Mr. Chen died, in his own home.

Hanmei School had a political class in the afternoon, and seeing that he was delayed, Liu Zhao sent a steward to inquire, but found that the person was lying on the bed and had already gone.

The steward was so frightened that he reported to the official, and after reading it, he finally judged that he died violently, and the surrounding neighbors sighed when they heard it, but it did not cause many people to discuss.

When Hanmei Academy received the news, the students were stunned and set off a lot of waves.

"Sir, the morning is fine, how can it be so gone?!"

"yes, I think it's weird too. Mr. Chen's death is really strange. ”

"Is it because of Lu Yunqing's ......article?"

"Silence! Don't talk nonsense, watch out for your dog's life! We'd better not get involved in this. ”

Liu Zhao passed by the door of the school and heard many students discussing this matter, his already gloomy face became even more ugly, he didn't say anything, and left quickly.

Back in his room, Liu Zhao immediately pulled out the soft he usually saved from under the bed and began to clean up.

Mr. Chen and Li Hongyan were talking in the warehouse that day, and he was also present.

Mr. Chen handed over the examination paper to Li Hongyan. In order to benefit the people in Luzhou City, he never thought that Li Hongyan would actually take this thing and frame Lu Yunqing's crime.

He should have thought that Li Hongyan was a madman! In order to prevent Lu Yunqing from having a chance to turn over, he killed Mr. Chen.

In the past, Li Hongyan was undewy, he only felt that Li Zhaoqing was terrifying, and it was only now that he understood that the daughter of the Li family, who was only fifteen years old, was even more ruthless than Li Zhaoqing!

If Li Hongyan wants to kill his mouth, he has no ability to resist at all. He wanted to escape, but if he did, everything he had worked so hard for in officialdom over the years would be in vain.

"That's it, the current situation is still unclear, and Han Lichun has not yet shown signs of defeat. I could wait. ”

Liu Zhao thought about it, and continued to clean up, lest it was too late.

In the city, rumors about Lu Yunqing abound, but except for officialdom, no one took it seriously. The normal life of the people is still a peaceful scene.

Fu herbal medicine house, located in the south corner of the city.

It was a medicine hall built by the wealthy in the city at the expense of the previous state government, aiming to provide a place for the poor in the city to treat their diseases.

Twenty or thirty years have passed since Li Zhaoqing took office, and the medicine house has never been repaired, and over time it has been abandoned, turning into a gathering place for beggars, and occasionally well-meaning doctors will come to treat the seriously ill.

At this moment, in the medicine house, there are thirty or forty straw mats, and the weather is so hot and humid at noon that even beggars are reluctant to go out to beg. They all lay down and slept.

"Mother, I'm hungry ......"

In a straw mat in the corner, the dirty little girl hid in her mother's arms, and her thin little face was embedded with two big sparkling eyes, which were still smart. 【@… Magic Pen House ¥*Better Update, Faster】

She couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she watched a beggar on the straw mat opposite her munch on a steamed bun.

"Bear with it a little longer, and when the sun is weaker, my mother will go out to beg for food."

The woman holding the little girl comforted her weakly, she was skinny, her eyes were deeply sunken, and she was already hungry and thin.

Her mother and daughter were shipwrecked at home and fled here, but they didn't expect that the city of Luzhou was not as prosperous as she imagined, and they couldn't find a job for a long time, so they could only live by begging.

But these days, the poor are tightening their belts to get by, and the more the rich are struggling, it is really difficult to get money.

A few days ago, they were lucky, when they went into the city, they picked up a generation of first love shows on the side of the road and sold them for some money, and after a while, it is now unsustainable.

"I knew earlier, even if I let the girl sell to be a subordinate, it would be better than now......"

The woman thought in a daze, that she was so hungry that she was weak and weak, and that her thinking had become difficult, and that she had to save some effort to go out and beg for food.

The little girl heard her mother's words and nodded obediently.

Although the weather is hot, he still holds his mother and does not let go, and his mother's body is so cool.

"Squeak Squeak......"

At that moment, a rat scurried past the mat as if no one was there.

The little girl stared at the mouse with her eyes, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, her mother said that this was a mouse that could not be eaten, but she was really hungry.

Is rat meat delicious?

"I can't live this day."

The two beggars limped into the medicine house from the outside, chatting as they went.

"I heard that Fengdu County, the only county under the jurisdiction of Luzhou, which is close to the river, has been flooded, and there is no harvest this year. It won't be long before there will be more refugees here! ”

"Last year, it wasn't the imperial court that allocated funds to repair the embankment, why was it washed away again this year?"

"It's not those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the silver taels under the court have been stripped layer by layer, how much is left in Fengdu County? The dikes built with that little money were like papier-mâché, and they couldn't stop the flood at all. ”

"These corrupt officials are really damned!"

"Didn't you just arrest that Lu Yunqing recently? Just because an article was written tabooly, the state government arrested him, and I think most of them were either wronged or used to carry the blame. ”

"You can see through it."

