Chapter 1206

"The soldiers have come to cover up the water and the earth. Now, all we have to do is wait!" Yang Ruoqing said.

"I believe that Tang Yazi will definitely come back. He never makes mistakes when doing things," she said.

Muzichuan nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to the canal first. When the people above come down, I'll think of ways to delay as much as possible."

"Um!"

Yang Ruoqing asked Li Zheng and others to calm down the villagers and try their best to suppress everyone's panic.

Everyone acted separately.

When it was almost time for dinner, Mu Zichuan sent Yang Huazhong back to report the news to Yang Ruoqing.

"Brother Zichuan asked me to tell you that the officers and soldiers from the county have arrived at the canal. What should you do next?"

At this moment, Yang Ruoqing is helping Sun cook dinner.

Hearing this, he quickly took off the apron around his waist and put it aside: "Let's go to the canal!"

When the father and daughter rushed to the canal, it was already dark, and torches were lit along the canal.

A group of officers and soldiers secured the place beside the river where the Double Dragon Stone Tablet was found. When Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhong rushed over, they refused to let in.

It was Mu Zichuan who heard the commotion and came out of a tent with lights on at the back, and then let the group of officers and soldiers pass.

"The leader's surname is Wei, and he is a subordinate of Mr. Xu."

On the way into the tent, Muzichuan whispered to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, knowing what she was doing.

Yang Huazhong stayed outside the tent, while Yang Ruoqing followed Mu Zichuan into the tent.

There were already several people sitting or standing inside the tent.

Yang Ruoqing glanced over and saw familiar ones, such as Li Zheng Wang Hongquan, two Li Zhengs from nearby Yujia Village and Zhengjia Village, and the Baochang of Qingshui Town.

In addition, there were three or four unfamiliar faces that she didn't recognize.

Among them, the leader of this group was a tall and thin young man.

He was scolding with a stern look on his face.

Yang Ruoqing looked at this man's unyielding look and sneered secretly in her heart. He must be Master Xu's confidant.

Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, the thief shouted to catch the thief.

Over there, the man surnamed Wei is still correcting himself in his precepts.

"As Li Zheng of Changping Village, when your village was digging canals, we dug up the Double Dragon Stone Stele."

"How dare you conceal such a big thing and not report it? What are your intentions?"

Li Zheng was so scolded that his face turned red and he stood there with his head lowered and being careful.

"Don't reprimand Uncle Li Zheng. It was my idea to conceal this matter!"

A crisp female voice cut in, interrupting Wei Yixiao's words.

Wei Yixiao turned around and saw Yang Ruoqing walking into the tent with Mu Zichuan.

A young girl with a graceful figure.

With a delicate and elegant face, if she were in a county town or a gentle village in the capital, such a girl would be his favorite!

But at this moment, the surprise in Wei Yixiao's eyes was fleeting.

His eyes darkened, he ignored Yang Ruoqing's presence, and only asked Mu Zichuan in a very unhappy tone.

"We are discussing important matters here. What does Master Mu mean by bringing a girl in?"

The arrogance in his words is undisguised.

Mu Zichuan's face was stern, he glanced at Yang Ruoqing and said calmly: "This girl is from Changping Village. She played a big role in digging the canal this time."

"The tent Master Wei is standing in and the tea we just drank were all sponsored by this girl."

"She seems to know something about the Double Dragon Monument. Therefore, as an insider, it is appropriate to bring her in for questioning."

Muzichuan Road.

Oh wow, it turns out he is still an insider?

Wei Yixiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Ruoqing's body again.

In addition to being delicate, beautiful, young and attractive.

Wei Yixiao could no longer see what Yang Ruoqing knew.

"Master Mu, at this time, can you stop telling jokes? Wei really doesn't understand your humor!"

Wei Yixiao shook his head and said with a smile.

"The Double Dragon Stele is a divine object buried deep in the ground and a symbol of the emperor."

"You found a girl and told her that she knew something. How could she know anything? Could it be that she is the mysterious goddess from the Nine Heavens who descended to earth?" Wei Yixiao asked.

Mu Zichuan's brows furrowed together, and just as he was about to speak out, Yang Ruoqing gently tugged on his sleeve.

Taking her hint, he temporarily suppressed the anger in his chest and stood aside.

Yang Ruoqing stood up, straightened her back, and looked directly at Wei Yixiao.

There is no shyness or timidity of rural girls.

"Master Wei, you keep saying that the Double Dragon Stone Tablet is a divine object given by God. So, may I ask, Master Wei, how long do you think such a divine object has been buried deep underground?"

she asked.

Wei Yixiao was startled.

Then he said: "This... naturally it is a long, long time. How can I, an ordinary person, predict that period of time!"

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "Then what if I tell Mr. Wei that there are people in our village who know about stone tablets, and they used to go digging mountains and quarrying stones."

"Judging from the polishing marks on the words on the stone tablet, it should have been produced in the past two years. It is not an ancient artifact. What should Mr. Wei think about it?"

Yang Ruoqing asked.

The expression on Wei Yixiao's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"Since it is a divine creature from heaven, it could have come to the world a long time ago." He said.

"Maybe there wasn't one here before. Just because you dug canals and angered God, God temporarily lowered this stone tablet to give you a warning!"

Wei Yixiao said, he let go of Li Zheng and turned towards Yang Ruoqing and Mu Zichuan.

"I heard that since you dug up this Double Dragon Stone Tablet, your village has no longer been peaceful."

"Within one day, two people fell into the water, and one person was almost killed by a tile falling from his roof."

"Now the villagers are talking about it, and everyone thinks it is the anger of the gods."

"Girl, you dug up a stone tablet like this, and you still dare to conceal it and deceive your superiors and subordinates. What are your intentions? Huh?"

Facing Wei Yixiao's aggressive questions, Mu Zichuan's brows furrowed more and more.

He moved his body and was about to speak, but Yang Ruoqing had already spoken first.

"Master Wei's information is indeed well informed."

"However, Mr. Wei only knows one thing but not the other. Those villagers who went wrong were all injured for their own reasons, and it was not due to some strange force."

"Because they are all villagers from my village, I know the situation better than you, Mr. Wei, and I have more say in this matter." She said.

In terms of tone, there is no intention of retreating at all.

Everyone else in the tent said nothing, looking at Yang Ruoqing and Wei Yixiao with their eyes.

Everyone was shocked because they all knew that Wei Yixiao was the right-hand man of the imperial envoy Master Xu and had come down from the capital.

And Yang Ruoqing actually dared to argue with an official from the capital like this. Her courage was really extraordinary.

Wei Yixiao himself was also surprised.
