Chapter 293 Watching the fun secretly
The governor was even more confused.
Last time, it was just an excuse that the child could not be found. At most, he would spread some rumors and say that he had found it, so as to establish a magical image for the abbot.
Why are you still raising issues now? He still vowed to show up today.
What happened?
The governor vaguely felt that this matter was not as he imagined and was a little out of his control.
Is this what Mr. Mo meant?
The governor took the words and changed the subject: "This matter is my private matter, abbot, I won't mention private matters at this time, only business matters. Xu Cheng is outstanding. I heard that there is still a shortage of food in the city. This is really not a good thing." A sign."
"Why do you say this, sir?" Mrs. Qi was surprised. "The smell is real and everyone has smelled it. But what did you say about the food shortage? Where did you start?"
The governor frowned and looked at her: "Where to start? Madam Qi, you are a wife from the back house. You have stayed in the house for a long time, so naturally you don't know what is going on outside. These days, what common people don't know how to buy grain?" arrive?"
He chuckled softly: "Maybe the Qi family has a great business and there is a lot of food in the family, but Madam didn't notice it, right?"
Yan Ruyu heard clearly and sneered softly, the governor knew how to attract hatred.
With just a few words, he stirred up resentment in the hearts of the people.
The governor continued: "Master also said that visions from heaven are meant to warn us! Someone has offended Tianyan and made the gods angry together!"
"Then what you are saying is that our Qi family offended Tianyan and made the gods angry?"
The governor did not confirm or deny: "Yes or no, everyone has their own justice in their hearts! The occurrence of the Thunder God before is an omen!"
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly, Thunder God? Was it the time she blew up that incense shop? The governor even mentioned this, which is really asking for death.
Mrs. Qi sneered and said: "What thunder god? I have never heard of it. Lord Governor, your family lost the child and did the Buddhist work. Why are you talking about our family now? You started it, and in the end Is the matter going to happen to my family?"
Mrs. Qi waved her hand: "I don't understand these things about you. I just know that the Qi family has a clear conscience and has never heard of the food shortage!"
"If you haven't heard of it, then ask the shopkeepers of several shops!"
There were many people gathered here, including people from various shops. The governor saw them both at a glance and asked them to come out and answer.
Both of them said truthfully: "There is indeed little rice in the shop."
Just as the governor was about to question him, the shopkeeper of Qian's rice shop said loudly: "My rice shop is not in short supply!"
Everyone looked for fame and went out, and the governor also frowned and looked over.
Qian's shop is big and many people recognize him.
Mrs. Qi said: "Please come out and say something!"
The shopkeeper of the Qian family squeezed out of the crowd and bowed his hands to the people around him: "Sir, Mrs. Qi, everyone, I am the shopkeeper of Pujia Mipu. Our family has no shortage of rice. I dare not say anything else. If Xu Cheng can be guaranteed A few months’ worth of food, that’s not a problem.”
The governor was startled: "Are you serious?"
"Seriously, how dare you talk nonsense in front of adults?" The shopkeeper of the Qian family handed over his hand again, "A batch of new rice just arrived yesterday. I personally registered it in the account. There is absolutely no falsehood!"
The governor's eyes narrowed slightly and his heart beat a little faster.
Mrs. Qi chuckled: "It's really interesting that the governor doesn't know about the things that I, a housewife, know."
"Sir, my husband once said, you said that the civil servants are the pillars of the world, and the military generals are just reckless men. They should be used like mules and horses when they are in use, and they should be suppressed when not in use. I originally thought that you are a noble person. The city governor would not say such words, and he had a few quarrels with my husband. When I saw him today, I felt that I should apologize to my husband."
"Lord Governor, have you noticed my husband's dissatisfaction for a long time and specifically picked a time when he was not at home to bully me, a woman?"
"You..." the governor gritted his teeth, "Where did Madam Qi start with these words? I have never said that military generals are not good!"
"Yes or no, your actions prove it. You brought people here, and you accused them fiercely. There was no food in the city, so you found a way to open an official warehouse. This is considered to be your best effort, but you didn't come to my door. I Just ask, if you surround my house, what can I do for you? Transport all the food from my house?"
"Lord Governor, you do have a good plan."
Governor: "..."
He lowered his face and glanced anxiously at the crowd.
Yan Ruyu was always paying attention to him. Seeing him like this, she knew that she was looking for Mr. Mo, and immediately followed his gaze and searched everywhere.
However, there was no sign of Mr. Mo in the crowd.
From the southwest, a carriage came.
The street was full of pedestrians, and a carriage appeared at this time, which was particularly eye-catching.
Master Abbot suddenly said: "Southwest, Amitabha."
Everyone looked at the governor, could this be... the young master of the governor's family coming back?
As they got closer, they discovered that there was no one driving the carriage.
The coachman should have got off the carriage early and let the carriage approach slowly.
The governor didn't know why, but everyone felt that his child was back, so he had no choice but to welcome him.
The carriage had a shed and could not be seen inside. The governor's men stopped the carriage and the governor went to the carriage door.
"My lord, I'm coming."
The men lifted the curtain of the car, and there was a small box inside. When they lifted the box down, everyone onlookers could see clearly: there was indeed a child inside, but it was not alive, but a corpse.
Moreover, it was beyond recognition and could no longer clearly see its true face.
The timid one quickly closed his eyes, turned his head and looked away, and someone else exclaimed.
The governor was stunned, holding back his nausea, holding the box with trembling hands, and said in pain: "...son, son...my virtuous son..."
Everyone sighed, it was really the governor's child!
This is too bad!
The governor cried bitterly, looked back at the abbot, and said loudly: "Master, please tell me who killed my child! Why did my child die tragically?"
The abbot sighed and said in a deep voice: "My Buddha is compassionate and shouldn't retaliate unjustly. The governor is so sad, it is really a great suffering in the world."
"Forget it, I'll just take the risk and let the governor know!"
"Sir, Young Master Ling has been conquered by others. He who has a tough life is stronger. Young Master is still young and not as good as the other one. If he is not taken good care of, it is not surprising that he will suffer some disasters."
"Has my son been kidnapped?" After the governor asked, he stood up immediately and glared at Mrs. Qi without waiting for the master's answer.
"It's the Qi family! It's your Qi family!"
"You keep talking about protecting the people, but are you really doing it for protection? Killing those bandits, isn't it partly for yourself?
Establish your authority, your iron-blooded wrists, your hands are full of lives, who else in this city can be tougher than you! "
Yan Ruyu's fists hardened when she heard that she could actually say such nonsense.
