Chapter 51: Lorraine's Affair
Two days later, in a vacant area on the outskirts of Luolin City, a group of government personnel endured the choking stench of rot and maintained order at the scene.
"Woo~, woo~~"
"Daddy, Daddy..."
"My son, you died so miserably~~"
“......”
Sobbing, weeping, weeping, wailing, tears of sorrow fill the earth.
They are all family members of the missing people in Tianyin Mountain, and they later identified the bodies after learning about the government's posting. Although a large number of corpses have been decomposed to the bone, there are always belongings that can prove the identity of some of the deceased. And among this group of tearful people, there is the figure of the woman who asked Fang Fei and his party to go into the mountains to find a husband.
"Hey~~", a lament came from Fang Fei's mouth, and he stood not far away, his beautiful eyes reflecting a strong color of sympathy.
Liuyun stood beside him, his equally young face full of melancholy. Affectionate parting since ancient times, and even more Nakan, Yin and Yang are separated, even as a bystander, seeing this scene is also touching the scene.
Behind the two of them, the cadres of the Feiyan Dart Bureau, led by Uncle Feng, silently lined up neatly, with a solemn posture as if they were seeing off the deceased.
At this moment, a man in his forties wearing official robes led two officials over.
"Brother Fu, everyone, I was busy with official business and couldn't greet you, I respect Haihan. The man in the official robe bowed his hand and apologized.
"The prefect of Qi is polite. Uncle Feng stepped forward and saluted, and the rest of the people also hugged their fists to salute.
"Hey, if it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid that this day the Yinshan Strange Case would never come to light, and those dead souls would not be able to rest in peace, this official would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Luolin City!"
The prefect of Qi just wanted to thank everyone, but was stopped by Uncle Feng. Uncle Feng looked at Liuyun and explained, "We don't dare to be greedy for the merits of the heavens for ourselves, this is all thanks to the strength of Liuyun's virtuous nephew. ”
Hearing this, the prefect of Qi moved his gaze to Liuyun, and after taking a closer look, he praised: "Liu Shaoxia Fengshen Xiuyi, a talent, not to the weak crown, can uproot the murderer Nie Ya, end his bandit nest, really worthy of a young hero!"
"It's over. Liuyun replied lightly, and didn't pay attention to the Qi Governor's Mansion anymore. At the moment, he was still immersed in the poignancy of his surroundings, and he was not in the mood to talk.
"This..."Qi Zhifu, who intended to climb the relationship, was stunned, he didn't expect this young man to be so "arrogant", and he didn't even want to talk more to himself, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
However, thinking that they were all Fu Feng's people, the Qi prefect was not easy to exert his official authority, so he had to swallow his grievances and said dryly: "Indifferent and ambitious, quiet and far-reaching, and really has a master's demeanor." ”
Uncle Feng on the side saw the embarrassed expression of the Qi Governor's Mansion, and the corners of his mouth smiled coldly. Don't look at this person's appearance of a corporal who is polite and virtuous, and cares about the common people, in fact, it is just a show, if it were not for his former position as a general, he would not have looked at everyone.
Although I despise this kind of sophisticated person, this is the way of officialdom. Suppressing the disgust in his heart, Uncle Feng stepped forward to round the field: "Prefect Qi, Liuyunxian's nephew fought with the bandits a few days ago, and his serious injuries have not healed, so it is inconvenient to say more, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"Oh, that's the case, and later the official will order someone to send some nourishing things and talk about the heart. "Since someone gave the steps, the prefect of Qi also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and took the opportunity to answer.
"Then I have temporarily thanked the prefect on behalf of Liuxian's nephew. Uncle Feng responded politely, and then changed the conversation and asked, "I don't know what the result is this time, what to do?"
Fang Fei, who had been staying out of the matter, also pricked up his ears when he heard this question, this was what he cared about. As for those entertainments, which have always been taken care of by Uncle Feng, Fang Fei is already disgusted with the hypocritical set, of course, it is impossible to get involved. Besides, the prefect of Qi didn't know Fang Fei's identity, and if he was Fu Feng's son and nephew, then Fang Fei would not be stupid enough to reveal his true identity.
Liuyun and the rest of the people were also attracted by this question, and their eyes all turned around.
Qi Zhifu, who became the focus of everyone, felt good about himself, he knew that this was another opportunity to show his official virtues, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves, his face showed melancholy, and sighed:
"Whew, one hundred and twenty-seven people died. Among them, those who have relatives to claim will be given ten taels of silver to each household, and if there is a difficulty, it will be added as appropriate. If there is no claim, the government will build a tomb and erect a monument to lay the dead. In addition, if the treasure recovered from the cave can be identified and returned to its original place, the rest will be confiscated into the treasury. ”
Speaking of this, the prefect of Qi paused, his face was ashamed, and he said with a little excitement: "Woo hoo lament! This official, no, I have no shame to deal with the heavenly spirits of the victims and their bereaved families, and I am a parent official of a city, but such a tragic thing happened under my jurisdiction. Shame, shame!"
"The adults have done their best, and there is no need to blame themselves, lest they break their bodies. ”
"Yes, my lord has been working day and night since I learned about this, and I have lost a lot of weight, for the sake of the people of Luolin City, I beg your lord to take care of your noble body. ”
The two henchmen behind him added oil and vinegar to the seams.
"Alright. Qi Zhifu flicked his sleeves and interrupted the two of them in a timely manner, "How can a humble body be worthy of more than 10,000 people in the city, but..."
