You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

The courtyard door was closed behind the two officials. The older official frowned and said to the younger official: "Do you believe what that little woman says?"

The young official looked at the older official's expression and said, "Fifth Master, I asked for information before.

They came to the capital years ago.

The owner of the inn said that when they moved in, they said it was not convenient to stay at a friend's house.

They just come to the inn to rent the courtyard, and they will go home after the New Year. "

The senior official walked forward in silence. The four libertines were not unjust at all when they received such a lesson.

After Master Qijun heard the footsteps outside, he turned to Wanyu and said, "We will leave the capital after the New Year."

"Master, can I see Xia Yu tomorrow?"

Master Qi Jun shook his head and said: "Right now, it is better to do less than to do more. You should practice more when you have free time."

Wanyu pursed her lips, but when she saw that there was no smile on Qi Jun's face, she could only turn around and enter the room.

The next day, Shi Zelan heard Xiao Yingzi say to her very secretly: "Xiao Lanzi, my mother-in-law asked me to tell you not to go out of our street recently. It is best to just walk nearby."

"Xiao Yingzi, did aunt say what happened?"

"My grandma seems to have said that there are bad people in the city and they have harmed many people.

Officials are checking the population of every household, and they may soon be on our streets. "

Shi Zelan was very surprised and said: "Did this happen yesterday afternoon?
Yesterday, we went to a teahouse to hear Mr. Shu telling stories. At that time, no one told us that such horrific things had happened in the capital. "

"You and Xiaoliuzi went to the teahouse yesterday to listen to a storyteller. What story was that told?"

"It's about the Cuju competition. The storyteller is very good at telling stories. That story made my blood boil.

I heard from the guests in the teahouse that Mr. Storyteller bought a seat ticket and went in to watch it for several days. "

"Ah, it's a pity. My mother-in-law will definitely not allow my brother to take me out these days."

Shi Zelan turned around and went in to talk to Master Decheng and Master Shan Zheng about this matter. Master Decheng and Master Shan Zheng looked at each other, and then said to Shi Zelan: "You and Xiao Liu should not go out of the courtyard for the next few days."

Shi Zelan nodded: "Okay.

Master, Master, if you go to the teahouse to listen to books, can you tell me later where the story is now? "

Master Decheng couldn't help but laugh: "We heard from people that after the new year, the storyteller in the teahouse will also talk about the help of the Cuju competition. You can go to the teahouse after the new year to listen to the stories."

At noon, the village chief accompanied the three officials to the street. Shi Xiaoliu opened the courtyard door at that time. When he saw the people coming, he went forward and said, "Mr. Li Chief, three officials, happy New Year."

The head of the village smiled at him and nodded, and said to the three officials: "They have lived here for several months and get along well with the neighbors."

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng came out of the room at this time and met with the head of the village and three officials. They also asked Shi Xiaoliu to go to the backyard to invite Brother Qiyuan and Xia Yu to the front yard to meet people.

Shi Zelan came out of the room and was a little surprised to see the chief and the three officials, but he still saluted the chief and the three officials generously and decently.

When Brother Qi Yuan and Xia Yu came over, the head of the village said to the three officials: "They are the people who rent this courtyard, and there are many of them present."

The three officials looked at Shi Zelan very seriously and asked: "My dear lady, on the day of the Cuju final, did you go out of the city to watch the game?"

Shi Zelan shook his head affirmatively: "I didn't go to the game."

"Then did you go out and walk around the streets that day?"

"I didn't go out."

"Except for your family, who can testify for you?" "Everyone who passed by our yard on this street that day can testify for me. My brother and I were sitting in the front yard writing."

The three officials nodded to the chief, and then the four of them walked out.

After the chief came out of the door, he whispered to the three officials: "Is it a young girl who committed the crime this time?
The little girl in this family doesn't look like a troublesome person. "

The three officials glanced at the chief: "Don't worry, let's check the people on your street first."

In the yard, Master Decheng looked at Shi Zelan with a confused expression and said with a smile, "Okay, Sister Lan, don't think too much about it."

"Uncle, why do I feel that the officials are very concerned about my schedule that day?"

"The officials won't just pay attention to your schedule for that day. They will probably pay attention to the schedules of all young women like you."

Shi Zelan was particularly curious: "It has something to do with a young woman like me. This young woman is so courageous.

I'm a little curious about what earth-shattering thing she has done. "

"Hey, don't be too curious. Have you finished your work today?"

Master Shanzheng reminded Shi Zelan, and she quickly said: "I'm going back to my room now. If the officials come back and have anything to ask me, I'll come out and talk."

"You are the one who stays in the courtyard and never goes out of the courtyard.

The officials won't spend time on you, so go get busy. "

Master Decheng smiled and let Shi Zelan enter the room with peace of mind, while Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu entered the kitchen.

The elders were sitting under the eaves chatting. In the kitchen, Shi Xiaoliu curiously asked Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, do you know what happened?"

Xia Yu sighed: "After some time, you will know what happened."

After listening to Xia Yu's words, Shi Xiaoliu thought about Wanyu's temperament, then he looked unhappy and called Xia Yu: "I remember, Wanyu is about the same age as Sister Lan.

What big thing did Wanyu do that day? "

Xia Yu looked at Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, don't you want to know what she did?"

"She killed someone?"

Xia Yu quickly shook her head: "No."

Shi Xiaoliu felt much relieved and said: "As long as she doesn't harm anyone's life, this matter should be over soon."

Xia Yu lowered her eyebrows and said nothing. Shi Xiaoliu originally wanted to share the formation with him.

Just seeing that he was not in a good mood right now, Shi Xiaoliu also fell silent.

Master Qiyuan listened to the commotion outside and sighed: "I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

"It's okay to be in the capital. It's almost the day when scholars have to go to the capital to take exams. This matter won't cause trouble for long."

None of them were worried that the government would catch the real perpetrator. In the past two or three years, those four libertines had killed several little girls.

It's just that the four of them have status and usually pay to smooth things over.

After the mayor accompanied the three officials to check the entire street, he sent the three officials to the intersection and asked curiously: "You are so strict about the situation of the little girls. What happened?"

The senior official looked at him and said, "Don't ask, it has nothing to do with you anyway." (End of Chapter)
