"Alan, what can be found on the body of the deceased?"
I didn't feel it just now, but after I was free, I just felt that my mouth was extremely dry. Ji Linglan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, saying: "The cause of death of that person was that a rib was inserted into his lung, resulting in massive internal hemorrhage."
"Hemorrhage?" Fu Nanling blinked, looking thirsty for knowledge.
"Bleeding is just..." Ji Linglan just wanted to explain, then remembered the current era, and said, "Ah Ling just needs to know that he was drowned by his own blood."
Fu Nanling was stunned, and said: "Is there such a way to die? It's true, for a vicious person like him, this way of death can be regarded as self-inflicted."
"A Ling said so, could it be that his real identity has been found out?" Ji Linglan keenly grasped the key points in Fu Nanling's words.
Fu Nanling was not at all surprised by Ji Linglan's sensitivity, and said with a smile: "Well, his original name is Wang Lei, he is Gao Jin's private guard, and he does not serve in the imperial court."
"Not serving in the imperial court, but daring to pretend to be imperial court officials, it seems that they really cover the sky with one hand." Ji Linglan frowned immediately, and said: "Except for the blunt force wound on the chest, Wang Lei's wrist, abdomen, etc. As well as the waist, there are also sharp weapon injuries. There are also defensive bruises and contusions on the outside of the forearm. His injuries should be caused by fighting with others. If he is Gao Jin's private guard and performs such a secret mission, Then he must be Gao Jin's confidant. If Gao Jin wanted him to die, it wouldn't be like this. Could it be that it was caused by him during the mission? Ah Ling, is the person who hurt him one of yours, or is it Big Brother Lu? gone?"
After listening to Ji Linglan's analysis, Xiao Lizi couldn't help but look up in surprise, and looked at Ji Linglan thoughtfully, with a little scrutiny.
"Alan, you are really amazing! You can infer so much just by looking at the corpse. That's right, they met yesterday, but the one who met him was not Lu Jiu, but Ling Liu." Fu Nanling Briefly explained his plan.
Ji Linglan was dazed for a while, looking at Fu Nanling's slightly narrowed eyes, he was a little dazed, and then said with a wry smile: "Ah Ling is the one who is really powerful."
No matter how innocent Fu Nanling behaved, he was a person from the royal family. To be able to grow up safely in such an environment of intrigue, even if he is favored by the emperor, he must have a very human mind.Ji Linglan had just traveled through time, her way of thinking hadn't changed at all, and she judged things subconsciously based on modern society, so she was confused by Fu Nanling's pure appearance.Looking at Fu Nanling now, Ji Linglan even began to question her IQ.
Keenly aware of the alienation in Ji Linglan's tone, Fu Nanling felt nervous, and explained: "Alan, I also came up with this plan based on your plan, are you angry?"
Ji Linglan was in a complicated mood, she shook her head and said, "No."
"Alan..."
At this moment, several servants came over with food boxes.
Ji Linglan, who didn't know how to deal with it, interrupted Fu Nanling's words, and said, "Let's have dinner first, and we'll talk later if we have something to say."
Fu Nanling frowned slightly, his painted peach eyes were watery, like tears, and he looked at Ji Linglan aggrievedly.Ji Linglan kept his head down throughout the meal and did not look into Fu Nanling's eyes. Now he deeply understands his weakness of being soft-hearted, especially when facing Fu Nanling.
After the meal, neither of them said a word, Ji Linglan stood up and said, "A Ling, I'm a little tired, I'm going back to my room first."
Ji Linglan's mind is a little messed up, he needs to adjust his concept and try to integrate into the world he is in now.Moreover, all previous cognitions have been overturned, and now he needs to re-examine Fu Nanling and his purpose of approaching him.
"Alan..."
Fu Nanling called his name aggrieved and uneasy, but he didn't step forward to stop him. Hearing that, Ji Linglan's heart softened, but he didn't look back cruelly. It's better to wait for his head to clear up before dealing with the relationship between the two.
Looking at Ji Linglan's leaving back, Fu Nanling smiled wryly.
Seeing this, Xiao Lizi frowned, hesitated, and said: "Master, it seems that Mr. Ji is not simple this time, I think it's better to investigate carefully."
"Who is he, no one knows better than me. From now on, he will be your master. His words are orders. You just need to obey. Even if he wants to kill me, you just need to hand over the knife. Do you understand?"
