The green light is like a bean, Tan Huaiyu wrapped the wound for Yu Jingning under the lamp, and then said: "Ge Siba's son died of an epidemic. ”

Yu Jingning frowned.

At that time, when Bian Zhang was assassinated, several of them could hear it clearly, and Ge Siba shouted "pay for my son's life".

So how did this child die, and why was Ge Siba killed?

A muffled thunder exploded outside, followed by the raindrops, hitting the ground and crackling for a while, all the sounds seemed to be shrouded in a cover, and everything was hazy.

The toads rolling on the edge of the pond screamed merrily.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and it was not obvious at all.

Tan Huaiyu thought that he had heard it wrong, and his hairs stood up for a while,

Yu Jingning touched the knife with his hand and sat in place without moving.

After a long while, the sound of the door slamming outside the door sounded again: "Lord Tan, it's a humble position." After a pause, he added, "There is no one in the prince's house." ”

This is a familiar voice, it is the Jinyi guard under Gao Miao. Tan Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and opened the door for the people outside.

It was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who came in, and as soon as he came in, he saw Yu Jingning sitting on the side: "Ah, it turns out that the prince is here at Tan Ge Lao." ”

Yu Jingning nodded at the young man, who knew that the young man changed his joy when he found him before, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "It is not good to do things in a lowly position, and I ask the prince to punish him." ”

Yu Jingning waved his hand: "Get up and speak." ”

The young man was drenched with water, his hair sticking to his cheeks, and the corners of his robe were still dripping down. The young man stood up as soon as he arched his hand at Yu Jingning: "The shop that the prince asked us to stare at before, the people in it ran away. ”

Yu Jingning's face darkened.

The young man was quite good at observing words and feelings, and seeing that Yu Jingning's face had changed, he hurriedly answered: "I'm afraid that the shopkeeper of that family has something to do with the rivers and lakes, otherwise no one will answer if he runs away, and he won't be able to run so fast." I'm afraid that people will run away, out of Jinan Mansion, Xiao Wu and they have already chased after them. ”

Yu Jingning frowned and groaned for a while, and then asked, "How many people did you bring?" ”

"Twenty." The young man shook his fingers, "I'm afraid that the people in Jinan Mansion will be suspicious, so I didn't dare to make such a big battle." But there are only three or four of them, and our brothers are all kung fu, so there shouldn't be any big problems. ”

The young man lost the person, and he felt very guilty, so he almost had to explain to Yu Jingning, "We lost the person because we followed it too far", and he almost patted his chest with the prince and packed the ticket, "The person will definitely be able to recover it".

Although this young man is not a few years younger than Yu Jingning, he is still a child, and Yu Jingning is not embarrassed for him, so he has to nod with him and let people go down to rest first.

Tan Huaiyu and Yu Jingning said a few words about the accounts, which were not leaky, the doctors who used the herbs, and the money allocated to the Leaky Garden for the relief of the victims, all of which were listed clearly. But this is what makes people wonder, although the officials of the governor are all civil officials, they are all feudal officials, and they are basically the existence of the emperor in the local area. They have to get used to eating and taking cards, and the officials of Jinan Mansion have made such a big show, saying that they haven't deducted a little, and they can see that something is wrong if they find someone who is still bored reading.

But this account is not half confused.

Tan Huaijue had a solemn face, put the account book in front of Yu Jingning, and sighed: "Either the officials of Jinan Mansion are really innocent, or the entire account is all made up." That's why there is no mistake at all, and the household department can't make such beautiful accounts."

The person who said this was creepy.

All of them were made up, and the money from the doctors who bought the medicine was up and down, a total of 2,500 taels of silver, but they didn't use it where it should be, and it all went into the pocket of the magistrate!

What happened to the plagued people? Why can't I see any of them? How can this Jinan Mansion still look like the disaster and the epidemic have all passed.

You can't think about it, and the more you think about it, the more scary it becomes. Outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, enveloping the dark night in a cloud of steam.

The rain that night was a little too heavy, and it washed away the mud in many places, and it was wet everywhere, and the dirt and gravel rolled down with the water.

It's really mud and sand.

In the early morning of the second day, the rain did not mean to stop, but it turned smaller, and it poured Jinan Mansion into a smell of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

The situation in the southern suburbs of Jinan is worse than in the city of Jinan, where the soil and rocks are looser, and when you take the water, it flows everywhere with mud.

There was a child of seven or eight years old, who couldn't stay idle in the morning, so he had to go out to tread water in the rain.

His mother couldn't help it, and she was afraid that the child would go out and fall by herself, so she had to follow behind.

It was a very young woman, with a veil around her head and an apron, and she ran around with her little bald head.

The child runs so fast that he can't catch up for a while.

The young woman was so tired that she wanted to find a big rock to rest, so she wiped her sweat with her sleeve, and found a big stone to sit on.

The rain is not too heavy, so it is also possible not to use an umbrella, and the rain is floating lightly on the face, which feels quite comfortable.

The young mother sat on a big rock and watched her children run forward and play.

The child is energetic and can get up early in the morning to make noise, but this young mother is in charge of housework until midnight, and has not been idle, and she has only run with her son for a long time, and she can't help but be a little tired.

She propped her hands on her knees, and after not holding them up for a moment, she fell asleep in a daze.

The rain was still dripping, and the young mother's hair was shaggy and wet, with a circle of thin droplets.

She was awakened by the screams and wails of her own son.

The little cub opened his mouth wide, crying so that the forest bird flew away, and the young mother hurriedly stood up and walked in the direction of her son, and I don't know whether the little cub knocked or touched, and cried like this.

As she walked over there, she called out in her mouth: "Brother, my mother is here, my mother is here, don't cry, don't be afraid." Mother is here. ”

The young mother walked all the way and saw the little cub sitting on the ground with his mouth open and wailing.

She went over and picked up the child and shook it twice: "What's wrong?" Where did you fall? ”

The little cub doesn't speak, he just cries.

She couldn't hold back, and looked around while shaking the child.

In the dirt washed away by the rain, human hands are exposed. Not only that, but there are also the bones of a lot of rotten people.

Layer upon layer.

The mother sat down on the ground, trembling so much that she couldn't scream.
