Lu Yao and Gu Congyuan's expressions suddenly became subtle, and their hearts sank.

These children have only been missing on a large scale for a few days, and if they were really those in the beggar's den, they would not have been killed so quickly......

If something happens to this one child, then the others may be killed anytime and anywhere.

Gu Cong was born in the Shadow Pavilion, and the things he had seen since he was a child were far more cruel than these, and he himself didn't care about this case, it was just a task that the emperor and Lu Yao forcibly imposed on him.

But as if they were deliberately provoking him, the beggars killed a child first and told those who wanted to continue the search that they must not come to the search, or they would die more.

Lu Yao also saw the threat in this, and slowly frowned and said, "Who is it...... It's really rampant. ”

Compared with the calm and composure of these two people, Master Zhang over there couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his huge double chin seemed to be about to be shocked to the ground.

The fat body jumped up at once, grabbed the collar of the person who reported it, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You repeat. ”

The subordinate was frightened enough by Master Zhang's chattering appearance, and responded to him in a trembling voice: "Huh...... Report to the Lord...... There was a child who had been killed, and it was the ...... who herded cattle all day long."

"Rubbish!" Master Zhang kicked the person several feet away, pointed at him and scolded, "You bunch of unfavorable waste! Let you find people, find people, who told you to find corpses! ”

Lu Yao knew that he was in a hurry at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart, Lord Zhang was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he let his subordinates do everything, not to mention going out in person, even those people at the door had to rely on the officials to barely maintain order!

She said lightly: "Master Zhang, the matter has come to this, it's useless to be angry, it's better to calm down and ask him well." ”

"Yes...... right" Master Zhang looked like a dead wife, and turned around tremblingly, "This official asks you!" It's a man or a woman who dies! ”

As if he had been pardoned, he knelt on the ground and said, "It's a cowherd, boy." ”

Master Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's a man." ”

Gu Congyuan raised his eyebrows subtly, and his sharp gaze flew over: "What, Lord Zhang, there is a ghost in his heart?" ”

Master Zhang hurriedly smiled: "Where can it!" He hurriedly changed the subject, "Quick, carry the boy's body to the yamen and let the official take a look!" ”

At this time, the yamen was still surrounded by the people, and people were crying and grabbing the ground to let Mr. Zhang help find the child, but how easy is this to say?

Especially when a dead one was just found.

A few pretend-grabbers carried the boy's body into the yamen, and the sharp-eyed people at the door had already noticed that something was wrong and shouted: "It's a child!" Inside is a child! Whose family is that? ”

This sentence was like thunder on the ground, and it suddenly exploded among the noisy people.

Lord Zhang was disgusted when he saw the corpse covered with white cloth, and was disturbed by a group of noisy civilians in cloth, he scolded: "Hurry up and drive those Diao people outside for this official, this one is dead and not all of them are dead, what are you arguing about!" ”

Lu Yao saw that this Master Zhang was not pleasing to the eye, and said coldly: "Oh? Isn't it already a dereliction of duty on the part of the yamen to prevent the tragedy from happening in time? Lord Zhang is really not a big deal. ”

Lord Zhang glanced at Gu Congyuan's uncertain complexion, and it was not good for Lu Yao to speak in it

Too impatient.

He instructed: "There are two other nobles here, and in this matter, the official will give them justice and drive them back!" ”

The officials suddenly walked to the gate side by side, and all of them scolded fiercely: "Retreat! Back off! ”

Lu Yao saw Master Zhang's cowering and hesitant cowardice, he went straight to Gu Cong to hide behind him, he really didn't look like a man.

She stretched out her hand and was about to lift the white cloth covering the corpse, but someone held her wrist one step ahead of her, Gu Congyuan shook his head at her and said, "Dirty." ”

Master Zhang immediately scolded like a dog: "Are you looking for you to eat?" I also want Princess Cong to do it herself, and I don't want to open it for the official! Check what the hell is going on?! ”

"Yes."

The two servants stepped forward, one left and one right, and lifted the white cloth neatly with their big hands

Lord Zhang glanced at it and immediately ran to the side, nauseating and crying.

Lu Yao couldn't help but take a step back, and forcibly endured the churning in his stomach.

Gu Congyuan couldn't help frowning, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the corpse indifferently.

Sure enough, it was the boy who used to drive the oxen, and the corpse had been rotting for days, and it smelled of foul smell, and it was winter, and if it was summer, maggots would be rampant, and carrion would turn out.

But this tragic death scene is not the most shocking, the point is

He had both legs broken.

The rancid smell wafted everywhere, and the officials and people at the door were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help but look into the hall, and after a short silence, one of the gray-haired old women suddenly broke out into a sharp sob.

This sudden sound startled everyone.

