Lord Hou, you have been flopped again

Chapter 627 Unexpected encounters
They are trying to kill people.

In order to cope with the investigation of the court, three people were killed last time, and five more will be killed this time.

In the eyes of this group of people, the lives of the common people are probably not as good as grass and trees.

"Leave it for now." Di Yan said, "Anyway, these people will not be able to escape if they are locked up here. I will deal with it after the prince has figured out how to return to Beijing and return to his life."

Ma Zhixian was stunned.

Isn't this the arrest of the lunatic who hurt people?How does the prince want to return to life?

Seeing that Ma Zhixian was in a daze, with a flash of uneasiness in his eyes, Di Yan smiled, with a calm expression, and said, "The last time the imperial envoy came here, you also said that there will be no more incidents. If the prince returns in the same way, in case If something like this happens again in your Che County, won't you lose face as well as the Crown Prince?"

"For the sake of caution, the prince will stay here for a while, observe and make a conclusion."

That's right.

Ma Zhixian felt relieved, and quickly responded with a smile, "His Royal Highness is thoughtful, and what he said is true. His Royal Highness has come from afar, and it is also a great honor for this county to live in this county. The next official will make arrangements now." , let His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Fourth Prince live here comfortably!"

Che County is not big, there are mountains and forests nearby, and there is no palace. For safety, Di Yan and his party live in the magistrate's mansion.

Once settled, Demo went to sleep in his room.Sleeping in the mountains these days, he really didn't sleep well.It was rare to have a high bed with soft pillows, so he naturally wanted to have a good night's sleep.

After a while, Wei Ying walked into Di Yan's room.

"His Royal Highness."

Di Yan asked, "What did you find?"

"As His Royal Highness expected," Wei Ying replied, "This magistrate's mansion looks ordinary, but it hides a lot of treasures. Just now, the minister has gone to check, and there is a woodshed on the westernmost side. It looks dilapidated, but There are special guards."

"Wei Chen quietly went up to the roof and found that the firewood house was full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and there were dozens of boxes, which were probably filled with gold and silver treasures."

Di Yan raised her eyebrows coldly.

The annual salary of a county magistrate is only so much, how can he afford to collect antiques.

This mazhi county is indeed a corrupt official who amasses money everywhere, and he is also the minion of the Jia family and Jia Ying, he is the same breed.

Di Yan nodded and asked again, "Is there any news from the government officials?"

Wei Ying stared, shook his head, and said, "No. The spies sent out are still looking. Some people said that the government official took his wife and children to visit relatives, but the spy replied that there was no trace of the government official and his family in his hometown. Together with There is no news about the person responsible for protecting them."

Di Yan couldn't help but clenched her palms tightly.

Is he late?Has the government official encountered an accident?
This Che county official was the one who risked his life to write a memorial and report it to the capital.

Worried that he would be discovered and his life would be in danger, and also worried that the memorial could not be sent to Che County, the government officials entrusted another reliable official with a memorial delivered from elsewhere.

The imperial envoy came to investigate the case, but he was deceived, and the tragedy in Che County was still happening.

The government official sent a second memorial.Also sent a secret letter to the capital.

The letter stated that the tragedies the government officials saw were not the work of those beheaded lunatics, and there must be something hidden in it.He also said that although the people he saw were indeed insane, they were not caused by eating by mistake, but were abused and persecuted to cause insanity.

The government officials implored the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly again.

In order not to startle the snake, Di Hong did not mention the content mentioned in the secret letter in the hall, but only handed it over to Di Yan.
