The situation in Yangzhou City is becoming more and more weird, Guan Lin also faintly feels that things are a little abnormal, but he can't find anything wrong, 110,000 stones of grain can be piled up into a mountain, but these grains can't be found at all, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

"Su Sima, is there still no news at all?"

Su Fanggong frowned and replied carefully, "Lord Changshi, Xia Guan has been very attentive, but he really didn't find any clues. Moreover, there seems to be no progress on Luo Dawei's side. ”

"It's strange, is it really Lu Ziying's ghost?" Guan Lin's doubts couldn't help but pop up again, otherwise the disappearance of this grain would be too strange, and it would be so strange that people can't explain it.

"The eldest prince? Lord Changshi, are you too worried, this will not benefit the Lu family at all! Su Fang felt that this Guan Lin was obviously overhearted, he could come up with many reasons, but only this Lu Ziying might not have it at all, because losing food would only be bad for him, not good, as for the fake disappearance, it would be even more ridiculous, what reason did Lu Ziying have to be so panicked, and he also knew where to store food. When Su Fang went to the warehouse a day ago, there were still mountains of grain there, but the warehouse became empty overnight, even if Lu Ziying was capable, he didn't have such a lot of energy.

"Hey, I'm just thinking about it, Su Fang, you must tell everyone, these words, you must strictly check all the suspicious people in Yangzhou City, and you must find out the whereabouts of the grain. Otherwise, it will be a big trouble, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrives in Suzhou, Lu Ziying will sue the Prince, then we will not be able to eat and leave! Guan Lin said this not because he was really afraid, but because he didn't want to make trouble, he hoped that everything could go according to his plan.

"Don't worry, Lord Changshi, the lower officials know what to do!" Su Fang said and slowly retreated outside the house, and when he just retreated to the door, Guan Lin suddenly shouted to him and said with some gloom, "Su Fang, remember, don't play tricks with me!" ”

"Master, Su Fang will definitely be loyal!" Su Fang didn't dare to think about it, and immediately launched an oath, this Guan Lin is too terrifying, as if he is guarding against others all the time.

Guan Lin is uncomfortable, and Qin Zhe is also sad, this food disappearance case is enough for his own head, and his unsuccessful son is not worry-free, and I don't know how much worry he has put into his marriage, but there has been no progress so far, but he is really sad. Qin Zhe sometimes felt that it would be good if he had another son, and then he didn't have to be so embarrassed.

Fang Yiai looked at the chessboard on the case, smiled slightly, and really didn't see that his eldest cousin was actually a stinky chess basket, but fortunately, Lu Ziying's chess skills were not good, otherwise Fang Yiai would not have played chess with him.

"Eldest prince, you pull that car back and guard the river boundary!" Just when Lu Ziying was racking her brains for the next step, Haitang took the opportunity to point, and then Lu Ziying suddenly opened her mouth, yes, as long as she guards the river boundary, will there be so many dangers?

Fang Yiai was a little dissatisfied, no matter how he said that Begonia was also on his side, why did he run over to help Lu Ziying, he glared and said angrily, "Begonia, why are you turning your elbow out?" ”

"Second son, you can't blame the slave maid, you can win early tomorrow, if you have to play the eldest son, the slave and maid can't look at it!" Begonia is not afraid, what kind of person is this second son, can she still not know?

"Brother Jun, you are too much" Listening to Haitang's words, Lu Ziying also reacted, his cousin was too shameless, Lu Ziying simply pushed the chessboard and scolded with a smile, "If you don't play, I won't play chess with you in the future." ”

"Cousin, you're not really angry, are you?" Seeing Lu Ziying's dissatisfied look, Fang Yiai said with a smile.

"Hehe, how can I be so stingy, Brother Jun, what should I do next? That Guan Lin seems to be a little suspicious of me! ”

"Cousin, what are you afraid of, if he suspects, just suspect it, as long as he can't find food without evidence, then we can't do anything!" Fang Yiai didn't expect this method to drag on for too long, but just hoped that it could cause chaos in Yangzhou officialdom.

"I'm not afraid of anything, but you, have you found something?" Lu Ziying knew how deep the water in the south of the Yangtze River was, and if things were easy, the old man would not let him come over to help Fang Yiai in person.

"There should be news soon!" Fang Yiai is waiting, and he has already told the matter of borrowing the boat today, so the Xu family will always react.

After an hour, Qin Wen finally came back, and he bowed his hand to Fang Yiai and said, "Young Master, the eldest lady of the Xu family really went to Huixinfang in Yangzhou not long after you left, but after following there, I found a strange thing!" ”

"Strange things? You name it! Fang Yiai couldn't help frowning, could it be that there was any secret in this Huixinfang?

"Young master, I don't know what's going on, there is actually a Miss Xu in Huixinfang!"

"What? And a Miss Xu? Qin Wen, are you sure you're not mistaken? Fang Yiai was very surprised, what the hell is going on, how did two Miss Xu pop up, are they twins? However, I haven't heard Feng Siliu say this at all.

"Young master, the little one heard it with his own ears, and those subordinates really shouted like this!"

