Chapter 10 List of Prefectural Orders (1)
"Three months ago, Second Brother Duan sent me a letter, saying that there was something important to give me, and according to the plan, I would be able to arrive in half a month, but there was an accident and it was delayed for half a month."
"You were assassinated too?" Liuluo asked.
Luziyu shook his head and denied, "I was in Changyuan at the time, and from there to Changyang County, it was the fastest to take the waterway." ”
The night before the deer fish were ready to leave, a tsunami swept through the village, damaging many boats docked on the shore, overturning many fishermen's houses along the coast and blowing away the family's young and lightweight children.
On the second day when the waves stopped, the deer fish looked at the mess in front of him, at the women who had lost their loved ones kneeling and crying, and at the rescue teams that had formed spontaneously. A decision was made.
"I decided to wait a few more days, because Lu's boat was also damaged and needed to be repaired, so I might as well use the waiting time to do something for the fishermen." Deer fish said.
He stayed for half a month, opened the granary of the Lu family, and gave money to help the fishermen rebuild their houses.
"It's just this half ......a month," Luziyu sighed heavily, "Maybe it's providence." ”
When Luziyu came to Changyang County and went to the agreed place, what he saw was warm blood all over the ground, as well as Duan Xinming's head on the table, with fear in his eyes, and he didn't blink a blind eye.
"If I had arrived half an hour earlier, it would have been better if it was even the time for a stick of incense." The deer fish said hatefully.
"You're going to report to the police?" Dragonfly asked him.
Lu Ziyu shook his head, Duan Xinming had made an appointment with him in private, and no one could prove his innocence except for the murderer at that time.
"I found someone, pretended to assassinate the county magistrate, and led him to that courtyard. But after waiting for three days, there was still no movement in the county order, and no one even came to collect the body of my second brother Duan. ”
"So you disposed of Duan Xinming's corpse with potion and wrote a letter to my senior brother to ask him to come over?" Liuluo asked.
"No, it wasn't that idea at the time. I had dealt with the magistrate of Changyang County, and I knew that he was a good official who was dedicated to the people, so I decided to go to him personally. ”
That night, the deer fish quietly flew into the county commander's house with the moonlight. There was no one in the county ordinance's house that night, not even a gatekeeper. Luziyu felt strange and wondered if the prefectural order had encountered an accident.
Just when he was worried, he saw a candle flame in a room in a side courtyard, he gathered his breath and approached to see that the county magistrate in regular clothes was talking to someone, and the two voices were very soft, and the deer fish couldn't really hear it.
It didn't take long for the two of them to fight.
"What, the county order will also do martial arts?" Liu Luo's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"And the martial arts are not bad." Lu Ziyu added, and then he said: "I have checked the life of the county magistrate of Changyang County, and he is an ordinary scholar, and he has not studied martial arts from a teacher, so I think things are not simple, and after leaving, I immediately sent a letter to King Huai'an." ”
Yun Bong took out the letter and handed it to Lu Ziyu. Luziyu took it and took out the letter inside, and unfolded it, there were only four big words: "The prince saves me." ”
"This is not a letter I sent." Deer fish flatly denied it.
"Because this is a distress letter from Lin County's order, according to the clues I found, a total of three letters were sent, two of which are missing, and only this one is in the hands of the prince." Yun Bong said.
The dragonfly glanced at the words on the letter, which were very sloppy and lackluster, and it could be seen that the person who wrote the letter was so anxious and frightened that the pen was a little unstable.
"And what about what I sent out, and it was also intercepted?" The deer fish questioned.
"The reason why I was chased and killed was because two months ago on my way to Changyang County, I rescued an injured messenger, and he told me that when he dismounted, he was pushed by someone and accidentally fell off a cliff, but fortunately there was a waterhole under the cliff, which saved his life." Yun Fengdao.
"Understood, the messenger sent a letter from Lu Gongzi, and the people in the shadows didn't want the letter to reach the prince, so they intercepted the messenger, and the senior brother saved the messenger, and they mistakenly thought that you got the letter." Liu Luo concluded.
Yun Bong nodded, agreeing with what he said.
"Isn't it better to kill someone than to just cut off a letter once and for all?" The dragonfly asked.
"I'm here in Changyang County, and I have indeed had a smooth journey, and I have never met a killer." Deer fish said.
"So, it's not Lu Gongzi's letter that was intercepted, whose letter will it be?" Liu Luo was stunned.
"The messengers in Qinghe County generally send letters once a month, Changyang County is larger than Qinghe County, and there are more people who can read and write, I estimate that they should send letters once every half a month." Dragonfly said.
The three exchanged glances and said in unison.
"Duan Xinming!"
Dragonfly nodded, she guessed Duan Xinming.
The deer fish encountered a natural disaster, and he chose to stay to save people, ruling out the possibility of man-made. The letter of the county order arrived at the Huai'an Wangfu two months ago, and it was sent out one after another at least three months ago, and the time is not right, only Duan Xinming, who was killed two months ago, the letter should have been thrown out not long ago, and the time was just right.