"master……"
"Huh?" Fu Nanling's tone was light, but there was an air of calm and prestige.
"Yes, I obey." Xiao Lizi bowed down, his eyes full of doubts.
Fu Nanling sighed, and said softly, "I owe him this."
Ji Linglan went back to the room and locked the door, took off her shoes and went to bed.In fact, he really wanted to talk to someone, but it was not the time agreed with Tang Tang, even if he entered the dissecting room, there would be no one to talk to.An inexplicable irritability surged up in her heart, Ji Linglan childishly covered her head under the quilt, and didn't show her head until she was sweating.
He laughed at himself, and said, "Ji Linglan, Ji Linglan, you are in your thirties anyway, why are you becoming more childish now? Has your IQ been eaten by dogs? If Tang Tang knows what you are doing You must laugh out loud at such a stupid thing."
Ji Linglan looked at the willow tree outside the window in a trance, the willow branches fluttered with the wind, sending a cool breeze, and his thoughts also drifted away.
Ji Linglan lives in a single-parent family. He has never seen his father since he was a child, and it may be because he is too young and has no memory. Anyway, he has no memory of his father at all in his mind.
Just like other children, he also asked his mother, 'Where is Daddy', 'When will you be back', and similar questions.But my mother never answered directly, and always looked at the willow tree in the yard, with emotions he didn't understand in her eyes.
Later, when he grew up, he stopped asking, because he gradually understood what the emotions in his mother's eyes were.
His mother loves him very much, she often said 'mother will love Lanlan twice as much', he didn't understand it very well before, but when he understood it, his mother passed away.
He has never forgotten the smile in his mother's eyes before she died. It was anticipation and yearning, but fear was the only thing she didn't have.
At that moment, he seemed to have guessed something, and he sent his mother away with a smile, but wept loudly beside her gradually icy body.He was 18 years old that year.
After thinking wildly for a while, Ji Linglan fell asleep in a daze.After an unknown amount of time, he heard movement by the window in a trance. He opened his eyes sleepily, and saw a figure climbing the window in a daze. The clumsy appearance is like a newborn bird, fluttering vigorously.
Ji Linglan was amused in his heart, but pretended not to know, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, he just wanted to see what Fu Nanling wanted to do.
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and they stopped, cautiously. Even without looking, Ji Linglan could still picture Fu Nanling's sneaky appearance in his mind at this time.When she came to the bed, the footsteps disappeared, and there was no movement for a long time, but the burning gaze cast on her body made Ji Linglan truly feel the existence of Fu Nanling.
Ji Linglan felt uncomfortable being stared at, and pretended to turn over. Fu Nanling's breathing was stagnant, and it took a while for him to exhale. Ji Linglan could completely imagine how frightened he was, and she was amused, but also a little worried his heart.
After a while, the bed suddenly moved, and Ji Linglan felt her warm body approaching, and Fu Nanling sat beside the bed.
"Alan..." Fu Nanling whispered to his ears, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "Alan, I don't know why you are angry, but I must have done something wrong."
Ji Linglan's heart softened unconsciously when she heard the words.
There was another silence, and Fu Nanling continued: "I was born in the palace, but I lost my mother when I was born. I still have such a dilapidated body, soaked in medicine soup all day long, and those brothers and sisters are not close to me. Lest I pass this bad luck on to them. They say I killed my mother..."
Fu Nanling's tone was very calm, but it made Ji Linglan feel distressed.
"I have understood since I was very young that my father's love is a double-edged sword. It can bring me glory and wealth, and it can also make me die without a place to die. A Lan, you may not believe it, but I am so willing They are also thinking about the dead body, poisoning, framing, and burying nails, if it is not for my fate, they will be gone before I die of illness."
Ji Linglan sighed in his heart, and had to admit that he was completely relented.
"Alan, I...I admit that I am not as good as you think, and even...even a little bit bad, but I treat you sincerely. You are the only one who asks nothing of me, and you are the only one who can make me happy. I'm defenseless, I... I don't want to lose."
Fu Nanling's words were sincere, Ji Linglan couldn't tell the slightest bit of pretense, she couldn't help but burst into a wry smile, and slandered: Ji Linglan, ah Ji Linglan, you are really promising, what can you do with a child.Don't forget, you were originally a beggar, what kind of plans can his prince and grandson have against you.
