Mountain People

As soon as he said it, Zhang Xingchi ran quickly to the mansion where Dong Chenghu lived, and Yu Yi led some people to continue guarding the old house of Zhang family. As soon as Zhang Xingchi left, Yu Yicai sighed deeply. After a sigh of relief, he didn't know how Zhang Xingchi felt when he decided to set fire to Zhang's old house, but he knew that this decision must not be easy for Zhang Xingchi, his heart should be bleeding at this time! The only place where he can still remember is gone. Should we say that this child is cruel, or should we say that this child is courageous?

Yu Yi is not clear, but he knows that Zhang Xingchi is definitely not in the pool, and his master is optimistic about him, I am afraid that Zhang Xingchi's future achievements will not be ordinary, thinking like this, Yu pair Zhang Xingchi became more cautious.

When Zhang Xingchi returned to Dong Chenghu's house and told the story again, Dong Chenghu immediately ordered a search of Linhai County, and even Zhu Mansion was not spared.

At this moment, Zhu Jinyan was bringing supplements to visit Dong Chenghu. When he saw Dong Chenghu giving orders, he immediately stopped in place with some embarrassment, neither entering nor retreating.

When Dong Chenghu saw him, a wicked smile twitched at the corner of his mouth. Before Zhu Jinyan could speak, he greeted him first: "Zhu Zhifu is here, I don't know why?"

The corner of Zhu Jinyan's mouth twitched. He came here with so many gifts, and everyone with discernment knew what he was doing. Dong Chenghu pretended to be stupid with him, and he had to cooperate.

"This officer heard that Young Master Cheng was frightened on the street today. I'm not worried. Come and have a look! Fortunately, Young Master is safe, otherwise this officer would not be able to explain to the general." A look of fear, the expression is really like that.

Since he wants to act, Dong Chenghu will accompany him to the end, and immediately said gratefully: "Thank you Zhu Zhifu for your concern, this time it is indeed our father and daughter's good fortune, but this kind of thing is impossible It's a second time, don't you think?"

In the middle of Dong Chenghu's arms, Dong Chenghu laughed, and said with great vigour: "Since Zhu Zhifu also agrees with my idea, then it will be easy. It means that every family will not let it go, including my mansion, and of course… yours.”

Zhu Jinyan nodded in agreement, then froze for a moment. After reacting, he widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, "Young Master Cheng, is this suspicious of this official?"

"How could it be!" Dong Chenghu quickly explained in a good voice: "Those assassins have many hidden methods, and we are also worried that they are cunning and use your mansion as a protective umbrella, so we have to treat your Including the mansion, even my mansion is also within the scope of the search, how about Zhu Zhifu sitting down with me and waiting for the result?"

Zhu Jinyan was told by Dong Chenghu that it was difficult to ride a tiger, his face was pale and unable to say a word for a long time, and finally he snorted, and really sat down.

If he doesn't wait for news here, if he really finds someone from his house later, he really can't tell! Zhu Jinyan scolded Dong Chenghu for being cunning, but he began to beat drums in his heart. He didn't know whether assassins would be mixed in in his house. After all, he hadn't asked about the house for a long time. I don't know, he really didn't know anyone except the steward who followed him and served him.

Just when Zhu Jinyan was restless, Zhang Xingchi, who went to every house to search, had already arrested several suspects, and none of them were sent to the government office for interrogation.

Although the prefecture of Linhai County is very large, not many strangers came in on this day, and they only caught those relatives and friends who came to visit temporarily and had no proof from other people. In this way, The range has been reduced a lot.

After night fell, Zhang Xingchi and Yu Yi came back one after another.

Before Dong Chenghu spoke, Zhu Jinyan couldn't help but ask first, "How? But have you caught someone?"

Zhang Xingchi glanced at Zhu Jinyan, not knowing whether to answer him or report to Dong Chenghu.

"Today we checked the major inns and shops in Fucheng, as well as every household, and arrested more than 70 people in total. Some of these people are assassin suspects, and some are suspects. 's companion, because we are not sure, we need to review it before we know.

Among them, four people were arrested from the prefect's mansion, two came to join relatives today, and the other two were servants in the prefect's mansion, because no one could prove these two people Their identities, but they testify against each other, is really suspicious. These four people are the targets of our interrogation.

In addition, we also arrested three people in our house, one was an outsider who came to look for his relatives, and the other two were servants in the house. If it hadn’t been interrogated today, we wouldn’t have known these two people. There will be suspicions, so these three people can't let it go.

In addition, there are more than a dozen travelers who just arrived at the inn this afternoon, because the city gate was closed before noon, these people are still going to stay after noon, shall we? All caught.

The rest of the people are in a similar situation, and everything will be clear after the interrogation. "

Zhu Jinyan stood up in surprise, his face flushed with anger, and he retorted loudly with his neck stuck: "You are slandering! Most of the servants in my house were brought from Dongyang County. The old people here are all the old people who have served me for more than ten years, how could it be them!"

Dong Chenghu looked at Zhang Xingchi like he did, see what he said, Dong Chenghu can't speak for Zhang Xingchi at this time, Zhu Jinyan didn't have to think that all this was instructed by him, it would be no fun!

Zhang Xingchi did not panic because of Zhu Jinyan's anger. Instead, he explained calmly: "Master Prefect, don't be impatient. The kid said that he arrested four people in your house, but he didn't say who these four were. Presumably, the prefect has a big business now, and he is very concerned about the situation in your family. I don't know much either.

The two people we arrested this time, one is the rough servant girl in Madam Zun's yard, and the other is the servant girl who is also in charge of flowers and trees. Does the prefect remember these two people? "

Zhu Jinyan calmed down a little after hearing this, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "How could this officer know the maid in Madam's courtyard? , that the little servant in charge of flowers and plants also changed not long after, how could this official know them, it's absurd!"

"Yes, yes... the adults said it very well!" Zhang Xingchi still smiled gently: "It is because of this that the boy said that this matter has nothing to do with adults, only But we still have to try the first trial to find out."
