Shi Qingxue couldn't understand.
Mo Junyang paused and said something to wake up the dreamer: "Under voluntary circumstances, most people will naturally not be willing to cannibalize the same kind, but it may not be possible under voluntary circumstances!"
"You mean..." Shi Qingxue's eyes were like stars in the sky, suddenly lit up at night.
Brilliant and moving.
She looked at Mo Junyang excitedly, "Someone secretly let the people of Jiangzhou City eat food contaminated with corpse poison?!"
No need for Mo Junyang to answer, she already clearly felt that she had guessed the truth.
But immediately she had new doubts.
For example: How did so many disaster victims eat things contaminated with corpse poison without knowing it
For example: What is the purpose of the mastermind behind these things
Another example: What is the reason for letting the "plague" in Jiangzhou disappear now
One question after another troubled Shi Qingxue, leaving her puzzled.
It looked like Mo Junyang knew something, but the other party pretended not to know anything and left her alone to worry.
"Hey, aren't you going to explain to me?" Shi Qingxue wrapped her arms around Mo Junyang's neck unhappily, forcing the other person to face her, making sure that the other person saw how unhappy she was.
But he didn't realize at all how tempting he was to look at Mo Junyang with his small mouth pouting and his big round eyes staring at him.
Mo Junyang slid his Adam's apple calmly, choosing the former between the two issues of hiding it, which might be exposed by Shi Qingxue, and telling the truth, which might cause trouble.
Then he said seriously: "Do you know why so many people died in Jiangzhou, and the governor of Jiangzhou can still sit in his position without being taken down?"
Although it still aroused the suspicion of the court and sent Mo Junyang to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Shi Qingxue rolled her eyes in confusion, "Isn't it because he bribed his boss that he thought he was safe?"
Although she was not in official circles, she had heard many similar things.
Since ancient times, officials protecting each other is definitely not as exaggerated and terrifying as the books say, but it is not unheard of. At least her father has told her many such disgusting dark stories.
Qingxue has been taught since she was a child to believe in all the beautiful stories in the world, but she will not overly beautify the world.
So when she said this, she was a little depressed, but not too uncomfortable.
Mo Junyang seemed to sense that she was depressed, so he touched her little head and comforted her silently.
Then he said: "There must be the factors you mentioned, but if you really want to talk about it, it must be that Yan Xu has not made a big mistake, and then the higher-ups dare to protect him."
"But with so many people dying in Jiangzhou City, is it still not a big mistake?" Shi Qingxue's eyes widened in disbelief.
Mo Junyang shook his head and secretly thought that Qingxue was still a little too immature in these matters, but he explained to the other party in detail: "Jiangzhou suffered a big disaster this time. Many people died, but most people's The death was due to the horrific plague, which was a force majeure event.
In other words, no one who becomes the prefect of Jiangzhou can change this ending. "
Shi Qingxue lowered her head and muttered unhappily: "That's not the case! It definitely wouldn't be like this for you."
Mo Junyang: "..."
He didn't know that his baby actually thought so highly of him that he, who was always eloquent, didn't know what to say
Shi Qingxue probably realized that she had gone too far with her love talk, so she quickly coughed twice and actively changed the subject: "What, that's not what I meant. You are saying that the reason why Yan Xu firmly holds the position of prefect is because he did what he did Is it the right thing to do, but the ending is unsatisfactory?”
Mo Junyang thoughtfully did not expose Shi Qingxue's guilty conscience, and nodded in response: "At least that's what it seems on the surface?"
"What!" Shi Qingxue was unhappy again, "But he obviously didn't do anything! He didn't care about the life and death of the people. On the surface, he seems to be a dog official who can be punished by everyone, right?"
Mo Junyang: "This is true or not. If you don't believe me, go outside and ask. During the floods, the people of Jiangzhou were greatly favored by the prefect. If the prefect had not reported to the court, asking the court to send food and money, and Opening a granary to provide porridge, many people who have been affected by floods simply cannot survive."
"Is he that good?" Shi Qingxue asked suspiciously.
However, after Mo Junyang said this, Shi Qingxue also remembered that the county annals indeed recorded that during the period after the flood, the magistrate of Jiangzhou led officials from all over Jiangzhou to help the people with porridge at the gate of the prefecture. story.
But Shi Qingxue thought that it was really just a story, which Yan Xu shamelessly made up in order to commend himself!
Is not it
Mo Junyang watched Qingxue fluttering her fan, fluttering her eyelashes like dancing butterflies, and couldn't help but laugh, "Of course not, even if Yan Xu had the heart and courage, he would not dare to write down things that never happened in the county annals , it would be a serious crime to be beheaded if found out."
County annals are like historical annals, which require seeking truth from facts and can occasionally exaggerate or emphasize. However, if you dare to write down things that do not exist, it is tampering with history.
Regardless of the reason, he will be killed immediately.
