The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

Shortly after Xiao Xi and Yu Jiu left Lingtai County, a Yulin guard appeared in Lingtai county.

Lingtai county magistrate and a group of officials hurriedly went out to meet him.

Shang Kui dismounted, took out two portraits from his arms and handed them to the county magistrate.

"Look, have you seen the two people on the portrait?"

The portrait shows a man and a woman.

The man has a high nose and deep eyes, and his face is feminine. He looks handsome and indistinguishable between male and female.

The girl's bright eyes and bright teeth, cherry lips rising slightly, smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes, and two shallow pear vortices at the corner of her mouth, are very likable.

The county magistrate recognized at a glance that the man on the portrait was the man wanted recently. His wanted notice is still attached in Lingtai county.

As for the portrait of the woman, he felt very strange. He was sure he had not seen the woman.

But in order not to miss any clues, the county magistrate called all the people in the County Yamen and asked them to look at the portrait one by one to see who had seen the people on the portrait?

People in the county yamen say more or less.

It will take some time for everyone to go through it.

Fang Wujiu didn't want to waste his time waiting. He whispered to Shang Kui.

"I'll take Lao Wang around and come back soon."

Shang Kui nodded to show that he knew.

A round orange cat followed Fang Wujiu.

Fang Wujiu motioned it to go ahead.

The orange cat sucked hard and soon smelled a familiar fragrance from the cold air.

It followed the fragrance and followed it slowly.

At last they stopped in front of a grand house.

Fang Wujiu looked up, and a black lacquer plaque with the word "Yufu" was hung above the gate.

Yu is a rare form. Fang Wujiu immediately thought of Yu Jiu as soon as he saw the surname.

When he saw that the gate was locked, it seemed that there was no one in the house.

Fang Wujiu skillfully took out a packet of dried fish and fed it to Lao Wang.

Lao Wang was very satisfied to be rewarded as he wished.

Fang Wujiu took it back to Shang Kui.

Here, Shang Kui has also asked the results.

Two constables said they had seen two foreigners appear in Lingtai county. They were a man and a woman, claiming to be a couple. The man was also a native of Lingtai county.

Constable Zhang was very nervous when he faced such a high-ranking official for the first time.

He tried to keep calm and said everything he knew.

"The husband looks different from the man in the portrait, but the little lady looks very similar to the woman in the portrait."

Shang Kui asked, "where are they now?"

Constable Zhang: "they have left. They just left yesterday."

Shang Kui frowned. They're a little late!

If they could be a little faster, they might meet the imperial concubine here.

Fang Wujiu looked at Constable Zhang and asked.

"Isn't that gentleman surnamed Yu?"

Constable Zhang was surprised and subconsciously blurted out: "how do you know?!"

Then he reacted and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm over, I'm damned."

Fang Wujiu didn't take the other party's gaffe to heart and continued to ask.

"Can you take us to Yu's house?"

Constable Zhang nodded immediately: "of course."

The party arrived at the yuzhai in a mighty manner.

The gate was closed and hung with a heavy brass lock.

The county magistrate quickly asked someone to smash the lock.

The Yu family has long been deserted. This house is just an empty house. Even if the door is smashed, no one will take care of it.

People living nearby heard the news and went out of their homes to see the excitement.

Fang Wujiu stopped the magistrate from smashing the lock.

He pulled out a hairpin from his bun, inserted the thin hairpin into the keyhole and turned it gently twice.

Just a click.

The brass lock is open.

The county magistrate stood by and was stunned.

He didn't expect senior officials from Shengjing to have such skills!

Do you still have to learn some unorthodox skills if you want to be able to eat in officialdom now?!

Fang Wujiu didn't know how much impact his small move had on the county magistrate. He inserted the hairpin back into the bun, pushed open the door and walked in with people.

The inside of the house is more exquisite than the outside, but it is particularly deserted because it has not been inhabited for a long time.

Shang Kui immediately arranged to search the whole house.

Fang Wujiu went to the backyard and looked at the two grapefruit trees in the yard.

Heavy grapefruit hung on his fingers. Some grapefruits fell to the ground and rotted because they were so ripe that no one picked them.

Uncle Jiang used to help clean up, but now no one comes here again. Just in the past two days, it has become more decadent than before.

Lao Wang's nose moved.

It went to a pile of grapefruit skins and meowed twice.

Fang Wujiu was attracted by its cry.

When he saw the pile of grapefruit skin, he immediately guessed that it should be the skin peeled off by eating grapefruit.

She has always been like this. No matter where she goes, she has to fill her stomach first.

Just then, Shang Kui came quickly.

"Dr. Fang, we found a note under the pillow in a guest room."

He handed the note to Fang Wujiu.

A few lines were written on the thin paper.

At the sight of the ghostly scrawl, Fang Wujiu knew that it must have come from Xi Xi.

Her handwriting has always been arbitrary. Sometimes she can't understand the words she writes. The success rate of others trying to imitate her handwriting is basically zero.

Because Shang Kui couldn't understand what was written on the paper, he hurried to find Fang Wujiu to see if he could recognize these words?

The results proved that Fang Laogou was really worthy of Fang Laogou. Even in the face of a pile of ghost symbols, he still recognized the contents on the paper.

Fang Wujiu: "this is a note left by the imperial concubine. She explained two things. The first is that she is temporarily safe, so we don't have to worry. The second is that there are a group of western people in Lingtai county. The imperial court should be more careful."

Shang Kui frowned: "how can there be people from the western regions in Lingtai county?"

Over the years, the contacts between Dasheng and the western regions have been very close. Every year, the western region missions will send tribute to the emperor of Dasheng. As a reward, the emperor of Dasheng will allow the Hu people to exchange business with Dasheng.

In prosperous places like Shengjing, Hu people's caravans can often be seen selling and purchasing goods.

Everyone has taken it for granted.

But how can there be Hu people in the western regions in such an unknown place as Lingtai county?

Fang Wujiu asked someone to invite the county magistrate.

He asked the county magistrate about the Hu people in the western regions.

However, the county magistrate did not know when he asked.

In the cold weather, he was in a cold sweat.

"Please forgive me, sir. I took office in Lingtai County three years ago. In these three years, I really haven't seen the Hu people in the western regions. The Hu people look so distinctive. If I have seen them, I will remember them!"
