Ye Wuyou's hand holding the file stopped.
"Is it him?"
"right"
Ye Wuyou stood up calmly, "Old Bangzi, I'm asking for leave."
"how long"
"have no idea"
"That's right," Mu Chengfeng sighed, "Come back early after you finish your work. You have to do what you promised me."
"good"
Early next morning
A handsome young man in black, a carriage and a coffin
Taking advantage of the mist, I hurriedly rushed out of Luojing City Gate
Ye Wuyou turned around, glanced at the coffin and murmured, "Go home."
On the other side, in front of the door of the Suppression of Evil Department, a petite woman holding a blood-red spear about 10 feet in hand stood motionless at the door.
The early autumn dew has already wetted the skirts of people’s clothes. It was obvious that they had been standing for a long time.
When Mu Chengfeng arrived at the gate of the Evil Suppression Department carrying breakfast, he saw the clerk standing in front of the little girl with a collapsed expression to persuade him.
"Girl, what are you doing standing here?"
"I want to join the Evil Suppression Department"
"But the Evil Suppression Department doesn't accept women."
"I still want to join the Evil Suppression Department"
"There are no women in the Evil Suppression Department!"
"I'm going to join the Evil Suppression Department"
The clerk scratched his head angrily. When he saw Mu Chengfeng, he felt like he was seeing a great savior. He hurriedly walked over and said respectfully, "Director, this little girl from nowhere insists on joining our Evil Suppression Division."
"But our Evil Suppression Department has never had a woman... Director, look at this..."
Mu Chengfeng shook his head and sighed, waving his hands, "Go ahead and leave this little girl to me."
"Hey, that's great."
Mu Chengfeng walked up to Ye Xueyan, looked at the little girl with a dull face and calm eyes, and sighed to himself, "Come with me."
Ye Xueyan's eyes were filled with a hint of joy, and she hurriedly followed Mu Chengfeng into the Suppression of Evil Department...
...
Yanzhou
As one of the nine states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yanzhou is quite prosperous. In addition, it is located inland, and the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been calm in recent years. Therefore, the prosperity of Yanzhou is almost that of Luojing
Yanzhou has jurisdiction over 9 counties and 57 counties, and Zhang Xiaoxie’s hometown is among these 57 small counties.
In Minghe County, Ye Wuyou drove the carriage to the gate of the county with a tired expression.
The city guarding yamen soldiers looked at Ye Wuyou, who was dressed in black and had a white tiger embroidered on his shoulders and chest, and couldn't help but look wary.
The Evil Suppression Department is here to investigate the case...
Even though the Suppressing Evil Division is marginalized in Luojing, after leaving Luojing, even the governor of a state does not dare to look down upon it. Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty does not like the people of the Suppressing Evil Division to be allowed into the court.
But everyone in the world also knows that the director of the Department of Suppression and Evil, entering the palace is like entering his own garden...
When people from the Suppression and Evil Department come to their small county town... there will definitely be trouble...
The alert yamen soldiers had already winked at their colleagues and ran towards the county yamen quickly.
Ye Wuyou seemed unaware, "Can I enter the city?"
The officer soldier looked at the tightly sealed carriage and asked cautiously, "Of course it's okay to enter the city, but I just don't know what is in this carriage, sir?"
"a friend"
The eyes of the Yamen soldiers were twitching wildly, "This... Sir, I'm afraid something is wrong. Our county magistrate has explicitly prohibited corpses from wandering around the city... So, if you want to enter the city, why don't you store the corpses in Yizhuang outside the city first?" It’s not far there, it only takes an hour. It’s still early in the morning, so it won’t be too late for you to enter the city after the adults have settled in.”
Ye Wuyou thought about it and realized that this was also the case. He nodded, "That's right. It's very inconvenient to walk in the city like this. How to get to Yizhuang?"
"Sir, please turn to the west and you can see it if you keep walking."
"Thanks"
When Ye Wuyou walked away, the yamen soldiers took a breath
Not long after, the county magistrate in green robe ran out, walked straight to the Yamen soldiers, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are the people from the Suppression of Evil Department? What's the matter with him here?"
The officer soldier scratched his head and said, "Sir, that man seems to be here to send someone back home... There are corpses on the carriage."
"Maybe it's that person's colleague."
The county magistrate was slightly reassured. The name of the Suppressing Evil Division was very popular among the people of the Zhou Dynasty. Anyone who saw the clerk with a white tiger embroidered on his chest and left shoulder would admire him, but officials would not be sure if they saw it.
As long as they show up, there must be some unjust, false or wrong case, or there will be suspects on the loose... No matter which one, the end of the year evaluation is approaching, if Minghe County stalls with such a mess, the evaluation will definitely not be high, and the county magistrate Hong Chengzu can't help but feel a little disappointed worry
After thinking about it, Hong Chengzu ordered
"Go and call me a carriage. I won't worry if I don't take a look."
"yes!"
After a while, a simple carriage swayed towards Ye Wuyou's direction.
In Yizhuang, Ye Wuyou marked the coffin, and after settling it, he began to pack the carriage and prepare to enter the city.
A carriage stopped not far away, and then an official with a somewhat anxious look came out.
Hong Chengzu came over with some flattery and asked kindly, "This agent from the Suppression of Evil Department, why do you want to come to Minghe County? If there is anything that I can help with, please feel free to tell me."
Ye Wuyou looked at the person coming and laughed in his heart. Besides Luo Jing, the name of the Suppressing Evil Division was also quite famous, but luckily it was mostly positive.
"Master Hong, don't worry. I'm here, Ye Wuyou. I'm just here to see my friend back home. After burying my friend, I have some small things that I need Master Hong to do."
Hong Chengzu smiled in surprise, "It turns out it's Ye Tingfeng who has been in person for a long time. I don't know what kind of help Ye Tingfeng needs from me. As long as it is within the scope of the county's functions, Ye Tingfeng can ask for it."
Ye Wuyou chuckled, "It's not a big deal, I just want to take a look at your county's record library and check some information."
"Hey, Ye Tingfeng can do whatever he wants!" Hong Chengzu said confidently
As long as it's not his problem, these are nothing. After all, he has only been the county magistrate for less than five years. The old cases in the docket are all settled by people in the past and have nothing to do with him.
Since he was not the one causing trouble for him, Hong Chengzu felt relieved and told the people in Yizhuang to settle down Ye Tingfeng's friends as soon as possible, and then warmly invited Ye Wuyou to return to the county with him.
Ye Wuyou also followed the good advice. After all, if you want to inquire about a person who has been away from Minghe County for 20 years, you still need information from the county government.
Returning to the county office, Hong Chengzu handed Ye Wuyou the key to the case library and went to arrange meals.
Ye Wuyou walked into the document library and looked at the classified documents. He couldn't help but nod. This Hong Chengzu was not a mediocre person. He clearly classified the documents in the document library according to years and events. It could be seen at a glance.
Ye Wuyou didn't tell him what he wanted to investigate. He was also worried that someone might cause harm if the news leaked out. But now that he saw this well-organized record library, Ye Wuyou felt that this county magistrate might not be simple.
Because there is a cabinet that is extremely brand new, and the files are also brand new. They are very different from other cabinets. As expected, this is the file from his term of office.
To wrap things up for his predecessor, he also draws clear boundaries for himself. As long as anything does not happen during his term of office, it will not be a stain on him. This county magistrate is so wise.
Ye Wuyou started searching according to the year. He searched in a wide circle but found nothing. His face couldn't help but become a little solemn.
There are files from twenty years ago, and there are also files from after that, but that year is missing... Did nothing happen in the entire Minghe County that year...
Ye Wuyou sneered
