"Dead, how did you die?" Hearing that Wu Erniu had died suddenly, Li Shu'er, Yang Yi, and Wei Ergou were all surprised, and couldn't help but look at Na Du Lao Qi together and asked.

Seeing that his interjection had received the attention of the old fairy and his high feet, the old man Du was very proud, and said with a fluttering eyebrow, this morning, a team of village warriors who had been replaced from the city were passing by an alley, and saw a man lying on his stomach at the mouth of the alley, with a blood stain the size of a bowl on his back.

In the war-torn season, those townsmen were already insensitive to the death, but some of them recognized the deceased as Wu Erniu and remembered that he was from the same village as himself, so he notified the head catchers of the Zhuang squad and the fast squad who were in charge of arrest and security in the government office. As for the source of the lead, after inspecting the scene, it was determined that it was a stray bullet shot by Changmao outside the city that hit the wall and rebounded, accidentally injuring Wu Erniu and causing death.

"There is only an eighty-year-old blind mother in Wu Erniu's family, and there is no other bitter master to cry out for him, the head catcher and the head catcher are determined to be killed by a stray bullet, and there is no objection to the three classes and six rooms, the old man of Zhizhou remembered that Wu Erniu's family was poor and could not afford to bury the corpse, so he ordered the head catcher to send the corpse to Yizhuang, so as to find a tomb and bury it, so as to save the corpse in the wilderness, after the people of the city heard about it, they all missed the compassion of Lord Shen, hey." Speaking of Shen Ruchao's order for the government to bury Wu Erniu's body with money, Du Laoqi shook his head, and his reverence for Shen Ruchao was beyond words.

"Yes, Master Shen really loves the people like a son, which is so admirable, hehe" Uncle Li's eyes looked through the warm curtain and looked at the vast snowy fields outside, his eyes became complex and deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After traveling for about an hour, the mule cart arrived in front of the yamen, got out of the car, Li Shu'er will give out ten taels of silver and that Du Lao, where is Du Lao's willingness to collect, Li Shu'er told him, let him turn the silver ingot, and send most of the silver taels to the blind old lady of Wu Erniu to live, that Du Lao'er was then under his hands, and left with a thousand thanks.

Looking at the car shadow of the old man who was far away, Uncle Li sighed sadly: "I don't kill Boya, but Boya died because of me, Brother Erniu, Poor Dao will definitely get this justice for you......"

"Uncle, listen to the meaning of your words, Wu Erniu didn't die from a stray bullet, but was killed by someone who designed it?" Out of professional sensitivity, Yang Yi heard the suspicion from Uncle Li'er's words, and couldn't help but look at Uncle Li and asked in a low voice.

Uncle Li was about to return to Yang Yi, when he looked up, he saw that Shen Ruchao, who had a smoky face and a tired look, was walking out of the mansion with a group of staff, his face changed, and he turned to look at Shen Ruchao with a smile and said, "Master Shen is fine, the poor road is so polite." ”

"The old fairy must not be like this, the killing is like a tide," that Shen Ruchao saw that Li Shu'er saluted him first, and sped up his pace, so that he stumbled under his feet, and fell dangerously, but he couldn't care about it, and quickly rushed out of the mansion, gave a deep salute to Li Shu'er, and said humbly: "The long-haired clamor last night, in order to prevent him from stealing the camp and attacking the city, he was like a tide in the city to supervise the battle all night, and he couldn't go to the old fairy to say hello when he got up early, and he was panicked in his heart, and hoped that the old fairy would not blame the lower officials. ”

"Master Shen is entangled in military affairs, for the safety of the people in the city, he sleeps at night, works hard, and the real person also admires it tightly, how can he blame it?" Uncle Li held up Shen Ruchao with both hands, looked at Shen Ruchao with a sincere face, and said emotionally.

That Shen Ruchao looked at Uncle Li with both eyes, his face was red, and he said with tears in his eyes: "The old fairy is so considerate of Ruchao's suffering, so that Ruchao is flattered, remember the five, Ruchao is the official of the imperial court, and it is the responsibility to defend the land, so he can only do his best to repel the bandits and rebels, in order to repay the saint Longen, although he has died nine times without regret!" ”

"Okay, the wind knows the grass, the board knows the sincere ministers, there is a loyal minister and good official like Lord Shen who promises the country with his body, why worry about the bandits and thieves, the thieves will not be destroyed, quickly, quickly......" Li Shu'er seemed to be infected by Shen Ruchao, took Shen Ruchao's hand, let out a long howl, and walked towards the palace.

Shen Ruchao accompanied Uncle Li to have breakfast, mentioning that Uncle Li and they went out this morning (in fact, they didn't return at night), Li Shu'er just said lightly that he was seeing things and thinking about people, and went to the ruins of Nalu Mansion to pay tribute to the old man Lu Jingtian, Shen Ruchao seemed to be convinced, and after a few words of greeting, he got up and retired to deal with the military situation.

Seeing Shen Ruchao and his staff away, Uncle Li looked outside, and was about to say something to Yang Yi and the three of them, when he heard a noisy sound coming in from outside, and when he opened the door, he saw those officials running out in a panic with buckets and brooms.

