Since I met you, people are dying every day

The two of them stood and talked, and the dimmed fire finally disappeared.Cui Tong came forward to reply: "This time, the water flooded and burned eleven yamen offices and seven private households. Most of the silk paper and house furnishings were burned, and there were no casualties."

"Okay." Li Changrui nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Xu time is coming to an end, and the second watch is about to begin.Those households whose houses were burnt down are still helping to put out the fire. "Give money to the fireman, tell the government servants to go back first, and come here directly tomorrow morning. As for the households whose houses were burned down, we will first arrange to rest in a nearby restaurant and station." One night."

Cui Tong got orders, and ordered them one by one.

Having arranged the situation for tonight, Li Changrui has covered several yawns, "Master Ye, I won't go back to rest at this hour, but is there anything to worry about?"

Ye Sirui said perfunctorily: "Master Fu Yin still sticks to this place, Ziqi is younger and stronger than Sir, how can he leave first?"

Li Changrui went down the steps he gave, "I am indeed old, not as brave as a young man. It's cold at the end of autumn, Mr. Ye, don't stay too long." Then he planned to go back.

Ye Sirui said again: "Wait, Lord Li. Are Wan Chengtiao's book boys and servants still imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion?"

The servant brought by Li Changrui helped him to turn around slowly. Once the fire was extinguished, it showed the appearance of pitch-black night. The servant held a lantern in his hand. He didn't know if he was dazzled. When Ye Sirui saw Li Changrui, his expression was grim. "It turns out that Master Ye was asking this. It is indeed true. Although Wan Chengtiao died by hanging himself, his servants could not stop him without investigating the situation. This is already a violation of the criminal law. I will detain them until Wan Chengtiao's family members claim it." Give them back when the body is dead."

"The lower official dared to ask, where is the confession of the two of them? Can the lower official look at it?"

Li Changrui's voice was full of undisguised impatience, "Lord Ye, it's better not to be too aggressive. The Shuntian Mansion is not affiliated with the Procuratorate. Lord Ye was ordered to investigate the case. Your Majesty didn't ask you to make things difficult for us. Why is Shuntian Mansion now?" Is Tianfu going to report everything to you?"

"It's a lower official who overstepped. Please go back, Mr. Li." Ye Sirui admitted his mistake straightforwardly, and the servant helped Li Changrui into the sedan chair and lowered the curtain.A voice suddenly came from inside the sedan chair: "Lord Ye, I would like to advise you that when working in the court, you can only serve as an official for a long time if you learn to figure out His Majesty's will. How do you know that His Majesty taught you to investigate this case? Really want you to check it?"

The bearer gets up and leaves.

Li Changrui left, and Xia Shu stood beside Ye Sirui with the lamp in his hand.

Cui Tong had already settled the victims and dismissed the firemen. Seeing the three of them here, he walked over and said, "Where is the mansion of Mr. Qianshi? It's the second watch, the road is not safe, I will take you back. "

Ye Sirui naturally declined: "No need, I have brought guards, and I just ride back by myself."

Cui Tong remembered the performance of Xia Shu and his opponent, so he stopped talking and left with the rest of the people.The reception in the middle of the night suddenly became quiet, "Come on, let's go to the mansion to have a look."

Xia Shu turned on the light and walked in front, Ma Lu hurriedly went up and said, "Mr Xia, you just need to protect the adults, let's leave such trivial matters to the younger ones."

Xia Shu ignored it.

"Come here and talk to me, tell Ma Lu to turn on the lights." Ye Sirui said.Xia Shu stopped and told Ma Lu to catch up, and handed him the lantern.Ma Lu walked ahead with a lantern, Ye Sirui pulled Xia Shu's sleeve and walked side by side with him.

"Where are you from?" Xia Shu asked suddenly.

Ye Sirui raised his head sensitively, "I am a tester from Zhili."

"So that's why Li Changrui said those things to you?" He asked with difficulty.

Ye Sirui shook his head. "He thought I would accept him as a favor, but I never asked about party disputes."

They crossed the original outer wall of the Procuratorate, and Xia Shu naturally helped him up, "Be careful." Ma Lu also slowed down to show them the way, saying that the ruined walls were full of potholes, and it was very difficult to walk.The house was burned to the ground, leaving only a black frame, Ye Sirui roughly remembered the location of his yamen, and walked over there gropingly.Not a single piece of furniture was left in that room, not to mention the fragile rolls.

"Is it by chance?" Xia Shu held his hand.

"How can there be so many chances." Ye Sirui stared at the original position of the burned-out table for a while. "Ma Lu, pack your things and go back to Helin County tomorrow."

Ma Lu didn't expect him to say this suddenly, the candle flickered, but his voice was still steady, "Your Excellency wants to drive me away?"

"Winter is coming soon. Without you, your wife and children will lose the backbone. This case will not be clear for a while. Do you still want to celebrate the New Year in the capital?"

"No clues?" Ma Lu asked sensitively, "Aren't the clues your lord found called clues?"

Ye Sirui didn't want to quarrel with him, he was already a little tired.He rested his head on the other hand, and said wearily: "You are a policeman from Helin County, so it's not an option to always be by my side. Ye Fu won't say anything, but you have to think about your future, even if you If you don't care about your future, don't your wife and children care about it?"

