Duan Heng shook his head, squinted his eyes at Xiao He and said, "It's not just that there is a problem with this water, I was patrolling the city yesterday, but wherever the epidemic is serious, the water source is like this." Duan Heng restrained his cynical expression on weekdays when he talked about business, this is what Xiao He admires most about him, everything is one yard to one yard, clearly organized, and he is a clear person.

"If it is directly poisoned into the water, but it is not realistic, then what method did the mastermind behind the scenes use to make these water sources that sustain the survival of the people become like this?"

Xiao He squatted beside the foul-smelling sewage and frowned, a pair of fists clenched tightly under his sleeves, no matter who the culprit was, what his purpose was, he didn't care about other people's lives like this, she Xiao He would not let him get away with it no matter what.

Xiao He suddenly thought of something, so he ordered someone to find the village chief of Chunhua Village.

The village chief of Chunhua Village, it seems that he is already in his sixtieth year, the clothes on his body are tattered, and he is a little worse than a beggar, it seems that he has been poisoned by this disaster for a long time, but it is good to live after all, compared to those white bones, at this time, I don't know how many times better.

Xiao He couldn't bear to let him kneel and bow, and wanted to step forward to help him, but Duan Heng on the side took the first step in front of her, and turned around and said: I'm afraid that you will recover too quickly.

Xiao He knew Duan Heng's intentions, but he was very unhappy in his heart, who are you? The matter was important, so he didn't pay much attention to it and stepped forward to ask.

"Old man, get up and talk first. Let me ask you something. ”

Where is the village chief willing to get up, he has never walked out of this village in his life, and he has not even seen the county order a few times. Now that the person sent by the emperor is standing in front of him, it is tantamount to the gods descending to earth, how can mortals look directly at the gods and speak.

"The adults have tormented the villain, I'll still kneel and reply, the villain's face is hateful, if I frighten the adults, my whole family will not be able to gain a foothold in the village."

Xiao He looked at Duan Heng, and Duan Heng looked like it was none of my business. I didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with what I had done before. She sighed, the matter was urgent, and she couldn't delay it longer, and continued to ask, "Where is the source of the water in your village?" ”

With this question, Duan Heng finally understood what Xiao He wanted to do, and couldn't help but praise her for her quick thinking from the bottom of his heart. Since the mastermind behind the scenes can't poison all the water, as long as he does something at the source, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

"The source of the water...... "The village chief muttered," he muttered, "is on the Juling Mountain to the east of the village." Not only in our village, but also from all over the county. ”

After the village chief left, Duan Heng looked up at the sun, it was noon, "Let's go back to the county government and meet Shen Suhang first, they should be worried after coming out for so long." After speaking, he walked a few steps and found that Xiao He did not follow, and stayed in place, looking at himself in a daze.

"What's wrong with you?" Duan Heng thought that Xiao He was unwell, and wanted to reach out to probe her forehead, but Xiao He grabbed his hands in mid-air.

"His Royal Highness King An. Have you had enough? ”

"Me?" Duan Heng had a stunned look on his face. He didn't know which hairs on his body had provoked this cold-faced man.

"You have followed me from Yuzhou to my western part of Jiangxi, the disaster has not been alleviated, and now this kind of thing has happened in Chunhua Village, don't you give me an explanation? Originally, we were all people with secrets, and I wanted to get by, but when something like this happened, we couldn't get along. After speaking, Xiao He shook off Duan Heng's hand vigorously. At that moment, Duan Heng felt as if his heart had been thrown into hell.

"Xiao He, Lord Xiao!" Duan Heng angrily popped out these words from his teeth. "You actually think that I did all these things, hehe" Duan Heng laughed bitterly. Probably all the grievances I suffered were obtained from Xiao He, I was ignored, indifferent, ridiculed, and now I have been wronged, I have been crowned king anyway, where have I been treated like this.

"That's it, you're doing it yourself." Dropping this sentence, Xiao He left without looking back. Letting a chill come from her back, she clearly heard a sigh, not knowing whether it was her own or from someone behind her.

As soon as Xiao He returned to the county office, he was surrounded by Shen Suhang and others.

"What's going on, is the matter in Chunhua Village a bit eyebrow-raising?" Shen Suhang asked.

"The spring water of Juling Mountain in the east of Chunhua Village is the source of the county's water source, and if the antidote is placed at the source, the water poison will be eliminated within half a month."

"Wonderful, why didn't I think of it!" Shen Suhang was overjoyed, this was probably the only good news he had heard this month. "It just so happens that Su Yi also prepared a prescription for detoxification, and I immediately ordered someone to do it. Ay? What about King An? He didn't go out with you, so why didn't he come back with you? ”

"That's right, and the mastermind behind the poisoning, Lord Xiao has a clue?" Rigor asked.

