Chapter 6

Ye Xiaotian, Xue Shuiwu, Yang Leyao and Fuwaer enjoyed the treatment of a court official and moved into the inn in the county.

Compared with the inns in other places, the Huxian inn is very simple. Since its completion, no one has ever lived here except for a few passing officials. However, for Ye Xiaotian and the other two, the conditions here are already very good. Moreover, in such a large yard, there is only one family, which feels like a big mansion.

Soon, Ye Xiaotian discovered that the county government sent someone to stare at them, and the leader was Li Yuncong, the clerk they had contacted. Under their restrictions, even the postmen in the inn could have difficulty in getting in touch with Xiaotian and the others. Considering that Aidianshi's murder was of great importance, it was normal for the government to monitor witnesses, so Ye Xiaotian didn't think much about it.

The next morning, Li Yuncong came to lead Ye Xiaotian to the county government office and asked him to lead a team to find Aidianshi's body. When Ye Xiaotian arrived at the county government office, he saw the county magistrate Hua Qingfeng, the county magistrate Meng Qingwei, and the chief clerk Wang Ning all wore official uniforms and looked solemn. Bu Kuais were all equipped with single swords, and there was another team of soldiers holding bamboo guns and vine shields, but the inspector Luo Xiaoye led the team.

The group left Huxian and rushed to the mountain pass where the county magistrate Ai was in the evening. Inspection inspector Luo led his soldiers to enter the mountain pass first, searched around for a while to confirm that there were no ambushes, and then stationed the soldiers in the distance as police posts. Hua Magistrate Meng, Wang Zhuan, and Wang Zhuan took Ye Xiaotian and a few confidants to walk into the mountain pass quickly.

At the place Ye Xiaotian identified, they quickly dug out the bodies and found "report" from Aidianshi. Seeing "report", Hua Magistrate Hua and others were relieved. Fortunately, the "report" was not damaged or lost. With this letter of appointment, their plan could be implemented smoothly.

County Magistrate Hua said calmly: "Ai Dianshi was unfortunately killed. Since the incident happened in this county, the county has no choice but to find out the truth as soon as possible. Wang Zhuan, please stay and let someone keep the body well and wait for it to be transported back to the county town for parking. County Magistrate Meng, let's discuss how to resolve this matter first."

Ye Xiaotian followed him to make a circle of soy sauce, followed Hua Magistrate Hua and Meng County Magistrate, and not far from the mountain pass. Ye Xiaotian looked back accidentally and saw a fireworks rising from the valley, and he couldn't help but suddenly burst into tears.

Ye Xiaotian followed Hua Magistrate and the others to settle down in the nearby valley. He set off early the next morning to return to the county town. When he arrived at the county government in the evening, the exhausted Ye Xiaotian said, "Master, the responsibility of the common people is already there. Can you say goodbye?"

County Magistrate Meng looked at him and said, "You are here. There are some unfinished matters. Let me talk about it after I discuss with the county magistrate."

Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to stand in the corridor. After about two incense sticks, Li Yuncong suddenly appeared in front of him and said, "Ye Xiaotian, the master wants to see you, follow me!" Ye Xiaotian was still waiting for questioning, Li Yuncong had turned around and walked away, and Ye Xiaotian had to follow him.

After a while, Ye Xiaotian was brought into the three halls, where only Magistrate Hua and County Magistrate Meng were present, and there was no one around.

Ye Xiaotian sang a fat look to them and bowed to stand firm.

County Chief Meng said: "Ye Xiaotian, the imperial court ordered officials to be killed in this county. Such thieves are lawless and extremely rampant. They must be brought to justice to serve as a warning. However, the thieves come and go without a trace and cannot be traced. I will discuss with the county master and want to ask you to help us. Are you willing?"

Ye Xiaotian looked at Meng County Magistrate and Hua Magistrate who was sitting on the top without saying a word, and asked, "Two masters, the little people are neither from the government office nor from the heroes of the martial arts world. How can we help the master solve this case?"

County Chief Meng smiled slightly and said, "We carefully checked that there was still a lot of money on Aidian and they were actually on them. It can be seen that the thieves killed Aidian and Shinshi not for money, but for revenge."

Ye Xiaotian said in his heart: "Nonsense! Ai Dianshi and others were robbed by bandits first, and then plundered by me. My pockets were cleaner than my face, so how could they get a lot of money? It was obviously a case of bandits killing money, so why did it be called seeking revenge? Ah, if someone seeks revenge, then Ai Dianshi has to bear some responsibility. If there are bandits, it is entirely the responsibility of the county officials. Are they trying to reduce their guilt, right?"

County Magistrate Hua coughed and said, "Since the purpose of the evil man is Aidianshi, we can use Aidianshi to lure them out. As long as they reveal some clues, we can arrest them. Therefore, we want you to pretend to be Aidianshi!"

Ye Xiaotian was shocked and said, "What? Let me pretend to be Aidianshi?"

County Chief Meng said: "Not bad! You are not a few years apart from Aidianshi, and no one in this county knows your origin. As long as we release the wind, Aidianshi was robbed on the road and all his followers were stabbed. Aidianshi himself escaped by chance, and no one would doubt your identity.

