Chapter 30: The Light of the Heart
Jiu Wentian took a deep breath, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him, and he had gained a new beginning. He sat on a small stone pier in the courtyard, and the snow had not yet completely melted, and the plum blossoms in full bloom were covered by snow.
Patting the branches of the plum blossoms, the snow fell, and the bright plum blossoms bloomed in the eyes of Jiuwentian again.
"That's good. Jiu Wentian said with a smile.
Jiang Qiufang sat on the small stone pier and said casually: "My mother used to tell me that even in such a cold winter, plum blossoms can still bloom. Even if the snow suppresses the plum blossoms, the day will come when the plum blossoms will still bloom there, and the snow will long be gone. ”
Jiu Wentian's vision was a little blurred, and he looked at the plum blossom petals in front of him, one, two, three, four, ah...... It's four petals. The clouds in the sky are looking down on the earth, and the sun seems to be standing on top of the dragon like a king, and the warmth and coldness of this world seem to have nothing to do with the sun. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, making Jiu Wentian can't help but wrap his coat tightly.
Jiang Qiufang walked to Jiu Wentian's side, and then said, "Xiao Jiu, do you think Elder Ye Lan will be imprisoned?"
"Perhaps, Lord Yu from the Department of Justice is interrogating inside. Jiu Wentian didn't dare to look directly into Jiang Qiufang's eyes, he was afraid to see Jiang Qiufang's sincere and hot gaze, just like he didn't know how to explain to his son that he had been deceived.
Xiao Lebang was also sitting on the stone pier, but his expression was much more natural, and he saw Xiao Lebang slowly stand up and say: "There will be no right or wrong in this world, and when you are really strong, no one will think that what you say is white." ”
Inside the house, Chief Manager Cao and Yu Xian were sitting there looking at Ye Lan in front of them. Mr. Cao refilled Yu Xian's water in the bowl, and the steaming water vapor came out of the bowl, and Yu Xian slowly closed the lid, and the water vapor disappeared.
Along with the water vapor, what disappeared was the hope in Ye Lan's heart, and he only hoped that he would be better in the future.
Chief Manager Cao said softly: "Elder Ye Lan, as a coach that everyone in the old city knows, how could you do such a thing? There must be some misunderstanding in this, otherwise even I can't believe this matter, while there is still a chance, you have to grasp it." ”
"No, Mr. Cao, I did it. Ye Lan lowered his head and slowly stated what Xiao Lebang said to him just now. This case was so well rounded that even Yu Xian didn't have the slightest doubt.
Ye Lan was not stupid, he knew that Manager Cao didn't want to help him, but just put on a show in front of the immortals. It's okay if he admits it, but if he doesn't, he will be labeled as a denier, and he will be the one who suffers. Manager Cao also means this, since Xiao Lebang brought people over, then he believes in Xiao Lebang's ability, even if it is an oolong, it will be a matter of the future.
The major events in the old city cannot be delayed, it can be faster by a second, if Jiang Fuqing steps down, then the forces that were suppressed by Jiang Fuqing before will come out again. He didn't want to see Jiang Fuqing step down, nor did he want to see the old city destroyed in the hands of others, Jiang Fuqing was definitely a good city lord, and when the next city lord was not elected, the old city could not be without a leader.
Jiang Qiufang suddenly asked Jiu Wentian: "Xiao Jiu, you also went to hide yesterday, do you know where that Tie Yi was killed?"
Jiu Wentian was stunned, and then looked at Jiang Qiufang's sincere gaze, Jiu Wentian's sluggishness and Jiang Qiufang's firmness formed a stark contrast. At this moment, he was shaken for a long time, he felt that although he was old and had more social experience, he had never forgotten that his childhood dream was not to be a bad person. He couldn't tell whether he was good or bad, and his heart was all dark.
"Is this Mrs. Jiang's tomb?" Yu Yongyan looked at the tombstone in front of him, there were only a few simple words on it, it was not as luxurious and luxurious as he imagined, and there was no life experience, it seemed to be more humble than the tomb of ordinary people, Yu Yongyan said with some regret: "Very good, I heard that Mrs. Jiang has always been simple, and the city lord of Jiang must have obeyed his wife's wishes by doing this." ”
Jiang Fuqing's eyes wandered around, and he didn't dare to look at the tombstone, as if he hadn't looked at He Ze and he wasn't dead. In the past ten years, he has been here for very little time, he has spent a lot of time drinking, and after drinking, he can sleep, and when he falls asleep, He Ze comes. Is it really ten years since this repeatedly?
"Yes, it's been ten years, and the autumn boat is so big. Jiang Fuqing muttered to himself, and then said to Yu Yongyan: "It's very sad here, if Master Yu finishes worshipping, let's go back." ”
Yu Yongyan shook the tombstone, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed, got up and shook it again, and then said, "Doesn't Lord Jiang worship it?"
