After Baozhu watched Jin Zishi leave, she turned to look at Huang Dadan, who had finished carrying the last load of water.

"Huang Dadan, why are you still here?"

Huang Daudao smiled honestly and wiped his sweat: "I'm tired, sit down and take a rest."

"Young lady, have you finished talking to General Jin? Why do you think General Jin is leaving our village?"

"Well, there is an urgent shortage of medicinal materials and vinegar. I asked him to go out and transport some back." Baozhu pursed his lips and looked at him with bright almond eyes.

Then he walked over to him and sat down next to him: "Huang Dadan, you are from Guoshan Village, so you should be very familiar with the entire Pingyang Town, right?"

"That's natural. I grew up here. When I was a child, I often went hunting with my father in the mountains. If it weren't for this damn plague, I would still go hunting in the mountains to improve the food at home."

"I see that young ladies often go hunting in the mountains these days. Let me tell you... this mountain is not very peaceful. You can't go inside when hunting. There are a lot of venomous snakes and beasts in there. My uncle was bitten to death by a venomous snake the year before last.

.”

Huang Bingdao looked at Baozhu worriedly and warned.

"Well, I'm not afraid of anything. Not to mention big snakes, I'm not even afraid of big insects coming." Baozhu looked like he didn't want to listen.

He wrinkled his little nose and even looked eager to try.

"Female young master, please don't disobey me."

Huang DaDa looked at her nervously.

Baozhu pursed his lips and felt very bored: "Don't worry, I will take you with me when I go into the mountains. After all, you are familiar with Pingyang Town. Besides... I am going to the town tomorrow, and I need you to lead the way."

"

Luo Luo stood up generously and patted his shoulder: "Okay, you should go back and rest quickly. You have to go on the road early tomorrow morning."

Huang stood up with a bold smile, picked up the pole and left with the empty barrel.

Mingzhu happened to walk in from outside: "Huang Dadan was too diligent. He picked up almost all the water in the village by himself."

Baozhu looked at Huang Bingdao's back and nodded in agreement: "Isn't that right? I have already told him to ask him to act as a guide tomorrow and take us to the town, and I have asked him to arrange for another person to carry water."

"By the way, besides carrying water to the village, who else has he been spending time with these days?"

Mingzhu was a little confused. She raised her head and thought for a moment: "And Huang Dahe has been going to the mountains to cut firewood. Because he has to boil vinegar all the time, and you said that it needs high temperature to kill viruses, so the firewood is used quickly."

Baozhu nodded, indicating that he already understood.

…

It was already evening when Ye Yunzhou received the imperial edict, and he rushed to Daomin County all night.

Outside the Minxian County Government Office, Ye Yunzhou got off the carriage and asked the guard beside him to knock on the door: "Open the door. We, the Lord, are here to investigate the case. Please come out quickly."

The door of the government office opened, and what came out was not the magistrate but the master.

"Master Ye, are you Master Ye who came here to investigate the case?"

As soon as Master Jia saw Ye Yunzhou, he knelt down and cried loudly.

This action made Ye Yunzhou couldn't help but frown, and winked at the people around him, who secretly left the team.

"Where are you adults?"

"My lord, my lord, he is dead."

Master Jia cried so sadly that his tears felt as if the dam had burst.

It was not the county magistrate who died in a trance, but his own son.

Ye Yunzhou frowned. Good people never die, but he died when he came here.

If he said there was nothing strange, he would never believe it.

"Take me to see you adults."

Ye Yunzhou immediately made up his mind and asked Master Jia to lead the way to the place where the body of the Magistrate of Min County was parked.

He opened the white cloth covering the corpse and examined the magistrate's body, and found that the magistrate had been stabbed directly in the chest with a sword and died.

"Where did you find his body?"

Master Jia hesitated for a long time: "Yes, I found it in the Flower House. We adults went to find Miss Peony as usual that day. We didn't think much about it. Who knew that just a moment later, Miss Peony's scream came out and she pushed away

When we looked at the door, we adults were lying in a pool of blood, and Miss Peony fainted because of the shock."

"The thief has jumped out of the window and escaped."

Is this really the case?

The dignified county magistrate went to a brothel and was killed there, but the murderer was not caught.

"Go to the brothel and have a look."

Ye Yunzhou turned around and left without thinking, and immediately went to the brothel to have a look.

It is already evening, which is when brothels are busiest.

Usually in a place like this, there are some small forces behind it. Ye Yunzhou just went to the brothel, and Master Jia immediately chased after him.

"Sir, are you planning to go to a brothel to find Miss Peony?"

Ye Yunzhou stopped and looked at the master in front of him. Master Jia didn't know if he was feeling guilty, so he raised his head and smiled flatteringly at Ye Yunzhou.

"My lord, what are you looking at this subordinate for? This subordinate... I just asked a few questions."

Master Jia said with a guilty conscience.

Ye Yunzhou sneered, said nothing, and strode towards the brothel.

Min County is not that big, but the largest brothel in the county is easy to find.

It is different from the miserable, hell-like appearance of Pingyang Town.

There were singing and dancing in the brothel, as well as laughter and laughter between women and their clients.

Ye Yunzhou walked in and raised his hand to let all the people behind him in.

The brothel, which was originally lively and bustling with laughter everywhere, suddenly stopped.

All eyes were fixed on Ye Yunzhou, this uninvited guest.

The madam quickly ran downstairs, the fat on her body still shaking as she ran.

"Oh, why is this official so unfamiliar?"

His little eyes rolled, and he soon discovered Master Jia's voice from the crowd.

"Hey, isn't this our Master Jia? It turns out he is the distinguished guest brought by Master Jia. Come on... please come upstairs."

Master Jia nodded and smiled, pointed at Ye Yunzhou and said: "This is Ye Yunzhou, Mr. Ye, the future consort. Madam... We Mr. Ye are here today to meet Miss Peony."

"I want to see Miss Peony. Well...Master Jia, you also know that our Peony was frightened a few days ago. I'm afraid...it's not appropriate to come out to meet guests. How about...let the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums come out?"

When the old bustard heard that he was an adult from Shangjing City, his smile turned into a chrysanthemum.

But as soon as Master Jia asked Mudan to accompany him, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

It is rare to see a big shot in the small Min County. The county magistrate died in a brothel a few days ago. Now the people brought by Mr. Jia came and wanted to see Mu Dan. The madam was not a fool, and he quickly understood what he meant.

He immediately made excuses to refuse.

Ye Yunzhou stared at the madam without saying a word. He raised a hand and gestured to the person behind him: "Surround the brothel and no one is allowed to leave."

"What? No... The official can't help it. We are just doing a small business here, and the people who come here are all distinguished guests from the county. You... how can we open our doors and do business with your actions?"

The madam turned around anxiously and looked at Ye Yunzhou pitifully.
