Since I met you, people are dying every day

They hugged hard for a while, and then slowly calmed down.

Ye Sirui managed to hold back his tears, and let go of his hands a little. Seeing Zhou Yi's red eyes, he expected that he was also in such a mess, and finally laughed. "Wash your face first, go down and have a good rest, and then think about what to do. You can always find a way."

Zhou Yi also nodded, and let him go.

Ye Sirui called the tea in the opposite room to fetch hot water for the two of them to wash their faces, and went down to order a table of good dishes in advance.They didn't go downstairs to eat until they recovered, washed their faces and regained their energy.

The boss of Zhuangyuan Building still recognizes them, and when he heard Chaming come to order, he stopped all the orders that were not in a hurry, rushed their dishes first, and did not serve them when they were ready, and put them on the stove to warm them. Once you are seated, they will be delivered to you in the same way.

It took a lot of effort to enter the palace, and he picked up a hot potato. Ye Sirui was already hungry. When he saw the hot food, he didn't care so much. He picked up the chopsticks and wanted to eat a full meal, but someone refused He is happy.

"Master Ye." Ye Sirui was puzzled when he heard this call.This voice is not familiar, and no one here knows him.He put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a towel, and turned around to look.

It's Xie Qing, the son of Suzhou.Ye Sirui was amazed by the article he made, but when it comes to virtue, he is not as good as the dead Wan Chengtiao.He is from Suzhou, he thought it was too far to go home, and stayed in Beijing for the New Year, preparing for the exam.

Ye Sirui's heart turned a thousand times, and Xie Qing's expression was very tangled. "Master Ye." He lowered his voice and called again, cupped his hands and said, "Student Xie, Mr. Ye, tracked down the cheating and rectified the names of students and other candidates in the same ranking."

His voice is not loud, and the people who are eating around can't hear him.Ye Sirui was also a little surprised when he saw him cup his hands in thanks.The last time we met, Xie Qing had frequent conflicts with Ma Lu and Cha Ming, and he refused to salute him, and even scolded him face-to-face for making money by slavery, but now he would thank him, which shows that he has improved.

Progress is progress, Ye Sirui is in a hurry to eat, and has no intention of reminiscing with him. "This is the job of this official. You concentrate on preparing for the exam. In the future, you will try for the title of the gold list in the imperial examination. When you enter the official career, don't forget to share the worries of the people."

Xie Qing thanked him for his kind words before walking to his table.

Ye Sirui stared at his back for a few times, but couldn't see what was going on, so he concentrated on eating.

After eating a delicious meal, and returning to the room, Ye Sirui stretched a few times to relax his body regardless of his appearance, and lay flat on the bed, finally regaining his vitality. "We don't need to be too nervous. We can investigate this case as we like, but the end result is that nothing can be found, or some useless things can be found." Anyway, he didn't want to be Lao Shizi's procurator, he As long as Zhou Yi and Kuang'er are doing well, and they have something to do so that they don't starve to death, that's all.

Zhou Yi sat on the side of the bed, playing with Ye Sirui's hair that spread all over the bed, twisting the black strands around his fingertips, "But he asked you to investigate this case, really just to make you meritorious service, so that he can promote you?"

"Are you still worried...?" Ye Sirui was about to sit up, when Zhou Yi gently held his wrist and told him to lie down obediently. "I'm not worried about myself, but maybe he is trying to test you? To test whether you will find out that it is me, and whether you will... favor me. "

Ye Sirui felt itchy on his wrist, Zhou Yi didn't hear what he said, looked up to see what was going on, it turned out that Zhou Yi had wrapped his hair around his wrist.Ye Sirui was angry and funny, "Untie it quickly, what are you doing?"

It was rare for Zhou Yi to show such a childish side, and he refused to untie it. Instead, he tied it carefully and stroked his hair. "Your wrists are so white."

"Do you still want to say 'Snow and frost on the wrist'?" Ye Sirui glared at him.

"I don't know this sentence, but who made it? It's really apt." Zhou Yi was fascinated, holding his wrist through a layer of hair.Ye Sirui sat up slowly, Zhou Yi shifted his eyes to his face, and whispered softly: "Your face is also white." The two of them got closer and closer, and the topic just now had been thrown out of the blue.

"Zhou Yi." During the kiss, Ye Sirui murmured his name.Zhou Yi held his wrist with one hand, inserted his other hand into his hair, paused, let go of him slightly, and moved his face a little away. "Zi Qi."

Their eyes were intertwined, and they only paused for a moment before becoming entangled again.

After making love, Ye Sirui lay on the couch, panting slightly.Zhou Yi untied the hair on his wrist, carefully, for fear of hurting him.Ye Sirui admired his serious profile, "What did you ask me just now?"

"I said, he probably already knew it was me, and wanted to test whether you would hand me me over." This time Zhou Yi spoke calmly, with steady hands, and pulled out his hair completely.

