Chapter 14: The Final Search

Ru Yan ran back to Yiyun Hall out of breath all the way, and when she saw someone, she asked, "Where is Lord Ouyang, where is Lord Ouyang!" ”

Someone replied: "Lord Ouyang is in the training ground!" ”

Ru Yan hurriedly ran towards the training ground again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This training ground was set up by Hu Wan on the west side of the swallow village. It is said that Hu Wan was born in a military camp, and this training ground was also set up according to the training ground in the regular army of the imperial court. It is no wonder that the Yanzizhai bandits under the leadership of Hu Wan were able to stand out among the rabble in this area. Hu Wan also became famous as a result.

On the training ground, Ouyang Yi was giving a lecture to the officials. A guard came over and whispered a few words to him, so he asked the officials to train on their own, and strode out. Seeing Ru Yan standing outside, she looked very anxious.

Seeing Ouyang Yan, Ru Yan immediately greeted him: "Brother Ouyang, where is the official who salvaged the blacksmith's floating corpse the day before yesterday?" ”

Ouyang Yi was confused.

"I'll talk to Brother Ouyang later, I'm going to see the official who salvaged the floating corpse right now."

"Ru Yan...... I ......".

"What, isn't the official who salvaged the floating corpse here?"

"It's not ......", Ouyang seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it after all, he just called the people around him and asked him to quickly find the official who salvaged the floating corpse the day before yesterday.

It was just a pillar of incense, and the four officials who salvaged the floating corpse stood respectfully in front of them that day.

"Who was the first to find the floating corpse that day?" Ru Yan asked.

"It's me!" , replied a simple and honest young man in his early twenties.

"Where did you find the floating corpse, although it is summer, but the temperature at the bottom of the valley is low, the lake is cold, and the floating corpse has begun to decompose, so it can be seen that the time for the deceased to be killed will not be too short, why did the officers and soldiers search for days but did not find it." Ru Yan asked.

The young man didn't know why, for fear that this floating corpse case would suddenly have something to do with him, and his legs and feet trembled with fright: "I...... I also...... I don't know! ”

"Just tell the truth," Ouyang Yi said to the official.

Hearing this, the official was a little relieved: "The lake is full of aquatic plants, and the shore is surrounded by green vines, if you don't approach and search very carefully, let alone a person, even if you hide three or five people inside, you may not be able to see it, I ...... that day I also ran to the lake...... Urinate...... Only then did I find out ......".

"Brother Ouyang, Ru Yan implores you to send someone to take a boat around the lake to clean up the aquatic weeds and green vines, the floating corpse is caught in the green vines, then brother may also ......."

"Ru Yan," Ouyang Yan interrupted her before Ru Yan could finish speaking, "Actually, there is one thing I wanted to tell you just now, but I don't know how to speak." β€œ

"Brother Ouyang, what's the difficulty?" Ru Yan asked.

"Alas, it's because the imperial court thinks that the search time is long enough, and the manpower and material resources can't bear it, so I ordered me to rectify it today, and I will leave Yanzi Village tomorrow!"

Ru Yan looked at her, tears streaming from her eyes, "So, Brother Ouyang is going to give up the search, right?" ”

"Ru Yan, I have never given up the search for Ru Yan, it is the decision of the imperial court, the imperial court, and the imperial court must consider ...... with comprehensive manpower and material resources."

"Manpower and material resources are a fart", it was Xuanshuang who spoke, "Manpower and material resources are heavier than human life, right?" ”

It turned out that the four girls hadn't seen Ru Yan come back for a long time, so they went to look for her, and heard that she was coming to the training ground, so they also rushed over.

"Lord Ouyang, this matter has to be carefully considered, Lord Wang and Master were killed, the murderer is unknown, Hu Wan is still out of harm, how can your lord go home?" Snow said.

"The order of the imperial court cannot be disobeyed, I arranged it like this, I will go back first, explain everything that happened here to Lord Liu above me, and then implore Lord Liu to order me to investigate the murder of Lord Wang and Master again." Ouyang Yi said.

"Then what if Lord Liu doesn't let you investigate this case, arranges for someone else, and then arranges you to do something else?" Purple Wind asked.

