Early the next morning, Yushi received a letter from Luo Gong, which was delivered to the yamen by the messenger of the post station. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The letter said that he had stayed at the Golden Jade Inn in Nam Loei Province.

Just finished breakfast, and before he left the county house, Liancheng came back.

Dressed in the dust, Liancheng's face was a little ugly, and it seemed that things were not going well.

Yu Shi sat down: "Didn't find it?" ”

Liancheng was disgraced: "I didn't find it, it was dealt with cleanly." ”

Yu raised her eyebrows: "Dealt with?" ”

Lian Cheng nodded: "I found out the traces that were processed, and it was also found out that Chen Zhixian secretly sent someone to deal with it after leaving Yangjia Village, but what was it dealt with, and why did he deal with it in a hurry...... The subordinates couldn't find out. ”

Dejected, with a withered expression, he really felt that he didn't have much face.

Yu Shi fell into deep thought, and said for a while:

"Mrs. Yu Keqiang's line doesn't need to be checked anymore."

Liancheng was puzzled: "My lord? ”

Yu Shi said: "Since Chen Zhixian can rush to Yangjia Village as soon as he walks the water in Yangjia Village, and then secretly deal with some traces, and clean them up in a hurry, so that the county magistrate who is not diligent in county affairs can rush to the scene of the water when the day is just dawn, and even Wang Xiancheng and Zhang Zhubo, who have always been diligent in handling the affairs of the Yamen, arrived in Yangjia Village after Chen Zhixian, and then Chen Zhixian quickly cleaned up the surroundings, what do you think is possible here?" ”

What could be possible?

Liancheng repeated it in his heart, and then thought about it carefully, and finally he was shocked:

"Chen Zhixian already knew?"

Yu Shi was silent, but his eyes were glowing with cold light.

Liancheng sighed in his heart, annoyance gradually rose from his heart, and he gritted his teeth:

"This damn dog officer!"

Chen Huiyao has always been lazy and immoral, and he is a parent official who has no popular support.

Zhusha County, a small county with a side hammer, is also a county that does not have much oil and water, and it is the master of the three poles every day, and even the plague in Yangjia Village has been troubled for a long time, and he has never gotten up half an hour early, allowing the doctors from Nanli Mansion to bury their heads in research, discussion, and development of medicines.

In addition to the necessity, Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli asked for three and four places, and he reluctantly got up early to go outside the yamen and said a few inspiring empty words to the people of Zhusha who were restless and gathered.

In addition, Chen Huiyao, the magistrate of the county, has done far less for the people than Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli, the two subordinate officials.

How could such a person be the first to know and rush to the scene of the water walk in Yangjia Village?

If you want to say that human life is a matter of heaven, it has not happened before, but how could Chen Huiyao ever care?

In his eyes, the lives of the people are no different from ants.

It's also retribution, in the eyes of the murderer, his life is probably worse than an ant.

So what makes Chen Huiyao, who has always been late and doesn't care about people's lives, be so abnormal?

But what is certain is that the water walk in Yangjia Village is really suspicious, and it must not be a simple natural and man-made disaster.

If it was Chen Huiyao's doing, then what was his purpose?

If you dare to take the risk of losing your official position and losing your head, what must be a bigger and more urgent reason?

It's like surviving for 100 days and surviving for 300 days, there's always a big difference between that.

So will Chen Huiyao make a choice between these 100 days and 300 days?

If so, what kind of 300 days made him dare to take the risk to end the 100-day choice that Qianfu refers to?

Yu picked up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Yufu again!" ”

When he arrived at Yu's mansion, after the porter reported, Yu Keqiang came out to greet him in fear, and after welcoming Yu Shi into the main hall and saluting, he stood down with his head bowed and did not dare to raise his head.

What a timid citizen.

Yu Shi was sitting on the top left, and Lian Cheng and Bing did not sit down on the bottom head, but stood on the left and right, guarding behind the Yu Shi seat.

Looking at this situation, coupled with some gossip, Yu Keqiang's heart was a little panicked, not as superficial as the last time, he was really panicked, and even his palms were slightly oozing sweat.

Yu Keqiang, who lost his composure, stood with his hands down, his head lowered, and his eyes looked at the tips of his shoes.

Suddenly remembered what Tian Daming finally told him - if the two superiors really caught your tail, don't panic, think about what you should do, and then think about what you shouldn't do.

There is no doubt that this is coercive.

He lost his favorite wife, but he still had a son and a daughter left to him by his wife.

His children are so good and envied by all, how can he not let his children be harmed in the slightest!

