Chapter 47: Life Hangs by a Thread
Du Ruo asked Ye Long to find a place to rest and rest, after all, he had not been idle, he had been running around, and it was very hard.
Although Ye Long didn't take this level of busyness at all, and he didn't feel anything particularly tired, Du Ruo still insisted that he go to rest, after all, good steel should be used on the blade, and there was no need to be so hard.
Ye Long received Du Ruo's kindness, thanked her and went to rest.
After another hour or so, Ye Hu also came back in a hurry.
"Dusima!" Ye Hu spoke in a rough voice, not as cautious and cautious as his eldest brother, and hugged Du Ruo with a fist, "Inquire clearly!" That Mrs. Xu is really a loose mouth!
After she went back, she just asked Tang County Ling about the draft girl in the palace, and she sold you out of the words!
She didn't leak this matter to outsiders, but just took you to the divine doctor for medicine, trying to make Tang Xianling feel that her relationship with Xinke Tanhua and Da Yin Nu Sima was not ordinary. ”
Du Ruo was a little helpless, but this also solved her previous confusion, knowing why Tang County Ling suddenly got the news and ran to "encircle and suppress the divine doctor", it seems that she heard the news from Mrs. Xu by accident, and it is not that there are any other people who secretly report the news.
"What about Lord Tang's own situation?" Du Ruo asked.
Ye Hu nodded: "Sima, you are really a clever plan!" You've got it right!
I inquired around in private, and sure enough, I found out that Tang County Ling had similar symptoms to the god stick we locked up before!
I heard that one day he was trying the case of two farmers fighting for a cow in front of the court, and he was trying it, and suddenly his face turned pale, sweat was like rain, and the whole person soon shook into a ball, and he couldn't sit still, so he was hurriedly supported by the yacha and sent to the back hall to rest.
Later, the Yamen gave the saying that Tang County ordered to serve the people wholeheartedly, regardless of his physical fatigue, and the hot weather, so he suffered from heat stroke, so it would be like this.
You can't even fool a fool with this! What time of year is this? What's more, it happened some time ago, and it was good not to catch a cold at that time, and I also suffered from heat stroke!
The sun doesn't shine on anyone else, just on the top of his head! ”
As he spoke, Ye Hu couldn't help but show a look of disdain and rolled his eyes fiercely.
I don't know if it is due to the influence of Du Zhi these days, when Ye Hu faces Du Ruo, the whole person will be much more relaxed, although there will still be deep-rooted etiquette, but at least it will not be like Ye Yuanzhou's side, everything has to be seen at a glance, so he dares to express his disdain for a court official so clearly.
Du Ruo was amused by Ye Hu's words, and after she opened her mouth to express her gratitude, she asked him to go and find his brother Ye Long to rest together, and after resting, they returned to meet Ye Yuanzhou.
Early the next morning, Du Ruo and the two brothers Ye Long and Ye Hu were eating breakfast downstairs in the inn, and just half of what they had eaten, a person rode by on a horse outside the inn.
Ye Long's eyes were very accurate, and as soon as he saw the figure, he immediately put down his chopsticks and got up and chased out.
Du Ruo was taken aback, didn't know what was going on, and froze in place.
Ye Hu didn't care too much, and waved his hand at her: "Looking at the way my eldest brother chased out, it shouldn't be a serious matter, my lord, you can eat, don't pay attention to it, it is estimated that you will come back in a while." ”
When it comes to understanding each other, Du Ruo is naturally inferior to these two brothers, so she listened to Ye Hu's opinion, nodded, and continued to eat.
After less than a cup of tea, Ye Long returned, followed by a man in a robe with narrow sleeves and a somewhat familiar face.
"Du Sima," Ye Long pulled the man to the table before whispering to Du Ruo, "This is our brother from the Shangzhichong Mansion, his name is He Tie, and he is one of the people who went around in Pingcheng County according to your orders. ”
Du Ruo suddenly realized, no wonder she looked at this person familiarly, daring to love was a relationship before, but she was in a hurry and didn't remember it clearly.
"In that case, let's sit down and eat together!" Du Ruo said politely.
He Tie hugged his fist at Du Ruo: "Du Sima, not only can't I sit down to eat this meal, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it either!" ”
"What happened?" When Du Ruo heard this, he also noticed that not only did He Tie look grim, but even Ye Long, who had just chased him out, looked a little worried, and hurriedly put down his chopsticks and asked in a low voice.
It's just a breakfast, it doesn't matter if you eat it or not, the most important thing is that at such a juncture now, what happened to Ye Yuanzhou made his people so nervous.
"Yesterday, Lord Lieutenant rescued all the women who were imprisoned in another secret room." He Tie said.
Du Ruo didn't say anything, after all, He Tie didn't come to report the good news, so after this major harvest, there must be a proviso.
Sure enough, He Tie continued: "We rescued all the women who were delirious by the drug yesterday afternoon, and all the gangsters who took care of them were arrested and brought to the yamen of the state capital to be detained.
Lord Du Wei also specially asked Lang Zhong to diagnose the pulse of those women, and then asked people to search for women who had disappeared in the family for a period of time in recent times to claim them at the yamen and take them back to their respective homes.
As a result, this morning, a family suddenly came to ask for help, saying that the daughter of the family had been only asleep since she was brought home the night before, but this morning something suddenly went wrong, convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and dying.
They were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, so they ran to beg the good people of Lord Captain to do it to the end, and then help them see what was going on.
Lord Du Wei didn't expect such a situation, so he sent me to find Du Sima back to help inspect it! ”
"Only one woman is in this situation?" Du Ruo asked.
He Tie shook his head: "There is more than one, when I came to Yuanchuan County quickly, there were already three families who encountered this situation. ”
"Without further ado, let's go." Du Ruo frowned and immediately stood up.
The four of them rode back to Pingcheng County.
According to the equestrian level on weekdays, Du Ruo categorically didn't dare to ride so fast and run so fiercely, but today she was anxious, and she didn't want to delay the big thing because of her poor riding skills, so she desperately rode her horse to follow Ye Long and the three of them along the way, but she never fell behind.
It's just that when she stopped the horse in front of the door of Shangzhi Chongfu, her two hands had already been strangled with two blood marks because she was clenching the reins too tightly, and when she got off the horse, because her legs were weak, she almost knelt on the ground and gave a big gift to Ye Yuanzhou, who came out.
