Chapter 117: Worship Rokuro
When everyone dispersed, I was still stunned. The deceased, Feng Liulang, just accused Old Man Wang of eating carp a few days ago, but fortunately, Xiao Mu borrowed the "White Cat Case" to solve the problem of Xu County's order. And today, he is dead......
"What, have you figured it out?" Lin Sheng didn't know when he arrived in front of me and handed me a cloth bag: "The salary that the county order promised you, one hundred wen, count?" ”
I took the bag, and I just felt heavy, just like my mood at the moment. Just now, the back of the Feng family's lady leaving with an old man and a young woman deeply pierced my heart. In this big New Year, every family is in the New Year, but they are separated by yin and yang.
"Did you send someone to do it?" I glared at Lin Sheng angrily, and I really wanted to shout and let the officials tie him up.
"We don't talk darkly. Be! But what can you do to me? ”
"Why?" I shouted as low as I could.
Lin Sheng looked at the gate of the county government: "Because he is not doing things well, the lord is very unhappy, and letting him live until the New Year is already a gift." ”
"What do you mean?"
The corners of Lin Sheng's mouth hooked up a sinister smile: "This Feng Liulang is our person, of course, he is a native of Xiangzhou like you." ”
"What? He ......"
"Three years ago, I first arrived, and according to the order of the Xiangzhu, I need to form a secret agent organization belonging to us as soon as possible, codename: Ghostface.
I walked the streets and alleys, secretly observed many people, and finally selected a few people from among the ordinary people who could be sent by me to listen to information on my behalf, and Feng Liulang was one of them. ”
I was amazed: "He's fine!" ”
"Well, that's what you might call it, but for us, I'll call him an agent. At that time, I didn't know that Lord Xiang was already well lurking in Xiangzhou City. In order to get familiar with Xiangzhou City as soon as possible, I asked Feng Liulang about many customs and customs of Xiangzhou City, which made my main book a smooth ride. ”
Since he wants to say it, then I will simply ask. So I then asked, "A few days ago, Feng Liulang was also ordered by you to report to the official?" ”
"That's right, I saw that his neighbor, Old Man Wang, was old and loved to catch a fish, so I took advantage of his unpreparedness and asked Feng Liulang to replace the crucian carp in his pot with carp, and then brought it to the county government to report to the official.
I just want to see how Xu Luo will decide the case, whether to beat the old man Wang according to the law, or to forgive him for his innocence? No matter what Xu Luo chooses, I have a reason to let him be ruined, who made him the Xiangzhou city and county commander, Mu You's favorite official. I just want to see how Mu You slaps himself in the face. ”
Lin Sheng said, sighing softly: "It's a pity, a good case, Mu You made me yellow, hum, pretending to let someone bring a white cat to distinguish whether it was a carp or a crucian carp, but the cat ate the fish at once, and Mu You simply drank the soup." ”
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "The master book wants to let Xu Xianling have an accident so much, is he trying to replace it?" ”
"Hey, where, where. When the county magistrate is too tired, although there are county officials to help inspect everywhere, but the big and small things in this city still have to be done by themselves, and they can't finish it.
Don't look at the small county magistrate, but how can he be so easy to be, that Peng Lun of Yongqing County, wasn't he directly dismissed by Mu You? This makes us officials everyone in danger!
I think that my main book back then was hard to get, and it was enough to have this official, so it was just an identity to hide people's eyes. Ha ha. ”
I was puzzled: "Then why do you still have to embarrass Xu County?" ”
"Mu You spoils him too much, which makes people feel very unfair. I heard rumors from the officials that once I actually saw Mu You personally beating Xu Luo's back. It is even rumored that Mu You also sneaked into Xu Luo's house many times and got into his quilt to chat with him...... This is a treatment that ordinary people can't enjoy. Look at our county order, how hard we work now! Hey, even I was moved! ”
I listened to Lin Sheng's sour words, and thought of the secret I had just heard from Du Xiuzhen, and I was puzzled again. Doesn't Xiao Mu like beautiful men? A middle-aged uncle like Xu Xianling, will it be his dish?
Oh, no, no, no, Li Jianghu, what do you want? When did you feel so dirty in your heart, maybe Xiao Mu was just talking to him about official business, as for why he was in a bed, ...... Maybe it's just cold, and the bed is so warm.
Hey, Xiao Mu, who has a problem with his brain, how can we ordinary people understand his way of behaving in the world?
"Okay, I've told you so much, now you understand, right? Since you cooperate with us, you must show your sincerity and strength, otherwise, you know too much and you don't have enough success, of course you have to go to Feng Liulang's end. Lin Sheng slapped me twice on the shoulder and walked away.
Am I on a thief ship? What am I going to do? I propped my arm over the trunk of the tree and slammed it on my forehead, eager to come up with a good plan.
"Okay, it's not smart enough, wouldn't it be even more stupid to crash like this?"
I looked back: "Xiao ...... Lieutenant Xiao. ”
"You must know my identity, right?"
"Well, yes."
