Shen You said: "Fu Bo has been in the Shen family for over a decade and has always been loyal, he is trustworthy."

  Upon hearing this, Yang Chengye nodded and said: "It seems that we must take action against Zhao the captain and Master Shi."

  "However, I have to trouble you for a few more days. I guarantee that within three days, this case will be investigated and the truth will be revealed."

  Shen You was moved and said: "Second brother, I believe in your ability, but as officials, you must be careful with everything."

  Yang Chengye frowned and said: "Big brother, are you suspecting..."

  Shen You's eyes flashed with anger and hatred, gritting his teeth as he said: "It's not suspicion, it's certainty. It was definitely him who did it."

  "As long as you learn from him, you will definitely gain something."

  As for Shen You's words, Yang Chengye neither confirmed nor denied them. In investigating the case, evidence is essential and one cannot make empty guesses; otherwise, it will give rise to preconceived notions. Even if there are suspicions, sufficient evidence is still necessary.

  Yang Chengye consoled Shen You for a while and left the prison cell, planning to go find Zhao the captain.

  He heard about Zhao's situation from Lao Tou. At that time, Zhao had been suspended and was staying at home due to the case, stopped by Zhang Jun.

  According to the address provided by Lao Tou, Yang Chengye found Zhao's house.

  Zhao Butou's surname is Zhao and his name is Four. He lives in the west of Jiaxing City, has not married a wife, has no children, only an old mother.

  When Yang Chengye found Zhao Si's home, Zhao Si was not at home, only his old mother was alone at home.

  "Excuse me, madam, is Captain Zhao at home?"

  Yang Chengye asked Zhao Si's mother.

  "Who are you? My son has been gone for two days now. Go find him at the county yamen."

  Zhao Si's mother was still doing needlework and replied indifferently.

  Yang Chengye sat down beside Zhao Si's mother and asked, "Auntie, don't misunderstand, Captain Zhao helped me retrieve my lost silver a few days ago, I'm here today to thank him specially."

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Si's mother stopped what she was doing and stared at Yang Chengye with a pair of dull eyes.

  "Don't talk nonsense, will Zhao Si help you get back your silver? He won't even lift a finger for himself, let alone for others."

  Zhao Si's mother finished speaking and then ignored Yang Chengye. No matter what Yang Chengye said, she pretended not to hear it. Yang Chengye had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

  Zhao Si is not in the government office, this is something Yang Chengye has known for a long time. Now he's not at home either, where could he have gone?

  Yang Chengye walked and thought, unknowingly it had already been sunset.

  Gulu gulu

  Suddenly, Yang Chengye's stomach growled, and it was only then that he remembered he hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day.

  In the morning, I met Zhou Botong and had a contest with him. Then I practiced the inner strength technique of the Quanzhen Sect. In the afternoon, I was busy again and forgot about it.

  "It smells so good!"

  At this time, a fragrance wafted over, and Yang Chengye smelled it, becoming even more hungry and impatient.

  Following the fragrance, Yang Chengye found a small wine house.

  The restaurant is not very big, with only two floors, but there are many customers coming to eat.

  Yang Chengye walked into the wine building, and a small second came forward, shouting: "Guest officer, you have arrived, please follow me!"

  The shopkeeper led Yang Chengye to a seat near the window and asked, "Sir, would you like some of our specialty dishes?"

  Yang Chengye nodded and said, "Good, bring a few specialty dishes."

  "Welcome, sir."

  The shop assistant wiped the table while saying: "We have good wine from Shen's winery, would you like some?"

  Yang Chengye asked curiously: "Is Shen's family wine very good?"

  "The young shopkeeper smiled and said: 'Sir, you don't know this, but the latest wine brewed by the Shen family can be said to have no predecessors or successors, comparable to divine wine.'"

  "How much does it cost?"

  Yang Chengye continued to ask.

  The shopkeeper replied, "This is a bit expensive, ten cents for one corner."

  When he heard this, Yang Chengye was stunned for a moment. He never expected that the wine he brewed would be so expensive, it's already sky-high price.

  To know that the best wine on the market is only two cents a catty, I didn't expect that my own brewed wine could sell for ten cents a catty.

  "Okay, give me half a catty."

  Yang Chengye said to the shopkeeper.

  "Alright, sir, please wait a moment!"

  The shopkeeper's assistant responded with a "yes" and left excitedly.

  Yang Chengye had just sat down when two more people sat down at the next table.

  "Have you heard? There's been a double suicide on East Street - a man and a woman, both hanged themselves. The woman was even pregnant, three lives lost in an instant, it's truly tragic!"

  "I also heard that the man is Zhao Si, the captain of the prefectural yamen."

  When he heard this, Yang Chengye was suddenly shocked: Zhao Si is dead?

  "Second Master, do you know where they died?"

  Yang Chengye got up and came to the two men's side, asking.

  One of the men looked at Yang Chengye and said: "It was on East Street, Fenglai Alley, he..."

  The man had not finished speaking when Yang Chengye rushed out, causing a commotion among the diners.

  "Sir, you..."

  The shopkeeper stood at the end of the wine counter in the wine building, shouting at Yang Chengye's back.

  Yang Chengye walked through two big streets and arrived at Dong Street Fenglai Alley as the man had said.

  At this time, Fenglai Alley was already surrounded by yamen catchers and pedestrians were prohibited from entering.

  Yang Chengye arrived and was also intercepted by the quick-witted captors.

  "A murder has taken place inside! No one is allowed in!"

  Two constables blocked Yang Chengye's path and shouted loudly.

  Yang Chengye took out the jade pendant given to him by Zhang Jun and said in a cold voice, "By order of Lord Ping, I am investigating this case. No one is allowed to interfere."

  Two catchers looked at the jade pendant in Yang Chengye's hand and said, "It turned out to be Master Yang. Forgive us for being blind to your identity. Please come in."

  Yang Chengye put away his jade pendant and walked through two catchers into Fenglai Alley, Zhao Si's home.

  This is another residence of Zhao Si, where he kept his mistress. All along, Zhao Si had been keeping this other residence a secret from his mother.

  Zhao Si's reputation was not good. Before becoming a catcher, Zhao Si was just a street rascal who would swindle and cheat without any scruples.

  Later, he finally met a cruel fate and was beaten half to death. He was rescued by Wang An, who had just taken office as the county magistrate. From then on, Zhao Si followed Wang An and became his trusted subordinate. Later, Wang An appointed him as the head of the capture team.

  When Yang Chengye walked into Zhao Si's house, Wang An was leading several catchers to inspect the scene. Two corpses, one male and one female, were placed on the floor of the living room, and a coroner was examining the bodies.

  "Master Wang has arrived early!"

  When he saw Wang An, Yang Chengye was the first to greet him.

  Upon hearing this, Wang An turned around and looked at Yang Chengye, frowning: "Young Master Yang, why aren't you investigating the famine relief grain case? What are you doing here at a murder scene?"

  Yang Chengye said in a low voice: "I am investigating the case of disaster relief grain, and this Zhao Si is a key figure in the case. I didn't expect him to be dead!"

  "However, Lord Wang arrived quite quickly!"

  Wang An raised an eyebrow and said, "This prefecture is the Jiaxing Prefecture, a murder case has occurred and it's only natural that I should come to investigate, what's so strange about that?"

  As for Wang An's words, Yang Chengye neither confirmed nor denied them, and directly went to the side of the corpse.

  The doctor was busy fussing over something Yang Chengye didn't recognize.
