Chapter Ninety-Two: Murder
The hut was small, and the people who had set it up knew that it was full of intricate parts.
There are also a few large copper wires that are attached to the waterwheel.
Although I don't know what the function is, the sophistication of the design is hundreds of times more advanced than the waterwheel outside.
Qing liquor had been expressly forbidden, once the waterwheel turned, no one could enter except her.
And Chen Wenhe-
He entered, but after a moment there was a smell of burnt paste coming from the room.
Anyone who has ever eaten roast chicken and roasted wild things knows that it is the smell of meat being burned......
Qingjiujiu's expression remained unchanged, and he walked slowly over with the wide eyes of the crowd.
It happened that the season was here to bring the troops over, and he came here when he heard that Qing had woken up from wine.
"Lord, master!" Xie Yu's voice was stained with a hint of imperceptible trembling: "Let the princess come back, there are dead people inside!" ”
"Qing Jiu Jiu!" Ji Shiyan's face changed greatly, and the person had already flown out, intercepting Qingjiu halfway.
From this angle, you can see Chen Wenhe's body in the wooden house trembling violently, and even making a sizzling sound.
It was the sound of high-voltage electricity burning the human body.
Qingjiujiu looked at Ji Shiyan coldly: "Get out." ”
The soreness in her back was still reminding her of the absurdity of last night, and the way she looked at Ji Shiyan now was like looking at Chen Wenhe's mess of meat.
If he hadn't killed Ji Shiyan, it would have been even more difficult for him to escape from Yanjing, he would have died a hundred times a hundred times!
"What are you going to do?" Ji Shiyan's face turned pale: "You killed Chen Wenhe?" ”
"Are you blind, His Royal Highness King Cheng'an? Chen Wenhe went to die by himself. ”
At this time, the frightened crowd finally reacted and began to rush forward in a panic: "Dead! Lord Chen is dead! ”
"Y-How did he die? What's in that cabin?! ”
"It's Qing wine!" An officer of the Ministry of Works shouted in a hurry: "She told us to build this wooden house!" It must be a hidden mechanism that will kill Lord Chen! ”
"Yes, it's her, it's her who killed Lord Chen!"
At this moment, the wooden house was still designed by Chen Wenhe, and now that something has happened, it has become the responsibility of Qingjiujiu again.
"Execute her! She must have evil magic, she must have evil magic! ”
The people looked at each other.
Qingjiu opened the Ji Shi banquet, and he had to continue to move forward, but Ji Shi Yan grabbed his hand again: "You really want to die?" ”
"I'm going to die?" Qingjiujiu smiled: "Don't worry, before I die, I will definitely send you to hell first!" ”
With that, she pulled out two homemade insulating gloves from her waist.
After putting it on her hand, she stepped into the cabin and pulled the electric switch down!
'Boom-'
The waterwheel, which was spinning at high speed, turned slower and slower until it stopped.
And the water of the ditch is no longer drawn to the higher places.
Qing Jiujiu dragged Chen Wenhe's body out and threw it on the yellow mud ground.
I saw that Chen Wenhe's skin and flesh were all shriveled, and he couldn't bat his eyes, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to explode.
Qingjiujiu, a woman, actually touched the corpse with her hand without blinking her eyes.
There are timid people who are already screaming.
"What kind of watermill is this?!"
"No, if this waterwheel was made by Chen Wenhe, why did he die by himself, and Qing Jiujiu was fine?"
"Could it be that Chen Wenhe is really replaced, this waterwheel is actually made of Qingjiu wine?"
"Chen Wenhe has been a secretary of the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, and he has never heard him say anything about the waterwheel, but it was suddenly completed this year, which is a little strange!"
The officials of the Ministry of Industry also tried to blame Qingjiujiu: "She clearly wanted to kill Lord Chen, and she did something on the wooden house!" ”
"I, I'm going to report to Your Majesty, she killed the first emperor's savior, and she must be punished with death!"
The officer panicked and ran out.
Ji Shiyan glanced over, silently grabbed the officer, and kicked him to the ground.
"This king is here, and you are not qualified to slander the princess."
This kind of fake kindness is not appreciated at all: "Although you can go and inform Your Majesty, when this waterwheel is sealed by the imperial court, the water in the ditch cannot be discharged, and everyone should not spend this year, is the place in Hongfa Temple enough to put the sick?" ”
In a word, it hits the nail on the head.
Even Ji Shiyan looked at her unexpectedly.
Qingjiujiu clapped her hands, her waist was really sore, and she lifted the hem of her robe and simply sat down on the stone.
She said slowly: "The flood in Dazhou has always been a heart disease of the people, and every time there is an attack, there are always dead people in the family, right?" ”
Hearing her say this, the people whose family members had died in the flood were inexplicably sour.
"What did Chen Wenhe bring to you? He shouted slogans and said that he would actively deal with them, but the floods still occur every year, and fewer people die? No. Is there less money? Nor did it. ”
Qing Jiujiu's gaze swept over the wave of people in front of him, and he suddenly sighed.
"You look down on me as a woman, you don't believe that I can solve the flood, it doesn't matter, if there is another way, you can also dismantle this waterwheel, but do you have it now?"
"Three thousand soldiers in Yanjing City, plus a thousand people from the Ministry of Engineering, day and night, disgraced, has the water in this ditch been dug a little?"
The answer is still no.
The people were silent.
And the face is getting more and more embarrassed.
Suddenly, there was an extra carriage in the crowd.
got out of the car, and it turned out to be Xi Yue, who had not been seen for several days.
Xi Yue heard the last few words of Qing Jiujiu, he stepped forward and said softly: "So Chen Wenhe is dead, it is not without benefits, the court is dead and moths, so that the next good official who really does things for the people can come out." ”
The Xi family has a certain status in Yanjing.
This status does not mean that they earn a lot of money, but that the Xi family has been giving alms to the people.
They are great benevolent people in Yanjing City, and the Xi family is indispensable for their money and efforts.
So when they heard Xi Yue say this, the stunned people nodded again and again: "What Xi Gongzi said is right!" ”
Xi Yue smiled lightly: "So no matter how Lord Chen died, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that from last night to now, almost one-third of the water in the ditch has been drained, which is the credit of Miss Qing." ”
He said Miss Qing, but he didn't say Princess Cheng'an.
Hearing this, Ji Shiyan's eyes narrowed dangerously, and his expression when he looked at Xi Yue was a little jealous.
Xi Yue was stunned.
As soon as Xi Yue appeared, the people who had been crumbling by Qingjiujiu's lobbying were completely cut down, and they changed their tone in an instant.
"If Princess Cheng'an is sincere in doing things for the people, we can believe it once."
"Chen Wenhe is dead when he dies, and the waterwheel can't be dismantled!"
"Yes, it can't be dismantled!"
But in a few moments, there was a sound of support around them.
Although he was sure to convince these pedantic people, Xi Yue's arrival obviously made him twice as effective with half the effort.
Qingjiujiu smiled heartily at him.
"I'll send some clothes and herbs," Xi Yue got closer, and became more and more beautiful: "I heard that you have been helping out these days, are you not tired?" ”
Ji Shiyan's voice suddenly sounded: "Qing wine and wine, roll over to this king!" ”