"I heard Lin Sheng's words just now. Team Li means, don't startle the snake first, just let Lin Sheng run rampant for a few days, and when he makes an appointment with the master, we will take it in one fell swoop, and capture the thief and capture the king first! ”
I glanced around: "However, that Xiangzhu is strong in martial arts, how easy is it to capture him?" ”
County Lieutenant Xiao clenched the saber in his hand: "The open gun is easy to block, but the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, even if you can't defeat him, at least find out his identity and uncover his disguise." ”
I nodded, "I want to see who he really is, too." By my senses, I think he must be someone I know, but he doesn't know me too well. ”
"Don't act rashly, what you have to do is to protect your own safety, if Lin Sheng takes you to see Lord Xiang next time, remember to leave a mark in secret." County Lieutenant Xiao said, handing me a small bag.
"What is this?"
"A few handfuls of flour that I stole at Lu's house just now."
"Huh?" I looked at him incredulously: "When did County Lieutenant Xiao do the same?" You're a county lieutenant, stealing flour...... This...... Is it appropriate? ”
County Lieutenant Xiao smiled slightly: "I secretly packed this small bag, how much is it worth?" Is it enough to hit the board? Alright, you go quickly. ”
I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. At least for now, it seems that I am not alone in the fight, and in the places where I can't see, I don't know how many Heavenly Eye agents are secretly helping.
But I didn't want to go home at this moment, so I ate something on the street at random, and asked the guy who worked in the Lu family about the location of Feng Liulang's house, and just happened to meet the old man Wang who was going out next door. After asking, I learned that Feng Liulang's body had been sent up the mountain.
"Let's go, this way." The old man Wang carried a basket of paper money and staggered in front to lead the way.
After walking for a quarter of an hour along the way, I finally saw the newly built tomb, which had not even had time to be erected because it was in a hurry to be buried.
An old woman sat on the ground, leaning against the grave and weeping to the fullest, venting the sorrow of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man. Feng Liulang's wife and her son, who looked to be about five or six years old, were burning paper money in despair, and the white robe on his body was blown by the wind and "whined", like mournful music.
"Uh...... I'll give it to Rokuro...... Burn some paper......" Wang Laohan said carefully.
"Oh, Uncle Wang, thank you." The lady of the Feng family hurriedly got up and got out of the way, pulled her son and bowed deeply to Old Man Wang, and then set her eyes on me.
"Oh, I...... I'm going to pay homage to Rokuro too. ”
I hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down in front of the grave, and seriously kowtowed three times. The dead are great, and although I don't know him, it's okay to bow down.
"Thank you."
"Ladies Day mourning! I...... I'm a friend of Rokuro.,Although this money is not much.,It's also a little bit of my heart.,Please don't dislike it.。 I said, shoving the bag into the child's arms.
One hundred yuan is really not much, I don't know how long it will be enough for their ancestors and grandchildren, and I don't know how much funeral money the Lu family gave them.
The lady of the Feng family took the bag and smiled coldly: "I have money, a lot of money...... Since you are a friend of Rokuro, tell me, how much does Rokuro get paid every month? ”
I was a little embarrassed: "This ...... I have never heard of him. ”
The lady of the Feng family glanced at the old man on the side, hugged the child in her arms tightly, her eyes were a little loose, and she muttered to herself: "Seven years of husband and wife, I thought I knew him very well, but I didn't expect it...... But it's so strange......"
"Strange?" I pondered her words, "You mean, Rokuro's identity?" ”
"You know?"
I didn't know whether to tell the truth or not, so I was stunned for a moment before I replied, "Perhaps, everyone has a last resort. ”
"As a last resort? Just for that box of unsightly jewelry? The lady of the Feng family asked softly, her eyes red as if they were about to drip blood.
Jewelry? A box? Could it be the "sweetness" that Lin Sheng has given away in order to buy him over the years?
I wanted to ask for clarification, so I continued: "He deserves it, and now that he is gone, you hide your things and raise your children well." ”
"No, those jewels are so dirty, they've killed Rokuro, how could I keep them? I've heard rumors that there are spies from enemy countries in our city of Xiangzhou, but ...... I didn't expect my husband to be.
When I packed up his belongings, opened the miscellaneous house he never let me into, and found the box under the straw behind the door, I thought it was a dream. Can...... These are all true......"
I looked at the poor woman in front of me, and for a moment I didn't know how to comfort her, and I got up and nodded at her, ready to leave.
"Wait."
"Uh...... Anything else? ”
"You forgot to take your purse. You're a good person, and this bag of money is enough for you to sell dozens of bowls of bean curd. ”
My heart trembled: "You...... Do you know me? ”
"Two months ago, I took my child to pass by the Jianghu Inn, the child was hungry, I went to your stall to eat bean curd, two cents, you filled a bowl, and the child and I were full. Since then, every ten days, I will ask you to buy a piece of tofu to improve my life.
It's ridiculous to think about it now, I knew that there were still so many jewels hidden in my house, and where I used it so shabby. It's a pity that Rokuro didn't dare to say it, nor did he dare to take it out and use it...... So why did he bring it home? ”
The woman turned her head to look at the grave: "As a last resort? Who forced you? ”
In an instant, I seemed to see Wang Jiajia's shadow in her, if I also stepped into Feng Liulang's future......
I respectfully placed the money bag beside her and whispered, "The Qin Cha already knows about this, don't worry, he will find out the mastermind behind the persecution of Rokuro and avenge Rokuro." ”