Yu Shi, who was always paying attention to Yu Keqiang's expression, did not miss his emotional changes, knowing that he was much calmer than at the beginning, thinking that he should have the determination to die, she couldn't help laughing:

"What? But do you think that Lord Ben has come to take your life this time? ”

Yu Keqiang said: "Lord Qianhu is serious! The small people have always been law-abiding, and the adults are wise and fair, and the small people have no worries. ”

Yu Shi said: "That's good, I came to visit again today, that is, for Mrs. Zun, and I have no other intentions." ”

Madame Venerable?

Came for his wife?

Yu Keqiang raised his eyes instantly, and looked at the jade incomprehensibly:

"Xiaomin's wife has long since died, I don't know what the adults mean?"

Yu Shi originally came to play a bright card, and he no longer beat around the bush, and said bluntly:

"Mrs. Zun was unfortunately infected with the plague and died tragically in the fire, but in the end, the plague in Yangjia Village was spreading, and it was the famous doctors of Nanli Mansion who gathered together to develop a medicine for retiring from the plague, but the plague waited for no one."

She paused, and looked at Yu Keqiang, whose face had changed greatly because she had re-mentioned the plague in Yangjia Village:

"Walking in the middle of the night, suddenly falling on the sky, this is also a solution, not to mention...... It's providential, and you don't have to be too sad. ”

The tone was steady, and he spoke lightly, as if the fire that devoured the 111 lives of the entire Yangjia Village was really providential, and in the end, there was a happy relief as if he was relieved, as if the plague was incurable, in order not to infect others and implicate the people outside Yangjia Village, this heavenly fire suddenly fell very happily.

Liancheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in his heart that this is comforting people, or is it a blow to people?

Bing Wei couldn't help but look at Yu Shi twice, only to see his indifferent eyebrows and eyes, coupled with ruthless words, no matter how he looked at it, he felt a little bit of his master's shadow.

It seems that the one who is close to ink is black, which is very reasonable.

Thinking of Luo Gong's increasingly unrestrained attitude towards Yu Shi in recent months, Bing Weisheng couldn't help but press his constantly beating eyebrows - I hope he was too worried!

The words seem to be comforting, but they are very ruthless.

Yu Keqiang has seven steals in his heart, listening to Yu Shi's stinging words, he already knows that the general trend is gone, and he will definitely not escape prison.

After closing his eyes and opening them again, Yu Keqiang had already made a decision, knelt down and begged:

"Since I can't hide it from the adults, Xiaomin doesn't want to hide it anymore, Xiaomin only asks the adults to let go of a pair of children in Xiaomin's family, they don't know about this matter, they have never participated, and I hope that the adults will open up to them!"

Yu Shi looked at Yu Keqiang, who was kneeling in front of her, for a while, and turned her face sideways to only glance at Liancheng.

Liancheng Huihui was concerned, immediately walked to the outside of the hall, and closed the door of the hall from the outside.

The afternoon sun is always bright, and it's still June, so it's unreasonably hot.

Yu Keqiang is the richest man in Zhusha County, rich and powerful, the four seasons in the house have their own responses, there is floor heating in winter, there is an ice basin in summer, and the ceiling can be seen everywhere in spring and autumn.

After the main hall was closed, the scorching light penetrated through the window lattice and landed on Keqiang's kneeling shoulder, and he looked at Yu Shi earnestly, his eyes full of pleading.

At this moment, Yushi is the king of Hades, and a word can make his children go to heaven and earth.

He was afraid, terrified.

Yu Shi said: "Get up and talk." ”

Yu Keqiang is amazing: "My lord! ”

Yu Shi understood what Yu Keqiang meant by shouting again, and said clearly:

"You reply well, you don't hide it, you have no choice but to do it!"

Yu Keqiang's tall tiger body was weak, of course he understood that he had no room to bargain with the dignified Jinyi Wei Qianhu at all, but in the past two days, not only Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli were secretly observing Luo Gong and Yushi's behavior, but he was also staring at them closely.

As far as he knows, these two superiors are not ruthless!

Isn't that the old man and grandson the best proof?

Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli did not try to find out the truth about the three magistrates being killed one after another, also because of the pressure from above, but didn't the two of them promise to protect their two families?

How did he get to him, and he couldn't do it?

Yu Keqiang said hurriedly: "My lord, Xiaomin doesn't want to protect Xiaomin's life, Xiaomin begs the adult to protect Xiaomin's children, and the adult can agree to the family of Baowang County Cheng and Zhang Zhubo, why can't you agree to Xiaomin?" ”

Yu Shi narrowed her eyes.

Yu Keqiang hurriedly added: "Xiaomin has tens of thousands of family wealth, as long as the adults are willing to protect Xiaomin's children, Xiaomin is willing to scatter all his family wealth!" ”

Yu Shi's beautiful eyes didn't squint anymore, and a look of smiling appeared on her face:

"Are you bribing Ben Qianhu?"

