Since I met you, people are dying every day

The news from Jin Yiwei really came quickly.

In the morning, Ye Sirui and Zhou Yi were still having breakfast in Zhuangyuan Building, when Jin Yiwei in Feiyu suit came to the door.

Seeing Jin Yiwei coming, even if there is only one, is enough to make people shudder.Those common people and wealthy gentry who were chatting and eating wine didn't even bother to eat the food just served, and left in a hurry.Some still remember to drop the money, and some just run away.The shopkeeper who didn't give the money didn't care about chasing him, so he hid in the back room in a panic and asked the waiter to answer first.The residents of Zhuangyuan Building whispered, put down their dishes and went back to the room upstairs.The originally bustling crowd in the hall scattered like birds and beasts, and it became empty in an instant.Except for Ye Sirui and the others at the table, only those who acted were still trying to stay calm, muttering things like hawks, dogs and minions, but careful not to let him hear them, casting contemptuous and fearful glances at Jin Yiwei from time to time.

Both Ye Sirui and Zhou Yi sat in a stable position, not listening to the movements of picking up vegetables and chewing.That Jin Yiwei saw his target at a glance, and walked over in stride.

The waiter who was entrusted by the shopkeeper timidly leaned over and smiled flatteringly, but the constantly shaking muscles on his face ruined the smile, "Do you have any orders, Mr. Jun?"

"I'm not here to look for your shop, go get busy with your own work!" That Jin Yiwei had a good voice, and his voice was like a drum beating.The shop waiter seemed to have been pardoned, and ran to the back room to report to the shopkeeper.

The Jin Yiwei flicked the Xiuchun Knife and bowed to Ye Sirui, "The Jin Yiwei experienced Du Ruo and met Mr. Ye."

Jin Yiwei's experience is from the seventh rank, and he should pay the first salute when he sees the theory.But Ye Sirui is not stupid enough to hold on to such a trivial matter. "The matter entrusted to Mr. Cui Lian yesterday, I think there is a follow-up?"

Du Ruo said: "The lower officials are here for this purpose, Lord Ye please come with me!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up, pretending to be leaving, without the slightest intention to let Ye Sirui finish his meal.Ye Sirui could only sigh, and swallowed the last mouthful of buns.Fortunately, before he turned around, he saw Zhou Yi pick up a few steamed buns with a handkerchief, Guo Le.

If Du Ruo came on horseback, Ye Sirui had no choice but to ask the waiter to lead the horse. Du Ruo seemed a little impatient, holding the bridle with one hand and sticking the whip to the horse's belly, as if he was about to get on the horse at any time and gallop on the horse.Ye Sirui smiled and asked: "Does Du Jingzheng still have important tasks? If that's the case, give me the address, and I'll go."

His kind words still hit a snag. "Don't dare! This is Cui Zhenfu's order, and the next official must obey the order."

The waiter finally fed the horse and led it out.Du Ruo said, "My lord, follow closely!" He clamped his horse's belly and galloped away.Ye Sirui didn't expect that he would really abandon him, so he got on the horse quickly, held the rein tightly, and urged the horse forward.The same goes for Zhou Yi.Thanks to their riding skills, Du Ruo didn't really intend to throw them off, so he chased after Du Ruo before he got impatient.

Seeing the two people chasing up without changing their faces, Du Ruo's expression became better, and his riding speed gradually slowed down.Ye Sirui took the opportunity to approach him and asked, "Has Du Ching already met that Lu Jiangchen?"

Du Ruo accelerated and ran forward for a while, throwing off the tendency to drive forward with him. "He hasn't seen Jin Yiwei yet." He said firmly.

In this way, Jin Yiwei only made unannounced visits, and did not directly arrest people or visit them.It's no wonder that Jin Yiwei also needs to use post to arrest people, and no one wants to do it for no reason.

In the capital city in the early morning, there were not many vendors and pedestrians on the road. When they left the core city area, they picked up their speed again and rode forward.After running for another two sticks of incense, Du Ruo finally stopped his horse in front of a residential house. "It's here."

Ye Sirui and Zhou Yi dismounted, but Du Ruo didn't intend to follow them down, but said condescendingly: "Cui Zhenfu's order is that I bring your lord here. Now it has been completed, and I will leave." After finishing speaking, he lifted the reins Hugging with the hand holding the whip, he turned the horse's head and galloped non-stop.

If it wasn't for the trust in Cui Lian, Ye Sirui would have thought that Du Ruo had come to play tricks on him.

Zhou Yi tied up his horse and came to help Ye Sirui again.After running for so long, Ye Sirui can still tell the direction.The folk house is only two houses away, and there is a garden ten paces wide behind the house, where vegetables are grown, and the end can be seen at a glance.Even for a fourth-rank official who had committed a crime and resigned, the house was a bit too shabby.

"Eat something before going." Zhou Yi stuffed the steamed stuffed bun into Ye Sirui's hand.The steamed stuffed bun was still warm, but it was not as delicious as when it came out of the cage.Ye Sirui wanted to refuse at first, but turned his eyes around Zhou Yi's face, but continued to eat.

After eating, Ye Sirui and Zhou Yi went to the door.

Du Ruo was in a hurry, they came in a hurry, and they didn't prepare to ask for invitations at all. Ye Sirui knocked the door knocker, and a slightly hoarse male voice came from inside the room: "Who is it?"

Ye Sirui was supposed to be the servant of the gatekeeper, and he raised his voice and replied: "The procurator for punishment, Ye Sirui, will come to visit the former commander of the Habayashi avant-garde, Lu Jiangchen, Lord Lu."

