Chapter 85: Accountability
The Liang family is lifeless.
When Jiang heard the news of Su Yunran's fall off the cliff, his heart was ecstatic, but after the joy, he returned to calm.
Speaking of which, she just hates Su Yunran, she always can't get along with herself. Since she married Liang Hezhen, her life has become more and more panicked. To be honest, that girl didn't have any losses caused by the Liang family, but she just didn't like her.
It's okay to be dead now, anyway, she knows that the county magistrate's daughter is interesting to Liang Hezhen, and she has to make decisions about this. Anyway, now that Su Yun is dead, it's a good opportunity!
"Aunt Liang, let's have something to eat!" Ah Qing came out with a bowl of noodles, but Fu Mianniang shook her head and really didn't have any appetite.
After Su Yunran's accident, Lu Dalin rushed back to the village to find the village chief, and the village chief summoned the men in the village overnight to look for Su Yunran.
But in that case, how could it be possible to find someone. People who were submerged in an instant, where can they still find a trace.
The village chief led people to search for a day and a night, and the road was cleared, but Su Yunran was either buried too deep or had been washed away by the water. Anyway, she's dead, and that's what everyone agrees on.
Liang Erhai also sighed, this day was just a little hopeful, and it turned out that such a thing happened. When his son comes back, he still doesn't know how to explain?
If...... If he stopped her alive and dead, wouldn't there be an accident?
Ah Qing looked at the husband and wife like this, and she simply sprinkled salt on her wounds. Su Yunran went to the town to find her, if it wasn't for her, Su Yunran would not have left the village, let alone encountered the heavy rainstorm.
Ah Qing cried out and knelt in front of the two: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for my sister, it wouldn't have happened." I...... I'll take my life for my sister back! ”
As she spoke, she stood up and rushed to the pillar, Fu Mianniang screamed but it was too late for the pillar.
Ah Qing had the idea of paying for his life, and just when he was about to hit the pillar, he suddenly felt something entangled in his waist.
Before she had time to look down, she was violently dragged back by a force and fell directly to the ground.
Before fainting, she saw Liang Hezhen in green clothes sitting on a tall horse.
"Zhen'er......" Fu Mianniang looked at her son in a daze, and forgot all the words she had thought about before.
"Dad, mother, needless to say, I know everything." Liang Hezhen's face was surprisingly calm, as if Su Yunran's death had not brought him the slightest fluctuation. But the more this is the case, the more worried Fu Mianniang becomes.
"Zhen'er, don't be like this, don't bear it if it's uncomfortable. I'd rather you cry than pretend to be nothing. ”
Liang Hezhen shook his head: "Mother, I don't want to do useless things." ”
Fu Mianniang beat the drum in her heart, isn't this kid really drilling the horns?
"Although we haven't found anyone, but these days have passed, shouldn't we ...... Mourned? Fu Mianniang was a little unbearable, but wouldn't it be self-deceptive to pretend that Su Yunran wasn't dead?
Liang Hezhen shook his head: "Mother, I don't believe she is dead." She must still be alive, I'll go find her later. ”
It's over, and it's really a demon.
The most worrying problem still appeared, and I thought he really saw it, but I didn't expect to admit that she was dead at all.
"Zhen'er, the village chief took people to look for a day and a night under the river, and then walked along the river to a neighboring county. There was only one possibility, she was buried too deep to dig up. There's no hope of survival, and you have to accept that. Zhen'er, you look at your mother! ”
Fu Mianniang crossed Liang Hezhen's shoulder: "Child, don't forget who you are!" Don't forget what you're carrying! You can be sad for a while, but you must not be depressed, understand? ”
Fu Mianniang had never spoken to him with such a serious expression and tone, but Liang Hezhen smiled, he knew very well what he was doing: "Mother, I haven't forgotten, but I'm also serious, she must still be alive." ”
Liang Hezhen looked at Liang Erhai who was frowning again, and there were already a lot of wrinkles on his dark skin: "Father, mother, I'm not drilling the horns, I really feel that she is still alive." You don't understand, she's very human, and there's no way she's going to die so easily. ”
Fu Mianniang and Liang Erhai glanced at each other, looking at Liang Hezhen's state, he didn't look like a demon, but when he said this, people muttered.
What does it mean that she is very human? She's not a normal person, so who is she? Could it be that Jiang really wanted to suspect that Su Yunran was possessed by a fox demon?
Fu Mianniang shook her head, what was she thinking? How could she be like the Jiang family and make some mess of things?
Liang Erhai wanted to persuade a few words, but Fu Mianniang stopped him: "Zhen'er, then what are you going to do?" ”
If you suspect that she is still alive, you have to look for her. But the world is big, where do you want to find it?
Liang Hezhen paused, thought for a long time before speaking: "I will leave home for a while, and my father and mother don't have to worry about me." ”
Liang Erhai was very resolute this time: "No, the heart is in chaos in the world, who knows when the mountain bandits will appear?" ”
Liang Hezhen already had a plan in his heart, and the time was almost now, and the war in the north should be stopped. The price of grain will soon return to normal, and the imperial court will soon send troops to suppress bandits.
