Chapter 1761: What Means Did They Use?
"Cangzhou City, it's starting to die!"
As soon as I heard this, I almost jumped up from my seat, but Song Huaiyi really jumped up all of a sudden, looking at the 'squire' with wide eyes: "What did you say?" β
The 'attendant' bowed his head and said: "The news that has just come back from the barracks is that people are dying in Cangzhou City. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast. β
"It's-"
Song Huaiyi's face immediately showed a hint of joy, but after the joy, it seemed that a little imperceptible worry flashed.
But the worry was only fleeting, and soon he instructed the 'attendant': "Go and call Xuan'er to wait for me in the study at once." Just go. β
"Yes."
The 'squire' hurried away.
My heart was pounding, but the expression on my face was finally controllable, and seeing Song Huaiyi turn his head to look at me, I also stood up with the armrest of the chair: "Is Song Gong going to deal with official business?" β
"I'm sorry, I'm going to miss you."
"It's okay, it's naturally a big deal that Song Gong wants to deal with."
"Lost company."
"Song Gong, please."
Song Huaiyi called his eldest son Song Mi, and when the two of them left, they glanced at Xie Feng again, obviously, he is staying here now not only to protect me, but also almost as Pei Yuanxiu's eyes and ears, with full authority to know what is happening here, naturally he also wants to call him. Song Gong said to him very politely: "Mr. Xie, too?" β
Xie Feng thought about it, so he called 'Hua' Zhu and asked her to follow me, and then left with Song Huaiyi and them.
After taking two steps, Song Huaiyi stopped again, and specially told Song Mi's wife to accompany me well, obviously still caring about my feelings, and then left.
Song Mi's wife was naturally very polite to me, but I had no way to continue to sit firmly and enjoy the Yingge Yan Dance below in this kind of politeness, and my thoughts had already been taken away by the terrifying news just now.
In Cangzhou City, people are starting to die?
If only one or two died, such a closed city would not be easily detected by the outside, and since it had reached the point where it could be reported, then there must be a lot of deaths.
I don't think about the implication and weirdness of this, but just think of the tragic things that the people in the city have experienced, which also makes my heart heavy.
How so? Obviously, the siege has been stopped in the past few days, why are people starting to die instead?
The night before, when Cui Jiancheng complained about the Song family in front of Pei Yuanxiu, he once said that the city had been besieged for so long, the population of Cangzhou City had not decreased, and the food should have been exhausted, but they did not find a large number of dead people inside, but now, they had just gone to Cui's house for a few days, and they only besieged it, but Cangzhou City began to die.
Could it be that what means did they use?
I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't inquire now, let alone who to ask, so after a while, I excused myself to be unwell and asked 'Hua' Zhu to accompany me back to the room.
However, just when I went downstairs, I saw a figure rushing in from outside the garden 'gate' in front of me, almost hitting me, Song Mi's wife was so frightened that she shouted: "Uncle! β
The man was quick, and he stopped suddenly.
When I looked closely, it was Song Xuan who had just been summoned by Song Huaiyi, he should have come from Mrs. Zhang's side, and he was in a hurry, sweating on his forehead.
The young lady of the Song family frowned: "Uncle, why are you so careless, Miss Yan is pregnant, if you hit her, you see how your father will punish you!" β
Song Xuan glanced at me and immediately said, "I'm sorry, Miss Yan, I was in too much of a hurry just now." β
"It's okay," I waved my hand, looked at the not too pleasant look on his face, and whispered: "Just now, Song Gong has asked people to go over to pass the word, and the second son should go to the study." β
"Huh?" As if he had just remembered, he nodded and said, "Why am I confused, still running this way." β
The young lady of the Song family couldn't help but reproach him: "You, you are still so 'hairy' and 'hairy', how many times has my father told your eldest brother about you, why don't you change it." β
It can be seen that the relationship between the people of the Song family is still quite harmonious, and only the sister-in-law can talk about her brother-in-law like this, and Song Xuan's own temperament, I have gotten along with him for the past few days, and I also know that he is a very personable person, but this time he didn't seem to be in a good mood, and only said: "Sister-in-law, don't talk about it." β
The young lady was snatched by him, and she was stunned for a moment.
Song Xuan was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm justβI'm not in a good mood." β
"......" The young lady's face also darkened slightly, and then said, "It's nothing." β
I stood next to me and didn't 'interject' to speak, but Song Xuan turned his head to look at me again and said, "Isn't Miss Yan here to watch the play?" Why is it that the play is over so quickly, and you are going back? β
The young lady was probably just blocked by him, and she was a little angry, but she didn't speak, so I said softly: "Well, I'm a little unwell. β
"Oh? What's going on? β
ββ¦β¦β
I was silent for a moment, but still said: "The child in my belly has been 'fluctuating' since I was pregnant. When I was in Huai'an before, because they killed the families of the common people at the entrance of the government office, they were rushed and almost caused a catastrophe, so I have always been cautious. But just-"
Before I finished my words, the young lady immediately said nervously: "Did Miss Yan hear the news in Cangzhou City, so she was sad?" β
I whispered, "Amitabha, it's all human life. β
The young lady said: "Miss Yan is really a bodhisattva. β
I only reluctantly smiled a little, then looked at Song Xuan, and said softly: "Second son, you are young, and your intention to make contributions is naturally good, but sometimes, don't rush for quick success." Siege and Battle...... That's it, if you use any poisonous scheme, it will damage the 'yin' virtue and lose the blessing. β
Song Xuan blinked and looked at me, as if thoughtful.
When the young lady heard it on the side, she was also startled: "Poison plan? What poison scheme? β
I sighed and said, "No one has died in the city for so long, and now it's only been a few days, and people are starting to die. β
The young lady hurriedly looked at Song Xuan: "Little uncle, is it really?" Daddy and your big brotherβ"
Song Xuan immediately said, "We didn't. β
The young lady breathed a sigh of relief, immediately remembered something, and lowered her voice and said, "Could it be that the Cui family did it?" β
I snorted twice and said, "It's so cruel." β
Song Xuan looked at the two of us again and said, "However, the Cui family didn't do anything. β
What the?
I looked at him in surprise, and the young lady was even more stunned: "I didn't do anything, what happened to the dead people in the city?" β
