Chapter 379: Wanderers
"You fell asleep, and I didn't want you to know about it, so I didn't tell you." He spoke softly and comforted Lin Zuiliu.
"Now, I'm awake now, tell me what the hell was going on?"
Lin Zuiliu was very curious, seeing that she was so unrelenting, there was no way, Liao Luan had to tell her what he had heard just now.
Finally, he spoke: "The people on this period are just doing gimmicks, originally there were dead people in the town, and the imperial court would definitely send people to check, and I guess those dead travelers should also be killed by them." ”
"It's a good idea to kill someone and pretend to be evil to attract more people." Liao Luan said, sneering.
Lin Zuiliu was also frightened by the plot he restored, she really didn't expect that there were still people who had this kind of intention to make money.
"Well, those who went behind there......"
"They should have killed them too." Liao Luan said, "The old lady's expression was very tangled when we came, and I think she didn't want us to live in the town when she raised her head. ”
However, compared with human nature and interests, in the end, interests prevailed.
So what's the use of burning as much paper as you want, and in the end you kill someone, you still can't escape a conscience disturbance.
"Then these people are too hateful!" Lin Zuiliu, who had just figured out the truth of the matter, finally began to be righteous.
She thrust her waist and said, "Why don't we catch them all, this group of people is so hateful, we shouldn't let them go unpunished." ”
The carriage was dangling around, and Lin Zuiliu's movements also swayed left and right, Liao Luan was not at ease, and reached out to pull her well.
"This is not something we need to worry about, I will tell the city lord there when I get to the city tomorrow, we have too few people, it is not suitable to entangle with them more."
If there was no Lin Zuiliu, he would naturally have to personally catch these people who have no bottom line. But now it's over.
At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and they tossed all night, Lin Zuiliu was already uncomfortable, his little face was white, and he was full of exhaustion.
Originally, in order to prevent emergencies, the carriage prepared by Liao Luan was extremely spacious, which could accommodate one person to rest, Lin Zuiliu simply lay on the carriage and fell asleep on Liao Luan's legs?
It was a morning walk, and it was nearly noon when they saw a gate.
There were not many guards at the city gate, but there were many people who wanted to enter the city, and as soon as Crane lined up with a carriage, Guan Yan took his sign and found the guard.
Originally, Liao Luan wanted to find the city lord and ask him to take someone to the town to solve this matter, after all, they had already left, and the sooner the matter was resolved, the better.
Unexpectedly, after a while, there was a commotion in the crowd above, and the people in line all moved to the side, and soon a guard ran over.
"My lord, come into the city quickly, the little one has already sent someone to inform the city lord." He had never seen such a big official as the prince since he was a child, and he was naturally excited.
Thinking of Lin Zuiliu in the car, Liao Luan was not too pretentious, and agreed for the time being, and the carriage passed everyone into the city.
This city is not a prosperous place, but it is much better than the wilderness, and Tsuruichi went straight to the largest inn in the city.
With these two people outside, Liao Luan didn't care about anything, stretched out his hand to pick up Lin Zuiliu, who was still asleep, and hurriedly went upstairs.
Lin Zuiliu slept for a day, and when she woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
She hadn't eaten anything all day, and her stomach was already rumbling at this time, and she was about to open her mouth to call Liao Luan, when she heard a voice from outside the bedroom.
She pulled on her shoes, leaned to the door of the room, and saw Liao Luan talking to someone.
He was sitting on his side facing her at this time, and the other person was a middle-aged man, dressed very well, looking pot-bellied.
"In short, I hope that the city lord can solve this problem as soon as possible, and no one wants to see this kind of problem under your majesty."
"What you say, what you say." The middle-aged man should be the city lord of this city, he wiped the sweat on his head, and then said, "Is it true that the prince doesn't move to his subordinate mansion?" ”
"After all, it's not as convenient as home."
When the conversation reached the flattery stage, Liao Luan was not interested, he waved his hand, refused the city lord again, and glanced back at the door of the inner room.
Lin Zuiliu was amused in his heart, and shouted very cooperatively: "Yan Gui." ”
After shouting these two words, Liao Luan immediately stood up, and was about to leave, when he remembered that there were still a few people in the house.
"That's the thing, this king's inner son is calling this king, and he won't accompany him." After speaking, he didn't care about the city lord's answer, turned around and hurried into the house.
Lin Zuiliu had already sat back on the bed at this time, and when she saw Liao Luan entering the room, she said with a smile: "I'm hungry." ”
I don't know when Lin Zuiliu will wake up, and I'm afraid that she will be hungry, Liao Luan has already made the kitchen ready and the food has been warm.
