Chapter 248: Pennsylvania

Wei Ping: "Pennsylvania is also an important transportation place, and the prefect was actually careless and careless about having an accident on the ship, which is really too negligent in his duties." ”

Xianghua listened but didn't agree, and the locals who were sitting closer around them pursed their lips in disgust when they heard this.

After the two of them had eaten, Xianghua thought that she still had to go to the scene to have a look, and Wei Ping would also follow.

Xianghua said: "Doesn't His Royal Highness the Prince of the World not like water?" I'm going to go next to the water's edge, not only by the water's edge, but there have been dead people there, is your Highness going there too? ”

Wei Ping frowned in disgust and asked, "Why did you go to such a place?" ”

Xianghua said: "The King of Righteousness and Courage has also been kind to me, I should go to worship." Your Highness is weak, so let's go back and rest early, and I'll be back later. ”

Wei Ping hesitated for a while, but he didn't want to show his timidity in front of Xianghua, and only said, "I just think those places are dirty." You come over later, I'll wait for you on the side. ”

Xianghua raised her eyebrows, but she could only agree.

The carriage had been walking for a long time before the two of them reached the river. This river is much wider and deeper than the Qingshui River. Because of the major event at sunrise a few days ago, the vicinity was sparsely populated, and the broken boat ran aground on the riverbank, and several officials were ordered to guard here.

The yacha saw that there were strangers coming, but these people were dressed extraordinarily, and they were not sure who these people were, so they said politely: "There was a big case here a few days ago, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

Xianghua smiled slightly and said, "Brother Guancha, I'll just take a look here." ”

Seeing that she was a fair-skinned and beautiful little girl, the yacha smiled so much that people's hearts softened, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't get too close to your little girl, it's not a joke to fall into the river." ”

Xianghua gave a salute and said, "Thank you for reminding the eldest brother, I will be careful." ”

The guard screen is a little far away. The big boat, which had just been fished out of the river, was filled with a lot of silt, and the smell of mud was so heavy that he wanted to get closer, but he was almost vomited by the smoke when he got a step closer, and he could only fan the wind and wait anxiously.

"Didn't she come to worship? Why don't you see the candles? ”

Long Wudao: "Worship is important to have a heart, sincerity is spiritual, and hypocrisy is secondary." ”

Wei Ping saw Xianghua take a step towards the river, and sweated in his palms, but Xianghua only walked a little before stopping and squatting, as if he saw something on the ground. He looked too, but saw nothing.

What Xianghua saw was a frog. She briefly asked about the day the King of Righteous Warriors fell into the water.

"Quack." I wasn't at home that day, you wait, I'll ask the other frogs.

Xianghua stood by the river and waited.

The eldest brother of the official messenger saw her standing by the river in a daze, and didn't know what to do, thinking that she couldn't think of something and wanted to kill herself, so he kept an eye on her actions.

After a while, a group of frogs surfaced, and the bulging frogs looked at the fragrant flowers and croaked. People who don't know what is going on will feel very terrible when they see it.

Xianghua asked again, dozens of frogs, you and me, and finally pieced together the underwater situation that day.

Long Wu's eyesight and ear power are much better than ordinary people, so he heard and saw this strange scene. But Wei Ping didn't ask, and he didn't plan to say.

Xianghua folded her hands and bowed to the river, and then walked back.

She looked at Wei Ping cautiouslyβ€”did he know what his father had done?

Wei Ping looked at himself inexplicably, and then looked at her again: "Huh? ”

Xianghua smiled faintly and got into the carriage herself. Wei Ping followed in confusion.

That night, Zhao Tao and Xianghua exchanged the information they had collected separately.

At this time, Xianghua learned that the prefect of Pennsylvania not only "committed suicide by hitting the wall", but also "set fire to the cell", and after the fire was extinguished, the prefect had been burned to black charcoal. But when he came to inspect it, he found that the first knuckle was missing from the right index finger of the Pennsylvania prefect, and after looking for a long time, he found it in his own stomach.

"I think he was worried that he would not be used if he died, so he bit off his finger and refused to press his fingerprint." Zhao Tao wrote.

Xianghua sighed in her heart: This Pennsylvania prefect has such integrity, he must not be a stupid and useless person, and it is really a pity to fall into such a fate.

Xianghua told Zhao Tao the truth about what he heard, but he had to find someone to collect the evidence.

"Meow~" What are you going to do tomorrow?

Yuan Bao jumped on the table and stretched.

Xianghua smiled and said, "Now is a rare opportunity, I have to do a big thing." ”

"Meow?" The ingots tilted their heads.

Xianghua smiled slightly, leaned close to its ear and said, "Tomorrow, you call the rats near here, I have something important to explain." ”

"Meow." That little prince doesn't pester you?

Xianghua pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll go out before dawn tomorrow, he can't get up so early." ”

She is a character who does what she says, and as soon as the sky is bright the next day, Xianghua put on her clothes and ran to knock on the door of Xiangmanlou with ingots.

The guy who was watching was about to say that it hadn't opened yet, when he saw this girl take out a small gold medal, which turned out to be the word "full".

This is what Qian Xiaoman gave to Xianghua before, and the people of Xiangmanlou saw this sign and wanted to provide assistance unconditionally.

Xianghua made a long story short: "Little brother, give me a bigger room, don't let people approach." ”

This little second is very clever, and immediately went to tell the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper made arrangements quickly, and Xianghua quickly entered the room.

Subsequently, Yuan Bao called all the rats around the prefect's mansion to a meeting.

Xianghua sat on the bed, and the fluffy mice crowded the ground, all squeaking.

Thanks to Xianghua's explanation in advance, no one is allowed to come in, otherwise the people in Xiangmanlou will be scared and faint when they see this picture.

The ingots sat on the table, their long tails wagging behind them, and the rats were all obedient, and none of them dared to bite and gnaw.

Xianghua coughed lightly and said, "I called everyone here today because I want to ask you for something." The man in the portrait is very powerful, and now he lives in the palace, and I want you to watch it for me, what he does when he gets to the room. If you can explain it clearly, give it a bag of rice and a side of bacon. ”

When the rats heard this, they squeaked even more happily. What's so difficult about this, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't drill a hole.

Xianghua raised two fingers and continued, "This second thing is that I may ask you to put some things in his place." If it is done, you will get two bags of rice and two pieces of bacon. ”

"I haven't thought about this third thing yet, but I will definitely get more rice and bacon when it is done." Xianghua said, "You must be careful, the people around him are also very powerful, if you are not careful, you may cause death, don't go to the rats who are too young and too old, you can give it a try if you are young and fast." ”

The rats squeaked in response. No one is better at doing these things than they do.
