Chapter 107 Letter from Di Renjie
There is so much fog in Shu.
The fog is thick and white, covering everything up, making it difficult to see.
The fog gathers and disperses with the wind, as if it is a fairyland.
In the heavy fog, a whisper and beastly voice came faintly: "I have said that I should be careful of Su Da for..."
"This guy is just a mess."
"Or why don't you put him first..."
"No...you forgot...you explained."
"Then let's take a look. We have been planning for so long, and I can't make a big deal if we are alone."
"The beginning of luck is also the end of luck. This is the way of heaven, and no one can go against his fate."
The whispering sound made a hoarse smile, gradually floating in the mist.
...
"What's wrong with your laughter?"
Su Dawei looked at Ming Chongyan with disgust: "A beautiful boy showed his aunt's smile, disgusting."
"What...what does an aunt laugh?" Ming Chongyan looked confused.
Su Dawei waved his hand with disdain: "I won't understand even if I tell you, it's a bad information."
God's information is bad.
Ming Chongyan stared at Su Dawei with his eyes tightly.
Seeing him calling Li Bo and others to make food, although it was based on his own wishes, how could Su Dawei's expression be so hated?
It is still unclear about Helan Minzhi.
When Huang'an Town is in trouble, we will calculate these new and old disputes with you.
He thought of Helan Minzhi's appearance and felt inexplicably painful.
No matter how crazy Helanmin is, it is also the influence of the demon blood in his body.
The nature is still kind.
What's more, I have grown up with Helan for more than ten years and have a friendship here. I will definitely find out the truth about Helan Minzhi.
Ming Chongyan made a vow in his heart.
"Alang, there is no more firewood." Li Bo looked embarrassed at Su Dawei.
In the huge county government, there was no decent dry firewood.
Last night, Su Dawei split the table into firewood, but now he has no table, and he has turned into fire out of thin air?
"Who said there is no firewood? Isn't there any Taoist sect? If you split the Guanzhen sect, there will be firewood."
Su Dawei didn't care.
Li Bo was surprised and thought that there was no other way. He bowed his hand and took two personal guards over, chopped the wooden door down several times, then broke it into small and large wooden blocks, looking for the thatch that caused the fire and ignited it with flint.
It will only catch fire.
Su Dawei, who was originally leaning against the wooden pillar, suddenly straightened his body and looked out the door.
On the other side, Ming Chongyan, who was dozing off with his eyes slightly closed his eyes against the wall, also reacted and flashed to the door.
Outside the public hall, fog was flowing, and some sounds were heard faintly, but they were not very clear.
"That sound, something is coming."
"Is it a person?"
"Maybe it's a monster."
Su Dawei said calmly, his eyes pouring into the mist.
Seeing that the fog seemed to be pulled by inexplicable force, it emitted a chaotic surge.
Several figures came through the fog.
Ming Chongyan sneered: "I dare to come to die in broad daylight."
His palms raised and leaped towards the fog.
The talent was in mid-air and suddenly felt a heavy shoulder and his body fell down.
He was shocked, and raised his palms to protect his chest and abdomen. He could see clearly after a quick look. It turned out that Su Dawei pressed his shoulder and pulled him back from the air.
"you……"
"It's a human, not a monster."
The fog broke out in front, and several officers wearing government offices led pony in Shu carefully walked out of the fog.
When I saw the county government, I suddenly showed joy.
But the next moment, these servants were cut down again, and Ming Chongyan, Su Dawei and the others were shocked.
Not to mention the public hall, the two of them were both smoke and bloody, and they looked like they had just returned from fighting on the battlefield.
Su Dawei sang: "Where did you come from? What's the matter when you arrived in Huang'an County?"
"Two..."
A man holding a horse recognized Ming Chongyan wearing a county magistrate's costume, and hurriedly crossed his hands and said, "Do you dare to ask if it is Ming Langjun, the county magistrate of Huang'an?"
"It's me, who are you?"
Ming Chongyan was a little surprised.
"I am inferior. I am ordering the governor's office, and I send a letter to the new Huang'an County Magistrate Su Langjun, who is not sure..."
"I am Su Dawei."
Su Dawei looked up and down the officers and saw a sign of Jiannan Road on the horse's back.
It seems that it was the messenger sent here by the Governor's Office of Jiannan Road.
The messenger took the horse a few steps closer, confirmed Ming Chongyan's appearance, nodded and said, "It's indeed Minglangjun. When Minglangjun took office, he had been to the Governor's Office and had taken a look from afar."
After saying that, he turned around and took out the letter from the bag hanging next to the saddle, hesitated and asked, "Mr. Su, can you take a look at the seal letter?"
Su Dawei thought to himself that this person was serious.
He glanced at him, and Li Bo immediately came up and showed the seal engraved in his luggage with Huang'an County Magistrate to the other party.
The messenger then felt relieved, holding Di Renjie's letter to Su Dawei in both hands, and lifted it high above his head.
"Then this letter will be more relevant to the county magistrate."
Su Dawei reached out to take it and checked the mud seal on it. Seeing that it was intact, he carried the mud seal and picked up the letter to check it out.
"So I haven't seen Brother Di Renjie for many years. After he passed the imperial examination, he went to the local area to take office, and I was in the army..."
