Lin Ye looked at the heavy and hard arrayed knife, which turned into a stream of quicksand and slipped from his fingers. No matter how calm he was, he could not help but open his eyes wide.
Lu Yunjia seemed very satisfied with his reaction. Although her face was particularly tired, her eyes were brighter than before.
She didn't say anything more, she just looked at the quicksand that was slowly falling to the ground, with the dark red light appearing and disappearing in it. Her eyes also became gentle, gentler than looking at Lin Ye.
Lin Ye squatted down and put his hands on the quicksand, and red brilliance flashed in the quicksand.
In the next breath, the quicksand reassembled into the shape of an array of knives. Lin Ye held the knife, and the blade regained its heaviness and sharpness.
"Practice more."
Lu Yunjia said two words, and then smiled at Zinai: "Same for you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lin Ye quickly caught up, followed behind Lu Yunjia and said, "No matter what, Zinai and I would like to thank the priest."
Lu Yunjia wrapped the stove in a bag with a piece of gray cloth. She put the stove on her back and went out, but ignored Lin Ye's words.
Lin Ye said as he walked: "If you have time in the future, I will come often..."
As soon as he said this, he didn't have time to say that Chang came to play with Zinai. After all, Zinai was often at home alone.
Lu Yunjia stopped, looked at Lin Ye and said, "It has nothing to do with you."
Lin Ye also stopped.
Lu Yunjia looked back at Zina, and there was tenderness in her eyes again, which was completely opposite to her attitude towards Lin Ye.
She breathed slowly and then continued walking: "I also had a sister before."
After saying that, he put his feet down, flew up with the stove on his back, and soon disappeared.
Lin Ye returned to Zinai, and Zinai asked him: "Brother, what did Sister Lu say to you?"
Lin Ye said: "You are like her sister."
Zina nodded and said subconsciously: "It turns out that I should also have a sister."
After finishing speaking, he shook his head again: "Probably, I can't find her, and she can't find me."
Lin Ye lowered his head and looked at Zinai, suddenly feeling a strong sense of self-blame in his heart.
Although he asked Gao Gong and others to investigate Zinai's family affairs, he never really cared about it.
He always put the most energy into investigating the case of the former general, but left Zina's case to others.
Just give her some practice materials, just let her be alone at home, just...
Lin Ye took a deep breath.
Zinai cares about him so much, and he is Zinai's support, but this support is so incompetent.
He raised his hand and rubbed Zina's head: "Brother, help you find it."
But Zinai shook his head: "No need."
She didn't say why, but her expression was so firm, firm to the point of stubbornness.
Lin Ye looked at the purple robe on his body. After a moment, he smiled and said to Zinai: "Let's have hot pot today. Let's go buy some meat now."
Zinai immediately laughed: "Brother, one catty, grandpa, one catty, plus Zinai, I only need to buy six, seven, eight, ninety catties."
Lin Ye burst out laughing.
Early the next morning, Lin Ye appeared outside the gate of Yunzhou Government Office. Before the office door opened, Lin Ye stood there waiting.
The moment the sealed door was opened, the government officials saw the young man in purple robe and a group of embroidered scale robes behind him. They were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Pang Panghai stepped forward and said, "As soon as I announce it, General Lin, the commander of Wu Lingwei, would like to see Mr. Fu Zhi."
Not long after, the new governor Liao Xianwei came out in a hurry and saluted Lin Ye when he saw him.
Yunzhou is a big city, and the governor of Yunzhou is also a fourth-rank official, on the same level as Lin Ye.
So Lin Ye stopped Liao Xian for a moment. If Lord Liao really made a gift that was beyond the control, Lin Ye accepted it calmly. It is hard to explain clearly.
"What important case does General Lin have?"
Liao Xianwei asked a few tentative questions while accompanying Lin Ye inside.
He said: "If there is a need for government assistance, General Lin can just send someone to inform you. There is no need to come in person."
Lin Ye said: "I just want to enter Mr. Fu Zhi's archives and check some past cases."
Liao Xianweixin said that you, a young man, are really ruthless, so you became the commander of Wu Lingwei. He immediately came to the archives to check old cases, and he didn't know which local official was in trouble.
Lin Ye exchanged a few words with him and was led outside the scroll library.
Liao Xianwei said: "General Lin, just go in and investigate. If there is anything you need me to do, send someone to tell you and I will do my best to cooperate."
Lin Ye said: "I can just look for it myself, I won't bother Mr. Liao anymore."
Liao Xianwei said a few polite words, but towards Lin Ye's cold face, he just thought it was the domineering behavior of a successful young man.
After Lin Ye entered the document library, he asked his men to check according to the year.
Given Zinai's age, he could check old case files from five to ten years ago.
Zinai's family was wiped out. This was a major case. There will be a special place in the archives to store files on such major cases.
Soon, they found the place where the major case files were stored, and Lin Ye's men reviewed them separately, trying to find out the murder case.
From early morning to noon, I read more than half of the files in my life, but there was no incident of the family being exterminated.
Of course, Lin Ye would not give up. He asked his men to go out and buy some steamed buns at noon, and continued to rummage while eating.
Liao Xianwei brought someone to deliver the food, but Lin Ye just said politely and didn't eat.
At night, dozens of people looked through all the major case files, but still found nothing.
