Xie Lingyu speculated that this matter had something to do with the magistrate who governed the Nanling area, but he didn't expect that it would directly involve Nanling City, which means that the Nanling City lord acquiesced or even covered it up.

"How did magistrate Liu know?" He pondered for a moment and asked.

"The wives and daughters of the lower officials were taken captive by them. They asked me to come to Fanzhen to disturb the audience. They wanted to dispel the doubts of the young masters. They never thought that the young masters are all extremely smart, and even the lower officials... are convinced."

"These officials all over the world sent trusted subordinates to investigate, but those people were always watching my every move, so they didn't find any beneficial clues. The officials were afraid that if they continued to investigate, they would scare the snake away, so they wanted to ask the young masters for help."

County Magistrate Liu bowed his head in shame, Xie Lingyu didn't think it was a big deal, not to mention that those people who threatened Liu County Magistrate's wife and daughter were unkind and unrighteous. .

"Does County Magistrate Liu know where Mrs. Ling has been taken?" Xie Lingyu asked hesitantly, "Or an approximate location is fine."

County Magistrate Liu's expression was slightly stunned, a little astonished, as if he didn't expect that he was concerned about this matter, and hurriedly said: "Probably they know, they expected that I would not dare to act rashly, and they would definitely imprison my wife and children in Nanling City .”

They hadn't heard anything different about Nanling City, and thought that the people in the city would be safe, but the surrounding towns and villages might be affected, not to mention that the people in the city who were infected with the plague might have been moved to remote villages by them long ago , or directly silence, but no matter which one is inhumane.

Right now, while controlling the plague in Fanzhen, they need to obtain preliminary useful evidence, and their top priority is to rescue the wife and daughter of County Magistrate Liu first, so that those people will lose their leverage to restrain them.

Xie Lingyu and County Magistrate Liu talked to each other, and after a meal, several people had their own ideas. One of Meng Yi and Sun Qian couldn't understand, and the other couldn't speak, while Qingqiu Jue was smart and could speak. But he had to pretend, so in the end only Xie Lingyu was not full.

But after receiving so much news, Xie Lingyu got his train of thought straightened out. Xie Lingyu was very satisfied. After saying goodbye to each other, they went back to the room and went straight to find the package containing the pastries.

The door was closed, Qingqiu Jue walked in slowly, still holding a pot and a small spoon in his hand, seeing him like this, he didn't say anything rude, he just pointed behind him, "Are you trying to starve him to death?"

The hairs on Xie Lingyu's back suddenly stood on end, and he looked back suddenly, only to see little Asu tilting his head to look at him in his swaddling baby, not crying or fussing, his big eyes staring straight at the pastry in his hand, pouting his mouth pitifully "Well..."

"It's over, little Asu must be very hungry." Xie Lingyu remembered that he picked up a child today, and quickly patted the pastry crumbs on his hands, picked the child up, looked at the pastry again, and said hesitantly: "He You shouldn't be able to eat these, but there are..."

Qingqiu Jue sat beside Xie Lingyu, took the teacup, poured the goat's milk in the pot, and stirred it with a spoon.

Xie Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and he said why this man suddenly turned a corner just after he came back. He thought he was going for a walk and ignored him, but he didn't expect him to be so careful.

On the contrary, I forgot everything.

Xie Lingyu squeezed the child's little hand guiltily, and apologized softly: "I'm sorry..."

Little A Su naturally didn't understand, tilted his head and held Xie Lingyu's slender fingers with his small fleshy hands, "Oh..."

"He forgives you." Qingqiu Jue took the spoon and said casually: "Hold it well, don't choke on it later."

Xie Lingyu hurriedly hugged the child, the little Asu seemed to be very hungry, and he bit the spoon several times with his small mouth, Qingqiu Jue raised his eyebrows, and tapped the center of his brows lightly with his fingers, and then he let go, He looked at Qingqiu Jue eagerly.

The two hug and feed each other, the picture is indescribably harmonious.

Little Asu hiccupped when he was full, and stared dazedly for a while, then his eyelids gradually drooped and he yawned several times.

Xie Lingyu carefully put him on the bed in the inner room, Qingqiu Jue handed the pot and spoon to the servant outside, turned around and saw Xie Lingyu sitting at the table looking at him.

"What's the matter?" Qingqiu Jue closed the door behind his back and sat down opposite him.

Seeing his innocent look, Xie Lingyu asked angrily, "Are you okay to tell me?"

Everyone is an ally, what happened to sharing and sharing clues?

Looking at Xie Lingyu's eyes full of curiosity, Qingqiu Jue paused, sat down and poured himself a glass of water, and said slowly, "What do you want to know?"

Xie Lingyu rubbed his nose and said hesitantly, "...I want to know."

"Tch." Qingqiu Jue laughed angrily, instead of doing Tai Chi with him, he took out a note from his bosom and threw it over, "Lincheng has arrived in Nanling territory, the source is already known, the evidence is still being collected, Then you can write a letter to Zhonglu now, and the days are not too far behind."

Xie Lingyu listened to the content of the note while looking at it, and her heart couldn't help being shocked. It clearly stated, from the person from Beijing to the prefect of Nanling, to whether the county magistrate Liu is trustworthy, and where his wife and daughter are. place, at a glance.

He was able to collect so much information in such a short period of time, which was beyond his comparability. "Killing" was much more terrifying than he had imagined, Xie Lingyu thought helplessly, fortunately they were not enemies.

He put down the note with complicated emotions, Xie Lingyu guessed that "Qingzhai" was the apparent leader of the organization, and he might be directly subordinate to Qingqiu Jue's confidant.

That being the case.

