In Phoenix. It was already bright and the sun had not yet risen. It was hidden in the thick clouds and there was no wind. The most fearful thing in spring is the cold in spring. One day is cold and one day is warm.
After the garrison was reunited, there were no more emergencies. Qi Moyan, who had been struggling all night, had already found a random room in the government office and fell asleep. Even the timid eunuch Cheng Shouyi must have had a nervous breakdown for too long, so he was sleeping in the government office hall. Be safe.
After Qin Sheng finished counting the military cards, he checked them carefully with the documents one by one to prevent any omissions. Lieutenant Zhechong, who was both a father and a mother, had to do everything, which really made Ye San admire him even more. After doing this, he would do that, without stopping for a moment, and he was born with a hard life.
Twenty-six people were killed last night, which was indeed a big event in this peaceful age. If there was no explanation by then, they might be demoted and demoted as Cheng Shouyi said.
Most of the 300 regular soldiers in the city were recruited from other places, and the reserve soldiers were mostly from the local city or villagers from the surrounding countryside. More than ten of these dead soldiers were locals alone. Qin Sheng naturally had to notify his family members to claim their bodies, which was also a hard task. .
It was gloomy and gray, and there was some moisture in the air, and it was going to rain. After having a hasty breakfast, I felt depressed by the weather in the middle of the night. In addition, I didn't even see the shadow of my cousin after a long night, and I was even bothered by her, which made me even more irritable and unwilling to talk to her. People knew about it and were prepared to use the stupidest method to go door to door to find him.
The surrounding city walls were guarded by soldiers, and the city gates were tightly closed. Even if this group of thieves with huge goals were broken into pieces, they didn't believe they could escape even in the middle of the night.
There are fifty soldiers patrolling the city wall, each holding a drum. They can immediately beat the drum to send a message. So far, no news has been sent. How could anyone escape?
At ten o'clock in the morning, before he could go out at midnight, Qin Sheng turned back and brought back a woman. Leaving the woman waiting in the main courtyard of the government office, Qin Sheng went to the hall to explain the situation to Ye Sangen, saying that the woman's old house was occupied by a group of people today, and her brother was beaten up, so he came Ask the government office for an explanation.
It was such an eventful time at the moment, and my mind was tense in the middle of the night, so I naturally thought of that group of thieves. I originally planned to wait for the garrison to rest and recuperate before searching the whole city. Unexpectedly, I was caught by someone. As expected, it took no effort at all.
On the third night of the night, Qin Sheng asked Qin Sheng to call Qi Mo Yan, and then he walked to the courtyard to ask the woman about the situation. But as soon as the woman came near, the woman started crying, which really shocked Ye San, and left Monk Zhang Er scratching his head.
The woman was dressed in coarse cloth and had a linen scarf on her head. She probably had light brown skin tanned by years of working in the fields. Even though she was covering her face and sobbing, she couldn't see her face clearly. On the contrary, several guards around her looked at her from time to time, which really made the night There was a thorn in the back at midnight, as if he had done something to this woman.
Midnight was in a dilemma, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Why don't you go in and sit down before crying?" The voice of the woman who was sobbing suddenly stopped, she looked at Midnight with tearful eyes, and gently wiped the bed with her fingers. The watery charm on silkworms, a pair of almond eyes twinkling with tears on their eyelashes, the real pear blossoms with raindrops are all eye-catching.
The woman's dress lacked the elegance of a rich family, but her appearance made Ye San even more stunned. She felt rude and quickly averted her eyes, coughing lightly to relieve her embarrassment.
"Shouldn't the young master persuade the little girl not to cry?" The woman murmured in a soft voice, and her timid appearance made Ye San even more embarrassed.
The woman was amused by the embarrassment in the middle of the night and smiled sweetly. She suddenly felt rude and stopped her voice. Two red clouds flew up from her cheeks. She shook off the drop of water while avoiding her eyes, so as not to arouse pity.
Ye Sangen, who looked to the side, was obviously feeling guilty. He blinked his eyes repeatedly and asked in a slightly embarrassed tone: "Captain Qin said that your old house has been occupied by someone. Do you know who they are?"
"Two women and a group of big men, all holding knives." The woman said submissively.
"My brother and I met early in the morning, argued with them, and got beaten by them." Although the words were brief, they were comprehensive. The woman started to cry again as she spoke.
Ye San Geng, who was most disgusted with seeing a woman crying, suddenly felt his head pounding. He looked at the soldiers on duty and ordered: "Go and find Qi Mo Yan quickly." Ye San Geng, who rarely interacted with women, was clumsy and didn't know. No matter what he said, the two of them just stood facing each other in the yard, and the atmosphere was awkward for a moment.
