Chapter 51 Chapter 51
The dark clouds that had shrouded Qianzhou City for three years finally dissipated, and the people in the city cheered. The relatives who had been missing for many years returned to them miraculously. While they were happy, they were grateful for everything Gong Que had done for them.
When Gong Que and Yue Yin came out of the Fuya, they saw that the gate of the Fuya was crowded with the people in the city. They all gathered here spontaneously because they wanted to express their gratitude to Gong Que, not only those who were rescued by Gong Que , and their families, or other people in the city.
When everyone saw the palace, their eyes lit up immediately, and they all stepped forward to express their gratitude to the palace. Some even brought eggs from their own old hens.If it wasn't for the guards blocking them, I'm afraid they would rush up and surround the two of them, but even if they were stopped by the guards a foot away, they still couldn't resist their enthusiasm.
"My lord, you are really a living Buddha, the head of my family is only able to go home thanks to you!"
"My lord, thank you so much, I thought I would never see him again!"
"That's right! My lord, we don't have anything good to offer. If you don't mind this basket of eggs, just accept it!"
...
Listening to what they said, Yue Yin burst out laughing beside him.
It was also the first time for Gong Que to see such a scene. Facing the unreserved gratitude from the people, he felt at a loss for what to do. When he heard Yue Yin laughing at the side, his ears turned red, and he didn't know if it was from the cold.
"Okay, okay, folks, my lord has seen your sincerity, folks, save your things for the New Year, you can't have them." Yue Yin stepped forward and waved his hands to calm the people down, "It's cold , everyone, go back, my lord still has something to do, you will make it difficult for you to block the door like this." Yue Yin said and looked back at the palace.
"That's right, let's break up, we can't delay the important matters of your lord." A person who seemed to have some reputation stood up and said, and the people below immediately echoed, and after saying a few words of thanks, they slowly left Opened, no longer blocking the way of the two of them.
"Let's go." Seeing that the crowd had already made way for them, Yue Yin turned his head and said to the palace.
Gong Que followed Yue Yin and walked out. Although he didn't say anything when passing by the people, he smiled and nodded to them.
"You haven't seen such a scene, have you?" Yue Yin asked with a smile after the two walked for a while.
"Indeed not, thank you just now." Gong Que replied.
"You have been in the court all the time, so naturally you have never seen the simple folk customs in the countryside. It can be seen that the people of Qianzhou are very grateful to you." Yue Yin smiled lightly.
"Well, if Yang Chong took more responsibility, he would be treated like this by the common people," Gong Que said.
Yue Yin stopped, looked at Gong Que and said, "You mean, Yang Chong already knew there was a problem with that mine?"
"Yes, although he didn't say it clearly, he always meant something." Gong Que tightened his cloak for Yue Yin.
"He knew that the disappearance of the people was due to the secret workshop in the mine, but he never took any action. It took three years before he dared to report it to the court?" Yue Yin was puzzled.
"It didn't take three years. He should have discovered the truth behind it not long ago. When he wanted to do something, he found that the person behind the dark workshop was not his. He chose to turn a blind eye to protect himself." .” Gong Que said.
"Then why did he dare to report to the court again?" Yue Yin asked as he walked.
"The reason why I didn't touch Yang Chong is also because of this. It can be seen that he still cares about the people, so although he didn't dare to do it himself, he found an opportunity to report it to the court and wanted the court to do it. In this way, he would offend The danger of people has been transferred." Gong Que smiled disdainfully.
"So Yang Chong knows who is behind it?" Yue Yin said.
"Yin, you are not in the officialdom, so you don't know the doorway, but as long as someone beats and beats Yang Chong, he can understand what he can do and what he can't do." Gong Que's eyes were a little dark when he said this.
"You are not afraid of anything, you dare to offend anyone." Yue Yin said with a smile.
"I was not afraid of anything before," Gong Que said, turning his head, looking at Yue Yin with deep eyes, "but now I am only afraid of one thing, and that is losing you."
Yue Yin looked at Gong Que, he knew that what Gong Que said was serious, there was not only deep affection in those deep eyes, but also some inexplicable sentimentality hidden in the depths.
"No." Yue Yin looked at the palace, his eyes and expression were unprecedentedly firm.
Gong Que closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them with a faint smile: "En." Then he tightly held Yue Yin's hand.
Dongzi was cleaning the table in the room, ready to start today's business, when he looked up, he saw Yue Yin and Gong Que walking towards this side.
When Yue Yin and Gong Que had just reached the door, Dongzi had already thrown the rag and ran up: "Why are you two gentlemen here? Come in and sit down." Dongzi wiped the stool and asked the two to sit down, facing the inner room Shouted: "Aniang, my two benefactors are here!"
As soon as Yue Yin sat down, he heard this voice, and suddenly laughed: "What did you call us?"
"Benege!" Dongzi smiled heartily.
"Stop yelling like that, it's really unbearable to be a living Buddha and benefactor, hahaha!" Yue Yin couldn't stop laughing.
"The two gentlemen are living Buddhas and benefactors!" The old woman opened the door curtain with a pot of tea and came out with a smile.
"That's right! If it weren't for the two young masters, I might not have seen my mother, not to mention that the two young masters saved the people in the entire city of Qianzhou." Dongzi took the tray from the old woman's hand and gave it to her. Yue Yin and Gong Que each poured a bowl of hot tea, "I have nothing to entertain, so I have to treat the two gentlemen to a bowl of hot tea."
Gong Que looked at the steaming tea in front of him and smiled politely, while Yue Yin took a sip of the tea, raised his smiling face and said to the old woman, "Auntie, how is your illness?"
