Since I met you, people are dying every day

He Ying's hand loosened at once.

Guan Yan turned around and wanted to run, he was thin and fast, He Ying chased after him without thinking and grabbed his wrist. "Ye Sirui, please speak clearly, what's going on?"

Ye Sirui didn't look at them, but kept paying attention to Ye Fu's expression.Panic?relieved?fear?Should have. "You are the younger sister of the student who died in Songhe Academy five years ago, right?" He Ying was taken aback when he mentioned this, "It was when my brother was almost kidnapped?"

Guanyan, who had been silent since he was caught, sneered when he heard his words, and said, "Your brother is completely unharmed."

"Yes, He An was unharmed." Ye Sirui sighed and looked at Guanyan with complicated eyes, "If I guessed correctly, you and your father don't know who gave the order to shoot the arrow, Marquis Anshun The guards of the mansion and the servants brought by Ye County Cheng participated, but it may also be ordered by Cen County magistrate. So you disguised yourself as a man, sold yourself to the county government, and your father went to the Hou's mansion to help and wait for the opportunity to investigate what happened that year thing."

"Brother, when did you come?" He Ying exclaimed.He An had already stood there for a while, and the guards he brought immediately surrounded several people.He Ying finally let go of Guanyan.

"It's not easy for a woman to disguise herself as a man, but it's not difficult to play the role of a child whose voice has not changed. The county government will not buy a servant like a maid, and not many people will stare at a servant. Look. In fact, it’s not a bad idea to go directly to the county government to be a maid, but I think you planned to approach the county magistrate from the beginning, but Mr. Cen is old and doesn’t need a maid by his side, so you made such a bad plan..."

"You're right." Her voice became much clearer, and it was obvious that she had been speaking under her throat.Guan Yan took off his turban, shook out his long hair like a waterfall, untied his collar, and tore off the camouflaged Adam's apple stuck to his throat.After a closer look, you will find that her facial features are indeed very delicate, and she is indeed a girl. "But I don't understand. You have never been in close contact with me. How did you find out?"

Ye Sirui didn't answer her directly. "For the first time, I suspected that Kuang'er was kidnapped. I received that note. The note was placed in my house. There are so many people in the county government. Who can easily enter and leave my house without being discovered? The note was written in Jingxiang. Ink, this kind of ink is very rare, but I just use it, just go in and out of my house, and I can grind and write notes calmly..." He looked at Guanyan's playful expression, and he didn't realize that her eyes were so agile before. . "That note was written with your left hand, wasn't it?"

Guanyan didn't speak.

"The poison quilt is placed in the incense burner, and only those who enter and leave the garden can do anything. The class leader of the Fushou class said that the people who go to order the show hold the badges and are servants of the Hou Mansion. One is a servant of the Hou Mansion, and the other is very familiar with the county. Ya, these two people still have a very close relationship, probably blood relationship, how many people like this do I know?"

"Old Qi!" The housekeeper behind He An yelled viciously.He An waved his hand back to tell him to shut up.

"Yu~feng has been in low spirits since the birthday banquet, because the three hostage-related scenes reminded me of the past. I asked him at first and he didn't tell me, but then he took the initiative to tell me something, but he hasn't said anything yet, you I just entered the house, and then I refused to talk about it anymore." Ye Sirui recalled Guanyan's words at that time, "I remember you said that the servants of each mansion can enter and leave the Marquis Mansion with tokens, and asked me if I wanted to report to the mansion. I was I still feel strange, of course you know that I have no relatives in the mansion, why do you ask? Thinking about it now, you are threatening Yu~feng, if he speaks out, he will mistreat his wife and children." He shook his head and sighed regretfully "When I was away, you had already revealed your identity to him. When you mentioned the past, you might have threatened him with his wife and children. You are a girl, why did you hit him so hard?"

Guanyan still didn't speak.

"Later I already suspected you, but one thing, Yu~feng told me that the student had no brothers, only a younger sister. Of course he might have lied to me, but you weren't there at that time, and I brought up the past and questioned him in every possible way before he opened his mouth. He had no reason to lie. I couldn’t figure it out all the time, thinking that I was wrong. Fortunately, He Ying reminded me.” He Ying probably didn’t understand why he remained silent after the conversation in the gazebo. "Yes, your disguise is very good, but it is difficult for people to conceal their instincts. I think carefully and find that every time I change clothes, you will turn around and avoid it. When I or Ye Fu are alone in the room with you, you will be embarrassed and try to avoid it. Come on, this is a girl's instinctive reaction."

Guan Yan finally spoke: "Master Ye is indeed wise."

