This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 81 Wang Mazi

Yangzhou, Pinghe County.

Wen Ruyan led Ji Ning and the others to rush around for half a day before arriving here.

Along the way, there was always an inexplicable smile on Wen Ruyan's face. When he thought of the spring evening with Wei Xiaoxiao last night, he felt extremely happy. After handing over my first time, how could I not feel anything.

Thinking of the early morning, even though the little girl was not feeling well, she still woke up early, suppressed her shyness, her pretty face flushed, and she gently helped herself to get dressed, and she felt extremely happy in her heart. So, what can the husband ask for?
If it wasn't for his father's will not to disobey, he would really be reluctant to leave Wei Xiaoxiao's gentle hometown.

"Your Highness, Pinghe County is ahead, and through there is Yangzhou City. The destination is not far away now. If we are a little faster, we should be able to get there before sunset." Ji Ning held the reins in his hand , said respectfully to Wen Ruyan.

Wen Ruyan looked up at the sky. It was indeed too early. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then he said, "I don't know anything about the situation in Yangzhou City at the moment. It’s better to rush there first, try to find out more information, and be prepared, after all, it’s right.”

Hearing what he said, Ji Ning asked again: "What about you, Your Highness?"

Wen Ruyan thought for a while, and said, "I'll be staying in Pinghe County for the past two days, if you have any news, just come back and tell me."

Although Ji Ning didn't know what he meant, he still nodded.

In fact, Wen Ruyan also has his own considerations. He always feels that the matter of selling officials cannot be just a few corrupt officials, and many high-ranking officials may be involved in it. He can't say whether the governor of Yangzhou is involved. allow.

And his identity is unusual, and the governor of Yangzhou has seen him several times. If he enters the city rashly and accidentally bumps into him head-on, it may arouse his suspicion. If he is really involved in Among them, it will be very difficult for me to check the matter when the time comes, so it is always right to be cautious in everything.

"Then the three of us will leave first. If you find a residence in Pinghe County, Your Highness, remember to leave a mark for us. It will be convenient for us to find you at that time."

Wen Ruyan nodded.

Seeing this, the three of them clasped their fists at him, waved the whip in their hands, and rushed in the direction of Yangzhou City.

But before they could go far, they stopped immediately.Seeing this, Wen Ruyan didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly drove the car over.

Taking him closer, it turned out that there was a dead body in the grass, but his face was facing down, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could see his back, hunched up high, which turned out to be a hunchback.

Ji Ning glanced at Wen Ruyan, then got off his horse, walked up to the corpse, and turned it over.

Take a closer look, heh, that man is extremely ugly, not to mention the pockmarks on his face, and there is a large black mark on the left side of his face. With this appearance, it is estimated that people will see it in the middle of the night, and it must be scary. It is impossible to be sick.

Ji Ning frowned deeply, resisted the discomfort in his body, put his hand on the man's neck, and said to Wen Ruyan: "Your Highness, this man just died not long ago, it should not be more than a day. I can assure you that he died of starvation."

Wen Ruyan sighed deeply, and said: "Looking at his appearance, he might be from Pinghe County. Ji Qiu, go and inquire to see if you can find this person's family. Such a wilderness of corpses is really pitiful."

Ji Qiu nodded, and immediately rushed towards Pinghe County.

It didn't take long for him to go back and forth, and he rushed back.

"How? Have you heard about his family?"

Ji Qiu shook his head and sighed: "I haven't found out the real name of this person, but he is indeed from Pinghe County. People call him Wang Mazi. He has no relatives and no reason. Because of his appearance, basically everyone in the county likes him." Knowing him, according to the people, he originally owned a piece of land, but for some reason, he sold it cheaply to Li Yuanwai in the county. Later, his life was difficult, but he didn't bother to make a living by begging, and wanted to work hard to earn a living. money, but no one dared to use him, I think this is the reason why he starved to death, like him, he has been dead for a day, and no one in the county has noticed, it is also pitiful."

After hearing Ji Qiu's words, Wen Ruyan also sighed deeply, and said, "Hey, I don't think there is such a miserable person in Dazhou, that's all, since we have met him, we should bury him." Well, it can be considered safe in the ground, people are gone, and this is the only thing we can do."

Ji Qiu nodded, and then the three of them looked at each other, they all got off their horses and started to work. After a while, there was a mound on the ground.

Standing there, Wen Ruyan said calmly: "Go all the way well, I hope that the suffering you have suffered in this life can be exchanged for your glory and wealth in the next life."

After saying this, the four of them got on their horses. It was getting late at this time, and Ji Ning said to Wen Ruyan, "Then, Your Highness, we will head to Yangzhou City first."

Wen Ruyan thought for a while, and then instructed: "The three of you had better go to the city separately, after all, you are all new faces, so don't draw some people's attention, and be careful when inquiring for news."

"Yes!"

"By the way, Ji Qiu, you said just now that no one in the county knows that this person is dead?" Wen Ruyan suddenly thought of something and asked.

Ji Qiu didn't know what he meant, but still nodded and said: "That's right, when I inquired about him in the county just now, no one realized that he was no longer alive."

"Then does he have a residence in the county?" Wen Ruyan asked again.

"There seems to be a thatched hut, it's strange to say, why did he starve to death here instead of in his own home?" Ji Qiu couldn't figure it out.

"What's the matter, maybe this guy came here to find some wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger, but he didn't find anything, and instead starved to death here." Ji Yuan shook his head and said.

"It's possible."

Wen Ruyan thought about it carefully, and then said to the three of them: "You guys go, if you have any news, come to his residence and let me know."

"Huh? Your Highness, do you want it?"

"Since no one knows that he is no longer alive, let me borrow his identity. With his appearance, as long as he disguises himself, it will be difficult for others to see. With such an identity, it is easy for me to find out the news in Pinghe County. There are too many." Wen Ruyan said calmly.

In his view, since someone dared to take such a big risk to sell an official, the price would be ridiculously high, and people would die for money and birds for food. Only enough profits could make people take the risk.In this case, ordinary rich people may really not be able to afford it. Even if they can afford it, the official position is definitely not that big. In Pinghe County, the biggest official is nothing more than the county magistrate. There are also some clues to be found here.

Hearing Wen Ruyan's words, Ji Ning frowned. He was not worried that Wen Ruyan's disguise would fail, but that he felt that his status was extremely noble and it was inappropriate to live in a thatched cottage. Thinking of this, he opened his mouth Advised: "Your Highness, you are the prince, how can you live in that thatched cottage."

Wen Ruyan smiled faintly: "Don't talk too much about it, if he can live, so can I. That's fine, it's getting late, you guys go to the city quickly."

Seeing Wen Ruyan's insistence, the three of Ji Ning looked at each other and didn't say anything more. They fisted him and drove towards Yangzhou.

After they left, Wen Ruyan turned his head and glanced at the mound, and murmured: "I gave you a ride, so I'll borrow your identity, I think you won't mind."