Su Dawei finished reading the letter with a glance at all.
Ming Chongyan wanted to see it, but because of his identity, he was embarrassed to come over. After he finished reading it, he was about to ask, but he saw Su Dawei saying to the messenger: "I have read Di Facao's letter. You go back and thank him for me, and tell him for me, hurry up."
"Here."
The messenger gave a hand to his hands, took a few steps back, and whispered a few words to the followers beside him.
They untied several cloth bags from their bags on their horses, which looked quite heavy.
Put them on the ground one by one.
"This is the grain and rice that Di Facao asked us to hand over when we came. He said that Zun Yuan from Suxian must have no preparations. These can be met with a temporary urgent need."
Su Dawei bowed slightly, which was considered a thank you.
The messenger saluted again, then he led the horse and left along the way.
"Are these rice and grain?"
Ming Chongyan walked up, touched it lightly with his toes, then squatted down, opened one of the pockets, and reached out to grab it.
Golden chestnut rice poured out from his fingers.
Ming Chongyan immediately smiled at his aunt: "Okay, that's great. With these, it's enough to support you for a while. Don't worry about being hungry for the time being."
"It seems you are really scared of hunger."
Su Dawei teased him and said, "Your dignified alien, can you starve to death in this plump land?"
"What do you know!"
Ming Chongyan looked up and said sarcastically: "This time, the drought was last year, and this year it was flooded. Then there was a locust plague, and then the epidemic was another. How much do you think there is still food? Not to mention wild animals, even the bark that can be eaten has been eaten. I'm afraid that you'll dig a few feet of the ground now, and not even the grass roots that can be eaten."
"Well……"
Su Dawei was speechless.
When I remembered that when I came, I saw a decay along the way, like a locust passing through the border.
At that time, I thought it was locusts gnawing.
Thinking about it now, it may be that the hungry people are seeking to survive.
"Not to mention grassroots and barks, people get hungry and even locusts eat..."
Ming Chongyan's face showed a hint of fear: "I heard from those servants that when they were extremely hungry, they overthrew the local Locust Temple and went to the wild to catch the insects to eat."
He shook his head: "I really can't imagine how humans... can eat those insects. I thought eating some wild fruits and grass roots is terrible enough... I also heard them say that someone who eats locusts and actually poisons them. What kind of place is this Huang'an Town in Bashu..."
He was still feeling the truth, but he could not see Su Dawei and others reply to him. He turned around and took a pound of food.
Su Dawei and Li Bo and the others were sitting around the campfire at some point, holding a bowl and waiting for the hot soup.
"A bad thief, I won't call me if I want to have dinner!"
The poor handsome young man in Chang'an has no image at this time, and the aristocratic temperament of the past has been thrown aside.
Holding the broken porcelain bowl in his hand, he ignored the gray stains on the ground. He squeezed up viciously like Su Dawei and the others, and sat on the ground: "Leave me a bowl."
"Don't worry, there are so many."
Su Dawei stretched out his wooden spoon and scooped in the iron pot.
When they came, they brought a lot of marching food and jerky. Although the taste was average, they cooked into a pot of hot soup, which could bring satiation to hungry people.
"By the way, what did Di Renjie write to you just now?"
Ming Chongyan stared at the broth with his eyes curled up, his nose twitched slightly, and he asked casually.
"You really want to know?"
"If you like to say or not."
"Ha, right and wrong."
Su Dawei smiled: "Brother Di Renjie said that he knew that the situation in Huang'an County was in a difficult situation. He would bring me some people in the near future, so he would first control the local epidemic, and then check the source of the plague with me."
"It's still a plague. After experiencing what happened last night, do you still believe it's a plague?"
"It's not a plague, so someone is poisoning. Brother Di Renjie is the best at tearing down the thread and deciphering cases as if they are gods. With him here, we can also clarify the clues as soon as possible."
"The local epidemic...all people died."
Ming Chongyan frowned: "Is it all dead? Is it considered to be controlled?"
"My mother, it is precisely because of this that we have to find out the source of the epidemic. The people who fled Huang'an Town and whether those people were poisoned must be investigated one by one. When everything is done, we have to recruit refugees again and restore the old appearance of Huang'an Town."
"It's not easy."
Ming Chongyan scoffed at all this: "There are many things that cannot be found out, just like Minzhi's things, and I still don't know who did it."
His eyes drifted towards Su Dawei vaguely.
"Don't look at me, I've said that I'm fighting outside, and Chang'an has nothing to do with me."
"Do you really think that this dead town can still recruit refugees to rebuild? Who do you think you are?"
Ming Chongyan sneered and said, "Are you a Tianshi? Or can you turn stones into gold? Can you turn grain?"
"Although I don't have the ability to turn stones into gold, I still have a way of fighting."
Su Dawei said confidently: "It is not difficult to deal with the epidemic here."
"I've never seen someone as shameless as you."
Ming Chongyan said with disgust: "Brave yourself!"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes widened, and he watched Su Dawei scooped a full bowl of broth for himself, sucking the heat while sucking it along the edge of the bowl.
The others also started to fight together, snatching the broth like a hungry wolf.
Chapter completed!
