After Yan Ruoli left with Gao Liu'er, Mrs. Gao happily weighed the five taels of silver and was about to stuff it into her sleeves.
Suddenly feeling a bit chilly on her back, she turned around suddenly and found her two sons standing behind her, looking at the silver in her hand.
"Mom, now that you have money, you should buy coffins for dad and grandma."
Mrs. Gao had no intention of buying a coffin. She wanted to keep the five taels of silver for her private house. With her two sons staring at her, she had no choice but to put on a sad look and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to buy it, it's just that I don't have enough money. "
"If it's not enough, just make up for it. We already have five taels of silver, don't we?"
"Child, we are in exile. Do you know how much money it will cost along the way?"
"Are we going to let my father and grandma die in the wilderness? Don't we want them to be buried in peace?"
Mrs. Gao was being bullied by her two sons, so she pretended to wipe away her tears and said, "Son, mother, this is all for you. Dad and grandma are underground, and they definitely hope that you can make it to Nanzhou alive, right?"
Both sons were silent.
Several concubines and concubines heard the conversation here and swarmed around.
"This silver was obtained from selling Gao Liu'er. Anyone who sees it will have a share, and we will also have a share."
"Yes, Gao Liu'er is my father's adopted daughter, not yours. You can't keep it to yourself."
"We are all exiled prisoners. No one is nobler than the other. Don't think about suppressing us with your status as a head wife."
……
Mrs. Gao was surrounded in the middle and couldn't struggle to get away.The two sons are still underage, and the three of them are weak.
Mrs. Gao had no choice but to hold up the silver and shouted: "This silver is used to buy a coffin. Sir You, we want to buy a coffin."
You Yong heard this and walked towards this side.
When the concubines and concubines who surrounded Mrs. Gao saw this, they had no choice but to retreat.
Mrs. Gao's hair was disheveled, she pulled up her torn clothes and said, "Sir You, we want to buy a coffin, can we just buy one?"
You Yong wanted to curse.
The breadwinner of the family is dead, and you can’t even part with a coffin?
Gao's eldest son Sisi Aiai asked: "Sir You, our family can only afford one coffin. Can my father and my grandmother be buried in the same coffin?"
You Yong wanted to curse even more.
He took the 20 taels of silver and asked the officials to carry away the bodies of Gao Sheng and Liu with a dark face.
The widower from the nearby county government had already come to do an autopsy.Although Wu Zuo had doubts in his heart and felt that it was not like he had been poisoned by poisonous mushrooms, but rather like he had been poisoned by arsenic, he said nothing.
The exiled officials in the capital, and the high-ranking officials around the emperor, are in deep water here, so just leave them alone.
Since Mr. You said he died from eating poisonous mushrooms, they must have been poisoned by mushrooms.
Mrs. Gao lost 15 taels of silver and almost hit her head on the ground with regret.
If I had known better, I wouldn't have accepted the five taels of silver and just given Gao Liu'er to Yan Ruoli.
Without those five taels of silver, she refused to buy a coffin. What could these people do to her?
You Yong followed several officials, and when he was far away from his place of residence, he suddenly said: "Don't buy a coffin, just wrap it up in two rotten straw mats and bury it."
Several officials looked at him in surprise. Are dead people greedy for money?
You Yong pointed to the sky and said: "This is God's will, haven't you noticed? These two people don't deal with the Ye family, so they will be poisoned to death if they chew a mushroom in the middle of the night. God won't let them live well, we can't go against God's will, we can't Let them lie in the coffin and be buried properly.”
Several officials had no objections and gave the two men a hasty burial.
If you follow God's will, you can still save 20 taels of silver, so why not?
Because of these two people, the team was delayed for most of the morning before starting again.
Gao Liu'er changed into clean clothes and sat on the bullock cart with the four members of the Ye family.
The Gao family followed behind with heavy steps, looking up at her.
How come this girl who has always been bullied, oppressed and stepped on by them has become taller overnight and needs them to look up to her?
The next three days were uneventful, nothing major happened, and the trip went smoothly.
On this day, two uninvited guests came to the place where the exile team had camped three days ago.
"There are no traces. How could they suddenly lose information?"
"Go to the county seat and ask around."
The two came to the county town and heard people in the county town talking about the deaths of people in the past few days.
The two of them randomly found a tea shop, threw a piece of broken silver to the waiter, and asked him what was going on.
The waiter got the money, smiled brightly, added fuel to the fire, and told vividly: "That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was a strong wind blowing in the mountains. Suddenly..."
"Stop." The uninvited guest slapped the table to stop, "To get to the point, how many people died? How did they die?"
The waiter was frightened and answered succinctly: "I heard that two people died, a mother and her son, who died from eating poisonous mushrooms."
"The identity of the dead man?"
"I don't know. I just know that he is a high-ranking official from the capital and was exiled to Nanzhou."
The two uninvited guests left the teahouse and went to find a few more people to inquire.
The results of inquiring were similar: the mother and son were killed, poisoned by mushrooms.
As for the identity of the deceased, most people only knew that he was a senior official in the capital.A small number of people did mention their names, but they all said different things.
Some say it is Liu Sheng and his mother, while others say it is the mother and son of the Marquis of Jingxi.
The two discussed for a few words and continued tracking.
On the second day, the two finally caught up with the exile team and followed from a distance to check.
I saw You Yong riding a horse at the front, with officers escorting a group of prisoners behind him.
All the prisoners were disheveled and it was difficult to tell who was who. I could only barely tell whether they were male, female, old or young.
"Is Gao Sheng inside?"
"I can't tell, that person looks a bit like him."
"There is no paralyzed person in the team, and Ye Weiyun is not among them. It seems that it is he and Mrs. Jingxihou who died."
"There seems to be someone in front, let's go over and take a look."
The two of them hid their whereabouts and walked around to the front of the team.
Not far ahead, I saw an ox cart moving forward.There were five people sitting on the bullock cart, all wearing straw hats and cloth clothes.
"The clothes are so clean. He doesn't look like a prisoner. He should be a common person nearby."
"Should we go to the county government office again and ask?"
"No, doing this will leave clues. We have seen it with our own eyes. Ye Weiyun is not inside. He must be dead. As long as we know this, it is enough."
"Okay, let's go back and take orders."
The two turned back and left.
Shortly after the two left, Ye Weiyun, who was sitting on the bullock cart, turned back and looked in the direction they left.
"What's wrong?" Yan Ruoli asked.
Ye Weiyun's lips curled into a sneer: "Two clowns."
Count them lucky, if they didn't leave and dared to assassinate him, he wouldn't mind leaving their lives.
Yan Ruoli knew what he was referring to and breathed a sigh of relief.
The two people brought back wrong news, and they had passed the current level.
Now, the most important thing is to heal Ye Weiyun's leg and improve his strength.
Yan Ruoli closed her eyes and fell asleep, her thoughts entering the space.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen the merit points in the past few days.With so many things happening, will the merit value change?
Suddenly feeling a bit chilly on her back, she turned around suddenly and found her two sons standing behind her, looking at the silver in her hand.
"Mom, now that you have money, you should buy coffins for dad and grandma."