Qi Moyan yawned and came to the front yard, stretching as if he hadn't woken up. He was followed by Qin Sheng and Cheng Shouyi, who was still a little sluggish. I thought it would be impossible for the prefect to recover from what happened last night for a while. Come to your senses.
By chance, he saw a man and a woman in such a comfortable situation in the courtyard. Qi Moyan suddenly became energetic and strode forward. He didn't care about the woman's good fortune, and whispered to him in the middle of the night: "What's the matter? I just want people to be here." Standing here, we don’t let people come in and sit. This is not a matchmaker’s blind date. Just look at it and don’t talk?" Qi Moyan pretended to whisper like this. His voice was neither too loud nor too quiet, but it was just enough for the woman opposite to hear it. The woman felt shy again, her face was as red as a cloth and she lowered her head timidly.
In the middle of the night, Qi Mo Yan glanced sideways and cursed.
"Get lost", Qi Mo Yanquan pretended not to hear. Thinking that Qin Sheng had already explained the situation, Qi Moyan looked at the woman and asked, "Where is your old house?" Seeing the cowardly look of the official who did not dare to raise his head, the woman replied in a low voice.
"West Side". Qi Moyan asked again: "Were that group still there when you came?" The woman shook her head and said
"I don't know." They just said that after their brother was beaten, the brother and sister left quickly, intending to come to report to the official. They happened to see Qin Sheng, Captain Qin, informing the families of the dead soldiers in the city on the street, so they told them in advance for convenience. He came with his talents and Captain Qin Sheng.
Ye Sangen listened to the woman's words and looked at Qin Sheng aside. The military attache thought that Ye Sangen was asking him to confirm the matter, so he immediately said in a loud voice: "This is what this girl is talking about. I don't have anything to ask for." That's what I said." Such an official statement was not hidden from the eyes and ears of others, making Ye San even more stunned. Especially when several people, including women, looked at him with tears in their eyes, Ye San wanted to find a place to hide. Go in.
Qin Sheng obviously didn't realize what was wrong and still wanted to talk, but he was quickly pushed aside in the middle of the night and said: "Shut up." The goodwill he had just accumulated for him was gone.
Qi Moyan, who had no title, obviously had no experience in this kind of thing. He looked at Cheng Shouyi and asked, "How should we deal with this matter?" Cheng Shouyi was stunned for a moment, obviously not hearing Qi Moyan's question clearly, and was at a loss.
"Ah" said. It has to be said that this Lord Governor is really a bit exhausted. How can he become the Governor of a city with such mental endurance?
Even if it was to take care of Qi Moyan, there was no need for the court to give in like this. Cheng Shouyi's expression made Qi Moyan roll his eyes helplessly even though he understood what he was saying. This was really a good example of failure in success but failure in failure.
Qi Moyan looked at Ye San Geng again and asked, "What should I do?" At this time, Ye San Geng suddenly lost the confusion he had when facing the woman just now, and did not pay attention to Qi Mo Yan. He was not as evasive as before. He looked at the woman quite directly, with a smile in his eyes and said nothing.
After a breath or two, the shame that had just faded from the face of the woman who had been looked at in the middle of the night appeared again, and her head bowed even deeper.
Seeing Ye San Geng acting like this, Qi Moyan was about to speak, but Ye San Geng smiled and said, "If you don't mind, girl, I'll go with you and see what's going on." The woman just whispered.
"Hmm" said. Qi Moyan looked puzzled. He didn't understand why Ye Sangeng seemed to have suddenly changed his temper. His expression was as frivolous as that of a playboy. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a young man teasing Liang in the street. The key was that the woman was still lustful. I was so shy that I refused to return the welcome.
Is it possible that these two people are really getting along with each other? Qi Moyan, who was not as gentle and elegant as he was in front of Ye Xieyou, and who had actually been fighting eagles and fighting dogs since he was a child, was quite a villain.
Qi Moyan suddenly smiled brightly and showed a mean expression that every man would understand. He was about to speak when he saw the woman turn around and leave without any hesitation.
Qi Moyan's smile froze and he was about to talk to Ye Sangeng, but he saw Ye Sangeng following closely behind him and leaving without even saying hello.
Qi Moyan looked at these two people, then looked at the two people behind him who were also confused and confused, and finally said: "Send two people to follow. My brother-in-law is not here so that my brother-in-law won't do anything wrong." I'm sure. Ye Sangen, who heard Qi Moyan's words, turned around and opened his mouth. Although he didn't make a sound, anyone could tell that it was someone who
"roll".