"Alan, I was wrong, please forgive me." Fu Nanling reached out and pulled his clothes carefully.
Ji Linglan wasn't embarrassed at all when she pretended to be sleeping and was exposed by others. She turned her head to look at him, and she saw his bright red eyes. Coupled with his harmless and soft image at this time, no one can harden his heart.
Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling and said, "I don't know where the fault is, so why apologize?"
Fu Nanling lowered his head, tugged at his sleeves, and said aggrievedly: "Alan is angry, then it's my fault, and I should apologize for my mistakes."
Ji Linglan couldn't help crying and laughing when she heard the words, and said: "A Ling, you are the prince, how can you look so weak? If others see it, why don't you bully you to death?"
"Alan is not someone else, and Alan will not bully me!" Fu Nanling said this completely without thinking, subconsciously reacting.
Ji Linglan was stunned, and then said helplessly: "I really have nothing to do with you. A Ling, I understand the royal family's intrigue, life and death, you are not as simple as you appear on the surface, you have a layer of protection, this is all reasonable. Before I also I'm not angry, it's just... I just suddenly found that my perception of you is far from the essence, and sometimes it's hard to accept."
"Alan, I..."
Fu Nanling anxiously wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ji Linglan, and said: "A Ling, you don't need to explain, I figured it out, no matter what you look like, as long as you live up to me and the world, I will I recognize you as a friend."
"Alan, you are so kind!"
Seeing tears welling up in Fu Nanling's eyes, Ji Linglan quickly said: "Stop, man, don't shed tears when you bleed."
Fu Nanling raised his head, sniffed, and said, "Yeah, listen to Ah Lan."
……
On June 20, 29 Zhaoming, Ji Linglan and Fu Nanling left the city early to visit villages on the outskirts of the city.The four of them changed into a slightly ordinary carriage, their clothes were changed from silk to cotton clothes, their accessories were also removed, and their hair was tied up with ordinary headbands. Even with such attire, it was difficult to hide Fu Nanling The extravagance that comes with it is something that has been cultivated all the year round and engraved in the bones, and it is difficult to change in a short period of time.
Because it was summer, most farmers would go to work early in the morning and try to avoid the hot noon, so when Ji Linglan and the others came to the outskirts of the city, they were busy working.
Looking at the busy farming scene outside the window, Ji Linglan said, "Aling, this place is already some distance away from Ningcheng, and the surrounding farmlands are well maintained and prosperous. It seems that Gao Jin's superficial skills are really good. It's pretty good."
Since the two of them opened up their conversation yesterday, the relationship has not become stiff, but has become closer than before. To Fu Nanling, this can be regarded as a pleasant surprise.
Fu Nanling laughed, and said, "If it wasn't for the superficial skills, how could you have deceived the court for so long?"
Ji Linglan nodded in agreement and asked, "Then shall we go forward?"
Fu Nanling thought for a while, and said: "Let's go, Hong County is sixty miles east of Ningcheng, and it was once a hard-hit area. Let's go and see how the people are now."
"Succeed, imitation of notes is not easy anyway, let Xiao Lizi get acquainted with it first, and we will start with micro-services and private interviews." This trip, Xiao Lizi did not follow.
Ji Linglan had also watched some period dramas, and was very interested in the private visits of the emperor and imperial envoys in incognito clothes. It was as if he followed Gao Yuan to touch up the layout. Although he was tired, once he found the clues, the sense of accomplishment was indescribable.
"I plan to spend the night in Hong County tonight. It is best to stay at a farmhouse, so that I can understand the real situation in the local area."
Ji Linglan nodded, and said: "A Ling, your people have been to Liu's residence in the past few days, have you contacted Mrs. Liu?"
"There are Gao Jin's people around Liu's mansion, and even in the mansion. Whenever strangers enter the mansion, they will be strictly interrogated. Even if Ling Qi and his martial arts are good, they can't find a chance to enter the mansion for the time being. Now we can only wait and see what happens. , to ensure the safety of the entire Liu family."
"What A-Ling said is that once we enter the mansion and are discovered, not only will our whereabouts be exposed, but it will also implicate the entire Liu family. It is better to be more cautious, and we are not very sure that we will not enter the Liu mansion."
