Chapter 209: Where the Dead Bodies Came From
Xiao Bai shifted his gaze from the silhouette of the beautiful man to the tea cup on the table. What's so nice about an ordinary tea cup, it turns out that he is a person who sees things.
Since the last time he went up the hill for a barbecue with them, he had already thrown in the towel. But the lovesickness for him in my heart still can't be looked at for a long time; He is the one who appears in his dreams the most, and he is also the one who gives his heart a beat.
"I wonder if the prince will know when the county lord will come back?" Xiaobai had no choice but to do what he liked, otherwise the topic would not have been able to start.
Sure enough, when he mentioned the eldest girl Li Yulang's handsome eyebrows, there was a slight subtle change, "I'll be back soon." β
"There is an epidemic over there, and I don't know if the county lord is safe?" Xiaobai sighed, thinking a lot in his head.
β¦β¦
Dawa instructed the kitchen to be ready, and Dawa personally served it.
When Li Yulang saw this group of harmony, he thought in his heart that it was the time; I originally wanted to eat this ball of harmony, but this village girl just didn't make it for herself, she only made noodles for herself every day, and if she could eat the noodles he made now, it would be great.
"Li Gongzi, do you know the situation of my sister?" Dawa couldn't wait to know the situation of Daya, and there was no news for several days, and she was still a little worried, after all, it was a plague.
She ...... a ball was about to be imported, but it was put back in the bowl, and her heart hurt secretly, and a sad look flashed in his eyes, "She will be back in a few days." At this time, he had no intention of eating this meatball that he liked very much.
"That's good, everyone in the family is chanting my sister. Yesterday, the owner of a winery came to talk to my sister about business. "As long as the eldest baby hears Li Yulang say this, it proves that the sister is safe.
"That'...... Son, you use it slowly, and the little woman retires. Xiaobai bowed slightly. Xiaobai peeked at Li Yulang and walked out. The eldest baby also made a salute, greeted and walked out.
Li Yulang just nodded slightly, and continued to send this delicious mouth that often had no appetite, as if every ball was bitter.
Walked out of the Xiangmanlou, and went to every store of the big girl to inspect it, the wind and waves were calm, except for the guests, there was nothing else, it seemed that this was the eve of the storm.
β¦β¦
"Something's wrong! Oh no, dead man! A man over 50 years old panicked and ran from the street to the county government in great panic.
When I came to the county office, I beat the drum directly. The people on the street were curious, what was the situation, where were the dead? One by one, they watched curiously at the gate of the county office.
A guard walked out, "Hey uncle, what are you knocking, what's wrong, look at you sweating profusely?" β
"Uncle Guan, it's not good, it's dead, it's scary." The people's faces were full of terror.
"Don't worry, where are you?" The official saw that this uncle was honest, and he was really frightened, so he was sure that this thing was true.
"It's just outside the city in the lake, I'm going fishing, I'm ...... I...... I caught them, too...... Too...... It's terrifying. The people were still trembling, and they seemed to be terrified.
"You wait here, I'll report it, and you'll take us there later." So saying, he trotted in, and not long after. A group of officers and soldiers with swords at their waists ran out of the county office in a neat and orderly manner.
"Uncle, you lead the way." The official just now let me know.
"Hey...... Ay...... Ay. The people replied with their legs out of the city, and then bought a group of officers and soldiers to follow.
The people behind were curious to follow the officials to see what was going on.
β¦β¦
As soon as Li Yulang came out of the song and dance workshop, he was hit by a common person, knocking his whole body to the side. A group of footsteps followed behind him. He thinks so much about it now, and his heart follows the big girl, turning his body to the side and letting them pass.
"Ahem." Two dry coughs, a mouthful of fishy sweetness came out of his throat. Li Yulang swallowed this fishy sweetness stiffly, smiled bitterly, thinking that he was an emotionless person, but he didn't expect that he would be so affectionate for that village girl. Li Yulang, it turns out that you also have love.
β¦β¦
When the people came to the lake with their officials, a foul smell came to their nostrils, and it was sparsely populated, except for a few anglers. No one is fishing here today. The people were about to go to the lake, but they did not dare to go any further, but pointed to the lake and said:
"That's it...... Only...... There it is. β
The official looked at it, and it seemed that there were birds eating meat there, "Let's go, go over and have a look." The head catcher who led the team waved his hand, and the officials ran over one by one. Before they were five meters away, a flock of birds fluttered their wings and flew away from the foul-smelling area.
