"Oh?" Duan Fei was shocked, and Aunt Li turned her head and shouted out, "Sister, don't you come in and see the three adults!" ”

A middle-aged woman then walked in, saluted the three of them, and said, "The woman has seen three adults, and I heard that the adults asked about their names, so they came to pay a visit. ”

Duan Fei said: "You are Li Erniang?" Have you ever been to Lord Xu's mansion in the backyard of the county government? There's a maid named Xiaoyun in there, she's missing now, do you know what's going on......"

Li Erniang replied while thinking: "There is such a person, and she also bought some things from me...... By the way, she is a full-time flower grower in Xufu, and I saw her a few days ago, but she is missing? This is not strange, that day she asked me a lot of strange words, inquiring about the things in Yangzhou, as if someone told her that several rich businessmen in Yangzhou are recruiting maids, the conditions are quite good, she is a little tempted, and afraid of being deceived, so to ask me, I didn't pay attention, casually perfunctory a few words, could it be that she really went? It's too bad, most of the time I was deceived by a kidnapper. ”

Duan Fei glanced at Shi Bin, and Shi Bin shouted, "Have you ever heard Xiaoyun say the names of Third Aunt Wang and Aunt Hou?" ”

Li Erniang nodded again and again, and said: "I've heard it, but it's not in the Xu Mansion, everyone is almost the same person, and they will meet from time to time, take care of each other, and never tear each other down, so I didn't tell Xiaoyun the truth, Wang Sangu shouldn't do anything about abduction, but it's the waiting mother...... I heard that she used to do it in Yangzhou Tianxianglou, and then redeemed herself, relying on her understanding of some women's medical skills, she became a doctor, treating people while saying some tempting words, as for whether she abducted people I don't know. ”

Duan Fei took a closer look at Li Erniang's expression, she should have known something, but she didn't say it because of concerns, Duan Fei's heart turned around, and said: "Li Fu, since I found Li Erniang, there is nothing for you here, I have to borrow this house for a while, you husband and wife go out!" ”

After driving away Li Fu and his wife, Duan Fei also asked Shi Bin and Guo Wei to stand guard outside the door, and Duan Fei and Li Erniang were left in the room. ”

Li Erniang said respectfully: "My lord is really an understanding person, I don't dare to hide it, that Hou Ma is indeed doing the dirty thing of abducting and selling people, but her whereabouts are uncertain, and I don't know how to find her, but I remember that Xiaoyun once asked me a person, saying that it was He Yuanwai in Yangzhou, I am not familiar with the rich and noble people in Yangzhou City, I don't know what kind of business this He Yuanwai does, but Xiaoyun only asked about this name, obviously it is a connector left by Hou Ma to Xiaoyun, and the poor master only needs to check along this line, and there must be no mistake." ”

Duan Fei, Guo Wei, and Shi Bin hurried back to the county office, Yan Zhutou and they had not yet returned, and the three of them came to the street again, and finally found Yan Zhutou, and told Yan Zhutou the news they had obtained, Yan Zhutou groaned for a while, and said categorically: "I'm going to see Lord Min!" ”

After returning to Yamen, Yan Zhutou, who had received the errand, nodded Duan Fei, Shi Bin, and Guo Wei, and after a hurried lunch, Yan Zhutou went to rent a boat, took Li Erniang with him, and then everyone got on the boat together and rushed to Yangzhou.

Seeing the familiar scenery along the way, Duan Fei couldn't help but think of the young lady and the maid who passed by when he went down to Yangzhou last time, although it was just a glimpse, the pair of beautiful eyes that were as bright as the stars were unforgettable.

I only heard Shi Bin sigh: "Brother Fei, do you remember the stinky girl who scolded us last time?" I don't know if I can see each other again in Yangzhou this time, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman in my life, how beautiful it would be if I could marry home and be a wife! ”

Yan Zhutou and Guo Wei asked after hearing it, Shi Bin said triumphantly, not ashamed of being scolded at all, and his obsessive appearance made Duan Fei laugh dumbly.

The five Shen Shizhong (four o'clock in the afternoon) got off the boat at the wharf outside Yangzhou City, and then rushed to the Yangzhou Mansion, Duan Fei and the four of them were left in the corridor outside the torture room to rest, and the head of the strict arrest asked the official to pass on the news, intending to meet Yangzhou General Judge Xie Zhijun and Yangzhou Chief Arrester Shi Yufeng respectively, but Shi Yufeng was not in Yangzhou, and the General Judge summoned him.

