Gradually, as time passed, the woman's physical strength became more and more exhausted, and a look of grievance began to appear on her face, which made the restless governor on the side feel compassion and wanted to take it into his arms with pity.

Kick ~ kick ~

There was a sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer, so that the governor's thoughts were not put into action, and a trace of anger crossed his face. Soon, a figure appeared in the back office, the two reacted differently, the woman was pleasantly surprised, the grievance disappeared in an instant, and she stepped forward happily, but the governor frowned again and again, very disgusted with the person who came.

"Brother, where have you been going these days, and you don't come to visit your brother-in-law and me, you have no conscience, my sister loves you in vain."

"Sister, hasn't my brother been busy lately? I have too much business to take a break to visit you and my brother-in-law. ”

At this time, the governor's face was gloomy and terrible, he snorted coldly, pursed his lips, and said quietly: "Hmph, busy with business? Is collusion with pirates your business? Is it your business to have pirates kidnap officials? It's also your business to go to the tooth every day to have nothing to do? Say, how many more such 'business's do you have, I don't know? ”

In an instant, Li Lianying was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, her body trembled like chaff, her face was like earth, she dragged the woman's dress, and said again and again: "Brother-in-law, I didn't do these things, all the rumors outside are rumors, and they are all bad people who deliberately slander me, brother-in-law, don't believe their evil words and attacks, I really didn't do these things, and I have always been honest either at home or at the customs office." ”

At this time, hearing her husband's cold questioning, although he was asking, it was full of affirmation, and the wise woman seemed to understand what these questions meant, and out of her brother's heart, she hurriedly begged: "My lord, Lian Ying will not do such a thing, you have to believe him." ”

For the woman's plea, the governor was unmoved, and slowly came to Li Lianying's side, staring coldly with cold eyes, but calmed down in anger, and said again and again: "Believe you? Do you make me believe you when I'm a fool? I have seen everything that has happened in Guangzhou recently, do you still think I will believe it? ”

Then, the governor ceased to question, and walked away angrily, his steps rattling through the back. There was a dull aura in the air, lingering, making the woman and Li Lianying panic in their hearts.

Gradually, the woman turned sideways expressionlessly, very disappointed, staring directly at Li Lianying, although the words were plain, but full of turbulence, and asked calmly: "Are all the things that the master said true?" ”

Li Lianying looked up at this sister who loved her and spoiled him in the past, and wanted to quibble, but she didn't know why, she sighed insincerely: "I don't want to be like this either, he forced me~"

At this moment, the woman was struck by lightning, and her whole body was weakly paralyzed to the ground, silent for a long time, she didn't expect her brother to do such a thing, and finally dropped a sentence and returned to the bedroom, her words were pale and without the slightest emotion.

"You go, I don't want to see you again."

"Sister, just forgive me this time, don't dare again, I'll listen to you in the future."

Li Lianying only had time to say this, the woman had disappeared, leaving Li Lianying kneeling on the ground, with a look of regret on her face, and a trace of unwillingness mixed in.

In the end, Li Lianying left and walked out of the governor's yamen, the whole person seemed to have lost her soul, and she returned home in a hurry, ignoring anyone.

Near the Pearl River Wharf in Guangzhou Prefecture, a group of improvised thatched huts lined up at the site of the last fire. Although the last fire was mainly on the river and the land was not large, it also burned down many houses. Not only that, but most of the people in this settlement have fled here, and their hometowns have been slaughtered by pirates, and their relatives have been killed.

The sun was setting, the sunset was pervasive, and the splendor was shining, but in this village, the atmosphere was so oppressive, there was a hatred brewing, intensifying, and the conversation was very intense, resentful, and full of extreme feelings.

"Folks, something big has happened in the city recently, do you know?"

Immediately, the lively countrymen gathered around, and seeing what the man said was mysterious, he was suddenly whetted by his appetite, and his eyes were shining staring at the person who spoke, and he was very itchy, and immediately urged together.

"Let's talk about it quickly, what the hell is going on, looking at your chattering appearance, is there a female ghost?"

"Do you remember the officer who was kidnapped by pirates the other day? Came back two days ago and didn't get hurt. Rumor has it that he was kidnapped by his opponent, don't you think it's strange? ”

"Hey, why do you think it's going on? Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair, we don't care about this. ”

The sighs and ridicule of the crowd suddenly made the man speechless for a while, speechless, and his face turned red. At this time, someone threw out words, as if they were explaining, and they seemed to be mending.

"Don't say that the official came back alive, even if he was ravaged and died, and the body was thrown on the river, we don't think it's strange, our county must not kill a few officials that year, and an official came back alive from the hands of pirates, as for the one who made you fuss, Bai was nervous and unlucky."

Seeing that the crowd that had just gathered was about to disperse, the man couldn't care about the cynicism of others, and hurriedly said: "Hey, don't go, that's just the beginning, the show is behind, if it's really just an official who comes back alive, I won't mention it, as for being embarrassed here?" ”

The departing crowd slowed down and looked at the man with suspicion, and one of them shouted, "I will believe you again, and tell me, what is it?" ”

One of them responded and walked over, and the others also gathered around in twos and threes, gathered together again, and waited for the following.

"I think you should remember the fire in the Pearl River, right?"

Everyone nodded in unison, after all, the place they were in made them unforgettable, and there was a hatred buried in their hearts, always remembered.

"Let me tell you, I got information from the city, after the fire, there was a pirate attack to disrupt the clean-up after the disaster, and that group of pirates was made by the opponent of the kidnapped official, just to reach an agreement to kidnap people, just like Shangliangshan's name."

In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar, and some of the people's relatives were killed by pirates who were in charge of cleaning up the river. At this moment, the anger in their chests rushed upward, their hands clenched white, and their joints creaked.

"After the man made an agreement with the pirates, he really succeeded in kidnapping the official, but somehow the man escaped, unharmed, and on the day he returned, he met the man, who was making trouble in the official's office."

"This head collision, of course, is the tip of the needle against the wheat mang, not the same as each other, that person can only retreat in the end, and become the laughing stock of Guangzhou Mansion."

"To tell you the truth, according to the information I inquired, the matter is far from simple, and it involves the confrontation of the three powerful figures in our Guangdong Province. It's a pity that it's us who suffer."

The man couldn't go on, because he suddenly found that the surroundings were quiet and scary, he had been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, most of the people's faces were very ugly, their eyes were almost angry with fire, and they immediately shrank their necks and looked at everyone in horror.

At this time, a big man walked in from the periphery, full of terrifying aura, pushed away everyone, came to the man's side, looked grim, and asked coldly: "Say, who is colluding with pirates?" ”

The man suddenly felt that the air around him was rapidly declining, and he knew that if he didn't give the other party a satisfactory answer, there would be no good fruit to eat, so he immediately replied: "Li Lianying from the Customs Department." ”

The big man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a momentum burst out of his body in an instant, which made the man sweat cold and tremble.

"Hero, hero, spare life, spare life, what I said is true. As long as you go to the city and inquire, no one does not know about him, it is the governor's brother-in-law, and no one knows about him. ”

As soon as he collected the momentum on his body, he pushed away the crowd and strode away, his steps sonorous and powerful. Gradually, the crowd dispersed, leaving the man slumped on the ground, still terrified. (To be continued.) )
