The little fox does not want to hide the cub

Jiang Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This little fox of his family, no matter how he looks like a big monster when he casts spells, he is still a little fool at heart.

It was clearly discussed before going out just now.

"Hurry up, don't laugh." Li Ruan urged, frowning unhappily.

Jiang Shen coughed lightly, and said seriously: "You ask him first, if he knows what the cause of the strange disease in the village is."

Li Ruan looked at the village head again, and asked the original question.

Village head Li sat on the spot, listened to the words, and slowly shook his head: "I don't know."

Jiang Shen continued to ask: "Then do you know why the government locks up those patients?"

Village head Li still shook his head: "I don't know."

Jiang Shen frowned, and asked again: "Knowing that the government is imprisoning patients without treatment, why didn't you stop them, why didn't you save them, and why did you help the government to hide the villagers?"

He asked several questions in a row, and after Li Ruan repeated them, he saw that Village Chief Li's expression changed.

The old man suddenly began to tremble all over, and his eyes were covered with red.He said in a trembling voice: "How to stop, how to save people, that's the official..."

Jiang Shen was taken aback.

That's right, they are just a group of ordinary people. They were even taken away because the young and middle-aged people in the village were sick, leaving only the old, weak, women and children at home.

Facing the government, how could they have the confidence to resist.

The vast majority of people can only choose to help the government to hide it together in order to protect themselves and the only remaining family members like the boy in the village.

Jiang Shen closed his eyes.

He's still too limited.

The hand on the table was gently held by someone, Jiang Shen opened his eyes, and met the worried look of the young man.

"It's okay." Jiang Shen patted his hand, thought for a moment, and continued to ask: "So, before you reported to the government, you didn't expect that the government would lock them up."

Village Chief Li: "...Yes."

Jiang Shen took a sip of his tea and fell silent again.

I don't know where the strange disease came from, I don't know why the government concealed the news, and even before reporting to the government, I didn't know that the government would do this.

This Village Chief Li, does he really know nothing?

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

No, not right.

How could he not know anything, he obviously——

Jiang Shen's eyes darkened, and he asked again: "Since you don't know where this strange disease comes from, why didn't you tell him all the symptoms of the villagers when you asked Cao Xianqing to treat them? Why did you hide the fact that the villagers had lost consciousness? Illness?"

After hearing this question, Village Chief Li trembled again.

He trembled extremely violently, as if he was struggling with all his strength, trying to break free from something.

Jiang Shen looked at Li Ruan: "What happened to him?"

"He wanted to hide this secret, so he wanted to break free from my control." Li Ruan looked at the trembling old man in front of him with a sullen face, and the red light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Village Chief Li, you promised me that you would not lie to me."

Li Ruan spoke softly, his voice was almost bewitching: "It's okay, just tell me, I want to know."

The old man's trembling body stopped.

Under the control of psychedelic art, the old man's expression became even more numb than before, and even his tone of voice seemed a little indifferent.

"Confusion...it's not this disease...I don't know, it shouldn't be because of this disease..." Village Chief Li murmured.

Jiang Shen frowned: "Do you know what caused the villagers' confusion?"

"I know." Village Chief Li nodded slowly, "It's the magistrate, he gave me the medicine."

Jiang Shen: "What medicine?"

"They said that it was a forbidden drug from a foreign country. After taking it, people would be full of energy and would not feel tired no matter how much work they did."

"Spring plowing is coming soon. The magistrate said that taking this medicine will make it easier for everyone to work."

"Master Zhifu used to bring some new things to the village, such as seeds of vegetables, fruits and grains, or new agricultural tools. I found a few people to test the medicine, and after taking it, they were able to do several times more work than usual, and they were full of energy. , not feeling tired at all.”

"The only disadvantage is that when the effect of the medicine is about to wear off, the consciousness will be a little confused, but it will be fine soon like drinking too much wine."

Therefore, when some people in the village became confused and talked nonsense at first, the village head thought that maybe some people had taken too much medicine, and it would be better when the medicine's effects wore off.

But later, the condition of the villagers became more and more serious, and other symptoms began to appear, so the village head had to ask for a doctor.

When the magistrate gave him the medicine, he told him that it was a forbidden medicine from a foreign country and that no one should know about it.He was worried that Dr. Cao would find out the banned drug, so he dared not mention the previous symptoms of the villagers.

Until the condition deteriorated, even Dr. Cao could not cure the strange disease, the village chief had no choice but to ask the government office for help.

The result was that the government took the patients away for unified treatment.

"Master Zhifu said that this strange illness is not caused by that medicine, but by another reason." Village Chief Li looked distracted, but tears kept pouring out of his eyes, "There must be another reason for the strange illness, not me... I didn't intend to harm them, it wasn't me..."

"Very stupid." Jiang Shen looked at him coldly, "What about the medicine, is there any left? Hand over the medicine."

Village Chief Li shook his head: "The magistrate only gives medicine every three days. Since the villagers started to get sick, the medicine has been stopped... There is no medicine, no more."

