The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 147
Ye Pingrong and Ye Junbei were sitting in the main room, and when they heard the voice, they hurriedly stood out, but they didn't expect that they saw an official in official uniform.

Ye Junbei was a little surprised, and after calling his father in a low voice, he was frightened.

Ye Pingrong, however, was not afraid at all, with a calm demeanor, he stepped forward and said, "Brother Guancha, this is Ye Qing's home, I don't know my little girl..."

"Third brother, the official sent the eldest brother to understand some situations, don't be afraid."

Ye Pingrong's words were abruptly interrupted. He looked up and found that the village chief Kang Yi was also among the officials.

Ye Pingrong was a little surprised when he saw Kang Yi, but after being taken aback for a moment, he pulled Kang Yi over and asked in a low voice: "Village chief, why are these four officials looking for Qingqing?"

Kang Yi glanced at the officer, saw that the person was not angry, and said quickly: "They came to investigate the murder case in Liu's Biezhuang in Rong County. According to their knowledge, Qingqing was in the Biezhuang for a period of time last month. Show up at Crystal Orchard. So, they came to find out."

After Ye Pingrong heard this, he was frightened.He never thought that Ye Qing would be involved in this murder case.

The officer probably looked at the face of the village chief, although his voice was not gentle, but not harsh, he said to Ye Pingrong: "Call Ye Qing out, we need to ask about the situation face to face."

Ye Pingrong responded again and again, and then told Ye Junbei beside him: "Go and ask Qingqing to come out."

Is it a blessing or a curse? A disaster cannot be avoided. What should come will always come.

Besides, Ye Pingrong is very clear about Ye Qing's nature, and it cannot be related to the case of exterminating the family in Liu's Biezhuang.Therefore, he was not particularly worried.

After hearing what the officer said, Mrs. Xu slipped into the kitchen, wanting Ye Qing to hide outside.

Ye Qing is not a murderer, and she is not an accomplice, how could she escape privately?As long as he escapes like this, he will be recognized as a criminal if he is not a criminal.

Ye Qing acted calmly, cut the marinated tofu into shreds, and let Wu Yan and Xu taste it.

When she heard that the official was going to see her, she specially packed a plate of dried tofu and a plate of stewed pork and brought them out, and asked Mrs. Xu to bring the bowls and chopsticks and place them on the stone table in the yard.

Ye Junbei is a wink, as soon as he received Ye Qing's instructions, he ran to the cellar to get his father's sorghum wine.

The officials have been busy with their investigations recently, and they are exhausted. They are tired and hungry. Facing the Ye family's invitation, coupled with the unbearable smell of wine and meat, they ended up investigating the case while drinking.

Ye Qing stood a little far away from them, and then answered the questions of several officials one by one.

The leading officer among them listened to Ye Qing's narration, and said: "Are you really sure that day is the seventeenth?"

"Yes, very sure. Because when I came back from buying a donkey on June [-]th, I met a big brother who was working in Liu's Biezhuang. He asked him to go to Biezhuang at any time and have as many crystal fruits as he wanted. It's just that I rested for a day. In the past, so that day must be seventeen."

Ye Qing didn't expect that, before he had met anyone, all the members of the Liu family would go to see Lord Yan!
After drinking for three rounds, the officials were almost done drinking.The hungry stomach was also fed, and the mood was high.

Short-handed and soft-spoken, the officials didn't make things difficult for Ye Qing anymore, they just asked: "I heard that you didn't go alone, was there someone else?"

Ye Qing was taken aback, the memory of the person who provided the clue was really accurate, after more than a month, he still remembered that it was two people.

In desperation, she went into the kitchen and asked Wu Yan to come out.

However, as soon as she entered the kitchen, she almost screamed out of fright. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands, staring at Wuyan with her eyes wide open.

Wu Yan's face was smeared with firewood ash, it was as black as a piece of carbon, only his two eyes and the neat white teeth after a grin were exposed.And his attire at this moment is comparable to Bao Gong.

Ye Qing calmed down for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "Wu Yan, why are you painting your face like a piece of black charcoal?"

Wu Yan made a gesture to silence her, then sprinkled a few drops of water on her face, pretended to be sweating profusely, and went out with her sleeves rolled up.

Seeing that he looked like a lump of carbon, the people in the yard were all dumbfounded, Ye Junbei's eyes almost popped out, and they didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

Brother Guancha spit out the wine, coughed a few times, and said in a loud voice: "When you went to Biezhuang that day, did you find anything unusual? Or did you see any suspicious people?" ?”

Wu Yan shook his head timidly, lowered his voice, and said in a hoarse voice: "I went to knock on the door, but no one came to open the door. I thought there was no one in the other village. So, after picking a bunch of grapes, put some The money went away."

Speechless, the officials at the stone table looked at each other and nodded slightly.

When they were looking for clues, they did find some copper coins.Presumably, this is the money he was talking about!
But another officer interrupted and said: "The door is not locked, but no one opened it. Didn't you suspect that there was a murder inside?"

Wu Yan glanced over, and asked back: "My lord, the Biezhuang is so big, it's normal for the people inside not to hear the knock and not come to open the door, so the grass people can't think of any reason to suspect that there is a murder case inside."

"Humph!"

Wu Yan's words offended the official, and Kang Yi and Ye Pingrong stood aside and sweated for Wu Yan.Faced with this kind of making things difficult, cover it up with a sentence of ignorance, why bother to confront people head-on?
However, Wu Yan didn't think so.

He just wanted to remind the officials that not all situations like this can be suspected of murder. This is a very stupid idea.Besides, as long as they are normal people, they will not curse others all day long.

"Okay," the leading official put down his wine glass, interrupted the two of them directly, and said in a different tone: "I'm full, and I've asked what I should ask. Go back. I'll look for it tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the four officials got up together.

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Kang Yi quickly got up to see him off, and Ye Pingrong also hurried forward.

When the leading officer was about to leave, he asked Ye Qing to go to the county government office to record a confession.

Ye Qing has always followed the saying "the people do not fight with the government", he responded repeatedly, and promised to go tomorrow, and never cause trouble to the adults.

The officials made progress, and after eating and drinking enough, they were accompanied by Kang Yi and left.

As soon as the official sent away, everyone in the Ye family breathed a sigh of relief, feeling their tense nerves suddenly relax.

Wu Yan saw that Ye Pingrong's expression was not very good, so he was ready to run away.The attention of the Ye family members was simply not on him, and he ran extremely fast even with oil on the soles of his feet.

Qi Su saw Wu Yan running into the house with a black and ashen face. After being surprised, he immediately burst into laughter, pointed to his nose and said, "You also have today? Haha..."
