043 Dive into Yingchuan Prefecture

Meng Liu found Chen Biyue early, but due to Qin Zhao and Jiang Liao, he hid far away in the dark and waited for Jiang Liao and the others to leave before he dared to show up.

When I returned to the official road, I saw corpses standing upside down around me. It was not a place for me to stay for a long time. I drove forward for a long time before I stopped.

During this period, when Wen Ci was unconscious, Chen Biyue couldn't help but ask Meng Liu: "How much effort did you use? Why did she sleep for so long?"

Meng Liu thought Chen Biyue was blaming him, so he touched his head awkwardly, "The villain was in a hurry to find the girl, but he didn't pay attention..."

Chen Biyue left Mo Sheng to guard Wen Ci and talk to Meng Liu outside the car.

"It's okay, it's okay to not wake up. Later, we will come to the intersection in front. Let's take action separately. You can go with her and Mo Sheng. You can do whatever you want. You must hold her back before I come back and don't let her notice it."

Although this sneak attack was thrilling, it was time to at least find a way to get rid of Wen Ci.

Meng Liuben came out together to protect Chen Biyue. How could he turn around and protect a maid who likes to show off his face?

"Girl, let the villain follow you. Yingchuan is in a mess. If the girl encounters any danger, it is better to take care of each other if she has a villain."

Mo Sheng was sitting in the car and could vaguely hear the words outside. As soon as she caught the word Yingchuan, she felt a move in her heart. She had passed by Yingchuan when she was running away, so she was very familiar with this name.

I said something outside for a while, and soon Chen Biyue got into the car.

As soon as Mo Sheng opened the car door for her, he heard a faint moan from behind. She couldn't help but think too much, and immediately turned around and rushed back. Another palm slashed Wen Ci, who was about to wake up, and the force of this was no less than that of Meng Liu.

As soon as Chen Biyue stepped in, she saw this scene and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, "..."

The carriage continued to go on the road, and stopped when it reached the fork intersection. Mo Sheng took the bag and walked with Chen Biyue. Meng Liuzai walked towards another official road with Wen Ci.

Just now, there was a question on the carriage. Chen Biyue didn't say anything. Now that she got off the car, there were only two people left. She repeated what she had just said to Meng Liu to Mo Sheng.

It turns out that the word Yingchuan that I just heard was not a coincidence. This time the girl did not plan to go to Fengshui Prefecture, but to Yingchuan Prefecture. No wonder she had to leave Wenci, and she could not do anything with her surveillance.

It was almost noon at this time, and both of them were hungry. It took two hours to get all the way from the pipeline to the nearest station. Then they chose a slightly clean place in the forests on both sides of the official road and sat down to eat dry food.

A piece of cake, a pot of water, and a person divides half of it.

Mo Sheng gnawed the big cake, perhaps because he left the Chen Mansion, but he felt comfortable all over, and he felt like he was reborn, without being restrained by the Shen family.

"Girl, why did the Duke of the State agree to let the girl go back to Fengshui Prefecture? The rumors were so urgent. No matter what the reason was, as long as Fengshui Prefecture and the girl were put together, the people would be able to talk about it with relish."

"If you suppress the news, nothing will happen. Otherwise, you think why I chose a simple and ordinary carriage? The rest of the house has no objection to this. It is not that they really have no objection. Some are unaware of it, while others are convinced by their grandfather."

In fact, what Mo Sheng couldn't understand the most was why Chen Qi let someone go to Fengshui Prefecture. Chen Biyue didn't say much about the twists and turns here because there was no need.

The choices Chen Qi made were always influenced by external forces. She just used King Yu lightly, and he easily let it go. There was no need to say much to Mo Sheng.

Before the sky was completely dark, they had already reached the post station. Chen Biyue had already asked Mo Sheng to prepare the pass certificate and spend some money. It was easy to get into a small room. The room was simple, damp and airy. The master and servant stayed together all night.

The next day, he got up before dawn. When someone came to send firewood over, he grabbed their car and rented a carriage to the nearby county town. He rushed to the whole day and entered the territory of Yingchuan Prefecture when it was completely dark.

I found an inn nearby to stay. Before registering my name, Chen Biyue asked specifically, "Shopkeeper, your inn looks quite spacious and clean, and you can't see any customers. Is there any problem?"

