Chapter 256: A plan in a plan, a chain plan
Geng Xiwu, missing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Feng Qi arrived with people, the Blood Maple Valley was already silent, obviously someone had cleaned up, and all the traces that could be seen by others had been erased. The few corpses left at the scene were really yellow and thin, and they had been hungry for a long time, but they really looked like refugees, but Geng Xiwu was nowhere to be seen. Not only Geng Xiwu, but also the four Geng family secret guards under him, also disappeared.
When Lan Xi heard this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. With what she knew about Geng Xiwu, she was almost certain that Senior Brother would be fine. It's just that...... Why didn't he come back? And where did it go? What did you do? Lan Xi's mind was racing, but at this moment, even Lu Zhan, who was like an old fox, was at a loss. The only thing that can comfort me is that at least their bodies have not been found, and no news can be regarded as good news.
It's just that Lan Xi thought, this game of chess, I'm afraid that it has just begun. What's next?
No one knows what happened in the palace, and this night, the prefect stayed in the government and did not return all night. In the palace, in the study where the prefect deliberates on weekdays, the candle flame was not extinguished all night, and then, when the sky was slightly bright, the soldiers guarding the door were leaning against the city wall and napping, and they were woken up. In my sleepy eyes, I saw in a daze a group of soldiers with the prefect's edict quietly going out of the city gate, as if they were escorting someone.
The morning light is dawning, since the flood, the **** is a clear sky, and the sun is shining. This weather, in the middle of summer, is a common thing, but because it is after the catastrophe, it is a little unbearable.
And in the city, at this time, out of nowhere, a rumor quietly circulated.
It is said that yesterday, when the officers and soldiers of Huzhou City were patrolling outside the city, they clashed with a group of refugees, and when they did not agree with each other, they even drew their swords and killed several refugees.
After a while, there were rumors that they were not refugees at all, but rogues, who had come to grab food, and it was understandable that when the officers and soldiers were fighting with them, they killed a few of them by mistake.
Some people say that the Huzhou prefect is a good official who loves the people and protects the people, and the officers and soldiers under him will certainly not kill innocents indiscriminately.
Some people say, what kind of good official who loves the people and protects the people? If he really loves the people and protects the people, how can there be disaster victims who are forced to be helpless and can only grab food? In the final analysis, even the rogue was forced out, and the prefect of Huzhou was just a person who sold his reputation and reputation.
For a while, all kinds of rumors were rampant, but the prefect of Huzhou was silent from beginning to end and did not say anything to clarify. The resettlement site for the victims outside the city gate was still methodically distributing porridge and administering medicine, and those who were originally a little suspicious did not dare to be the first bird to watch when they saw this. Of course, they didn't know that among the victims outside the city, there were many fresh faces, some of them were provoked, and some of them were pressed stubble.
The next day, the third wife was tired for days, and when she got up early today, she felt a little unlucky. Lan Xi volunteered to help the third wife go to the resettlement point outside the city to give porridge, and the third wife groaned slightly, and then agreed, only explaining that Lan Xi must be careful, and the good name can be kept, but the rules must not be broken.
Lan Xi naturally nodded in response and led the people to the outside of the city. The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of Lanfu Porridge have been doing it with the third wife for several days, and they are naturally cooked, and they don't need Lan Xi's instructions, so they are busy with their own work. Lanfu soup porridge has always had to stand with chopsticks, so the victims were very fond of it, and after a while, there was a long queue.
After a while, after finishing the porridge, Lan Xi stood in place, looked around, and saw that the resettlement site was in order, thinking that the third master, Mr. Lu and others must have spent a lot of effort, so he couldn't help but nod secretly, and was about to go back to his house, when the west of the resettlement site suddenly made a fuss. Faintly heard something," ...... This porridge is poisonous, eat the dead......" "What else is there to kill people to pay for their lives......"
Lan Xi frowned, and saw from a distance a number of people rushing towards his porridge shack.
"Girl?" A family general who was sent to Lanxi by the third master, called Hu Tao, stepped forward and asked in a low voice to show it, but Chang Rou, who had been indifferent to Lan Xi's side, also took a step forward, raised his eyebrows and waited for Lan Xi to show it, and they all saw that those people were obviously coming for them, and they were afraid that it was not good.
Lan Xi groaned slightly, but waved his hand slightly, signaling that there was no need to retreat. She wants to see what kind of situation she is doing this time.
The crowd was getting closer, and there was a woman in the crowd, holding a skinny child in her hand, and holding one in her hand, crying out to the sky and the ground, "The ...... If you have a good one, how can we live? ”
Lan Xi raised his eyebrows and looked, and saw that those people were carrying a person with a broken wooden plank, who was actually purple-skinned and clenched in his teeth.
Changrou hesitated slightly, looked at the person who was getting closer and closer, there was a struggle in her eyes, and after a while, under Lan Xi's firm gaze, she gritted her teeth, turned around and walked away.
And those people were blocked by the generals of the Lan Mansion a few steps away from Lanxi after all. Hu Tao hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, and was very noisy for a while, in fact, Lan Xi had already roughly guessed a rough idea, and sure enough, after a while, Hu Tao replied with an ugly face, "The one lying on the wooden board is the woman's husband, saying that he just drank the porridge from our house, but his abdominal pain was like a twist, and he fell to the ground after a while." Some people said that looking at the man's face, he should have been poisoned, so they shouted, saying that the porridge in our house was poisoned, and they rushed over together, asking us to give justice. ”
Lan Xi raised her eyebrows, but it was roughly the same as she guessed, it was really fortunate that she was here today, not her mother. Although she is a little unfilial, her mother's body is a little unwell today, and God blesses her.
Lan Xi was thinking nonsense here, but over there, there was already humanity in the crowd, "Which of you is in charge?" Now that everyone has fallen, it is only after drinking your porridge that it has become like this, why do you have to give an explanation? Hiding and hiding, don't you want to admit it? This human life is at stake, even if we suffer a disaster, it is a human life! And even if you are an official family, you can't careless of people's lives, right? ”
Lan Xi sighed in his heart, this is amazing, as soon as he came up, he was wearing a big hat.
In the crowd, someone whispered to each other, "Whose porridge shed is this?" How can you do such a thing that lacks morality? ”
"This is the porridge shed of the Lan family."
"The Lan family? It's not that the prefect of Huzhou is also surnamed Lan, this surname is rare, isn't it ......? ”
"Isn't that his house? Yesterday, I heard that the officers and soldiers of the government had killed a few refugees, and they insisted that they had become rogues, but I didn't believe it, thinking that this prefect was a good official, but now it seems that it is difficult to say. ”
"It can't be, can it? He is an official, why should he ......"
"Who knows? When they are officials, they don't know what they are doing, but they don't take the lives of our people as human lives......." (To be continued. )
