An arrow shot from the top of the wall and pierced the matchmaker's shoulder blade. She let out a scream and fell to the ground, covering her shoulder.

Gu Qinghe was startled and looked over there quickly. He was relieved when he saw that it was the man in black from yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, he drew his bow and aimed at the middle-aged woman's heart with an expressionless face. Gu Qinghe hurriedly shouted, "Don't kill her, she is still useful!"

Xie Fuyi kept moving.

In desperation, Gu Qinghe returned to his original voice and revealed his identity: "Brother in black, it's me. Keep her for half an hour, don't kill her yet."

Xie Fuyi said coldly: "I rescued the person."

He came here specifically to kill this human trafficker.

When he arrived at Daohua Village yesterday, he put the sword on the neck of the short and skinny man. The man was so scared that he pissed himself and confessed everything immediately.

Selling two daughters for five taels of silver, he really didn't treat girls as human beings. Xie Fuyi was furious. He learned that the money brokerage was tacitly approved by the Nanning Town government. He immediately sent a pigeon to summon all his men to come and prepare to fight against this corrupt government. Before he could take action, the brokerage was surrounded by soldiers.

He waved his hand and asked his men to take away the two girls who had fainted from bleeding due to whipping in the woodshed. He then sneaked into the matchmaker's residence and discovered the dark transactions between officials and civilians in the account book hidden under the bed. He couldn't help but turned back with his bow.

Xunqing Pavilion has never been involved in court affairs, but that does not mean it is afraid of the court.

Xie Fuyi threw the account book he saw from the top of the wall, shot an arrow through the matchmaker's chest and turned away. He still had someone to kill and had no time to get entangled with the soldiers.

Just as his figure disappeared, a group of soldiers holding knives and solemn expressions entered the backyard. The leader was a teenager wearing ink-colored clothes.

Gu Qinghe handed him the account book he had picked up and said, "Someone just killed this middle-aged woman, left this thing behind and left."

Wei Wu looked at her several times and felt that she looked familiar. He waved his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to take the body away. He said, "Sir, please come back to the government office with me."

The death of this sinful matchmaker is not something that can be solved by simply taking out an account book. The person in front of us is highly suspected of murdering someone and hiding the evidence.

Gu Qinghe knew that this matter was not that simple. She nodded, picked up the bones on the ground, and followed them to the front yard.

The front yard was crowded with people, more than a dozen young men than before. Several strong men were subdued and forced to kneel on the ground. Except for the girl Gu Qinghe had seen who was dressed better, the others were all in rags and looked thin and pitiful.

Next to the little beggar stood two children with dry yellow hair, a boy and a girl. The girl was the little girl who had blushed and agreed to Gu Qinghe's nonsense half a quarter of an hour ago.

Wei Wu asked a team of soldiers to stay behind to continue searching for the pawnbroker, while he took the other two pairs of soldiers and escorted the pawnbrokers back to the government office.

……

County government.

Yu Jin looked at the account book that Gu Qinghe handed over, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. He had not expected that the private transactions in the seemingly peaceful Nanning Town would be so dirty.

Wei Wu, who had been out for a long time yesterday, suddenly came back at night and knocked on his bedroom door, asking him to take the token from the palace to mobilize nearby officers and soldiers tomorrow.

He was startled, thinking that something big had happened, and he had actually skipped the constables of the government office and called in the officers and soldiers, and asked him what had happened. Wei Wu just said that the person was still investigating, and asked him to prepare these things first and just wait for instructions tomorrow.
