Bai Yi proposed to transfer the file from eleven years ago, and Fu Yin immediately asked someone to do it, not only that, but also offered fragrant tea and pastries.

Seeing Ling Yue and Ah Yun, although they were young, their temperament was not bad, and they couldn't help but take a look at them.

smiled Yingying said: "Since the two of you are friends of Lord Bai, they are my Sun An's friends, so you don't have to be formal!" ”

Ling Yue thanked him, and he didn't reveal his identity, so he listened to Bai Yi's arrangement.

A year's case file is said to be too much, but it is said to be a lot less, but fortunately, it was properly organized, and the case of the Niu family's destruction was quickly found according to the index.

The file was taken out and the three of them read it carefully.

Sun An said cautiously: "Lord Bai, I don't know why you want to see this case?" But Fu Yin made a mistake in the case back then, so the emperor sent you to review? ”

Bai Yi didn't raise his head: "Master Sun, you know, what I do has always been inconvenient to disclose to the outside world, so ......"

"Clearly, clearly, I was abrupt. Take your time and see what else you want! ”

"Not anymore."

I thought for a moment, "Where is the main book?" ”

"I'll call him."

The master book is about forty years old, and he has come with his hands down.

"This is Lord Bai in the capital, ask you what to tell me honestly."

Hearing the word "confession", the master bookkeeper was a little panicked, and always felt that something had been done.

Bai Yi said: "Don't be nervous, we just have some questions for you." ”

"Yes, sir." The master stood honestly aside, hunched over, looking at him worriedly.

Bai Yi handed him the file: "How long have you been working in Hongcheng Mansion?" ”

"Back to my lord, fifteen years have passed."

Bai Yi nodded: "This file says that Zhao Si killed Niu Fugui's family of eight, is this true?" ”

The master bookkeeper read the dossier, and he didn't dare to breathe, and said in a trembling voice: "Return...... Back to my lord, it is. The subordinate will never dare to forge documents, please ...... Please be careful! ”

Ling Yue was overjoyed when she heard this: "This is what you recorded?" ”

The main book saw that this little girl didn't look like she was looking for faults, and her nervousness dissipated a little.

"Miss Hui, yes. At that time, Niu Fugui and his wife, two younger sisters, parents and parents-in-law, a total of eight people were killed by Zhao Si, and these Zhao Si all confessed and were detained, and the confession is here. ”

As he spoke, he skillfully pulled out a confession with a red handprint and offered it with both hands.

Ling Yue's eyes were full of joy, and after reading it carefully with Ah Yun, he handed it to Bai Yi.

"Why didn't you mention that there was a little boy in the Niu family at that time?" Bai Yi asked after reading the confession.

When the master bookkeeper heard this, he secretly admired in his heart, Lord Bai even knew this!

Secretly glad for the meticulousness of the year, he raised his head and said: "Back to my lord, Xia Guan also heard that Niu Fugui brought back a child from outside, so after the murder case, he specially told the then Fu Yin. After carefully inspecting the scene, we confirmed with Zhao Si that he had indeed not killed the child. Maybe he wasn't there at the time of the incident, or he ran away in the chaos. ”

With tears in her eyes, Ling Yue thanked the gods and Buddhas in her heart, as long as she didn't die in that tragedy, it was a good thing!

Bai Yi said "um", and his expression also relaxed. "You put these away."

The master bookkeeper carefully packed up the file before holding it and leaving, this action made Ling Yue feel more steady.

Sun An walked up to Bai Yi, he wanted to ask who the little boy was, but when he thought that Bai Yi was the emperor's person, he swallowed the words again.

Bai Yi spoke: "Master Sun, I want to find someone who needs your help." ”

Being able to help Lord Bai, Sun An felt very embarrassed, and patted his chest at the moment: "Lord Bai, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"I would like to ask your lord to summon all the seventeen-year-old boys in Hongcheng here."

Sun An was a little confused, straightened out his thoughts, and said tentatively: "All the seventeen-year-old men in the city? ”

"Yes."

Sun An hesitated.

is so exciting, if he is sued by someone who is not long-sighted, and then investigates other things about him, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk away.

"Dare to ask Lord Bai, this is business...... Or is it a private matter? ”

Bai Yi also hesitated.

Since Sun An hesitated, it meant that there was a difficulty in this matter. If he talks about business and is stabbed to the emperor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain.

"Private matters."

