Chapter 40 The Purpose of Xiangyun

Although there are still doubts, it can basically be ruled out that the insiders of Goulan committed the crime. However, this case is becoming more difficult. After all, there are no clues to point to other people.

Under Ye Ke's order, Jian Jiu carefully inspected all the places above the wall, but found no trace of climbing over the wall and passing through the courtyard. There is a passage.

"My lord, who guarded that door yesterday?"

Zhu You immediately called a yamen servant, and the man stepped forward and immediately reported: "Report to the Tuiguan, yesterday was a low-ranking guard."

"When you went to guard the courtyard gate yesterday, was the gate locked?"

"It's not locked, it's just a cover."

Sure enough, what Ye Ke thought was correct, Xiangyun met someone in that room yesterday, and that person was acquainted by Xiangyun, and at the same time, that person was not from a hook-up, his figure was slightly taller than Xiangyun's, and his gender was temporarily unknown.

According to the introduction of the head of Goulan, Xiangyun joined the Goulan a year ago. She sings in Tsing Yi. The head of the group, Xie Guang, saw that she had an excellent singing voice, a good figure, and excellent skills, so he accepted her. The team, at that time, they will just enter Beijing and are short of manpower.

"Lord Ye, villain. I don't know if it will be useful if I think of something."

"Speak up quickly."

Xie Guang cautiously recalled: "At that time, when our door Goulan was recruiting people, Xiangyun came to me and asked me that our troupe was going to the capital. After I confirmed it, she was very determined to join our troupe. .”

Ye Ke immediately asked: "Is she here to find someone!?"

An actor, whose family is all over the world, with a wandering fate, is basically the only possibility. Of course, it is not ruled out that she came here for the prosperity of the capital, but according to the confessions of other people in Goulan, Xiangyun is a reclusive person. , do not like to fight with others, very calm temperament.

That is to say, she is by no means a woman who loves prosperity. With such a temperament, she definitely does not come here for fame and fortune. Moreover, it is very likely that the person she is looking for is her sweetheart.

"The villain has guessed it too, but she has a colder personality and is not too close to others. No one has heard her talk about the past. After arriving in the capital, she was not seen looking for people everywhere, so the villain didn't take it to heart. It is." Xie Guang explained respectfully.

After Zhu You and Ye Ke told Xie Guang that he could continue singing, but everyone was not allowed to leave at will, Xie Guang was overjoyed and went to tell the actors with gratitude.

Seeing that the Goulan was reopened, the two went out the small gate and walked along the alley to the Yangliu River. It was the cold wind and the river was full of withered and yellow reeds. Looking around, there were hardly any pedestrians. Ye Ke tightened his cloak, breathed into his mouth, and looked towards the other side of the river. It was a courtyard, covering a large area, and the rockery in the courtyard was scattered and elegant.

"My lord, where is that?"

Zhu You glanced at it and said, "That's the residence of Master Cui, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Such a wide courtyard costs a lot of money, right?"

"If Officer Ye Tui wants it, the Duke's Mansion still has a lot of property and manors, at worst, I'll give you one."

No way?That's a manor, and I will give it if I say so. Ye Ke looked at Zhu You, whose clothes were fluttering in the wind, and he liked him a lot.

The two walked along the river bank, which was paved with bluestone slabs, and it was a very quiet place to walk. If it wasn't for the cold wind now, but for the bright sun to inform, it would be much more lively. Those so-called gifted men and beautiful women Soon I like this kind of place, it's secretive and poetic.

"My lord, according to my opinion, it is very likely that Xiangyun came to find his sweetheart." Ye Ke directly stated his deduction, and then told Zhu You about his previous thoughts.

"Could it be that they came to find their relatives?" Zhu Youfa asked.

"It's possible, but it's not likely." Ye Ke casually pulled a reed and fiddled with it in his hand, "Even if you have a calm temperament, you won't hide it like this when you are looking for relatives. Not knowing about this means that she doesn't want people to know, and Xiangyun has been looking for it all along, and it is very likely that she has already found it."

"Why?"

"Since the murderer is someone who is familiar with Xiangyun, but not someone who is in the hook, it means that it is very likely that the person Xiangyun is looking for may be the murderer."

Zhu You suddenly said: "Love killing?"

Ye Ke nodded with deep eyes: "It's very possible, but we can't draw a conclusion yet."

"Let's go back to the criminal punishment department immediately, and I'll arrange for the yamen servants to transfer the foreign customs clearance guides in the capital a few years ago." Zhu You said firmly.

When it comes to this, Ye Ke has a big head. Although the Daxuan Dynasty has a large population, it is not allowed to move freely between various places. You have to get a guide from the yamen to pass the customs. If you go without a guide, you will be fined. The board, if it is heavy, it will be sent to the army.

Therefore, if you want to find people who came to the capital within a certain period of time, there are records to follow, but... you need to read the files again. Ye Ke is very interested in files such as post-mortem records, and you can read them all day. But dossiers like Clearance Guide were extremely boring, and she could see them falling asleep directly.

Originally, she wanted to beep softly to see if she could bear it, but seeing Zhu You's energetic appearance, she was a little afraid to touch the bad luck, otherwise she was afraid that her salary would not be guaranteed.

When the two of them were about to return to the Judiciary, a person suddenly jumped down from the roof above his head, his movements were extremely fast, and with a bang, Zhu Youshan shielded Ye Ke behind him, and he had already held a long handle in his hand. With a sword, he raised his hand and stabbed.

The man turned around in the air, put away Zhu You's long sword, and landed gracefully, cursing in his mouth.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing, you want my life!"

Yun Meng patted his chest in shock, his eyes widened and he questioned Zhu You in dissatisfaction.

"Looking for death."

"you!"

Yun Meng knew that his sudden appearance had frightened people, so he felt a little guilty, and drooped his face, "I finally took a chance to sneak out to play with you, you two are fine, it's poetic and picturesque to come here for a walk."

Ye Ke laughed and said, "Why is it so poetic?"

Yun Meng walked around the two of them and said, "You're a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman. If you take off your official uniforms, you two will look like a Jinshi in high school and a girl in a boudoir."

Hearing this, Ye Ke suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looked at Zhu You and said, "My lord, I. I know!"

Zhu You looked at Ye Ke with some confusion, and Yun Meng was also a little confused.

"My lord, when was the last imperial examination in recent years?"

Yun Meng took the lead and said, "Isn't it just two years ago? At that time, the emperor assigned me and Shao'an to guard the Gong Yuan."

At this time, Zhu You also understood Ye Ke's meaning and said, "What do you mean?"

Ye Ke nodded and looked at Zhu You, "That man must have come to take the imperial examination."
