At midnight that night, the news spread like wildfire that Dr. Liu had hanged himself in prison.
Yu Lingyun, who had been paying attention to the prison, naturally learned about the incident immediately. He took people to the prison overnight to investigate the situation. After confirming that he really committed suicide and was not a homicide, Yu Lingyun was silent for a long time.
Under the surprised eyes of all the jailers, it was announced that Dr. Liu had been buried.
Before the burial, Yu Lingyun called the jailer out to guard the door, leaving Su Chi alone with him.
"Sir, what is this?" Su Chi was a little confused when he saw his boss's actions and called everyone out.
Yu Lingyun took a deep breath, ignored Su Chi, and stepped forward to take off Dr. Liu's pants.
Su Chi:! ! !
Halfway through the process, Yu Lingyun gasped, followed by guilt and self-blame.
How could he doubt what Doctor Liu said during the day? If the pain that hurt a man's self-esteem was not real, how could Doctor Liu talk about it? He deserves to die! It's him who's suspicious.
I have developed a habit of handling cases for many years, so this suspicious and thoughtful behavior is purely subconscious.
I saw that Doctor Liu's lower body was indeed bitten by a big insect as he said. There are still items missing there, and the dense scars are even more shocking. It shows how much pain he suffered at that time. No wonder he was like this. I hate His Majesty and Concubine Nawan. No one can help but hate them, right?
Su Chi naturally saw it at this moment, and he was so shocked that he couldn't even ask questions at this moment.
Unexpectedly, the young Dr. Liu would actually...
Yu Lingyun quickly put on Dr. Liu's pants and clothes, and said to Su Chi without looking back, "Don't let anyone know about this." No matter what mistakes he made during his lifetime, he must leave others with dignity after his death. , this is a pitiful and hateful person.
After hearing this, Su Chi finally came back to his senses and hurriedly answered, "Yes."
The death of Imperial Doctor Liu did not cause a stir, nor did it involve his wife, children, and clan members. His family and clan members were sad for him for a while.
His son Liu Shuo has also been rescued by Su Xiang's people. As for the chaos after returning to the Liu Mansion to recognize his relatives, no one knows.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the camp of the Northwest Army coach was heavy.
The continuous cooling has caused many soldiers and horses to freeze to death, and countless people have suffered frostbite. If this continues, what should we do?
There were dozens of generals sitting in the camp. Among them, the one with the highest official position was Marshal Xiao Beiqi, who was also the second-grade Zhenguo Duke of Dayu. Although he was over fifty years old, he was still full of energy, tall and handsome. Smiling and unsmiling.
Sitting below it on the left and right sides are generals with high positions in the army.
"In my opinion, let's report it directly to the court? How many soldiers will freeze to death if this continues!"
"But in previous years, when we wanted money, the ministers in the court were always trying to push it back and forth, damn it!"
"Those sour fellows only talk a lot, but don't take any actual actions. Every time I see them back in Beijing, I want to punch them in the face."
"We need money this time. The weather this year is particularly bad. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers don't need money or food. How can we feed them!?"
"Don't you think the marshal hasn't asked for it? I reported it a month ago, but there is still no news. Isn't this the same as in previous years? I just put some money between my teeth when I can't hold it off anymore! Just those people Minister, if you stick your butt up, labor and management will know what shit they are going to do!”
"Hahaha, you kid! Guess what they poop?"
"Go away! This is a metaphor of labor and management! Do you understand the metaphor? Forget it, you illiterate, what am I talking to you about!"
"Hey! Hei Wa, don't think that just because you learned a few words from the Third Major General, you think you are a scholar! Who doesn't know your three-word axe?"
"Hey! I said you two should fight! This is business!"
The two people who were arguing suddenly fell silent, turning their heads to one side and ignoring each other.
"Marshal, I think you can ask for it again. According to the news that came before, there is still some money left in the money donated by your Majesty and the ministers for disaster relief. It should be possible to ask for money at this time." Military advisor Lu Liuguang stroked his hand. The long beard said.
Thinking about the news he had received before, Lu Liuguang's eyes were full of interest. The capital city during this period was really different from usual!
Hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at Lu Liuguang with big eyes open.
If this is the case, then we may be able to get a lot of money this time. With the money, the lives of the brothers can be improved, and they can also buy some clothes to withstand the cold winter.
"Father, my son thinks what Military Master Lu said makes sense. The situation in the army cannot be delayed any longer. The third brother has been out for a month and has not come back. I am afraid that he has not raised much military rations." At this time in the past, the third brother had returned long ago. , but this time it took a long time.
Xiao Mingchen knows a lot of news. After all, he is a direct descendant of the Xiao family. His father will also discuss the changes in the court with their brothers. The situation this year is not good, with poor grain harvests and frequent natural disasters. Basically, every household has some food reserves. I don't dare to sell too much. It's basically impossible for the third brother to go to the village to buy food at low prices like before. Maybe the eldest brother in the capital can find some ways.
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the camp became heavy again and again. The food in the army was only enough to last for a month. If the third major general could not buy enough food this time, what would happen to so many soldiers in the army?
Xiao Beiqi, who was at the top, frowned, thought for a long time and said, "I'll play it again."
In recent years, if the army had really relied on the court's money to support the 200,000-strong army, I am afraid they would have starved to death. Every time at this time, I always have to pay for food and warm clothing out of my own pocket. This happens every year, but That can only be bought if the situation is good. This year is like this, the third son is probably very worried, right?
Xiao Beiqi gets a headache just thinking about it!
The third son basically does all the business in the army, and he always brings back a large amount of food. But this time, even he, the father, is not optimistic. He only hopes that he can bring back more or less this time. Bar!
The Northwest Military and Horse Marshal's Mansion.
In a quiet courtyard.
The Duke of Laozhen looked at the letter in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
He is now over seventy years old, with luxuriant hair, but he is energetic and has a kind-hearted appearance, but at this moment his eyes are so sharp that people dare not look directly at him.
"Ling Kingdom and Fenglan Kingdom, the ten-year period has come, and they are starting to become restless again..."
Immediately, he asked his servants to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write a reply.
Finally, the ink was dried, the envelope was sealed, and the letter was sent out.
