Chapter 1202 I have a good idea (1st update)
"The soldiers are coming to block the water and cover up the soil. Now, we have to wait!" Yang Ruoqing said.
"I believe that Tang Yazi will definitely come back. He has never made a mistake in doing anything." She said.
Mu Zichuan nodded: "Okay, then I will go to the canal first. The people above have come down, and I will try my best to delay the time."
"Yeah!"
Yang Ruoqing asked Li Zheng and the others to calm the villagers again and try their best to suppress everyone's fear.
Everyone acted separately.
When it was about to have dinner, Mu Zichuan sent Yang Huazhong back to report the news to Yang Ruoqing.
"Brother Zichuan asked me to tell you that the officers and soldiers from the county have arrived at the river. What should you do next?"
At this moment, Yang Ruoqing is helping Sun Shi cooks dinner.
Hearing this, he quickly took off the apron around his waist and put it aside: "Let's go to the river canal!"
When the father and daughter rushed to the river canal, it was already dark, and torches were lit by the river canal. .
A group of officers and soldiers secured the place beside the river where the Double Dragon Stele was found. When Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhong rushed over, they refused to let in.
It was Muzichuan who heard the noise and came out of a tent with lights on at the back, and then let the officers and soldiers pass.
“The leader’s surname is Wei, and he is a subordinate of Mr. Xu.”
On the way into the tent, Mu Zichuan whispered to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, knowing what she was doing.
Yang Huazhong stayed outside the tent, while Yang Ruoqing followed Mu Zichuan into the tent.
There were already several people sitting or standing inside the tent.
Yang Ruoqing glanced over and saw familiar ones, such as Li Zheng Wang Hongquan, two Li Zhengs from nearby Yujia Village and Zhengjia Village, and the Baochang of Qingshui Town.
In addition, there were three or four unfamiliar faces that she did not recognize.
Among them, the leader of this group was a tall and thin young man.
He was scolding him with a stern look on his face.
Yang Ruoqing looked at this man's unwillingness and sneered secretly in her heart. He must be Master Xu's confidant.
Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, the thief shouted to catch the thief.
Over there, the man surnamed Wei is still correcting himself in his precepts.
“As Li Zheng of Changping Village, when your village was digging a canal, we dug up the Double Dragon Stone Stele.”
“How dare you conceal such a big thing and not report it? Are you? What's the point?"
Li Zheng was so scolded that he stood there with his head lowered and was careful.
“Don’t reprimand Uncle Li Zheng, it was my idea to conceal this matter!”
A crisp female voice cut in, interrupting Wei Yixiao's words.
Wei Yixiao turned around and saw Yang Ruoqing walking into the tent with Mu Zichuan.
A young girl with a graceful figure.
With a delicate and elegant face, if she were in a gentle village in the county or the capital, such a girl would be his favorite!
But at this moment, the surprise in Wei Yixiao’s eyes was fleeting.
His eyes darkened, he ignored Yang Ruoqing's presence, and only asked Muzichuan in a very unhappy tone.
"We are discussing important matters here. What is the purpose of Mr. Mu bringing a girl in?"
The arrogance in his words is undisguised.
Mu Zichuan's face was stern. He glanced at Yang Ruoqing and said calmly: "This girl is from Changping Village. She played a big role in digging the canal this time."
"The tent Master Wei is standing in and the tea he just drank were all sponsored by this girl."
"She seems to know something about the Double Dragon Monument, so as an insider, it is appropriate to bring her in for questioning."
Mu Zichuan said. Oh wow, it turns out he is still an insider?
Wei Yixiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Ruoqing's whole body again.
In addition to being delicate, beautiful, young and attractive.
Wei Yixiao could no longer see what Yang Ruoqing knew.
"Master Mu, at this time, can you stop telling jokes? Wei really doesn't understand your humor!"
Wei Yixiao shook his head and said with a smile.
“The Double Dragon Stele is a sacred object buried deep in the ground and a symbol of the emperor.”
“You find a girl to tell her what you know. What can she know? Could it be that she is? The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descended to earth?" Wei Yixiao asked.
Mu Zichuan's brows knitted together, and just as he was about to speak out, Yang Ruoqing gently tugged on his sleeve.
Getting her hint, he temporarily suppressed the anger in his chest and stood aside.
Yang Ruoqing stood up, straightened her back, and looked directly at Wei Yixiao.
There is no shyness or timidity of rural girls.
"Master Wei, you keep saying that the Double Dragon Stele is a divine object given by God. So, may I ask, Master Wei, how long do you think such a divine object has been buried deep in the ground?"
she asked.
Wei Yixiao was startled.
Immediately said: "This... naturally it is a long, long time. How can I, an ordinary person, estimate that number of years!"
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "Then if I tell Mr. Wei, how can I estimate the number of years in our village?" You know the stone The person who made the stele used to go digging in the mountains to quarry stones.”
“Judging from the polishing marks on the words on the stele, it should have been made in the past two years. It is not an ancient artifact. What should Master Wei do. See?”
Yang Ruoqing asked.
The expression on Wei Yixiao's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
“Since it is a divine creature from heaven, it could have come to the world a long time ago.” He said.
"Maybe there wasn't one here before. Just because you dug the canal and angered God, God temporarily lowered this stone tablet to give you a warning!"
Wei Yixiao said , he let go of Li Zheng and walked towards Yang Ruoqing and Mu Zichuan.
"I heard that since you dug up the Double Dragon Stone Tablet, your village has no longer been peaceful."
"In one day, two people fell into the water, and one person was almost thrown off the roof of his house. Killed by tiles”
“Now the villagers are talking about it. Everyone thinks this is the anger of the gods.”
“Girl, you dared to conceal it and lie to others about it.”
Faced with Wei Yixiao's aggressive questions, Mu Zichuan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
He moved his body and was about to speak, but Yang Ruoqing had already spoken first.
"Master Wei's information is really well-informed."
"However, Master Wei only knows one thing but not the other. Those villagers who went wrong were all injured for their own reasons, not "They are all from my village. I know the situation better than you, Mr. Wei, and I have more say in this matter," she said.
In terms of tone, there is no intention of retreating at all.
Everyone else in the tent said nothing, looking at Yang Ruoqing and Wei Yixiao with their eyes.
Everyone was shocked. They all knew that Wei Yixiao was the right-hand man of the Imperial Envoy Master Xu and came down from the capital.
And Yang Ruoqing actually dared to argue with an official from the capital like this. This courage was really extraordinary.
Wei Yixiao himself was surprised.
“Okay, we won’t discuss the injuries to the villagers yet.”
