Chapter 366: The Governor is Unwell
The weather is great today, with bright sunshine.
Yi Qianhuan was dressed in a red suit and riding on the back of a black horse. He galloped forward without stopping, raising a cloud of dust wherever he passed.
Heading forward into the outskirts of the city, Yi Qianhuan rode his horse for a long time before hearing voices calling from behind.
"Mom, please wait for us!" Yi Mobao and Shen Yubao rode their ponies to catch up, looking at Yi Qianhuan breathlessly, "Mom, you are running too fast!"
"I don't think I'm that fast. On the contrary, why are you guys walking so slowly today?" Yi Qianhuan saw the carriage that Ji Chilian was riding in slowly approaching on the road in the distance, and clicked his tongue.
She pulled the reins of the horse, and as the horse turned its head, she rode quickly to Ji Chilian's carriage: "Du Gong, you can ride a horse, why do you still need to ride a carriage? Yesterday we wereted a whole night, we should rush to Qili Village to investigate as soon as possible."
The carriage was shaking, and through the curtains, Ji Chilian did not give Yi Qianhuan any response.
Yi Qianhuan looked puzzled and reached out to open the curtains.
In the shaking carriage, Ji Chilian leaned against the soft couch, propped up his chin with his hands, and dozed off.
When Yi Qianhuan opened the curtains, the sunlight from the sky fell into the carriage and shone into Ji Chilian's eyes.
The matte black eyelashes cast a shadow on the fair face, and Ji Chilian's lips looked pale.
"lay down."
Ji Chilian didn't even open his eyes as he spoke word by word.
Feeling the low pressure released from Ji Chilian's body, Yi Qianhuan didn't know what was going on.
What she could tell was that the man hadn't gotten enough rest and he was still very weak.
However, Ji Chilian's face did look bad, and she was not such a harsh person, so she lowered the curtains.
Ji Chilian picked up a bowl of bitter tonic, drank it all, then picked up the candied fruit on the table and put it in his mouth.
The bitter and sweet tastes collided with each other but were difficult to blend, which directly resulted in two extreme tastes exploding directly in Ji Chilian's mouth.
His temples were throbbing wildly, and Ji Chilian managed to suppress the uncomfortable feeling with great difficulty.
At this time, the voices of Yi Qianhuan and the two buns came from outside the carriage. ?
Shen Yubao: "Dad, why hasn't you gotten off the bike yet? I've brought your favorite bike, the Cloud Chaser. As long as Dad gets on the Cloud Chaser, we can get to Qili Village in less than half an hour."
Yi Qianhuan hissed, "Keep your voice down. The governor is feeling unwell and is resting."
Yi Mobao's voice was full of surprise: "Wasn't he fine yesterday?"
"I think he may not have gotten enough rest last night. He looks a little weak..."
"Weak? Does Daddy have kidney deficiency?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. This is such a shameful thing. Let's at least give the Governor some face." Yi Qianhuan lowered his voice.
Yi Mobao smiled and said, "Master Du is a eunuch, not a real man. No wonder he has kidney deficiency. It's human nature. When we get to Qili Village, I'll go find some kidney-tonifying medicine nearby and give it to Master Du to take."
Shen Yubao admired him: "Wow, Brother Mo, you are so nice!"
Ji Chilian heard the sound coming from outside the carriage and suddenly felt his head hurt even more.
After about an hour, the carriage finally arrived at Qili Village.
Getting off the horse, Yi Qianhuan looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him with surprise.
After many years, the burned village was covered with large vines and green plants on the broken walls, covering the entire Qili Village with green.
Green grass grew everywhere, and trees and bushes of all sizes covered the streets of Qili Village. Some of the broad treetops even blocked out the sky. The fragmented sunlight fell through the leaves and turned into spots of light scattered on the ground.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful!" Shen Yubao exclaimed after getting off the car, "Could such a beautiful place be haunted?"
"Ghosts were all human beings in their previous lives. They also have a love of beauty. Maybe they would like to live in such beautiful dilapidated villages." Yi Mobao said seriously.
When Shen Yubao heard this, his original curiosity disappeared completely and he held Yi Mobao's arm tightly.
"Greetings to the Governor, greetings to the national god, and greetings to the two young masters." At this time, Lin Tong walked through layers of bushes and came out of Qili Village.
"Yesterday I asked Lin Tong and others to come and investigate first." Ji Chilian said.
Yi Qianhuan was not aware of this matter beforehand.
No wonder Ji Chilian was not in a hurry along the way.
However, Ji Chilian always did everything himself in the past. Before she fell asleep yesterday, she thought Ji Chilian would come to Qilizhuang to investigate first.
Unexpectedly, when she woke up today, Ji Chilian was still in the National God's Palace.
It’s strange. Since Ji Chilian didn’t go out to investigate yesterday, why is he so tired today?
Without waiting for Yi Qianhuan to figure it out, Ji Chilian asked, "Have you found out anything?"
Lin Tong was a little discouraged when he heard this and shook his head: "Your Excellency, we haven't found anything so far. Qili Village was burned down by a fire seven years ago. Apart from some villagers and the charred remains of houses, we really haven't found anything."
"Have you looked for the villagers who used to live in Qili Village? When the fire broke out suddenly, didn't some villagers escape by chance?" Yi Qianhuan asked.
"We did find two families who used to live in Qili Village, but they refused to cooperate with the investigation." Lin Tong looked embarrassed. "These villagers are not short of money. Normally, as long as we give them more silver, they will rush to tell us the truth. I don't know why these villagers are not interested in the silver."
"Silver is certainly a good thing. However, no matter how good the silver is, you have to have a life to spend it. I think for those villagers, things about Qili Village are more important than this silver." Ji Chilian said.
"In that case, I have an idea that may make those villagers speak up." Yi Qianhuan moved closer to Ji Chilian.
Yi Mobao and Shen Yubao also came over with curious looks on their faces.
Ji Chilian watched Yi Qianhuan gradually approaching and could clearly smell the elegant fragrance emanating from Yi Qianhuan.
His arm, which had been held by Yi Qianhuan all night yesterday, could not help but move.
The familiar fragrance awakened Ji Chilian's memory, allowing him to almost feel the warmth and touch lingering on his arm.
"Ahem." Ji Chilian took a step back and distanced himself from Yi Qianhuan. "There are no outsiders here. Just say what you want to say. There is no need to worry about being overheard."
Yi Qianhuan didn't think much about it. She responded and said, "Since these villagers are afraid of what happened in Qili Village, then we should start with what they are afraid of. Lin Tong, bring those villagers here. If they don't want to come, just tell them that I'm here and I can solve their problem for free."
