Chapter 221: Murder is strong
The Shen pomegranate on the other end also has a harvest, and it is still useful to chat with Sister-in-law Wang.
"Last year, the court said that a big official came, and a lot of refugees appeared on the street at once, and the clothes that the big official was pulled were all in pieces, but in just a few days, as soon as the big official left, the refugees left!" Wang's sister-in-law said.
When Shen Shiliu heard it, this was obviously pretending, showing it to those officials, the messy officials were about to stop picking up, where did they dare to stay longer, and the illusion of "disaster victims everywhere" in Mincheng County was formed.
"Where are the victims?" Shen Shiliu asked.
Wang's sister-in-law pouted and said: "Who knows, it scared me enough, thinking that it was a refugee who broke the city gate and rebelled, and I didn't dare to come out of the stall for several days!" But I don't seem to have heard anyone don't rob it! ”
Shen Shiliu nodded, this matter is already obvious, someone bullied the flattery, the food money of the imperial court did flow to the pockets of some people in the end, specifically some people, the little people may not know.
At night, Du Xuanmo's face was gray, and he looked at everyone wilting.
"I'm tired, let's rest for a while, I'll make a steamed cake, and it'll be fine in a while!" Shen Shiliu looked at Du Xuan's gray face and wanted to laugh a little.
Du Xuanmo is indeed very tired, he has not consumed such physical strength in Kyoto City for a long time, and his legs are about to cramp when he walks like this.
"Is there a big gain today? I've got a reward! Shen Shiliu was more proud, and handed Shen Shiliu a handkerchief and asked him to wipe his little face.
Du Xuanmo smiled: "Tell me!" ”
Shen Shiliu told Du Xuanmo what he had heard, Du Xuanmo nodded, it was in line with what he had found, and the target was also pointed out, so that when Dali Temple came, the case would be officially under the knife.
In the next few days, Du Xuanmo will always pay attention to the situation on the street, and there will be three days in Dali Temple, and there will definitely be all kinds of good shows to watch in these days.
Shen Pomegranate is much more stable, Du Xuanmo said that he already has a score, and there is no need for Shen Pomegranate to worry about things in the future, and when Dali Temple comes, as soon as things come to the surface, they don't have to hide it like this, and Shen Pomegranate will continue to pass the time in the chaos stall.
Wang's sister-in-law took the melon seeds and ate them one by one, and said while eating: "The sugar you took last time, my family likes it, my sister has this skill, why don't you set up a stall next to it to write for home?" ”
"This thing takes a lot of work, and if it's hot, it's not easy to preserve, so I can eat as much as I want at home." Shen Shiliu said this, and said: "If my sister-in-law wants to learn, I will teach my sister-in-law, it is not difficult!" ”
"Oh, what's that embarrassing!" Sister-in-law Wang actually really wants to learn, but women's crafts are passed on to their daughters or daughters-in-law, and they are not easily passed on.
Shen Shimei actually pondered that she had been here for a few days, and people took good care of her, and she also had the element of "utilization" in herself, so she always seemed not so sincere in front of others. So it's nothing to teach Wang's sister-in-law to make a nougat, just to repay the favor for so many days.
"What else are you embarrassed about with me, learn, make some in autumn and winter, and sell them in the New Year can be regarded as subsidizing the family!" Shen Shiliu said.
Sister-in-law Wang is happy, and she is happy in her heart, if she learns how to make this thing, whether she eats it or sells it herself, she will not lose anything.
"Thank you then, Pomegranate!" Wang's sister-in-law said.
"You're polite, when the stall is closed in the evening, I'll go to your house to teach you!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile.
In the evening, Shen Pomegranate closed the stall and went to Wang's sister-in-law's house, they all lived in the slums in the south of the city, and they were not far away.
Shen Pomegranate took things by himself and taught Wang's sister-in-law how to boil, how to mix and how to cut, and it was indeed not difficult to get a set.
"Alright, it's getting late, I have to go back!" Shen Shiliu was about to leave as she spoke, but Wang's sister-in-law hurriedly stopped her husband and asked her husband to go to the kitchen to get something.
"Pomegranate, this is my freshly fried sweet potato dumplings, you can take it back and taste it!" Wang's sister-in-law said.
Shen Shiliu took it with a smile, if she didn't take it, people would definitely not be sure, so she said, "Cheng, thank you sister-in-law!" "And then I left.
It was already very dark, and Shen Shiliu walked halfway alone, and Xiao Tie came out to pick up people.
"It's okay if you don't pick it up, it's peaceful!" Shen Shiliu said.
"The young master is not at ease, let me come to ask for peace of mind!" Xiao Tie said.
The two walked forward, the nightlife in this small county town was not very fulfilling, and there were only a few shops on the street that were still bright, and the road was very quiet.
But as he walked, the footsteps in front of him were a little chaotic, and Shen Shiliu felt bad, so he pulled Xiao Tie to hide under the stall next to him and squatted down.
Soon a large group of people came over, all dressed in rags, looking very much like refugees, but their faces were very fast, not like real refugees.
"Young grandma, what are they doing?" Xiao Tie asked.
"I guess it's pretending to be refugees, and when they pass, let's leave quickly." Shen Shiliu whispered.
