Chapter 362 Evidence of Corruption
Dong Yue looked at the horse catcher like this, and thought of the smell of blood on the horse merchant, it should be true.
"When I go to acupuncture and moxibustion every day, I should see more." Dong Yue didn't want to say more.
Ma Tutou felt relieved when he heard this, and before leaving, he reminded Dong Yue, "Miss Dong, the capital is not safe recently, Madam should take more people with her when she goes out!" After finishing speaking, she left.
Dong Yue felt baffled, and it seemed that Ma Tutou knew something.
Watching Steward Li send people away, he also thought of Xie Baishan, the "Prophet of Unknown".
Later, because of Liu Sanqiang's return, thinking about what he had done recently, it is true that the capital will not be too safe during this period.
She didn't take this matter to heart.
After Liu Sanqiang and Dong Yue had dinner in the backyard, the maids left, and Liu Sanqiang explained everything they did after leaving.
Dong Yue frowned, why did she think that Liu Sanqiang was explaining the funeral?
This feeling made Dong Yue uneasy.
Dong Yue tried hard to hold back, not letting her emotions leak out.
Fortunately, after the man finished speaking, he rested normally.
A few days passed, and nothing happened. Dong Yue thought it was because she was too sensitive, but she didn't want to, something really happened this day.
Dong Yue left the Ma Mansion with her maid, and met Ma Tutou again on the road, Dong Yue shook her head slightly at him, and quickly walked into the shop.
Ma Tutou was a little disappointed. He originally thought that Dong Yue could provide them with strong clues, but now it seems that it is useless.
Thinking of this, Ma Tutou was very disappointed.
Back to the yamen, he was reprimanded by the adults again.
Ma Tutou knows that adults are inappropriate, and also knows that someone is suppressing adults, so he can only do his best.
Feeling upset, I am going to drink outside to get rid of the fire.
I didn't want to, saw Dong Yue leaving the shop, and walked to a small alley.
There was nothing at first, but his natural intuition made him feel suspicious.
quietly followed behind, and found Dong Yue following a man, he took a look and was instantly startled.
Seeing that Dong Yue was about to expose herself, Ma Tutou shouted, "Catch the thief!" and ran across the alley on purpose.
At this time, Dong Yue also found that Wu Ma's fellow villager had seen her and rushed towards her.
Dong Yue is not afraid.
She stood on the spot, holding the silver needle in her hand. The moment the opponent was about to rush over, Ma Butou suddenly appeared behind the fellow Wu Ma, piercing the opponent's body with a sword.
Wu Ma's fellow villager has not yet reacted, and has already fallen to the ground.
Dong Yue looked at the fallen person in front of her, and she was sure that Ma Tutou stabbed him in the heart with a sword, and she was hopeless.
She was shocked by Ma Tutou's actions, and just about to say something, Ma Tutou picked up Dong Yue, leaped to the deserted small yard separated by a wall, and soon there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.
Dong Yue couldn't see the scene on the other side of the wall, but heard a familiar voice from there.
"Young master, the man is dead!"
"Look, turn over the entire capital, and find it for me."
"yes."
The sound of footsteps of someone leaving, and someone staying where they are.
Dong Yue broke out in cold sweat all over her body.
The man who spoke later was Hao Tao.
Because of the poisonous mushroom incident in Huangshan Village, I remembered this man's voice.
Not long ago, Liu Sanqiang asked herself to recognize someone, she heard this voice, and when she heard it again, she was even more frightened.
At first, he was puzzled by Ma Tutou's behavior, but now he is sure that he saved himself.
Just now, if I really did something to Wu Ma’s fellow villagers, I was too late to leave, and Hao Tao grabbed me.
Even if he is not caught by a murderer, he will cause a lot of trouble.
Just as he was thinking, someone ran over, "My lord, someone saw a woman following this man."
"What does it look like?"
"The other party didn't see the face, but saw that she was wearing a blue dress, and she looked like a lady."
Dong Yue was startled.
If found out, things don't end well.
It would be bad if it caused trouble to Liu Sanqiang.
Ma Tuotou listened to the voice next to him, quietly waiting for the opportunity to leave.
Fortunately, Dong Yue is not an ordinary person, and she did not panic to reveal their positions.
Finally, when those people left, Ma Butou took Dong Yue away quickly.
Ma Tutou first sent Dong Yue around the shop, gave some instructions, and left quickly.
Dong Yue tried hard to calm herself down. She didn't know what happened when she fell to the ground. Could it be that Wu Ma's hometown had something to do with the Third Prince?
Trying to pretend to be calm, walking on the street.
Because it is convenient for her to work, she wears ordinary clothes. Blue clothes are all over the street, so her appearance is not considered outstanding.
She walked all the way to the shop and bought some snacks.
Just returned to the shop, a group of officers and soldiers ran to the alley not far away.
There are a lot of people wearing uniform clothes looking for someone on the street.
Dong Yue tried her best to surround herself, and stood at the door like this, eating the snacks she just bought and watching the bustle outside.
She was thinking, who is Wu Ma's fellow villager, why did he have an accident and made so many people nervous?
Dong Yue was thinking when she saw Hao Tao walking through the crowd.
He led a group of people to direct something, and the people around him were busy back and forth.
At this moment, Dong Yue's eyes met his.
Dong Yue thought that she didn't kill people herself, and Wu Ma's fellow villagers also had problems, so what was she afraid of!
Calmly met Hao Tao's gaze.
At this moment, a horseshoe galloped from a distance, and soon, people came to the front of the shop, only to see Liu Sanqiang jumped off the horse, holding a piece of jujube cake that was still steaming in his hand.
"How did you come?"
Liu Sanqiang came to Dong Yue and delivered the jujube cake to the woman, "It's still hot just out of the pan."
Dong Yue's heart warmed up, she took a jujube cake and took a bite, "Mmm, it's delicious."
"You go to the side and eat first, and I will watch them unload."
The words were very common, Dong Yue felt that the man's words were a bit strange, after a while, the carriage arrived, and it was full of goods.
Liu Sanqiang stood by and directed, and quickly put all the goods in the backyard.
Dong Yue followed the man to the backyard, the man turned around, stretched out his hand and tapped Dong Yue's forehead, "You, it's too risky!"
"I" Did the man know what happened?
Dong Yue felt guilty and dared not speak.
Liu Sanqiang hugged the woman into his arms, "Okay, it's okay, I'll take care of it." At this time, he was still afraid that if he came a step late, he didn't know what would happen.
He couldn't control his heart beating when he thought of women being in danger.
Since both of them were in the shop, it was inconvenient to talk, so they didn't reveal much.
She was busy until the evening, when the two left, Dong Yue saw a lot of official missions on the street.
Dong Yue felt strange. When she returned home and came to the backyard, Liu Sanqiang explained to the woman, "Wu Mama's fellow villager has a lot of evidence of other people's corruption."
Dong Yue was shocked. It turned out that Wu Ma's hometown is so powerful, so the origin of those gold ingots is not unusual, and it makes sense, why they can owe gambling debts and pay them back in a few days.
Thinking, Dong Yue told everything that happened.
After Liu Sanqiang heard it, he said, "It was Ma Butou who gave me the news." He was so frantic when he got the news.
"What does Ma Tutou mean?" Dong Yue felt that Ma Tutou's appearance was very suspicious at first, and later she helped the master herself, probably because she knew something.
"This man hides very deeply."
Originally, Liu Sanqiang hated hunters like Ma Tutou who asked for money. Because of this incident, he had a lot less prejudice against this person, and because of today's incident, he owed Ma Tutou a favor.
