Chapter 85 The Death of Du Yuyan 4
After the subordinates wiped Du Yuyan's body clean, Yeluqi and his entourage went through the previous events again......
This time, Du Yuyan closed her eyes and didn't wake up again.
Du Yuyan was only twenty-eight years old, and when she died, her face was like that of Lao Suo, which was really difficult for ordinary people to distinguish.
Yeluqi also did a hasty deal with Du Yuyan's body, and dug a deep pit on the spot and buried it on the spot.
Originally, Du Yuyan was already dead in the Qin Mansion, so naturally no one cared about the so-called Princess Jing'an.
Only Qin Muyu was still worried about letting Du Yuyan do things for him, but he didn't know that she had been tortured to death on the way to Khitan.
……
Liu Chunyan and Lu Siguan came to the scene of the incident again, and when she came this time, she saw two people burning incense and worshipping in front of the ruins from a distance.
Seeing someone coming, the two hurriedly put away the sacrificial supplies that had been placed on the ground, intending to leave.
"Wait a minute." Liu Chunyan shouted to stop the two.
She looked at the two people in front of her, they were ragged and their skin was dry and rough, and she could tell at a glance that these two people should be your farmer nearby.
Although the two heard Liu Chunyan's shout, they did not stop, but accelerated their pace and walked more urgently.
Seeing this, Lu Siguan felt that there must be something wrong with the two in front of him, otherwise he would not be so sneaky, so he flew in front of the two of them with light skills and blocked the way of the two.
"Please stay, we have something to inquire about." Lu Siguan said softly.
The farmer's face was very nervous, Lu Siguan didn't say what was going on, and the two of them said directly, "I don't know, I don't know......
The two bypassed Lu Siguan in front of them, but still wanted to leave, but were stopped by Lu Siguan.
Liu Chunyan and Nangong Yi behind them also slowly caught up and asked, "Are the two of you locals?" ”
Liu Chunyan's face was much gentler than Lu Siguan's, and the two of them nodded hesitantly and replied, "We are from the next village, and we don't know anything." ”
Liu Chunyan smiled and continued, "We didn't say anything, what the hell don't you know?" ”
As soon as Liu Chunyan said this, the two farmers were speechless for a long time, and the expressions on their faces became more and more panicked.
Nangong Yi didn't say a word on the side, and carefully observed the two.
After a while, the two farmers saw that they could not escape, so they said bluntly, "We are just here to worship the deceased, and we have not done anything else, so let the old men let us go." ”
Faced with the pleading of the two farmers in front of her, Liu Chunyan was taken aback at first, and then slowly became nervous, feeling that this matter was not simple.
"You two know us?" Liu Qingyan asked with a smile.
The two farmers shook their heads at the same time, "How can we, the mountain villagers, have the opportunity to get acquainted with the big man." ”
"We didn't tell you who we are, how do we know that we are what you call the big man?" Liu Chunyan was very curious why these two people wanted to run away when they saw her.
"A few of them are dressed like this, as well as the voice they just spoke, as soon as we hear it, we know that the three big masters must be from Jingshi, and the people from Jingshi are not big masters or what?" The farmer continued.
Liu Chunyan couldn't imagine that the two little farmers in front of her could judge that she was from the capital just by the clothes on her body, and there seemed to be something strange here.
"Is there any difference in the dress in the capital, I think it is similar to the dress of the people in Meixian County?" Lu Siguan spoke first.
"The three of them don't know, although this Mei County is small, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, but this Mei County has a big official in the capital, and there are many people from the capital who come to this Mei County every year, so I can guess at a glance that you are from the Beijing Division." The farmer was no longer as nervous as he had been at the beginning.
"I didn't expect you to have a farmer in this little country." Nangong Yi was also sighing.
"Then why do you want to run away when you see us, and we don't eat people." Liu Chunyan then asked.
At this time, one of the farmers hesitated a little, but finally spoke, "We are also forced to do so, I have told you this, but we must not tell others that it was the two of us." ”
"We are the ones who keep our promises, and I promise you." Liu Chunyan stabilized the emotions of the two first.
"Actually, just now we are worshipping a brother from his own far house, he was burned to death in the fire at home half a year ago, and it will be the New Year in a few days, thinking that no one will come to burn some paper in the early morning, both of us are responsible people, and we have not done anything else." The farmer whispered.
The more these two people talked, the more confused they became, this is nothing to burn paper money for their relatives, why did the two of them hide so much, and why were they so scared after seeing themselves.
What's more, Liu Chunyan, Lu Siguan, Nangong Yi and others have never been here, let alone seen these two farmers.
"It turns out that you are relatives of this family, we are indeed from the capital, but we met a beggar in the capital, she said that her family lives here, she said that her home suffered a fire, we sympathize with her and want to come here to repair her house." Nangong Yi said.
