Chapter 219

"Thank you, Miss Gu."

Wuying thanked Concubine Gu Huai, and then picked out the golden sore medicine that she often used from the table, Wuying gritted her teeth and endured the pain, and applied the golden sore medicine on the wound.

Although the wound on Wuying's body stopped bleeding, it still looked so hideous.

Concubine Gu Huai immediately felt a little guilty, she said softly: "If it wasn't because I asked you to find the food that Shang Ziru hid, you wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries, it's all because of my lack of consideration."

"Miss Gu is too serious."

Wuying said: "Miss Gu is also thinking of the master, and the subordinates should solve the master's problems."

Hearing this, Concubine Gu Huai didn't say anything more.

After applying the medicine, Su Changqing left the lobby with Wuying.

Concubine Gu Huai looked at their leaving figures and saw that they were walking towards the study, thinking that they must be Wu Ying and there was something important to report to Chang Qing, so Concubine Gu Huai did not follow up to disturb her.

This time, Wu Ying came back from injury, she must have frightened the snake, Concubine Gu Huai was worried, and she didn't know how Shang Ziru's search was going.

I don't know if they will be found in the end.

Thinking of this, Concubine Gu Huai finally understood that she seemed to have caused trouble for Chang Qing.

Concubine Gu Huai stood quietly where she was, and did not leave for a long time, and she did not know what she was thinking about.

At this time, in the study.

Although it is said that there is no shadow to scare the snake, but it is not a bad thing when you think about it carefully. The main reason is that the new group of people is too coincidental.

Even if the blame is not passed on to them, it seems that they are sorry for their coming so timely.

"Wu Ying, can you see clearly where Shang Ziru's group of people's martial arts moves come from?"

Logically speaking, Shang Ziru is just a parent official in Ping'an County, and he doesn't have much power in his hands, so why are there so many powerful guards around him?

Even Wuying's most outstanding Qinggong couldn't escape their encirclement.

Su Changqing was extremely puzzled by this, could it be that Shang Ziru had other identities that he didn't know about?
"Return to the master's words."

Wuying thought for a while, and suddenly said with a hesitant expression: "My subordinates have observed that their moves don't seem to belong to Su Kingdom, they are more like dead soldiers outside the Great Wall, but they are not from outside the Great Wall."

"Are they dead soldiers?"

"The subordinates can see clearly that they are indeed a group of specially trained dead soldiers."

Su Changqing's face became serious instantly, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind: Shang Ziru actually has the guts to raise dead soldiers in private?

What did Shang Ziru want to do?
The famine in Ping'an County also seems to have happened inexplicably.

From Su Changqing's point of view, everything that happened in Ping'an County seemed to be covered in a hazy black mist, making it impossible to see the reason behind it.

Su Changqing pondered for a moment, but in the end he didn't ask any more about Shang Ziru. He patted Wuying's uninjured shoulder, and said, "Forget it, you are injured, you should take good care of your injury first, and the rest will be up to me." Just do it yourself."

"But master."

But Wuying disagreed, he frowned: "I implore the master not to act rashly, it is really Shang Ziru who is acting strangely."

"There is no need to say any more."

Once Su Changqing made the decision, he would naturally not change it easily, he said: "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

Hearing this, Wuying stopped persuading him: "This subordinate understands, so please master be careful."

"Ah."

Su Changqing nodded: "You go back and recuperate first."

"it is good."

After speaking, Wuying turned and left.

Not long after Wuying left, Concubine Gu Huai came to find her. Seeing Su Changqing, Concubine Gu Huai still had a face full of guilt, she bit her lips and said, "Changqing, I."

"Shh."

Before Concubine Gu Huai finished her words, Su Changqing's slender fingers touched her lips, he stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, concubine, don't blame yourself anymore, your first The idea was also for me, but I just didn’t expect that Shang Ziru’s defenses would be so heavy, and he would send dead soldiers to guard the food.”

"I suspect that Shang Ziru has other plans at all, or that the famine in Ping'an County was caused by Shang Ziru secretly."

