ten mile river moon

Chapter 7 To Ye Shuicheng

In the dead of night, almost every household had already fallen asleep, and Ye Ling went directly over the wall from the backyard of the yamen.Maybe God cooperated, the sky is cloudy tonight, the moon is covered by clouds, and the earth is pitch black.

The so-called dark moon and windy night, killing people and setting fire to the sky, ah bah, it’s a dark moon and windy night, it’s not right to catch rape in bed, anyway, such a time is very suitable for catching bad guys, Liu Chengyue looked at the moon in the sky that was blocked by dizziness thinking.

Soon, Yeling came back over the wall with a person in one hand.Seeing this, Liu Chengyue hurriedly took him to the lobby of the yamen in the front yard. The yamen was not built because there was not enough space, and the small village might not be able to use cells for decades.Once there are important criminals, they are usually escorted to Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Seeing Yeling throwing the two of them on the ground like throwing trash, Liu Chengyue looked at her thin arms and thought deeply, why is the gap so big when they are both men?

The two people who were thrown on the ground probably woke up in a daze after a while because their butts were blooming.Looking at Liu Chengyue and Ye Ling standing in front of them, they looked at each other, "Your Excellency, you have something to say, my brother and I are only here for money, if there is any problem, I will tell you everything!"

Taking a look at Yeling, Liu Chengyue thought to herself, be good!I just like sensible people like you!

Liu Chengyue started asking about the corpse, and just started, the two of them told everything they knew like peas in a bamboo tube.

As for the corpse that drifted downstream, the two of them didn't know the reason, but it was certain that it had something to do with the benefactor behind it.The two brothers did escape from the famine in the south. At the beginning, the two brothers only plowed a few acres of land with the help of the villagers to ensure that they would not starve to death.

However, a year later, the eldest brother Wang Long started the wood business.Not long after the business started, someone came to the door, claiming that he was the shopkeeper of Yongshou Coffin Shop in Ye Shuicheng, and hoped that the two brothers could provide wood for the coffin shop for a long time.

Not long after the business started, the two were worried about the sales of the timber, when a rich man came to the door, they were very happy, and the two brothers agreed without the shopkeeper saying much.

The two thought that the day of prosperity was not far away, and they escorted the wood to Ye Shui City once. Since it was getting late, the two planned to find an inn to stay in the city, and sent the wood to Yongshou coffin shop early the next morning.This is also the only requirement of the shopkeeper of the coffin shop, no wood will be collected after dark, and only at dawn.

But unfortunately, a poetry meeting was being held in the city at that time, and literati from all over the place gathered together, the inn was full, and the two brothers walked several times in a row without any vacancy.In desperation, Wang Hu proposed to send the wood to the coffin shop to see if the shopkeeper could keep the two of them for one night.

No way, the two went to the coffin shop with the wood.Usually the wood is escorted during the daytime, and there will be pedestrians on the road, so it doesn't feel remote.However, the two brothers went to the coffin shop at night, and there was no one on the road. From time to time, they could see the green eyes of wild cats and dogs, so they felt that the location of the coffin shop was remote, even though they were all big men. , but my heart is still a little panicked.

Just as he was about to retreat and go back the same way, a group of people came in front of them pulling a carriage. On the board was a square coffin, but this coffin was a little different.The shopkeeper who was walking in front of the line was surprised at first when he saw the two brothers, and then he couldn't stop his anger. After the secret was exposed, the two brothers were taken back to the coffin shop by the shopkeeper.

The two of them also knew that they had smashed some major event, so they surrendered without waiting for threats, and finally became the eyes of the coffin shop owner in the border town.Once something unusual happened in the border town, it would be passed on by flying pigeons. There has been no major incident in the border town. The biggest thing is the change of the county magistrate of Tanhua, and the corpse and coffin afterwards.Since the shopkeeper of the coffin shop paid the two a large sum of money every month in addition to the wood money, even if there was no news, the two were faithful in making eyeliner.

After listening to the narration of the two, Liu Chengyue felt that the more they looked at the two, the more they felt useless, so she said why they are so acquainted, the relationship has a criminal record!It is enough for this person to live like this. He is born with cartilage or something. The shopkeeper probably thought that the two of them had no backbone and could not do anything against them, so he asked them to do eyeliner while removing his own. The coffin shop and other things are not allowed to involve the two of them.

After interrogating the two brothers, Liu Chengyue looked at the two who were sweating and begging for mercy on the ground, feeling a little embarrassed.These two people are not guilty of death, but they are the eyeliner of each other. With such embarrassing identities and embarrassing circumstances, it is really difficult to deal with.

The night wind outside was blowing in, Liu Chengyue hugged herself tightly with both hands, and suddenly felt a hard object in her arms. With an idea, she took out the thing in her arms and pulled off the cover, poured out two round pills in her hands, and handed them to the ground. The two of them said solemnly: "This is the famous five poison elixir in the world. It tastes slightly sweet and powerful. If you don't have the antidote, you will pierce the intestines and bleed to death within five days. What I want you to do is very simple. No matter what happens in the border town, contact the shopkeeper as usual, but don’t reveal any information in the letter. Whether you want your life or money, the decision is in your own hands.”

