In the early morning of Youzhou City, many people were still asleep, Ye Qingzhi followed the couple to their home, and Liang Le also came out after hearing the sound, following Ye Qingzhi. After walking for a long time on the main road, they turned to the alley under a vermilion torii. Inside, there are rows of slums, and unlike the other rows of pavilions on the streets, most of the houses here are made of stone only, and many of them are rudimentary without portals.

There were more people here than outside, young people running around in the alleys, ladies who took their clothes to the river to wash clothes, and middle-aged people who were going to the city to find some short-term jobs. After Ye Qingzhi and his party walked away, they whispered together again, looking suspicious. After a long time of the woman and her husband had gone, they stopped in front of a dilapidated house with a thatched roof and scattered on it, a few beams and columns laid across the walls of yellow mud and irregular stones, the doors of which were planks and the windows of plain paper.

When I pushed the door in, I found that the light inside was good, and the light was shining through various gaps. Ye Qingzhi looked around the whole house, and saw at the windowsill that the window paper was broken from the outside in, and the scattered wallpaper was all on the windowsill in the room, and there was a man's footprint on the windowsill, because the outside of this thatched house was muddy, and there were a few drops of sporadic light rain last night. The footprints stretched all the way into the bedroom.

According to the woman's account, the child was still there when they went to bed last night, and they had been fed once when they were young, and when they got up when they were ugly, the child was gone. I didn't dare to go out at night, and the crying and scolding rang all night.

The next morning, when I was about to report to the official, I met Ye Qingzhi.

Liang Le was about to go around and ask if anyone around had seen the characters, and went out. Ye Qingzhi found a reflective object in a corner of the room. Ye Qingzhi took a closer look and found that it was a waist card with Ya written on it. How did this thing end up in this place?

"Auntie, is this waist card your thing?" Ye Qingzhi asked the woman with the waist card, and the woman quickly shook her head and said, "Girl, I haven't seen this thing, how can our family have such a valuable thing." I haven't seen it yesterday when I cleaned the room, where did you get it"

Ye Qingzhi knew that this waist card was not from this family, and since it appeared here in this waist card, it means that it is very likely to be a prisoner.

Not long after, Liang Le returned, and he said that yesterday someone went out to the toilet after the child's time, and saw a watchman patrolling here, and looked nervously at the door of the stolen child.

Ye Qingzhi understood in her heart, and then said to the woman, "Auntie, you are waiting for my news at home now, I want to go out!" The woman said yes while crying.

After Liang Le and Ye Qingzhi glanced at each other, they understood what the other party was thinking. Then he walked out of the slum to the county office. There was no stop on the road, and it didn't take long for him to appear at the yamen. As for the first visit, the gate was closed, and the two stone lions were napping outside the door with their mouths wide open. Picking up the Dengwen drum stick, Ye Qingzhi hit the drum fiercely, and every sound was deafening. It didn't take long for the door to open, and it was the master who came out, smiling at Ye Qingzhi. "It turned out that the Lord of Dali Temple came, please come in, please come in. ”

After the two entered the door, they took out the token of Dali Temple and handed it directly to the master. "Dali Temple handled the case, and everyone in your yamen was concentrated in the public court, remember that it was everyone!"

"The little one doesn't dare to disobey, so I'll go and inform you!" a gleam flashed in the Lord's eyes, and then he went to inform him. When the two came to the court, Liang Le sat in the position where the county lieutenant usually tried the case, and there was a shock. 'Smack'. Dozens of people came out from the bottom, 'mighty~' and then the county lieutenant and his party came out and stood on top of the public court.

Liang Le took out a waist card and said, "This is the waist card of your county government, because the waist card is one by one, and if you lose it, you have to make up for it and send an official document Now, all of you office people will take out your waist card, and I will let people check it."

Everyone in the public hall took out their waist cards, and from time to time they looked to know whose waist cards belonged to, and looked left and right. One of the officials looked nervous, and unlike the others who looked around, he seemed to hesitate, not knowing what to think. Cold sweat broke out on his face. It didn't take long for everyone to take out their waist cards.

When Ye Qingzhi checked them one by one, she found that there was only one person who did not have a waist card. This person was the one with a pale face just now. Pick this man out of the middle of the procession and stand above the court.

"Who's in the hall!" the official fell to his knees as soon as there was a startling sound.

"My lord, wronged!!"

"Do you have any grievances, just ask you if this waist card is yours?" Liang Le looked at the man below with contempt above the court.

"I've been losing this card for a long time!" said the official with a dodgy look.

