Since I met you, people are dying every day

"Master!" Chaming ran over three steps at a time and knelt crookedly, "Marquis Anshun is visiting, waiting for you in the third hall!"

Ye Sirui put down the pen in his hand, "Kuang'er, you can play by yourself first." It was rare to catch up with the holidays of the academy and the government, and Ye Sirui was practicing calligraphy with Ye Kuang.

"Is he visiting alone?" He asked while walking out with Chaming.

Chaming scratched her head, her eyes dodged, "I don't know if it's... small." He added guiltily: "It was the door that told me, I didn't see it with my own eyes."

Ye Sirui walked in front, and moved his stiff cervical spine, "Then next time you meet the door to inform you about something, just ask a few more questions." Chaming is the personal servant he recently picked, and he has nothing to say.But this kid is far worse than the ability to observe words and expressions, Ye Sirui had to mention him a few words from time to time.

Thinking of Guanyan, he felt regret again.He already knew Guanyan's real name, but he was used to calling her by that.Such a smart girl, what a pity.

The third hall was originally the county magistrate's place to receive guests and conduct daily work, so the door directly led Marquis Anshun here, and someone notified Ye Sirui when he entered the door.Chaming stayed outside the door, and he bowed and bowed when he entered, "I have seen Lord Hou."

"Ziqi, get up!" Marquis Anshun He Quan did not sit in the main seat, but stood in the hall waiting for him.Hearing him call his name with a smile, he was obviously in a good mood.But he moved swiftly, his face was red, and he couldn't tell that he was poisoned not long ago and was in a coma.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." He was very polite.In the last case, although he saved the people of Anshunhou's half-fu, he also offended Anshunhou's eldest son, He An. When He An was born, his father was not a marquis, but after he was named a marquis, he didn't change his name because of taboo, which is enough to show his love.Coupled with the fact that one of the murderers was his servant, Ye Sirui felt that he had better be careful.

Marquis Anshun turned his attention to guests and warmly invited him to sit in the main seat together: "Ziqi, come and sit, you don't have to be so formal." Ye Sirui begged for mercy and moved down a seat.Lord Hou smiled and scolded him: "You child...really." Ye Sirui was a little creepy when he heard that he called the child enthusiastically. Although Marquis Anshun was kind in the past, he was so approachable...it was a bit scary.

"I haven't appreciated your life-saving grace yet." He Quan said enthusiastically.

Ye Sirui's scalp was numb, and goosebumps arose when he touched his arms with his hands in his sleeves, so he could only reply carefully: "Your Majesty is too much of a prize. It is the duty of lower officials to investigate cases and save people. I can't afford to be grateful to you, Lord Marquis." .”

"Hey, you really did a good job in this case. I personally signed up to report to His Majesty. Your Majesty is very happy, and there will be rewards soon!"

Regardless of Ye Sirui's real thoughts, at this moment he had to stand up immediately and salute, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your support." Marquis Anshun stood up himself, pressed down his clasped hands, and pushed him back to his seat. "It's not just me. Your Zhizhou adults are also very satisfied with you, and wrote a letter to agree."

"Master Tang?" This was really a surprise.When Tang Lianggong inspected Helin County, he scolded him a lot. "Why would Mr. Tang ask for credit for me?" He investigated the case and found out that Tang Lianggong's nephew planned to kill his own son, and the motive was that his son wanted to kill his nephew.Tang Lianggong is not bad if he didn't work hard with him, so why don't you ask for credit?

"Lao Tang is a bit old-fashioned, but he is still reliable in his work." Anshunhou knocked on the armrest of the chair, and his servants stepped forward: "What do you want to do?" Anshunhou said dissatisfiedly: "Tell them to come down." Doesn’t the servant of the county government even wink when someone serves tea? The county magistrate has been sitting here for a long time and doesn’t know how to serve tea?”

When Ye Sirui saw the tea placed in front of Marquis Anshun, he knew that the servants of the county government had already retreated.He didn't want to drink tea, he just wanted to find out the origin of Marquis Anshun.But He Quan seemed to have a lot to say, so he could only wait patiently.Cha Ming came up to serve tea in person, and changed the tea for Marquis Anshun.Ye Sirui picked up the tea bowl to appreciate the clear tea soup, took a deep breath, felt the fragrance permeate his heart, and exhaled slowly, his whole body relaxed a lot.The reason why Cha Ming got this name is because of his skill in making tea.His family opened a tea house before. He was the youngest son and could not inherit the family business, but he learned the good skills of making and brewing tea.Ye Sirui also valued this point, so he chose him who was inexperienced to serve him personally.Later, Big Brother Chaming inherited the family property, ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and he lost within a few days.Tea Ming has a craft and can make a living, but his eldest brother designed to sell him—influenced by the Guanyan incident, Ye Sirui made a clear investigation of his background before picking up a servant this time.

Marquis Anshun praised: "Good tea." After taking a sip, he said: "Master Ye and I are having tea and chatting, please step back." The servants filed out.

"You asked Ying'er to pass on the message to me, and I received it." Marquis Anshun started with such a sentence.When Ye Sirui came, the alarm bell rang in Ye Sirui's heart, and he still drank his tea calmly, "Then what does Lord Hou think?"

