Chapter 194

They went separately, inquired about it in many ways, and finally met at Yuelai inn.

A summary of the news, Xia Jin found the problem.

Xiao Yihuan served as the magistrate of Lizhou for four years. In the first three years, he was benevolent and benevolent, and managed Lizhou in an orderly way. There were few vicious cases such as burning, killing, looting, and so on. The common people could not find anything left on the road and stayed at home at night. He was a model state of the whole Eastern Qing Dynasty.

However, a year ago, his temperament changed a lot overnight. He was no longer the kind Zhizhou with gentle temperament, elegant conduct and benevolent love for the people.

He became cruel and cruel, and his law enforcement was extremely strict. He even ordered some petty thieves to be dismembered.

If someone looks at the crime of fighting, he will order people to take part in the fight, all the people will be skinned and cramped, and be sentenced to the punishment of being late.

However, if there are robbers blocking the way to rob, he will ignore them and let them go.

In less than one month, Lizhou had the richest heaven on earth in the Eastern Qing Dynasty and turned into Purgatory on earth.

Some people and their officials tried to inform the court of this situation in a letter, but they were found and intercepted by him, and then destroyed.

These things are also known by some people outside Lizhou. They want to stand out for the people in Lizhou, but no one has a good ending in the end.

At the beginning, the common people thought that their virtuous and benevolent Zhizhou adults were infected with evil or stimulated.

They have illusions, worship Buddha and pray for him to return to normal.

But the final result was extremely disappointing.

As time goes on, no one will hope any more.

If it had not been for the early spring of this year, Lizhou would have suffered from severe drought and flood. For a time, the situation would have been out of control, and even could not hand in the grain on time. As a result, the imperial court would have heard that the emperor, who was far away in the imperial city of DIDU, still did not know the suffering of the people in Lizhou.

……

In Xia Jin's room of Yuelai Inn, she, you and Xiao Qi sit around the table of eight immortals to discuss the next steps. She is angry and calm.

"Miss Xia, my subordinates have met Wang Shizi more than once. They believe that there must be something hidden behind him. I hope you can find out everything..." don't convict him easily!

You silently added a sentence in your heart.

Although he didn't say what he thought, Xia Jin understood what he meant.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the myriad emotions in her heart, and said slowly:

"I only deal with the case on the basis of evidence. If there is no evidence, I will not easily convict Xiao Yihuan. What's more, he is at least the son of King Yu. Today, he's my nephew. I can't kill him if I want to. "

Therefore, she may offend the whole royal family and some courtiers.

In the Eastern Qing Dynasty, except Shicheng, Mocheng and Hongdu, which are adjacent to the border of the Three Kingdoms, the top officials of the remaining 15 states are Zhizhou.

To some extent, Xiao Yihuan can be said to be the local emperor of Lizhou, and no one should be able to control him. So why did he change his temperament overnight and turn the whole Lizhou from heaven to purgatory?

Xia Jin deeply feels that it is very necessary for her to find out the cause of Xiao Yihuan's great change of temperament before Han Chengdong's army comes.

She has a strong intuition, which is related to Xiao Yihuan's sentencing in the future.

There are many thoughts in my heart, but there are some rules in the complexity.

Xia Jin ponders for a long time and looks up at the two people opposite

"If we are not doctors, we will not cure the plague in our body, but we must do our best to eradicate the plague in our heart. Next, let's find out Xiao Yiyuan's itinerary and habits tomorrow, and try to find out the cause of his mood change... What do you think of them? "

"Follow Miss Xia's orders!"

You and Xiao Qi stand up at the same time and bow to Xia Jin respectfully.

……

At this time, it's late, and it's a good time for the dark guard activities like you.

Xia Jin and Xiao Qi stay in the inn, you resolutely leave, visit the prefect of Lizhou at night, and return at Yinshi.

Xia Jin's heart is tied, unable to sleep, so she lights a candle in the room, waiting for his return.

When you quietly return to the inn, the light in the room is still on, and the window is also open. In an instant, you guess Xia Jin's mind, and then fly straight into her room through the window.

"What do you find?"

As soon as Xia Jinfu looked up and saw you standing in front of the window, he got up and asked in a low voice.

"No abnormality has been found, but it can be found that at a moment tomorrow, Yuwang Shizi will judge Cao Hui with Lizhou in zuixianlou, and a group of merchants in Lizhou will have a banquet."

You micro hang head, respectful voice reply.

"Banquets..."

Xia Jin whispered, pondering for a while and then said:

"It's a good time to listen to the news at the banquet. Tomorrow, Xiao Qi will dress up as a rich man. I'll be his maid, and you'll be his entourage. Let's talk about it, shall we?"

Xia Jin's eyes are full of shining light, which makes her eyes dazzle.

"At your command."

You hang head, face slightly cold, eyes across a dark.

……

Because in winter, it's time for night to come.

Xia Jin was not in a hurry. She got up after a full sleep the next day.

After washing, as soon as she opened the door, she saw you and Xiao Qi standing at the door, each carrying a burden.

Surprised, she turned aside to let them in.

After the two entered, she leaned out her head and looked left and right. No one was following her. Then she drew back her head, closed the door and turned to look at the two people standing behind

"It's not the clothes you prepared for me, is it?"

Xia Jin stretched out her hand and pointed to the burden in their hands.

"I'm carrying clothes, and you're holding a silver note."

Xiaoqi replied with a smile.

A bundle of silver?

Xia Jin can't help looking at the burden in your hands.

"Although Miss Xia is at ease, when her subordinates went to get the bank note, they already disguised themselves and could not be recognized."

You understand Xia Jin's worries and explain.

"That's good."

Xia Jin nodded a few times in succession, the heart of this some worry instantly put down.

Seeing that they had finished talking, Xiao Qi hesitated and spoke again

"Miss Xia, you are as noble as the Lord. You asked me to pretend to be my brother, but you pretended to be my maid. If the Lord knew this, he would be angry. Are you sure we don't need to change our identities?"

The fear and respect of Xiao Yiyuan make Xiao Qi feel uneasy about Xia Jin's method.

Xia Jin was embarrassed for a moment when she listened to Xiao Qi. She took a breath and said:

"Everyone here is equal, no matter how high or low. Moreover, as long as we don't talk about it, Lord Yi won't know."

Xia Jin's words, small seven feel warm and moved, but still feel wrong.

"Miss Xia, you are so wise and powerful that you can't be cheated... However, since you have decided, you and I will do as you want."
