Chapter 404

Hearing this, Liu Donghai couldn't help laughing: "seeing that the sheriff is so happy and gives happy money to the whole city, I guess your Sheriff must have married a happy husband. Isn't she the son of an adult in the capital?"

This was originally a joke, but no one took it seriously, but the guy was even more proud when he heard it. He looked like he was proud and leaned over and said mysteriously: "I'm small. Tell some guests, don't tell me. My cousin is on duty in the sheriff's house. He told me that the sheriff's lady is going to marry. But it's amazing. He's the five princes of his majesty!"

"What, the fifth prince?" Now, even Luo qingluan thought he had heard wrong.

Is it true that the princess of Jiangbei County wants to marry Nangong Chen, the fifth prince?

Look at the eyes of everyone, The man immediately said: "It's true. How dare you cheat a few guests? My cousin told me personally. It's absolutely true. Guests, how could the sheriff be so happy and give so much wedding money to everyone if she wasn't going to marry the fifth prince? Even ordinary officials or rich businessmen wouldn't be willing to spend thousands of taels of silver casually? It's only Only the royal family can have this style. I guess privately that I'm afraid the dowry given by the fifth prince to the sheriff is called much. "

Looking at what the waiter said, I'm afraid there's no reason for it. Originally, Luo qingluan and his family just went ashore for a meal, and then took a break and were ready to continue on their way. The next time they heard about this, they were more or less curious and suspicious.

Recently, Luo qingluan has been in Dongwan. He doesn't know and has no interest in caring about nangongchen, a scum man. But now she actually heard that Nangong Chen was going to marry the daughter of Jiangbei sheriff. She couldn't help but wonder and thought a little more.

Her sister Luo Qingshuang has only been dead for half a year. Nangong Chen is going to remarry so soon. It's normal for such a ruthless and lecherous person like him. However, the sheriff married his daughter, but it's so well known. Is it really just to show off?

Frowned, Luo qingluan said: "but, little second brother, we heard that something happened in the capital some time ago? Your Majesty was also anxious and fell ill, but the sheriff dared to do such a big wedding, so he was not afraid..."

"My guest, I don't know. Something happened in the capital some time ago. Hasn't it been solved?"

When the man saw Luo qingluan and they didn't know, he got silver again, The explanation now is more vigorous: "The king of Chu has retreated for 60 miles. Although he is still besieging the capital, what does this have to do with our people? Everyone knows that the king of Chu is loyal and dedicated to his country. If he leads the troops to besiege the city again, he will only have some misunderstanding with his majesty and will not hurt our people. It is said that the Lord of Chu has reconciled with his majesty a while ago. Your majesty is very happy, I'll be well. Otherwise, how dare the fifth prince get married at this time? "

"Even your majesty knows about it?" Chen Dong looked at the man.

"This..." the man smiled with embarrassment. "When the guest asked this, he didn't dare to talk nonsense. But his majesty is his majesty. He is wise and wise. The fifth prince wants to marry the princess as the imperial concubine. Your majesty may not know? The guest said yes?"

The more I heard it, the more I felt strange. All kinds of things didn't make sense. Luo qingluan and others asked a few more questions. The guy couldn't say anything at all. He just blew a breath. I don't know how many of them were his guesses and fantasies. His natural foolish opinions were not believed.

As a result, I couldn't hear it for a long time. However, the man was full of rumors, rumors and possibilities. Luo qingluan simply let the man out. Closing the door, several people guessed the authenticity of the matter while eating.

"What if the fifth Prince really wants to marry the princess?" Xu Lian didn't care too much: "as long as there is no conflict with our affairs, no matter when he gets married or when he gets married, what miss is worried about now is to find out the situation of the Lord as soon as possible, and she doesn't have so much time to pay attention to other things."

That's what I said. Now Luo qingluan is at most curious. No matter who Nangong Chen wants to marry, it has nothing to do with her.

Although Luo qingluan was somewhat suspicious, Nangong Yu said that the emperor of Western Chu was ill in bed not long ago. What he said was very serious. He almost died. How did he recover so soon? Even if Nalan night really retreats 60 miles away, he won't recover and celebrate the whole country?

And there's something strange about it. The shop clerk doesn't know, but Luo qingluan knows it best. Although Nalan night's injury didn't spread, it did happen, and even she didn't know Nalan night's current situation, whether it was life or death, which was what worried Luo qingluan most.

"I think so. Now we should quickly find out the situation of the prince and have no time to take care of the princess's marriage." Xu Wei nodded in a deep voice.

"If at ordinary times, according to Nangong Chen's extravagance, I want to make a good mess. But now, our own affairs are important. Even if Nangong Chen really marries Zheng Fei regardless of state affairs, since he is not afraid of the blame of the Western Chu emperor, we don't care."

