Chapter 12 Public Assassination in Public!
Early the next morning, the woman left without saying goodbye with the child, leaving behind a letter.It is said that there is no repayment for the grace of saving lives, and I can no longer trouble my benefactor, so I have to pray every morning and evening, so that my benefactor will be blessed and live longer.
The writing is excellent.
Such a daughter of a boudoir, in such a situation, only hoped that after the famine, she and the child would have a good home.
At noon, Bai Zhou and Yuan Ning Wang went to the street, and found out an important news - the county guard Wang Hezhi had someone backing him in the court.
In fact, he had already guessed this matter during the daytime, but he still felt that he had to go to the place and hear and see it for himself before he could figure it out.
After all, those who dare to make trouble in the one-acre-three-point land at the feet of the emperor are either because the water behind them is bottomless, or they are stupid.
It's a pity that after asking several people, everyone only heard that the power behind Wang Hezhi was powerful, but no one could tell who it was.
Come on, sooner or later the fox tail will show up.
On the third day, the imperial court's disaster relief team arrived, along with doctors.
Watching from a distance in the teahouse during the daytime, he recognized that the official who escorted the food this time was the servant of the household department, and his rank was half a rank higher than that of Wang Hezhi, the county guard.
Wang Hezhi greeted Gao from afar, and greeted him all the way from the gate of the city gate to the front of the government office.Even in the event of a catastrophe, clean water is still arranged to splash the streets, and loess is used to pad the roads.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the ostentation of the emperor's travels. Even in the novels of the fictional era, the etiquette is not incomplete.
However, upon closer inspection during the daytime, one could not see Wang Hezhi being somewhat respectful. The two seemed to be familiar with each other, and this was not the first time they had met.
The servant of the household department explained a few words to his subordinates at the door, and the officials under him began to distribute grain according to the household register. At the same time, they provided more porridge and set up medical sheds in the city.
The common people are like this, no matter how well they know the local officials are rotten, they still have to live. Most people actually think well of those in power as long as they can eat enough and dress warmly.Seeing the steaming food, the refugees all flocked to the food distribution point.
Look at the two Wang Hezhi, hand in hand in front of the government office, and then enter the inner hall arm in arm.
Think about Wang Hezhi, although he is a sheriff, but he is not an official of the central government, so why is he so familiar with the servant of the household department.
During the daytime, I found it more and more interesting. There was too much sludge in the fish ponds of the imperial court of the Yao Kingdom, and there were many people who fished in troubled waters. Let's watch you make trouble first. When I go back to the capital this time, I will have a good time with you.
He was secretly getting angry when he heard the prince calling him in a low voice.
"Ah Jing," the prince said, "You look so bad, you have worked hard for a few days, and you are angry. Let's leave it like this today. Let's go back."
Bai Tian really felt that his body was already protesting to him. Since he woke up in the morning, his head was dizzy. After seeing things, there was probably no need to be brave anymore, so he nodded in agreement.
Seeing that he is very persuasive today, King Yuanning put down the tea money and got up to follow.
On the way back to the inn, Bai Tian was absent-minded all the time, secretly thinking about the intricate interpersonal relationship between Chao and Zhong.
Even when he returned to the house, King Yuanning asked him to rest for a while, but he just agreed, sitting in front of the window and watching the shadowy figures on the street through the translucent transparent paper.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that it was already dark, and the prince had been away for a long time, and I don't know where he went.
Following the twilight in the corridors of the inn and outside the window, he lit the candles in the room, and was about to leave the house to find Prince Ning, when he saw the prince standing at the door with a casserole in his hand, looking at him with a smile: "Are you hungry?" .”
It's okay if you don't ask, just ask...
It really is.
The glutinous porridge was boiled in the pot, and with the heat released from the heat, a very faint medicinal fragrance fainted from the base.
After taking a bite during the day, the rice grains melted in the mouth.There is meat in the porridge, like poultry, fresh and tender, with a slight salty taste, which makes the porridge taste more fresh.
The warmth slipped from his throat into his stomach, making him homesick and also thinking of Jian Lanyuan.
"The butcher shops are closed, where did the meat come from?"
In today's Beng'an County, although the streets are not full of starvation, there are still refugees all over the city. Most of the shops are closed. The reason is very simple. Who knows whether these refugees will rob when they are so hungry.
"I went hunting game in the outskirts of the city just now. I was lucky, and it didn't take much effort," the prince replied.
Nodding his head during the day, he secretly sighed that the life skills of the ancients were better than those of modern people.Even if he was in good health during the day, if he was thrown into the wild, he might just spend his life picking wild fruits and watching so many episodes of "Survival in the Wild" in vain.
Theory has to be combined with reality. Talking about it on paper is easier said than done.
He thought in his heart that this trip was almost over here, and if Bugo couldn't stand it in the palace after being outside for a long time, accidents would easily happen.Just go to bed early tonight and go back at dawn tomorrow.
But the sky is so unfulfilling, as expected, in the novel, I can’t stop eating all the time—the street suddenly became chaotic, and many people ran in one direction, so noisy that I couldn’t hear what they were shouting.
Bai Tian got up and opened the window, the cold wind poured in from outside the window, which made him cough lightly, and he covered his mouth and nose with the sleeve of his robe while looking into the street.
I saw a large number of people heading towards the government office.
At some point, King Yuanning had already stood by Bairi's side, sighed, and said, "Ah Jing, don't worry about this matter, I've already asked someone to watch in secret, you have to rest."
Hearing what he meant, did he expect such an event?
"What are they going to do?" The emperor turned a deaf ear to the prince's persuasion.