"What do I think, hum!" He Quan slapped the armrest hard with one hand, "That bastard is here to kidnap An'er!"

He Quan's reaction was within his expectations.Marquis Anshun said again: "If that beast hadn't died and there was no proof, I would have made his family have no good fruit to eat!"

"That thief really has something to do with He Yi?" Ye Sirui asked.If something like this happened to the He clan of Marquis Anshun, it would be considered a huge scandal.

An Shunhou's angry face suddenly became unfathomable. "More than ten years ago, a father and son surnamed He came to Liao County to settle down. All the people in the same village were the He family. The father and son had a rich family property, a large house and a wide yard, and the villagers were greedy for wealth, so it was convenient for his family to connect to the clan."

Liao County is the ancestral home of Marquis Anshun. "What does that have to do with the father and son and the thief?" Ye Sirui blurted out.

Marquis Anshun avoided answering, "Ziqi, do you know that Golden Scissors can do it?"

"Golden Scissors Club?" What a weird name. "The lower officials don't know."

"The Golden Scissors Association was notorious a few years ago. It is an organization of killers. It is said that people in the organization use golden scissors as a status symbol. After killing people, they use golden scissors to stain blood on the dead, hence the name. This The organization uses the pharmacy as the contact point, and the members of the organization do not know each other, and the buyer does not need to come to the pharmacy in person, just hand in the deposit and a note with your goal in the pharmacy, no matter how much the deposit is, Golden Scissors will always come. , send someone to complete it, and then bring the tokens, which may be the personal belongings of the murdered person, even the head, facial features and the amount of silver required to the buyer."

"They don't know the identity of the buyer. What if the buyer defaults on payment?" Ye Sirui was immediately attracted by his story.

Marquis Anshun's face was stern, and his fingers tightly grasped the handrail, "No one wants to default on gold scissors and silver taels." His voice was low and low, "Anyone who dares to default is dead."

"The fame of the Golden Scissors Club is due to the legend that the Empress Dowager and the King of Xiang also lost their lives." Speaking of such secrets, Marquis Anshun couldn't help lowering his voice, "The targets of the Golden Scissors Club are mostly high-ranking officials, nobles, and wealthy families. It became famous for a while, and it is said that its customers are either rich or expensive. But it is an underground organization after all, and it is normal for you not to know it. A few years ago, the Golden Scissors Club disappeared from the rivers and lakes. Corpses with the same symbol appeared, and the gold and paper sent to the pharmacy were returned in full."

interesting.Ye Sirui thought to himself.It's a pity that he hadn't heard of such an interesting thing in the past. "What do you mean by mentioning this?" Marquis Anshun's younger sister, Concubine Ning, was murdered by the Empress Dowager, the former empress, and her child was also taken away. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a deadly enemy.As for King Xiang, he sneered in his heart, it should be that everyone wants him to die.

"That bastard is a member of the Golden Scissors Society." Marquis Anshun let go of his hand that was so tightly clenched that his fingertips turned white. "The merchants in Nabian County have scissors on their bodies."

"But isn't the Golden Scissors Association an organization of killers? Killers kill people, how could it be, how could it be..." How could it implicate a family of more than a dozen?

Marquis Anshun understood his question, he took a sip of tea, and swallowed slowly, "The Golden Scissors Club was not as good as before, many members defected one after another. I had no choice but to make a living by stealing and robbing. You don’t need to worry about how I know.” He spread his five fingers in front of him, “That bastard, his name is He Ren, he just didn’t do well, he killed Bingxian that He left behind the sign of the Golden Scissors Society, and the world was shocked, all the people from the government and the rivers and lakes were chasing and killing him, and he fled all the way to make peace, wanting to ask me for help." Hearing this, Ye Sirui felt Marquis An Shun became angry again, "Heaven bless him, he doesn't know what An'er looks like, and all the students in the academy dress up uniformly, so he robbed the wrong person."

Ye Sirui thought of Qi Tianzong who died innocently, his mouth was bitter, so he had to take another sip of tea.

"He Ren is the elder brother of He Yi, the son of the father and son. Their father married a wife in Liao County, gave birth to a son, and died soon after, and their mother disappeared. After He Ren left, the family only He Yi is left. If there is no evidence, I would have killed this brat a long time ago." Marquis Anshun frowned in disgust, "I don't know why he came to Lin County this time." He put down his tea bowl, " I'm going to get rid of you about this."

"Me?" Ye Sirui listened to the story with gusto, and the sudden turn of the plot caught him off guard.

Marquis Anshun said in a deep voice, "I want to know the truth about the robbery of Songhe Academy!"

"Didn't you already know..."

"That's not the truth, and it's not the truth that can be announced to the world!" He Quan stared at him with fierce eyes and a menacing aura. "I want to know if that bastard He Yi has anything to do with this matter, I want to know who the person who sneaked into my house and poisoned me during my birthday party is, and I want to know if there are still remnants of the Golden Scissors Society, I want to wipe them all out!" His voice rose, "I don't care who they killed, whether they have my enemies or not, why can they collect money and take people's lives? Who gave them the right to life and death!?"

"But you said they have disappeared for many years..."

"Another case has appeared, in Helin County."