Sun An sneered: "If it is a private matter, please forgive the officials for not daring." ”

Ling Yue thought of the token given by her father before leaving, this was just looking for someone, not doing anything rebellious, thinking that the prime minister's father could settle it.

So he took it out of his purse: "Lord Sun, do you see if this brand is useful?" ”

"This young lady, it's useless to use any brand, it's really not that the official doesn't help, it's really ......"

Sun An took it casually, just glanced at it and immediately couldn't take his eyes off, looked at it over and over, and then gave it to her with both hands: "Dare to ask Miss, how can Ling Xiang's token be here with you?" ”

Ling Yue bowed his head and said, "This is my father's token. To tell you the truth, this time I went to Hongcheng to find my lost brother, that is, the seventeen-year-old boy in Bai Da's mouth. ”

"Home...... Father? ”

Ah Yun found that Sun An's smile was very flattering, much more flattering than that of Bai Yi before, like a flower that blooms and is undefeated.

Sun An laughed and secretly scolded himself for his poor eyesight, such a great god actually ignored it!

If Bai Yi had said that he had come to help Ling Lie, he wouldn't have to worry about it until now, he still had a bad impression on him!

"It turned out that Miss Ling came to find the young master. Since you have spoken, how can this official not help? Besides, it is the responsibility of the official to relieve the people's difficulties, and the official has the unshirkable responsibility. This official has always admired Ling Xiang, who is upright and honest, and he is really an example for us. The official had several opportunities to see his demeanor, but he didn't have a chance to talk about it, and he hoped that Miss Ling would say a few good words for the official after returning to Beijing......"

Bai Yi sighed and interrupted Sun An's long and beautiful words: "Lord Sun, Miss Ling is in a hurry to find her brother, can you say these words later?" ”

"Yes, yes, this official will arrange for someone to inform him, and he will definitely not miss a person, and ask the three of them to move outside the government early tomorrow morning."

The next day, Ling Yue got up early, who expected that Ah Yun was earlier than her, and he was seriously practicing martial arts.

The fine sweat on his forehead was shining under the morning sun, which made Ling Yue think of two words: high-spirited and radiant.

Her hands itched for a moment, and she broke a branch to fight him.

The young man suddenly saw the branch in front of him, thinking that someone was provoking, his eyes sank, and his hand moved violently, but even this could not take the slightest advantage, and he was beaten back again and again.

"Ah Yun, don't be nervous, there will be many flaws in a hurry!"

The little girl took a few steps back, threw the branch, and smiled with her hands on her hips.

Seeing that it was her, Ah Yun sighed helplessly: "Miss, why don't you do it without saying a word?" ”

"Train your resilience!" Hand him a handkerchief, "Wipe the sweat!" ”

The applause came from far and near, "Miss Ling has such a clever kung fu, it really opened my eyes!" ”

Bai Yi walked over, his eyes full of appreciation.

Ling Yue smiled: "Second brother taught." ”

Bai Yi's eyes lit up: "This second brother ...... It can't be Xue Ergongzi, right? I heard that General Xue recognized you as his daughter. ”

Ling Yue nodded and smiled: "Guessed right!" ”

Bai Yi sighed leisurely, Xue Tian was still smart. first recognized my sister, and then slowly developed into a daughter-in-law!

After a few words of gossip, a servant came to report: "Miss Ling, Lord Bai, all the seventeen-year-old men in the city on the household register have arrived, and Lord Sun asked you to invite you over." ”

In front of the yamen, a large number of young people in the black pressure were all talking to each other.

Sun An specially arranged a platform with four chairs on it, one for each of him and Ling Yue.

At the bottom of the stage sat the main bookkeeper, beside him several chests, all full of broken silver.

According to Ling Yue's request, as long as people come, each person will have one or two silver, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.

The boy flicked up every three, and all rolled up his sleeves as required. Although I don't understand the reason, I am overjoyed to receive a tael of silver, and they all come and return with the excitement.

The hot scene attracted many onlookers, all of whom looked at it with envy, only hating that they were not seventeen years old and that they had lost a chance to make money.

The young man in white brocade for a month was also attracted to him, and he looked at this lively scene and said, "Uncle, how many people are here?" ”

"I heard that the young lady of the Prime Minister's family came to look for her brother, and all the seventeen-year-old men in Hongcheng were heard. If you don't come in vain, you can get a tael of silver when you come! Hey, Childe, seeing that you are about the same age, go and try? ”

Seventeen? Brother?

The young man's heart tightened, and the folding fan in his hand fell off.