The lobby was empty, with only one or two tables of people eating. The restaurant staff wiped the uninhabited tables and chairs. It looked not very interested and a little listless.

The shopkeeper sighed, "The girl came from another place. I don't know that something happened in Yingchuanzhou recently. If the people outside don't come, the people inside also take refuge, so there will naturally be fewer people."

Seeing the shopkeeper opening the account, Chen Biyue posted his and Mo Sheng's names, and then continued to ask: "Although Yingchuanzhou is a little off, it is not a place where there are poor mountains and bad waters. What can happen? It is so serious that it needs shelter."

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Xindu County next door was still good before. A year ago, someone suddenly cultivated A Furong, which could survive in the wilderness area. Unlike the ordinary A Furong, it can only survive in a wet place. Every household began to plant it on a large scale, and many businessmen went there. Within half a year, every household in Xindu County became rich, and even the few county towns next door also made a profit. The incident happened last month. I don't know what happened, a small number of people in Xindu County suddenly gathered in front of the county government, yelling that the county magistrate secretly killed their relatives' lives and insisted that the county magistrate pay their lives."

When Chen Biyue heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "How could the people in the government harm the lives of the people? It's really nonsense."

"No, everyone was surprised at first, but later they learned that since Xindu County's business became prosperous, many people became more and more greedy and began to secretly reduce tribute and lose taxes, which also involved many lives. They felt that all this was because the government deliberately raised taxes, which made them have to reduce taxes. After the county magistrate ordered them to investigate them, they became angry and joined forces to make trouble, asking the government to reduce taxes and exempt taxes."

"What's going on now? Didn't the superior send someone to take care of it?"

"The matter is so big, why didn't you send someone here? I heard that Prince Yu came here in person this time. Those ordinary people were in trouble. Some people said that when Prince Yu entered Xindu County, he saw someone slashing and blood was splattering everywhere. He ignored whether it was the yamen or the common people. It was too cruel." The shopkeeper realized that he had made a mistake after he said that, and quickly slapped him.

"Shopkeeper, can Xindu County still go in now?"

"Okay, girl, I would like to advise you not to go there. It's a lot of chaos. Those people who are making trouble have been in a stalemate for a long time. It is said that many people have died. Many people dare not go there, for fear that one will accidentally become their dead soul."

I didn't dare, it wasn't impossible, it meant that I could still go in there. Chen Biyue didn't ask any further. After paying the deposit, she went upstairs with the shopkeeper to check the room.

After lunch, Mo Sheng went out to inquire about the news, and Chen Biyue stayed in the room to rest.

Her physical foundation is not good. Although she has been soaked and cultivated by her mental methods, she has been running around like this and the coat that can keep the cold best was destroyed by the assassin. She is worn thinly and exposed to the cold air, and it is inevitable that she will catch a cold easily. Now she only feels her nose is stuffy and the tinnitus is not yet at its worst.

He took out the medicine he brought out in advance, swallowed two pills with water, lay down and slept for a while, and slept until midnight.

Mo Sheng sat beside the bed and was guarding her, with a quilt under her butt and body covered in bed. She was dozing off when she heard the sound of Chen Biyue waking up and was awakened.

"Why don't you go to bed?" Chen Biyue sat up and pressed her nose. She was not as uncomfortable as before going to bed. It seemed that the medicine she took before going to bed had worked.

Mo Sheng rubbed his eyes, "What do the girl think?"

When she came back, the girl was already asleep, breathing heavily and with a slight snoring sound, which sounded a bit like a symptom of wind and cold. When she looked at the medicine in the package, there were signs of being turned.

"It's okay, I'm a little tired, so I've fallen asleep a little bit." She lay back on her warm quilt, gently covering the back of her hands on her eyes. After sleeping for too long, she would feel dizzy even if she suddenly fell asleep.

"The girl hasn't eaten tonight, are you hungry?"

"It's so late, even the shopkeeper in the inn should sleep tightly. Isn't there any dry food in the package? Just eat some with tea."

Mo Sheng brought the dry food and turned around to boil some hot water in the backyard. The inn specially prepared a place for the guests to boil water, which saved the need for water at night and had to go to call the shop assistant.

Chen Biyue stopped her, "No need for tea, please eat it like this. Did you eat it tonight?"

