Chapter 170: Refugees

Su Yunran had to praise: "Xianggong is really wise and martial!" ”

Lan Xi didn't dare to look at the two of them, but Liang Hezhen looked at him: "Do you know now?" ”

Su Yunran stuck out his tongue, this man really couldn't help but praise!

A few days after leaving Hongyang, the snow became heavier and heavier. Fortunately, Su Yunran prepared in advance, and prepared a few more clothes to protect against the cold, and naturally Lanxi and Lanshan were indispensable.

"Fortunately, Lanshan is about the same size as Xianggong, otherwise I am afraid that this padded jacket will not be able to be worn." Su Yunran saw that Lan Shan was wearing a new cotton jacket that fit very well, and he had to boast about his vision.

However, Liang Hezhen on the side was a little unhappy, saying that this new padded jacket was for him, and there was a pattern customized for him by Su Yunran on it.

Su Yunran turned around and met his resentful eyes, Su Yunran cleared his throat and said, "I'll make you a few more clothes when I go back, okay?" ”

"Madame's craftsmanship is so good, even though it is dry food, it can be soft in this weather, it's amazing!" Lan Shan ate the dry food made by Su Yunran and kept praising him.

Dry food is just for the sake of filling the stomach, which has nothing to do with deliciousness.

"Bear with me, you will be able to enter Yuanxiang Town in a few hours. We've pretty much eaten the dry food we've brought, so it's time to stop and recuperate. Liang Hezhen looked at the map and said.

Yuanxiang Town, when they arrived, it was when the snow was falling. Locals say it's the heaviest snow in nearly two decades.

The snow was blowing and it was knee-deep. The carriage entered the inn, and Xiao Er was very enthusiastic to help them lead the horses: "Are the guest officers beating the tip or staying in the hotel?" ”

Liang Hezhen took out two taels of silver: "Three upper rooms." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and didn't take the silver: "I'm sorry, a room is ten taels of silver a night." ”

Su Yunran's eyes widened: "What! Ten taels of silver in an upper room, why don't you go and grab it? ”

The shopkeeper touched his beard: "Look at what you said, look at the snow outside, how many caravans passing by the caravan can't go." Now the inns in the entire Yuanxiang Town are in short supply, so there is no way to adjust the price appropriately. ”

Su Yunran tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Isn't this just sitting on the ground and starting the price?" It's so fresh and refined. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and was not annoyed: "Anyway, there are only three upper rooms left, if you don't live in it, hehe, someone will rush to live in it soon." ”

As if confirming the words of the shopkeeper, there was really a group of businessmen dressed in the Western Regions outside. If the road is closed due to heavy snowfall, then accommodation is really a problem.

"Thirty taels, hurry up!" It seemed that everything was expected by the shopkeeper, and he smiled at the silver and beckoned Xiao Er to show them the way.

Su Yunran threw down another ten taels of silver: "Prepare a table of wine and food for us to send over, we want good tea, good wine, good meat and good vegetables, and we must be worthy of this price!" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Don't worry, our chef's skills are first-class." However, we have a charcoal fire downstairs, so it is warmer for everyone to eat downstairs, and the wine and food will not cool down too quickly. ”

Su Yunran thought that when she returned to Hongyang, she would have to find a blacksmith to make a copper stove hot pot and a mandarin duck pot, it was really uncomfortable not to eat hot pot in this kind of weather.

"Okay, you guys are ready first, and call us when you're ready."

This so-called upper room is also a little shabby, but fortunately, it does not leak rain or wind. Xiao Er quickly brought a pot of hot tea: "Guest officer, there is bad news to inform you, the road is closed by heavy snow outside the city." The government is a decent person to dredge, and it is estimated that it will not be able to leave for the past two days. ”

Xiao Er said that it was bad news, but his face was full of smiles.

Ten taels a night, this delay for a few more nights can not go, just these few days of hard work can let the shopkeeper in the past year of the performance in a few days.

After eating, he asked Lanshan to inquire about the road closure, so Su Yunran and Lanxi went to buy a lot of ingredients to make some dry food.

And Liang Hezhen went to a ruined temple.

"Come out!"

Liang Hezhen turned around, and behind him stood a tall young man, dressed in black, with a row of flying knives pinned to his waist: "Qianyin has seen the Lord!" ”

"Is there any movement in the imperial court recently?" Although he left Hong Yang, the situation in Chaozhong changed rapidly, and he must know it well.

"Aside from the disaster in the north, there is no major event. The mission of the country has also left, and according to the itinerary, it should have returned to the country today. The preliminary alliance has been reached, and Chang Qingguo originally wanted to take advantage of the snow disaster in the north to make some moves, but now that the two countries have formed an alliance, he has not acted rashly. ”

Qianyin added: "The county lord of Jinglan has stayed in the capital and has been named Concubine Jing. Other than that...... I just received a message that a large household in Linzhou was wiped out overnight. This case is weird, and it is full of people, but there is no shortage of belongings in the family. ”

Liang Hezhen was a little strange, these messy information Qian Yin would usually help him sift through before reporting. Why did you tell him about such a case that had nothing to do with him today?

