Vol 4 Chapter 918: Li Guisuo

Mrs. Tian hesitated before saying carefully: "Hou Ye, I took a calming pill. Do you want to ... Do you want to give her two pills?"
"Oh?" Qi Ning thought that it was so dare to feel good, and nodded: "Then you will be labored."
These days, it is finally possible to do a small thing for Qi Ning. Mrs. Tian rejoiced and hurriedly said: "Then I will take the medicine now." It seems that this is an unparalleled event, and quickly go back to the house to get medicine.
Wei Yujiang came over at this time and whispered: "Hou Ye rests early. If Dongyang County Commander comes, he can explain his inferiority to him."
Although he was only the chief judge of the Autumn Trial Department of the Criminal Ministry, he was still much higher than a county magistrate.
Qi Ning shook his head and said, "I can't sleep for a while, I just think it's a little weird."
"Hou Ye said that woman's words?"
"She said that her husband was taken by Li Gui, what exactly did Li Gui mean?" Qi Ning thought about it: "Is she imagining, or did she see something she shouldn't see. Wei Sishen, only then You also saw that when the woman mentioned Li Gui, she was trembling all over. It was the fear of going deep into the bone marrow. It seemed to leave a terrible memory in her mind. "
"Hou Ye said ... maybe what the woman said is true?" Wei Yujiang was slightly surprised.
Qi Ning said: "I am not good at judging, after all, she is unconscious. As you said, it is impossible to judge whether she is cranky or true."
"If it is true, can she really see Li Gui?" Wei Yujiang frowned. "Hou Ye, was it when his husband was dying that he was sent by the ghost but was seen by her?"
Qi Ning froze for a moment, thinking how do you say such nonsense, how could there really be a ghost? But I suddenly realized that this is a different era after all. From top to bottom, I still quite believe in ghosts and spirits. Although Wei Yujiang is a member of the government, he is ultimately responsible for the times and believes in ghosts and spirits.
Qi Ning smiled slightly and whispered: "Actually, I don't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and I don't speak strangely, and the so-called ghosts are nothing more than human hearts."
Wei Yujiang nodded slightly, not much to say.
The two did not wait too long in the inn. About half an hour later, Wu Dalin had brought the Dongyang county magistrate over. The Dongyang county magistrate was wearing an official robe. As soon as he entered the inn, he saw Qi Ning sitting on a chair , Turned his head to look at Wu Dalin, Wu Dalin nodded slightly, Dongyang County Commander immediately trot forward, knelt in front of Qi Ning, Bi Gongdi respectfully said: "Xiaguan Dongyang County Commander Mengda, see Hou Ye!" The scalp was attached to the ground, Very respectful.
A local magistrate in every district is different from the hereditary status of the empire. It is naturally terrifying to see Jin Yiwei here tonight.
Qi Ning raised his hand and said: "Mengzhi County, get up and talk."
Dongyang County Commander Meng Da hurriedly stood up and stood sideways, Qi Ning watched him in his early fifties, he was fat, and he had a black beard under his jaw, indicating that Meng Da would sit down beside him. The officials do n’t dare, the officials do n’t dare! "
Qi Ning is not nonsense, and asked immediately: "Mengzhi County, there is something here to be given to you to do. You will take the people away and send someone to investigate."
Mengzhi County was confused and didn't know what Qi Ning meant, but still said: "Yes, yes, Xiaguan will do his best."
"Do you know what it is?" Qi Ning asked, staring at him.
Mengzhi County embarrassedly said: "Xiaguan does not know, but the errands explained by Hou Ye, Xiaguan, even if it is going up the sword and going down the fire, will certainly do its best."
Qi Ning smiled faintly, and looked at Wei Yujiang, and Wei Yujiang said: "Mengzhi County, we found a woman here. Her husband disappeared and took her child to look around. I heard that her child died of illness. This woman I ca n’t be stimulated, so I ’m crazy. But why is her husband missing? As a local parent officer, you always have to investigate.

Mengzhi County busy said: "Hou Ye is talking about this? Xiaguan ... Xiaguan knows this."
"Know this?" Qi Ning frowned. "Since I know, why didn't I investigate?"
Mengzhi County immediately said: "Returning to Houye, more than a month ago, the woman went to the Yamen, claiming that her husband was arrested by someone ... No, that woman said that her husband was a ghost Grab it, beg Xiaguan to make the decision for her, and get her husband back. "Spread his hands and look awkward:" Hou Ye, the woman started talking nonsense at the beginning, Xiaguan ... how about Xiaguan Help her find and carefully cross-examine, she can't say anything, only that her husband was caught by Li Gui ............ "
"Is her child still there?"
"Yes, three or four-year-old baby." Mengzhi County said: "Xiaguan then asked her to go back with the child first, wait for her to understand and then come to report the case, and then .... Then someone sent her out of the county government office. . "
"Send it?" Qi Ning stared sharply at Mengzhi County.
Mengzhi County chilled and said: "Xiaguan .... Xiaguan only thought she was fooling around, so she was sent to drive her out."
Qi Ning snorted and asked, "Have she ever been to Yamen again?"
