Since I met you, people are dying every day

He then gave the address of Dong Zhang who was killed in the north of the city, and said: "The two of you take turns to change shifts, day and night, and keep an eye on his every move. If outsiders come into contact with him, or if he goes to someone, stay alone. , the other person immediately came to the county office to reply to my message."

Master Lu's hints are obvious enough, there must be someone in the yamen colluding with criminals, he still can't make up his mind who it is, but if the always lazy county magistrate suddenly goes to investigate the murder case in person, he won't do anything Faithful.

Ye Sirui quietly walked to the hall of classics and history again, and saw that the master of history and history was sound asleep, pretending to be angry, and ordered the yamen guard at the door to keep a close eye on him.It was so easy to breathe a sigh of relief, and it was necessary to go back to the backyard to see Ye Kuang.

Ye Sirui stopped the maid at the door from saluting, and quietly opened the curtain and entered the room.

It is rare that no one is watching, but Ye Kuang is practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke.

"Kuang'er?" Ye Sirui said.

"Uncle Rui is back?" Ye Kuang stood up and saluted in surprise, "I met Uncle Rui."

Ye Sirui pulled him over and hugged him, reached out and rubbed his head, but Ye Kuang wriggled in his arms and said embarrassedly, "Uncle Rui, don't do this."

Ye Sirui left him, asked him about his basic necessities for the past two days, and then praised the maids inside and outside the house, and finally rejected the servants, ordered them to go to the account to receive the reward, and dragged Ye Kuangdao : "Last time you said you went to Peach Blossom Spring, tell me what you saw along the way again."

Ye Kuang said it again, and it was almost the same as the last time.

Ye Sirui asked: "How do you know that you are going to Peach Blossom Spring?"

"It's exactly the same as in the article you mentioned, Uncle Rui." Ye Kuang replied.

"When did you know that you went to Taohuayuan?" Ye Sirui had to ask in another way.

"I knew it from the beginning." Ye Kuang said happily, "I saw the cave and guessed it in my heart. I went into the cave and walked out. There was a bright light. I saw someone and asked them where it was. They all say it’s a paradise of peach blossoms.”

"Then you said that you went to visit other people's homes and slept in their homes. What does the house they live in look like?"

"It's the same as other people's houses outside."

Ye Sirui savored his words carefully, his face became serious.

"What's wrong, Uncle Rui?" Ye Kuang stopped and asked him when he sensed something was wrong.

Ye Sirui patted his head, "Uncle Rui has something to do, eat well."

Ye Sirui's dinner was served in the front office.As soon as I finished eating, I heard someone tell me that a catcher came back quickly.

The catcher saluted quickly, and said hesitantly: "I didn't find it in the city...there are not any big ones." He glanced at Ye Sirui's expression, and said quickly: "I asked, and there should be no one in Dong'an City." .”

Ye Sirui nodded and let him go down.

What's wrong...what the hell is he missing...

Ye Sirui wandered around the house.

Something flashed through my mind.It was Xia Shu's words: "I killed him because he raped a young child... He pleaded guilty, but I didn't find a victimized woman in his home..."

Among the recently lost children are also boys.

Ye Sirui stopped abruptly.

This time, he really punched the table angrily, knocking over the teacup on the table.

"My lord!" Hearing the sound, the servants outside the door entered and knelt down one after another.

"I'm fine, let's go down." Ye Sirui calmed down a little, but there was still obvious anger between his brows.

Just asshole!

But what can he do, to startle the snake?

He was walking absent-mindedly, when there was a voice at the door: "I have something to ask sir."

"...What's the matter? You kid still dressed like this? Your lord is getting angry, so don't look for trouble, kid."

He recognized Zhang Daniu's voice, and quickly said, "Come in, come in quickly!"

Zhang Daniu had already changed into the clothes of the government servant.He was about to salute, but Ye Sirui helped him up. "Any movement?" He asked softly.

Zhang Daniu nodded, with a determined face: "He went to Bafang Inn."

Ye Sirui said: "He doesn't live there?"

"The Bafang Inn is not in the north of the city. He changed his clothes and went to ask for a room to stay. It was Maverick who saw it. He was looking for someone, so he lived next door."

Ye Sirui's eyes lit up. "Go back quickly. One of you will keep an eye on him, and the other will follow the person he is looking for." He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Forget it, let's follow the person he is looking for, don't worry about it." him."

"Your Excellency is hesitating how to get in touch?" Zhang Daniu said, "Young Niu said before he came that he has two pigeons. If you don't mind, we can follow each other one by one and use pigeons to report the news."

Ye Sirui said pleasantly: "Then you go back quickly, don't let them go."

The sky was getting dark, but Ye Sirui couldn't let go, he thought about it, he couldn't go away, and wished he could use his three heads and six arms for a while.He pondered for a while, then walked towards the cell in the southwest corner.

"I've seen adults."

Ye Sirui nodded and dismissed the ceremony, "Did you detain the criminal yesterday?"

