The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Arrive in lingguang city
The trip to the city of Lingguang takes half a day. Ziyan rode a horse carriage with snowy. Sima Rui rode his own horse. Ziyan deliberately did not take yaoyao, because he knew this trip was quite dangerous. So he decided to just take xiaoqi with him. Originally mister mo did not agree to only take xiaoqi with him, but after hearing that he left together with the first prince. Mo yincheng had no other choice but to agree to it.
Xun Ai who had been locked up in darkness for two days began to show signs of depression. He begged to be removed from the crowded place. Without light and sound, it could make him give up. He reveals that his master is the owner of the black market. He never saw his face because he always wore a mask. Xun ai also added that his master had a secret military camp. And it all has to do with the black market.
If it was true what ziyan was thinking, then the person xun ai called this master was indeed intending to take away the military power of sima rui. But if it's true he has a military camp. There should not be funds to support the camp to keep running. And it's certainly not a small amount.
During the trip Ziyan kept thinking about the problem. Fund source? he had to find the source of the funds from the camp. So he can guess who the owner and mastermind behind yaner's death.
They arrived at the residence of a lingguang city investigation official. He's office and family welcomed Sima Rui's entourage. He changyi, the official who was known quite well by Sima Rui. He was an honest and generous official.
Sima Rui got off his horse, he then helped ziyan down from his carriage. The sight suddenly made the He family who welcomed flabbergasted. The first prince, known to be very cold to women, helped a woman get off the train. Who exactly is this woman?
"Welcome to the first prince. We are waiting for your arrival. We also have prepared a room for you. " Mister He glanced at ziyan." Sorry, this lady? " Hey's office didn't want to just guess. So he decided to ask.
"She's my fiance, Mo ziyan. My future wife. "
Awakened already curious family He. Madam and master He respectfully gave their regards to ziyan.
Ziyan answered their greetings politely.
"Why don't we stay at the prince's inn?" Ziyan whispered to Sima Rui as she walked inside the He residence.
"It's not safe. Because we're here to investigate. There will be a lot of distractions."
Hm... Makes sense too. Moreover, if compared to staying in an inn, it would be more comfortable to stay here. There was room, food, and waiters. Not bad.
Master and mistress He entertained the two in the living room. The waiter alternated in and out bringing tea and snacks for them.
Sima Rui did not say the reason for their arrival for the investigation. He only told the couple that he was doing a short recreation after their engagement. Actually using this excuse was very incompatible with the nature of Sima Rui. But that sounds pretty funny to Ziyan.
"Father mother. Y'all calling? " A beautiful girl came into the living room. It looks like the princess of master and mistress He.
" Li er's. This is the first prince and his fiancee, miss mo. For a while they will stay here. So you have to keep your manners. "
"Good dad. Lier understands. "
"Prince, miss mo. She is my daughter, He jia li. " Mister He introduced his daughter.
Ziyan watched jia li. She has a beautiful face, with a slim body like a girl in general. But there was something that caught Ziyan's attention. The girl's gaze while looking at sima rui. His eyes seemed to sparkle showing his interest in sima rui. It was as if he did not care about Ziyan sitting next to him.
Ziyan then noticed sima rui. This fiance is handsome. No matter where they go, they always attract attention. Instead of jealousy, ziyan is actually proud of her fiance can attract a lot of attention because of his handsome face.
Sima rui did not care about the sparkling gazes from jiali. He simply thought of him as a passer-by with no impression at all. Sima rui. His cold attitude that actually makes some women more curious about him.
After a brief conversation with the He family. Sima rui and ziyan returned to their respective rooms.
βTomorrow night we'll start the investigation. So we have no plans during the day. Do you want to go downtown? "
Ziyan felt Sima rui's idea was quite good. He could look at the situation of the city first.
" good. I don't think having a little fun before work is such a bad thing. "
Because they have reached an agreement. Sima Rui decided to return to her room.
πΊπππππππ ππππππ’π,
Ziyan enjoyed the atmosphere of lingguang city. A bustling city like the capital of shangjing. I walked all day and bought some souvenirs. Ziyan decided to rest in a teahouse.
Junyi and xiaoqi, who were in charge of escorting them, switched functions as carriers of ziyan goods. Xiaoqi might have gotten used to it, but it was different from junyi. This was his first time becoming a freight carrier and it made his pride as a bodyguard, crumbling already. But considering who gave the order of the future mistress, he could not resist.
Junyi also actually wanted to stop his master. He bought whatever the girl was holding . But what power, he was too afraid of the punishment he would receive if he interfered with their date. Junyi can only pray that her future mistress stops touching things again.
Since they were in an ordinary teahouse, there was no private place here. So ziyan ordered two regular tables and mingled with the other visitor's table. Ziyan is a good thing. At least he could listen to some of the gossip that was being talked about. Ziyan's ears were attracted by a conversation from the right of his desk.
" You know there's a missing child again. "
"What! any more? "
"Yes. It is said that they are still missing orphans. "
" Pity the fate of these children. Either they're alive or they're dead now. "
Missing child? Is there a kidnapping? Ziyan did not expect that the city of Lingguang that looked peaceful turned out to be such a case. He then glanced at Sima rui who was still enjoying his tea quietly. Didn't he hear the rumors just now?
" Prince. Didn't you hear the rumors just now? "
" Hear. "
"Then... "
Sima Rui did not understand at all the intentions of his fiancee. So he just looked at her without saying anything.
" I mean. Are you not at all curious about the incident. What is missing is your people. "
Sima rui seemed to have caught the girl's intent. He asked about his concern for his people. It was not that Sima rui did not pay attention to his people. But if he also takes care of such a small matter as well. What's the point of the county office here?
"They'll take care of it. "
"They? " Ziyan seemed to be thinking, what was the county investigating officer referring to. But didn't they say 'again'. That means it happens often. Then why has there been no response from the relevant officials. Are they involved?
Seeing ziyan was so hard thinking. A faint smile puffed up on Sima rui's lips.
"Maybe we'll find something later tonight. "
