In the dormitory.
Qi Yu looked at his wife, who was pale and sleeping soundly, feeling heartbroken.
Alas, if I had known that giving birth to a child was so dangerous, I wouldn't have let this little brat take it!
However, this firm idea only existed for a few breaths before being softened by the scene before him.
Look, the chubby little face of the baby, as well as the small nose and the slightly open and closed mouth, look so friendly no matter how you look at it.
Is he my son?
That's right, I am his father!
Tsk tsk~~
It feels so good to have children!
Otherwise, let the lady have a few more children?
After being immersed and satisfied for a while, Qi Yu quietly slipped out again.
Nowadays, when there is a disaster, the market will definitely be closed, and trading will be forced to stop, so you have to think about whether there are any urgently needed supplies at home.
First of all, regarding children, now that goat milk is available for breastfeeding, it can be regarded as a solution to an urgent need. As for the baby's swaddling clothes, small clothes, etc., Zhou and Liu Quan had already prepared a large pile, which was enough. But Xiaotong has entered childhood and can completely follow the adults in life and diet.
What remains are the materials needed for life.
Let’s talk about food first. Basically, you don’t have to worry about it, it’s enough to eat.
Now, he not only raises chickens but also grows seasonal vegetables in his backyard. Even if the market is closed, he will not be short of vegetables and meat.
No matter when, food should come first.
Now it seems that the most foresighted one is my mother.
If it weren't for her persistence before, wouldn't she be faced with nothing to eat now?
…
Generally speaking, all aspects of the home are in good condition and there are no omissions.
News also came back from the government school, saying that they would have to rest for seven days in a row, and classes would not start until after that.
In other words, you can stay at home with peace of mind during this period.
Um? Paternity leave is also delivered to your doorstep?
Accept it calmly...
In fact, with Mr. Zhou and Mr. Cong here, he basically doesn't need to take care of anything. At most, he can only do some small errands.
What's gratifying is that the little mythical beast drinks goat's milk happily and eats greedily; it doesn't cry or fuss when sleeping, and is in good condition.
Xiaotong stopped playing in the yard and went into the house without coming out. She said she wanted to stay with her little brother for fear that he would be scared.
…
Three days later, Mrs. Cong said that the child was feeding smoothly and did not choke when swallowing, so he should be considered stable. The only person who is worrying is Liu Quan. She was born prematurely due to trauma this time. She doesn't know if she has any physical injuries. It's best to find a doctor to take a look.
Looking for a doctor?
Haha, isn’t Mr. Meng ready-made? And he was also a medical doctor.
Ok, deal!
Just as Qi Yu was about to go out to invite him, he suddenly saw an important guest coming.
But it was Mr. Yu and his party!
How strange! How strange!
If he doesn't stay well in Lanshan County, what is he doing in this chaotic city?
After thinking about it, Qi Yu still covered up his doubts and stepped forward to greet him.
"Master Yu, long time no see, your style is even better than before!"
"Where, where? I see that Shaocheng's face is glowing red. Could it be that there is some happy event at home?"
Um? You guessed so accurately?
Qi Yu looked admired on the surface, but in his heart he despised him.
There are red eggs on the table. Isn’t this asking questions knowingly?
A person like him who doesn't mean what he says is really... worth learning from!
"Master Yu has an eye as sharp as a torch and a god for predicting events. Now it's time to welcome a child to my humble home." Qi Yu gave up his seat while explaining the situation.
The two of them sat down.
Yu Hai was moved to the top position, while Qi Yu was tilted half way to the lower position.
"Tea, please!"
"You're welcome." Mr. Yu laughed, and then said: "Since it happens to be a happy wedding, I naturally have to express it. Come! Get the gift!"
Um?
This... I even knew that today was the third day of washing, and I came prepared. How could this be a coincidence?
However, with Yu Hai's status and ability, it would not be difficult for him to get some information.
Qi Yu didn't criticize it, and happily accepted the congratulatory gift. When he opened it, he saw that the gift box contained a silver longevity lock. The workmanship was quite exquisite and it seemed to be worth a lot of money.
"Your Excellency is so kind, but Shaocheng is disrespectful."
"you are welcome……"
"..."
Suddenly, Mr. Yu's face became solemn, he waved his sleeves and shouted back, and ordered people to close the door. It seemed that he had something to say.
Is there something shady about closing the door in broad daylight?
Qi Yu was suspicious, but he didn't say anything clearly, he just sat there quietly.
Yu Hai said: "Shaocheng, do you know where your respected master Mr. Wenzhu is now?"
Qi Yu was startled and asked, "Why do you ask this, sir? Is it possible that sir is not in the house at the moment?"
"It's true that he's not here. The Meng Mansion has been emptied out. Mr. Meng doesn't even have any servants left." Yu Hai nodded.
This...sir is gone?
If even the servants are not here, he must have gone far away.
I was still thinking about going to find him to diagnose my wife, but I didn't expect that it would be such an unlucky thing.
Qi Yu sighed softly: "Actually, I haven't seen Mr. for a long time. He didn't inform me of his departure this time, so I don't know where he is."
"Oh, so that's it..."
"My lord, sir, are you looking for something?"