"What's going on, why are you so panicked?" Uncle Li asked Wei Ergou to drag a servant and asked.

"Back to the old immortals, there is an abandoned house behind the mansion that is on fire (on fire), and the little ones are about to dispose of it." The servant bowed to Uncle Li and replied humbly.

"It's not too soon, it's not too late, it's really time for this to be on fire, hehe" Uncle Li glanced at Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue meaningfully, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Following those officials, Li Shu'er and his entourage bypassed the high wall of the government and came to the place where the fire started, as expected, it was the courtyard where they experienced nine deaths last night, but saw that the courtyard was completely caught in a sea of fire, the wind borrowed the fire, the fire helped the wind, it was the flames of the sky, the heat wave hit people, and the officials and the people who fought the fire could not get close at all, so they could only watch the courtyard being burned into a white ground.

The fire burned for more than two hours before it was completely extinguished, and a huge courtyard house turned into a scorched earth.

During this period, Shen Ruchao, who supervised the battle in Chenglou Mountain, suddenly saw a fire in the city, and thought that there were spies mixed in the city, and took the opportunity to make a mess, and he quickly sent the garrison Wei Decheng with five hundred soldiers to come over to check, and after learning that it was a fire in the house, Wei De divided half of the troops to guard the fire and evacuate the onlookers, and he led the troops to continue to go back to the city to supervise the battle.

Not far from the fire, Li Shu'er, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou, and Liu Ruoxue wrapped their heads and faces with thick cloaks to prevent the onlookers from recognizing themselves, and then, Li Shu'er quietly watched the raging fire in the wind and snow without saying a word. That kind of silence made Yang Yi, Wei Ergou, and Liu Ruoxue feel a faint uneasiness, because Li Shu'er's eyes were as deep as water and elusive, like a leopard secretly peeping at its prey, ready to launch a deadly attack at any time.

If the cheetah has not moved, then it must be waiting for the right time, the best time to attack.

On this day, the offensive of the Taiping army outside the city was extremely fierce, and the defenders in the city were not to be outdone, the two sides continued to attack each other with mountain splitting cannons and carrying guns and bird guns, and the whole Cangzhou city was filled with gunsmoke inside and outside, covering the clouds and covering the sun, and it was extremely spectacular to look at.

The war was stalemate, and the inhabitants of the city were all huddled in their homes like frightened birds, and there was not a single figure in the streets. As for the servants in the palace, they all went to provide food for the soldiers who defended the city, and delivered gunpowder, lead and other equipment to defend the city, and Li Shu'er, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue were left in the huge yamen, and Li Shu'er took the opportunity to take the three apprentices out of the yamen and walked up the lonely street.

said that he was wandering, but looking at Uncle Li's looking left and right, it seemed that he was looking for something. Seeing Uncle Li like this, Wei Ergou was curious, so he asked, "Uncle, what are you looking for?" ”

"Uh-huh," Uncle Li replied casually, "Wouldn't it be nice for Uncle to lead you around this city and enjoy the scenery and snow?"

"Pull it down, I haven't heard of anyone with such a big heart, when the artillery is full of fire, come out to look at the scene, turn around and wipe a cannonball down, let's go directly to the west, save yourself from cultivating again, one step in place, yes, hehe" Wei Ergou knew that Li Shu'er was talking the opposite, and he was not used to him, so he directly exposed Li Shu'er's painting skin.

"There is a tongue-pulling hell in the underworld, which is dedicated to punishing those who owe when they are alive, and I still have some friendship with the chief punishment division of the underworld, Ergou, do you want to go there to have a fun and distract yourself. Huh? Uncle Li looked at Wei Ergou with a sinister smile on his face, and said seemingly lightly.

"See, ** naked threats and retaliation, you don't care, if you don't care, then I'll squint honestly, there is no reason for power, this dark world ......" Wei Ergou saw that Liu Ruoxue and Yang Yi were all sitting and waiting to fall into the well, and sighed, not daring to say any more.

After a while, Wei Ergou was born with advanced tuberculosis after all, he couldn't hold it back, so he touched Yang Yi and laughed in a low voice: "It is said that the history of the Celestial Empire is all falsified, and every sentence is true, but I think at least one sentence is true, and it is really an evil old society, you can experience it from Uncle Li, hehe"

"As far as you behave, you really have to be glad to live in the old society, if you were still staying in a harmonious society, it is estimated that you would have been invited to coffee by us, you look anti/social, and if you force it with another mouth, it will be enough to judge directly, hehe" Yang Yiqian glanced at Wei Ergou, and made up for it to be a crunchy.

"Are you still my buddy, I broke off my friendship with you, our friendship is completely broken, broken, you know?" Wei Ergou clamped Yang Yi's head and rubbed his hair vigorously, hating it to the end.

"Originally, I thought that we were brothers, and friends and wives should not be bullied, since you and I have broken up, okay, then I can pick up your clothes without mercy...... Xue'er, I~Xiehan~ you, haha" Playing physical work, Yang Yi can't fix Wei Ergou, but he is especially dishonest in his mouth, and he begins to tease Liu Ruoxue in front of him.
