"What do I gain by deceiving you both? What is there to deceive about this? ”

Zou Youheng said angrily.

This is a fact, and the Lin and Zhou families proposed to Ye Xiaoyu at the same time, when he first speculated, he was also full of depression, okay?

"I don't know the specifics. The matchmaker who came to the door told me that the Lin family was a marquis or something, and the Zhou family was also a big businessman in Rongzhou City. ”

Ye Xiaoyu said.

The topic was so boring that she wanted to end it quickly and go back to the bedroom for a good nap.

"That ......"

Lin Zucheng didn't know what to say, from the moment he heard "Marquis of the Lin Family", he was basically sure that he didn't run away.

“……”

Seeing Lin Zucheng like this, Zhou Ming first turned his head to look at Zou Youheng, then at Ye Xiaoyu, and finally retracted his gaze to the half-eaten pastry in front of him, how could this be so coincidental?

In winter, the sun sets early, and before we can talk for a while, the shadow of the sun begins to set westward.

Because of Xiaobai, she almost didn't sleep last night, so that now she is groggy and her eyelids weigh a thousand pounds.

"Then, Xiaoyu, you...... Did you say yes? ”

After being in a trance for a long time, Lin Zucheng asked nervously.

If she agreed, then even if this family affair was decided, no matter how reluctant she was, she would still get married.

"Ye Xiaoyu-!"

Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu didn't react for a long time, Zou Youheng roared in her ear.

"Huh?"

Awakened by the sudden sound, Ye Xiaoyu looked dazed. Just now because I was too sleepy. She fell asleep on the table.

"Boss Ye, did you promise the matchmaker?"

Zhou Ming asked.

was yelled at by Zou Youheng just now, Ye Xiaoyu instantly sobered up, full of depression and had nowhere to vent, she decided to tease this group of boys.

She, Ye Xiaoyu, is not that bad, right? Although she herself didn't want to marry the Zhou family or the Lin family at all, it was so obvious that these two people would not be willing to express their reluctance in front of her, which still made her unhappy for a while.

"Do you want me to say yes or not?"

Picking up the milk tea in front of him and taking a sip, Ye Xiaoyu tilted her head and asked.

“……”

The two nervous people on the other side became even more nervous when they heard this question.

How do you ask them to answer such a question, if they directly answer "I don't want to". Ye Xiaoyu is sitting here. It's too faceless to give her; But if you answer "yes", it seems even more wrong. It's only the first time they've officially met today, and saying such things in front of a girl like this will always make people feel squinting. Although the two of them are indeed quite sexy. But these are two different things.

"The so-called friend's wife should not be bullied. We don't dare to ask Boss Ye to agree......"

After a long pause, Zhou Ming spoke, looking up at Zou Youheng as he spoke.

After successfully bringing the conversation to his two brothers. Zou Youheng was leisurely eating the pastries on the plate in front of him, and when he heard this, his movements suddenly stopped.

"Zhou Ming, just forget it yourself, don't get involved with me."

Zou Youheng raised his head and said lightly.

Anyway, it's all unwarranted, he doesn't bother to explain, and he doesn't bother to talk about it.

"You talk slowly, I'm too sleepy, let's go back to my room and rest first."

After yawning several times in a row, Ye Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but say.

At this time, her eyelids were fighting and her spirit was sluggish, and she had no energy to accompany these three people for endless nonsense.

"Eh-Xiaoyu, you haven't sued us yet, do you agree or not?"

Ye Xiaoyu stood up and walked to the back door as she spoke, looking at her back, Lin Zucheng shouted.

"You'll find out when you get home."

Sure enough, things gather like things, and these individuals are just as annoying as Zou Youheng.

The sound of Ye Xiaoyu going upstairs came from the back of the shop, and the three people on the table in the lobby looked at each other, not knowing how to continue the topic.

"Zou Youheng! You are so bad enough to know about it, and you didn't even sue us! It's so messy now!! ”

"Like, did you say you were friends with us?"

After a few sips of milk tea, the war on the table reignited.

"I was just guessing at the time, and it was only after I got Ye Xiaoyu's confirmation just now that I knew it was true, just like you."

Zou Youheng didn't hang up this time.

"And what do you say you're going to do about this?"

Lin Zucheng asked.

"You don't have to do anything, I understand this Ye Xiaoyu, she definitely didn't agree."

Zou Youheng smiled.

If she had already agreed, she wouldn't have been so calm and light-hearted just now.

"What the hell are you ...... with her?"

Zhou Ming had some doubts.

"Nothing. I met her because of Erniang, and she talked about pastries. ”

Zou Youheng's face was calm.

"Then if one of me and Zu Cheng marries her, will you be fine?"

