403. Flesh and Blood Blur
"Lost a young, strong man?" Lord Liang answered in a somewhat strange tone, and finally shook his head and denied it: "Lord Qiqi, the lower officials really don't know about this, how can this young and strong man be lost like this?" Could it be that I went to work somewhere, and I left for a few days, and my family didn't know, so I thought so? Will there be any misunderstanding!? ”
"Is there any misunderstanding, please also ask Lord Liang to find out, you are the parent official of the people, and you always have to help figure it out, right?" Beichen asked solemnly, but Lord Liang couldn't refute it, so he could only nod.
However, before Lord Liang could start to investigate, something big happened.
Bai Nongshi's family was arrested, and only then did he report to Yan Lian's side, and the big drum at the entrance of the yamen was beaten, and there was a faint deafening cry, which made Yan Lian, Beichen Ao and Lord Liang all shocked, and everyone went to the place where the case was tried.
"What's going on?" The further she went, the more she heard the heartbroken cry, which made Yan Lian's heart feel very uncomfortable. If nothing big had happened, there would have been no such sound.
"I don't know, go see what you're saying," Beichen Ao continued to walk forward, Lord Liang's face changed, he didn't know what was going on, he always felt that something was wrong—I didn't know if I wanted to run now, but it was too late.
The people didn't know who was the official and whose official was big, and when they saw Beichen Ao, they cried and shouted, and shouted loudly: "Lord Qingtian, wish, ......,"
Seeing such a tragic situation, Yan Lian's heart became more and more uncomfortable, and without waiting for Beichen Ao to speak, she stepped forward and bent down to ask a woman who was crying: "Auntie, what's wrong?" You're good, someone will be in charge of you! ”
They didn't know Yan Lian's identity, but when they saw Yan Lian coming out with the adults, thinking that their identities were different, the woman didn't care how dirty her hands were stained with tears and snot, and pulled Yan Lian's hand tightly, and the strength of her hand was as if she had exhausted all her strength, and the hand that grabbed Yan Lian hurt and hurt.
Yan Lian desperately suppressed the move of withdrawing her hand, knowing that the person in front of her was sad to the extreme, and seeing that she was like grasping a life-saving straw, she was like this, so she didn't shrink her hand and refuse.
"Madam, help, help, please, save our children, our man ......," as soon as the woman spoke, the cries behind her became one, and those people all kowtowed to Yan Lian for help, and Yan Lian was very embarrassed to say in her heart.
"What's wrong, you say, say it well, it will be solved," these are all old people and women and children, there is no strong man, Yan Lian seemed to think of something, and a trace of sharpness flashed in her eyes.
"Princess, let's let the lower officials be promoted to the court for interrogation!?" Lord Liang saw that others had robbed him of his share of affairs and completely ignored his own existence, so he reminded him kindly with a gloomy face.
"Interrogation?" Yan Lian's eyes turned sharply and glared at him, and she asked with a sneer: "Lord Liang thinks, how should I interrogate him?" "These are all times when he has lost his relatives and is in pain and sadness, this beast still wants to interrogate, what is his heart made of, is there no relatives and children?
"Madam, the man in my family has not been seen for several days, and even the Yamen reported to the official, and the people in the yamen said that a big man, where can he go, saying that the little woman was unreasonable, so he drove the little woman away," The little woman who grabbed Yan Lian's hand saw that she was a woman who could confront the court officials, and knew that she had some identity, so she immediately opened her mouth to cry.
"There are a lot of men in our village who have gone missing, the youngest is only fifteen years old, but ...... But today...... "As soon as the woman said this, she couldn't hold back her choked cry any longer, and she couldn't say anything more."......
"Be bold ......," Lord Liang wanted to say something threatening, but all the words were hidden in his throat by Yan Lian's cold eyes.
With Lord Liang's roar, everyone who was originally afraid of entering the yamen choked in horror and didn't dare to cry loudly.
"Auntie, sue me, what happened?" Yan Lian comforted the woman who had just been holding her hand tightly, and asked the eldest lady who looked a little better.
"Madam, today there is a barefoot doctor in our village who collects medicine and goes to collect medicine, but on the way, he finds ...... A large pit was discovered, and inside, there were dozens of ...... As soon as the men who were killed, including those from our village and the next village, everyone rushed up and dug up the bodies that were hastily buried, all of which were blurred in flesh and blood, and they had only been dead for ......about a day.
"Everyone carefully identified it, and found that they were all strong men who disappeared inexplicably, and everyone was afraid, and they were even more worried about those whose whereabouts were unknown, and they were afraid that something would happen to those people, so everyone made an appointment to come to the yamen to complain," the woman before she relieved herself and continued.
