The prince is difficult

The next day, with heavy rain on their heads and uneven muddy roads under their feet, the group of them accelerated their journey and arrived in Dalong County in the middle of the night.

"Dong dong dong."

"Dong dong dong."

"Dong dong dong."

Such a sound is still extremely loud in the silent night, and it may be accompanied by the sound of rain, but it seems faintly visible.

"Shopkeeper, open the door, we are going to stay."

After repeating it two or three times, I heard someone rushing to open the door in the inner room.

"Stop knocking, here we come."

When the second brother saw a large group of people, his hazy drowsiness immediately disappeared.Then he said, "Guest officers, you don't want to accommodate so many people, do you? We can't accommodate so many people in this small hotel."

"Stay overnight, see if these are enough." A gold ingot suddenly appeared in the man's hand, and Xiao Er's eyes were straightened.

The second brother swallowed, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go invite our shopkeeper."

The second brother explained the matter, and the shopkeeper directly cleaned up the three courtyards of his house, allowing them to move in smoothly.

Gong Jin and Tuoba Liang had a separate courtyard, and most of the materials were piled up in the warehouse.

The next day, the weather cleared up, and even the air smelled of mud.

Early in the morning, more than a dozen people were sent out to inquire about the news.

Although Gong Jin went to bed late, he woke up quite early. As soon as he opened the door, the door of the next room also opened.

"Your Highness."

Gong Jin thought for a while, "General, I want to discuss with you."

Tuoba Liang looked a little serious, and said seriously: "Your Highness, please speak."

"Before, we have been sleeping outside, and it doesn't matter what we call it, but in the future, for the sake of convenience, we have to change each other's address."

As soon as Tuoba Liang's thoughts changed, he completely understood.

"Yes, sir."

Gong Jin nodded in satisfaction, and said, "This young master wants to go for a walk in the streets of Dalong County, but I don't know if Tuoba—the housekeeper would like to accompany you?"

Dalong County has a small population and covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters, which is not the most barren place.Gong Jin had heard rumors about Dalong County a long time ago. There was a lot of human trafficking in this place, and the people were miserable.

On the street, there are not many passers-by coming and going, and there are only so many people coming and going.Compared with the hustle and bustle of Kyoto, it is much lonely.

Gong Jin didn't speak, and Tuoba Liang also kept silent, following closely all the way.Occasionally, when he paused, he would carefully look at the rumored unfavored prince.Looking at his appearance from the side, with a smile in his eyes, he really has the shadow of Concubine Ru back then.But with this temper, I don't know who he looks like.Gentle and gentle, he always has his own way of dealing with people and things, making it impossible for people to feel disgusted.

"General, we should go back."

It took Gong Jin several hours to walk from the east to the west of the city. Along the way, many businesses closed their doors tightly, and there were only a few small merchants selling goods on the streets.Seeing this, he probably had an idea in mind.

"Your Highness, what do you gain?"

Gong Jin smiled like a fox, but didn't respond, and said straight, "We will understand later."

Within a few hours, someone hurriedly reported to Tuoba Liang.

"General, we have heard from many people that there is a trafficker here who sells the trafficked people to the border countries at several times the price."

"General, according to many people, the materials sent last time have not been received."

"We have also received reliable information that the yamen manager is related to human trafficking, and we heard that the two are related."

"We also heard..."

The people who went out early in the morning came back one by one, bringing back news that made Tuoba Liang furious.

"This group of people dare to do such a rebellious thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven. They really are parents' officials in vain." Tuoba Liang was already irritable, but he has restrained himself a little when he walked with Gong Jin in recent days.Now when I heard about this, I immediately wanted to go to the yamen with a knife and chop off the county magistrate.

Gong Jin pursed her lips, smiled without saying a word, and her gentle appearance made people somewhat angry.Tuoba Liang snorted coldly, the good image of Gong Jin in his mind before was completely destroyed.

Gong Jin was not in a hurry seeing his fuss, and said directly, "General, please wait patiently."

After noon.

Gong Jin is enjoying the comfort after lunch.

"Your Highness, there is a man outside who claims to be a yamen catcher and asks to see him."

From now until now, Tuoba Liang's attitude towards Gong Jin has been neither cold nor indifferent, and his previous respect has long since disappeared when he replied.Now that someone said that he came to look for the Fourth Highness, no matter how unhappy he was, he still had to put His Highness's safety first.

"Hurry up from the Yamen? Who is it?" Tuoba Liang became vigilant at the first moment. They had just arrived in Dalong County and had never revealed their identities to anyone. How could someone from the Yamen suddenly ask for an interview? Things are strange.

"Return to the general, this person did not disclose it, he only asked to see His Highness."

"En, let him come in." Gong Jin finished drinking a bowl of chicken soup, took the handkerchief from the attendant, wiped the corner of his mouth lightly, and responded calmly.

"Your Highness, be careful of fraud." Tuoba Liang reminded.

Gong Jin smiled slightly, "I trust the general."

The visitor was quickly ushered in, glanced at the two present, and said, "Qiu Bai has seen Your Highness."

"sit."

"Don't dare."

"The matter has a result?"

"Yes."

Tuoba Liang: "..."

The old man blushed, feeling that he was being played by His Highness, and listening to the exchange between the two, he seemed to have known him for a long time, and this person was also His Highness's.

