"Yinxing."

"The little one is here."

Although the old man knew that the person calling him was not him, his heart was beating very fast for some reason.

The old man looked straight at Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu.

"Let him go for now."

As soon as the master's words came out, the housekeeper Yin Xing thought he heard the words wrong.

"Master, are you letting me go now?" the housekeeper confirmed.

"Let it go." The master insisted.

At this time, the housekeeper Yin Xing just let the old man go.

As soon as the old man got up, he moved his whole body, trying to drive away all the pain.

"Yinxing."

"The little one is here."

"Tighten the lids on these coffins and restore them to their original state."

"Master, have you found the real murderer?" Butler Yin Xing was curious.

Guo Yushi shook his head: "Just do it."

"Eh."

After answering, Yin Xing went to close the coffin lid, while the old man on the side looked at this scene and was about to leave.

Just after taking a step or two, he was stopped by Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu.

"You! Come here, together."

After Guo Yushi's words, the old man stopped and walked over.

After closing all the coffin lids and burying the soil, several people sat on the thatched ground and rested.

While he was resting, the butler Yin Xing asked: "Master, where should we go next?"

Looking at the face of the steward Yin Xing, Guo Yushi's eyes shifted to the old man.

Looking at the master's eyes, the housekeeper Yin Xing looked over.

Seeing the way the two looked at him, the old man felt a little flustered.

"What are you looking at me for? I've done what I need to say, and I've done what I need to do. Can I... go?" the old man asked.

"Where is your home?" Guo Yushi asked.

Upon hearing this and looking at the two people, the old man knew that lying was useless, so he had to tell the truth: "It's over there, just a few steps away."

"Come on, take us there." Guo Yushi said.

Upon hearing this, the old man was very frightened: "You are so good, why do you go to my house? I don't have rice for you to eat."

After listening to the old man's words, Guo Yushi laughed: "Don't worry, we won't touch a grain of your rice."

After saying this, the three of them stood up and patted the dirt on their bodies.

The old man walked in front to lead the way, Guo Yushi walked in the middle, and the steward Yin Xing walked behind with two long knives in his hands.

One belongs to the master and the other belongs to me.

Walking, following the old man's footsteps, exactly as he said, he walked out of the dense forest in just a few steps.

What came into view was a large piece of flat land, where there were several families. A stream of water passed in front of the house, and a few ducks were seen playing in the water. There is a wooden bridge made of wood, and two children can be seen playing on the bridge. Thick smoke came out of the chimney of one of the houses, and the smoke disappeared in the wind. Farmland, livestock, food, it can be said that everything is available.

Looking at such a scene, I really feel like I am in a paradise.

"There is such a place here." Guo Yushi said with a smile.

After hearing this, the old man on the side said: "I have lived in a place like this all my life." Then, the old man pointed to the wide road and said: "This road leads to the official road. Taking this road can lead to Nearby Fuzhou County. This has been built by generations of people."

"Then if you live here, you don't have to pay any taxes." Guo Yushi said.

"The officials were joking. This road leads to the official road and can go to various prefectures and counties. How can I not have to pay court taxes?"

Looking at such a scene, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, was so happy that he really wanted to use all his belongings to build this place into his own garden.

"Okay, it's still important to investigate the case."

After finishing speaking, Guo Yushi walked down the ridge paved with bluestone.

After walking a few steps, I saw a family hiding and closing the doors and windows.

Seeing this, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, looked at the steward Yin Xing on the side with a questioning look on his face: "Is there something on the master's face?"

Butler Yin Xing took a closer look and said, "No."

Seeing this, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, made up his mind to find out what happened: "Yinxing, let's go and have a look."

Seeing that Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, was about to leave, the old man leading the way smiled slightly: "Official, are you not going to my house now?"

Guo Kang waved anxiously, indicating that he was not going, and hurried towards that house.

When we arrived at that house, all the doors and windows were closed.

"Hey! Is there anyone there?" Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, shouted.

After not hearing a word from the house for a long time, Guo Yushi looked at the housekeeper Yin Xing beside him.

Although he didn't say anything, he could understand what he meant from his eyes.

Then, the two of them walked towards the wall together.

The wall of this family is made of mud, and the height of the wall is not very high. It is only one head taller than Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu.

The two squatted in the corner and discussed quietly.

I saw that the two of them had a little head.

The master stood up, but the butler Yin Xing was still squatting in the corner.

Mr. Guo raised one foot and stepped on one shoulder of the housekeeper Yin Xing, and then raised the other foot and stepped on the other shoulder of Yin Xing.

Guo Kang successfully clung to the wall with his hands and could see clearly what was inside.

