Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 171 Onlookers
Zou Wangfu moved quickly.Within two days, there was news from Jingzhong, saying that the court had ordered the magistrate of Jingyang County to be dismissed, and Jing Zhaoyin would go to Jingyang County to try the case in person and escort the criminal back to Chang'an for trial.

As a matter of fact, in Chang'an City, many good-natured people had already traveled a hundred miles to watch the snake's corpse.Jing Zhaoyin didn't let the prisoner be taken directly to Beijing for interrogation, but made the trip himself. Many people speculated that he was also very curious about the snake corpse and wanted to see it with his own eyes.

No one would say that such a big snake is fake.As for whether it is a monster?Can grow so big, isn't it a fine one? !In contrast, the "demon snake" that the former Jingyang magistrate claimed to have asked a Taoist priest to kill was compared to a scum by the righteous master.I don't know who deliberately transported the body of the boa constrictor from Liujiazhuang to the body of the monster snake, and the two formed a strong contrast.Who came over and saw it, and said a few words to the former Jingyang county magistrate?

Among the people who came to watch, there were also many clan and royal relatives, and many of them lived in Li Shenxin's Liu Erzhuang.It's not that they don't bother Li Lijun, the fourth wife of the Sui Dynasty's mansion, but that the Liujiazhuang is obviously seriously damaged, and everyone is busy repairing and building houses. How can there be an empty house to receive them?However, Li Lijun stayed in the mansion to "keep filial piety behind closed doors", and only directed the attendants around him to arrange the rebuilding of the village every day, and several clan elders who were close to the Sui Palace went to visit her to comfort her about the unexpected disaster.

Li Lijun thanked them for their kindness one by one, but all external affairs were handled by Li Shen, and he did not intervene, concentrating on dealing with the reconstruction of Zhuangshang.

She also wrote a letter to the Sui Palace in Beijing, which was addressed to her grandfather Sui Wang and her step-grandmother Princess Dou, mainly to report how her new Zhuangzi came from—because she and Li Shen participated in the rescue and were in distress in Qiaoling Only then did Lin Jiulang receive the gift of thanks from Lord Lin Guo.How the village was damaged, who was under her command when the incident happened, and whether she was injured... She also explained these trivial matters in the letter. up.

Sui Wang and his wife didn't become suspicious, they just worried about her.However, this Zhuangzi was a happy accident. Li Lijun was not present when the accident happened, and none of the confidantes and maids were injured, that is, Li Shen who came to help was hit on the forehead. Now the wound has healed long ago, it seems There's nothing to worry about either.Sui Wang and his wife sent a steward to give some condolences to appease their granddaughter, and asked the steward to come forward on behalf of the granddaughter, follow Li Shen to negotiate with the government, and deal with the follow-up matters, and they didn't care about the rest.As for the matter of Zhuangzi's reconstruction, Qiancai's granddaughter has it herself, and Li Shen and the nuns are responsible for the general affairs. They don't need to worry about it, and it is enough to let the steward help.

And Li Dai, the father, also got the news from his father, but he didn't even prepare a condolence item other than telling the steward that "you must do things with your heart".He has always left this kind of general affairs to his wives and concubines around him, and he has no such concept in his mind.The wet nurse who might have reminded him had already been sent to the Zhuangzi for "glorious care" because of poor delivery of letters.One of Xinna's concubines was originally serving in the Chen's courtyard, and kindly reminded him, but he forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

He only noticed that this Zhuangzi was sent by Lin Guogong in the name of thanking Li Lijun and Li Shen for their life-saving grace to grandson Lin Jiulang.For this kind of thing, it is enough to give a thicker thank you gift, why give such a big Guanzhong farm?Li Dai felt that it was because the Lin family still intended to marry their daughter to be his heir concubine, so they purposely befriended his daughter as a test.

