Chapter 183: The True and False Princess of Cannon Fodder Self-Help
Yun Xinyue and Xu Ruqing were invited into the village chief's house.
The walls made of yellow mud, the thatched roof, and the beams were hung with garlic and red peppers, and the only thing in the house was a simple stove, a dilapidated dining table, and the sound of intermittent coughing coming from the house.
"Hello the old village chief, my surname is Xu, this is my inner name Xinyue" Xu Ruqing didn't mind the mess in the house at all, and sat directly on the kang on the side and shook hands with the old village chief.
Yun Xinyue naturally didn't want to be pretentious, and stepped forward to sit down.
"Ahem, cough, look at the two of them, they should be big officials, how can they come back to our poor and remote place, cough cough" The old village chief, Yin Xian has been sick for a long time, and he is about to cough out his lungs.
Yun Xinyue hurriedly took out a piece of loquat candy that moistened his throat, and the old village chief instantly felt that his throat was much more comfortable, and he was more energetic.
Xu Ruqing looked at Yun Xinyue gratefully, she didn't expect her to carry so many things with her, fortunately she was careful.
"Don't hide it from the old village chief, we are indeed from the capital, for the sake of this drought, can you tell me what is going on in Hanyang County now?"
Xu Ruqing's question made the old village chief stunned, and then knelt on the bed.
"My lord, you have to be the master for us......" Xu Ruqing hurriedly stopped the frail old village chief.
"You get up and speak slowly, if there is a grievance, I will make the decision for you."
"You can do it, Lord, my wretched son and daughter......
Before the old village chief could speak, he burst into tears.
"I took my hard-working daughter, who was plundered by the official master here to be a concubine, my son went to save it, I heard that he was locked up, my old bones are still sick, I can't save them at all, I'm useless......"
"When is it going to happen?"
"Just a few days ago"
Xu Ruqing frowned and looked at Yun Xinyue.
"Uncle, don't worry, if there are really bullies, and now this situation is still bullying the people, and they will be severely punished."
"Come on, go"
Xu Ruqing and Yun Xinyue comforted the old village chief, and left food and the packet of throat medicine, ready to go to Hanyang County to have a look.
Hanyang County is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is a very good place.
As soon as you enter the town, you are shocked by the depression of the town, the thick leaves of the trees swirl around the streets of the town, and there are hardly any people walking around the streets, let alone shops.
Yun Xinyue and Xu Ruqing first walked around, understood the general situation, discussed with Yun Xinyue, dressed up in disguise, and went to the county office.
There were no guards outside the county office, and it looked a little sluggish, and I really couldn't see anything outside.
"Who?" The two government officials guarding the door were quite discerning, and when they saw Xu Ruqing and Yun Xinyue, two strangers, they were from other places at a glance, so they naturally came to the spirit.
"Official, he robbed me of my money," Yun Xinyue pointed at Xu Ruqing and said.
"I didn't, Yin Yin was her who robbed me of my money, I said I couldn't help her, so I pulled her to report to the official."
Xu Ruqing saw that Yun Xinyue entered the role in a second, so he naturally hurried down the slope to act.
"Want to report to the police? Pay the money first, don't you know the rules? ”
"Okay, you pay!" Xu Ruqing looked at Yun Xinyue.
Yun Xinyue had no choice but to take out the money bag, called a few small coins from the gatekeeper, and was brought in.
"The master hasn't gotten up yet, wait for it, by the way, the master will come out to preside, you also have to pay the money, give the money"
"I'm going to rob money blatantly, isn't it?" Yun Xinyue was instantly furious.
