During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 136 Qian Cheng’s Future
Luo Tingye met Qian Cheng in the front hall and listened to his report on the situation in Huachang County in the past year, as well as the information obtained from Yingchuan.

"The governor of Yingchuan County was defeated by the violent victims. The governor of Yingchuan County died, and his wife and children at home were also killed by the victims. Afterwards, the governor of Yuzhou sent troops to quell the rebellion and exempted Yingchuan County from taxes for a year. Now it is also That’s it.”

Luo Tingye rubbed the edge of the cup, which was the same information that Sun Ming got back.

Seeing that he was silent, Qian Cheng continued: "It seems that the governor of Yuzhou did not report the situation in Yingchuan County to the court. I heard that the governor of Yingchuan County was the brother-in-law of Yuzhou at this time. During this riot, the governor of Yuzhou responded as quickly as possible. After sending troops to quell the chaos, I boldly guessed that there must be some unknown secret inside."

Luo Tingye couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Qian Cheng knew that Luo Tingye was testing himself, so he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from losing his composure.

"From what you see, what does it have to do with?"

Qian Cheng thought for a while and replied: "I heard a piece of news by chance before when I was young. I don't know if it is true. Someone said that iron ore was discovered in Yingchuan County. If this news is true, it may be related to the riots in Yingchuan County. things related.”

Luo Tingye's expression remained as usual, and he didn't seem surprised.

Qian Cheng knew he was right and breathed a sigh of relief.

He learned about the iron mine from his classmates who he thought had been together for many years. He didn't even tell the county magistrate, and very few people in Nanyang County knew about it.

Luo Tingye could know this, which meant that he had more than just Jiang Qian in his hands.

He didn't press the wrong treasure.

"If you were asked to go to Yingchuan County to serve as the magistrate of Yingzhou County, would you do well?"

Qian Cheng's body trembled, surprise flashed in his eyes, "Young ones can do it well."

"Go back and get ready. I will ask someone to change your identity later. Then you can take office with your new identity."

Qian Cheng bowed his head and thanked him, then hesitated, "But County Magistrate Gao?"

Qian Cheng and Magistrate Gao had worked together for so many years, and they were still a little reluctant to separate rashly.

"I will arrange additional manpower around him."

"Your Highness, Magistrate Gao may have done something bad, but compared to other officials, Magistrate Gao has done a good job, and the greatest advantage of Magistrate Gao is that he listens to advice."

Luo Tingye smiled faintly, "It's rare that you still think about him at this time, but I don't know if County Magistrate Gao will think about you when he knows that you want to find another job."

Qian Cheng choked, and the sadness of parting suddenly disappeared.

Early the next morning, Magistrate Gao was woken up while he was still sleeping, and he was cursed and asked to check.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good. There was a poisoning incident in Hewan Village, resulting in the death of many people. You'd better go and take a look."

Magistrate Gao's face paled, "Go find Qian Cheng quickly."

When Qian Cheng rushed to the county government, he sent someone to notify Luo Tingye.

After learning that something happened in Hewan Village, Luo Tingye and Jiang Qian rushed back together.

There are white sails hanging at the entrance of the village, and there are a lot of paper money on the road. The whole village can be described as desolate.

Soon, the sounds of crying and cursing came one after another.

After Qian Cheng arrived, he immediately gathered everyone at the entrance of the village. When Magistrate Gao arrived, he had already sent people to the city to ask for a doctor.

Magistrate Gao had never had such a serious poisoning incident in all his years in office, and his legs were so frightened that they became weak.

He just felt that his official position had reached its end.

"Sir, a total of 25 people have died so far, all of them are elderly. Another 73 people have been poisoned. The county doctors are rescuing them. There is a high hope of rescuing them."

As soon as he heard that there was great hope, Magistrate Gao felt relieved and asked hurriedly: "What is going on? Who poisoned me? How could such a thing happen?" Magistrate Gao suddenly remembered something. , "Is Mr. Zhuang also in Hewan Village? Where are the others? Is he okay?"

"Don't worry, sir. Mr. Zhuang is fine."

Qian Cheng thought of the scene when he saw Mr. Zhuang just now. Such a thing happened in the village, but Mr. Zhuang was able to enjoy tea leisurely. When pouring tea, is he detached from the world or indifferent?
Qian Cheng thought that he could not be like Mr. Zhuang.

"I hope Mr. Zhuang is fine. By the way, have you caught the person who poisoned you?"

"Caught."

At the same time, Luo Tingye and Jiang Qian came to Hu Orion's house, and all three of them were fine.

Hu Shaohua was the one who went to the Yamen to report the crime in the morning, and he was also the first to discover the abnormality.

About two days after Jiang Chunfen died, old people passed away one after another in the village. At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to them, thinking that they were old and their bones were failing.

But more and more people died, and then children also became sick.

Hu Shaohua felt something was wrong and told Patriarch Jiang about this.

At that time, Patriarch Jiang was grieving over the death of his seventh uncle, and did not take the incident seriously, thinking it was just a normal cold.

Hu Shaohua wanted to tell Luo Tingye about this, but he accidentally discovered someone sneaking up near the wellhead, seemingly putting something inside.

Hu Shaohua and others left and went to check, and found some white powder beside the well. He returned home and fed the white powder to the pheasants.

As a result, the pheasant died soon after.

He told Chief Jiang the news.

Chief Jiang believed it, but he was unwilling to report it to the official because he was worried that the Jiang family would be laughed at.

After some squatting, the poisoner was finally caught, but Chief Jiang's health was not good either.

Hu Shaohua knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so instead of waiting for the Yamen to investigate, he took the initiative to tell the Yamen, so what happened this morning.

"Who poisoned him and why did he do it?"

Hu Shaohua said: "The person who poisoned was Jiang Hu. It's not clear why he did this. He is currently being held in the ancestral hall. If you want to know, you can ask him."

Jiang Qian turned around and was about to go to the ancestral hall.

Luo Tingye stopped him, "It's useless for you to go now. It's better to go to the clan leader's house first. Once the seventh uncle and clan leader Jiang die, the Jiang clan will probably be in chaos."

Jiang Qian felt that what he said made sense, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and came to the patriarch's house.

In a hurry, Patriarch Jiang's coffin was only half-built and was lying in the yard.

Jiang Qian felt sad in his heart when he saw this. Although he disagreed with many things that Chief Jiang did, without him, the Jiang family would have been in chaos.

For so many years, Patriarch Jiang had no merit but hard work. He should not have died like this.

"Brother Qian, you are finally back."

Jiang Fan ran out, hugged Jiang Qian and cried.

Jiang Qian also shed two tears sadly, "Stop crying, I know everything."

Jiang Fan cried very sadly. After Chief Jiang died, everyone told him to hold on. The Jiang family still needed to rely on him, but he really couldn't hold on anymore.
