Chapter 140: Self-defeating
The file room of the Zhaozhou Yamen is not as easy to enter as the Yunzhou Yamen, probably because the state yamen and the official residence of Zhizhou are together.
And what surprised Ouyang Kai was that the file room in the Zhaozhou Yamen was actually manned, and he thought it might be because he didn't understand the operation of officialdom.
Since eating at noon, Ouyang Kai has been guarding outside the yamen, and it is too risky for Yunyulou to rashly break into the back kitchen.
After observing the people in Yunyulou for most of the day, Ouyang Kai did not find anything abnormal about him, and his force was just ordinary, and he did not see anything extraordinary, it could not be the person who instantly put down Shi Niang, but he was just a character on the surface.
There is still more than half a month before the full moon, and the Yunyu Building has been startled by grass last night, so there should be no action during this time.
Although it is possible to obtain the information of the mastermind behind the scenes, if you can't get it, then the clue of Yunyulou will be broken.
So in order to ensure that the black hand can be pulled out, Ouyang Kai doesn't want to take risks, he has to smooth out the clue of Yunyulou first.
Although there is a relatively large grasp of the relationship between Yunyulou and the Panlong Sect, there may be some other clues to be found from the old historical cases.
A few years ago, so many catchers died bizarrely, judging from the beggar's leader's statement, it was really too bizarre, Yunyulou was in a hurry, Ouyang Kai felt that he could open an opening in this case.
When it was time to release the office, the people in the file room had no intention of coming out, and Ouyang Kai felt that there was no chance to enter the file room during the day today.
But as soon as Ouyang Kai left, the people in the file room came out of the room with a large pile of files.
At night, Ouyang Kai, who was dressed in black, successfully entered the file room, but as soon as he found the file, he was dumbfounded.
In the past ten years, all the dossiers have been gone, and after turning over for a long time, there is not a single dossier he wants, and he regrets it, so he shouldn't have left early.
Syllable~
Inadvertently, a dossier fell off the shelf and fell to the floor with a loud sound that stood out in the silence of the night.
"Who! Who's in it? ”
Two yamen guards who were patrolling the night just outside the door heard the noise inside, felt that something was wrong, and shouted towards the inside of the file room.
But after waiting for a long time, neither of them heard another sound from inside the room.
"Did you hear me wrong, where is anyone?"
The other was suspicious of his companion and said that he had not heard a sound coming from inside the room.
"No, there must be, something in the room fell to the floor!"
The man said in a firm tone, trusting his ears quite surely.
"Meow~Meow~"
This file room is really wonderful, Ouyang Kai admired the person who built this room, and he didn't even install a window in the room!
There is only one entrance and exit in the entire volume room, which is the door of the room, and there are only some lighting holes the size of bowls, Ouyang Kai can only pretend to be a cat to dispel the suspicions of the two people outside the door.
"Oh, so there's a cat in there."
After hearing the cat's meow, the man suddenly realized that it was not strange for the cat to touch something on the ground.
"Look, I'll just say it, Lord Situ just left, it's still the door I closed, where will someone run in."
The person next to him echoed and said, he closed the door himself, and before closing it, he had confirmed that there was no one inside.
"It's me who is too worried, the people of the Ge family have made a lot of trouble during this time, I am too sensitive, let's go, go to the front yard of the yamen to have a look."
The person who heard the sound of falling things explained to himself that during this time, he helped the Ge family monitor other people's homes, and some of the sounds could make him feel strange.
Ouyang Kai in the file room breathed a sigh of relief, those two people were leaving.
"No, Madame is allergic to cats, all the cats near the yamen have been driven away by adults, where will cats enter the yamen?"
After walking a few steps, the person who closed the door suddenly reacted that there could be no cat in the yamen.
"Yes, yes, I forgot if you don't say it, let's go, go in and have a look!"
The person who noticed the sound first also said with certainty that they had just focused on why the sound was making and didn't pay attention to what had knocked things over.
Hearing this, Ouyang Kai secretly said that it was not good, but he didn't expect that he was self-defeating.
Looking at the layout of the file room, Ouyang Kai didn't find a suitable hiding place, this room was too small, there were only a few shelves, what was in the room, and the two of them could see it at a glance as soon as they came in.
Squeak~
The door of the scroll room was pushed open from the outside by two people, and the two men walked in with torches, and at a glance they saw the scroll that had fallen to the ground.
Looking down the shelves along the scrolls that had fallen on the ground, I didn't see anything unusual.
"You go over there, I'll go this way!"
The two men looked at each other and quickly assigned their respective areas to inspect.
Ouyang Kai looked at the direction in which the two of them were walking, and Ouyang Kai had a plan.
Carefully pry off a small piece of wood on the beam with a dagger, and Ouyang Kai played with it in his hand,
At the right time, he ejected the small piece of wood and hit the table on the left, bouncing off into the knee of the man walking towards the table.
