Lin Xiangyu seemed to take a breath: "How can that big family stand this kind of thing, if you report to the official, how can you save face." The lady suddenly fell ill and died, and it was said that it was a terrible contagion, so that as soon as the person died, she was burned. ”

As for the real cause of this lady's death, Feng Ge, who was in the palace, naturally knew it, and she quietly waited for Lin Xiangyu to continue.

After the lady died, the concubine was straightened, and a few days later, the concubine suddenly died, and the son she gave birth to disappeared along with the son born to the eldest lady. On the anniversary of the eldest lady, there were suddenly two more urns in front of her grave, one with the concubine's favorite jewelry, and the other with the child's longevity lock. ”

Lin Xiangyu didn't speak for a long time, and Feng Ge asked again, "Then what?"

Of course, the head of the family searched everywhere for the eldest son who had disappeared, but he never found him. Lin Xiangyu seemed to sigh, "If the concubine and her son were killed by the eldest son, do you think the eldest son has also gone too far?"

Feng Ge pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I think that the eldest lady was framed by the concubine, and as for the servant who disappeared, he was either bought, or he was also framed for fornicating with the master's mother, and he was also killed." The lady died of illness, but I am afraid that she was also lynched by the family. ”

"It must be painful to see my mother die in front of me, but I still feel that the son of that concubine is innocent, and you shouldn't let go of even the little ones. Linzhi County ...... If this case has not passed the retrospective period, you should turn yourself in. ”

"Ahhh???h

Feng Ge was taken aback by his fierce reaction: "Those palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, when they talk about their own affairs, in order to avoid suspicion, they all pretend to be my fellow villagers, my relatives, my friends, and I have heard of ...... In fact, they are talking about their own affairs, are they ...... Isn't this your own background?"

"Of course not!" Lin Xiangyu couldn't cry or laugh, he turned his head to Feng Ge as he walked, and said, "Where do you see me looking like I can kill people with my hot hands......?"

"Then you made up the story of this big family?" Feng Ge didn't believe that he could make up such a story vividly, and still looked at him suspiciously, "I heard that after killing someone, some people's psychology has changed, and they have become timid like a mouse. ”

"Where am I as timid as a mouse!" Lin Xiangyu couldn't help but scream when he heard Feng Ge's words, but found that Guan Linsen, who was standing behind Feng Ge, had a handsome face and a pair of eyes looking at him coldly, like a sharp blade waiting to be unsheathed, always killing those who dared to be disrespectful to the eldest princess.

Lin Xiangyu suddenly smiled all over his face: "Oh, isn't that because His Royal Highness Fengyi is extraordinary, and Miss Jin Huang is imposing...... Ouch ......"

I didn't notice it for a while, and tripped over something that suddenly appeared under my feet, and there was no fall at that time, in order to stabilize his body, he staggered forward and rushed a few steps, and in the end, he still didn't stabilize, and the whole person was in the shape of a "big" character, and he threw himself on the ground.

"Are you alright? Feng Ge was stunned by his series of movements and the last earth-shattering pounce.

The torch was thrown in front, hit something, bounced off and fell to the ground.

Feng Ge stepped forward, Lin Xiangyu thought that she was here to help her, and was thinking about what words to say to thank Dade, but she ignored his gaze for help, squatted down, picked up the torch, and continued to walk forward.

Guan Linsen didn't squint, and followed Feng Ge closely.

Lin Xiangyu had no choice but to stand up resignedly, patting the ash on his pants, Feng Ge pointed to the pile of rubbles in front of him and said, "It turns out that this place is blocked, she has been here, picked up the stones, and climbed over." ”

"What a persistent person. Lin Xiangyu shook his head helplessly, "If this road leads directly to the East China Sea, will she also go all the way to the beach before she will turn back." ”

"She's really done it. Feng Ge picked up her skirt and prepared to climb up the pile of rocks.

Guan Linsen stepped forward: "Your Highness, please get out of the way." ”

Feng Ge took a few steps back as he said, Guan Linsen waved his hands a few times, only to see the rocks rolling down, and the small hole, which was originally only enough for one person to climb through, became able for people to bend down and drill through, although it was still very cramped, but it was better than crawling over without any image.

Wait, isn't the job of the secret guard just to save lives, when will it be okay to open the way and build bridges?

Of course, now is not the time to ask this, Guan Linsen took the lead in drilling through the stone cave, Feng Ge followed, and saw Guan Linsen facing her, stretching out his hand, she didn't know why, she came down from the stone slope made of rocks by herself, and didn't notice a trace of loss in Guan Linsen's eyes.

