Chapter 109: Antecedents & Consequences & Serious Talk
"Last year, Mengqiu, all parts of the country were not peaceful, just like Yuncheng."
When Murong Jin arrived in Yuncheng, Li Yuhao was one step late, and Xue Ziyi, who was accompanying her, also forcibly asked for some things with a thunderous force, and finally put out an empty city plan and fought a beautiful finale. Others may not be clear, but Yuncheng is indeed very representative.
"At first, I just accidentally found a few girls missing, but no one reported it to the official, and the government did not take the initiative to look for it."
"The imperial history is only regarded as a vegetarian meal for the corpse of the Xiyuan officials, and he is ready to collect all the evidence so that they can participate in a book, but after a month of investigation, all the people who were sent over have disappeared, just like those girls."
"This matter fell on my head, I sent someone to look for it for a long time, but I didn't find the missing ones, but I found that in the past ten years, tens of thousands of people have disappeared in the territory of Xiyuan, and no one has ever reported to the officials of Xiyuan, and ninety percent of those who have disappeared in recent years are young girls."
"Before coming to Nishihara, some people were spreading rumors to prevent me from entering Nishihara, but it was tantamount to using my mantis arm as a car, but it didn't take long for this epidemic to break out......"
"Among those who died of the epidemic were emaciated and emaciated to the human form, and there were so many of them that it would be easiest to dispose of the corpses if those who had disappeared before they had not died...... That's the way to deal with these people......"
Li Xiang was speechless for a long time, tens of thousands of people disappeared, but no one reported to the official, even if tens of thousands of people were merchants walking the streets or vagrants living in fixed places, it was impossible......
"If you don't report to the official, in addition to the local officials being untrustworthy, there is another possibility."
"Not bad." Murong Jin added tea, it was obviously midsummer, but he didn't feel that the Xiyuan heat was steaming at all, but it was the slightest wisp of coolness running up from the soles of his feet, this medicinal tea could probably warm up for a while.
The medicinal tea that Zhou Shi and the imperial doctor made up, except for the one at the gate of the city and the one that was fried and distributed to the people in the city every day, is this, the medicinal effect is almost the same, but this medicine is warmer, in other words, more expensive.
"Zhou Qian, they have looked for the archives of the government, but there is no record at all."
Li Xiang has nothing to say, the first one may be too impossible, there are so many people, there are always a few family members who will go to the official, how can there be no case......
The second is the only possibility.
I reported to the official, but it was all smoothed out and whitewashed cleanly, as if it had never happened.
Xiyuan is a large county, which is not governed by officials from the two provinces, and there is a large floating population here, with the most suitable climate, and now, there are the largest number of missing people whose fate is unknown.
Li Xiang has no expectations for the officials in Xiyuan, but there is no need to speculate so much, but if it is according to Murong Jin's intentions, the entire Xiyuan, from officials to famous businessmen, I am afraid that few are good things, otherwise, how can it be hidden so well in ten years?
"Xiyuan is close to the sea city in the dark west, is their army surnamed Guan?"
"Not bad."
"Guan Sijun's eldest son, is he about the same age as you?"
"It should be about the same."
"Is his name Guan Zhou?"
“…… Do you know him? ”
"I can't talk about it." Li Xiang didn't want to discuss with Murong Jin how he was entangled by a scoundrel so many times on the way to run, so he skipped it directly, "You just said that the people who have disappeared in recent years are all young girls, so if you can spare your hands, you can also go to explore the reality of that Guanzhou." ”
Glancing at the little princess, Murong Jin silently took a sip of tea, without the honorific title, not for him, not for Guan Gongzi, the former is very good, as for the latter......
What did Guan Zhou do?
Haicheng is thousands of miles away from Kyoto City, and the little princess has only made a few trips to the north at most......
"That person went to Beijing many times a few years ago to catch the exam, and repeatedly failed, and handed me a certificate of submission, and also attached a small poem, which was uneven and chaotic, which can be described as a mess." Murong Jin silently added a few words, "I suddenly won the next year, but it was the last ranking, and since then, he hasn't taken the exam again." ”
Murong Jin doesn't remember these things about Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain very clearly, he opened the mansion early, left the palace early, became famous early, and at first the people who submitted their names to the prince's mansion every day were not hundreds but dozens, why did he still remember this Guanzhou? Without him, it doesn't hurt that this person's poems are generally written in front of him, and he won't laugh at anything, but if he has never been wrong or self-inflicted, in the poem, he is praising him between the lines, and he is praised extremely uncareful, praising as if he is scolding him, or really scolding him, in short, in a bunch of fancy boasting of his name, this level of extremely worrying little poem is extremely impressive.
After thinking about it carefully, Murong Jin added, "It is reported that Guan Sijun has more than a dozen sons, he has mediocre qualifications, one is not favored, two has no longevity, and three is intolerant, he often does things with his own brothers, repeatedly provokes and repeatedly does things and is often bedridden. ”
Hearing this, Li Xiang felt that she had encountered a person with a bad brain, that day, she had a big belly, Guan Zhou didn't say a word, and later, she repeatedly sent people to rob people, now think about those "kidnappers" who are generally capable of making a lot of nonsense at that time, she really can't figure out how these people have survived until now, and they haven't been stupidly killed by themselves! More than a dozen brothers, Guan Zhou's behavior, can live to this day, it is also fateful.
"I still think he's suspicious, and maybe the people around him may be involved." Li Xiang thought about it, the words of the "kidnapper" who was not very capable and temperamental that day, Li Xiang listened to it slightly, and now that he thinks about it, maybe there are other meanings, trying not to bring much anger to the thought, and said, "With so many people missing, there will be no shortage of people who are mixed in, and the only way to dare to do this is to ......"
"Pull more people into the water."
The two of them spoke in unison, their eyes were facing each other, their breathing was a little lighter, outside the window was a quiet street, downstairs were a few quiet side concubines, and the surroundings were so quiet as if there was no living thing, but it could clearly feel one heartbeat after another.
Suddenly, a few gongs rang from afar, bringing medicinal tea to the people nearby, and also bringing endless crampedness and embarrassment to the heavenly characters, Li Xiang turned his head and scolded himself a few words, didn't he talk about things! What do you do so ambiguously/ambiguously! What to do so curious! Do you have to know that you are planning to go to fortune telling and cheat money?!
Murong Jin lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said goodbye: "It's not too early, I still have to go outside the city, you can rest early." ”
Li Xiang replied indiscriminately, full of satisfaction and impatience, unable to tell whether it was for Murong Jin or for himself.
Going out, with his back to the door of the wing, Murong Jin said in a low voice: "I'll see you another day......