King Yuanning saw what the emperor meant, and if he didn't tell him clearly, he wouldn't go to rest, so he said: "What else can I do, the high officials from the capital city are here, so someone will take the lead to file a complaint."
After waiting for a whole day, no one complained, and it was getting darker.
"Go and have a look." Hearing this, Bai Zhou turned around and walked out of the room.
The prince had no choice but to grab the cloak at the door and chase after him to put it on.
It was still the same teahouse, maybe because it was near the gate of the government office, it had the courage to keep doing business.
Hundreds of people had gathered in front of the government yamen, and the refugees and common people were still gathering. The officials in the yamen had already begun to drive away the people who crowded too closely, and separated the idlers from a scholar kneeling in front of the yamen. .
The scholar is no longer young, his hair and beard are gray, and his clothes are torn, but the paper in his hand is clean and smooth.
Looking at the Mingyuan drum in Yaqian again, the drum skin was broken, one drumstick fell to the ground, and the other part leaked into the belly of the drum.
After a while, the Minister of Household Affairs and the Sheriff Wang Hezhi stood side by side in front of the gate of the government office. It seemed that neither of them intended to be promoted.
The scholar took two steps on his knees, kowtowed and said: "Craftsmen... I would like to thank the emperor for his life-saving kindness in giving food, and thank the servant of the household department, Mr. Yao, for his virtue of helping the poor by escorting the food. But...but I want to ask Mr. Yao to sue the county governor Wang Hezhi on his behalf. The crimes in the fish and meat town for many years!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Tian's heart turned cold. This scholar has integrity, but his brain is not very good.
The servant of the household department was surnamed Yao, and his single name was Xin. He looked at Wang He next to him, went down the steps, and helped the old man with white beard and hair up: "You don't need to be polite, old man. As far as I know, this time The cause of the famine was the blizzard a few days ago, but why did you sue the parents and officials in the county?"
The old man saw that Yao Xin treated him gently and politely, kowtowed and stood up, tremblingly said: "The crux of the problem is that natural disasters encounter man-made disasters. Wang Hezhi's crimes are too numerous to list, my lord, please read carefully..."
As he spoke, he handed the pleadings in his hand to Yao Xin.
Unexpectedly, one moment before Yao Xin accepted the pleading, the next moment, the old man's body shook, and then fell to the ground.
Yao Xin was taken aback, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Wang Hezhi was calm and calm, and dealt with it appropriately, and immediately ordered the servants to maintain order and prevent trampling due to chaos.
During the daytime, people were outside the chaos, and they could see clearly. When the old man had an accident, his figure flashed and then disappeared into the darkness.
Public assassination in public!
Apart from Wang Hezhi's own people, there really is no second explanation for being able to hide in the upper floors of the government office.
During the day, he held the teacup tightly, and couldn't stop his hands from shaking due to emotion. His joints turned white due to the exertion. King Yuanning vaguely saw that the carving of snakes on the emperor's neck under the cloak had already appeared. .
Just at this time, a person suddenly jumped out from the crowd, stepped forward and hugged the old man's body, only to be pulled away by the yamen servant for a moment.
is a woman.
It was the woman whom Bai Tian and Yuan Ning met the night before. She was emotional and kept crying.
She shouted something, all of which were lost in the noise, but she could only vaguely distinguish that she called the old man "Daddy".
Bai Zhou knew in his heart that this was a novel, not reality, but what he saw before his eyes were clearly living people, no different from himself.
Known and seen are distorted like never before.
A dull pain hit his heart, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to cover it, followed by cold sweat breaking out all over his body in an instant.
It was angina from his ischemic heart disease.It is also the pain that makes him feel that everything is real, and the reality is terrifying...
Bai Zhou knew he shouldn't be angry, but he couldn't control it.
The chaotic sounds in his ears were gradually replaced by his own heavier and heavier breathing. Under the severe pain, his senses blocked the external disturbances by themselves, and they all focused on the pain in his heart...
The pain caused him to lie on the table unconsciously, bury his head in his arms, and in a daze, he saw King Yuanning get up and move to his side.
The prince helped the emperor up, felt his pulse for a moment, stuffed two pills into his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Hold it, don't swallow it."
Then, he pushed up the emperor's sleeve to expose his forearm, and needled up and down the three acupuncture points of Neiguan, Yinqie, and Qimen. Put it on the Tanzhong acupoint on his chest.
The prince was worried that his clothes would touch the silver needle on his chest, so he had to hold it with his hands all the time.
At this time, there were other customers watching the excitement in the store, and it was really too eye-catching for the two of them to be seen like this.
The prince simply stretched out his left arm and embraced the daytime in his arms. The wide and long cloak flicked to cover him completely, and put his left hand on the table. In this way, only from the window could he see that there was someone in the prince's arms. Looking at it from the store, it was just that the customer in front of the window was sitting in a domineering and sassy posture.
After about half a stick of incense, the prince withdrew the needle, looked down at the person in his arms, his complexion was still not good, but his breathing had stabilized, his eyes were closed, and there was still a hint of pain in his expression.
As a doctor, Jian Lanyuan had seen too much separation between life and death, and the impermanence of the world, so many things were caught off guard. He had already arranged for someone to watch Wang Hezhi secretly, but he really didn't expect that he was so bold and outrageous.
It's not that Jian Lanyuan is not angry, but he knows that he can deal with things that can be changed through hard work more calmly if he doesn't get entangled in what he can't do.
He didn't know if he was talking to himself, or if he really wanted to tell Bai Tian, he said: "The incident happened suddenly, the deceased is already dead, but the murderer can't escape."
After speaking, in the chaos, the prince put on his hood, hugged his majesty horizontally, walked downstairs quickly, and led him away from this troubled place. His figure quickly disappeared into the vast night.