When Lin Xiangyu came over, his clothes were hooked, and he didn't stand firm under his feet, and he was about to fall down screaming, but it happened that Guan Linsen's hand hadn't been withdrawn, so he helped him.

Lin Xiangyu was grateful to Dade: "Thank you so much for this big brother of the guard." ”

Feng Ge, who witnessed everything, was very confused: "Not only do you open roads and build bridges, but also help people?"

Although the Secret Guard Manual is not thin, Feng Ge has always felt that he has never forgotten it, as if he has never read it, and he really wants to read it again.

Lin Xiangyu decided to continue to emphasize his innocence: "This story, I heard it when I was the master bookkeeper. ”

"Where did you make the main book?" Feng Ge had never heard of such a tragic incident anywhere, and thought that after returning to the palace, he might be able to transfer to this case file to take a look.

"It's here. Guan Linsen, who opened the way in front, spit out two words.

But there is obviously a dead end ahead, a semicircular wall made of bricks, is there a mechanism?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xiangyu couldn't help himself, he didn't have time to learn in the tomb of King Han, and he must not miss the opportunity this time.

"There is a ......" The second half of Lin Xiangyu's words were stuck in his throat, and Feng Ge was also very embarrassed.

The two of them looked up in unison.

The sky is full of stars.

The perspective of the frog at the bottom of the well, it turns out to be like this, and it must be written in today's experience log. Feng Ge had such a thought in his mind, and he immediately waved it away.

Guan Linsen had jumped out of the wellhead after several vertical jumps, a thick hemp rope hung down, and the tail was firmly knotted, Feng Ge pulled it a few times, but it didn't disperse, Lin Xiangyu touched his chin: "This means that we are hanged?"

"You and Jin Huang are really a natural pair. Feng Ge smiled and shook her head, one foot in the rope loop, both hands tightly grasped the rope, when she was ready, the rope slowly went up, she tapped the wall with her foot from time to time, so as not to rub the whole person against the wall.

After Feng Ge disappeared at the mouth of the well, Lin Xiangyu stretched his neck and looked up, waiting for the rope ring to come down, but when his neck hurt, he didn't wait.

This is...... Abandoned?

He squatted on the ground and hummed a song in a low voice: "Girl, you are like a flower, and everyone praises you for your beautiful eyes...... You led me to the bottom of the well, cut the rope and walked away......"

"What are you singing...... Feng Ge's face suddenly appeared at the mouth of the well, startling him, and then the rope loop was thrown down along with another rope.

Feng Ge said loudly: "He said, pulling you up is beyond his job duty, let you come up by yourself." I can't pull you, so I go around a tree, that, come on. ”

Looking at the rope in his hand, Lin Xiangyu had an epiphany, he had to resign himself to stepping on the rope ring, while pulling the rope desperately.

There were a lot of thoughts in my head:

"The fixed pulley of the rope around the tree cannot reduce the force required to pull up an object, if the pulley is fixed, but it can move, it should be able to save some force, can it be three or fifty percent, or more?

Eventually, when he climbed up from the bottom of the well, all the thoughts in his mind converged into one sentence: "I knew I wouldn't eat at night." ”

Outside the well, there is a village.

In the village under the starlight, there was no movement, could it be that they were all asleep? Feng Ge took a few steps forward, but found that the seemingly intact house had actually collapsed, and only a wall in front of it had collapsed, and the withered branches were like ghosts dancing beside the collapsed house.

The stone grinding disc at the entrance of the village was still quietly placed there, as if waiting for someone to pour beans or wheat into it, and let it squeak and turn again, Feng Ge took a closer look, and saw that a small weed grew in the middle of the stone grinding disc, swaying in the wind, quite complacent.

It seems that it has been uninhabited for a long time.

Feng Ge turned his head and asked Lin Xiangyu, "What kind of place is this?"

Lin Xiangyu frowned: "This place is in the northwest of Feng County, more than ten miles away from the city gate. I've never heard of a village in this area before. ”

"As the magistrate of Feng County, but you don't know that there are villages here, isn't it a dereliction of duty?"

Feng Ge knows the importance of population to the country, a village has existed silently, and it has been vacated silently, but the county magistrate doesn't know anything, she has to suspect that Lin Xiangyu is incompetent.

Lin Xiangyu shouted that he was wronged: "Now we are on the border with the Xia Kingdom, who may have opened this village, maybe they were originally the people of the Xia Kingdom, and later moved back to their country because our country got this area?"

That does sound like a bit of a point.

Feng Ge suddenly remembered: "After drilling underground for so long, how can you still figure out the direction?"

Could it be that Lin Xiangyu is not incompetent, but a genius? Has a pigeon-like super powerful human positioning system?

