The guard was stunned for a moment before his body trembled. "Your subordinate saw that the refugees were very warm to Young Master Li and that Young Master Li also knew martial arts, so I didn't ask anyone to accompany me."
"Prepare the horses."
Zuo Linyi's voice was slightly cold. This was Yue City, and she was already being watched.
"En!" The guard quickly answered and immediately found a horse. Zuo Linyi jumped on his horse and whipped it as he gave chase.
The village wasn't far from here. When Zuo Linyi arrived, he immediately dismounted.
When the crowd saw that it was Zuo Linyi who had arrived, they all felt flattered and knelt down in joy, "We pay our respects to the Ninth Prince."
Zuo Linyi lightly breathed and held his chest. He hurriedly took a few steps forward, "No need." And the people who came with you? "
When Zuo Linyi spoke, everyone carefully thought about it and understood what Zuo Linyi said. They opened up a path.
The crowd dispersed, and Song Qingyu, with his acupuncture bag in hand and Nannan by his side, followed behind a group of refugees. Seeing Zuo Linyi, it was especially strange. Wasn't he very disdainful?
Song Qing Yu looked at him and saw that he was clutching his chest. He seemed to have thought of something and walked up and asked nervously, "What's wrong with your body?"
"Who allowed you to leave this prince's side without permission? Didn't this prince just say that you can't be too far away from me? "
Song Qingyu stared blankly for a moment before grabbing his wrist. His meridians were unstable, and the poison had a backlash effect. Song Qing Yu thought that it was probably because he had used his powers previously. She couldn't help but shake her head. Even if she had to break the grain bag, she would do it by informing her in advance.
Zuo Linyi was already used to acting alone, but his habits were really bad. It was as bad as his current temper.
Song Qingyu did not know how he had offended him.
"No matter what, I will open up a few pills for you to take to recuperate." Song Qingyu emphasized his tone as he let go of his hand.
Zuo Linyi gave her a glance and tossed his sleeves in anger. He walked straight into the temporary shelter and sat down. "This prince doesn't eat medicine."
Song Qing and Yu saw him sitting there obediently, so they turned around to think about where to find medicine for him.
The old man at the side looked at him strangely and asked Song Qingyu quietly, "Doctor Li, this Ninth Prince seems to be high up in the sky and can actually throw a tantrum. Did the Ninth Prince misunderstand you?" You have to explain. "
Song Qingyu stopped and said, "Granny, you misunderstand. The Ninth Prince is usually like this. "He might not be stingy. Now that he's gone, he's actually proud of himself."
When the old man heard this, he immediately laughed, "So even the Ninth Prince is similar to us ordinary people. Where is Doctor Li going? "
"A few of the children here fell ill from famine. Acupuncture is useless. I'm going back to the city to find them some medicine. And also bring some gas for the ninth prince's tea. "
"Doctor Li is truly kind and kind." There used to be more kids here, but, hey... Fortunately, the ninth prince had come this time. We used to live in Pai City, and I happened to be there when the famine took place in Pai City a few decades ago. At that time, the regime was in turmoil, and the imperial government had set up a disaster relief, but we weren't put off at all. "
When Song Qingyu heard her sigh, he cast a glance at Zuo Linyi.
The world was at peace, and the people were living and working in peace. Naturally, this was a good thing.
However, the prerequisite for all of this was the need for an enlightened ruler. The current emperor seemed wise and wise, but he allowed the three great families to balance him. In his previous life, he had killed the Mu Rong family indiscriminately.
So what about Zuo Linyi?
Feeling Song Qingyu's gaze, Zuo Linyi turned his back to her. As if he was still angry.
Song Qing and Yu sighed. Zuo Linyi was too useless. If she were to leave without permission, it was unknown how angry he would become. Thinking of this, he walked forward, "Ninth Prince, if this commoner goes to buy medicinal herbs, does Ninth Prince have the time to go with me?"
When Zuo Linyi heard this, the light in his eyes wavered. Delighted, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows twitched. He slowly stood up and said with disdain, "How troublesome."
Song Qingyu chuckled, "Thank you for your hard work, Ninth Prince."
Zuo Linyi and his men returned to Yuechan City together with the refugees until nightfall.
Yue Hong came early to welcome him. "Ninth Prince, you've worked hard today. The dinner has been prepared."
Zuo Linyi waved his hand. "This matter is not urgent. Are the relief funds and account books ready?"
Yue Hong's head was covered in sweat, "This... "Something unexpected happened. For some reason, three boxes of silver …"
Zuo Linyi cut him off coldly, "When this prince arrived, the matter of the silver was checked by you guys one by one. There's no problem." Why are you all acting so secretive when this prince wants to examine you? Could it be that you have embezzled all your money? "
"This official doesn't dare, but the Ninth Prince doesn't know. Today, when we opened the chest, we actually found all the silver in it gone without a trace. Not only that, the inside of the chest is completely filled with heavy stones." "This warehouse has always been managed by Lord Sun. The fact that he admitted to embezzlement means that the money must have been taken away by him."
"So, the meaning behind Lord Yue's words is that this matter has nothing to do with you. This is Yue City. You are actually unaware of such a thing happening. Master Yue, does this prince think that you are useless now? In last fall's recruitment, the top scorer was found in Han Lin Yuan's courtyard. This prince saw that he was busy with some chores and never had a chance to express his ambitions. Master Yue, you want to give up? "
Yue Hong was shocked and quickly kneeled down.
"Ninth Prince, don't worry. I am willing to atone for my deeds and recover this silver."
"This prince can't stay here for too long. He will return to the capital in a few days. Do you think you can find it in one day? "
Yue Hong lowered his head, being stared at by Zuo Lianyi. His entire body trembled in fear. "This official … "This official, since this matter is related to Mister Sun, tonight, even if I do not sleep, I will investigate until the truth is revealed."
"No, no, no. You may have misunderstood the meaning of this prince. This prince does not care what the truth of this matter is. You only need to recover this silver and send it to the victims. As for whether it was Sun Zhong or not, that didn't matter. This prince does not like matters that are too troublesome, Master Yue, do you understand? "
"Yes." Yue Hong was curious in his heart, was the Ninth Prince not here to investigate corruption? It was all just a coincidence. According to Zuo Linyi's intentions, he would not pursue this matter and would not hand over the money to him.
If he dragged his feet, he might get annoyed instead.
In this way, he would be able to find the silver and send the Ninth Prince, this great Buddha, away. However, where could he find this five thousand taels of silver?
"What are you still standing there for? Bring this prince to meet Sun Zhong. This prince will personally interrogate him."
"Yes, yes, Ninth Prince, this way please."
Yue Hong cleared the path, bowing his body.
Zuo Linyi was in front, and Song Qingyu took half a step behind. The dungeon in Yue City was in the Prefect's yamen. They walked past the yamen and headed straight to the dungeon. The prison doors were heavily guarded. Other than the officers of Yue City, there were also guards that Zuo Linyi had brought with him.
Yue Hong led the way.
Zuo Linyi had just taken a step inside when he smelled the damp odor inside. He raised his head and saw that it was dark inside. Only a few lights were flickering, lighting up the entire cell.
Nannan followed behind Song Qingyu, carefully observing her surroundings while maintaining a distance from the other cells, "It's pitch black here. Why don't you arrange for a few more lights?"
Zuo Linyi subconsciously glanced at Song Qingyu. Song Qingyu calmly looked around, his eyes showed no fear or fear.
