Chapter 60: Can't Scare Him to Death?
Li Jin led the people into the mountain quickly, and before leaving, he didn't forget to let the injured person take him, after all, she couldn't stay by the side of Baili Chang'an, she had to pretend that she didn't know anything.
When everyone left, Baili Chang'an was still sitting on a wooden wheeled car, the only difference was that the people below began to build a simple shed.
The sun is out, you can't let these people be exposed to the wilderness, right?
Finally, there was movement at the entrance of the village.
"Eldest Princess!" The people below saluted, "The prefect of Guangling Prefecture asks to see at the entrance of the village." ”
Baili Chang'an listened, the entrance of this village, it was really awkward to listen, and it seemed that he had lost his identity.
"Let him in alone."
"Yes!"
Zhuo Quan is the son of Zhuo Jianwen, during the period of the first emperor, there was an epidemic in Guangling Mansion, Zhuo Jianwen worked day and night, advancing and retreating with the people, and was a well-known Qing official and good official.
Because of overwork, Zhuo Jianwen became ill not long after the plague, and he couldn't afford to get sick.
The first emperor was grateful for Zhuo Jianwen's contribution to Guangling Mansion, and gave him a special gift, and promoted Zhuo Quan, who was a jinshi, out of thin air, to replace his father's position as the prefect of Guangling Mansion, until now.
This Zhuo Quan doesn't have any great skills, but it should be okay to be a master of success, after all, the various exploits left by his father are enough for him to live freely in Guangling Mansion.
Of course, lack of human hearts is another way of saying it.
Zhuo Quan is younger, a few years younger than Li Jin, that is, in his early forties, he will be wearing an official robe, just hunched his waist, and trotted all the way to Baili Chang'an.
Looking at his groveling appearance, Baili Chang'an glanced at Zi Yan with a slight look in his eyes.
"Minister, Zhuo Quan, the prefect of Guangling Mansion, knock to see the eldest princess. Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose! Zhuo Quan knelt down and saluted, not daring to squint.
Of course, he didn't dare to squint.
The moment he approached, Baili Chang'an had already discovered that Zhuo Quan's complexion had changed completely, so that he didn't dare to look up at the corpse in the shed, so he just lowered his head and walked forward.
"Lord Zhuo is a little late!" Baili Chang'an sat in the shade, and didn't call him to get up, but only leaned on the handrail of the wooden wheeled car, and his voice was cold, "This person is dead, you just came here, are you here to collect the body?" Well? ”
Her tail note dragged on, and Zhuo Quan knelt on the ground and trembled slightly, "Chief, eldest princess forgive sins, ...... minister"
"Do you recognize the corpses?" Baili Chang'an asked tepidly.
Zhuo Quan rolled in his throat, and he really didn't know how to answer for a while.
"To recognize, or not to recognize?" Baili Chang'an changed his sitting posture and glanced at him, "Answer!" ”
Zhuo Quan immediately shook his head, "Minister, I don't know." ”
"Don't know?" Baili Chang'an didn't laugh angrily, "Then go and recognize them one by one, in the end, the people under your jurisdiction, your people, as the prefect, how can you not even recognize your relatives?" Zilan! ”
Zilan stepped forward, "Yes!" ”
Zhuo Quan trembled slightly, "Minister......"
"Look at them one by one, and look at them well." Baili Chang'an narrowed his dangerous eyes, "This princess has time, waiting for your reply!" ”
Zhuo Quan was already about to cry, but Zilan was staring at the side with a sword, and the two relatives followed left and right, and the corpses were lined up in rows, the blood was blurred, and some of them were even dead.
"Master?" Zi Yan said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I'm going to be scared to death." ”
Baili Changan covered his lips and chuckled, "Not afraid of killing, but afraid of corpses?" ”
"He was afraid of himself, and he would become a corpse." Zi Yan replied.
Baili Chang'an is very satisfied with this answer.
"If you knew today, why bother?" Baili Changan leaned on the wooden wheeled car, "Let him take a good look, the price is ...... Here we go! ”
Walking down in a circle, Zhuo Quan was already about to cry.
Waiting to return to Baili Chang'an, Zhuo Quan knelt on the ground with weak legs, "Eldest princess? ”
"Do you recognize it?" Baili Changan took a sip of water, twisted the handkerchief and wiped his lips.
Zhuo Quan waved his hand in a panic, "No, I don't recognize it!" ”
"Oh, don't you recognize?" Baili Chang'an sighed, "Although I don't recognize it, it's a pity, no one even remembers a name when he dies." But it doesn't matter, the prefect, as a parent official, should bury these people properly. ”
Zhuo Quan kowtowed repeatedly, "The minister understands, please rest assured that the eldest princess." ”
After speaking, Zhuo Quan got up and left.
It is not enough for him to bury these people, but to let people from outside come in.
"From beginning to end, you didn't ask, who killed these people?" Behind him, there was a faint voice from Baili Chang'an, "Does the prefect already know, who killed them?" ”
Zhuo Quan's heart chuckled, "I don't know." ”
"I don't know?" Baili Chang'an sighed, "Or does Lord Zhuo think that I killed these people?" ”
Zhuo Quan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again, "Don't dare!" ”
"The people who killed me are hanging under the tree over there, and this princess waits for them to dry, and then chops them up and feeds them to the dogs, so that they don't get their own blood." Baili Chang'an leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and said quietly, "Lord Zhuo, in the prefect's yamen, is there a dog?" I'm afraid that such a good thing will be wasted, so it is better to ...... Feed your dog! ”
Zhuo's whole color turned white, "Chief, long, eldest princess, minister...... Chancellor has no dogs. ”
"Oh, no, no, no!" Baili Chang'an's face was full of disgust, "Why are you scared like this?" Did Princess Ben say that she dried you and chopped you up and fed them to the dogs, what are you panicking about? ”
Zhuo Quan's eyes were red, and there was a cry in his voice, "Minister, minister, no." ”
"Call all your men in! Bury them well, lest these people die without turning their eyes away, and they can't hold the coffin board in the middle of the night, and they will take revenge and revenge! ”
As soon as Baili Chang'an finished speaking, Zhuo Quan almost couldn't get up, and it took a long time to stand up and walk outside tremblingly.
Zi Yan wanted to laugh, but she was scared to see it......
"It's hard for him to be so unfrightened, and to be so unconscionable." Baili Chang'an narrowed his dangerous eyes, "The water in Guangling Mansion is very deep!" ”
Zi Yan was stunned, "What does the master mean, maybe this matter is not him?" ”
"Whether it is or not, he will not escape the blame!"
After a short time, Zhuo Quan led people in, quickly found a vacant land on the side, and began to dig a pit to bury the corpse.
Baili Chang'an put his fingertips on his cheeks, paying attention to the people brought in by Zhuo Quan, and finally his eyes fell on a young man in a gray robe.
At first glance, he should be in his early twenties, but when he commanded the people on the side, he looked old-fashioned, as if he was ...... Accustomed to it?