Lin Xiangyu took out a small compass from his sleeve pocket: "This is my self-made compass, even in a place like Cishan, it can measure the southeast, northwest, and north!"

He looked proud, but Feng Ge continued to walk forward with a complicated expression.

It turns out that there is not magic power, but technology.

Well, it's a person who wants to enter the Ministry of Engineering, maybe he's just not good at exams. Go back, or ask your father to give him a chance.

Further down the village, some of the houses are relatively well preserved.

Although this is a mountain village, it is much stronger than the Dabao Erbao family that Feng Ge encountered, the house system is very regular, one building after another, and the rooms in each house are similar in size and pattern, which makes Feng Ge can't help but think of the place where the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace live.

There are also daily necessities such as dishes and chopsticks and jugs in the house, which are also very neat, and after walking down more than a dozen rooms, Feng Ge even found that the handle of the jug is facing in the same direction.

"This is not a place where ordinary people live. Feng Ge said, "It's like a military camp." ”

"Yes, indeed. Guan Linsen stood in a wide rectangular clearing, which was very large, and it was almost time for the royal martial arts arena. Visually, it can accommodate more than 500 people to practice martial arts here.

Feng Ge found that there was indeed a collapsed wooden platform on the side, and there was a wooden stick on the high platform, which must have been a flagpole.

It's just that I don't know whose flag is flying on this high platform.

Since Feng Ge listened to the government in the last dynasty, the world has always been very peaceful, and all countries are busy with trade, trying to make a fortune for everyone, and he has not moved the army for many years, therefore, among the six Shangshu, Feng Ruici, the Shangshu of the Military Department, is almost a character who comes out to play soy sauce, and Feng Ge can't even remember what his face looks like.

The most impressive is still the head of the household book, Du Feiyang.

Mr. Du really deserves his name, and he scares the air.

There are too many redundant personnel in the Ministry of Suspicion, layoffs that should be laid off, and salary cuts that should be reduced.

I think the Ministry of Industry spends too much money, and every year the river and lake embankments have to be repaired, can't you think of a way to do it once and for all, what's the use of tossing those strange tricks every day, can't you design a house that never needs to be repaired?

I think the national gift selected by the Ministry of Rites is too expensive, Dongning is richer than Daheng, and they can't look down on what to send, so it is better to send goose feathers, and then write a pair of words to them: Etiquette is light and affectionate. Beiyan is poorer than Daheng, and it is a grassland tribe, so it is better for us to send straw to them for the winter. The craftsmen in Daxia, they can't use silk to send them, and they don't understand how to send antiques, so it's better for Your Majesty to write a piece and give it to them.

There are too many prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department, why don't you kill those scum quickly. Although the quality of the prison rice is not very good, three steamed buns a day per person are several hundred taels of silver a year.

Mr. Du didn't even let go of His Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty, the ancients said that it is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo, bamboo has been planted near the imperial study and the dormitory, why do you have to eat this meat in the palace every month?

The Imperial History Terrace of the Daheng Dynasty has always been known for being unforgiving, but in front of Lord Du, they can really only give in obediently. It's not that no one wants to trouble Mr. Du, but Mr. Du has been an official for many years, and he sits up straight, all expenses and income are well documented, and he has not even been greedy for a copper coin.

Except for the gifts given by the emperor on New Year's Day, he didn't even accept things from his brothers and sisters at home.

Of course, this is not the point, and there is no word for the so-called sin of desire.

The point is that this Du boss gave birth to a daughter Du Xiaoyan, and Du Xiaoyan is a close friend of the current queen. Now that Du Guifei has nothing to do, and she has no intention of competing for favor, it seems that she is more interested in the queen than in the emperor.

Moreover, he also gave birth to a son, Du Shuyan, Feng Ge's companion when he was studying in Taixue, he seems to be a Wen Tun scholar, but he has had a lot of ghost ideas in private, and now he has made a marriage with Mo Li, the daughter of the king of Zhennan, who holds the command of the southern border naval army.

Not to mention the uncles and brothers of the entire Du family, as well as the maiden forces of the daughters-in-law who have married, the Du family, who provokes it.

Thinking of the old man Du who stood in the court and fought with the ministers and had a straight beard, Feng Ge couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, I heard Guan Linsen say, "Someone is injured here." “

He crouched on the ground and looked at something carefully.

On the ground, there was a pool of dark color falling on the blades of grass, and Guan Linsen's fingers picked up some: "Fresh human blood, this smell, there is still some medicine in the blood." ”

Who was hurt? Could it be Jin Huang? Who was drugged? Who did it?