Seeing Yue Yin being so polite to her, the old woman was flattered and at the same time she smiled happily: "Young Master Lao is worried, it is almost better, and it is all thanks to you, Young Master," she said respectfully to Gong Que: "There is also this My lord, there is really nothing to repay."
"You're being polite." Gong Que signaled the old lady not to be so cautious, "Yin and I came this time because we wanted to know something about Dongzi."
"Yes, although Dongzi has only been in there for a short time, he has had a lot of contact with that group of people, so I have to ask Dongzi about some things." Yue Yin looked at Dongzi and said.
Dongzi patted his chest: "Ask me if you have anything! I will tell you everything I know."
"Do you know what they used to forge those armored weapons?" Gong Que asked.
Dongzi frowned after hearing the first question: "I really don't know about this. I asked tentatively, and they only told me not to worry about it so much, just follow orders, and don't talk too much."
"Then where did they put the forged weapons and armor?" Yue Yin asked.
"Well, I've seen it before. It's all packed in wooden boxes and shipped out." Dongzi happened to meet the job of boxing at that time.
"Presumably they won't tell you where it's going to be shipped." Yue Yin pondered for a moment, "Have you met the person in charge?"
"I don't know if it's true, but someone came over that day and told them that they have been uneasy recently and told them to pay attention. They don't look like they are from Qianzhou." Dongzi recalled.
"Where does he seem to be from?" Gong Que asked.
"Well, looking at it this way, it looks somewhat similar to you, young master." Dongzi said with some uncertainty.
Yue Yin knew that Dongzi's resemblance did not refer to looks, of course: "Chenzhou people?"
Gong Que began to tap on the table again and again.
It is really not easy to secretly forge the weapons and armor used on the battlefield, and to have a relationship with Chenzhou.
"What's the matter? Hasn't this case been solved? The theory of the white fox's revenge has also been broken, and the people of Qianzhou have lived a peaceful life again." Dongzi looked at the two's frowning brows and was a little puzzled.
"Well, that's right, it's been resolved." Yueyin affirmed, "I remember that Dongzi, you and Auntie didn't believe in the white fox's revenge at the time, but they were more transparent than others."
As soon as these words came out, both Dongzi and the old woman froze, and their expressions dimmed.
"Actually, it's not that our mothers are transparent, it's just that we can't believe that nonsense." The old woman sighed and said.
"Why?" Gong Que answered, Yue Yin knew that he might have said something wrong, but Gong Que didn't know the reason.
"Alas—" the old woman sighed, "This has to start with my poor Dongzi's father. Now it seems that Dongzi's father should have been killed by the people in the dark workshop." The woman shed tears as she spoke, "That happened a year ago. Dongzi's father went to the mountain to collect firewood, but as soon as he went there, he disappeared. When we found him, he was already out of breath. Someone said He was killed by the white fox. Some people said that the white fox would not look for him at such an age. He slipped and fell to his death. But Dongzi and I looked at the faintly visible finger prints on his father's neck. You don’t want to believe anyone’s words, you’ve been murdered!”
"Aniang, don't cry." Dongzi patted the old woman's back lightly, and continued: "At that time we found my father in a ravine, the terrain was dangerous there, and my father would not go there Over there, how could it be possible that he fell down by himself. We asked the official to decide, but he dragged on for half a year and then hastily settled the matter without giving us an explanation. If we hadn't met the two young masters now, maybe we still wouldn't I will know why my father is gone."
"I'm afraid that your father saw something that he shouldn't have seen, so he suffered such a disaster." Yue Yin sighed.
"My condolences." Gong Que said to Dong Zi and the old woman.
"Fortunately, the two gentlemen brought Dongzi back to me, otherwise I really don't know how to live." The old woman wiped away her tears, and held Dongzi's hand.
Yueyin and Gongque put on their cloaks and came out of the small teahouse. They wanted to find some clues from Dongzi, but they didn't find anything big, but they heard a sad story.
"It seems that the reason why Yang Chong was able to find out about the mine is probably because of Dongzi's father." Yue Yin said.
"Well, it's a pity that he found out but didn't dare to offend the people behind it. Now that I think about it, the reason why they chose Qianzhou is not only because of the resources of the mine, but also because of Yang Chong's fearful temperament." Gong Que road.
"Now that they run away, the clues will be cut off. Where do you start to investigate?" Yue Yin said, "And now that you've ruined their good deed, I'm afraid it won't let you live a stable life." Although Yue Yin was not afraid However, if the palace is endangered, he will inevitably feel a little worried.
"This matter is of great importance. I still have to go back to Chenzhou to report to the imperial court. I'm afraid that this matter will also have something to do with the people of Chenzhou. If I dare to forge weapons and armor privately, I'm afraid they have different intentions." Gong Que said angrily. Swinging his sleeves, "If they want to touch me, they can come. I have never been afraid of open and dark arrows since I was a child."
Yue Yin looked at Gong Que at this time, and knew that Gong Que was still different from him.
He is used to being free and undisciplined, and he doesn't have the righteousness of the family and the country in his heart. It is his habit to help each other when he sees injustice; but Gong Que is a person who grew up in that environment since he was a child. When he is an official, he thinks not only about the people but also about the country. world.
Yue Yin didn't think about it any more, since he came here to help Gong Que investigate the case, he definitely didn't give up halfway, this is not his style of acting.
"Whether it's an open spear or a hidden arrow, I will carry it with you." Yue Yin patted Gong Que's shoulder and held it down.
Gong Que was naturally happy to hear Yue Yin say this, but he still didn't want to involve Yue Yin, so he smiled and said: "But the New Year's Day is approaching, you should go back to Yizhou, this case is not urgent, they all It has been prepared for three years, and I will definitely not be in a hurry at this time."
"That being said, it should be sooner rather than later." Yue Yin put down his hand.
"Well, I will send someone to follow." Gong Que said.
