Chapter 662

Mingshu listened to it for a long time, and the crops in the village were dying due to serious pest infestation.

This is not a place, the nearby villages are like this, and everyone's harvest is not very good.

In this era, the yield of crops is already low, and it has been reduced by another layer due to pests.

All the villagers complained, but there was nothing to do, the pests were hard to guard against, even if they stayed in the field, there was nothing they could do.

This matter has nothing to do with Mingshu, she patted her ass and left after eating.

Returning to the Liu Mansion, I found that the Liu Mansion was also discussing pest infestations.

Pests are not a big problem in modern times, but they are indeed a fatal problem now, and this year it seems that the problem is quite big.

Many of the land in Yunli Village belonged to the Liu Mansion, and these villagers only planted it for the Liu Mansion, so it was the Liu Mansion who suffered the most.

For the next two days, almost everyone in the village was discussing the pest infestation.

Mingshu squatted on the ridge of the field, propped his chin and watched Qin Ling tinkering on the ground, "If you grab it like this, you won't have it again tomorrow? It's a waste of time, why not cook for me."

"The food is the guarantee of life for next year, how can we ignore it?" Qin Ling replied: "Second girl, you go back first, I will come back when I finish."

Mingshu held a locust, "Is this edible?"

Qin Ling turned her head to look at Mingshu, and said after a while, "It's edible, but it shouldn't be very tasty."

Modern times can still make delicious tastes, but here... I guess there is nothing delicious.

Mingshu just asked casually, she didn't intend to eat bugs, she had chicken legs to eat, why would she eat such things.

Mingshu threw away the locusts and said, "I can afford you, even if there is no harvest, you won't go hungry."

"puff--"

Qin Ling came out from the field, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Second Miss, what you said is so misleading. Although we are all women, you should pay attention to what you say. Oh no."

If she hadn't figured out why she followed her so much in the past few days, Qin Ling would have felt that she liked her.

"What are you afraid of, you can pass on me as a man?" Mingshu didn't care.

Qin Ling couldn't help laughing. She walked to the ridge, sat down to rest, and chatted with Mingshu for a while.

"These insects are called locusts, and they have a strong reproductive ability. If they are allowed to go on like this, they will eat up the crops sooner or later." Qin Ling was worried.

She's actually not good at growing crops, but seeing Qin's father and Qin's mother like that, she has to think of a way.

Mingshu listened absently to Qin Ling's chatter.

When are you going back to cook?
What are you doing for me today?
"what!"

Suddenly there was a scream not far away, and the people in the field looked over there one after another.

"What happened?" Qin Ling also stood up.

I saw a man stumbled out from the ground, shouting, "Dead, dead!!"

dead? !
-
The one who died was the daughter-in-law of Liu San's family in the village, the woman who identified Liu Xinyue in the ancestral hall.

Mingshu stood outside and took a look. The dead body was covered with a layer of grass, and many locusts stayed on it, and half of his body was stuck in the mud.

Liu Xinyue shouldn't be so bold, just kill someone directly, right? !
The death of such a big thing, the villagers ran to report to the officials.

The officers and soldiers came in mighty force, and drove away the villagers who were onlookers at the scene, and all of them were driven to the side of the field ridge.

"Which bastard did it, don't let me know... Damn child, you died so badly! Officer, you have to decide for us..." Liu San, as a family member, cursed and cried at the scene.

The officers and soldiers had already pulled the corpse out of the field and carried it to the road.

The county magistrate has a big belly, and he usually sees that he is full of official authority, but today he followed a young son cautiously.

The young man is about 24 years old, dressed in white, wearing a jade crown, with a gorgeous temperament, he looks very human at first glance.

He was born even more charmingly, like those aristocratic sons who came out of dramas, their gestures were dignified, but with a bit of a naughty smile on their faces, they were full of playboys.

"Who is that? It's so beautiful..."

"Seeing that the county magistrate is so careful to accompany him, he must be a noble person."

"I haven't seen a county magistrate so cautious. How old is this man?"

The villagers discussed in whispers, guessing the identity of the young master.

The young man didn't go down, and stood casually more than ten meters away from the corpse, he didn't know whether to sigh or laugh, "It's strange that people can still die in this place."

County magistrate: "..."

The county magistrate coughed and raised his voice to ask the officer over there, "What's going on?"

"My lord." One of the officials ran over, "Young Master Cheng."

The young man folded his arms and didn't respond.

The official officer knew that the person in front of him was a strong person, and he was unwilling to talk to him, so he continued to answer the county magistrate's question, "The deceased was from Yunli Village, and that was her husband. The deceased was strangled to death and thrown in the field. The villagers found it while working. , except for the dead body, no other suspicious things were found at the scene."

There was a person standing next to him. The county magistrate didn't dare to be stupid, and wiped off his cold sweat secretly, "Who was the last one to see the deceased?"

"It's the deceased's husband, Liu San." The officer replied, "Last night Liu San and a few people from the same village went hunting in the mountains, and the deceased sent him off when they left. No one in the village has seen the deceased since then."

The magistrate asked a few more questions, but to no avail.

The county magistrate asked all the villagers in the village to be questioned, and Mingshu was no exception, but she didn't know the deceased well, so she didn't say anything.

"The second girl of the Liu family, come here." The county magistrate suddenly waved at Mingshu. If the person next to him hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have recognized that it was the second girl of the Liu family.

Looks really iconic...

The villagers all looked at Mingshu.

Mingshu was taken aback for a moment, with shallow ripples in his eyes, and then slowly swayed over with a grass in his mouth.

When passing the corpse in the past, Mingshu didn't look sideways, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, walking very steadily.

"Is something wrong?"

She looked at the young man opposite, and then looked away.

The county magistrate said: "The second girl of the Liu family, this is from the capital... Mr. Cheng, he is going to the Liu residence, can you please guide me?"

Ming Shu smiled before saying a word, his eyebrows and eyes curved like a crescent moon, "The one with the most grandeur and luxury is the one, there is nothing to lead the way."

How could anyone dare to speak like that in front of him, the county magistrate was about to get angry, and then remembered the person standing next to him, so he could only say nicely: "Mr. Cheng is here for the first time, and the road in the village is complicated, so I'm afraid it will go astray, the second girl of the Liu family, you Let Mr. Cheng lead the way."

Although he didn't dare to get angry, the words behind him were obviously tougher.

"No." Mingshu refused, with a smile on his face, "I want to see you solve the case."

County magistrate: "..."

What's so nice about a dead man! !
This is from the capital! !
Does this dead girl know the severity? What a blessing it is for someone to go to your Liufu! !

"It's okay, you can go after the end." Cheng Gui stopped the county magistrate.

Mingshu smiled, didn't respond to his words, turned around and walked back to the large group of villagers watching the play.

Everyone has said that, the county magistrate can only say something, he can only curse Ming in his heart, but he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

The Liu Mansion didn't know what kind of virtues the ancestors had accumulated, so the nobles from the capital asked them to find them by name.