There was no one in the yard, and a few chickens were roaming freely in the yard. Under the eaves, a few bundles of dry firewood stood beside the wall. Looking at the appearance inside, it didn't look like anyone was living there.

Guo Kang got off Yin Xing's shoulder and looked at Yin Xing: "Who dares to be so afraid of me? Could it be that he is hiding something from me?" After muttering to himself, Guo Yushi ordered: "Go, hold the door." Pull away!"

"Yes, sir."

I don't know whether it was because the door was in disrepair and could not withstand the kick of housekeeper Yin Xing, or because Yin Xing was too strong and the door fell to the ground with one kick.

Entering the courtyard, Zuodu Yushi Guo Kang smiled slightly: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"

Several calls were made, but no one responded.

As they walked, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, came to the main entrance and called out again: "Is there anyone there?"

Still no one responded.

Guo Kang squinted his eyes and looked into the house through the crack in the door, and indeed saw the shadow of a person.

"Yinxing."

The master shouted and looked over. Yin Xing immediately understood what the master meant, kicked the door, and opened it.

I saw a couple hugging each other in the house, with frightened faces visible on their faces. There was also a cart of things covered with cloth around.

"Yinxing, go and see what's covered."

"yes."

The housekeeper Yin Xing walked over, pulled the cloth open with some force, and dust instantly spread into the simple wooden house.

"Sir, it's food."

With the words of the steward Yin Xing, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, walked over and took a closer look. It was indeed grain.

In an instant, Guo Yushi asked the couple.

"Where did this food come from?!" Guo Yushi said with an accusing tone.

The two of them said nothing and hugged each other, looking very nervous.

For such people, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, likes to use violence to solve problems.

"Yinxing, go."

Butler Yin Xing pulled out a long knife, put it on their necks, and threatened: "Say! If you dare not tell, I will wipe your necks."

As soon as the butler Yin Xing threatened, the couple knelt down and kept knocking their heads in recognition of their mistake.

"Officials, the common people know they are wrong, the common people know they are wrong."

"Where did this food come from?" Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, asked again.

"Say!" Butler Yin Xing threatened.

"Yes...it was stolen by the common people." The man said.

"Robbing?" Guo Yushi didn't believe it.

The couple nodded, then continued to kowtow and admit their mistake.

"Officials, the common people know they are wrong, the common people know they are wrong."

"Did you two really grab this relief food?" Guo Yushi asked again.

The two still nodded.

"Nonsense!" Guo Yushi said angrily.

Looking at the angry face of the master, the housekeeper Yin Xing threatened: "If you dare to lie again, I will chop off your heads!"

This time, the man spoke honestly: "No...no."

"How did it come? Tell me!" Guo Kang interrogated.

I saw the man raised his head, glanced outside, and then looked at Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu.

Soon, Guo Kang knew what the man meant, walked over and closed the door.

Then, he walked up to the couple and continued to ask: "Tell me."

"On that day, the grassroots people knew that a convoy carrying disaster relief food was passing by that official road, so the grassroots people ambush there with them, and robbed the relief food when the opportunity came. Although the grassroots people had no martial arts, they could not use arrows. By the way, after robbing this batch of disaster relief food, the poor people divided it equally, and each family got one cart."

After saying this, the man's wife next to him kowtowed again: "Officer, I know I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong."

Looking at their appearance and listening to their words, they don't look like people who tell lies.

Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, looked at the bags of rice on the car beside him and asked: "This is wrong. Since one family has one car, why is there so little food? Isn't this the only amount of relief food provided by Lenan Mansion? ?”

"When I got this grain, I sold some of it. Officials and ordinary people know they are wrong, and ordinary people know they are wrong." The couple kowtowed again.

Seeing that the case would soon come to light, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, felt a little more at ease.

Seeing that it was starting to get dark outside, Guo Yushi sighed, squatted down, looked at the faces of the couple, and started talking.

"It's so good, why do you want to intercept this batch of disaster relief food?"

After hearing this, the couple cried and cried: "Official, you don't understand. This place is under the jurisdiction of Lingtai County. On that day, the poor people went to the city to get a bowl of porridge for disaster relief, but the county magistrate Xu Yongbin didn't care about the poor people at all. We treat them well, saying that we are not the people of Lingtai County, so we don’t provide rice for disaster relief. This is a last resort..."

"Officials, the common people know they are wrong."

Listening to their cries, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, looked at the steward Yin Xing on the side and gave him a waist card: "Go, go to the county office of Lingtai County and send some officials over. As long as they see this The badge will definitely do the trick."

"Eh."

"Be careful along the way."

"Yes, sir."