"Hehe, it's interesting, it seems that we really have to meet this Miss Xu!" Fang Yiai stood up as he spoke, he walked to the board and shouted, "Prepare the horse, go to Huixinfang!" ”

"Brother Jun, be careful, don't be reckless!" Lu Ziying came out and instructed.

"Cousin, don't worry, I won't mess around!" Fang Yiai waved his hand and said, he was just trying to figure out what was going on, not to suppress the bandits.

Huixinfang is not too far from the Qinhuai River, and it took about a quarter of an hour to arrive on horseback, looking at Huixinfang in front of him, Fang Yiai had to admire, this Xu family is really worthy of being a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is such a luxurious residence in Yangzhou City. This Huixinfang has four floors, and it is very wide, if it were not for the wealth, it would not be able to build such a building.

"Qin Wen, is this here?"

"Young master, this is it, shall we go in now?" Qin Wen nodded in response.

"Hehe, you guy, we're here to visit this time, how can we be sneaky again?" After Fang Yiai finished speaking, he said to Qin Huyan, "Uncle Hu, you go and talk to the servant, and say that Lu Zihao came to visit Miss Xu!" ”

After waiting outside the building for a short time, I saw a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper coming over, he saluted Fang Yiai and said respectfully, "Please come with the little one, the eldest lady has been waiting for a long time!" ”

"Oh?" Fang Yiai smiled strangely, "What, Miss Xu knows that Lu is coming?" ”

"Hehe, yes, Miss Xu has already instructed the little Hou to wait for the second son!" Xu Que replied with a smile.

Fang Yiai was a little curious, how did Xu Hui expect him to come, but he didn't have to think about it, just wait until he saw the woman and asked.

followed Xu Jie and his party to the third floor, and after stopping in front of a room, Xu Que knocked on the door and whispered, "Miss, the second son has arrived!" ”

Then a soft voice came from the room, "Second son, please come in!" Fang Yiai couldn't help frowning, although he was not familiar with this voice, but he could be sure that the person who said this was definitely not the voice of Miss Xu during the poetry meeting at that time.

Pushing open the door, Qin Hu and the others consciously protected the door, and as for Xu Que, he didn't ask too much. Fang Yiai looked at the three women sitting around the table in the room, these three women were very beautiful, and they could be regarded as the best in the world, and the Miss Xu she had seen was also sitting there, at this time, she was glaring at him.

"Three girls, can you tell Lu what is going on, why are there two Miss Xu?" Fang Yiai asked very directly, and after asking, he smiled and found a chair and sat down.

At this time, the Miss Xu who had been in contact with her glared at the apricot eyes and blamed, "Don't talk nonsense, how can there be two Miss Xu, is this girl called Xu Xian!" ”

"What?" Fang Yiai was stunned, in this case, wouldn't he have found the wrong person at that time.

"What is your expression, when did this girl say that her name was Xu Hui, it was you who always called Miss Xu!" Xu Xian was very dissatisfied, as if he hadn't lied to him.

"But, didn't you say that Miss Xu went to the poetry meeting?" Fang Yiai is a little big, he is really a little stupid, it seems that Xu Hui has a sister, but he didn't expect it at the time, and he thought that Miss Xu was Xu Hui, who knew that there was such a big oolong.

Just when Fang Yiai was a little embarrassed, the young woman who looked a little like Xu Xian smiled faintly, "General Fang, can you talk about what is going on with the slave family now?" The slave family believes that you will not just borrow a boat, right? ”

"Huh?" Needless to say, Fang Yiai also knew that this mature and stable woman was the real Xu Hui, but what made him wonder why Xu Hui knew his identity, Fang Yiai thought about it and asked a little coldly, "Tell me, how did you find out Fang's identity?" ”

Seeing that Fang Yiai was so vigilant, Xu Hui knew that it had caused a misunderstanding, and she couldn't help frowning and explaining, "The second son must not be careful, the slave family has no malicious intentions, otherwise I wouldn't have made a special trip to wait for you to come!" After speaking, Xu Hui pointed to the woman in cuiyi who covered her mouth and chuckled next to her and said, "Second son, you have been in Chang'an for a long time, don't you know who she is?" ”

"I don't know!" Fang Yiai glanced at the girl and shook her head very simply, but she didn't know her.

"Second son, you are really strange, don't you know the second lady of the Xiao family?" Xu Hui laughed a little puzzled, what a strange guy.

"The second lady of the Xiao family?" Fang Yiai thought about it and pointed to the woman in green clothes and smiled bitterly, "You are that Xiao Mu'er?" ”

Xiao Mu'er nodded, blinked her eyes and smiled, "Second son, can't the slave family be Xiao Mu'er?" ”

Fang Yiai shook his head helplessly, now that everything is clear, no wonder Xu Hui will know his identity, with Xiao Mu'er here, can he still deceive people? However, Fang Yiai's love is also a little strange, what is Xiao Muer doing in Yangzhou at this time?

"Second son, are you wondering why the slave family came to Jiangnan? In fact, you can just ask directly, I think this ancestor of the Xu family is a matter of the important ministers of Southern Liang, you should know, right? Xiao Mu'er said with a smile as if she could see what Fang Yiai was thinking.

Fang Yiai couldn't help but admire, she is really a clever woman!
