Help!Master Chief Assistant's Jiaojiao is a black widow

Chapter 35 Emergency Letters

Hua Rujin lying on the bed with half-closed eyes, clearly heard the sound of the door being pushed open, followed by footsteps.

"Young madam drank morning dew?"

"Drink it, drink it, the old man watched the young lady drink the dew with his own eyes."

Hua Rujin heard the conversation between the old woman and the old housekeeper at the door, and then closed her narrowed phoenix eyes even tighter.

"I'm afraid that some people don't want the young lady to be buried safely and smoothly tonight. Listen, everyone will follow me to Huangligang."

The old butler went to the couch to check the sleeping Hua Rujin, and seeing that there was no abnormality, he led everyone out of the room.

In the deep night, the urgent letter from the eight hundred miles away from the capital directly arrived at the Yamen of Jingzhou Prefecture.

The prefect Wen Yuming was in a deep sleep, when he suddenly heard a noise, and learned that an urgent official document had arrived, he opened it in fear and trepidation, only to see the word "judgment" on the letter stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Officials, and he was frightened He was sweating profusely on his forehead, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while. While dressing in a hurry, he told the gentleman: "Prepare the sedan chair. No, prepare the horse. Go to the Jiangling City County Office immediately."

At that time, the county government office in Jiangling City was brightly lit.

It's long past the time to go to work, but officials at all levels, down to the gatekeepers, have all been detained in the Yamen, working overtime for no reason.

The county magistrate, chief secretary, Dian Shi and several minor officials waited in the lobby, complaining and waiting for a long time before seeing that the new county magistrate arrived late.

Ye Chengwei was wearing a dark black gown today, walked to the hall calmly and sat down slowly.

Looking at a pair of eyes full of confusion, Ye Chengwei said solemnly:

"The county has recently found some clues about the girl who has been missing for these years. It was done by a flower picker. This person's agility should not be underestimated. According to reliable news, he will appear on Huangligang in the south of the city tonight. There is no curfew in the Qixi City tonight. It is inevitable that this thief will break into the city and cause chaos, Lu Dianshi, you should immediately take all the officials of the county government to catch the murderer."

Before Lu Xiuyuan could answer, Tang Haoran, the magistrate of the county, first questioned: "Huangligang is the ancestral grave of the Dou family. I heard that today is the auspicious day for the young wife of the Dou family to die. Wouldn't the county magistrate rush there to disturb the souls of the dead? Falsely accusing the government of intentionally disturbing the people and disrupting villagers' weddings and funerals is probably not good."

Knowing that Ye Chengwei had arrived in the yamen, Liu Cheng hurried over while wiping sweat in a hurry while echoing: "That's true, Ye Zhixian, since the case of the Dou family has been closed, and the woman of the Hua family has voluntarily died, my lord should Let go of your obsessions, and stop making things difficult for the Dou family."

"You two are wrong."

Ye Chengwei said in a cold voice: "Precisely because today is the auspicious day for the young wife of the Dou family to die, the government should escort her. If someone robs the bride, wouldn't the members of the Dou family have another joy?"

"I think Ye Zhixian has ulterior motives?"

Liu Cheng stared dissatisfiedly: "This Jiangling City not only has a county government office, but also a magistrate's government office not far away."

"This county knows the geography and humanities of Jiangling City, and has a deeper understanding of the locations of government offices at all levels. There is no need for Master Liu to remind."

Ye Chengwei looked at him with eyes full of viciousness: "This county would like to ask Mr. Liu, the Ministry of Officials' approval for the promotion of the mansion has reached this county for many days, why is Mr. Liu hovering here, and what is the picture?"

"I"

Liu Cheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

On the contrary, Tang Haoran calmed down and quickly interjected: "Master, the Dou family's matter is raging, if it doesn't calm down sooner, there may be another side issue. It's hard for the magistrate to explain."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard an old voice coming in from outside the hall: "What should I explain to the government, Jiangling City has been flooded with missing people these years, finding out the truth and explaining to the people is the best explanation for the government. "

Everyone heard the reputation and looked around, only to see Wen Yumin, the magistrate with a big belly, hurried in with two servants.

