The sound of horses' hooves shattered, Ye Yingwu restrained his mount in front of the county government, and the horse man stood up, looking up to the sky and neighing. The armor soldier who had been waiting here for a long time hurriedly ran over, Ye Yingwu casually handed over the reins of the horse to him, and walked directly into the gate of the county office.

Looking at the news coming from all directions, Lu Xiufu was already anxious, no matter what, he had the color of a Great Song Dynasty civil official, he was okay to talk clearly, and it was still immature to deal with some government affairs, but Ye Yingwu was not very worried about this, after all, Lu Xiufu still had real talent and learning, and it was good to hone more.

"Envoy." When Lu Xiufu saw Ye Yingwu coming in, he hurriedly stood up.

There are already a lot of grievances piled up on his desk, if it weren't for the temporary officials of the Tianwu Army who came to beat the Dengwen drum to temporarily invite them to the wing room to rest for a while, I'm afraid that Ye Yingwu wouldn't even be able to enter the main hall of the county government.

"What did Old Man Zhang ask about?" Although Ye Yingwu's mouth was dry, he couldn't care about drinking water, so that his voice was a little hoarse.

Lu Xiufu didn't care about his image for a long time, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and nodded with a little relief: "Old man Zhang is still knowledgeable, as long as we can come up with Jia Yufeng's incriminating evidence, he will definitely help us, and he will also contact several big families in the county." ”

Frowning, Ye Yingwu said coldly: "This old fox, in fact, still wants to be his wall grass with peace of mind, and when we take out the evidence of Jia Yufeng's crime, the overall situation has been decided, and they can only be regarded as falling into the well, but it is to make Jia Yufeng's death a little more miserable, but if we can't come up with evidence, I don't believe that these old foxes will move." ”

Lu Xiufu took a breath of cool air, and then realized that he was indeed almost fooled: "Then do you have to go again?" If we don't let him speak, won't our side actually suffer? ”

"There are too many things here, you and I can't be separated, and you don't have to look up to him so much, let Yang Bao go and tell him, 'What to do He thinks about it himself, this official doesn't want to take Tianwu Army to visit', and also, didn't Jia Yufeng want to come to see Lao Tzu, send someone to tell him, busy, don't see! Also, these grievances are already weighty enough, the order, the whole city is a big Suo Jia Yufeng's cronies, you and I will go to search Jiafu, all the prisoners in the prison will be fed first, as long as it is mentioned in this grievance petition, they will be raised first! Ye Yingwu frowned and ordered one after another, his eyes blazing.

Hearing Ye Yingwu's order, Lu Xiufu opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything. And Yang Bao behind Ye Yingwu and several heralds who were waiting quietly no longer hesitated, and quickly turned around.

After watching Yang Bao and them leave, Lu Xiufu pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Envoy, isn't it a bit reckless to do this, I can't be sure that these grievances are true and reliable, and where are so many prisoners put forward?" ”

Ye Yingwu looked around, it was already empty, and he smiled coldly: "It is estimated that if you don't investigate thoroughly, all the grievances will not be able to find out whether they are true or false, with Jia Yufeng's wrists, I am afraid that he would have killed people a long time ago, where to prove black and white." When the people proposed it, they were first placed in the compound of the county government, and all the officials in the county government were arrested, and their vacated houses were just placed. In addition, relatives of prisoners can come to visit. ”

"That's fine." Lu Xiufu nodded, to be honest, he couldn't think of a better way. Ye Yingwu has no way to do this, you must know that the people of the whole city are watching their actions, if they are still left to this way, I am afraid that the people will think that Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu are just here to take a scene, and naturally they will not come to avenge their grievances so actively, and those wealthy families should also think about it.

By doing this, Ye Yingwu was really on the side of the people and put himself on the opposite side of Jia Yufeng.

The hall seemed empty, and Lu Xiufu hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "Envoy, did Wang Jin say anything about the two ladies they met?" ”

Ye Yingwu raised his legs and walked out, and said with a wry smile: "Although I said it, it was not very clear, and the people who experienced this matter at that time, except for Jia Yufeng's cronies, had already been wiped out, and now I can only send them to the Dieshan Courtyard to see if they can say anything, but I don't have much hope when I think about it, after all, I am not Jia Yufeng's side." If you want to convict Jia Yufeng, I'm afraid you have to start from his cronies and minions. ”

"Then let's go to Jiafu first?" Lu Hideo looked at the sky outside.

Ye Yingwu nodded and did not speak again.

