Chapter 73 It is true that someone is deliberately attacking you.
Ye Qing, with a solemn expression, quickly rushed into the bedroom.
He threw his clothes in the closet onto the bed and said quickly:
"Brother Qi, you sent me home last night, but I didn't see you when I opened the door. After searching for it, I found you unconscious in an alley with only your underpants on you."
"I was too drunk, so I carried you back without any clothes."
Upon hearing this.
Qi Dangguo's expression became solemn and panicked.
He subconsciously touched the back of his head. When the swollen bump was touched, he grimaced in pain.
"Grandma, I should have been slapped with a sap!"
He quickly put Ye Qing's clothes on.
Fortunately, Ye Qing was not short, and although it was thinner than him, it still fit him well, but it was tight on his body, which highlighted his strength.
"Let's go out and look for it quickly."
Qi Dangguo, who tried hard to recall last night but couldn't remember anything, got off the bed in a hurry, looked at the empty ground, his face was extremely gloomy, and he cursed:
"You bastard, I even took off your shoes."
During the conversation.
The two of them ran out like a storm.
Ye Qing relied on his memory.
In the third narrow alley to the south of the house, I found a dusty money bag.
Qi Dangguo bent down and picked up the empty one, still holding on to fantasy, and turned it over. During the shaking, nothing was spilled except dust.
clatter!
The money bag was hit hard on the ground, making a soft sound and causing a cloud of dust to rise.
"Damn, this is wrong, let's go to the government office quickly."
Qi Dangguo's temples had bulging veins, his face was extremely ugly, and there was unconcealable worry and anger in his eyes. He took a step and ran towards the government office.
Ye Qing hurriedly followed, while thinking in his mind:
"There was something wrong with the wine last night. Even if I get drunk, I won't be in pieces. And the wine in Zuixiang Pavilion is famous for not giving me a headache the next day."
"Furthermore, I consciously went to look for Qi Dangguo and found that he had been stripped of his clothes. I should have immediately sought help from the Yangzhou guards or bad guys patrolling the streets, but I did not do that. I just subconsciously carried Qi Dangguo home. This is not right.
!”
"Furthermore, Qi Dangguo was a subordinate in the torture chamber, and all his clothes were stripped off, but he was spared his life."
"Generally, thieves will not attack subordinate officials. Even if they attack, they will only take money."
"If Qi Dangguo is using his identity to do evil things, what should have happened last night?"
"If nothing happened last night, why did the people who robbed Qi Dangguo do it? Keep their badges and officials' clothes for later use?"
Somehow, Ye Qing subconsciously thought of Wang Datou's case.
The merciless eyes of the thin masked man appeared in his mind, causing him to stop running wildly.
It didn't take long for the two of them, who were running all the way, to reach the government office.
As soon as they entered the backyard of the government office, they saw He Bao and others kneeling outside Matthew's duty room.
I sensed someone coming.
The dejected people raised their heads one after another.
When they saw Qi Dangguo wearing ill-fitting clothes, everyone sighed inwardly, with a look of pity in their eyes.
But when they saw that Ye Qing was still dressed in black as an official, everyone's eyes suddenly became complicated.
The right way is to worry not about scarcity but about inequality.
They all went to Zuixiang Pavilion to eat, drink and play. They all lost their clothes, but Ye Qing was fine.
How do they accept this in their hearts?
Ye Qing wanted to ask something and was about to speak.
He saw Wang Liu's warning eyes and shook his head slightly towards him.
Looking at the way He Bao and others looked at him, it was obviously wrong.
Ye Qing kept walking and walked into Matthew's check-in room with Qi Dangguo, who looked even more flustered.
Matthew's usually gloomy face was now full of anger.
As soon as he saw Qi Dangguo walking in wearing inappropriate clothes.
He laughed angrily, and without waiting for the party and state to greet him, he raised his finger and pointed at the other party and said with a smile:
"Don't tell me, your clothes were stolen too."
Qi Dangguo was stunned. He was flustered and worried, but he just responded to Matthew's words with silence.
Matthew cast his gaze on Ye Qing, who was wearing a black official uniform, and frowned:
"You are in good condition. They said that the whole party and state went to see you off last night. Let's tell them everything about what happened during that time."
Ye Qing, who was calm and collected, recounted what happened last night in detail.
At the end, he looked at Matthew solemnly and said:
"Your Majesty, I feel that the criminals who took action should have targeted the torture chamber long ago."
"Last night, I invited all my colleagues to drink at Zuixiang Pavilion. I just gave them a perfect opportunity to make a move and drugged the wine."
"But my subordinates survived, either because they have just arrived and they are not familiar with them yet, or they have other tricks waiting for me."
Qi Dangguo glanced at Ye Qing with grateful and complicated eyes, then continued to stand with his head bowed.
Matthew, who had regained his former gloominess, glanced at Qi Dangguo.
The ugly fingernails that looked like gnawing teeth were tapping on the table and he said:
"I know the drinking capacity of Xingfang and others, especially He Bao, who is said to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
"According to what you guys said, the drinking last night was not too much. On the contrary, everyone was so drunk that they fell unconscious."
"It's true that someone deliberately targeted you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Dangguo was shocked and thought carefully about everything that happened last night.
He was indeed extremely drunk. Ye Qing and Matthew had no doubt that someone was following them.
Ye Qing, who originally guessed that it was the force behind the masked man, suddenly thought of Shan Dan.
He couldn't help but ask:
"My lord, I wonder how Mr. Shan is doing now?"
"Young Master Shan is fine, only a few of you are affected!"
Matthew's words made Ye Qing more and more suspicious that Shan Dan wanted to punish him, so he resorted to drugging and stealing clothes.
But considering Jiang Nan's death, if Shan Dan really wanted to take action, his tactics would not be so low.
Then, Matthew looked at Ye Qing and said:
"On the contrary, it's you. Since you came to the government office, all kinds of problems have occurred in the execution room and the prison."
"And you drank with them last night, and the gangsters didn't take action against you."
"Ye Qing, even if you are innocent, I still have to doubt you now."
Ye Qing, whose heart sank, bowed and said:
"What your Excellency said is true. Naturally, my subordinates cannot escape suspicion."
"How do you deal with your subordinates? I will have no complaints."
Listening to Ye Qing's calm and composed attitude, regardless of Ye Qing's identity, Matthew's triangular eyes flashed with admiration.
The next moment, Ye Qing bowed again and said sincerely:
"However, I am brave, I hope you can give me a chance."
"Let my subordinates participate in the search of this case, so that my subordinates can prove their innocence."
Matthew, who had already had this intention, saw that Ye Qing took the initiative to advise him, and it really hit his mark, and his eyes became even more appreciative.
He stood up and said:
"Qi Dangguo, go kneel with them outside and wait for the magistrate to show his resignation."
"Yes, sir!"
Qi Dangguo clasped his fists, bowed, and slipped out.
Matthew walked up to Ye Qing, and Ye Qing subconsciously bowed his hands.
After a few breaths.
Matthew stared at Ye Qing and then said: "Follow me."
"Yes, sir!"
Ye Qing hurriedly agreed and walked out with Matthew.
In the yard.
The people in the execution room who were communicating with each other with their eyes saw Ye Qing walking out behind Matthew, their eyes became more complicated.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
Matthew took Ye Qing to a house.
The name "Chen Mansion" written on the plaque made Ye Qing couldn't help but guess that this was Chen Yuming's residence.
Just when Ye Qing was following Matthew and preparing to go in.
Matthew stopped and turned to look at the other side of the street.
The voice that had always been gloomy and cold turned out to be warm and friendly.