The door didn't open, only a response: "Your Excellency went wrong, there is no Mr. Lu here."

Ye Sirui thought for a moment, and then shouted: "Lord Lu, if you don't like this title, Wansheng has the courage to call Mr. Lu. If Wansheng has something important to do, he will never disturb Mr. Lu's cleanliness. Please forgive Mr. Lu!" "

The footsteps that had just disappeared sounded again, the door opened, and a forty-year-old man wearing a short jacket, a net scarf on his head, leather shoes on his feet, and a long green cloth handkerchief on his hand looked at them suspiciously. "Which one was speaking just now?" he asked.

Ye Sirui took half a step forward to salute, but was avoided by Lu Jiangchen, "I'm just a commoner, and I can't bear the courtesy of adults." His tone was always full of irony, "Since Master Ye came here on something , the two of you, please."

From the gate, you can walk directly into the main hall within a few steps, and the layout of the main hall is also very simple.Lu Jiangchen asked the two to sit down, and he picked up the teapot and poured water for them, "The humble house is simple, and we can't afford servants. Since the two adults are here to visit, please don't worry about it."

Ye Sirui stood up to take his tea, and Zhou Yi imitated his movements.After pouring the tea, Lu Jiangchen walked to the side and sat down. "Can my lord explain your purpose now?"

Ye Sirui put the tea bowl back without even touching his lips. "Five years ago, you led Habayashi Qianwei to guard Zhongcui Palace, do you still have any memory?"

Lu Jiangchen didn't blink his eyes, "There are too many times, which one is Master Ye going to ask?"

"It was the day when the King of Xiang was assassinated." Ye Sirui paid close attention to his every move, but Lu Jiangchen seemed like an old monk in meditation, without the slightest look of surprise or fear, "Remember, I was leading people on duty that day, but I neglected my duty to report to the King of Xiang." Assassinated, His Majesty ordered me to go to the Commander of the Jingwei Commander to punish me and receive [-] lashes, and deducted half a year's salary. These should be found on the file of the Commander of the Jingwei Commander, Mr. Ye still thinks what do you know?"

Ye Sirui glanced at Zhou Yi subconsciously. Zhou Yi was sitting opposite Lu Jiangchen. Lu Jiangchen looked at him just now, but it was as if he was looking at a stranger.He really didn't recognize Zhou Yilai? "How did the assassin break into the Zhongcui Palace?"

"While I and the patrolling guards were unprepared, I slipped into the Zhongcui Palace."

"Then why wasn't he caught?"

"I'm not good at directing."

Ye Sirui glanced at Zhou Yi again, Zhou Yi didn't look around, and concentrated on drinking the bowl of tea that Ye Sirui thought was too crude.Zhou Yi doesn't know how to lie, so Lu Jiangchen can only lie.He unceremoniously pointed out what was wrong: "Mr. Lu is too underestimating me for saying that. You patrolled the Zhongcui Palace and brought a hundred and eighty guards to completely surround the Zhongcui Palace. Every three or five steps, one person , how did the assassin sneak in while he was unprepared? Even if he slipped in, the King of Xiang was assassinated, didn’t he call for help? How could he escape if a hundred and eighty people went up?” But if it was Zhou Yi, he might not be able to escape . "Such a big omission, do you think you can cover it up with a sentence of poor command?"

Lu Jiangchen finally couldn't maintain his composure without changing his face. For a moment, he cast a fierce look like a beast that could tear Ye Sirui into pieces, but in the blink of an eye, Lu Jiangchen was still sitting there so quietly, humble and humble, with his eyes lowered .But Ye Sirui knew that it was not his illusion just now.He has vaguely glimpsed the heroic appearance of this former lion.

"Is Lord Ye here to inquire about crimes?" Lu Jiangchen asked lightly.

"No, even if Mr. Lu is guilty, he has already been punished, and the guilt has been written off. I just want to know what happened back then, and point out the unreasonable things in Mr. Lu's statement."

But Lu Jiangchen stood up, still calmly said: "I already know what Lord Ye wants to ask, unfortunately, I can't answer your doubts, both adults, please go back."

He put on a posture to see off the guests, but Ye Sirui didn't want to leave.The more Lu Jiangchen kept his mouth shut, the more it meant that there must be something strange about what happened back then.Ye Sirui looked at Zhou Yi again, Zhou Yi didn't know what he was thinking, and looked down at the tea in the tea bowl.

"Mr. Lu..." What happened?Zhou Yi said that there were not many guards near the Zhongcui Palace, but according to the records of the Jingwei Commander, Lu Jiangchen's manpower was by no means small, so what happened?Why did Lu Jiangchen keep silent?

"Since Mr. Lu treats the two of us as guests, why did you put medicine in the tea?" Zhou Yi suddenly put down the tea bowl and asked calmly.

Lu Jiangchen's expression finally changed.

"Stop him!" Without Ye Sirui's orders, Zhou Yi rushed towards Lu Jiangchen with all his strength.Lu Jiangchen showed a vicious expression, and his big palms were powerful.Zhou Yi passed him, and saw a flash of silver light, and Lu Jiangchen fell to the ground.

"Since the master prescribed the medicine first, don't blame me for being immoral." Zhou Yi walked over slowly, pulled his own dagger from Lu Jiangchen's arm, and took out a white cloth from his body to bind him up.After Lu Jiangchen fell to the ground, his expression became dazed.

Ye Sirui also walked up to him and knelt down: "The brothers of Habayashi Qianwei under you back then are all dead. You left your official position and ran for so many years, didn't you just want to survive? Do you think that since I can find you, you will keep silent , is it still useful?"