The carriage was not in a hurry, and it didn't arrive at the destination until two hours later. Even so, Ji Linglan still got motion sickness. Last time, after taking the motion sickness medicine, he forgot to leave a message for Tang Tang to add. This time, he could only bite the bullet He resisted stubbornly, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he sat on the shaft of the car and learned how to drive with Liu Xi.With things to do and focusing on driving, Ji Linglan felt better.So that later, Ji Linglan learned to drive, Fu Nanling also sat outside, put on a straw hat and got up with him, while [-] and [-] got into the carriage and asked the prince to drive them. On the tip of the knife, one must have the courage to face death as home.
After entering the field, the two got out of the car, because it was almost noon, the sun was scorching hot, even with the breeze blowing, it was still unbearably hot.Ji Linglan stood there and looked around. Unlike the busy farming scene in the suburbs of Ningcheng, there is a lot of land here, but not much arable land, and only a few people are working.
"A Ling, you're right, it's really different here." Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling, saw that his face was flushed, and asked with concern: "A Ling, do you feel unwell?"
"No problem..." Seeing Ji Linglan frowning, Fu Nanling said honestly, "Just a little dizzy and short of breath."
"This is a sign of heatstroke." Ji Linglan looked around, turned to look at Liu Xi, and said, "Get in the car. Brother Liu, drive the car, and go fast to the woods ahead."
"Okay." Liu Xi responded quickly.
Ji Linglan helped Fu Nanling into the carriage, opened all the curtains of the windows, and then handed the water bottle to Fu Nanling, signaling him to drink water, while she fanned him with a fan.
The carriage drove very fast, but it was not bumpy, and soon came to the outside of the woods.Because of the short distance, Ji Linglan didn't feel too uncomfortable, and helped Fu Nanling get out of the car.He took a small stool from the car and chose a shady place for him to sit on. Ji Linglan continued to fan him with a fan.
"How do you feel, have your symptoms eased?"
"It's better, Alan, don't worry."
Seeing that the flush on his face had faded a lot, Ji Linglan was relieved. There was no medicine for heatstroke in the locker, and he was not familiar with the place here, and he had a heart disease. Could have killed him.
Seeing that Ji Linglan didn't speak for a while, Fu Nanling asked cautiously: "Alan, are you angry?"
"Yes, very angry." Ji Linglan stuffed the fan to Liu Xi beside him, and said, "Brother Liu, fan him for him. I'll go over there to check the situation in the field."
Seeing that Ji Linglan was about to leave, Fu Nanling also stood up, but saw that Ji Linglan stopped, turned around and said threateningly: "If you continue to mess around, I will be even angrier!"
Fu Nanling stood there aggrieved, "Then let Ling Si follow Ah Lan."
"No, it's better for me to go by myself. You stay here obediently, and I'll be back soon."
Ji Linglan didn't say any more, and walked out of the woods.Helplessness flashed across Fu Nanling's eyes, and he said, "Zero Si, you go and protect him, don't let him find out."
"Yes, master."
Ji Linglan wore a straw hat, stood outside the forest, looked around, and walked towards the famous farmer who was closest to him.The man was also wearing a straw hat, holding a pipe and pot in his hand, and was sitting on the ground to rest.
Ji Linglan walked in and looked, and said with a smile: "Uncle, we passed by here, the water bag is empty, I want to ask you for a drink, is it convenient?"
The man was dark-skinned and skinny, with patches on his clothes piled on top of each other. He looked at Ji Linglan blankly, and said slowly, "It's not convenient."
Ji Linglan was stunned, this was a bit different from the expected script, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Then I will buy it with money, will it work?"
"Sure, you can do anything if you have money." The man knocked the pipe and pot on the ground, stood up and said, "I'm out of water in the kettle here, so if you want to drink water, you can come home with me."
"Uncle, our young master is resting in the woods over there, can we go with you? I have to trouble my uncle to get some food, of course we will buy it with money."
They pass by the field, this person must have seen it clearly, so he simply got up to have a look.
"Sure, whatever you have money will do." The man still said the same thing.
"The uncle wait a moment, I will report to my young master."
Seeing him nodding, Ji Linglan turned and walked towards the forest.Seeing him coming, Zero Four jumped off the tree and returned to Fu Nanling's side.
"Master, the son is back."
