Chapter 110 Anti-Routine

When mentioning the county annals, Ye Chengwei immediately thought of something.

"About 18 years ago, there was a major personnel transfer in the entire Jingzhou Mansion. At that time, this place was still the fief of King Xiang, which is the current King Yun."

At this point, Ye Chengwei felt that something was wrong.

When Hua Rujin heard it with great interest, she suddenly saw that he hesitated to speak, and couldn't help urging: "And then?"

Ye Chengwei narrowed his apricot eyes and smiled: "This Prince Yun is the only son of His Majesty's favorite concubine Xue Guifei. When he took over the Jingzhou Mansion before, he promoted many talents, such as the late Tuhong, Liu Cheng, and even Wen Yuming. However, the scholars and young students in the previous dynasty all rose from mere bureaucrats in one fell swoop after King Yun returned to Beijing, or became county magistrates or magistrates, which can be described as infinite glory."

After a pause, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened: "This Tuhong is the most interesting. It is said that he was just an unknown clerk under King Yun's account before, but he became the magistrate of Jiang'an County."

Hua Rujin nodded suspiciously: "Perhaps this is how one person attains the Tao and ascends to heaven."

Moreover, in her opinion, this matter is not unusual.

The Daye Dynasty has only been established for a few decades now, and it was the early days of the founding of the Dynasty more than ten years ago, so there must be loopholes in the selection of officials and appointments.

She remembered that the uncle of the second bedroom was a scholar who replaced the grandfather of the Hua family.

Hua Junnian is also just a scholar.

It is not easy to be able to be the magistrate and magistrate with such a humble status, either because he has a secret seal, or he has made great achievements.

"Could it be that Mr. Ye thinks that the deaths of Tuhong, Liu Cheng, and even the personnel transfer back then are all related to Chu Jiang?"

Hua Rujin suddenly realized that what he said could not be pure gossip with himself.

"maybe."

Ye Chengwei didn't dare to make a conclusion.

He looked meaningfully at the woman in front of him who had become like a curious cat, and he stopped the conversation suddenly.

"Let's just go to bed early tonight, and we have to hurry tomorrow."

After the words fell, he got up and went straight to the guest room.

Hua Rujin curled her lips at him dissatisfied, always feeling that this guy likes to pretend to be deep now.

From the looks of it, he still doesn't intend to involve himself in the case.

Cough, chick, you managed to piss me off.

After chasing after him, Hua Rujin kept asking: "There are already a lot of clues, and with Mr. Ye's intelligence, he must have already answered the question about the red-eyed and white-browed monster and zombie. As long as we find out the source of the floating corpse, everything All problems can be solved.”

While speaking vigorously, Ye Chengwei suddenly turned around, and Hua Rujin slammed directly into his arms.

Feeling a burst of blazing warmth coming close to her face, Hua Rujin quickly stopped her steps, and looked up at his pair of dark almond eyes.

The reason why Ye Chengwei mentioned that the current King Yun was that she hoped that she would retreat in the face of difficulties, but he didn't expect this girl to have no fear at all, but he felt admiration for it.

"You are right."

Showing a wicked smile at her, Ye Chengwei didn't want to annoy her anymore, and immediately agreed, "I'll take you to Yizhuang tomorrow."

Seeing that he finally compromised, Hua Rujin smiled knowingly, and went back to the room obediently.

Lying on the couch, she kept thinking about what Ye Chengwei said, gathering all the information in one place, and she seemed to think of something.

There is a large amount of black water in the river, which can dye the vast river black, but it is only the downstream section near the southeast. The strangeness of this may not come from the bottom of the river. The mystery may really lie in the southeast area facing the river. in the mountains.

Tomorrow, you only need to persuade Zhuangyuan Lang to take someone to the mountains to find out.

Thinking of this, she happily closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

In the quiet inn, just after dawn, there were noises.

Ye Chengwei got up slowly, stroked a few strands of drooping temple hair, and went out to see the shopkeeper and the waiter sneaking downstairs.

"stop."

Ye Chengwei yelled at the two of them.

Seeing this handsome young man with a eccentric nature, the store owner stopped in fright and asked with a bitter face, "Young master, this is it?"

Ye Chengwei strolled forward and asked for it directly, "Bring me some perspiration medicine."

"Sweat medicine?"

The shopkeeper was startled when he heard the words, and the bitterness on his face became more intense: "Young Master, you really know how to joke, and you are so well-behaved, how can such things be prepared in the shop."

A stern look appeared in Ye Chengwei's eyes, and he did not answer, but just stared at the two of them fiercely.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he shuddered all over, and hurriedly knelt on the ground begging for mercy: "How holy is the young master? Although the little one is indeed prepared, he has never done anything that hurts nature and reason."

"Stop rambling, go and get some."

Ye Chengwei strode past the two of them, went downstairs and sat down.

Not long after, the store owner timidly handed him a bag of Mongolian sweat medicine wrapped in paper, and replied in fear: "My lord, these are all Mongolian sweat medicines in this store, and there is absolutely no secret."

Ye Chengwei was not worried about this matter, sweat medicine is not a rare thing, the shopkeeper is afraid that he is just a guy with a heart but no guts.

After receiving the sweat medicine, he hesitated and took out a prepared note from his hand and handed it to the shop assistant, and said in a cold voice: "Go to the city for me, and take this note at the Donglai Inn diagonally opposite the official post." The note was handed over to a young master surnamed Shu."

Then he took out another tael of silver and gave it to him.

The shop waiter took the money and the note, made a gesture with the shopkeeper, and hurried out of the inn.

Ye Chengwei collected the sweat medicine, went to the kitchen as if nothing had happened, cooked a pot of porridge, a few eggs, fried two vegetables, and then told the shopkeeper to call Hua Rujin to get up for breakfast.

Hua Rujin was sleeping soundly, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, she got up and tidied up her makeup hastily, and went out to have a look, only to see the shopkeeper obediently waiting at the door, whispering: "My lord, Ye gongzi prepared it himself. Breakfast is ready, please go downstairs to eat."

Hua Rujin glanced at the scenery outside the window, the sky was hazy, Zhuangyuan Lang was really a roll king, he got up early every day and was greedy for dark.

After a simple grooming, she went downstairs in a hurry, and saw Ye Chengwei had prepared the meals and was sitting at the table, watching herself calmly.

"Come on, let's eat."

Ye Chengwei pushed a bowl of porridge in front of her, and said with a faint smile, "After breakfast, I'll take you on an errand."

Hua Rujin picked up the chopsticks and was about to drink the porridge, when she inadvertently saw the shopkeeper's sneaky expression, which seemed a little weird.

When he met Ye Chengwei's eyes again, this guy acted as if nothing had happened.

"Eat, don't waste time."

Ye Chengwei urged with a smile.

For some reason, Hua Rujin felt that Zhuangyuan Lang was not normal today.

He mentioned to himself some old things about King Yun and the Jingzhou Mansion last night, apparently suspecting that the incident on the Chu River had something to do with the government.

According to his temperament, he would not allow himself to intervene in this matter, why did he compromise so easily.

She thought of some usual routines quickly in her mind. Could it be that he pretended to agree to let her participate in the investigation, but secretly played tricks, and the purpose was to send herself back to Jiangling City?

Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes to look at the white porridge in front of her, and immediately noticed something, she deliberately turned to the store and scolded: "What are you looking at, do you want to be disrespectful to Young Master Ye?"

Ye Chengwei heard the sound and immediately raised his eyes to look at the store.

Taking advantage of this suspicion, Hua Rujin quickly swapped the two bowls of porridge.
