Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[one thirty zero]

Zhou Jinyu showed a look of fear, and the leader suddenly grinned: "Hey, there is no other meaning, I just think that since the groom has run away, you should be the groom."

Zhou Jinyu pointed at herself: "Me?" She shook her head: "No, I also have a wife at home."

The leader smiled and said persuasively: "It's okay, I'll tell you the truth, our lady won't live long, and you, the groom, come to their house, maybe you will be very popular in the future. Once a person dies, the huge family business of the Su family will belong to you."

Zhou Jinyu rubbed his chin, pretending to be really moved by his persuasion: "What you said...is really not unreasonable."

The leader said: "That's not true, since that's the case, then..."

Zhou Jinyu interrupted him suddenly: "But, I am not short of money. I can eat delicious food and drink spicy food. There is no need to do things that are sorry to my wife for the little money of the Su family."

Hearing what she said, the leader immediately couldn't hold back his face, but fortunately, he was so angry that he came up to grab her arm, tugged at her cuff and said, "I don't care about this, anyway. , this groom, you have to do it if you do it, and you have to do it if you don’t do it!"

Zhou Jinyu staggered from being pulled by him, and exclaimed, "Oh, my old waist!"

The housekeeper Liu Mu and the two guards showed anger when they saw this, and they wanted to come forward to save people.

Zhou Jinyu turned his head away, and gave them a secret face. Liu Mu was taken aback, and then waved to the two guards. They stood where they were, not knowing what Zhou Jinyu meant. Jin Yu was dragged away by them.

Zhou Jinyu followed these men back to the poplar grove. Someone led a horse and said in the lead, "Officer groom, please get on the horse. Let's send the bride to the next county, and come back to find the master to collect the money." , and the job is done."

A thin maroon horse stopped in front of her. Zhou Jinyu looked at the thin horse in front of her, and then at the big red sedan chair behind her, and smiled with the corners of her lips curled up: "Actually, I have always had something very I wonder, you said just now that the young lady of the Su family wants to recruit a son-in-law, but since she is looking for a son-in-law, why do you send her to the next county to get married?"

The leader was stunned: "This..." He suddenly became annoyed: "What do you care about so much, there is a big house bought by our master in the next county, and you newcomers go there to get married, and there is everything there!"

Zhou Jinyu rubbed his chin, suddenly realized, and said: "But this is not right, there was such a big commotion just now, and your lady didn't even show her face, and now the groom is a different person, replaced by Even without me, your lady didn't say anything, so to her, it doesn't matter who the groom is, or is it that your lady can't make up her mind at all right now." Having said that, Zhou Jin Yu's eyes narrowed, and she asked, "Is your young lady alive now?"

She asked this question very lightly, it seemed to be a casual sentence, very careless.

But the listeners were all shocked. The expressions on their faces were very ugly, but they were trying their best to suppress it. After all, the bearers who carried the sedan chair were found later. At that time, the Miss Su family had already arrived. After getting off the sedan chair, they didn't even know that they were carrying a dead person.

Seeing them like this, Zhou Jinyu knew he had guessed right.

She just wasn't sure if the bride inside was dead, but from what the groom said, the groom was originally a doctor, and Miss Su got a strange disease, and just now the leading man said that she would be dead sooner or later, so the inside At least some of them are too sick to speak.

It also occurred to me that the Su family was looking for a son-in-law, but went to Lin County to get married, so this matter is at least not as simple as it seems on the surface.

The man suddenly moved closer to her, and then wanted to put his arms around Zhou Jinyu's shoulders to get close. Zhou Jinyu couldn't accept such a man covered in sweat to have any physical contact with her, so she backed away He took a step, but still had a smile that was not a smile.

The man hesitated to speak but said: "My lord, we have something to talk about."

Zhou Jinyu smiled: "Ah... I also want to have something to say, but your attitude towards me just now obviously didn't mean to talk about it."

The man suddenly bent down, clasped his fists at her and said, "My lord, I'm sorry, I was the one who was reckless just now."

Zhou Jinyu waved his hand casually: "Forget it, you can also want me to be the groom, but you have to tell me why your lady was transported to another county for burial?"

The man was taken aback: "How do you know that my young lady will be sent to Lin County for burial?"

But he thought about it again, and suddenly he came to understand. Since the young man in front of him could guess that his young lady was already dead, he could naturally guess the reason for sending her away.

The man sighed, made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Jinyu, and said, "My lord, let's take a moment to talk."

Zhou Jinyu nodded, and followed the man to an old poplar tree. Zhou Jinyu looked at him and raised his eyebrows, indicating that he could speak.

The man sighed again: "Oh, it's not a good thing, but let me tell you the truth. After the flood in Jinjiang in our county, many people died. You know that?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Yes, I know."

The man said: "But do you know that the deaths in our county this time are not only because of drowning, but also because of illness."

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback, and asked, "Are you sick? What kind of sickness? Is it... an epidemic?"

The man nodded, then shook his head: "We think so, but the government is pressing this matter tightly, saying don't scare people, it's just a common disease, but since this incident, people have started to die. Some died of fever, the government came and took those who died of fever away, and then set fire to them, and said that if anyone in any family showed signs of fever, they would tell the government in time."

Zhou Jinyu was almost certain that this was undoubtedly a plague, but for some reason, he was suppressed by the local government.

