"What? It must be Cao Gang. He is Gao Jin's eyeliner here. Because he has some personal grievances with the official, he has always wanted to put the official to death. In the evening, the official had an argument with him. He must have thought about it. The excuse is that you want to murder us. Your Highness, the officials go out to lure them away. You can see the timing and let the guards send you away. Take the account book and leave Liaoyuan immediately, rush back to the capital, and report the matter to the emperor."

Ji Linglan objected aloud: "No, Mr. Xu, since that Cao Gang has a personal grudge against you, then your going here must be a disaster."

Xu Huaiwen's expression was slightly slow, and he said calmly: "Silly boy, in order to win Gao Jin's trust and keep this evidence, I have already committed a capital crime. Now that I can get my wish and let the truth be revealed to the world, then I will It’s death without regret.”

Fu Nanling looked at Liu Xi and asked, "How many of them are here?"

"Back to the master, there are less than 20 people, all of them have weapons in their hands, they look like Lianjiazi."

Xu Huaiwen interjected at the right time: "They are Gao Jin's private guards, and they only obey Gao Jin's orders."

"How many people like this are there in the village?"

"Forty. Although there are such private guards at all the entrances and exits of Hong County, this is the most. One is because Xucao Village is the only place Ning Cheng enters Hong County; the other is because they want to monitor the officials. A chess piece." Xu Huaiwen smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It seems that they have mobilized half of their staff." Fu Nanling looked at Liu Xi and said, "Are you sure?"

"The seventh floor, but if there is a fight, it will inevitably attract more people." This is what Liu Xi is most worried about.

Ji Linglan interrupted suddenly: "Brother Liu, Brother Gao, you take A Ling and Master Xu to the roof to hide, I have a way to deal with them."

"No!" The four said in unison.

"Oh, now is not the time to explain. After I have set up the mechanism, Brother Liu will come down to pick me up. I won't be so stupid as to fight against them. Believe me, hurry up, there is no time."

Liu Xi and Gao Si looked at each other, and led them up to the roof one by one.Ji Linglan walked out of the door to a dark corner, directly entered the dissecting room, and took out hepta/fluorine/alkane from the locker. This is an inhaled anesthetic, which Ji Linglan asked Tang Tang to prepare for self-defense. .After thinking for a while, he took out the scissors from the drawer, took two more pieces of paper, cut them into two small figures, and then left the dissection room.

Re-entering the main room, Ji Linglan closed the doors and windows, fixed the cut figure with something, placed it next to the candle, and watched the shadow reflected on the window to adjust its position.Finally, he held his breath and sprayed anesthetics in the room. These anesthetics are volatile, and the amount is not enough to make so many people unconscious for a short time, but at least they can make their bodies react, so that Liu Xi and Gauss can fight again. , it will be much more relaxed, and there will not be much noise.

When everything was ready, Ji Linglan hurried out of the room, closed the door tightly, and gestured to Liu Xi.Liu Xi understood, jumped down, grabbed Ji Linglan's waist, and jumped back to the roof easily, but Ji Linglan's hands and feet softened, and she fell into Liu Xi's arms.

Seeing this, Fu Nanling frowned, pushed Liu Xi away with a palm, pulled Ji Linglan into his arms, and asked in a concerned voice, "Alan, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, just my hands and feet are a little weak, and it will be fine after a while. You don't need to help me, I'll just sit here for a while." Ji Linglan smiled wryly. He must have smelled a small amount of Qi/ Fluorine/alkane.

Sensing Ji Linglan's movements, Fu Nanling tightened his arms and said, "Don't move, the roof is too dirty and in disrepair for a long time, and there are people outside who are staring at it, it's not good if they find out."

Ji Linglan thought about it too, so she didn't struggle any more, because her attention was all on the bottom, and she didn't notice the overly intimate posture between the two.Liu Xi and Gao Si took it for granted, while Xu Huaiwen just frowned. After all, they were both young and didn't think about anything else.Only the corners of Fu Nanling's mouth turned up, and his heart blossomed with joy.

After a slight noise, one figure after another came in from outside the courtyard wall. Although their movements were not as light as Liu Xi and Gauss's, it could be seen that they were also Lianjiazi.The leader, Cao Gang, looked at the main room with the lights on, with a sinister smile on his face.

