Chapter 729 You commit suicide (one more)
The four corpses were transported back to the yamen, and carried into the backyard through the side door.

The sedan chairs of the county magistrates stopped at the front gate of the yamen, and the attendants lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. Chen Yongming got out of the sedan chair with a weak complexion. After walking a few steps, he turned to look at the other sedan chair.

"My lord, wake up, we are here..." Kong Yuanjie's entourage called Kong Yuanjie in a low voice.

Kong Yuanjie didn't sleep too deeply, and after a while, he came out rubbing his waist.

Chen Yongming watched the attendant help him over, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the girl Zining in Baiyu Pavilion seems to satisfy you."

Kong Yuanjie laughed, and also said in a low voice: "She is so coquettish!"

The attendants and yamen guards beside him all smiled tacitly.

Entering the yamen, Chen Yongming called the yamen guard who came out of the door aside, and asked if Xin Shun was still in the back yamen, the yamen guard nodded: "Yes, but not awake yet."

Chen Yongming nodded, looked around, and said, "How about those people sent out last night?"

"...It's not good," Yawei said uneasy, "he is still in the military township department."

"I mean." Chen Yongming lightly compared his neck with a knife in his hand.

"It's very difficult. The army is strictly guarded by the army at the moment, so we can only bribe the people inside."

Chen Yongming was irritable. He didn't sleep well all night, and the bags under his eyes were more conspicuous than usual.

He waved his hands, raised his feet and walked in, but the Yawei called him again: "Xin Shun called Tai Zicang from the academy to take a portrait last night, the couple in the restaurant of Hong Zhuming and his wife are the ones wanted, The portrait has already been delivered, and Xin Shun hasn't woken up yet, so this portrait..."

"Send it to me first."

"Ah."

Kong Yuanjie fell asleep after entering the yamen, and Chen Yongming returned to his office room. He was also sleepy, but he dared not sleep at all.

Two portraits were sent by his subordinates and spread out on the case.

Tai Zicang learned from Lu Dongxin, and Lu Dongxin's master was Shui Moqiu, a well-known painter in the world.

Ink Autumn is known as one of the "Three Wonders of Painting", and the other two are figures from a hundred years ago.

"Hong Zhuming and his wife said that Tai Zicang's paintings resembled each other, almost exactly the same," said the subordinate.

Chen Yongming's eyes fell on the girl's portrait: "So, this girl must be beautiful?"

"Na Ding said that her complexion is like jade, like an egg with its shell removed, and she is very recognizable among the crowd."

"This man is also somewhat heroic."

"It is said that he is in his late thirties and has no beard at all. It should be a recognizable face."

Chen Yongming nodded: "However, we must avoid putting on a fake beard, or this woman paints something on her face to cover up her complexion. If you take it down and let others copy it, this portrait must be pasted all over the streets and alleys!"

"Yes."

After the portrait was taken down, Chen Yongming sat on a chair, thinking of the yamen guards in the military township department, he felt restless.

A crisp cry came from outside: "Father!"

The soft and greasy voice has the youthful breath unique to young girls.

A young girl stepped in lightly from the outside, holding a small round bamboo basket in her hand, with a sweet smile on her face: "You didn't come back last night, my mother was very angry, but even though she was angry, she still told me to take these welcome cakes and Bazhen cakes. I brought it to you, but my mother made it herself!"

The girl put the small basket in her hand on the desk, and took out the pastry from the bamboo basket, a sweet fragrance suddenly filled the room.

"Come!" The girl pushed the pastry away, "Daddy, try it!"

The outdoor sunlight shone on her lilac-colored double-silk spring tea gown, and the camellias embroidered on her clothes were big and gorgeous, ready to bloom.

The pastry was pushed in front of her father, but his father's expression was not half happy. The girl turned her head to look at him: "...Dad?"

"Leave it alone," Chen Yongming said tiredly, "If there is nothing else, you go back first and say hello to your mother for me."

"..."

Chen Yunqi raised her hand and picked up the basket on the desk: "Then don't bother Daddy, he's busy with work, so Daddy must remember to rest and eat."

"understood."

Chen Yunqi didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

The little maid Hou was outside: "Miss."

"Let's go." Chen Yunqi said.

"Miss, are you unhappy? Or the master..."

Chen Yunqi sighed softly: "Badu Military Envoy, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops, father must be tired, I don't want to stay longer."

The water in the street was still deep, this time they came in a sedan chair, the little maid stepped forward and opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and Chen Yunqi went in with her head bowed.

After the sedan chair left, a group of soldiers and horses came rushing as they passed the teahouse at Jiekou.

The water splashed heavily on the street, and the maids and bearers were completely splashed.

The little maid opened her mouth to curse, but when she saw the other party's sergeant armor, she endured it and patted the clothes on her body angrily.

The other party was defiant, and they were not the only ones being splashed, and the people along the street gave way and fled. Finally, this group of soldiers and horses stopped in front of Congxinfu Yamen.

The cakes on the table had been pushed aside by Chen Yongming, and he looked at the file that he opened casually with a frown, not knowing where his thoughts went.

There were many footsteps outside the house, and when he looked up, he saw Dou Lixin striding in with a hostile face, and as soon as he took out the big knife in his hand, he was about to strike at him.

Chen Yongming hurriedly said: "Captain Dou!"

Dou Lixin's guards closed the door earlier, and the light in the room dimmed for a few minutes.

"How to clean up this mess!" Dou Lixin said angrily, "You can't even kill a woman!"

"It's Song Zhiyi's people, Song Zhiyi's people are here to make trouble!"

"I've already given you enough time! Yesterday, the first batch of yamen guards sent to the military township division, I finally took them down and sent my people to interrogate them. In the end, you paid me for the second batch! Do you know that the army Nie Huimo took over the town department, and I'll see what you do if you stay until noon!"

"Can we kill them?" Chen Yongming tremblingly said, "Let's not stop and kill all these yamen guards!"

"My people are guarding them right now! If they die, what will my people do? What will I do!!"

Chen Yongming lowered his head and thought quickly, then raised his head and said, "What about the others, let others help us! Such a big incident happened, I can't be the only one to deal with it!"

"If you dare to expose others, you will not be the only one He Yanpo will kill!" Dou Lixin warned.

"Then, then there is no way!"

"Not necessarily..." Dou Lixin looked at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said for a while, "Chen Yongming, why don't you commit suicide?"

"what?"

"It's not the time yet," Dou Lixin withdrew his weapon, "I can't kill those yamen guards of the Junzhen Division, but if they are killed for no reason, it is easy to suspect me. Only after I kill them, you immediately kill them in front of everyone. Acknowledge everything face to face, and take it to yourself, and the rest will be safe."

Chen Yongming was in a cold sweat. He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

"Remember, you need to say that you have an affair with Huang Xinyu. She wanted to find your wife, but you didn't want to. During the dispute, you accidentally beat her to death, but you were afraid that her sister would talk nonsense, so you made mistakes again and again. Someone went to kill Huang Xinyue, and finally sent someone to poison all the arrested Yawei guards in General Zhensili. Do you understand?"
