Early the next morning, after breakfast, a few people went to the homes of the dead book writers.
Before they could go out, a group of yamen servants came to the door and blocked them at the door.
"May I ask what happened?" Xie Si stepped forward and asked.
"Officer, it's them." The old man who sold tofu at Tofu Xishi yesterday pointed to them and said to several yamen servants.
"You need to follow us to the yamen. Tofu Xishi died at home yesterday."
"what?"
"How come?" Everyone was a little surprised.
"Dare to ask the official, when did this happen?"
"At noon yesterday, tell me the rest of the matter at the Yamen."
When they arrived at the yamen, the owner of the house they were living in also rushed over. I saw him lying in the magistrate's ear and said something, and the impatient magistrate tried to put a smile on his face.
"So it's the young masters and young ladies in the capital, what a disrespect!" The county magistrate bowed.
"It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." Xie Si couldn't help thinking in his heart what kind of noble occupation the system of this task world had arranged for them, but fortunately, it was so, otherwise he would have to kneel down, and he really couldn't bear it.
"I heard that all the young masters and ladies met Liu Hua yesterday? Did you notice anything unusual?" The county magistrate sat back at the desk and said seriously, Liu Hua was that Liu Xishi.
"We didn't find anything unusual when we left. The old lady was fine when we left, and we didn't know if she was sick."
"When did my mother-in-law die?" a girl asked.
"I can't test it out, I can't see how she died, and I don't know when she disappeared."
"Report...report to your lord, a few more people died strangely." A yamen servant rushed in from the outside and said to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate jumped up from his chair in shock: "What? What's going on?"
"Many people reported to the police this morning, all saying that someone in the family had died, and what they described had the same symptoms as those who died before." Even though it was winter, the yamen servant was also sweating.
The county magistrate was on the verge of falling, and supported the corner of the table with trembling hands: "Hurry up, hurry up and investigate." Then he looked at Xie Si and the others, "It's a serious matter, we need to investigate quickly, let's start with today's matter, what's new? I’ll ask you some more questions, so I won’t leave you guys here today.”
"Can I ask what happened to the corpse?" Xie Si asked, these things should be related to their mission.
The county magistrate shook his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, this is a government matter, I'm sorry I can't tell you all."
"Okay, if your lord has any questions, you can ask us at any time, and we will leave first." Seeing that the county magistrate was unwilling to say anything, Xie Si did not force it.
When they got out of the gate and saw the people around the gate, they knew how many people had died this time.
Some people were watching not far away, and kept pointing at those people at the door.
Xie Si walked over: "Excuse me, brother, what happened?"
"Didn't you just come out of the yamen? Don't you know what happened?" Since they watched Xie Si and the others come out of the yamen, they took it for granted that they were related to this incident.
"We were called in for questioning because of Liu Xishi's death." Thinking of the loss of such a kind and strong mother-in-law, Xie Si felt sad for a while.
"What? Tofu Shih Tzu died too? When did this happen?"
"Just yesterday, I heard a little bit inside. Their family members also died inexplicably. Do you know what happened?" Xie Si asked, pointing at the people standing at the door.
"I only know about one household, that is, the woman next to the stone lion. It was her man who died. Her man goes to the Yingbin Building for dinner every day at noon. After a long time, we all know him. The rest seem to be All his drinking buddies."
Xie Si became more and more alarmed, Yingbin Building?Isn't this where they had lunch yesterday?
"Thank you." Xie Si returned to his teammates, "Let's leave here first, and talk about the rest as we walk."
A group of people hurriedly left the place, and he said to them after walking a long distance, "I suspect that the people who died were those who sat around us in the Yingbin Building yesterday."
"What, will you die if you come into contact with us?" a person said in panic.
Gu Fan also became serious: "Probably not, we have contacted many people, the owner of the courtyard where we live, the old man has a lot of contact with us, the teahouse you were in yesterday, none of these people had any accidents."
"Then what the hell is going on?"
"Let's go to the homes of the book writers who were killed first. Maybe I know what's going on?" Xie Si, who had been thinking silently before, suggested.
"I can do it too. I also have an idea that needs to be verified." Gu Fan also agreed.
The rest, not knowing what they all knew, agreed.
"These families are about to go around the city. Let's go one by one. Maybe it will take us a whole day." Thinking back to the address the man gave him yesterday, Xie Si's face became bitter.
"Can't you take a carriage?" Zhao Long scratched his head, "It will indeed be very tiring."
"I didn't see a place to rent a carriage here, nor did I see any carriages?" This small town feels like some modern cultural ancient cities, basically pedestrians, and carriages that can carry people are rare.
