Bring a boyfriend home for Lantern Festival

Chapter 17 The South River Rebellion

Although Yu Tianze was unwilling, he still accepted the magistrate An's offer to clean up the dust, but he didn't expect that the so-called cleansing was nothing more than a few plates of wild vegetables and rice made from the grain he had just brought.

Seeing that the officials who came with him couldn't eat the food, County Magistrate An ate it clean. It seemed that he hadn't eaten for a long time. Seeing him like this, Yu Tianze's grudge against him was completely eliminated.

I ate some food with them and went to rest. Before I left, I ordered them to count the relief food and distribute it to the people who were still in the city. Then I immediately sent people into the mountains to find other people and told them to go to the county magistrate's mansion to receive them. relief food.

County Magistrate An respectfully accepted the order, and personally sent the prince away. After Yu Tianze left, only the accompanying officials were left. County Magistrate An sent them off very graciously, and told them that all affairs here would be handled by him and would not bother them. My lords.

The general who accompanied him rewarded him with a bag of good things in satisfaction, saying that the assistant minister specially ordered him to bring it here, just to reward magistrate An for his hard work in disaster relief.

After receiving the bag, County Magistrate An was flattered and said:

"Don't dare to bother Mr. Fu Xiang to worry about it. It's just that General Hu brought it here from a long distance. Naturally, the next official wants to be grateful."

General Hu squinted at the county magistrate An, who had a stronger mouth than ability, and then left after a few words of hypocritical flattery. County magistrate An weighed the bag in his hand, shook his head, with a regretful expression,

"How can I bend my waist for this mere five buckets of rice when I am desperately working on my life?"

After he opened the bag in his hand, he froze on the spot, then laughed from ear to ear, and said again:

"But if it can benefit the people, it is not impossible to bend the waist."

The streets of Nanhe were still steaming at night, and even the room was unbearably hot and humid. Yu Tianze couldn't sleep no matter what, so he had no choice but to sit by his bed and look at the empty courtyard.

Suddenly a black shadow flashed across the yard, and he remembered the story An Pingzhi told him during the day. An Pingzhi said that since the drought happened in their place, people have been dying continuously, and some people have not been properly buried after death. Turned into a ghost.

Some people also claim that they have seen ghosts come out to commit crimes at night. They will run to other people's homes, twist other people's heads, and drink human blood.

When Yu Tianze saw the black shadow enter the room of County Magistrate An, he immediately put on his coat and went downstairs. When he knocked on the door of An Pingzhi's room, An Pingzhi opened the door sleepily.

Seeing that it was the prince knocking on the door, he immediately asked Yu Tianze docilely what he wanted to order. Yu Tianze looked into his room and didn't see anything, so he dealt with it indiscriminately.

When I got back to my room, I felt that I was tired from running around for a long time. Who knew that he just turned around, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

On the second day, Yu Tianze asked to go outside the gate of the county magistrate's mansion to personally monitor the distribution of porridge and food distribution, and An Pingzhi immediately sent someone to distribute the porridge. Unexpectedly, there were only a few dozen refugees left in this huge Nanhe.

Seeing this, Yu Tianze asked An Pingzhi to speed up the recall of the people in the deep mountains. An Pingzhi told him that he had sent people to recall the people, but Nanhe was sparsely populated, and it was really not easy to find people.

He was given another five days and another sleepless night. Yu Tianze sat quietly by the window and looked at the yard. His black hair fell down naturally, and the moonlight shone on his fair cheeks through the window. , It just makes people feel that the years are quiet and good.

Suddenly another black shadow appeared in the yard, this time the black shadow did not disappear quickly, Yu Tianze clearly saw that it was clearly a person.

The man had a mask on his face, and he was looking for something in the yard with a sharp figure. Suddenly he raised his head and looked at the window where Yu Tianze was, and Yu Tianze immediately hid back.

When he looked out the window again, he found that the person had disappeared. He was curious, who is this person, and why he ran to the county magistrate's mansion every day without doing anything.

Just when he thought the other party would do nothing, a sword suddenly appeared behind him, and before he could turn around, the sword was already on his neck,

"who are you?"

Yu Tianze didn't say this, the man's voice was low and cold, as if he had soaked in ice, Yu Tianze could only feel a chill from his neck piercing deep into his skin.

He was at a loss, and an assassin who attacked him at night asked who he was, which was really funny. He saw that the assassin was a little stupid, so he deliberately lied that he was a small civil servant from the imperial city.

"Since they are from the imperial city, they should also be here for disaster relief, right?"

"That's right! But I'm just a small civil servant, why do you want me?"

The sword in the man's hand was not affected at all, and it was firmly on Yu Tianze's neck. The original position of Yu Tianze was not suitable for him to move, and now the plan to divert the opponent's attention seems to be unworkable.

