Chapter 209 Officers and soldiers search the granary

 Shen Ningning couldn't wait to open the letter.

  Lines of powerful words that penetrate the back of the paper come into view.

  [Shen Ningning, seeing each other is like meeting each other. I have arrived in Chongzhou, but I didn't expect that autumn has not yet completely entered. The pink peach on the envelope is the first flower I saw after entering the city, so I folded it down and gave it to you. ]

  Once autumn comes in the capital, the grass and trees usually wither and the flowers wither.

  As far as the eye can see, there are only golden dead leaves and deep clouds.

  Unexpectedly, Chongzhou still retains the glory of summer, leaving behind such a pink peach.

  Shen Ningning played with the peach blossoms with her little hands and looked at them again and again happily.

  She couldn't help but put her little nose up and smell it: "Sneeze!"

  The fragrance was full.

  The little guy couldn't wait to look down again.

  [The weather in Chongzhou changes slowly, but it is also moistened by the rain. The days are gradually moving towards late autumn, and the people here have returned to their normal lives. I see their smiling faces living and working in peace and contentment, but I can't help but think that this is all due to you. . ]

  Shen Ningning's fair and pink face revealed a sweet smile.

  It seems that the crisis of drought is being lifted everywhere in Cangyun Kingdom.

  My brother must have been feeling gratified as he made this inspection, right?

  Reading down the letter, Mo Lingwei shared an interesting story with her.

  [I stayed in Chongzhou for a few days and noticed an old man selling bamboo and rattan baskets. He came to sell bamboo and rattan baskets every day before dawn and left at dusk. He was an honest and honest man who didn't talk much to anyone. He would always ask questions when meeting people. Just smile and nod. ]

  [Later I found out that he was always bullied. I heard that the lame leg was caused by being beaten in his early years, but he never reported it to the official. When I went there, the kind-hearted people encouraged him to come and tell me. Although he was worried, he waved his hands and ran away in panic, as if the prince was some kind of scourge. ]

  When Shen Ningning saw this, she couldn't help but smile knowingly. She   muttered

  , "Brother is not a bad guy."

He came here with his wife and children to put down roots, but he was afraid of being discovered where he was from. ]

  [When he was caught in front of me, before I could speak, he knelt down and begged me for mercy with tears streaming down my face. I reviewed this man's life and found out that he acted honestly. Even after his wife and son passed away, he remained honest. Although I, the prince, am not a kind person for living by handiwork, how can I punish such a person? ]

  Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes and tried to remember.

  She once heard her grandma say that Cangyun Kingdom and Northern Thailand fought several times during the reign of the late Emperor.

  It was not until thirty years ago that the old feud was settled, exchanges were established, and trade was allowed.

  However, the hatred in the hearts of the people towards the once enemy country is not so easy to eliminate.

  This is probably why the old farmer is afraid of people knowing that he is from northern Thailand.

  [Not only did I not punish him, I also asked the accompanying imperial doctor to leave a prescription for his leg and ordered people to renovate his hut for him. Before leaving, I told him that you are a person with a status certificate. Even if you were born in Beitai, you are now a member of my Cangyun country, so why should you be afraid? ]

  [At this point, I should have finished writing the letter. When I was doing this, I thought that if you were here, you would definitely praise me and say how great my brother is, so I hope you will reply to me and write more. ]

  After reading the signature, Shen Ningning fell into deep thought.

  She pursed her pink lips and murmured repeatedly: "Identity certificate..."

  Qingqi, who came to deliver the letter, cupped his hands and said, "Princess, please reply to the letter. I have to take the letter with me because of my humble position, and hurry up to catch up with His Highness the Crown Prince. ."

  Shen Ningning came to her senses, immediately lay on the carriage, and finished writing an article with the pen and paper in the basket.

  Qingqi took the paint with him. After the ink dried, he immediately stuffed it into the envelope and sealed it. After saying goodbye, he hurried away.

