Chapter 630 Angry Birds
What flew over was a black shadow, not a white homing pigeon.
Li Jingyao thought he was dazzled.
Until the shadow fell on Yan Ruyu's shoulder, her small black bean-like eyes turned and she tilted her head to look at him.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Li Jingyao felt that the bird was staring at him and examining him.
Li Jingyao couldn't help but straighten his back, and then felt funny again - why was he afraid of a bird?
As soon as this idea came to my mind, Myna suddenly called out.
"Oh yo~"
The voice was a bit high-pitched, as if someone was speaking deliberately with a pinched throat, and the ending was particularly long.
For some reason, Li Jingyao remembered the state and tone of Wu Lao Er's wife in the village when she quarreled and cursed with her neighbors.
Li Jingyao: "..."
Just as he was frozen, not knowing what to say, another white shadow came over.
This time the homing pigeon is really back.
This homing pigeon is very beautiful. It was specially raised by a policeman he bribed in the yamen. The policeman raised several birds, but this one is only the best. This pigeon is usually very arrogant.
The homing pigeon had a yellow beak and red paws, bright eyes, and a letterbox tied to its leg. It landed on the table, and its eyes fell on the starling. Then it strutted a few steps, and the paw with the letterbox tied on it moved forward a little bit.
Obviously, let Li Jingyao take it off.
Li Jingyao was embarrassed. For the first time, he felt that the carrier pigeon had saved him, so he quickly untied the letter.
"Your Majesty, what I just said is true. Some people have indeed gone to the government to complain, saying that their man is missing."
After Li Jingyao said that, he handed over the note. Huo Changhe took it and looked at it with Yan Ruyu.
Indeed, it was mentioned above that there were two sisters-in-law in Luojiazhuang who went to the Yamen to report the case and asked for an explanation. It turned out that the people in Luojiazhuang did not disappear fishing by themselves, but men from several families joined together to respond to the recruitment of the government, saying that they wanted to clean up the silt and sand in the river, and do one last cleanup before the winter freeze.
Unexpectedly, once I left, I never went back.
They couldn't wait and went to the government several times to inquire. The government had been vague until recently and said that accidents happened while working and many people died.
Life is hard, but fortunately, men are not afraid of working hard to earn money to support their wives and children. When a man in the family dies, the life of women and children is simply cut off.
The government couldn't bear it, so each family gave some money as compensation. Many people saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion and that people could not be resurrected after death, so they had no choice but to accept the money so that they could survive no matter how hard the life was.
But one of the sisters-in-law refused to give up and insisted on seeing her husband's body. The government could not provide it. She went to the Yamen several times to cry and complain. It was said that she was driven away by the Yamen yesterday, and the county magistrate had already issued a warning. Go and put her in jail for a while.
Yan Ruyu frowned after reading it.
"Your Majesty," she looked up at Huo Changhe, "I want to take a trip to Luojiazhuang."
"Okay," Huo Changhe agreed, "I'll go with you."
Seeing this, Li Jingyao had no choice but to say, "In that case, I will go and be a guide."
Huo Changhe did not object: "That's very good."
Yan Ruyu said: "Please, the master, please write a reply to your person and ask him to pay attention to this woman. If she is imprisoned again, please take care of her."
"This is natural," Li Jingyao wrote with pen and paper, "I will write immediately."
He quickly finished writing, packed the letter, and was about to tie it to the carrier pigeon's leg when the starling flapped its wings and flew down, landing on the table.
The myna strutted around, turned twice on the table, and finally stretched out its paws.
Li Jingyao was confused. At the end, he suddenly realized that this bird was imitating the homing pigeon just now.
The homing pigeon on the side seemed a little angry, flapped its wings and looked directly at the starling.
Myna had no fear and tilted his head to look at it: "Oh yo yo~ Xiongjiujiu, high-spirited, land on the table, raise your legs, flap your wings, and send a message. Brother, you will lose your temper in a second."
Li Jingyao: "..."
What kind of rogue bird is this!
The pigeon was so angry that it made a gurgling sound in its throat and fluttered its wings, looking like it wanted to fight.
Meng Beiling was shocked.
Yan Ruyu was also a little dumbfounded. She took out a piece of dried meat and gave it to Ba Ge: "Don't mess around."
The starling lowered his head and ate the meat, leisurely and contentedly, completely ignoring the angry homing pigeon.
Yan Ruyu took a few grains of millet and fed them to the pigeon. The pigeon's anger gradually subsided and he tried to taste the millet. He probably thought it was delicious and looked up at her again.
Meng Beiling was surprised. This pigeon would not be eaten by anyone, not even him, let alone other people in the village.
This is what pigeon owners are most proud of.
Unexpectedly, he actually ate Yan Ruyu's food now.
The pigeon ate something and became less angry, so it flew away with the letter.
Li Jingyao said: "Your Majesty, Princess, when do you plan to go to Luojiazhuang?"
"As soon as possible."
Yan Ruyu was worried that the woman would be embarrassed by the government.
"Okay, then I'll get ready immediately."
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment: "Master, please change your clothes and dress more simply."
"……it is good."
Li Jingyao didn't know why, but he didn't ask any more questions and let Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe take a rest while he went to prepare.
Meng Beiling also retreated, and the secret guard was not far away.
Only Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu were left.
"You have something to say to me?" Huo Changhe asked.
Yan Ruyu took out a small paper bag, opened it gently, and spread it in the palm of her hand.
Huo Changhe looked down and saw some fine sand. Yan Ruyu's palm changed its angle. When Huo Changhe looked carefully, his eyes widened slightly.
Yan Ruyu took out a small stone the size of a small fingernail.
Huo Changhe glanced at her: "This is it?"
"What was found on one of the corpses was that they were found in the gaps between the fingernails and small stones were hidden under his body."
"So, they were not washed away in an accident as the government said, but were taken away to do hard labor."
"It should be," Yan Ruyu put away the paper bag with a gloomy look, "so I had a hunch from the beginning that their death might be related to what Qi Tianmeng said."
"But Qi Tianmeng doesn't know what the so-called treasure is."
"This is what I can't figure out," Yan Ruyu said in a low voice, "So, we have to take a trip. But the matter must be kept secret. Don't tell the boss until it is confirmed. Their identities are not tolerated by the government. , if I interfere in this matter again, I'm afraid it will cause disaster."
Huo Changhe nodded: "That's right."
"After it becomes clear, we will discuss it with him and see what he says."
Yan Ruyu clenched the thing in her hand. The gold mine was enough to drive people crazy at any time.
Even if the gold at this time is far less pure than the refining technology of later generations, it can still tempt countless people to be greedy.
Hopefully, Yan Ruyu thought to herself, she wouldn't be stained with too many people's blood.