Not to mention that no family named Xie was exterminated, there was not even a single case of extermination.
This was absolutely impossible. It was so clean, but it made Lin Ye even more curious, and he felt more and more that the tragedy that happened at Zinai's house was definitely not simple.
When it was time to hold the lantern, Liao Xianwei came again and cautiously asked Lin Ye how long he would continue to search.
Lin Ye felt that it was indeed a little late, so he said, "Then I won't bother you."
Then he ordered his men: "Send people back to find carriages and horses, and move all the files in the archives back to the camp."
Liao was stunned for a moment and wanted to stop him, but in the end he didn't dare.
Wu Lingwei had just been established, and he didn't want to be the first person to come to Yunzhou to govern the government. His butt was not even hot yet. There was no need to lose his future because of offending Wu Lingwei.
If you want to find Lin Ye, just go find him. He is new here anyway, and no case has anything to do with him.
So instead of stopping him, he sent someone to call the government officials to help Wu Lingwei's people load the truck.
Since he wanted to investigate, and since he still had such a unique identity, Lin Ye simply emptied the entire library.
The news spread that night, and countless people couldn't sleep that night.
When Lin Ye emptied the vault of documents, the local officials in Yunzhou and the wealthy country gentry were all not afraid.
Who knows what Lin Ye is investigating, and who can save him if he is investigated?
Lin Ye asked people to search carefully in the files and mobilized hundreds of people to read them one by one.
But in the morning, nothing was found.
Lin Ye felt more and more that this matter was a bit bizarre. For such a big case, no one could just wipe it out.
Lin Ye regretted it at this time. If the former Yunzhou Prefecture's Jin Shengchang was still there, he might be able to ask something.
But Jin Shengchang had already accompanied Xie Yelan and was sent to Geling after being captured.
Xie Yelan's family was killed, and whether Jin Sheng died or not, Lin Ye didn't know. This man's identity as Lou Fan's spy had been exposed, and maybe the court would keep him for the time being.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye suddenly felt something in his heart.
Although Jin Shengchang was escorted to Geling, there are still some people under Jin Shengchang who are still in prison.
Lin Ye washed his face and went to Yunzhou Government Office again.
I came here yesterday and again today. Even Liao Xianwei felt that Lin Ye was trying to kill someone.
This time, Lin Ye went directly to the prison.
Jin Sheng was arrested twice, and all his subordinates in the Yamen were in bad luck.
After Xie Yelan came, he released Jin Shengchang, and Jin Shengchang's subordinates were also spared from prison.
After coming out, everyone was probably happy and felt that they had escaped disaster.
Who would have thought that not long after, they would be imprisoned again, and several of Jin Shengwang's cronies were sent to Geling together.
The remaining people, whether they were unjustly accused or not, until there is no clear order from the court, they can only continue to stay in this dark cage.
The local officials dare not kill these people indiscriminately, but they do not dare to release them indiscriminately.
When Lin Ye appeared, those people raised their heads one by one, their eyes empty, as if they didn't care who was coming.
It can be seen that each of these people is suffering from torture, and their bodies are dirty and smelly. They look at the forest leaves blankly, and some people simply curl up there and don't get up.
"Who among you has been with Jin Shengwen the longest?"
Lin Ye asked them after scanning around.
After these words were uttered, almost all those who were indifferent reacted. There was fear in their empty eyes, deep and boundless fear.
They were probably all thinking that it might be time to die.
When no one answered, Lin Ye said: "What I want to investigate is not Jin Shengwen's case, but an old case from the past. If any of you can help solve the case, I will find a way out for you."
Still no one spoke because they didn't believe what Lin Ye said.
Lin Ye was too lazy to say anything else, turned around and said, "Take them all back."
A group of people in embroidered scale robes strode forward, waiting for the jailer to open the cell door and escort all the ragged people out.
Returning to the Wulingwei camp, they were interrogated separately. Not long after, several people were brought to Lin Ye.
These people are so dirty that their true colors cannot be seen at all. They are even more miserable than those who have fled. Looking at their appearance now, who can tell that they once had rich clothes and fine food? They were also noble in the world?
Pang Panghai walked to Lin Ye, pointed at those people and said, "After identifying each other, they were picked out. They were all those who had been following Jin Sheng for a relatively long time."
Lin Ye asked: "Who has followed Jin Sheng for ten years?"
Those few people lowered their heads and did not dare to agree casually.
Lin Ye pointed to the one on the edge: "Take this out and chop it."
Pang Panghai will step forward immediately.
Among those people, the unkempt man kneeling in the middle suddenly raised his head: "General, there is no need to Wei Wei and them, they are just minor officials in the government office. If you need anything, just ask me, general."
Lin Ye looked at this person. Because he was so dirty, he couldn't tell his age or appearance at all.
"May I have your name?"
"Back to the general, my name is Mu Liuhuo. I used to be the seventh grade official in the government office and have been working in the government office for exactly ten years."
Lin Ye looked at Pang Panghai: "Go and remove the mud from him, wash and change clothes, and then bring him back to see me."
Pang Panghai responded and reached out to pull Mu Liuhuo. Mu Liuhuo said thank you and stood up on his own.
Lin Ye looked at this person. Even though he looked so dirty, he was not disgusting at all.
This man had his head lowered all the time, but his left hand kept making secrets. He was definitely an ordinary person.
