Chapter 023: Ambush
In the public office, Governor Liao, Ye Sima and others are in a hurry, and there are really waves of unsettled, the first two cases are not closed, and now there is one more homicide.
The deceased was one of the officials arranged by the Liao Governor to go to Nanshi to secretly search for the man with the portrait.
The official was found stabbed several times and died for about an hour.
Governor Liao leaned back in his chair, shook his head, and said helplessly, "The emperor should be impatient, but I don't know who will be sent down from Beijing this time, and how we should explain." ”
Ye Sima, who was standing on the side, was wearing a fine ochre-colored silk round-necked robe, which was specially made for him by his stepwife Cao Shi in the garment workshop, and Ye Sima was very satisfied.
Ye Sima's thumb and index finger inadvertently touched each other, and occasionally his gaze towards Liao Zhifu carried a hint of incomprehensible meaning.
He vaguely noticed that the things that had happened one after another in the past month or so were all connected, and the people behind them were meticulous, and they should not be the actions of ordinary bandits.
When the sky falls, there is still a high top, Ye Sima does not plan to force his head to solve the case for the time being, he only needs to hide behind the Liao Governor's Mansion and pretend to be in a hurry, if the emperor really sends someone down...... He naturally knows what to do, and maybe he can take this opportunity to move to the stumbling block of Liao Governor's Mansion and be promoted to three levels.
……
Nanshi Shifangkou.
After getting into the carriage, Mo Qi let go of Ye Tingyao's hand and said lightly, "Sit down." ”
Ye Tingyao is still in a trance, someone's palm is quite warm, this will let go and feel cold, it is cold before summer, Ye Tingyao snorted, and the cool breeze blew into her heart.
The carriage avoided the crowd and slowly drove out of Lianzhou City, Ye Tingyao secretly glanced at Mo Qi, and saw that someone didn't mean to talk to her, so she had to lean back and pout, "The weather is so good today, how can there be a murder case, I don't want Lianzhou City to be so poor in public security, ...... in broad daylight"
Her cheap dad is the top three magistrates in Lianzhou County, think about it, how can that useless, selfish and ruthless cheap dad really work for the well-being of the people of Lianzhou County, but it is just relying on the emperor to be far away.
"A small people." Because of holding Ye Tingyao's hand, Mo Qi's heart was still like a deer, and in order to hide his excitement and shyness, he could only pretend to disdain to discuss the affairs of the official office with a woman like Ye Tingyao with long hair and short knowledge.
"What's the matter, a small people don't talk about state affairs?" Ye Tingyao's heart was aroused, "This state affair really has to be discussed by the small people, otherwise the emperor will sooner or later become a faint monarch who closes his ears and hides his eyes." ”
Mo Qi's face was a little dark, glared at Ye Tingyao, and warned Ye Tingyao, "You really dare to say that if you are in the capital, hum, your ten heads are not enough to cut off." ”
Ye Tingyao blinked, she almost forgot that this was in the feudal ancient times when the monarchy was dictatorship and there were clear classes, and he smiled, "Yes, what you said is reasonable, I must be careful in the future, the emperor can't talk about it, but the local officials of Lianzhou County can always complain a few words." ”
Mo Qi was sure that Ye Tingyao's mouth would not be happy if he didn't smash it, so he could only grieve his ears. Mo Qi nodded in embarrassment, "You complain." ”
Xu was stimulated several times in Nanshi one after another, and Ye Tingyao opened his mouth as if he was opening the floodgates, "Mo Qi, do you remember humiliating me and Xiaoyue's two young ladies in Silk Village a few days ago." ”
Mo Qi thought about it sideways, "I don't remember." ”
He was telling the truth, he only vaguely remembered the shopkeeper lady of the silk village, as for what Mo Yao said, it seemed that she was full of vulgar powder, and he didn't even bother to look at it.
“……”
Although he was speechless, Ye Tingyao was very satisfied with Mo Qi's answer, and said to himself, "Those two young ladies, one is from the Liao prefect's family, and the other is from Ye Sima's family, I don't know how the Liao prefect is, but his daughter, because she is the prefect's young lady, has received a lot of red gold jewelry and expensive silk brocade from the other family, which is a bribe in disguise." As for Ye Sima's family, it is even worse, Ye Sima's original wife left early, and the stepwife and stepwife daughter who married later were very vicious, and almost all of Ye Sima's family's food and clothing came from the original wife's dowry, but Ye Sima was still abused by his stepwife The children of the original wife, and now the eldest young master of the Ye family was poisoned and stupid, and the eldest lady of the Ye family was ...... Killed. ”
Ye Tingyao gritted her teeth and cursed herself, she didn't plan to let Mo Qi know about this at first, after all, Mo Qi's ability is limited, and it will be very tiring to really help her carry this basket of bullshit.
But maybe it was because Mo Qi's warm palms warmed her cold and fragile that Ye Tingyao suddenly hoped that Mo Qi could understand her, she didn't ask for more, as long as Mo Qi reprimanded the Ye family for being cruel with her, it would be fine.
"You say, people like them, who can't even manage the inner house well and are so cruel to their relatives, can benefit the local people? Can you share the emperor's worries? Isn't it particularly bad. Ye Tingyao was filled with indignation, and her hat became bigger and bigger.
Mo Qi glanced at Ye Tingyao deeply, "It's really that bad?" ”
Ye Tingyao nodded vigorously, "It's very bad, and the real situation is even more outrageous." ”
"How do you know?" Mo Qi's eyes looked ahead, his gaze was far away, and his expression was indifferent. Others couldn't see his joy and anger, if it weren't for the hand holding the reins, because he used too much force and showed a few green tendons, Ye Tingyao would have misunderstood that he was an indifferent person.
Ye Tingyao's eyes rolled around, and she said vaguely, "Most of them were told by Xiaoyue, and these things are not very secret in Lianzhou County, and they are well-known." ”
"A household name?" Mo Qi sneered, "Let my stepwife poison my eldest son and kill my daughter-in-law, I'm afraid the black gauze hat on Ye Sima's head won't be able to wear it." ”
A man is a man, and it's boring to pull it back and forth, and then to be an official. Ye Tingyao crooked her mouth, bored looking at the scenery on both sides of the mountain road, fortunately, most of the hours had passed, and she would arrive at the fence village in a while, and she could play with her beloved dumb and little gourd again.
A dark cloud drifted by, obscuring the half-cloudy sun, and the branches and leaves of the sloped mountain forest rustled together. Ye Tingyao squinted at the past, and before she could react, Mo Qi skewed the carriage to the left and pulled the reins again......
If Mo Qi hadn't hugged Ye Tingyao's small waist in time, Ye Tingyao would have been thrown out and smashed into cakes.
At the moment when the carriage was about to overturn, Kankan stopped on the edge of the cliff.
Ye Tingyao was stunned, dizzy and dizzy, only to hear Mo Qi say in her ear, "You hide carefully." ”
Then Mo Qi jumped up with a light flick and fought with the four men in black.
This was the first time Ye Tingyao had seen a real gun in battle in ancient times, and he almost exclaimed.
Mo Qi danced with a wooden sword, and he could see that the four black-clothed men were not masters, but only had a brute strength.
In a hidden high ground in the inclined forest, a man in a dark robe was quietly watching the fight on the mountain road, and behind him there were three black-clothed men standing upright, the sharp sword in the black-clothed man's hand was obviously quenched with poison, glowing with a faint purple light......
