Chapter 107: Refugees
For several days, Chang'an City was filled with unrest, riots, and panic. Most of the panicked nobles panicked about such an unpredictable murderer, for fear that one of them would accidentally provoke this person.
The riot came from the court, the power of the Yushitai, and the officials of the Guanlong nobles standing behind them collectively played, and they raised this matter in the court every day, and His Majesty Li Er was very annoyed.
As long as His Majesty Li Er does not arrest the murderer for a day, then he or other members of the royal family will be the most suspicious.
Under the high attention of this strong pressure, there was soon a new progress, and the source of the clay pot was found, whether it was the technical characteristics or the material characteristics, it was the characteristics of the Changsunjia clay pot, and it was obvious that this was the Changsunjia ceramic workshop.
The eldest grandson Wuji was directly stunned, and lost his temper directly in the court, and the summary was three sentences, not me, I don't know, don't ask me.
After returning to the mansion, the eldest grandson slammed the table angrily and scolded the murderer for his lack of morality. But I also had to check the list and craftsmen of my own ceramic workshop.
It didn't take long for the middle-aged man's identity to be found out, he was from Chang'an County, and then he went to his house to check, but no useful information was found, and soon the middle-aged man's line was broken.
Cheng Chuliang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, after all, he was involved in many things about this middle-aged man.
For more than a month, the case seemed to have fallen into a dead end, and all the clues were broken, as if this matter was a ghost and a god, which was weird and creepy.
One of the most puzzling is how this poison came about. After investigation, neither the well water nor the rice vegetables contained any toxins. These people seem to have been infected with the plague out of thin air, and even these Lang Zhong can't even understand what these two poisons are. Because they have never met them, and there is no record of them.
When they found this, not only the nobles of Guanzhong and the Shandong scholars were silent, but even His Majesty Li Er was silent, because things seemed to be beyond their imagination. If anyone really had the power of this plague-like poison, how terrifying would it be?
Now the only clue may be the only survivor of the Dugu clan. Of course, if they are still alive, but it has been a month, and no survivors have appeared, which makes many people not have too high hopes for this.
And among the people, there is such a voice, saying that it is the Dugu clan that has done a lot of evil, and the public resentment is boiling, and many families have been ruined and their wives have been separated.
For a time, this rumor was popular among the people, and many people believed it to be true.
These days, as the case progressed, Jiang Wei's tense nerves were half relaxed, and when he heard this rumor, he became nervous again, for fear that someone would associate this matter with him.
And at this time, Luoyang continued to rain heavily for several days, the Luohe dam was overwhelmed and collapsed, washed down the city gate, the valley overflowed, rushed to the Luoyang city gate, entered the Luoyang Palace, five feet flat, destroyed the palace temple nineteen, and drifted more than thousands of homes. Nearby villages were also destroyed, leaving tens of thousands of people displaced and their wives separated.
Above the court, His Majesty Li Er said with deep pain,
"If I am not virtuous, the emperor will send disaster. It will be seen and heard, and the punishment will be excessive, so that the yin and yang will be absurd (1), and the rain will be perverse. Sympathize with the people and reflect on their own mistakes. I, why do I want to enjoy it alone? I ordered the harem to stop eating meat for three days, and only eat vegetables and vegetarian food. Civil and military officials followed suit. In addition, hundreds of civil and military officials have been sealed, saving themselves and saying gains and losses. ”
His Majesty Li Er opened his mouth, and the direction of the court gradually began to change. But privately, His Majesty Li Er still asked Li Daozong to continue to investigate this matter. If you don't find it out, Your Majesty Li Er's heart is like hanging on a big stone, and he can't put it down, and he can't sleep steadily.
As soon as the flood in Luoyang rose, many refugees rushed to Chang'an, more and more day by day, basically thousands of refugees poured into Chang'an every day, and many refugees poured into Yunling Village. Jiang Wei also did his part to buy a batch of grain. At the same time, he asked Li Wen to secretly go to Luoyang to rescue the orphans and bring them back to the valley, but the action should not be too large, and the number of people sent should not be too large.
Early in the morning of this day, Li Wu set up a platform at the gate of Yunling Village and brought buckets of porridge, and the refugees also lined up in a long line, but in the team, there was a woman who was more abrupt, and this woman was Dugu Qianyi.
A month ago, before the Dugu extermination case spread, Dugu Qianyi heard about Jiang Wei in Yunling Village in Chang'an City, and heard about all kinds of things in Yunling Village, she was full of curiosity, so she took a car to Yunling Village.
When she arrived, she found that everything here was as rumored to be full of magic, whether it was running water, flushing toilets, or the food in the store, she would never want to leave.
It seems that God has opened a window for her, and she has never been picky about food, and she fell in love with all kinds of delicacies in Yunling Village.
It's just that there are not many silver jewelry that she brought out of her body, only four pieces in total, and just a few days ago, there were not a few copper coins left on her body.
She had never worried about copper coins, but for the first time, she found out that she didn't know how to make money at all. If you continue to stay in a hotel and eat out, I'm afraid you won't be able to last a few days.
So Dugu Qianyi chose to live in the park, she built a tent out of cloth, a bed out of grass, and a layer of bedding. That's all there is to a nest of.
But if there is no source for it, it will not work. Dugu Qianyi found out that the village was recruiting cleaning workers, so she joined them.
But only three days later, the money was spent, but the wages would still be paid for a while, and Dugu Qianyi heard that someone said that Jiang Wei Gongzi was giving refugees porridge at the village gate. She couldn't help but feel a good impression of Jiang Wei, so she took the bowl and lined up.
When Li Wu saw Dugu Qianyi, who was cleanly dressed and covered her face with a white veil, he couldn't help but smile bitterly,
"Mrs. Li, this is for refugees."
Dugu Qianyi stayed in Yunling Village for a month, and changed her name to Li Qianyi with the surname of Yue Fei's daughter-in-law. The main reason for changing her name was that she was afraid that the people of the Dugu clan would find her, arrest her, and sell her as a commodity.
And after this month, she has known many villagers, although no one has seen her true appearance, but her cheerfulness, liveliness, and kindness have won the favor of many people. Dugu Qianyi also likes it very much, the people here are kind, kind, very easy-going, and she feels very comfortable living here.
The only thing that makes people feel funny and helpless is that she is too lacking in common sense, and she is alone, spending money without a plan, and she will not make money. In the end, I now live in the park.
"Brother Wu, I ......"
Dugu Qianyi wanted to say something, but when she saw the dissatisfied refugees, she didn't say anything, and consciously gave up her position.
Li Wu shook his head, but still made her a bowl of porridge.