Xiao He stroked his forehead, he didn't know how to open his mouth to everyone, it couldn't be said that Duan Heng did it, although he didn't have a showdown with himself now, it was best to get along peacefully. "King An...... He said that if there is something, he should be back in a while, as for the mastermind behind the scenes, let this matter go for a while, and it is important to save people. ”

After Xiao He said something like that, Duan Heng thought about leaving, but after thinking about it, wouldn't he admit that he had done it? If he did it himself, it wouldn't hurt even if he was discovered by Xiao He, but no, he couldn't stand such grievances.

"Xiao He, just wait and kneel down and beg this king for forgiveness." Duan Heng made up such a picture and couldn't help laughing. So he rode towards Juling Mountain.

It was almost evening, and the antidote had been prepared, and it would all be ready tomorrow. The victims around the county government were all distributed with antidotes, and the rest only had to be thrown into Juling Mountain.

Everyone was busy and sat down in the hall behind the yamen to rest. At this time, Mu Qingwan came over with a fan and asked, "Why don't you see my cousin King An?" ”

Rigorous and Shen Suhang were slightly stunned, yes, what about King An?

Xiao He still looked like the sky was falling, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said lightly: "I'm afraid I'm going back to Beijing to enjoy happiness, after all, this is a place where he is a royal nobleman." ”

Xiao He, originally just talking about Duan Heng, but when he said "royal nobles", Mu Qingwan naturally thought that he also scolded her together. So he said angrily, "Xiao He, you are bold, our royal nobles are so unpopular with you?" You'd love for us all to go, wouldn't you? I'm not here for you! ”

Shen Suhang hurriedly got up to defend Xiao He: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Xiao definitely didn't mean that, she was straightforward and had no intention of offending the royal family. You are angry. ”

Xiao He also knew that she was speechless and hurriedly bowed to Mu Qingwan to make amends, she was not afraid of her, but afraid that her princess would have a temper and have to give birth to some incidents. Finally, with Shen Suhang here, she has a lot of peace, but she can't touch her head indiscriminately.

Mu Qingwan saw that Shen Suhang also came to intercede, but it was not easy to attack, so he had to wave his hand. "Forget it, forget it. But my cousin always has to send someone to look for him, although he is strong in martial arts, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to defend against hidden arrows. ”

Seeing that the princess was almost pleading, Xiao He didn't want to say anything more about refusal, but she felt that she was too tired these days, and her body was faintly weak. I had to entrust the matter of finding King An to Shen Suhang and rigorous. Go back to your room to rest first.

When she reached the door, this discomfort suddenly came to her heart, and she tried to hold on to the door frame to keep herself from falling, but she still couldn't stop her paralyzed body.

At this time, a force came from her right arm, and she looked down to see that it was Yu Zhu gritting her teeth and trying to support herself.

After some effort, Yu Zhu carried Xiao He to the bed. Xiao He's first sentence was not to thank Yu Zhu, but to ask, "Why did you help me, didn't you say that all officials are bad people?" ”

Yu Zhu lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and said sincerely, "But you are a good person and a good official." I will be a good officer like you in the future. ”

Xiao He smiled and touched Yu Zhu's little head. "Let's go back and go to bed early."

Good man, good officer. After Yu Zhu left, Xiao He kept thinking about these two words in bed. She suddenly let out a disdainful chuckle. In the dark, she said faintly, "If I can do it all over again, I just want to be an ordinary woman, love an ordinary person, and live an ordinary life." ”

Bang bang bang. Three hurried door knocks, accompanied by Shen Suhang's hurried doorway. "Xiao He, Xiao He, wake up!"

Xiao He woke up suddenly, and he wanted to smash the pillow through the door to kill Shen Suhang. hurriedly got dressed and opened the door with a deep hatred.

"What's wrong? Something went wrong with the antidote? ”

"It's not". Shen Suhang looked anxious. "Didn't King An come back last night? Lord Yan went out to look for it, and he searched for it all night. Now, Lord Yan has not returned! ”

"What? The two big living people are gone? Xiao He realized the seriousness of the matter, but where did this King An go?

You can't just disappear for no reason, is it kidnapped? It's not good, Xiao He thought to himself, it must be that the person who poisoned him was discovered by Duan Heng and them, so he wanted to kill people.

Subsequently, Xiao He took a few people and went out to find Duan Heng. Just when it was almost dark, Xiao He heard the sound of someone talking, like a quarrel. Xiao He walked in and saw that it was Duan Heng and rigorous. The masked man in black turned out to be Yuhong.

Lord An, I didn't expect it, it was a coincidence that you saved me at the beginning, and after that, I went to Kangfu to save my wife, but I just used you, but that Lord Qincha was really fooled, it's really stupid, hahaha....

Duan Heng looked at him with a disgusted look, Xiao He still trusted you so much at the beginning, you are actually such a despicable villain, how can you be worthy of Xiao He?

Phew, there is not a good thing in the office. Back then, when there was a famine, my parents and younger siblings died at the hands of officers and soldiers, weren't they innocent, what did they do wrong?