Fu Nanling looked at Lin Zikou, and he saw Ji Linglan coming in, and said with a smile: "Alan, you are back, you see I have never left."
Ji Linglan walked closer and said, "How do you feel now, but do you still feel unwell?"
"It's all right. Ah Lan, don't get angry, okay?" Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan anxiously.
Seeing his appearance, Ji Linglan still couldn't help but soften her heart, and said: "If you dare to mess around again in the future, you will never forgive me easily, can you hear me clearly?"
Fu Nanling nodded hastily, and said, "Yeah, I understand."
Liu Xi and Ling Si stood on the sidelines watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, as if they were trees in the woods.Who would have thought that the fearsome third prince in front of him would act as well-behaved in front of a young man as... Forget it, for the sake of your head, stop thinking about it.
Ji Linglan reached out and touched Fu Nanling's forehead, and said: "Just now I met a farmer in the field, and I sat at his house on the pretext of borrowing water. It's just that this person is a bit greedy for money, so you need to be careful."
"Sometimes people who are greedy for money are more likely to reveal the truth."
Ji Linglan helped Fu Nanling get into the carriage, Zero Si stepped forward to lead the horse, Liu Xi was beside him, and Ji Linglan walked in front to lead the way.
As soon as he came out of the forest, Ji Linglan saw the man waiting at the entrance of the forest, and said with a smile: "Please wait for a long time, uncle, let's go."
The man glanced at the crowd, responded perfunctorily, and walked slowly ahead to lead the way.
Ji Linglan walked up to the man, and said, "Uncle, I see that there are many fields around here, why are only a few of them growing food? It's a pity that this good land is left unused."
The man glanced at him and said: "There are no people left, who will farm?"
Ji Linglan was stunned, and then asked: "Everyone is gone, what do you mean?"
"It's gone, it's gone, you are so noisy." The man seemed a little impatient.
Ji Linglan's face was stiff, and she smiled embarrassingly, and said: "Forgive me, uncle, I am just such a person, curious about everything, which annoys my young master, and won't let me talk. Those two are also reticent Speaking, I held back my way, it was really uncomfortable, so I couldn't help asking a few more questions until I met my uncle."
Ji Linglan's too ordinary appearance can easily arouse the favor of others, especially his simple attitude and calm tone, which can easily make people let go of their guard.
The man looked at Ji Linglan, and said slowly: "There are only [-]% of the residents in this village. Even if you are exhausted, it is impossible to cultivate all the land."
"Twenty percent? How could this be?" Ji Linglan looked at the man in surprise. This was definitely not a disguise. He really didn't expect such an astonishing figure.
"The one who died of starvation, during the severe drought five years ago, there was no crop and no food, so he died of starvation?" The man smiled indifferently, but there was a flash of grief in his eyes.
"Uncle, my family is in Ancheng. There was also a severe drought five years ago. Although I was young at that time, I also saw people from the government distribute food. It is inevitable that some people will starve to death, but it will not let so many people starve to death here. Bar."
"Government? Hehe, if the people of the government care about the common people, how can so many people starve to death?" The man smiled mockingly, and said, "Boy, have you ever seen people cannibalize? In order to survive, the living eat the dead After the dead eat up all of it, they think of ways to kill people and eat it.”
Ji Linglan looked at the man in shock. Although he had seen this kind of scene in movies and TV dramas before, he never expected that it would actually happen in this era.
The man sneered and said, "Whoever survived in this village has never eaten human flesh?"
"How could this be?" Ji Linglan couldn't calm down for a long time.
Seeing Ji Linglan's appearance, the man smiled sarcastically and said, "You're shocked? Do you know why you haven't seen a child or a woman after walking for so long?"
Ji Linglan couldn't help but stop when she heard the words, and stared at the man tongue-tied, completely frightened by her guess.
I didn't feel it just now, but after I was free, I just felt that my mouth was extremely dry. Ji Linglan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, saying: "The cause of death of that person was that a rib was inserted into his lung, resulting in massive internal hemorrhage."
"Hemorrhage?" Fu Nanling blinked, looking thirsty for knowledge.
"Bleeding is just..." Ji Linglan just wanted to explain, then remembered the current era, and said, "Ah Ling just needs to know that he was drowned by his own blood."

A Lan, you may not believe it, but I am so willing They are also thinking about the dead body, poisoning, framing, and burying nails, if it is not for my fate, they will be gone before I die of illness."
