Chapter 42 Headless Male Corpse

On the second day, Zhu Songshan took Du Si and the county magistrate Zhao Yishui on the carriage to Yongzhou.

According to what Zhu Songshan said, the magistrate was named Lu Jisheng, who was in charge of the land in Yongzhou. Lu Jisheng was a majestic fourth-rank court official, and he was also the first high-ranking official Du Si met here.

Both Jeju and Xuzhou belong to the south. Yongzhou is in the middle and is closer to the capital city. I heard that Yongzhou is cooler now, which is much cooler than other places. However, as long as you can leave Longhua, any place is a good place. Du Si sat in the carriage, thinking dizzily.

The land became extremely barren due to the hot weather, and every time the wheels turned, the carriage would bump up, making Du Si miserable.

"Du Si, are you alright?" the policeman on the side asked concerned, his name was Zeng Qing, he was very healthy, he was ordered by Zhu County magistrate, and brought three policemen, except for Jing Heng, who Du Si didn't know people.

Du Heng stayed in Longhua sadly, and stayed with his underpants all day long.

Du Si waved his hands weakly, turned his head to the car window, and did not speak.

It's the dog days now, the carriage is extremely hot and dry, and the wind blowing in through the window is also weak, unable to bring a trace of coolness.

Du Si really wanted to take off his clothes and run into the stream, but now...he looked up at the others, and saw that everyone was serious, and it seemed that he was the only one who couldn't sit still.

"Du Si, you need to exercise more, you can't go far away like this in the future." Zhu Zhixian said with a smile.

Du Si cheered up immediately after hearing the words, trying not to look so uncomfortable.

"I won't be able to come back within half a month of this trip." Zhu Zhixian's tone suddenly rose, as if mixed with some joy, "I heard that Yongzhou is cool in summer, which drags down the blessing of the magistrate. I can leave Longhua..."

Zhu Zhixian paused suddenly, and when he realized that everyone was looking at him, he smiled awkwardly, and immediately changed his words.

"You can leave Longhua and go to Yongzhou to learn more."

"I heard that there is a good place." Catcher Zeng said harshly, "Even the wontons sold are much bigger than Longhua, but they are a bit more expensive."

"There is a famous troupe in Yongzhou, even the Holy Majesty likes it very much. When you arrive in Yongzhou, I will take you to the theater. How about it?" Zhu Zhixian said, stroking his beard.

"The villain thanked the county magistrate." The county magistrate Zhao Yishui thanked, thought for a while and then said, "But the theater troupe only shows up at night, so I wonder if it's convenient for you, sir."

"It's convenient, why is it inconvenient? This officer likes to watch the theater the most." Zhu Zhixian laughed, and the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly eased a lot.

Du Si is not in the mood to have fun, he seems to be riding a roller coaster now, his stomach seems to be rolling up and down, his face is covered with sweat, and his skin that is not covered by his clothes looks more delicate and fair, which makes people unable to move their eyes away.

Jing Heng, who was sitting next to him, took a quick glance, but never looked in this direction again. After a long while, he handed out a dark handkerchief and said nothing.

Du Si took it, but couldn't remember whether he had thanked him, he tilted his head, leaned against the car wall and fell into a deep sleep. In his sleep, Du Si still frowned, feeling very uncomfortable.

Zhao Yishui looked at Zhuzhi County, his eyes rolled in their sockets, and said suddenly.

"My lord, why did Prefect Lu invite you to Yongzhou? Is there something urgent?"

"This..." Zhu Songshan paused and quickly realized, "How can I guess what the magistrate is thinking?"

However, he looked at Du Si cryptically, and he didn't know what the meaning was in his eyes. The next moment, Zhu Songshan looked away and returned to discussing the topic of Yongzhou.

"I heard that Yongzhou became rich by relying on natural gems, so I need to take a good look at it this time."

"yes…"

The people at the side were still talking, Jing Heng turned his face slightly, staring at Du Si's sleeping face, something seemed to settle in his eyes.

A few days later, Zhu Songshan and others came to Jeju. It was just like Xuzhou, it was suffocatingly hot. After wandering around, they came to the government office in Yecheng. Standing at the gate of the yamen hehe, the two of them laughed like dolls on New Year pictures, very happy.

Song County Magistrate was originally named Song Wei, and Du Si smacked his lips, so he knew his full name.

"Zhu Zhixian, long time no see, how are you?" Song Zhixian greeted him with a smile.

"Okay, why not, I haven't gathered for a while, Zhuzhi County, your complexion is much better again." Zhu Songshan followed with a smile.

The two called brothers and sisters, they talked all over the country, and they were actually closer than ordinary brothers. Du Si stood aside, looking at the clothes these people were wearing, and feeling the sweat on their foreheads, it felt hot just looking at them.

Song Zhixian invited several people into the yamen, and they set off together not long after. He was rich and powerful, and the carriage he was riding in was very good. Zhu Zhixian looked at his carriage and stroked his beard. When he was about to board the carriage, Zhu Songshan suddenly died. Leaning, fell to the ground.

"Zhu Zhixian, are you okay?" Song Zhixian, who had already got into the car, poked out half of his head and looked back.

