Chapter 142: Rumors Spread
After returning to the small courtyard, Li Xiao entered the house first, closed the door easily, and blocked Wei Lingjue, who was following her.
Her heart, as if there was something strange, beat a little faster. This feeling made her feel a little out of control, as if she was no longer herself!
Li Xiao unconsciously closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to remove the shadow of Wei Lingjue that was shaking in her mind.
Wei Lingjie outside the door almost hit the door. He stroked his forehead, smiled helplessly, and turned to leave! Li Xiao needs time, what he needs is to give her time.
As soon as he came out of the courtyard, he saw Uncle Qiao hurrying towards him.
"You're just right here!" Uncle Qiao said eagerly: "There are people looking for them outside!" ”
"Who?"
"Xu Laosan's eldest son." Uncle Qiao stood in front of Wei Lingjue, "I said that there was a strange disease in their village, and I want you to go and see it!" ”
Wei Ling nodded in absolutely: "Let's go, let's go and have a look first!" "Let's leave with Uncle Qiao!
Wei Lingjue went this way, and he didn't come back until it was dark.
However, he sent Yin Zhan to bring a letter to Li Xiao.
The candlelight was shining and it jumped slightly. The shining light was reflected in Li Xiao's meaningful eyes, rendering her emotions even more meaningful!
Li Xiao raised her eyes and put the letter aside. He asked lightly, "Where did he go?" ”
"I don't know how to do it!" Yin Zhan returned: "Please also ask the county lord to listen to the arrangement of the prince and return to Yucheng first!" ”
In Wei Lingjue's letter, he only said that he was in a hurry and left first. As for where it went, there was not a word. He asked Yin Zhan to stay and escort Li Xiao back to Yucheng, and he would go back immediately!
What does he mean by that?
Li Xiao's hand, where Yin Zhan couldn't see, squeezed it slightly, and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”
"Instantly!"
“……”
Seeing that Li Xiao's face became more and more ugly, Yin Zhan hurriedly said what Wei Ling had taught him: "This is what the prince commanded, and he asked the county lord Mo Yan to blame him for his humble duties!" ”
He thought that Li Xiao's expression would be better after saying this, but he didn't know that because of this sentence, she was even more angry!
It's just that Li Xiao's anger didn't show it. She straightened her mind, and then instructed Yunxia on the side to say: "Go pack your things and go back to Yucheng!" ”
As for Yucheng at this time, it is in a different situation.
A rumor has spread wildly among the people, and the big guys are all saying that in Yucheng, there are human traffickers, who specialize in picking beautiful women.
For a while, people were panicked, especially those with daughters, who were always worried all day long, not to mention letting their daughters go out alone, even if they were at home.
People are terrible, and rumors are like a hustle and bustle, but in a day or two, it has spread throughout Yucheng. You pass on me, and I pass on you. Gradually, the taste has changed, and it has become, in Yucheng, there are traffickers who haunt them, and they are taken captive when they meet people, and they are killed when they see people.
For the sake of more than one clarification at this time, Zhizhou has had little effect.
So, on this day, that is, the day Li Xiao returned to Yucheng, the governor posted a notice: For the sake of the people's grievances, the people's hearts will be reassured. Within three days, the rumors will be cleared and the rumor-mongers will be arrested.
When this rumor reached Li Xiao's ears, it was already the second day after she rushed back to Yucheng overnight.
After listening to Dong Lian's report, she asked incredulously: "Is this really the case?" ”