Ever since she admitted that she was a daughter, she always spoke with a hint of sarcasm.Ye Sirui frowned: "You don't know who harmed your brother back then, or you thought everyone was at fault, so you took the opportunity to gather us together and use three plays to recall the past. But you think I'm innocent , so you kidnapped Ye Kuang and forced me not to meddle in my own business. If I was still at the banquet, you would have taken the opportunity to lure me away so that I would not be poisoned too." He stared at Guanyan with sharp eyes. "It's easy to ask Kuang'er to buy an inkstone. You just need to mention in front of him that I am worried about Anshun Hou's birthday and that the antiques in Yanyun Pavilion are very famous. It's the same way to distract Xia Shu. You should tell He Ying that I am worried about Xia Shu's livelihood. Come on." He Ying cursed secretly with her head bowed. "But you absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't have plotted against Kuang'er, tell me, he's a seven-year-old child, how did he provoke you! What did you do to him!"

Guan Yan's expression had always been calm, but now he burst out laughing, "He did nothing wrong, but who told him to be your nephew, who told you to come here to be the county magistrate?"

Ye Sirui suppressed his anger and slowed down, "What's his name? Your brother, we don't know his name yet, tell us his name."

"Qi Tianzong." Guan Yan's mocking expression and tense tone suddenly softened, "His name is Qi Tianzong."

"Master!" A few guards rushed over suddenly, the leader knelt down on one knee, and said to He Ying, "Master, Lao Qi is not in the kitchen, we have already called people to search!"

"Trash!" He Ying scolded angrily.

Ye Sirui's heart is not much better, once Lao Qi escapes...

"You're right, I want to know who killed my brother." She stared at the ground, rubbing her Geon-clad feet on the ground, drawing sand, like a little girl playing.But what she is playing with now is dozens of human lives. "My father has escaped to find your nephew. If you let me go, he will let your nephew go. You can choose to kill me and find an antidote to save these people, but your nephew will die It's up to you to choose."

Ye Sirui said: "Don't get excited, your brother, Qi Tianzong, he is a student in the school, does he want you to do such a rebellious thing? Don't you want to give him justice? I can report to the emperor to invite the righteous people for him." 'Title, you can posthumously title him and reshape the tomb, don't you want him to rest in peace in heaven?"

Seeing her silence, Ye Sirui thought she was moved, and said: "I am the county magistrate, and I keep my word. If you let us and Ye Kuang go, I can not only not pursue this matter, but I can also let you go out of the house. You prepare a dowry, choose a family with a good family, and you can give it to your father... No, give your brother an adoptive heir of the same clan, and inherit the clan for him. If you die, your father can't run away. But there is not even a person who burns paper and incense! You respect your brother so much, do you want him to be a lonely ghost?"

After saying these words, everyone was a little moved.Guan Yan lowered his head and watched his toes rubbing back and forth on the ground, and finally raised his head, his immature face showed an astonishing maturity and grief, "Magistrate Ye," she said, "you are a good official, I'm sorry You said it very well, and I know you have this ability, but I don't believe you." She shook her head with a rather regretful look, "My brother didn't provoke anyone back then, why did you officials refuse to let go? What about him? That’s right, compared with the eldest son of Marquis Anshun, his life is cheap and not worth mentioning, so he can sacrifice it at will. Magistrate Naye, your nephew’s life is probably not as noble as Marquis Anshun’s, right? You will think about it Sacrifice him?"

Ye Sirui pulled Ye Fu who was standing aside with his head bowed, pulled his black gauze hat, pressed his face to Guanyan, and told her to see his haggard expression and his sideburns mixed with Huafa. "Did you see that! He's only 30 years old! His white hair is coming out too! This is what you said without thinking! He has never felt better in the past five years!" Ye Fu turned his face away.Ye Sirui threw him aside. "There were still five people in the room at that time! There were four other than He An!" He was already extremely angry, his chest heaved and heaved, as if he wanted to vent all his anger, "The four of them are as aggressive as your brother The students of the school. The four families are as innocent as you." He calmed down, "You said he was ruthless, if it were you, what would you do? Sacrifice them mercilessly to save your brother? Then you In the eyes of those families, what is the difference with Yu~feng!"

"No, there is still a difference. Yu~feng at least reduced the number of sacrifices to the minimum."

"I don't care!" Guan Yan seemed to be irritated by his words, "So what about five people? What about fifty? All I know is that he killed my brother!" She swallowed, and looked at Ye Sirui contemptuously, "You Want to procrastinate until the guards find my father? Stop dreaming. Stop talking nonsense, you are the one who makes the choice now, not me. Make a choice quickly, whether it is these people or your nephew. You will sacrifice your nephew, Ye Zhixian, who is righteous. Save these people who have been suspicious of you and criticize you?" Her eyes were full of malice.

All eyes were on Ye Sirui.Eyes are meaningless, but Ye Sirui feels the weight on his shoulders.How should he choose?Brother, tell him, how should he choose?

He remembered the time when he taught Ye Kuang to read with a pen, and he remembered swearing in front of his brother's grave.Scenes of the past appeared in front of my eyes.

He said slowly: "I choose..."
