Wen Xiaoyun turned around and looked back in the direction she ran in. Apart from the few government servants who were gradually walking away, there was no one else in the long corridor.
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes were dark and her brain was working rapidly, choosing the safest place for herself.
The night is getting late, and almost all offices in the yamen are closed. Especially for the subordinate staff in the sixth room, their office areas have been locked, and there is probably no one around.
For the killer who wants to get rid of her, it is undoubtedly the most ideal place.
But before, she told Xiao He to go to the execution room to find her. If she didn't go...
But Wen Xiaoyun made her choice quickly. If Bian Xiaohe didn't find her in the execution room, he would naturally leave.
He should have thought that she had left temporarily because of something. What's more, it was almost time for the officials to go to bed. According to Bian Xiaohe's character, he would have gone back to the officials' house and waited until the next morning to find her.
Then she could go to Bian Xiaohe's official residence to wait for him in advance.
Not to mention that there is a place for oneself there, but there are others in the official residence, which should also deter the killers lurking in the dark from taking action.
By the time Xiao Wu Zuo comes back, Yin Nuo should also be back.
Thinking of this, Wen Xiaoyun decisively turned around and followed the well-fed government officials.
Their offices are all in one area, and it is safest to have people around them at this time.
However, just when Wen Xiaoyun had not taken two steps with the government servants, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness behind her and landed heavily on her shoulder.
Wen Xiaoyun's back instantly tensed up, and her right hand reached into the cuff of her left hand.
There is the medicinal powder that Yinnuo gave her.
But she soon relaxed a little, because the voice coming from behind was a familiar voice to her.
"Shu Li Wen? It's better to have arrived too early than to have arrived too late. This torture chamber is just about to find you."
That person was Wen Xiaoyun's immediate superior, the junior leader Hu Dongcai.
Wen Xiaoyun turned around, raised her hands and saluted, "Hu Xingfang."
Hu Dongcai nodded slightly, then looked up at the government officials walking in front, "Don't leave either!"
The few people were stunned for a moment, and then they all stopped and turned around. When they saw it was a subordinate in the execution room, they quickly bent down and saluted.
Hu Dongcai returned the salute perfunctorily, straightened his posture, and ordered loudly: "I heard the news from above. Next month, the Yanzhou prefecture and the new officials will come down to our Teng County to review the government affairs of all parties.
Documents. The county magistrate has ordered that within this month, in addition to daily matters that need to be carried out as usual, the staff of the six rooms must be rotated throughout the night to sort out the documents and files of each room."
Upon hearing the news, the happy colors on the faces of the government officials suddenly disappeared, and all of them turned into bitter faces, with unhappiness written all over their faces.
Higher-level officials and inspectors regularly review and supervise lower-level prefectures and counties. Each time, lower-level yamen must organize documents in advance, including carefully whitewashing some back-room operations that cannot be mentioned on the table. Every time they are small officials like them,
It is said that it is a time-consuming and labor-intensive test.
But the problem is that it is not yet time for routine review. It can be said that it is a huge additional burden for them.
But they didn't dare to say anything. After all, there had just been a big incident in Teng County not long ago where the entire arrest team was blamed. It was normal operation for the yamen above to send officials to review and verify.
So after they reluctantly bowed to Hu Dongcai, they all turned back and walked towards the sixth office room with their heads downcast.
After saying this, Hu Dongcai glanced at Wen Xiaoyun coldly, "I have some things to report to the magistrate in the execution room. You go to the execution room first and wait."
Wen Xiaoyun took a deep breath. Although she was still the only one in the torture room for the time being, there were people in other rooms in the neighborhood, so it was safer at last.
So she cupped her hands towards Hu Dongcai, then followed the footsteps of the people in front of her and continued walking towards the torture chamber.
Hu Dongcai didn't say much, threw down his sleeves, and walked towards the magistrate's courtyard where Fu Yunlang was.
Here, Wen Xiaoyun had no other problems along the way and followed others smoothly to the gate of the execution chamber.
However, to be cautious, she did not go into the courtyard first. Instead, she went to the nearby military building to borrow a lantern.
Doing this will also confuse the killer who may still be hiding in the corner. There are so many yards around, and because of the sudden overtime notice, there are more subordinates coming and going. If you join the crowd, you can also call people.
It's impossible to predict her next move.
When she opened the door of the official residence with a lantern, she looked around cautiously.
Fortunately, the yard is not too big and it is quite empty, so it can be swept clean at a glance.
The windows in the main room and the side room were tightly closed, and the doors were all fully locked with locks.
When I looked up at the roof, there was nothing unusual.
Wen Xiaoyun quickly walked to the main room, opened the copper lock, pushed open the door, and carefully illuminated it with a lantern, but there was no movement.
Wen Xiaojun turned his hand and closed the door again, turned around and blew out the lantern, and put his ear against the door to listen carefully to what was going on inside.
