Chapter 88: Interrogating the county magistrate
Yuan Zhengqing's appearance is not good, but the painting is still good.
I saw the patterns on the paper in the first month and the next water, and the ripples were lifelike, as if they were about to move.
Qiu Lu always felt a little familiar when he looked at the patterns on the paper, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Lu Luoxi also has a sense of déjà vu when he sees the pattern, is it in a dream?
Dong Boyi appeared in a dream, could this pattern be the same as him, can give me some hints in the dream?
Lu Luoxi thought about it and put it aside, anyway, with the pattern in hand, sooner or later he could find out who it belonged to.
At present, the most important thing is disaster relief.
This is a crime that must not be left behind, but the current situation here is uncertain, and it may still be useful.
Leave him alive for the time being, and see what else he can spit out.
"Yuan Zhengqing, do you know Ma Boqian?"
"Know, know. He is the county guard of our Nanyang County, who doesn't know him. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you know it's not this useless stuff that I want to hear."
"He's a good official, he's not like me.
It is said that he manages every day and loves the people like a son.
Do you remember what you saw when you entered the city, like a disaster-stricken place? ”
"That's true, but it's too clean.
Since he can solve it so well, what do you want us to do in an urgent hurry for eight hundred miles?
You mean that the life of the victims of the Hirano Town is so difficult because you are corrupt and pervert the law! “
"No, it's not.
Although I am not familiar with Ma Junshou, I have been here for so many years after all.
More or less I still heard some rumors.
If you think about it, the flooding in Nanyang County is so severe these days.
How can he keep the victims sane, not stealing, not looting, and not pouring into the city in search of life? ”
Sure enough, there was a problem.
It is human instinct to do everything possible to survive.
In particular, as a victim of the disaster, the threat of death has deepened their desire to live.
If you are accidentally taken advantage of by someone with a good intention, you may even become unscrupulous.
When I entered Nanyang County, I couldn't tell that it was a place that had been flooded.
However, the scene in Hirano Town is quite the opposite.
If Ma Boqian is really a powerful official, he can handle the disaster and save himself.
How can there be such a big disparity between different parts of the group?
It is supposed that the number of victims should be huge, but how did he manage to ensure that there was not a single one in his direct jurisdiction?
Is it to drive away?
Or could there be anything more terrible than starvation?
The more Lu Luoxi thought about it, the more he felt a headache, it seemed that there were still a lot of moths in this place.
Yuan Zhengqing saw Lu Luoxi's anxious appearance, and felt that it was very suitable to show loyalty at this time, so he immediately grabbed the ground with his head.
"My lord, I am willing to do my best to help your lord to atone for your sins, my lord!
I just beg the adults to spare my life so that I can see my son in the future. ”
Lu Luoxi looked coldly at the corrupt official Yuan Zhengqing, who was crying sadly and his head was about to be broken, and he only felt ironic.
If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place.
"Qiu Lu, take it away, throw it into the prison, starve him for a few days to lose weight."
Seeing this, the officials in the hall also knelt down one after another.
Crying and shouting that he didn't know anything, he just did what he was told.
Lu Luoxi was no longer patient to listen to these non-nutritious things.
I want to know that these little minions are useless.
gave Qiu Lu a look and waved them down.
"I warn you, it is better to rot in your stomach than to let a word slip out.
Otherwise, the consequences you know.
In the future, it's good to work as usual, and don't let outsiders see anything abnormal. ”
These officials are really timid, and they will fart and pee if they are scared casually.
After dealing with the matter of Yuan Zhengqing, Lu Luoxi only felt that this disaster relief was really not simple.
I was secretly glad that I was lucky to follow Jing Qian.
If Jing Qian is the only one to do this, not to mention whether anyone wants to harm him.
With his body, he was going to die of anger.
"Qiu Lu, tell me what you found."
"I went to the side yard of Yuan Zhengqing yesterday, and I went back and forth in the house where there was no one.
There was a small study with some letters in it, which were supposed to have been left by his superiors when he issued a task.
There was also a room with many little boys' belongings.
But he didn't see that he had children at home, and he shouldn't have lied about that.
I looked at the letter roughly, but there was no point in it, and I couldn't see any information. ”
It seems that they are still very cautious.
It can only be drawn slowly.
"Okay, take your time, just like him, starve him for a few meals and don't worry about him being disobedient.
Let's go home first, Jing Qian should be in a hurry. ”
At this time, Lu Jingqian once again dragged his sick body and waited in the courtyard.
Seeing that the sun was rising and the temperature was gradually rising, Lu Luoxi had not come back yet.
Sydney saw that her master stubbornly refused to eat, and she was very anxious.
"Ahem, ahem."
"Master, please, let's eat first.
What should you do with such a body, the princess will be in a hurry when she comes back. ”
Sydney knelt down and pleaded bitterly.
The other servants also knelt down, but to no avail.
It can't change Lu Jingqian's worry about Lu Luoxi's heart.
Sydney is sad in her heart and feels that the world is unfair.
The Seven Princes, who used to be pampered, were killed like this for no reason.
Now the enemies have all been subdued, but so what, the health of the body has been ruined.
The more Sydney thought about it, the more sad and angry she became, and even began to have some resentment towards the eldest princess.
I know that the Seventh Prince is worried about you, why haven't you come back?
The wind blew suddenly, alternating between hot and cold, and Lu Jingqian's body couldn't stand it at all.
Lu Jingqian tried hard to control his eyes, wanting to watch with his own eyes and wait for his sister to come back.
But no, the eyelids are getting heavier and heavier...
"Jing Qian, Jing Qian!"
At the moment when Lu Jingqian was about to close his eyes, Lu Luoxi's figure appeared in his eyes, and he was finally relieved.
As soon as Lu Luoxi entered the door, he saw Lu Jingqian sitting in the courtyard with his head tilted, and immediately felt bad.
After a long period of mental practice, she has become very deaf and clear-sighted.
Therefore, I can see my brother's situation very clearly.
I didn't have time to regret why I came back so late, so I quickly picked up my brother and rushed into the house.
"Sydney, why are you stunned, go find a doctor!"
"Yes, yes."
Sydney hurriedly rushed outside to find a famous local doctor.
Lu Jingqian was lying on the bed, his eyes closed and sweating profusely.
Lu Luoxi didn't know what to do at the moment.
The things I learned in the past are useless at the moment.
Involuntarily, Lu Luoxi also hated himself a little.
The younger brother is already the only person with whom he is connected by blood.
If I don't protect him, how can I explain to my mother?
"Qiu Lu, go and see, why hasn't the doctor come yet?"
Please, brother, wake up.
I really, really can't afford to lose you.