"I'm fine." Zhu Songshan stayed on the ground for a while, and was then helped up by arrester Zeng.

He patted the carriage and joked, "I came from a small place, and my body is as strong as this carriage, but this horse is old, I don't know if it can keep up with the speed of Song Zhixian."

Afterwards, Song Wei changed Zhu Songshan into a good carriage, and Du Si and the others sat on it following the honor of the county magistrate.

The carriage began to move forward slowly. Zhu Zhixian, who was sitting in the new carriage, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Song Zhixian is as magnanimous as the rumors say. He is worthy of being a person who lives in the capital."

Du Si watched from the side, seeming to understand something.

Life is like a play, it's all about acting.

These people drove for more than ten days. Due to the quality of the carriage, the carriage was not so bumpy. Du Si felt much better and became active unconsciously.

I learned from Zhu Songshan Pass that they were going to Lin'an, Yongzhou. The magistrate surnamed Lu lived in Lin'an. This time, it was not only these two magistrates, but also several other magistrates and even prefectures.

Du Si couldn't figure it out, what was the reason for inviting so many officials to Lin'an, Yongzhou, did they want to discuss something?

Thinking of this, Du Si suddenly remembered something.

"Lord magistrate, do you still remember the letter written by the villain?" Seeing Zhu Songshan's confusion, Du Si reminded, "It's those days when it's rainy and rainy in the first ten days of May."

"Oh, the time you went to Yecheng?" Zhu Songshan nodded, "I received it, but it took many days for the letter to arrive in my hands. Because the Xuzhou river embankment broke, many people's letters were late. arrive."

"My lord, when did you get the letter?" Du Si asked anxiously with a serious face.

"About a few days before you come back." Zhu Songshan replied.

Du Si frowned, straightened his back and thought, if he remembers correctly, the magistrate of Song Dynasty learned about his work in Linshui County within six days after he came to Yecheng, but Linshui was in Xuzhou, and the river embankment in Xuzhou was completely destroyed , how did he know?

Time flowed in Du Si's thoughts. The two county magistrates traveled for many days and finally came to Yongzhou.

Zhu Zhixian got off the carriage with excitement, and when he took the first step in Yongzhou, the smile gradually solidified on his face.

"My lord, Jeju is so hot, we finally left. I heard that Yongzhou is cool, there are still shows to watch at night, and the girl is also pretty... This trip is worth your time." Mao Yi said happily.

"This is thanks to the magistrate for letting me leave that ghost place in Jeju." Song Wei was paralyzed on the couch, his clothes were open, and there was still a basin of cold water under his feet. Suddenly, he raised his head and said in doubt, "Hey, my official Haven't gone out yet, come to Yongzhou for a few days, why don't you feel so cool?"

"Your Excellency must have stayed in Yecheng for too long, and had an illusion." Mao Yi denied it, and handed over the tea with a smile.

"Well, that's true, why is Yongzhou so hot?" Song Wei took a sip of the tea, but was startled by a howl, and the teacup in his hand fell into the car and spilled all over the floor.

"Which little bastard? This is my favorite Biluochun!" Song Wei opened the curtain and shouted outside, "Who is howling here? Are there any rules!"

Behind the curtain of the car, a wave of heat rushed in. Song Wei hurriedly lowered the curtain and asked Mao Yi to go outside to observe.

"My lord, this, this is wrong!" Mao Yi shouted.

"Hmph, I don't believe it anymore..." Song Wei put on his official robe and took his feet out of the water basin, "Go, let me go outside to have a look."

When the two of them packed up and got out of the carriage, the heat that rushed to their faces covered their faces, and a burning sensation rose from the soles of their feet to their hearts.

"Zhu Zhi County, what's going on?" Song Wei looked at Zhu Songshan who was standing with his hands behind his hands in a daze.

Seeing that Zhu Songshan turned around slowly, the liquid flowing from the corner of his eyes could no longer distinguish whether it was sweat or tears. He paused and replied in a deep voice, "It's hotter than Longhua here, and the water is gone."

Zhu Songshan pointed to the notice board hanging not far away, with two large characters written on it - cut off water.

Upon hearing this, Song Wei rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

"Master Zhixian, Lord Zhixian!" Mao Yi hurried forward, and the others surrounded Song Zhixian with great eagerness.

"Stay away, don't get too close!" Du Si quickly explained, and then asked Mao Yi, "Do you have water there?"

"Yes, but that is..." Mao Yi hesitated.

"Where?"

"In the carriage." Mao Yi subconsciously pointed to the carriage.

Du Si rushed into the carriage, and soon brought out a basin of cold water.

"All spread out—"

Everyone backed away quickly, Du Si poured a basin of cold water on Song Wei's face, only to see Song Wei smack his mouth, finally reacted.

The people found an inn, the prices here were extremely high, Zhu Songshan paid the money painfully, and they had to sleep in the same room, Du Si happened to live in the same room as Jing Heng, just when he was a little embarrassed, the next door A howl came from the room where Song Wei lived, followed by Mao Yi's begging for mercy.

"Did something happen?" Du Si wondered while rubbing his chin.

Jing Heng shook his head, the two of them were extremely tired after traveling for more than ten days, so they turned off the lights and went to sleep.