Ye Sirui was deep in thought. "It's not impossible." He sat up and said nonchalantly: "It's a temptation, I shouldn't, so what can he do?" He gathered his clothes, walked to the table and combed his hair, "If that's the case, he Since you are not punished now, it means that there is still room for maneuver in the matter, and you don't want to get along and let others punish you."

It turned out that he was still told not to throw himself into the trap after going around.A slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Yi's mouth, and he stepped forward to tie his hair. "I promise you."

Ye Sirui combed it twice, then felt that it was not convenient, so he simply put down the comb and asked Chaming to come in to help him take care of it.Zhou Yi let go of his hair and asked again: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Eunuch Feng breathed out with me before he left, and said that someone will come to me later to help me." Cha Ming quickly helped Ye Sirui roll up her hair and put on her turban.

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door.Ye Sirui stood up, "Isn't this coming?"

Outside the door was a young eunuch, who didn't look very old, at most 15 years old, dressed in an eunuch color, with a tender face, and a pair of watery eyes, dark and big.His voice was clear and crisp, "Your Excellency is Lord Ye Sirui?"

Ye Sirui replied: "Exactly."

The little eunuch saluted, "The young one is Yuan De under Eunuch Feng, and Eunuch Feng asked the young one to serve Lord Ye."

Ye Sirui said: "I'm waiting for you. Do you know where there is the autopsy report after the death of King Xiang?" Said: "Go back to Master Ye, after King Xiang passed away, according to the rules, the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital will come to verify it. After confirming that it is correct, the maid will cleanse and change his clothes, and put him in the coffin. There is no autopsy report."

This is true.Ye Sirui pondered for a moment, and Yuan De went on to say: "At that time, the imperial hospital judged the corpse that came to be examined. The court judged that the Lord had passed away last year, but his handwriting after the examination of the corpse is still in the imperial hospital." He took out a bag from his arms. A piece of paper, solemnly presented.

This was an unexpected joy. Ye Sirui was disappointed when he took the paper and looked at it. The handwriting of the court judgment was as usual, but the content was very simple: the king of Xiang was dead, and the wound was caused by a dagger. Not a word about shape.

Ye Sirui returned the paper to Yuan De, "What else did Eunuch Feng tell you?"

Yuan De presented an ivory token to Ye Sirui with both hands, "Eunuch Feng said that if Mr. Ye wants to go to any yamen to check files, or go to any yamen to ask for someone, just take this token." Ye Sirui took the token , Yuan De said again: "I can't think of other small ones for the time being. What else can Mr. Ye order?"

"It's gone for now, so I'll force you to live with my servant first." Ye Sirui gave Chaming a look, and Chaming stepped forward, "Elder-in-law, I will show you the way."

"It's troublesome." The two of them were about to go out when Ye Sirui suddenly remembered something, "Did the imperial doctor bring students with him when he checked the corpse?"

The adults of the Tai Hospital often bring the boys and students who serve the medicine with them when they go out to see a doctor. The students are all servants in the Tai Hospital. They attend classes on weekdays, or recognize some medicinal materials, and occasionally they are brought in front of the nobles when they are supported by the master. .These students have been in Tai Hospital for more than ten years, and they will gradually become a new batch of imperial doctors.So, if the hospital back then had brought students there, maybe that person is still in the hospital now.

Yuan De understood his meaning as soon as he heard it, "I'll go back and ask Mr. Ye clearly." He saluted again and said goodbye, then hurried downstairs.Ye Sirui glanced at Cha Ming who was stunned, "You should go back too."

Cha Ming withdrew and closed the door.Zhou Yi said suddenly: "If you want to know how King Xiang died, I can tell you."

Ye Sirui sat on the square stool, picked up the teapot, and poured water into two cups. "you say."

"The dagger hit the throat and killed him with one blow." Zhou Yi said unequivocally, "Here, this is the dagger." He threw the dagger on the table before entering the palace in front of Ye Sirui.Ye Sirui borrowed it steadily, and pulled the dagger out of the sheath. The blade was sharp and bloody, and it could be seen from the smooth and round handle that it was indeed quite old.

"How did you bring a sharp weapon into the palace?" Ye Sirui couldn't help but asked each other, he put the dagger back and threw it to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi easily caught the dagger, Ye Sirui's eyes blurred, and he didn't know where he received it.Zhou Yi sat casually on the square stool, leaning against the table, stretched out his hand and snatched a cup from Ye Sirui's hand, poured it down quickly, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of him.Ye Sirui stared blankly at his Adam's apple up and down.

"I explored the way in advance to find out where King Xiang was being held, when the guards would change, and where the weakest places were. I was lucky. On the day I picked, the palace where King Xiang was held was not crowded. With ability, it is not difficult to get in and out of the palace." Zhou Yi crossed his legs, looked cynical, but there was a sense of arrogance in his words that cannot be ignored.

"Guards... change defense..." Ye Sirui also finished drinking the water in his glass. "That makes sense, then let's go and check the guards in the palace on the day King Xiang was assassinated."
