Chapter 89: Death

But Si Linche looked at so many people, although he was also infected by this atmosphere, he was still a little reserved and reluctant to go up.

Just when he hesitated, he suddenly saw a figure flashing, and when the figure stopped, he saw that it was Hou Yi.

As soon as he entered, he immediately interacted with Yun Genggeng, and for a while the two were singing and dancing.

Si Yi, who saw this scene on the side, felt a little good at the moment, and then only felt that his scalp was numb.

This is going to be a big deal!

Turning his head to look at his young master again, it was not surprising that his face had turned black into ink.

Seeing this scene, Si Linche no longer hesitated, raised his leg and immediately walked to Yun Genggeng's side, inadvertently blocking Hou Yi aside.

Yun Genggeng lowered his head and showed an inexplicable smile, raised his hand to take Si Linche's hand and began to sing and dance together.

Si Linche naturally saw her smile and understood her little plan.

I laughed a little in my heart, but I just let Yun Geng pull me to dance.

And Hou Yi, who was "used", had to touch his nose and exit a little gloomy.

But there was still a smile on his face.

"Ah, dead, dead." In the midst of the joy, a frightened scream was heard not far away.

The crowd was immediately attracted by the frightened screams and looked back at the place where the screams had come from.

I saw a woman sitting on the ground, trembling with one hand pointing in the direction of the well.

It turned out to be a homeless person who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks after eating, and saw a floating corpse in the well.

Yun Geng and the three of them walked quickly to the well, and Si Linche subconsciously reached out to protect her behind him.

She was stunned for a moment, understanding that Si Linche didn't want to see the terrifying picture herself, so she stopped and didn't step forward.

After only a short while, Hou Yi had already organized the displaced people, and quickly got the corpse up from the well.

Someone shouted, "Ah, it's the village chief." ”

Soon a woman ran out of the crowd and threw herself on the corpse crying.

"Boss, why did you go all of a sudden, what can we do with our orphans and widows?"

The woman wept so badly that she almost fainted from crying several times.

Yun Genggeng's face couldn't bear it, and he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull the woman up.

"Madam, now is not the time to be sad, the most important thing now is to find out the cause of the village chief's death and let him be buried as soon as possible."

Hearing Yun Geng's words, the woman held back her grief and spoke.

"Miss Yun, my father-in-law is the village chief of Eucalyptus Village in the lower reaches of the river."

"When the flood came a few days ago, our village was the first to be flooded because of the low terrain."

"Xianggong organized the villagers to leave and go to Gao as soon as possible, so that although the houses in our village were destroyed, there were no casualties."

"Yesterday, the prime minister said that he wanted to go back to the village to see the situation, but today I haven't seen him come back, and I thought about looking for him later, but I didn't expect that people would die in this well."

After saying this, the woman could not help but weep again.

"Don't cry at the village chief's house, people can't be resurrected after death, mourn." A villager stepped forward to comfort him.

"Yes, the people are gone, and now the important thing is that the living people are well." Another village name also spoke up to comfort him.

"The village chief's family, don't worry, what the village chief does to everyone, everyone knows in their hearts, as long as we have a bite to eat in the future, we won't be hungry for your mother and son."

"Yes......" Many villagers stood up and comforted their mothers.

At this time, the official who Yun Geng sent Fan Tong to invite had already brought him over.

He examined the body on the spot and finally came to a conclusion.

The village chief was knocked unconscious and thrown into a well and drowned.

Hearing the results of the inquest, the lady fainted directly from crying.

But it didn't take long for him to faint before he was woken up by everyone again.

At this time, the people who had a holiday with the village chief on weekdays were all gathered, and they all looked at the official with horror on their faces, and a few of them kept shouting that they were wronged.

These people are just some scoundrels in the village on weekdays, saying that they are celebrating festivals, but they are not so much people who disobey the village rules and discipline and have been reprimanded by the village chief.

And Yun Geng looked at the people from the government who were already dealing with this matter, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

Before he turned around, he was pulled by the village chief's daughter-in-law behind him.

"Miss Yun, please help me."

Yun Genggen looked at the village chief's daughter-in-law and said, "The people from the government have already come, and I can't do anything here." ”

"But, Miss Yun, the little woman thinks that the people in this official mansion should also investigate." The village chief's daughter-in-law said with a frightened look on her face.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Yun Genggeng was shocked for a moment and asked.

"Yesterday, the county magistrate told the Xianggong that the people in our village all lived in the official house, and a lot of money was subsidized for the official house yamen, and the Xianggong should organize everyone to pay the money."

"But Xianggong knows that everyone is running out of their homes in a hurry, not to mention that after the flood has passed, they will need to buy house furniture with two silver, so that the silver will be spent, and they will really be adrift in the future."

"So the prime minister was unwilling, who knew that he quarreled with the county officials like this, and was almost beaten by the officials."

After saying this, the village chief's wife stopped, and just looked up at Yun Geng with tears.

"That being the case, the county magistrate should also be investigated."

Yun Geng squinted at the official on the side before he continued, "After all, the state official set the fire and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. ”

Seeing Yun Geng looking at himself, the official immediately roared viciously, "Idle people, wait for it, leave quickly, and be less nosy here." ”

At this time, Si Linche, who had been standing beside Yun Genggeng, immediately strode forward and said coldly.

"This matter involves the yamen, and now you are in such a hurry to drive people away, are you empty-hearted?"

The official naturally knew Si Linche, and even knew that the Si family behind him was not something that he could afford to offend, so he didn't speak at the moment.

Seeing that the officials were silent, the courage of the displaced people also increased, and they all shouted for the county officials to come over for investigation.

Everyone is not stupid, if this matter is really related to the Yamen, and this matter is not dealt with while Si Linche and the others are there, then this matter will definitely be over.

But this is not a trivial matter, but a human life.

Seeing the excitement of the displaced people, the officials had to agree to send someone to the yamen to invite the county officials.

Si Linche, who was standing aside and didn't speak, suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

Tilting his head slightly, he found that Hou Yi, who was not very popular with him.

So he asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter?" ”

He twisted his shoulders as he spoke.

Hou Yi didn't care, he just opened his mouth to ask.

"Now there are a lot of displaced people, and this matter is a major matter of human life, and the people in the county government are suspicious, and the displaced people may not listen to their arrangements."

"I have something to do now, and I need to be away for a while."

"I have to worry that Brother Si must control the scene, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause a riot."

"I have a plan in my heart." Si Linche knew in his heart that what he said was the truth, and of course he thought of it.

But when he thought of the way he interacted with Yun Genggen before, he still didn't want to say anything more to him.

He would never admit that he was jealous.

Seeing that Si Linche agreed, Hou Yi took a deep look at the situation in the crowd again, and then turned to leave.
