Chapter 803: question

After Dilong turned around, Yucheng was in chaos. Officials can't control it, and they can only rely on the common people to find ways to save themselves.

Fortunately, many people followed suit and set up tents outside, and moved food and some important belongings out of their homes. Apart from the collapse of the house, there was not much loss at this moment.

There is money, food, and almost every household has a strong labor force. The next step is to start renovating the house.

Fortunately, it is summer now, and there is no room for people to live in the house, so I can continue to sleep in the yard or on the street. Poor people all have thatched-roof houses. When earth dragons turn over and the thatch falls, people can still climb out from under the haystacks, but those who suffer the most are those who can afford to live in brick houses.

There are also some newly rebuilt houses. Because the foundation is solid, only a few tiles have fallen off and are slightly damaged. The teahouse opposite the inn is like this.

Li Haitang discussed with the shopkeeper of the teahouse that this place will be used as a temporary medical clinic, and people who are injured and bleeding in the earthquake can come here to bandage without charging money.

I heard that no money is required, there was a long queue in front of the teahouse, and there were quite a lot of people looking for Li Haitang to see a doctor.

With the help of Baiguo, Wufu is responsible for delivering things, and the efficiency is quite high, while Xiangli and Mrs. Wang can get started very quickly, so they are busy from morning to night, and their lives are very fulfilling.

When a natural disaster occurs, everyone is not in the mood to listen to books, so the storyteller is idle every day, working with a group of people.

During the conversation, Li Haitang became acquainted with the storyteller. For this reason, he also learned that he is a storyteller.

The storyteller’s surname is Xie Mingwu, and his family lives in the outskirts of the capital of Daqi. He passed the examination as a scholar in the year of the crown, but he himself can’t get excited about the scientific examination, and prefers strange news and weird things. He is different from others. Have heard, irresponsible, regardless of the truth of the matter.

But Xie Wu is different, he likes to go back to the source and understand the truth of the matter. After that, he started to write down what he knew in the pamphlet.

There are many things that are very weird, and he hopes that others will know. For this reason, he disregarded his family's opposition and became a storyteller.

"Yucheng is only three days away from Yangshu Village. My neighbor passed by and just came back from Yangshu Village. He went to the yamen to sit in on the case. He knew everything about it. Otherwise, no one would believe me if I told others about it."

Xie Wu talked about the relationship between the village chief and the Liu family. The only two sons died tragically.

In response to that sentence, karma is not due to the unethical parents, but the root cause is that they did not educate their sons well.

The mistake is not to take the stupid son seriously. In fact, no matter how stupid he is, he still understands some instincts. He neglected to discipline the younger son and let him be a bully in the village, which eventually led to tragedy.

Li Haitang agrees very much, even if the village head and the Liu family have an affair, which is unacceptable, but after all, it is one's own family's business. With the door closed, who wants to meddle in other people's family's business?

They can't hinder others, and no one cares about them. The fault lies in the character of these two people. For their own selfishness, they shamelessly calculated the Hua family.

"By the way, brother Xie, is there any latest progress on the case of Yang Xu in Jingdu?"

During the break, Li Haitang asked Xie Wu again. I'm afraid he knew the best.

Xiangli put down the teacup, her eyes were empty, she tried to find something for herself these two times, so as not to think about anything else. As long as Yang Xu is mentioned, she will be out of her mind.

"No."

There is a caravan in Kyoto, which goes to Beidi Lucheng to take goods every month, and passes by Yucheng.

The people in the caravan are all listening to books, as long as they come here, they must sit in the teahouse for a while, and the other party inquired about Yang Xu's case for him.

The bodyguards of the caravan knew Xie Wu's temper, and one of them was his acquaintance, so when they inquired, they couldn't help being more attentive.

The Yang Xu case was full of turmoil. Mr. Jing Zhaoyi and Zhang Zheng insisted on asking Dali Temple to give an explanation, and then submitted the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

However, the court is chaotic, the officials are protecting each other, and the Du family is powerful, so no one dares to oppose the Du family.

But if Du Ruo and a woman disguised themselves as men and went to Songhe Academy, where they mixed with many scholars, their fame would definitely be gone.

"She kills and dismembers her body. She is so vicious and wants to be famous?"

Xiangli was very excited, biting her lips until she turned white. Although she had thought of this a long time ago, it felt different when someone said it to her face.

Her chest heaved and she felt resentful.

"No one dares to be a witness, so she just needs to pass everything on to the servants."

For example, when Du Ruohe talked to his personal servant girl, the servant girl was loyal, afraid that her daughter's secret would be exposed, so she made her own decisions and asked someone to kill Yang Xu.

In this way, from the beginning to the end, she was not close to Du Ruo. She didn't know that the servant girl did such a thing, so she could completely evade it.

Xie Wu shook his head. Some time ago, when the caravan came here, they didn't know about the case, but they were well-informed. They learned that Chen Chun and Du Ruohe were sent to Zhuangzi to avoid the limelight, and they would bring them back when the people forgot about it. .

Songhe Academy was not affected. Several scholars who complained about Yang Xu were beaten up for no reason, and some were disfigured.

In Daqi, one of the most important requirements for officials is to have good facial features and a flawless body.

Being disfigured, even if he won the first prize in the examination, he would not be able to become an official, and his official career came to an abrupt end.

This is tantamount to choking the throats of the scholars. They study hard in cold windows, so they will be awarded official positions after passing the Jinshi examination, and then honor their ancestors?

After this incident, Songhe Academy was extremely quiet, and no one talked about this topic anymore.

Xiangli was very depressed, and when Li Haitang was carrying someone on her back, she whispered, "If you keep doing this, it's useless. Yang Xu is gone, and the most worrying thing is his parents. You two are childhood sweethearts, so you still have to hold on."

Xiangli nodded, yes, she must pull herself together and make it to the capital to settle down with the uncle and aunt of the Yang family before making other plans.

After Dilong turned over, landslides occurred, and the official road was tightly blocked by huge rocks. Unless he flew over with wings, he could only be trapped in Yucheng.

Taking advantage of these few days, Li Haitang began to pay attention to those homeless children. She and the officials expressed that she was willing to pay for the adoption of all the children, and teach them various skills in the future so that they can earn a living.

"That's not okay, how do you prove that you are not a human trafficker?"

The official scrutinized Li Haitang suspiciously. Could it be that this lady is crazy?

They are not from Yucheng, and they don't have houses and land deeds in Yucheng, so how will these babies be settled after that?

Li Haitang touched his cheek, facing the official's questioning, he couldn't answer a word. Indeed, if she was taken away, with so many oil bottles along the way, she would definitely not be able to increase her speed. If she stayed in Yucheng, she would have no fixed place and no subordinates, so she had nowhere to settle.
