Chapter 221: What Pigs Don't Eat
The life of the emperor's only son finally allowed Chu Lixue to be pulled back from the Ghost Gate. There are festivals between adults, but children are innocent, and Chu Lixue will definitely not hurt a child.
The detoxification decoction was distributed all day, and the disaster was under control, but when checking the drinking registration, Ning Xiang found that none of the Bai family appeared. Even Bai Ruyan, who lived in King Chen's Mansion, never came. This family really doesn't know whether to live or die.
Anyway, since the other party wants to die, why does she bother to send the antidote to others? However, even if they didn't come to take the antidote, it wouldn't matter, Chu Lixue had already ordered people to sprinkle the medicine powder in the upwind outside the city, and also put the antidote in all the wells in the city.
At the beginning of the distribution of the antidote, Chu Lixue knew that there would be people who would not come to take the antidote, so she had already made preparations. It's just that Chu Lixue didn't expect that the Bai family would refuse to even take the antidote because of the festival with her.
The corpse poison in Yuncheng has been resolved, but the person who killed Wu Wei has not been found, and the spearhead is directly aimed at General Xu Daan, but this General Xu Daan has always lived in the barracks, and it is really tricky to check his details.
The emperor returned to the palace with a group of people, vowing to find out who returned the little prince, Chu Lixue said that the poison in the little prince is different from others, that is, the little prince was killed. He must find the person who harmed his son, it is so vicious, he wants him to cut off his children and grandchildren, if he finds this person, he will have to skin this person and cramp to relieve his hatred. But if he wanted to find out where to start, the emperor had no idea.
"Wanyue, you brought Qin Yu here." Chu Lixue took a sip of tea and said lightly.
"Miss wants to see Qin Yu?" Wanyue wondered.
Qin Yu's husband was killed by Guo Xian, and now that Guo Xian has been corrected, what are you looking for Qin Yu to do? But no matter what, since Chu Lixue ordered her to do this, then she naturally had to do it.
Two hours later, Qin Yu was quietly brought into the Ling Mansion by Wanyue through the back door, and Guo Xian's family was solved, and Qin Yu has been living in a small village outside the city, incognito, and living an ordinary life of farming and weaving all day long.
"Qin Yu has seen the county lord, the county lord has just finished the corpse poison case, it's not good to rest, is there anything to do with letting the concubine come?" Qin Yu said with a light smile.
"Qin Yu, have you seen that General Xu?" Chu Lixue got straight to the point.
In fact, all this can be said to be the result of General Xu's evil, if it was released that he did not covet the wealth of the wealthy merchants in the city, then he would not have ordered the slaughter of the city, and naturally, Qin Yu's husband would not have been killed by Guo Xian for money. Chu Lixue understood this, and with Qin Yu's intelligence, she could naturally think of this.
"Does the county lord think that the poisoned Wu Wei has something to do with General Xu? The concubine heard that Na Wuwei was once a fierce general under General Xu's account, and later returned to the field because of injury. It's been so many years, if General Xu wanted to kill him, he should have done it a long time ago, so why wait until today? Qin Yu wondered. But she still expressed all the doubts in her heart.
Since Chu Lixue helped her take revenge and salvaged her husband's body for proper burial, she has been grateful to Chu Lixue, even if Chu Lixue had some use of her, she has also helped her take revenge, as for use, who is not living in the use and being used in this person's life.
"Maybe Wu Wei didn't pose a threat to General Xu before, but now it is, so General Xu wants to kill him." Chu Lixue said lightly.
"Although I haven't seen that Wuwei concubine, the concubine knows him, and as for General Xu, the concubine has only seen one or two sides, and she is not familiar with him." Qin Yu replied truthfully.
"Then would you like to help the county lord describe the appearance of General Xu and let the county lord hear it?"
"Hmm...... That's fine, it's just that after so many years, everyone's appearance will change. Of course, Qin Yu understood what Chu Lixue meant, and with her description of General Xu, then Chu Lixue would definitely sketch out the appearance of this person in her mind, and then follow the map.
"You don't have to worry about the rest, you just need to tell the county lord the appearance of General Xu truthfully." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Immediately, Qin Yu described the appearance of General Xu bit by bit, Qin Yu described a sentence, Chu Lixue took a pen and drew a few strokes on the paper, and before Qin Yu finished describing, Chu Lixue's portrait was completed.
When Chu Lixue showed the portrait to Qin Yu, Qin Yu was taken aback, he didn't expect that the county lord of Qinghe still had such a painter, with a few strokes on the paper, he had already put the appearance of General Xu on the paper, and the painting looked like a real person, but it was ...... Others paint with brushes, but the county lord of Qinghe takes the thrush's Yuanshan Dai to paint, which is really a bit tyrannical.
