The whole family travels with me

Chapter 4 Major General Poisoned

Meng Sangpo's eyes turned red instantly, and she scolded angrily: "You are really loose-handed and big-hearted, and you have no success! I finally managed to earn a few copper coins and you ruined it like this. You are going to piss me off!"

Old lady, I don’t have a few days to live. If you have this little money, you might as well save it so that you can be with me in the future. Also, work more diligently in the Major General’s Mansion. I heard that the Major General will stay in Pucheng for a few years. If This guy is really nice. You can't lose such a good job, do you understand? "

Huang Ye nodded casually, took off his half-wet coat, changed into dry clothes, took out the wet clothes and some rain-soaked things from the backpack and put them by the fire pit to bake, then turned to the stove to eat. .

After finishing her work, it was so dark outside that she couldn't see her fingers. She quickly closed the door and lay down next to the brazier. Seeing Meng Sangpo weaving again, she persuaded her again: "What I said is true. You don't have to work so hard in the future. I I will provide for you in your old age.”

Meng Sangpo didn't even raise her head, and kept busy while laughing and said: "Okay! I will support you when you grow up."

"I can raise you now!" Huang Ye sat up suddenly and looked directly at Meng Sangpo, "My adoptive parents died early. If you hadn't brought me back, grass would have grown on my grave. I vowed at that time to repay you for your kindness in raising me, so Mengsangpo, you have to take good care of yourself and wait for blessings.

It's getting late, stop being busy, lie down and go to sleep. I don't have time to repair the roof, and you can't get up. I'll go tell Uncle Liu early tomorrow morning and ask him to come over and help. I'll pay two A copper plate. "

Meng Sangpo was quite touched at first, but when she heard the last sentence, her face suddenly darkened, "You still didn't listen to what I just said! Isn't it just to repair a roof and give two copper plates in return? Do you think the copper plates fell from the sky? ? It really pissed me off."

Meng Sangpo couldn't stop complaining when she started. Huang Ye smiled helplessly and fell asleep soon without arguing with her.

Early the next morning, she got up before dawn. It was still raining outside and the road might be difficult to walk. Meng Sangpo had prepared the meal early and waited for her to get up to eat.

"It's raining today. Be careful on the road. You'd rather be late than fall. After all, you're wearing someone else's clothes. It's hard to explain if they get dirty." Meng Sangpo looked at Huang Ye's brand-new clothes and smiled. pleats.

Huang Ye lowered his head and glanced at himself, not caring much, "It's just what the servants wear. If it gets dirty, they have to give it to me. There's nothing to explain."

Meng Sangpo was so angry that she poked her forehead again, "Smelly girl! I told you to be careful, just be careful, do you hear me?"

Huang Ye nodded quickly, put on his bamboo hat, took his backpack and rushed out of the house.

Meng Sangpo chased her to the door, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Slow down, slow down."

Huang Ye ran to the entrance of the village before she stopped and gasped twice. She looked back at the village and raised a slight smile on her lips, finally getting rid of Meng Sangpo's scary nagging.

At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance.

The smile on Huang Ye's face suddenly disappeared. As soon as she reached the grass on the side, a group of more than a dozen cavalrymen flew past her from a distance.

She looked at the direction in which the soldiers were heading and quickly accelerated into the city.

There was an old man guarding the back door of the Major General's Mansion. He looked at Huang Ye's dress and brand before letting her in.

It was estimated that it was only half past midnight, and the kitchen was already busy. As soon as she stepped in the door, she was called by the steward to light the fire. It was okay to burn one stove, but the problem was that she was responsible for six stoves by herself. She never had time to spare, and she almost got ghosted.On this day, she had been groping for how to manage the six stoves reasonably, and she didn't care to see what other people were doing.

It took her three days to get used to the heavy work in the kitchen. Before she could relax, Manager Zhang and Yan Shi, who had arranged for them to work, suddenly rushed into the courtyard with a group of people.

"No one is allowed to move, gather in the courtyard now!"

Yan Shi gave an order, and the bustling kitchen suddenly became silent. Within a quarter of an hour, everyone put down their work and stood in the yard in silence.

Yan Shi looked at everyone coldly, and a soldier dragged a woman in.

Huang Ye took a closer look and saw that it was Ah Li. At this time, Ah Li was beaten all over with bruises and blood. She had too much air coming out but not enough air coming in. She was afraid that she would not survive.

Everyone was frightened by Ah Li's appearance and took a step back, their faces as white as ghosts.

Yan Shi looked at everyone with a burning gaze, "Last night, the Major General was poisoned within two quarters of an hour after having dinner. Who did it? I can save your lives if you tell me honestly. If you don't, everyone will be tortured!"

Several people were so frightened that their legs went weak and they fell to the ground, while a few even fainted from fear.

After a few people fell down and a group of people knelt down, Huang Ye finally saw Xiao Tao. He saw that girl standing motionless, unusually abrupt in the crowd, and he didn't know if she was frightened.

Sure enough, Yan Shi and Manager Zhang noticed Xiao Tao first.

"Let's start with her. If you interrogate her carefully, I won't believe you can't find out!" Yan Shi gritted his teeth and looked really angry.

Xiaotao didn't react until she was caught. She cried in fear and struggled hard, "Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me. I don't know anything. I'm unjust. I went home before dark yesterday. I'm really unjust." "

Xiao Tao's heartbreaking cry seemed to hit Huang Ye's heart, trembling and trembling. Looking at Ah Li who had passed out on the ground, Huang Ye felt an inexplicable resentment in his heart and suddenly raised his head to look directly at Yan Shi. "Sir, can I dare to ask the young general what kind of poison he was poisoned and why? Although the lives of slaves and others are not worthy of your attention, I don't want to die in an unknown way. I heard that The young general’s benevolence and righteousness will never disregard human life!”

"Bold! When has it been your turn to speak as a lowly slave? Come here, drag this little girl out and beat her to death with sticks!" Steward Zhang bluffed, angrily ordering the boy next to him to do it.

"Wait a minute." Yan Shi glanced at Manager Zhang, and his sharp eyes fell on Huang Ye. He was a little surprised to see her stubborn face, and said in a deep voice: "Although this girl is bold, there is one thing that makes her right. Young Master The general’s reputation must not be tarnished.”

"Yes." Manager Zhang looked innocent. He didn't dare to do anything to Yan Shi, so he gave Huang Ye a vicious look.

Huang Ye didn't even give him a look, which made Manager Zhang even more angry.

Yan Shi said: "Last night, after midnight, the major general ate the food sent by the kitchen. Two quarters of an hour later, he developed symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. After Mr. Wen showed it to the major general, he confirmed that the major general was poisoned. The problem lies in the food."