To be honest, the degree of trickiness of things was something he hadn't imagined before, and it was because Jia Yufeng's strength was indeed too intertwined, and Jia Yufeng had been in charge of Tongshan County for so long, and wealthy families like the Zhang family had taken a wait-and-see posture after suffering from it, unless Ye Yingwu took the evidence of Jia Yufeng's death, they would not jump out and actively cheer for Ye Yingwu.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Jiafu is already gloomy, this large-scale courtyard is magnificent, occupies a foot of the green mountain, and Jia Yufeng's Youmenglou is just in the diagonal position of the entire Tongshan County, and the terrain is higher, almost overlooking the whole city.

Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu walked side by side on the bluestone pavement of the alley, different from the Jiafu compound not far away, almost all sides of the alley are ordinary houses with white walls and black tiles that are the most common in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jia Yufeng's mansion can almost be said to be different from Yunyang.

At some point, only Jiang Tie and a few guards were left behind Ye Yingwu, and even Yang Bao had already been sent out. Before Ye Yingwu gave the order, in fact, except for the backyard, the entire Jia Mansion had been guarded by the Tianwu soldiers, and Jia Yufeng's inner relatives and the servants and slaves in the house were also driven to the left and right wings, guarded by soldiers.

Seeing Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu coming side by side, Zhang Gui, who was guarding the door, hurriedly stepped forward in three steps and two steps: "My subordinates have seen two adults, Lord Qiyu, the eldest woman in the mansion Li is crying and asking to see the adults, and the rest of the wives and concubines in the mansion are also crying, and the subordinates dare not make decisions, so they can only wait for the last two adults to come." ”

"What about the commander of Jiangdu?" Ye Yingwu didn't put on a show, but walked with Zhang Gui very kindly, and he couldn't hear the coldness in his heart at this time, but Lu Xiufu, who was beside Ye Yingwu, knew that the pressure in Ye Yingwu's heart was very great at this time, so he just subconsciously fell half a step behind, silently looking at his back, thoughtful.

After all, Zhang Gui's enlistment time is too short, and he is more arrogant in dealing with people and things, so he didn't notice Ye Yingwu's slightly low tone, but because Ye Yingwu intentionally or unintentionally revealed his attention and concern for himself, his heart was a little warm, and he had more of a sense of belonging to Tianwu Army, and he didn't know that Ye Yingwu's title had changed from "adult" to "envoy", and hurriedly said: "Qi Yu envoy, the commander of Jiangdu has been ordered to take people into the back house of Jiafu first. ”

"Then let's go in and have a look." Ye Yingwu frowned, he didn't think that Jiang Hao's reckless character could really find out anything, but he was quite afraid that he would really destroy some crucial incriminating evidence by rummaging through the cabinets.

While speaking, several people had already walked into the door, and before they could take a step, they heard a heart-rending cry from not far away, Zhang Gui said with a wry smile: "Envoy, general judgment, this is the inner family of Jiafu, after all, they are all female dependents, and their subordinates are not easy to decide." ”

Glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally, Ye Yingwu said coldly: "Send someone to tell them that if there are any grievances, the official will interrogate them clearly, and if it goes on like this, I will ask them if they are interested in tasting what it is like to eat prison food!" ”

Zhang Gui felt a chill in his heart, and hugged his fists without dragging his feet: "Obey the order!" ”

Lu Xiufu followed without saying a word, and in troubled times, Ye Yingwu was silently implementing this principle from beginning to end.

For Ye Yingwu, he felt more and more incomprehensible, this young man was still immature, but his wrists were not what people of this age should have, and when he faced the overwhelming Mongolian iron cavalry on the battlefield, he also had a composure and fearlessness that was far superior to other generals. Although Lu Xiufu couldn't figure out whether this was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, he also knew very well in his heart that this young man who looked only slightly handsome and had just been crowned was not just a rich second generation with no ink in his belly.

I don't know if Zhong Lingyuxiu from Jiangnan created such a person, but Lu Xiufu firmly believes in his heart that if there is enough time, Ye Yingwu has enough ability to save this Great Song Dynasty, who has been coming to an end step by step, from the edge of the cliff.

The two of them were silent, walking forward one after the other, and the entire Jiafu was extremely quiet because of the soldiers of the Tianwu Army inside and outside, only a straight posture and a gust of summer breeze blowing in the face.

