By the time Xiaoli and the others arrived at the An Zhou pier, half a month had already passed.
From An Prefecture to Lingzhou, the passage was faster than water. Thus, they decided to go to An Prefecture and hire a carriage to head to Lingzhou.
However, they didn't expect to be stopped by the soldiers the moment they reached the shore.
Xiaoli helplessly took out a guide from her bag and handed it over.
Unexpectedly, the moment the Grand Master saw them, he immediately ordered his men to surround them.
Xiaoli frowned.
Grand Master said, "From the Prefecture? The people of Zhong Zhou, Zhouhe Prefecture? The original name was' River Mansion '. On all the household registration documents, the sealed names are all' River Mansion ', so the words you wrote here are incorrect. Your method of leading people astray is fake. "
It was a fake proof that Xiaoli invited an outstanding craftsman Hai Dongjun before they departed. That Hai Dongjun was obviously not from the Prefecture Region, so he did not notice the details on it. Even after Xiaoli had used this method to lure so many prefectures, no one had noticed anything amiss.
But now, he had been caught red-handed.
Xiaoli exhaled, faced with the Grand Master's "as expected, you are all spies" expression, after being silent for a moment, she said honestly: "Alright, we are indeed not from the heavy lands, we are from Songzhou."
The Grand Master threw up his hands. "Where is your household register?"
Xiaoli shook her head: "No account."
Liu Wei was born in the capital, so the household register was in the capital. But Xiaoli was born in the Qujiang County of Songzhou, so the household register was indeed born in Songzhou, but after two years of wandering, she had even gone to the State of Xian Yan.
Now that he had returned to Greencloud Nation, Song Zhou had already been taken over by the rebel army. Xiaoli couldn't just run over and ask them to help him out, so right now, he was just a black sheep who couldn't take out his family name.
The Grand Master was exceptionally nimble. He waved his hand and had the guards take these people away and interrogate them at the yamen.
Xiaoli did not make a sound, and told everyone not to resist, and followed them to the yamen to take a look. He first had to confirm whether the soldiers who stopped them were truly An Yue soldiers, or if An Zhou had already been captured by the rebel army.
If it was the former, he would have a way to explain. But if it was the latter, they would fight back now. During the fight, the old people and children would all be injured, so they couldn't act rashly.
When they arrived at the yamen of An Prefecture's Prefecture, they were led to the rear hall. The Master went to invite the Prefecture Overseer out. When the Prefecture Overseer saw them, he immediately asked, "Are you from Songzhou?"
Xiaoli nodded: "Yes."
"Where are you from in Songzhou?"
Xiaoli said: "Qujiang County."
"How can we prove it without an household register?"
Xiaoli asked: "Where are you from?"
The governor of An Prefecture was stunned. He looked at the young boy and ordered the bailiff, "Bring them to the prison."
Xiaoli frowned.
An Prefecture's Prefecture Overseer laughed coldly, "The situation in the south of the river is grim. Are a group of elderly, weak, women, and children wantonly travelling across the two rivers? It was strange. In the face of my question, you are just a teenager. Do ordinary children have such composure? "Both these points prove that you guys' origins are unknown, and I would rather not let things go wrong, I can only let you guys suffer, and stay in the prison for a few days, waiting for the situation to settle before I release you."
Seeing that the yamen runners had surrounded him, Xiaoli hurriedly said: "Master said that the situation in the south of the river is extremely dangerous. I wonder what is the meaning of this?
The Prefecture Overseer snorted, "I don't know whether I should believe you or not, but there is one thing I can prove. The two rivers have a large number of soldiers and horses moving about recently, and you say that you are a good citizen. When those two rivers came, have you ever seen a large number of official ships?"
Xiaoli shrugged her shoulders, "So what if we have seen it before? We are just ordinary people, once we see an official ship, we will take a detour, could it be that we have to go up and ask, where are you guys going? Why are there so many people heading in the same direction?"
Even though the Prefecture Overseer from An Prefecture had been stopped by his words, he still felt that it was not believable. This was especially so since this youth seemed to be especially steady. He felt that there was something fishy going on.
He said, "Then let's assume that this official is wrongly accusing you." As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered the bailiff to take action.
Xiaoli raised her hand to stop the bailiff, then looked at the An Zhou Prefecture and said, "Imprisoning him is fine, but this brat still wants to know, Master, where are you from?"
The Anzhou Prefecture Overseer was silent for a moment. He probably felt that it would be difficult for them to escape even if they had wings, so he honestly replied, "How about in the capital?"
Xiaoli's guess was indeed not wrong. This An Prefecture Overseer was indeed from the capital. Although he spoke in An Prefecture's dialect, her accent was very strong.
Xiaoli asked again: "You said that there are movements of troops in the two rivers, and also said that the situation in Jiangnan is unstable. That brat wants to ask, is there a change in Jiangnan?"
The Prefecture Overseer snickered, "Aren't you the one who knows best whether there will be a military mutiny or not?"
"We don't know." Xiaoli said with a straight face, "But when I came, I did discover that the patrolling guards of Songzhou, Qingzhou, Fengzhou, and the Southern Region had increased, and even the soldiers had become unfamiliar with them."
The Prefecture Overseer of An Prefecture suddenly glanced at the Grand Master. He sat up straighter, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "The Southern Prefecture and Fengzhou have also strengthened their patrolling guards?"
"Yes, we did not leave from Songzhou. We came here from the East China Sea, and originally, we wanted to return to Songzhou, but the dock at Songzhou was really strange, and the soldiers there didn't look like people from the Central Plains, but more like barbarians. They didn't come to the shore, and instead went to the Lingzhou to visit the patriarch."
The High Priestess suddenly clenched her fist and said in an excited voice, "The barbarian race indeed. The rumors are true. The four prefectures of Jiangnan have truly fallen into the enemy's hands."
An Prefecture Magistrate coughed and glared at Grand Master.
He quickly looked at Xiaoli and the others, and said with a straight face: "Even if you say this, it does not mean that you are not spies. Since ancient times, old, weak, women and children, were the ones who penetrated the enemy lines the most easily."
When Xiaoli arrived, she was completely sure that An Zhou was not attacked by the rebel army. The Palace Chief and Grand Master in front of him were both in their original clothes, thus he did not beat around the bush, and directly took out an order badge from his chest pocket and handed it over.
As the magistrate of An Prefecture looked at the token, his eyes widened.
"Zhenge Sect?"
Xiaoli looked at the girl beside him. "Girl, what am I?"
The little girl was extremely quick-witted, and said crisply: "Zhenge Sect's Young Master." After saying that, she laughed out loud.
Xiaoli shrugged her shoulders, her expression natural: "Master, since you are a citizen of the capital, I think you have your own conclusions on whether this order badge is real or fake."