The old woman suddenly knelt down slowly, sobbed a long time, and looked up to the sky and cried bitterly: "My grandson, what is my grandson...... How can you ......?"

Master Zhang vomited for a long time before he came back to his senses in a daze and asked, "Second Highness, what do you think you can do about this?" ”

Gu Congyuan slowly turned his head sideways and glanced at him: "Are you called Lord Zhang or am I called Lord Zhang?" ”

Knock, knock, knock......

A regular drumming swept in, like God's angry roar, which made the already panicked yamen even more dull.

The man shouted with tears streaming down his face while beating the drum: "Grass man Xue Tian, she herds cattle for a living in this life, and my son died tragically, I beg Lord Zhang to avenge my son's grievances!" ”

As soon as he shouted like this, the people, who were already frightened and frightened, thought about whether their children and eldest girls would end up like this, and suddenly became confused, crying and shouting.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Calm down! ”

Lord Zhang stepped forward, those officials were very hard to stop the rioting people, and he just calmly came up, for fear that the people would not be able to beat him!

"Don't be impatient!" Master Zhang dragged Gu Congyuan, who was following behind him, up, and then dragged Lu Yao up, "This is His Royal Highness King Cong!" This is Princess Cong, and she is also the leader of Tongfu Firm! Now the two of them are ordered to assist the official in investigating the case! ”

Lu Yao looked at the man who was running the train in surprise, and glanced at Gu Congyuan with a gloomy face, but decided not to speak.

"The two nobles will definitely find a family for you! Please rest assured! Master Zhang said in a solemn and solemn voice, "This emperor is vast, you should know that evil does not suppress justice!" The truth will surely come out! ”

Lu Yao snorted coldly: "Pretend." ”

Master Zhang raised his hands high and said loudly: "I believe that King Cong and his wife will definitely give everyone an explanation!" ”

After a storm of appeasement, the people dispersed, and the body of the Xue family was left to wait for examination, and the Xue family cried in the back hall.

Gu Cong had no choice but to come to the troubled waters, and his heart was not happy, so he lifted his robe and sat on the right seat.

Lord Zhang said with a sad face: "Second Highness, Second Highness, don't ignore people, you have to help me, otherwise my house will be flattened by the people!" ”

Gu Congyuan glanced at him coldly, and said, "Waste, I can't find clues for so many days, and you deserve my help?" ”

The stinky temper of this second highness is notoriously bad in the court, Lord Zhang didn't dare to speak, he couldn't provoke King Cong, he turned his head and grabbed Lu Yao's sleeve: "Grandma, princess, you persuade the second highness, this matter is out of control, you can help......"

A snow-white shadow suddenly hit Master Zhang's hand, he screamed like a frightened bird, and looked at it, it was the tea cup thrown by Gu Congyuan.

Gu Congyuan's heart was in a mess and said, "...... Your dirty hands, take them away. ”

Scholar Zhong Yi and Sun Jianglian have known each other for three years, and Sun Jianglian has knocked on the side countless times, saying that he wants to marry a scholar, even if he is willing to live a hard life, but how can Sun Shuqi connive at his daughter to marry a poor sour boy, naturally it will be strangled from the beginning!

Zhong Yi hadn't seen Sun Jianglian for a long time, and he hadn't even received a letter, he was sick with his thoughts, and his heart ached every day.

After many inquiries, I found out that Sun Jianglian was actually married to the son of a monk, and he almost squirted out a mouthful of Ling Xiao blood!

He trembled and waited for several days, but he still didn't wait for news from Sun Jianglian, so he simply went directly to the gate of Sun's house to wait.

The Sun family didn't know what was going on, and the entire mansion was in turmoil and chaos.

Sun Shuqi seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and he was sitting on the chair at this time, rubbing his eyebrows with a headache, and tears could be faintly seen.

The housekeeper served tea to people and comforted: "Don't be sad, sir......"

When Uncle Sun heard this, he burst into tears again: "How can I not be sad? ”

Suddenly, a little guy hurriedly ran up and said, "Master! There is a man who looks like a scholar at the door, and he wants to ask to see Miss! You can't get rid of it no matter how much you rush it! ”

Uncle Sun's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked someone to help him stand up, and he said tremblingly: "Don't drive this person away, I want to ask him in person......"

Who knows, as soon as he walked out of the gate, Sun Shuqi immediately changed from Fang Cai's weak state to full of anger, and grabbed Zhong Yi's collar.

He shouted, "You scholar still dare to come!" It's all because of you! ”

Zhong Yi didn't resist, he pleaded with a haggard face: "Master Sun, I know you don't agree with us being together, but I beg you, let me see her once, and it's okay!" ”

Sun Shuqi suddenly felt as if he was drained of his strength: "What did you say?" Isn't she with you? Didn't she elope with you! ”
