Wen Xiaoyun turned around and looked back in the direction she ran in. Apart from the few government servants who were gradually walking away, there were no other people in the long corridor.
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes were dark and her brain was working rapidly, choosing the safest place for herself.
The night is getting late, and almost all government offices are open. Especially for the subordinate staff in the sixth room, their office area has been locked, and there is probably no one around.
It is undoubtedly the most ideal place for the killer who wants to get rid of her.
But before, she told Xiao He to go to the execution room to find her. If she didn't go...
But Wen Xiaoyun quickly made a choice. If Bian Xiaohe didn't find her in the execution room, he would naturally leave.
He should have thought that she had left temporarily because of something else. What's more, it was almost time for the official to go to bed. According to Bian Xiaohe's character, he should go back to the official's house and wait until the next morning to find her.
Then she could go to Bian Xiaohe's official residence to wait for him in advance.
Not to mention that there is a place for oneself there, but there are others in the official residence, which should also deter the killers lurking in the dark from taking action.
By the time Xiao Wu Zuo comes back, Yin Nuo should also be back.
Thinking of this, Wen Xiaoyun decisively turned around and followed those well-fed and drunk government officials.
Their offices are all in one area, and it is safest to have people around them at this time.
However, just when Wen Xiaoyun followed the government servants and had not taken two steps, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness behind her and landed heavily on her shoulder.
Wen Xiaoyun's back instantly tensed up, and her right hand reached into the cuff of her left hand.
There was the powder given to her by Yinnuo.
But she soon relaxed a little, because the voice coming from behind was a familiar voice to her.
"Shu Li Wen? It's better to arrive early than to arrive late. This torture chamber is just about to find you."
That person was Hu Dongcai, Wen Xiaoyun's immediate superior and junior leader.
Wen Xiaoyun turned around, raised his hands and saluted, "Hu Xingfang."
Hu Dongcai nodded slightly, then looked up at the government officials walking in front, "Don't leave either!"
The few people were stunned for a moment, and then they all stopped and turned around. When they saw it was the executioner's subordinate, they quickly bent down and saluted.
Hu Dongcai returned the salute in a perfunctory manner, straightened his posture, and ordered loudly: "I heard the news from above. Next month, the Yanzhou Prefecture and the new officials will come down to our Teng County to review the government affairs of all parties. Documents. The county magistrate has ordered that within this month, in addition to daily matters that need to be carried out as usual, the staff of the six rooms must be rotated throughout the night to sort out the documents and files of each room. "
Upon hearing the news, the happy colors on the faces of the government officials suddenly disappeared, and all of them turned into bitter faces, with unhappiness written all over their faces.
Higher-level officials and inspectors regularly review and supervise lower-level prefectures and counties. Every time, the lower-level yamen have to organize the documents in advance, including carefully covering up some secret operations that cannot be mentioned on the table. Every time it is a time-consuming and laborious test for junior officials like them.
But the problem is that it is not yet time for routine review. It can be said that it is a huge additional burden for them.
But they didn't dare say anything. After all, there was a big incident in Teng County not long ago where the entire arrest team was blamed. The above-mentioned Yamen specially sends officials to review and verify, which is also normal operation.
So after they reluctantly bowed to Hu Dongcai, they all turned back and walked towards the sixth office room with their heads down.
After saying this, Hu Dongcai glanced at Wen Xiaoyun coldly and said, "I have some things to report to the magistrate in the execution room. You go to the execution room and wait first."
Wen Xiaoyun took a deep breath. Although she was still the only one in the torture room for the time being, there were people in other rooms in the neighborhood, so it was safer at last.
So she cupped her hands towards Hu Dongcai, then followed the footsteps of the people in front of her and continued walking towards the torture chamber.
Hu Dongcai didn't say much, rolled down his sleeves, and walked towards the magistrate's courtyard where Fu Yunlang was.
Here, Wen Xiaoyun had no other problems along the way and followed others smoothly to the gate of the execution chamber.
However, to be cautious, she did not go into the courtyard first. Instead, she went to the nearby military building to borrow a lantern.
Doing so will also confuse the killer who may still be hiding around the corner. There are so many yards around, and because I suddenly received an overtime notice, more subordinates and junior officials came and went. Even if she joins the crowd, people won't be able to predict her next move.
When she opened the door of the official residence with a lantern, she looked around cautiously.
Fortunately, the yard is not too big and it is quite empty, so you can clean it all at a glance.
The windows in the main room and the side room were tightly closed, and the doors were all fully locked with locks.
Looking up at the roof again, there was nothing unusual.
Wen Xiaoyun quickly walked to the main room, opened the copper lock, pushed open the door, and carefully illuminated it with a lantern, but there was no movement.
Wen Xiaojun turned his hand and closed the door again, turned around and blew out the lantern, and put his ear against the door to listen carefully to what was going on inside.