Ji Linglan sighed in his heart, and had to admit that he was completely relented.
"Alan, I...I admit that I am not as good as you think, and even...even a little bit bad, but I treat you sincerely. You are the only one who asks nothing of me, and you are the only one who can make me happy. I'm defenseless, I... I don't want to lose."
Fu Nanling's words were sincere, Ji Linglan couldn't tell the slightest bit of pretense, she couldn't help but burst into a wry smile, and slandered: Ji Linglan, ah Ji Linglan, you are really promising, what can you do with a child.Don't forget, you were originally a beggar, what kind of plans can his prince and grandson have against you.
"Alan, I was wrong, please forgive me." Fu Nanling reached out and pulled his clothes carefully.
Ji Linglan wasn't embarrassed at all when she pretended to be sleeping and was exposed by others. She turned her head to look at him, and she saw his bright red eyes. Coupled with his harmless and soft image at this time, no one can harden his heart.
Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling and said, "I don't know where the fault is, so why apologize?"
Fu Nanling lowered his head, tugged at his sleeves, and said aggrievedly: "Alan is angry, then it's my fault, and I should apologize for my mistakes."
Ji Linglan couldn't help crying and laughing when she heard the words, and said: "A Ling, you are the prince, how can you look so weak? If others see it, why don't you bully you to death?"
"Alan is not someone else, and Alan will not bully me!" Fu Nanling said this completely without thinking, subconsciously reacting.
Ji Linglan was stunned, and then said helplessly: "I really have nothing to do with you. A Ling, I understand the royal family's intrigue, life and death, you are not as simple as you appear on the surface, you have a layer of protection, this is all reasonable. Before I also I'm not angry, it's just... I just suddenly found that my perception of you is far from the essence, and sometimes it's hard to accept."
"Alan, I..."
Fu Nanling anxiously wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ji Linglan, and said: "A Ling, you don't need to explain, I figured it out, no matter what you look like, as long as you live up to me and the world, I will I recognize you as a friend."
"Alan, you are so kind!"
Seeing tears welling up in Fu Nanling's eyes, Ji Linglan quickly said: "Stop, man, don't shed tears when you bleed."
Fu Nanling raised his head, sniffed, and said, "Yeah, listen to Ah Lan."
……
On June 20, 29 Zhaoming, Ji Linglan and Fu Nanling left the city early to visit villages on the outskirts of the city.The four of them changed into a slightly ordinary carriage, their clothes were changed from silk to cotton clothes, their accessories were also removed, and their hair was tied up with ordinary headbands. Even with such attire, it was difficult to hide Fu Nanling The extravagance that comes with it is something that has been cultivated all the year round and engraved in the bones, and it is difficult to change in a short period of time.
Because it was summer, most farmers would go to work early in the morning and try to avoid the hot noon, so when Ji Linglan and the others came to the outskirts of the city, they were busy working.
Looking at the busy farming scene outside the window, Ji Linglan said, "Aling, this place is already some distance away from Ningcheng, and the surrounding farmlands are well maintained and prosperous. It seems that Gao Jin's superficial skills are really good. It's pretty good."
Since the two of them opened up their conversation yesterday, the relationship has not become stiff, but has become closer than before. To Fu Nanling, this can be regarded as a pleasant surprise.
Fu Nanling laughed, and said, "If it wasn't for the superficial skills, how could you have deceived the court for so long?"
Ji Linglan nodded in agreement and asked, "Then shall we go forward?"
Fu Nanling thought for a while, and said: "Let's go, Hong County is sixty miles east of Ningcheng, and it was once a hard-hit area. Let's go and see how the people are now."
"Succeed, imitation of notes is not easy anyway, let Xiao Lizi get acquainted with it first, and we will start with micro-services and private interviews." This trip, Xiao Lizi did not follow.
Ji Linglan had also watched some period dramas, and was very interested in the private visits of the emperor and imperial envoys in incognito clothes. It was as if he followed Gao Yuan to touch up the layout. Although he was tired, once he found the clues, the sense of accomplishment was indescribable.
"I plan to spend the night in Hong County tonight. It is best to stay at a farmhouse, so that I can understand the real situation in the local area."
Ji Linglan nodded, and said: "A Ling, your people have been to Liu's residence in the past few days, have you contacted Mrs. Liu?"
