Chapter Thirty-ninth First Clues
Lian'er's sudden actions scared Li Haochen, but Lian'er's words shocked Li Haochen even more. He asked, "Lian'er, you said that not all the village names of your Xiaozhuang Village were killed. Where are they now?" Li Haochen was shocked because if the information from the Tang Dynasty Intelligence Bureau was wrong, it was not found that the people in Lian'er, the Xiaozhuang Village, were still alive, and there was still a sense of emotion. If it were Xiaozhuang Village, many people still survived, but the Intelligence Bureau gave him such information, and the matter inside was a bit interesting. So he now wants to determine whether Lian'er's words are true. It is easy to distinguish between the true and false. If Lian'er's words are true, then directly find the villagers in Xiaozhuang Village and you will know what happened.
Looking at Li Haochen's serious question, Lian'er was a little scared, but she knew that Brother Rengui who saved her was a good person. She didn't want to leave Brother Rengui, so she gritted her teeth and said, "The people in our village were captured by the government and locked them up!"
Li Haochen was surprised again when he heard this, and then asked in confusion: "What are the people from the government arresting the people in your village?"
Hearing Li Haochen's words, Lian'er seemed to have thought of something sad and started crying again. However, Li Haochen wanted to know the truth about the matter, so he asked again: "What is the situation? Tell me truthfully, otherwise I will let your brother Rengui take you away!" After saying this, Li Haochen secretly scolded himself for being shameless and threatened a little girl, but he wanted to know that he really wanted to think about it, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Sure enough, Lian'er was so scared that she forgot to cry when she heard Li Haochen's words, and hurriedly said, "Don't send Lian'er away. Brother Rengui is a good person. Lian'er doesn't want to leave Brother Rengui, I'll tell you..."
Li Haochen listened to Lian'er's words and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was good to have a good appearance, and he didn't see Xue Rengui doing anything. Lian'er didn't want to leave him anymore. Li Haochen expressed helplessness about this.
Through Lian'er's narration, Li Haochen finally understood the general situation. It turned out that the villagers of Xiaozhuang Village inadvertently discovered the real reason for the Yellow River break before the Yellow River break. They wanted to wait for the imperial envoy to come and report it to the imperial envoy, but the news leaked. The villagers of Xiaozhuang Village asked several strong men in the village to go to the capital to file a lawsuit. However, these strong men just set out, the official constable surrounded Xiaozhuang Village, saying that the villagers of Xiaozhuang Village had ill intentions to rebel and arrested them all. Lian'er hid in the cellar at home and was not discovered and escaped a disaster. The men who left the village to file a lawsuit in the capital were not so lucky. As soon as they left the village, they were discovered by the constables who surrounded the village and arrested them all.
After hearing Lian'er's narration, Li Haochen was furious and slapped the table and shouted angrily: "What a group of corrupt officials, do they still have any kingly laws in their eyes!"
Li Haochen suddenly got angry, and Lian'er was so scared that she shrank behind Xue Rengui again. However, Lian'er also knew that Li Haochen was not angry at him. Li Haochen got angry, Di Xiaoxu and Xue Rengui didn't dare to say much. Fang Xuanling saw that everyone could not speak, but as Li Haochen's number one think tank, his assassin could not help but persuade: "God relieve your anger, and temporarily collect the thunder fire. The most important thing at the moment is, let's ask this little girl if she knows why the Yellow River broke, and where the villagers in Xiaozhuang Village are at this moment!"
Fang Xuanling's words calmed Li Haochen a little, but his chest was fluctuating violently, obviously because he was so angry just now. Li Haochen asked Lian'er according to Fang Xuanling's question just now. As a result, Lian'er shook her head and said that she didn't know where the villagers were locked up, nor why the Yellow River broke. He still heard about the Yellow River breaking incident inadvertently listening to his parents chatting.
Seeing this situation, Fang Xuanling said to Li Haochen again: "There are more than 180 people in Xiaozhuang Village, General. It is estimated that only the prison in the prefecture can let go. We can go directly to Bianzhou City and check the Bianzhou Prison to know whether the little girl is telling the truth or lies!"
Fang Xuanling didn't believe what Lian'er said was true at this moment, or she still had some reservations about this Lian'er of unknown origin. Li Haochen looked at Fang Xuanling with some curiosity and said, "Mr. Xuanling, don't you believe what Lian'er said is true now? I don't think she is lying!"
Fang Xuanling sighed and replied, "It's not that General, I don't believe in this little girl, but I must be careful! General!"
Li Haochen heard Fang Xuanling's words and knew that he was also for his own good. Although he didn't agree, he didn't say anything. Di Xiaoxu, who had not spoken at this time, said, "Sir, I don't agree with Mr. Fang's words just now!"
Listening to Di Xiaoxu's words, Li Haochen laughed and said, "Mr. Di also thinks that what Lian'er said is true. She has no problem. It seems that Mr. Xuanling is a bit too cautious!"
Li Haochen had just finished speaking, and Di Xiaoxu quickly clasped his fists and bowed again: "What the little girl said is true or false. The official still can't say it well, but if what she said is true, it will definitely not work for us to go to the Bianzhou Prison!"
Li Haochen didn't expect that Di Xiaoxu was talking about this, which made him really unable to keep up with the rhythm, but then he asked, "What are the opinions of Lord Di? Why can't he go?"
Di Xiaoxu stroked the goatee and said with a smile: "Gao Jianxiaguan will not be there at that time, but if we go to Bianzhou Prison at this moment, no matter whether this girl Lian'er said it is true or false, we will definitely get nothing!"
Li Haochen looked at him in confusion as he listened to Di Xiaoxu's words. Di Xiaoxu looked at Li Haochen's puzzled eyes, but did not keep it in hiding, but continued: "Sir, no matter which Lian'er or the intelligence is real or which is fake, one thing is certain is that our itinerary has been discovered by them. If I rushed to Bianzhou Prison rashly now, they would have settled everything before we go, so we will definitely get nothing at that time."
Li Haochen nodded as Di Xiaoxu said, "What Lord Di said is, then what should we do? We know that the villagers are suffering from unjust grievances, but we turn a blind eye and wait for death. Then we are not going to betray the holy grace this time when we come to Henan Road!"
Listening to Li Haochen's words, Di Xiaoxu smiled and said, "Sir, don't be impatient. The official has a plan to find out where the villagers are being locked up. This method is a bit dangerous. I wonder if you are willing?"
