Chapter 545 545 Soldiers and Bandits
Alian nodded, thinking of those relatives and villagers who were killed by the thieves and buried in the pit at the foot of the mountain, and said to Li Yu: "Madam, after the officials come, we would like to invite someone to bury our relatives. "
"Okay, I'll talk to the officials about this, and you can recall it carefully. The faces of the gangsters who have been in the village over the years will be drawn by others, so that they can be found."
Alian looked at Li Yu and said, "Madam, the thieves who left turned into ashes, we all remember that the thieves who came to Tu Village that night all covered their faces with black scarves, and the leader of the thieves wore a mask with only two eyeballs exposed. Outside, the thief was tall and had a hoarse voice, standing there without making a move."
"I heard him order the young woman to stay, and I also heard my father-in-law shout, it's not a bandit, it's an officer."
Li Yuji said in his heart, "Okay, tell the sisters, when the officials come, tell them everything you remember, so that you can find them faster. You go to work first, the steward in Zhuangzi went out yesterday, probably today I'll turn around later, I'll go to the village gate to guard and catch him first."
Alian nodded and said, "Understood, I'll go back and let them think about it and remember them clearly." Li Qing, Zhaocai and Lengchaotou divided into two groups, and set off to two nearby towns before dawn. , to inquire about Li Yu's news.
***
Ruyi and Jixiang headed towards Kyoto separately.
Li Qing and Zhaocai went to a small town the next morning. After searching around the town, there was still no news of Li Yu.
Zhao Cai said to Li Qing: "Uncle, Ruyi and Jixiang went up the mountain road, but they didn't turn around to chase us. I guess the mountain road they went to is the direction where the thieves fled. We think we should go back and have a look."
Li Qing thought for a while after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's go back first to see if Leng Zaitou and the others have found it, and then make plans."
After they discussed it, they turned around and walked back. Halfway through, they met Leng Chautou and his party who turned around. Seeing that they didn't find any useful information, they had to turn around and walk back.
***
Ruyi rode a horse and just arrived at the gate of the city. The little loach and edamame who were guarding the gate of the city saw Ruyi riding a horse galloping towards the gate of the city from a distance, and ran forward happily, seeing only Ruyi alone, her eyes darkened .
Ruyi came to the two of them, and the little loach looked at Ruyi, "Uncle Yi, have you found Mrs.?"
"I found it." Ruyi smiled and looked at the two of them. The two jumped happily and stretched out their hands to Ruyi, "Uncle Yi, let's go back quickly and tell the master the news."
Ruyi nodded, pulled the two on their horses and sat down, rushing to the Zhou Mansion.
***
Ruyi and Xiao Loach Edamame stopped their horses when they arrived at the door of the house, and Xiao Loach and Edamame jumped off their horses and ran towards the house.
Edamame said to Uncle Liu, who was looking at them, "Uncle Liu, Madam is fine, Madam killed those robbers."
"Alright, alright, go and tell the master." Liu Bochao ran towards Ruyi and took the reins.
smiled and muttered, "It's good to be safe, just to be safe."
Ruyi smiled, "Yes, just be safe."
Little Loach and Edamame rushed to the outside of the study, and shouted to Zhou Jia: "Master, I found Mrs. Yi, Uncle Yi is back..."
Zhou Jia rushed out of the study, saw Ruyi walking in with big strides, and looked at Ruyi, "Where's Madam?"
"The lady is in Liangjia Village in Shanyang County..." This is the letter from the lady to you. Ruyi took the letter out of his pocket and handed it to Zhou Jia.
Looking at Ruyi's tired look, Zhou Jia nodded and said, "Okay, you go eat something first and have a rest." Ruyi responded and stepped back.
Zhou Jia hurriedly opened the letter, and after reading Li Yu's writing about the tragedy found in Liangjia Village, he slapped his palm on the table in anger, "Lang Lang, under the feet of the emperor, such a tragedy could have happened."
"Little Loach told Ruyi, I'll go to the palace." Zhou Jia said as he walked quickly outside.
"Yes, sir." The little loach turned and ran towards the kitchen.
Zhou Jia entered the palace to see Chu Yuhao, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, my wife was kidnapped by the driver at home yesterday. My wife pretended not to know, and was kidnapped by him to Liangjia Village in Shanyang County. ..., followed me all the way..., Madam asked the housekeeper to bring back a letter, which said what my wife saw and heard in Liangjia Village, which is really outrageous."
Chu Yuhao looked at Zhou Jia in surprise, "Mrs. Li was kidnapped, please bring up the letter."
The maid took the letter held by Zhou Jia, bowed and handed it to it. Chu Yuhao read Li Yu's writing at a glance, what she saw and heard in Liangjiacun, what she was going to do in the future, and what she asked Kyoto to do. cooperation requirements.
Chu Yuhao looked at the letter in his hand in disbelief, never dreaming that such a tragedy would happen in Shanyang County at the foot of the emperor.
Those people were so bold, they dared to make up the plague in the village, slaughtered the people in the village, and left women to watch their relatives die...
After more than ten years, no one has found out, and he still hoards a large number of weapons in Zhuangzi. Except for the second child whose life and death are unknown, who else would dare to do such a thing.
Chu Yuhao turned his head and glanced at the servant, "Xuan Chu entered the palace from all over the world." The servant bowed and stepped back.
Chu Yuhao said to Zhou Jia, "Go to Dali Temple to find out who the magistrate of Shanyang County was ten years ago and where he is now, and then look up the current magistrate of Shanyang County."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Jia bowed and stepped out.
In less than half an hour, Chu Sihai entered the palace, and Chu Yuhao told him what Li Yu had discovered.
He began to issue a series of orders, "You immediately send people to Beicheng and Zhou Fu's auspicious connections, and ask them to keep the Beicheng for me, and then send people to Shanyang County to monitor the magistrate of Shanyang County, and step up efforts to deal with those in Kyoto. The second prince and noble concubine are under the surveillance of the family, and carefully check who they are in contact with. After the second child disappeared, did anyone leave the capital and live in other places. They will also send someone to Liangjia Village to protect and respond to Mrs. Li. "
Chu Sihai took orders and left the palace gate, and told Ding Yi, "Hurry up and take people to Beicheng and Jixiang."
After Ding Yi left, Chu Sihai went back to the bank and sent people to Shanyang County, making people keep an eye on the eldest prince and the second prince and noble concubine.
Zhou Jia quickly found out that the county magistrate ten years ago had been dismissed from his post ten years ago, and on the way back to his hometown, he encountered bandits and was slaughtered. He took the file and returned to the palace to report to Chu Yuhao.
Chu Yuhao looked at the file presented by Zhou Jia, and sneered: "When the bandits were wiped out, it was clear that they were wiped out. Some people believe such deceptive nonsense, and they even gave instructions to close the case."
Zhou Jia bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't take the throne at that time, and you also know how the people under you did things at that time."
Chu Yuhao remembered that in Kyoto at that time, it was the world of noble concubines, mothers and children, and even his dignified royal sons and daughters had to avoid Tongzhou.
The people who work under them must act according to their color. It is not surprising that such a thing happens.