"Governor Qi, there is something difficult to hide, but it doesn't hurt to say it. "Uncle Feng is quite satisfied with his recent performance, so he doesn't mind returning the favor.
"Alas, there has been such a serious case in Luolin City, and it has not been long since he was in the position of the prefect. It's okay to lose the official position, but this heart of asking for the people's life can't be fulfilled. Qi Governor's words were gloomy, as if there was really a great regret.
"Don't worry, trivial matters, I can keep my official position alive. Uncle Feng accepted with a surprised expression, which was not difficult for him.
"Really?" Qi Zhifu's eyes flashed, and his tone was eager.
"It's serious, it's possible that the prefect of Qi doesn't believe me Fu someone. Uncle Feng raised his voice slightly.
Brother Fu laughed. In this way, there is labor. Governor Qi gratefully bowed.
The previous worries disappeared because of a promise, and on Fu Feng's line again, the Qi prefect who got his wish could be said to be happy, but out of respect for the deceased, it was not good to show it too much, so he could only try his best to suppress his mood.
And Uncle Feng agreed to help him, also because of his own considerations. The first is that this person is indeed capable, and has no other bad deeds except for being slick and snobbish, and the second is that this kind of reciprocal shallow friendship is beneficial to both parties.
Behind Uncle Feng, Fang Fei didn't object to Uncle Feng's words, and after he and Liuyun and the others learned about the arrangements for the matter of Tianyin Mountain, they didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two. Fang Fei and they trusted Uncle Feng, while Liuyun didn't understand it and was indifferent.
At this moment, another official trotted to the side of the Qi prefect. After whispering a few words in his ear, the prefect of Qi said goodbye a little embarrassedly: "This official still has a case to be reviewed, Brother Fu, everyone, I will leave first." ”
"I won't be far away. Uncle Feng said goodbye, and so did everyone.
After bidding farewell to the Qi Governor's Mansion, everyone was about to return to the inn, when suddenly, a middle-aged woman in a coarse gray robe walked in front of them, knelt down coldly, and shouted with tears in her eyes: "The women thank you for not only helping my family minister to avenge her revenge, but also finding him, even if it is only his, his..."
She was the woman who had begged them that day. At first, she was deeply hurt and didn't notice Fang Fei and them, but when she saw it, the Qi Governor's Mansion was already there, and she had to rush to everyone after she left.
On the side, everyone who reacted hurriedly picked her up, and before she could say anything, there were people kneeling or worshipping one after another. There was a conversation between the prefect of Qi and everyone, and then there was a confirmation from the woman, of course they knew who their benefactor was.
"Benefactor!"
"Hurry up, please. ”
"Thank you so much, woo~~"
"Don't kneel, get up. ”
"The benefactor has a safe life..."
"Eh, this can't be done, this can't be done. ”
“......”
After a period of scramble, everyone finally got rid of the crowd of grateful Dade and returned to the inn.
Recalling the previous scene, Liuyun's heart lake inadvertently swayed slightly, and he was in a hurry, why was he in trouble?
"Hey~~", he couldn't figure it out and put it behind him, and gently pushed the door open.
As soon as he entered the house, the lively glass immediately came up and swirled happily around his legs. Seeing Xiaoli's frolicking appearance, Liuyun's heart seemed to flow through wisps of clear spring, and a little heaviness in his chest disappeared. After playing with Xiaoli for a while, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Fang Fei and Uncle Feng, is there something wrong?" asked Liuyun, who opened the door.
"Xiaoli, come to me. Fang Fei shook the fruit in his hand towards Xiao Li between Liuyun's neck, and said with a smile.
Liuyun rolled his eyes, did this guy come to abduct his cute and charming Xiaoli? And Xiaoli, how did a few fruits buy you?
"Ahem", Uncle Feng coughed twice, signaling that Fang Fei could return to the topic.
"Ah, I'm sorry, the little guy is so cute, I can't help it every time I see it. Fang Fei hugged Xiaoli, full of love, he rubbed Xiaoli's fluff while slowly confiding in his intentions, "We have been delayed here for a long time, and now that the matter is over, Liuyun, your body is also recovering, then it is time for us to return to Beijing." You...?"
The unfinished questions, the trembling fingertips, and the accelerated heartstrings all show that Fang Fei is nervous at the moment, he is waiting, waiting for Liuyun's answer.
"Me?" Liuyun pointed to himself, then smiled mildly and said, "I'll go to Beijing with you." ”
This is the conclusion he finally came to conclusion. Nie Ya's incident sounded the alarm for him, and he decided to postpone the search for demons and go straight to the capital. It's a prosperous place, and there may be a way to solve my sister's current situation, and it's also where Huiyu is possible.
In front of Liuyun, Fang Fei listened to the words in his ear, happily raised Xiaoli and turned around, and cheered in his mouth: "Great, this... This way I can see Xiaoli all the time. ”
"Why are you so happy when you get his affirmative answer, is it because he is a rare friend?" In his brisk steps, Fang Fei hid the ripples in his heart. He didn't know what it was, but time would have taught him everything...
And Liuyun, who thought for a moment that Fang Fei was rejoicing for his peers, suddenly felt like a fool, and this psychological gap made him stand aside a little depressed.
Beside the two, Uncle Feng, who was not smiling, stared at the harmonious scene in front of him, and the corners of his mouth lifted a slight smile...
The next day, Meng Chun's warm wind blew away the gloomy clouds of yesterday, and under the farewell of the prefect of Qi and many people who heard the news, Liuyun and the people of the Feiyan Dart Bureau slowly set off to Beijing.
