Since I met you, people are dying every day

Ye Sirui crossed his fingers and looked at her with heavy eyes. "Yes, so what?"

"Since this is the case, there is no need for the master to cover up in front of this old slave." Nanny Wang said: "One more word from this old slave, your choice may not be a bad thing."

Ye Sirui was silent, and the sadness between his brows could not be dispelled. "Mammy doesn't object when you say that?"

"Master is free now, as long as he can be happier, what's wrong with it?" Wang Momo looked kindly, "Master Xia looks fierce, but in fact he is a cold-hearted person, which perfectly complements Master."

"I know." Ye Sirui couldn't help laughing when he thought of Xia Shu repeatedly telling him to be good at the stove. "But..." He turned and said, "What about Kuang'er?"

Wang Momo also stopped laughing, and slowly said word by word: "Although the young master is young, he is the most sensitive. Even if the master keeps it from him, I am afraid he will be aware of it."

"But if I tell him, how can he understand?" The love between men is shocking.Although the aristocrats of aristocratic families have a trend of looking for male pets, they are just playthings, no different from playing with birds and horses, or looking for girls after eating flowers and wine.Ye Sirui didn't want Ye Kuang to think so.

"Master hasn't tried it, how do you know?" Wang Momo replied earnestly: "Young Master is kind-hearted, sensitive and simple, Master and Master Xia are both his respected and beloved people, presumably he will understand when he knows."

"I hope it's as Mammy said." Ye Sirui ended the topic. "I'm going back to the house, Mammy should go to bed earlier."

When he returned to the house with heavy steps, he found Xia Shu was standing at the door waiting for him.He looked up at the sound of his footsteps. "It's all here, why don't you come in?"

"You are not here, I dare not enter your room without authorization."

Ye Sirui thought it was funny, and took his hand into the room, "There's no need to avoid people."

Xia Shu hesitated a little, looking at their handshake, "This...what if someone sees it?"

"It's okay, it's so late, the servants have all gone back to the house, and Chaming is next door, probably already fast asleep."

Ye Sirui's room is arranged according to the bedroom in the county government: desk, armchair, piano table, and the Duobao Pavilion next to the wall are all kinds of decorations, even in Xia Shu's eyes, each is extremely precious.On the table were Langhao and Jingxiang ink that he was used to.Before Cha Ming went to bed, she had already lit all the braziers in the house, and now the house was so bright that she didn't even need to light the lights.Xia Shu said: "I can't tell, you can play the piano?"

"A gentleman learned the six arts when he was young, but now he has forgotten all of them." Ye Sirui followed him and set his sights on the guqin on the piano table, "If you are curious, I will tell you about it another day."

Xia Shu nodded.

Ye Sirui pulled him to sit opposite each other on the armchair, "It's too late, so I won't give you tea. Anyway, the tea is not here, and my craftsmanship depends on you."

I don't want to try either.What are you doing in my house if you don't go back to the house? "

"Are you okay at home?" Xia Shu asked.

Ye Sirui was playing with his hand on his lap, when he heard this sentence, he raised his head to look at him with a serious look, and was touched in his heart, so he said: "It's just an excuse from Mother Wang, she is asking the two of us thing."

"Did she see it?" Xia Tian was anxious, and instantly squeezed his hand tightly.Ye Sirui wanted to tease him, so he smiled and said: "She asked, and I admitted it, what should I do, now everyone will know."

Xia Shu saw that he didn't mind, and slowly relaxed his body, "If you know it, you know, you don't mind, why should I mind?"

Ye Sirui was originally joking, but after hearing what he said, he was a little moved. "Even if it's just for you, it's worth it."

"Both of my parents are dead, and my family is in decline. I don't need to carry on the family line. I have inherited the lineage, but what about you? Your parents really don't mind that you fall in love with a man and cut off your incense from now on?" Xia Shu confirmed to him again.

Ye Sirui shook his head, "It's enough to have a child, what else is needed. Besides, since when have you cared about such things as inheriting the family and inheriting the family?"

"I never care about these things, I only care about you." Xia Shu's straightforward love words made Ye Sirui's face burn for no reason. "You don't have to go back tonight, my room is warm, so just sleep here."

Xia Shu looked at his face with a smile, "It's really warm, your face is flushed."

Ye Sirui glared at him, angry and ashamed, his phoenix eyes rolled.Xia Shu blinked and took off his robe, "What nonsense is there, go to sleep."

"Sleep as long as you sleep, just one end, it's so cold, don't get up so early in the morning to practice martial arts." Ye Sirui also took off his coat. "Go out early in the morning and suffer from the cold. If things go on like this, no matter how healthy you are, you won't be able to withstand it. You also know the art of distorting yellow, why don't you understand this truth?"

Xia Shu saw that Ye Sirui's pale face was dyed red by the flames, his eyes were gentle, and his voice became hoarse for some reason: "Okay, it's all up to you."

Ye Sirui, who was shivering with the cold while sleeping with Tang Pozi in his arms for several consecutive nights, finally had a good night's sleep.

