Chapter three hundred and twenty eight meet again
I took some money to look for a few good horses, and built a horse shed in the yard. I started my own horse-raising life. At the same time, I also asked a carpenter shop to help me build a carriage. The capacity was large enough and strong enough. I paid a part of the deposit in advance and let him start working.
On the way to the yamen, I heard rumors that something happened to the city lord.
However, the city lord was in charge of my life and death, so I went to the yamen without caring about it. After two or three days of leisure, I had something to do. Seven corpses lay in the morgue, and all of them were cut off. I must have been on the execution ground. I didn’t expect that there were so many death row prisoners. Logically speaking, family members should have given them benefits, but I think those benefits were eaten by the officials.
Although I have no benefits to take, I still have to do things when I need to do it, and I must respect the deceased. After all, I am now a corpse-sewing corpse maker Shi Xiao, not the general Wei Yang, and now the dominance of my body is mine.
There were six death row prisoners, one woman, and there were tattoos on them. The man had a hideous face and beautiful face, but he always felt like a bandit. Looking at the wrists of the corpse, there were thick calluses at the mouth and knuckles, you could tell at a glance that they were only able to hold a knife and a sword. In summary, I judged that these seven people were bandits.
I took a deep breath, no matter whether he was a good person or a bad person during his lifetime, he was a dead person in front of me.
Pick up the needle and thread and start sewing these seven corpses one by one. The stitching of the head is relatively simple. The main thing is not to let others see traces of sewing easily, otherwise it will be ugly.
A few hours later, the seven bodies were sewn. The same seven people also had no coffins, so I found a white cloth to cover them. It was already afternoon after I finished doing these things. My hands were covered with blood, and a few drops were splashed on my face. I went to wash it with some water. Then I locked the door. The official had a key, which would not affect them from lifting the body. Moreover, the yamen today had surprisingly few people, so I probably wouldn't come either.
I returned home with my tired body. Before I entered the door, I saw three gorgeous carriages parked in front of two stone beasts. The carriage marks were marked on the shaft of the carriage. The city lord actually came here. Could it be that the body I sewed last time, I came to cause trouble for me in addition to the problem?
But it's not like it. If you really want to cause trouble for me, just do it in the yamen. Why do you have to come in person?
I pretended to be expressionless and sneaked into the crowd, and casually found a spectator and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
"Don't you know yet? The city lord was poisoned. I heard that many doctors in the city couldn't see it well. I heard that there was a medical immortal here, so I came to try it. I don't know what the situation is going on now. I hope the medical immortal can cure the city lord. After all, it would be a pity for such a good girl to die."
"You will die if you say something depressed."
"Oh, why are you like this?"
I rushed out of the crowd and walked towards the yard. I was stopped by the guard, "I am Shi Xiao, I have helped you, and this is my home, so let me in quickly."
The two guards smiled and said, "Please come in, sir, are having tea inside."
I looked puzzled and entered the gate. I saw that the city lord Huo Jiayuan in the yard was still pale and weak, and it looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness. I chatted with Ouyang Lanzi on the stone table in the middle of the yard. I didn’t know what to talk about. Huo Jiayuan’s wrinkled face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum, while Ouyang Lan’s smile on his face was a bit far-fetched.
Leng Zheng and Li En stood behind Ouyang Lan, like personal servants protecting the young lady.
When Ouyang Lan saw my figure, she hurriedly shouted: "Shi Xiao, come quickly and meet Lord Huo."
Seeing Huo Jiayuan's smile stiff, I walked up to him, "Lord Huo is in a bad mood. Has something big happened?" I walked to Ouyang Lan and asked with concern.
Huo Jiayuan looked unhappy and did not respond to my words. Instead, he smiled at Ouyang Lan: "Thanks to Miss Ouyang this time, I will thank you next time." Then he said, "You three listen to Miss Ouyang's orders carefully. If you have any problems, you can come to me at any time and I will help you solve them."
"By the way, I still have a little thought here, so please accept Miss Ouyang." Huo Jiayuan signaled the servant behind him to bring the things up.
A vermilion gift box, you can tell that the things inside are of great value when you open it. After opening it, it is a golden bracelet inlaid with red and sapphires. Each gem is as big as a peanut and crystal clear. Each one is a perfect size created by top craftsmen, red and blue, and extremely noble.
But our faces were calm and we did not show too much surprise. The other soul in my body was General Wei Yang. There were countless treasures that had been seen. Li En and the three of them were rich in their families, and they had seen a lot of jewelry. Huo Jiayuan saw that our reaction was normal and he was a little disappointed.
Huo Jiayuan glanced at the colorful stone bracelet that was more than a hundred times cheaper than Ou Yanlan, and said, "Only this kind of jewelry can be worthy of the girl's identity. It's better to throw it away as soon as possible."
Ouyang Lan's face gradually became colder, "I'm sorry, I can't take it away, and there is nothing I wear on my hands to replace it. Please leave, the clinic is about to close."
Huo Jiayuan was a little embarrassed, and I smiled and said, "Since it was given by Lord Huo, then take it. I will take it on her first and thank Lord Zhuo."
Huo Jiayuan touched his beard and smiled and nodded, "Then I will say goodbye first, see you later."
After Huo Jiayuan left, Ouyang Lan said angrily: "What are you doing? Why do you decide for me?"
I threw the box on the table, and Li En said, "Shi Xiao was also out of kindness. That old guy knew at a glance that he was a cruel and ruthless old scoundrel. If you don't give him face, you will definitely hold a grudge in the future. Maybe all four of us will have to finish playing."
Leng Zheng picked up the bracelet and put it in his hand and looked at it, saying, "Besides, why don't you want what others gave? Then I will sell it for money."
Ouyang Lan then calmed down and said to me: "Okay, I blamed you wrongly."
I was so impressed by the black blood on the ground that Ouyang Lan said, I didn't have time to respond. A hint of sadness appeared on Ouyang Lan's face, and Liu Xueyan came out and smiled, "He is thinking about something."
I asked, "What exactly is Huo Jiayuan coming to you?"
Ouyang Lan explained: "He was poisoned by the poison and his life was in danger. Fortunately, he came in time, so I rescued him and made a lot of money."
I frowned, and Ouyang Lan said in confusion: "What? Are you still unhappy after making money?"
A gust of cold wind blew in the room, and the door closed with a bang. Liu Xueyan said lightly: "The poison he was in is a special poison used by the imperial guards in the palace. No one can solve it except sacrifices. The person in charge of this group of guards is Wei Yang."
Everyone suddenly realized and asked in unison: "What do you mean is Huo Jiayuan and Wei Yang have contact?"
Liu Xueyan nodded solemnly.