"This ...!" Meng Zhixian hesitated a little, and Wu Dalin said in a cold voice: "Hou Ye asked, but he didn't answer it honestly?" He used to be the deputy commander of the Royal Yulin Camp. Local magistrates put it in their eyes.
Mengzhi County did not dare to hide, and immediately said: "Returning to Houye, then the woman went two or three more times, but Xiaguan only thought that she was nonsense, so ..... she never let her enter the government office."
"Do you know the origin of the woman?" Wei Yujiang asked beside her: "Since she went to the government office of Dongyang County, she is naturally from Dongyang County. Where is her family and what family members can you send someone to check?"
"Xiaguan ...!" Mengzhi County's forehead sweated, bowing his head and daring to speak.
Wei Yujiang frowned and said: "As a parent official, no matter how big or small you are, you should send someone to investigate the ins and outs of the matter, even if the woman is talking nonsense, you should always make clear why she said Such ridiculous words? "
Meng Da threw himself down on his knees, panicking and said: "Xiaguan dereliction of duty, he should be guilty of death, beg him to forgive him."
"Mengzhi County, Ben Hou will not cure your sins today, and give you the opportunity to atone for your sins." Qi Ning said lightly: "Tonight, you took the woman away and figured out the ins and outs of this matter. You will come back and ask you in detail about the case. If you ca n’t give Ben Hou a satisfactory answer, then do n’t blame Ben Hou for turning up ruthlessly. "
Meng Da hurriedly said: "Xiaguan will definitely do his utmost to investigate the matter clearly."
"You wait here for a while." Qi Ning got up: "When she finishes eating, you will take her away."
"Yes, yes." Meng Da got up and saw Qi Ning was about to leave, suddenly said: "Hou Ye, Xiaguan ... There is one thing about Xiaguan, I don't know what to say or what to say."
"Oh?" Qi Ning asked: "What's the matter?"
Meng Da thought for a while, and then said: "Although Xiaguan did not investigate this case, but ... but has been pursuing several other cases."
Qi Ning sat down again and asked, "What are the cases you said about? What is the relationship with this woman?"
"Going back to Lord Hou, all those cases are also missing cases." Meng Da cautiously said: "From the previous year until this year, there were a total of five or six such cases, without exception, there were people Somehow suddenly disappeared, nowhere to be found. "
Qi Ning and Wei Yujiang glanced at each other, and they both felt that there must be something wrong with it. Qi Ning had already asked: "You mean there have been missing cases since the previous year?"
"Going back to Hou Ye, in June last year, someone ran to Yamen to make a report. It was an old couple whose son suddenly fell unaccounted for one night." Meng Da recalled: "Xiaguan still remembers that they have been saying The sons are all sunrise and sunset, and they are very obedient. At that time, they have decided on the family, and they saw that the family is close, but the child did not come out one morning. This thing never happened. They went into the room to see the bed. There are still traces of sleeping, but the child is gone. "
Qi Ning frowned, and Wei Yujiang had asked: "What happened later?"
"The old couple was looking around at the moment, but they searched the whole village, even in their own fields, and there was no trace." Meng Dadao said: "In that way, after searching for four or five days, there was no news, it seemed to be human. Evaporation, and all relatives and friends have never seen the whereabouts of the child. There is really no way to find the county government office. "
"How old is that child?" Wei Yujiang asked.
Meng Dadao: "At that time, I was 17 years old, because I was a farmer, but I was also strong."
"Seventeen?" Wei Yujiang thought deeply and continued to ask: "Can you send someone to investigate?"
"At that time, the frontline battles were unsettled, and all localities were preparing food supplies to supply frontline battles." Meng Dadao said: "All the energy of Xiaguan is focused on the preparation of food charges. Unless it is a life-threatening case, some ordinary cases can only be withheld ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Although the missing case was bizarre, the people in the government office could not find it, so ...! "
Qi Ning could also be considerate. After all, the Chu Kingdom was fighting with the Northern Han Dynasty in Qinhuai. At that time, the battle was furious. Both sides naturally needed the supply of grain and grass from the rear. The local government raised funds for the front and naturally did not have much energy to deal with other matters.
"What about the other cases?" Wei Yujiang asked.
Meng Da was busy: "Several other cases are the same, and all of them are strangely missing, and then all evaporate like the world, and there is nowhere to go. I received the fifth case at the end of last year. Several similar cases were found together and the case was investigated. "
"Then you can investigate the clues?"
Meng Da embarrassedly said: "These officers were sent by the county's headhunters to pursue the case personally, but ... but until now, there is no clue."
Qi Ning looked at Wei Yujiang and asked, "Wei Sijian, do you think these cases are the same as the woman whose husband is missing today?"
Wei Yujiang thought for a while and then said: "Hou Ye, even if it is not the same group of people, it must be of great relevance." When he thought of it, he immediately asked Meng Da: "Meng Zhixian, are the missing people all of them? male?"
"Exactly." Meng Da replied: "The youngest sixteen years old and the largest twenty-seven years old are all strong young men."
"Can other people mention Li Guisuo?"
Meng Da shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. Others were only discovered after the man disappeared, and almost all of them disappeared in the middle of the night." After a pause, he continued: "Only that woman ... Claiming that her husband was taken away by Li Gui, Xiaguan ... Xiaguan feels just nonsense, talking nonsense. "
