In the middle of the night, Xiangyang government office.
The group was led to the lobby by inspection.
Not long after, the local official came out. He was not irritable or impatient after being woken up. Instead, he was full of energy and dressed in official uniform. After sitting down directly above him, he went straight to the point: "I am sure it is the evil thief Lai Sangxing." ?”
He asked the question to the Xiangyang Inspection Office, who replied with clasped fists: "Yes, the identity of the thief has been repeatedly confirmed, and it is Lai Sangxing."
"Okay, okay." The official said twice in a row. Perhaps it was because of this news that he was extremely excited. He couldn't help but say: "This thief has been running around many places, stealing and desecrating. He specializes in picking out women. Afterwards, he kills and escapes. He has already been killed." He has claimed more than a dozen lives, which is a lot of evil. Recently, the Japanese government received a letter from Jiangcheng, and was about to blockade Xiangyang and catch turtles in the jar. Unexpectedly, this thief was caught in the Yunlai Inn. It is really a network of heaven and earth, and it is not missed! "
This was a serious criminal on a wanted list, and the officials certainly had reasons to be happy that he could be caught so quickly.
After Xiao Yu and others heard this, there was no big disturbance, but the girl's face turned pale for a while, and she couldn't help but feel scared.
The innkeeper was so frightened that he knelt down with a bang and stammered: "Sir, the registration of residents in Cao Min Cao Min's shop is done in accordance with regulations. How could it be possible?"
Understanding what he meant, the inspector said: "This is none of your business. The thieves broke in through the window from outside. The reason why I called you here is to ask some other questions."
"That's it, that's it. It scares the little guy to death." The shopkeeper let out a long sigh and couldn't help but lift his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat. If a wanted criminal lived in his shop and he didn't report it to the official, That would be troublesome.
"This thief raped young girls, ruined people's innocence, and took many lives. He was actually the leader of evil. Originally, according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he should have been executed in a hurry. But now that he has been killed, the case can be ended. The official said, "Now let me explain the specific situation. Who is the victim?"
In any case, there must be facts and files.
At this time, there were also clerks writing records.
The young girl glanced at Xiao Yu again, then saluted politely and said: "People's daughter Shen Zhiyue"
So, I told the story from beginning to end.
During this period, the officials also asked Xiao Yu and others, and finally checked the resident registration of Yunlai Inn and the identities and directions of everyone.
After all this was done, the official nodded: "Well, you are all innocent people. You suffered this unreasonable disaster, but it was because of some deficiencies in our defense in Xiangyang that the thieves were in danger of committing the crime."
I didn't expect him to say such words. This officer is not bad. Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile.
The official happened to look at him and seemed to be quite curious: "This young man, Xiao Erlang, is so courageous. If he hadn't taken action in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. On the other hand, Lai Sangxing, I heard that this thief has some tricks. I don't know what you think." How to defeat it?"
Xiao Yu said perfunctorily: "I just learned some family fists and kicks, which is nothing."
"Then are you interested in working in Xiangyang? With your skills, you can protect the safety of the place."
In the feudal dynasty, local officials usually wanted to recruit heroes who had a clean foundation and eliminated great harm for the people, arranging errands or escorts in the county.
But who is Xiao Yu's identity? How could he stay here? He smiled and said, "Thank you for your support, sir. I appreciate your kindness. I'm just used to being idle. I'm really sorry."
Being appreciated by the Xiangyang Prefecture was a great opportunity for ordinary people, but he refused without thinking.
Others in the hall couldn't help but be stunned.
Before the official could speak, the inspector said, "Young man, don't be ignorant. Do you know that your Majesty's willingness to speak is something that no one can ask for!"
Yang Zhao, who was watching coldly, curled his lips secretly.
"Hey~" The official raised his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Since Xiao Erlang is not willing, how can he force it."
"Thank you, Lord Fu Ling." Xiao Yu handed over his hand again: "Since the case has been concluded, I won't disturb you further."
"Wait a minute." The official said, "Today you will get rid of the thief and help the government arrest the evildoer. Regarding this case, our government will also give you some gold and silver rewards in accordance with the regulations. After the file is established, someone will send it to you. ."
"You don't have to do this to the things outside your body, let alone to eliminate harm for the people. How dare you covet them."
Xiao Yu said and nodded politely: "Farewell."
After saying that, he left here directly, and Yang Zhao and other Jin Yiwei quickly followed.
"Oh, I'm talking about you, Xiao Erlang."
The inspection inspector in Xiangyang couldn't help but stretched out his hand, but the official smiled and said: "Okay, let him go. This man is young and chivalrous, and he has the demeanor of a gentleman. It's just a pity. If he could stay in Xiangyang, Enough."
Seeing that Xiao Yu had left, Shen Zhiyue was obviously anxious. She didn't care what they were talking about during the inspection: "Your Excellency, can the daughter of the people leave?"
"Of course." The official nodded and did not forget to tell her: "But you, a daughter, must protect yourself when you are away from home."
"Yes, thank you, sir." After Shen Zhiyue saluted, he hurriedly took the maid away.
She was wearing a classic dress and white embroidered shoes. She was walking quickly, and the maid was still calling from behind: "Oh, Miss, please wait for me."
After a night of case questioning, the sky was already getting slightly brighter.
"Master Xiao, Master Xiao."
Shen Zhiyue's shout came from behind. Xiao Yu paused for a moment, while Yang Zhao and other Jinyi guards frowned.
"Miss Shen." Xiao Yu cupped his hands for a moment.
"Young Master Xiao." Shen Zhiyue returned the salute with her hands on her waist. She was panting slightly because she was chasing so fast. She paused before saying, "Young Master, I'm so kind to you."
Xiao Yu quickly stopped: "Miss Shen, I have made it very clear. When a thief commits an attack, you should help him, so why bother? Please don't take this matter to heart, let alone say any kindness."
"But...but" Shen Zhiyue's pretty face was anxious.
"Okay." Xiao Yu said with a slight smile: "You and I meet by chance, Miss Shen cherishes it."
After saying that, he handed over and left.
"Master Xiao" Shen Zhiyue wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Not long after, the maid also caught up and said out of breath: "Miss, please wait for me."
Shen Zhiyue ignored her and looked at Xiao Yu's back in a daze.
After the maid took her breath, she looked at her first, then looked in front of her, waved her hand and said, "Miss, that Xiao Erlang has left."
"Ah?" Shen Zhiyue came back to her senses, lowered her head slightly and remained silent.
The maid pretended to put her finger on her chin and thought: "This Xiao Erlang, not to mention the appreciation of the governor, he doesn't even want gold and silver rewards. What kind of person is he?"
"Don't be so arrogant. You can criticize Mr. Xiao?" Shen Zhiyue felt defensive for no reason.
