The Unruly Princess: Regent, please hug me

Chapter 1221 Uncle Liang
They both went to bed early that night.And Dongfang Chi is indeed the same as usual, still writing documents in the middle of the night, he is writing down what he sees and thinks every day, this has become his habit, and he has written nine books and put them in his In the bookcase, this is a habit he developed after he came to Pingyuan County as the sheriff.

A-Tong brought water in and saw Dongfang Chi was still writing at his desk. He only lit an oil lamp to save money. A-Tong had to walk carefully so as not to trip over, as the oil lamp can only illuminate a small area.

"My lord, let's take a rest early. Don't worry too much today. The imperial court has sent the empress to come over. If you want to come, the truth will soon come to light in Pingyuan County, and the lives of those common people will not be so hard." A-Tong carefully Putting the tea on the table and a plate of fried rice, Dongfang Chi was surprised and looked at Ah Tong.

"This is a little rice I left in advance. We haven't eaten bacon for fifteen years. I fried the bacon and some salted eggs left over. There is not much rice on this plate. You should eat it quickly, I know You didn't eat much tonight, you can't starve to death, if you starve to death, what about the people in Pingyuan County? Eat quickly!"

A-Tong treats Dongfang Chi like a relative and a master-servant relationship. A-Tong's words moved Dongfang Chi, and he was indeed hungry, so he picked up a spoon and put the fried rice into his mouth without hesitation.

"It seems that this queen is better than I thought. She also gave money. You can cook well for her food here. If you don't have enough money, you can borrow it. You have to let her live well, otherwise it may be Pingyuan County that will suffer in the end. The common people, it doesn’t matter if I’m alone.”

Dongfang Chi didn't care about his own life, but Shen Qiqi's identity was too special after all, and Ah Tong quickly nodded to understand what he meant.

This night, Dongfang Chi's routine was the same as usual. The next day, Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao were waiting for him. After a simple morning, they went out, but it was not Dongfang Chi who accompanied them out. It was Ah Tong.Dongfang Chi needed to go to the government office to work, in case something happened and he needed to deal with it, Ah Tong went out with them with a vegetable basket, saying that he could buy vegetables on the way back.

Shen Qiqi saw that there were things wrapped in cloth in the basket.

Shen Qiqi was walking on the street, the street in the morning was really different from what he saw yesterday afternoon, there were more people, and many vendors were busy yelling and doing business, more people and more dust, Shen Qiqi had been prepared for a long time. She covered her face with a face towel, and through the soft face towel, she could still feel the dust floating in the air.

Qi Zhao also saw that the people here are mainly men, and women, except for the elderly and children, rarely see girls walking among them.

"Princess, it seems that all the girls here should have left or hid at home. There is none. Let's ask a family." Qi Zhao felt an invisible tension in the air. Everyone here seemed to be frightened. Everyone is in a hurry to buy things, and after buying things, he hurried home. It is rare to see anyone chatting with vendors or acquaintances, and everyone has vigilance hidden in their eyes.

Shen Qiqi agreed with Qi Zhao's statement, she also felt that the atmosphere here was very tense, looked around, the expressions of passers-by stung her, even the snacks on the side of the road could not attract her attention, and Qi Zhao was also there He looked around, but the person he was looking at was different from Shen Qiqi. He was looking for someone he was familiar with and looked around twice. He saw a pair of familiar eyes in an inconspicuous corner, and those familiar eyes shot out familiar eyes to him. His eyes made him feel relieved.

"I'll take the two of you there. A girl from a family nearby is missing. Please follow me." After hearing what they said, A-Tong made a gesture of invitation to them, and he led the way.Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao followed Ah Tong forward, they came to a house on the side of the road not long after they walked, this house looked very simple, with a layer of thatch on the roof, but the house was built of bricks It looks like a small place in front of an ordinary house, and there are so few flowers and plants in it, but even in spring, those flowers and plants are all withered, only a little bit of green is still struggling.

"This family's name is Liang, and their daughter disappeared three months ago." A Tong knocked on the door for a long time after she finished speaking. Someone came to the door and opened the door. It was a half-old man with gray hair and beard. Haggard, his eyes were sunken in the eye sockets, he looked at Ah Tong for a long time before he recognized Ah Tong.

"It's me. I'm here to bring you some food. Don't you eat meat these days?" Ah Tong took out something wrapped in cloth from the basket and handed it to the man. Taking the cloth bag in his hand, he turned and went into his room, Ah Tong gave Shen Qiqi a wink, Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao followed him in.It was only later that Shen Qiqi found out that what Ah Tong gave to Uncle Liang was a pack of bacon, and the bacon they were reluctant to eat was given to the common people.

"You can call him Uncle Liang, they only have one daughter." A Tong's words are self-evident that he gave Shen Qiqi to Shen Qiqi in their twenties because their only daughter disappeared in their family.

Uncle Liang called them in. This is also a poor family.In the corner sat a woman with a sad face, who seemed to be the girl's mother.She stared blankly at a certain point, and didn't raise her head when she heard someone coming in. When Uncle Liang saw Ah Tong bringing Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao in, he also cheered up and wanted to clean the chairs for them to sit on, but he had no choice. The chairs at home were too dusty, it was Shen Qiqi who stopped him.

"Uncle Liang, you don't need to wipe it, we won't be tired if we stand." Shen Qiqi saw that the place was almost covered with dust, only the place where the woman sat was cleaner, presumably they didn't clean it usually.However, Shen Qiqi felt even more desolate after they lost their daughter. Presumably, it was their belief in waiting for the missing daughter to return safely, otherwise it was impossible to imagine whether they would go with their daughter too. Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi felt in her heart I felt a surge of grief and indignation.

"No matter who you are, I must make you pay the price for doing such a thing. What you have destroyed is not only an innocent girl, but also her family. What you have done is too abominable."

Shen Qiqi lowered his head and talked to himself, Ah Tong heard it but couldn't hear it clearly, and was about to ask Shen Qiqi what to say, but Uncle Liang had already spoken, his voice seemed to come from far away, with an indescribable of sorrow and sadness.Shen Qiqi had to work hard to hear clearly, after all, this was not a pleasant memory.