"There are Gao Jin's people around Liu's mansion, and even in the mansion. Whenever strangers enter the mansion, they will be strictly interrogated. Even if Ling Qi and his martial arts are good, they can't find a chance to enter the mansion for the time being. Now we can only wait and see what happens. , to ensure the safety of the entire Liu family."
"What A-Ling said is that once we enter the mansion and are discovered, not only will our whereabouts be exposed, but it will also implicate the entire Liu family. It is better to be more cautious, and we are not very sure that we will not enter the Liu mansion."
The carriage was not in a hurry, and it didn't arrive at the destination until two hours later. Even so, Ji Linglan still got motion sickness. Last time, after taking the motion sickness medicine, he forgot to leave a message for Tang Tang to add. This time, he could only bite the bullet He resisted stubbornly, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he sat on the shaft of the car and learned how to drive with Liu Xi.With things to do and focusing on driving, Ji Linglan felt better.So that later, Ji Linglan learned to drive, Fu Nanling also sat outside, put on a straw hat and got up with him, while [-] and [-] got into the carriage and asked the prince to drive them. On the tip of the knife, one must have the courage to face death as home.
After entering the field, the two got out of the car, because it was almost noon, the sun was scorching hot, even with the breeze blowing, it was still unbearably hot.Ji Linglan stood there and looked around. Unlike the busy farming scene in the suburbs of Ningcheng, there is a lot of land here, but not much arable land, and only a few people are working.
"A Ling, you're right, it's really different here." Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling, saw that his face was flushed, and asked with concern: "A Ling, do you feel unwell?"
"No problem..." Seeing Ji Linglan frowning, Fu Nanling said honestly, "Just a little dizzy and short of breath."
"This is a sign of heatstroke." Ji Linglan looked around, turned to look at Liu Xi, and said, "Get in the car. Brother Liu, drive the car, and go fast to the woods ahead."
"Okay." Liu Xi responded quickly.
Ji Linglan helped Fu Nanling into the carriage, opened all the curtains of the windows, and then handed the water bottle to Fu Nanling, signaling him to drink water, while she fanned him with a fan.
The carriage drove very fast, but it was not bumpy, and soon came to the outside of the woods.Because of the short distance, Ji Linglan didn't feel too uncomfortable, and helped Fu Nanling get out of the car.He took a small stool from the car and chose a shady place for him to sit on. Ji Linglan continued to fan him with a fan.
"How do you feel, have your symptoms eased?"
"It's better, Alan, don't worry."
Seeing that the flush on his face had faded a lot, Ji Linglan was relieved. There was no medicine for heatstroke in the locker, and he was not familiar with the place here, and he had a heart disease. Could have killed him.
Seeing that Ji Linglan didn't speak for a while, Fu Nanling asked cautiously: "Alan, are you angry?"
"Yes, very angry." Ji Linglan stuffed the fan to Liu Xi beside him, and said, "Brother Liu, fan him for him. I'll go over there to check the situation in the field."
Seeing that Ji Linglan was about to leave, Fu Nanling also stood up, but saw that Ji Linglan stopped, turned around and said threateningly: "If you continue to mess around, I will be even angrier!"
Fu Nanling stood there aggrieved, "Then let Ling Si follow Ah Lan."
"No, it's better for me to go by myself. You stay here obediently, and I'll be back soon."
Ji Linglan didn't say any more, and walked out of the woods.Helplessness flashed across Fu Nanling's eyes, and he said, "Zero Si, you go and protect him, don't let him find out."
"Yes, master."
Ji Linglan wore a straw hat, stood outside the forest, looked around, and walked towards the famous farmer who was closest to him.The man was also wearing a straw hat, holding a pipe and pot in his hand, and was sitting on the ground to rest.
Ji Linglan walked in and looked, and said with a smile: "Uncle, we passed by here, the water bag is empty, I want to ask you for a drink, is it convenient?"
The man was dark-skinned and skinny, with patches on his clothes piled on top of each other. He looked at Ji Linglan blankly, and said slowly, "It's not convenient."
Ji Linglan was stunned, this was a bit different from the expected script, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Then I will buy it with money, will it work?"
"Sure, you can do anything if you have money." The man knocked the pipe and pot on the ground, stood up and said, "I'm out of water in the kettle here, so if you want to drink water, you can come home with me."
