"The fire in the inn?" As soon as Ye Siyuan heard the news, he felt that this matter was like heaven's help. Before, I was worried about when I would bring the team I had assembled outside the city into Fuzhou quietly. Isn't this inn fire just the right opportunity?

The arresters must all be dispatched, and now, as long as the guards in the city are paid, they will be able to do so soon.

Thinking of this, Ye Siyuan hurriedly asked the person who came to tell him: "Without further ado, let the team enter the city immediately." “

"But. “

"But what. Ye Siyuan said suspiciously.

"The soldiers guarding the city?" said the man with some hesitation.

"Money, if you don't know him, you can buy him, and if you can't buy it, you will kill him. No matter what means, I want my team to be able to surround Wang Yi's official residence tomorrow. Do you know?" Ye Siyuan angrily slapped the table beside him, and the table made a loud noise.

"Yes, yes, sir. The subordinate trembled and wanted to run out with a grunt, but was still called back by Ye Siyuan: "What happened to the corpse I asked you to dispose of." “

"Don't worry, my lord, it's all taken care of. We also found an excuse to go over to Xunfanglou, so no one should doubt it. “

"Hmm. Ye Siyuan said: "You will go to Xunfanglou later, and after giving enough silver, I will say that I will redeem Xu Qingruo." “

"Yes, sir. With that, the man walked briskly towards the door.

When Ye Siyuan was left alone in the secret room, he thought quietly, but he couldn't think of the reason why this inn suddenly caught fire. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, although either way, there are no disadvantages to yourself. Then I thought that Changzhou had already arranged it properly, and the only thing I was afraid of was the lost ledger. It is very likely that the ledger will end up in Wang Yi's hands. Even if Ming ** entered the town government and couldn't kill Wang Yi, but unfortunately he was arrested, the account book in Wang Yi's hand could only cure himself for corruption and perversion of the law at most, and he would not die. As long as you don't die, you will have another chance to turn the tables. As for the felony that led to death, the assassination of the town government, the patrol. It's not all your own doing, naturally, there is no evidence, and you won't settle on your own name.

There are only a few felonies that cause death in Taiping, which are nothing more than murder and arson, which are heinous crimes, and killing the design officer, which is classified as murder, and also, it is a violation of the Taiping Emperor, and the emperor is far away in the sky, so naturally he will not.

Thinking of this, Ye Siyuan couldn't help but wonder, those towns who died unexpectedly before, and Inspector Bush himself killed, who else was there? Could it be Xixuan's people? Ye Siyuan also had doubts before, after all, this place was the closest to Xixuan. But because of his shady business, he didn't want to take care of it. And now Ye Siyuan is too busy to take care of himself, so he naturally doesn't want to delve into it. If you have time, it is better to think more about the details of the Ming *** near the town government, how can we catch Wang Yi and detain Wang Yi on the charge of fornication with the enemy country?

Today, destined, is not a quiet night.

In the town hall, Wang Yi and Ah Duo were facing the wooden box, Wang Yi didn't say anything, but Ah Duo said with surprise: "You, how can you have this?"

Wang Yi looked at Ah Duo's demeanor and knew that the conjecture in his heart was right. So he said, "This is a corpse worm?"

Ah Duo walked around the box, took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Yes, this is the corpse worm, how did you get it?"

"This should have been obtained from Hongzhu, and it can be regarded as entrusted to me by others, but I only need the account book in the wooden box, I don't know, can I get it?" Wang Yi said.

Ah Duo shook his head and said: "This wooden box is indeed used to place the phantom sound bell, and it also has the effect of suppressing the corpse insects, but without the phantom sound bell, although the corpse insects have not fully awakened, they will spit out poisonous gas." Not to mention touching it, if the poisonous gas is inhaled, I am afraid it will be difficult to live. “

"You mean, this wooden box can't be opened?" Wang Yi looked embarrassed. Originally, I thought that it would not be difficult to put this wooden box in front of Ah Duo. Unexpectedly, the power of this corpse insect was beyond his imagination. Wang Yi remembered that there seemed to be something related to it in the scroll he brought, and he originally thought that with Aduo in the south, he would not have to bother, but it seems that he still has to turn over it when he has free time.