When everyone walked over, Shen Shiliu and Xiao Tie walked out from behind the stall, and then hurried all the way home.
Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Pomegranate was out of breath, so he asked, "What's wrong?" But in danger? ”
Shen Shiliu shook his head, gasped for breath, and said, "There are already people pretending to be refugees, and we are hiding to come back!" "If this breaks, it will be uncertain.
Du Xuanmo frowned, pulled Shen Shiliu to sit down first, and said, "You take it slowly, don't be afraid." ”
Shen Shiliu took a sip of water, and then said, "Is Dali Temple coming?" ”
Du Xuanmo nodded, it was indeed coming, so someone had already begun to prepare for the show.
"Three days later, the people from Dali Temple will come, and as soon as we meet, there will be less danger." Du Xuanmo said.
"That's just right, I'll continue to work out tomorrow." Shen Shiliu said.
"Don't go out so late in the future, what's wrong with this?" Du Xuanmo said that today Shen Shiliu went to Wang's sister-in-law's house on his own initiative, and if he knew, he would definitely not let her go.
Shen Shiliu smiled: "Okay, I'll close the stall as soon as it gets dark tomorrow." ”
As soon as Shen Shiliu slept at night, Du Xuanmo got up and re-analyzed this matter, this time the matter can't be a protracted battle, otherwise there will be more accidents, and you will have to cut through the mess quickly!
For two days in a row, there were more and more beggars on the street, and Wang's sister-in-law also saw it, so she muttered: "Look, isn't this here again, we still sell ours, and they don't rob it." ”
Shen Shiliu nodded, she didn't care if she grabbed it or not, if she took the stall, she wouldn't be able to see a lot of things.
On the day when the people of Dali Temple arrived, it was the most lively, and Shen Shimei also went to see the excitement, and the scene of the sea of people was very spectacular.
"Oops...... It is estimated that Mo Su has never been welcomed by so many refugees in his life! Du Xuanmo's voice suddenly appeared, and Shen Shiliu hurriedly turned around and found Du Xuanmo standing behind him.
"You're coming to see the fun, too?" Shen Shiliu asked.
Du Xuanmo nodded: "Well, it's really not in vain, look at the face of our Dali Temple, it's wonderful!" ”
Shen Shiliu smiled, Dali Siqing Mo Su is generally a trial file, basically an "office player", such a scene should be rare, and Mo Su is about to be pulled down by the refugees, and soon a hundred will be wisps.
Shen Shiliu watched the relevant personnel of Dali Temple come in, and Sun Tianba and Tang Anzhi were also there.
"Shaoqing should stay in the capital." Du Xuanmo said a word, and then watched the people of Dali Temple being "surrounded" by refugees and going to the official post, followed by some local officials in Mincheng County.
Du Xuanmo took a look, and there must be these few tricks behind his back.
"Let's go, too." Du Xuanmo said that he went to Shen Pomegranate's stall first, closed the stall, and asked Shen Pomegranate to wait at home, and Du Xuanmo went to the official post.
There was someone guarding the entrance of the official post, and Du Xuanmo went over and directly lit up the sign, and then it was unimpeded.
Mo Su saw Du Xuanmo, who was dressed in cloth, smiled, and said, "Lord Du has suffered these days. ”
Du Xuanmo smiled and said, "Lord Lao Mo is worried." After speaking, he looked at a few local officials next to him.
Several officials were a little evasive, this was the servant of the ministry in front of them, or the most important person in the emperor, and these lower officials had to rely on others to mix with the officialdom.
"I've only been here a few days ago, why are you looking a little nervous?" Du Xuanmo sneered.
"Don't dare, don't dare to ......," a few people said, wiping sweat on their foreheads, obviously having a ghost in their hearts.
However, Du Xuanmo didn't think that it would be enough to dispose of these people, after all, this situation was not unique to Mincheng County, and Yucheng County next to it was also this virtue, and there must be people behind.
Du Xuanmo smiled, and then said to Mo Su: "Master Mo, I have already checked some when Master Mo is free, so I can communicate with you!" ”
Mo Su nodded: "That's the best." Then he looked at a few local officials and said, "I still have something to discuss with Master Du, so let's go separately first." ”
"Yes!" Several people were ordered, although they were curious about what Du Xuanmo had found, but in the end they reluctantly left.
As soon as Du Xuanmo's identity was revealed, the forbidden troops who were secretly protecting him would not be hidden, and Du Xuanmo asked them to surround this post house, so that no flies would listen to the corner.
"Master Du, what did you gain this time?" Mo Su looked at Du Xuanmo's appearance, obviously there was something big.
Du Xuanmo said everything he had found out, and Mo Su's face was not good-looking.
"This is a disaster for the country and the people!" Mo Su was also angry, the good land was not allowed to be planted by the common people, and he also made the illusion of suffering a disaster to defraud the court of money and grain, not only committed the crime of defrauding the king, but in the end it was the common people below who suffered!
Du Xuanmo nodded: "But this time the matter can't be investigated in depth on the surface, and the last thing must be sent to the emperor!" ”
Mo Su raised his eyebrows, Du Xuanmo was also angry this time, it's not interesting to make a small fuss, and killing people is strong!
