That night, they both went to bed early.And Dongfang Chi is indeed the same as usual, he is still writing documents in the middle of the night, he is writing down what he sees and thinks every day, this has become his habit, and he has written nine books and put them in his bookcase, which is a habit he has developed after coming to Pingyuan County to serve as a county guard.Ah Tong brought water in and saw that Dongfang Chi was still writing at the desk, he only lit an oil lamp in order to save money, Ah Tong had to walk very carefully, so as not to trip, the range that the oil lamp can illuminate is very small."
My lord, let's rest early, don't worry too much about it today, the court has asked the queen to come over, I want to come."
Plains County will soon be settled, and the lives of those people will not be so miserable. ”Ah Tong carefully put the tea on the table, and there was a plate of fried rice, Dongfang Chi was surprised and looked at Ah Tong."
It's a little bit of food that I left for in advance.We haven't eaten bacon since we were fifteen, I scrambled it with bacon and some salted eggs leftover, and there is not much rice on this plate, you hurry up and eat it, I know you didn't eat much tonight, you can't be hungry, if you are hungry, what about the people of Pingyuan County?
Eat it!
”Ah Tong is like a relative and a master and servant relationship with Dongfang Chi, Ah Tong's words moved Dongfang Chi, he was indeed hungry, and he didn't hesitate to pick up the spoon and send the fried rice to his mouth."
It seems that this queen is better than I thought, she also gave silver, you do a good job of her food here, if you don't have enough money, you have to borrow it, you have to let her live well, otherwise it may be the people of Pingyuan County who will suffer in the end, and I don't care if I'm alone."
Dongfang Chi didn't care about his life, but Shen Qiqi's identity was too special after all, and Ah Tong quickly nodded to understand what he meant.This night, Dongfang Chi had the same routine as usual, and the next day Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao were waiting for him, and they went out after a simple morning, but it was not Dongfang Chi who accompanied them out, but Ah Tong.Dongfang Chi needed to go to the government office in case something happened and he needed to deal with it, Ah Tong went out with them with a vegetable basket, saying that he could buy vegetables by the way.Shen Qiqi saw that there were things pressed in the vegetable basket and wrapped in cloth.Shen Qiqi walked on the street, the street in the morning was indeed different from yesterday afternoon, there were more people, many vendors were also busy shouting and doing business, there were more people and more dust, Shen Qiqi had already prepared, took out a face towel and covered her face, through the soft face towel, she could still feel the dust in the air floating.Qi Zhao also saw that the people here were mainly men, and women rarely saw girls walking through them, except for the elderly and children."
Princess, it seems that all the girls here should have left or hid at home, there is no one, let's find a family to ask."
Qi Zhao felt an invisible tension in the air, the people here seemed to be frightened birds, everyone was in a hurry to buy things, and after they bought them, they hurriedly raised their feet and went home, it was rare to see anyone chatting with street vendors or acquaintances, and everyone had vigilance in their eyes.Shen Qiqi agreed with Qi Zhao's statement, she also felt that the atmosphere here was very tense, looked around, the expressions of the pedestrians stung her, and even the snacks on the side of the road could not attract her attention, and Qi Zhao was also looking around, but the person he was looking at was different from Shen Qiqi, he was looking for people he was familiar with twice, he saw a pair of familiar eyes in an inconspicuous corner, and the familiar eyes shot a familiar look at him, and he was relieved."
I'll take the two of you, there's a girl in the neighborhood who is missing, please come with me."
Ah Tong listened to them and made a gesture of invitation to them, and he led the way in front.Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao followed Ah Tong forward, and they walked soon before they came to a house on the side of the road, this house looks very simple, and there is a layer of thatch on the roof, but the house is made of bricks, and it looks like a very small place in front of ordinary people, there are so few flowers and plants in it, but even in spring, those flowers and plants are all withered, and only a little green is still barely struggling."
The family's surname is Liang, and their daughter disappeared three months ago."
After Ah Tong finished speaking, he stepped forward and knocked on the door for a while, someone inside came and opened the door, it was a half-old man with gray hair and beard, his face was withered, his eyes were sunken in his eye sockets, and he recognized Ah Tong after looking at Ah Tong for a while."
It's me, I'm here to bring you some food, haven't you eaten meat these days?"
Ah Tong took out the things wrapped in cloth from the basket and handed them to the man, the man took the cloth bag from Ah Tong's hand, he turned around and went into his room, Ah Tong gave Shen Qiqi a look, and Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao followed in.Later, Shen Qiqi learned that the one that Ah Tong gave to Uncle Liang was a bag of bacon, and the bacon they were reluctant to eat was given to the people."
You can call him Uncle Liang, they only have one daughter."
Ah Tong's words speak for themselves, he gave them to Shen Qiqi at twenty, because their only daughter disappeared, and their family became like this.Uncle Liang beckoned them in, and this was also a family with four walls.In the corner of the room sat a woman with a sad face, who seemed to be the girl's mother.She stared at a certain point with her eyes blank, and didn't raise her head when she heard someone coming in, Uncle Liang saw Ah Tong bring Shen Qiqi and Qizhao in, and he also cheered up and wanted to wipe the chairs for them to sit on, but the chairs at home were too dusty, and Shen Qiqi stopped him."
Uncle Liang doesn't need to wipe it, we won't be tired when we stand."
Shen Qiqi saw that almost all of this place was dusty, only the place where the woman was sitting was cleaner, thinking that they didn't usually clean it.However, Shen Qiqi felt the sadness of their loss of their daughter, thinking that it should be the belief that they were waiting for the missing daughter to come back safely to support them, otherwise they couldn't imagine whether they would also follow their daughter, Shen Qiqi felt a sense of grief and indignation in his heart when he thought of this."
No matter who you are, I have to pay the price for doing such a thing, you destroyed not only an innocent girl, but also her family, what you did is too hateful."
Shen Qiqi lowered his head and muttered to himself, Ah Tong heard it but didn't hear it clearly, and was about to ask Shen Qiqi what he said, Uncle Liang had already spoken, and his voice seemed to come from a long distance, with indescribable pathos and sadness.Shen Qiqi had to be very careful to hear clearly, after all, this was not a pleasant memory.() The eldest princess: Regent, ask for a hug