This setting is a bit harsh, but it is also to prevent local officials from exaggerating in order to highlight their own performance.
Therefore, any official with any brains would not take the risk of being beheaded just to leave a good name in history. It is not cost-effective.
Yan Xu would definitely not do such a thing.
In other words, has Yan Xu really done such a "good thing" as giving out porridge
Shi Qingxue was stunned.
As if she wasn't surprised enough, Mo Junyang added: "Moreover, Yan Xu not only gave porridge at the gate of the prefect's mansion, but also sent people to various villages and towns many times to give porridge. Many villages and towns in Jiangzhou have official humanistic care 's footprints."
"That's it!"
Shi Qingxue looked a little confused and didn't react for a long time.
So Yan Xu is actually a good person, but before they even came to Jiangzhou City, they preconceivedly classified Yan Xu as a bad guy and beat him up
She was thinking wildly, and the more she thought about it, the more ashamed she became. She wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"Don't think too much. I don't know whether other officials were wronged or not, but Yan Xu definitely did not wrong him at all." Mo Junyang stopped Shi Qingxue's completely unnecessary guilt in time and told the truth categorically.
Shi Qingxue was really confused now.
It was Mo Junyang who said that Yan Xu was giving porridge to the disaster relief. Why is it he who said that Yan Xu is not a good person now
Mo Junyang seemed to see the doubts in Shi Qingxue's heart. He lazily raised his eyelids and said coolly: "Who told you that giving porridge must be for disaster relief?"
"You mean..."
Mo Junyang suddenly changed the topic, "I have checked before. The disaster relief money and grain sent by the court were transported away before they were transported to the granary of Jiangzhou Prefecture. Where do you think Yan Xu came from? Do you use money and food to do good deeds for the people of Jiangzhou?"
Shi Qingxue: "!!!"
She felt as if she had touched some horrifying truth, and for a moment she didn't dare to think about it any more.
Mo Junyang seemed to be afraid that she was not shocked enough, and said slowly: "Didn't you ask me before how those victims were infected with corpse poison on a large scale without knowing it?"
Shi Qingxue was so shocked that her eyes almost fell out. Such a picture emerged in her mind uncontrollably—
Yan Xu put on a loving and rescuing look and stood at the entrance of the government office, giving porridge to the victims who were all emaciated and hungry for who knows how many days. The aroma of the porridge was overflowing, and it seemed that there was also a strong aroma of meat, which attracted the group of victims to rush to take it away. After drinking a bowl of thick porridge with the aroma of meat, they were grateful to Yan Xu, and then Leave satisfied.
But he had no idea what he was eating...
"vomit!"
Just imagining such a scene made Shi Qingxue uncontrollably turn away his face and retched. It was really disgusting!
Mo Junyang saw that he seemed to have frightened Qingxue by speaking too bluntly, so he quickly patted Qingxue's back carefully.
But the truth was so disgusting, and he didn't know how to make Shi Qingxue forget such a disgusting scene. He could only coax dryly: "Don't think so much, don't think so much!"
Perhaps the man's rare soft voice had an effect, and Shi Qingxue really didn't continue to retching.
But he still didn't look good. He frowned for a long time and reluctantly complained to Mo Junyang: "Yan Xu actually did such a crazy thing, he deserves to die!"
Mo Junyang nodded in agreement and assured: "Don't worry, he will definitely die."
Shi Qingxue felt a little relieved after receiving the guarantee.
After thinking about it, she pulled Mo Junyang's sleeves uneasily and asked in a low voice: "He is really too perverted. Do we really want to attend the dinner party he hosted tonight?"
Shi Qingxue felt sick to her stomach just thinking about Yan Xu's face. She couldn't guarantee whether she would actually vomit to Yan Xu when she saw him.
Thinking about that scene, it’s so sour!
Besides, Yan Xu is so crazy, who knows if he will get the 'food' for them to eat when he gets crazy!
Shi Qingxue got goosebumps aroused by her own imagination, and her whole body nestled into Mo Junyang's arms and refused to come out, muttering and complaining softly.
Although she knew that Mo Junyang was trying to lure the snake out of its hole, what Yan Xu did was beyond her tolerance.
She couldn't explicitly ask Mo Junyang not to attend the dinner, and she couldn't even stop going herself. Could it be that she wasn't allowed to lie in her man's arms and act like a baby
My own man…
Shi Qingxue, who was hit hard by this thought, finally felt a little better and stopped talking. She just stuck to Mo Junyang and said kind words affectionately.
"Jun Yang, let's settle the matter in Jiangzhou quickly and then return to Beijing, okay? My father must have solved Mo Junhao by then, and I'll have my revenge. Let's not think about the past and be happy forever. Let's happily be together, okay..."
Mo Junyang listened quietly while Qingxue softly and squirmingly sketched out a bright future for the two of them, and his heart felt peaceful.
At this time, neither of them knew that a greater suffering was waiting for them.
