lying down

"Wu that boy, stop!" A soldier guarding the city looked out of the corner of his eye and found a dirty young man with some blood on his body walking unruly. The most important thing was that the young man was holding a coiled dragon Stick, the anger and vigilance in my heart gradually rose.

After the soldier yelled, everyone immediately fell silent and looked at Ouyang Yu in unison.

Ouyang Yu took two steps forward and wanted to tell him that he had something urgent to report to the governor.But he didn't expect the soldier to point his spear at Ouyang Yu, and shouted: "I'm talking about you! Stop quickly! Boy, you'd better obey the rules, obediently report your name as Lifang, and go to the back to line up." Go, there are eight thousand people living here every day, if not ten thousand, my spear is not a vegetarian!" As soon as he finished speaking on this side, three soldiers on the other side also ran over and surrounded Ouyang Yu in the center.

Ouyang Yu smiled, thinking that when he first came to Jinyang City, he went with the governor's father and Ge Ye, and these people didn't even ask questions, they even saluted them off.It's an interesting life situation to treat yourself like this now.

"Brothers, I have something urgent to report to the governor. The matter is very important. Please forgive me for jumping the queue." Ouyang Yu clasped his hands and explained.He was a soldier in his previous life, and he unconsciously called them brothers, and he didn't want to cause more trouble, he just wanted to go to the city early and finish the matter.

The soldier holding the spear heard it as if he had heard a joke: "Brother? I'm not your brother. Is it wrong to go to relatives? You said that you have something to report to the governor. Is there any evidence? Is there a document? Is there an order? If the thousands of people in front of us all said they had something to report, wouldn’t the city gate be messed up long ago? What do you want me to do, what do you want this city gate to do?”

Ouyang Yu was taken aback by the question, what this little soldier said really made sense, and he really couldn't produce any evidence to support himself.He touched his chin and said, "If there is no evidence, I can't show it to you, but if you delay things, can you bear the responsibility? If you can bear it, I will wait for you to let go."

"This..." Hearing that he was going to take responsibility, the little soldier hesitated. This guarding the city gate was originally a low-level job, and he didn't make much money.It would be a big loss if I took on an inexplicable responsibility today.It's still a hen with cubs --- cluck, cluck, everyone cares about their own interests.

While a group of people were hesitating, the heavy East City Gate was pulled open with a creak.

A sound of galloping horseshoes sounded not far away, and everyone followed the thunderous sound of horseshoes, and saw a few black horses galloping towards the city gate.

"Woo~~" The leader reined in the reins, and the black horse "Herod" raised its front hooves and stood up like a bow.

Immediately jumped down a big man with a black face, who is it if it's not Ge Ye?

Ge Ye swung the rein and walked forward, saw Ouyang Yu and the confronting soldier within two steps, pushed aside the soldier's spear and asked, "Hey, brother, why are you here? What happened?"

The soldier saw that Ouyang Yu really knew the general of the Du Du's family, so wouldn't it be true that he said that he had something important to report to the Du Du?Quickly took a few steps back, retracted the spear, and stood there without saying a word.

Ouyang Yu glanced at the soldier guarding the city and said with a smile: "Brother, it's okay, I have something urgent to report to you and the governor, but this is not the place to talk."

Hearing this, Ge Ye turned around and ordered: "The governor has an order, immediately set up the city gates to investigate!" After speaking, he took out a command talisman from his bosom and shook it, leaving the few people he brought with him to guard, and turned to Ouyang Yu beckoned, and the two rode towards the Dudu Mansion together.

Jinyang Chen Dudu's study.

"What? You say Di Yong, the chief steward of the Di Mansion, is an undercover agent hiding in Jinyang City? Are they going to turn against the Tang Dynasty? And the spiritual seat of the former prince Xi Wang?" Xu Shiji was shocked when he heard Ouyang Yu's narration last night. After asking a question, he jumped up from the ground. After asking, he stared at Ouyang Yu and stopped talking.

Ouyang Yu nodded and stood there quietly.

After seeing Ouyang Yu's half-pay, he felt that he was not lying. Someone came to report that several dead bodies were found on the street this morning, which coincided with what Ouyang Yu said.Xu Shiji made up his mind and ordered: "Close the city gate immediately, and send additional soldiers to search. Vice-General Zhang, Vice-General Li, you two lead the troops to the house in the east city to search carefully. Go to Di Mansion with me at Geye. This is Shocking case, you should know how to do it?"

All the generals in the study made their promises loudly, only Ouyang Yu, an outsider standing there, was very conspicuous.

Xu Shiji looked back and said to him: "Ouyang Xiaolang, come with me, you have personally experienced the twists and turns, and many things still need your help. Once this case is solved, I will take credit for you!"

Ouyang Yu thought to himself, if it's for credit, I really wouldn't necessarily tell the story. I did this because I don't want the common people begging for that bucket of rice, and I don't want more innocent people to get involved in this incident. in political strife.

A group of people act separately.Xu Shiji led two hundred soldiers from the government and rushed towards Di's residence. When they reached the gate, the soldiers surrounded Di's residence.The doorkeeper's servant was so frightened that he ran into the house to report, and fell twice along the way.

After a while, the old mother of Di Mansion, a group of family members, and the second housekeeper all walked to the door, and they all looked at everything in front of them in puzzlement.

Ouyang Yu saw that the big butler was indeed not there, could it be that the matter was revealed and he fled early?

Grandma Di Xue's face was slightly cold, and she took a step forward and asked angrily: "Dudu Xu, I don't know what my family has committed to ask you to come here in person? Why did you bring so many soldiers?"

Di Xue, Xia He, and Li Erlang, who were beside her, all looked at Ouyang Yu, with a different meaning in their puzzled eyes.

You must know that Di Mansion is the home of officials, so Xu Shiji can't take it lightly.He got off his horse and walked up to the old lady and bowed respectfully: "Auntie, today is abrupt, just because the chief housekeeper of your house, Di Yong, is suspected of a serious case, so my nephew came to the house in person, I hope my aunt is not to blame."

"Di Yong? How is it possible? He has been with my Di family for ten years, but he is loyal, Di Yong! Di Yong!" Grandma Di Xue was startled, shouting and looking for it in the crowd.

When everyone in the Di residence heard Xu Shiji's words, they all searched for the chief steward among the crowd, but they couldn't find him after searching for a long time, so they couldn't help believing Xu Shiji's words.

Seeing this, Grandma Di Xue silently took a few steps to the side to make way for a passage.

Xu Shiji said respectfully again: "Auntie, I'm on business, I'm sorry." Turning around and waving his hands, dozens of government soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers to search.

Half an hour later, when the last few government soldiers came out, there was no trace of Di Yong, and someone from Dongcheng also came to report and clarify the secret underground passage.

Xu Shiji stroked his forehead and sighed, "Oh, it's a step too late!" He frowned with his hands, turned around and called several generals to order in a low voice: "If after today there are still no suspects, tomorrow morning The city gate will be opened in no time, and closing the gate for too long will cause unnecessary panic. It is declared to the outside world that there are murderers in Jinyang City, so don't reveal the truth for the time being!"

All the generals nodded in unison and took orders to go.
