Chapter 11: Contemplation

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Su Huai'an couldn't relax, and still refused, "No! Big Beard! You don't know how dangerous Riverside is in the province! ”

She tried to make everyone retreat in a row with three sentences, but unexpectedly, everyone did not retreat but advanced.

"My lord! One life, one death, and another twenty years is a good man! If the people along the river are all dead, even if we go underground, we will have no shame to see the people's fathers and elders, and most of the people in the gang are from the riverside house! ”

"Yes, my lord, how do we see our father!"

Everyone responded and knelt down in unison.

Su Huai'an looked at the people reflecting the lights, her eyes were bright, she really couldn't refuse, she only thought that she shouldn't put everyone in a dangerous situation, she knew that she should have died once in the Ji family extermination case more than ten years ago, and now that she has lived for many more years, she has already made up her mind in her heart to get rid of the evil forces along the river, if she wants to find out the threads behind this, she has to sort out this pile of messy lines, but how can she bear to implicate people who have nothing to do with this matter.

Su Huai'an hurriedly went to pull the beard and got up, "Brother beard, don't embarrass me." ”

The bearded man held Su Huai'an with his big hand, "Lord Su, the villain never dares to disobey the adult, but now, the villain has to beg the adult, don't drive the little ones away, my brothers and I have made up our minds on the way here, if the adults don't agree, we won't get up." ”

Su Huai'an's brows furrowed, and she only walked around the room, but she really advised, "Don't think I'm scaring you, the form here is complicated, you can't stay along the river for a long time." ”

When the two sides were deadlocked, Fuxi hurriedly came out of the outside, "My lord, I've been looking for you, how can you ......" He looked at the person kneeling on the ground, a little stunned, "...... here"

"Fuxi." Su Huai'an saw that Fuxi was coming, so he hurriedly beckoned, "You came just in time, help me persuade them." ”

"My lord, the villain brought back a person."

When Fuxi said this, Su Huai'an was stunned, and everyone kneeling on the ground was also stunned.

"What's going on? Bearded Mortals, they're already here? ”

"My lord, it's not this," Fuxi hurriedly waved her hand, and beckoned to the door again, "Come in!" Fuxi shouted outside.

At this time, a boy in rags came in outside, wearing tattered straw sandals on his feet.

"What is this?" Su Huai'an stared at the young man, puzzled.

"Haven't you seen an adult yet?" Fuxi dragged the boy and was about to step forward.

"Your Excellency." Where had the young man seen such a battle, and timidly shouted at Fuxi's advice.

"My lord, when you ordered me to go to find the bearded brother, I rushed all the way, the bearded brother didn't see it, picked up a little flower child, I first asked for directions, but I didn't expect this kid to know that I was from the capital and hugged my leg straight and didn't let go, so he shouted that I was from the capital, and asked me to save my life, where can the little one do such a master, so I had to bring it back to the adults to see."

Fuxi said as she wiped the sweat and rain from her face, "Hey, boy, you just saw me and still cry wolf, why are you so quiet when you see someone who is really in charge now?" ”

The little Hanako's shoulders shrunk, obviously he knew Su Huai'an's sense of proportion.

"Brother Beard," Su Huai'an looked at the bearded man who was still kneeling on the ground, "Get up first, let's see what is going on with this matter." ”

Seeing that something was really wrong, the bearded man didn't dare to make any more trouble, so he had to drag the brothers behind him to get up.

"My lord, do you have anything to eat here?"

The young man in tattered clothes did not see outside, but he wanted to eat when he saw people.

"Fuxi, bring this kid something to eat." Su Huaian pulled the chair next to the table and came out, "Come and sit." She beckoned to the boy.

Fuxi snorted, nodded the young man's forehead when he took the dry food from the package, and threw over a white-flour steamed bun as he said, "It's not hot, let's make do with it first." ”

The boy didn't dislike it, and picked it up and gobbled it up.

Su Huai'an sighed, "Kid, are you hungry?" ”

"Hmm...... Uh-huh! The young man originally wanted to agree, but he was so hungry that he couldn't take care of answering at this time, and he still ate like a cat grabbing food.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" He was suddenly choked by the bitten steamed bread noodles and dry noodles, and coughed loudly until he was out of breath, Su Huaian hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back.

