Chapter 51: The Memories of the Clerk, the Man Behind the Scenes
Early the next morning, Yu Chen went down the mountain.
First, with a grimace, he went to Xie Qing and asked him to sort out all the information of the Blackwater Gang.
- Since it is determined that it is an enemy, sooner or later it will be confronted, and only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one not be defeated in a hundred battles.
And what about Xie Qing?
That's called a jubilation!
Looking at this murderous look, and asking for information from the Blackwater Gang, it is impossible for him to have dinner with them, right?
In short, the underworld leader agreed, and promised to compile all the information of the Blackwater Gang into a book as soon as possible.
Yu Chen listened, and left, waiting for two days to come back to get things.
After finding a remote alley, he hid the ghost face of Senluo, re-transformed into the grave boy who looked sick, and went to the street.
Walking out of the south of the city, it was not early, and the streets and alleys covered with heavy snow were bustling with people of all kinds.
Yu Chen was too lazy to go up the mountain to cook on the fire, so he casually found a noodle restaurant, ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles and a bowl of hot soup, and swallowed it with a grunt, warm and warm.
When I got up, I settled the bill and prepared to go back to the mountain.
But when passing by the junction of the overpass and the dry bridge, he broke through and stopped, looked at an ancient house on the edge of the overpass, and his eyes narrowed.
ββIn the wind and snow, on the house, there was a faint ghostly light flickering.
Yu Chen, who has crossed countless ghosts, how can he not know that this is an unjust soul with an attempted wish!
He took a few steps closer as if nothing had happened.
I listened to the crying in the mansion, and it was extremely sad!
Looking at that appearance, eighty or ninety percent are afraid that someone has died in the family.
Just as Yu Chen was thinking, a ghost stepped over the deep wall and walked out.
It was the ghost of a thin, stiff old man, with gray hair, a cane, and a thick cloth gown.
- Compared to those ghosts that Yu Chen had seen before, he was more decent.
Yu Chen first took a look, and always felt a little familiar.
It took a long time before I slapped my head!
Do you know this person?
I only saw it two days ago!
Isn't it the secretary of the Yamen Treasury Division?
On the eighth day of the lunar month, Yu Chen went to collect the money, only to see the old man!
How did it take two or three days to die?
But now is not the place to speak, Yu Chen saw that there was no one around, held the Duren Sutra in his hand, took the ghost of the old man into it, and then went to the Qingfeng Mausoleum.
When he returned to the house, he spread out the Sutra and saw the old man on the bank of the Huangquan River, on crutches, sighing, and unwilling to leave for a long time.
At the same time, the marquee of his life flashed in front of Yu Chen's eyes one by one.
The old man's surname is Zhou, he is over 60 years old, and he was the secretary of the Yingku Division of the Weishui Yamen.
This Yingku Division is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, which is the place where the Weishui Yamen manages the accounts, and the secretary is equivalent to the front desk and accountant in the previous life.
Every month of the year, the monthly salaries of Weishui's large and small officials and Yu Chen, who eat yamen meals, flow out of the Yingkusi.
This secretary is not big, but it is also a small official.
But it is not small to say that it is not small, and the money of the entire Weishui Yamen has to go through his hands.
And this week's secretary was elected by the county magistrate when he took office, and he has been doing it for nearly 20 years now.
So how did he die?
Yu Chen looked over again, and then he suddenly realized.
It's ridiculous to say that Zhou Sishu has a bad relationship with his son, so he has developed a problem of drinking at night in recent years.
No, last night, half a pound of wine went down, it was late at night, and when I entered the house, I was dizzy, and when I fell, my head hit the threshold, and I passed out.
The family heard the movement, and quickly called the doctor of the medical hall, and sent a message to Zhou Sishu, who was doing business in the state capital.
Early this morning, even though the doctor in the medical hall treated him for a night, Zhou Sishu still didn't resist it, and he was breathless.
Seeing this, Yu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Drink and drink!
Although the secretary kept a straight face all day this week, when Yu Chen went to collect the money, he was never deducted a little, and he was an impartial person.
Why can't you see it?
Yu Chen continued to read.
But I haven't seen Zhou Sishu's last wish, but I saw it first...... Is he on his own?
There was one thing to say, Yu Chen was stunned.
I see him once a month, no more than ten breaths at a time, Zhou Sishu actually remembers that his name is Yu Chen, and he knows that he is Yu Tie's child at the beginning?
Yu Chen continued to read.
Let's say that this week's impression of Yu Chen can be traced back to fifteen years ago, at that time, Yu Chen was more than four years old, and Yu Tiesheng and his wife were beheaded, which was when the Chen family's murder tragedy was in an uproar.
At that time, Zhou Sishu received a secret order from the superiors, asking him to find someone to disguise himself as all kinds of people, and send some food and clothes to the child of the criminal household under the bridge, so that he could not go hungry, but not ostentatious, because the Chen family extermination case was too sensational, and their children were naturally not very welcome.
Later, the man also ordered Zhou Sishu to arrange a job for him that did not violate his identity as a criminal household when Yu Chen reached his teens.
- This can give Zhou Sishu a headache for a while.
This is not against the identity of the sinner, and it is an idle job, but it is really hard to find!
Fortunately, Mr. Qin took a step ahead of time, entrusted the relationship of the Zhengqing Gang, and arranged Yu Chen to Qingfeng Mausoleum.
Zhou Sishu didn't continue to worry about it.
And even so, Zhou Sishu was told by that person that when Yu Chen came to receive the money, he couldn't deduct a child.
Seeing this, Yu Chen's face was already quite weird.
Because, in Zhou Sishu's marquee memory, the person who gave the order was the current county magistrate of Weishui!
A dignified county lord has been paying attention to himself since fifteen years ago?
Why?
Anyway, it's definitely not because of Yu Chen's own reasons, nor is it because of the Sutra of Salvation that has only appeared recently.
Well, there is only one answer.
- His father's mother.
Because of his father who had his head cut off, the county magistrate took good care of him.
Seeing this, Yu Chen's mind was even more confused about what was going on.
- Previously, I got the news from Xiao Zihua that he was in the position of the chief arrester of Weishui because he framed Yu Tiesheng and his wife.
And the Blackwater Gang is most likely incapable of interfering in the appointment and dismissal of a chief arrest position, so Yu Chen guessed that among the people who framed his parents, there must be people from the yamen.
And the county lord is quite suspicious.
- After all, the decision of who will be the chief arrest is a matter of his words, and even if it is a former disciple of the "sinner", as long as the county master wants to help people up, it is not a big problem.
But now, in Zhou Sishu's marquee, what the county magistrate did could not be the murderer who framed Yu Chen's father.
Otherwise, he really hurt Yu Chen's father and mother, he was afraid that he would like Yu Chen to die, so why did he secretly send someone to take care of him?
Similarly, if the county magistrate is on Yu Tiesheng's side in the Chen family's extermination case, then Xiao Zihua, who framed Yu Tiesheng, wants to take office as the chief arrester, and the county magistrate will not tolerate it.
So in this case, in the entire Weishui Yamen, who else can withstand the pressure of the county master and send Xiao Zihua to the position of chief arrester?
For some reason, a young, gentle and handsome face suddenly appeared in Yu Chen's mind.
That Sven smiling tiger with the blood of a beast hidden under his exterior.
The big man whose power is on par with the county lord and even surpasses it.
That Weishui was recognized as the only powerful existence that had transcended the innate and stepped into the ethereal realm of refining Qi cultivation.
- Wangqi Division, Director!
