Chapter Seventy-One: Dongqiu Suspicion
The middle-aged man in the lead was dressed in a dark official robe, with a Chinese face, a little gray on the tips of his thick eyebrows, and gray hair on his temples.
At the beginning of the month, he frowned, and after the corruption case of repairing the embankment, the county magistrate of Dongqiu County was taken into custody by the state government, and the post of county magistrate was temporarily replaced by Cao Ji'an, the general judge of Dongqiu County. The person in front of him, the awe-inspiring aura around him, is not like a person in a lower position.
Behind Cao Ji'anli, the two officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs around him at the beginning of the month were stunned. It's just because Cao Ji'an didn't worship the beginning of the month, but the two of them.
At this time, Yun Xiang looked nervous, stepped forward and secretly grabbed Yueyue's hand, "Yueyue" she called softly, her voice trembling slightly.
Yue frowned, held her with his backhand, pinched it gently, and gave her a calm look. According to Ruizhu, Cao Ji'an has been killed by the victims of the riot, if it is true, then who is the person in front of him? If it's fake, why did Ruizhu lie to them?
In the flash of light, several thoughts flashed, and the bottom of his eyes darkened at the beginning of the month.
And at this point, the two officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were explaining to Cao Ji'an with a smile, "Lord Cao misunderstood, we are not the imperial history, this Hangzhou master is the emperor's personal inspection of the imperial history." As he spoke, he raised his hand and nodded at the moon next to him and said respectfully.
Cao Ji'an couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the beginning of the month, probably because he didn't expect that the inspector Yushi would be a woman.
At the beginning of the month, his face softened, and he tried his best to draw a calm smile and said, "Looking at Lord Cao's appearance, it seems that you don't believe it?" It doesn't matter, the official will let people take the official seal and check it. Without waiting for Cao Ji'an to speak, he turned to Qing Dai and said, "You go to the carriage and get the official seal of the official." Then he raised his eyebrows and said in a very small voice: "Let Ruizhu not come out." ”
Qing Dai paused slightly, bowed down and said, "Yes, my lord." ”
Turning around, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs had already chatted with Cao Ji'an with a smile.
"Haha, I didn't expect Lord Cao to come to greet him in person, it's so polite."
"Where, where."
"Originally, Lord Yushi planned to make a detour to Pushan, but in this case, I can only go to your Dongqiu first."
Cao Ji'an was stunned when he heard this, and looked sideways at the beginning of the month, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Secretly thinking that it was not good, the beginning of the month said with a dry laugh: "I picked up a victim from Pushan on the road, and said that Pushan was very bad, but since Cao County's order has come, he naturally wants to go to Dongqiu first." ”
At this time, Qingdai has also sent the official seal. The two exchanged official seals for inspection, and at the beginning of the month, their eyebrows frowned, and the official seals were real.
Next, he will say a few words to introduce the two sides.
"This is Wu Bin, the county lieutenant of our Dongqiu County." Cao Ji'an raised his hand, and a sturdy and dark-faced martial artist behind him stepped forward, bowed stiffly, and did not speak, but there was a faint hostility in his eyes when he looked at the first day of the month.
At the beginning of the month, he stiffly laughed, and also said: "Lord Sun and Master Li are already known, so this official will not introduce them." As for this, it is Lord Ling Yun Xiangyun, the imperial physician. ”
As he spoke, he secretly tugged at Yun Xiang's sleeve and gave her a look. Yun Xiang trembled slightly, and a smile barely appeared on his stiff face, which was meaningful.
Cao Ji'an and the others were stunned again after hearing about Yun Xiang, their eyes darkened and they didn't say anything.
"I won't say more, my lords, please." Cao Ji'an turned sideways and gestured with his hand. The bottom of his eyes was slightly dark, looking at everyone, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Then the officers and soldiers behind him stepped forward and surrounded the front and back of the food delivery team. His eyes were on the cart containing food and medicine, and it was full of strange burning.
At the beginning of the month, the hand hidden in the sleeve trembled unconsciously. He shook his palms tightly until his nails hurt his palms. Keep telling yourself to keep your composure, "Lord Cao, please." Silver Tooth gritted, the corners of her mouth trying to raise a smile.
In this way, the plan was broken.
At this time, at the beginning of the month, she had already believed Ruizhu's words for seven or eight points, but the current situation made her have no choice. Go, only go. What if not? The eyes of the surrounding forests, the blue sky and the white sun can make people feel a chill.
After walking for a long time, I arrived at Dongqiu.
As soon as he entered the city gates, he glanced at the moon. The dilapidated gates were covered with new nailed sticks, and a few people stood at the foot of the city walls, looking at them, but cautiously not daring to approach.
There were very few people coming and going in the city, or I should say there were none. A wild dog occasionally popped out of the alley, and the surrounding shops were closed, and the few houses that were occasionally open were nowhere to be seen. There are also a few ruins not far away, and some traces of fire.
The wind rose, and there was a strange smell wafting from the tip of his nose, like the smell of something rotting, the same as he had smelled in the deserted village. Yueyi grabbed Yun Xiang and asked softly, "Did you ask a strange smell?" ”
"Weird smell?" Yun Xiang sniffed into the air and shook his head, "No, it's not smelly." ”
The beginning of the month touched his nose, frowned and said, "Probably there is something wrong with the nose, it's okay." ”
The scene of Dongqiu County was something that everyone didn't expect, Lord Sun and Lord Li looked around, looking at such a dilapidated county town blankly, and they were a little choked up and speechless.
"When there was a flood, many people escaped, and a few days ago there was a fire again, so as it is now, I hope that adults will not be surprised." Cao Ji'an laughed dryly, and there was a look of amazement in the depths of his eyes.
"Lord Cao, where are the victims of the disaster now?" At the beginning of the month, he spied around, and turned his eyes and said nonchalantly.
Cao Ji'an was obviously stunned, probably because he didn't expect Lord Yushi to ask about the situation of the victims so quickly, "In the village shed outside the city, there are also some in the city. His expression was a little distracted, "The adults have come from afar, I think they are tired, let's arrange a place to live first." ”
Sun Li and the others smiled with relief when they heard this. These days have been tiring, although there is a house yesterday, but it is deserted, and I don't sleep very well, and now I just want to rest early after lunch.
At the beginning of the month, the bottom of the eyes is gloomy, if you really go to rest, I am afraid that you will never be able to get up again. Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly broke the silence, "Are you a girl?" A hoarse and vicissitudes of life voice came.
Everyone looked, and at some point an old man came to the alley, with a limp and a limp when he walked.
At the beginning of the month, I was shocked when I saw the old man, "Uncle is you?!" The old man in front of him was the person who beat the drum in Anyang last winter and voiced his grievances.
Cao Ji'an looked at the old man, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was secretly thinking about something.
On the other side, the old man was already approaching, and he was facing the beginning of the month, and suddenly the old man burst into tears and said: "It's really true!" It really is! Then he shouted a benefactor and knelt down.
The crowd around was stunned.
