Emperor of Hongshi

"By the way, how is your injury? Is it serious?"

Junqing sat at the table, looking at Hongshi's arm wrapped in white cloth, his eyes were full of worry.

Hongshi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a little skin trauma, and it will be fine in a few days. Now, the refugee issue has been resolved, but there is still one thing that remains unresolved."

Junqing understood, "What is it that makes everyone in Lu'an County look miserable?"

Hiroshi nodded thoughtfully, "Looking at them, it's not because they are worried about making a living, it can only be about other things."

"Although this Zhang Huaiyuan is a bit cowardly, his ability is not small, and seeing that he built Xinmin Village a long time ago, it can be seen that this person is sincerely thinking about the common people, so it cannot be because of the arrogance of an official. Fu, that's why it hurts so much.

Although the people in the General Military Mansion are arrogant, they can't hinder ordinary people from doing anything, and it's not because of them. "

Looking at Hongshi, Junqing analyzed slowly.

"What's going on?" Hong Shi was even more confused.

"Actually, you don't have to be so entangled. If you want to know what's going on, just ask him?" Junqing said, looking at Zhang Huaiyuan who had just entered.

Hongshi smiled knowingly, that's right, this Zhang Huaiyuan is the parent officer of Lu'an County, no matter how big things happen here, he knows, just ask him directly about such things, why should I worry about it for a long time.

When Zhang Huaiyuan approached and Hongshi expressed his doubts, Zhang Huaiyuan's face changed drastically.

He dismissed all the servants in the room, glanced outside, closed the door tightly, and walked in front of Hongshi and Junqing.

This move of his made Hongshi and Junqing very depressed. What kind of thing needs to be so nervous and so cautious in the county office?

"Master Zhang, you are..."

Hongshi didn't say what he said next, even if he didn't say it, Zhang Huaiyuan knew what he was going to say, so he just put his hand to his lips and "hush".

Then, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "The lower official knows what the little elder brother wants to ask, but this matter is really a bit scary. It seems to be related to ghosts and gods. The lower official dare not speculate."

As Zhang Huaiyuan spoke, he secretly glanced at the top of his head, making it seem like something was going on.

"It has something to do with ghosts and gods? How is this possible?" Hongshi chuckled in disbelief, a little helpless.

Although he was educated in feudalism since he was a child, he has never been superstitious, so when he heard Zhang Huaiyuan's words, his first reaction was to not believe it.

Even so, he couldn't directly refute Zhang Huaiyuan, so he could only suppress his thoughts and ask Zhang Huaiyuan what was going on.

Zhang Huaiyuan struggled for a while, and then told Hongshi everything.

It turns out that for some reason, Lu'an County has been losing young women since years ago, and these women are all unmarried women of upright age.

Later, slowly, I finally found the women who had been lost before, but they all had one characteristic. These women were all dead, and they were skin and bones, and their bodies were extremely shriveled. Not a single injury.

This kind of situation is weird, but someone spread the news later, Lu'an County was a mass grave before, and then it was built as a county.

What happened to those women is probably done by the ghosts here, otherwise, if it was done by ordinary people, how could there be no wounds?

Then the incident intensified, many people were panicked, and young women continued to disappear and die.

But there is no clue about the murderer, so it is confusing that this is a ghost. Many people with daughters have moved away to other counties because they couldn't bear such things and were frightened.

Hong Shi frowned when he heard this, "Do you not care about such a big news? Just let those people move away and be displaced?"

"It's not that the lower officials don't care about it, but that there is no way to control it. Everyone is spreading the word that even if they are displaced, at least they can save their daughter's life if they go to other counties, but staying here is a dead end."

Zhang Huaiyuan wiped the cold sweat off his brow with his hand before continuing:

"Although the old lady of the General Military Mansion used to be domineering, she wasn't so unreasonable. She didn't see her grandson getting married, she was thinking of her grandson-in-law, and she didn't want anything to interrupt her grandson's wedding, so she stubbornly wanted to send those refugees away. kicked out."

Hong Shi frowned and nodded, and it was true that this matter was not easy to deal with, but it was simply impossible for him to believe that it was the work of ghosts and gods.

"Well, leave this matter to me and Junqing, and we will settle it. You first calculate how many unmarried women there are in Lu'an County. It is best to strengthen protection. Such things can be reduced one by one. "

Zhang Huaiyuan had a headache for this matter, he didn't know what to do, and was still thinking about whether to report it to the court.

Now, since Hongshi wants to take care of this matter, he will naturally not refuse.

Although Hongshi was only twelve or thirteen years old, he was very convinced. Through dealing with the refugees, his demeanor towards the old lady and his concern for the people had already convinced him.

Although he looks small, there is always a feeling in front of him that as long as he is around, there is nothing he can't solve.

Although he is a young boy, he is more trustworthy than adults.

Therefore, Zhang Huaiyuan still wouldn't believe it if someone else said that this matter was to be handed over to him, but he was extremely convinced that this person was Hongshi.

Therefore, after listening to Hongshi's instructions, he did not have the slightest doubt. After saying goodbye, he hurriedly went to do what Hongshi told him.

"Are you sure you want to stay and settle this matter?"

Junqing looked at Hongshi and asked, a little worried whether Hongshi could solve it.

Although Hongshi has been taught by him in the past few years, but he himself is not sure about things, can Hongshi really do it?

"Ok!"

Hongshi nodded solemnly, he was not joking, and this matter cannot be joked.

"The young women who were murdered were all citizens of the Qing Dynasty, and as a member of the Aixinjueluo family, I must seek justice for them and find out who was behind the scenes so that the people can live a peaceful life. Don’t be afraid anymore, let alone let their lives be threatened, this is my inescapable responsibility as a member of the Aixinjueluo family!”

Hongshi said with firm eyes, Junqing was shocked by what he said.

In his impression, Hongshi has always been that kind of gentle and gentle, who looks like he needs protection. He has never seen Hongshi so tough.
