Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

The one-eyed man was holding a knife and standing on the steps like a door god.

But the blood has soaked into his clothes...

Fang Ke waited for a long time and then waved his hand gently. A strongman immediately stepped forward and carefully checked the one-eyed man's breath and pulse.

"The general flag has expired!"

Lux replied.

Fang Ke glanced at Yang Ge and waved his hand: "Continue the search and never let a bad person go. You two, go in and take a look. Don't scare the people inside..."

"yes!"

The warriors took the order and continued to search the backyard.

Two strong men holding torches crossed the one-eyed man and gently opened the door behind him.

"call……"

Yang Ge let out a heavy breath and forced a smile: "Are these people always so cruel?"

The dead people he saw today.

More than he had ever seen in his life.

Fang Ke replied: "This kind of person is like this. He is cruel to others and he is also cruel to himself. He doesn't blink when he wields a knife to others, and he doesn't blink when he wields a knife to himself!"

Yang Ge couldn't tell what he felt, and he didn't know what to say.

At the right time, a warrior who entered the room to investigate quickly came back, clasped his fists and reported: "General Flag, there is a girl inside, she just woke up..."

Yang Ge walked quickly into the house. When he passed the one-eyed man's body, he turned his head and said, "Separate this man's body from other villains later!"

Fang Ke responded.

Yang Ge stepped into this low and old house.

Suddenly, a strong musty smell hit my face.

Yang Ge frowned subconsciously, and then looked at the room with some surprise.

He knew that the smell was caused by the damp and moldy wooden beams and furniture, coupled with poor ventilation, which caused the smell to be stifling.

The house in the small shabby courtyard also had this smell at first, but the musty smell in this house was actually more pungent than that in the small shabby courtyard.

He looked carefully and saw that the furnishings in the room were very simple, with a large shop on one side, a few old washbasin stands on the other, and a few drowning buckets thrown in the corner.

Yang Ge immediately understood that this should be the bedroom where the servants of the county government lived.

To be precise, it should be the bedroom where the lowest servants in the county live.

Luting County is not a big one. He has stayed here for a year, so he has naturally met the servants of the county government...those people are not paid to eat at the Yuelai Inn!

The warriors waiting in the room, holding a torch in one hand and a saber in the other, stood at the innermost corner of Datongpu. The jumping firelight illuminated the thin blanket balled up in the corner of Datongpu, shaking like a sieve of chaff.

Seeing this, Yang Ge casually handed the saber to Fang Ke behind him, slowed down and walked over slowly.

When Lux saw him coming, he bowed and reported: "General Banner, this girl said she was knocked unconscious by the man outside the door, and she doesn't know anything about it."

Yang Ge looked at the trembling blanket, lowered his tone and said softly: "Girl, we are officials, not gangsters. Something happened to the county magistrate's house. We are here to investigate the case. Don't be afraid. Come out to me." Let me ask you a few words!"

Maybe it was his status as a member of the official family that played a role, because the blanket was no longer shaking so much.

A little head with yellow hair shrank half out of the blanket, revealing a pair of bright little eyes, looking around in horror at everyone in the room.

As soon as she woke up, she saw two tough men standing next to her with sharp swords in their hands. She was frightened!

Yang Ge turned sideways and pointed at the embroidered clothes on his body by the firelight: "Did you see it? Official clothes."

The little eyes did not look at his clothes, but stared at his eyes for several breaths, then hurriedly stood up, knelt on the bed and kowtowed to Yang Ge: "My maid has seen you, sir!"

This is a girl who is not very good-looking, thin and dark, and seems to be a little lame.

Yang Ge stepped forward to help her up, thought for a while and asked: "There is an old man who is blind in one eye in your house. Do you recognize him?"

The little girl nodded timidly: "Return to your lord, my maid recognizes him. He is the new groom in the house. We call him Uncle Wang."

Yang Ge was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "New here? How long have you been here?"

The little girl replied: "Sir, they came two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the day they entered the house, the eldest master rewarded us with some food."

"them?"

Yang Ge grasped the key point: "How many people are there? Are they all here together?"

The little girl tried hard to think back for a moment, and her face turned red with anxiety: "Sir, I don't know, and I have only seen them two or three times."

"Don't worry, if you don't know, just don't know!"

Yang Ge softly comforted the little girl who was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Your house has suffered a disaster. You may not be able to stay here anymore. You wait here first. Our people will take you later." Go elsewhere, I still need your help with some things later."

The little girl looked frightened and didn't dare to ask.

Yang Ge turned around and walked out. After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and asked, "Girl, are you familiar with that groom, Uncle Wang?"

The little girl shook her head like a rattle like a conditioned reflex: "Not familiar, not familiar..."

Only then did Yang Ge realize that his way of questioning might have frightened the girl, so he quickly changed his approach: "Don't be afraid, he is not a bad person, he was protecting you just now... Think about it again, you two are familiar with each other." ?"

The little girl calmed down a little and answered cautiously: "Hey, Sir, Uncle Wang has just entered the house and doesn't know the way around the house. The horse pen is far away from the kitchen house. Well, he hasn't had any food for several times. The servant girl was close to the aunt who was serving food, so she hid two steamed buns for him..."

Yang Ge was stunned and repeated: "Just two steamed buns?"

The little girl didn't know why, so she nodded blankly: "Yeah, just two steamed buns."

Yang Ge wanted to laugh, but he didn't know what was so funny.

He waved his hand: "Just rest quietly, our people will come to take you to other places later!"

After saying that, he strode out.

Stepping out of the door, the one-eyed man's corpse, like a door god, was still standing on the steps, blocking the door and the bloody wind outside.

Yang Ge passed by him and couldn't help but glance at him, murmuring softly in his heart: 'Is it worth it? ’

Two steamed buns.

Two lives.

He won't settle this account...

"Fang Ke."

he called softly.

Fang Ke stepped forward in response: "My subordinate is here."

Yang Ge: "Send a group of capable people to protect the girl inside. She is the only witness. There must be no mistakes!"

Having said this, he remembered something again and said, "Send someone to the surrounding residents to verify the identity of this girl."

Fang Ke responded with clasped fists, and finally asked in a low voice: "Sir, are the three people who escaped still being investigated?"

Yang Ge: "Maintain the stability of the city first, and wait until daybreak to discuss the rest!"
