When He Xuan came back, Zuo Liang and Wen Xi had already come back one step ahead of her.

Because there is really nothing to investigate in this city, but just take a look and know how hard the people live under this vanity.

"Worry-free, have you ever seen a child sold?" Wenxi asked.

"Yes. What's wrong? ”

People buying and selling, a commonplace thing, He Xuan didn't understand why Wenxi was so surprised.

"Have you ever seen a market where children are sold like livestock?"

Wen Xi's next words not only shocked He Xuan's body, but also made Zuo Junzhong and the emperor who were sitting on the side feel a wave in their hearts.

"Really, rows of children, and babies in swaddling clothes! Although I think those parents are hateful, but looking at their yellow and thin faces, I am afraid that they are really unable to support their children. What's more, they also say ......"

"Say what?" Zuo Junzhong asked.

"Ziqing, say it. I can't say it. Speaking of this, Wen Xi's eyes were filled with tears.

Zuo Liang stroked Wenxi's hair and said, "They said that if you sell the child, at least there is a possibility of goodbye." But if you really can't live...... Yi Zi and eat ......"

"Easy to eat?" Hearing this, Han Mingyue stood up with a "Teng".

This word, which I had only read in ancient books, was now alive in my ears, how could I not make this emperor who had always thought that he was still a virtuous lord feel unfair!

"Yes...... Listening to them, such things are not new now......" Zuo Liang said, twisting his eyebrows and letting out a long sigh.

Just when everyone was shrouded in this gloomy mist, the voice of the Liao brothers came from outside.

He Xuan secretly thought to herself, I hope the news they brought back will not be ...... It's even more shocking than the one just now! I thought I would be the worst one in my heart today, but now, I just hope I don't hear anything worse.

"How?"

The emperor didn't even give the two brothers a respite, and asked directly.

"Your Majesty, let's leave as soon as possible. Here, I really can't stay any longer. Liao Geng said.

"Why?" Zuo Junzhong asked.

"I'll tell you." Liao Yong looked at Liao Geng, Liao Geng nodded, and sat next to him.

"Don't worry, just sit down and rest." Zuo Junzhong said.

Liao Yong saw that the emperor did not object, so he sat down and took a sip of tea.

"Today, I walked out of the West City Gate with Yu Ya and kept going down. I walked for more than ten miles, and I didn't even meet a single refugee along the way. When the time came, the two of us also said that it seemed that the refugees we met on the road a few days ago must have left the city without entering the city......"

"But as I walked, I felt that something was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Wen Xi asked.

At this time, I only heard Liao Geng interject and say: "When I went out with my father in the past, I occasionally took the wrong road, and I would encounter some mass graves or something. But I really didn't see the piles of dead people piled up in one place. ”

"Heaps?" Han Mingyue asked.

"Exactly. However, we only looked at it from a distance, and did not come closer. There are officers and soldiers guarding the ......," Liao Yong said.

"We wanted to go in and see what was going on. But he was stopped by the errand man," Liao Geng said, "The messenger said, we won't stop you, if you want to go in, you can do it." However, that place, now within a radius of ten miles, is only allowed to enter and not leave! ”

"Why? Do they give all the refugees ......?" Zuo Junzhong asked.

Liao Yong shook his head and said, "We are also curious. So he asked. At first, the messenger refused to speak, but later, with silver, he opened his mouth. ”

"Say what?" He Xuan didn't say anything, and then asked softly.

He said there was an outbreak there. So, all the people in that village, or the refugees and victims who passed through there...... It's all left there! ”

"Isolation, that's right!" He Xuan said.

"Yes, it's right to isolate! However, if you don't send a doctor, you don't administer medicine, and you leave them to fend for themselves, isn't that right? When Liao Geng said this, he was already really angry, "Not only that, but the messenger also told us that they are here to defend the outermost house, and the intersection closest to the village has long been sealed by the officers and soldiers." I heard that there were people who tried to escape...... But...... But ......"

"But what?" He Xuan asked.

"However, all of them were killed by officers and soldiers!" Liao Yong replied.

"Junzhong, when the hair was pulled out for relief, didn't it come with anti-epidemic medicines?" The emperor asked.

"Go back to the emperor and pull it out. This place was more severely affected, so the silver taels, grain, and medicine were the most. ”

Han Mingyue clenched his fists tightly and asked in a deep voice, "Then why is this still happening?" ”

"The poor man wasn't very sure, but he did say something...... Liao Geng said.

"What else?"

