Chapter 82 The Disaster Comes

"This is such a ruthless person......

It was almost dusk, and the two catchers stood at the edge of the bamboo forest, and after a long while, Chen catchers muttered these words.

"What's wrong?"

"That man...... He's sitting here ......."

As if substituting something, Chen Zhutou took a deep breath of discomfort, he squatted down and picked up a branch from the side. A small area around here is basically bamboo, and the branches in front of me are obviously folded from the side, and the leaves are already slightly wrinkled.

"He's supposed to be waiting for someone to come over here...... Sit here...... The stool or chair should have burned...... The waiting time was not short, he was injured, very badly, but he still didn't plan to leave, and still waited here...... At this time, he may have killed Yang Yi and Yang Heng's family......"

As he spoke, he looked at the ruins of the riverbank over there, plucked a leaf, thought about it, put it in his mouth, and immediately frowned.

"That's not right, it won't be the style of that female assassin, if it's really a martial arts person, she won't be so seriously injured......"

Deputy Xu on the other side also frowned: "You mean, Gu Yanzhen's case was done by another person?" ”

"It's very likely, it's too likely, that person ......" Chen Zhutou paused, "That person killed Yang Yi and Yang Heng's family because of something, he ...... Wounded, seriously injured...... Still waiting here, and then Gu Yanzhen's master and servant came over and killed Gu Yanzhen's master and servant. Come and see this underground ......."

Chen Zhutou pointed to the woodland in front of him, where the accumulation of Chen was basically fallen bamboo leaves, and some subtle things were hidden in it, and he could not see too clearly in the light of dusk.

"He's chewing on this leaf, it's bitter, it's chewing all the time, why do you want to do this? Because here, here...... He vomited twice, not much, but he was unable to hide the marks when he left...... Why do you want to stay here all the time? Why do you vomit? What is this leaf chewed for? It's not a special hobby...... Chen Zhutou paused, "He was injured, and it was a serious injury, and he needed this leaf to refresh himself, such a serious injury even caused him to vomit twice, he sat here and waited, maybe he was not sure to kill, but ...... Who's coming......"

Deputy Xu looked at the chewing leaves and vomit: "This is a branch." ”

"I also know that there are extraneous branches." Chen Zhutou spat out the leaves in his mouth, and then threw away the branches in his hand, "I really don't want to chew the second piece...... Yang Yi and Yang Heng brothers have been kidnapping people in recent years, tying pigs, some are vendettas, and some are accepting the entrustment of big families to tie up some favorite women, Gu Yanzhen came over at night, indicating that he is not a good thing, I am afraid that he has entrusted the other party to kidnap people...... The person sitting here didn't know if Lu Dao's relatives at home had been kidnapped, or if he himself had been kidnapped, so he had to wait here, waiting for the mastermind behind the scenes to appear......"

"If you can kill Yang Yi and Yang Heng's family, I'm afraid it's also a ruthless character who is difficult to provoke, it shouldn't be that he himself was kidnapped."

"It's too ruthless...... Chen Zhutou sighed, "After killing the Yang family, he was seriously injured, and he can still wait here quietly, until the mastermind behind the scenes comes, and then even Gu Yanzhen's master and servant are killed...... Lao Xu, we've been doing it for so many years, and how many of the outlaws in our hands can do it to this extent? ”

"After being seriously injured, she still killed Gu Yanzhen's master and servant, could it be the female assassin, assuming that a person who was very important to her was kidnapped, Yang Yi and Yang Heng threatened her, causing her to be seriously injured, but she still killed the entire Yang family in the end. Then she is a master and bold, waiting here for Gu Yanzhen's master and servant to appear, and kill ......"

"It's a corollary. But the next day, when she appeared and killed the two servants of the Gu family, she was still alive and well......" Chen Zhutou shook his head, "This person may not know martial arts, but he is extremely ruthless, and he is ruthless to others and himself, and he has to see the mastermind behind the scenes here if he risks his life, because he doesn't want someone to stare at him behind his back, but he doesn't know what to do, such a person is too terrible......"

"That'...... If the circumstances of the case have changed, how will I report it next? Deputy Xu asked tentatively.

"How can I report it? The adults have said those things, do you still want to tell him that this may be another case? What does this mean? It's hard to make evidence. Originally, when this rain fell, there was nothing. Chen Zhutou patted the bamboo next to him and shook his head, "Merge." After confirming that the female assassin had done everything, he issued a sea fishing paper. I am afraid that there are more than ten murders on Yang Yi's hands, and Gu Yanzhen, who came to entrust people to kidnap people, is not a good thing. If my family is kidnapped, I will also kill the whole family before the matter is known, you and I will secretly investigate. ”,

In many folk performing arts stories, it is said that so-and-so is upright and selfless, and is praised by the people. But in fact, the so-called uprightness also needs to have rules, and it doesn't matter if you are upright in small things, but if your temper is as hard as a cow at any time, then you can't get to this position at all, especially this kind of thing that can make the official be scolded and trained, and reduce the performance evaluation of the government.

After Chen Zhutou finished speaking, Lao Xu next to him also nodded: "It should be so." ”

Soon after, heavy rains began to fall.

By mid-June, the effects of the flooding in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River began to be felt. When Ning Yi returned to Jiangning, the victims also came from the west one after another, and it was just the beginning at this time, and the atmosphere in the city was slightly tense, which was not obvious, but if people with this kind of experience probably knew what would happen to Lu Dao.

met with Qin Lao Kang, and also met with Li Pin and others again, everyone expressed their greetings about the burn of his left hand, and when asked about the process, Ning Yi naturally used the reason to tell the Su family perfunctory. Su Chonghua originally told him to rest for more time, but it was not good to rest directly for half a year, and a few days later, he went to Yushan Academy again to take classes.