Ma Luben wanted to refute many times, but after Xia Shu finished speaking, he had nothing to say.

Ye Sirui rubbed the center of his brows, "You pack up your things and go on the road tomorrow. Anyway, I am assured of your martial arts. You should pay attention to your own safety. Remember to bring some things for your wife on the way." Thinking of Ye Kuang, he sighed again. "There's nothing to see, let's go back."

On the return trip, Malu was still exploring the way ahead with lights on.He didn't say a word, he was not riding fast, and the lamp in his hand was turned on steadily, just in front of Ye Sirui and the two of them.Back to the restaurant, Ma Lu went back to his room.Tea Ming was already fast asleep, and Ye Sirui didn't bother to wake him up to fetch water to wash up, he just wiped his face with the residual water in the room.

The windows are open in the house, and the moonlight is like water, flowing smoothly.Ye Sirui stared blankly.Xia Shu said, "Do you miss Ye Kuang?"

Ye Sirui didn't expect him to point it out, so he could only nod his head in admission.Since he left for several months, he hasn't even written a letter from home, so I don't know if Kuang'er will complain about him

"I miss him too." Xia Shu said.This is indeed his style, whether he misses or doubts, he can say it clearly.It's good, it's better than keeping everything in your heart.

Ye Sirui thought wistfully. "Brother Tianshu, you..."

"I won't leave." Xia Shu took a few steps and walked directly in front of him, "I promise to accompany you, no matter how dangerous it is, I will not leave."

He actually understood... Xia Shu was taller than Ye Sirui, Ye Sirui had to raise his head and stare at his eyebrows.There are a lot of things I want to say, and the organization is tossed and turned in my mouth, and finally there is only a smile on the corner of my mouth. "I didn't want to let you go. I just want to ask, are you in a hurry to sleep? I want to write a letter to Kuang'er and ask Ma Lu to bring it to him."

"No rush." ​​He said firmly.

Ye Sirui said: "Come grind it for me?"

Ye Sirui had pens and ink in his luggage, but it was packed by Cha Ming, and he didn't know where to put it.There were ready-made Four Treasures of the Study on the table, Ye Sirui walked over, uncovered a piece of rice paper, and looked at the lamp, it turned out that it was sprinkled with golden Shuxuan, and the pens were also lake pens.It seems that not only the people who live in this Zhuangyuan building are very particular, but the cost is also very particular.

The inkstone on the table has dried up.Ye Sirui hasn't written anything since he moved in.Xia Shu quietly added some water and started grinding.He has a moderate speed and great strength, and he doesn't get tired all the time. Ye Sirui raised his sleeves, took a pen to moisten it, and started to conceive.Kuang'er has only been in school for a year or two, not to mention that they are called uncles and nephews, but they are actually like father and son. It is really unnecessary to write a letter so formal. After thinking about it, he began to write:

"My nephew Kuang'er read: It's been two months since Lin Yi said goodbye. I don't know if Kuang'er is in good health and happy to learn?"

After writing the next sentence, he paused his pen, and continued: "I am all well. I traveled to many places because of the investigation and investigation. Now I am living in the capital. I may return to my hometown a few years ago." One sentence is crossed out.Kuang'er has always disliked the capital city, so why bother to mention it to him, besides, it's hard to say whether he could return to Helin County years ago, so why give him hope in vain?

"Your teacher, Tianshu, has rescued me in times of distress several times, and is like a brother to me. Now everything is fine. When we meet again, Kuang'er should treat him like a family member."

Xia Shu kept lowering his head to grind, and suddenly asked: "How do you mention me?"

Ye Sirui was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xia Shu to read the letter he wrote. "Of course I have to write that you miss him. How could he not miss you?" He thought for a while, and then added: "Your teacher has missed you for a long time, and you should study your homework and martial arts every day to prepare for you." The teacher returned to his hometown for inspection. I haven't seen you for two months. I don't know if your homework will make progress. You should still practice more, and don't forget the basics."

After babbling and exhorting, he stopped writing again.I miss Kuanger on weekdays, and there are always thousands of words. I really want to write, but I want to talk.The ink was getting thicker, so he dipped the pen and said, "Take a rest for a while, you don't need to sharpen it for now." He added some water to the inkstone.

"What did you write?" Xia Shu asked him after resting his hand.

Ye Sirui was taken aback again, "You really don't understand?"

"I can only read a few words roughly, and I can read some prescriptions." Xia Shu said.

Ye Sirui said: "Fortunately, my writing is superficial, so it's easy to teach you this." Then he read the letter from the beginning. He didn't write many sentences, but he read every word clearly. Xia Shu nodded after listening, "I understand." After a while, he asked again: "What is a family gift?"

Ye Sirui was at a loss for words for a moment, subconsciously clenched the pen, saw Xia Shu's serious eyes, and laughed at himself for being too nervous. "The two of us are brothers and sisters, and the two families love the same family. It can be said that the whole family is good. Kuang'er should regard you as the parent."

Xia Shu nodded, and said, "It's a pity that I'm the only one left in my family."

Ye Sirui held his hand with his left hand, "Isn't my home your home?"