Yu Hai didn't hide anything, and said respectfully: "I originally wanted to ask him for a way to settle down, but unexpectedly we didn't have the opportunity to meet him. What a coincidence!"
"Can I ask for a solution?"
In my impression, Mr. Yu is not only wise, but also good at using tricks. Even Meng Lanshan said that he is an official who can use his brain. A smart man like him still needs to ask others for advice?
Qi Yu chuckled and said in a more subdued manner: "My lord, you are humble, what can trouble you? Even without my husband's advice, you still have enough wisdom to deal with it safely."
"No! This time is different, because something big happened!"
"Big deal? What big deal?"
Yu Hai smiled bitterly and said, "I can't hide this for a few days. Well, King Yongchuan has passed away!"
What, the prince is dead?
No, didn't he go out of the city to worship Buddha? How could he die suddenly?
"Our relationship can be considered as fellow travelers, and you are Mr. Wenzhu's student, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." Yu Hai twirled his beard and added: "King Yongchuan died in this Emperor Worship Cult. In rebellion.”
Then, he lowered his voice and said with profound meaning: "It is said that when the prince passed away, he was wearing a white robe unique to the leader of the Emperor Worship Sect. In addition, the main altar was within his fiefdom. In a barren mountain."
Taste carefully...
This sentence contains a lot of information!
Can it be understood that King Yongchuan is the so-called bandit chief?
If this hypothesis is true, doesn't it mean that he is the instigator behind this riot?
However, given his transcendent status and extensive connections, he is really capable of doing this!
The main altar of the Imperial Worship Sect is in his fiefdom. Could this be a coincidence?
It's obviously impossible. Do you think that with such a big force entrenched in their own territory, how can the master not feel it?
Judging from the time, he had just left the city, and the Emperor Worshiping Cult followed in the riots. Wasn't this a withdrawal in advance?
Well, it should be!
But what was his motive for doing this?
He is already a noble prince, what else is missing?
Could it be...
Buddha said: It cannot be said!
Qi Yu touched Lord Yu with a look that could only be understood but not explained, and then they both nodded at the same time with an expression of seeing through but not telling, and they understood each other tacitly.
Yu Hai smacked his lips and said: "Let's put it this way, even if King Yongchuan is guilty, his life and death should be decided by the Holy Inquisition. Now that he dies so violently, doesn't it bring a big trouble to the local magistrate?"
Hearing the words "big trouble", Qi Yu couldn't help but tremble. He suddenly remembered that Meng Lanshan had said this to him. Could it be that the gentleman had already discerned something?
Don’t think so far away yet, let’s look at what’s in front of you first.
As the saying goes, if a child cries, he should be hugged by his mother. If a son does something wrong, his own father will teach him a lesson. How can he be punished directly by others?
This is a majestic prince, not just a cat or a dog.
Qi Yu thought for a while and advised, "Don't worry too much, sir. Even if the superiors come to investigate, Sir Tongzhi will take care of it. How can they cause trouble to you, the magistrate of Lanshan County?"
Yu Hai immediately smiled and said: "Shaocheng doesn't know something. I am now the acting magistrate of Yongchuan Prefecture. I only need to wait for the appointment letter from the Ministry of Personnel to arrive before I can officially take office." After a pause, he said warmly again Said: "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you. Without your help, how could I have such a good opportunity?"
oh! Master Yu really climbed up!
Mr. Meng’s vision is so vicious!
Qi Yu hurriedly congratulated: "Congratulations, sir, on your rapid rise in official career! It's really admirable that you can overpower your colleagues and sit on the throne of the prefect in one fell swoop."
Yu Hai shook his head and said, "Actually, Lord Tongzhi should have taken over the post of magistrate, but unexpectedly he died in the fight against the rebellion, so it's my turn."
Uh, why is Master Tongzhi also dead?
Qi Yu hurriedly cupped his hands toward the north and said with a solemn expression: "Master Tongzhi took the lead and sacrificed his life for the country. He is a hero!"
"But not!" Yu Hai smiled strangely and added: "As far as I know, he was killed by his own eyes..."
What does it mean?
Could it be that Master Tongzhi saw something he shouldn't have seen?
So scary...
Qi Yu suppressed the shock in his heart and asked as calmly as possible: "Sir, you told me this, aren't you afraid that I will leak the news?"
Yu Hai smiled and said: "If it comes from my mouth and enters your ears, who will know it? Besides, I can get all this information, how can I hide it from your respected master's wisdom? Even if I don't tell him, he will I’ll tell you.”
This statement is indeed true.
Later, Yu Hai expressed his worries.
That is, why did the government troops immediately gather in place as soon as the Yongchuan Wang Fang incident happened?
This is obviously the news that was received beforehand!
Um……
The deeper you think about it, the deeper the water feels.
It was precisely because of this that Yu Hai felt powerless and wanted to ask Meng Lanshan for a clever plan, but unexpectedly he came up with nothing. Moreover, even Qi Yu didn't know where he went.
After Lord Yu left, Qi Yu fell into deep thought.
The death of King Yongchuan is very much like the result of some kind of game, and what kind of secret is behind it?
There is also this Emperor Worship Cult.
The wife's injury was entirely caused by them. Was she really clinging to them?
