Chapter 426: Wang Ba Takes the Blame
Zhuang Rou finally knew who Hongzhou was, constantly ruining his reputation, who could it be except for Chu Xia, the king of the small county!
Is this also what my brother instructed and arranged?
If so, then satisfy them.
Zhuang Rou knew that it wouldn't be long before her laughter would be known to everyone in Hongzhou, and her notoriety would be known to the whole world.
In order to start mining and get silver earlier, she, the horse, ignored the obstruction of Lord Zhizhou, and ordered the corpses of the people to be set on fire. Let them not be buried in the ground, and they will not let their families see each other for the last time.
When Lord Zhizhou blamed herself for her incompetence and shed tears for the people who were burned, she looked at the fire and laughed proudly, it can be said that she can no longer be regarded as a human being.
She laughed, looked up at the sky-high firelight, and muttered to herself, "Brother, ......"
Chu Xia looked back at her, inexplicably a little weak-hearted, but he didn't go over to explain anything to her.
He lowered his head and lowered his eyes, since he had become his own person, he could only bear all the costs, which was also Zhuang Rou's own choice again and again.
I didn't want to be involved with her too much, but she took the initiative to come up again and again, and dared to make a covenant of life and death, so she could never go back, there is no regret medicine in this world.
Under the fire, everyone's face had a different expression, the smoke rushed into the sky in the darkness, and the black ashes that burned up floated in the wind, constantly drifting around people.
Countless people are thinking that those who may be the souls of the deceased, reluctant to let go of their families, wandering around and refusing to leave.
Will they go to the person who gave this order, and they will not leave to ask why they are not allowed to be buried in the ground, and not let their families see each other for the last time.
Why are you so moral, unhumane!
Everyone quietly looked at the villain who had done this, wanting to see if she was moved.
But after Zhuang Rou laughed, she didn't say anything again, she just stood there and looked up at the corpse mountain, without showing the slightest fear and timidity, only Mu Ran on her face.
And Chu Xia sat there, wrapping his cloak tightly from time to time, showing a haggard appearance in the firelight, which made people can't help but worry whether he would not be able to hold it and faint.
The fire burned all night, because it was poured with tung oil, and when the sky was bright, the corpse mountain had been burned to ashes, and no human appearance could be seen anymore.
Zhuang Rou walked in front of Chu Xia at this time, looked at him and said, "I'm tired and want to go back." ”
Chu Xia also raised his head, stretched out his hands and held her somewhat cold hands, "Then you go back first, Fan Liye and Zhou Zhongren's corpses, I will bring them back later." ”
"Why don't you burn it together?" Zhuang Rou asked.
"For King Ann must know who killed them." We didn't kill people, and we don't carry this black cauldron. Chu Xia said in a weak tone, he was still a little tired after sitting here for most of the night.
Zhuang Rou frowned and asked, "Who killed it?" ”
Hearing her ask, Chu Xia shook his head with a smile and said softly, "Of course it's the truth, the Falcon Sect sent the Mu Clan to kill it." Others may not know the truth, but Prince An must know that this matter really has nothing to do with us. ”
"Prince An can go to whoever he wants to settle accounts, there are a large group of people in the capital, but unfortunately they have nothing to do with us. This king never carries the black cauldron, but only wants to clean up the aftermath for you. ”
Zhuang Rou tilted her head and pondered for a while, and found the words in his words, "So if there is a pot in the future, will I carry it?" ”
Chu Xia patted her hand, nodded heavily, and said earnestly: "It's the eighth king who carries the blame, so this king can't carry the blame." ”
"......" Zhuang Rou gritted her teeth with wide eyes, if she didn't remember what stupid thing she did in the Mid-Autumn Festival, she really wanted to punch it.
Beauty is wrong!
Now she finally understands the meaning of these four words, and she also knows what it means to be self-inflicted and not to live, it should be that she is stupid now!
Zhuang Rou glanced at Chu Xia deeply, "I'm going back, you can continue to toss here." ”
Chu Xia shouted: "Ma Dezheng, send your family back, be smart on the way." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely send the horse master back to the yamen safely." Ma De patted his chest and reassured, and escorted Zhuang Rou away.
As soon as she had left, the servants began to talk in low voices, all about how she was inhuman, and who had gone out of her way to say all the bad things she could think of, and that everyone was more united than ever to speak ill of the same person.
Chu Xia didn't say anything, he still had to pretend to be a good parent who loved the people like a son, and sat there quietly watching them talk nonsense.
After a long time, he finally couldn't help but sigh and said, "Fortunately, Zhuang Horse has no subordinates, so he is unpopular." Otherwise, tonight's conversation reached her ears, and it was possible that something would happen in a fit of anger. ”
Suddenly, everyone closed their mouths and looked at Lord Zhizhou in horror. Then he looked at the person who was talking together just now, will anyone go to tell the truth?
Regardless of whether there is a whistleblower or not, everyone finally shut up, and they were taken to whistleblowers by people with hearts, and they were the unlucky ones. It's not reliable to say bad things in private, but it's only reliable to say it when you're with the Iron Brothers.
No one chatted anymore, and they all began to silently scoop up the ashes, and it was finally quiet.
Chu Xia wrapped his cloak and got into the carriage that deliberately followed the people and horses from behind. There was a thick cushion inside, and he lay down on it, holding the hand warmer that Xiao Ran had prepared at some point, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
All the officials of the entire city of Hongzhou went to the valley in the middle of the night, and the well-informed people knew about it at dawn.
There was a large iron mine in Hongzhou, which was occupied by a bunch of bandits, and many people were abducted to work in the mine, creating weapons and selling them to bandits and robbers, and some of them even went to enemy countries.
Not to mention these, when they saw the government suppressing bandits, they felt that there was no hope of escape, so they killed everyone in a frenzy.
The history of the evil ghosts in Hongzhou, as a woman, is not virtuous at all, in order to start mining earlier, she burned all the corpses, and did not wait for a missing person in the family to find a corpse, so she burned it all.
Everyone privately scolded her for being a bloody dog, such a cruel guy is even more terrible than bandits. Those lonely souls and wild ghosts should go to her to settle accounts, this is called cause and effect!
"Bastard!" In the command department of the Hongzhou Health Station, the commander made Yang Rong overturn all the things on the desk to the ground, and was so angry that his fist clenched and slammed it on the table, and the table was pierced by him, and he punched a hole the size of a bucket.
He suppressed his voice, gritted his teeth and scolded word by word: "That mine is mine!" ”
"These five wastes that are not enough to succeed and more than to fail! I knew that now, I should have killed them all to get merit when I was suppressing the bandits, instead of letting them take over the mine! ”
Yang Rong walked around the house with his hands behind his back, constantly cursing to his advisers, "They ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, what are they doing to catch the two grandsons of King Na'an!" Even if you are caught, you can kill it quietly or tell me, you dare to carry a message behind my back! ”
He walked up to the strategist and sprayed the other party's face, "Now that the Mu clan has killed people, it is definitely an order from those people in the capital." Then King An can also think of this, go around and around, and when the time comes, I will see that my responsibility is great, I had better be bullied, this bad debt will definitely be counted on my head! ”
Ding Moushi didn't dare to wipe the saliva on his face, and arched his hand: "My lord, we can also push this matter to the King of Yinde County." This is his jurisdiction, and he doesn't know that the mine is occupied, and the security is so bad that King An's grandson is killed, and he can't escape from it. ”
Yang Rong walked up to Ding Moushi, the tip of his nose was almost on his face, and roared angrily: "Mine! I'm talking about mines! Those two grandsons are dead, and what the official wants is a mine! ”
