What a pity, what a pity, the boss actually knew for a long time that someone would kill someone and silence him, but he never expected that the person who killed him would be the subordinate of the boss he once helped.
After killing the people, these men in black did not leave, but picked up everything.
Some carried the bodies and sneaked into the dense forest to bury them, some rearranged everything in the house, some cleaned the house from top to bottom, and some were removing the blood stains...
Judging from their appearance, they must be trying to destroy the evidence.
The next day, early in the morning, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu in Lenan Prefecture, Huguang Province, could not rest for a moment, and continued to check the information early in the morning.
"Guo Yushi."
With a call, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, raised his face and looked at Yan Kangping, the magistrate of Lenan Prefecture, who was walking towards him.
"Guo Yushi, you are busy early in the morning." Yan Zhifu smiled slightly.
Guo Yushi nodded and continued to read the information in his hand. He had read it over and over ten times, and it could be said that he could memorize it.
"Did Censor Guo find any clues?" Magistrate Yan asked with great interest.
Guo Yushi sighed, looking at Magistrate Yan and looking at the information in his hand, while saying: "This information doesn't seem to be abnormal. Magistrate Yan, I would like to ask how many days will it take after the disaster relief food is shipped out?" Is there any news from the Jinhua Mansion officials just now?”
"Going back to Guo Yushi, there is a lot of food for the disaster relief, and there are also a lot of carriages. According to this theory, it can take up to ten days to reach Jinhua Mansion. By now, it will be fourteen days for the Yamen." Yan Zhifu is serious. replied.
"So during this period, no one came back to report that the relief food had not arrived?" Guo Yushi asked again.
Magistrate Yan nodded: "Indeed. If it weren't for the yamen servant from Jinhua Mansion, I wouldn't even know this would happen."
At this time, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, suddenly stood up. His serious face and serious face made Yan Zhifu feel a little scared.
"Okay. We will not stay here any longer. The Prime Minister and the Prime Minister are very concerned about this matter, and it is related to the lives of the people of Jinhua Mansion. We need to rush to Jinhua Mansion immediately."
Hearing what Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, said, Yan Kangping, the magistrate of Lenan Prefecture, wanted to persuade him to stay: "Censor Guo, I haven't had breakfast yet. Why don't you have some before you go?"
In his heart, he thought, but for the sake of his official prestige and reputation, it would be okay to go hungry, so Guo Yushi refused.
"This case needs to be investigated as soon as possible and the people of Jinhua Mansion must be given an explanation. Just have breakfast."
After finishing speaking, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, walked to the yamen and waited for the people from his Guo Mansion to prepare the carriage. Then he hurriedly got on it and headed towards Jinhua Mansion along the official road.
Seeing the carriage of Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, moving away, Magistrate Yan of Lenan Prefecture breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the master who came to watch.
"Go back and take care of our affairs." Magistrate Yan said.
Seeing the serious look on the prefect Yan Kangping's face, the master didn't dare to think too much and responded: "Hey."
After saying that, Magistrate Yan turned around and headed towards the government office, heading towards his office.
"Prefect, how should we deal with Guo Kang?" Master asked.
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Yan looked left and right outside. After seeing that there was no movement, he looked at Master.
"How can we deal with it? Just do our job well. I believe you know what should be said and what should not be said." Magistrate Yan said.
"Yes, yes. The prefect said yes." The master did not dare to say any more.
"Okay, you go down. Watch their every move and don't let them hear or talk about anything they shouldn't inquire about."
"yes."
After answering, the master opened the door, walked out, and became busy in the yamen.
Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, was loved by the people, but in the court, he was reviled by several officials.
All the way east, the carriage in which Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, was sitting was only a short distance away from Jinhua Mansion in Jianglai Province.
…
"master."
"Is everything done?"
"It's done."
Every time after asking the most important question, Magistrate Ding turned around with his majestic body.
"Then those who deserve to be killed...are they all killed?" Magistrate Ding asked.
"Sir, kill them all. No one will be left alive. All clues will be cut off."
The steward's words made Ding Weiang, the prefect of Xingyi Prefecture, feel more at ease.
"Okay. Now that it's done, it's good. In this way, you can follow me faithfully in the past few days and go out less to avoid exposing your mistakes." Magistrate Ding said.
"Hey." In response, Butler Ye asked worriedly: "Master, I heard that Guo Kang rushed to Xingyi Mansion. Can he really find out anything?"
Listening to Butler Ye's words, Magistrate Ding smiled slightly and said confidently: "Didn't you say that the clues were cut off for him? This... As long as Guo Kang can't find a single clue, he can just find someone to be this person. What danger could we be in, scapegoat?"
"The master is wise."
Ding Weiang laughed loudly, looked at Butler Ye in front of him, and said with a smile: "You kid, you can't even flatter me."
Butler Ye smiled slightly and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Okay. Just follow my instructions these days."
"Yes, sir."
On one side, people are still happy and worried about food, while on the other side, Jinhua Mansion is still waiting hard for disaster relief food.
