Chapter 24
"Da da da..." The horseshoe collided with the road, making a crisp and sweet sound like the ringing of wind chimes.Inside the carriage, Yun Qingxiusu embroidered a map of Licheng County on white silk with a needle in hand.

Jing Hong Jingying was amazed again and again, watching the places they had never been to be embroidered with natural agility and reality.

Looking at the well-known map in his hand, Yun Qingxiu's smile was a bit bitter.

Because Rong Jingxi loves the country, she knows exactly what is on the land of the Tiansheng Dynasty.Rong Jingxi had the heart to let down this unique emotion.

The carriage bumped and bumped for four days before entering the gate of Licheng County.

"Ah, what's the smell!" Jinghong frowned and shouted.Jing Ying opened the curtain and closed it immediately, then took a breath and said: "Miss, corpses are everywhere."

In fact, she had already guessed that during the days when she was imprisoned in the sky prison in her previous life, did she smell bloody smell mixed with rancid smell? "Don't stop, keep going," she ordered.

About half an hour later, the carriage was stopped.Jing Hong Jingying helped Yun Qingxiu get out of the car, Yun Qingxiu looked around, and only then did he truly see the horrible scene.

The air is filled with the despair of death, the ground is stained with dried blood, and there are many people who are struggling on the verge of death and terrified.

All of a sudden, she felt a force firmly grasping the hem of her skirt, if Jing Hong Jingying hadn't noticed it in time, she would have fallen to the ground. "Bold!" Jinghong shouted angrily, drew his sword and killed the bloody man.

Yun Qingxiu frowned slightly but did not say a word after all.Turning her head, she said to the guard, "I'm here to find the county magistrate of Licheng."

The two looked at Yun Qingxiu, secretly amazed in their hearts, but they didn't regard her as a rich lady. After all, who would come to such a place? Is this not the romantic debt owed by the county magistrate in the place of fireworks?
So he said contemptuously: "Girl, let's go back, the county magistrate is busy dealing with the dead in Licheng, so I don't have time to see you!"

Jinghong was originally dissatisfied with the people here, so he tore off the token from Yun Qingxiu's body and said, "Keep your eyes wide open for me!"

When the two saw it, they were frightened.Token of the Marquis of Loyalty!Then she...is the young lady of the Zhongyihou Mansion!The two stared wide-eyed, their faces full of lovelessness.

"Can I go in now?" Yun Qingxiu had a half-smile, his gaze switching between the two of them repeatedly.

"Of course it is possible." The two laughed awkwardly.

Yun Qingxiu didn't say much, and walked straight into the gate.The swaying cyan sleeves linger with the fragrance of a girl, as if a fairy descended to earth.

With the token of the Hou Mansion, the journey is unimpeded.

Walking to the door of a house, the corners of Yun Qingxiu's mouth curled into a faint smile.Pushing open the door quietly, she walked lightly to the boy in blue brocade who was sitting with his back to her.

While he was taking a nap with his eyes closed, her jade arms directly wrapped around his neck...

Feeling a burst of fragrance coming to the nostrils, mixed with a warm temperature, the boy was startled.

Realizing something, the boy suddenly stood up and said in embarrassment: "Presumptuous! Bold! Get lost—" But he met the girl's clear and flawless eyes.

The boy's eyes widened and his mouth opened wider.The girl folded her arms and raised her eyebrows: "Gu Changqing, Gu County Magistrate? What did you just say?"

The boy shrank his neck and smiled flatteringly: "Qingqing, I didn't expect it to be you..."

Yun Qingxiu still smiled and said nothing.The boy said again: "Qingqing, I was wrong, I was wrong!" He knew very well that as long as she showed this expression, she must be angry.

Yun Qingxiu turned around and left. The young man was anxious and grabbed her hand, but was ruthlessly thrown away.He only gave him a cold look and added a cold sentence: "Magistrate Gu, respect yourself."

"Qingqing, my little ancestor, don't leave! If you leave again, I will kneel down for you!" Thinking of him, Yun Jinnian, the second son of the loyal and loyal Hou's family, is not afraid of anything, but is afraid that his precious sister will be angry.

Only then did Yun Qingxiu stop in her tracks.Yun Jinnian said aggrievedly: "You have no conscience, who have I left the Hou's mansion for all these years, and I am still so ungrateful..."

Seeing that Yun Qingxiu was about to leave again, Yun Jinnian almost cried: "My fault! Running away from home is my own decision, it's none of your business! Qingqing..." That tone of voice should be as wronged as it is.

Yun Qingxiu was satisfied, so she went back and sat down. "Dad told me a few days ago, 'What does the county magistrate of Licheng County eat?'. I didn't expect this county magistrate to become you, second brother."

"Qingqing, I'm not a serious county magistrate, don't make fun of me, I'm dying of anxiety now." Yun Jinnian was a little frustrated.

Yun Qingxiu took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and said: "Don't worry, I'm here to help you. This is not an ordinary epidemic, but a trap for you. Do you think Thinking about it, the county magistrate Gu Changqing will naturally be investigated for any accidents in Licheng County, but you, as the son of the Hou family, are helping him manage Licheng County these days, so you will inevitably get angry."

"Why did you get angry?" Yun Jinnian didn't quite understand.

Yun Qingxiu asked: "Tell me, why do you manage Licheng County?"

"Uncle Runan was seriously ill a few days ago, and Changqing went back to visit him. As a child of his, I was taken in by him for five years and provided food and drink for him. How could I not help him at critical times?" Yun Jinnian didn't care. Think it's something.

"Oh," Yun Qingxiu sneered, "but now, there is a problem in Licheng County under your control! Why did the son of the Hou Mansion go to Licheng County, and why did the accident happen because of your management? How to say, what would the emperor think?!"

Yun Jinnian was not calm anymore: "You mean someone wants to suppress the Hou's and Bo's houses?"

Yun Qingxiu pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not hopeless."

"Why? Then what should we do?" Yun Jinnian became more and more anxious.

"The reason is not the point. As long as the people in this city recover, I have my own way to protect you. You first tell me what the people in the city eat and drink on weekdays, including you." She suspected that the so-called epidemic was caused by poisoning.

After thinking for a while, Yun Jinnian said, "On weekdays, like everyone else, I drink water from the Huaiyong River, and eat... rough tea and light food?... By the way, people here like to eat a kind of fruit called wild gooseberry , I thought it tasted weird so I didn’t eat it.”

Yun Qingxiu showed a clear expression, it seems that there is something wrong with this wild gooseberry. "Jinghong, go and pick some wild gooseberries, Jingying, go and investigate what I told you."

Yun Jinnian approached and asked: "Qingqing, what did you tell her?"

"Find out a deceased person from Licheng County." She didn't say it was the second aunt Wen Qing, after all, she didn't want the second brother to be involved in this matter.In the previous life, she alone made the sins, and in this life, let her alone pay for it.

"Leave this to me! I have all the powers of the county magistrate!" Yun Jinnian said, patting his chest, his eyes sparkling.

Yun Qingxiu raised her eyebrows: "Second brother, you can manage Licheng County like this, do you think I can trust you? I seriously doubt your ability! By the way, have my living arrangements been arranged? I'm tired..."

Yun Jinnian "!!!" But what can he say about such an indisputable fact?