"Forget it, let's take a look around first. If we can see the carriage, we will rent it. If we can't find it, we will look for clues separately. This should be easy." Xie Si found that their thinking was limited to team action, and they completely forgot There is also the matter of splitting up.
Zhao Long also reacted immediately: "Yes, this is also possible. But we don't know what you want to verify?"
"Just say it. What I want to know is whether the dead authors scolded Princess Lezheng. If they really said something bad about her, then we have reason to think that the death of those people has something to do with that Lezheng princess." It's about the princess."
"If it's really related to Princess Lezheng, then aren't we fucked?" A girl turned pale.
"Well, that's what I want to verify." Thinking that those people might have died because of him, Gu Fan's heart began to get heavy.
"Let's go and have a look first. Now we are not sure whether it has anything to do with us. If it really has something to do with it, what we can do now is to get rid of that murderer." Zhao Long tried to ease the atmosphere.
"That's right, let's distribute it first. There are eight people in total, three are in the west of the city, not far from us, two are in the east of the city, one is in the north of the city, and two are in the south of the city. How do we divide them up?"
"Let's go to the north of the city with Liu Yue. The north of the city is not too close." Zhao Long said first, Liu Yue is the girl who thought she had time traveled. Because she has been a little coquettish these days, she is not particularly popular among them. Welcome, therefore, Zhao Long wants to take her.
But she didn't accept Zhao Long's kindness at all: "I don't want to go there, it's too far away, I want to go to the south of the city."
Zhao Long was a little embarrassed, and the rest of the girls said, "I'll go with you."
Zhao Long looked at her gratefully.
The remaining two said, "Let's go to the west of the city."
"Then Gu Fan and I will go to the east of the city, and two people will be left to investigate the situation of those people today and yesterday." Xie Si and Gu Fan acquiesced as partners.
Soon the groups were divided and started to go to their destinations.
Although this city is called a small city, it is still quite big. They walked for nearly two hours to get there.
The first person to write a book was a scholar. He failed many times in the scientific examinations, so he gave up and started writing books. His family was also very poor. His parents committed suicide a few years ago because they couldn’t pay taxes. His brothers and sisters lived elsewhere. So he was the only one in the family.
At this time, the courtyard door and the door of his house were wide open, and there was still a bad smell coming from the house, which made people want to vomit.
"What are you here for?" The neighbor lady who came out to fetch water looked at them warily.
Xie Si replied while retching: "Ugh, we just want to investigate how he died."
"Isn't the government doing this kind of thing?"
In such a small town, usually only the government will investigate such cases, and ordinary people will only treat such things as after-dinner conversation. Every family is busy with their own work every day, so there is no time to take care of these things, so the aunt heard They also come to investigate and will be very surprised.
"That's right, don't people usually come to this small town?"
"Yeah, I haven't seen a stranger for nearly half a year. Our small town is very popular. Everyone who came this year has stayed here. Do you want to stay here too?"
"Have you all lived here?" Is this small town really that good?Xie Si thought to himself that people who came could live here.
"No, we are used to living here, and we don't feel good, but everyone who comes here lives here, which makes us proud!" The aunt smiled happily and continued to work on her own affairs.
Seeing the aunt returning to the house, Xie Si and Gu Fan looked at each other: "Do you feel right?"
"Isn't that obvious? How is it possible that everyone who comes here will live here? If she said so, we will also settle here." Xie Si felt that it was impossible.
"It's also possible. If we don't solve it within a month, we'll stay here." Gu Fan stretched his waist, knocked Xie Si on the head, "Go ahead and have a look."
Xie Si covered his head and measured his fist against Gu Fan's back. Gu Fan happened to turn his head around at this moment, and Xie Si immediately put his fist to his mouth and pretended to be coughing, "Ahem, my throat suddenly feels itchy."
"Do you think I believe it?" Gu Fan was a little helpless.
Xie Si: "I just believe it myself."
Gu Fan: "..."
There is only one small window in the whole room, no wonder the smell inside can't dissipate for a long time with the door open.
Facing the window is a desk with a few books on it. Xie Si flipped through it, but found nothing about Princess Lezheng or the previous dynasty. Could it be that their guess was wrong.
I searched the entire room thoroughly, and there is indeed no information about these.
"Let's go and see that one." Gu Fan also frowned.
The person in the east of the city was also alone in his house, and nothing about the former dynasty and the princess was found in the entire house. It seemed that they really guessed wrong.
I went back to the yard dejectedly, but no one had arrived yet.
"We found nothing and it doesn't look like that's the case anymore."
"So do we," said the others, too.
After a while, they went to the west of the city and came back panting: "We didn't find anything in that house, but we found a clue through a neighbor."