The officials were so unbearable by the stench that they forcibly walked in with their mouths and noses covered. Oops, my. The necks of the two heads were tied together, exposing the skulls that had been pecked by the birds, sometimes carrying white bones. There are also a lot of fish and shrimp swaying in the water below, and they are enjoying this food. There was also an overturned barrel and a fishing rod next to it.
"Head, this ...... What to do? The official covered his mouth and nose and looked at the two disgusting heads.
"Let's get it back first." The leading official waved his hand and frowned, as far away as he wanted.
"Yes." The official waved his hand, "Come, get it back!" As he spoke, several people took out handkerchiefs from their waists, covered their mouths and noses, took out the guys, and busily salvaged the two corpses. The people had no list at all. I'm afraid I don't want to fish again.
The curious people covered their mouths and noses one by one and approached closer. When the officials fished up the two bodies. There was a sigh in the crowd.
Like a bee, they began to whisper.
The corpse seemed to have been submerged in water for some days. There are even fish, shrimp and insects waiting to move in the internal organs, which is extremely disgusting to look at, and some parts of the body are already without the effect of meat, and there are still a few small fish swinging in the hollowed stomach.
"Head, I haven't heard of anyone missing in the past few days, where is this from?" An official looked at their leader curiously.
"Who are they, are these two people who died in love?" An official answered.
"Someone will come to claim it when you go back."
β¦β¦
Government ......
The eldest girl slept for a while, woke up, the sky had darkened, walked out of the door, sat in the courtyard, looked at the stars in the sky, and seemed to feel that the time passed so slowly tonight. I used to wake up to dawn, but now the moon is still there.
"County Lord, you haven't rested yet?" An unfamiliar voice came in.
The big girl looked back, isn't this the Su County Order that was released today? "My lord, why haven't you slept yet?" Hold out your hand and motionfor him to sit down.
"Ugh." Su Xian Ling let out a long sigh, sat on the stone bench opposite the eldest girl, and poured a cup of tea for the eldest girl, "Alas-" Another sigh contained a lot of things.
"If the adults don't dislike me as a little woman, you can tell me about your worries." Taking advantage of the fact that I am also bored, I have something in my heart, but I can't do anything, so I might as well be a listener.
"Here, Weichen has to thank the county lord for saving the life of the person who pretended to be me." Su Xian Ling said, like a big girl bowing her hand.
"Oh?" The big girl looked at the Nasu County Order in confusion, there is still a story here? The more doubts in my heart rose.
"Actually, the person who pretended to be me is my sworn brother, otherwise how could I have survived until now, alasβI'm just afraid ......" Su Xian Ling stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" The eldest girl picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, it seems that there are really a lot of stories here.
"The county lord doesn't know ......"
The two talked for a long time before the eldest girl could figure out what was going on. It turned out that the family of the county commander was controlled by this fat-headed and big-eared guy, and if he didn't do what they did, then his family, his mother, children, and wife would all be killed.
So don't detain yourself, just sit and show them, for more than a year, this fake county order has not done anything bad to the people, nor has it made any contribution to the people.
The big girl sighed, this is a wrong step, a wrong step, and now there is no way out. Like those bandits, they will take care of your family for you, only a fool will believe it, "What about his family now?" β
Su Xian Ling sighed and shook his head with a worried face.
"Have you told Your Highness about this?"
"I said it,"
The eldest girl thought about it for a while, but she didn't know how to deal with this matter, and it was not easy for a woman to interfere in their government affairs, just as Qin Gang said, women interfering in court politics would destroy the nine clans.
"Master Su, you still want to think about how to cheer up the people here, after all, they have experienced such a big twist and turn. His Highness will arrange other things. The eldest girl said this, and the county magistrate also understood what the eldest girl meant.
"I wonder if there are other people in the county lord's family?" Su County shifted the topic quite quickly.
The eldest girl raised her eyebrows lightly and looked at him, is this checking the household registration? He also asked me how many people there were in my family, "There are many of them." He smiled faintly.
"Oh." Su Xian Ling secretly let out a sigh of relief. Knowing that the county lord didn't want to talk so much, he didn't want to ask again, "Then the county lord, you should rest early, and Weichen will retire." β
"Master Su, how did His Highness deal with this matter?" The eldest girl also wants to know the outcome of this matter.
"Back to the county lord, His Royal Highness has handed over the power of this matter to Weichen." Su County ordered to bow his hand.
"Oh, that's fine, what are you going to do next?" was already a little suspicious of the people here, and the eldest girl hoped that she could help them and find out the truth about this matter as soon as possible.
