The Yuan's courtyard was in flames, and the county government three miles away only got the news after half a cup of tea, not to mention the post house within half a mile?

In fact, Su You has been a little tossing and turning since he came back from the Yuan's Courtyard, and at this time, the best way to vent his excess energy is of course on the woman's belly.

Su You and Lai Yanbei talked on the bed, and when they were about to fight, they faintly saw a fire flickering on the window paper.

"Huh." Su You let out a low snort, and then let go of his wife, who was immersed in desire.

"What's wrong?" Lai Yanbei felt a little strange about Su You, who dropped the chain at the critical moment, and then turned his head to look out the window; There is also a high wall of the post house outside the window, and it is certainly impossible for Su You and Lai Yanbei to see where the firelight originated, but it is not difficult to guess.

Su You and Lai Yanbei invariably whispered, "Yuan's Courtyard? ”

After Su You said about the Yuan's Courtyard, he thought of his subordinates, so he sat up and said, "I'll go to see them, they must have been insulted by me, so they retaliated." ”

Lai Yanbei nodded, but grabbed Su You and said, "It must have been done by Wang Bodang and others, and on the way back, I felt that they would not give up." However, their loyalty is commendable, but this trend cannot be long-lasting. ”

Su You smiled while getting dressed, "I know what you mean, as a high-ranking official, the weapon in my hand is the law. If I encourage the Assassins, where will the law be? If I don't respect the law, who else can I restrict? ”

"It's good that the husband understands this principle, but the concubine is too worried." Lai Yanbei smiled and sat up to get dressed.

Su You held her down, "There are some people you can't cure without special means, and I'm not a master of following the rules; Don't get up, sleep more, this night is enough to toss. ”

Where to come to Yanbei? I still got dressed quickly.

Wang Bodang and Zhai asked the two of them to return to the house and Lu Zhongsu and his son were unfortunately not catching the assassin, but they heard a slight sound of footsteps outside the window.

"Who?" Wang Bodang let out a low sigh and grabbed the bow and arrow that he had placed in his hand.

"Cough" Su You faked a cough, and his footsteps did not mean to stop in the slightest.

"Yes, sir." Lu Zhongsu hurriedly suppressed Wang Bodang's bow and arrows, and Lu Sheng quickly got up and opened the door.

Su You and Lai Yanbei walked into the house, looking at the embarrassed faces of Wang Bodang and the others in the house, and asked knowingly, "You still haven't slept so late?" What are some interesting topics to talk about? Can I participate? ”

Lu Zhongsu and the others were afraid of making Su You angry if they told the truth, and they felt sorry for Su You if they lied, and several people looked at each other, all with unnatural expressions.

Su You didn't want to play dumb riddles with them, so he asked straight to the point, "You did the fire in the Yuan Clan's Courtyard?" ”

Everyone didn't expect Su You to be so direct, but they suddenly became relaxed, as the saying goes, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, anyway, he also knows, what to do.

Seeing that Su You's face didn't seem to be unhappy, Zhai Rang immediately smiled and said, "After returning to the post station, we couldn't help but be indignant when we talked about Yuan Shangliu's rudeness; Thinking that he has come so far tonight, it is just because he has a crossbow team in his hand. Then we had a discussion, and we discussed that if he didn't have this crossbow team, he would be nothing more than a toothless tiger."

Su You nodded lightly, they went to kill people and set fires, and it was really the set of "monarchs and ministers humiliated".

Seeing that Su You didn't speak, Uncle Wang continued, "Of course, an important purpose of me and Mr. Xu's night visit to the Yuan Clan's courtyard is to find out the people who dare to assassinate Mr. Wang; Unfortunately, we didn't achieve this goal. ”

Su You didn't understand Wang Bodang's words for a while, and asked with some disappointment, "You just set a fire and came back?" ”

Zhai Rang shook his head and said lightly, "As soon as we sneaked into the courtyard, we ran into Yuan Shangliu who came out of the firewood room, and then Bodang gave him an arrow; Then we confronted the crossbowmen, and if it weren't for the fact that we couldn't wipe them out as much as we could, we wouldn't have thought of the idea of igniting a fire."

Hearing this, Su You raised his hand to make a stop gesture, and asked in a deep voice, "Wait, what did you just say, Yuan Shangliu came out of the firewood room"

Wang Bodang seemed to have just remembered something at this time, stomped his feet and said regretfully, "Yes, why didn't we think about why he went to the firewood room just now?" What the gentleman is trying to say is that the wounded assassin is probably hiding in the firewood room? ”

Without waiting for Su You to answer, Zhai Rang shook his head and said, "Probably not, I remember that most of the firewood and grass in the firewood room have been emptied by me."

Lu Sheng said without a teacher, "What if there is a cave under the firewood house?" ”

Su You looked at Lu Sheng and nodded, after all, he is a person who likes to listen to stories, and his imagination is really good; Zhai Rang listened to Lu Sheng's words, and he also secretly regretted it, and his face suddenly turned gray.

Su You was a little regretful that he didn't catch the assassin, but he quickly realized that this was not the focus of their trip, and then asked Zhai Rang, "You just said that you set the fire in order to completely annihilate them?" You killed all the people in that courtyard? ”

Wang Bodang shook his head, "Except for a few innocent women and the old janitor. ”

Su You didn't expect that they could still take care of the innocent when they were angry, so he immediately made eye contact with Yanbei, and then a rare smile appeared on his face.

