illegitimate child

Chapter 147: Withered Cicada

Luo Jinnian wanted to go to Jiangdong, it was not because Wang Ju guessed that doing evil in one place was not enough, so he had to squeeze into a lively place. Although he had the intention of looking for a lively place, he really had a serious business this time.

Last night, he was meeting Zhou Gong in his dream, but suddenly heard a short flute sound, he put on his clothes and followed the sound source to check, and was led to an abandoned firewood house in the county town.The door is closed, and it's dark, not to mention the shadows of people around, and you can't even see a ghost.

Luo Jinnian mistakenly thought that he was still inside the door, so he pushed the door open without fear of anything, and was suddenly dazzled by the armor, guns and knives piled up all over the room.The moonlight is reflected by the ironware, and the light in the room is hazy.

He raised his hand and slapped his big mouth, it hurt so much, only then did he realize that he was not dreaming.In line with the concept of taking advantage and not taking advantage of the bastard, Luo Jinnian didn't wait, and called someone to put the weapon away that night.It doesn't matter who hid this thing here, or who sent it here as an old Bodhisattva out of kindness, in short, if you enter Luo Jinnian's territory, don't even think about going back.

Even if the rightful lord came to find him, that was the way he said it. Luo Jinnian went back to sleep, staring dazedly after taking care of his bed, and only went to check the weapons sleepily at noon.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you find that there are small stamps engraved on the things you picked up last night-Li, yo, don't you need to say who sent these things.

He couldn't help admiring General Tian, ​​whom he had never met before. He was a ruthless man, and he didn't forget to slap Li Chao before he left after being angry with Li Chao. Words like a fight.

In addition to the weapons, he also found a piece of silk at the bottom of the iron box containing the pomegranate, which was four feet long when unfolded, and a map was drawn on it. In contrast, the painting on the silk should be the topography of Jiangdong.

One of the mountain ranges was heavily circled with a red pen, and it looked like there was something hidden there. Luo Jinnian had always acted rashly, with the word "love" in everything he did, so he decided to go to Jiangdong to hunt for treasure.

Hey, what a hero!

At five o'clock the next day, just before dawn, Luo Jinnian changed into a light sapphire blue riding suit, with a long whip with upside-down snake scales pinned to his waist, his hair was pulled into a high ponytail, and tied with a white jade crown carved with bamboo. Merry boy.He walked briskly in front, and Xiao Shuanzi, who was following behind, was almost crushed into the soil by the big and small bags, and his steps trembled three times.

The official road outside the county was destroyed by Di Rong. The two horses were parked on the abandoned dirt road and snorting leisurely. Luo Jinnian frowned when he saw it. After tossing a few times, he reluctantly nodded.

Wang Ju stood aside with his hands in his hands and watched Luo Jinnian's pretentiousness, thinking numbly, well, let this ancestor go away to rest for a few days.At this time, he could still pretend that he didn't see it at all. When Xiao Shuanzi caught up with him panting heavily, Wang Ju couldn't hold back anymore. He forcibly took over the big burden that was placed on his head by Xiao Shuanzi, and cursed at Luo Jinnian: "You still don't know what to do?" It's not a thing! You are spoiling such a small child!"

Before Luo Jinnian could speak, Shuanzi gasped for breath and said with a smirk: "My lord, you misunderstood Brother Jing. I insisted on helping him with his things. Brother Jing said he would take me out to play!" Shuanzi had never been out of the desolation in his life. Of course, Liuzhou is yearning for the outside world. At this time, he can't hear others saying something bad about Luo Jinnian, for fear that he will regret not taking him there.

Luo Jinnian pouted proudly at Xiao Shuanzi, but looked at Wang Ju, his cat eyes were full of cunning, "I heard that there is no Wang Ju, he did it voluntarily, and I won't do those forced evil things."

Wang Ju was speechless, and he became a villain who meddles in his own business and beats mandarin ducks?

Luo Jinnian beckoned to Xiao Shuanzi, and Xiao Shuanzi was so anxious that he almost dragged and snatched Wang Ju's salute, and walked to Luo Jinnian's side.

"Sit still," Luo Jinnian grabbed Xiao Shuanzi's waist, put his bag on the saddle, and his movements were as smooth as lifting a feather, holding the rein firmly. He looked at Wang Ju, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Are you still waiting?" What are you waiting for if you don’t get on the horse?”

Wang Ju originally thought that he was here to see him off, and Xiao Jing prepared two horses to ride alternately. He never thought that this kid Xiao Jing was playing the old man's idea not to let him go after he went out.

With so many people in Xiaokang County, he couldn't stand Luo Jinnian's annoyance and fuss. If he went with him, how could he stand the torture alone along the way!

Wang Ju made up his mind and walked faster and faster.

"Old man Wang, aren't you afraid that I'll sell this kid halfway?"

There was a melodious laugh from behind, Wang Ju stopped his pace suddenly, he suddenly turned around and grabbed the rein and was about to get on the horse, but he was old and weak, so he barely climbed up after three or four times.

Luo Jinnian laughed loudly, and rode his horse away.

The dumplings were delivered outside the city gate, and they dragged Tong Yu back and forth to entrust them, until the convoy was about to leave before reluctantly letting go.

Song Ling went to pay homage to the Shangguan first, and presented the ceremony.Gong Yangtu is about seven feet tall, wearing an official uniform, soft soap boots on his feet, and a mustache that divides into two characters. He does not live up to Chang Tong's evaluation of the smiling tiger.No matter what he thinks about this temporary intervening officer, his face is always cheerful.

