Chapter 284: The Dead Dove

Solving the problem of celebrity and Mingyang enlightenment education, Mingyue suddenly felt relaxed, and the two returned to the county government with relaxed steps, outside the county government wall, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy was wandering, his eyes stared at the air for a moment, and he saw a white dove flying in the air, bent the leather slingshot in his hand, and shot two marbles, the white dove in the air suddenly screamed, and fell in response, and the body fell into the hands of the young man lightly.

Since Wei Zhixing moved in a few months ago, this county government has raised pigeons, first three or five carrier pigeons, and later, for the injured Mingyue to make up for his body, he raised ordinary pigeons, and even Mingyue couldn't count how many entered his stomach.

Since Wei Zhixing walked, Mingyue first hated Wei Zhixing, and then was ashamed of Wei Zhixing, so she has not paid attention to them so far, the original twenty or so pigeons, I am afraid that they have bred into hundreds of pigeons, right?

Mingyue thought that this young man was like herself, naughty and mischievous, and wanted to eat pigeon meat, so she walked up to the young man with an unkind face, stretched out her hand and said: "If you want to eat meat, go to the mountains to hunt birds and finches to eat. ”

The young man's face turned red, there was a kind of embarrassment of being caught red-handed, and he honestly handed the pigeon corpse back to Mingyue's hands, turned around and ran away shyly, ran into the alley, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The boy flashed into the alley, ran for half a column of incense before stopping, looked back and saw that Mingyue was not suspicious, nor did he chase after him, so he stopped, spread out a small bamboo stick in his palm, pulled out the note inside, burned it with a fire fold, the corners of his mouth rose, and the depths of his eyes showed a heavy and ruthless color, where is it still an eleven or twelve-year-old boy can have?

Mingyue felt the pigeon corpse in the palm of her hand, her small body, with residual warmth on it, her eyes were unwillingly open, maybe before it died, she also wanted to do a dying struggle, but after all, she couldn't escape the fate of "man-made knife, I am fish and meat".

Mingyue pulled the pigeon's tiny legs, her eyes swept under the pigeon's wings, but her eyebrows were furrowed.

Because of Wei Zhixing's relationship, Mingyue has seen a lot of pigeons, eaten a lot of pigeons, and naturally knows a lot of pigeons, especially Wei Zhixing's pigeons.

Now the pigeon left in the county government, without any marking, marked Mingyue only saw once, that is, after she was injured, Wei Zhixing asked people to send her pigeon soup, after she drank with relish, she saw Wei Yan burn the pigeon's feather ridge, under the feather ridge, with red Zhu Dan painted a small owl appearance.

Wei Yan told her that it was a carrier pigeon, and he would get a hundred taels of silver to train one out, plus half a year, no wonder Wei Yan looked like a mourner, looking at Mingyue like a mother killer, Mingyue was almost certain that Wei Yan deliberately burned feathers in front of him, but in fact warned her not to think about using pigeons to hit tooth stains.

After that, I have seen and eaten pigeons, and I have never seen a marked pigeon again, at this time this mark appeared on the pigeon corpse, Mingyue can be sure, it's not a pigeon in the county office, it's Wei Zhixing's carrier pigeon, on it, there must have been important information, but it's a pity, the pigeon died, the information is gone, the boy who beat the pigeon, is it really just a coincidence?

Wei Zhixing's carrier pigeon appeared in the sky above the county office, it must be a message to Cheng Hongluo, what kind of big thing is it, it is not used by the government's horse post, but it is a carrier pigeon? What could this confidential and urgent matter be?

A court coup?

Mingyue quickly denied this idea, if the coup d'Γ©tat in the court would not have passed the news to Cheng Hongluo, a small county order of Chaoyang County, if there is no one to ask for people, no money, no face, a drop in the bucket, it will not play a big role.

Invasion of the Northern?

Mingyue quickly denied this idea, if the Beiyu attacked, the first person to get the news should not be Wei Zhixing, but Li Fang, and he would not pass the news to Cheng Hongluo, a small county order, if there is no one to ask for money, if you want to defend the city, Leyang County is not far from the Beiyu, and it is not close to it, it is really not a frontier fortress.

Leyang County? King Lu?

Mingyue's heart stopped beating, Chaoyang County is the jurisdiction of Leyang County, and Leyang County is the territory of King Luo, isn't it what King Luo has done? Or is it that the princess turns back to find her own account? Mingyue shook her head again, Princess Lu and King Lu have already reconciled, Princess Lu is too late to hide from King Luo, how can she come to Chaoyang County?

Mingyue shook her head desperately, almost tied to death, and about the court, Cheng Hongluo, the old fritter, was more expert than herself, and Mingyue hurriedly ran to Cheng Hongluo's study to discuss countermeasures.

This matter also stumped Cheng Hongluo.

Cheng Hongluo has been in Leyang County for more than a year, because he is humble and sleek, but people can't catch the mistakes, saying that he is the person of King Luo, King Luo has never summoned Cheng Hongluo alone, nor has he asked him to do anything; Say it's not the person of King Luo, this Cheng Hongluo is thick-skinned enough, and the gifts for the New Year's holidays will not fall.

The advantage of this is that King Luo's people can't distinguish between friend and foe, so he and Cheng Hongluo can also coexist peacefully, and never give him small shoes to wear; The disadvantage is that he can't get any of the internal information of King Luo, and he can't analyze whether the disappearance of the pigeon's information has anything to do with King Wang.

