Chapter 605
On the way back, Fu Ling couldn't help but lift the curtains on the carriage to look out because she had been out of the house for a long time.

As the fifteenth day of the first lunar month approaches, there are more and more people on the street, and more and more people are shopping.

When Fuling looked out, Forsythia mentioned,
"Let's go to the yamen."

Fu Ling asked the driver to change the route.

Since the Yangzhou magistrate's accident, Yangzhou affairs have been temporarily handled by Qi Huanyu.

Fu Ling quietly looked at the young lady who closed her eyes and meditated.

I thought, since I am going to the Yamen, I should go to Mr. Qi!

At this time, Qi Huanyu and Yanzhi also returned to the Yamen.

Lian Qiao just got off the carriage when she saw Qi Huanyu, and after Fushen saluted, she explained her intentions.

She wanted to see the magistrate of Yangzhou.

Qi Huanyu agreed.

**
Since the Yangzhou prefect was captured, he has been locked in a prison.

Unlike the meeting years ago, when Forsythia saw him again, he found that the other person was like a dead bone.

Qi Huanyu said that the magistrate of Yangzhou had been silent since his disaster.

According to what He Tongzhi explained, the recent unrest in Yangzhou was mostly planned by the prefect of Yangzhou.

In the name of water bandits, murder and rob money,
But when Qi Huanyu was looking for it, he didn't get the extra money from the magistrate of Yangzhou.

A large sum of money was missing.

He Tongzhi expressed ignorance of this.

It is only said that after the wealthy businessman's money was intercepted, except for a small part of the reward, most of it was sent away by the prefect of Yangzhou.

As for where and to whom?The prefect of Yangzhou never revealed it.

Qi Huanyu recalled the adoring expression of the Yangzhou prefect on Guanyin Mountain, and vaguely felt that the key to the matter was the person who made the Yangzhou prefect feel admirable.

But no matter how he asked, the magistrate of Yangzhou never said a word.

But the figure is getting thinner day by day.

For this reason, Qi Huanyu also invited a doctor.

The doctor said that his pulse condition was very strange, which was never encountered before.

After seeing the forsythia, the magistrate of Yangzhou's eyes were dull, and he moved his eyes away after taking a look.

Sitting facing the wall, eyes closed, not speaking.

Lian Qiao stood outside the prison and looked at him, and stated calmly,

"I'm alive."

When she left the mansion today, besides dealing with the business of the store, she also wanted to meet the prefect of Yangzhou.

I want to speak clearly with him.

To this day, she still remembers the mocking look on the face of the prefect of Yangzhou when she mentioned her parents on Guanyin Mountain.

She remembered every word from the mouth of the Yangzhou magistrate.

Forsythia looked at the magistrate of Yangzhou, and she felt it was necessary to say something clearly.

"Your evil is true evil,

But what my parents did was not stupid, but benevolent,

Although they are businessmen, what they care about is the livelihood of this country,

They are willing to do good deeds, help others, and be kind to others.

All this is not because of their stupidity, but because of their kindness. "

The eyes of the Yangzhou magistrate looked like a dark and opaque bottomless pit, his dry lips were parted, and his expression was very strange.

Forsythia's gaze never retreated and met his gaze, holding her breath,
"I know, if I tell you this, you won't understand,

You don't understand, it's okay if you don't understand,
What I should say to you, I still want to say to you. "

After speaking, leave the prison.

Qi Huanyu was outside the prison, when Lianqiao saw someone, she thanked him with a blessing,
"Thank you sir."

Qi Huanyu glanced at her direction when he spoke, and said,
"It's okay."

The two stood facing each other for a while.

Forsythia felt that maybe she should say something, but she didn't know what to say.

It just so happened that snowflakes were falling from the sky at this time.

Lian Qiao glanced at the gloomy sky above her head, she opened her palm slightly, and snowflakes fell on her palm, which instantly melted into a drop of water by the temperature of her palm.

Curling up her palms, Forsythia smiled slightly,
"I'm going back."

Qi Huanyu nodded and sent him out.

It kept snowing.

The magistrate of Yangzhou died in prison that night.

Shaped like a dry bone.

The jailer told Qi Huanyu about the situation, and Qi Huanyu ordered him to be buried.

Because he is a heavy prisoner and has committed many crimes, the jailer's attitude towards the magistrate of Yangzhou was not good, so he was wrapped in a straw mat and thrown directly to the mass grave.

Because it was at night, there were many unclaimed corpses on the mass grave, and there was a lot of resentment. It was regarded as the most unlucky place. The two jailers who carried the corpses threw people away and turned around and ran away.

The corpse rolled down the slope, and the person slid out of the straw mat.

I only saw his body was extremely thin, but there were red marks spreading from his wrists,
the shape of the thread,
The red marks grew out of the flesh, the color was extremely bright, as if nourished by the flesh and blood, it became more and more dizzy,
Spread directly from the wrist to the elbow.

**
Since it started snowing on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the snow has not stopped, and has been falling intermittently for two days.

It was not until the twelfth day of the first lunar month that the snow gradually stopped.

Although it will snow in Yangzhou, it is the first time in several years that such a heavy snow has fallen.

The snow on the ground fell a foot thick.

During the day, Lianqiao heard Fu Ling complaining, saying that this year's innocence was strange, it didn't get warmer gradually, but it got colder and colder, and it snowed so hard again.

Forsythia was sleeping soundly at night, but was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.

He got up and lifted the bed curtain, and asked,

"What happened?"

Fu Ling put on her little jacket and went out to see the situation.

After a while, he rubbed his hands and came back out of breath.

"The steward said that the roofs of several rooms in our south yard were crushed by the heavy snow.

Fortunately, there are only a few vacant guest rooms over there, so there is no loss.
Said to wait until dawn to find someone to repair. "

Forsythia nodded to express her understanding.

But I also thought that even if the situation at home is like this, ordinary people will definitely have a harder life because of the heavy snow.

I'm afraid that this heavy snow will make life difficult for many people.

After contemplating, he ordered Poria,
"When it's dawn, go to Uncle Pu and ask him to withdraw some money from the account.
Set up a porridge shed to give porridge. Since our yard needs to be repaired, we should simply invite more people.
Anyone who is damaged in the house due to heavy snow, who can help repair it, will help repair it.

Don't be stingy with money. "

In the past, when parents were around, they would often do things for the common people.

Now that she is the head of the family, she will naturally do more good deeds to help the people.

Awakened by the noise, I couldn't fall asleep anymore, so I simply read a book by candlelight.

After daybreak, Fu Ling went to the store to find the shopkeeper Pu according to her own lady's order.

When there was no one around, the servants reported that Boss Ge asked to see him.

Forsythia still remembers each other.

She had already guessed why the other party came here today.

When we arrived at the front hall, Boss Ge had been waiting early, and when he saw Lianqiao appearing, he hurried up to greet him.

Bring the receipt that Forsythia had torn earlier, and bring 2 taels of silver by the way.

"Miss Lian, this is the receipt of our previous business dealings.
This is silver, count it and see if there is anything wrong? "

Lian Qiao glanced at the end of her eyes, and saw that although the paper was pieced together, the handwriting was vaguely recognizable.
Her eyes are shallow but she has a lot of ideas.
"Boss Ge is so sincere, if I refuse blindly, it will appear that I am too difficult to get along with.

Presumably, Boss Ge had checked it before he came.
That being the case, I'm not checking anymore. "