"Uncle, our young master is resting in the woods over there, can we go with you? I have to trouble my uncle to get some food, of course we will buy it with money."
They pass by the field, this person must have seen it clearly, so he simply got up to have a look.
"Sure, whatever you have money will do." The man still said the same thing.
"The uncle wait a moment, I will report to my young master."
Seeing him nodding, Ji Linglan turned and walked towards the forest.Seeing him coming, Zero Four jumped off the tree and returned to Fu Nanling's side.
"Master, the son is back."
Fu Nanling looked at Lin Zikou, and he saw Ji Linglan coming in, and said with a smile: "Alan, you are back, you see I have never left."
Ji Linglan walked closer and said, "How do you feel now, but do you still feel unwell?"
"It's all right. Ah Lan, don't get angry, okay?" Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan anxiously.
Seeing his appearance, Ji Linglan still couldn't help but soften her heart, and said: "If you dare to mess around again in the future, you will never forgive me easily, can you hear me clearly?"
Fu Nanling nodded hastily, and said, "Yeah, I understand."
Liu Xi and Ling Si stood on the sidelines watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, as if they were trees in the woods.Who would have thought that the fearsome third prince in front of him would act as well-behaved in front of a young man as... Forget it, for the sake of your head, stop thinking about it.
Ji Linglan reached out and touched Fu Nanling's forehead, and said: "Just now I met a farmer in the field, and I sat at his house on the pretext of borrowing water. It's just that this person is a bit greedy for money, so you need to be careful."
"Sometimes people who are greedy for money are more likely to reveal the truth."
Ji Linglan helped Fu Nanling get into the carriage, Zero Si stepped forward to lead the horse, Liu Xi was beside him, and Ji Linglan walked in front to lead the way.
As soon as he came out of the forest, Ji Linglan saw the man waiting at the entrance of the forest, and said with a smile: "Please wait for a long time, uncle, let's go."
The man glanced at the crowd, responded perfunctorily, and walked slowly ahead to lead the way.
Ji Linglan walked up to the man, and said, "Uncle, I see that there are many fields around here, why are only a few of them growing food? It's a pity that this good land is left unused."
The man glanced at him and said: "There are no people left, who will farm?"
Ji Linglan was stunned, and then asked: "Everyone is gone, what do you mean?"
"It's gone, it's gone, you are so noisy." The man seemed a little impatient.
Ji Linglan's face was stiff, and she smiled embarrassingly, and said: "Forgive me, uncle, I am just such a person, curious about everything, which annoys my young master, and won't let me talk. Those two are also reticent Speaking, I held back my way, it was really uncomfortable, so I couldn't help asking a few more questions until I met my uncle."
Ji Linglan's too ordinary appearance can easily arouse the favor of others, especially his simple attitude and calm tone, which can easily make people let go of their guard.
The man looked at Ji Linglan, and said slowly: "There are only [-]% of the residents in this village. Even if you are exhausted, it is impossible to cultivate all the land."
"Twenty percent? How could this be?" Ji Linglan looked at the man in surprise. This was definitely not a disguise. He really didn't expect such an astonishing figure.
"The one who died of starvation, during the severe drought five years ago, there was no crop and no food, so he died of starvation?" The man smiled indifferently, but there was a flash of grief in his eyes.
"Uncle, my family is in Ancheng. There was also a severe drought five years ago. Although I was young at that time, I also saw people from the government distribute food. It is inevitable that some people will starve to death, but it will not let so many people starve to death here. Bar."
"Government? Hehe, if the people of the government care about the common people, how can so many people starve to death?" The man smiled mockingly, and said, "Boy, have you ever seen people cannibalize? In order to survive, the living eat the dead After the dead eat up all of it, they think of ways to kill people and eat it.”
Ji Linglan looked at the man in shock. Although he had seen this kind of scene in movies and TV dramas before, he never expected that it would actually happen in this era.
The man sneered and said, "Whoever survived in this village has never eaten human flesh?"
"How could this be?" Ji Linglan couldn't calm down for a long time.
Seeing Ji Linglan's appearance, the man smiled sarcastically and said, "You're shocked? Do you know why you haven't seen a child or a woman after walking for so long?"
Ji Linglan couldn't help but stop when she heard the words, and stared at the man tongue-tied, completely frightened by her guess.