The general sentence is in charge of the criminal name of the government, and he is the top boss of the boss of Yan Zhu's head, Yan Zhutou stepped forward cautiously, Xie Zhijun glanced at him, and said lightly: "Lord Yan, your county has been quite restless recently......

Yan Zhutou was sweating slightly, and he hurriedly replied: "Yes, there have been several murders in Baoying recently, but fortunately, they have been solved in time, please be aware of them." ”

Xie Zhijun snorted, flipped through the file on the table, and said: "The past cases in your county have always been delayed for a long time and cannot be solved, but these recent murder cases have been able to be solved quickly, why is this?" ”

Yan Zhutou wiped his cold sweat and replied: "This is because Lord Min has always handed over the criminal case to Lord Xu of the Dian Shi to be responsible, and not long ago, Lord Xu was slightly ill, and the responsibility for solving the case fell on the lower officials, and the lower officials were fortunate not to disgrace their lives......"

"Nonsense!" Xie Zhijun snorted coldly and said, "I don't know how much ability you have?" I heard that you recruited a small catcher who is very good at solving cases, and you have a quarrel with Dian Shi Xu Yu for this, but is there really such a thing? ”

Yan Zhutou replied with a smile: "Yes, I can't hide anything from the adult, it's true, the classic history Xu Yu is jealous and hateful, and he is embarrassed by the officials everywhere, and please let the adults know it!" ”

Xie Zhijun snorted and said: "When you come to me, you have to play tricks, I don't care what you plan, I want to borrow this person, you can take him with you, right?" Go and call him in. ”

Yan Zhutou muttered in his heart, but he had to go out and bring Duan Fei in, Duan Fei stepped forward to see Lord Tongju, and then stood beside Yan Zhutou, he did not have the habit of seeing officials who were half short, his head was not lowered and his back was not bowed, he stood as straight as a javelin, his eyes were opposite to the judge and not timid, seeing that Lord Tongju only looked at himself and did not speak, he smiled and reminded: "Your Excellency......"

Xie Zhijun coughed lightly, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, your name is Duan Fei, right?" I heard that you had a very unhappy quarrel with Xu Dianshi, do you know that Xu Yu is a spy of Dongchang? It's not good that you've offended him! ”

"Please advise!" Duan Fei arched his hand and said respectfully.

Xie Zhijun smiled: "You don't have to worry, as long as you help me do one thing, I can keep you safe!" ”

Duan Fei said in a deep voice: "My lord, please say, I will go all out!" ”

Xie Zhijun glanced at Yan Zhutou and said: "Yan Zhutou knows a little about this matter, and last month he transferred a few arresters from Guixian County for that incident, so there was a vacancy, and you have become a fast catcher......

Duan Fei didn't say anything, and Yan Zhutou interjected at this time: "My lord, how many of them are okay now?" ”

Xie Zhijun frowned and said: "It's not good, a few more people have died over there, if it weren't for the fact that Yangzhou has not been peaceful recently, I would have to go over to the town in person, fortunately, the brothers will stop at most being injured, and no one will be killed, otherwise I won't be able to suppress it." ”

Duan Fei couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, what kind of case was it, there were people dying one after another, could it be a serial perverted killer? Even the arrester was injured, it can be seen that he had contact with the murderer, why did he still fail to catch the murderer?

Yan Zhutou exclaimed, Xie Zhijun looked at him, then at Duan Fei, and finally decided: "How many of you are here?" Let's take a boat to Rugao County later, and when I saw the chief arrester Shi Yufeng, I said that I asked you to help solve the case, especially Duan Fei, if you find anything, tell Master Shi directly, he will support you, this case has been pressed for too long, and it can't be delayed! ”

"Yes, obedience!" Yan Zhutou replied happily.

Duan Fei said: "My lord, I came to Yangzhou with Yan Zhutou to be abducted by a young girl, please allow me to solve this case first, find the missing person and then go to Rugao." ”

"I'll send someone to investigate that case, you don't have to worry about it." Xie Zhijun said.

Duan Fei still insisted: "My lord, since this case is in my hands, I have to finish it, otherwise it will be a mistake if I am worried, please forgive me." ”

Yan Zhutou was so anxious that he gave Duan Fei a chaotic look, but Duan Fei was not afraid to look at the Lord Tongju, Xie Zhijun frowned, and finally changed his mind and said: "Okay, I'll give you half a day, and I'll get on the boat to Rugao as soon as I'm done, let's go." ”
