"Does the lord think... the reason why Fuling has gradually escaped from the control of the capital over the years is here?"

"Not only that, I'm afraid the power of the aristocratic clans are hidden behind the Fuling government."

When Lu Xun heard this, he was surprised and said, "The power of the aristocratic clans? Xiangxiao County is not worth mentioning. How could aristocratic clans come to get involved?"

Ning Nanyou glanced at him and said, "Look at what you said, what is the small county of Xiang in the border area? Fuling is located at the junction of the two countries. Although it is not a place to defend the territory, it is not an important gate. The border guards of the two countries only confront each other and never violate each other. However, it is still a place jointly managed by the Chinese and Koreans and the Great Wei, and is located in the middle of the Jiuzhou. If the envoys and merchants of various countries want to enter the country, they can only submit documents from here and only after the approval of the judge can pass.

The Jiuzhou caravans all have to rely on this. Although the officials here are messy, they are rich and rich because of frequent transactions between merchants. To some extent, they are also a Feng Shui treasure land. If you decide to take Fuling, it is equivalent to getting a wallet. It is normal for all the aristocratic families to be jealous of this."

Lu Xun nodded thoughtfully and said, "What the lord said is indeed a little reasonable, so...what family do you doubt it?"

"Who do you think the people in Fuling can be controlled so casually between the Great Wei and the Central Dynasty?"

Lu Xun's eyes stuttered slightly and said, "Is the lord suspicious... Fu Bo?"

Ning Nan's eyes calmed down, and the cold color filled his eyes: "Deng's fall, although the Fu family had Jiang Chengyi and Dou Yuelan bit each other, but His Majesty deliberately protected each other, and no one could shake Fu Bo's momentum. For many years, he had kept his low profile and avoided the edge. Now that Deng Guozhong has stopped the eyes of the court officials in front of him, what he did in secret has naturally gradually revealed over the years.

He had to consider how to protect himself. It was not just the monarch of the Chinese Dynasties who wanted to stop us from going to Jianning. When you investigated the movements of Partridge in the Great Wei, you also found that this person was also secretly connected to Fu Bo? If we escorted the coffin of Partridge to Jianning, we would inevitably not find any clues on the way and find evidence of his collusion with the Chinese Dynasties. Of course, he did not want our trip to go smoothly.

Now that Fu Chen is injured, we must delay our journey to Jianning for more than a month. This period of time is enough for Fu Bo to destroy the evidence of his secret contact with China and the North Korea. This old fox... is still so strict and cautious."

Ning Nanyou sneered, then said coldly: "Since he dares to let someone deal with Chen, I will not spare him. I will definitely double the pain he raised on A Chen."

Lu Xun frowned and responded seriously: "The lord's heart is clear. He will definitely check the people who secretly manipulate Liu Si and Su Xiao in the Fu government, and then find out his relationship with Fu, which will inevitably make Fu Bo unable to escape this crime."

Ning Nan said with a whisper, "And... these days, you will ask Liao Yuncheng to take the Jingshu stationed on the border to go first from the waterway and sneak into China and North Korea. According to the content of the letters you found in secret between Fu and the Partridge, you will go to the small county of Jianning to conduct a detailed investigation, and be sure to find the intelligence base jointly established by Fu Bo and China and North Korea."

Lu Xun hesitated: "Fuling is so dangerous. Will there be any danger if the lord sends Yuncheng out at this time?"

Ning Nanyou said, "Are there few assassinations we encountered along the way? Liao Yuncheng did not follow the whole process, and he also passed it safely? With you and Zhen Qun by my side, I don't think there will be any major problems."

Lu Xun's expression was a little suspicious, and he lowered his eyes and thought about it carefully for a moment: "Well. Since we have all arrived here, as long as the brothers are fast enough to catch the person hiding in the government, Fu Bo cannot change his plan immediately."

Ning Nanyou nodded slightly, lowered his head to agree to his statement.

It has to be said that Ning Nanyou's observation of the situation is meticulous and his guesses on the aristocratic forces behind the Fuling government are very accurate.

Within two days after the incident in the restaurant began, Lu Xun led the Jingshu guards to secretly search the entire county town, checked Su Xiao's confession and found traces of Fu's secretly controlling the Fuling official government.

Soon, he determined the official who was hiding in the dark and manipulating everything.

However, there were at least a hundred officials in Fuling's trial office and other officials. Lu Xun deleted and selected them again and finally found ten people. However, he repeatedly checked them in the last ten people, but he could no longer continue to screen them down.

In desperation, he could only report these ten people to Ning Nanyou first and ask him to find out another strategy to find the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Three days after the incident, Fu Chen finally escaped from danger and finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ning Nanyou sitting next to him with his side.

"Zhaoyuan?"