Fuxi rolled her eyes on the side, "What is the stinky boy pretending, I'll do this kind of thing like an adult patting his back." ”

The young man gradually exhaled under Su Huai'an's comfort, and timidly asked Su Huai'an, who was standing beside him, "Is there any water?" ”

"No, do you want to eat a slap?" Fuxi is going to fight.

Su Huai'an glanced at Fu Xi silently, Fu Xi knew the warning, so she had to put away her hand and pretend to tickle herself, "My lord, I'll go and see if there is well water outside." ”

"Hmm."

Unexpectedly, Fuxi didn't just go out, and ran back in fright, "It's amazing!" Amazing! My lord, I tripped over a corpse as soon as I went out, and there are a lot of unclean things outside our house, what's going on, my lord! ”

Fuxi shouted as he rushed into the house as fast as he could, he wasn't here just now, and he was naturally startled by what was going on outside.

The bearded beard answered, "Don't worry, my lords, I will go with my brothers to bury it in a while, and no one will know about it." ”

Su Huai'an lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Is there any room left?" ”

"This ......" The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his voice froze, "At that time, I was only concerned about protecting the safety of adults, and I was heavy." ”

Su Huai'an was not surprised, she knew that it was expected that she would not leave a living mouth, even if she had the intention to let these people live, most of them were also dead soldiers sent by Jiang Zongnian, and most of them could not live longer if the task was not successful, she nodded, "Let's go out and see the corpse." ”

"Your Excellency, come with me." Fuxi leads the way.

"My lord, what should I do?" The little Hanako saw that everyone was going out, and heard that there was a corpse outside, so he hurriedly raised his hand, for fear of pulling him down.

Su Huai'an glanced at him, "You follow." ”

The group was very quiet, and when they walked up to the corpse, everyone dispersed, and they checked it again, and it was all cold to the touch.

"Look at what he's wearing underneath his black clothes." Su Huai'an ordered.

Fu Xi took the black coat of the corpse according to her words, "My lord! You see! ”

Su Huai'an took a closer look, but what she didn't expect was that the clothes of these people were, "It's actually the clothes of the errand." ”

She frowned, "Take the mask off." ”

Fuxi was even more shocked when she took it again, "Isn't this? Isn't this?! ”

"Yes, this is the errand that sent us here just now." Su Huai'an was very calm, she thought that Jiang Zongnian would cover up such a thing anyway, but unexpectedly, these people turned out to be the people who came out of the Jinyan Building just now, in this way, things become fun, everything is not according to the convention, after all, there is chaos, she is not afraid of chaos, she is afraid of chaos, because there is chaos to find clues from it, her favorite link, like building a garden and building an attic, is just like building a garden and building an attic, it is all good to look good from the ground in the mess and ruins.

After listening to Su Huai'an's words, Fuxi couldn't help but quickly withdraw her hand, "My lord! He wanted to say something more, but he didn't say it with his mouth open.

"Big brother, this is the person sent by Jiang Zongnian who sent us over in the afternoon, I think I am familiar with the environment of this house, I am still dangerous here, and you are even more dangerous here."

The bearded man hugged his fists, "The little ones all know that when the adults are using the small ones at this time, don't let the little ones go, even if they do, the little ones won't go when the adults need to use people." ”

Su Huai'an sighed, "I didn't expect them to be so arrogant in the afternoon, and in the blink of an eye, they became cold corpses." ”

She looked at it for a moment, slowed down, and waved her hand, "Okay, bury them all." ”

"Yes."

The group of people were neat, because they were lucky to be born, packed a few sacks, and quietly walked through the back door, and almost no one saw it in the dark sky.

The young man forgot to chew the steamed buns in his mouth.

"Do you still drink water?" Su Huai'an asked.

"No, no." The young man turned his face to the sky and poured rain on his head, "Finished drinking, adult." ”

"Come into the house with me and tell me what's going on."

By the time the group entered the house, the red candle had already been lit.

"Let's talk about it." Su Huai'an looked at the young man.

"Yes, my lord, the little one was originally a little beggar along the river, but after the rainstorm came, the embankment along the river burst and many people died."