"What about those people? In what place? Beichen Ao suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice.
The woman was coldly asked, asked for a moment, and then said, "We...... We carried a few ...... put them at the entrance of the yamen, "Because I was afraid of being blamed by the adults, I didn't bring them in, and I was afraid of bad luck, so I didn't dare to say anything."
"Lord Liang, send the officials to move the corpses outside, you leave a few who can talk about things, and the rest of the people will exit first, blocking the entrance of the ya, and it is not easy to do things, when there is something to ask, this king will send someone to inform him," Beichen Ao's attitude is much better than that of Lord Liang, so that those sad women are obedient and come out.
"Lord Wang," Lord Liang did not leave, but said with some displeasure: "This is a matter within the duties of the lower officials, is it a little inappropriate for the prince to be in charge like this?" ”
"Lord Liang thinks this is appropriate?" Yan Lian saw that he still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so she sneered and said, "Lord Liang, no matter how many things you do, don't say anything else, just the fact that the whereabouts of the villagers are unknown and you are rejected is enough to take off the hat on your head, how long do you want to be rampant?" ”
Seeing this, Lord Liang knew that people were preparing to attack him, so his face changed and he was not ready to pretend.
"Hehe, Her Royal Highness the Princess's words are really funny, even if you want to take off the official hat of the lower official, it won't be Her Royal Highness the Princess's turn, right? This is Jiangnan, not the capital, if the two of you want to live in peace, don't meddle in your affairs, lest you get into trouble, and you can't even get out of Jiangnan! "I know that the matter of the iron mine has been exposed, if I continue to investigate, I am afraid that even the iron mine will be exposed, then I will die horizontally and vertically, so it is better to fight.
Yan Lian and Beichen Ao glanced at each other, a sharp light flashed in their eyes, and their eyes fell on Lord Liang's body again, seeing that he was not only unrepentant, but began to run rampant, they felt that he was really looking for death.
"I don't know if Lord Liang thinks he can't get out of Jiangnan, is he going to do this?" Beichen Ao sneered and asked.
Now that it's been revealed, there's no need for disguise. Lord Liang was no longer humble, no longer bent down and bowed his head, and no longer echoed and listened, but stood up straight, and said a little arrogantly: "The whereabouts of the war king and the princess of the protector are unknown when they were hunted down and killed on the outskirts of the capital, but they didn't mention Jiangnan, so have you ever been here, but with the mouth of this official, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”
"Poof," Yan Lian couldn't help laughing when she heard such a threat, looked at the unknown Lord Liang in front of her, and mocked: "I really don't know how your hat is put on, getting rid of you is really a blessing for the people of Jiangnan!" "The corruption and greed of officials are nothing, the most hateful thing is to disregard people's lives, and if they don't regard the lives of the people as their lives, they are treated like mustard, then they really can't be forgiven.
The people kneeling in the hall are all bereaved and are afraid of losing their relatives, he is a parent official, he is not easy to appease, and he wants to use brutal means to suppress those who have lost their relatives, isn't this to force the people to rebel?
That was not what the emperor meant, but it was imposed on the emperor by the unwitting people, and the contradiction was even deeper.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, when you speak, you have to weigh it, this Jiangnan matter is not something that the two of you can decide," Lord Liang sneered arrogantly, seeing that the women who were kneeling in the hall and leaning together were all looking at him, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said ruthlessly: "You don't want to live, don't blame the official for being too ruthless!" ”
When those people heard this, they gasped, knowing that they had overheard a lot of secret things, and their faces changed so much that no one dared to cry.
"Lord Liang, don't talk too much, do you really think that this king will come to Jiangnan, and no one in the capital will know?" I really don't know if he's naïve or stupid, and thinks that he can hide it from the world.
Lord Liang didn't know that by doing this, he was undoubtedly looking for death. However, he really has no way out except to fight. If he let the war king and the princess of the protectorate walk out of the yamen today, then when they follow the place where the strong men had an accident, they will find the iron ore sooner or later.
If Lord Zeng pushes everything and doesn't know anything, then he is the one who dies again.
The iron ore was discovered and arranged by him, and the strong man was also arranged by him to catch it, although these things were all nodded by Lord Zeng, but from beginning to end, he did not appear, participated, he knew, if something happened, the first thing to happen was himself, and no one wanted to help him.
What's more, if something goes wrong with the iron mine, then he can't explain to his son, and in the end it's a dead end, the tone is like this, it's better to fight, if you keep the war king and the princess who protects the country, maybe it's still a great achievement.