"The lower official has met the magistrate."

Everyone panicked and hurriedly bowed their heads in worship.

However, Wen Yuming's figure went straight to Ye Chengwei in the hall, and he cupped his hands enthusiastically and said: "Oh, Ye Zhixian, brother Ye, my government has just returned from inspecting the nearby counties and scattered states, and I heard that Ye Zhixian has just arrived. The government is very pleased to investigate the backlog of mysteries in Jiangling City, so I came here to show my appreciation."

"The duty of the next official, the magistrate, is bothering you."

Ye Chengwei didn't know why this person came, and after bowing his hands neither humble nor overbearing, he looked at Lu Xiuyuan again, and urged in a cold voice: "Lu Dianshi, hurry up."

Just as Lu Xiuyuan was about to move, Liu Cheng, Tang Haoran and the others looked at him together.

"Master Zhifu, tonight"

Before Liu Cheng's words came out, Wen Yuming cast a stern gaze directly at her: "Master Liu, you shouldn't be staying in Jiangling City at this time."

"I will go back to the mansion immediately, and leave for Beijing immediately tomorrow."

With a look of sincerity and fear on Liu Cheng's face, she replied unwillingly, and had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan called the guards and rushed to Huangligang in the south of the city.

"You, you, you, all go, as a county official, you should share the worries of the Shangguan."

Wen Yuming pointed at Tang Haoran, chief secretary Dou Yiheng and others, and severely reprimanded them. Everyone followed Lu Xiuyuan out of the county office with a bitter face.

"Brother Ye, you have worked so hard these days, so go back and rest early tonight. Let them worry about the county government affairs. You don't have to do everything yourself. As the head of a county, you have to be tight-fitting. That's it. Only then can we better make decisions for the people of the county."

Wen Yuming showed a look of concern: "Besides, Lingtang lives alone at home, brother Ye has been studying abroad for many years, and now he has to be filial to the gold list besides being loyal to the imperial court."

"Thank you, Lord Prefect, for your sympathy, and I will resign as an official."

Ye Chengwei was full of confusion about the sudden change in the magistrate's attitude, but at this time he had no intention to investigate the matter carefully, but vaguely guessed some clues, after saying goodbye to Wen Yuming, he went to the stable to lead the horse, and then rode away towards the west of the city.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ting An did not send out a signal, which shows that Miss Hua's family has not yet left the mansion, but the funeral procession of Dou's family has already left the city. Where is Dou Yue planning to send people?

Thinking of this, he galloped all the way, stayed far away from the county government office, then suddenly turned south into a secluded alley, found a quiet place, hid his horse behind the courtyard wall of a house, took his sword and stepped on the eaves to go Walking closer to the familiar compound.

Finally, the figure lightly landed on a roof.

quiet night
Hua Rujin lay on the bed and listened to the movement around her, but the room was terribly silent, thinking of the white shadow that attacked her last night, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

While pondering, she was about to open her eyes to see the situation around her, when suddenly the earth began to shake violently around her.

After a short period of shaking, before she had time to react, she clearly felt that the whole person and the bed were falling rapidly.

"Is there an earthquake?"

She quickly opened her eyes and looked around with a look of astonishment, only to realize that she and the entire bed were falling into the abyss, and the rapid downward momentum caused her whole body to lose its center of gravity.

"Could it be that the person in the legend sleeps on the bed, and the pit comes from the ground?"

It's really hard to guard against.

Seeing that the cracked floor was about to close again, Hua Rujin gritted her teeth and kicked her legs straight upwards.

The moment his hands straightened, he saw a pair of slender, powerful hands with well-defined joints quickly grabbing up.
