Chapter 21 Dongyue County

Ye Ke forgave Zhu You, when he bought himself a few delicious meat buns as compensation for breakfast.

Sitting on the threshold of the criminal justice department, eating meat buns and watching the people coming and going outside, is also very interesting, but no one has ever dared to do it like this. First of all, the criminal punishment department is the Gyeonggi Xing prison institution, and it is life and death. Second, the third class of yamen servants will also expel people.

But Ye Ke is different, firstly, she doesn't understand these things, and secondly, Mr. Ti Xing is obviously partial to this young assistant who just took office, and he seldom even sees Lao Zhang recently.

Ye Ke was actually waiting for Yunmeng. In these two cases now, the only clue is the investigation results from Yunmeng's side. If the clues here are also broken, she will really be in a bit of trouble.

"It's a pity, it would be great if we could have a fingerprint system now, so much trouble would be saved." Ye Ke took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, murmuring vaguely.

It was noon after this sitting, and finally, a fast horse at the corner of the street separated the crowd and came to the gate of Ti Xingsi.

"Have you eaten?"

Such a good-looking person, why did he have a mouth, Ye Ke thought so, and when he opened his mouth, he was completely out of the air of a cold and male god.

Ye Ke stopped talking nonsense, and quickly asked, "Stop talking nonsense, how's it going?"

Yunmeng nodded, raised the file in his hand and said, "Hmph, is it still possible for me to go out in person? Here you go, I have to go back to be on duty. Please tell Shao'an for me that after solving the case, you have to ask I'm going to Zuixianju to drink."

In the inner hall, Ye Ke and Zhu You looked at the file in their hands, frowning.

The content of the dossier is actually not complicated. It contains information about a man named Wang Tianbei.

[Wang Tianbei, former Prisoner of Dali Temple, ancestral home in Haizhou, from the ninth grade, was born as a kungfu, practiced martial arts, good at claw skills, his hands are huge and different from ordinary people, in the second year of Xianzong, he resigned from office and went back to seclusion. The place of hermitage is: Xishan Village. 】

As expected of Ouchi's information, there is no nonsense, concise and to the point.

Putting down the dossier in his hand, Ye Ke was a little dazed, this person has gone into seclusion, could he still come out to harm others?Moreover, it is impossible for him to hide in the imperial city now.

"My lord, what do you think... My lord, what's wrong with you?" Ye Ke was stunned before he could say a word, because he saw Zhu Youman's shocked eyes.

Holding the file, Zhu You said in a deep voice, "When I was eight years old, I brought Xiaomei and Xiaozhu back from Xishan Village!"

The two looked at each other, and immediately set off to the Duke's Mansion. They had to figure out whether it was a coincidence or an inevitable connection.

Ye Ke and Zhu You hurried back to the Duke's Mansion, and they found Xiao Zhu first, and she was surprised when she saw Zhu You came looking for her.

"Second Young Master, are you looking for Xiao Zhu?"

Zhu You nodded and asked the rest of the servants to retreat. After that, only Ye Ke, Zhu You and Xiao Zhu were left in the hall.

"Xiaozhu, I remember that when my father and I met you and Xiaomei in Xishan Village, there was a catastrophe in Xishan Village, and there were only two of you left in the village!" Zhu You said with a sigh.

Xiao Zhu nodded calmly, with a flash of resentment in his eyes, then knelt down and said: "Yes, if it weren't for the master and the second young master, Xiao Zhu would have died in the barren mountains."

"Xiao Zhu, why have you never heard of your relatives in these years?" Zhu You said slowly.

Ye Ke understood what Zhu You meant, and he was trying to make a routine out of it.

"Back to the second young master, there were only father and mother in Xiaozhu's family, and there were no other relatives. In the catastrophe of that year, the second elder also left me." Xiaozhu's tone was full of sadness, with a faint cry.

Zhu You wondered: "The location of Xishan Village is relatively remote. When you were young, did other people come to Xishan Village?"

Xiao Zhu was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Xiao Zhu has no impression."

Hearing her answer, Zhu You nodded slowly, a little disappointed, and comforted him: "Xiao Zhu, you go down first, and you can stay at the Duke's Mansion in the future. If there is someone you like, the Duke of our country can do it." Prepare a dowry for you, and get married happily."

Xiaozhu stood up and saluted, then cast a veiled glance at Ye Ke and said, "Xiaozhu will be satisfied to serve the second young master in the Duke's residence in the future."

From the beginning to the end, Xiaozhu didn't salute Ye Ke halfway, and judging from a woman's intuition, Ye Ke felt that she was very hostile to him.
Afterwards, the two found Xiaomei who was busy in the courtyard. She was wielding a broom and sweeping the dead leaves on the ground. Seeing the two coming, she quickly put down the broom and saluted very respectfully.

"Xiaomei, when you were young, do you remember any guests coming to Xishan Village? Or strangers came to settle down?"

The same question, Xiaomei thought for a while, shook her head, and then suddenly said with a look of enlightenment: "There is one, I don't know if it counts."

The two hurriedly asked.

"I remember when I was six years old, two years before the village suffered a catastrophe, a guest came to Uncle Zhang's house. However, that person was not a stranger. He was a distant cousin of Uncle Zhang. I have been here several times before." After a pause, Xiaomei continued, "I am very impressed, every time he comes, he will bring some pastries to distribute to the children in the village, I also ate a few pieces, very sweet Woolen cloth."

Ye Ke and Zhu You had joyful looks in their eyes, and secretly said, there is a door.

"Did he leave after that?" Ye Ke asked.

Xiaomei shook her head and said, "No, after that time, he stayed at Uncle Zhang's house."

Zhu You wondered: "That means, he also died in that catastrophe?"

Xiaomei shook her head and said: "Xiaomei doesn't know, Xiaozhu and I were only eight years old at that time, we were so scared, how can we care about other things."

After Ye Ke comforted Xiaomei for a while, he suggested to Zhu You, "It seems that we are going to Xishan Village."

Xishan Village is located in Qizhou Prefecture, Dongyue County. It is about ten days away from the capital. The capital is almost all plains, but Dongyue County needs to ride a horse. It is mostly hilly and rainy. According to [Daxuan Geographical Records] records that the land of Dongyue is rich in tea, and it is a famous tea town. Every year, almost all tribute tea comes from Dongyue, and there are even imperial merchants.

Fortunately, after Uncle Guang's clues were broken, the murderer seemed to have died down, and there was no next move. As long as Ye Ke was well protected, there shouldn't be a big problem. Although, he couldn't figure out why the murderer would focus on Ye Ke. Ke.

So, after Zhu You arranged Uncle Guang's body to be kept by Yunmeng's pro-military Si Haosheng, Zhu You took Ye Ke on the road to Dongyue County.