Jiang Shen helped Village Chief Li lie back on the bed.The latter's eyes were tightly closed, and he looked as if he was asleep, but he also seemed to be sleeping unsteadily, with some tears remaining on his face.

"He will be fine once he sleeps." Li Ruan explained, "I just changed his memory. When he wakes up, he won't remember that we have been here, nor will he remember what we said to us. But …When he wakes up, he should go to the Ministry of Punishment and surrender himself.”

People controlled by psychedelics will act according to the wishes of the controller. Li Ruan had implanted the idea of ​​"surrender to the government" in his subconscious just now, so he would definitely do as he woke up.

Jiang Shen responded in a low voice, and returned to the table.

"Are you tired?" Jiang Shen asked.

Li Ruan was still sitting where he was, looking up at him, finally showing a bit of fatigue: "A little bit."

How much the psychedelic technique consumes depends on the character of the person being manipulated.Some people who are not firm enough can get out of the way with almost no effort, but some... are really tiring.

Li Ruan buried his head in Jiang Shen's arms, and rubbed it lightly: "It seems that he can't accept the fact that he has harmed the whole village."

The village chief subconsciously refused to accept the truth, and was unwilling to tell others the truth. It took Li Ruan a lot of effort to trick him into telling the truth.

Jiang Shen bent down to hug him, touched the back of his neck, and said in a low voice, "Let's rest for a while, I'll take you back."

Li Ruan was so tired that his eyelids were twitching, but he was still worried, and asked with all his strength, "Do you already know what to do? Do you want to try someone else again? That prefect..."

Jiang Shendao: "I will think of a way again, don't worry."

"Oh……"

As soon as Li Ruan said this response, her body suddenly went limp, and she fell down as if she had no bones.

Jiang Shen quickly caught him.

Looking again, the boy had closed his eyes, breathed evenly, and fell into a deep sleep.

She fell asleep in a second, and she seemed really tired.

Jiang Shen sighed lightly.

Li Ruan fell asleep for a long time, and when she woke up again, it was almost dark outside.

He rubbed his eyes and realized that he was back in the same room as last night.

Jiang Shen lay beside him, seemingly still asleep.

Li Ruan raised his head and looked at him secretly.

The more he looked at Jiang Shen, the more he felt that his luck in choosing the furnace was really good, and he could wait for such a good-looking furnace just by waiting.No, it should be said that Ah Xue's vision is really good, if he hadn't let Jiang Shen in, they wouldn't have known each other.

It has been said in many story books that it is fate that two people can get to know each other many lifetimes ago.Recently, Li Ruan occasionally feels that he and Jiang Shen should be destined.

That's why at that time, Jiang Shen was so just right to go to Changming Mountain.

Therefore, even if they almost separated halfway, and ended up with a strange combination of circumstances, they still came together.

Maybe they really met Jiang Shen in his previous lives.

It's just that Li Ruan lost the memory of the past, and he couldn't remember it.

"If that's the case, you are actually very important." Li Ruan muttered softly.

Ascension has always been his long-cherished wish, but maybe Jiang Shen is too.

He didn't remember why he wanted to ascend, and he didn't remember if he had met Jiang Shen before, what if he had met Jiang Shen before?

What if...he really owes Jiang Shen the fate of the first life?

He used to try to ascend once every few decades, and those times were just the lifetime of a mortal.

If you miss one ascension, there will be another one, but if you miss this person, can he still wait for the next one?

Li Ruan once heard that the reincarnation well in the underworld is very crowded, and it may take decades or even hundreds of years for a soul to reincarnate once.After a long time, some souls will even dissipate directly beside the reincarnation well, and they will never be found again.

"What should I do..." Li Ruan was a little distressed.

"You should kiss me." Jiang Shen said suddenly.

There was a little smile on his face, but he didn't open his eyes yet, and his voice sounded sleepy: "Why didn't you take the initiative to kiss me, it's not like you."

"Am I the kind of person who will take advantage of others while they are asleep?" Li Ruan was dissatisfied, "I am obviously thinking about business."

"Really?" Jiang Shen chuckled, turned over and pressed Li Ruan into his arms.

Ever since Li Ruan became pregnant with the cub, she has never been able to return to her youthful appearance.He is very thin now, there is no part of his body that is not soft, and he hardly resists when he is hugged, and he is easily controlled by Jiang Shen.

Jiang Shen clasped the back of the opponent's head with one hand, wrapped his waist with the other, buried his head in the socket of the opponent's shoulder with his eyes closed, rubbed against each other, then raised his head slightly and kissed the sensitive skin on the side of the neck.

Li Ruan flinched, and just as she was about to hide, Jiang Shen kissed her lips.

After a while, Jiang Shen was satisfied and let go of him, before asking: "Are you thinking about those questions that you can't think of anyway? How do you think, let me hear?"

Li Ruan's ears were red from being kissed by him, she gasped twice and turned her head: "I won't tell you."

Jiang Shen: "Why?"

Seduce people all the time, and then refuse to give after teasing, and get angry.

Li Ruan said angrily: "Anyway, I won't tell you."

Jiang Shen pinched his face: "You're still angry, but I'm not angry at all."

