rich concubine

Chapter 2007 Qiao Liang
Rong Yi told Guo Zhixiang what Liu Niangzi heard. After hearing this, the latter's expression became solemn.

Since the outbreak of the plague, even Uncle Chen, who was working in the middle of the night, stayed at home and never went out. The officers and soldiers of the yamen were patrolling non-stop. They would not let people run in and out at will. It was impossible for the people to be bored at home. After a long time, I sneaked out for a walk.

"I know. I will strengthen my manpower and keep a close eye on people. If it's just that the people can't bear it and want to come out for some air, that's it. But for some other reason, I will definitely capture them."

Rong Yi nodded. She came here to talk about this matter, and asked with concern: "Is there a solution to the plague?"

Guo Zhixiang said: "Doctors from all over the county have gathered together to discuss solutions. Several patients have been controlled. We will see if madness will be discovered again later."

"Has the source of the poison been found?"

Guo Zhixiang shook his head and whispered: "The plague can be cured, but this madness... As His Highness said, it was caused by poisoning, but the source of the poison has not been found yet. I don't know who the poisoner was. How can we make these people infected with madness?"

Rong Yi pursed her lips and thought for a while, then Zhu Lingyu came up with a hypothesis: "Could it be that the medicine was put into the water?"

Guo Zhixiang said: "It should be impossible. Qusha County has abundant water resources, but almost every household in the town has a well in their yard, or the water at home comes from the main river or reservoir outside. Then The poisoner is not that clever. He can calculate who will be infected with the disease and then go to other courtyards to poison the water. But if he poisons the water in the river, it is even more impossible. The river is fast and the poison will be poisoned. If you go in, you won't be afraid of trouble for only three breaths, and the toxicity will have been washed away. If it is a reservoir, it is even more impossible. The reservoir is directly guarded by government soldiers. If there is a problem with the water in the reservoir, it will be discovered immediately."

Water is impossible, what about medicine?

Medicine is something that every patient will inevitably take after getting sick. If poison is hidden in the medicine, the possibility is also extremely high.

Obviously, Rong Yi was not the only one who thought of this.

Guo Zhixiang knew where to start the investigation, and there was no need for Rong Yi and the others to say anything more about this. This was a government matter after all. Although he came from the capital, he had too much to say. , isn’t it a distrust of the county magistrate?Besides, there was no order from above asking her to interfere in the county affairs.

Without saying much, the group left again, waiting for news from the county magistrate later.

There was nothing going on outside, so he headed back home.

But he didn't expect that he had just seen a good play in the county house. The play was sung and sung, and it actually reached the door of Guo Mansion.

Several people got off the carriage and looked at the woman guarding the door of Guo Mansion. Although they didn't see the real owner just now, they could tell from her voice that this was the woman who had pestered the county magistrate at the county house just now.

The officers and soldiers guarding the door looked colder and said rudely to her: "The plague is rampant now. If the girl cherishes her life, she should go home quickly and don't pester her again. My wife will not come out to see you."

"Please, brother, just go in and ask. Maybe Madam would like to see me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Yi and Zhu Lingyu had already approached. Zhu Lingyu looked at her and said, "Are you the girl who was at the county government just now?"

The woman was stunned and turned to look at the people in front of her. At her words, she thought of the embarrassment she had just felt in the county government. She thought that they should be the distinguished guests of the county magistrate. Seeing that they were well-dressed, she lowered her head slightly. , said: "People's daughter Qiao Liang, I have met you all."

Rong Yi was silent, so Zhu Lingyu asked her: "Miss Qiao, why don't you go home at this time? You came here to see Madam?"

Qiao Liang looked very serious. Although she spoke with some local accents, her voice was sweet and firm. She said: "Yes, the daughter of the people is here to ask to see the madam, but the girl of the people has absolutely no other meaning. She just wants to be accepted by the madam." It would be good for me to serve as a maid serving tea and water next to my wife." Zhu Lingyu said: "I'm afraid that won't work. The county magistrate's wife is a very simple person, and she doesn't need so many people to serve her. , a few pleasant ones are enough. Since you are a good citizen, why bother working as a maid for others?"

After hearing this, Qiao Liang said boldly in front of these people: "I am not here to be a maid. I just want to serve your wife and your lord. If I can be your concubine and relieve your fatigue, that would be the best thing." OK."

These days, there are very few women who speak so uprightly, with such clear goals, and without any embarrassment. No, it should be said that women who speak so straightforwardly about their requirements, clearly put their goals on their faces, and speak straightforwardly about their love. The woman has never been seen before.

The obedient person was slightly shocked.

Zhu Lingyu frowned and couldn't help but said: "Miss, do you know what you are talking about? Miss Yunying is not married yet, so she rushes to someone's door to be a concubine. If such a thing is spread, it may be harmful to the girl. Fame is hard to come by.”

Qiao Liang's eyes were clear and he said bluntly: "What's so scary about this? If you like someone and have a fate with this person, you should boldly say it. This is not a wrong thing. Besides, who in the county doesn't know that your Excellency is a You are a good man, even if you become a concubine for the Lord, it is not a shameful thing."

"I'm afraid the girl didn't understand the situation. I'm afraid you don't have such a fate with me. Mr. Guo has a wife. The people who have this fate are you and his wife. How did you know that Mr. Guo would like you if you confessed so boldly? ? If Mr. Guo doesn't accept you, wouldn't you become a joke?"

Qiao Liang was very insistent. After being said like this, her face turned red and her mouth was still stiff. She said: "How could it be? I just know that I have such a fate with the Guo family. What does it mean to like someone?" Is it wrong? How could it be a joke? I just did something that many people want to do but dare not do. I am open and honest, which is better than others being sneaky."

It is better for me to be open and honest than others to be sneaky.

What this says makes sense at first glance.

No matter what happens, being frank is naturally more serious than being sneaky.

This woman is very stubborn, but it makes people unable to get angry with her. Looking at her is like looking at an unreasonable little girl. She is very upright, but she is not in the right place, and it cannot be said that she has any bad intentions.

If she were a goblin, the spittle and stars could drown her at this moment, but unfortunately, her eyes were clean, and although her words were bold and unbridled, they were still innocent.

Rong Yi opened her mouth and asked her: "Maybe ask Miss Qiao, where did you start talking about the fate with the Guo family?"

Seeing that they finally stopped talking to each other, Qiao Liang felt relieved and said bluntly with a smile: "Someone calculated this for me. He said that I was destined to marry into the Guo family."
