Chapter 363: Self-immolation
Gan Heyu came out quickly, although he fell asleep with his head next to the bed, but as soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up.
He was very depressed, and before he had time to get angry, his subordinates said that Xia Yue was coming, and he got up.
The official is a few levels lower, but it is so humble.
Gan Heyu washed his face with cold water and went to see Xia Yue in good spirits.
Xia Yue is still very good at talking, and he doesn't waste time by talking nonsense, so he gets straight to the point: "The case of the painting boat, Master Gan already understands it." ”
"Yes, yes." Gan He said busily: "Xiaguan is investigating. ”
"But what's the progress?"
"Not yet." Gan Heyu was very uneasy: "Xiaguan ......"
Xia Yue interrupted Gan Heyu's tirade of confession that he was ready to talk about at any time, and told him what had just happened.
Gan and Cozy listened to it and was stunned.
Xia Yue said: "I want to ask Lord Gan to send someone over, and I will keep an eye on it for twelve hours." Hua Po claims to be able to ensure that pregnant women give birth to boys and girls, and it is very likely that there is a phenomenon of buying baby boys. ”
Otherwise, where did so many boys come from.
There may also be female infanticide.
Gan and Yu nodded again and again.
"Xiaguan will arrange it." Gan and Cozy hurriedly responded.
Go to bed? What is sleeping? If you do your job well, you can sleep in the future, and if you don't do your job well, you will have to sleep on the street in the future.
Soon, Gan Heyu arranged people and went to the place Xia Yue said.
But before the officials could get to the place, they hurried back again.
It was already dark, and Xia Yue was planning to take Ye Caitang home.
I was supposed to take her out to play last night, thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun, and having a happy night, who knew that she had encountered such a mess of things, and she was busy for a day and a night before she finished it, and she was really unhappy.
After entering the mansion, Xia Yue said to Ye Caitang: "You go to rest first and eat something." I'm going to talk to my father about this, and I'll come to you later. ”
Ye Caitang responded.
Although I also bathed and changed clothes and rested for a while last night, after all, I was outside, I didn't wash and sleep well, and I was a little tired at this time.
Seeing Ye Caitang coming back, the maid hurriedly went to prepare.
Ye Caitang sat at the table to rest, stretched his waist, saw the little girl standing on the side, and beckoned.
"Come on."
The little girl hurriedly walked over.
"Miss Ye."
The eldest young master brought the girl to the door for the first time, this is the future eldest and young grandmother, and she must be served.
Ye Caitang smiled: "I've been busy all day today, my shoulders are so sore, can you help me give me a beating?" ”
Ye Caitang will enjoy it, someone can call it, and you are definitely welcome.
How dare the little girl refuse, and hurriedly responded.
Ye Caitang leaned back on the chair with her eyes closed, and the little maid's strength was just right, making her drowsy.
Suddenly, a voice whispered in my ear, "How about this strength?" ”
Ye Caitang snorted sleepily, how did he suddenly feel that something was wrong, and opened his eyes suddenly.
I saw that the little maid behind me didn't know when it was replaced by Xia Yue.
Xia Yue had already changed her clothes and was pinching her shoulders.
Although his hands are not as soft as the maid's, the acupuncture points are very accurate and more comfortable.
"Yes, yes, reward." Ye Caitang casually took out two taels of silver from his arms and gave them to Xia Yue, and then lazily lay on the table.
"Beat it on your back, do a good job, and reward you with two taels of silver."
Xia Yue was very emotional when he took two taels of silver.
It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
Back then, Ye Caitang only had two taels of silver a month, and now he dares to reward two taels of silver when he makes a move.
Xia Yue took two taels of silver into his arms and rolled up his sleeves: "Come, let you see my skills." ”
Xia Yue was about to work hard to earn another two taels of silver, and his steps outside the door were hurried.
When he heard the footsteps, he was depressed.
Eighty percent of things are wrong, otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Sure enough, the footsteps stopped at the door.
"Young Master." It was a small servant in his yard: "Someone from the yamen came, and Lord Gan came to you and said that there was something urgent." ”
Xia Yue had no choice but to say, "I know, I'll go over immediately." ”
Ye Caitang waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”
Business is important, you go busy, I'll take a bath and go to sleep.
Although the people outside were anxious, they stood by the door with their hands down, neither daring to urge nor to look inside.
Fortunately, Xia Yue is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private, and he knows that it must be a serious matter for Gan Heyu to send someone to him, if he handles it himself.
The world was finally quiet, Ye Caitang was humming a little song and was drowsy, and suddenly Xia Yue came in again.
Ye Caitang had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Ye Caitang looked at Xia Yue and prayed in his heart, don't speak, don't speak, don't speak.
But unfortunately, Xia Yue said: "Maybe, I'm going to have to make a trip." ”
"What's wrong?"
It's so late, if it weren't for a big event, Xia Yue wouldn't let himself go.
Xia Yue said: "The people of the Yamen, after they arrived at Hua Po's place, they found that her house was on fire, although they had immediately put out the fire, but the fire was very large......"
Ye Caitang was also surprised: "What about Xiaofei?" ”
Didn't Ou Xiuran's subordinate stare at the gate of Hua Po's courtyard?
"When they went, Xiao Fei was already fighting the fire." Xia Yue said: "But the fire is easy to extinguish when lit, and it is useless for him to look at it there, saying that the fire is burning from the inside." ”
It's really weird.
Xia Yue said: "Xiao Fei said that he kept staring, and Hua Po never came out inside, so eighty percent of them were burned inside." ”
Ye Caitang understood, so he wanted her to go to see the first scene.
What's the problem, after all, I still have three taels of silver a month.
Fortunately, now she is very good at riding, even at night, there are no major problems.
When Ye Caitang arrived, the fire in Hua Po's yard had almost been extinguished.
The sporadic fires were still lit, and there were villagers on the side splashing buckets of water on the side.
Ou Xiuran also came, Xiao Fei was his person, he was very depressed, told you to watch, how to look at it, and see the fire.
However, Xia Yue was still very fair and spoke to Xiaofei: "You can't blame him, he doesn't know what Hua Po is doing in the house." It's too late to find out, the fire is so dangerous, he can't be asked to rush in for a mother-in-law. ”
Xiao Fei nodded repeatedly.
Lord Xia, you are such a good person.
Ou Xiuran didn't plan to punish Xiao Fei much, but he was a little embarrassed on his face.
Now that people can't enter, Ye Caitang looked at the mess and said strangely: "Why did Hua Po set herself on fire?" Are we exposed? Even if we were exposed, she wouldn't set herself on fire, would she? Wouldn't you like to whirl around and struggle a little? ”
Ou Xiuran muttered: "Could it be that she did the painting boat's case?" Seeing that we found out here, we knew that we couldn't run away, and instead of being arrested and tortured, it was better to commit suicide? ”
