prison song

【Lingtai County】

In the afternoon, Qin Huaizhen jumped out from the door of the inn. He was wearing a lavender jacket with cloth belts on his arms. Yan Qing also came out slowly from the door, brushing off the cotton thread from Qin Huaizhen's shoulders.

The people doing night business all got up one after another last night, and prepared to chop vegetables, smoke, and wine in an orderly manner. The number of pedestrians on the side of the road gradually increased, avoiding the heat of the noon, and walking on the slightly tree-shaded road.

Everything is going on in a leisurely manner, as if nothing happened yesterday, but just turned into a weird snake god in the book, making a fuss after dinner.

Xu's mansion opened the door, and there were a few white-haired old men standing beside the stone lion outside the door. After careful identification, they were the group of people who couldn't run and knelt on the ground to pray yesterday. with beard.

When Qin Huaizhen walked over, he heard a few words: "I just said, the people in our Lingtai County are really getting more and more foul."

"That's right, the old ancestors are all angry, and they don't know what to do."

"Then Huai Lang is also blind, what kind of woman is he looking for?"

"Oh, this has a lot of background. I heard that her family moved in a few years ago. I'm afraid she didn't mess with her lover outside and move in here."

"The two young masters have been waiting for a long time, please come inside." The waiter's voice became louder on purpose.

Qin Huaizhen walked away after hearing the words, brushed past those old men, and did not forget to leave a word.

"The more you talk, the faster you die."

"You!" The old people were ready to retaliate, but they saw Yan Qing draw the sword from behind and slashed in the air, making a muffled sound, his eyes were cold, which made them shudder.

Walking into Xu's mansion, the graceful and luxurious restrained a bit, although the few things that happened recently can be taken away by the girl's uncleanness, but she still has some fears in her heart.

Xu Rongzhou sat in the main hall, and the waiter next to him retreated respectfully with his palm in hand. He frowned and fastened his bandages, and smiled lightly when he saw Qin Huaizhen and the others coming.

"Did you rest well yesterday?"

"Very good." Qin Huaizhen sat on the stool.

Then he seemed to remember something, turned his head and asked, "Where did the county magistrate go?"

"Your Excellency is busy all day long. Recently, you have been very concerned about the life in Lingtai County, and now you are very concerned about the selection of branches in the rice fields, so you have gone to other counties to discuss." Xu Rongzhou said without haste.

"It's such a standard excuse, if you run away, you're running away." Qin Huaizhen lifted up the purple clay pot next to him and stroked it lightly.

Xu Rongzhou lowered his head and opened the book and said: "It is because of these that I can get straight to the point with you here."

"Okay, I happen to be bored too." Qin Huaizhen said with her legs crossed.

Xu Rongzhou threw out the notebook in his hand, Yan Qing caught it and handed it to Qin Huaizhen.

"This is the record of Lingtai county magistrate's purchase of dispersing powder."

"What is that?" Qin Huaizhen asked.

"As long as this medicine is sprinkled on people, there will be miraculous hallucinations, and it may also cause unconscious nightmares." Xu Rongzhou paused when he said this.

"There are not a few people in Lingtai County, and there are only a handful of people in the corners that are not remembered by people. These people have been gradually decreasing."

Hearing this, Qin Huaizhen suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Qing, he seemed to agree.

This is the same as what happened in Ancheng before. On the street at night, a group of puppets looked like corpses.

"I also sent people to track their whereabouts, but no one returned."

"Why did you come to us?"

"The two sons are like dragons and beasts in trouble, with nowhere to go. After experiencing so many accidents, why don't you let yourself be freed earlier?"

"Are you investigating us?" Yan Qing said.

"It's well known that Mr. Qin and his party were involved in danger." Xu Rongzhou said with a smile.

"So you're going to cooperate with me, a prisoner under the watchful eye?"

"That's not it."

"Oh?"

"According to the previous message, Qin Huaizhen, the eldest son of General Qin in Ancheng, has died, and preparations for your funeral may have already started today." Xu Rongzhou said.

"What did you say?" Qin Huaizhen walked over and said, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yesterday, the residents of Ancheng found your body inside the gate, and General Qin declared that you fled back to Ancheng in the middle of the night because you couldn't bear the torture of exile, but you accidentally fell from the city gate and died." Xu Rongzhou said.

After hearing this, Qin Huaizhen's eyes were a little gloomy. What he was blaming at this time was not Qin Leyuan's nonsense, he would have his own sense of proportion, he was just worried that his father might deceive Mrs. Qin together.

Mrs. Qin hasn't cried much, if it happened suddenly, it might be bad for her health.

