Chapter 32 Missed

Anyang County Magistrate's Mansion.

"My lord, my lord, do you think this tea is to your liking?" Magistrate Cheng Kun sat on a chair, raised his hand and touched the sweat on his forehead, showing a flattering smile.

Sit up.

The man was wearing a dark blue plain brocade robe, with a jade folding fan on his waist. He held the teacup in his slender white hands, took a sip lightly, glanced at Cheng Kun, and showed a gentle smile on his lips.

"Is Chengzhi County very hot?"

Cheng Kun touched the sweat again, and his heart stopped briefly, "No, no!"

Su Xuanyan smiled and said no more.

But this smile almost made Cheng Kun kneel down on the spot.

To say that His Majesty is cruel and tyrannical today, Prince Ding'an is no less generous. Rumor has it that the happier the Prince smiles, the more ruthless he is when killing people.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, Su Xuanyan was ordered to interrogate the female assassin.

Bianzhou... does seem to have some problems.

Therefore, Su Xuanyan set off overnight and took a group of people to Bianzhou to check, passing by Anyang County for a short rest.

Seeing Cheng Kuncheng's fearful look, Su Xuanyan naturally knew what he was afraid of, but he still drank tea quietly.

'Dong, dong dong dong...'

Cheng Kun was already sitting on pins and needles. When he heard the sudden sound of drum beating, he almost fell off his chair and shouted loudly: "Master! Master!"

"Yes!" Master hurried from the door.

"Didn't I say that since the prince is here, I won't take the case today?" Cheng Kun feigned anger and yelled.

The master glanced at Cheng Kun in embarrassment, "Sir... the person playing the drum is Dr. Li from Huichun Hall."

Dr. Li of Huichun Hall was the imperial physician who returned to his hometown. He once served the late emperor, but he recovered due to illness. Later, after he recovered, he worked again at Huichun Hall. He helped the world and saved people on weekdays, and was very loved by the people of Anyang County.

.

Even Cheng Kun is usually called Mr. Sir.

But today...

Cheng Kun glanced sideways at Su Xuanyan, waved his hand, and was about to speak.

But he saw Su Xuanyan put down the tea cup and slowly straightened the folds of his sleeves, "I am just passing through here to ask for a cup of tea from the magistrate. Since the tea is finished, I will leave."

As he said that, Su Xuanyan glanced at Cheng Kun with a half-smile, and said: "You can't just because the king is here, the people are not even allowed to cry out for injustice, right?"

Cheng Kun almost wanted to kneel down in front of Su Xuanyan. The sweat on his back was like gold, and his whole back was soaked.

"Didn't you hear what the prince said? Hurry up and invite people in!" Cheng Kun scolded the master.

The master looked at Su Xuanyan tremblingly and responded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, I will send you off."

Cheng Kun personally sent Su Xuanyan away.

At the door, Li Su put down the drumstick and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After thinking about it for the past few days, he was still worried about the little baby, so he hurried over to report to the official as soon as they left the city.

Seeing Cheng Kun, I felt happy. Just as I was about to step forward, I saw him nodding and bowing and sending the handsome man out. He looked... he looked familiar.

At this moment of confusion, the master grabbed his arm and said, "Doctor Li, please come in."

Su Xuanyan got on the carriage and glanced at Li Su who had already stepped through the door. He frowned slightly and felt a little uneasy. This feeling came too suddenly and there was no way to understand it.

"Your Majesty?"

Su Xuanyan came to his senses, looked away, lowered the curtain, "Let's go."

"promise."

**

The carriage stopped and went, and soon arrived at a small town near Bianzhou.

"Uncle Zhao, what's wrong here?"

Su Jiu looked out of the carriage through the curtain.

I saw that the grass and trees were withered, a cloud of gray-yellow dust was raised wherever the carriage passed, and the city gate not far away was also desolate, with no defenders at all.

There was no movement on Zhao Enli's face, as if he had been accustomed to it for a long time. He did not answer, but drove the carriage straight into the city.

This is a small city close to Bianzhou.

After entering the city, what you see is not the lively and bustling streets, but the lifeless desolation.

There were many people in ragged clothes sitting on both sides of the street. Their faces were full of grayness. They were numb and dull. When they saw the carriage, there was a trace of bloodlust in their eyes that wanted to skin and tear people apart.

But when he caught a glimpse of the sword at Zhao Enli's waist, the only hint of color in his eyes quickly faded away.

"uncle."

The villain has never seen such a tragic scene in the world. His almond-shaped eyes were filled with confusion and unspeakable sadness, so sad that his voice was filled with tears.

Zhao Enli squeezed the horse's rope tightly, hearing the fear in the villain's voice, and laughed in his heart, are you scared?

The disaster in Bianzhou lasted for several months, and people died of hunger all over the place. This was only on the edge of Bianzhou. Further inside, people exchanged their children for food, and cannibalism of human flesh and blood often happened.

But what about the owner of this country?

He was still in the distant palace in the capital, well-dressed, well-fed, hugged and even in the mood to hunt.

Why?!

Why do they have to encounter this?

Aren't they the citizens of this country?

But even so, Zhao Enli sadly discovered that the only one who could save Bianzhou was Su Yijun.

Zhao Enli gritted his teeth, grinding them with hatred, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Ah! No! I beg you no!"

At this time——

A scream for mercy broke the dead silence.

The villain immediately opened the curtain.

Not far away.

Several men in civilian clothes with fierce faces surrounded a woman. The leading man ignored the woman's plea for mercy and went to snatch the baby from the woman's arms.

The baby was woken up, crying loudly, his voice was hoarse, and he was weak.

"Damn it, are you guys dead? Why don't you get this crazy bitch away quickly!"

The man was very fat, with a fleshy face, and he kicked the woman in the heart mercilessly. The woman groaned, blood flowed from her mouth, her body trembled, but she remained motionless, tightly hugging the man's thigh.

Several other people looked at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to pull her. Fists like raindrops fell on the woman, but the woman still hugged the fat man's thigh until finally she could no longer hold on and let go.

His hands were kicked to the ground.

The fat man took this opportunity and stepped back quickly, holding the crying baby in his arms and turning around to leave.

The woman has a sad expression, and a pair of eyes behind her messy hair burst out with endless light. It is resentment, hatred, and a mother's tenacious protection of her children.

"Qian Daren! He is your son! How could you do this to our son!"

The fat man Qian Daren paused in his steps and made a disgusted sound to the woman, "I can't even afford food, why should I give you back my son? If it weren't for your worthless bones, I would have sold you long ago.

"

After saying that, the fat man led a group of people and left without looking back, holding the baby.

"Mom! Mom, don't scare me!"

At this time, in the corner, an unkempt girl came to the woman and wanted to help her up from the ground. However, she was already young and had hardly eaten these days, so she couldn't help her up several times.

Instead, he also fell to the ground.

"Mom! Someone is coming! Please save my mother!"

The girl looked to be only five or six years old. She held the woman's head and cried loudly.

But everyone around her knew that this woman might not live long.
