Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 819 Accident
"Excuse me, is Erniu at home?" Wu Youwei looked at the closed wooden door and slapped it, but there was no movement inside, he looked back at Rongyu, and said helplessly, "It seems that there is no one. "

"It's not surprising. The floods in Yu County are serious, and it's not impossible for the people to go out to seek refuge." Rong Yu raised his lips slightly and chuckled.

However, as soon as these words were said, there was a sound of porcelain falling to the ground in the room.Wu Youwei couldn't help frowning, was there someone inside?But why won't you open the door?
Thinking of his old mother's stick when he went home before, he immediately understood that he might have regarded himself and Rong Yu as gangsters, and he couldn't help smiling wryly, when did this official uniform become a burden.

He took a deep breath and shouted inside with the loudest voice, "Er Niu, I know you are at home. I am Wu Youwei! I'm back!"

"Wu Youwei?" The middle-aged man inside who was holding a hoe was startled, then put down the hoe, lay on the crack of the door, and looked out cautiously. When he saw the face of the man standing outside, he couldn't help showing surprise , made a relaxing gesture to his nervous wife and children behind him, and then opened the door, "Brother Youwei, why is it you, aren't you a high-ranking official in Beijing?"

"The emperor learned that Yu County was hit by a disaster, so he specially sent me back to help the people." Wu Youwei was very grateful to Xia Zijin for sending him down. Looking at the timid women, children and children behind him, he did not forget to give Xia Zijin a boost.After all, if something like this happened, the people in the village might think that the emperor had given up on them.

Er Niu is the nickname of the boss of the Liu family, and his real name is Shan.When Liu Shan heard his words, he was obviously stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, his lips trembling uncontrollably, "You... what you said is true? The emperor really sent someone to rescue us ?”

"Yes." Wu Youwei helped him to walk in, while introducing Rong Yu, "This is the son of King Rong of the current dynasty, and this time he came here to help the disaster under the order of the emperor."

"Er Niu, I have something to ask you, and you have to tell the truth." Wu Youwei's expression became serious, "I went home earlier, and my mother said that someone pretended to be someone from the imperial court to take advantage of the fire. This matter?"

"Oh, what a crime!" Seeing him mentioning this, Liu Shan couldn't help wiping away tears, "Aunt Wu is right, there is indeed such a thing, those people who have no conscience are really vicious, and the surplus food in this village is all taken away." They stole it."

Wu Youwei frowned, "Didn't you report to the officials? Why didn't the county magistrate send someone to arrest that group?"

"Bah!" It's fine if you don't mention this matter, but when this matter is mentioned, Liu Shan shows a sneer on his face, "Report to the official? Why didn't you go, but the county magistrate Zhao didn't care about it at all, instead he went to the front to report it The officials were later found by that group of people, and no one was left alive."

When he said this, a look of fear appeared on his face, and his tall body trembled involuntarily.

Rong Yu's face was so dark that it was almost dripping ink. He held on to the twisted gold thread pattern embroidered on his cuff, and clenched his teeth. He thought that this group of people was just robbing, but he didn't expect that they would dare to kill people. They were still so cruel Even women and children are not spared.

Wu Youwei's expression was no better than his, on the contrary, it was even uglier. You must know that all the people in this village are his relatives and friends.

He turned his head and glanced at Rong Yu, with the same dignified expression, and looked at each other, temporarily suppressing the anger in his heart, but the smile on the corner of his lips was so cold that he could almost freeze to death, "Er Niu, I know about this, don't worry, We are here this time to provide disaster relief, and we will definitely eliminate this group of thugs."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Liu Shan had great expectations in his eyes.

Then, as if he remembered something, he quickly pulled his wife and children to salute Wu Youwei and Rongyu, "Caomin has seen the two adults."

"Get up." Rong Yu nodded lightly, then turned to look at Wu Youwei, "Master Wu, come with me, I have something for you to do."

Wu Youwei hurriedly followed, leaving Liu Shan and the others to look at each other. Fortunately, after a while, Liu Shan came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered his wife to pour tea for Wu Youwei and Rongyu. After serving the tea, the woman He pulled the door and exited.

Rong Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, his brows furrowed. The tea leaves were old and rough in taste, and he felt like grinding his teeth in the mouth, but in the end, he swallowed them abruptly. Ordinary people, most of them don't drink tea. This family has been hiding for a long time.

Seeing him frowning, Wu Youwei couldn't help laughing, "My lord, this is already the best thing in Erniu's family."

"My son knows. Master Wu, this son wants you to go to the county magistrate of Yu County to watch him, and you don't have to do anything else. It's best to make him think that you are a good-for-nothing who only knows how to ask for flowers." Rong Yu bent his fingers slightly, There was one on the table that was tilted up and down, looking at him with a half-smile.

Wu Youwei opened his mouth wide in surprise, and looked at him with puzzled eyes, "This...why is this?"

