Hua Rujin guessed that Ye Chengwei would be angry this time, but she didn't expect this guy to send someone to take him down.

That's a bit too much.

He came up with the bad idea of sweat medicine himself, and he couldn't complain about me when he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

Seeing the servants come forward, she had to ask with a wry smile: "Lu Dianshi, are you going to tie us up?" The family teacher is a few years old, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to tie up the flowers, right? ”

"Offended, Miss Flower."

Lu Xiuyuan was now afraid that she would escape again, and he had delayed the important matter explained by the magistrate, so he had to stubbornly order the servants to act according to the law.

"Ahem, Lu Dianshi is just worried that I will take the opportunity to escape."

Hua Rujin explained with a smile: "I promise to obediently go to see the county lord, this long journey, let's not see the outside like this, there are still parents and brothers in the people's daughter's family, even if they want to escape, they have to think about it." ”

Lu Xiuyuan thought about it for a while, and then nodded: "As long as Miss Hua is true to her word, this official will never embarrass you." ”

In the middle of the words, he accentuated his tone a little: "But the official has something to say first, if Miss Hua dares to play any moths again, then don't blame the official for being rude." ”

"How so."

Hua Rujin is now eager to go back sooner.

Besides, she didn't want to tie up with Ye Chengwei.

Anyway, I have to point to him for errands in the future.

So, the group set off in a hurry and hurried back to Jiang'an County.

On the way, although Lu Xiuyuan was polite to her, he still made people watch out for her at all times.

After all, they are ruthless people who even dare to turn over the magistrates, how can they not have more eyes.

After a day and a night of driving, even at night, he didn't dare to stop for a while, made torches and continued to rush back, and finally arrived at the Chujiang Temple when the Mid-Autumn Festival dawn rose.

When the first glimmer of light in the early morning spilled into the temple hall, Ye Chengwei felt anxious when he heard the movements around him one after another.

Although he has been looking for clues day and night in the past few days, he has not gained anything other than sensing that the floating corpses in the river may be related to Baitou Mountain.

Seeing that the deadline had reached today, and thinking that all the gentry were about to arrive at the temple, he could only prepare for the worst.

There are traces of this matter, as long as you go out and save the lives of more than 100 people, there will always be someone who will find out about this matter with the determination to break the casserole and ask to the end.

Having strengthened his belief, Ye Chengwei led Ting An to the temple to take care of the courtyard of the sacrifices.

Looking at the pair of frightened eyes in the courtyard, he walked up to Cheng Nini with heavy steps, looking at this little girl who was only seven or eight years old.

Seeing that this girl's expression was indifferent, she seemed much calmer than the others, and his heart suddenly became sour for some reason.

"Look up."

Ye Chengwei commanded in a low voice.

Cheng Nini raised her eyes and stared quietly at this big brother who had sought justice for his parents, and the feeling in her heart at this moment was indescribable.

Ye Chengwei looked at this little girl silently for a long time, thinking of his promise to Hua Rujin, he looked at everyone and spit out a few words: "You don't have to be afraid, I will definitely save everyone's lives today." ”

Then, he led Ting An to leave resolutely.

Outside the courtyard, Ye Chengwei coldly instructed Ting An: "Take my sword and go down the mountain to welcome guests." ”

After counting the team of the county government, a group of people just left the Jiang Temple, and saw a huge number of people coming towards this side.

Ye Chengwei looked at the eyes, led by Han Tongju of the Inspection Division, Wen Yuming, the prefect, and a general in gold armor in the center.

Looking at some familiar faces around him, combined with the person's beautiful appearance, he probably guessed that this person should be Liu Yan, the imperial history of Caojiang who was in charge of Jiang Defense.

With the attitude of saluting first and then soldiering, he respectfully bowed to a few people and said, "Your Excellency has seen you. ”

"Lord Ye is exempt."

Liu Yan heard something from the soldiers below about this guy driving the people from the Jiangfang Captain's Mansion out of Baitou Mountain, and he was afraid that the Captain's Mansion would have a conflict with this person, so he had to hurry back himself.

"I heard that Lord Ye is quite concerned about the sacrifice of Chu Jiang, and there is Lord Lao Ye these days."

His words were very polite, and he never mentioned his gambling with the Inspection Department and the Jingzhou Mansion.

Wen Yuming is an external official, although Han Su is in charge of the inspection department, but after all, he is only a low-level official, how can he know the situation in Beijing.

Liu Yan is very clear about the origin of this year's champion, not only is the first assistant important, but it is rumored that he is also quite related to the official book, and he does not dare to offend easily.

Seeing that he was so respectful to him, Ye Chengwei didn't dare to slack off, and replied politely: "It's all the duty of the lower officials, and the Admiral doesn't have to see him." ”

"That being the case, I'm relieved."

Liu Yan secretly glanced at Wen Yuming and Han Suo, for fear that the two of them would mention the matter of the inspection department betting again, so he pretended to have nothing to do and ordered: "The auspicious time has come, it is better to hurry up and sacrifice the time." ”

"Yes, yes, what Admiral Liu said is extremely true."

Wen Yuming hurriedly echoed: "This is a big deal, and it can't be delayed." ”

As soon as the words fell, a commotion suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Wait." ”

Listening to the familiar voice, Ye Chengwei turned his head to look, and saw the flowers rushing back like a brocade of dust.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is something strange about the grievances and corpses that have been rumored in Chu Jiang recently, and I also ask you to postpone the sacrifice."

Hua Rujin strode to a few people and said truthfully.

"Shut up."

Ye Chengwei was already resentful of her, and as soon as she came back, she boasted in front of high-ranking officials in the military and political circles, and she really didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

glared at Lu Xiuyuan viciously, and reprimanded urgently: "Don't take this crazy woman down quickly." ”

Lu Xiuyuan was about to take someone to do an errand in a panic, but Liu Yan unhurriedly stopped the errand officer who stepped forward: "Why should Lord Ye be in a hurry, this girl dares to open her mouth, there must be sufficient evidence, you might as well listen to her high arguments, lest anyone be unconvinced." ”

He was dignified and Jiangfang, and the commander of the Jiang Dynasty actually made a small magistrate stumble, and there was no complaint, so he had to take people to be angry, and this woman happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

Admiral Liu laughed.

Ye Chengwei saw his ill intentions, so he deliberately ridiculed: "She is a woman, how can she have any lofty opinions, you adults should not blame." ”

Hua Rujin couldn't figure out what Ye Chengwei was planning at this time, and the officials and gentry of the entire Jiang'an County were present today, so she had to seize this opportunity to express her guesses, so she couldn't care about Ye Chengwei's obstruction, and said directly and loudly:

"Minnu, may I ask Han Tong's judgment, how many corpses have been salvaged from the Chu River by the Inspection Division in consecutive months?"

Han Su groaned slightly: "As of yesterday, about 2,300 corpses have been salvaged from the river. ”

"I heard that eighteen years ago, the Jingzhou Government organized a team of tens of thousands of people to go to the north to deliver grain, and nearly 3,000 people have not been heard from so far, so may I ask you, where did these 3,000 people go?"

Hua Rujin's voice was a little hurried, and she continued to ask.

When everyone heard this, they all frowned.