He called out, and the sleepy husband, who was drowsy on the edge of the bed, woke up immediately, turned his head to look at the couch, and saw that Fu Chen finally opened his eyes, he quickly said with concern: "Are you awake? How about you? Do you feel uncomfortable in your body?"

Fu Chen moved his body with difficulty, and felt a biting pain on his shoulder. His rosy face turned blue and white immediately when he saw it. However, he endured it and whispered: "The wound still hurts naturally, but... it's much better than before I fainted."

He grinned and forced a smile, wanting Ning Nanyou to rest assured.

The husband sitting on the edge of the bed frowned, reached out and pushed away the white cloth tied to Fu Chen's shoulder, checked it, and saw that the wound no longer had blood oozing out, then he said with peace of mind: "It seems that the injury has stopped. Do you know... you have been burning for three days in a row, and I almost thought you couldn't stand it."

Fu Chen pretended to be relaxed and said: "I haven't seen you seek justice for my father and me with your own eyes. How could you die so easily when you wash away Master Lu's grievances? No matter how seriously you are injured, you still think that you must wake up."

Ning Nanyou laughed: "Okay, don't be so coaxing my heart. Now that you open your eyes, your high fever will also fade, so I will naturally feel at ease."

Fu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, moved his cold hands, climbed over to the edge of the couch, patted Ning Nanyou's knees and said, "I've been unconscious for the past few days... Have you found out the identity of the person who is causing trouble?"

Ning Nanyou looked at him and said, "It's true that he is A Chen. Even though he is asleep, his heart is as clear as a mirror."

"How can I not be clear? The news of the mission entering Fuling was spread to everyone in the county and the people who came to the mission were the son of the Regent Huai King. This is something that everyone in the nine provinces knew. Who would come to the restaurant where we stayed without eyes to cause trouble? Of course, it was done by people who did not want the mission to go to Jianning smoothly."

Although Fu Chen's voice was weak, it was finally coherent and unobstructed. Ning Nanyou was not difficult to hear. Seeing that Fu Chen still had the strength to discuss these with him, the remaining uneasiness in his heart slightly dissolved a little.

"You are right. The person who made trouble is Su Xiao, and he is indeed sent by others. I have asked Lu Xun to investigate this matter. He is very fast and has determined the candidate for manipulation behind the scenes... But Fuling's personnel are complicated, the officialdom is even more chaotic than the capital. There are too many suspicious people. My elite guards deleted it and deleted it, and there are still ten people left... Lu Xun could no longer screen it, so he threw this problem to me."

Ning Nanyou whispered and said gently what had happened in the past three days.

Fu Chen smiled and said, "In three days, Lu Xun's speed was already very fast. The total number of officials from the Censor's Office and the major officials' offices is hundreds of. It is great that he can delete and select ten people. So... have you thought of any way to lead the real mastermind?"

Ning Nanyou raised his eyebrows: "Speaking of this, I do have an idea, and it happens to solve the problem you are thinking about. Lu Xun has prepared the medicine and just waited for an opportunity to let me do a show, making Li think she has successfully used you and me."

Fu Chen's eyes flashed and he asked in a low voice: "Do you want to... set up a grand banquet in Fuling and invite the judges' office and the people from the major government offices to come?"

"You really know me. You are indeed worthy of being with me for many years." Ning Nanyou smiled faintly.

Fu gasped and licked his dry lips: "I can't miss this banquet, but fortunately... Although my shoulder is full of penetration injuries, it will be fine after surviving the most dangerous days... I can buy this banquet with you."

After hearing this, Ning Nanyou looked serious and said, "What are you talking nonsense? What is the stool? Fu Chen, you have been weak since childhood and have never practiced martial arts. If you don't take care of the wound on your shoulders carefully, you may leave a root of the disease in the future. You love to practice calligraphy the most. Do you want to never take the wolf's hair in the future? I will solve the banquet matters by myself. I will make all arrangements according to your wishes by Li and the child in her belly, so you don't have to worry about it."

Fu Chen was stunned and asked in confusion: "If I hadn't attended the banquet, how could you make Li think that she had really deceived you?"

Ning Nanyou sighed: "Of course I have to borrow your hands, but I don't need you to attend the banquet. Li has also come to see you all these two days. As long as you are alone with her, I will reveal my plan to her and pretend to help her secretly, I can create a reason for me. As for the subsequent matters, Lu Xun has already arranged it."

Fu Chen's deep and dark eyes slightly turned and said with peace of mind: "So that's it..."

The husband was silent for a moment, and Fu Chen smiled faintly and said softly: "Zhaoyuan...thank you. Thank you for your willingness to do these for me."

Ning Nanyou was stunned for a moment, and then gently patted his palm and said, "What are you saying thank you? Have you helped me less in the past? If I were young, without you being supported by you, how could I secretly accumulate strength? Ah Chen... Everything is mutual. You are willing to do it for me, and I am willing to do it for you."

Fu Chen listened, a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
