A Young Woman's Report!
"Magistrate, these are the eggs laid by the old hen at home. You can keep them to fry and go with the wine.”
A few days later, Wu Song sent Yang Yi a basket of eggs, which surprised Yang Yi. He thought to himself," This straightforward young man actually knows how to give gifts."
Yang Yi was leisurely drinking tea. He looked at the eggs in the basket and smiled.
"You're so thoughtful. Just put it on the table!”
Yang Yi wanted to refuse, but he still accepted it after thinking about it.
Wu Song was not a rash person. Since he gave him eggs, Wu Dalang must have some at home.
"Yes, sir!"
Wu Song respectfully placed the egg on the table and was about to leave. He knew that Yang Yi did not like to be disturbed.
"Wait a minute. You've performed well during this period of time. You should officially take on the responsibility of being the head of the city. From now on, you will lead seventy-five people and be responsible for the safety of the county.
Zhang An, come over."
Realizing that Wu Song understood his habits, he planned to leave immediately.
Yang Yi called out to him and decided to let Wu Song officially assume the position of head of the capital.
As such, Wu Song's authority increased by several times.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Hearing that he was officially the head of the Yanggu County Yamen, Wu Song was very happy and thanked Yang Yi loudly with excitement.
He had been studying hard all this while. Now that he had finally become an official city head, he was extremely happy.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
Hearing Yang Yi's call, Zhang An hurriedly ran in and bowed to obey.
Yang Yi didn't waste any time and asked Zhang An to bring Wu Song to County Lieutenant Zhu Yong to receive the official documents.
This was a happy occasion. Zhang An congratulated Wu Song and left with him.
This made Wu Song very happy and even more grateful to Yang Yi.
With enough manpower, he could get more people to investigate in secret and find the culprit who plotted against Wu Dalang.
The affairs of the county government were proceeding in an orderly manner, and the city wall was already under construction. There was nothing major at the moment.
Yang Yi would drink some tea every day to relax.
"Magistrate, a woman has come to beat the drum to report the case.”
Yang Yi had only been relaxed for a few days when a case finally came to him again. He was surprised to hear that it was a woman who reported the case.
He brought Xing Tong to the county office and found that the bailiffs had already stood at their posts, waiting for him to come and try the case.
"Bring the informant here."
Yang Yi ordered with a serious expression as he sat down in the hall.
A case that could be brought to him was obviously a big case or the person who brought the case had some influence. Otherwise, Xing Tong, Wu Song, the registrar, and the county lieutenant could handle it.
When the case was closed, he would just have to sign it.
The bailiffs received the order and immediately sent out a message to bring the person who complained to them.
A moment later, a young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old was brought to Yang Yi.
This woman had red lips, white teeth, and a beautiful appearance. She looked quite beautiful.
However, Yang Yi had seen too many beautiful women, so he did not feel much about it.
"Who are you?"
Seeing that it was a woman who had come to complain, Yang Yi slapped the gavel and asked with a serious expression.
The woman under your mother was quite nervous.
"Reporting…reporting to my lord, this woman is Zhao Xiangyan, the fabric dealer of the Zhao family.”
It seemed like this was the first time the woman surnamed Zhao went to the yamen to complain. She seemed very nervous when she saw Yang Yi's serious expression.
"Zhao Xiangyan, why did you complain? Tell me the details."
Yang Yi asked again after hearing that she was from the Zhao family's cloth shop.
She didn't look angry or hurt, but rather nervous.
"Milord, last night, the moon was bright. I noticed someone walking around outside my window with ill intentions!”
Seeing Yang Yi's gaze fall on her, Zhao Xiangyan replied with a panicked expression. She did not seem to be lying.
After saying that, he looked at Yang Yi with a pleading gaze, hoping that he could help deal with it.
"Someone is walking outside your window in the middle of the night? How did you know?"
After hearing the woman's words, a strange look flashed across Yang Yi's eyes. Then, he asked in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on Zhao Xiangyan's face.
If that was the case, it would indeed be illogical.
"Milord, because of the bright moonlight, I saw a figure swaying outside the window several times and heard footsteps!”
Zhao Xiangyan hurriedly explained the entire situation to Yang Yi. Only then did Yang Yi understand why she had reported the case.
"Did it just happen last night, or has it happened before?”
Yang Yi continued to ask when he heard someone shaking outside the window in the middle of the night. It was indeed quite scary.
This case piqued his curiosity and he decided to delve deeper into it.
"He has appeared these past two nights! Your Excellency, you must seek justice for me!”
Zhao Xiangyan seemed to be frightened by the black shadow, and her tone was pleading.
After hearing Zhao Xiangyan's words, Yang Yi did not respond immediately.
"Get a physician to see if this woman is mentally sound!”
Hearing that there were shadows in the middle of the night, Yang Yi decided to see if the woman had any mental problems and if she was hallucinating.
After all, these things happened in the middle of the night. He couldn't just casually move out in the middle of the night.
"Yes, sir!"
Xing Tong received instructions and quickly found a physician to test Zhao Xiangyan.
After a round of examination, it was found that there was nothing wrong with the woman's mental state.
Hearing this, Yang Yi nodded his head and remained silent.
In an instant, the entire yamen fell silent.
"Tell me about the situation of the Zhao family's cloth shop. Tell me if you have any enemies recently!”
Yang Yi had learned some information about the Zhao's Cloth Shop from the taxes. Not only did this cloth shop have a large area of hemp land, but it also developed silkworms to make silk. It was a major tax collector in Yanggu County.
Yang Yi guessed that an enemy was secretly threatening him or wanted revenge.
"This little girl obeys. Sir, our Zhao family's clothing store has a history of several decades, and we've always been operating according to the law…"
Zhao Xiangyan didn't dare to hide anything and told him the details of the Zhao's Cloth Shop.
Basically, it was similar to what Yang Yi knew, and there were not many differences.
"Where is Xing Tong?"
After hearing the case, Yang Yi decided to go and take a look. The case was rather strange, and he became very interested.
"Your subordinate is here!"
Hearing Yang Yi's shout, Xing Tong hurriedly turned around and bowed respectfully.
"Bring some people with me to the Zhao family's cloth shop to take a look!”
Yang Yi decided to take a look at the strange case.
Not long after the order was given, more than ten bailiffs had arrived, ready to set off at any time.
"Zhao Xiangyan, lead the way. I want to see the situation personally.”
After making up his mind, Yang Yi immediately led his men to the Zhao's Cloth Shop.
Zhao Xiangyan naturally did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly led the way.
Fortunately, the Zhao's Cloth Shop was not too far from the county town. After half an hour, Yang Yi and the others arrived at the Zhao's Cloth Shop.
Through observation, Yang Yi found that there was indeed a Zhao Village here with a relatively large population.
The surrounding was filled with mulberry fields and hemp fields. It was flourishing and full of vitality.
As expected of a huge tax collector in Yanggu County.
"Leave four people behind to protect Milord's safety. The rest of you, go investigate the area.”
After arriving at the Zhao's Cloth Shop, Xing Tong immediately ordered the bailiffs to investigate without Yang Yi's instructions, hoping to find something.
Following that, Yang Yi was led by Zhao Xiangyan to Zhao Xiangyan's house.
He wanted to know the truth of the case.