You are in and out of this county as Aidianshi. Once the thieves learn the news, they will come to find you if the assassination fails. Don't worry, we will send someone to protect you secretly and will never hurt you. After the matter is done, the county will thank you for 500 taels of silver. What do you think?"

Ye Xiaotian opened his mouth as if he had eaten yellow lotus: "Five hundred taels! Another five hundred taels! Don't cheat people. Could it be that your family also has a four-year-old daughter-in-law, and the 18-year-old mother-in-law is waiting to give it to me?"

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Master, since the purpose of the thief is to assassinate Aidianshi, then they must recognize Aidianshi's appearance. Although the little people are not much different from Aidianshi, they look different. If you want to pretend to be him, you are afraid that you will lose money immediately."

County Chief Meng laughed and said, "This is a bad word. Aidianshi is an official. Even if he offended someone, the other party should be a person in the officialdom or a scholar. Such a person will not kill people. Therefore, most of the murderers are **.

In this case, the murderer who was bought by him could only come in Aidianshi's convoy, not familiar with his appearance, or had only seen a specious portrait. Furthermore, what if the murderers knew Aidianshi? They always had to find out what they wanted. As long as they came, we would have a chance."

Ye Xiaotian suddenly thought of the thick smoke rising from the valley when he looked back at the mountain pass last night. He felt a little uneasy. He shook his head and said, "Sir, Xiaomin has just passed by Huxian and was on the same journey as Aidianshi and witnessed the scene of the murder. As for cooperating with all the masters to solve this case, it is neither the obligation of the young people, nor the ability. Xiaomin cannot agree!"

County Magistrate Hua slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Bold! This county is not about discussing with you, but ordering you to cooperate with this county!"

Ye Xiaotian glanced at him and said coldly: "Master, Xiaomin is not an ignorant fool who has never seen the world. Xiaomin has never heard of a good citizen who does not eat the salary of the court and does not receive the salary of the government. He must cooperate with the government to solve the case. What's more, Xiaomin is not a citizen under your rule, you are just passing through this place."

"you……"

County Magistrate Hua didn't expect that a mere civilian would dare to contradict him, and pointed his halberd at Ye Xiaotian and was furious.

County Magistrate Meng stopped him with a smile: "County Master, don't be angry, please calm down."

County Magistrate Meng stopped Magistrate Hua and turned to Ye Xiaotian and said, "You really don't want to?"

Ye Xiaotian bowed and said, "I can't obey my fate!"

County Magistrate Meng laughed and said, "Okay, that official is not willing to force others to do anything. But you are the only witness in this case..."

Ye Xiaotian said: "Master, Xiaomin only witnessed the scene of the murder."

County Magistrate Meng waved his hand and said, "What's the difference? This murderer may have been following the whereabouts of Aidianshi and his group when he was in Lujiao Town. You have met some people from Zifu Mountain along the way, right? Maybe there are the murderers' eyes and ears, and you may need to identify them in the future, so..."

County Magistrate Meng paused and said, "So, you can't pretend to be Aidianshi, but... you can't leave this county until this case is solved."

Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and County Magistrate Meng stared at him with sharp eyes and asked, "How?"

Ye Xiaotian touched his nose and suddenly said with a smile: "Okay! That little person will live in Huxian first and wait for the master to call him."

Ye Xiaotian's attitude made County Magistrate Meng stunned, and he didn't understand why Ye Xiaotian had such a strange reaction. But he still said calmly: "Okay! Then you go down, I will send someone to stare at you. You will stay in this county before the case is settled."

County Magistrate Meng asked Ye Xiaotian to retreat, and called Li Yuncong to give instructions. Li Yuncong took Ye Xiaotian away. Ye Xiaotian followed Li Yuncong while thinking, "Shuiwu, this is not my intentional delay, but the elders in Huxian are not letting us go.

You and I will settle down here. It is close to the water tower. Of course, the closer you have to be, the better. The longer you get, the better. Maybe you and I will cook the rice into cooked rice. Then we will take the baby to Tongren to meet my father-in-law. Haha, fortunately, I have the foresight, and I have more than twenty taels of silver on my body, so I won’t have to worry about eating and using it for a few years.”

After Ye Xiaotian left, Magistrate Hua frowned and said, "Why did you let him leave like this? He refused to agree. How could this matter be settled?"

Meng County Chief said: "Mr. County Master, we want him to pretend to be Dianshi, an official who often needs to show up. Except for the officials in the second hall that day, no one can know that he is the Huxian Dianshi of Xijia. In this way, after he dies of illness in the future, there will be no flaws. If he does not convince himself, then we will find some trouble and it will be difficult for him to make up for it."

County Magistrate Hua said in confusion: "Today, the county government dispatched so many people to Yamaguchi, and the matter of Aidianshi can not be delayed for a few days. If he agrees later, what's the use of him?"

County Magistrate Meng replied lightly: "If we block the news about Aidianshi for another three or five days, there should be no problem. Three or five days of effort is enough! In three or five days, this person surnamed Ye will come back obediently and beg us to be willing to be the Dianshi!"
