Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

The magistrate of Liangxiang's expression on his face made everyone around him feel sympathetic. Speaking of which, the regent has been living in seclusion since he came, and he hasn't bothered everyone much, but everyone The first time I saw his soldiers dare not speak loudly, and I don't know why.

Fortunately, the person has already left now, and the only headache for them is that they still have to continue to look for people in the next few days - the little ladies who will come to buy in ten days and a half months have not been seen in this month. After coming here, the regent naturally didn't find the person he was looking for.

Khan, the county magistrate of Liangxiang, said cautiously, "Maybe...they have gone to the state capital."

The regent didn't say anything when he said this, but after a few days, he was ready to pack up and leave.

The county magistrate of Liangxiang thought that he had persuaded the regent, but in fact Xiao Xuexing felt that staying here for too long would easily arouse the suspicion of interested people.

Now most people in the court think that King Xuancheng must have died somewhere without a sound, so they throw him to the back of their minds and don't think about it anymore. Multiple branches.

Xiao Zirong is not very threatening now, but it is a good sign for some rebellious officials and thieves. If they get Xiao Zirong, those people may rebel immediately.

Xiao Xuexing arranged for some people to stay in Liangxiang County, and set off for the state capital by himself. The state city in South Yanzhou was originally the only way for this patrol.

Strictly speaking, the distance between him and Xiao Zirong and his party was not far at the beginning, but it was only because the official business was not in a hurry this time, the ox cart was moving slowly, and it was basically dark when Xiao Zirong and others were on the way. When to rest, if you can meet someone, you can stay overnight. If you can’t, you can just sleep in the wild. Anyway, the weather is not cold now, so you don’t have to worry about getting sick.

As for Xiao Xuexing and his party wanting to stay in the post house, he himself doesn't care. He used to live anywhere when he was marching and fighting. It's just that the people around him are more careful than each other. He is afraid that he will get sick if he doesn't eat well or live well. There are not many post houses on the road, and they have to travel according to the distance of the post houses. It is not as fast as Xiao Zirong and others sitting in a mule cart.

When Xiao Zirong entered Nanyanzhou City, Xiao Xuexing was still approving official documents on the way.

When they arrived in South Yanzhou City, they would naturally still be intercepted. Xiao Zirong didn't know that the scope of the investigation was much wider, so he behaved very calmly and talked to the city guard with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the city guard looked him up and down several times, then looked at Bai Yan, and said with some hesitation: "What's the matter with this little lady? Take this thing off first."

The city guard was referring to Mi Li, Xiao Zirong paused for a moment, seeing Bai Yan's hands clenched subconsciously, he leaned over and stuffed two copper coins into the city guard's hand and said in a low voice: "You two elder brothers, let me be more accommodating. My sister's face is damaged, so she is not suitable for seeing people."

Two copper coins are not too little for ordinary people. Xiao Zirong thought that there would be no problem at first, but unexpectedly, the city guard put the money in his hand again and said, "No, I have to pick it."

Xiao Zirong was startled, and said calmly: "In this way, I won't embarrass you two, just don't pick it up, how about I let her lift it up for you two to see?"

The city guards didn't object, anyway, they just wanted to see Bai Yan's face, so it didn't matter what form it was.

Xiao Zirong turned his head to look at Bai Yan. He gave Bai Yan a lot of psychological support along the way, so that she doesn't have to care too much about those people, as long as they don't care. Anyway, Bai Yan only needs to get along with them for a long time in the future. There is no need to mix familiarity here.

At that time, he was worried that this kind of problem would happen, so he kept persuading Bai Yan, and Bai Yan somehow figured it out. At this moment... Xiao Zirong has no choice but to rely on Bai Yan.

Bai Yan took a deep breath and picked up the mask. Because of the mask, she didn't wear that mask. The two guards took a look at Bai Yan and were startled. The scar on Bai Yan's face was still quite hideous. Yang Wu was ruthless at the beginning, but she didn't treat her well later, so it didn't help much, but her unscarred face was very pretty, and the guards who saw her felt it was a pity, so they waved their hands to let them pass.

Xiao Zirong was wondering as he followed the people forward: "Why are you even checking on the little lady now?"

After entering the city and seeing the notice board, he knew why - not only did he have his "missing person notice" on it, but also Liu Cainiang's.

Xiao Zirong's scalp tingled almost instantly. He never expected that Liu Cainiang had been found there. Why?

Where is the flaw?

For a moment, he wished he could leave immediately, far away from this place.

However, they have already passed the inspection at the door, and they have stated that they want to sell something, even the goods have been inspected, because the pickled vegetables they brought are very eye-catching, and now they leave in a hurry, maybe they will be discovered.

Xiao Zirong was puzzled, he was already very careful, even if he went to Liangxiang County, he felt that there was no place to reveal his identity, how did he find out?

Fortunately, this time Liu Cainiang could not persist, otherwise they would have been arrested at this time. There is nothing special about his appearance and it is not easy to find out. Liu Cainiang's image is really easy to catch.

Covered in cold sweat, Xiao Zirong followed Bai Yan all the way to the post house in the state capital. Bai Yan said as she walked, "This is a private post house. It may not be as clean as the post house, but it's cheaper."