Song Ling stayed in the sedan chair to eat a bowl of tea, and casually did some household chores, then said he was tired, and Song Ling retreated knowingly.

His trip this time was simple, except for the three new robes necessary for ceremonial guards, a set of tea sets, a set of incense burners, and several packets of gold and silver barley seeds as rewards, he did not bring anything else.

As soon as he returned to his sedan chair, Tong Yu suddenly came up to him, looking very embarrassed. Song Ling knew what he had asked them to do on time, and something went wrong again. Write it down for the time being, and we will discuss rewards and punishments in the future."

Tong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered in Song Ling's ear: "Five words before leaving, came back to pass on the message that Mr. Lang asked us to send the plague patients out of the city, but when she arrived at the Pear Garden in the west of the city, she had already disappeared."

gone?Song Ling's eyes flashed, those people were already dying of illness, there is no possibility that they left by themselves, someone should have taken them away.It's not clear what the intention is, but it's not good if the plague patient loses contact.

Song Ling thought for a while, got up and raised the curtain to stop the motorcade, and lied that there was a salute. Tong Yu took the opportunity to get out of the car, and from time to time he actually came back with a big bag.

"I have made it clear that Wuyan will continue to lead people to track down the traces. The Fuzhong will not go out to buy after closing its doors recently." Tong Yu put down the things and replied.

Song Ling nodded slightly, and lightly closed his eyelids and leaned on the backrest to rest his mind.

No matter what the intention of the person who kidnapped the patient is, he can't control so much now that he wants to travel far to the east of the river. He can only let Wuyan lead people to find them as much as possible. If the plague spreads accidentally, he must give priority to keeping everyone in Luofu.

Seeing that Song Ling was already looking tired, Tong Yu hesitated again. In fact, he still had something to say.Song Ling seemed to see his entanglement, and suddenly opened his eyes, "What else is there?"

Tong Yu was terrified by his sight, and replied: "It's not a big deal, Princess Guishan sent someone to the mansion the day before yesterday, saying that she fell in love with that girl, Xiao Xun, and she was reluctant to let her out of the palace, and wanted to beg for love with Lang Jun." Xiao Ning stays in the palace."

The convoy had already set off, Song Ling looked sideways at the receding city wall outside the window, and whispered, "Princess Guishan..."

Tong Yu was still waiting for the next sentence, and hadn't heard a word for a long time. He looked up and saw that Song Ling had fallen asleep on his back at some point.

Shangjing, a dark water prison.

The water prison is three feet square, and the surrounding walls are covered with moss. Because the sun has not been seen for a long time, the light in the water prison is very dim, and it is all illuminated by candlesticks sunken into the wall.Through the candlelight, one could see steps winding down from the ground, and an iron cage was placed in the water, and five people were lying on top of each other in it.

Half of his body was buried in the water, his body rotted and formed a large wound in a bowl, and yellow pus was continuously dripping out. The dark river spreads.

The water of the dark river flows into the ancient well, into the Xiangjiang River, which sings every night, and into thousands of households.

Xiao Liu is fourteen years old this year. He escaped from Liuzhou with his parents. His parents died of starvation on the road, and his family of nine survived.

Today a master from the city came and asked everyone to gather in the middle of the refugee slum, saying that there was work for everyone to do.

Having a job equals having money, Xiao Liu ran extremely fast among the ragged crowd, his eyes were full of hope.With money, you can buy a household registration in Shangjing, you can leave the refugee slum and go outside, and you can find a place with flowers and grass to bury the younger sister's bones. The younger sister likes flowers the most.

When he arrived at the place, Xiao Liu found a place in the front row to stand, with his head held high and his chest held high, waiting for the master to come.

A large flat bluestone was placed in the front of the open space. Xiao Liu knew that it was for the master to stand and speak. Just when his scorching eyes were about to burn the bluestone out of the hole, the much-anticipated master finally arrived late.

Xiao Liu stretched his head on his feet to watch, just caught a glimpse of the slanted hat, and was almost squeezed out by the excited crowd behind him, Xiao Liu turned his head and stared at the crowd, "It's a rotten thing with pus and boils, I want to kill your grandpa!" Squeeze out? Don't even think about it!"

The master stood on the bluestone with his hands behind his back, and coughed in a pretentious manner, "My fellow citizens..."

The opening sentence completely won the hearts of the refugees. They fled from the north all the way, and they received countless stares. They even disliked the density. This master was the first to treat them as "siblings", so they were silent for a while and concentrated on listen to him speak.

Xiao Liu finally saw the master's appearance clearly. He was wearing a navy blue straight gown and stepped on a pair of soap boots.The eyebrows and eyes are very close together, and it is a long and generous portrait.

Xiao Liu focused on observing the master's appearance, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the expressions of the people around him had changed. The cowardice and decadence were gone, replaced by enigmatic fanaticism.

As the master's lips moved continuously, the fanatical emotions in the refugee shelter continued to ferment.

In a place like a refugee camp, you are accompanied by despair all day long, and the emptiness in your heart and spirit is the most tormenting. Once there is someone who can guide them, the spirits of thousands of people will twist together and follow that person, hoping A sustenance, that person will become - God and Buddha.

Xiao Liu was terrified for no reason, he tugged at the people beside him, but was frightened away by his frenzied and strange expression, Xiao Liu squeezed through the crowd and ran in the opposite direction, the rocks tripped him, his elbows and knees rubbed against each other Broken large bloodstains.

He heard the overwhelming shouts behind him, and the sound waves hit him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.

"The temptress wronged the country! The temptress wronged the country! It was the temptress who harmed Liuzhou, and she was cut to death by a thousand swords! Thousands of cuts to death!"
