Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 364 Start Bribing Him

When he found out, it is no exaggeration to say that Chen Yi felt that his bones were petrified.

But now the attitude of these people is too ambiguous.

It seems to be afraid of myself, but I can't get up hard, and I am very contradictory in doing things, and the attitude of back and forth is too strange.

Chen Yi didn't know what was hidden in it.

He just wants to get out of here after this matter is settled, and he has other tasks on his body.

So Chen Yi's current plan is to wait for people from the yamen to tell them what he knows, and let the people in the yamen solve the rest.

"Since you all agree, I won't waste any more time and ask my people to report the case to the nearest county government."

The second uncle immediately nodded and responded: "My lord, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate and not waste your time. It's just this previous offense to your lord. These are a little heart from our village. Please accept it."

After speaking, he winked at the village head's son, who immediately took out a book from his arms and put it on the table. Chen Yi was a little surprised.

What is this book for yourself?
So he picked it up directly, flipped through it, and saw several bank notes in the book.

Chen Yi didn't see the denomination clearly, but he was very surprised in his heart. He didn't expect to encounter bribes.

Not exactly, I can only say that this second uncle is not simple!

They kidnapped him before, knowing that they had made an enemy with him, but now they tied Chen Yi to their own boat without stopping, turning from an enemy to their own.

Reversed their situation, powerful.

Chen Yi put the book back on the table, pretended not to understand and asked, "What does this mean?"

The second uncle immediately said with a smile on his face: "Don't be angry, my lord. I know that your lord is a bright and bright man, but we did make mistakes first, which frightened you. These are just to make up for your lord. There is no other meaning, and this Only part of it."

The second uncle observed Chen Yi's expression while talking.

"Everyone in our village is ashamed. I was so rude to you before, but I never thought that you would be so tolerant and trace the murderer for us. We admire this kindness, so we will never forget your kindness in the future. of."

The second uncle pushed the book on the table in Chen Yi's direction again.

"These are just small thoughts, sir, please don't refuse, otherwise we will really feel ashamed."

Chen Yi saw that what the second uncle said was sincere, and his expression was very good, and he knew in his heart that some people might have some calculations, if he didn't accept it.

It is estimated that they can't figure out their plan.

Chen Yi nodded when he thought of this, and picked up the book with his hands: "I know, I just said that I won't embarrass you, I don't care, you just don't believe it, then I accept your apology, this Now you can rest assured!"

Chen Yi pretended to have a satisfied smile on his face, looking at the second uncle and the others.

Seeing that Chen Yi accepted it, the second uncle narrowed his eyes, and continued politely.

"My lord's previous suggestion was very good. We are stingy. Now we understand that your lord has a lot of things to do every day. You must be busy with many things. How can you delay your lord because of such a trivial matter as the village chief, right, your lord."

Chen Yi understood what the second uncle said, and he nodded calmly in agreement.

"That's right, I've been here for such a long time, but this case happened when I was here. If I don't care about it at all, it won't make sense, or should I wait for the result?"

Hearing what Chen Yi said, the second uncle's face froze for a moment, and then he resumed his smiling face.

"Your Excellency is so considerate of the people, it is a blessing for our people, but you also know that we are a small village here, and there are not many people. This matter is already big enough. Make trouble, my lord, look..."

The second uncle said, and the son of the village chief who was standing next to him took out a book again.

Chen Yi smiled inwardly. This was the first time he encountered such a thing, and it still felt very novel.

In the past, other people hid as far away as possible, for fear that he would take money from them, but now that someone delivered it directly to the door, he guessed that the money might come from somewhere.

Hold it now, let's talk about it when the time comes, the most important thing is to find out the hidden things in this village.

Chen Yi nodded seriously, and said solemnly: "Okay, since you have already decided in this way, I don't think it would be good to make things worse, besides, there will always be pedestrians like us who rest in heavy rain, right? .”

The second uncle immediately stood up and saluted Chen Yi: "Thank you for your understanding, sir."

After negotiating, they sent someone to report the case to the nearest county government office together with Tang Si.

But before leaving, Tang Si and Chen Yi said that the nearest county government office is about half a day's journey away from this village. He is starting now, and it is estimated that he will arrive at noon the next day.

It might be the third day when he came back, Chen Yi nodded after knowing it.

A little worried, he asked Tang Wu to go with him, and at the same time told Tang Si to pay attention to safety on the road and not to be ambushed.

After they left, the second uncle proposed to dispose of the village head's body, so it couldn't be kept in the house all the time.

Although the current temperature is relatively low, it is not an option to leave it like this.

It was reasonable for Chen Yi to think about it, and he agreed with them to move the village head's body to the side room of their family ancestral hall as a morgue, waiting for the arrival of the yamen servant.

Of course, the death of the village chief still needs to be investigated, but Chen Yi already had a rough inference in his mind.

It's just that I can't figure it out in some places.

It's like a jigsaw puzzle with a few missing pieces that can't be put together. Chen Yi found the village chief's son and asked him to send someone to take him around the village. The village chief's son sent him a prescription.

Chen Yi wandered around all the places he could visit.

There are not many people in this village, but the place is very large, and each household has a lot of land. At least on the surface, it looks like a person living on land and crops.

There's nothing unusual about it, if it weren't for this, Tang Si wouldn't have been fooled.

After wandering around, Chen Yi didn't find anything new, so he had to go back.

Chen Yi came directly to Fang Xuan's room. Fang Xuan stood reading a book, but did not pick up his favorite herbs.

"You went out for a walk, what did you find?"

Chen Yi shook his head with a bitter face, took out the two books that his second uncle had given him, and handed them to Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan cast a glance, but did not move.
