Crossing town house man and wife

Due to time constraints, before Yao Zhong could find Ruan Jin, he had to hand over the matter to his subordinates and follow Yan Heng to western Liaoning.

The road before entering the west of Liaoning was calm.

It was the first ten days of February at this time, and the weather had begun to warm up. The people in Liaodong also broke away from the cat winter and began to rebuild their homes.Because a series of disaster relief measures in winter have been effective, the trust of Liaodong people in the county government is increasing day by day. When Yan Heng once again issued an announcement in the name of the county government, saying that there will be another major earthquake from March to April, the people Most of them choose to believe.They did not rush to repair the brick and adobe houses that were damaged in the previous earthquakes. Instead, under the suggestion of the county governor's office, they built a building that could only shelter from wind and rain, but it was not easy to collapse and hurt people in the earthquake. man's hut.

Just because they knew what they were about to encounter and how to deal with it, although the people in Liaodong did not become happy because the winter passed, they also did not panic because of the successive disasters.

But after entering western Liaoning, the situation changed suddenly.

On the way to Lecheng, Zhiyang, Liaoxi County, except for the pawns that Yan Heng arranged in advance at the post station, they rarely even saw a living person.Many villages have become ghost lands, with only ruined walls and messy bones left. Wu Ming even saw several new ghosts who hadn't realized the news of his death.

"Before it's hot, find someone to clean up these villages and bury the dead." Wu Ming couldn't help but say, "If you let this go, there will be a plague after the hot weather."

Yan Heng was sitting in the carriage with Wu Ming. When Wu Ming reminded him, he was also looking out through the glass window. After hearing the words, he immediately responded: "Madam, don't worry, the people who came first have already started to call the people. Relief for workers. It’s just that there is a shortage of manpower, and the current priority is to repair the Great Wall, so as to avoid being attacked by the northerners when it is not ready, which has only been delayed for a few days.”

As the saying goes, it’s never too early to make money.The primary purpose of the northerners' invasion of the south is to plunder rather than kill, so the time for the southward invasion is generally selected in the lean spring and the autumn when the harvest has just been completed, in order to rob food and fill their stomachs. War is an exception.

Because of this, although Yan Heng had just killed a group of northerners, he was not sure whether there would be new invaders when spring came.After all, the nomads and fishermen and hunters in the north exist in the state of tribes, and they are not counted as countries. Their armies do not have unified dispatch and command like the Qin army.It is possible for them to join forces to fight together, or they may have their own ideas and come to harass one after another.

In contrast, Liaodong, which has been quiet all winter, is more likely to be attacked by northerners in spring.

But since Yan Heng dared to travel far at this time, he was obviously fully prepared. Wu Ming didn't think he could do better than Yan Heng, so he stopped talking after finishing what he had to say.

The sight of barbarians did not slow down Yan Heng's progress. In mid-February, a group of people arrived in Yangle, Liaoxi County, and directly lived in the county guard's mansion in Yangle City.

The original Liaoxi governor had hanged himself while the northerners were besieging the city, and in the early morning of the second day after the Liaoxi governor committed suicide and died in the city, the reinforcements from Liaodong arrived at Yangle City, and sent the northerners who had been fighting here for many days Kill them all.

Upon hearing that the coincidence reached its peak, Wu Ming couldn't help but doubt whether the sheriff committed suicide or was killed.

Yan Heng didn't have any secrets with Wu Ming, seeing that he was suspicious, he quietly confessed the matter to him.

The governor of Liaoxi did not voluntarily die in the city.

That night, the governor of Liaoxi County had actually received a secret letter that the reinforcements were coming. He was relieved that he was already prepared to flee, and he ordered people to prepare food and drinks to enjoy himself.In the end, extreme joy turned sorrowful, and the maid who had been placed beside him took the opportunity to get him drunk, and hung him up to the beams of the roof.

When the governor of Liaoxi County died, all the dragons in Yangle City were leaderless.

After killing all the northerners, Yan Heng's army successfully took over the military administration in western Liaoning.

In fact, even if they don't want to take over, it doesn't matter. Liaoxi now wants money but no money, food but no food. It's a mess that no one wants to take over. The local officials in Liaoxi are also eager for someone to take over. Yan Heng's side showed a little To put it mildly, they took the initiative to offer their power.

They obviously don't know that there is a saying that it is easy to invite gods to send gods, and they always think that it is impossible for Yan Heng to serve as the sheriff of two counties at the same time. More than earning a reputation.

Of course, Yan Heng will not let anyone remind them that since he has come, he will not leave.

After moving into the Sheriff's Mansion, Yan Heng first pretended to visit the family members of the former Sheriff's Mansion, and then asked them to send them out of the Sheriff's Mansion, and found another house in Yangle City, called resettlement, which was actually under house arrest.

While Yan Heng was busy dealing with many trivial matters, Wu Ming also encountered an annoying matter.

Yan Heng's men found Ruan Cheng's parents, took them into Yangle City, found a big house, provided them with delicious food and drink, and waited for the wife of the sheriff to come to show her merits.

Wu Ming heard about it from Yao Chong before he entered the city, but he didn't have the time to put on a family drama about a long-lost reunion, so he directly threw this matter to Yao Chong, asking him to keep an eye on him for now, and return In Liaodong, we will take them away together.

But not long after entering the Sheriff's Mansion, Wu Ming was still soaking in the tub to soothe his fatigue, when the tortoise shell knocked on the door of the clean room——

"Ma'am, your father is here."