The man who was hit in the knee stumbled and fell to the ground,
The torch in his hand came out of his hand and hit the table not far in front of him, and then turned over and fell next to the foot of the table.
The foot of the table met the torch and slowly began to burn.
"Ouch!"
The person who fell to the ground just hit his head on the table, and he screamed in pain.
"What are you doing?"
When the people over there heard such a big movement here, they came over to check the situation, and found that the table had begun to catch fire, and hurriedly beckoned the people who were moaning on the ground to get up and put out the fire.
"It's on fire, don't be stupid on the ground, hurry up and help put out the fire, if you burn the scroll, you and I don't want to live!"
As he spoke, he immediately took off his clothes and slapped the table that was on fire.
With the combined efforts of the two, the fire on the table was quickly extinguished, and nothing else was burned out except the table.
However, the faces of the two people who put out the fire were already covered with soot, and their hair was also yellowed.
"What are you doing, how did you burn the table?"
The man who ran over from the other side questioned the person who fell, but fortunately, when he put out the fire, he didn't burn anything else except the table, at most, he was scolded by Fan Tong and punished again, even if he lost this errand, he admitted it.
If the file room is burned down, then your own little life will be frozen.
"I didn't know what was going on, but I felt my feet go soft, and I fell, and then I ......."
That person was embarrassed to say it, and he almost made a big mistake by not paying attention to his feet.
"I said earlier that you wouldn't get old and go to the drunken spring building, I don't know moderation, and I almost lost my life......"
I know what kind of urine the person who fell is, and the person who ran over on the other side kept counting him on his mouth.
Ouyang Kai had already left the yamen at this time, and he was sure that he could not only knock that person to the ground, but also keep the two of them busy, and not set the file room on fire.
It was really late, and Ouyang Kai didn't go to the Qianyuan Inn.
He heard two people outside talking about Lord Situ in the file room just now, and knew that it was Situ Jingping who came to Zhaozhou.
In the morning in Yunyulou, the traffic jam that Zhang Jianhao said should be when Situ Jingping entered the city, at that time, no carriages were allowed to rush on the street, and the carriages on the street had to pull over, which was the governor's treatment.
......
Early the next morning, Ouyang Kai took the initiative to go to the Qianyuan Inn, because when he returned to Zhao's house last night, Murong Qianqian told him that Situ Jingping had come to Zhao's house in the morning to look for him.
"Ouyang is here!"
Seeing Ouyang Kai come in, Situ Jingping happily got up to greet him.
"Why did the adults come to Zhaozhou?"
This is Ouyang Kai's doubt, before Situ Jingping and Guo Wei left Yunzhou to go to Jiangzhou to investigate the Panlong Sect, he thought it would take a long time.
"After checking in Jiangzhou for a long time, I received your letter, and after knowing the situation in Jiu'an Mountain, I found that I fell for the Panlong Sect's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.......
After Situ Jingping finished speaking, Ouyang Kai understood the whole story.
After taking out the state order of Jiangzhou, Situ Jingping and Zhou Wei got up and wanted to go back to Yunzhou City to meet Ouyang Kai.
On the way, I received a letter from Yunzhou Qianyuan Inn, saying that Ouyang Kai had gone to Zhaozhou, and I didn't know what the situation was.
After discussing with Guo Wei, Situ Jingping decided to come to Zhaozhou to meet Ouyang Kai.
The line of Zhaozhou was something they hadn't mastered before, Ouyang Kai might have mastered some clues, and he didn't have time to tell himself if it was urgent, just like going to Baihua Valley before.
After coming to Zhaozhou, he knew from the shopkeeper of the Qianyuan Inn that Ouyang Kai had moved to the Zhao family.
immediately secretly went to Zhao's house to find Ouyang Kai, and learned that Ouyang Kai had gone out to investigate the case.
Therefore, he and Guo Wei went to the yamen to carry out his original work first, and then went to Zhao's house to find Ouyang Kai the next day.
"My lord, did you take the files from the Yamen Sect Archives within ten years?"
The ones who were in the file room during the day should be Situ Jingping and Guo Wei, and those files should have been read.
"What, Brother Ziwei and I brought them all back, do you want to see them?"
As soon as Ouyang Kai came up, it was a matter of the sect volume, thinking that there should be something wrong, Situ Jingping replied.
and Guo Wei read the files of the yamen for a day, and swept all the files of the more major cases ten years ago.
Since it was getting late, he brought all the volumes that might be problematic and the volumes within ten years back to the Qianyuan Inn.
"A few years ago, a case related to Yunyulou, several people who investigated Yunyulou died bizarrely, and there are more suspicious points, which may be related to the Panlong Sect, and it may also be related to the Five Poisonous Beasts."
The speculation related to the Five Poisonous Beasts was carefully considered by Ouyang Kai, and he had also consulted with Murong Qianqian last night.
"Are there still two Qincha who have come to Zhaozhou to investigate?"