Unexpectedly, the man was silent for a while, and continued to talk to him:

"The imperial city is too comfortable, and the people of the imperial city don't know that the suffering in the world is justifiable. Since you have been ordered to come here to help the disaster, I ask you to work hard to completely solve the suffering of the people."

"Solving the sufferings of the people is naturally our business, so don't worry about it. But natural disasters and man-made disasters are beyond the control of us mere mortals!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Tianze jumped directly from the window, caught off guard, the man subconsciously reached out and grabbed Yu Tianze's shoulder, the movement made by Yu Tianze attracted the attention of the night watchmen, and then someone rushed into the yard.

Yu Tianze thought that the man was trying to catch him, so he raised his head and looked at the masked man. The man's brain went blank when he suddenly saw Yu Tianze turned his head and saw his face clearly.

Taking this opportunity, Yu Tianze knocked back the hand that was on his shoulder, landed perfectly, and turned back to look at his window, only to find that the person had disappeared.

After tidying up his clothes and ordering no one to chase after him, An Pingzhi also ran out of the room, saw Yu Tianze immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, Yu Tianze ordered the people to disperse when he saw him come out.

"County Magistrate An, I feel that there are some things that you should tell me carefully!"

An Pingzhi raised his head in doubt, not knowing what to say, Yu Tianze asked him to tell him carefully what the former county magistrate had done.

To sum it up, everyone knows what An Pingzhi knows, and if he said it, he didn't say it. Yu Tianze was upset, so he asked him to go back to rest, and went back to the room by himself.

On the second day, Yu Tianze personally went to the place where the former county magistrate hanged himself and checked carefully. County magistrate An accompanied him, but he couldn't find anything except some old case files. The purpose has to be found, An Pingzhi whispered:

"My lord! Are you looking for something?"

Yu Tianze, who was originally hot and inexplicably irritable, couldn't think of what he was looking for when he asked him such a question, so he dismissed him casually.

After getting rid of County Magistrate An and others, he wandered alone on the street, the street was empty, but the sun always favored him, and he felt dazzled as he walked and turned into a small road.

There were several houses in the alley, and he knocked on the door one by one, but he didn't knock on any of them. He always felt that he had made a mistake, and suddenly thought of the old man.

He found that family according to his memory. The hand that was about to knock on the door, just touched the door, and the door opened. Seeing the congealed blood in front of him, he felt a burst of pain buzzing.

He didn't care so much and walked into this small house. There was no yard in this house, and the room was opened when the door was opened. There was a pool of dried blood on the ground, which was covered up with soil casually.

He hurriedly inspected other rooms, but he didn't expect that there was no one, not even a corpse. He inspected around the bloodstain and found a small piece of black cloth.

Picking up the piece of cloth, it didn't look like a high-end material, and he didn't know what happened here, but he hoped that it had better not be human blood.

After finding no other clues, he walked out of the door, and suddenly saw bloodstains on the street, he immediately followed the bloodstains, and it was broken at the end of the street, where there was land, and the bloodstains were covered up.

He searched for a while based on his feeling and couldn't find anything, then he suddenly thought of something and immediately went back home, sure enough, there was still a porridge man in front of the door.

"Where did those people go?"

A small yamen servant didn't know that the prince appeared suddenly, and didn't know how to answer for a while. The magistrate An who was supervising at the side hurried over when he saw the prince, and said courteously:

"My lord, why did you come back from outside? If you need anything, just ask, and the next official will do it for you."

"My lord asks you, that day, my lord arranged for you to deliver food to that old man, did you do so?"

"Oh, that's what you're talking about! To tell you the truth, since you saw them last time, the people sent by the subordinate officials have never seen them again, and they don't know where they went. Let's go up the mountain!"

It was only then that Yu Tianze suddenly realized that whenever he asked a question, the magistrate An would always give him an impeccable answer in a calm and breezy manner. I think he was too naive, but he had only experienced a few things, how could he? Fighting with this kind of person who has been in the officialdom.

Suddenly feeling that he was being tricked, Yu Tianze tried his best to adjust his mentality, and smiled at An Pingzhi indifferently, with a harmless smile, which seemed to give people an illusion of innocence and harmlessness.

"The county magistrate An is really obedient. After returning to the palace, this king has decided to praise you in front of his father."

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I am flattered."

"Okay, go and prepare a horse for this king. This king will go to the mountains to find the people of Nanhe himself."

An Pingzhi finally looked embarrassed for a while, and said timidly:

"Are you honored or not"

Yu Tianze flicked his sleeves and said, "This king's own decision, you don't have to worry about the consequences."

Seeing Yu Tianze waving his sleeves away, An Pingzhi saluted his back and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, let's get ready."

Yu Tianze, who decided to leave the next day, went to bed early. In the middle of the night, he suddenly sat up from the bed, walked to the bed and scanned the courtyard, and immediately went downstairs when he found that there was no one there.
