Soon, Su Liuyue walked to the room where they worked daily.

As yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture, they were out almost every day. That room was more of a place for them to rest when they occasionally returned to Jingzhao Prefecture than their office.

Therefore, there were only three large tables and a dozen benches in the room. At this time, Lu Route was sitting at the table near the door, looking down at something, surrounded by a group of his subordinates.

As soon as Su Liuyue walked into the room, he raised his head sharply. Seeing that it was her, he immediately stood up and said, "Miss Su San, you came at the right time. I was discussing Madam Mei's whereabouts during this period with other yamen runners..."

"No need to discuss this."

Su Liuyue interrupted him directly, walked up to the group of yamen runners, and said with a gloomy face: "Madam Mei has been to Jingzhao Prefecture before, and the murderer contacted her on her way to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

Everyone was slow to react. Lu Lu opened his eyes slightly and suddenly looked down at the information in his hand.

It did say that about half a month ago, Madam Mei did come to Jingzhao Prefecture to ask how to sue her husband for beating her! However, she did not enter Jingzhao Prefecture at that time. She only asked the yamen runner on duty at the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture. After learning that if the wife sued her husband, she would also be punished if the situation was true, she left with a pale face.

Because Madam Mei did not leave her name at that time, and the yamen runners on duty outside did not get involved in the case at first, they did not discover that she had actually been to Jingzhao Prefecture until they had conducted a detailed investigation of Madam Mei's whereabouts during that period.

Lu Lu asked quickly: "Miss Su San, why are you..."

"Not just Madam Mei."

Su Liuyue added: "Miss Zhong, I also met the murderer near Jingzhao Prefecture. The murderer is like a ghost wandering around Jingzhao Prefecture, specifically targeting the girls who come to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

There was an uproar among the people.

Sun Zhaoan asked in confusion: "Miss Su San, how do you know that Miss Zhong has been near Jingzhao Prefecture? But what information did you get?"

Obviously, the people they sent out to investigate Miss Zhong's whereabouts more than half a month ago have not sent back any news.

Su Liuyue shook her head and said, "I haven't got any information, but I am sure that when Miss Zhong disappeared more than half a month ago, she had been near Jingzhao Prefecture!

At that time, Miss Chunxia told us that before Miss Zhong disappeared, she heard a few women not far away discussing the court's encouragement of establishing female households. She was attracted by their conversation and was distracted for a moment.

During that period, it was indeed when the decree proposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to encourage the establishment of female households came down, many women heard about it and came to Jingzhao Prefecture to inquire about the details. "

As people from Jingzhao Prefecture, they naturally knew about this matter.

Because there were so many people coming to ask questions, Lu Shaoyin even set up a table in front of the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture, and had people take turns to be on duty there every day to answer questions and resolve doubts for those who came to ask questions.

Su Liuyue continued, "At that time, Miss Chunxia heard what those women said. How could Miss Zhong, who was right beside Miss Chunxia, ​​not hear it?"

Route's brain seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden, and he said, "Miss Su San means that Miss Zhong is very interested in this decree of the imperial court, so when she disappeared, she came to Jingzhao Prefecture to inquire about this decree?"

"But, that's not right!"

Chen Wanjin suddenly said in a rough voice: "In order to investigate this case, almost all the yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture were mobilized. Miss Zhong's dress that day was so eye-catching. If she had been to Jingzhao Prefecture, the people on duty that day would not have failed to recognize her!" Chen Wanjin was previously working on another case and was urgently transferred here.

The other yamen runners also said, "Yes, if I had seen Miss Zhong, I would definitely not forget it! Besides, she came to ask about the law, there is no need for her to leave her maid and come alone, right?"

"Moreover, Miss Zhong is a criminal. She doesn't even have freedom. How can she set up a household on her own?"

Su Liuyue was not in a hurry to answer. After they finished talking, she said calmly, "It's true that Miss Zhong is a criminal, but she always longs for freedom. She once said that she hopes to see with her own eyes whether the court of Daqing is really better than Dayan, and whether it can allow the people to live a peaceful and happy life.

The people she was talking about did not include herself?
She knew in her heart that it would be impossible for her to live a normal life in this lifetime, but she was unwilling to accept that. When she heard that the imperial court actually encouraged the establishment of female households, her unwillingness reached its peak.

Miss Chunxia said that Miss Zhong cried that day and kept muttering why she was the only one who was abandoned.

Her behavior at that time was indeed due to stimulation, but the one who stimulated her was not Miss Zhong’s acquaintance as we thought before, but... other women who were similar to her but had a bright future. "

It was obvious that those women, like her, had suffered a lot during this dynasty change, and might have been forced into an extremely desperate situation like her.

However, they were not abandoned by the court after all. The court of Daqing was thinking about them and was willing to guide them to a better future.

Unlike her, no matter how hard she struggled, no one could save her.

She was not wrong. The court of Daqing was indeed unlike that of Dayan. It was a court that was willing to seek benefits for the people. It was just that she was not qualified to be a citizen of Daqing.

As Su Liuyue continued to speak, everyone couldn't help but fall silent.

Su Liuyue finally sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Zhong didn't leave alone on purpose, but she was hit hard at the time and didn't have time to say anything, so she left in a hurry and headed for Jingzhao Prefecture.

However, although she came to Jingzhao Prefecture because of her unwillingness, she knew rationally that she was not qualified to enjoy the decree, so she did not go forward to ask, and our partners in Jingzhao Prefecture had no impression of her. "

After hearing what Su Liuyue said, Lu Lu immediately said, "Send someone to ask the shops near Jingzhao Prefecture to see if they saw a woman in white wearing a veil wandering around Jingzhao Prefecture more than half a month ago!"

Chunxia once said that when Miss Zhong disappeared, she was wearing a beige dress.

Previously, they mainly went to the places that Miss Zhong had visited more than half a month ago to inquire. Although Qingfeng Bookstore was near Jingzhao Prefecture, it was still some distance away from here. They had never thought that Miss Zhong might have come to Jingzhao Prefecture!
Immediately several yamen runners stood up, answered, and hurried out.

Feng Dali suddenly slammed the table and gritted his teeth and said, "That bastard is so bold! He actually dared to come to our place to find his target. He doesn't take us seriously at all!

Ordinary girls would not come to our Jingzhao Prefecture unless they were really desperate.

He actually targeted these poor and vulnerable girls. He is totally inhumane!"

Su Liuyue sneered and said, "This kind of mentality is already that of a twisted murderer, and it cannot be measured by ordinary people's thinking. Simply put, he lives in his own world and can no longer correctly view the people and things around him.

Moreover, in some ways, he is very smart. Such women are most likely to open their hearts to him and be deceived by his hypocritical appearance. " (End of this chapter)
