Two days passed unhurriedly, and half of the days at Bodhi Temple had passed.

In the afternoon, Lou Yiyi and others were drinking tea in the maple forest as usual, but unexpectedly, they were found by several catchers.

"Miss Lou, excuse me, we are from the Yamen, and there are some things I want to know from you and a few of your friends." The leader of the hunt said respectfully.

"People from the Yamen?" Lou Yiyi glanced at a few quick catches suspiciously, and turned her head to look at Lou Jinjue, Leng Yan and the others. "I haven't broken the law lately, have I?"

Lou Jinjue shook her head at her.

"That's why you're breaking the law?" Lou Yiyi glanced at everyone and asked.

Several people also shook their heads blankly. Qi Qi looked at the leader of the catcher.

Catch fast: ......

A prince, an eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion, a second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and two of them are from Taifu Mansion, and he can't afford to offend any of them. The only girl who seems to have no background, she is full of sword energy, she is not easy to mess with at first glance, and she looks at him like this one by one, and his pressure is a little great.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, the leader quickly explained: "That's right, this morning, we found a corpse in the woods next to the town, and it was confirmed that the deceased's name was Chen Youyu, who was still in the woods with his head smashed. We found out that you had contact with him two days ago, so we came to inquire about the situation. ”

"I see." Lou Yiyi's face was enlightened. "This Chen Youyu is dead, it is definitely retribution."

"That's right." Xia Jiangwan almost didn't applaud. "It's better to die than to be innocent."

"Who is the murderer, I really want to thank him." Chu Fei said behind Xia Jiangxuan.

Catchers: ......

It's okay to give some face, we're still here, is it really okay for you to blatantly discuss the dead like this?

Noticing the faces of the catchers, Lou Jinjue hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, we did contact him." ”

Then, I told Pingniang and Guoguo about it with the catchers.

The leader nodded quickly, which was similar to what they had investigated.

"We have been staying in the Bodhi Temple for the past few days, going to the main hall in the morning, and drinking tea here in the afternoon, and the monks of the Bodhi Temple can testify." Lou Yiyi said to the catchers. "There shouldn't be time to kill."

"We know that." The leading catcher hurriedly stated his position. "We found unused silver taels on the body of the deceased Chen Youyu, according to the investigation, it was given to him by Miss Lou and others, and we came to verify it."

"It's for us." Chu Fei generously admitted. "I gave one hundred and fifty taels and bought Ping Niang and Guoguo. One hundred taels and he still had gambling debts, and fifty taels were used by him. ”

"Then can you take us to meet Chen Youyu's wife and daughter?" The leader pleaded again.

Before coming, their county magistrate specially instructed that these people on the mountain were all dressed in micro-clothes, and when they met, they should be regarded as not knowing their identities and should not salute in a high-profile manner.

"Yes." Lou Yiyi glanced back at a few people, and saw that none of them had any intention of objecting, so she no longer hesitated to agree. "It is the duty of every good citizen to cooperate with the Yamen in handling the case."

"Thank you." Seeing that Lou Yiyi and the others were so low-key and easy-going, and they cooperated with them so much, several catchers were instantly happy in their hearts, and they were ready to be scolded before they came.

I said hello to the host briefly, saying that I might not be able to go back to the temple tonight, and I won't be able to carry out my work normally tomorrow.

Although it was a pity, Gokata also knew the priority of the matter, and agreed after a little hesitation.

The leave was successful, Lou Yiyi was extremely happy, and along the way, chatted happily with the catcher.

The leader of the catcher is called Feng Hu, and he has been doing fast hunting for more than ten years, and he has been maintaining law and order here, and the people in the town basically know him.

"Feng Zhutou, how is your treatment for catching fast? Busy? Lou Yiyi asked curiously.

"It's fine." Feng Hu replied respectfully. "Usually when there is no case, I am idle, and when I have a case, I will be busy."

"Are there many cases?" Lou Yiyi asked.

"There aren't a few a year, and most of them are thieves." Feng Hu replied.

"That's a good feeling." Lou Yiyi nodded. "Not only does he have face, he looks upright, but he is also an iron rice bowl."

"Awards, awards." Feng Hu didn't think his job was any better, but when Lou Yiyi said this, it seemed really good.

"Don't be modest, do things for the country and serve the people, no matter how big the official position is, it is honorable." Lou Yiyi praised.

After listening to Lou Yiyi's words, the catchers straightened their waists, and everyone was happy in their hearts.

After chatting all the way, it was almost late in the evening before the group arrived in town.

Lou Jinjue led a few people to the noodle restaurant opened by Ping Niang.

"Ping Niang, we've come to see you." Far away, Chu Fei's voice reached the noodle restaurant, and he turned his head to Lou Yiyi and said: "Ping Niang's noodle making skills, that is really first-class, especially delicious." ”

Seeing Lou Yiyi, Ping Niang also seemed extremely happy, and hurriedly greeted: "It's Master Lou who is here, sit down." ”

"This master, the master's name is awkward for me, let's change the name." Lou Yiyi said with a smile.

"Okay." Ping Niang neatly poured tea for everyone. "Then I'll call her Miss Lou."