Zhou Jinyu asked: "Then what does this have to do with your lady going to Lin County for burial?"

The man smiled wryly: "Of course it does. You don't know, my lord. This disease is contagious. Once someone in the family dies of the disease, then on the [-]th, the rest of the family will be finished. If the Su family is killed by the government If someone is found to have the disease, Master Su will be taken away by the government."

Zhou Jinyu understood completely, and she nodded, "That's why you secretly sent people out on the pretext of getting married."

The man said: "That's right, young master, it's just a formality to ask you to be the groom's official. After the person is sent to the funeral, then the matter will be over. We can't just carry the bride to Lin County, right?" .”

Zhou Jinyu suddenly remembered that he might have been tricked by the bridegroom official. He knew the bride was already dead, and he didn't want to pay homage to the dead, so he ran away desperately.

Zhou Jinyu thought helplessly, was he being taken for a ride?

Suddenly, two "swish" sounds came from my ears, which were more urgent than the sound of the wind.

She tilted her head, and saw Jinfeng hidden in the tall bushes. Jinfeng was hiding in the green, obviously looking for a chance to save her.

Zhou Jinyu saw that he had already obtained the information he wanted to ask, so he winked at Jinfeng.

The next moment, Jin Feng had already landed on the ground. Seeing this "hero" who had descended from the sky, the group of people in the welcoming team immediately became vigilant and panicked. They only dared to watch from a distance, but did not dare to come forward.

Jinfeng held a sword in his hand, and a long black gown fluttered in the wind. A strand of long hair covered by the corner of his eyes moved with the wind. Zhou Jinyu clicked his tongue.

Jin Feng's sword hadn't been revealed yet, but he said coldly: "Let her go."

The man next to Zhou Jinyu recalled, he looked at Zhou Jinyu a little annoyed, but he was very sensible. After all, the man holding the knife in front of him looked like he was licking blood from the edge of the knife, and he was definitely not his kind of servant Levels can be provoked.

So, he took a step back and let Zhou Jinyu out.

Jinfeng said coldly: "Get out!"

The man smiled very sensiblely and said: "I offended you, the little one will leave immediately."

After he finished speaking, it didn't matter whether this "marriage" needed a groom or not, life-saving was the most important thing.

So he turned around and ran away.

After a while, all the lively crowd in the entire poplar grove ran away in an instant. Only Zhou Jinyu and Jinfeng stood in place, facing the gentle breeze, feeling that everything became quiet in an instant.

Very peace of mind.

Zhou Jinyu showed Jin Feng a mouthful of white teeth and smiled, thanked him, and was about to rush into the city.

She learned from the man just now that there is an epidemic in Yong'an County, but at this time the government obviously wants to suppress this matter.

You must know that the epidemic is contagious, and if it is not treated, the consequences will be disastrous.

After every major natural disaster, there will always be some unexpected epidemics.

For example, there was a severe drought in Shu in the early years, and a plague of locusts broke out again. The sky was full of locusts, and the locusts ate the crops. In the end, farmers lost their crops and many people were displaced.

The same is true now, although the source of the disease is not yet known, but it is obvious that the disease has already appeared, and if it is not controlled in time, obviously more people will die.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu suddenly yelled, "It's not good!

Just now when she came here, she met the villagers who were stationed outside the county. Several of them were lying on the ground, dying. At first, she thought that those villagers were too hungry. Now that she thought about it, they were most likely sick.

At this time, she and Jin Feng had arrived at the gate of the city, and Liu Mu and the two guards were still waiting for her at the gate of the city.

Liu Mu came up to meet him, saluted and said, "My son-in-law, you escaped?" He tilted his head and looked at Jin Feng again: "This is...?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Oh, let me introduce, this is the guard of Jinfengjin, who is with us."

Liu Mu and Jinfeng saluted each other, and then listened to Zhou Jinyu instructing one of the accompanying guards. The guard took the order, immediately turned around and mounted his horse, and galloped away.

Zhou Jinyu was slightly relieved, hoping that the villagers would heed her warning and isolate those who were sick.

Zhou Jinyu and the others re-entered the county. This is the county seat, and the impact of the flood was not serious. There were a few pedestrians walking around on the street, but there were not many people.

Zhou Jinyu went to the inn with Jinfeng and others to settle down. She made an agreement with Zhang Lu that the first inn she saw after entering the city would be her place to stay.

After entering the inn, I found out that there is a son named Zhang Lu staying here.

But the waiter said that Zhang Lu went out early in the morning and would not come back until evening.

Zhou Jinyu didn't say much, she was already exhausted from walking all the way, presumably everyone else was also exhausted, so she asked everyone to rest first, as for the business, she had to wait for Zhang Lu to inquire about the news before making a decision.

And she went to the room on the second floor, washed up briefly, got on the bed, and took a nap with her eyes closed.

She had just fallen asleep for a while when she was suddenly awakened by voices from the next room.

The voice was so low that she almost held her breath and pressed her ears to the wall to hear what they were saying.

A man's voice came: "Is that person already inside?"

"Yes, my lord, he didn't wear an official uniform, he only said he was a merchant."

"My lord, shall we do it tonight?"

The man replied coldly: "No need, wait a little longer and see what this Zhou man wants to do!"