"What? Doesn't I draw like it? Chu Lixue looked at Qin Yu and said lightly.
"Oh, no, no, no, the county lord's painting is too similar, better than those painters' paintings, I don't want the county lord to have such a ability." Qin Yu said appreciatively.
"It's good, the county lord just wants to find out the culprit, and you also want the culprit to be punished." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Qin Yu seemed to have been told what he was thinking, and he couldn't help lowering his head and not speaking again. Indeed, all this is because of General Xu, if it weren't for him, maybe his husband would still be alive in the world.
It was night, Liuyue was patrolling the courtyard with the guards of the house, and when he walked to the back door, he faintly heard a faint cry.
"Brother Liuyue, listen, what kind of voice is this. It seems to be a woman's cry. A chubby guard said timidly.
"Well...... there is a woman's cry, but the women in our house are all serving by the princess's side, there will be no women, and we don't need to pay attention to the things outside the house." Liuyue said coldly.
"But Brother Liuyue, the younger one has long heard that this house has been haunted before, and there are female ghosts crying every night. It's just that later, the county lord lived in this house, and there was no more haunting. ”
"Nonsense, I don't believe in any rumors of haunting, it's just two poor homeless people who deliberately pretended to be ghosts in order to live here." Liuyue said coldly.
Everyone listened to Liuyue's words, and then they relaxed a little, but was what Liuyue said true? Also, the rumors of haunting are not groundless.
Liuyue naturally knew that his words could not reassure these people, and for the sake of today's plan, he could only find out who was pretending to be a ghost.
Immediately, Liuyue looked for the faint cry, came to the corner gate, opened the door suddenly, and happened to see a pair of sisters huddled in the corner gate.
The two sisters were dressed in tatters, and one of them was still tightly wrapped in rags, but a pair of empty and godless eyes were exposed, which made people feel worried.
"Who are you? Why do you hide here and cry in the middle of the night? Liuyue pulled out her long sword and pointed it at the two women and said coldly.
"Please don't kill us, it's too cold, and our sisters are cold and hungry, that's why we're hugging and crying here." One of the women cried.
Hearing this, Liuyue frowned slightly, there are so many mansions in this Cloud City, where can they cry, but they have to cry at the back door of the Ling Mansion, if this is a coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence.
"Hmph, you're not honest, if you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you." Liuyue said coldly.
"It's true, I'm really not lying, this house was the shelter of our sisters when it was abandoned before, and later, Guo Xian gave this house to the county lord, and after the county lord sent someone to renovate the yard and live in, we had no place to live. The beggars in the ruined temple didn't let us in, and my sister and I had to look for food in the swill bucket at the back door every day. ”
Hearing the woman say that she was looking for food in the swill bucket, those nurses couldn't help but feel disgusted, the things in the swill bucket were used to feed the pigs, and even sometimes the pigs refused to eat it, but the two of them ate what the pigs didn't eat, how could it not make people sick.
"You two are waiting here, I'll go get you two steamed buns, but you don't want to come here again in the future, if you frighten the county lord, you will be in trouble." Liuyue said coldly.
Hearing that there were steamed buns to eat, the sisters were naturally overjoyed, today they found a lot of swill buckets, but they did not find food, even a large family in the city to do happy events of the swill bucket was also early to be climbed.
Liuyue sent someone to the kitchen to get a few steamed buns, and when Liuyue handed the steamed buns to the woman, she happened to see the burned place on her hand, the skin and flesh had been purulent and ulcerated, if it weren't for the cold weather, I'm afraid the rancid smell would have floated out.
"Take the steamed buns and go, and you are not allowed to come in the future." Liuyue said coldly and slammed the door shut. He immediately ordered all the guards not to tell about tonight's events, otherwise they would be beaten and driven out of the house.
Those family guards naturally knew the weight of Liuyue in this county lord's mansion, and since the county lord had acquiesced to the security matters of Liuyue's management mansion, they naturally had the power to deal with the selection of their guards.
Since Liuyue didn't want this matter to be known by the county lord, they naturally had to keep their mouths shut and wouldn't say anything, not to mention that the two women last night were really a little out of the table.
The county lord is also a kind-hearted person, if he knows about this and takes these two women in, won't they have to watch those two monsters every day? It's still the three girls around the county lord who are more pleasing to the eye.
Chu Lixue sat at the table, holding the portrait in her hand, Wanyue, Rean Xue and Ning Xiang were all standing aside, they also knew that this was the portrait of General Xu drawn by the county lord, but they couldn't post the portrait to find someone, what should they do?