"Liuluo, I have placed the messenger at the post station, and you should go to him now and ask him where those letters are at the moment." Yun Feng arranged.
After Liu Luo left, the three of them sat down to drink tea, to be precise, Yun Feng and Lu Ziyu were chatting about tea, and Dragonfly was not interested in this, so he just held his cheeks and listened to their chat.
"By the way, Lu Gongzi, are you deliberately trying to test my and Liu Luo's abilities?"
Lu Ziyu looked at her and asked, "Why did Miss Liu say this?" ”
"The person who deliberately led me and Liu Luo to Tanhualang's old mansion at the inn is you."
Lu Ziyu smiled and waved his hand, "It's not so boring here, besides, I have a relationship with Brother Yun, and I know Brother Yun's ability, so I don't need to test it again." ”
"Not you?!" This time the dragonfly was surprised.
"I did go to the inn to look for Brother Yun, and at that time he chased the killer away, and I left."
"So, there's a fourth person." Dragonfly's beautiful eyes were dark, and she turned her head to look at Yun Feng, who quickly understood what she meant.
It seems that their meeting was not accidental, someone deliberately kept them to give several people time to meet together.
"You guys talk, I'm back at the inn." The dragonfly got up and left directly, not giving them a chance to speak.
The thought of packing up her things and running away came back to her again, and the dragonfly hurried back to the inn, and the little maid greeted her as soon as she saw her.
"Miss, someone asked me to give this to you." The little guy took an envelope from his bosom and handed it to her.
The dragonfly thanked the little girl, opened the letter while going upstairs, and returned to the room, and the letter was also opened. Inside is a list with the names of the county commanders of these nearby counties, and Liu Qingzhi is also on it, including Lin Xiangwen, the county magistrate of Changyang County.
What's going on?!
Dragonfly hurried downstairs to find the servant and asked her who had sent the letter, but the servant only said that he was a little beggar begging for food nearby. The dragonfly found the child again, and the child said that the other party was wearing a cloak and did not see his face clearly, and that the man was talking with his throat pinched.
made it clear that he didn't want them to know his identity.
Dragonfly took the letter and remembered the words "The prince saves me" written by Lin Xiangwen to King Huai'an, and an ominous premonition came to her heart. She left a letter for Yun Feng and rode back to Qinghe County.
It is about Liu Qingzhi's life, and he can't be sloppy at all.
When Yun Feng returned to the inn, he got two letters left by Dragonfly, one informing him of his whereabouts, and the other being a list for Dragonfly.
"It seems that things are far more complicated than I thought." Yun Feng took the letter and planned to stay in Changyang County and take a look at the situation.
After a day and a night of travel, when the dragonfly returned to Qinghe County, it was noon. The catchers in the county government were doing their own things as usual, but Liu Qingzhi was missing.
"Dragonfly, why did you come back?" When Liu Xing saw the dragonfly, his face was full of surprise.
"Daddy, where's Uncle Qing?"
"I heard that there was a fight in the mountains, and no one persuaded me, and the family had no choice, so I came to the county lord, you said that this matter was troublesome, what did you think of the yamen." Liu Xing shook his head helplessly.
"You're here, so who's going with you?"
"Who ......" Liu Xing thought for a while, or someone else reminded him, and then he remembered and said, "Su Qing." ”
"Who is Su Qing, why haven't I heard of it?"
"The new little catcher, by the way, you were recruited the day after you left."
"How can you let the newcomer go with Uncle Qing!" The dragonfly asked emotionally.
"This ...... It's not a big deal, it's just to persuade you to fight in the past, what can happen? Liu Xing didn't care.
"Yan Chang, Zeng Mi, take the guy and come with me." Dragonfly commanded.
Although Yan Chang and Zeng Mi are also unclear about the situation, they and Dragonfly are playmates from childhood to adulthood, and they can not listen to anyone's words on weekdays, but Dragonfly's.
"Dragonfly, what the hell is going on?" Liu Xing stopped her and asked.
"I'll be back with you." After saying that, the dragonfly led the people away.
On the way, she asked the two about Su Qing's situation.
"He is from the countryside and can't read a few words, but he has great strength and can endure hardships. Yan often said.
"Have you checked the situation at home?" Dragonfly asked.
"This ......" Yan Chang looked embarrassed.
"How to do things so carelessly, what if Su Qing is a villain and uses a fake identity, what if he harms Uncle Qing?" Dragonfly criticized them.
"Dragonfly, you came back in a hurry, what the hell happened?" Zeng Mi asked her.
"I heard some rumors, come back and check on the situation." Dragonfly replied.
At this time, Liu Qingzhi and Su Qing were walking halfway up the mountainside, and looking down, it was a valley crack filled with dense fog and making it impossible to see things clearly.
"This mountain is really a bit steep." Liu Qingzhi couldn't help but say.
"If you fall, you'll be broken." Su Qingying and. He stared into the deep valley, his eyes darkened, as if something inside was calling to him.
"Su Qing, there should be a lot of such mountains in your hometown."
Su Qing stared at the abyss and didn't answer, Liu Qingzhi felt that his behavior was a little strange, so he walked up and pushed his arm.