Hearing Nangong Yi say this, Liu Chunyan glanced at him, very curious, he was obviously here to investigate the case, why did he say that.
Lu Siguan on the side of him certainly understood the meaning of Nangong Yi's words, but he did not break it.
Hearing Nangong Yi's words, the two farmers suddenly became enthusiastic, and said with a smile, "So that's the case, it turns out that I misunderstood the three of them." ”
Liu Chunyan smiled, "I don't know how the two of you misunderstood us?" ”
The farmer looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he took two steps closer to Liu Chunyan and whispered, "It's hard for me to say this, it's going to kill people if it goes out, and it's better for the three of you not to know." ”
"I see, it turns out that the beggar in the capital still has some hidden feelings, but since the two of you don't want to say, we won't ask anymore, but we came here yesterday, and the neighborhood is desolate, and there are no farmhouses, I don't know if we can go to the two of them to rest and ask for a bowl of water to drink?"
Seeing that the two farmers insisted repeatedly, Liu Chunyan did not ask directly, but adopted a roundabout tactic.
These two simple farmers, seeing that the three came all the way from the capital, and it was for the sake of their relatives, they immediately agreed.
"The two of us can't ask for it, this day is slowly brightening, this place is also a place of right and wrong, it is better to go to my house to talk." After speaking, the two farmers took Liu Chunyan and his party on the way home.
After walking for nearly half an hour, they arrived at the farmer's house.
The farmer's family has no children or daughters, but these two depend on each other for their lives, and the family is very simple.
"A few people sit down and rest for a while, and I asked my wife to boil water and make tea for a few guests." The farmer said with a smile.
After a while, hot water was brought, and he made tea and said, "My family is very poor, and there are only a few people who are served with crude tea, so don't dislike it." ”
Liu Qingyan sniffed the fragrance of tea on the table, and then said with a smile, "The tea in this farmhouse is much more fragrant, it is already a rare thing, and the two of you are really polite." ”
"I don't know what the beggars in the capital you say look like?" The peasant woman standing by suddenly spoke.
Liu Chunyan then recounted the appearance of the plaintiff to the two farmers, and after listening to them, the two farmers hugged each other and cried.
"It's all said, let her stop dwelling on that matter, just don't listen, and now it's ruining the family, hey...... Who can this be said with? The farmer sighed.
Hearing this, Liu Chunyan then asked, "You seem to have an off-string sound, I don't know what happened to this farmhouse that made the two of you so sad and angry?" ”
On the way home, the two farmers had already talked to Liu Chunyan all the way, naturally they were not as angry as when they first met, and those words were really held back in their hearts for too long, Liu Chunyan asked, and the farmer spoke directly.
"Life is hard, it's really hard, it's a good family, just because the county bully fell in love with his family's good land, he took the family's savings for 20 years to buy this good land from the landlord's family, and the good days are coming, but it's a pity ......" The farmer said as he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, his face full of helplessness.
Liu Chunyan had also experienced this helplessness, and she understood what the farmer was thinking at this time.
"Don't be too sad, it's a thing of the past, let's take your time and listen." Liu Chunyan said softly.
"It's not because the bullies in the county took a fancy to his family's fertile land and wanted to take it for themselves, but he naturally refused, and then he was burned alive one night when he slept at home, and his bones were gone." The farmer continued.
Liu Chunyan already knew about this matter, she mainly wanted to ask about the county order and the bullies, so she then asked, "Such a big matter, have you reported it to the official, let the government deal with it." ”
"Hahaha...... Report to the official, of course, it is to report to the official, but this bully is not an ordinary person, they have distant relatives who are big officials in the capital, and in the end the government colluded with the bully, and the matter was suppressed, and there was only an old woman in her fifties left in the family, and then she was nowhere to be found, it should be the beggar she saw a few times. ”
After listening to what the farmer said, the three of them instantly burned with anger in their chests, but in order to get more detailed information about the case, they still suppressed the anger in their hearts.
"This Lang Lang Qiankun actually has such a thing without royal law, have the two officials of this capital ever seen it?" Lu Siguan opened his mouth and asked.
The two farmers shook their heads, "But I have seen the housekeeper of the big official's family, and every time he comes to Meixian to deal with this matter, the Meixian county order is very polite to him, and every time he sends a lot of gold and silver treasures to that person." ”
"Have you ever seen the butler with your own eyes?" Liu Chunyan hurriedly asked, this question is too important to her, as long as there are people who are the housekeepers of the Lu Mansion, and Lu Guozheng colludes with the county order to murder the appointment, she can sit down.
"Met once, on the third day after the bully set the fire."
"Then do you two remember what that man looked like, or can you still recognize the butler when you see him again?" Liu Chunyan then asked.