Concubine Gu Huai exclaimed, she couldn't believe it and said: "Changqing, you, are you telling the truth? Shang Ziru really has such a great ability?"

Su Changqing suddenly snorted coldly: "I don't know how capable he is. He was able to support so many dead men. Thinking about it, there are other people behind Shang Ziru helping him. If the famine in Ping'an County If he did it on purpose, I'm afraid we won't be able to really cooperate with him."

"It's no wonder that after the famine broke out in Ping'an County in the previous life, the tyrant sent troops to arrest Shang Ziru, and even set up a net, but Shang Ziru still found a chance to escape."

Concubine Gu Huai suddenly said with a blank expression: "Chang Qing, what should we do now? Should we discuss cooperation with Shang Ziru? Also, should we save the people in Ping'an County?"

Their purpose from the beginning was to win over capable officials to oppose the tyrant, and even win over the hearts of the people.

But now, along the way, they have done so many things and escaped for so long, but they have not done a single thing well.

First, the flood in Haicheng was solved by the tyrant first, and won the hearts of the people in Haicheng. But this time, they came to Ping'an County. Even if they wanted to save the people, they had no food in their hands. They wanted to get food from Shang Ziru. While robbing food, Wu Ying who followed them all the way was killed and seriously injured.

They seem to be unable to fight against that high-ranking tyrant at all.

Concubine Gu Huai was instantly so confused that she didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong.

Did she have no chance to take revenge for the bloody feud in the previous life?

"Your Excellency, I."

"Don't be afraid."

Su Changqing saw the struggle on Concubine Gu Huai's face, he hugged her tightly, comforted her and said, "Concubine, I will always be by your side, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

"Now we have no food in our hands, and the people in Ping'an County are hard to save."

Su Changqing answered her question: "However, after I confirm one thing, I will have a way to find food."

Concubine Gu Huai stared straight at him: "What's the matter?"

"No hurry, I'll tell you after I confirm."

"it is good."
-
Just as Su Changqing thought, when Shang Ziru returned to the mansion just after dealing with other things, he heard the dead man sent to guard the grain to report that the place where he hid the grain had been found.

But that person's lightness kung fu is very powerful, even if their people chased after him, they still couldn't find the person's whereabouts in the end.

They got lost!
"It's all a bunch of trash!"

Shang Ziru said angrily: "The other party is alone, and you are a group of people, so that the other party can escape!?"

"Even lost people??"

Hearing the words, the dead man quickly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "This subordinate is guilty, please appease your anger."

"Quiet your anger?"

Shang Ziru kicked the dead man violently, and he almost trembled with anger: "Now, immediately arrange for someone to change the food to another place."

The food he had worked so hard to hide for so long was discovered so easily!

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

The dead man endured it forcefully, and he didn't dare to resist at all.

Shang Ziru was so angry that he paced back and forth: "It is arranged to be tonight, and the speed of moving the food must be fast. If there is another mistake, you don't have to come back alive!"

"Yes!"

After the words fell, the dead man got up and left quickly.

At this moment, Shang Ziru's housekeeper just came back, he took a step forward and whispered in Shang Ziru's ear, "My lord, those newcomers to Ping'an County don't seem to be in the slightest wrong."

"Is there really no problem?"

But Shang Ziru said with a heavy face, but he still felt something was wrong.

His grain had just been discovered, and this group of people appeared in Ping'an County. If there was really no connection between them, Shang Ziru really didn't want to believe it.

What's more, the higher-ups pressed him hard, and he was going to ship out all the grain in Ping'an County soon. At this critical moment, Shang Ziru didn't want any accident to happen because of his laxity, and let down the Lord's high expectations for him.

The butler nodded.

Shang Ziru said again: "Housekeeper, do you know what the dead man reported to me just now?"

The housekeeper looked at Shang Ziru in surprise, "Please speak frankly, my lord."

Shang Ziru said coldly: "The food has been discovered."

Hearing this, the housekeeper's face also darkened. He has been following the adults, so he naturally knows what the adults are doing.

Moreover, Your Excellency attaches great importance to this batch of grain. If the timing is not right now, Your Excellency will not hide the grain for so long.

