Chapter 182: Discovery
"Qing'er, what's wrong? Big brother finally got out of danger, I'm so tired that I can fall asleep standing up, what's not to say when I wake up?" Yun Zijie said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the past few days, he has been constantly worried about Yun Zirui, and he really hasn't closed his eyes and slept well for a long time. Yun Wanqing herself should be more tired than them, not only did she not rest, but she was also busy taking care of Yun Zirui, why wasn't she in a hurry to take a rest first.
Yun Wanqing glared at him, and Yun Zijie immediately didn't dare to say any nonsense. The person he is most afraid of is Yun Wanqing, there is no one.
Yun Wanqing said softly, "Did you pay attention to what the eldest brother said just now, he has been very careful since he went up the mountain, why did the snow fall down on its own for no reason? We have also been to the mountain, as long as we don't make too much movement, there is no danger at all, why did the eldest brother almost die, don't you think there is anything wrong with this?"
Hearing Yun Wanqing's words, everyone fell silent. Indeed, what Yun Wanqing said was not wrong at all, they all ignored this just now, and it stands to reason that such a thing should not happen. Unless it's man-made.
"This is indeed a question, what do you think about Qing'er?" asked Situ Chenyi.
Yun Wanqing held her head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Second brother, have you offended anyone these days?"
Yun Zijie shook his head, "No, these days, we are busy helping the people here, how can we offend anyone?"
"This is very strange, if it is not for offending people, how can anyone want to kill the eldest brother? I am sure that the attack on the eldest brother is absolutely man-made. Yun Wanqing has been busy treating Yun Zirui these days, and she doesn't know the situation here, but she is sure that someone wants to hurt Yun Zirui.
Yun Zijie came over a few days later than Yun Zirui, and he was not very sure if Yun Zirui had clashed with anyone before this.
"Otherwise, I'll call Mingxi in and ask, he's been following my eldest brother all the time, and he should know more than me. Yun Zijie said.
Yun Wanqing had no opinion on this and nodded. She is no stranger to this Mingxi, and she is Yun Zirui's personal guard. That day, Mingxi was originally going to follow Yun Zirui up the mountain, but Yun Zirui was worried that Yun Zijie would not be able to do the county's affairs alone, so he ordered Mingxi to stay with Yun Zijie to help him. During this time, he was not much less worried than Yun Zijie.
"I've seen the Seventh Lady and the Sixth Prince. But after a while, Yun Zijie walked in with Mingxi.
Yun Wanqing waved her hand and said directly, "Mingxi, you came here with my eldest brother, did my eldest brother offend anyone during the time my second brother didn't arrive?"
Mingxi didn't know why Bai Yun Wanqing asked this, but he still answered honestly, "No, we were busy helping the people as soon as we got here, and everyone was too late to thank us, and we didn't offend anyone at all." ”
Yun Wanqing had already guessed that it would be such an answer, his eldest brother has always been a good gentleman, and he is very tactful, and it is absolutely impossible to offend anyone, unless you touch his bottom line.
Wait, Yun Wanqing thought of something. As soon as she came here, she always felt that something was strange, but because she had been busy saving Yun Zirui, she didn't pay attention to it, and now she suddenly remembered it again.
"Mingxi, I've been here for three or four days, why haven't I seen the county order here? Didn't the eldest brother ask him to come over and help save the people?" asked Yun Wanqing.
This is the strangest place, the county order is a county parent official, no matter how he usually treats the people, when the prime minister and son in the capital come forward to help the people, it is absolutely impossible for the county order not to appear.
After Yun Wanqing said it, Yun Zijie also found out that he had been here for so long, and he had never seen the county order. However, there is a woman who claims to be the daughter of the county order, she is very beautiful, she often comes to help, she rushes to do any work, and she is not afraid of hardship at all.
"Oh, this county made him a corrupt official, and let the eldest young master lock him up. Mingxi only remembered that there was such a thing when he heard Yun Wanqing mention this person, after all, he didn't take the county order who was afraid of death seriously at all.
Yun Wanqing sat in a different direction, clasped her hands on her feet and said, "What's going on?"