"One day husband and wife for 100 days, that's it. Jiang Fuqing turned his body around and walked in the direction of the carriage.
However, Yu Yongyan was staring ahead, behind this tombstone in front of him was Tongtianya, and the mediocre tomb that was rumored to be hidden on the Ya was not known in the end, and no one went to see if the mediocrity was buried there. Yu Yongyan took a deep breath and turned around and walked towards the carriage.
After sending Ye Lan away, Ye Yuze had an indescribable sense of sadness, after all, it was also the people of the Ye family who left so wronged. However, Ye Yuze still has a way to save Ye Lan, that is, to find some reliable information to re-investigate the case. Maybe this is unlikely, but you have to give it a try, the talents of the six departments will not talk about anything, they only see their own interests.
I've heard everything about Guo Biao in the iron coat, but one thing hasn't been made clear, where Guo Biao was killed. This is definitely one thing that can solve the mystery, although the city is large, there are large forests on both sides, so there are not many places to live in the city, and it stands to reason that there will be news from the place where Tie Yi was killed.
This kind of news could never be blocked, and killing the ironclad with a long sword would definitely leave some clues, and the sound was enough to alarm the people around him. As a well-known coaching family in the old city, the Ye family can be said to have their own eyes and ears in various places, but there has been no response so far, and it seems that this matter is not simple.
"Fei'er. Ye Yuze said to a young man standing there: "Come here, I'll give you some tasks." ”
Ye Fei stepped forward and walked a few steps to Ye Yuze's face, this person was also wearing a black coat, only to see Ye Fei said, "Please instruct the head of the family." ”
After Ye Yuze said a few words next to Ye Fei's ear, Ye Fei nodded and said, "Ye Fei guarantees to complete the task." ”
After Ye Fei left, Ye Yuze also got on his horse, and then said to the people of the Ye family: "Don't be too depressed, just behave as usual, I have something to do, the Great Elder will maintain the order of the Ye family first." ”
Jiu Wentian said hesitantly: "This, how do I know, I came back with Brother Cao yesterday, by the way, what about Brother Cao?"
Jiang Qiufang looked at Jiu Wentian suspiciously, and then said expressionlessly: "Brother Cao said that he was going to retreat and cultivate today, and locked himself in the house and didn't go out. ”
Zhang Batian walked and walked in front of Jiu Wentian and the others, and then smiled at Xiao Lebang and said, "Lord Xiao, I heard that you found the murderer, you really didn't disappoint me." ”
"Drag the blessing of the adult, the villain has already told Lord Yu that it is your attention, and the villain is just going to arrest people. Xiao Lebang said after seeing Zhang Batian.
Zhang Batian patted Xiao Lebang's shoulder, and said with an appreciative expression: "Okay, Lord Xiao really speaks well, then I, Lord Zhang, can't be stingy, and when I return to the Investigation Department, I will definitely help Lord Xiao say a few fair words." ”
Xiao Lebang smiled and said, "Then thank you Lord Zhang." ”
Jiu Wentian can also see that this Zhang Batian must be the master of lies, but Xiao Lebang has to do this when his official position is there, even the thankless Xiao Lebang knows that the official position of envoy is the best reward if he doesn't get anything.
Because the more you get for this kind of work, the more you get suspicious. On the contrary, you have done your best but got nothing, others just treat you as a dogleg, no one will look down on doglegs, and no one will target doglegs.
This time Zhang Batian is a beautiful scenery, but the tree is a big wind, and what awaits him is more than a reward. As the saying goes, everything has its own two sides, there is no good and no bad, there is only your own heart.
After a while, the door of the room was pushed open, Ye Lan stood behind Lord Yu and bowed his head without speaking, and Lord Yu also said: "This case has been closed, I will pass the book to the Ministry of Law, let him sleep in the prison in the old city today, and someone from the Department of Criminal Law will come to pick him up and take him to the state tomorrow." And the biggest credit for this case is Zhang Batian, Mingzhou has had clear rewards and punishments since ancient times, and the reward will be given to you when you return to the Investigation Department. ”
Zhang Batian smiled, and also said, "The villain is grateful to the adult." ”
"I have read the laws of your old city, it is very comprehensive and detailed, and I hope that the old city can get better and better. Yu Xian said: "If there is nothing to do, I will go back to rest first." ”
Jiu Wentian was in charge of sending Ye Lan to the prison, and the location was also in the basement of the City Lord's Mansion, which was also known as the dungeon, where all kinds of criminals in the old city were imprisoned. Jiang Qiufang followed Jiu Wentian to send Ye Lan over, and when Jiang Qiufang was on the way, he asked, "Xiao Jiu, do you know something?"
"I ......" Jiu Wentian gritted his teeth and said, "I know who the murderer is." ”