Liao Geng looked at the others present, Liao Yong saw that Liao Geng didn't suppress these last words, so he had to nod secretly, although Liao Geng also knew that he was a quick talker, but what he saw and heard just now really made him too angry.

He said...... He said that the county magistrate here said that those who are sick are even treated with medicine. After taking the medicine, it may not be better. Instead of wasting money, food, and medicine on them, it is better to exchange money for more money! ”

"Bastard!"

I only heard Han Mingyue slap the table, and after this "snap", the quiet people in the whole room were even careful about breathing, for fear of making a little noise.

"Ziqing."

"The minister is here!"

"You take your father's hand, don't transfer troops near Kizil, this is not far from the border, go to the town guard to transfer troops there, I want to see, this Kizil, turn it up and face up, how much silver can be found!"

"Your Majesty, please stop your anger!"

Zuo Liang didn't answer yet, but he heard Liao Yong say.

Han Mingyue looked at Liao Yong and asked, "What?" Anything else to say? ”

Liao Yong smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, catch thieves and take stolen goods." At the moment, we don't have anything...... Thinking about this Qiu Shi, it is just a county order, but he dares to act so recklessly, thinking about it, there must be someone behind him. It's not difficult for us to get people right now, a small county order, it's not difficult to treat him, but it's even more difficult to find out the commander behind him! ”

Listening to Liao Yong's words, the emperor let out a long sigh, he nodded lightly, and said, "Evidence, you go and check." Bing, let's go and transfer it now. Ziqing, you calculate the time, how long will it take you to go back and forth? ”

Zuo Liang thought for a moment and replied, "If the road goes well, it will take about five days." ”

"Good. Then I'll give you five days to check the evidence. He Xuan, this messenger, do you dare to take it? ”

After listening to Liao Yong's words just now, He Xuan didn't make a sound, the person standing behind Qiu Shi, she knew. However, it cannot be said!

However, when he suddenly heard the emperor call his name again, He Xuan's body shook and his face showed some embarrassment.

"This ...... Minister...... It's hard to say. ”

"Can't say it?"

"Yes. Your Majesty, the minister is not good at this, and the last time he was in Qingxian was just a moment of enthusiasm, and it was also a coincidence, so he could solve a case. But right now, here's ......"

"That Qiu Shi, isn't it your fellow countryman? Is there nothing you can do about him? ”

"It's not that there is no way...... It's just that at this time, I don't know where to start! ”

The emperor shook his hand and said, "If you don't know where to start, then find me a place to start." Ziqing, you set off immediately, don't delay for a while. ”

"Yes......"

Zuo Liang looked at He Xuan so unruly, and he was very puzzled. She is not a cold-blooded person, how could she be so unfamiliar when she heard their words, and as for the emperor's imperial decree, she had the intention of refusing.

Zuo Liang thought about it, but heard his father call him to follow him to pick up the letter. Zuo Liang glanced at Liao Yong, Liao Yong nodded, and then smiled at Zuo Liang.

"Disperse y'all of you. I have a headache. ”

The emperor gave an order, and everyone dispersed. As soon as He Xuan came out of the house, he was carried back to the room by the two brothers, one left and one right.

"What's wrong with you?" Liao Yong asked.

"We can't control this matter!"

"Why can't you do it? The people of the world are in charge of the world! Liao Geng said.

"Yes, you're right. The people of the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, and they are talking about the affairs of the world, not the affairs of the heavenly family! He Xuan lowered her voice and said.

"You mean ......"

"I didn't say anything. You didn't hear anything. ”

He Xuan said, sighed, sat down at the table, and pondered what to do.

"You're not trying to help him, are you?" For the first time, Liao Yong was a little dissatisfied with He Xuan's behavior.

"What did you say?" Listening to Liao Yong's words, the anger that He Xuan had been suppressing suddenly rushed to the top of his head, "I'll help him!" Can you give me a reason to help him? ”

“……”

Liao Yong opened his mouth and closed it again.

"We are now, but there are only about twenty people, and then we go to Ziqing, the two of you, Zuo Xiang, the county lord, and the emperor in that room, all of them need to be protected. I'll go out and look for clues. Leave you all here? He Xuan glared at Liao Yong and said, "Say it again." I just put the evidence neatly on the emperor's table, do you think we can fall down? That's the Prince, you know? I can't say, I have to get to the Queen Mother! Will the emperor be willing to let outsiders know about the ugly things of the heavenly family? ”

After listening to He Xuan's words, the two brothers were silent. The stakes in this do not need to be elaborated, everyone will understand. Only those who do not know life and death are willing to know a lot about the affairs of the heavenly family, but not a single person in this room is a fool!