"How can you see it clearly? In my early years, I also read the books of the sages. Later, the old and young in the family were washed away by the flood, and they also extinguished the idea of gaining fame. Don't go to that pickled place! ”

"I can't say that, if I can really ask for an official and a half-job, it's better than asking for it now, you see

We are dead, and I am afraid that there will be no one to collect our bodies. ”

As soon as this remark came out. A faint sigh sounded in the medicine furnace.

It may seem like an unusually long day for many people.

The woman waited until the sun was not so hot, and then she got up and took the girl out to beg, and when she came back in the evening, not a single copper plate arrived.

When he returned to the medicine house, the old beggar who was lying on the side could not look at it, so he took out a cake from his bosom, divided it in half and handed it to the woman.

"Thank you, brother."

The lady took the cake and did not forget to thank her, squeezed out a smile on her pale face, and stuffed the cake to the little girl: "Eat quickly, you won't be hungry after eating." ”

The little girl was already hungry, so she picked up half a cake and gnawed it without saying a word.

"Eat slowly, don't choke!"

The old beggar scooped some water with a broken bowl and put it in front of the little girl, looking at the little girl's eating appearance, the old beggar flashed a touch of unbearability in his eyes, and sighed imperceptibly.

He could see that the child's mother was dying and starving. But it is very difficult for him to live on his own, and it is already the limit to be able to even out half a cake.

In the blink of an eye, many beggars came back one after another, and they all fell asleep.

The little girl slept for a while, then suddenly woke up, stretched out her hand and touched her mother's cold face.

Why is my mother getting colder and colder?

She quietly got up and touched her shriveled belly, and when she ate half a cake in the evening, she felt more and more hungry.

Squeak squeak......

Another rat crawled past her, and I don't know if it was daytime.

The little girl's eyes lit up, one pounced and grabbed the mouse in her hand, looked up and saw that the bonfire in the middle of the medicine house had not been extinguished, she tiptoed over and threw the mouse directly into the broken pot.

Squeak squeak!!

There was a hurried cry from inside the pot, and it stopped abruptly for a moment. The little girl squatted in front of the boiler and swallowed her saliva, her eyes full of anticipation.

She hadn't eaten meat in a long, long time.

At the same time, outside the state capital's jail.

Luo Lingqing took advantage of the lack of jailers guarding the prison at night and came to the door to do something. The old housekeeper and Dingchun watched from a distance.

She made two preparations, if the jailer did not accept the bribe, she would directly poison the two of them, and Yi Rong blended in.

"Can the official be accommodating, the little girl is the sister of Miss Lu Yunqing, and she wants to go in and visit."

The jailer guarding tonight is the one who delivers food to Lu Yunqing every day, he glanced Luo Lingqing up and down, and said expressionlessly: "The above has instructed that Lu Yunqing is a repeat offender, and no one is allowed to visit the prison!" ”

"Just for a moment."

Luo Lingqing whispered and took out a bag of silver from his sleeve.

The jailer gave a heavy look

's money bag, his face suddenly softened a lot. He turned to his companion and said, "Go and have two drinks." ”

"It's not in order, is it?"

The other looked hesitant.

"What's wrong, we're just watching and drinking outside the door, do you still expect a weak woman to rob the prison?"

As he spoke, the jailer pulled his companion out of the way, and at the same time said to Luo Lingqing, "You only have a quarter of an hour, don't make it difficult for us." ”

"Thank you, sir."

Luo Lingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a hint of strangeness rose in her heart, this person was too good at talking, and also helped her solve another jailer.

Good luck.

Luo Lingqing shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and walked quickly towards the prison.

There was a sound of footsteps in the dark corridor, and when Lu Yunqing heard the sound, he looked up and saw Luo Lingqing walking over, and immediately walked to the fence and shouted in a low voice: "Master, here!" ”

Luo Lingqing's eyes lit up, and she immediately leaned over and grabbed Lu Yunqing's hands tightly, and seeing that there was no one left and right, she stuffed a small package into Lu Yunqing's arms.

"There's all the medicine you can use. There are poisons and wounds, you see if you need them. ”

Master is trying to let her escape?

Lu Yunqing frowned, didn't follow Luo Lingqing's words, and instead asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”

"I've gone to see Han Lichun, he has decided to protect you, and is stepping up his interrogation of those who are walking in the teeth. When they get the evidence of the crime of the boss of the tooth shop, they will go to negotiate with Li Zhaoqing and rescue you. ”

When Lu Yunqing heard this, his heart was warm.

Han Lichun had already saved her once last time, and the kindness between the two of them had already been cleared.

This time, Han Lichun was between Luzhou City and her, and he was willing to give up Luzhou City to protect her, such kindness is worth remembering for a lifetime.

"Thank you, Lord Han, for me."

Lu Yunqing didn't say much, and hurried up to say: "I have a lot of inconvenience in prison, Li Zhaoqing's methods are insidious and ruthless, let him pay attention to it, don't trap yourself in." ”

"I always feel that Li Zhaoqing has a backhand."

Luo Lingqing gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to let Han Lichun find a substitute ghost similar to you, after I disguise her, you golden cicada will come out of her shell!" ”