"Yes, dozens of people have been imprisoned!"

Ye Sirui knew that Dong Xiang's subordinates had been taken into custody as soon as he heard it, and he frowned slightly, "Bring a well-behaved one, and I will interrogate him."

The interrogation at night was somewhat inexplicable, but the yamen servant didn't dare to say no to the county magistrate, so he went down immediately to make arrangements.

Ye Sirui looked at the kneeling people in the hall, wearing coarse prison clothes, leaning over, obviously injured.He cleared his throat, "I don't think you look like a murderer. If you can answer my questions one by one, I will be wronged."

The prisoner said in a hoarse voice, "Master Xie, this slave doesn't ask for anything else. I'm lucky to be able to get out of this cell. Ask, sir."

Ye Sirui asked slowly and clearly: "Is Dong Xiang a good Longyang?"

The prisoner seemed to be stunned.

Seeing this, Ye Sirui said again: "Child molestation?"

The prisoner's whole body shook like a sieve, and then he nodded.

The guards guarding the cell were all amazed at the speed with which the magistrate brought up the prisoner for interrogation. Ye Sirui ordered someone to take that person down, and told the guards to bring him up after saying a few names.

In the adjacent cells, the detainees looked at each other in silence after hearing these names, exchanging a complex look of fear, disgust and surprise.

Ye Sirui looked at the three people in the hall, the fair faces under the stains and scars were very immature.After a long silence, Ye Sirui looked at the piece of paper he had written and called out three names.

The three of them suddenly kowtowed desperately, "I beg you to make the decision!" The voice was still the same child's voice.

Tossed and turned overnight.

Early in the morning, the yamen servants reported that the besieged policemen reported as soon as they entered the house: "Mr. Xia said that he has found a clue. Please go and find out at a glance."

Ye Sirui was surprised by Xia Shu's speed, "You have worked hard this time, and I will reward you after understanding the case. Let's go to the dormitory to rest."

Thank you again and again.

Ye Sirui was not in a hurry to leave, he was still waiting, waiting for news from the Zhang family brothers.

Before dinner, the first pigeon arrived, it belonged to Zhang Daniu, and it was only said that Zhou Xiancheng had returned to his original residence.Ye Sirui crumpled the note and threw it aside.

There was no promotion today, so he did almost nothing all morning, just sat by the window and meditated.On the case in front of him were only a few files and the piece of paper he had written.

It just so happened that no one came to report to the officials all morning, and the huge county government was surprisingly quiet.

Near noon, the second pigeon arrives.

Ye Sirui untied the note, read the ten lines at a glance, closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cold and frightening. "Come on!"

"My lord!" Master Lu did not know when to appear, bowed his body and bowed, "I have something to report to the lower officials. The county magistrate Zhou Sheng colluded..."

"I already know." Ye Sirui interrupted him, "Master, please go back."

Master Lu was about to speak, when Ye Sirui said again: "Well, you can go for me." After speaking, he took out a ticket from his sleeve and threw it to him.

The shopkeeper of Bafang Inn felt that he was very unlucky.

When I just settled the accounts, I was still complacent. There were many guests staying in the hotel yesterday. In a blink of an eye, there was a lot of noise, and they were surrounded by government officials. Get under the table.He had no choice but to go up and talk: "Oh, sir, we are a serious business inn, you are..."

"The magistrate handles the case, stop talking nonsense!" Someone said viciously.

The shopkeeper fell to his knees with a plop: "The younger ones will see the magistrate."

Sure enough, a man in a cross-collar gown with patches came out from the crowd and said, "Excuse me." He didn't even look at him, and issued an order to the yamen servants: "Tianzi No. [-] and Ren All the customers of No. and Tongpu will be arrested and brought back together.”

"Yes!" The yamen servants rushed upstairs aggressively, and the shopkeeper collapsed on the ground, wanting to cry without tears.

When Ye Sirui commanded the yamen servants to put the arrested people in the Bafang Inn into prison, Master Lu had just escorted Zhou Sheng back to the county yamen.

Ye Sirui got off the carriage, and hugged a girl in the carriage to the ground. "Don't be afraid, your parents will be back in a while, first rest at my house for a while, and my nephew will accompany you."

Ye Sirui turned his gaze to the yamen servant at the side, "Take it to the inner yamen carefully, and let the young master accompany her." The yamen servant took the order to go, and Jinniang was led away by him, and she looked back at him timidly as she walked.

Ye Sirui ordered the yamen guard who guarded the cell to be fast and ordered them to bring out a few horses.

"Master, I'll leave it to you as soon as the business is done." Ye Sirui said.

"The next official will do his best." Master Lu replied in a deep voice.

Ye Sirui nodded, got on his horse, took a few police officers, and left in the dust.

When Xia Xia first saw Ye Sirui, he didn't salute or say hello, but said to himself, "Come with me."

Ye Sirui really got off his horse and followed behind him.
