Zhao Yaozu didn't seem convinced by this arrangement, but he still obeyed.

Uncle Zhao tremblingly wanted to salute Ye Sirui, but he looked much older than when he met the day before yesterday.Ye Sirui hurried up to hold him down. "My father-in-law, please sit down. Don't pay attention to these empty etiquettes. If you have something to say, please speak."

Uncle Zhao raised his head, fixed his cloudy eyes on Ye Sirui, and asked tremblingly for a while, "My lord, has Tian Ze been harmed?"

Ye Sirui was surprised, but didn't show anything on his face. "It's hard for me to say. After all, you didn't report to the official, and the autopsy has never been done by Wu Zuo."

Uncle Zhao trembled even more, "It's all...it's all her fault!"

"Who?" Ye Sirui asked immediately.

Uncle Zhao tightly gripped the head of the cane with his trembling hands, but he didn't answer Ye Sirui's words.

"Who do you think killed your grandson?" Ye Sirui asked again.

Uncle Zhao looked at his hand as if he had come to his senses, and said slowly, "Caomin doesn't know either, but Tianze is so cute, who would have the heart to harm him? When people die, the lights go out, and they go to the ground for peace. Please, my lord. "

Ye Sirui knew that this meant seeing off guests, so he got up and said goodbye.Walking through the quiet small courtyard, he casually looked at the carefully cut potted plants and wondered what the Mrs. Zhao, who had never met before, looked like.

Ye Sirui went back to the county government office, and immediately went to look through the files.The files from a few years ago, the paper is extremely brittle and has turned yellow, and it is dusty when turned over.He managed to find the original text, and the handwriting is still very clear. There are only a few records in which Juren Zhou Xing died of drowning on a certain day.The attached autopsy record is also very clear that he died by drowning.

He was full of thoughts at the moment.After another delay, thinking of Ye Kuang, he hurriedly jumped up and went back to the backyard.

Ye Kuang didn't wake up, his originally pale face turned blue, and his lips were black.I also asked the doctor to come and see, but the doctor just shook his head and refused to even prescribe the prescription. "Get ready for the funeral."

Ye Sirui's face remained normal, he paid the consultation fee and sent the doctor out, and sent a servant to refill the medicine.The servants looked at each other and did not dare to make a sound, Wang Momo asked him with tears in her eyes, "Should you change the young master's clothes?"

"Kuang'er is sweating so much, of course I need to change into an undershirt." Ye Sirui nodded, "Go and invite the doctor from the medical clinic in the west of the city." After he finished his order, seeing that everyone was still looking gloomy, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Kuang'er will be fine."

His tone was firm, and the majesty in his eyes was full of oppression.

After the servants dispersed respectfully, Ye Sirui's eyes became a little bit sad, and he looked at Ye Kuang without saying a word.

"Please." He said suddenly, his voice weak like him. "Please save Kuang'er," he said.

In the room filled with medicinal fragrance, only his voice was heard.

Ye Sirui sat beside Ye Kuang's bed and looked at his face in a daze.The relationship between Zhao Tianze's death and Zhou Xing is subtle, and Zhou Xing was indeed drowned, so Zhao Tianze should be too... Zhao Tianze went to visit a nearby family before his death, and the family sent a greeting card, but the greeting card has disappeared...

People nearby...

Greetings...

Ye Sirui stood up suddenly, walked to the door and lifted the curtain before remembering, turned to look at Wang Momo, "Take care of Kuang'er, and call the servant to inform me immediately if there is any situation."

Mother Wang still answered with tears in her eyes.

Ye Sirui returned to the lake, trying to recall the location where he just met the old woman, wandering around.When he met a passer-by, he quickly cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask where Zhou Hui's family is?"

"Here, go straight and you will be there." Passers-by pointed to a small courtyard nearby, Ye Sirui turned around and estimated the distance from the courtyard to the lake, and squinted his eyes.

"Is it Zhou Hui's house?" Ye Sirui knocked on the door.

"My lord?" Zhou Hui opened the door and saluted in surprise, "Why are you here, my lord?"

"I'm taking the liberty to visit, I really have something to ask for advice." Ye Sirui said politely, but directly stepped through the door.Zhou Hui was still surprised, and still politely invited him in. "Mother, County Magistrate Ye is here." He called to the back room.

The old woman he had seen before came out with steady steps and made a big gift. "The women have met the county magistrate, and thank the magistrate for supporting my son."

Ye Sirui smiled with the corners of his mouth twitched, his phoenix eyes slightly raised, and helped her up, "I don't dare to be. Get up, old man."

Zhou's mother got up and bowed again, "The grandson is sick in bed and cannot salute to the adults. The women will plead guilty on his behalf."

Ye Sirui had no choice but to help her up again, "My nephew is sick, I should visit him."

Zhou Hui frowned slightly, "I'm afraid I offended my lord." Seeing Ye Sirui smiling but not saying a word, he led him in.

Sure enough, someone was lying on the couch in the back room.Zhou Xing's posthumous son, counting the age, is about 12 years old.But this man was lying down in clean clothes, and he was wracking his fingers and didn't know what he was doing. He was grinning, and the saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the quilt, and a large piece of his clean back was already wet.