"Where were you last night?"

"The villain was on duty last night, and I was still out on duty when I was young!"

"Is there such a thing, but in the alleys of the Wang family?"

"Yes, yes, how do you know, my lord!" the official was a little pleased.

Everyone else was watching the excitement, they didn't even know what happened last night, and they didn't know what the two Dali Temple people were investigating.

"Bold officer, do you know when you committed last night?"

The official was startled by Liang Le's sudden roar, and his heart trembled with fear. He kept shouting injustice.

"Seeing that you don't see the Yellow River and don't cry, someone came to take off his shoes. As soon as he finished speaking, one of the officials stepped forward, took off his shoes, and placed them on the court. The people around him covered their noses with some disgust. Curiously looked at this man's feet, but didn't notice anything different.

"Witness Chapter 3!" Liang Le gave an order, and the crowd outside the yamen came out, walked to the public hall with high spirits, and bowed to Liang Le.

"Chapter 3, was he the one you saw beating the guard before and after the time last night?"

"Lord Hui, because the sky was gray last night, the villain didn't see it very clearly, but I recognized his voice, and the shouting was even more impressive, so I'm sure it's him. ”

"Look at the soles of his shoes, if there's some paper-like stuff. Qingzhi, you compare the window paper you just brought from Wangjia Lane. Ye Qingzhi agreed, and after the final comparison, she replied, "Lord Hui, after comparison, I found that it was the same material." ”

"The certified materials are all there, can you plead guilty?" Liang Le stared at the official angrily and said in a loud voice.

"Back to the adult, the villain has been wronged! the little one really didn't steal the child!" said the officer, whose face was like a withered tree.

"Oh, when did I talk about stealing babies, you don't talk about yourself anymore. From the truth, where do you put the child, I can still lightly drop. Otherwise, the sins you have committed will be enough for you to be beheaded ten times!!"

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, small moves, all moves. In the past few years, I have relied on the convenience of fighting to steal a lot of children, all because of the threat of 'darkness under the lamp', and Liu Tianyou, who was in the Youzhou stronghold at the time, threatened me to kill me directly if I didn't do it!

"My lord, this man has been working under me for many years, and if he hadn't been threatened, I'm sure he wouldn't have done such a thing. The county lieutenant also interceded for him.

"I don't count how to deal with this, from now on you will follow me into Beijing to see what the Dali Temple has to do. Okay, the case has been solved, you hand over the baby you stole last night, and I will intercede for you when the time comes!" Liang Le waved his hand and ended the trial, ordering the county lieutenant to take a good look at this person, and the two of them went back to clean up and returned to Beijing immediately.

Then Ye Qingzhi followed Liang Le to leave the mansion and walked in the direction of the inn, along the way, many people were thanking the two, saying that they had solved a big case in the past few years, Liang Le thanked them one by one, but Ye Qingzhi had been silent, Liang Le was very strange when he saw Ye Qingzhi like this, obviously the case was solved, why could he return to Beijing, why was his face still full of doubts.

Ye Qingzhi herself can't say why, but she has some doubts, if she really says what doubts are, it means that everything is too smooth. It's like someone handing you a glass of water when you're thirsty, or someone giving you a pillow when you're sleepy.

In the end, I really couldn't figure it out and didn't think about it anymore, and returned to the inn to pack up her things, she found that a man and a woman who went out yesterday have not come back so far, and just asked the boss, and the room they set has not yet returned.

In the yamen, the yamen knelt on the ground and said to the lord Bo, "Three hall masters, have I completed my own business!"

"Very good, you behaved well, the next thing is simple, you are on the way back to Beijing with them, write a suicide note and then commit suicide, so what you have done for the Holy Sect is already immeasurable, and after coming to Bliss, you will be above ten thousand people under one person. Our Holy Sect will also arrange your future affairs for you!!" Lord Bo opened his mouth and said, he is the master of the three halls of the 'Ghost Gate', and this series of things are arranged by him, in order to give an explanation to Dali Temple, so that they can go back to pay their errands.

A hint of ecstasy flashed on the officer's face, and he kept kowtowing to the three hall lords to thank him, and he didn't even know that blood was coming out of his forehead. He kept chanting, 'Die for the sake of the Holy Religion'.

In the end, the three hall lords left, and the county lieutenant ordered this official to be locked up, and when everyone dispersed, a human face appeared on the beam above the public hall, and after snorting coldly, he said, "Sure enough, it is not what the hall master expected." Finally the figure disappeared into the darkness.