The two thought for a long time, until the Liu family sent a star to urge the third meal, Cheng Hongluo said in a deep voice: "This news came too suddenly, and it was too strange, since I couldn't guess the content, I sent someone to patrol around the county office, saying that I couldn't catch the boy who was shooting pigeons, or find the carrier pigeon who sent the letter again." ”

Mingyue had no choice but to nod, remembering Liu Ying's entrustment, and asked, "Godfather, has there been a case involving Yin Jin in your yamen recently, or has Yin Jin applied for a passage guide to the yamen and left Chaoyang County?" ”

Cheng Hong shook his head without thinking about it and said: "If I ask someone else, I have to check it, but when I ask Yin Jin, I still pay attention to him, he must have framed you and your mother." This man has been very quiet lately, so I didn't provoke him, so as not to provoke him first, and he barked like a mad dog, which would affect your mother's reputation; He has never applied to the Yamen for a road guide, and he should not have left Chaoyang County. ”

Mingyue nodded, it seems that this Yin Jin is indeed a dog who can't change his, he must be deceiving Liu Ying's silver, where to hide and enjoy himself.

The two calmed their minds, worried in their hearts, and went to the dining room to eat with impermanence on their faces.

Song'er's hand was beaten with a ring ruler, and it was fateful that he couldn't hold the chopsticks, but Gao'er's hand holding the chopsticks was also trembling slightly, Chengzhu and Mingyue knew it, looked at each other and smiled, and then bowed their heads and said nothing.

After clamping the meatballs three times, Song'er looked at Mingyue pitifully, and Mingyue ignored him;

Song'er had no choice but to turn her eyes to look at the second sister star, who was still immersed in the excitement of being able to enter a girls' school in a few days, and couldn't receive Song'er's signal at all;

Song'er looked at Liu again, Liu was distressed and was about to clip a meatball for Song'er to eat, but Mingyue coughed heavily, Liu's hand was loosened, and the meatball rolled off the ground like this, and entered the belly of the dog who was waiting on the side, after eating, he wagged his tail at Song'er and licked his mouth.

Song'er was so angry that she took off the chopsticks and didn't eat, and she puffed up for a long time, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she couldn't help but be hungry, so she had to pick up the chopsticks again, and she didn't pick them up twice, her eyes lit up, and she simply used a chopstick, and inserted it directly into the ball, and wore a string like a sugar gourd.

Mingyue's eyebrows and eyes bent slightly, feeling that this kind of life is so fulfilling and happy, thinking of the dead carrier pigeon, the heaviness in her heart always lingers.

Three days have passed like this, how Ren Wei Zhixing chased and intercepted, but he never found the carrier pigeon, Mingyue followed his heart like a burner, but he had to temporarily live here and wait for news.

The originally blue sky became gray due to the bitter autumn wind, and the layers of wind and sand made people's hearts dry.

At dusk on this day, an uninvited guest came to the county office, Huo Zhizhou of Leyang County, if in the past, Cheng Hongluo would definitely be flattered, but at this time, he seemed to have a big stone hanging in his heart, and he always felt that something was going to happen, especially when he saw Huo Zhizhou behind him with a solemn face.

Cheng Hongluo shook Governor Huo Zhiluo to the ground, his face was pink with excitement, full of flattery and flattery: "The arrival of the Lord Zhizhou has made my Chaoyang County bright and bright, and the Yumen is celebrated, and it is gratifying to congratulate. ”

Huo Zhizhou accepted Cheng Hongluo's flattery complacently, holding the sedan curtain, his eyes bent into moon buds and looking at Cheng Hongluo, but he didn't mean to get off the sedan chair at all.

Cheng Hong patted his head with a sudden realization, personally stepped forward to support the sedan pole, bowed and bent his knees to welcome Huo Zhizhou off the sedan chair, and said to Li Chengyue, who was still stunned: "Don't hurry up and go first, clean the banquet hall three more times!" Otherwise, what should I do if the residual dust hits the golden buttocks of Lord Zhizhou! Send someone to Zhenwei Fang, pick the best meal and send it, regardless of the price, as long as the best! Otherwise, what should I do if other people's meals reach Huo Zhizhou's jade teeth!! Why don't you go now!! ”

After speaking, he kicked Li Chengyue, which made Li Chengyue stunned, and he didn't know why, he was rushing into the yamen, Cheng Hongluo added: "There is also pigeon soup, and I want the best pigeon soup!! Replenish the vitality of adults! ”

Li Chengyue couldn't help but be stunned, I didn't know what Cheng Hongluo's intention was, thinking about it while walking, and suddenly remembered that this pigeon was raised by Wei Zhixing for Mingyue, and Cheng Daren almost didn't serve it as an ancestor, how could he stew soup and drink? Don't you let yourself inform Mingyue of something?

Li Chengyue ran to the back house anxiously, looking for Yin Mingyue's shadow on the left, and Yin Mingyue's shadow on the right.

Li Chengyue panicked in his heart, and asked his subordinates to clean up the banquet living room, and he hurriedly ran out of the yamen, and Huo Zhizhou's servant named Ma Er grabbed Li Chengyue's shoulder, and said as if affectionately: "Li Zhutou, go to Zhenweifang to eat?" I heard about the meal of Zhenweifang in Leyang County, and my mouth was so hungry that I took me to see it? ”

Li Chengyue's heart suddenly suddenly, his face was not obvious, and he smiled and said, "What did Ma Zhutou say?" As long as Ma Zhutou is not tired and panicked, not to mention the small Zhenwei Fang, it is Yihong Courtyard and Yaju Yuan, I am happy to accompany them. ”

Li Chengyue's heart became more and more uneasy, looking at the officials of Leyang County who had disappeared around the county yamen, he was even more anxious, but he didn't know which link went wrong, which thing went wrong, just like a person, itching all over his body, eager to scratch all over his body, but he didn't know where the itch was in the end, and he couldn't bear to die.
