Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Lying on the rocking chair with the morning breeze blowing, he rocked the rocking chair creakingly, listening to the slight snoring from his parents in the room, and the occasional murmurs of his younger sister in dreams, Guo Ye thought, luckily his parents and younger sister are both Nothing happened.

For some reason, Guo Ye thought of Wu Xiuxiu who never pretended to him for no reason at this time.

If my small courtyard was bigger, Wu Xiuxiu could also live with him. The male hosts the outside and the female hosts the inside. During the day, the husband sings and the wife follows, and at night, the red sleeves add fragrance.

Originally, I was like a duck to water in the soap class, and I was somewhat famous in the county, and the business of the Zihua Museum was booming, and it seemed that I really didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.

When the time comes, buy a bigger yard, take good care of your parents and younger sister, and then improve your relationship with Wu Xiuxiu. How beautiful and desirable is this kind of life?

Unfortunately, in just one night, everything changed.

Baiji pharmacy arson case,

Daze village massacre,

Two cases happened one after another, so many people died, and the two cases seemed to have nothing to do with him, but his shadow was involved in them.

Moreover, the only clue to the two cases was completely cut off because of the death of Old Ninth Uncle.

What did Old Ninth Uncle see in the mountains?

Where did these bandits come from?

Who is the suspect hiding in the county arsonist?

Old Ninth Uncle's death was too sudden, and when everything seemed to be revealed, it was covered with a majestic fog, and everything became unclear.

Guo Ye kept repeating the words that Old Ninth Uncle left for his father: "The little one didn't see anything, so please forgive me."

What the hell is that grandpa?

But one thing is certain, the so-called Lord that Old Ninth Uncle said must have a certain status in the county, otherwise Old Ninth Uncle would not respectfully call him Lord, and Old Ninth Uncle would not know him.

Then who is this grandpa?

Guo Ye guessed in his heart, and fell asleep in a daze. He didn't even know that the fallen leaves of the old locust tree in the courtyard floated on his face, and he fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

At noon, the massacre of Daze village and the arson case of Baiji medicine shop spread in the county town one after another, and the whole county was in an uproar.

No matter the streets and alleys, or the teahouses and wine shops, there was a lot of discussion. What's more, they heard that bandits committed crimes in the tragedy, and everyone was in danger.

Even Gu Weiyong, the county magistrate who has always kept a low profile and rarely showed his face, couldn't sit still.

The two cases were concurrent, and it was still such an important case, involving more than [-] lives, if one was not handled well, Gu Weiyong's black yarn would not protect him.

You must know that it is now the third year of Zhenguan, Haiyan Qingping, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and a major case involving more than [-] lives is almost unheard of.

Gu Weiyong, the county magistrate, did not dare to be sloppy, changed his usual low-key style, and hurriedly summoned the county magistrate Wu Kui, Liu Caozuo officials, and the county magistrate Gu Dezhao to return to the yamen to discuss matters.

After some deliberations, Gu Weiyong ordered the six Cao Zuo officials to immediately arrange for manpower to post notices in various eye-catching places in the city to reassure the people, and there must be no public riots in Longxi County.

Secondly, Gu Weiyong gave the county lieutenant Gu Dezhao a death order, requiring him to solve the case within a one-month time limit, otherwise, starting from his county lieutenant, to the third class of yamen servants and the soldiers of the strong class, all dismissed and investigated.

In other words, my county magistrate is not having a good life, and you subordinates who are not doing things well, don't even think about having a good life.

Afterwards, Gu Weiyong dismissed everyone, leaving only his aide and teacher, and Wu Kui, the second son of the county government, to continue the conversation.

After the county magistrate Gu Dezhao left the official office of the county magistrate, he also returned to his official office in the left side courtyard of the county government. The chief dispatched along with Qian Gui to summon Pang Feihu, the leader of the third class of government officials, Qin Wei and others rushed to discuss the matter .

Since the county magistrate has issued a death order, he will carry out this death order.

After Pang Feihu, Qin Wei and others came together, Gu Dezhao didn't talk nonsense, and gave the order to kill the third shift leader, and solved the case within half a month, otherwise everyone would pack up and leave.

The county magistrate gave him a one-month deadline, and he gave the people below a half-month deadline. This is his way of controlling his subordinates, always leaving a buffer for himself.

Regardless of whether it is the soap shift or the station shift, from today onwards all work will be stopped, and they will go out to investigate the clues of the two cases. Moreover, Gu Dezhao sternly warned Qin Wei that if he dares to fight at this juncture, he must be careful of his arrest. head position.

It seems that Gu Dezhao also got really angry this time.

……

……

After the three team leaders left Gu Dezhao's official office, none of them said a word, and they all went back to the big room where the yamen servants of each team rested to prepare to call their subordinates.

The first thing Pang Feihu did when he returned to the main room of the soap class was to send someone to Yau Ma Hutong to invite Guo Ye back to discuss business matters.

In the entire soap class, this kid was the only one with a quick mind, and he couldn't count on the others.

After a while, after receiving Pang Feihu's notice, Guo Ye asked his parents to rest at home and not to go out, then left the house and hurried to the Yamen to see Pang Feihu.

Guo Ye walked through the streets and alleys, and when he passed by Zhenniang Douhua Shop, he suddenly saw Zhenniang squatting in front of the shop and crying, thinking, what's wrong?

Although he wanted to ask in the past, but because Pang Feihu was in a hurry, he didn't have time to pay attention to it.

I was walking, but before I reached the gate of the county government office, suddenly there was a small hand behind me, pulling at my skirt, who is it?

Guo Ye turned around and saw a half-grown child with a candy figurine in his mouth. He opened his eyes and asked, "Are you Guo Ye? Are you an official in the yamen, Brother Guo?"

Uh?

Guo Ye couldn't help laughing. Could it be that my brother's reputation is already well-known in the entire Longxi County now that even such a brat knows about it?

Immediately, he nodded noncommittally, and then patted the child's head. He had no time to waste time with the child, and turned around to leave.

But the child just grabbed his skirt tightly, refusing to let go, then took out a piece of letter paper from his crotch, handed it to him, and said, "Here, an uncle bought me a candy figurine just now. I gave it to you."

After speaking, he bit the candy man and turned around and ran away.

Guo Ye watched the child take out the letter paper from his crotch, but he didn't think it was funny. It's not good to hide it, it must be hidden somewhere, this unlucky boy.

But when he slowly opened the letter, he was dumbfounded and stood in the middle of the street in a daze, at a loss.

I saw the words on the letterhead: "I know who set fire to the Baiji Pharmacy. If you want to know the murderer, after the first watch tomorrow night... see you there!"

Seeing the name of the signer, Guo Ye's throat was choked hard, and he almost suffocated.

Signer? ? ?

Guo Ye wiped his eyes, for fear that he might make a mistake...

It was him! ! !

How can it be?How could it be him?