Wu Ming was speechless for a while, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked back, "Where is Yao Zhong?"

"Servant Yao is not here." Tortoiseshell was also in a dilemma.She knew that Wu Ming didn't want to see the Ruan family, but in this year, filial piety was emphasized, and her own father came to the door, so how could she avoid seeing him again.

"Where is he now?" Wu Ming turned to ask, "I mean, my father in name."

What is a nominal father?

The tortoise shell outside the door rolled his eyes, "The lord is not in the mansion either, the steward invited him to wait in the side hall."

"Then let him continue to wait." Wu Ming pouted.

"Ma'am, isn't this bad?" Tortoiseshell sighed and advised, "There are people coming and going in the front yard, if people see you ignoring your father... I'm afraid it will cause criticism."

Who cares!

Wu Ming snorted coldly, but after thinking about it, he finally didn't make it difficult for the tortoise shell.

"Forget it, let someone bring him to the backyard, and find an empty house to settle him in." Wu Ming said, "Anyway, there are no female relatives in the backyard, so don't worry about avoiding suspicion."

"No." The tortoise shell took the order and left.

Tortoiseshell is still young and doesn't know how to adapt.If it was Auntie Lao, she would have taken him to a private place and guarded him, and she would never have come to ask him when he was taking a bath.

Because both Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao had accidents, Aunt Lai originally wanted to follow her, but Wu Ming couldn't bear to make her toss, so she was forced to stay in the mansion, and she had to choose two new maids to follow.However, as soon as he left Xiangping City, Wu Ming pushed the two strange maids out of sight, leaving only Tortoise by his side as usual.

But Yao Zhong was originally responsible for the affairs of the Ruan family, if Yao Zhong were here, it would not be the turn of the tortoise.

Having said that, where did that guy Yao Zhong go?

Wu Ming continued to take a bath while thinking wildly, not at all interested in getting up to see Ruan Huan.

Yao Zhong is actually still in the Sheriff's Mansion right now, and like Wu Ming, he is in the backyard, and the distance is only about [-] meters.It's just that Wu Ming was alone, but there was another person in front of Yao Zhong.

This person was also something Wu Ming didn't want to see, and Yao Zhong didn't intend to let Wu Ming see him again.

At the same moment that Wu Ming asked Tortoise to deal with Ruan Huan, Yao Zhong also pierced the man's chest with the dagger in his hand.

It wasn't until the man completely stopped breathing that Yao Zhong pulled out the dagger, and said to himself: "Go all the way, Zhuji, and find a good family when you reincarnate."

The person who was killed by Yao Zhong was the pearl he sent to the west of Liaoning as a fine work.

After entering the sheriff's mansion in Yangle City, the ordinary-looking Zhuji quickly gained the trust of the sheriff's wife, and was sent to the sheriff's side to serve her.The reason why Liaoxi County Sheriff drank to celebrate after receiving the secret letter was also bewitched by Zhuji.In fact, even the secret letter was secretly brought in by Zhuji and sent to the governor of Liaoxi County.

But once the governor of Liaoxi died, Zhuji was useless.

Her little credit cannot be compared with the power of the magistrate's wife, and Yao Zhong never planned to let her return to Yan Heng's side from the beginning, let alone use her for a long time.

Ever since, Yao Zhong did not do anything, and did it himself, so as to avoid future troubles forever.

But since their moody wife of the sheriff didn't know about it from the beginning, there is no need to tell him now. Yao Zhong only greeted Yan Heng, but didn't mention Wu Ming. carry.

After confirming that Zhuji was dead enough to die no more, Yao Zhong asked someone to drag her body away, while he cleaned his hands and changed his clothes, preparing to deal with some guys outside the mansion.

Only then did Yao Zhong realize that his delay was due to an omission, and the county sheriff's wife's father came to him.

There is really no one in this family who can make people worry!

Yao Zhongxin slandered, but still rushed over in a hurry to prevent his wife from causing a scandal of beating his own father violently.

But Wu Ming came late.

Yao Zhong had already accompanied Ruan Huan to gossip about Liangzhuxiang, and Wu Mingcai walked in with disheveled hair.

"Ma'am!" Yao Zhong hastily stood up to greet her.

Naturally, Ruan Huan would not move, and sat on the mat peacefully, waiting for Wu Ming to greet him.

Wu Ming ignored him, and asked Yao Zhong on his own, "Why is he here?"

"This..." Yao Zhong smiled wryly.

Ruan Huan is just an old fox, the two of them talked nonsense for a long time, but neither of them got anything out of it.

Before Yao Chong could figure out how to answer, Ruan Huan coughed lightly and interjected, "Erlang, you won't recognize me after we haven't seen each other for several months?"

Wu Ming did not recognize it, but after a little association, he also guessed Ruan Huan's identity. However, since Ruan Huan asked this, he couldn't help but cheer him up, and immediately asked, "Who are you?"

Ruan Huan was choked for a moment, and couldn't help saying angrily, "I'm your father, Ruan Huan!"

"Instead of being paralyzed!" Wu Ming rolled his eyes, "If you have something to talk about, get away with it, don't pretend to be an elder in front of me!"

Ruan Huan immediately stood up against the case, pointed at Wu Ming and roared: "You evil, who gave you the courage to talk to your father like that..."

Before Ruan Huan finished speaking, he felt his feet slipped, his body was unstable, and he fell backwards involuntarily.

"what--"

After a scream, the back of Ruan Huan's head collided heavily with the hard stone brick floor, making a dull sound.

"Boom!"
