Chapter Seventy-Seven: The People's Husband
As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and sometimes it is really like going out for a walk, and many of the things you see and hear on the road are not in the books. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the afternoon, the four of Lewen arrived in Weiqiao County from Shenzhou, and saw several people around a well pointing and pointing, as if chatting about something.
A passer-by saw the strange looks of these people, so he stepped forward and asked, "Hey, big brother, what are you talking about?" ”
A tall and thin young man looked passers-by up and down before he explained, "You don't even know this...... Presumably you are definitely not from this county, you say strange is not strange, this well was abandoned a long time ago, because the weather has been too dry recently, a few days ago the government sent people to reopen this well, who knows that after the opening, and let the two people go down, do the final dredging of this well, originally everyone thought that they would soon be able to drink sweet well water, who knew that after these two people went down, there was no trace. ”
"What? Gone? Then you're not going down to have a look...... That's two lives! ”
"Go down? If you want to go down, you go down, I don't dare to go down. ”
It turned out that after these two people in Weiqiao County went down, the people outside did not come up from the left, and they did not come up from the right, from the dawn of the sky until the dawn of the moon sinking in the west, there was no movement at the bottom of the well, and the torches were lit to see, and it was dark and secluded inside, and nothing could be seen.
The two people disappeared strangely at the bottom of the well, no one was alive, no body was dead, the matter was spread, even some nearby villages were spread, and all kinds of discussions were very loud, however, the discussion was discussed, life was important, and no one dared to go down to find out.
Le Wen dismounted and walked over, listened to the gossip of the villagers on the side, and felt that this matter was very strange, so he asked the thin and tall young man, "Don't you know that the county master doesn't care?" ”
The tall and thin young man glanced back at Lewen and said, "The county magistrate has no choice, it is very likely that he will not be able to come up if he goes down, and if he goes down, isn't it for nothing......"
Lewen thought about it, but he still wanted to find the magistrate of Weiqiao to see how he was going to deal with this matter.
"Lewen, we still have to hurry, don't be foolish." Ding Ke'er glanced at Lewen and said impatiently.
"Master Ben is now a parent official who is in charge of the people, how can he ignore such a thing." After Lewen finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Ding Ke'er, and went to Weiqiao County with Long Chao and Wu An'an.
"Hmph...... Rotten good person, a little Jiupin Sesame Official really takes himself seriously. Ding Ke'er looked at the figure of Lewen and the others going to the county office, stomped his foot a few times and muttered.
Le Wen and the four came to the door of the county ya, Lewen showed the inspector's seal to the officer, and said a few words to the officer, and the officer who guarded the door went to the lobby to inform the county master, and after a while, the officer ran to make a gesture of please and said: "Lu County Order has invited one person to the main hall to talk, please ......"
When he arrived at the main hall, the first thing Le Wen saw was a middle-aged man in a green robe sitting on the official chair in the main hall.
"Xiaguan Lewen, meet Lord Lu." Lewen stepped forward and bowed.
"No courtesy, Le Patrol looks like he can inspect Shanghai County at such a young age, and the future is terrifying, I don't know if you have something to do in this county?" Lu Xian Ling said with a smile.
"The adult has an overreputation, and when the lower official came to your county, he was just passing by, but the lower official has something unclear, and I hope that the adult will advise." Lewen smiled faintly and touched the wolf tooth on his chest.
"Oh, what's wrong with the Le Patrol?" Lu County ordered to be puzzled.
"I heard that a waste well was opened in your county a few days ago, and after opening this waste well, you sent two people down to do the final dredging, and after these two people went down, there was no news, I don't know if this matter is true?" Lewen glanced at Lu Xian Lingdao, who was brushing his mustache.
When Lu Xianling heard that Lewen was going to ask about this, his face changed slightly, and he was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "Hmm...... There is indeed such a thing, and the county doesn't know why, so it doesn't dare to send people down again to die in vain. ”
Le Wen confidently arched his hand and said: "Xia Guan thinks that there must be something strange in this matter, if the adults trust Xia Guan, Xia Guan is willing to take this risk, go down to the well to investigate, if you find the remains of these two people, send their remains out of the well, so that their dead souls can see the light of day, even if you can't find it, you have to see how the two of them died, you can't keep it in the dark all the time, in this case, the family will come, and they can't explain." ”
"How can this work, if there is something good about the Le inspection in your county, how can the county explain it to the above." When Lu Xianling heard Le Wen's words, he waved his hand again and again, but there was still a trace of expectation on his face.
"It's okay, the lower official can sign the note, if anything happens to the lower official, it has nothing to do with the adult, do you think it's okay?" Lewen smiled faintly.
Lu Xianling thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, since the Le Patrol is so chivalrous, then the county is not good to say anything, so please ask the Le Patrol to do this." ”
"Thank you, sir." Lewen arched his hand.
This Lu County Order is really afraid of wolves and tigers, but this is normal, the way to be an official is to act step by step, officialdom is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed.
Le Wen made a note, and went to the well that would eat people with Lu County Ling and his party of officials.
"Lewen, how can you do such a dangerous thing without the consent of this woman!" Ding Ke'er said angrily.
"Hehe, you call yourself a heroine, I am naturally a hero, of course it is incumbent upon me to encounter such a thing." Le Wen saw Ding Ke'er's angry appearance and smiled.
"Brother Wen, I want to go down with you." Long Chao saw that Lewen insisted on taking the risk of going down the well, and said with a worried face.
"No need, you help my brother pull the rope and don't let my brother fall halfway, haha." Lewen quipped.
Long Chao also knew what Le Wen wanted to do, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only nod in embarrassment and said, "If you have something, shout loudly." ”
"Call you big, don't worry, my brother will be fine." Lewen smiled faintly.
"Lewen, you idiot, fool ......." Ding Ke'er saw that Lewen didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, and scolded.
Before going down the well, Lu Xian Ling sent someone to find a strong rope, one end was tightly tied to Lewen's body, and the other end was left at the wellhead, pulled by Long Chao on it, before Lewen went down the well, he agreed to Long Chao: "If you see me pulling the rope quickly, you can quickly pull me up." ”
Long Chao nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Wen, don't worry." ”
When everything was ready, Lewen slowly slid down along the rope hanging at the mouth of the well, and the people outside saw the dark ancient well, like a monster with a long mouth, engulfing Lewen's body little by little, and couldn't help but sweat for Lewen.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement at the bottom of the well, Long Chao shouted anxiously into the well, but no one answered, the faces of the onlookers at the mouth of the well began to become solemn, and some people began to whisper together: "Could it be ...... The boy had already met ...... unforeseen circumstances. ”
