In this huge capital, it is not uncommon for a person to die. Even the death of a powerful official is only a few times after a meal and then forgotten.

But this time, something is different.

This time, it was a new official who had not yet taken office who died. It is said that this man was a wealthy merchant in the Jiangnan area, and his official position was bought from the mantle. It is said that he committed a felony and was punished overnight. It is said that he died a tragic death, and his body is still hanging on a torii in the capital......

This kind of thing is the first time in the capital. These rumors, natural death attracted some people's curiosity, so that early in the morning, a certain archway in the capital surrounded a lot of people.

"You say, it's the second day, why hasn't anyone come to collect the body of that man?" The woman in the flower turban used to sell seasonal vegetables here, and since the corpse was hung on the archway of the vegetable market, she had one more thing to do besides selling vegetables -- to talk to people about the corpse.

said that he was afraid, so he was naturally a little afraid, but it was said that this corpse was hung by someone who was ordered by Chao Qing'an to wait for the master, and none of them dared to touch the corpse, so they had to force themselves to adapt.

"Who knows, maybe this man has no relatives at all. Even if there were, who would dare to risk being killed by the Hou Ye to take the corpse?" said the old woman who was selling vegetables with the lady.

"Yes, I see, I'm afraid no one will come to claim this corpse!" said a voice from nowhere.

There are a lot of onlookers who echo it, and when the person dies, he was ordered by the Hou Ye to hang it on the archway and not to enter the soil for peace, which shows that there must be a great grudge between this person and the Qing'an Hou Ye. If you can't let Master Hou order someone to hang the corpse, it's just to lure out this person's accomplices or relatives, and then wipe him out!

The sun was gradually rising, and although it was winter, it was a rare sunny day, and the corpses hanging on the torii gradually began to exude an unbearable smell. Now, there are fewer people watching the excitement, but the people living near the archway are annoying.

For two days, no one took away the corpse on the archway.

"I don't know what kind of evil mold has fallen, no one collects the corpse when the person dies, it's really pitiful!" The people didn't dare to talk about Qing'anhou's at will, so they had to complain about the corpse and his relatives.

"Hey, isn't it, if you don't let your relatives settle in the ground, can that person's conscience be okay? This is an act of disloyalty and unfilial piety!"

"But come and take the body away, I was stunned when I saw it. ”

said so, but no one came forward. The people in the vicinity suffered unspeakably, but they had no choice but to endure it.

The people in Qing'an Houfu have also been suffering from headaches recently.

"Lord Wang, do you have any news?" At the gate of the Hou Mansion, two people in official uniforms gathered together.

The middle-aged man who was questioned shook his head and said, "I have searched all the streets and alleys of the capital, and I have not found any suspicious persons! I have also focused on the shops that sell underworld objects, and I am stunned that there is no clue at all! Lord Dong, Master Hou ordered you to strictly check the body of the thief, but there is a gain?"

As soon as he heard this, Lord Dong sighed heavily, "If you want me to say, the thief either has no relatives, or his relatives have already left the capital, I sent someone to keep an eye on the archway near the archway day and night, and I didn't see half a person to collect the body!"

The two looked at each other again and sighed, Hou Ye is ruthless, as subordinates, they naturally know better than anyone else, this time they did not complete the task assigned by Hou Ye, and it was difficult for both of them to give an account to Hou Ye, but I am afraid that they will inevitably be punished.

"Fang Kite has seen two adults. A cold female voice suddenly sounded, and Dong and Wang were both startled because they were too immersed in the worry about the punishment that Qing'an Hou was going to fall next.

"Who is so ......" The remaining three words 'not long eyes' were taken back by Dong and Wang with a tacit understanding after they saw the faces of the person who spoke out.

If it is an ordinary person, they will scold it, this Su Fangyuan Su girl, although they don't take her seriously in their hearts, they still have to make a kind appearance on their faces.

"It turned out to be Miss Su, is this going to see Master Hou?" Lord Dong took the lead in retracting the sad look on his face, and asked with a smirk.

Su Fangyuan bowed her head slightly, not wanting to say more to the two of them, and turned around to leave. Except for Qin Mo, she didn't have half of the people close to her in the Hou Mansion, as for these two, as well as the attitude of Hou Ye's other subordinates towards her, she was like a mirror in her heart, but she just hated each other.

"Miss Su, please stay. Lord Wang suddenly stepped forward and blocked Su Fangyuan's way, which made Lord Dong and Su Fangyuan present a little surprised.

"I don't know what advice Lord Wang has?" greeted the two of them, but because this was in front of the Hou Mansion, she was worried that she would be unwilling to do it, Su Fangyuan asked herself that the two people in front of her had never intersected at all, and their stay made her feel a little confused.

"Miss Su, don't want to be so angry with me, I see that you are the same age as those girls in my family, and it makes me feel a little close. This is a little bit of my care, and I hope that Miss Su will not be too little. As he spoke, he took out a heavy bag of silver taels from his sleeve.

Su Fangyuan has been coming to Qing'an Houfu for some years, this Lord Wang has never taken himself seriously, and with today's attitude, it is not difficult to think that he is encountering some tricky things and hopes that he can help. Su Fangyuan frowned and thought for a while, only to remember that a few days ago, Hou Ye seemed to have disposed of a thief, and at that time, it was the two adults in front of him who were sent to arrest the thief's accomplices.

Su Fangyuan laughed dryly, and then said with an embarrassed face: "What is Lord Wang doing? As the saying goes, you can't afford to be so polite." Besides, Fang Kite people are soft-spoken, and they must not be able to help adults. ”

"Miss Su's words are outside, let's do things for Master Hou together, we have to have some affection. Besides, this incident is not to bother you for no reason, I suddenly remembered that Miss Su, you are also from Jiangnan, and Su Qingyuan, the thief who was not long-eyed before, seemed to be from the same place, so I thought......"

"What are you talking about, Su Qingyuan?" Su Fangyuan's face changed in an instant, which made Dong and Wang a little confused.

Lord Wang should even tell him about Qing'an's disposal of the thieves and sending them to arrest the thieves' relatives.

But Su Fangyuan's attention all fell on the three words 'Su Qingyuan', in the past few days, she had only heard that Hou Ye had dealt with a thief, but she never thought that she would know this person!
