Not long after Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu left Lingtai County, a Yulin Guard appeared in Lingtai County.

The county magistrate of Lingtai County led a group of officials out in a panic to greet him.

Shang Kui got off his horse, took out two portraits from his arms, and handed them to the county magistrate.

"Look, have you seen the two people in the portrait?"

The portraits depict a man and a woman.

The man has a high nose and deep eyes, with a soft face, and looks indistinguishable from male and female.

The woman has bright eyes and white teeth, her cherry lips are slightly raised, her eyebrows are curved when she smiles, and there are two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, which is very flattering.

The county magistrate immediately recognized that the man in the portrait was the one who was wanted recently, and his arrest warrant is still posted in Lingtai County.

As for the portrait of the woman, it made him feel very strange, and he was sure that he had never seen this woman before.

But in order not to miss any clues, the county magistrate summoned all the people in the county office and asked them to look at the portrait one by one to see if anyone had seen the person in the portrait?

The people in the county government say that there are too many, and that there are too few and not too many.

It will take some time for everyone to go through it.

Fang Wujiu didn't want to waste time waiting, so he whispered something to Shang Kui.

"I'll take Old Wang for a stroll, and I'll be back soon."

Shang Kui nodded to show that he understood.

A round orange cat followed Fang Wujiu.

Fang Wujiu signaled it to go forward.

The orange cat took a deep breath, and soon smelled a familiar scent from the cold air.

It walked forward following the scent, and Fang Wujiu followed behind at a leisurely pace.

At last they stopped in front of a grand mansion.

Fang Wujiu looked up, and there was a black lacquered plaque above the gate, with the words "Yu Mansion" written on it.

The form of Yu is rare. When Fang Wujiu saw this surname, he immediately thought of Yu Jiu.

He saw that the gate was locked, and it seemed that there was no one in the mansion.

Fang Wujiu skillfully took out a pack of dried fish and fed it to Lao Wang.

Lao Wang was rewarded as he wished, and he was very satisfied.

Fang Wujiu took it back to find Shang Kui.

Here Shang Kui has also asked the result.

Two police officers said that they had seen two foreigners appear in Lingtai County. They were a man and a woman. They claimed to be a couple, and the man was a native of Lingtai County.

It was the first time that Detective Zhang faced such a high-ranking official, and he couldn't help being very nervous.

He tried to maintain his composure and said everything he knew.

"The gentleman looks different from the man in the portrait, but the young lady looks very similar to the woman in the portrait."

Shang Kui asked, "Where are they now?"

Police officer Zhang quickly: "They have already left, they just left yesterday."

Shang Kui frowned, they were one step too late!

If their speed could be a little faster, maybe they could meet the imperial concubine here.

Fang Wujiu looked at Catcher Zhang and asked quickly.

"Is that gentleman surnamed Yu?"

Inspector Zhang was startled, and subconsciously blurted out: "How do you know?!"

Immediately he came to his senses and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, this official overstepped, and this official deserves to die."

Fang Wujiu didn't take the other party's gaffe to heart, and continued to ask.

"Can you take us to Yu's house?"

Zhang quickly nodded: "Of course."

A group of people rushed to Yu's house in a mighty manner.

The door was closed tightly, with a heavy brass lock hanging on the door.

The county magistrate hurriedly asked someone to smash the lock.

The Yu family has been deserted for a long time, and this house is just an empty house, even if the door is smashed down, no one will take care of it.

People living nearby heard the commotion and went out of their homes to watch the excitement.

Fang Wujiu prevented the county magistrate from smashing the lock.

He pulled out a hairpin from the bun, inserted the thin and long hairpin into the keyhole, and turned it lightly twice.

There was only a crisp click.

The brass lock was unlocked.

The county magistrate stood by and stared blankly.

He didn't expect the senior officials from Shengjing to have such skills!

Does it mean that if you want to enjoy yourself in the officialdom now, do you have to learn a few unorthodox crafts first? !

Fang Wujiu didn't know how much one of his small actions had affected the county magistrate. He put the hairpin back into the bun, pushed open the door, and led people in.

The inside of the house is more beautifully built than the outside, but because no one has lived in it for a long time, it looks particularly deserted.

Shang Kui immediately arranged for manpower to search the entire house.

Fang Wujiu walked to the backyard, staring at the two grapefruit trees in the yard in a daze.

There were heavy grapefruits hanging on his fingers, and some grapefruits fell to the ground and rotted because they were too ripe and no one picked them.

Uncle Jiang used to help clean it up, but now no one comes here anymore. In just the past two days, the place has become even more decadent than before.

Lao Wang's nose moved.

It walked up to a pile of grapefruit peels and meowed twice.

Fang Wujiu was attracted by its cry.

When he saw the pile of pomelo peels, he immediately guessed that they should be peeled off by Xixi eating grapefruit.

She has always been like this, no matter where she goes, she has to fill her stomach first.

At this moment, Shang Kui walked over quickly.

"Doctor Fang, we found a note under the pillow in a guest room."

He handed the note to Fang Wujiu.

A few lines were written on thin paper.

Looking at the scribbled handwriting like a ghostly talisman, Fang Wujiu knew that it must have been written by Xixi.

Her handwriting has always been arbitrary, and sometimes the words she writes can't even be understood by herself, and the success rate of others trying to imitate her handwriting is basically zero.

It was because Shang Kui couldn't understand what was written on the paper that he rushed to find Fang Wujiu, wanting to see if he could recognize these words?

It turned out that Fang Laogou really deserved to be Fang Laogou. Even in the face of a bunch of ghost symbols, he still recognized the content on the paper.

Fang Wujiu: "This is a note left by the imperial concubine. She confessed two things. The first is that she is safe for the time being, so we don't have to worry about it. The second is that there are a group of people from the Western Regions hidden in Lingtai County. The court should be more vigilant." .”

Shang Kui frowned: "Why are there people from the Western Regions in Lingtai County?"

Over the years, Dasheng and the Western Regions have been in close contact. Every year, the Western Region Missions will send tributes to the Emperor of Dasheng. As a reward, the Emperor of Dasheng will allow the Hu people to exchange business with Dasheng.

In a prosperous place like Shengjing, you can often see barbarian caravans selling and purchasing goods.

Everyone is already familiar with this.

But in a little-known place like Lingtai County, how could there be barbarians from the Western Regions?

Fang Wujiu asked the county magistrate to come over.

He consulted the county magistrate about the Hu people in the Western Regions.

However, the county magistrate asked three questions.

In the cold weather, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Please forgive me, my lords. I took office in Lingtai County three years ago. In these three years, I have never seen a barbarian from the Western Regions. The barbarian looks so distinctive. If the official I’ll definitely remember it if I see it!”
