Volume 1: Treacherous Officials Disturb State Administration Chapter 149: Disaster Relief Food Discovered(1/2)
"Yinxing."
"The little one is here."
Although the old man knew that the person calling him was not him, his heart was beating very fast for some reason.
The old man looked straight at Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu.
"Let him go for now."
As soon as the master's words came out, the housekeeper Yin Xing thought he heard the words wrong.
"Master, are you letting me go now?" the butler confirmed.
"Let it go." The master insisted.
At this time, the housekeeper Yin Xing just let the old man go.
As soon as the old man got up, he moved his whole body, trying to drive away all the pain.
"Yinxing."
"The little one is here."
"Tighten the lids on these coffins and restore them to their original state."
"Master, have you found the real murderer?" Butler Yin Xing was curious.
Guo Yushi shook his head: "Just do it."
"Eh."
After answering, Yin Xing went to close the coffin lid, while the old man on the side looked at this scene and was about to leave.
Just after taking a step or two, he was stopped by Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu.
"You! Come here, together."
After Guo Yushi's words, the old man stopped and walked over.
After closing all the coffin lids and burying the soil, several people sat on the thatched ground and rested.
While he was resting, the butler Yin Xing asked: "Master, where should we go next?"
Looking at the face of the steward Yin Xing, Guo Yushi's eyes shifted to the old man.
Looking at the master's eyes, the housekeeper Yin Xing looked over.
Seeing the way the two looked at him, the old man felt a little flustered.
"What are you looking at me for? I've done what I need to explain, and I've done what I need to do. Can I... go?" the old man asked.
"Where is your home?" Guo Yushi asked.
Upon hearing this and looking at the two people, the old man knew that lying was useless, so he had to tell the truth: "It's over there, just a few steps away."
"Let's go, take us there." Guo Yushi said.
Upon hearing this, the old man was very frightened: "You are so good, why do you go to my house? I don't have rice for you to eat."
After listening to the old man's words, Guo Yushi laughed: "Don't worry, we won't touch a grain of your rice."
After saying this, the three of them stood up and patted the soil on their bodies.
The old man walked in front to lead the way, Guo Yushi walked in the middle, and the steward Yin Xing walked behind with two long knives in his hands.
One belongs to the master and the other belongs to me.
I walked and followed the old man's footsteps. Indeed, as he said, I walked out of the dense forest in just a few steps.
What came into view was a large piece of flat land, with several families here. A stream of water passed by in front of the house, and a few ducks were seen playing in the water. A wooden bridge made of wood, and two children could be seen at the end of the bridge.
I was playing on the street. Thick smoke came out of the chimney of one of the houses, and the smoke disappeared with the wind. Farmland, livestock, food, you can say everything.
Looking at such a scene, it really feels like a paradise.
"There is such a place here." Guo Yushi said with a smile.
After hearing this, the old man on the side said: "I have lived in a place like this since I was born." Then, the old man pointed to the wide road and said: "This road leads to the official road. If you take this road, you can reach the official road."
The nearby Fuzhou County has been built by generations of people."
"Then if you live in this place, you don't have to pay any taxes." Guo Yushi said.
"The officials were joking. This road leads to the official road and can go to various prefectures and counties. How can I not have to pay court taxes?"
Looking at such a scene, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, felt so happy that he really wanted to use all his belongings to build this place into his own garden.
"Okay, it's still important to investigate the case."
After finishing speaking, Guo Yushi walked down the ridge paved with bluestones.
After walking a few steps, I saw a family hiding and closing the doors and windows.
Seeing this, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, looked at the steward Yin Xing on the side with a questioning look on his face: "Is there something on the master's face?"
Butler Yin Xing took a closer look and said, "No."
Seeing this, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, made up his mind to find out what happened: "Yinxing, let's go and have a look."
Seeing that Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, was about to leave, the old man leading the way smiled slightly: "Official, are you not going to my house now?"
Guo Kang waved anxiously, indicating that he was not going, and hurried towards that house.
When we arrived at that house, all the doors and windows were closed.
"Hey! Is there anyone there?" Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, shouted.
After not hearing a word from the house for a long time, Guo Yushi looked at the steward Yin Xing beside him.
Although he didn't say anything, he could understand what he meant from his eyes.
Then, the two of them walked towards the wall together.
The fence of this family is made of mud, and the height of the fence is not very high. It is only one head taller than Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu.
The two squatted in the corner and discussed quietly.
I saw that the two of them had their heads a little bit.
The master stood up, but the butler Yin Xing was still squatting in the corner.
Mr. Guo raised one foot and stepped on one shoulder of the housekeeper Yin Xing, and then raised his other foot and stepped on the other shoulder of Yin Xing.
Guo Kang successfully clung to the wall and could see clearly what was inside.
There was no one in the yard, and a few chickens were roaming freely in the yard. Under the eaves, a few bundles of dry firewood stood beside the wall. Looking at the appearance inside, it didn't look like anyone was living there.
Guo Kang got off Yin Xing's shoulder and looked at Yin Xing: "Who dares to be so afraid of me? Is there something you are hiding from me?" After muttering to himself, Guo Yushi ordered: "Go, hold the door."
Pull away!"
"Yes, sir."
I don't know whether it was because the door was in disrepair and could not withstand the kick of housekeeper Yin Xing, or because Yin Xing was too strong and the door fell to the ground with one kick.
Entering the courtyard, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, smiled slightly: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
Several calls were made, but no one responded.
As they walked, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, came to the main entrance and called out again: "Is there anyone there?"
Still no one responded.
Guo Kang squinted his eyes and looked into the house through the crack in the door, and indeed saw the shadow of a person.
"Yinxing."
The master shouted and looked over. Yin Xing immediately understood what the master meant, kicked the door, and opened it.
I saw a couple hugging each other in the house, with frightened faces visible on their faces. There was also a cart of things covered with cloth around them.
"Yinxing, go and see what's covered there."
"yes."
The housekeeper Yin Xing walked over, pulled the cloth open with some force, and dust instantly spread into the simple wooden house.
"Sir, it's food."
At the words of the steward Yin Xing, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, walked over and took a closer look. It was indeed grain.
In an instant, Guo Yushi asked the couple.
"Where did this food come from?!" Guo Yushi said with an accusing tone.
The two of them said nothing and hugged each other, looking very nervous.
For such people, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, liked to use violence to solve problems.
"Yinxing, go."
Butler Yin Xing pulled out a long knife, put it on their necks, and threatened: "Say! If you dare not tell, I will wipe your necks."
When the butler Yin Xing threatened them, the couple knelt down and kowtowed in recognition of their mistake.