Hearing this, and looking at Yu Shi's vague and uncertain expression, Yu Keqiang's heart was cold.

He stiffened his tall tiger body, and despair slowly appeared in his eyes.

Yu Shi asked: "You have checked Wang Xiancheng and Zhang Zhubo, and you have stared at every move in the yamen, so do you know that he has followed you to many places?" ”

She pointed to Bingwei beside her.

Yu Keqiang turned his neck with difficulty, and his eyes widened with a double blow.

Looking at this situation, Yu Shi understood:

"So you don't know, then you shouldn't know that he followed you to Huanxi Building......"

Hearing Huanxilou, Yu Keqiang could no longer just kneel, he kowtowed fiercely:

"My lord! Xiaomin has nothing else to ask for, only to ask the adults to protect Xiaomin's children! The small people are also hesitant to do it! ”

Again and again, the floor tiles rattled.

Yu Shi stared at the turquoise floor tiles, where there was a faint trace of blood, his eyes moved up, and sure enough, he saw that Yu Ke's forehead was bleeding although it was constantly rising:

"I'm not here to listen to you beg for mercy, let alone to see you kowtow."

With a light and faint word, Yu Keqiang listened to it.

Miraculous, he immediately stopped kowtowing, didn't ask for it in his mouth, got up unsteadily, and got up to reply.

Such a well-behaved Yu Keqiang, seeing that Yu Shi's heart was sour, in the end, she pity the hearts of parents in the world, she sighed:

"Originally, you avenged Mrs. Zun, which is understandable, but you acted like this as a puppet of others, didn't you think about the consequences before you did it? Ever thought about what you could afford to lose? Or can one of your sons and daughters afford it? ”

When people are angry, under the cover of anger, they will always do something that they will regret later.

But although Yu Ke didn't regret it, he just blamed himself for not making the best arrangements for a pair of children as soon as possible, he should have sent away a pair of children as soon as possible, and he shouldn't have cut off this last way out of reluctance.

Yulian sneered: "The world is so big, it is not the imperial land, are you sure that the back road you arranged is not the Longtan Tiger's Den?" ”

Yu Keqiang said: "My lord, Zhusha County is a small county in the north, as long as it passes through Beiyang Pass, it is not the territory of Chu State." ”

It's really sincere, and even such a plan doesn't shy away from picking up jade.

Yu Shi sighed secretly in her heart, since Yu Keqiang really opened up to her and said that his life and death were for the sake of his wife and children, she couldn't embarrass him anymore:

"Say it well, say it from the beginning, when it's over, I'm satisfied, and I will have your benefits."

What are the benefits?

Yu Keqiang didn't dare to ask, so he only confessed honestly.

More than three months before Chen Huiyao was killed, a plague broke out in Yangjia Village, at first it was only one or two people, but the plague spread quickly, and all the villagers in the entire village were soon infected and were dying.

When he learned the news, Yu Keqiang couldn't wait to fly to Yangjia Village.

His wife had just arrived in Yangjia Village a few days ago to visit his father-in-law's family.

One of his sons and daughters was also anxious, but he knew the danger of the plague, so he did not allow a pair of sons and daughters to get into danger, so he went to Yangjia Village alone.

When he arrived, Yangjia Village had been surrounded by many officials like an iron bucket, and there was not even a single gap left for him.

He was anxious about his beloved wife's situation, and he was very eager to see his beloved wife, so he begged Chen Huiyao.

Chen Huiyao loves money, so before Yu Keqiang went to see him, he prepared a generous gift early.

Chen Huiyao was very satisfied with that generous gift, but he only allowed Yu Keqiang to see Mrs. Yu from a distance outside the village.

Yu Keqiang said: "Although I only glanced at it from a distance, but at that time, Mrs. was only slightly infected, not serious, and Mrs. also relieved me, saying that it would always pass, and it would always be fine......

However, he didn't expect that this distant meeting would become the last time he and his beloved wife met.

On the third day after the outbreak of the large-scale plague in Yangjia Village, the first infected villagers in Yangjia Village were already dying, with only one breath left, and they would close their eyes and stare at their legs at any time.

After Yu Keqiang learned that his beloved wife was trapped in Yangjia Village and contracted the plague and died, he wandered around, hoping to find a famous doctor, but in the end, he couldn't compare to the famous doctors who were transferred from Nanli Province to gather doctors and discuss medicine.

In the end, in desperation, he simply set up a temporary residence in the closest place to Yangjia Village. (To be continued.) )