After thinking for a while, Luo qingluan said positively, "we'd better hurry to eat and rest for a while."

They were already hungry, and now they ate faster.

I have to say that the food in this restaurant is good, the price is not expensive and delicious. Luo qingluan is used to eating delicacies and seafood, and they all ate an extra bowl of rice. Xu Wei and Chen Dong swept all the soup and vegetables directly, so they wiped their mouths with satisfaction.

A meal of eight dishes only cost three Liang silver. It's not expensive. After paying the bill, Luo qingluan and others rested for half an hour and left the restaurant.

Liu Donghai is used to escorting people all year round. Although he escorts Luo qingluan back this time, he naturally wants to show his loyalty. At that moment, he was ready to buy two carriages or rent them. They agreed to meet at the gate, but before Luo qingluan and Xu Lian reached the gate, they saw a group of people around the place where the notice was posted.

Thinking that there was a wanted warrant for a bandit, Xu Lian glanced at it at random and read it aloud: "from now on, all commercial goods, escorts, merchant ships, carriages, etc. are allowed in and out. Strictly prevent all kinds of petty thieves, and the government guard will send five more rounds from three rounds a day..."

"Miss, what does the notice say? It seems very complicated." Xu Lian couldn't understand it and asked aloud.

However, Luo qingluan and Chen Dong's faces have sunk. Just the words "Xu Jin is not allowed to go out" written on the notice are enough to make them feel the seriousness of the matter.

Chen Dong nodded to Luo qingluan, squeezed directly into the crowd, looked at it carefully for a while, asked someone for information, and then came back. In a deep voice, "Miss, I'm afraid we can't go."

"What, are you leaving? What happened?" Xu Lian pointed to the notice on the wall, "isn't it just a notice? What does the sheriff do to eat, and unexpectedly let everyone not go out of the city? How is it possible?"

Chen Dong shook his head. When they found a quiet place, he said, "it's not that everyone is not allowed to leave the city. The notice only says that escorts, vehicles and ships are not allowed to leave Jiangbei County, but if individuals leave the city, they will not be affected. After all, not everyone lives in the city, and many people live in the suburbs, such as farmers and tenants."

Not only Xu Lian, but also Xu Wei did not think of the key: "since we can go out of the city, why does Mr. Chen say we can't go? It's a big deal to let chief escort Liu return the carriage..."

"We can walk. Can you let Miss walk like us?" Chen Dong said in a deep voice. Xu Wei suddenly reacted and stopped making a sound.

Luo qingluan also shook his head: "it's not that I can't walk. It's nothing. The key is that if I walk, I'm afraid I'll waste seven or eight days in the capital. When I get to the capital, I'm afraid things don't know how to change."

This is also a problem that Chen Dong took into account at once. It's not that he can't, but that he can't.

"Miss, I asked the government soldiers who posted the notice and said that it was because the sheriff was married. In order to prevent a small disturbance and be afraid of stealing the bride price and dowry, I strictly prevented everyone from going out of the city. It was not until half a month later that everything returned to normal."

"How is that possible? Do you want us to wait here for half a month? The cauliflower is cold." Xu Lian's eyes widened.

Luo qingluan thought silently. She thought something was wrong. Now the more she thought about it, the more wrong it was.

If the sheriff is worried about making trouble by Jianghu thieves, he should send more patrols instead of using his rights to affect the lives of the people. The prefect gave fifty Wen to each household of the whole city. Although it can be said that it was to celebrate auspiciousness, on the other hand, wasn't it showing off?

Isn't this more to attract those who have a heart to steal? He's going to be the fifth Prince's imperial concubine soon, with plenty of property and scenery? Isn't this trying to cover up?

Or, the Sheriff has long been preparing to seal the city, just blocking the people's mouth with these 50 small profits? Now that you've benefited, don't make trouble!

"What shall I do, miss?" Xu Wei asked, and the others stared at Luo qingluan.

Since there was no carriage, Luo qingluan did not insist. When Liu Donghai came back, he explained the situation and asked him to return the carriage. Several people immediately returned to the wharf. Who knows, the merchant ship that just unloaded the goods has been requisitioned. Several guys told Luo qingluan that not long after they left, people from the sheriff's office came to register all the merchant ships around. The foreign cargo ship was rented directly with 50 liang of silver, which can't be refused by them at all.

Now, everyone noticed something was wrong.

Even the cargo ship was forcibly requisitioned. What did the Sheriff of Jiangbei County do to get married for his daughter? Is it the drunken man's intention not in wine?

Since they couldn't leave, Luo qingluan and others simply found an inn to stay, and then Chen Dong went out to inquire about the branch of the dark night hall here. Since they don't understand what's going on, people who don't believe in the dark night hall can't find out.
