Chapter 654: Light as Cheng Returns (12)

Mingshu listened for a long time, and the crops in the village were now dying because of the serious insect infestation.

It's not a place either, it's like this in the nearby villages, and everyone's harvest isn't very good.

In this day and age, the yield of crops is low, and there is a reduction in pests.

The villagers all complained, but what could be done, the insect pest could not be prevented, even if they stayed in the field, there was nothing they could do.

This has nothing to do with Mingshu, she pats her ass and leaves after eating.

When I returned to Liufu, I found that Liufu was also discussing insect pests.

Pest infestations are not a big problem in modern times, but they are indeed fatal problems now, and this year, it seems that the problem is quite big.

A lot of the land in Yunli Village belongs to Liufu, and these villagers just help Liufu plant, so the biggest loss is still Liufu.

For the next two days, almost the entire village was talking about the pest.

Mingshu squatted on the ridge, holding his chin and watching Qin Ling tinkering on the ground, "You catch it like this, won't you have it again tomorrow?" It's a waste of time, so you might as well make me something to eat. โ€

"This food is the living guarantee for next year, how can you ignore it?" Qin Ling replied: "Second girl, go back first, I'll come back when I'm done." โ€

Mingshu pinched a locust, "Is this edible to eat?" โ€

Qin Ling turned her head to look at Mingshu, and said after a while: "It's okay to eat, but it shouldn't be very delicious." โ€

Modern times can also make delicious tastes, here...... I guess it's not much to eat.

Mingshu also casually asked, she didn't plan to eat insects, she had chicken legs to eat, why did she eat such a thing.

Mingshu threw away the locusts and said, "I can afford to raise you, even if you don't make it, you won't go hungry." โ€

"Poofโ€”"

Qin Ling came out of the ground, she wiped the sweat on her forehead, "Second girl, why did you say this so misleadingly, although we are both women, you should pay attention to what you say, it is not good to be heard and spread indiscriminately." โ€

If it weren't for the fact that in the past few days she had figured out why she followed her so much, Qin Ling would have felt that she liked herself.

"What are you afraid of, you can still pass me on as a man?" Mingshu didn't care.

Qin Ling smiled, she walked to the ridge, sat down to rest, and talked to Mingshu for a while.

"These insects are called locusts, they have a strong reproductive ability, and if they continue like this, they will eat up the crops sooner or later." Qin Ling was worried.

She wasn't actually good at growing crops, but looking at Qin's father and Qin's mother, she had to think of a way.

Mingshu listened absentmindedly to Qin Ling's chatter.

When to go back to cooking?

What are you going to do for me today?

"Ahh

A scream suddenly sounded not far away, and the people in the field looked over there.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ling also stood up.

I saw a man stumbling out of the ground, shouting, "Dead, dead!" โ€

Dead?!

-

The one who died was the daughter-in-law of the Liu San family in the village, that is, the woman who identified Liu Xinyue in the ancestral hall before.

Mingshu stood outside and looked at the dead man, who was covered with a layer of grass, on which many locusts rested, and half of his body was sunk in the mud.

Liu Xinyue shouldn't be so bold, just kill someone, right?!

The dead man was such a big thing, and the villagers ran to report it to the official.

The officers and soldiers came in a mighty manner, drove away the villagers who were watching the scene, and everyone was driven to the ridge on the side.

"Which bastard did it, don't let me know...... you, you died so miserably! Official, you have to make decisions for us......" Liu San, as a family member, scolded and cried at the scene.

The officers and soldiers had already pulled the body out of the field and carried it down the road.

The county official has a big belly, and he sees that he is full of authority on weekdays, but today he cautiously follows behind a young man.

The young man is about twenty-four, dressed in white, wearing a jade crown, and his temperament is like a flower, and he is very human at first glance.

is even more charming, like those noble sons of the family who came out of the drama, their gestures are full of dignity, but with a bit of a ruffian smile on their faces, they are full of gentlemen.

"Who's that? It's so beautiful......"

"Seeing that the county officials are so careful to accompany them, they must be nobles."

"I haven't seen the county magistrate so cautious, how old is this person?"

The villagers discussed in whispers, guessing the identity of the young man.

The young man didn't go down, he stood carelessly more than ten meters away from the corpse, and he didn't know whether to sigh or laugh, "It's strange that there are still dead people in this place." โ€

County Official: "......"

The county magistrate coughed and asked the official over there, "What's the matter?" โ€

"Your Excellency." One of the officials ran over, "Cheng Gongzi." โ€

The young man held his arms and didn't react at all.

The official knew that the identity of the person in front of him was awesome, and he didn't want to deal with himself, so he continued to answer the county official's question, "The deceased is from Yunli Village, that is her husband, the deceased was strangled and thrown in the field, and the villagers found that there was nothing suspicious at the scene except for the corpse." โ€

There was a person standing next to him, the county official didn't dare to be mediocre, and secretly wiped his cold sweat, "Who was the last to see the deceased?" โ€

"It's the husband of the deceased, Liu San." The official replied, "Last night, Liu San and a few people from the same village went hunting in the mountains, and the deceased sent him when he left. No one in the village has seen the dead again. โ€

The county magistrate asked a few more questions, but to no avail.

The county magistrate asked all the villagers in the village to be questioned, and Mingshu was naturally no exception, but she was not familiar with the deceased and did not say anything.

"Second girl of the Liu family, come over for a moment." The county official suddenly waved at Mingshu, if it wasn't for the reminder from the person next to him, he wouldn't have recognized it, it was the second girl of the Liu family.

Looks like a real sign......

The villagers looked at Mingshu one after another.

Mingshu was stunned for a moment, with shallow ripples in his eyes, and then he held a grass in his mouth and shook it slowly.

In the past, when he was going to pass by the corpse, Mingshu did not squint, and even had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked very steadily.

"Something?"

She glanced at the young man across from her, then looked away.

The county official said: "The second girl of the Liu family, this is from the capital...... Cheng Gongzi, he is going to Liufu, please lead the way? โ€

Mingshu smiled before speaking, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked like a crescent moon, "The most magnificent and luxurious one is, what is there to lead the way." โ€

How could anyone dare to speak like this in front of him, the county official was about to have a seizure, and then remembered the person standing next to him now, so he had to say kindly: "Cheng Gongzi came for the first time, the road in the village is complicated, I am afraid that it will fork in the road, so the second girl of the Liu family will lead the way for Cheng Gongzi." โ€

Although he didn't dare to get angry, the words behind him were obviously tough.

"No, no." Mingshu refused, smiling with his eyebrows, "I want to see you solve the case." โ€

County Official: "......"

What's so nice about the dead!!

This is from the capital!!

This dead girl doesn't know the severity, what a blessing it is for people to go to your Liufu!!

"It's okay, you can go back when it's over." Cheng Gui stopped the county official.

Mingshu smiled, didn't respond to his words, turned around and walked back to the villagers watching the show.

Everyone said so, what can the county official say, he can only secretly scold Mingshu in his heart for not knowing the height of the sky.

This Liufu didn't know what virtue the ancestors had accumulated, so they asked the nobles from the capital to find their names and surnames.
