After walking a distance, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but glance back, and from a distance, he saw that Wang Yu, who had almost turned into a black spot, was still standing there, and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

Speaking from the heart, it's not that he himself is ruthless and cold-blooded, but he really doesn't want to get into trouble anymore, because although he is very young, Zong Jiyuan has deeply experienced that kind of heart-wrenching sadness, so he has already made a decision and will not easily accept any of anyone's intentions.

In addition, from another point of view, this world is very complicated, the so-called "nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief", come to help for no reason, and keep saying what kind of friends they have, but who can say what is in their hearts? All in all, it's better to get into less trouble.

In this way, he went to his home in the north of the city, thinking that what had just happened was just a small episode in his life, but he never expected it to evolve into a major event that had changed his life......

Three days later, at the end of the month, according to the custom, Zong Jiyuan had to go to his own shop in the county town to check the accounts.

In the past, his father Zong Zhiming was responsible for these things, but more than three months ago, when his father died young, Ji Yuan took over the burden of taking care of the family business left by him. However, speaking of which, the work of checking the accounts is not very cumbersome, because these transactions are all in the sole responsibility of the loyal butler Li Sen, but because he knows his position very well, no matter how much power he has in the Sect Mansion, this Steward Li has always acted cautiously and refused to overstep, even if this audit is just a formality, but he has never simply omitted the matter.

Zong Jiyuan first arrived at his own silk village, which has only been open for about ten years, but it has become the largest cloth merchant in the county, and it is also the main one of the many businesses of the Zong family.

Symbolically, he picked up a book from the ledger piled up like a hill on the counter, and while flipping through it, Soyoshi Mototo chatted with the boys, listening to everyone talk about some interesting things, and when it came to the place of cola, everyone laughed together, and they were very happy.

But at this moment, there was a noise of people from the street, followed by heavy, chaotic footsteps, and when I looked up, I saw a team of officials running in front of me, headed by Diao Sanlang, the chief catcher of Liaodong County.

Because he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve, he had some contact with Lord He in the county government, so he knew this person. But it is precisely like this, Zong Jiyuan knows very well that Diao Saburo will not go in person in the case of ordinary fights, so it seems that there is something big about it?

Thinking in his heart, Zong Jiyuan instinctively put down the account book, walked out of the door, looked at the errands who were going away, and said secretly, this Liaodong County has always been very peaceful, what is there that makes the county government put up such a big battle......

Not only did he think so, but the other people on the street were also talking about it.

When I was in doubt, I suddenly heard a voice behind me,

"Want to know what's going on?"

"Ah......h

Because he had already heard who was speaking, Zong Jiyuan rolled his eyelids a little helplessly,

"Why are you here?"

"I, because I think that this case that happened, your young master will be interested."

The person who came was indeed the same Wang Yu I had seen a few days ago.

Zong Jiyuan was a little funny, and said as he walked back,

"You know what I'm interested in, it's really ......"

"You and I know the victim,"

Seeing that he was really going to walk away, Wang Yu hurriedly said,

"That girl is so pitiful, don't you really care?"

"Girls? What girl? ”

was really touched by him, because for Zong Jiyuan, he cares about the elderly and children very much, and the children love little girls even more, because he always feels that girls are generally harder in comparison, so he couldn't help blurting out and asking.

Secretly relieved, Wang Yu said squarely,

"Young Master Zong still doesn't know? There was a homicide in Cui Jiaji, and I heard that a girl was killed. ”

"Cui Family, Ji ......"

Zong Jiyuan was a little stunned, and instinctively repeated the name of the place.

Wang Yu nodded,

"Yes, it's the place where you and I 'meddle' a few days ago, and the child who was killed seems to be Cui Zhan's daughter Xiaoyingzi......"

"What did you say?!"

Zong Jiyuan really can't be indifferent anymore,

"Who killed her? Because of what?! ”

"I really don't know that,"

Wang Yu smiled helplessly,

"Just now, Diao Arrest and the servants went to investigate the case. How about it, Young Master Zong, do you want to go and see it with me? ”

"Let's go."

After nodding, Zong Jiyuan went back to the shop and gave a few instructions to the guy, then went to the back to lead his horse, and went out of the county seat with Wang Yu, and went to Cui's house again.

At this time, the people of the Cui family gathered at the accident site outside the village, and everyone was crying dizzy, if it weren't for a Cui Jiang who was quite sober and asked someone to rush to the county government to report the case in time, I really don't know if these people would have messed up the scene of the crime.

Everyone just doesn't understand why God just refuses to let go of such a weak little girl, who just escaped from the clutches of the devil a few days ago, but who knew that she was taken away by death so soon.

While the crowd was still weeping bitterly, someone shouted,

"The county officials are here! Let's all give it a go! ”

With the shout, Diao Saburo arrived with the messengers, and when he saw this, he immediately asked his brothers to surround the scene, and then looked at the people around him.

"Who is the bitter master?"

"Hui Lord,"

Cui Jiang saw that his brother and sister-in-law were so sad that they couldn't speak, so he stepped forward and said,

"The villain is the informant and the victim's uncle, and the villain's brother and sister-in-law over there are the victim's parents."

"Oh? Is it the case you reported? ”

Diao Saburo looked at him,

"So that's the victim you found? Can you elaborate on what it was like? ”

"Good, good ......"

Cui Jiang looked a little embarrassed,

"Actually, it's nothing special, it's early this morning, Xiaoyingzi ran out to collect firewood, but when it was time to eat, I didn't come back, and our whole family came out to look for it, and then the little man found out on the edge of the forest that the child had ......."

At this point, I can't go on.

Nodding slightly, Diao Saburo slowly walked over to Xiao Yingzi's small body and observed it for a while, then turned around and asked,

"Cui Jiang, let me ask you, was she like this when you found this child? Has anything ever been moved? ”
