The breeze was gentle, just a stick of incense, and turned into the city gate. The three of them were speechless and walked toward the city along the city gate.
But before he had walked a few steps, he saw Bai An running over, holding a roll of documents in his hand and saying: "Master, I found out that the deceased is Su San. The third in the family, he said he contracted tuberculosis about half a year ago.
He disappeared half a month ago. After investigation, it was found that his wife suddenly bought a house and moved her son to Zhoushan City. I have arranged for a government official to search for her secretly."
Fang Wu took it first. The document was made of bamboo slips. The color was monotonous and elegant, and there was nothing special about it. The words on it were densely packed and filled with Su San's life.
Fang Wu looked carefully and found that Su San was hard-working and traveled to Zhoushan and Zhouxue County to deliver food to some officials every day. Although his interpersonal relationships were a bit complicated, he was the most kind-hearted person.
"Master, what do you think? Can this horse corpse be investigated together with Su San's case?" Fang Wu handed the thing to Ji Xuan after looking at it and asked again.
Ji Xuan sighed and said: "We need to investigate together, but I don't know if it will be our turn to investigate."
"Yeah." Fang Wu nodded.
"I'm going to reprimand you now. Remember to go back and marry your sister tonight." Ji Xuan emphasized again.
In fact, Ji Xuan had already asked someone to inquire about the Fang family's affairs and what Fang Wu's mother wanted to do, and he could also see what Fang Wu meant.
Can you survive just by hiding?
You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. Just looking at Mrs. Fang's intention, if Fang Wu doesn't go back, Mrs. Fang will not be kind.
Therefore, Ji Xuan is just ready to give it a push.
"I know, master, did anyone tell me who she married?" Fang Wu felt unhappy, guessing what Ji Xuan meant.
"Yes, a member of the Communist Party of China from Zhoushan." Ji Xuan said calmly.
"Master, I think..." Fang Wu said halfway,
He was interrupted by Ji Xuan: "Be obedient, I'm not asking you to participate in handling the case or to take you out. But, if my sister goes out, you should go back and stay here tonight. Just come to the Yamen tomorrow morning to reprimand me. I'll take the day off."
yes."
Fang Wu nodded. Although she didn't want Ji Xuan to interfere with her personal affairs and didn't want to go back, she knew that Ji Xuan was right.
Listening to the bells in the city, the four of them knew it was the sound of reprimand.
"Let's eat together." Ji Xuan pointed to the noodle stall not far away and pulled the four of them along.
The four of them naturally agreed, sat down and ordered a few bowls of Yangchun noodles. No one spoke and they were very quiet. They only heard the sound of the clinking of bowls and chopsticks.
"Brother, is the horse parked in the stable of the inn? When you come back, you can let people from Funue control the inn to avoid losing the clue." Fang Wu ate the last bite of noodles in the bowl and reached out to fish it out in the basin.
He asked while peeling a boiled egg.
I don’t know what time it was to boil the eggs. The weather in April was not too cold, but the eggs were cold and there was no trace of heat.
"I gave instructions to the inn owner and checked the horse pen. I just felt that the horse food was not right. The owner of the inn took him to the Zhouxue Yamen. I haven't received any news yet." Bai An mechanically put the noodles into his mouth and said.
.
"When you were sleeping last night, you heard something unusual. I briefly checked the horse corpse and found no external injuries."
Bai An thought for a while and shook his head.
Ji Xuan stopped asking after seeing this. He asked very hard. What Bai An said was not a useful clue.
At this time, there was a commotion, and a carriage came in from the city gate. The carriage was luxurious and noble, and the horses in the shaft were strong and young. When the coachman saw the guards questioning him, he calmly took out a yellow horse from his sleeve.
wooden sign.
The guard looked at the wooden sign carefully and respectfully returned it to the coachman before letting him go.
The coachman put away the wooden sign, called out, and quickly headed towards the Yamen.
"What is this?" Fang Wu asked meaningfully when he saw that many people were stopping for it.
Zhang Xuan put down his chopsticks and said with bright eyes: "He must be a big shot. You can tell just by looking at the horse and the iron coupon of the alchemy book."
Fang Wu rolled his eyes. Isn't this nonsense? How can someone with no power be able to mount a horse and travel?
There is also the iron coupon of the Alchemy Book, which is a customs clearance document unique to Daman Butler. No matter where it is, no matter what the situation is, it must be released.
In Daman, people usually travel in sedan chairs and donkey carts. Only some elderly high-ranking generals travel by carriages or horses, but most of them use elderly horses.
But that horse is still young, and it seems that it must have been carefully cultivated, and maybe it was a tribute from another country.
Half of Daman's horses are tribute from other countries, and the rest are trained by specially trained people. However, the skills are not good enough, and the number is limited.
Ji Xuan threw away a few taels of silver and stepped out with one foot and said: "Let's go, we'll find out if we take a look. It's obvious that he's heading towards the government."
Fang Wu hurriedly followed him: "Master, you mean you are here to check the horses? So soon?"
It's a bit too fast. If it hadn't been for something recently, what else would be worthy of meeting a person of high status?
Zhang Xuan had already caught up with several others. Fang Wu and Ji Xuan also followed quickly.
However, no matter how fast the legs of these people were, they were still not as fast as a four-legged horse. They waited until they arrived and squeezed out from the crowd of people watching the excitement in front of the Yamen before they could clearly see who was coming.
There was a young man standing at the bottom of countless steps. The young man was dressed in white, with his hands on his waist and his hair spread over his mink fur. The mink fur was so thick that it was impossible to tell what kind of shoes he was wearing.
I saw the young man raising his head and looking at the big characters "Xuefu County Yamen" hanging above the Yamen under the stars in the silver sea.
Ji Xuan waited for a while, and when she saw that the young man did not look back for a long time, she had no choice but to calm down her expression, cupped her hands and said, "I have met you, sir."
The young man turned around and looked at Ji Xuan, then turned around again. He didn't see anything. After all, no one in Ji Xuan's group was wearing official robes.
Zhang Xuan glanced at Ji Xuan secretly and said, "I wonder if you are here because of the loss of a horse in the county."
The young man turned his head and raised his hand to lift Zhang Xuan's chin before saying, "I don't have any official position." After saying that, the young man put his hand down again and continued to look back at the plaque.
Hearing this, Zhang Xuan and others looked at each other, but no one believed it. No official and half-time official could create such a grand event?
Ji Xuan said: "I don't know how to call it."
"What do you call them?" The young man turned around, supported the carriage shaft, and sat down on the carriage shaft to look at the people.
Ji Xuan said: "I have learned about Jixuan from the Yamen of the lower school."
"Capturing Zhang Xuan." "Official Script Bai An." "Student Fang Wu."
It wasn't what they wanted to say, but the boy heard one opening and stared at the other one. He didn't move his eyes until they opened their mouths.
