A huge Taoist team, like snakes about to hibernate in this season, slowly but tenaciously wriggled towards Anluzhou.
In the top novel, the autumn wind is like a knife, mercilessly cutting repeatedly on the faces and hands of this group of people.
After finally entering the inn, these attachés had to prepare food and drink by themselves.
The previous military chaos completely destroyed Anlu's inn, and all the original officials in the inn were also slaughtered due to the war.
Now, although the inn has been repaired in a hasty manner and has barely restored some of its functions, the staff is temporarily insufficient, so no matter who comes, they can only do it themselves.
The master of this team was very strict.
Although these followers came from Wuchang, the provincial capital, and had worked hard all the way, they did not dare to act arbitrarily.
When buying and selling vegetables and food, everyone paid according to the price.
As the owner, the Huguang Inspector Si Jingnan Bingdao Hu Yi'e, under the service of his servants, changed his clothes and poured a basin of hot water to scald his feet.
He came all the way in a sedan and was not affected by the wind and rain.
However, as a man in his fifties, he still suffered from backache after such a bumpy journey, so burning his feet was the best way to relieve fatigue.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door.
After the person left, he quickly reported back, "Kong Zhou Mu is asking for a meeting."
As the alternate magistrate of Anlu Prefecture, Kong Zhang, who is temporarily in charge of the affairs of the government, is in his early forties.
He and Hu Yi'e were close friends when they were in Wuchang, and it was very casual to meet each other at this time.
Seeing him soaking his feet, he smiled and said: "Hu Weng, you are very tired from this journey, so I think it is better to ride in a sedan chair than to ride a horse.
My riding a horse this way is not as hard as yours.
The road in Anlu is still well built."
Yes, it's easy to walk, and it's much better than the official roads we went to before.
Wantong is a man of work, which is a pity."
The servant serving in this room was also Hu Yi'e's confidant.
He was supposed to be qualified to stay here, but he was still kicked out.
After the door was closed, Hu Yi'e put his feet into his official boots and asked with a smile: "Brother Kong Xian, you must have a headache for this errand.
The former magistrate of the state was killed by the Bai Lian bandits, and the case is pending.
I'm afraid you, the new governor of the state, will have trouble sleeping."
Kong Zhang laughed loudly and patted his belly with his hand.
"Kong is no better than Brother Wan.
He has a broad heart and a fat body.
He eats well and sleeps well.
Even if the assassin comes, don't even think about disturbing my sleep.
When the time comes, he will kill me."
Come down, I’m just having a good dream, it’s nothing special.”
After the two of them laughed again, Hu Yi'e said: "I didn't expect that after the Ning thief raised his army, he also became bolder with others.
I always thought that Huguang was the most domineering of the Chu vassal, followed by the Liao vassal.
Therefore, it seems that this person who is known as a submissive vassal is the boldest one.
Even the imperial officials dare to take action.
Lao Kong, you are sitting on the fire this time. " Kong Zhang's expression became serious at this time, "Why, we already have evidence."
"It has been so long since the evidence was released.
If there is still evidence, it must be a frame-up.
I can't believe it."
Hu Yi'e shook his head, reached into his bag, and pulled out a brocade box with a stack of Banknote.
"The five thousand taels of silver notes can be cashed by several big banks in Huguang, which is enough for me to support myself in my old age.
With so many lives, five thousand taels is not expensive to sell."
"I, Lao Kong, only received 800 taels from 5,000 taels.
You and I are both in the fifth grade.

This is too much of a difference.
After I meet Princess Xing and the Crown Prince, I will definitely have to discuss it. " "You're not an official in charge of the yamen, so it's good to give you this money.
Even if I don't give you a penny, what else can I do to make me the chief judge of this case?"
The two of them had another hahaha, Hu Yi'e said. : "Do you know who handed over this money?
I'm my personal attendant.
He came from my hometown to serve as an official.
He has been serving me for more than thirty years.
Even such a domestic slave has been opened up by Prince Xing's palace. , Send the money over.
They didn’t say anything, but there’s no need to say anything.
If I don’t understand, I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave Anlu.”
Kong Zhang's expression also became solemn, "If they dare to harm anyone who is a member of the Lian Fong Yamen, aren't they afraid of the royal court's laws?"
"When they harmed Zhou Mu, they didn't think about the king's law.
My official position may not be worth much.
In the years of war and chaos, there were not so many king's laws to talk about.
After all, they have been firmly established now.
This time An The driving force behind the Lu Rebellion was the White Lotus Sect, and since the killer was not caught, it would not be a surprise to kill a few more court officials.
So this time, I was just going through the motions, even if I brought along a master like Shenyan Ji Fengnian, it was just to make the scene look like that.
Of course, I had to hit what should be hit, so as not to make them feel uncomfortable. , we are really confused.
But Brother Kong Xian, when you take office, you will be a people-friendly official, what should you do?"
"Cold salad."
Kong Zhang snorted, "Feng Lisong's surrendered troops were recruited into the Anlu Guards.
It was also the efforts of Prince Xing's Mansion behind this.
And in the Yamen, except for a few servants, I don't even have a confidant." , such an official is like the one in the temple I can only wait for people to worship me, and I can't do anything else.
Anyway, I'm used to making clay tires, so it doesn't matter, I just have to live my life.
However, Prince Xing's Mansion shouldn't be complacent for too long, and wait until Prince Ning is pacified.
Settle accounts with them."
In the palace, after Hu Yi'e met with the princess and the prince, he launched an investigation with a serious face.
Ji Fengnian, known as the number one arrester in Huguang, led his capable subordinates and was busy in the two courtyards.
After so much time, it is impossible for evidence to exist, but although the physical evidence is gone, the human evidence is still there.
Every guard patrolman on duty was strictly interrogated, and their confessions were sorted into categories and then summarized.
When it was time to light the lamp in the evening, Hu Yi'e looked at Ji Fengnian and said: "Ji Fengnian, even Guo Futai has heard of your name.
He said that you are the number one arrester in Huguang.
I will test you today.
There are clues to this case."
Is it done?”
Ji Fengsheng's body is tall and strong, and he looks like a wild bear, but only those who are familiar with him know what a delicate heart is hidden under this rough appearance.
And there is so much power hidden in this arm as thick as a small tree.
It's just that this caused headaches for the heroes of Huguang and Green Forest, and the first-class masters who were hated by countless giants in the world, but in front of Hu Yi'e, an old man who had no power to restrain a chicken, he was respectful and showed no trace of violence or wildness.
After hearing the other party's question, he pondered for a moment, and then answered decisively: "The murderer must be a member of the palace, and a person with a very high status in the palace.
Otherwise, it is not enough to explain all the doubts.
If the villain's prediction is correct, the perpetrator should be Yang Chengzu, Yizheng of the palace.
The person behind this is the princess or one of the princes in Prince Xing's palace.
As long as Yang is captured and tortured, there is no need to worry about finding out the real person
