Chapter Ninety-Two: The First Sight of Jinyi Wei Qianhu
Merchants love cloud dreams, and don't know where to go home. β
This is a nursery rhyme in Yunmeng Town, praising Yunmeng Town for its comfort and comfort, lively and wealthy.
There is no first-class wealth and glory in Jinling, the gentle township of Hangzhou City, and the prosperity of fish and rice in Yangzhou City. But expensive on a "in all directions".
There is a saying: medicine is not in Yunmeng, clothes are not in Yunmeng, lead powder is not in Yunmeng, and people do not know the world if they don't know Yunmeng.
Today, everything has changed.
The former merchants always stopped at the mass graves outside the city. The small traders who used to do business along the street have long since become a crow's belly Chinese food. Those who died early still had a thin-skinned coffin, and the bamboo mat who died late was only half a bed.
Those who did not die were the worst, not to mention the lack of medical care and medicine in the city, and there was no food rationing. The cannibalism of Yi Zi has long been an open secret.
Yunmeng Town has become a purgatory on earth, a place where even the most horrific nightmares are difficult to depict.
In Jiang Jaeyu's territory, countless tents were set up in the field of the officers and soldiers of Yunmeng Town, which were used to stack the soldiers who were living and dying. The dead and the living were piled together, and the stench was terrible. The people in the city also see a doctor on campus, and those who can take medicine may still have a glimmer of life. If you can't take medicine, it's enough to just wait for death.
If Yunmeng Town has become a purgatory on earth, then the school field in Yunmeng Town is the eighteenth layer of hell. The living and the dead are no different here, and everyone is numb to life and death.
"How do you ride a horse? Can such a wide road be bumped into? β
Zhu Hongyu leaned against the carport and took a nap, and when she entered Yunmeng Town, she was hit by a horseman. Perhaps it is more appropriate to use "touch porcelain".
The coachman stopped the carriage, and Zhu Hongyu opened the curtain and jumped out of the car. It's also Qingqi, in such a plague-ravaged ghost place, there are still people touching porcelain, who is so boring?
Standing in front of them was a tall, black horse. On it sat a man, dressed in a silk garment and a cape.
Because of the backlight, Zhu Hongyu really couldn't see his face clearly.
"Excuse me, how do you get to the county office?"
The coachman was about to get angry, but was stopped by Zhu Hongyu, a man with a tall head and a big horse, who spoke in an excellent voice. With an innate sense of luxury.
"You go to the county office? I'll go too. This is the county government's car, you can follow along. β
The rider did not express any gratitude to Zhu Hongyu, but was still a little arrogant. Zhu Hongyu didn't want to quarrel with the living in such a "dead city".
Here, death is too easy.
Zhu Hongyu got back into the carriage, and after traveling some distance, the horseman outside knocked on the carport with his bone joints, and Zhu Hongyu lifted the curtain and poked his head out.
Amazing!
This man is as he spoke, and this skin is very tight. The sword eyebrows and starry eyes are heroic, but there is a trace of ruthlessness and viciousness between the eyebrows, and the eyes are even deeper and bottomless.
The body is not very strong, but it can be seen that the body is very well-proportioned, and he is also a practitioner...... By the way, the ass is really warped. I saw that he had a sword hanging from his waist and was wearing a narrow-sleeved round-necked robe. He still looks like a man with a lot of fame.
"What's wrong?"
"Does the girl also go to the county office? What to do? β
This should have been a boring conversation on the road, and the two of them chatted to pass the time, but they were forced to feel like a prisoner by this man.
Zhu Hongyu leaned on the car window and showed a charming smile. A good-looking little brother, who doesn't like it?
"This lord, can you communicate your name with me first and say peace to each other?"
"Your Excellency?"
The man stopped talking, and suddenly became a lot more wary of Zhu Hongyu.
"Don't think about it, I just saw you in a round-necked robe with a sword on your body, riding a horse yourself. Our court stipulates that only those who have meritorious names can wear round-necked robes on the streets. And you wear a sword and a military general's light boots, and you don't think you're a literati. Besides, military generals like to ride horses, and civil officials can only sit in sedan chairs. So you're a military attachΓ©, right? β
The man looked at Zhu Hongyu again and found that this girl was definitely not simple. Although he was vigilant, he still replied to Zhu Hongyu's question out of courtesy.
"In Xia Lu Mingci, dare to ask what the girl is called?"
Zhu Hongyu snorted, her tone was raised, with a banter, which should also be a punishment for his rude behavior just now, and did not answer his question.
Lu Ming was stunned. He Lu Ming's resignation, dignified brocade clothes and thousands of households, was actually seen through by a little girl. If it is said that looking at people should be the most accurate of their brocade guards, this little girl is also a young lady from a rich and noble family, no matter how she looks at it.
Could it be that he has lost his eyes?
"Lu is presumptuous, may I ask the girl why she is so knowledgeable?"
Zhu Hongyu looked the person in front of her up and down, and suddenly changed her mood from the disdain just now, and changed to a flattering smile.
"Don't Jinyiwei know my identity either?"
Lu Mingci was startled again and almost fell off the horse. What Zhu Hongyu wanted was Lu Mingci's shock and hesitation, who let him disturb her carriage just now. Boy, you'll have to pay it back sooner or later.
"Who are you?"
Threatened by this voice, Zhu Hongyu did not panic and smiled.
She was a doctor invited by the governor, and now she is more expensive than a giant panda. Yes, Jinyiwei is indeed directly under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, but it is also a position that cannot be put on the table. Her Zhu Hongyu is not worthy of Jinyiwei's investigation, so this Lord Lu will definitely not dare to offend the magistrate.
Speaking of being able to see the flying fish suit, Zhu Hongyu really thanked herself for her mouthy words at that time......
