Chapter 100 Rest Here
The air was condensed, and a needle could be heard, everyone was waiting for Liang Ping to speak.

He sighed, his voice mournful: "Nanyang County."

It is not hard to guess why his voice is mournful.All the villagers who planted hook kisses in Liugou Village died. Then, the villagers in Nanyang County will only have bad luck.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhan glanced at Fu Xuan and asked, "How many villages?"

Liang Ping closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "Eighteen."

Fuxuan stood up from the stool with a "chuckle", her face was completely drained of blood, and her voice trembled: "People from eighteen villages... are all gone?"

Liang Ping nodded.

This time, all the people present were stunned.

Even the people from Dali Temple, who were used to seeing big cases, were all startled, showing expressions of extreme disbelief.

Disregarding human life is nothing more than that.

Xie Zhan let out a breath and continued to ask, "How many villages are there in Geyang County?"

Liang Ping said honestly: "We will start planting this year, including Liugou Village, four villages."

Xie Zhan asked again: "Who will give it to after planting hookweed?"

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.Isn't it obvious where the gold and silver of the Liang family's trilogy came from.

Sure enough, the next moment, Liang Ping affirmed his thoughts: "The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

It's not hard to guess what's next.

The entire country of Dazhou is located in the north, and the winter is too long, half a year is covered with cold wind and snow, so it is difficult for crops to grow and develop, and food and medicinal materials are very scarce.On the contrary, it is extremely rich in minerals, which can be used to smelt many ironware, copper coins, and weapons.

The so-called "A's arsenic, B's dross", what is poisonous in Daliang may be a good product in Dazhou.

For example, the hook kiss is extremely harmful to the human body, but it has a unique feature. If it is used in livestock food, it will stimulate their appetite and accelerate their growth.In addition, after being mixed with certain medicinal materials, it can be made into fertilizer to accelerate the development of crops.Isn't this what Da Zhou lacked?

The Liang family risked the court's ban to conduct private business with Da Zhou, providing Da Zhou with various medicinal materials including hook kisses, while Da Zhou provided money, weapons, and items to the Liang family.

In short, the two sides barter and get what they need.

However, the prosperity of the Liang family and the forces behind it is trampling on the bones of the villagers in 22 villages, how cruel and inhumane!

Liang Ping and Li Er were taken away overnight by people from Dali Temple, and secretly took them to Jiankang City.

After they left for half an hour, Fu Xuan still couldn't believe what she had just heard for a long time.

Seeing that she was out of her mind, Xie Zhan sat beside her and said with relief, "At least, we have cut off the tragedies of more villagers, and have found out the real cause of Duke Nanjun's death."

As soon as Fu Yiwen was mentioned, Fu Xuan couldn't restrain her grief.

She said with red eyes: "But who is behind it? Don't you still have no idea? Liang Ping is only in charge of the medicinal materials, and has no idea who is hooking up with Jiang Qiao and who is going to give the medicine. You said you can't touch Jiang Joe, you have to wait and see what happens. Isn't it a long way from the truth?"

Xie Zhan said earnestly: "Everything should be done slowly, don't be too hasty. Remember, haste makes waste."

After he finished speaking, Fu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then cried out covering her face with a "woo".

Xie Zhan didn't expect that the more he persuaded her, the more sad she would be, and she couldn't help but wondered, "What's wrong?"

Fuxuan cried for a while, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said softly, "What you said just now, my uncle used to say. 'Picture slowly, don't rush', 'haste makes waste', they are all exactly the same .”

Xie Zhan hooked his lips, "Really."

Fu Xuan nodded, and said again: "Nanyang County and Geyang County, so many people died in these two counties, it's no wonder that the population increase on the budget doesn't match up. My father is just responsible for finding out This is why the governor of Yuzhou was punished because of his miscalculation. Moreover, the death of the governor was due to poisoning, not being forced to commit suicide, and has nothing to do with my father. So, does this mean that my father can be released?"

Seeing that her eyes were full of anticipation, Xie Zhan couldn't bear to say that before the real murderer was caught, he couldn't jump to conclusions, and the source of the shops under Fu Yiyan's name still needs to be investigated, so he just said : "After returning to Jiankang City, the verdict can only be decided after a trial."

"Then when shall we go back?" Fu Xuan asked eagerly.

Xie Zhan chuckled, "Do you want to go back?"

Fu Xuan said: "I want my father to be released from prison as soon as possible, but I also hope to stay in Yuzhou and find out the real cause of uncle's death. We still have to lurk in Jiangfu, right?"

Xie Zhan nodded.

Fu Xuan said urgently: "Then let's go back."

When she was about to get up, the old woman from the farm came in with food and said, "My lord, madam, our family only has these simple meals, so don't dislike them."

As she was talking, she put the food on the table, wiped her hands on the lamb apron in front of her, stepped forward and took Fu Xuan's arm, and warmly invited her to sit down and eat.

Before Fu Xuan could understand the situation, she was dragged to the dining table by the old woman, and Xie Zhan took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the other side of the square table.

"Eat, I haven't had dinner yet. Rest early after eating." Xie Zhan spoke and handed Fu Xuan a pair of bamboo chopsticks.

After Fuxuan took it, she tentatively asked: "What do you mean, we will rest here tonight?"

Xie Zhan nodded.

Fu Xuan looked around for a week, and then looked at Xie Zhan with unfriendly eyes.

This farm hut is no different than Jiang's guest room. There are inside and outside rooms, as well as beds and couches.She sleeps on the bed, and he sleeps on the couch.

All the furniture here is a bed that cannot be called wide, and a table and four chairs.

If the two rest here, where will they rest?

As if he heard the thoughts in her mind, Xie Zhan ate his meal slowly, and said softly without raising his eyes: "I sleep on the floor."

Fu Xuan looked at the ground again, it was considered uneven.

However, if he wants to sleep, he can lay an extra layer of mattress.

Fu Xuan felt less worried, so she picked up the vegetables and started eating.

After eating a few mouthfuls, the old woman came in again, holding a thin quilt in her hand, walked towards the bed, and said, "Our house is simple, and there are not many quilts. Since the son and wife are husband and wife, we will cover this quilt." A wider quilt. I'll take the narrower one. It's cold at night, so you have to cover it up, so you don't catch a cold."

Fu Xuan immediately retorted as if her head was being poured by a bucket of cold water: "We don't..."

Fu Xuan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Zhan coughing.

Xie Zhan replied politely to the old woman: "Thank you, grandma. We would be very grateful if you could borrow us a night. If the journey was not too far away, we would not bother you so much."

"Small things, small things." The old woman replied.

After the old woman left, Xie Zhan said solemnly: "When I went out today, I told Jiang Qiao that I was traveling for two days, and it took a lot of energy to get rid of the follower. Now go back suddenly, and when he finds that Liang Ping is also I didn’t see you today, you said, he has been on guard against us for a long time, will he suspect that I did it?”

Fu Xuan pondered for a moment, but instead of responding to his words, she asked, "Why didn't you tell me that we are going on a trip for two days?"