In the evening, the number of customers in the shop began to increase, and Zhou Ming lowered his voice.

"Of course it's okay, what can I do. Originally, it was a very simple relationship, but it was as complicated as you thought. ”

Zou Youheng smiled lightly.

But for some reason, he smiled and smiled, and was a little saddened by the inexplicable feelings that suddenly surged in his heart. Fortunately, I was sad and not seen by others.

Zou Yu has been annoyed by affairs for the past two days, he has been an official for so many years, although he has encountered tricky things, but he has never been as dense as recently, especially the death of prisoners in prison, which has rarely happened before, and even if there is, it is also justified and well-documented. But the recent cases, especially the one that happened today, are not only a large number of people, but also completely inexplicable sudden deaths, and the dead are all businessmen in the city.

The more I thought about it, the tighter Zou Yu's brows became.

"My lord, the warden and the cell boss are here......"

Tie Yi walked in and said.

"Let them in."

Zou Yu turned around and walked to a chair in the middle of the lobby and sat down.

"Meet your lordship."

Warden. The head of the men's prison walked in under the leadership of Tie Yi. Seeing Zou Yu, the two began to fight.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?!"

Zou Yu asked expressionlessly.

This time, ten people died in the prison overnight, and these ten people were not serious felons, all of them were brought back by the city department during the patrol some time ago because of some trivial things, and they could have been released with some bail, but now this happened, and all of these people died in the prison for no reason. If you don't find out and give the people an explanation, even if he Zou Yu has the ability to fly. There is no escape from this.

"Said one by one. The warden came first. ”

Seeing that all three of them didn't speak, Zou Yu said.

"My lord, I was also shocked by this incident. These are the people who do business in our city. Some of them are still big families with heads and faces. They were all fine when I went to prison the day before, how did it happen overnight, from the moment I got the news. I was thinking, but no matter how I thought about it, I still couldn't come up with a clue. ”

The warden said slowly.

But what he said had the same effect as what he didn't.

"Have you done it?"

Zou Yu asked.

"He did, but he didn't find anything on them."

The warden replied.

The bodies of ten people were placed side by side in the inner chamber next to the cell, just like Yizhuang, which was shocking.

"Cell boss, have you come to visit the prison these days?"

Zou Yu looked at the cell head standing next to him and asked.

"Back to my lord, no. According to the rules, you can't visit the prison without your permission. ”

The cell boss bowed his head and replied.

Although there is such a big incident, there is Zou Yu in the way, and he just needs to bite all the qiē according to the rules.

"Stand down."

Looking at these people, Zou Yu said lightly.

Since you can't ask, don't waste any more time.

"Who else has the key to the inner cell of the cell?"

After the three of them went out, Zou Yu looked at Tie Yi and asked.

In order to prevent the corpses of those people from being in trouble, he asked Tie Yi to forge a big lock as soon as he got the news, and locked the door after the corpses moved into the inner room. The government is so big, no one can be completely sure that there are no people with ulterior motives in it.

"The old lock has been replaced, and now only you have the key."

Tie Yi replied.

"You go and get the eldest young master for me."

Zou Yu said to Tie Yi.

Although he already vaguely knew in his heart who was behind this matter, it didn't mean anything, the key was to ask for evidence, without evidence, anyone could say it, anyone could argue it, just like a shrew quarreling on the streets, a battle of tongues has no meaning.

*

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

Zou Youheng walked in from outside the house, with an unknown expression.

After leaving Ye Xiaoyu's shop yesterday, the three of them went to a small teahouse on East Street, and sat down until midnight, he only lay down on the bed in the early hours of this morning, so when Tie Yi came to call him at home, he was sleeping on the bed with his head covered.

As soon as he heard that it was Zou Yu looking for him, Zou Youheng instantly fell asleep, immediately sat up from the bed, quickly dressed and washed, and then followed Tie Yi to the yamen.

"Well, there's something for you to do."

Zou Yu said with a calm face.

Looking at this expression, Zou Youheng didn't speak, just quietly waited for Zou Yu's next words.

"Tie Yi, you tell him the specific situation."

To Zou Youheng's surprise, Zou Yu turned around and went out after saying this.

"Is something wrong? Big Brother Tie Yi? ”

After Zou Yu left, Zou Youheng asked cautiously.

Just now he carefully recalled his appearance in the past few days, all the qiē were normal, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so what was the reason for calling him here today?

"Something is wrong."

Closing the door of the room casually, Tie Yi walked in and said.

“？”

Zou Youheng didn't understand it even more.

"Ten people died in the cell this morning."

"What...... Miscellaneous! What?! ”

Hearing this, Zou Youheng almost jumped up from his chair. (To be continued......)
