The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 181 Caution
Lin Zisu and Xie Xi couldn't help but glanced at each other, only to hear Tian Zhang continue to say: "That day, I wanted to go into the thatched cottage over there and look around, but I heard the sound of insects screaming. The sound was louder than that of the old crow, as if it was always ringing in my ears. I also said that I encountered a monster and ran back quickly. It was strange to say that as soon as I got home, the sound of the insect disappeared , Miss, tell me, is there any monster here?"

Lin Zisu saw that the direction Tian Zhang was pointing at was exactly where the cellar was located, so she smiled and comforted her, "Don't panic, ma'am, after a while, people from the government will come over and ask them to check it out. What's so weird about this place?"

Mrs. Tian Zhang responded, looked Lin Zisu up and down again, opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Miss, you are like a Bodhisattva at first glance. Not only do you look good, but you still want to help us people." Seeking justice, you don't know, here, the government has never cared about it."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Tian Zhang immediately opened up the chatterbox. Since she married into Shili Town, she has not seen many official servants on weekdays. That is, when the summer tax and autumn tax are collected, people from the government will come to the door.

The outsiders in this medicine field have lived here for more than ten years, and the people in the town have submitted more than ten certificates to the county seat, but they have never paid any attention to it.

In the past few years, the people in the town saw that the court didn't care about it, and they didn't pay attention to those foreigners.

At the end, Mrs. Tian Zhang said: "It's not that we people are greedy for things here, they are really hateful, so I thought, find something here to vent..."

Mrs. Tian and Zhang chattered a few more words, and Lin Zisu pointed to the old Wangtou who was still kneeling not far away and asked, "Ma'am, do you know that person?"

Mrs. Tian Zhang immediately nodded and said: "I know, he is the old man Wang from the Dongtou Tofu Shop in the town. We all eat tofu made by him in our town."

Lin Zisu asked again: "Is this old man Wang's handicraft handed down from his ancestors?"

Mrs. Tian Zhang didn't know why Lin Zisu would ask such a question. She thought for a long time, and said with an uncertain tone: "I don't know about that. Old man Wang is from another town. I heard that he was robbed by others." The business failed, so they moved to our town."

Lin Zisu asked a few more questions. Seeing that she was very concerned about old man Wang's affairs, Mrs. Tian Zhang said that she was pitying old man Wang, and said, "This old man Wang, the four sons in front of him are gone. A fifth son of mine went out to sell tofu a month ago and he didn’t know where he was. Tell me, at Old Wang’s age, he doesn’t even have someone to die with. Poor, poor!”

Just as Tian Zhang was talking, there was a sound of neighing horses in the distance, followed by neat steps, and the sound was shocking.The onlookers had never seen such a big battle, and they hid in the corners of the surrounding area, watching the direction of the person, wanting to see what kind of nobleman they were.

Xie Xi knew the identity of the visitor before he got close.With a wry smile, he said to Lin Zisu: "Father sent Jin Yiwei directly this time. It seems that he wants Dongchang to take care of it directly, and he doesn't intend to let us intervene."

Xie Xi guessed right, this group was Jinyiwei in Beijing, and the leader was old acquaintance Cao Lang.Before Cao Lang got off his horse, Xie Xi said angrily, "Little Eunuch Cao is a busy man, you are indispensable for everything."

Cao Lang got off his horse and bowed to Xie Xi, and said, "What did your Highness say? The slaves and servants are to share the worries of the king, it's just their own business."

As Cao Lang spoke, he began to assign tasks to the accompanying people.

Lin Zisu reminded from the side: "Little Eunuch Cao, there is a cellar next to the thatched hut over there. There are poisons in it. Be careful when searching."

Lin Zisu's voice was not too low, and everyone around could hear it clearly.When she spoke, she kept staring at the old man Wang who was not far away, just wanting to see how the old man would react.

As soon as the words fell, the drooping head of the old man Wang suddenly lifted up, and his cloudy old eyes suddenly turned dark. He glanced at Lin Zisu, saw that Lin Zisu was looking at him, and lowered his head again. head.

Lin Zisu smiled, and said to Cao Lang: "The rotting corpses in this medicine field also have remnants of poison. You should be more cautious when checking."

Cao Lang was noncommittal to her words, cupped his hands casually, and said indifferently: "Our family can save it, thank you girl."

With the people brought over by Cao Lang, the medicine field became busy again.When Cao Lang gave an order, some people searched the trail, some dug the ground, and some assisted the guards. After a while, all the surrounding medicine fields were turned over.

Until half an hour later, Yin Fang Maochun of Jingzhao Mansion arrived slowly.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, vassal kings cannot interfere with the government.Dun Wang Xiexi is just an idle prince. After getting married, he will be released to the feudal domain. He has nothing to do with the affairs of Beijing and China. He doesn't have much right to speak in court affairs.

When Fang Maochun saw Xie Xi's call, he didn't take it seriously, but he still cared about Xie Xi's face.He calmly called a group of yamen servants, and went out in a grand manner.

It wasn't until he got off the sedan chair that he saw a group of Jin Yiwei digging the soil in full swing in the medicine field, and then he realized that something was wrong.

Jin Yiwei is notoriously domineering, if it was an ordinary time, how could he do these things himself?
To be able to drive the Jinyiwei, there must be some big shot in charge.Fang Maochun was startled, saw a few people at the hut not far away, and hurried over.

Cao Lang was standing in an open space not far away, wearing a blue bamboo-patterned straight gown, standing with his hands behind his back, his face was expressionless, but there was a leisurely light smile on the corner of his mouth.

How could this desperate Yan Luo come here?

Fang Maochun groaned secretly in his heart. In recent months, Cao Lang's name was known to everyone in the circle of Beijing officials.

Officials rumored that this little Eunuch Cao was ruthless and extremely ruthless, even more so than Eunuch Cao Shouli of Dongchang.

In just over a month, more than a dozen Beijing officials have already fallen into his hands, living a life that would be worse than death in the imperial prison.

Although he doesn't have any real position in the East Factory right now, I heard that the position of the Admiral and Eunuch in the East Factory must belong to this little Eunuch Cao, and he is not someone who can be provoked.

Thinking of this, Fang Maochun couldn't help but panic in his heart. He walked up to Cao Lang and said with a smile on his face: "Little Eunuch Cao, it's just a small matter, why bother you to go there yourself, and send someone to tell you, The next official will definitely take care of this matter in a down-to-earth manner, you see, the poor mountains and rivers here..."

Cao Lang immediately interrupted him, and asked in a cold voice: "Lord Fang, our family asked you that hundreds of people died unexpectedly, and you still said it was a trivial matter? At the foot of the emperor, in the first benevolent area, can you really do something like this? Can you afford it?"
