Early in the morning, Mei Berry was awakened by a loud noise.

"What's going on? Aunt Wang is eating melons with Mother again..."

Halfway through the conversation, Mei Berry opened her eyes and realized that she had moved.

"Meow~"

Fat Tiger heard Mei Berry's movement, and jumped from the cat's nest made of bamboo baskets to Mei Berry's bed.

Walking to the window, Mei Berry stretched out her hand to prop up the closed window, and she had a panoramic view of the misty river view.

Her bedroom window is facing her own backyard, and the scenery that can be seen from the backyard can naturally be seen in her house.

Until the slender strands of rain fell on Mei Berry's fingertips with the wind, Mei Berry withdrew her hand feeling the coolness.

Only then did she realize that the rain hadn't stopped in the middle of the night last night.

Just as she was staring at the misty river view in a daze, the noise that woke her up came again from the front yard.

Mei Berry quickly changed her clothes and went to the front yard. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Mei Berry stepped lightly when she heard the sound and stood in a blind corner beside the entrance, secretly observing what happened outside where no one could see. .

Mei Berry happened to be able to see her parents standing at the door, looking at them as if they were talking to someone.

And the mule cub grazing in the "stable" next to the entrance, because of its superior "geographical location", snorted from time to time when he heard the whole process, and finally couldn't help but roll his eyes.

【Sycophant~】

Hearing the mule cub's disgusting comments, Mei Berry almost laughed out loud.

She was very curious who her parents were talking to at the door to make the mule cub so speechless.

It's just that where she was standing, she could only see her father smiling all over his face, holding a small sling of copper coins and quietly stuffing it somewhere outside the door.

Although she didn't see anyone, Mei Berry heard the voice to some extent.

"It's early in the morning, please bring your brother to the door. The two of us have just returned to our hometown, so we didn't expect to encounter this.

Thanks to everyone's discernment, the people are innocent. It's raining today, so I'll give you some hot tea money. "

There was a crisp clinking sound of copper coins outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Mei Berry heard that Detective Wang who was called by her father spoke very briskly, and he said: "It's okay, this is what we should do. The wind in the city is relatively tight these days, there is no need to walk around casually, Understand?"

"Understand, understand, we understand this naturally."

Mei Berry watched her father standing at the door smiling and looking towards the entrance of the alley. After a while, her father turned around and closed the door with a straight face, as if someone owed him money.

"What happened?"

"Zhizhou is dead. The whole city is arresting documents and searching for suspicious persons. In the past few days, even the gates of the city have been under martial law. It seems that they only give in but not give out."

"what?"

Mei Berry was also taken aback by this battle.

"When did it happen?"

"I heard that it was last night when the body was hardened when people found it."

"Then what are you searching for at this time?"

When Mei Berry heard the time of death, she was speechless, "Last night was not a curfew, many people left the city and went down the mountain overnight... If I..."

While talking, Mei Berry suddenly covered her mouth.

Even if she didn't say what she said later, everyone knew it clearly.

And Wei Meiliang also said to those arresters who made such a big noise, "I'm used to putting on a show, such a show, I'm afraid there are big people coming over behind, and performance, there is no credit but hard work."

"The low-level officials like them have made such futile work with complaints, and they don't know what it will be like in the end."

Mei Berry sighed, the official struggle seems to be far away from their family, but it is very uncomfortable to be involved suddenly like today.

Besides, this happened just after they moved here, so it's somewhat of a bad idea.

***
Jinghu Pass, an abandoned wharf somewhere on the Jinlan River.

A group of people were wearing coir raincoats, carrying everything onto the boat in a hurry.

"If you move it up, cover it with an oilcloth quickly. If it gets wet, just spread it out to dry in time when you go back!"

Gu Pinglu was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, directing people to carry all the grain they bought this time onto the boat.

During the period, he also played in person several times, carrying several sacks of food onto the boat.

Occasionally, the wind from the river would be strong, blowing so wickedly that it would directly go over the bamboo hat and muddy Gu Pinglu's face with water.

Gu Pinglu didn't have time to wipe the water from his face, and after helping to carry the food, he looked up at the high mountain in front of him again, and then his eyes fell on Jinghu Pass in the distance, his eyes flickered, and others saw it. I don't know what he is thinking.

"Sir!"

His subordinates rode horses and came galloping from a distance with whips, and Gu Pinglu immediately went up to meet them as soon as he arrived at the pier.

"Fifth, what's the matter?"

Gu Pinglu went down the mountain last night, and rested in an inn at the foot of the mountain with some of his subordinates. Unexpectedly, before dawn, a sharp arrow shot into their room.

It was not found out who did it, and there was no trace engraved on the arrow, so it was impossible to tell who it was.

It's just that this arrow carried a letter on it, which read "Your whereabouts have been revealed, leave quickly."

So, out of vigilance, they just opened the Jinghu Pass this morning, and a group of people rode away.

Fortunately, the purchased food has been delivered here one step earlier.

Seeing that all the food was loaded onto the ship in an orderly manner, Gu Pinglu was worried, so he sent someone back to investigate.

"Jinghu Pass has been closed. The people over there can't get through, but those here can pass through. That means they are not allowed to leave for three days, so I haven't passed the pass."

The old soldier named Lao Wu frowned after Gu Pinglu finished speaking, he had already noticed something was wrong.

Could it be that such a big move was really due to his being exposed?

Immediately afterwards, he heard Lao Wu say: "But I pretended to be a farmer nearby who was buying vegetables and went to ask the soldiers guarding the gate. They told me that a senior official above died, and they were just following orders to prevent the criminals from escaping."

"Officer?"

Gu Pinglu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the majestic Xianyun Mountain.

I haven't received any news recently that any high-ranking official has come, it can only be an official in the prefecture.

He thought for a while about the prominent people in the prefecture, and said: "Except for the prefect who is a related family Wang Qilun, the other high-ranking officials are all from poor families. If someone else died, Wang Qilun would not mess with it." Make such a movement.

The one who made such a big move is probably not the death of Wang Qilun himself. "

After Gu Pinglu finished guessing, a look of joy flashed across his face: "If Wang Qilun, the bastard, is really dead, it would be really gratifying!"

Gu Pinglu still remembered that when he was brought back to Yanzhou by his father last year, he also passed by here, and what did he hear?
The water bandits on the Jinlan River have been arrested and will be killed soon.

At that time, he just listened to it one more time, but suddenly discovered the origin of this "water bandit".

Does he know if there are any water bandits on this river?
That Wang Qilun was King Qi's running dog, who swallowed the army's salary privately. As the magistrate of Yunzhou, Wang Qilun transported those things to Hanzhou through Jinghu Pass for the convenience of King Qi's caravan.

When the matter came to light, King Qi silenced and threw away the body in front, while Wang Qilun found reasons to cover up what he had done behind.

They arrested a few ordinary people who came to Yunzhou from Xianyao to beg for a living, tortured them into tricks, and finally used the lives of those poor people to whitewash the peace.

If King Qi hadn't cleaned up the follow-up too cleanly without leaving any evidence, Gu Pinglu would have exposed this matter long ago.

"Go back first, wait for the limelight to pass before sending someone over to find out the news."

Gu Pinglu held back his curiosity, turned his gaze away and turned around to take everyone away by boat.

Before leaving, he stood at the bow of the boat and couldn't help but look up at the mountain. He couldn't help worrying about Meiyou who lived in Fucheng...