Cao Ergou walked up to Cao Gang and whispered, "Brother, there is no one in the guest room."

As soon as Cao Gang waved his hand, everyone rushed up and walked towards the main room.Cao Ergou kicked open the door and walked in first, followed by Cao Gang.

"Xu..." Cao Gang's words were interrupted by the empty room, and he shouted with a gloomy expression, "Sou, don't let go of any corner!"

People poured into the room one after another, rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room, while Cao Gang came to the table, looked at the paper figurines and candles on it, his face was so gloomy that he could drip water.

Cao Ergou said angrily, "Brother, he ran away."

"Chasing, if you live, you want to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses!" Cao Gang gritted his teeth.

"Brothers follow me!"

Cao Ergou responded aggressively, but before he reached the door, he felt his legs go limp. He walked to the door with support, and was about to step over the threshold, but he couldn't lift his feet. A face fell to the ground, followed by a scream.

Seeing this, Cao Gang was furious, walked towards the door, and cursed: "You trash, you can't pass even one threshold, what's the use of keeping you."

As soon as Cao Gang finished speaking, he suddenly felt his legs go limp. Before he could lift his feet, he fell forward and fell to the ground with a 'bang'.

Cao Gang reacted suddenly and shouted: "Mixiang, it's Mixiang!"

Ji Linglan quickly reminded: "Brother Liu, Brother Gao, you need to hold your breath when entering the room."

Liu Xi and Gao Si glanced at each other, jumped down from the roof, and came to the door of the main room. They couldn't help being dazed for a while when they saw the people stumbling around. , all others were killed.

Hearing the wailing from below, Ji Linglan felt uncomfortable. Although he understood that it was necessary given the current situation, he was not from this era after all, and it was contrary to the education he had received since he was a child. And he's a forensic doctor...

Sensing Ji Linglan's stiff body, Fu Nanling asked softly, "Alan, what's wrong with you, but you don't feel well?"

Ji Linglan opened her mouth, but finally shook her head and said, "Your Highness, I'm fine."

With Xu Huaiwen by his side, Ji Linglan had to take care of something after all, so he didn't call him 'A Ling'.

Fu Nanling was silent for a while, and asked, "Ah Lan, can't you kill someone?"

Suddenly, Fu Nanling seemed to understand why Ji Linglan's emotions were always wrong every time he killed someone in his previous life.

"Yes, even if they are guilty, they should be judged by the law. Your Highness, isn't it?" Ji Linglan said what was in her heart.

"Alan, if we don't do something, we will be the ones who die."

"I understand, I will adapt slowly, thank you Your Highness for your concern."

Fu Nanling frowned, he could feel the change in Ji Linglan's tone, as if he had become cold.Fu Nanling subconsciously tightened his arms, and said in a soft tone: "Alan..."

"Your Highness!" Ji Linglan interrupted Fu Nanling, and glanced at Xu Huaiwen. If Xu Huaiwen listened to that obedient and soft tone, Fu Nanling's majesty in front of others would be completely destroyed.He pushed Fu Nanling's body and said: "I'm fine now, Your Highness can let go."

Fu Nanling whispered in Ji Linglan's ear, "Unless Ah Lan doesn't get angry with me, I won't let go even if I die."

"Your Highness, I'm not angry, you can let go now." Ji Linglan also understood Fu Nanling's temperament, if he was stubborn and could do anything, he could only follow him first.

Fu Nanling hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly let go.

Liu Xi and Gao Si threw the corpses below into one of the guest rooms before jumping up to the roof and bringing the three of them down.

Fu Nanling looked at Xu Huaiwen and asked, "Master Xu, do you know where the others are?"

Xu Huaiwen bowed and replied: "Your Highness, I need to identify the officials so that we can know where the remaining people are."

"it is good."

Xu Huaiwen checked the corpse in the guest room with a candle, and then left the house with Gauss.Ji Linglan looked at the backs of them leaving, and sighed inwardly, but didn't say much after all.

"Alan, you are right. They are going to go through the trial of the law, but they have to act in a hurry. The current situation is life and death. When dealing with cruel people like them, you must not soften your heart."