Although Jiang Hao is a person with a somewhat impatient temper, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know Ye Yingwu, a close friend who has been from Jizhou Bailuzhou Academy to Lin'an for many years, so Jiang Hao just took his own soldiers to walk around, although Jiafu is more gorgeously decorated, but there are not many people living inside, most of the rooms are even just piled up with some sundries, and they are very empty, but Jiang Hao can also understand that even if Jia Yufeng scrapes the wealth from Tongshan County, after decorating Youmenglou, I don't think there will be much left, and Jia Yufeng built such a big mansion, so that his wife and servants don't have so many.

Knowing that Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu came together, Jiang Hao didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly walked out of the backyard and bumped into Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu head-on.

As Ye Yingwu's position became higher and higher, unconsciously, in addition to the unshakable friendship at the beginning, whether it was as arrogant as Jiang Ho or as cautious as Zhang Cheng, he unconsciously had more awe, and he was no longer as casual as before, but unconsciously took a posture towards Shangguan.

Ye Yingwu was also very helpless about this, but he knew that power would always bring awe to others, and it would inevitably be lost while gaining it, otherwise the emperor would have to call himself a "widow".

Quietly looking at Jiang Hao standing beside him, Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment, and then smiled and stretched out his hand and pressed it on Jiang Hao's shoulder: "How is it?" ”

Jiang Hao was slightly stunned, a warm current flowed in his heart, and he seemed to realize that he was indeed a little contrived just now, so that Ye Yingwu noticed it, and he smiled slightly embarrassed on his face: "Not yet, this Jia Mansion looks very gorgeous, but there are not many rooms in it, most of them are empty, and even some of the family items are owed, and the subordinates really can't see what's wrong." ”

"Let's go in together." Ye Yingwu nodded slightly, he didn't think that Jiang Hao could find anything, Jia Yufeng was able to stay in Tongshan County for so long, if there were no arrangements, I am afraid that he would have already replaced him, you must know that Jia Yidao and Jia Yuqing, who are thousands of miles away, are not strong enough to take care of everything in a small Tongshan County.

Walking slowly between the white walls and black tiles, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and his fingers swiped across the white wall, as if he was feeling the brand-new and vicissitudes of life seven hundred years ago. Although they didn't understand why Ye Yingwu was walking slowly like this, as if he had lost his mind, Jiang Hao and Lu Xiufu were very silent tacitly.

Ye Yingwu didn't know if his choice this time was right, because he always felt a little uneasy when walking on this road, he seemed to have ignored something, and he seemed to have gone in the wrong direction, this time he took Jia Yufeng down so easily, is it too easy, even if this Tongshan County magistrate is indeed insignificant, it does not mean that the shrewd Jia Yidao will not be able to see this nail stuck in Xing** or even the entire Jiangnan West Road.

"Shhh Ye Yingwu took a long breath of cold air, although it was already summer, but because of some cloudy reasons, the wind was slightly cool.

"How?" Lu Xiufu had already noticed Ye Yingwu's strange appearance, and finally couldn't help but ask worriedly, "But what's wrong?" ”

Ye Yingwu shook his head cautiously and walked up the steps step by step.

The sound of footsteps sounded abruptly from behind, and the three of them all subconsciously looked back, only to see Yang Gui running over a little panting: "The three adults of Qiqi, the people who came from Lin'an, have arrived, claiming to be surnamed Weng." And the people from Longxing Mansion also came, it was Ye Yuanjun's brother. ”

"Weng Yinglong?!" Lu Xiufu and Ye Yingwu blurted out in unison, and immediately their faces sank, as expected, Jia Rudao would not give up Jia Yufeng in Tongshan County so easily, and even Weng Yinglong, one of his left arms and right gangs, was sent, and it has only been a few days, firstly, Jia Yufeng may have already felt uneasy so he sent someone to ask for help, and secondly, it is more likely that someone in the Tianwu Army has informed!

"It's the big brother?" Ye Yingwu immediately came back to his senses, "Several ministers asked the eldest brother to come, obviously wanting to take over Jia Yufeng's position, so that the entire Tongshan County will inevitably be held in our hands, but now that Weng Yinglong is killed halfway, things are tricky." ”

"Don't be careless." Lu Xiufu sighed softly, the famous names of Weng Yinglong and Liao Ying were also widely spread in Li Tingzhi's shogunate, and everyone knew that Jia Yidao was at the peak of his life step by step with the help of these two people.

Smiled coldly, a trace of uneasiness in Ye Yingwu's heart gradually dissipated, Weng Yinglong, a certain Ye Yingwu wants to see how many wrists you have.