However, when it comes to food, the housekeeper is still a little worried.

The housekeeper said, "Then, what happened to the batch of food now?"

"Fortunately, he was stopped by the dead man, but in the end, he was escaped by that man."

Shang Ziru said sullenly, "However, I have already sent people to transfer the grain."

As soon as this was mentioned, Shang Ziru immediately became angry. After raising a dead man for so long, he couldn't even catch a single person!
The butler instantly realized, "Then, is your lord suspicious of the group of people who appeared today?"

Shang Ziru nodded: "Aren't they the most suspicious?"

The butler didn't answer for a while.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "The subordinate sent someone to watch them, and if there is any change, they will be taken down immediately."

Shangzi agreed.

that night.

Xiao Li and his party, who had just settled down in Ping'an County, immediately discovered that there were many "people" nearby.

Nor can it be called the common people.

Although they were wearing sackcloth clothes, compared to those people in Ping'an County who were really hungry and thin, they seemed to have just changed their clothes.

In addition, their eyes looked at the courtyard where Xiao Li and his party lived from time to time. Although the frequency was not frequent, it still caught Xiao Li's attention.

He closed the gate of the yard, turned around, and said to the imperial envoy, "We are being watched."

Xiao Li said expressionlessly: "Obviously we were interrogated when we came in, and we didn't find any problems, but now, there are eyeliners all around the yard."

I don't know what happened in the middle.

The Imperial Envoy immediately became worried, and he asked, "Could it be Shang Ziru who discovered our identities?"

"Not necessarily."

Xiao Lidao pondered for a moment, and he said slowly: "Perhaps, something must have happened before we came in, and we newcomers will naturally be targeted."

"However, we don't need to get confused in advance. Since they insist on staring, let them stare first."

However, Xiao Li still decided to stay past the early hours of the morning, so he sneaked into the Shang Mansion to inquire about the news.

Hearing what Xiao Li said, the Imperial Envoy had no objection.

With Xiao Li here, he didn't need to worry about these things. After being confirmed by the imperial envoy, he returned to his room and prepared to fall asleep.

And Xiao Li took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the tree quietly.

As for the accompanying guards, they stayed in different corners, just in case.

Xiao Li stood tall, so he could see his surroundings more clearly.

He saw all the eyeliners hidden nearby, and Xiao Li estimated in his heart the location where he could break through silently, and then waited for the early morning.

soon.

Until the early morning, the tree swayed slightly, and a figure instantly disappeared into the night.

But no eyeliner was noticed.

The night gradually became thicker, and the surroundings were gloomy, but another place not far from Shang's mansion was brightly lit with candles.

The sound of footsteps resounded in the dark night, and it returned to silence in an instant.

"All these grains have to be moved!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, the ones behind quickly catch up!"

"."

The dead soldiers arranged by Shang Ziru have already moved the grain to another more secluded place. They are dressed in black and carrying bags of rice. Appear.

There are thousands of catties of grain, all piled up in a warehouse.

When the outside bag was scratched lightly, white rice splashed down from inside and fell to the ground, but no one cared about it, still carrying the white rice back and forth.

Xiao Li, who was hiding in the shadows, saw all this clearly.

It turned out that before the farewell, what your majesty guessed was right. Shang Ziru in Ping'an County was not simple at all, and even the famine in Ping'an County was not what it appeared on the surface.

Xiao Li waited for them to pack all the food, and then quietly followed behind them without being noticed by anyone.

He followed those people all the way to the final destination of the food.

Xiao Li was still hiding in a dark place not too far away. He held his breath and watched them move all the food in. He didn't know how long it had passed. He could even feel that half of his body was going to be stiff. Move all the food.

however--

After moving the food, they did not leave, but stayed here.

Xiao Li originally wanted to sneak in while they were away, but now it seems that it is impossible.

However, it is not a waste of time to go out and accidentally find the place where Shang Ziru hides food.

Immediately, Xiao Li turned and left.

On the way, he also sent a letter to Shengjing with a carrier pigeon.