"Well, but hasn't the imperial court always delegated silver two to build embankments and dams before? Even if someone stretches out their dirty hands, it shouldn't be like this. ”

"My lord doesn't know," said the little flower child, smugly, and stepped on the bench with one leg crossed, and when she saw Fuxi glaring at him, she sat up straight again and put her leg down.

"My lord, before you came, Jiang Zongnian drove our east of the city to call Huazi out, and the refugees in this city who were not originally called Huazi because the fields were flooded were also taken away."

"Hmm." Su Huai'an responded, these are not what she expected, she always has to look good on the surface, and she can't make mistakes.

"My lord, I said on the road that you were repairing the embankment, but you don't know that the embankment has been repaired for many years, and it is useless at all." Xiao Hanako blew her nose and took a breath, looking a little angry.

"Oh?" Su Huai'an was interested, and a smile spread to the corners of his lips, "What do you say?" ”

"It's about how lively it is to repair the embankment every year, but I don't know why, when the flood comes this year, the embankment collapses all at once." The little beggar chewed two more mouthfuls of steamed buns, "as it were," he suddenly broke the remaining steamed buns, "and after a little smack, it was gone." ”

"Hmm." Su Huai'an touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Do you know what materials are used to repair the embankment?" ”

The little beggar shook his head, "This kind of thing, how can a little flower like me know, in short, it is all done in their house, and they never let people get close, and they use it all from their own family." ”

Su Huai'an stopped talking, but fell into deep thought.

I don't know how long it took, but the little beggar had almost eaten, "My lord, what should I do now?" ”

At this moment, the night is deep, but the torrential rain outside the window does not stop, Su Huai'an glanced out the window, thinking that he should step up his actions to prevent the disaster from further expanding, Xu Di is in the lower reaches of Yanhefu, once it spreads to Xu Di, then Lu Di and Su Di will be swallowed by the four flood beasts.

The bearded man and his party also returned, and the heavy rain drenched them, so he stepped forward and bowed, "My lord, the bodies of those gangsters have been buried on the outskirts of the city. ”

"My lord, look at our ......" Chou San'er asked on the side, "My lord, how are you going to arrange for us?" ”

The bearded beard patted him, "Don't rush the adult, the adult must have his own arrangements." ”

Su Huai'an groaned slightly, "You can't stay here, firstly, if you appear here, Jiang Zongnian will definitely be suspicious, and secondly, I still have some things that I need you to help me do." ”

When everyone heard Su Huai'an say that they had something to look for them, they all showed happy expressions, "Your Excellency, just command." ”

"Okay," Su Huai'an saw that everyone was united, and he also made up his mind, "You and your group will go and find out what materials have been used to build the embankment along the river in the past few years, how much time has been spent on repairing the embankment every year, and who are the people who use it, and if possible, check out where the silver taels are allocated." ”

"Yes, sir."

"Also...... There is one thing that I am very puzzled about, why no one in the city of Yanhefu has appeared, you also go to check the situation, this little brother said that the name Hanako in the east of the city was all kicked out before I came, where were the refugees who were affected by the disaster settled? It also needs to be investigated. ”

"Yes, sir!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

"Nothing else is going on for the time being."

"My lord, can you let a few people stay here to take care of you?" The bearded man was cautious.

"Didn't you say it just now, no, I have been in contact with Jiang Zongnian, that person is not a good master, if he finds out, maybe he will have to come up with some ideas, you can do me a good job of the errand I explained, it will be a great favor for me."

"That'...... My lord, if you have any problems, you can look for us at the inn on the west side of the city. The bearded man clenched his fists and was about to leave with the Luck Gang as he spoke.

Su Huai'an stopped and looked at the sky outside the door, "At this hour, the city gate should be closed." ”

The bearded man knew that Su Huai'an was worried about them, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, "Adults don't have to worry, we have been lucky since we were children, not to mention that the city gate is not closed, even if the city gate is closed, we also have a way, if there are any problems here, I will come to help as soon as possible." ”

Su Huai'an nodded, and when he heard what the bearded man said, he also put his mind at ease and stopped stopping him.

The little Hanako hurriedly followed, "My lord, what should I do?" ”

Su Huai'an thought for a while, "Brother Beard, this little brother can't stay here." ”

The bearded man understood what Su Huai'an meant, "Don't worry, you will take care of him." ”