Before being reborn, Zhu Hongyu saw a group of richly dressed Hanfu parties on the university campus. A junior brother of the Chinese Department wore a flying fish suit, she thought it was really good-looking, so she went up and asked, thinking that it was best to add a WeChat to exchange feelings, but she was fiercely disliked by this junior.
But in the end, I knew that the one he was wearing was a flying fish suit, the official uniform of the brocade guard.
"You guessed, you guessed right, I'll tell you."
After speaking, as soon as Zhu Hongyu put down the car curtain, she quickly held back her laughter.
Lu Mingci was also a little annoyed, this girl was very hateful, very annoying, and full of playfulness!
He lifted the curtain, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his ruthless temperament did not change in the slightest, but his attitude was much better than just now.
"I think I know. If you are like you, who don't know the height of the sky, and are familiar with the official system of the imperial court and are not afraid of the name of Jinyiwei, you should be the daughter of the current governor of Ganzhou. β
Oh well.
Zhu Hongyu admitted that Lu Mingci was quite smart, at least in his investigation method, summed up the most likely possibility.
But alas, she's not! She is just a little baby who loves to read and learn, and while earning money to support her family, she reads some books to relax and relax. It turned out to come in handy now, and that's really a cool word.
"Master Lu, although I don't know your rank now, but you can enter the Jinyi Guard, and I think you are also a former expert in investigating cases. Have you ever guessed it? β
Lu Mingci shook his head proudly, as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, he could become one of the twelve people under the command of the capital, he had his own connections, family background, but more importantly, his ability.
"You were really wrong today. Happy? For the first time in my life. β
Lu Mingci was stunned for a moment, and became more and more annoyed. But thinking that this girl was very naughty, it should have been just to make him happy.
"After a while, I will make it clear to Ling Zun and let Ling Zun discipline him on his behalf. Talk to a foreign man without permission, and be careful with your ass blooming. β
"Oh?" Zhu Hongyu didn't answer, she was treated as a daughter and had an extra courtesy, what's so bad?
She didn't deceive Lu Mingci, but he didn't believe it.
"My lord is in the brocade guard, what kind of errand is it?"
Of course, Lu Mingci wanted to tell Zhu Hongyu his identity, but because he also had a task now, he was really sloppy.
"The adults are all sitting high in the court and pointing out the country, and I am just a little minion."
Well, Zhu Hongyu didn't think that there would be any high-level brocade guards who appeared by her side, and then ran into her.
No one would have thought that the two would continue to play this fun game of concealing their identities for a few days.
Yunmeng Town is not big, you can get to Baihu Street after passing through Zhuque Street, Zhu Hongyu walked all the way to see all the way, Huimin Pharmacy has already closed its doors, Boss Zhou's porcelain shop has also been emptied, and Jin Yuman's water shop is even closer.
That day, she came to Yunmeng Town to sell eggs, and the situation resurfaced in front of her again.
At the intersection, a left turn is made, and the street lined with government houses is even more terrifying. The corpse truck was full of wagons full of corpses, tied up like pigs, and dragged out of the city by the coachmen.
On one street, the county government also closed its gates, and only one school field was open, and that was where Zhu Hongyu came last time.
At that time, it was a place of singing, dancing, drinking, and gathering, but now it has become a paradise for the plague, where the virus spreads rapidly, and those in the midst of the plague do not know that they are in danger.
"Girl." The coachman pulled Zhu Hongyu to the door and set a small stool for Zhu Hongyu to get out of the car.
But Lu Mingci frowned, what he saw along the way was really terrifying, if he hadn't been in the army, and then he was selected into the Jinyi Guard, I am afraid that he would have been frightened.
Zhu Hongyu got out of the car, walked into the school with her bags on her back, and the two were led by the coachman to the school gate. There were no guards or identities at the gate. There is no reason to defend such a place, and healthy soldiers have to guard against rebellion.
When I walked into the school field, I saw that there were many tents on the school field, all of which were military tents when the army was marching and fighting. The man inside was lying on the ground with a mattress underneath him. The smell inside the tent was terrible, and the ground was extremely filthy.
Zhu Hongyu only glanced inside, and quickly flashed back her gaze. What a purgatory on earth!
The door of the main hall was opened, the doctors sat in the hall, and the medicinal materials were also piled up in the hall, which were managed and grabbed by several elderly doctors.
In the corridor outside the main hall, a row of medicine pots were burned, and the fire continued all night, and the medicine pots were put on the stove one after another to boil the medicine, and the medicine entered the stomachs of these individuals with little effect.
Zhu Hongyu and Lu Mingci walked into the main hall, only to see Jiang Zaiyu sitting in the hall, Wang Shiru and Chao Jianling nowhere to be seen. Jiang Zaiyu had some friendship with her, and seeing that Jiang Jaeyu was in charge, Zhu Hongyu felt a little better.
According to the official etiquette system, Zhu Hongyu knelt down and bowed to Jiang Jaeyu.
"I've seen Jiang Jiaotou. Hongyu is late, and hopes to forgive her sins. β
Jiang Jae-woo immediately exempted Zhu Hongyu from the ceremony. looked up and down at Lu Mingci beside Zhu Hongyu, and wanted to ask who this person was? But in the next second, he saw Lu Mingci wearing a flying fish suit, with the Qingfeng sword hanging from his waist.
Hurriedly stood up and saluted, just like Zhu Hongyu saw Jiang Zaiyu, he also knelt down.
"I don't know if the Jinyi guard is coming, and the last general is willing to be punished!"
Lu Ming dismissed Jiang Jaeyu's etiquette and presented his waist card.
"Zhengde Jinyi Qianhu Lu Mingci" is a few big words on the waist card, and his identity is confirmed.