There were two trips from the city lord, and no one dared to treat Liao Luan slowly in the inn, so he went downstairs to call out, and soon the steaming meal was on the table.
Lin Zuiliu's index finger moved, and he devoured it for a while, until he felt that the food he had eaten was up to his throat, and then he put down his chopsticks.
"Did you tell the city lord?"
"I said it." Liao Luan nodded, "He should send someone to deal with it today, the sooner this matter is dealt with, the fewer people will be harmed." ”
Maybe they just wanted to make a living at first, but they didn't expect to be fascinated by this method of earning money without having to work, and they became insatiable.
Lin Zuiliu nodded approvingly, and asked again: "Then when will we leave, I have slept enough now, and my spirit is very good." ”
That being said, she just knew that her spirit was getting worse day by day, and now she felt a little tired even if she stood for a while longer.
"Let's do it tomorrow, one more day today, and we'll set off tomorrow, so it's safe to get there early."
Maybe it was dying early, Lin Zuiliu slandered in his heart, but he didn't say it.
In the afternoon of the same day, the city lord really took the topographical map drawn by Liao Luan and sent people to the town.
Knowing that Liao Luan was in charge, this matter would definitely be solved, so Lin Zuiliu was not interested in this matter, she took medicine and read the book, and felt tired after a while.
Lately she has felt that her spirits are getting worse and worse, and twenty-four hours a day, and she can only be awake for about ten hours.
Sometimes I can't wake up after a whole day's sleep, and I can wake up a little more the next day.
When she woke up again, the man was already in the carriage.
Liao Luan probably also discovered her problem, so he could only entangle and pity her to sleep, but did not wake her up.
The carriage traveled for several days, passing two small towns in between, and at last it was ready to reach the next big city.
At this time, they have already reached the south, and they have not been taking the official road, although the official road is spacious and there are post stations, but it is somewhat far away.
They walked all the way down the trail, and soon they reached the south.
"Where is this?" Lin Zuiliu muttered, lifted the curtain, and then gasped.
It's not that she is exaggerating, outside the carriage, sitting or falling, people all over the ground, they are wearing tattered clothes, and their faces are yellow and thin, and they look very desolate.
It's a homeless.
She heard Liao Luan say that the two nearby towns were affected by the flood in Yitianfu, and she also imagined what it would be like to be homeless.
But it didn't suddenly appear in front of me, which made people feel so surprised and shocked.
"How...... So many homeless? ”
"I've already arrived near Yi Tianfu, and the displaced people there have come all the way north." Liao Luan's face was also a little unpleasant.
He is the most righteous person, and now seeing so many displaced people, he must feel uncomfortable.
Their carriage walked to the city gate, and then Lin Zuiliu heard a beating and scolding.
"Don't go into the city, get out of here, don't you hear me, old thing." The voice was domineering, and Lin Zuiliu could hear that it seemed to be the voice of the guard who had just checked.
"Official, just let me in, my little grandson has been sick for several days, and he will die if he doesn't see a doctor, Official."
"Don't talk nonsense, if you can't enter, you can't enter, stay away, don't delay the people behind."
The more he listened, the more angry he became, Lin Zuiliu finally couldn't hold back, jumped out of the carriage with quick steps, and hurried towards the city gate.
Her actions startled Liao Luan, and he hurriedly got out of the car, for fear that something would happen to Lin Zuiliu in such a messy place.
"What's the matter with you? If you don't let in, you won't let in, just say it well, an old man, you have an old thing, and your mouth is really under-torn. ”
The guard was disciplining others, and he didn't think that a mad woman would suddenly come and teach him a lesson.
He was angry when he heard this, and when he glanced at it, he found that Lin Zuiliu's clothes were well dressed, his face was clean, and he looked bright and good-looking, so his tone softened by two points at the moment.
"What do you know as a woman, don't meddle with things, if you want to enter the city, you will line up."
"I don't know? I don't know you know? As a soldier of the imperial court, you are already so domineering for the sake of the people, you are simply an unforgivable sin. ”
This guard has a bad temper, and he only gave two points of face because of Lin Zuiliu's dressing, but now seeing her like this, he still couldn't hold back in the end, and reached out to push her.
"Leave it to you!"
Before his hand touched Lin Zuiliu's body, the next second, he found a tall and slender man with a cold face grabbing his wrist.
"Doing things to women, wretching people." As he spoke, he turned his hand, and suddenly the guard felt a pinprick-like pain from his wrist to his shoulder.
Liao Luan didn't let go, and he couldn't help but scream, and the other guards on the side hurriedly ran over when they heard the sound.
"What is this?"