"I understand, Your Highness does not need to explain."

Ji Linglan understands that in terms of the current situation, Fu Nanling's actions are understandable, he just hasn't adapted to the current era, not to mention that he made those people lose their ability to move, so they didn't even have a chance to struggle , and lost his life.Ji Linglan looked at her hands, as if she could see the blood stained on them.

Fu Nanling stepped forward and tugged at Ji Linglan's sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "A Ling, you said you were not angry, why do you still call me Your Highness, there is no one else here?"

Ji Linglan's heart is in a mess now, and he urgently needs to reshape his three views. He has no intention of coaxing him, so he said patiently: "A Ling, I want to go to the toilet."

"I'll accompany you."

"No, I want to be alone for a while. You can interrogate Cao Gang. I'll come back as soon as I go." After Ji Linglan finished speaking, she turned around and left.

The corner of Fu Nanling's mouth curled into a wry smile, and he murmured: "Ah Lan, Ah Lan, I also want to protect you for the rest of my life and never let you see blood, but my body..."

Ji Linglan went to the dark place and went straight into the dissecting room, unexpectedly Tang Tang was there.Ji Linglan subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. He walked up to Tang Tang strangely and asked aloud, "Tang Tang, why haven't you got off work yet?"

Tang Tang, who was leaning against the locker in a daze, was startled by the sudden voice, and then complained: "Master, before you speak out next time, can you give me a little reminder, I'm almost scared out of you Heart attack."

"How to give a hint? Could it be that I sing a song before I speak?"

"Don't, the singing in the middle of the night is even scarier." Tang Tang couldn't help shaking his body.

Ji Linglan said amusedly: "Look at how promising you are. Tell me, why are you still not off work at this point?"

"It's not that I haven't talked to the master for several days, I miss you."

"Come on, tell the truth, is it the 'March 3' case, and there are some twists and turns?"

"Really! The last time we met, you said that what you were going to do was very dangerous. I was a little worried, so I came here every day to see if you had been here. Today, I saw that there was a lack of seven/fluorine/ in the locker Alkane, you said it was for self-defense, and I thought you must be in trouble, so I was a little worried."

Hearing this, Ji Linglan felt warm in her heart, sighed, and said, "Oh, something really happened today..."

After listening to Ji Linglan's narration, Tang Tang couldn't get back to his senses for a while, just like when he first heard this incident, it took a long time before he regained his ability to speak.

"Master, what you said is true? Are they really exchanging children for food?"

Ji Linglan sighed heavily and said, "I'm afraid it's true."

"That's too cruel. This tiger poison doesn't eat its eggs. How could it be?" Tang Tang still couldn't accept that such a cruel fact really existed in this world.

"In order to live, people will expose their selfish nature. This village not only has no children, but also no women."

"This is too..." Tang Tang couldn't find any words to describe his mood at the moment.

Ji Linglan also fell silent, calming down her chaotic mood.

Tang Tang naturally understood why Ji Linglan was entangled, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Master, you usually tell me the truth, and I can't think of how to comfort you for a while, after all, the society of that era The system is completely different from modern times, and we can't look at it from the same perspective. But I think that the third prince is right, 'you should follow the power', isn't your situation like 'life and death', let alone those who stand on the side of justice It's you, and they're all criminals. Of course, I know that doesn't apply in modern society."

Ji Linglan smiled wryly and said: "I understand all these principles. The reason why I am upset is not because I feel that what they are doing is wrong. It is because the three views established in the past conflict with the current social system, and I can't turn around for a while. .”

Tang Tang hesitated and said, "Master, I think it's because you instinctively reject that world that you haven't been able to adapt for so long. Your usual adaptability is not like this."

Ji Linglan was startled when she heard the words, and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything to refute.

Seeing Ji Linglan's silence, Tang Tang couldn't help calling out, "Master, master?"

Ji Linglan smiled wryly, and said: "You brat, you usually look stupid and stupid, but you can see it better than me. Yes, although I have been living in that world during this time, I have not I didn’t regard myself as a person in that world, thinking about problems and dealing with things, always thinking and doing from the perspective of ‘I’m just a passer-by’. I completely forgot that the me in modern society is dead, and now I’m just that The 'Ji Linglan' of the world."

