"Villain ......"

Cui Jiang hesitated for a moment, as if he was reminiscing, and then shook his head,

"No, the villain hasn't touched anything."

"Oh, okay."

Diao Saburo nodded again, and turned his head thoughtfully, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu rushing over, so he stepped forward with some surprise.

"Young Master Zong, why are you here?"

"I heard that something happened to Xiaoyingzi, so I rushed over to take a look."

At this time, Zong Jiyuan had already seen the poor child, and his heart suddenly became heavy.

Diao Saburo was even more surprised,

"What? Young Master Zong knows this family? ”

"Yes, there was a one-sided relationship."

Zong Jiyuan nodded and roughly told what happened a few days ago, Diao Saburo listened to it and felt that this was a clue anyway, so he secretly remembered it in his heart.

After saying hello, Zong Jiyuan looked at Xiao Yingzi's body again, and said,

"Diao Catcher, can you go down and see the child?"

"This ...... Well,"

Diao Saburo hesitated slightly, and then agreed,

"But I hope that Young Master Zong will be more careful."

"I understand below."

Zong Jiyuan naturally knew that the other party was telling him not to destroy the scene or anything, so he nodded and walked over carefully.

In fact, as ordinary people, they were not allowed to enter this kind of place, but in the past, Zong Jiyuan's father had a better relationship with the county government, and he himself had helped the yazhong, so Diao Saburo also treated him differently, not to mention, in addition to these, there was another very important reason why he would not stop him.

Seeing Zong Jiyuan walking inside, that Wang Yu also hurriedly tied the horse and planned to step forward together, but was stopped by the messenger on the side.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"Me?"

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to Zong Jiyuan and said,

"I'm with him."

"Really?"

When the officer heard this, he turned his head and asked in a loud voice,

"Young Master Zong, is this guy with you?!"

"Who?"

Zong Jiyuan turned around, glanced at Wang Yu, and said with a slight smile,

"It's not! I don't know him. ”

"Ji, Young Master Zong, you ......"

That Wang Yu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry,

"Don't be like this, how can you say you don't know me......"

"Alright, alright,"

The officer shoved him back,

"People say they don't know you anymore, what are you sticking to, back off, back down, back ......"

"I, good, good, good......"

Wang Yu had no choice but to step back and watch Zong Jiyuan walk over there.

Observing carefully around, Zong Jiyuan had already drawn a lot of question marks in his mind, and it took a long time to come to Diao Saburo's side and say,

"Diao Tou, that kid seems to be holding something in his left hand, can you let the brothers come and take a look."

"Oh, yes."

While agreeing, Diao Saburo asked his subordinates to go over to check, and there was not much time, and the officials came to reply, it turned out that Xiao Yingzi was holding a piece of cloth tightly in his hand, and it looked carefully, as if it was the sleeve head on a certain piece of clothing, and it was speculated that it should have been ripped off the murderer's body.

After listening to the reply, Diao Saburo nodded, asked them to put away the found thing, as evidence for the investigation, and then ordered someone to transport the child's body back to the county office, and wait for further examination.

Cui Zhan and his wife had recovered a little from their grief, and they both ran to them and begged to avenge their daughter's grievances.

Seeing that there was nothing more to do, Zong Jiyuan also silently left the scene with the messengers, planning to go home, but was stopped by Diao Saburo,

"Young Master Zong, please stay!"

"Huh?"

Zong Jiyuan was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked at the other party,

"Diao Catcher is screaming, but what's the matter?"

"Of course,"

Diao Saburo walked a few steps quickly to catch up with him, and said in a chatter-like tone,

"A few days ago, Lord He mentioned you to me, saying that the official document from Fengtianfu was forwarded from Shengjing, saying that Young Master Zong, you have won the imperial examination this time, but I don't know why you didn't come to the county to file it?"

"Oh, that's what Diao Catcher is talking about,"

Zong Jiyuan showed his characteristic elegant and beautiful smile and said,

"It's because after rushing back from Shengjing, my father passed away, and Ji Yuan has been busy assisting his mother in handling the funeral and managing the housework, so he ......."

"I see,"

Hearing him answer like this, Diao Sanlang was a little uneasy, because the county knew about the death of the fourth master of Zong Zhiming, and Lord He also specially sent someone to mourn, and at this time Zong Jiyuan was also dressed in filial piety, but his delicate character matched this plain dress very well, so that he ignored the matter, so he hurriedly said,

"It's Diao who is abrupt."

"Nothing,"

Zong Jiyuan still smiled and said,

"Diao Zhutou reminded me that I really have to find a suitable time to meet Master He."

In fact, holding a funeral for his late father is only one of the factors, mainly because he doesn't want to have too much to do with the government, and it is necessary and impossible to have business needs with them on weekdays, but when it comes to taking the initiative to devote himself to the public, this is another matter, but the tragedy that just happened in front of him made Zong Jiyuan's mood very restless.

And listening to his words, Diao Saburo actually pushed the boat down the river,

"That's great, I don't think I have to find another time, why don't I go with Diao to meet our adults today, and I can see that Young Master Zong, you should also be very concerned about this case, Diao Mou also wants to discuss it with you, how about it?"

"This ......"

Slightly sinking, Zong Jiyuan reluctantly nodded and agreed,

"Well, I should visit my lord too."

Speaking of this, I remembered the Wang Yu who came with me, but when I looked back, I didn't see him, and I didn't know where that guy had gone.

instructed his subordinates to send Xiao Yingzi's body to the morgue to be guarded, and called Qian Zuo, everything was arranged, Diao Saburo accompanied Zong Jiyuan to Ertang to see the county master He Ruichang and Lord He. When the two of them came to the door, they asked Zong Jiyuan to wait for a while, and he went back in first, and there was not much time, so he heard a very gentle voice coming from inside,

"Is Mr. Zong here? Hurry up and please. ”

"Young Master Zong, please come in."

Before the words fell, I saw Diao Saburo poke his head out and said with a smile.

Zong Jiyuan knew that Master He was a rare good official, so he had always respected him in his heart, so he tidied up his robe slightly, straightened his hat, and walked in.
