Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 181 Caution

Lin Zisu couldn't help but look at Xie Xi, and heard Tian Zhang continue to say: "That day, I originally wanted to go into the thatched house over there and look around again, but then I heard the sound of insects.

The sound is louder than the sound of a crow

Big, as if it has been ringing in my ears. I thought I had encountered a monster, so I ran back quickly. Strangely enough, as soon as I got home, the sound of the bug disappeared. Miss, tell me, here is

Isn’t there some monster causing trouble?”

Lin Zisu saw that the direction Tian Zhang was pointing was exactly where the cellar was. She smiled and comforted her: "Don't panic, ma'am. Wait a while, the government officials will come over and let them check it out."

What’s so weird about this place?”

Mrs. Tian Zhang responded, and measured Lin Zisu up and down again, and said with a smile: "Miss, you look like a Bodhisattva at first glance. You are so good-looking, and you want to do it for us people."

When it comes to seeking justice, you don’t know that here, the government never asks questions.”

Speaking of this, Ms. Tian Zhang immediately started chatting. Ever since she married into Shili Town, she had not seen official officials a few times on weekdays. It was only when summer taxes and autumn taxes were collected that people from the government would come to her door.

The outsiders in this medicine field have lived here for more than ten years. The people in the town have submitted petitions to the county town more than ten times, but they have never paid any attention to them.

In the past few years, the people in the town saw that the court ignored them, and they no longer paid attention to those outsiders.

At the end, Mrs. Tian Zhang said: "It's not that we people are greedy for the things here, but they are really hateful. That's why I thought of finding something here to vent my anger..."

Mrs. Tian Zhang babbled a few more words, and Lin Zisu pointed at Lao Wangtou who was still kneeling not far away and asked: "Auntie, do you know that person?"

Mrs. Tian Zhang immediately nodded and said, "I know, isn't he the old man Wang from Dongtou Tofu Shop in this town? Everyone in our town eats his home-made tofu."

Lin Zisu asked again: "Is this old man Wang's craft passed down from his ancestors?"

Xie Xi's guess was correct. This group was the Jinyi Guards in Beijing, and the leader was Cao Lang, an old acquaintance. Before Cao Lang could dismount, Xie Xi said angrily: "Little Eunuch Cao is a very busy man, and I can't do anything without you."

Jin Yiwei is famous for being domineering. Under normal circumstances, how could he do these things himself?

To be able to drive the Jin Yiwei, there must be some big shot controlling the situation. Fang Maochun was shocked, and when he saw a few people looking for him at the hut not far away, he hurried over.

Why did this damned Yama come here?

Cao Lang dismounted, bowed to Xie Xi, and said, "Your Highness, what did you say? This servant is just sharing your worries for you, and it's just my job."

Lin Zisu's voice was not too quiet, and everyone around her could hear her clearly. When she spoke, she kept staring at Old Wang not far away, wanting to see how Old Wang would react.

Cao Lang was standing in the open space not far away, wearing a straight green bamboo-patterned shirt, standing with his hands behind his back. There was no expression on his face, but there was a leisurely smile at the corner of his mouth.

As Mrs. Tian Zhang was talking, there was a sound of horses neighing in the distance, followed by neat steps, the momentum was overwhelming. The people onlookers had never seen such a large formation, and they hid in the surrounding corners.

They stared in the direction of the coming person, wanting to see what kind of noble person he was.

With the people brought over by Cao Lang, the medicine field became busy again. Cao Lang gave an order, and some people followed and searched, some went to the ground to dig up the soil, and some assisted the guards. After a while, all the medicine fields around him were also

It was opened again.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man Wang's drooped head suddenly raised, and his originally cloudy old eyes suddenly turned sinister. He glanced at Lin Zisu and saw Lin Zisu looking at him, then lowered his head again.

head.

Cao Lang said and began to assign tasks to the few people accompanying him.

When Fang Maochun saw Xie Xi's summons, he didn't take it seriously, but he was still concerned about Xie Xi's face. He calmly called a group of government officials and went out in a grand manner.

Fang Maochun secretly complained in his heart. In recent months, Cao Lang's name was well known among the officials in the capital.

Officials rumored that this young Eunuch Cao was ruthless and ruthless, even worse than Eunuch Cao Shouli of Dongchang.

Xie Xi knew the identity of the visitor before he came closer. He smiled wryly and said to Lin Zisu: "My father directly sent the Jin Yiwei here this time. It seems that he wants Dongchang to take care of it directly and is not prepared to let him go."

We intervened."

Lin Zisu asked a few more questions. Seeing that she was very concerned about Old Man Wang, Mrs. Tian Zhang also said that she was pitying Old Man Wang and said: "This Old Man Wang, the four previous sons are gone, and only

One of my fifth sons went out to sell tofu a month ago and disappeared without a trace. Tell me, at Old Man Wang’s age, he doesn’t even have anyone to die. How pitiful, how pitiful!”

Lin Zisu reminded from the side: "Little Eunuch Cao, there is a cellar next to the thatched house over there, and there are poisons in it. Be careful when searching."

Cao Lang didn't comment on her words, he cupped his hand casually and said calmly: "It saves our family, thank you girl."

It wasn't until another half hour passed that Yin Fangmaochun from Jingzhao Mansion arrived.

When he arrived and got off the sedan, he saw a group of Jinyi guards digging up the soil in the medicine field in full swing, and then he realized that something was wrong.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, the vassal prince cannot interfere with the affairs of the state. Prince Xie Xi of Dun is just an idle prince. After getting married, he went out to join the vassal and had nothing to do with the affairs of the capital. He did not have much say in court affairs.

.

Tian Zhang didn't know why Lin Zisu asked this question. She thought for a long time and said with an uncertain tone: "I don't know about that. Old man Wang is from another town. I heard that he was robbing someone.

The business failed, so they moved to our town."

Lin Zisu smiled and said to Cao Lang: "The corpses in the medicine field also have residual poisons on them. You must be more careful when checking them."

In just over a month, more than a dozen Beijing officials had fallen into his hands and were living in prison, a life worse than death.

Although he does not have a substantial position in the Dongchang at the moment, it is said that the position of the admiral eunuch of the Dongchang belongs to none other than Mr. Cao, and he cannot be provoked.

Thinking of this, Fang Maochun couldn't help but panic in his heart. He walked up to Cao Lang and said with a smile on his face: "Little Eunuch Cao, it's just a trivial matter. Why don't you go there in person? Send someone to say,

The official will definitely take care of this matter in a down-to-earth manner. You see, the mountains and rivers here are poor..."

Cao Lang immediately interrupted him and asked coldly: "Master Fang, let's ask you, hundreds of people died unexpectedly, and you still say it's a trivial matter? At the feet of the emperor, in the most virtuous area, if something like this happened, can you really do it?

Can you afford it?”