"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that..." Hearing what Ji Linglan said, Tang Tang felt uncomfortable.

"Silly boy, what are you sorry for? You woke me up." Ji Linglan exhaled heavily, and said, "You're right, I should change."

Tang Tang asked nervously: "Master, will you come back in the future? I mean the anatomy room, you won't want me."

"Of course I will come back. The level of medical treatment in that world is limited. Even if the side effects are small, I don't want to drink medicinal soup whenever I get sick. It's too bad. Oh, by the way, you can help me stock up on some antidotes, especially Arsenic, also called arsenic in that world, is a commonly used poison.”

"Sure, master, you can do whatever you want. I will find a way to get another locker, preferably one that can be refrigerated. I will buy all kinds of antidotes and put them in it." Tang Tang's dependence on Ji Linglan , no less than Fu Nanling, but the direction of their relationship is different. Tang Tang's respect for Ji Linglan is due to his dependence on his elders.

"Silly boy, you are not afraid of being defeated by me to bankruptcy."

Tang Tang said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, you are with the prince now. He is a member of the royal family. You can buy a small pharmacy if you reward him with any gold and silver jewelry. I even pointed at the master's thigh and said loudly money."

Ji Linglan was amused by Tang Tang, and the irritability in her heart gradually dissipated, saying: "Even if it is a reward, it won't be of much value. After all, those things have lost the most important sense of age. Okay, let's not talk about it, I will Go back first, if they disappear for too long, they will worry."

"Okay, master, take care of yourself, be sure to pay attention to your safety, and change your soft-heartedness a little bit." Tang Tang couldn't help telling.

"Understood, long-winded."

Ji Linglan left the dissecting room, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she was hugged full of arms.

"Alan, where have you been? I thought something happened to you."

Sensing the uneasiness in Fu Nanling's tone, Ji Linglan patted him on the back reassuringly, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Fu Nanling let go of Ji Linglan, looked at him with misty eyes, and begged: "Alan, if I make you angry again in the future, you can punish me any way you want. Can you not leave alone?"

At this time, Fu Nanling reminded Ji Linglan of Tang Tang, who had asked a similar question just now.He nodded and said: "Okay, if we have conflicts in the future, we will resolve them face to face, and there will be no cold war."

"No cold war? Yes, just no cold war." Fu Nanling smiled happily and rolled his eyes.

Ji Linglan didn't realize at all that she was slowly approaching the love trap woven by Fu Nanling.He took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Master Xu and Brother Gao are back?"

Fu Nanling didn't bother, and replied: "Not yet, but it should be soon."

"Then Ah Ling ever interrogated Cao Gang?"

"Alan's not here, I'm not in the mood..." Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan anxiously.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing, and said, "When we didn't know each other before, how did you do things?"

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. How can we compare?"

Ji Linglan couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and said: "If your words are heard by the emperor, I will definitely not end well."

"Alan, no one can hurt you, not even father."

Seeing the seriousness in Fu Nanling's eyes, Ji Linglan's heart was shocked, she never expected Fu Nanling's dependence on him to such an extent.

A burst of footsteps interrupted the weird atmosphere between the two.Ji Linglan looked in the direction of the courtyard gate, and saw Xu Huaiwen walking out of the shadows, followed by Gauss.

"Master Xu, Brother Gao, you are back."

"I'm back, there is no fish that slipped through the net." Xu Huaiwen couldn't hide his excitement in his eyes, walked to Fu Nanling, bowed and said: "Your Highness, please move, let the official tell His Highness what happened back then in detail."

Fu Nanling glanced at Ji Linglan and said, "Let's go to the guest room and have a talk."

Liu Xi and Gauss looked at each other, then jumped onto the roof.The other four went into the guest room together. Because there were no chairs, Fu Nanling simply sat on the bed, Ji Linglan stood beside him, Gao Si guarded the door, and Xu Huaiwen stood opposite.

Xu Huaiwen knelt down on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and said: "Xiaguan Hong County Magistrate Xu Huaiwen, see Your Highness, thousand years old."