"You heard what you, a fellow, said earlier. This son suspects that the bandits and the magistrate of Yu County are colluding with each other." When Rong Yu said this, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Wu Youwei just wanted to refute, but when he met his eyes, he was speechless for a moment. In his heart, he actually felt that what he said was right.

If the county magistrate of Yu County hadn't colluded with those gangsters, how could those people know that someone was suing them, and so accurately find the complaining villager and kill him.

"Bastard!" Wu Youwei couldn't help cursing angrily, and punched the table with his fist, "How dare he do that!"

"Master Wu, you have to investigate this matter, but you have to pretend to be a little bit, so that he won't find out." Rong Yu's lips curled up into a treacherous smile.

Wu Youwei's heart trembled when he saw it, and he quickly nodded in response.

It was already three days later when Xia Zijin received the news. She looked at the letter in her hand, her eyes spit fire. She never thought that a flood could cause so many things.

However, there was no letter sent back for several days after that. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she specially sent spies to Jiangnan to inquire about it. However, the spies came back and said that the Jiangnan area didn't even know that she had sent someone to help the disaster.

She believed that Rong Yu and Wu Youwei would not rush into such a big event. Logically, even if they didn't catch the gangsters in a short time, news should come back by now.

What's more, when Wu Youwei went there, he even sent some guards to protect him secretly. If something happened to them while they were suppressing the bandits, it shouldn't be that no news came back.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, her doubts were resolved. Looking at the memorial in her hand, Xia Zijin shook her palm, and her eyes flicked over Fang Zhou, "Where did you get this news?"

"Back to the emperor, I once had a confidante in the south of the Yangtze River, and she secretly sent the news." Fang Zhou's expression was a little unnatural.

Xia Zijin didn't get to the bottom of it, everyone has their own secrets, as long as Fang Zhou is loyal to Da Lai, she doesn't need to get to the bottom of it.

If things were really as stated in the memorial, she would have to go there to investigate in person.But only if the above news is true.It's just that Liang Guo didn't expect Liang Guo to act so early.A smoldering look flashed across Xia Zijin's eyes.As for the confidante that Fang Zhou talked about, I'm afraid it should be the concubine of a certain official.

Otherwise, how could she hear such confidential news.

I have to say that this time, Xia Zijin guessed right.It turned out that after Wu Youwei went to see Zhao Youde, the county magistrate of Yu County, he was arranged to live there.

At first, he pretended to be a fool, as Rong Yu ordered, but within three days, he was suddenly fascinated, and when he woke up, he had already been locked up.

Wu Youwei was naturally taken aback. Seeing Zhao Youde walking into the dungeon from the outside, he still insisted on asking him what he wanted to do. Who knew that Zhao Youde opened his mouth and asked him about Rongyu's whereabouts. Only then did he know that the villager in Yu County had been there for a long time. So he installed spies.

And he was told verbatim about his conversation with Rongyu that day.So Zhao Youde knew from the very beginning that he was making that ridiculous appearance on purpose.

What made Wu Youwei even more unbelievable was that the person who reported him was Liu Shan.He stayed in the dungeon for several days and couldn't figure out why Liu Shan did this.

As for the whereabouts of Rong Yu, after he talked with Rong Yu that day, the two separated, so he didn't know where Rong Yu was, but when Rong Yu left, he took all the guards away. Layer, settle down a bit.

But before he was safe for a few days, a figure was brought in, Wu Youwei's eyelids twitched, and the uneasiness in his heart spread like a mist. After a long time, he caught his breath and looked intently. My canthus is about to split.

The person who was brought in was Rong Yu, but the situation was much more tragic than him, covered in blood, the cell door was opened, and Rong Yu was thrown in directly.

For a moment, Wu Youwei only felt that he was in hell, his hands and feet were cold, he stepped forward tremblingly, sniffed Rong Yu's breath, made sure that he was still alive, and then heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at the slowly walking in with red eyes. Zhao Youde gritted his teeth, "Zhao Youde, if you act like this, aren't you afraid that the emperor will kill you all over the house?"

"Chop all over the house?" Zhao Youde looked at him like an idiot, "Master Wu, you must have forgotten that this Wei County is high and the emperor is far away, and there are refugees making trouble. The two of you came to rescue the disaster in an accident and unfortunately died. Even the disaster relief money was robbed by bandits, when the time comes, who can blame me?"

"Speaking of which, it's still not good for you two to handle affairs. You have lost the trust of the emperor." Zhao Youde looked at him like a poisonous snake with a pair of triangular eyes.

Wu Youwei was cold all over, never thought that he would dare to do this, his lips were trembling and he couldn't speak, but his body was protecting Rong Yu in a defensive posture.

Since Zhao Youde locked him up, he naturally wouldn't kill him in a short time, so when he saw Wu Youwei's action, he just sneered and turned to leave.
