The county government secretary put a smile on his face when he saw Lianyi. He had been busy these two days and originally didn't plan to come out to see anyone. But when he heard that it was Lianyi, for the sake of Yinzi, he did from.

"Ripple Girl wants to ask about the children?"

"Yes, not entirely. I still need to inquire about some things with the chief registrar."

Ripple said with a smile.

"Among the thirteen children, seven have been taken away by their families. They are all from villages near Huairou County. The remaining children are probably not captured by bandits nearby, so we have to wait and see, but don't worry , the children had food and drink in the county government and were not treated badly."

The chief clerk first talked about the situation of the children.

"That's good! I want to ask Mr. Qi, who came to the city with me that day, whether he has been in the county government these days?"

"He came to the county government office two days in a row, and I haven't seen him since."

"Thank you so much! Chief Secretary for your trouble!"

This time Lianyi stuffed a plain purse into the chief bookkeeper as a reward for inquiring about information.

"If Ripple Girl wants to meet Mr. Qi, she can go to Chongshan Inn."

The chief clerk squeezed his wallet and immediately gave Qi Qi's whereabouts.

"Thank you!"

As soon as Lianyi handed over his hand, he turned around and went to the Chongshan Inn mentioned by the chief clerk.

She didn't see Qi Qi when she went there, but there were his men in the inn, and Lianyi directly handed him a wooden box.

"Thanks to the Young Master for helping me, a disaster was avoided. This is our thank you gift. Please be sure to hand it over to Young Master Qi. He will know after reading it."

"good!"

The subordinate took the wooden box and it felt very light. It didn't seem like a heavy object, so he put it into his arms. He took care that he would pass it on, and then Ripple said goodbye and left.

Lianyi found the wooden box under the chair in the bandit's den. After she returned, she looked at it and found that there were some letters exchanged between the bandit leader and some merchants, as well as some letters from the big family. Some of them were written in Letters written in Mongolian characters.

After reading it, Lianyi felt that this bandit leader was not simple. After listening to what Wang Meimei said, she was even more sure that this might be a letter between Mongolia and her own country. However, she did not understand the specific content at the time, so she called for fullness. Wang Yaozu, who read poetry and books, asked him to play a role.

Wang Yaohui still had some ink in his stomach. He read four or five letters from Mongolia in succession and said that they were all about the scenic spots of Han, just his travels and experiences, nothing special.

"On the contrary, I think the things inside are very important."

"Why?"

"If it wasn't important, he wouldn't store it separately and hide it."

"There is something hidden there, we just don't know how to interpret it."

Wang Yaozu was stupid before he could read, so he reacted immediately.

"You're right! Let's not get involved in this kind of thing and leave it to professionals."

So she collected all the letters, and Wang Meimei came to see her at that time. She went to Wang Meimei's appointment first, then went to the county government office to find out where Qi Qi was, and threw the hot potato in her hand to the other party.

At that time, Lianyi didn't know that her brother was engaged in intelligence, but this did not prevent her from guessing that the other party was working for the royal family, and these letters would be more valuable if they were handed over to him.

The fact was exactly as Lianyi guessed. After Qi Qi returned to the inn from the cell, the person who stayed behind handed the wooden box into his hands.

Qi Qi's pupils shrank after reading these letters. They contained not only information about the exchanges between the bandit leaders and the Mongolian country, but also evidence of collusion with the internal forces of the Han Dynasty. Although the names used in the letters were very vague, But at least it provided them with a direction to pursue.

"Make a copy, then send the original back to the imperial city and give it to the leader."

"yes!"

"You said this was sent by Lianyi?"

"Yes, and I sent it after meeting Wang Meimei."

"Then she must have known that the bandit leader was Meng Guoxinzao and had read these letters, so she sent the things."

Qi Qi tapped her fingers on the table and said.

"should be!"

"Did you say that the things in the secret room of the bandit's den were also taken away by her?"

Qi Qi asked the people around him in a low voice.

"This wooden box is okay. I kicked it in my arms and brought it out. The secret room is not small. According to the detailed explanation, it contains gold and silver jewelry, jade antiques, cloth, silk, and rice, flour and food that they have stolen in the past two years. , if you grab a handful or two and take them away, it should be fine, but if you take them all away, it’s absolutely impossible!

Besides, we were on surveillance at the bottom of the mountain at that time, and she brought down twenty little carrot heads in one breath, without any extra cloth bags on her body. "

This man was the one who was ambushing the entrance of the canyon at that time, and he was also the one who captured the bandit leader, so he was very sure.

"I understand, you go ahead and arrange for someone to send the message."

After his men left, Qi Qi fell into deep thought. After the mother and son of "Fengqi Wutong" were brought back, they were tortured by the secret guards to extract confessions. They had already confessed that they had sold many women and children to Mongolia over the years, and had been with them. What they were trading was the Mongolian royal family, which was very interesting.

In the past two years, Mongolia has made frequent small moves, and its intentions are clear. There is only one opportunity left, but both sides are waiting.

In the past ten years, how many Han people have been sold to Mongolia? What is the purpose of needing Mongolian women and children? This requires them to continue to trace.

Qi Qi spread out the white paper, picked up a pen and started to write a letter. This letter will be sent back to the imperial city together with the things they found. Everything depends on the emperor's wishes.

His Majesty the Emperor in the Imperial City, after sending away Xiang Yi who came to see him, went directly to the Imperial Study Room, and then asked in a deep voice:

"You should keep an eye on Princess Xiangyi, let the consort spend more time with her, and stop making trouble at my place."

"Yes, I have remembered it."

"How's her face?"

The emperor asked coldly.

"It's still the same. Every four months it will crack and scab again, which makes the princess so annoyed that she doesn't want to go out during that time."

"Well, let her wounds heal more slowly, so that she won't cause trouble to me."

"Yes, I understand!"

"Those people around her have all looked for opportunities to change. Don't arouse her vigilance."

"Yes, the slave is already doing it."

Eunuch Yu lowered his head and replied.

"Go down! I'll tell you if something happens."

"Yes, slave, please resign!"

Eunuch Yu walked backward out of the imperial study, immediately found his most capable young eunuch, and ordered him to do something.

Eunuch Yu was a little puzzled. Ever since Princess Xiangyi hurt her face, although His Majesty still treated her favorably on the surface, privately he had begun to cut off the Princess's staff, reduce her power, and placed many subordinates to monitor her.

Princess Xiangyi's face could have been cured, but the emperor personally issued an order to the imperial hospital, not allowing the imperial doctors to heal Xiangyi's face, and also made her face rotten every four months, which forced Xiangyi a little. She was so crazy that she couldn't see any beautiful woman appearing in front of her.
