Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.
Zhou Heng glanced at Gao Lang, he didn't think much, there were many things that the local officials knew best.
Since Gao Lang didn't say it, he didn't ask again.
"My lord, can you arrange a place for a few of us, how about we rest here for a day and are on the road?" Zhou Heng made a request.
"It's natural. ”
Gao Lang said that Zhou Heng was the minister of the Qin Mission, so he naturally wanted to arrange a place for Zhou Heng to live.
And they dwelt.
"Why did you tell Gao Lang about our purpose?" asked Zhou Heng.
"Otherwise, how can those small fish and shrimp jump out of the water by themselves, our appearance is to make the calm lake of Jingzhou boil, so that the fish and shrimp hidden below will come out by themselves. ”
Zhou Heng explained with a smile.
This is called waiting for work, there is no need to look for them one by one, I believe that someone will come over soon and take the initiative to find them, this is Zhou Heng's strategy.
"You did it on purpose?"
"Of course. ”
Zhou Heng said.
In the place arranged by Gao Lang, Zhou Heng and the others rested for a night.
When he came to the yamen the next day, Zhou Heng found that the leaders of the yamen were solemn one by one, and their eyes were a little dodgy when they saw him, as if they didn't dare to face themselves when something happened.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Heng asked.
The crowd didn't come up with an overall answer.
"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, it doesn't matter what happens to you, just tell me what happened. Zhou Heng asked the person in front of him.
The man looked at the others, and everyone lowered their heads one by one, not like they meant to speak.
"My lord, those people you brought with you yesterday were dead when we went to our cells this morning. The person in front of Zhou Heng told Zhou Heng what had happened.
All dead?
Zhou Heng was also stunned for a moment.
What's going on?
Kill people or give yourself a dismount?
"Where are the high waves?"
"Your Excellency is in the cell morgue with her pretense. The official replied tremblingly, yesterday they still swore to Zhou Heng that nothing would happen, and something happened in the past night.
They need to pay a lot of responsibility for this matter, once Zhou Heng blames it, he can't afford it.
"Take me to see it!"
Zhou Heng said.
Coming to the morgue, Zhou Heng heard Gao Lang and Qi Zuo chatting.
"Have you found out what the cause of death is?"
Gao Lang asked Qi Zuo, who frowned and shook his head, he couldn't find out what the cause of death was for a while, and it didn't look like poisoning.
"Who was on duty last night? Didn't you hear any movement?"
He didn't give an answer, Gao Lang asked the person on duty last night, and the two people on duty stepped forward, "My lord, we didn't notice any movement. ”
One replied.
"And how the hell did these people die?"
Gao Lang asked, not noticing any movement, I'm afraid that the two people in front of him didn't do a good job last night, and they must have slipped away.
"My lord, we really don't know how he died. ”
Someone said aggrievedly.
Gao Lang sighed and didn't continue to ask.
"My lord, Lord Qincha is here!" Someone reminded Gao Lang, Gao Lang turned to look at Zhou Heng, and when he saw Zhou Heng walking in, Gao Lang immediately greeted him.
"Please punish the dereliction of duty of the lower officials!"