Waking up in the morning, Chaming was waiting for orders at the door. Seeing the two of them lying on the bed, she shivered with fright and couldn't straighten her tongue: "Old old man."

Ye Sirui sat up as if nothing had happened, "What time is it?"

"Master Hui, just arrived at Maoshi." Chaming lowered her head and did not dare to lift it up, she only added in a low voice: "Master Ye Fu is here, the real hall is waiting for you."

Ye Fu came early in the morning, so he must be talking about the case.He ordered Chaming: "Just wear casual clothes today."

"Yes." Chaming didn't dare to say a word, and obediently went to prepare clothes and hot water.Ye Sirui turned his head to look at Xia Shu who was lying on the bed, "I'm sorry, I've made such a fuss on New Year's Eve, I'm afraid this year will be difficult."

Xia Shu had never slept so late before, and his voice was hoarse as he just woke up: "Just solve the case before New Year's Eve."

After Ye Sirui changed his clothes and washed with hot water, he went straight to the main hall to meet Ye Fu.Ye Fu sat on the chair, sad and tired, all the joy from yesterday was gone. "Shen Tang is a native of Helin County. Both of his parents died. He grew up eating a lot of food. He barely passed the exam to be a scholar, but later failed in the township examination three times. He had no livelihood, so he made a living by writing scripts. His scriptures are all printed by Sisheng Bookstore, I have already found out where the owner of Sisheng Bookstore lives, will your lord go with me?"

Ye Sirui said: "You go, I still want to visit Shen Tang's room."

"But I... hey, I don't know what to ask him." Ye Fu shook his head, showing bitterness.

Ye Sirui was rather surprised, "You have been the county magistrate for so many years, how come you don't know how to interrogate?"

"I... hey, but after all, I have always been just a county magistrate. This kind of case is really... hey." Ye Fu wished he hadn't said a word, but he was about to sigh along with it.However, Ye Sirui grasped the point from his sporadic words, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What's wrong with you? After Mr. Cen took office for a few years, you were the one who handled the affairs of the yamen. Even when you were the county magistrate of our party, you were in charge of other things except being promoted to the court every day to handle cases, and now you are a county magistrate, and you deserve it, so why are you not confident?"

Seeing that Ye Fu was still troubled, he said less politely, "Yufeng, I've been away for a few months, and Lin County is safe and sound? What did you do in the past, what do you do now, I always want Let's go, don't you rely on me?"

Ye Fu's lips twitched a few times, but he couldn't speak.

"Yufeng, this case belongs to you, I'm just helping you. You are already the magistrate of Lin County, you have to understand what you should do." Ye Sirui took a sip of water to moisten his throat. "I asked them to prepare the meal, have you eaten yet?"

"I don't want to bother you as an official." Ye Fu said goodbye in a hurry.

When Xia Shu came out, Ye Sirui was eating a piece of snack. "Not bad, not very sweet, would you like a piece?"

"What's wrong with him?" Xia Shu let him stuff the snack into his mouth, chewed it twice and said, "It's really good."

"He has been the county magistrate for too many years, and his hands and feet are already tied. He is obviously capable, so why rely on others?" Ye Sirui lazily crossed his legs, and brought another piece of pastry to his mouth, "It is said that this case will be handled by him. It's impossible for me to ignore it completely, to fill my stomach, you can follow me to Shen Tang's house and have a look."

Xia Shu nodded, and started to eat voraciously. "You seem to be particularly concerned about the script he wrote."

"You really have good observation skills." Ye Sirui didn't explain anything.

The snow finally stopped today, Ye Sirui still only brought tea and went in a carriage.Shen Tang's house was guarded by yamen servants in front and behind, and Ye Sirui was stopped just as he got off the carriage. "What are you here for?"

Ye Sirui patted the scarf lightly and sighed.He was used to coming and going freely, and he only thought that Lin County was still his territory, and he didn't expect this encounter at all. "I'm..." He didn't come here in his official uniform today, and he probably wouldn't believe it if he said it was a Shangguan.

"My lord, why are you here?" Ma Lu's voice was rough and recognizable, and Ye Sirui laughed when he heard it, "Why are you here?"

"I'm afraid these boys will be lazy, so come and have a look." Ma Lu patted the saber on his waist, "This is the task of inspecting Jiangbei prefecture's procuratorial envoy Si Qian, a high-ranking official from Beijing to assist our county magistrate Those who handle the case, boys, get out of the way."

The yamen servant who stopped Ye Sirui hastily moved away.

"Except for the autopsy, I didn't ask them to touch anything in the house." When Xia Shu passed by, Ma Lu bowed his head and cupped his hands at him, "Mr. I'm sorry, Ma Lu is a rough person, I only know how to do things according to the rules of the yamen, please don't argue with me, Mr. Xia."

"It's nothing." Xia Shu brushed past him and said lightly.

Ye Sirui carried the dilapidated book of Luanfeng in Shen Tang's arms before he died, and immediately took it out, spread it on the table, and opened it carefully.What exactly is written in this book?Why did Shen Tang carry it with her?
