Chapter 868 Too Many People
Dongming Ziyu's expression froze, and he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shangguan Ruoli immediately thought of the zombie puppet when he heard it, and narrowed his eyes, "Is it a corpse? Or is there a Gu worm in the corpse?"

Bai Qingyan frowned into a knot, "No, it's because there are too many people who come to identify the corpse. We just posted the notice, and more than a dozen families came to identify the corpse."

Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli looked at each other, their expressions became more serious.

This shows that there are many missing people in the area.

Dongming Ziyu asked, "Who did those people lose, and when did they lose them?"

Bai Qingyan said solemnly: "They are all young adults aged 35 to [-], and most of them were arrested four years ago when Linzhou had a plague. They said they had the plague and sent them to Linzhou for isolation. None of them came back. There are also those who have disappeared intermittently over the years, and the reasons for their disappearances are various.”

Shangguan Ruoli frowned and said, "A lot of people died in the Linzhou plague, but they were all brought under control in the end. It's impossible that no one came back."

They knew the Linzhou plague situation best. People from the Yunxia Palace practiced Gu cave and polluted the water source. It was finally brought under control, and many people recovered and returned home.

Bai Qingyan said: "The family members of the missing people think so too, and some went to Linzhou to look for them, but of course they couldn't find them. Although they thought they were dead, many people didn't see the bodies of their relatives, and they still thought they would come back one day .”

Dongming Ziyu frowned and said, "Register the names, ages, time, location and reasons of those missing persons."

When he came to Linzhou to fight the plague three years ago, the relief food and money distributed were all registered with their real names. When the time came, they would dig out the old account books and check to see if those people had been sent to Linzhou.

Shangguan Ruoli was sure that those people were not sent to Linzhou, "The epidemic in Fanjun and Yuejun was not serious at that time, so it is impossible for so many people to be infected by the plague. It is also impossible for all young and strong men to be infected with the plague. It is estimated that either the recruited men became private soldiers, or they were refined into Gu people or zombie puppets."

This is King Qin's territory, Dongming Ziyu certainly thought of this, but some things need evidence, King Qin is dead, but private soldiers are still being raised by others, I'm afraid there are some unruly people behind.

Could it be that King Qin is not dead yet?King Qin who returned to Beijing was originally a substitute?

Seeing him frowning and contemplating, Shangguan Ruoli tugged his sleeve and said coquettishly: "Okay, don't think about it, all the ghosts and monsters will have nowhere to hide under the bright sun and moon."

"Ah!" Sassoon let out a scream of surprise, "Look, everyone, take a look!"

Shangguan Ruoli looked over and saw a bead in her hand, "This is from the oyster shell."

Ling Yao ran over in surprise, took a look at the pearl in her hand, her little face was instantly tangled up, and she pinched it for Shangguan Ruoli to see, "Mother Concubine, this flat, dull look, Is it a pearl?"

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "This is really a pearl, but the quality of this pearl is not good."

Ling Yao was a little disappointed, "Why don't you find someone to round it and make it into pearl flowers?"

Shangguan Ruoli patted her head and said, "You who are determined to study medicine, why did you forget? Pearls can be ground into powder and used as medicine, and can also be mixed with eggs to apply on the face for whitening, and can also be made into talcum powder to treat prickly heat."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ling Yao clapped her little hands, and then felt a little ashamed that she didn't even know this.

Dongming Ziyu couldn't bear to let his precious daughter feel bad, pinched her little face, and said softly: "Yaoer is still young, she will gradually understand these things in the future, do you know the efficacy of pearls now?"

Ling Yao's eyes lit up again, she nodded, "I got it! Then let's find more!"

In the evening, they also pried open a lot of sea oysters. Although they only got less than five, Ling Yao was already very satisfied.

Shangguan Ruoli felt that this was also a business opportunity, and if someone found the pearl later, she could pay some money to buy it.Anyway, no matter what the quality is, she is useful.

After making up his mind, he said to Xiao Fei: "Starting tomorrow, let the shop in Plum Blossom Pavilion buy pearls. Both are of good quality and bad, and each has its own uses."

Grinding into powder to make facial mask and talcum powder, women and children have been the best money earners since ancient times.

Xiao Fei said impatiently: "Okay, okay, how much money can this make? Plum Blossom Pavilion doesn't make money by doing business and opening shops. If it accumulates wealth like ants move house like this, Plum Blossom Pavilion will be disbanded long ago."

Shangguan Ruoli touched his nose embarrassingly, and said forcefully: "You have to be serious about how you look, so that it looks more real. Who thinks the money is too little?"

Seeing Xiao Fei's staring eyes, and wanting to teach Shangguan Ruoli a lesson, Dongming Ziyu hurriedly said: "The preparations are not too bad, Li'er, tell the cooks how to do it, let's open a unique one in Yue County first." Seafood restaurant."

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Good idea! Husband, you have a brain for making money!"

Dongming Ziyu pursed his lips and smiled, "That's natural."

Xiao Fei's eyes also brightened, "I want to open a high-end seafood restaurant at the pier!"

At that time, each private room will have a mezzanine, and eavesdropping spies will be placed in the mezzanine to collect information.

Shangguan Ruoli suddenly felt that the responsibility was heavy, and he had to do the key link by himself, so that the chefs could see it clearly, and save the trouble of going back and teaching.

When everyone saw that Shangguan Ruoli was going to cook for himself, everyone looked forward to it, and Xiao Fei and Ling Yao couldn't help but suck their saliva.

"Mother Concubine, what are you going to do delicious for Yao'er?" Ling Yao wanted to follow into the kitchen.

"Seafood banquet! You wait outside obediently with your great-grandfather, it's dangerous in the kitchen." Shangguan Ruoli handed Ling Yao over to Old Man Xiao, an old boy, to watch over.

Dongming Ziyu didn't go into the kitchen, and told Zhuyue to take good care of Shangguan Ruoli, then turned back to the study to discuss matters with his subordinates.

Although no one in the capital dared to feast and dance wildly because the first emperor was still in the new mourning period, there were still some walks and parties that should be held during the Chinese New Year.

No, Bai Qingqing accepted the invitation of Duke Dingguo's mansion to go back to her "natal home" for a small gathering.

This Dingguo Duke's mansion is now the eldest brother Zheng Junting, who inherited the title and became Dingguo Duke. Because of Ding Guogong's martyrdom and grievances, the previous emperor did not allow this generation to descend to the title.

Bai Qingqing and Zheng Shuyue took their children to play in the snow in the plum blossom forest, and helped build a few big snowmen.

"Hey, are you here to admire the plum blossoms?" A shrill voice came.

Bai Qingqing and Zheng Shuyue looked at each other and frowned.

I saw a lady wearing a pink satin cloak walking over with a few maids and mother-in-law.The white fox fur inlaid on the collar of the cloak makes her even more graceful and luxurious.

This is the wife of Ding Guogong's second brother, and their second sister-in-law He Shi, who is a vicious, mercenary, and vicious master.

"Meet Princess Jinyang!" Mrs. He greeted Zheng Shuyue first.

Zheng Shuyue doesn't like her, and doesn't bother to deal with her, "Excuse me, are you looking for something with us?"