The relationship between "kill" and "wen" is so ambiguous, could it be that Qingqiu Jue is actually the helm of "wen"?

No, not right.

"Wen" was established at the wrong time.

"What are you thinking, do you understand?" Qingqiu Jue saw him staring blankly at himself in a daze, guessing what he was thinking in his heart, he was agitated for a moment to the imminent young master Qingqiu, and felt a little guilty interrupted him, "write a letter to Chongkill."

Only then did Xie Lingyu come back to his senses. Realizing his gaffe, he felt a little annoyed. He shook his head and went to the side to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He pondered for a while before slowly picking up the pen.

The brush and ink flow smoothly on the paper like a dragon swimming. Xie Lingyu's handwriting is self-contained, grand and wanton but with a touch of smoothness at the end, just like his own temperament.

Qingqiu Jue narrowed her phoenix eyes, and looked at his extremely serious side face lightly. After he finished writing, she fanned the paper with satisfaction, and then lowered her eyes casually.

Xie Lingyu handed him the paper, "Is this okay?"

Qingqiu Jue reached out to take it, and glanced at it.

Very good, the first two paragraphs praised His Majesty for giving him the opportunity to make contributions, and the middle three paragraphs vividly wrote about the collusion between the magistrate of Nanling and the city lord. At the end, he expressed his loyalty and expressed his confidence to complete this task.

Qingqiu Jue's eyes paused for a long time on the sentence "Your Majesty is a trustworthy minister, the minister is so utterly utterly heartbroken, he will not hesitate to say anything", the corners of his mouth unconsciously pursed into an unhappy arc.

Xie Lingyu observed him quietly, and saw his eyes fixed on that flattery, thinking that he was upset at the way he flattered the emperor, so he quickly explained: "This...it's not, I was just confusing him."

"Confused him?"

Qingqiu Jue lowered his eyes, squeezed the paper slightly harder, his voice was very soft, and he repeated it without emotion.

Xie Lingyu inexplicably felt a shudder down his spine, and sat upright, saying, "I'm trying to create a foolish, loyal and righteous image, absolutely not half-hearted."

Qingqiu Jue returned the letter to him without saying a word, and commented pertinently, "That's right, there is a limit to advance and retreat."

That means it's all right, Xie Lingyu sealed the letter into an envelope, he opened the door and handed the letter to the boy, and asked him to hand it over to the guards to send it to the capital, then turned around and went in to put the door bolt on the door.

Xie Lingyu turned her head and saw Qingqiu Jue standing in front of the case, holding a pen and casually sketching a few times on the paper, the baby's facial features gradually came to life, Xie Lingyu didn't disturb him, but quietly watched from the side.

It's just that the more he looked, the more he felt that the facial features looked familiar. He frowned and thought for a moment, only feeling that the answer was right in front of him, but he couldn't grasp the fleeting feeling.

Suddenly.

A smiling and gentle face appeared in his mind, the man took him through the mountains and rivers, chatting about the world...

He finally remembered who the little Asu looked like. His immature eyebrows had not yet opened, but he looked very much like the humble and polite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Qingqiu Jue put down the pen, and the end of the brush lightly touched the wooden table. Xie Lingyu was still staring at the baby portrait in a daze, and said with difficulty after a long while: "Add the date, it will be A Su's birthday in the future."

Qingqiu Jue heard something wrong, turned his head to look, met a pair of evasive red eyes, he paused, "You think so too?"

Xie Lingyu turned his eyes away, and shook his head after a while, "It doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it at all."

Rationality is saying that he is A Su, not Prince Chongming, and they rescued the ignorant baby from the forest, not someone's shadow.

But people have selfishness, Xie Lingyu couldn't help pouring his feelings for the prince into little A Su, and couldn't help having fantasies.

A Su, A Su... It is the fate of fate.

He turned sideways to look at little Asu who was sleeping soundly behind the screen, rubbed his fingers on the jade pendant engraved with the word "Jue" in his arms, thinking in a daze.

When the dust settles, no one knows whether the old man will stand quietly beside the pagoda tree, or laugh out loud.

There seemed to be a light sigh coming from beside him, and the folding fan that was exposed in his arms was pulled away. Xie Lingyu subconsciously looked at it, and grunted in pain, "Uh..."

"Why did you hit me?" Xie Lingyu frowned, trying to take back the folding fan in displeasure, but he dodged sideways.

"I said I would take two and share it with me. This is mine." Qingqiu Jue leaned back, yawned and walked inside.

Xie Lingyu suddenly lost all sad thoughts, and raised his foot to kick, but Qingqiu Jue turned around and approached him as if he had eyes behind him, "Don't try to sneak up on me, you're not good enough yet."

Xie Lingyu was taken aback by what he said, but the man seemed to say it casually, then turned his head and began to untie his belt, "The cradle will arrive tomorrow, so squeeze it first today."

Xie Lingyu saw that little A-Su was sleeping soundly, so he didn't say a word, took off his coat and carefully entered into the bed, and protected little A-Su in his arms, lest a certain sleeping position would press him domineeringly.

Little Asu smacked his lips and buried himself in Xie Lingyu's arms.

The candle was extinguished by the palm wind, and the room fell into darkness. Two even breaths came from around him, but Qingqiu Jue couldn't fall asleep.

Just now when he saw Xie Lingyu showing a sad expression, a strange irritability suddenly surged in his heart, and he snatched the folding fan by accident, trying to disturb his thoughts.

There was no reason, but I did it on a whim.

Xu Shi was thinking about the past friendship, Xu Shi felt that he was a person who could be friends with, but it was just a momentary impulse, and there was no need to delve into it at all.