Ye Sirui sighed in his heart, Zhou Xing was talented and intelligent, but his posthumous son was mentally incompetent, life was difficult to manage, and he wondered if he could rest in peace if he had a soul in heaven.

Zhou Hui looked at it with disgust, while Zhou's mother stepped forward and skillfully took out the handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth and fingers. "It made adults laugh."

"Where, you have worked so hard for so many years." Ye Sirui said sincerely.

Zhou Hui took over the words, "My lord, I heard that Master Kuang is ill, and the students are about to go to the house to express their condolences. How is Master Kuang?"

"It's not good." Ye Sirui shook his head, "I'm still sleepy."

"Young master Kuang is blessed by God, please rest assured." Zhou Hui said immediately, and Zhou's mother glanced at him.

Ye Sirui noticed the strange atmosphere between the two of them, suppressed the worries in his heart and smiled, "I came here this time to ask about Zhou Xing." As soon as the words fell, Zhou Hui's face changed when Zhou's mother was fine. "What do you mean, my lord?"

Ye Sirui smiled apologetically, "I don't intend to offend, I just want to know something."

Zhou's mother opened her mouth calmly: "What do you want to ask?"

"Did Zhou Xing die from accidental drowning?" Ye Sirui asked bluntly.

Zhou Hui's complexion became even uglier, and Zhou's mother's eyes were a little unpredictable, "Xing'er's own crimes have nothing to do with others. It's his fate, and his talents and virtues cannot be perfect."

Zhou Hui couldn't help but uttered: "Mother! Don't ruin your brother's reputation!"

Ye Sirui's heart turned a thousand times, but she still didn't quite understand what Zhou's mother wanted to express. "Zhou Hui, step back first, and I will have a private conversation with your mother."

Zhou Hui retreated outside the house reluctantly.Ye Sirui glanced at the closed door, and regretted not bringing Xia Shu. "What do you mean by what you said just now? What crime did Zhou Xing do? And why is he so incompetent?"

A look of sadness finally appeared on Mother Zhou's face. "Xing'er is good in everything, but... since he has promised him for life, how can he marry someone else!"

Ye Sirui's heart was filled with turmoil. "Who did he promise for life?"

Mother Zhou didn't answer.

Ye Sirui thought for a while, then changed the question, "Do you know about Zhao Erniu's drowning?"

Zhou's mother smiled strangely, "Of course I know, the Zhao family's children are very smart, and they can recite books at a young age."

"Have you seen him? Has he been to your house?"

"Of course I've been here, and I've even memorized the book." Zhou's mother answered fluently.

"Then do you know how he drowned?" Ye Sirui stared closely at Zhou's mother's eyes, a pair of dim and cloudy eyes.

"Of course I know." Mother Zhou answered happily.

"Enough!" Zhou Hui pushed the door open, his face was full of anger, his expression twisted, as if he tried to control but failed. "Jia Ci is getting old, and she talks nonsense from time to time, please forgive me."

Sure enough, he was eavesdropping.Ye Sirui looked at him, his eyes brightened, and he said word by word: "Zhou Fengzhi, do you know what crime you should be guilty of for disturbing my investigation?"

Zhou Hui shuddered abruptly when he met his gaze.

Ye Sirui ignored him, and continued to ask Mother Zhou: "How did Zhao Tianze drown?"

"Of course the women drugged him and pushed him into the water." Zhou's mother didn't look at Zhou Hui, and smiled again.

Zhou Hui's face was ashen.

Ren Ye Sirui was horrified, but still smiled calmly on his face: "Then I have to ask my aunt to go to the county government office with me."

Mother Zhou almost readily agreed.When passing by Zhou Hui, Ye Sirui said lightly: "Do you know what is the meaning of the word 'bending the law for personal gain'?"

Ye Sirui, who thought he was just coming out to inquire about the situation and didn't bring any entourage, was a little confused, so he had to ask Mother Zhou to walk beside her and keep an eye on her.But I didn't want Zhou's mother to follow him back to the county government without any resistance.

Ye Sirui gave detailed instructions to take her to the cell of No. XX female prison, and personally supervised her being taken, and then turned back to the backyard to see Ye Kuang.

The mothers and maidservants in the room were weeping, and when they saw him, they hurriedly wiped away the tears.Ye Kuang just hangs his breath on the ginseng soup.Ye Sirui touched his head, and then held his hand that was rapidly thinning.He can't even talk nonsense now.

Child hour just passed.

The man in black flashed into the cell, tiptoed towards the sleeping man on the thatch, reached for his throat with one hand, and was about to pinch it, suddenly felt something wrong.

"By the way, I've never seen you dressed like this before." A familiar voice came from the darkness beside.The man exerted a lot of force with his hand, but it slipped strangely.

Ye Sirui clapped his hands, the oil lamp was lit, and a dozen jailers who had just changed shifts, drank and slept, surrounded them.Zhou Hui, who was dressed in black, watched the man in prison clothes easily break free from his control, and stood behind Ye Sirui, knowing that it was a trap, so he stood still and remained silent.

"Murdering parents is not something that scholars do." Ye Sirui said with a smile behind his hands.

Zhou Hui still didn't speak.

"Are you afraid that your mother will tell me that the person your brother promised his life is Zhao Tianze's mother, or are you afraid that she will tell me that you are the one who killed your brother?" Ye Sirui was still smiling, but it made people feel cold.
