General, cut off your sleeves!

Chapter 39: Unexpected Death

If you choose to find a job, it is indeed a waste of time as Zou Jinchu said, just for survival, and it is difficult to find a place that is willing to accept yourself.

Choosing to stay and wait for three years means that he owes Zou Jinchu a big favor. He was born in an orphanage and is used to self-reliance in everything. Shit self-esteem got tripped up.

The unaccompanied young man has nothing else to offer except his strength. As his friend, seeing him relying on hard work to earn money to survive is also unbearable, and it is not a big deal for the general's house to have an extra meal.But considering the boy's self-esteem, he still took a compromise.

"Otherwise, all your expenditures here for three years will be recorded on your account, and it won't be too late when you earn it later. I think you also know that the more you know and understand, the more you can earn. "

Of course Mo Wanqing knew this truth. Back then he was admitted for free because of his excellent grades, and the scholarship alone was enough to live on every year.

But now he is very unfamiliar with this world, completely ignorant of its system, and those things he learned before are completely useless here.It's ridiculous that the archaeological knowledge he learned is completely incompatible with this place, and here he is like an imbecile.

Although this hurt his little heart, it was the most practical thing, he was useless here.

That's why he was very moved by Zou Jinchu's proposal. He knew that he was a fast learner and willing to endure hardships. In time, he would definitely not be someone else's drag.

Later, Zou Jinchu's proposal moved his heart even more, but he still didn't agree on the spot, just said: "Let me think about it."

The next day, Mo Wanqing woke up in the soft quilt and sighed, the life of the rich is really comfortable.

Yes, Mo Wanqing thinks that she is poor and will never have anything to do with the word rich or honor.It was the worst when he didn't go to school, and when he went to school, it was just food and clothing. At that time, the minimum guarantee provided by the empire to the poor was barely enough for him to eat the lowest-grade nutrients to maintain his life.

He has never experienced higher enjoyment, even after entering the military, he is still terribly poor.

There's nothing he can do about it, who told him that he doesn't have much talent in making money, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a miserable situation just relying on his IQ.

After tidying up in the morning and leaving, Zou Jinchu arranged a carriage for him, wanting to refuse?Impossible, Zou Jinchu keeps his word, if he doesn't agree, he can't let him go out.

According to the "bully", "You want to ride a horse even if you are injured? You are looking for death! Besides, you don't know where the Li family is, so it's useless if you don't have anyone to guide you."

Well, the second half of the sentence is the reason why Mo Wanqing accepted this carriage, not knowing the way is a flaw...

Old man Li solved the case in court that day. Although it seemed to benefit the Zhang family, he actually offended the Zhang family. It was all because of himself.

Maybe what Zou Jinchu said is right, there are some things that don't make others blame you if you don't do it, it's all because of him that it turned out like this.He should feel guilty for the innocent old man involved.

The swaying of the carriage was uncomfortable, especially when the injuries on his body were still fresh, it was really a torturous journey.But thinking that it would probably hurt even more if he was riding a horse, his bones might be shaken apart at some point.

Li's house is not too far away, the carriage walked for a while and turned two corners before entering a spacious alley.

"call"

The horse's footsteps gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in front of a bronze gate, and Mo Wanqing jumped straight down without waiting for anyone to help him.

Get out of the car and knock on the door to wait for someone to report, but after a while the master agreed, and the servant brought Mo Wanqing into the house.

The house of the Li family is not very big, it is just a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and there are even more sparse maids and servants on the road. Cong bamboo.

Not long after, he was taken to a small flower hall by the servant, saying that there were not many flowers in the flower hall, and the furnishings inside were too simple to be simpler.

It seems that the prefect's life is just like that.It's not like the saying in the teahouse that "three years clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflake silver", so the rumors are not credible.

This prefect Li, Judge Li has reservations.Thank him for not falling on the opposite side and suppressing him to death.But he did not stand on his side to earn justice for him.In addition, the matter of the beard is somewhat disturbing.

But looking at it all aside, he shouldn't be a bad person, otherwise old man Li wouldn't teach him a lesson.

Just as he was thinking of someone hurriedly walking outside, it was Li Chenye who was sweating profusely.At this time, his complexion was really not good, it was pale with blue, and looked extremely frightened.

Before Mo Wanqing could ask him, he said first, "Have you seen your father?"

Mo Wanqing felt an inexplicable "thump" in his heart, and quickly asked: "No, why, he disappeared?"

"Yeah, yesterday afternoon he said he was going out to buy wine, but he didn't come back. The people who sent out to look for him also asked about it in various wine shops. Only one said that he had left a long time ago, but he never came back."

My father "died" for 20 years and finally came back. It was supposed to be a good night to talk about all kinds of wine in the past 20 years, but the old man insisted on drinking by himself, and he disappeared again.