"However, I believe that General Qin has his own plans. He is very aware of your situation. It is very likely that someone has already targeted you. He simply did this so that those people would have no chance." Xu Rongzhou said.

"Of course he knows." Yan Qing said immediately.

"What about you? You are just a prime minister running errands, how could you have anything to do with these things?" Qin Huaizhen stared into his eyes and said, full of doubts.

"I just want to live an ordinary life. Even if I knew it before, I would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. It's just that everyone is greedy."

"What do you want to say?" Qin Huaizhen asked.

"You two may have known it when you first came here. My wife died in this way. She didn't do anything, and she didn't even have anything to do with those things, but she died in vain with many unbearable words on her back for no reason."

"What's the matter? Even if you go to your wife now, you won't be resurrected. Solving this matter will at most make life more peaceful for those who speak ill of each other." Yan Qing said.

Xu Rongzhou shook his head, his eyes darkened, he smiled and said: "You two have a good relationship, if one of you dies, will the other one do such useless work like me?"

He continued: "The living can only do their best and spend their entire lives doing things close to the dead, because only in this way, living for them, will feel that the rest of their lives are not so long."

"Forget it, maybe you don't have this experience, so it's useless for me to say more, but Mr. Qin, we all have the same trouble, can you consider cooperating with me." Xu Rongzhou said.

Yan Qing paused, and was about to say something but was preempted by Qin Huaizhen.

"Okay, I promise you." Qin Huaizhen replied.

After hearing this, Xu Rongzhou stood up and bowed to him.

"Don't rush to thank me, you want to tell me what to do?" Qin Huaizhen said.

"According to the route, the county magistrate will come back at night. I can't leave. Last time I suspected that he put a fixed group of people in the underground where the priest prayed. You can go at night. If you find something in it, bring it out. We Only then can it be submitted to the imperial palace, and the matter will be ended like this." Xu Rongzhou said.

"Okay, is there anything else?" Qin Huaizhen asked.

"That's all." Xu Rongzhou said.

"Then shall we go first?" Qin Huaizhen asked.

"Okay." Xu Rongzhou nodded.

After hearing the ending, Qin Huaizhen immediately stood up and walked out, Yan Qing followed and walked out after seeing it.

"Why did you promise him? What if what he said is false?"

"That's okay. If there is a quick solution to all this, why not do it? Don't you worry about this matter and investigate everywhere? What's more, I can't die without you." Qin Huaizhen stretched her waist .

"But what if the King of Chu is perfunctory and doesn't manage the matter after we come out?"

"That's easier. Let's go together. Qin Huaizhen seems very happy."

"Remember to bring more money, I don't want to be restrained in spending." Qin Huaizhen squinted his eyes, yawned and walked to the front, leaving only Yan Qing behind in a mess of conflicts.

night.

The dusk is withdrawn, and the darkness puts on an unreasonable airs.

Qin Huaizhen walked to the front, pulled up her hair, and held a bamboo stick in her hand, with candies strung on it.

"Hurry up, we'll be there soon." Qin Huaizhen said while eating.

"He is obviously looking for reasons not to come. If you are charged with some other crime, wouldn't it be more troublesome?" Yan Qing said.

"What are you afraid of? I'm dead. Even if they find out, they'll think they've seen a ghost." Qin Huaizhen said.

Yan Qing sighed.

"Aren't you afraid?" Qin Huaizhen turned around and approached him.

"There must be a lot of bad luck down here. Xu Rongzhou didn't go by himself, and told us to die. Many strange things happened underground. Don't you think these things are related? I feel sure that we are being targeted. If we go down, we will die. ?” Yan Qing said.

"Hey, when did you become so suspicious, what are you afraid of after living so long without dying?" Qin Huaizhen handed him a bamboo stick with candies on it.

Yan Qing took it, and said helplessly, "Did you give it to me?"

"Of course, I think it's quite delicious." Qin Huaizhen took a bite as he spoke.

"Also, when did you become so considerate? Is there any other ties?" Qin Huaizhen said with a half-smile, but in fact, there was jealousy visible to the naked eye.

"Not what you said." Yan Qing replied.

Qin Huaizhen turned around and walked forward, saying: "Oh, that's good."

He didn't see Yan Qing standing alone in the open space, watching his figure approaching the door.

"How could I not be tied down." Yan Qing said in his heart.

Open the door, a gust of cold wind blows, no light, like a lifeless underground cellar.

"Do you really want to go down? We can go back now." Yan Qing walked behind him and whispered.

"Don't go." Yan Qing said in his heart.

"Why are you so wordy, go quickly." Qin Huaizhen walked down.
