Daming King of Punishment

Page 888

As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhuo immediately began to pretend to be stupid, directly skipped Song Wuya's words, pointed to the food on the table and said: "Brother Wu Ya, let's eat first, the food is getting cold."

Seeing that Bai Zhuo was embarrassed to say it, Song Wuya smiled slightly, and did not continue to ask.

After the two had a meal in this small restaurant, they left here.Thinking that there was nothing to do next, the two went directly to the magistrate's yamen.

You know, although the magistrate promised to help the two find out about the suspicious cases that happened in the city in the past year.But Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo still couldn't believe it. After all, they were not sure about the identity of the magistrate, so it was best to do this matter by themselves.

"Master Song and Master Bai!" After the prefect saw the two of them again, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. "I wonder if the two adults have any advice?"

"No, no. The two of us have nothing to do, so we went to look at the file thinking it was time to pass the time." Song Wuya explained with a smile, lest the magistrate be overwhelmed.

Hearing this, the expression on Zhifu's face softened, and he smiled slightly: "My lords, what are you talking about? Just leave this kind of matter to the people below, how can you let the two lords worry about it yourself? "

"It's okay, we really have nothing to do." Bai Zhuo also said from the side.

Seeing that the two of them were so persistent, the magistrate didn't say anything else, and nodded in response: "In this case, then Xiugan will take the two adults to the archives. Except for the cases that are still under trial, all other files have been stored in the archives. There."

After saying this, the magistrate took the two of them to the archives in the backyard of the yamen.

"My lords, this is here." The magistrate pointed to the archives in front of him and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany my lords because I still have official duties. Please forgive me, my lords."

"Master Zhifu is easy." Song Wuya said with a slight smile.

After the magistrate left, the two entered the archives.The archives are clean, and the files are neatly arranged.Compared with the archives that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo had seen in a certain place before, it was really a world of difference!

"Brother Wu Ya, how do we find so many files?" Bai Zhuo looked at the huge number of files in front of him, and suddenly felt worried.

It is true that there are too many files in front of me, and there are so many files that people feel headaches when they read them.

It really takes a lot of effort to find useful ones in so many files.

While saying this, a person came out of the archives, saw the two people and immediately said respectfully: "I have seen two imperial envoys!"

"Are you in charge of this archive?" Song Wuya saw this person, and guessed his identity in his heart.

The man nodded immediately: "The humble job is indeed in charge of the archives. I have received an order from the magistrate before. The villain is here to check all the files since the Chen family ransacked and executed. But I haven't found anything yet."

"Oh! Sorry for your trouble." Song Wuya said politely, "Give us some files, and we'll have a look."

"Okay." Without hesitation, the man immediately agreed and went to find the files for the two of them.

Not long after, the man brought several bundles of files and placed them in front of the two of them.Perhaps he was worried that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo would be tired, since there were not many files.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo didn't say anything, they found a place to sit down, and began to search.

Most of the cases in the file are simple, and there is nothing suspicious in them.Even in some seemingly difficult cases, there is nothing worthy of the two of them suspecting that it has something to do with Wuliangjiao.

Soon these files were read by the two of them, but they didn't find anything.

"Brother Wu Ya, did you find anything?" Bai Zhuo read it first and asked Song Wuya.

Facing this question, Song Wuya shook his head helplessly: "I didn't find anything."

The same is true for Bai Zhuo, he sighed: "Hey! Shall we continue the file like this? I feel that even if we continue to read, we won't find anything."

Not knowing why, Bai Zhuo said such words.

Song Wuya asked in surprise, "Brother Bai, why did you say that?"

"Brother Wuya, I don't know if you have noticed." Bai Zhuo suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I have problems with these files no matter what. It's not just because these cases are too simple, but because I think These files were found out for us by that guy on purpose. There are all trivial things here."

It turned out that Bai Zhuo was due to this reason, which Song Wuya didn't expect, he smiled slightly and shook his head: "Brother Bai, I think this is because you are worrying too much! Although there is such a possibility, there is no need to directly treat him as a It’s for people from Wuliangjiao to look at it. After all, how many things can happen every day? Isn’t it just a trivial thing? Could it be that you still think that there are murder cases in Yingtianfu every day?”

"But it's too simple, isn't it? Look at the file, some cases are simply settled with a few words." Bai Zhuo still felt that he was right.

Chapter 26 The prefect is missing

?Chapter 26 The prefect is missing

In this way, the two of them stayed in the archives in the magistrate's office for the whole afternoon, looking through the files.It wasn't until the evening that the two of them returned to their residence a little tired.For the whole afternoon, including the administrator, the three of them failed to find the slightest clue among the many files.

I dragged my exhaustion into sleepland, and today's day's work is over like this.

The next day, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, which woke Song Wuya from his sleep.

"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

Song Wuya woke up with a start, and immediately came to the door. Before he could open the door, he asked a question outside.

The guard outside the door responded immediately: "My lord, something has happened. The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture is missing!"

"What?" Song Wuya, who had just opened the door, was also taken aback when he heard this sentence: "A good person, he was still there yesterday, why did he disappear today?"

This matter made Song Wuya very puzzled, after all, the magistrate and the others had only met in the magistrate's yamen yesterday, and he was fine, but today he suddenly disappeared.

While Song Wuya was asking, he hurriedly turned around and went back to get dressed: "Go and wake up Bai Zhuo."

"Master Bai has already been called." The imperial guard replied and continued: "We also discovered that the yamen servants were mobilized this morning, and only then did we realize that something happened. After inquiring, we found out that the magistrate has disappeared. .”

Song Wuya didn't have time to respond, he quickly got dressed, and only then did he have the time to pay attention to the outside.

It was already dawn, and he got up late today.

"Wait for me a moment, let me wash my face first to sober up." Song Wuya responded to the guard and went to wash up.

Soon, after finishing everything, he came to the door again.

"Brother Wu Ya, this is really strange. How could the magistrate go missing?" Bai Zhuo also got up, and he seemed to have tidied up. Seeing Song Wuya, he asked in surprise.

Song Wuya didn't know what was going on now, but he learned from the guards that this matter might not be fake.

"Let's go to the magistrate's yamen now and ask for details." Song Wuya didn't say much, greeted Bai Zhuo and went towards the magistrate's yamen.

Not long after, the two of them came to the magistrate's yamen, entered the yamen, there were no other people except for a few yamen servants guarding the yamen's gate.

In the courtroom, a person was pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Are you the master here?"

After looking at the man's attire, Song Wuya asked a question.

Perhaps he hadn't noticed the arrival of the two of them, but after hearing Song Wuya's inquiry, he was suddenly taken aback with a bit of astonishment.

"I have seen the two imperial envoys!" The master saw the two, and hurriedly knelt down to carry their luggage.

Song Wuya raised his hand and said, "Get up and talk! Tell me what you saw first?"

Hearing Song Wuya's question, the master suddenly smiled slightly, pretending to be calm and said: "No, no, nothing happened."