Fu Nanling also corrected his expression, it was completely different from the soft and cute Ji Linglan was used to, exuding the aura of a superior person all over his body, if it wasn't the same face, Ji Linglan wouldn't think it was the same person.

"Master Xu, let's get down."

Xu Huaiwen straightened up a little, but did not stand up, and said: "Your Highness, I have committed a lot of crimes, please allow me to kneel down and answer."

"Sure. Master Xu, if you have anything to say, you can say it now."

Xu Huaiwen was silent for a while, and then he said: "In the 16th year of Zhaoming, there was a severe drought in Hong County, there was no harvest, and the people had no food to satisfy their hunger. The officials wrote to the court for several days, and finally waited for the news that the court sent relief money and food. To appease the victims of the disaster, persuade various grain stores and rich merchants to donate money and grain, and even pay for the purchase by themselves and distribute it to the people to relieve their urgent needs. But this is a bottomless pit. I have waited for more than a month, and still haven't seen the relief grain. Seeing that there was no money or food at home, even drinking water became a problem, and people in the city even starved to death, the lower officials knew that they couldn't wait, so they rushed to the chief secretary of Ningcheng to inquire about the whereabouts of the relief food. But Xiaguan went there three times, and each time the guards at the gate stopped him outside the yamen, not to mention the chief envoy, but the chief secretary. Except for the guards at the gate, no one in Xiaguan had ever seen him. "

Seeing Xu Huaiwen stop, Ji Linglan couldn't help asking: "After that, Master Xu hasn't seen Gao Jin?"

"That's right, it's Gao Jin. Not only is he unworthy of being an official, but he's also unworthy of being a human being." Xu Huaiwen's tone was full of undisguised resentment, and he continued: "The lower officials were shut down three times in a row, so I knew it was Gao Jin who didn't want to see the lower officials. , so Xiaguan guarded the gate of Gao's mansion for two days and two nights, and finally waited for Gao Jin. The Xiaguan rushed up to stop his sedan chair and asked about the whereabouts of the relief food, but was beaten by Gao Jin's men involuntarily. After a meal, he poured a bag of rice on the lower official like a humiliation. The lower official got up, ignored the humiliation, and put the rice on the ground into the rice bag without falling. Food can save lives."

"Master Xu, you..." Ji Linglan felt uncomfortable hearing this, but she didn't know what to say.

Xu Huaiwen calmed down, and continued: "Your official can't just go back like this. The [-] people in Hong County are waiting for your help, and your official swears in his heart that even if he is beaten to death, he will bring back the relief food." Another half month passed, and the official finally entered the Chief Secretary smoothly. Gao Jin showed her kindness to the official in every possible way. Before saying that, the official had no eyesight and did not know the identity of the official, so he did the offensive thing. The official knew it well. , and don’t care about personal gains or losses, as long as you can bring back the relief food. Gao Jin was very straightforward, allocated the relief food, and escorted it to Hong County by the lower official and the imperial guards from Kyoto. The lower official didn’t care about other things. They hurriedly organized the distribution of grain, and each household had a stone of white fresh rice distributed. Before the people could even taste the taste, they were collected again by the chief secretary and the officials of the punishment department. The actual distribution to the people was a few years ago Every family has less than ten catties of old rice. Ten catties of rice can last for a few days, this is literally forcing the people to their death!"

"This Gao Jin really deserves to die!" Although Xu Huaiwen had mentioned it before, Ji Linglan still couldn't calm down the anger in his heart.

"Anyone who resists the common people will be beaten severely, even to death. The officials went to the chief secretary to argue, and they were also beaten out. They also threatened that if the people in the county continue to mess around, they will also take all the old rice. And took it back. The people were worried that they would really take back the food, so they stopped their flags and drums. But the food could last for a few days, and the officials wanted to write to the court to report the truth about Hong County, but Gao Jin's people sent the letter to the court. Hui, threatened the lower officials to be obedient, otherwise they would die without a place to die. The lower officials agreed on the surface and sent people to the capital in private, but they were still stopped. They not only killed the person who sent the letter, but also broke into the lower official's house and forced The lower officials killed their wives and swallowed the flesh of their parents and children..."