"As long as it's not Master Lou." Lou Yiyi nodded. "This is Feng Zhutou, he has something to ask you."

"Feng catches the head." Ping Niang greeted Lou Yiyi's words stiffly. "Inside, please."

Ordinary people will be a little nervous when they are approached by officials, and Ping Niang is no different.

"Don't be nervous, we're just asking a few questions." It seemed that he was used to such a situation, Feng Zhutou said skillfully.

"You ask." Ping Niang looked at Lou Yiyi, as if she had found the backbone, although she was afraid, she still poured tea for Feng Zhutou and others.

Feng Zhutou took a sip of tea and said, "Do you know Chen Youyu?" ”

"Yes." Ping Niang looked at Lou Yiyi again. "He used to be my father-in-law, but we have divorced, signed and divorced the kind, and he also sold me and my daughter to Miss Lou, there is a deed of sale, and my daughter and I have nothing to do with him now."

"Don't be nervous, we know that." Feng Zhutou said calmly. "We just want to know if Chen Youyu has any enemies or anything like that, or what grudges he has had with people, and he was found dead in the woods this morning."

"Chen Youyu is dead?" Hearing this news, Ping Niang was obviously very shocked, her pupils widened a lot, and she looked at Feng Zhutou in a daze.

Seeing Ping Niang's reaction, Feng Zhutou had a rough calculation, and nodded at Ping Niang with certainty.

Realizing her gaffe, Ping Niang sorted out her shock a little, and said: "I don't know if Chen Youyu has any enemies, he usually doesn't stay at home, he stays in casinos and taverns, and even if he goes home, he just plays drunk and beats people, and he doesn't communicate with me very much." ”

"And what were you doing from last night to this morning?" Although the suspicion of Ping Niang has basically been ruled out, it is still necessary to ask responsibly.

"When I was about to close the door last night, I met a few of Xu Erye's subordinates, so I said hello, and when I saw that they hadn't eaten yet, I stayed for a while and made them a few bowls of noodles. When they finished eating, it was not early, and they sent me back for fear that I would be in danger on the way home alone. I came early this morning to open the door, and it was a busy day, and people who came and went could testify. ”

It is indeed a little far away from the place of the crime, and a weak woman in Ping Niang can't beat a big man to death and drag him to the woods, Feng Zhutou already believes in Ping Niang's words.

"Second Master Xu's subordinates?" Feng Zhutou asked.

"Yes." Ping Niang nodded. "Miss Toro's blessing, after Second Master Xu learned about our mother and daughter, he not only helped us find a house and shop, but also took special care of us."

Immediately thinking of something, Ping Niang hurriedly explained: "It can't be Xu Erye's subordinates, they are usually only responsible for debts at most." ”

"We'll have to ask for the specifics." Feng Zhutou didn't believe too much in Ping Niang's judgment, and got up to go to the gambling house to find Second Master Xu.

Ping Niang panicked instantly.

"It really has nothing to do with them, Second Master Xu's subordinates are very good, and they usually take care of the people around them."

"It's okay, Ping Niang." Lou Yiyi couldn't stand it anymore and comforted her. "Just go and ask, if you don't feel at ease, let's go over and have a look."

"This ......" Ping Niang hesitated, Miss Lou had already helped her a lot, she really didn't want to bother her anymore because of her own affairs, but Second Master Xu also helped her, and she still affected him now. Trouble Miss Lou, if there is a place for me, even if I fight for my life, I will do it. ”

"It's serious, it's serious." Lou Yiyi stepped forward to help Ping Niang, who was kneeling on the ground. "Second Master Xu is also my friend, there is no trouble or trouble."

Seeing that it was a little late, Lou Yiyi and the others decided to divide the troops into two ways, Chu Fei and Lin Qianyi took Xia Jiangwan to the inn to book a room first, and Lou Yiyi, Leng Yan and Lou Jinjue accompanied Feng Zhutou to Xu Erye to investigate the situation.

When Xu Erye heard the report of his subordinates, he happily came out to greet him in person.

"Hahaha, Sister Lou, I thought of you just now, no, people are here. Hurry up inside, please. ”

Lou Yiyi obviously hasn't fully adapted to Second Master Xu's enthusiasm, but this does not prevent her from having a good impression of Second Master Xu.

"Second Brother Xu, I'm here to disturb you again."

"If you don't bother, just come if you have something." Second Master Xu said briskly, and was a little puzzled when he saw Feng Zhutou behind Lou Yiyi. "This ......"

"That's right." Afraid that Xu Erye would misunderstand, Lou Yiyi hurriedly explained. "That Chen Youyu was killed this morning, doesn't he often come to the gambling house? Feng Zhutou wanted to come here to find out about the situation, but Ping Niang was not at ease, so I followed over to see if I could help. ”

"I see." Xu Erye relaxed at this time. "I thought that my subordinates had committed something and were approached by Feng Zhutou. However, this Chen Youyu is actually dead, it is very happy, he died well, he died well! ”

Feng Zhutou: ......

He suddenly understood why Lou Yiyi could become good friends with Xu Erye.