Li Ruan was puzzled: "Why are you angry?"

"……nothing."

Rationally, he knew that the little fox was helping, and he had spent a lot of cultivation for himself, but after witnessing the little fox talking to others like that, he was still subtly and very unhappy.

He can't be allowed to cast such a deadly spell in the future.

Jiang Shen knew that he was very naive, so he didn't want to mention it any more, and asked again: "Are you feeling better, are you still tired?"

"Not tired." Li Ruan said.

He was just a little tired when he cast the spell, but he fully recovered after taking a nap, not to mention that Jiang Shen was always by his side and had a steady supply of essence.

Speaking of these, Li Ruan recalled the information he had just learned at the village chief's house, and hurriedly asked: "How is the capital, has the magistrate caught it? Has it been interrogated?"

Jiang Shen's expression was slightly restrained: "When you fell asleep just now, Yu Xiu came back."

Li Ruan: "And then?"

"After receiving the news, the Ministry of Punishment immediately sent people to surround the government office and the magistrate's house, but..." Jiang Shen said, "He died."

Li Ruan opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Jiang Shen sighed: "According to the servants in the prefect's house, the prefect said that he was not feeling well after dinner yesterday, and shut himself in the bedroom to prevent anyone from approaching him. When the people from the Ministry of punishment arrived today, they kicked open the door , people have been hanged on the beams.”

Li Ruan asked: "Did you commit suicide in fear of crime?"

"It is said that judging from the scene, it does look like a suicide, but the details will not be known until after the inspection." Jiang Shendao, "Now the prefect's family, as well as everyone in the government office, have been brought back to the Ministry of Punishment to await trial. Yu Xiu was afraid that I would be anxious to wait for the news, so he came back to report first."

"It's so strange..." Li Ruan wondered, "No one left this village last night, how did the news get to the capital? Besides, we only caught the master in the middle of the night yesterday, why did the magistrate seem to be in advance? Did you know something was going to happen a long time ago?"

Jiang Shen: "Maybe...someone has been secretly watching this village and knows that we are investigating this matter."

They arrived at this village at dusk yesterday, if it is said that the magistrate will receive some news in advance, that is the only possibility.

Li Ruan still didn't understand: "But, he's so sure, can you find out the whole truth? You...don't even struggle anymore?"

Even when Mr. Wu was caught on the spot last night, he didn't even think about taking the opportunity to escape. The magistrate is too courageous.

Jiang Shen thought for a moment: "From this point of view, Master Wu might not know about forbidden drugs at all."

According to the law of this dynasty, reselling prohibited drugs will at least be in prison for several years.In particular, the government knew the law and broke the law, causing so many people to suffer from strange diseases. If this series of incidents are found out, this life may not be saved.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the prefect to commit suicide in fear of crime, but Master Wu now looks more like he knows nothing and is regarded as an abandoned son.

"Then what should we do?" Li Ruan was worried, "Psychedelics don't work on dead people."

Jiang Shen was also worried at first, but was amused by his little fox's words.He rubbed the man in his arms, and said: "It's okay, since the matter has been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they will be fully responsible for the next matter, and we don't have to do it ourselves."

Li Ruan raised his head: "Then shall we go back to the palace?"

The little fox has been playing outside for a long time, and he doesn't want to go back to the palace anymore.

Jiang Shen actually didn't really want to go back to Beijing right now.Therefore, in the letter to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he also specifically mentioned that if you want to report this matter to the Holy One, don't say that he found it out.

The current crown prince should still be recuperating in the palace.

Jiang Shen thought for a while and replied, "Well, let's go back to the palace."

The village is some distance away from the palace, and it's almost dark today, so they didn't delay any longer, got dressed and went out.

Yu Xiu stayed outside the door.

Seeing the two people coming out, Yu Xiu stepped forward: "Your Highness..."

Jiang Shen led Li Ruan out of the courtyard in big strides, while walking, he ordered: "Prepare the horse, my son and I will go back now—"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and saw the person standing outside the yard.

It turned out to be Eunuch Chang.

Jiang Shen: "..."

Eunuch Chang followed a carriage, saw Jiang Shen coming out, and greeted him with a smile: "His Royal Highness, don't come here without any harm."

"Your Majesty heard that there was a strange disease in Rongxia Village. His Highness personally investigated deeply and was deeply worried. He specially ordered this old servant to come and take a look. Since His Highness has recovered from his illness, let him go home with this old slave."

Jiang Shen and him looked at each other for a moment, then looked back at Li Ruan who was still in a daze.

Made a look.

The next moment, His Royal Highness, who was still walking like flying, suddenly tilted his head and coughed violently: "Cough cough cough——"

Eunuch Chang: "..."

He coughed so badly that he couldn't even stand upright, his body was on the verge of falling.

Li Ruan quickly supported him, and shouted worriedly: "Jiang Shen, are you feeling sick again, are you dizzy and want to vomit, and you can't even ride in a carriage? Okay, we won't leave tonight, I'll help you Go back to your room and rest!"

Eunuch Chang: "..."