Mo Sheng shook his head, returned to the bedside, and sat down again on the bedding spread on the ground.

Chen Biyue gave her half of it. She was about to refuse, but Chen Biyue said, "You went out today, did you ask what useful things?"

"The people rioted suddenly and surrounded the entire government office overnight. When they saw someone coming out of the government office, they immediately rushed forward and bitten it and fought, just like they were desperate."

"Bit?" Chen Biyue caught a keyword in an instant.

"These news is transmitted from people to people, and it is impossible to distinguish between real and fake, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that things are not as simple as the shopkeeper said. Xindu County is now divided into two camps, one is the people who are causing trouble, and the other is the officials of the government. The people seem to have a special hatred for the government. Every day, they try their best to rush into the government office to catch people, smash stones, throw hornet's nests, pour oil and burn fire, and do everything. If there was no well in the yamen, the method of burning should have been effective as soon as possible."

"Why is the matter so serious? What about King Yu? What about him?"

"It's rare, but one is accurate. Someone saw King Yu kill an ordinary citizen with his own eyes."

Chen Biyue was stunned, "Hands?"

"They are all saying that the person killed by King Yu should be his own hands." Mo Sheng was not sure.

Chen Biyue chewed the cake and didn't say anything. She said that the person who killed the common people was Shao Yan. She didn't doubt it, but if she wanted to say that she was killed by herself, then that person would never be Shao Yan. He would go crazy when he saw the blood, how could he kill people with his own hands?

At noon the next day, they left the inn after using meals. Perhaps because they were afraid that they would really go to Xindu County, the shopkeeper gave them a thick hemp rope to protect themselves before leaving.

Xindu County is just three kilometers west, and it only takes half an hour to ride a carriage.

When they arrived at the entrance of Xindu County, the yamen was empty. At this time, they truly understood what it means to not dare to enter. There was no one guarding him. It was because of this that people felt even more scared.

The two of them did not go in immediately. They had already finished the package last night and had hidden everything they should bring.

"Mo Sheng, have you remembered what I told you last night?" Chen Biyue looked at the empty yamen room and felt a little uneasy.

"I've remembered it. As long as I find Madam Qinghe, I'll take her out of Xindu County immediately."

The inn we stayed at last night had not checked out yet. They had already paid three days in advance for the room. This time they came to Yingchuanzhou to find Madam Qinghe.

In the latest letter to Chen Biyue, Madam Qinghe talked about her cousin in Yingchuanzhou being sick and she planned to visit her. The day she wrote the letter was exactly the third day after Shao Yan left. Wu Zheng was afraid that she would worry, so he did not send a message to inform her that even he was missing. He must have gone to Yingchuanzhou to find Madam Qinghe.

The two of them went in one after another, and as soon as they entered, they walked to both sides. Before coming in, they bought a map of Xindu County and studied it and memorized the route.

Chen Biyue walked into a small inn with a familiarity. It was very close to the entrance to the county, and there should be no one. She wanted to find someone in the inn to ask about the situation, but it was empty inside and didn't even see the shadow of a cat.

It's so strange. Even if the people gathered to make trouble and heard the news from outside, now the people have the advantage. How could they even want their own inn? Could it be that Shao Yan did something behind his back? As soon as he entered here, he had no news, which was also very strange.

While thinking about it, she went downstairs to the backyard. She was about to go out of the back door of the inn and turned into the alley. As soon as she opened the door, she heard a "bang" sound coming from behind her.

When he turned around, he saw short men stumbled out of the kitchen in the backyard, looking like he was drunk and couldn't see the road.

The man hummed twice, looked around, and finally looked up and saw Chen Biyue. The expression on his face instantly became ferocious from confusion. He roared angrily, picked up a wooden stick and smashed it towards Chen Biyue.

The door was closed with a "bang", and the wooden stick hit the door, and the vibration spread from the door panel to the palm of the palm. It felt irritating. The door could only be locked from the inside. She didn't dare to stay for longer, so she turned around and ran into the alley.

The man's footsteps soon appeared behind him. Chen Biyue pursed her lips, looked around, thinking about ways to escape.

Suddenly, a man rushed out from the slant, hugged her waist and lifted it up, flipped over the nearest wall, and rolled onto the ground.