Mingxi replied, "That day, we came to this county with grain, and the eldest young master did not reveal his identity, but only said that he came from the capital, and the grain was ordered to be sent to save the lives of the people in the city. At that time, in front of us, the county decree promised to distribute it to the people so that they would not go hungry again. But we waited for a long time at the inn, and the county order did not send food to the people. We also heard the people talk that this county magistrate is a big corrupt official, and their life is not easy, but the county magistrate has never cared about their life or death, but has found all kinds of blatant ways to collect money from them. Hearing these words, the eldest young master immediately rushed directly to the backyard of the county government in a rage, and saw that the county commander was feasting on a large table of dishes with big fish and meat, which made the eldest young master even more angry, and he kicked him fiercely when he went up directly. The county commander originally scolded and wanted to resist, but after learning the identity of the eldest young master, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word. The eldest young master was busy rescuing the people, and he didn't have time to deal with the county order, but just locked him in a cell, wanting to wait for this matter to be done before disposing of him. ”
Yun Wanqing listened to Mingxi's words without saying a word, but her mind was constantly running rapidly.
This county magistrate sounds like a very timid person, and he has been locked up, is it possible that he is the one who murdered Yun Zirui?
"He is a county order, how can he have so much courage to privately swallow the grain sent by the imperial court to the people at such a time, is he not afraid that the imperial court will know about the seizure of his family and exterminate the clan?" Situ Chenyi said strangely.
"In the eyes of those corrupt officials, how do you know what fear is. They only have their own interests in their eyes, no matter what time it is, they feed themselves first. Yun Zijie said with deep hatred.
Now he thinks of the county daughter, and he is very disdainful. pretends to be a good person, but in fact she is the daughter of a corrupt official.
However, he did not find out that he had encountered many corrupt officials before, but he never looked down on their families without finding out, and there were many people who did not know what their relatives were doing. Why is he so angry with the county magistrate this time.
"Mingxi, you said that the county order has been locked up by the eldest brother, so have you sent someone to guard there?" asked Yun Wanqing. Although she only listened to Mingxi's simple words, she always felt that this county order was not simple.
Mingxi shook his head, "No, there are so many people here, we are so busy helping them every day, we can't spare anyone to come out and watch him deliberately." Even the county government only left one official and master to guard the county government every day, and everyone else came out to help. ”
Yun Wanqing frowned, there are only two people in the county office every day, and most of the officials are guarding the door of the county office, if the county order has a cell key, it is very easy to come out and do something, and it will not be suspected by others.
"Let's go to the county office now, don't alarm anyone. Yun Wanqing stood up and said.
Everyone has no opinion, if someone really wants to murder Yun Zirui, then this person must be found out as soon as possible, otherwise it is equivalent to hiding a crisis around him.
Mingxi naturally went with him, and only he knew the most about the situation in the county office.
Everyone quickly rushed to the county office, did not alarm anyone, and quietly went straight to the cell.
"How could the county order not be in the cell, it was obviously the eldest young master who personally locked him in. Mingxi looked at the empty cell and said with a surprised face.
Yun Wanqing frowned, her feeling was really right, this matter seemed to be inseparable from this county order.
But his corruption has been discovered by Yun Zirui, even if he gets rid of Yun Zirui, it will not do him any good, is it purely to vent his anger.
"Hmph, the murder of the eldest brother is really inseparable from this county order. It's a shame that the woman still pretends to be a good person, it turns out that she has ulterior motives. Yun Zijie suddenly came out with a headless sentence.
"Second brother, what are you talking about?, what woman?" Yun Wanqing asked inexplicably.
Yun Zijie said with a look of resentment, "In the past few days since my eldest brother disappeared, there was a woman who claimed to be the daughter of the county magistrate who often ran to the foot of the mountain to help, I thought she was really a good person, but now it seems that she must have deliberately diverted my attention so that her father would harm my eldest brother." ”
Yun Wanqing looked at him with disdain, "Second brother, you are usually quite smart, why do you act like a brainless person in front of me." Big brother has already had an accident, why is she running to distract you? What's the use? Are you stupid? ”