The experiment of high liquor distillation has basically been finalized, and without Lu Hongti living in the small courtyard, Ning Yi doesn't care if he goes there to do experiments every day, so in the afternoon, he basically went to the Qinhuai River to play chess and chat with Qin Lao. During the time he was not in Jiangning, Li Pin basically took him to teach the children, so after he came back, he also invited him to have a meal and chat as a reward, Li Pin is similar to Qin Lao Kang, and he has been concerned about the disaster victims recently.

“…… Up to now, four places in the upper reaches have been flooded, the Yellow River has burst its embankment, after July, the victims are pouring in, I am afraid that it will have to be closed again, today the price of grain has been soaring, alas, I don't know how many people will die this autumn......"

Of course, there are not many traces of turmoil in Jiangning City, life continues day by day, the business of the Qinglou painting boat is still good, and the officials and scholars sing songs every night to worry about the country and the people, but there are also some good poems that express the feelings of worrying about the country and the people. In the past few days, you can see the grain trucks entering and leaving at the gate of Sufu, referring to the trajectory of each such disaster, many large households have been stockpiling grain. Su Tan'er was also worried, of course, the direction of worry was also different.

"Recently, business has been declining in various places, and by mid-to-late July, as soon as the city gates are closed, it is estimated that the city will also have to close its shops...... You have to go to the soup kitchen inside and outside the city, and you have to donate a large amount to the government, and there are not many carrier pigeons at home, and if you fly out of the city to be beaten down and eaten, it will be more troublesome, and if you have to hire a messenger to invite a fast horse to enter and exit at such a time, the cost will be greater, and the time of a few months, I am afraid that it will be delayed......"

In the evening, she and Ning Yi were talking in the corridor on the second floor, eating in their mouths while talking about this. She has been quite busy recently, but although she is complaining, her spirit seems to be good, and I am afraid that there has been some good progress in the matter of the imperial business.

At the end of June, when I went to the Zhuji main store to eat, I met Yuan Jin'er. She probably had nothing to do, so she came to play with her Sister Yunzhu, and when she saw Ning Yi coming over, she volunteered to bring out a bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge, and slammed it on the table in front of Ning Yi, which startled Ning Yi, and when she saw this figure that seemed to be a little familiar, she laughed: "Xiao Er, so unprofessional, beware of being complained." ”

"If you complain, you will complain" Yuan Jin'er crossed her hands on her hips, stuck out her tongue and made a hateful grimace, then turned around and walked inside. Not long after, Nie Yunzhu came out with a smile, and she followed, sat down at the table with Nie Yunzhu, and kept a straight face there for a while, and then said, "Ning Caizi, write me a poem." ”

Ning Yi ate the porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat, and nodded: "Okay." ”

"Huh?"

Ning Yi's simple answer startled her, and she was stunned for a long time before saying, "Really help me write it?" ”

"You helped Songhuadan to promote it last time, and now that you have opened your mouth, there is no reason to refuse you."

"Hmph, last time I was helping Sister Yunzhu." Yuan Jin'er held her chin and thought for a while, her fingers tapping on her cheek, "But didn't that Taoist priest only write two poems?" ”

"This time, I said it was written by a monk."

Yuan Jin'er couldn't help laughing: "But I'll take out the song and sing it, I'll say it's Ning Liheng wrote it for me, I'll say it's Ning Liheng 'specially' wrote it for me", Ning Yi spread his hands.

Yuan Jin'er looked at him for a while, and then looked at Nie Yunzhu: "You're not bad, but I still hate you, Sister Yunzhu, let's go, don't want his poems, and don't talk to him"

She took Nie Yunzhu's hand and left, Nie Yunzhu called "Jin'er, Jin'er" a few words, and finally let her take it away.

Yuan Jin'er's dissatisfaction with him Ning Yi had heard Nie Yunzhu say it earlier, probably because he supported Qilan in the Oiran Competition, there was no way to be reasonable in this matter, and of course there was no need to be reasonable.

At the end of June, there were not yet dog days, and the weather was hot, but because of the floods and disasters in the upper reaches, even the breath of Jiangning was a little dull and depressed.

After Gu Yanzhen's death, it seems that he also looked for Li Pin and Nie Yunzhu to inquire about some situations, Zhuji's business is already very good, and the Su family is busy preparing for the disaster, Su Tan'er continued her plan, and one day she brought back a small piece of silk with a very bright color the size of a palm, and secretly showed it to Ning Yi at night: "Isn't it beautiful?" ”

I drank porridge at noon on this day, and went down to the Qinhuai River in the afternoon, and met Qin Lao Kang Laodu, the flood season is actually coming to an end, but there may be the last wave of tide, and the two old people have been talking about things and methods such as disaster relief after floods recently.

"Shaohe is over there in Jiangzhou, I'm afraid I'm going to have to be busy next, disaster relief is different from other things, such urgent matters, Si Yuan should do more to mention it." Kang Xian is talking about Qin Siyuan's eldest son Qin Shaohe, who is now an official in Jiangzhou, Qin Siyuan also nodded at this time: "I have handed over a few letters to my family in the past two months, and most of what should be said has already been said, and the situation over there is basically from the family letter he sent back." ”

At this time, it was basically Qin Lao and Kang Lao chatting, Ning Yi was thinking about some things in his heart, and after a while, Qin Lao asked, and he smiled: "It's just some ideas...... Well, tidy it up tonight, and take it tomorrow to see, if it works...... Heh, I will send two things to Qin Lao. ”

I went to bed at two o'clock in the morning and got up at four o'clock in the afternoon, I slept for more than six hours for the first time in half a month, I was full of energy, I had been resurrected, and I felt good The next shift is in the early hours of the morning, and I strive to be before ^_^ two o'clock