Wang Bodang felt that Su You's smile at the moment was a little weird, and he planned to admit his mistake quickly, "Sir, we"

"You're doing a good job, so how can I blame you? But if there is such a thing again, would it be better to discuss it with me? After Su You said this, he asked carefully, "You have left a living mouth, but you can leave clues?" ”

Zhai Rang and Wang Bodang glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"Okay, I can't sleep tonight anyway, let's go to the Yuan Villa now, and then go to the county office." After Su You said this, he said to Lu Zhong again, "You call everyone up, it's hard work, but I promise that they will be able to sleep after dawn, and they can sleep for two days in a row." ”

Lu Zhongsu nodded in agreement, and Lu Sheng and the others were also eager to try, although they didn't know what Su You's next step was.

But it is not difficult to guess that it must be a big action, a big scene.

Su You also turned around and returned to the house, and with the help of Lai Yanbei, he put on the purple official uniform of the imperial doctor for the first time.

The movement of Lu Zhongsu's more than 100 people getting up and gathering at the same time naturally woke up the dozen or so officials and guards guarding this post house, although they were very reluctant to get up at this time, but after faintly seeing that Su You was also in the courtyard, they had no choice but to make it difficult.

The leading official couldn't help but tremble when he saw Su You dressed so neatly for the first time, but he could only step forward and beckon, "Su Yushi, who are you?" ”

"Don't you hear the barking of dogs all over the city? Look over there," Su Youshou pointed in the direction of the Yuan Clan's courtyard, where the fire had not yet been extinguished.

"It seems to be running out of water over there." The little official nodded, but said in his heart, "So what, it's about me?" ”

Su You swore and said, "I don't know if Zhang Yuanjun has been at the scene in person, but as the parents of the people, how can this official not care about their livelihood?" You're not going to hide when you see something, are you? ”

The petty official puffed up his chest, "Of course." Although the lower officials are humble and light, they also have a heart for the people. ”

"I can see this, follow the officer." Su You nodded with satisfaction, and gave an order with vigor as he raised the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand.

After everyone followed Su You, after walking out of the post station, they went to the Yuan Villa in a majestic manner.

If Zhang Guoli hadn't deliberately let Song Hao change his route, he was afraid that Zhang Mo, who was lying on the stretcher, would inevitably have to meet Su You, but now they seemed to be playing hide and seek.

As soon as Zhang Mo's front foot was carried away by several of Song Hao's personal soldiers, Su You walked into the Yuan Villa with his back foot.

When Song Hao was directing more than a dozen officers and soldiers to clean up the rubble and stack the corpses that were burned to the point of not being human, when he suddenly turned around, he saw a large group of people walking into the courtyard with torches, and the one in front of him wearing a purple robe and holding the sword of the Son of Heaven was not Su You, but who was it?

Song Hao was stunned at first, and Su You's appearance at this time was as strange as finding Zhang Xin's son Zhang Mo in the cave just now.

But he still had to step forward and salute, "Su Yushi, the lower officials are polite." ”

Su You nodded, helped him for a while, and asked knowingly, "What's the situation here?" ”

Before his words fell, the old man who was guarding the door rushed towards Su You as if he had encountered a real murderer, and howled, "It's you, it must be you." It was you who killed the third son, and it was you who burned this courtyard! ”

Song Hao was immediately taken aback, but he still reflexively grabbed the old man who was guarding the door, and looked at Su You a little blankly.

Su You smiled and said with a freehand expression, "We are familiar with each other, but you are so indiscriminate, I can sue you for slander." ”

"Su Yushi is very familiar with this old man?" Song Hao was immediately stunned, as if he was a second monk, looking at Su You for a while, and then at the old janitor who was still holding his collar.

Su You didn't explain, but asked Song Haodao, "Something so big, won't Zhang Yuanjun come?" I heard that this is another courtyard of Yuan Neishi, and the third prince of Yuan is in this courtyard, is he okay? ”

Yuan San Gongzi? Song Hao's heart suddenly sudden, why haven't I thought about this question all this time?

This is actually to blame Zhang Guoli and Zhang Mo's appearance, as soon as they appeared, Song Hao's normal thinking was disrupted, and the old man at the gate was talking nonsense by his side from time to time, and he actually forgot the most critical question.

Yuan San Gongzi, are you okay?

Thinking of the third prince of Yuan, Song Hao still asked Su You head-on, "How does Su Yushi know about this third prince of Yuan?" How did you suddenly appear here? ”

Su You said with some annoyance, "General Song doesn't know that this official was assassinated in the post house an hour ago. ”

"And this? It was the dereliction of duty of the lower officials. Song Hao hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, there was such a big loophole in the security of Pengcheng County, and he could not blame his duties.

Su You snorted and continued, "Later, with the help of several officials from the post house, this official tracked down here, and I would have been ninety percent sure of catching the fugitive assassin, but the third prince of Yuan had some disagreements with me as early as when he was in the Eastern Capital, and he would rather harbor the assassin than cooperate with me." ”

Song Hao nodded, but he didn't dare to express any opinion, the contradiction between Su You and Yuan San Gongzi was not something that people of his level could manage.

After Su You said this, he smiled unscrupulously, "In the face of the third prince of Yuan's insistence, I can only retreat helplessly, but I just returned to the post house and saw a fire here." To tell you the truth, I went and returned, originally wanting to come back to see the jokes of Yuan San Gongzi. He must have never heard the story of "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf", haha. ”

Song Hao was speechless for a while, he couldn't imagine that Su You was such a vulgar person.

But vulgarity is not vulgarity, it is also the freedom of others, isn't it?
