Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 166
After more than ten days of being in a state of despair, Chen Di had no choice but to drown his sorrows with alcohol every day, and sent out people to find people, from five or six at the beginning, to more than thirty at the peak.

King Ping was also very frightened by his son's decadent appearance, so he pulled out all the people in the palace that could be spared, and tried his best to cooperate in finding Xu Guanzhe's whereabouts.

However, the latter is like disappearing from the world, and no one knows.

Live without people, dead without corpses.

Chen Di smiled unshavenly at King Ping: "If I find out that Ah Zhe's disappearance is related to you, you will have no son in the future."

King Ping was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he had nothing to do with this son, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it. Even the hidden guards were sent out to look for him.

One morning after Xu Guanzhe disappeared for a full month.

The beginning of April is a good time, the peach blossoms are flying in the capital, and the houses of the people in the south city near the city wall will wake up to the fragrance of the peach blossoms every day. The neither cold nor hot days make the low and dilapidated slums not so cold or stuffy .

This is one of the few times when the poor in Nancheng can feel that being alive is not such a bad thing.

Gu Silang stretched his waist, looked out through the window paper that was torn like a spider web, well, it's four o'clock, it's not too late today.

I rushed to work last night, slept too late, and almost couldn't get up today. The shopkeeper will not pay an extra penny when I rush to work, but I will deduct money if I am late.

As an apprentice of a pharmacy, Gu Silang didn't dare to complain at all. After all, compared with the boy from the Qian family next door who apprenticed with a master carpenter and didn't have a penny in wages, the pharmacy could still give him money to buy salt.

Gu Silang is very contented, the shopkeeper is not a black hearted person, his mother is sick and takes medicine all the year round, every time Gu Silang needs to pick up the medicine, he can pay two or three pennies less, which has made him very grateful.

One penny can buy a black-faced pancake, which is enough for my mother to eat a meal.

He quickly put on the coarse cloth short shirt and trousers, wiped his face with cold water, and became sober, he warmed up the sorghum rice porridge that he made last night for his mother, took it into the house, and swallowed a bowl whole.

But in the scene of a stick of incense, Gu Silang opened the door and went to work.

I don't know if it's because the porridge wasn't hot enough, Gu Silang walked a few hundred meters away, and felt his stomach churn up and down, seeing that he was going to be unstoppable, he bent over, clamped his legs tightly, and looked around in pain , to see if there are any hidden spots.

He had already reached the edge of Nancheng District at this time, and after a short walk, he arrived at the official road of Nancheng Gate.There must be a lot of people coming and going by now.

Only poor people like him who are begging for a living will enter and leave through the south gate, so there is no reason not to be too early.

He looked left and right, there was a small crooked alley, and people passed him from time to time, even if he wanted to solve it on the spot, he still had to have that face!

He struggled to move about ten meters forward. He had exhausted all his strength. Seeing that he was stretched in his trousers, it was not a big deal to be embarrassed, but because of this, he went back to change clothes, was late for work, and was scolded by the shopkeeper. He absolutely cannot afford it.

How to do how to do?
Gu Silang finally set his target on an abandoned courtyard on the side of the street.

There are no unowned houses in Nancheng, even if they are widowed or lonely, the government will come forward. If there are no close relatives, they will be taken back to the government and sold again.

Living in the capital is not easy, and most of the people living in the south city are poor people. The three-foot-square courtyard left by the older generation is an excellent shelter. Even if the family is crowded head to head, it is easy to get No money to buy a new house.

Therefore, most of these dilapidated houses are in the hands of the government, and no one has repaired them, and they are gradually declining.There are also some poor people who have no land to live in. They will rent it from the government for a few dollars and have no money to repair it.

Gu Silang no longer cares about whether there is anyone here. If there is no one, it will not be a problem for him to poop. If there is someone, he thinks about apologizing to them after the toilet is used up. Seeing that he has accumulated fat, at most Swear a few words for breaking the rules.

Shit waits for no one, just do it!Gu Silang climbed up the half-fallen courtyard wall, hey!The grass is as tall as someone, and the roof has holes, so it doesn't look like it can live in people.

He took a nearby meal, solved the three urgent problems, and was about to leave satisfied. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person lying not far away.

Could it be that some idler has nowhere to stay, so he borrowed this place?He is very courageous, he just lives in an empty house, and if he is caught quickly, he will spend a lot of money.

Curious, he took a few steps deep into the grass.

If Gu Silang knew what he was about to see, he would never have walked into that grass even if he pulled his pants and lost his job!
The three of them lay neatly on the ground, all wearing fine white silk inner garments. They folded their hands and put them on their chests. Their cheeks were sunken, and all the exposed skin was an unhealthy bluish white. The way people should be!
There was a faint stench, which was the smell of human body decay. Gu Silang was an apprentice in a pharmacy, and he had smelled this kind of stench from some patients with rotten feet and rotten legs.

If he doesn't understand that these three are corpses and not living people, then he is a stick!
Crawling out on both hands and feet, his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he hesitated between immediately going to work as if nothing happened, or choosing to report to the police?
He hesitated for a while, a little afraid that he would be directly arrested as a murderer. In the eyes of ordinary people, the government is a vicious existence. As long as they can't find the real murderer, in order to solve the case, they can arrest anyone to take the blame, beat them into tricks or something. not too much.

But he had already stayed in the dilapidated house for a while, and it was hard to be sure whether anyone had seen him go in. If he didn't report to the police, and he would be implicated again when something happened, it would be hard to argue.

That's all, that's all!Just bet that the current governor of Jingzhao is a sensible official!Gu Silang ran away and went to the Yamen to report to the officials.

"Master officer, there are, there are three dead people in the ruined courtyard at the bottom of Nancheng and Nancheng!"

It's scary enough to have dead people, but there are three of them.

"Is this true?"

"Even if the little one has the guts of a bear's heart and a leopard, he doesn't dare to say it. The guard will know it at a glance."

"Lead the way!"

Xu Guanzhe is dead!Chen Di only felt a buzzing in his head, and the servant's mouth was still opening and closing, but he couldn't hear a single word.

how come?Obviously when he left Beijing, he was still in good condition, and he promised to wait for him to come back, but after just a few days, the good people disappeared?
He stumbled and ran out, he wanted to see it with his own eyes, otherwise, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.

Jingzhao government office.

The three corpses had been placed neatly in the morgue of the Houya, and the staff began to prepare for the examination of the corpses in an orderly manner.

The door was kicked open suddenly, and a young man with bloodshot eyes rushed in like the wind. Behind him, followed the helpless Jingzhao Fu Yin: "Master, this is really not where you should come~~"
