Yang Yingying looked at it carefully for a long time. In fact, it was the first time she read the appointment document. She searched for the words "Yunzhou" and "Governor". After seeing the bright red seal, she no longer had any doubts.

Up to now, the fact that the other party is willing to break up with her a weak woman for so long is actually a kind of sincerity and style.

Yang Yingying knelt down again, kowtowed and said: "Yang Yingying, a civilian woman, was originally a woman from the Yunzhou Jiaofang Division. She met and fell in love with Mr. Zhou a few years ago. She took off her lowly status and has been serving Mr. Zhou all the time."

Everyone tacitly showed the expressions of "that's how it is".

It turned out to be a seafood merchant. No wonder women are more knowledgeable than ordinary women, and they know how to read documents and official seals.Xu Qi'an suddenly realized.

In this era, seafood merchants are a highly educated and highly educated group among women.Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and Fu are proficient in everything.

Yang Yingying briefly talked about her past with Zhou Min, and frankly said that she was a woman raised outside, and Zhou Min would only meet her once in a while.

"Some time ago, Mr. Zhou suddenly came to find the woman and gave me something. He said that he might be in danger in the near future. If something unexpected happens, let me hide immediately, and then find a way to leave Yunzhou. Give this item to Lord Yang, the chief envoy of Qingzhou.

"It didn't take long for the woman to receive the news of Mr. Zhou's death." Yang Yingying's tears rolled down and she broke down in sobs:

"The woman was sad and frightened, and she didn't dare to live any longer, so she hid in a sister's house and asked her to inquire about the news.

"After hiding for a while, the lady's sister told me that Mr. Zhao's caravan was going to Qingzhou soon, so I borrowed 20 taels of silver from her, bought a horse, and left Yunzhou with the caravan."

After that, everyone will know.

Xu Qi'an watched with cold eyes, scrutinizing Yang Yingying's slight expression. When she spoke this time, her eyes were impartial and her voice was mournful and full of emotion.

Can't see the fake ingredients.

So he looked for clues from Yang Yingying's words - Zhou Min did not reveal his identity as a gangster until his death, even if the other party was a completely trustworthy acquaintance of Guan Bao.This shows that Zhou Min is a qualified dark boy.

If he revealed his identity easily, it would be very suspicious.

As for why he went to Qingzhou to find Ziyang Layman instead of other neighboring states, Xu Qi'an's judgment was that Zhou Min didn't believe in anyone, only the great Confucian of Yunlu Academy.

First of all, compared with ordinary scholars, the great Confucianists of Yunlu Academy are more trustworthy because of their practice system.After all, bad people cannot go through the Confucian system.

Secondly, Yunlu Academy and the scholars who were born in the Imperial College have a conflict of ethics. Adhering to the principle that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, it is the right choice to find Layman Ziyang.

Governor Zhang frowned, "You suspect that Zhou Min was killed."

Yang Yingying nodded vigorously: "This is already obvious, isn't it, I beg you to make the decision for my husband."

"This..." Governor Zhang pondered for a moment: "Okay, I promise you, you can take out what Zhou Experience left for you at the end."

Yang Yingying kowtowed immediately: "Thank you sir."

Xu Qi'an couldn't help but look at him differently, Lao Zhang's scheming is okay, he is worthy of being an old man in the officialdom, who works with Wei Yuan, his heart is quite dirty.

Yang Yingying straightened up, reached into her bosom, took out half of the jade pendant, and offered it with both hands: "This is what Mr. Zhou gave to the woman that night."

All eyes were on the jade pendant.

It was a semicircular jade pendant with a clear green body. It was supposed to be a round jade pendant, but it was cut off by a sharp weapon in the middle and split into two.

Jiang Lvzhong took the jade pendant and handed it to Governor Zhang, who held it on his fingertips and rubbed it, groaning silently.

"This looks like a token?" Jiang Lvzhong whispered. After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qi'an and asked for his opinion.

Governor Zhang also looked over.

Look at what I do, I will investigate the case, but I am not a fortune-teller! You two make no secret of thinking of me as a tool. Xu Qi'an mused: "Let's go to Yunzhou first, what's the use of guessing."

While putting away the jade pendant, Governor Zhang ordered the soldiers: "Go ahead and go to Yunzhou."

They dug a hole to bury the corpses on the spot, took the surviving merchants and goods with them, and the team continued to set off, heading towards Yunzhou along the official road.

The sun was shining brightly and warm. On this rare morning, Huaiqing finished his sword practice and was about to call the maid to prepare hot water. When he turned his head, he saw two maids sitting in the gazebo playing chess.

Huaiqing frowned, not because he was dissatisfied with the court ladies playing chess, but because they didn't understand chess at all.

She didn't make a sound, walked into the gazebo silently, and watched the two court ladies playing chess.

The delicate little palace ladies completely forgot themselves and threw themselves into the chess game, not noticing the master's approach.

They play chess without rules, don't know the layout, don't know how to fight for the dominant position, and they move like flying, pattapapata seem not to think.

Huaiqing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, this kind of child's play was very uncomfortable for a big player like her.But after watching it for a while, she understood.

This kind of chess is very simple, it is to compete with whoever forms five pieces first, vertically, horizontally or obliquely, it doesn't matter, whoever connects five stars first is the winner.

Can't help but ask: "What kind of chess is this?"

The two maids shook in fright, got up in a panic, and replied softly: "It's backgammon."

Backgammon?What is this?

Huai Qing, who was well educated, froze for a moment.

Another court lady explained: "It was reported by Princess Lin'an, and now it has been reported in the palace, and everyone is playing."

Everyone refers to the eunuchs and maids in the palace.

"I heard that even Chen Guifei said it was interesting." Another court lady said.

Lin'an?She is just a stupid girl Huaiqing nodded and said: "I need to take a bath, so the cook doesn't have to prepare lunch."

Emperor Yuan Jing will hold a family banquet this morning, and the princes and daughters will have a meal in the Qing Palace.

After bathing, Princess Huaiqing left Yuanzi and went to Qianqing Palace.

She met her brothers and sisters in the magnificent elegant hall, and Lin'an, who likes to wear red dresses and gorgeous and complicated jewelry, is the center of the topic when she is not present.

Today was a bit different, the royal brothers and sisters just nodded their heads to Huai Qing, and then continued the topic just now.

"Lin'an has created a genre. The rules of backgammon are easy to understand, and it is more interesting to play. Even the servants in my palace are easy to learn and play with great interest."

"The name of our Princess Lin'an will also be widely spread."

With a round face and charming peach eyes, he enjoyed the flattery of his brothers and sisters, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said a few words of modesty.

Like a proud little hen who wants to show off but holds back.

Seeing Huaiqing coming in, she raised her snow-white jaw slightly, showing a proud posture.

Be jealous of me, be jealous of me, framed thoughts in my heart, glance at Huaiqing from the corner of my eye.

But the aloof Huaiqing just sat down, drank a few sips of tea, and ignored his stupid sister.

Hum Huaiqing is really jealous of me.Mounted comforted himself in his heart.