However, at this moment, as the Minister of Disaster Relief, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, ignored those counties and counties that did not receive disaster relief food. Instead, he went to those counties that already had disaster relief food to become a "good official".
The people of Jinhua Mansion are getting hungrier every day.
Since the Jiang Lai disaster, the people of Jinhua Prefecture have been unable to eat a grain of rice for more than ten days.
Many people who could not hold on had starved to death in various corners of Jinhua Mansion, and some were so hungry that they ate everything they could eat.
Outside the city of Jinhua Mansion, a few lush and green trees had been destroyed by this group of hungry people.
The leaves on the trees were already in the mouths of the people before they turned yellow. The bark was pulled out alive by the people and stuffed into their mouths, and the roots were also stuffed into their mouths.
It can be said that there is nothing in Jinhua City that these people can't eat.
The grass growing on the ground and the grass roots growing underground have been eaten up by the common people; the dogs originally in the city, belonging to wealthy families, have long been forcibly pulled out and eaten by these common people; the dogs originally raised in the pond The fish and birds in the trees were also eaten.
The entire Jinhua City is now like a scary city without animals, lifeless and lifeless.
At this time, not a single animal could be seen in Jinhua City, let alone the birds in the city, and all insects had long since disappeared.
Some people who were so hungry that they didn't know what to eat gathered in front of the government office and caused trouble.
Today is different from the past. The faces of the common people today can be seen as lifeless. They stand weakly in front of the yamen, seeming to be ready to struggle and resist.
"Give us rice!"
"We need food!"
"No! Demolish the government office!"
Although everyone spoke very arrogantly, there was no trace of arrogance in the mouths of these hungry people.
Although the government officials in front of the government office are not as hungry as the common people, they have long since run out of rice, and they have become nervous in the past few days. They don't want to do this energy-consuming thing with hungry bodies.
Seeing that no one answered, these people were like angry chickens, rushing towards the Yamen.
When the yamen officer saw this, he held the scabbard tightly in his hand and held it horizontally, trying to block these people.
A hungry man doesn't have much strength, but compared with a yamen servant who isn't very hungry, the difference is still quite big.
No matter how hard the people struggled, they could not succeed at all.
"Brothers! Guard the Yamen!" Wei Shaotou said and hurriedly went to find the prefect Li Jianyuan.
"Prefect!"
"Prefect!"
Before getting the consent of the prefect Li Jianyuan, Wei Captou had already rushed into the office of the prefect Li Jianyuan.
"What's the matter?"
Magistrate Li raised his anxious head and looked at Mr. Wei's appearance. He no longer had any extra thoughts to care about the rules.
"Prefect, it's not good. Those people are making trouble again. From the looks of it, they are determined to fight with the Yamen. If this continues, those brothers will not be able to hold on."
After listening to what Capt. Wei said and seeing the worried look on Capt. Wei's face, Magistrate Li Jianyuan thought about it for a while.
But outside the yamen, an accident suddenly happened.
One hundred people picked up a big stone and threw it at the government servant's head.
I saw a government official lying on the ground, bleeding.
Seeing this scene, the government officials on the side became even more panicked.
"Folks! Don't be impulsive! You have something to say!" a yamen servant yelled.
If it weren't for the laws of the imperial court, no one in the government would kill innocent people indiscriminately without any evidence and the consent of the local prefect, prefect, and county magistrate.
Having a long sword but not being able to use it is the biggest regret of the government officials who are now guarding here.
"There is nothing to say! There is no food! Nothing can be said!" One hundred people were angry.
The actions of the common people just now immediately set an example for these common people.
At this time, several people picked up stones and wanted to throw them at the government officials.
Seeing this, one of the government officials was about to pull out his long knife to scare them. Before he could pull out the long knife, a big stone hit them, causing the government official's death to be in vain.
When the surrounding government officials saw this, they immediately became energetic, put away their long knives, and planned to use force to subdue these people.
In the yamen, the prefect Li Jianyuan made a decision that he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Go and inform those brothers. Guard the yamen and don't let the people cause trouble. If anyone makes trouble, kill them!"
After listening to what the prefect said, Mr. Wei, who was standing in front of him, came with some reluctance: "Prefect, do you do this... right? If you are blamed, your official will not be protected."
"What time has it been? It doesn't matter whether the officer is guaranteed or not. Save your life first. Go ahead and do as the officer says."
"yes."
Wei Captou hurriedly walked out of the yamen gate and saw the yamen servants fighting with the people. Two yamen servants were dead on the ground, and there were stones stained with bright red beside them.
"The prefect has an order! Guard the yamen! Don't cause trouble! If anyone insists on making trouble, kill him!" said Capt. Wei.
As soon as he said this, several injured government officials retreated to the back, drew their long knives, and stared ahead.
But at this time, there was no need to calm down. Several brave people chose to fight. As soon as they stepped forward and prepared to throw stones, the government officer also mercilessly wiped his neck with a knife.
The timid people immediately stayed away, the bold ones kept sending their heads away, and the hesitant ones stood on the ground at a loss.
