After Lu Xiuyuan took the people away, Ye Chengwei stared at Hua Rujin for a long time, and the curiosity in his heart was even greater: "You know a lot." ”

"It's just a tiger in the class, it's good that Ye Gongzi doesn't smile."

Hua Rujin was not angry for what he blamed him for just now, thinking that he tried his best to protect himself, he also thanked him sincerely: "Thank you Ye Gongzi for being able to speak up regardless of his past suspicions." ”

"You remember that."

Ye Chengwei thought about the bowl of porridge with sweat medicine that she had dropped, and his face was full of helplessness.

This Nizi is really a ghost now, if you don't watch out for it everywhere, you will accidentally get her way.

"It seems that Ye Gongzi has also been haunted."

Hua Rujin knew what he was referring to, and smiled at him.

Horizontal and vertical is a muddled account, and no one can blame anyone.

Ye Chengwei didn't feel angry because of this.

For some reason, she has always been in his mind from time to time recently, and in the past few days, he is even a little unaccustomed to missing such a sworn enemy who has been against him all day long.

Thinking about the situation when she spoke freely in front of those high-ranking officials, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat at this time.

Slowly approaching her, the emotions in Ye Chengwei's eyes were a little complicated, and he said in a low tone: "Hua Rujin, I know that you are not willing to be mediocre and a benevolent person, but remember to inform me in advance what you want to do in the future." ”

"If I hadn't found these clues today, what would Ye Gongzi have done?"

Hua Rujin thought back to the situation when he pointed at Liu Yan, and she was also embarrassed in her heart.

"I've got a solution."

Ye Chengwei smiled faintly, and then hurriedly changed the topic: "After driving for so long, you are hungry, I will ask Ting'an to prepare some food for you, you can rest here, and leave the rest to me, you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

After a day and a night's journey, Hua Rujin had long been tired of becoming a dog, but before the dust settled, how could she have the heart to sleep.

And the group behind this case is obviously not simple.

She also asked with some concern, "If this matter is involved"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Ye Chengwei directly stopped her questioning, shook his head and said: "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, as long as the evidence is conclusive, no one can escape the punishment of the law." ”

After the words fell, he instructed Ting An to ask for some food from the army in the Jiangfang garrison, and personally watched Hua Rujin finish her meal in the house, and then went out to continue waiting for news when she rested.

Lu Xiuyuan summoned nearby fishermen and salvage teams, and used the diving equipment they provided to dive more than ten meters to the bottom of the water along the waters near the Jiangfang station, and finally found the source of the blackened water.

I saw that the entire part of the water that leaned against the mountain had collapsed in a large area, and a steady stream of black water continued to pour out.

Lu Xiuyuan ordered people to find several corpses near the collapsed mine, as well as some tools for mining the mine, because the water pressure was too high, coupled with the serious pollution of the water, it was difficult to continue the search, so he had to order everyone to return to the waterfront and truthfully report the underwater situation to the magistrate.

Ye Chengwei looked at the several corpses and mining utensils that were salvaged, which was enough to prove that what Hua Rujin said was true, and immediately questioned Liu Yan: "Lord Admiral, as the Admiral of Jiangfang, you dare to hide this unconscionable evil deed for others, what kind of face do you have to go back to Beijing to meet Your Majesty again?" ”

"This"

Liu Yan looked frightened, and said hesitantly: "Lord Ye, I really don't know about it." ”

After that, he hurriedly went to ask Wei Shuhan: "Old Wei, although I am leading the Jiangfang, I have never heard of a coal kiln hidden in this Baitou Mountain." ”

Wei Shuhan clasped his hands in front of his chest, he knew that Zhuang Yuanlang was intimidating Liu Yan, and he also echoed: "Admiral Liu, now is not the time to investigate your fault, if you think of Your Majesty coming to avoid punishment, the top priority is to cooperate with Zhuang Yuanlang to find out the ins and outs of the matter and reduce your guilt." ”

After looking at Wen Yuming meaningfully, he continued to add: "What should be caught, what should be tried, and calming down the people's anger is the most important thing,"

"What Wei Lao said is extremely true."

Liu Yan faced Ye Chengwei with understanding, and the whole person immediately became extremely deferential: "From today onwards, the personnel of the entire Jiangfang garrison will listen to Ye Zhixian's dispatch, and they will definitely cooperate with Ye Zhixian to find out the matter." ”

"Thank you."

Ye Chengwei replied.

What is most needed at the moment is manpower, not only to search for as many other corpses as possible buried in the ground, but also to seize the time to arrest all the criminals.

After thinking for a moment, he calmly ordered: "Then please trouble Lord Admiral to immediately arrest the evil Taoist priest who has bewitched the people, and send someone to summon the nearby people to come to Baitou Mountain to identify the body." ”

Liu Yan did not hesitate, and with a wave of his hand, the sergeants under his hands hurried to various places.

Ye Chengwei's heart is like a mirror, this matter is inseparable from ten and His Royal Highness King Yun, three thousand lives are under his nose, since he can't protect his heart, he can only tear his face with him.

So no matter how things end, he has to make things unending in advance and let the people's grievances boil, so that he will not fall into passivity.

Thinking of this, he instructed Lu Xiuyuan: "You immediately send someone to arrest and detain all the officials who served in Jiang'an County eighteen years ago. ”

After glancing at Wen Yuming with deep eyes, he said to Han Su with a light smile: "Han Tongju, if you want to say that this incident eighteen years ago was only difficult for these little officials in Jiang'an County to do, and they can hide three thousand people in the mountains without knowing it, and I am afraid that no one will dare to believe it without the power of some state or even provincial capitals." ”

Han Su understood the meaning of his words, and hurriedly agreed: "The inspection department is willing to listen to Lord Ye's dispatch. ”

Ye Chengwei didn't answer, Han Su suddenly understood his intentions, and walked up to Wen Yuming and made a gesture of invitation: "Governor Wen, offended, if the lower official remembers correctly, you were the general judge of Jingzhou Mansion eighteen years ago, and you were in charge of the state government's money, grain, and servitude, so please ask the prefect to go to the Inspection Department with the lower officials." ”

Wen Yuming was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still argued on the basis of reason: "Han Tong's judgment, this government doesn't know about this matter." ”

But how can the inspection department take care of this, now Han Su just wants to draw a clear line with Wen Yuming, and with a tough attitude, he directly sent someone to control Wen Yuming and the officials around him.

Thinking of the deaths of Tuhong and Liu Cheng, Ye Chengwei deliberately told Han Suo: "Han Tongju, I hope that before the matter is settled, none of the prisoners detained by the Inspection Department will have an accident. ”

Han Su hurriedly reassured: "Please rest assured, Lord Ye, the lower officials are measured." ”

Ye Chengwei smiled and shook his head, looking at the surrounding people who came one after another, he felt inexplicably sour, and said to Tang Haoran with a calm face: "Tang County Cheng, you immediately recruit the people to dig out the collapsed mine, and be sure to search out the bodies of all the people who were killed. ”

Tang Haoran silently glanced at Wen Yuming, who had been controlled, and arched his hand with a solemn face: "The subordinate officer receives the order." ”
