The entire Yangzhou City was only revealed to be white, and the sky was dim, as if it was covered with a layer of frost and blurred.

"Du Zhifu." The subordinate quietly woke up Du Jiang, stood aside, and waited quietly.

Du Jiang rubbed his sleepy eyes, a little angry, "What's wrong?" What time is this? ”

"My lord, this ......" the subordinate was a little embarrassed, "my lord, there is a mysterious person outside, he brought a group of people over, and said that he wanted to see your lordship." ”

"A group of people? Do you know who it is? Du Zhifu got up and put on a piece of clothing, and frowned, "In the middle of the night, do you want to report to the official?" ”

"My lord, in my opinion, they are a caravan, saying that when they came to the vicinity of Yangzhou City, they were robbed by bandits, and now they are penniless, and they want to spend the night."

"Overnight?" Du Jiang almost laughed, "What kind of place are they?" This is the government! ”

"You...... Can't you handle this little thing? How did they come? Du Jiang pointed at his subordinates angrily, and his subordinates shivered, took two steps back, and didn't dare to look at him timidly.

"My lord, it's not that the villain won't get out of the way, but one of the leaders of them said that if you don't see him, he will make trouble here, and besides, if you delay the big thing, you can only ...... You're the only one who asks. ”

"Oh?" Du Jiang frowned, what kind of big man is it? Could it be that the imperial history sent by the capital came to investigate the matter of Jinghong Tower?

How can this be, no one will know that Siniang came to Yangzhou, unless someone is informing.

"Come with me out and see."

Du Jiang put on his shoes, hurriedly got up, trotted all the way, and arrived at the door of the prefect's mansion.

"How many people, what are you doing?" Du Jiang straightened his face, with the posture of a big man, and did not take the few people in front of him in his eyes at all.

The person in front of him was wearing a shabby cotton coat, and a layer of lily clothes was put on the outside, and at this time, the snow began to fall in Yangzhou City.

"Your Excellency, is there anything wrong, if not, the master will go in to rest." Seeing that a few people did not speak, the subordinate raised his voice again and asked again.

"Master Du, don't come unharmed?" The voice of the person who came was low, and the hoarse voice made Du Jiang tremble a little.

"You...... You are? ”

"Why, I don't even know each other anymore?" The person who came pushed away the people around him and walked out from the back.

"Master Du, you are a noble person who forgets things, bought an official from me, and then forgot to repay your kindness?"

"The subordinates don't dare, and I hope that General Dong will forgive his sins." Du Jiang made a look, including several of his subordinates, and quickly knelt down.

"Get up, and come with me inside."

Dong Yu led people into the courtyard, as if they had entered their own mansion, and the next person led the rest of the people into a guest room to rest for a while, Du Jiang followed Dong Yu's buttocks, walking cautiously.

"What's wrong? Scared to see me? Dong Yu smiled, the wrinkles and scars on his face were squeezed together, looking particularly terrifying.

This Dong Yu is a well-known smiling tiger, and Du Jiang does not dare to take it lightly.

"No, General Dong, Xiaguan...... Xia Guan was just confused for a while, but he didn't expect you to come all the way to the distance, and you were disappointed. ”

"Missing?" Dong Yu put down the ceramic teacup, and the bottom of the cup and the tray collided together to make a soft "pop" sound, and Du Jiang trembled with fright.

"What about Siniang? Did you greet her? ”

"This ......" Du Jiang rolled his eyes and thought about countermeasures, "Tell your lord, my subordinates have searched inside and out near Yangzhou City for three or four days, but I have not found any trace of this Siniang, I don't know if my lord, she really came to the jurisdiction of her subordinates as you said." ”

"Are you suspicious of me?" Dong Yu slapped the table, and even his beard trembled.

"However, what you said is reasonable, I am also worried about this, the capital has been in chaos recently, first, it is to come out to avoid the limelight, and second, it is to receive your letter."

"But you have to think about making up for it."

Dong Yu looked at Du Jiang with a scheming look, "Governor Du, do you know what the crime of hiding a fugitive is?" ”

Hiding fugitives? Where is someone hiding the fugitives, could it be that Dong Yu wants to blame himself for this incident?

"Harboring a fugitive is guilty of the same crime as the prisoner." Du Jiang stood up suddenly, not daring to slack off at all.

"It's good to know, this matter, just deal with it." Dong Yu dipped his hand in tea and slowly wrote a "six" on the table.

"You mean, Sixth Elder Brother is hiding a fugitive?" Du Jiang finally understood that this Dong Yu originally wanted to take the sixth elder brother under the knife.

"You also know that now the capital is under the control of the crown prince Qi Yuan, I think, this sixth elder brother, I'm afraid the momentum has passed, and the grasshoppers after the autumn will not be able to stumble for a few days." Dong Yu touched his beard and hesitated while thinking, "Moreover, I heard that he also sued me in front of the emperor, saying that I was stationing troops in the capital and attempting to rebel." ”

"How can I spare him? I have always been loyal, this sixth elder brother, for his own selfishness, actually deceived the emperor and slandered others, isn't it a crime of one more degree? ”

"That's what you said." Du Jiang pursed his lips, but he still looked flattering, "But there is one thing that is unclear among the subordinates, that is, what does this matter have to do with the sixth elder brother's private possession of fugitives?" ”

"Bring her in." Dong Yu yelled at the door, and after a while, the person who looked like a vendor brought a young woman into the room.

The room was instantly filled with fragrance, and Du Jiang was dumbfounded and drooled.

"My lord, ...... this?"

"Haha, she is the sixth elder brother's person." Dong Yu smiled heartily, "The matter of Jinghonglou was done by her and the sixth elder brother in a foreign cooperation, and now, not to mention whether the sixth elder brother has done it or not, but as long as she is willing, she can shake out the crimes of the sixth elder brother at any time." ”

"Moreover, I think, Qi Yuan should also be very willing to accept this gift."

Dong Yu is going to rely on the sixth elder brother to please the prince!

Du Jiang shook his head and sighed secretly, he didn't expect that the dignified sixth elder brother would lose to the hands of such a scumbag, now that the overall situation has been decided, originally Du Jiang thought that he could rely on Dong Yu to get close to the sixth elder brother, and maybe he could also get a position as a Beijing official, but now it seems that it is just wishful thinking.

"Come, Ji Xuan, tell Master Du how the sixth elder brother imprisoned you, and how Siniang cooperated with the sixth elder brother to make a mess of Jinghong Building."

Siniang, it seems that Dong Yu needs Siniang, but it's actually just a pretense, and now it's always important not to let Siniang appear.

And Dong Yu naturally has his own plans.

He had already guessed that Siniang might have nothing to do with the sixth elder brother, and the reason why he was arrested was because he splashed dirty water on Siniang in order to cover what Ji Cheng did.

Of course, all this is just Dong Yu's personal speculation, and his purpose is the same as that of the sixth elder brother, and now is to see who can find the so-called Siniang first.

This time, it was Dong Yu who miscalculated.
