Chapter 14 The Old, the Weak, the Sick and the Disabled

"The last time you went, did you drink that flowery and moon-looking tea?" After walking a distance, Ye Yuanzhou asked Du Ruo.

Du Ruo nodded: "It should be, I also asked the guy to recommend a kind of tea that day, preferably with Songzhou characteristics, then the guy served me a pot of tea, the color of the tea soup is richer than ordinary tea, and it is slightly turbid."

When I came out, I also took the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the teacup on the table of the female guest next to me, which was very similar to what I drank that day.

At that time, I didn't know about it, but I thought it was a special tea soup in Songzhou, and the price was very fair, so I didn't suspect it.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid there is another article in that tea soup. ”

"I didn't know in the past that there was such a mysterious teahouse owner in Pingcheng County." Ye Yuanzhou's expression was also much more severe than when he first went out in the morning.

"Yes, I just don't know if this boss is the same person as the 'owner' in the mouth of the gangster who carried the sedan chair that day." Du Ruo remembered what happened that day, and couldn't help but feel a little more afraid, but when he looked at Ye Yuanzhou walking beside him, the uneasiness in his heart receded a little.

The two of them walked forward for a while, and they saw a black-faced man hurrying over, and when they passed by Ye Yuanzhou, the two of them almost collided together, which startled Du Ruo.

Ye Yuanzhou was very calm, and after staggering with the black-faced man, after walking out of the road without saying a word, he pulled Du Ruo into an alley next to him, and then in Du Ruo's surprised gaze, his hand shook and shook out a note.

"This ......" Du Ruo looked at the note, unable to react for a while.

Ye Yuanzhou unfolded the note and said to her, "The one with the black face just now is my person." ”

Du Ruo was not surprised by this, it was not unusual at all to fold the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, she just felt that the two of them were separated as soon as they met each other, and in such a short period of time, they were able to pass on the news unconsciously.

Ye Yuanzhou quickly finished reading it, tucked the note back into his sleeve, and motioned Du Ruo to speed up: "We have to take a shortcut back, what you are looking for has been found!" ”

Du Ruo was not familiar with the route in Pingcheng County, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and followed Ye Yuanzhou.

What she wanted Ye Yuanzhou to help find was nothing more than a dossier and a corpse similar to "Bai Wuchang's wife".

If it is a file grid, it can be sent to the Governor's Mansion openly, after all, whether it is Ye Yuanzhou, who is usually in charge of many criminal and prison cases in the state, or himself, who has just taken office, it is natural to read the file grid.

can be so secret, I'm afraid it will be the corpse of "Bai Wuchang's wife"!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel refreshed, and she walked more energetically under her feet.

In the past, whenever he assisted in the autopsy and investigation of the case, there were always people who pointed fingers and commented in private, but now he is a dignified Songzhou Sima, and he began to investigate the unsolved case, find the truth, and see who dares to criticize anything!

She wanted to see what was going on with this snow-white corpse.

Along the way, Du Ruo tacitly didn't ask too much, after all, Ye Yuanzhou's news to him was so secretive, and it was not difficult to guess the reason behind it.

Under the leadership of Ye Yuanzhou, after some twists and turns, the two actually went around to the back door of the Governor's Mansion, Ye Yuanzhou called to open the door and took Du Ruo in, and then took out the note in his sleeve and handed it to her.

Du Ruo looked at this, and couldn't help but marvel that the spies in Shangzhichong Mansion were really extraordinary, and in such a short period of time, they really found another "Bai Wuchang wife".

This time the strange thing happened is far away from Pingcheng County, Yuanchuan County, which belongs to the same Songzhou boundary as Pingcheng County, about half a month ago, a woman who had been missing for a long time was found to be a corpse, and the same as outside Pingcheng County before, it was also snow-white from head to toe, without blood.

The county government of Yuanchuan County had already heard about the strange incident in Pingcheng County, and felt that it was too bad luck, so they wanted to burn the corpse as soon as possible, so they all explained it according to "Bai Wuchang marrying a wife".

Unfortunately, this time it was not an ordinary village girl who died in Yuanchuan County, but the daughter of a wealthy family in the county.

The Yuan Chuan County Commander wanted to be perfunctory, but the father and mother of the dead woman refused to be so confused, and insisted on an explanation, not to let his daughter die in vain, and not to be punished by the law without villains.

But the original Sichuan County Commander thought that he couldn't give anything to say, after all, there was a precedent in Pingcheng County, but he couldn't afford to offend this rich man, so he had to find a way to stabilize the other party, hoping to drag it out as much as possible, until the family couldn't do it, and he gave up.

So the woman's body was temporarily kept, but the county government kept this matter secretively and didn't even mention it, hoping that everyone would forget about it as soon as possible.

But there is no impermeable wall in this world, and the woman's family has never given up asking for an explanation, so she quickly called the spies of the Zhichong Mansion to inquire clearly.

The spies looked at the attitude of the Yuanchuan County Government so vaguely, afraid that they would go back with great fanfare to report that Ye Yuanzhou would startle the snake, so that the Yuanchuan County Commander, who was already afraid of things, hurriedly disposed of the woman's body, so he chose to secretly pass on the news, and killed the county commander by surprise.

Du Ruo was overjoyed, but then realized that her belongings were all on the way with the servants, and she hadn't arrived yet, and the bag of tools she had specially packed in her luggage naturally couldn't be counted on.

She had no choice but to ask Ye Yuanzhou to prepare for the departure, and prepared to go to the Pingcheng County Ya by herself to borrow a few tools from the servants there.

She told Ye Yuanzhou what she thought, and was about to leave, but was pulled by Ye Yuanzhou: "You can't go like this." ”

"Brother Ye doesn't have to worry, I need to be careful when I go elsewhere, it should be safe to go to Pingcheng County." Du Ruo thought he was worried about his safety when he went out alone.

As a result, he saw Ye Yuanzhou shaking his head to himself with a smile, took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

"You are Sima from Songzhou Mansion, it doesn't matter if you go to Pingcheng County in men's clothes or women's clothes, but it's better to wipe your eyebrows and that mole." He said to Du Ruo with a smile.

Du Ruo remembered that the two black caterpillars on his face, as well as Ye Yuanzhou's "icing on the cake" before going out in the morning, suddenly smiled, took the handkerchief and asked the mother-in-law to bring him some water, and scrubbed all the parts traced with charcoal, and then hurriedly set off to borrow tools from the county office.

Although Sima is an idle position and does not have any fixed jurisdiction, after all, the official position is there, even if it is a lower state like Songzhou, the dignified Sima is also an official of the imperial court from the six grades, and the county order has to be polite when he sees her, not to mention the few servants of the county government.

But although his attitude is very good, Du Ruo has a headache.

The shopkeeper was really not exaggerating at all, if these few puppets had to find a word to describe them, at this moment she could only think of four words in her mind - "old, weak, sick and disabled".