The two of them looked at the pill in Liu Chengyue's hands, and they saw hesitation in each other's eyes. If they took it, their lives would be in the hands of others, and if they didn't take it, they might die immediately.

Seeing the hesitation of the two, Liu Chengyue continued to press, "Of course, you don't have to eat it, but I don't guarantee that you will receive eighteen kinds of punishment and then be quartered by five horses. If you eat it, you can do things well." Well, when you come to the Yamen after that month, someone will give you the antidote."

Wang Long and Wang Hu looked at each other, and slowly took the pill from Liu Chengyue's hand and swallowed it.Liu Chengyue clapped his hands, "Okay, that's it, this medicine melts in the stomach, and the medicine's properties will immediately spread to the limbs and tendons, so don't try to play tricks with the two of you. The officer is going on a long trip tomorrow, you Let's go back, both of you!"

Wang Long, Wang Hu and Wang Long hurried out of the Yamen, and after a while, Liu Chengyue led Ye Ling out.Yeling looked at Liu Chengyue and said hesitantly, "My lord, the five poison pills..."

Liu Chengyue continued to move forward leisurely, "It's nothing like five poison pills, it's just the jelly beans I use to tease children. The two of them look like spineless people. They can't kill or scare the snake, so let them do nothing." How dare you talk nonsense!"

"Then we are going to the two brothers' house now?" Yeling asked with a frown.

Liu Chengyue finally turned her head and took a look at Yeling, "Yes, I told them that I'm going on a long trip tomorrow. As long as they're not stupid, they should be able to guess whether I'm going to Ye Shuicheng, whether I choose to save my life or choose money, and I'll see him later The choice of the two."

Soon, Liu Chengyue and Ye Ling arrived outside the courtyard of Wang Long, Wang Hu, and Wang Long. From the outside of the courtyard, it could be seen that the room was lit with candlelight.Liu Chengyue squatted on the ground and stared at the movement in the room, Yeling looked at Master Liu who was no different from the hooligans squatting on the street during the day, feeling a little speechless in his heart, sir, can we pay attention to our image?Although no one else has seen this point, you are also a parent officer after all!

Until the lights in the house were turned off, the Wang family brothers remained silent.Liu Chengyue and Ye Ling squatted for a while, and returned to the yamen after confirming that there was no movement.

In the study, Liu Chengyue held the emperor's badge, and looked at Captain Ye pitifully, "Captain Ye, can I give you the badge, and then don't go to Ye Shuicheng?"

"What do you think, sir?" Yeling smiled and looked at Liu Chengyue.

"Okay, no." Liu Chengyue frowned, "But, my mother is here, if our actions in Ye Shuicheng are known by the other party, what will my mother do?"

Ye Ling nodded, "It's easy to handle. There are two hidden guards who came with me. Their martial arts skills are definitely not inferior to mine. With them protecting each other, the safety of the Lingtang Lord naturally does not have to worry. Besides, apart from the Wang family The two brothers should no longer have each other's people, as long as the two brothers keep their own place, then there is no need to worry too much. In addition, we can let the hidden guards monitor the two brothers, so the situation will be more beneficial to us."

Hearing this, Liu Chengyue was secretly startled, there are actually hidden guards?I didn't feel the existence of other people from the beginning to the end. Is this the legendary come and go without a trace? !Sure enough, no one in the palace is vegetarian!

Because the things involved in this case are not surprising, and the sooner the case can be solved, the sooner, therefore, Liu Chengyue and Ye Ling decided to leave for Ye Shuicheng the next day to find out.

The next morning, Liu Chengyue woke up early for an unprecedented time. Seeing that her son was so abnormal, Liu's mother couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Chengyue, is it hard to sleep lately or something? Isn't the previous case over? You don't have to." Too worried."

Liu Chengyue looked at the worry in Liu's mother's eyes, and couldn't help but feel warm, "It's okay, mother, I have to go out for a while, and I can't confirm how many days I will go..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu's mother interrupted him, "You are now considered the parent officer of the border town, just do what you have to do, pay more attention to your health, and don't let my mother worry."

Liu Chengyue, who originally thought it was going to be a protracted war, didn't expect Mother Liu to let her go so easily. After hearing these words, she was a little moved, and spent the whole morning chatting with Mother Liu.

After breakfast and saying goodbye to Mother Liu, Liu Chengyue took out the luggage that she had packed last night, explained to Master Ding, and then quietly walked out of the village from the back door of the yamen, bypassing the crowd.When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Yeling leaning against a tree with folded arms, waiting for him.Is this what heroes in novels look like?Liu Chengyue thought secretly.

"Let's go?" Liu Chengyue looked at Ye Ling, then looked behind him, and said in shock, "Let's go on foot?!" Then he broke his leg? !

Yeling looked at Liu Chengyue who looked shocked and sad with eyes like an idiot, and pulled out a horse with shiny black fur from the dense bushes nearby.Liu Chengyue looked at the horse that was taller than her, and the sadness just now was thrown thousands of miles away.

After helping Liu Chengyue get on the horse, Yeling took the rein of the horse and sat behind Liu Chengyue with a stride. With a flick of the rein, the horse ran forward as fast as an arrow off the string.Liu Chengyue, who wanted to say something else, drank the cool breeze, so she had to shut up silently.