"This chaos will soon cease for a while, and I will take this opportunity to seek her. Whether I find it or not, I will come back as soon as possible. Liang Hezhen promised Fu Mianniang.
Just as he was talking, Lu Dalin also came.
Seeing that Liang Hezhen couldn't say anything, he knelt down directly. Liang Hezhen sighed lightly and helped him up: "Each of you has to pay for her life, but I think she is still alive." ”
Lu Dalin was stunned for a moment, and a glimmer of hope really rose in his heart. Then the light that flashed in his eyes soon became gray, and he thought, the eldest brother must not be able to accept this fact to deceive himself.
Liang Hezhen patted Lu Dalin's head: "Am I joking with you?" Brother, I may have to be away from home for a while, so I will ask you to take care of the family while I am away. ”
Lu Dalin said excitedly: "Big brother, are you going to find your sister-in-law?" Let me go with you! If there are a lot of people, maybe they will ......"
Liang Hezhen shook his head: "If you also leave, what will the people in the family do?" Leaving the old and weak, women and children must be protected by a strong and healthy person. ”
Lu Dalin lowered his head: "Big brother has a point, when do you plan to leave, big brother?" ”
Liang Hezhen was silent for a moment: "There are still some things that have not been completed in the yamen, and I will set off when I finish the things at hand." ”
Lu Dalin thought that Su Yunran had disappeared without a trace, where would he go to find it?
He didn't have time to ask, but Liang Hezhen spoke first: "You tell me, how happened that day, be specific." ”
Lu Dalin started talking about the deer lady falling on her head, and Liang Hezhen not only frowned when he heard the city gate closed.
If it is not wartime, the two main gates of one city must not be closed. Just to catch a fugitive? The whole city is understandably on guard, but closing the gates is definitely not something that anyone dares to do.
So, who ordered all the gates to be closed that day?
County office, backyard.
"You're just fooling around! Did you know that you must not close the gates except in time of war? Are you really giving such an order to capture the fugitives, or do you have other selfish motives? ”
After the county magistrate came back from the state capital, he heard about the previous closure of the city gate, not to mention that Master Zhang specially sent someone to reprimand him.
"I've really spoiled you for making you so lawless! Do you know that in this Hongyang, your father and I are not the king! Do you know who that Bowen is? He was originally a close minister of the emperor, and was later appointed as the assassin of Linzhou. Although he has now returned to his hometown, the emperor still gave him a token. Even if you are not in the temple, you can still use that token to remove local officials. ”
Ouyang Jing said angrily, and being reprimanded was already the best ending. Fortunately, this old man has to be forgiving and forgiving, and this matter is not stabbed upward, otherwise whether he can keep this black gauze hat will have to be said separately.
Ouyang Langshu's face showed no remorse, in fact, she was listening to what Ouyang Jing said at all. All she thought about was that Su Yun was dyed, but she didn't expect that even God was helping her.
She just wanted to try her luck, and closed the gates of the city awake and told her to go back later, so that she might be able to meet her at a time when the bandits were rampant.
It's a pity that the bandits didn't let her encounter it, but it doesn't matter that the heavy rain that day was also unexpected by her. Su Yunran could only admit that she was unlucky, this rain was not let by her.
"Langshu! Are you listening to me? This time, you tell me clearly, why did you do this? Ouyang Jing couldn't understand, his daughter had always been very measured, but why did she mess around this time?
Ouyang Langshu turned his head: "Dad, I didn't think about it that much at the time, the prisoner kidnapped me, I just wanted to ......"
Ouyang Jing waved his hand to stop her from continuing: "You are my daughter, I can see if you are lying." I want to hear the truth, and if you tell me these words, you don't have to. ”
Ouyang Langshu knew that he couldn't deceive his father, and he also knew that he had to ask for an answer today: "Dad, you will promise me whatever I want from childhood to adulthood, won't you?" ”
Ouyang Jing looked at his daughter directly, as if he wanted to see through her inner thoughts from her eyes: "Langshu, does your sealing of the city gate have anything to do with Liang Hezhen?" ”
Ouyang Jing had a bad premonition, and immediately called someone over to inquire if something happened to Liang Hezhen's house.
Ouyang Langshu laughed: "Father doesn't need to ask, it was Su Yun who died." ”
Ouyang Jing frowned, what did this daughter do in the past few days when he was away?
"Langshu! What else did you do? Is he Liang Hezhen at the mercy of others? If I let him know that his wife's death had something to do with you, I don't know what he would do! ”
Ouyang Jing slapped the table angrily, although Ouyang Langshu chuckled in her heart, she still maintained a calm look on her face: "Dad, do you want to talk nonsense." Su Yunran's death was due to her bad luck, and on the way back, she encountered a heavy rainstorm, and the mudslide just washed down and buried her. Dad, I can't control the weather, how can this be pulled on me? ”