It's a pity that although Lin Guogong's daughter is well-known, her relationship with Concubine Dou is too close.What's more, Lin Guogong is now the envoy of the five prefectures in the south of the Five Ridges, rounded up to be the envoy of the Jiedu envoy in the south of the Five Ridges. Although he has real power and military power, he is too far away to help Li Dai.Although Li Dai wanted to seek an official position, he never thought of going to Lingnan. Wouldn't that mean he was exiled?He was having a heated fight with Yang Liuniang recently, so he didn't consider marrying the daughter of the Lin family as his second wife.It's just that the Lin family was so active, and he couldn't bear to firmly refuse, which hurt the beauty's heart, so he simply pretended that he didn't know anything, and let the Lin family retreat.

Li Lijun received a comforting gift from his grandparents, and learned that his father didn't even have a word of comfort, so he didn't bother to say anything.She had given up on this father a long time ago, and now it's just because her wings are not yet full-fledged and she needs to worry about the material opinions of the people around her, so she maintains a little affection with him.She was happier that he didn't care about her.

However, Li Lijun did not intend to use the steward sent by the King of Sui to deal with the reconstruction of the village, and just sent him to work with Li Shen.Now she transforms into a black-robed masked gentleman every night to help the villagers lay foundations and build walls. Some of them are used to living in cave dwellings, and she also helps build cave dwellings. How can the men of King Sui see these things? !
The villagers only thought that they were lucky enough to meet a kind little fairy to help them. Seeing that she didn't want to make it public, they took the initiative to keep the secret for her.Even the people in Liu Erzhuang next door didn't know that Liujiazhuang had a good helper in building a house.Only those who come here from time to time to help their relatives and friends build houses secretly wonder how the people in Liujiazhuang can move so fast?After one night, the earthen wall was actually built? !Next time when I want to build a new house, I will simply hire someone from Liujiazhuang to help.

Li Lijun works as a part-time construction worker at night, and is not idle during the day.Previously, because she was in a hurry, she was in a little hurry when refining the meteorite into Xiaofan Tianyin. Now she has to further refine it carefully, so that this new material can be better integrated with the seal.The new Xiaofan Tianyin was used smoothly, and she was also very satisfied in her heart.Looking back, Li Lijun was even more satisfied when he saw that the gopher's injury healed very quickly, and he had regained his energy. At most, he ate a chicken every day, and he was able to quietly help the villagers drill holes at night.

On the surface, she seemed to stay at home, but she actually knew the news outside very well.Nanny Cui and the others would bring her new news every day, and Ding Wulang and Li Shen also sent her letters.After several days of negotiations, Li Shen finally brought her back good news—for the loss of Liujiazhuang, the former Jingyang county magistrate's compensation has finally come down.

Before Jing Zhaoyin arrived, the former Jingyang county magistrate was already under house arrest.The other officials in the county government firmly prevented him from escaping, and he was also afraid in his heart, knowing that he would not be able to escape this time.Don't talk about those who are promoted or not, it is a blessing to be able to retire unscathed.He cursed that monster for deceiving him countless times, but he didn't know where he fled, and the government posted the arrest documents everywhere, but there was still no news.He lost something to vent his anger on, so he threw or burned all the vestments, instruments, etc. that he had gathered for the demon way.Even if there are things that cost a lot of money to make, he doesn't want to keep them as an eyesore.

After venting, he calmed down a little bit, and knew that the most important thing for him this time was to appease the sufferer, so that he could hope to alleviate his guilt.As long as the two clan nobles who own Liujiazhuang and Liuerzhuang are satisfied, he can completely say that he was deceived by the demon way to get into such a catastrophe.Even if he loses his job afterwards, he can still return to his hometown and become a rich man.

Then how can we satisfy the two clan nobles?Naturally, it was a generous compensation.

He didn't pay attention to the people of Liujiazhuang at all, he only wanted to please the owner of Liujiazhuang.Most of the things delivered to Li Lijun were silk and jewelry, which made Li Lijun very angry and funny.

However, there were a few pieces of jewelry that obviously had the color of Taoist magic tools, which attracted her attention.