Things have to go back to before Gong Jin left. After meeting Qiu Bai that time, Gong Jin thought about how to promote this person. First of all, he agreed to Aunt Ye's matter and treated the descendants of the Qiu family well. .Secondly, Gong Jin discovered that Qiu Bai, apart from his cold personality like a rock, is actually a rare talent.He has been in the capital yamen for many years, step by step from the most basic yamen to the third-class policeman.However, the record is the best in the entire yamen. Most of the cases in the capital are followed by Qiu Bai. The reason why he has not been promoted is a bit ironic, but it is because of his character.

He doesn't get on well with people on weekdays, and often offends people when he opens his mouth.This is also the real reason why he couldn't go up and down, but no one was kicked out of the yamen.

Afterwards, Gong Jin threw out an olive branch in the name of His Highness, and his emperor's father agreed to him, which successfully brought Qiu Bai out.

Qiu Bai made it very clear that he came to Dalong County ahead of time, sneaked into the yamen of Dalong County as a yamen servant, and obtained a lot of useful information.

With all the witnesses and material evidence, the county magistrate of Dalong County can be taken down in one fell swoop.

"General, it's time for us to do something."

Tuoba Liang is still in the fog up to this moment, he wanted to raise a knife to cut someone down a moment ago, but His Highness stopped him, but when he turned around, His Highness had already sharpened the knife, just waiting to put him under the knife .

This is really...

Tuoba Liang is a military commander, and he really can't find suitable words to describe his mood at the moment.

"General?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Do you use the knife or Ben Gong?"

The corners of Qiu Bai's mouth twitched when he heard it outside. This topic seemed to be discussing whether you should kill the pig today or should I kill it?And these words were heard from a prince.

Tuoba Liang pondered for a long time, and said, "Your Highness, let the old minister handle this matter."

After the two discussed it, Tuoba Liang led a group of people, holding Qiu Bai's evidence, and walked directly towards the county magistrate's office.This sudden blow caught the county magistrate by surprise.

"General Tuoba is here to clean up the county magistrate, everyone, come and watch."

This is what Gong Jin asked for. In order to set off the tall image of General Tuoba, he also wanted to tell the people of Dalong County that you will not be oppressed anymore... Of course, the most important thing is that this general is an iron-blooded general Well, if he comes to deal with this corrupt official, he is really the most suitable one.

Gong Jin wore plain clothes, and led Qiu Bai among the crowd to watch the excitement.

"Qiu Bai, do you think those little dolls who were trafficked to other countries can still be found?"

Qiu Bai looked at it, and was asked such a sentence for no reason.

Gong Jin once got lost with his third brother when he was young, and experienced the feeling of not having a loved one by his side.So when I learned that there was child trafficking in Dalong County, I really hated it.

Although the county magistrate has been taken down by General Tuoba with a thunderbolt, including a gathering place for human trafficking in Dalong County, he still feels depressed.

Will those lost children be as lucky as him to be sent back to their parents?

"Returning to Your Highness, no matter what, there is hope for everything in life."

"Is there hope for survival?" Gong Jin murmured, not knowing whether he was asking himself or Qiu Bai who was beside him.

On that day, Gong Jin took out the sword bestowed by the emperor and directly chopped the man down, which opened the first experience of beheading a corrupt official in his life.

Outside the Dalong County Square, many people surrounded them.The moment they saw the magistrate being beheaded, they almost fell to their knees on the ground, weeping bitterly, shouting, thank God, thank the emperor for his grace.

There was a drizzle in the sky, at first it was just one drop, then two drops, and soon the heavy rain came.

The blood was washed all over the place, but no one left in advance.

After the corrupt officials were resolved, Gong Jin quickly wrote a memorial, and hurriedly sent him back to the capital.

"Your Highness, the weather is not suitable, you should add more clothes."

After Tuoba Liangjing's incident today, his attitude towards Gong Jin was forwarded again.The respect when he first left the palace was the respect a courtier should have for a member of the royal family, and the careful care all the way afterwards was due to his duty.Today's respect is admiration from the bottom of my heart, what Gong Jin did today is really too fast, and the most important thing is to satisfy Tuoba Liang's appetite.

Looking around, in the entire imperial family, there has not yet been a prince who is like Gong Jin, who can plan ahead, collect criminal evidence, settle the case, and finally solve hidden dangers.

Tuoba Liang is really convinced at this moment, he is convinced.

Gong Jin shook her head and said, "No rush."

The three of them were in a room, but it was quiet. Gong Jin was reading a book with peace of mind, and the other two looked at each other for a few times, and finally turned their eyes away. It continued like this, and the atmosphere was really funny.

"Qiu Bai, what do you think of Guan Gu Yandi?"

Dalong County got rid of a moth, and they will stay in Dalong County for these two days to open a warehouse for disaster relief.

However, Gong Jin has been keeping an eye on Guan Guyan's place. If he wants to pass smoothly, he must find a way to get the best of both worlds.

Qiu Bai got up immediately and said, "Return to Your Highness, before Qiu Bai was on a business trip, he arrived near Guan Guyan. There is a passage between two valleys, and that passage is the only way. According to the local people , if you want to go that way, you must leave something behind. If you don’t follow, you will probably see blood, and more seriously, you will lose your life directly.”

Gong Jin was thinking while listening, this is the rhythm of one man being in charge of others, if ordinary people lose some money, there is still a way.However, they transported a large amount of materials. I believe that the greed of the horse thieves must want to keep them all.

The path of peace talks will not work.

"But there are others?"

Qiu Bai looked at Gong Jin for a long time before slowly saying, "There is..."

"Qiu Bai, let's talk about it."

"It is said that those horse thieves are still lustful. They will snatch anyone who is beautiful, regardless of gender."

Gong Jin: "..."
