Chapter 66: Escaped
"Just a sound?"
"Yes, just one sound, and then I listened carefully and there was no sound, and I didn't take it to heart."
Han Mu and Gu Junruo glanced at each other, and asked the husband and wife to look around after leaving, and He Ziyou followed around, "Most of this house has been burned down, what else can you see?" ”
Han Mu: "Always look for it, Mr. Chen is such a good person, who will harm him?" ”
Gu Jun thoughtfully, "Maybe it has something to do with the bridge, and we'll know when Ma Shuifeng is recruited." ”
Xue County Lieutenant said: "The lowly post has already let people go to the back street, and they will be able to bring people over soon." ”
Gu Junruo nodded, found the corner of the wall, and saw that most of the wall connected to the Chen house and the next door had collapsed, and it was also charred black, so he couldn't help but look at the opposite courtyard.
The courtyard opposite was very quiet, and there was no sound at all, so she asked, "Is there no one living in this house?" ”
"Yes, the head of the household is surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Yuan, his wife Zhang Mengshi, the two have a son, I heard from the neighbors that two days ago, their family of three went out of the city together to celebrate Zhang Meng's mother's birthday, and they have not returned."
Gu Junruo: "Congratulations? Birthday celebration at this time? ”
Xue County Lieutenant said: "It is said that it is a birthday, but in fact, Zhang Meng's wants to subsidize his mother's family, and the neighbors know that Zhang Meng's often subsidizes his mother's things." ”
"No one was at home before and after the fire, so we didn't inquire."
Gu Junruo said: "But after all, the house was destroyed, and this matter is not small, so we should contact them as soon as possible and let them come back to deal with it." ”
"Yes."
Han Mu walked to the place where the wall collapsed and touched the broken place, "When did this wall collapse?" ”
"It collapsed during the flood, and it rained continuously at that time, and the wall was soaked and softened, and the walls of many homes in the county collapsed like this."
Han Mu: "In other words, someone can easily enter the Chen Mansion from this place without going through the front gate." ”
Gu Junruo said: "Chen Shi slept in the side courtyard where the gatehouse came in, if the murderer was not him, and he didn't enter through the front door, he could enter and exit from here." ”
However, Chen Shi's suspicion is still the greatest, there is such a big movement on fire, the two old men next door are awake, but he doesn't notice it.
Han Mu thought about it, raised his foot and stepped over the broken wall to enter the next door, as soon as he landed on his foot, he heard a click, he lowered his head to see that it was a broken flower pot.
Han Mu looked down and saw a large ball of mud falling on the ground and a well-grown green onion on the side.
Gu Junruo asked behind him, "What's wrong?" ”
Han Mu hurriedly moved aside and stretched out his hand at her, "Be careful on the ground." ”
Gu Junruo held his hand and stepped over carefully, and also saw the broken flower pots on the ground, and there was a row of shelves in the corner of the wall next to him.
One pot of shallots fell to the ground, only a few were broken, and the others were growing well.
Han Mu picked up the green onion that had fallen to the ground, took the half-broken flower pot and handed it to County Lieutenant Xue, "Take it back to the county office." ”
Lieutenant Xue should be lowered.
After waiting for a while, he ran to find Ma Shuifeng's official and came back, and reported: "My lord, I can't find Ma Shuifeng, he has neither gone to work nor is he at home. ”
Han Mu frowned, "Who else is in his family?" ”
"His boy was swept away by the flood, he should be gone, and his wife also starved to death, so he was the only one left in his family."
Han Mu and Gu Junruo glanced at each other, and immediately said, "Send someone to find it, and search the whole county!" ”
"Yes!"
Gu Junruo thought about it, but decided to go and see the bridge, Han Mu accompanied her, "County Lieutenant Xue, you go and check the people who have been to the Chen Mansion in the past two days, then what Mr. Fang, Sect Luo, ask again." ”
"Yes."
Luo Yu was very conscientious, she was staring at people repairing the bridge, and when she saw Gu Junruo, she first raised a smile, and when she saw He Ziyou walking beside her, her smile faded and she stopped smiling.
In Han Mu's eyes, his eyes lit up when he saw Gu Junruo, but his face was gloomy when he saw him.
Han Mu snorted in his heart, he dared to brush his face, and he didn't take a mirror to look at himself, he was the real one, okay?
Han Mu raised his head and stepped forward, "How is this bridge repaired?" ”
Luo Yu skipped He Ziyou, looked respectful to Han Mu, bowed and said, "Lord Hui, the repair is almost complete, and it will be completed in three or four days." ”
Gu Junruo asked: "There is a craftsman named Ma Shuifeng, right?" ”
Luo Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, there were also officials who came to him just now, but he hasn't come to work since yesterday." ”
"Will he look at the drawings?"
"Yes," Luo Yu said: "Because he has participated in the repair of these bridges, I asked him to advise after I got the drawings." ”
Gu Junruo walked under the bridge and saw that the structure below still hadn't changed, so he asked, "So he also instructed him to repair it like this?" ”
Luo Yu nodded a little apprehensively, "Yes, madam, is there a problem with this bridge?" ”
Gu Junruo said: "This bridge needs to add some more things. ”
Before she went to Gangneung, she wanted to keep this mistake to lure the snake out of the hole, but she didn't expect the snake to be lured out, but it was cut off to survive, and there was a life lawsuit.
Gu Junruo said: "Call the craftsmen over." ”
Gu Junruo instructed people below how to repair the bridge, and He Ziyou, who was standing on the shore, looked at his friend with his head held high, couldn't help but pull his sleeve, and whispered, "Don't treat Luo Yu as a rival in love......
Han Mu: "Shut up, is he your brother, or am I your brother?" ”
"You, it's because it's you that I persuaded you like this, so that you don't make jokes in the future and be embarrassed."
"What am I kidding?"
He Ziyu opened the folding fan to cover his mouth and nose, and said happily: "Well, you'll know this later, it's not interesting to say it now." ”
Han Mu snorted and said, "By the way, I don't have any money again, you can find a way to write back to Beijing, and ask your father to go to my father again to ask for some money to send to me." ”
He Ziyou said: "It's not good to always ask the capital to get money, right?" If you let the Jiang family know that you will sue Your Majesty, it will be even more difficult for you to return to Beijing. ”
"It's the last time, I took out all the money before to buy grain seeds, but we also have to use money to live, and the most important thing is that I still have to send the county government officials' salaries," Han Mu looked sad, "I only learned this morning that the county government should be paid in three days." ”
Han Mu felt that there was no more miserable county order than him, and people were officials who received Yulu, and not only did he not receive Yulu, but he also had to pay for other officials' Yulu, which was simply unreasonable.
"I think I need to talk to Your Majesty about this."
"The county government has no money, shouldn't you ask the Assassin Mansion for money?"
"I asked for it, Gu Junruo wrote an official letter for me every two days to get the money, but it was rejected, saying that the finances of each county were enough in advance after the counties collected taxes, and if you want to give money to the Assassin Mansion, you have to go through the process to apply, but I applied, but he said that the Assassin Mansion has no money at this time, and he finds various reasons to refute me."
Han Mu said: "I suspect that Xu Ce is a personal vendetta of the communiqué, because he beat his son, so he won't give me money." ”
He Ziyou shook his head and said: "It can be seen that karma in the world is not unrequited in the past, but the time has not yet come." ”