  Shen Ningning carefully looked at the peach blossom again and again, loving it very much.

  But she knew that the blooming period of peach blossoms was short, and when they were brought all the way from Chongzhou, no matter how fast Qingqi traveled, they still looked a little wilted.

  So the little guy put the peach blossoms into the fairyland and raised them with spiritual spring water.

  When Mo Lingwei comes back, give him a surprise.

  …     On November 15th, it rained heavily for three consecutive days in Beijing.

  The weather is extremely cold, and the shops selling cotton-padded coats and hoods in the city have long been sold out.

  In the cold rain, the puddles reflected the dark sky with dense clouds.

  Waves of iron hooves stepped into the puddle, breaking the ripples.

  Xie Mingxu, three teams of officers and soldiers, and an officer, Zhi Jinwu, stopped their horses in front of the granary.

  It was raining heavily and they were wearing raincoats.

  The leader, Zhi Jinwu, stepped forward and slapped the door. His stern urging voice, mixed with the sound of rushing rain, came into the granary: "Open the door! The government is investigating the case, open the door!"

  No one responded for a long time.

  Zhi Jinwu looked at the officers and soldiers behind him: "Who is the owner of this granary? You haven't found it yet?"

  The officers and soldiers cupped their hands and said, "Sir, the granary belongs to Princess Funing. She had already sent someone to notify her before Yi stick of incense, but The princess has not arrived yet."

  Zhi Jinwu's face suddenly showed a serious expression.

  He looked at Xie Mingxu: "What do you think, General Xie?"

  Xie Mingxu is the main official responsible for investigating the desertion case, and he should make the decision on this matter.

  Xie Mingxu's eyes darkened: "No need to wait for the princess, open the door, it's very important, I will explain it clearly to the princess later."

  Zhi Jinwu didn't want to offend Shen Ningning, what he wanted was Xie Mingxu's words. Fortunately, Xie Mingxu never protected his family. .

  He nodded, and then sternly scolded: "Kick the door!"

  Several tall officers and soldiers stepped forward, and with a wild "dong dong dong" sound, the door was kicked open.

  Three columns of officers and soldiers filed in, searching for suspicious people everywhere.

  Xie Mingxu walked into the yard and found six granaries filled with wood.

  After a while, a Nunuo voice came from the door, accompanied by panting: "I, I'm late!"

  The rain was so heavy that it was difficult for the carriage to move.

  In late spring and late spring, she held an umbrella for Shen Ningning, and the little guy held up the hem of her skirt, with fiery red fox fur around her neck, which made her face look as white as jade.

  A pair of bright eyes, dark and penetrating, with a hint of apology.

  She hurriedly walked in, and Zhi Jinwu came back to her, greeting her with a loud voice: "See you, Princess, your humble position is the City Defense Department Zhi Jinwu Gao Hu."

  Xie Mingxu said to Shen Ningning in a deep voice: "We received an anonymous report letter saying that There is a suspicious person hidden in your granary. He is suspected to be a deserter, so the warehouse needs to be opened and searched."   Shen

  Ningning met Xie Mingxu's thin eyes, and she nodded slowly: "Okay... let's search."

An officer and soldier came back to them: "Sir, General, we have searched everything and there is no one in the granary."

  Shen Ningning blinked her black eyelashes twice calmly.

  Zhi Jinwu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the little guy's expression with his peripheral vision.

  Suddenly, an officer and soldier shouted from inside: "There is a small house here!"

  Xie Mingxu's face turned dark, and he followed Zhi Jinwu and rushed in that direction at the same time.

  Shen Ningning also lifted her skirt and followed with small steps.

  The heavy rain fell like a needle, turning the small house into a siege.

  The officers and soldiers gathered at the door and pushed and pulled repeatedly, but they could not open the door.

  Zhi Jinwu stepped forward, pushed everyone away, and said coldly: "I'll come!"

  He kicked suddenly, and the door burst open.
