The emperor hid the books.
"Let her in."
"promise."
squeak-
The door was pushed open.
Sirou walked into the room, bowed slightly to the emperor, and said respectfully: "Father, Sirou greets you."
The emperor nodded.
"Well, come and sit down."
Sirou sat down at the desk.
The emperor asked: "What do you want to see me about today?"
Si Rou said, "Father, just now the supervisor's last disciple Luo Weiyang came to the palace and told my daughter about the bandit problem in Bozhou. She is a little worried."
"Worried? Is she from Bozhou?"
"No, Weiyang is worried about her two senior brothers. Her two senior brothers are traveling outside, and it seems they are going to the south."
The emperor knew that Luo Weiyang and sisters Sirou and Yongjia were close friends, so he had no suspicions.
In fact, Sirou didn't know that Jianzheng's two male disciples were in Bozhou. She brought up Luo Weiyang purely to start the topic of Bozhou and to let the emperor have a superficial impression of Luo Weiyang.
The emperor hesitated for a moment.
"Come to think of it, I also know the situation over there. There was a tragedy where a whole family was wiped out recently."
Sirou was shocked.
"Destroy the whole family?"
"You do not know?"
"Hmm... no wonder Weiyang is so worried."
Sirou did not directly answer whether she knew or not.
The emperor didn't think much about it.
"Well, it seems that we should send an imperial envoy... No... an imperial envoy is not suitable, so let Lao Qi go."
The "old seventh" he mentioned was the seventh prince.
That man was criticized by Si Rou, Li Qingcha, and the emperor one after another. His original words were: "If you don't change your mindset, you will never be able to turn things around in your life."
In short, the Seventh Prince is a fool.
However, this cannot be blamed on the emperor. If a prince who is too capable is sent out, he may win over his own faction in the local area, which is what the feudal rulers least want to see.
Choosing the seventh prince could, on the one hand, appease the people, and on the other hand, show that he attached great importance to the matter and urge the officials of Bozhou to resolve the matter quickly.
The emperor hesitated for a moment.
"By the way, let that guy...let Luo Weiyang go too. Isn't she worried?"
Sirou looked worried after hearing this.
"Ah, I'm a little worried about Weiyang."
"All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. What is there to worry about when we follow the royal team?"
"Weiyang is a woman."
"That's true. The soldiers are all rough and tumble, and it's not convenient for a woman like her. How about this, let the Imperial Observatory send a male meteorologist... Oh, and let the Young Phoenix Battalion go with them."
The emperor thought of the magical "Winter Vacation Garden". The people of Bailu Academy attached great importance to it and everyone had a copy.
It’s just right, I can take this opportunity to test the quality of coach Li Qingcha.
He didn't notice that,
The corners of Sirou's mouth were curled up slightly.
Chapter 196 Entering Bozhou

The further south you go, the higher the temperature becomes and the muddier the road becomes.
On the winding road, there was a crisp sound of hooves, and dust was raised. Three horses were galloping towards us.
Call ~
Li Qingcha let out a sigh of relief.
"Entered Bozhou."
In front of her was a weathered boundary marker, with faintly visible mottled words:
Bozhou boundary.
You can follow this road all the way to Bozhou Prefecture.
Li Qingcha was about to ride his horse.
At this time, Gong Lianxue called her from behind and said in a low voice: "Look at the tree on the right side of the boundary marker. Is there a mark on it?"
Questions use the declarative mood.
The answer is of course yes.
The two walked over and found that it was indeed the mark used by Yue Sect disciples to communicate when they were traveling outside.
Xiang Nanyu said: "It seems to be a trick."
Li Qingcha took over the conversation, "If you encounter an emergency, you should follow the Zhifu direction, Taiyin will hide its shape and disappear, Liuhe will hide and make plans..."
"That's the Taoist secret."
"Ah this..."
"Hey, are you from our Demon Sect?"
Xiang Nanyu sighed.
Gong Lianxue also rolled her eyes at Li Qingcha, then suddenly pulled out her whip and searched for it while muttering something.
"If you fall into the acupoint, it will be easy to succeed..."
suddenly,
"here."
The girl fished out the brocade box from a pile of dead branches.
She slowly opened it and read the letter inside. Soon she frowned.
"Another family annihilation case."
"what?"
"It's Heng Qiuliu's message, take a look."
Xiang Nanyu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the name "Heng Qiu", because the other party was the one who set fire to Jinghu Lake and assassinated him.
She did not come over to read the letter.
Li Qingcha read out: "The tragedy of the Qi family's 19 members and the Hong family's 27 members, a large amount of jewelry was stolen, some of which were found around Mingxue Hall..."
This is obviously a frame-up.
Although Yuezong's outer disciples have not reached the rank, they can easily seduce men. Wouldn't it be easier and more comfortable to let them pay for it for themselves?
Whether it is murder or the extermination of an entire family, the motive is clearly insufficient.
Li Qingcha continued reading, "Also found with the jewelry were account books involving smuggling."
This is even more nonsense.
However, it was precisely because of the word "smuggling" that Li Qingcha felt that the matter was difficult, because in the eyes of the people above, smuggling might be more serious than exterminating the whole family.
Besides, murder cases are much easier to solve.
No matter how complicated the case is, how many people can be involved at most?
Smuggling is different. The unit is definitely not "people" but "forces". With multiple forces competing, perhaps even Bozhou Prefecture has problems.
Li Qingcha said, "Let's go. We don't need to go to Mingxuetang anymore. It must be closed now."
Gong Lianxue was confused.
"Where?"
"Of course we'll go directly to the Hong family. The letter said that the crime happened last night. If we go there now, the scene should not have been destroyed. We should try to find a breakthrough before sunset."
Before sunset...
How dare you say that.
Gong Lianxue looked at Li Qingcha's serious profile with a bit of obsession.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingcha said something that surprised the girl: "The case of exterminating a family is much easier than the case of smuggling."
Gong Lianxue: ...
Xiang Nanyu: ...
They looked at each other and decided not to comment.
The three of them rode across the boundary marker and headed straight for Bozhou Prefecture. They asked along the way and learned that the Hong family was in Wutong Rain Lane.
When they arrived at the entrance of Wutongyu Lane, there were no onlookers there. The yamen runners used whistle sticks to block any ordinary people from entering.
Li Qingcha looked into the alley,
I saw that the place was densely packed with constables.
"Tsk...trouble."
Gong Lianxue was puzzled.
"how?"
"Although the massacre of an entire family is not as serious as smuggling, it is definitely a major event that has alarmed the entire prefecture. Moreover, this is the second consecutive case. I am a little worried that the token of the Young Phoenix Camp will not be able to handle the matter."
"This……"
"Let's give it a try first."
Li Qingcha stepped forward quickly.
As expected, the two yamen runners waved their whistle sticks without any explanation, trying to pass them under Li Qingcha's armpits and push her against the wall.
Xiang Nanyu snorted coldly.
boom--
boom--
Only two muffled sounds were heard.
The girl's scabbard suddenly popped out and slapped the two yamen runners on the belly.
The bailiff took three steps back.
thump--
Kneel down together.
"No, you guys stole all the treasures inside!"
"Please spare his life..."
They are worried that the strong man who wiped out the whole family will come back again.
The commotion here attracted the constable.
Unlike the yamen runners, they all wore swords. They drew their swords together and slowly approached Li Qingcha and the other two.