"Maybe it's just revenge, not money."

Qian Yin shook his head: "Later, the government rescued a subordinate in the pile of dead people, and according to that subordinate person, it was a group of very powerful people. There were only about a dozen people, but it took less than half a pillar of incense to destroy the whole house, about more than 120 people. ”

Liang Hezhen shook his head: "What do you want to say?" ”

Qian Yin hesitated for a moment before saying, "According to the description of the next person, that group of murderers seems to be looking for someone. The other party took a golden hairpin and asked about the whereabouts of the owner of the golden hairpin, and the next person vaguely heard his master say that the golden hairpin was won in Hongyang's Hengbao gambling house ten years ago. ”

Liang Hezhen became alert at this time, and Jin Hai ...... Hong Yang...... Hanbao Casino......

"That eyewitness saw the golden hairpin?"

Qianyin said: "The shape is unique, like a phoenix, very luxurious, not like a folk thing." There are only so many clues at the moment, but do you need to follow up? ”

Liang Hezhen nodded: "Well, send someone to check it out." Hong Yang's gambling house appeared in the gold hairpin that was not a folk thing, and I don't know what else would be involved. ”

The thousand invisible figures disappeared in a flash, and Liang Hezhen was still standing in the ruined temple muttering to himself. In addition to the golden hairpin he gave to Su Yunran, I am afraid that he will not be able to find the second palace thing. But where did the golden hairpin that caused a tragedy come from?

Su Yunran bought a lot of things, and gave the shopkeeper five taels of silver to borrow it from the kitchen.

Lan Xi was indignant: "This shopkeeper is really too much, I have never seen such a good price." ”

Su Yunran rubbed his face but said with a smile: "I think this shopkeeper is already good." When we were shopping for groceries on West Street, I heard the shopkeeper of another inn shouting that the price had reached 30 taels a night. It seems that this heavy snow is too much for people, and we can only pray that it will not be delayed for too long. ”

Lanshan also inquired back, and the heavy snow outside the city had buried a village, and now the county order was also anxious. There are not enough people, and it will take three days to clear the road.

And the snow is still falling, which is even more difficult to estimate.

At night, Liang Hezhen took out the map: "If it really doesn't work, we can only turn around and take this road." It's a little farther away, but it's better than being stuck here all the time. ”

Su Yunran nodded and gave him a big coat: "This heavy snow continues, I estimate that many refugees will enter the city tomorrow." In this kind of weather, there must be a lot of people catching a cold, I want to ......"

Before Su Yunran finished speaking, Liang Hezhen pulled her over and sat down: "Okay, as long as you want, I will accompany you." ”

Su Yunran leaned on his shoulder, and the temperature around her neck made her very relieved.

In the middle of the night, everything is silent, only the snow is still falling.

Su Yun slept unsteadily, as if he had fallen into a nightmare.

Blood, blood everywhere. She stood outside the window, her eyes hazy, and she rubbed her eyes vigorously but still couldn't see clearly. But she could clearly smell the thick smell of blood, and she tried hard to open the window, but it was closed.

She banged hard against the window, finally knocking it open. But before she could see what was going on in the room, a sticky, thick, warm liquid splashed on her eyes.

She hurriedly wiped it, opened her eyes and finally saw the situation in the room clearly.

"Ah......" Su Yunran exclaimed in surprise, looking at the corpses in the room and retreating again and again. This...... This is...... Su family!

"Lady! Wake up, lady! Su Yunran woke up from the nightmare suddenly, only to find that he was already covered in a cold sweat.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare. It seems that this dream has been haunting you, and this trip to the Moon Dust Country is really a must-go. Liang Hezhen hugged her and patted her on the back gently, but he didn't know that she had a real nightmare tonight.

Su Yunran didn't explain, leaning on his chest and gradually calming down.

Strange, why do you have such a nightmare? In the dream, the Su family is dead, and the flesh and blood are blurred.

Dreams are all reversed, right?

Su Yunran slowed down for a long time and finally fell asleep in his arms, but before dawn, he heard a commotion on the street.

Liang Hezhen got up to check, and as soon as the window opened, the wind and snow immediately poured in. Then, in the bright light, Liang Hezhen saw that the streets were full of fleeing refugees under the eaves.

It seems that these people should be villagers outside the city, and the heavy snow has buried the village, so they have nowhere to go and can only enter the city.

It will depend on how the county order is arranged, and the temporary shelter does not know if it can accommodate so many people. And it was really said by Su Yunran, most of these people were sick.

Although he was a little worried about being infected, he also knew Su Yunran's true heart as a doctor. He wanted to stop it, but he couldn't bear to stop it, so he could only be by her side as much as possible to remind her to be careful.

"Xianggong, why is it so noisy outside?" Su Yunran woke up vaguely.

"It's the villagers outside the city who have been affected."

"I wonder how the prefectural order will arrange for them? It's not a good idea to keep them on the street all the time, not to mention the possibility of robbery if you obstruct traffic. ”

"The county government won't care about this situation, just wait, someone will definitely take care of it later."

Su Yunran still got up, so many people were cold, all she could do was to help cook as much medicine as possible.