You must know that he disappeared and never came back back then, but he was frightened by what happened back then, and this time he said nothing to let that happen again.

But with the increase of the search area, there was still no news about his whereabouts, and Li Chenye had already gone crazy.When Mo Wanqing came over in the morning, thinking that he and his father had become close friends, he wanted to ask him if he had any news, but in the end, he failed again.

After hearing this, Mo Wanqing's face became ugly. He hurriedly asked a few places that old man Li liked to go to, and he got a reply shaking his head. Some people became nervous.

Of course he wouldn't wait here when he got anxious, Mo Wanqing was about to run out without saying a word, Li Chenye was stunned and quickly followed.

Whether you can find it or not, at least it is better than staying here.

The two searched around the city, and the place where old man Li loved to stay in the past was nowhere to be found, and anxiety shrouded them around.

Li Chenye's panic was even worse, he already vaguely had a bad prediction.

"Will he sneak into the river again?"

"Throwing into the river? Why did he throw himself into the river when he has nothing to do? Didn't you say that he went out to buy wine? How could he throw himself into the river properly when he bought wine?"

The series of questions on Mo Wanqing's face caught him off guard, but he was the most rational.People who want to die will not go to buy wine properly, besides, now that they are finally reunited, even if they want to die, it shouldn't be this time.

"I'm sorry, I'm also dizzy."

As a son, he is always worried that his father will suddenly lose his braids, he is pitiful enough.

"It's okay, I think maybe he was drinking secretly and fell asleep in a corner when he was drunk. Let's look again, don't mess yourself up."

At this time, Mo Wanqing is still more rational. He knows the old man Li's temperament. After 20 years, there is no reason to seek death, but why he disappeared is really difficult to guess.

The two searched for a while, but lunch was useless until the evening when the Zou family sent someone to look for him, with Zou Jinchu's order to let him go back immediately.Although Mo Wanqing disdained it, he went back obediently. After all, it was meaningless for him to stay here now.

After going back, what I saw was Zou Jinchu's stinky face, "It's okay, don't get involved with the Li family."

"I can't act like a normal person when the old man disappears, can I?"

Mo Wanqing was also on fire, wouldn't this kid be brilliant if given some sunshine?He listened to him only because of the soft mouth of others, and he was not really a child brought by parents.

That's right, Mo Wanqing just felt that Zou Jinchu treated him like a brat, and was still very childish and ignorant.I think he was also a general back then, how come he became an ignorant brat!

Zou Jinchu didn't want to quarrel with him, so he shouldn't have agreed to let him run out. Now that it's all right, if Uncle Li disappears like this, the Li family must be in chaos.

"Don't worry about it, I've sent someone out to help find it, and news will come. Is it possible that you alone can find it faster than dozens of pairs of eyes?"

Mo Wanqing had nothing to say, she folded her arms to the side, still frowning deeply.

Zou Jinchu saw that he couldn't be bothered to confront him, so he just asked the servant to take him down to rest. It's still early in the evening, and if he's lucky, there will be news tomorrow morning.

Mo Wanqing was asked to sleep in his room, and in order not to let his wife think too much about him, he slept in the study. There is no big difference between the left and right sleeping places.

Then Mo Wanqing was rolling tangled up on the big comfortable bed, what the old man said to him was still ringing in his ears, the old man made a fuss with him before and finally he gave up his life to help him...

He remembers all these things clearly. After all, he was safe, but the old man disappeared. Are you making trouble?

What's bothering is that not long after this side fell asleep, the news came from that side!

That said, I seem to see similar people by the moat...

Regardless of the follow-up, Mo Wanqing rushed over with her clothes on, and even forgot to put on her shoes.

But when he rushed there, what was waiting for him was a corpse that had long been frozen and stiff, and Li Chenye who agreed to be confused.

Wu Zuo's autopsy said that the time of death was probably last night, but the exact time is uncertain.There were no special wounds, no signs of struggle, and even the corpses fished out of the river didn't have a lot of river water in them.

A strange dead man, even Zuo couldn't explain the cause of his death, and the others were even more inexplicable.

Mo Wanqing was not only shocked, but also unbelievable. He didn't believe that old man Li was such an irresponsible person. Even if he really couldn't think about it, he would explain his future clearly instead of dying so suddenly.

The second strange thing is that he can't find wounds all over his body, and he doesn't look like he was drowned, so how did he get there?

None of these works can give an answer, and no clues can be found from him, just like old man Li just so damned, and then he died...

After the strange silence, there was endless grief, and he was used to bickering and laughing with him on weekdays, but in the end they were far apart, saying that it was fate, but he was more willing to believe that it was man-made!
