Chapter Seventy-Two: The Game
On the main street of Dongqiu County, there is a group of people, or two groups.
Ringing noon, the wind is dry. The heat wave is rolling in for a while, and people can't help but think of taking a cool break in the corner. But I don't know what happened, and the crowd on the street kept moving. The pair of dark eyes that had been hiding in the alley of the house and had been observing the situation on the street couldn't help but show confusion and uneasiness at this time.
The old man knelt down and immediately shocked everyone on both sides, and the first day of the month helped him up, and said hurriedly: "Old man, why did you come to such a big gift, I really can't stand it." ”
Gently dusting off the dust stained by the old man when he knelt down, the beginning of the month was also a puzzle in her heart, she remembered that she had just given the old man a bag of broken silver, and did not do much. If it's just about money, it shouldn't be like that. Looking down again, she glanced down and saw the old man's lame right leg, she remembered that it was obviously intact at that time, why did she become like this when she saw her again? A hint of uneasiness flashed in my heart.
"Treber, what are you doing here?! This is the Imperial Master sent by the DPRK to provide disaster relief. When everyone was immersed in the surprise of the old man's abnormal behavior, the first to speak was the county lieutenant Wu Bin, who was calm and unkind. deliberately accentuated the word imperial history, and glanced at the old man at an angle that the others couldn't see at the beginning of the month.
When the old man heard this, he looked at the beginning of the month in a daze, as if he didn't believe it. "Imperial History? How is this possible? He said majestically, his eyes, which had been clouded by the years, were now even more hollow. Turning his head sideways to Cao Ji'an, he muttered, "How could she be someone sent by the imperial court?"
Looking at the old man's reaction, Cao Ji'an and the others suddenly stiffened, for fear that the old man would say something that should not be said, and wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but he was afraid of arousing suspicion.
"How can this old man talk like this, although Lord Hang is a woman, she is the best among her colleagues when she works in the court." Probably mistakenly thought that the old man looked down on women as officials, and he was quite displeased.
Sun Daren is a few years younger than the father of the month, and he admires his father's actions of not being involved in party disputes on weekdays, so he is willing to go to disaster relief with the beginning of the month, and talk with him all the way.
It seems that the luck in everyone's mouth is nonsense, and at this moment, he believes that the person in front of him is indeed capable of winning. With this appreciation of the beginning of the month, when I heard Cui Bo's words at first glance, I thought that he looked down on the beginning of the month, so he naturally wanted to defend one or two.
For Lord Sun's words, the beginning of the month smiled at him gratefully. Turning her eyes to look back at the old man, she knew in her heart that although she didn't know what happened to make the old man give her such a big gift, but listening to what he and County Lieutenant Wu said, it should have other intentions.
was so suddenly tapped by the old man, Cao Ji'an and his party were obviously a little confused. First, Wu Bin's words with him just now made the beginning of the month feel a little weird, and secondly, the old man's encouragement made them afraid of something.
After a pause, Cao Ji'an calmed down before he coughed and said, "This old man is quite famous in our local area. I didn't expect to have some relationship with Lord Hang, which is really a coincidence. As he spoke politely, he hinted at Treber to leave. It's a pity that Cui Bo is still immersed in confused feelings and can't respond to him immediately.
At the beginning of the month, his eyes drooped, and he rushed to speak: "I haven't seen the old man for a long time, and I want to talk about something, why don't the old man go to the place where I stay with me?" ”
After speaking, the atmosphere around him suddenly became urgent. Especially on Cao Ji'an's side, many people watched the beginning of the month faintly, which was very scary.
Cao Ji'an squinted at the beginning of the month, although he didn't speak, but a hint of danger secretly rose.
The heart of the moon trembled, and he jumped up uncontrollably, but he still looked at Cui Bo and asked softly, "Old man, are you okay?" ”
Anyang, Min Province.
As soon as Min Shuo got off the court, Qin Sheng stepped forward to deliver the latest urgent news from the Twelve Fangs.
"There's a riot in Dongqiu?!" Shocked, he turned to look at Qin Sheng and said sharply, "What's the matter?!" Just get the message now! "Under the corridor in the courtyard, the summer cicadas chirped and lingered restlessly.
Recently, in order to pull Xiao Ao into the corruption case, he has a big head, and now when he hears this news, people are even more angry and irritable.
"Cao Ji'an was killed, and the state government was afraid of being implicated and questioned, so it was forced to suppress it. Our people also received the news after many inquiries. He explained with a cold face, but Qin Sheng also knew in his heart that their movements were indeed slow this time, and now the court had sent Yushi to provide disaster relief, if the victims impulsively killed Yushi who went to disaster relief, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Who is it that went to Dongqiu for disaster relief?" It was useless to dig deeper, Min Shuo tried to restrain the surging anger, closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead and asked.
"Hang Yue." Qin Sheng's face became even more ugly.
Min Shuo's movements were abrupt, and he could almost be regarded as gritting his teeth and said, "Send a letter to Fengzhou immediately and let Shang Ying rush over." "Why her?! Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.
At this time, the Zhenguo Mansion also received news of the Dongqiu Riot.
Sitting under the porch, a bowl of summer soup on the side, Xiao Ruchang carelessly teased the canary in the cage, and after listening to Xiao Ao's report, he chuckled and said: "This Cao Ji'an didn't find out before, the ability to be a demon is really good." ”
"Uncle, what are we going to do now?" Xiao Ao stepped forward and asked.
"Everyone has done this, wouldn't it be a pity if only a temporary county magistrate died?"
When Xiao Ao heard this, a chill arose behind him.
"Isn't there a royal history who went to Dongqiu for disaster relief? Let the county lieutenant of Zhangtai lead some soldiers and horses to Dongqiu. "I'm still teasing the birds in my hands, as if I'm talking something homely." Surround Dongqiu for a few days, and let those Diao people know that the imperial court is ready to suppress them. ”
In this way, everyone knows what the victims of Dongqiu who jumped over the wall in a hurry will do.
"Yes."
After Xiao Ao left, Xiao Ruchang turned his gaze from the caged finch to the lush scenery under the corridor, and said to himself: "This world is really too peaceful, and there are more twists and turns, which is interesting." ”
"Did you say?" In the blink of an eye, looking back at the birdcage, he asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Wen Que flapped his wings twice. The mung bean-like eyes, with a dripping turn, screamed in response to the occasion.
"Hey, that's a good boy."
Xiao Ruchang called softly, and his eyes were faintly colored. I don't know what I thought, the smile on the corner of my mouth became more and more weird, and I was stunned to see that people were panicked on this hot day.