At this time, she had recovered, and she found that what Xiao Zirong said was right. Although she didn't like others to see her face, she didn't live with those people. It didn't affect her much.

It's just that she is fine, and the one who is in a state of insanity becomes Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Zirong nodded silently, and followed Bai Yan into the Minyi. Fortunately, when Bai Yan booked the room, Xiao Zirong came back to his senses and insisted on booking two rooms, otherwise he might have to stay with Bai Yan and Lu Liu Squeeze it.

Seeing Xiao Zirong's wide-eyed expression, Bai Yan couldn't help laughing: "We came out to serve the city...Your Majesty, where can a servant live in such a nice room?"

After the boss gave them the door keys, they were left to find the room by themselves, and there was no one to lead the way. Xiao Zirong walked according to the boss's instructions and said, "Who said you are servants? If you leave it outside, you will be my taxis." .”

Bai Yan's heart moved, Xiao Zirong didn't tell anyone about it, the main reason was that few people could understand what he said, but Bai Yan was educated anyway, so naturally he remembered the phrase "the king shares with the scholars" world.

They don't have a world, but why is the place where they are now not their world?

Bai Yan was moved in her heart and didn't bother with this, she just said: "Wait, I'll go to the spot first to see if I can find anyone. If I can't find anyone today, I might bother you to stay here for a few more days."

Now Xiao Zirong can't wait to put on his wings and fly away from this place, why do he want to stay for a few more days?But he is hard to say, now only Liu Cainiang knows about his situation, and he doesn't intend to tell others, so he said: "It's better if it can be done, but if it can't be done, we can sell pickled vegetables. Why don't we sell it?"

However, Bai Yan is determined to facilitate the sale. Is selling pickled vegetables comparable to selling salt?What's more, if you get in touch with there, you will definitely sell them in large quantities, and this little pickle can't compare to that income.

She didn't know that Xiao Zirong didn't really want to do this business anymore. After all, if it really comes down to it, it needs to be traded regularly. He only went to Liangxiang County before, and then Liu Cainiang and the others took people to buy things a few times. The clues have been touched, who knows if this regular transaction will happen again?

And in the process he didn't even know what went wrong.

It would be embarrassing if he was found out, aside from his identity, and found out that he was trading with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and what he was selling was an important material like salt, even if it wasn't a strategic material. I don't know what would happen.

Xiao Zirong comforted Bai Yan with a few words to reassure her, but Bai Yan only regarded Xiao Zirong as gentle and generous, and was even more moved and motivated, which made Xiao Zirong very melancholy.

After Bai Yan left, he huddled himself in the room and began to reflect, feeling that this matter might be Xiao Xuexing's handwriting, and that other than him, others might not want him to go back.

As for why Xiao Xuexing found out, it was probably the flaw left when he bought those young ladies, otherwise how could Xiao Xuexing know Liu Cainiang's name and appearance?

At the beginning Xiao Zirong was afraid that leaving his name would cause problems, so he asked Liu Cainiang to come forward, but unexpectedly, he was still caught by the other party.

He was also a little puzzled, it's been so long, half a year has passed, why is Xiao Xue still so persistent?

Could it be that he, or "Xiao Zirong" has some big secrets related to the community?

As for coercing the emperor to order the princes, this basically does not exist. If Xiao Xuexing really wanted to usurp the throne, Xiao Xuan would not be able to ascend the throne at all.

He stayed in the inn and was troubled for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what Xiao Xuexing was doing. Fortunately, he was alone in the room, so he didn't have to force himself, and wanted to shake Xiao Xuexing with a sullen face and ask him why.

When he was worried, Bai Yan went out for a whole day, and when he came back, he almost didn't even have the strength to eat, Xiao Zirong put aside his previous worries and looked at Bai Yan with concern and asked: "What's going on? Why are you so tired?"

Bai Yan took a sip of water and took a breath and said: "I haven't been to the state capital for a few years, and there have been some changes here, and the person I know moved to another place before, and it took me a long time to find out."

Xiao Zirong asked, "Did you find it?"

Bai Yan nodded: "I found it, but it happened that he went out and probably came back the day after tomorrow, why don't we go around the state capital tomorrow."

Xiao Zirong originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Lu Liu and Bai Yan's expectant faces, it was obvious that the bustle of the state capital was very attractive to them, so he couldn't help but agree in a soft heart.

Of course, it also has something to do with his not wanting to attract attention. It’s so weird that he doesn’t go out every day except to eat at the post house, and it seems that no one in the city checks carefully. The strictest is when he enters the city.

He also observed in the city for a period of time. As the new year approached, more business travelers and people came and went. Some of them wanted to go back to the Northern Wei Dynasty for the New Year, and some of them wanted to stockpile goods for their families.

Obviously, the two countries are in the same situation, but in the city of South Yanzhou, people of the two countries can often be seen sitting together, eating and chatting, and the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty are different from here if not for their clothes. It's really hard to tell the difference.

Xiao Zirong calmed down after the initial panic. The most important thing was that even if he didn't do the salt business, he had to sell the pickled vegetables he brought, after all, everyone came.