"Shouldn't you go out to greet you first, after all, it is the Tianwei of the official family that is represented on the surface." Lu Xiufu hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't help but say.

"Does he have a heavenly will?" Ye Yingwu glanced back at Lu Xiufu, and continued to walk towards the backyard without looking back, "The most important thing for us now is to get the evidence of Jia Yufeng's crimes, so that even if a hundred Weng Yinglong are afraid of what it will do!" In this way, since the eldest brother is here, he can't come in vain, just like the eldest brother helped drag Weng Yinglong first. ”

Although he felt a little inappropriate in his heart, Lu Xiufu didn't know how to refute it, so he could only smile bitterly and nod slightly.

While a few people were talking, they had unconsciously walked to the backyard of Jiafu.

The doors of the exquisite houses are open, and there are two Tianwu soldiers standing outside the door, really just like Jiang Hao said, most of the houses are simply placed in the courtyard with a few tables and chairs, and some have thick dust and cobwebs, it seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time, and people will leave messy footprints when they go up. There are only a few rooms in the middle of the courtyard, the curtains and beads are covered by each other, and the ceramic screens are alternate, and there are still some big families.

"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it." Lu Xiufu couldn't help frowning and said, but everyone knows that if a person really has something to be sorry for heaven and earth, he will definitely bury all the evidence in his own house and will not put it anywhere else, but Jia Fu is like this, it already gives people a clear feeling, and it seems that there is no secret hidden.

Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and waved it, looking around, the houses were all the same white walls and black tiles, and outside the few rooms where no one lived or even only a few pieces of furniture were placed, there were four or five big trees, which grew extraordinarily thick and lush, compared to the flowers and trees in other places were not as strong as there.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Yingwu walked under the tree, stretched out his hand to caress the trunk that had carried the vicissitudes and marks of the world, and after a while, he looked up again, for some reason, the canopy of these big trees was also extraordinarily lush, and it seemed that they occupied a unique place.

Even Lu Xiufu and Jiang Hao have already discovered the abnormality, but unlike Ye Yingwu, they think that there must be something strange about these rooms, and they seem so maverick in the entire Jia Mansion, so Lu Xiufu was about to walk towards the house, but Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve.

"Yuanlie?" Lu Xiufu rarely called Ye Yingwu's words directly, and blurted out at this time, which showed the surprise and incomprehension in his heart.

Shaking his head slightly, Ye Yingwu did not answer Lu Xiufu's doubts, but asked with a wry smile: "Do you know why these trees grow so lushly?" ”

Lu Xiufu was stunned, and immediately stared straight at Ye Yingwu.

Ye Yingwu did not rush to speak, but frowned and pondered, in this era when biology and medicine are not developed, Ye Yingwu understands why Lu Xiufu can't understand the key to this problem, but Lu Xiufu doesn't understand it doesn't mean that Ye Yingwu doesn't understand.

Jiang Hao also noticed that something was wrong, and subconsciously held down the saber, and his eyes coldly scanned the surroundings, as if there was a deadly enemy hidden in the dark. The Tianwu soldiers who followed behind him had slowly dispersed, standing in a circle around these big trees to protect Ye Yingwu and the others.

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Yingwu said slowly: "The big tree grows luxuriantly because ・・・・・・ fertilizer is sufficient. ”

Lu Xiufu and Jiang Hao are both smart people, and in an instant, their hearts are like being poured with a basin of cold water, which is extremely cold! The fertilizer is sufficient, and they don't think that Jia Yufeng will be idle and have nothing to do to apply fertilizer to these big trees, so there is only one possibility.

"Is this possible?" Lu Xiufu gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Yingwu, but in his heart, he understood that this was really possible, if it weren't for Ye Yingwu, he and Jiang Hao would not have thought of it even if they crashed into the south wall, after all, no official would usually serve flowers and plants, so naturally he would not notice this very fatal problem.

And if this is true, then it is also good to explain why the surrounding houses would rather be idle than inhabited, because no one likes to sleep on the bones and endure the onslaught of resentment, which is to say・・・・・・

Lu Xiufu and Jiang Hao's eyes flashed with a gleam.

This means that the housekeepers and servants of Jiafu should know about this matter, at least some of them know.

"The last general is going now!" Jiang Hao consciously hugged his fist at Ye Yingwu, Ye Yingwu nodded, and he rushed away.

"Dig it up." Ye Yingwu pointed to the bottom of the tree and said softly.

It's like digging up all the sin and the light.