"Then I will call it sick leave, and I still have to come back here to find Ruyan with everyone, even if it is to lose my career, I will not hesitate to do it." Ouyang said righteously.

"Hmph, Lord Ouyang, aren't you so naΓ―ve as to think that just a few of us plus your retainers can clear the water and green vines by the lake?" Zifeng said with some sarcasm.

"Lord Ouyang, you must think of a way!" Hazy Moon also said anxiously.

"Don't embarrass Brother Ouyang anymore," Ru Yan said, "None of us are members of the imperial court, so we won't understand the seriousness of disobedience. We must no longer make unreasonable troubles and implicate Brother Ouyang. β€œ

"Ru Yan ......", Ouyang Yi didn't expect Ru Yan to be so reasonable, and Ouyang Yan was very moved by her understanding, "Don't worry, I'll go back first, and I'll be back soon, believe me, I won't leave this matter alone." β€œ

Ouyang Yan's words were sincere, and Ru Yan was also very moved in her heart, "I believe you, Brother Ouyang, this time is also thanks to your help, however, Ru Yan still has a reluctant request, the imperial court has ordered Brother Ouyang to leave tomorrow, then, today we still have one day, please Brother Ouyang send someone to search by the lake again, focusing on the place where the water and grass are lush and the green vines are entangled." β€œ

"Lord Ouyang!" The other four girls also clenched their fists in unison and pleaded sincerely.

"Don't worry, even if you don't say it, I plan to go to the lake myself today to make a final search!" Ouyang Yi replied.

Considering the cold at the bottom of the valley, the snow quickly asked Ha Yue to get a few more cloaks, so everyone set off.

A group of people came to the lake, and Ouyang Yi personally led the messengers to board the boat to search for the place where the water and grass were lush and the green vines were entangled.

"Xuanshuang, you go and get a small boat, I also want to go to the lake to search," Ru Yan said.

Xuanshuang found two boats, she and Ru Yan, and Hazy Moon in one boat. And the snowfall with the purple wind in a boat.

Standing on the shore can not feel the size of the lake, the boat arrived in the lake only to find that the lake is wide, it seems that the boat and people are so small, and the water and grass in the lake and the green vines on the lake side are so much, but also people can't help but worry, so many green bushes, let alone clean, is to find the past one by one, and it is not a moment and a half to find it all.

Until noon, nothing was found. Except for Ru Yan, who couldn't eat it, everyone else ate some dry food first, and continued to search after eating the dry food.

When Ru Yan's boat reached the big willow tree by the lake, Hazy Moon suddenly shouted: "Look, look what's that?" β€œ

The others looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, there was something wrapped in the green vines under the willow tree and the aquatic plants mixed together.

Suddenly, there was a "plop" sound, and the other people on the boat looked over one after another, only to see that someone had fallen into the lake. It was Ru Yan who fell into the lake, and the discovery of the hazy moon just now made her a little anxious, and she accidentally fell into it.

Hazy Moon on the boat was already scared and cried, Xuanshuang jumped into the lake, grabbed Ru Yan's waist from behind with one hand, paddled the water with the other, rowed to the side of the boat, Hazy Yue wiped a handful of tears, and hurried over to pull Xuanshuang.

Although it was noon, the lake was still very cold, but fortunately, Xuanshuang was watery and saved in time, Ru Yan only choked a few mouthfuls of water, and it was fine, but she was shivering with cold. Xuanshuang and Hazy Moon hurriedly rowed together, rowed the boat to the shore, helped Ruyan ashore, and then quickly raised a fire and wrapped her tightly in a cloak.

Ouyang Yi also came over, and while ordering someone to search for the place where the foreign object had just been found in the hazy moon, he ordered someone to take a single frame to carry Ru Yan to the swallow village to rest.

"No!" Ru Yan reacted very violently, pushed away Ha Yue's support, and stood up with a slight trembling, "If I don't find my brother, I will never leave!" β€œ

Everyone also knew Ru Yan's character, but they couldn't resist her, so they could only burn the fire more vigorously, put a cloak on her, and sit on the shore with Ha Yue to wait, while the others returned to the lake to search.