Thinking that Wang Yi no longer spoke at this time, but Ah Duo beside him didn't mean to speak, Wang Yi raised his head, but saw Ah Duo looking at the wooden box, as if thinking about something, and that looked a little embarrassed. Wang Yi retracted the words that had just come to his lips.

At this time, Wang Liang hurriedly broke into the room and shouted loudly: "Oh no, sir, the inn on the street is on fire." “

"On the streets, isn't it? Wang Yi suddenly lifted the hem of his clothes and walked out with Wang Liang, no longer having the heart to care about Ah Duo who was thinking about something.

Ah Duo looked at Wang Yi's hurried back, but the corners of his eyes were struggling.

She looked at the simple wooden box, the faint fragrance of the wooden box came to her nose, others may not smell it clearly, but Ah Duo is clear.

Why did this wooden box need to be kept by someone in Nanlin, why the maid was able to bring back this wooden box, and why Nanlin lost such an important thing, but only sent a few people to Taiping.

There is naturally only one reason, this wooden box, this corpse insect, if it is an ordinary Nanlin person, he is afraid, and he will not dare to touch it. If you want to recover the corpse worm, there are only two ways, one is to bring back the red beads, and the other is to use your own blood to wake up the corpse worm.

Yes, why can a maid bring out the corpse worm, the corpse worm itself is highly poisonous, let alone touch, even if you touch the wooden box, it is all life and death, it is a matter of fate, why is the red bead okay.

When the maid was chosen, the first thing he did was to feed the corpse worms with blood. To be precise, this feeding is determined by the corpse worms.

Each woman will put her hand in the box, and if the person who has been bitten by the corpse worm survives within seven days, that person is a handmaiden.

The body of the handmaiden will be immune to the poison of the corpse worm, so that the poison of the corpse worm will not hurt the person. This handmaiden naturally has to follow this corpse worm for the rest of her life.

If you don't feed it for a day, the corpse worms will back. Life is better than death, however, the smell of corpse insects will be strong for the handmaiden, so the handmaiden can always find the corpse worms easily. It's like there's a connection between this person and a worm. If the red bead dies, I am afraid, and it will not be because of this corpse worm.

Ah Duo sighed.

This is a difficult choice, if you want to open the wooden box, it's not like what I just told Wang Yi, there is no way, there is a way, it's just.

I need to be the next handmaiden, so I'm afraid that I must be in the southern dynasty for the rest of my life.

Ah Duo stretched out his hand, looked at the bell that was buzzing on his body, and fell into thought.

How do you choose?

Wang Yi walked briskly, ignoring his clothes, and as soon as he walked out of the town office, he saw Zhang Meng coming.

Wang Yi stopped, looked at Zhang Meng, felt a little surprised, and said, "How is the fire in the inn, are there any casualties?"

"Lord Wang, don't worry, the fire has been controlled, and the number of casualties, I'm afraid we won't know until tomorrow. Zhang Meng arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, Zhang, there is something to tell." Zhang Meng's face showed hesitation, which made Wang Yi's right eye jump, feeling strange, as if something was going to happen.

"Zhang, please speak. Wang Yi said.

"Please Lord Wang, leave Fuzhou as soon as possible, I got the news that Lord Ye has come to arrest Lord Wang's team and is on the way. Lord Wang Yi is a good official, and Zhang is really there. Zhang Meng shook his head weakly, but he looked powerless.

Hearing this, Wang Yi was not shocked and hurriedly said: "Master Ye, then I can't run away, I want to see what crime Wang has committed." “

"Lord Wang. “

"Wang Yi has more kindness from Zhang, please put it. “

"Alas. Zhang Meng shook his head helplessly and left.

At this time, Fuzhou still pretended to be peaceful.
