Chapter 58

Yu Youde!
There was a name that Fang Mu was very familiar with, but he couldn't find it in another population book.

Fang Mu couldn't be more familiar with this name, it was none other than Yuzhi County of Jinglong County.

"What does this mean? Is Yuzhi County related to this incident?" Qing Ruowu took a look, and a strange guess arose.

Fang Mu shook his head and said, "Everything has not been decided yet, are the other names the murder cases that have appeared in Meng County before?"

In fact, whether it is Yu County magistrate, Fang Mu has been biased to determine, but it is not yet time to make a decision.

Familiar with his various actions, including preparing to murder himself in the ghost city, the person behind the scenes should not be far from Jinglong County.

Now that the county magistrate popped up, Fang Mu's conjecture was further deepened.

"These people are all from Meng County, and they were also involved in the murder case." Qing Ruowu took over the population register, checked it, and confirmed: "That's right, after the last time it was over, I'll take a closer look." After reviewing the previous murder cases, I remember it clearly, but I forgot about the household registration.”

"That is to say, only Yuzhi County is alive." Fang Mu rubbed his chin and asked thoughtfully, "Is Yuzhi County from Meng County?"

The name appeared in the population book of Meng County, but Yuzhi County was the county magistrate of Jinglong County. It could be that Yu Zhixian was not a native of Jinglong County.

Qing Ruowu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I haven't checked this carefully, because it hasn't been long since the last time, and I don't have time to check it carefully."

Fang Mu put away the population booklet, got up and walked to the door, looking at the moon in the sky.

"Let's do this." Qing Ruowu came to Fang Mu's side and said, "I'm going to call the little official in charge of compiling the census, and ask carefully. It should still be there."

"Still there?" Fang Mu mused, "No need, let's go directly without delay."

Qing Ruowu nodded, and thought of another question, said: "Should we go to Jinglong County first, Yuzhi County may still be there."

"No." Fang Mu shook his head, and said, "If he is really what I guessed, he probably won't be here long ago."

If it was really him who was behind the scenes, he probably had already discovered what Fang Mu and others were doing in Jinglong County, and he might be plotting something now.

When they went out, they first went to the yamen office of the county government office to find out the way, and then they went to the residence of the small official who compiled the population register.

……

In front of the wooden house, Fang Mu reached out and knocked on the door.

"coming."

After a long time, there was a rustling sound, and the door opened from the inside.

A middle-aged man in gray cloth opened the door, and after seeing Qing Ruowu, he said in a daze, "My lord, it's so late, you are..."

During this period of time, Qing Ruowu hadn't been in the county government office for a day or two, so the little official naturally knew her.

"Is it convenient?" Qing Ruowu glanced into the room, with a serious face, said: "I have something important to do."

The little official nodded repeatedly, welcomed the three of them in, brought them to the living room and sat down.

"My lord, what is the important matter here?" The little official was about to pour water, but was stopped by Qing Ruowu.

Qing Ruowu glanced at Fang Mu and made a wink.

Tie Suanxian didn't speak either, and the old god was sitting there.

Both of them were waiting for Fang Mu to make a decision, but each had different ideas.

Qing Ruowu became focused on Fang Mu unconsciously because of doing things together several times, and because of Fang Mu's actions.

Tie Suanxian is different, as a hardworking person in the market, he is more tactful.

Who is the strongest now, of course it is Fang Mu.

Don't do things that overwhelm the host. If you want to do well, you must have the mentality of a tool person.

Fang Mu tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "Do you know Yu Youde?"

The clerk was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "When the villain accompanied the magistrate to do household registration statistics, I did have an impression."

Fang Mu frowned, and said, "I thought of it so soon?"

The little official's answer was almost without hesitation. After such a long time, the household registration population compiled at the beginning was so large, why did he think of it as soon as he mentioned it.

The little official suddenly said: "Your Excellency doesn't know something, it's because Yu Youde impressed the villain too deeply, the villain has never seen such a miserable person."

"Miserable?" Fang Mu's eyes narrowed: "How miserable?"

The little official organized his language, and said in a straightforward manner: "An official fan, he seemed to be in his twenties at the time, and his wife and children were separated."

Official fans?Wife separated?
Fang Mu pondered for a moment, then asked, "When was the registration of Yu Youde in this census?"

"About 20 years ago."

"Hasn't registered again in 20 years?"

"Registered, my lord."

"How is the result?"

"Well... I remember that Yu Youde left Meng County 15 years ago."

The little official answered Fang Mu's questions one by one, sweating on his brow.

He is a small official, and now he is completely confused.

Fang Mu turned his head, looked at Qing Ruowu, and said, "When did Yu Youde become an official in Jinglong County? When did Zhang Zhi County take office?"

Qing Ruowu thought for a while and replied, "It should all be ten years ago."

Ten years ago...

Fang Mu thought to himself: "In other words, there is a five-year vacancy period."

In the past five years, Yu Youde left Meng County without knowing where he went, without any clues.

Fang Mu looked at the little official again, and said solemnly: "After he left, is there anything related to him?"

The little official shook his head, expressing that he didn't know, then suddenly seemed to think of something, and said respectfully: "By the way, my lord, I think of something."

Fang Mu said, "What's the matter?"

"After Yu Youde's wife and children were separated, he was struggling to make a living alone." The little official said quickly, "He couldn't even afford to eat, so he went to the Fire Phoenix Forest to eat the fire phoenix fruit he grew himself."

"Fire Phoenix fruit grown by myself?" Fang Mu frowned, "What do you mean?"

The little official hurriedly said: "Because of the poverty of Meng County, the previous magistrate organized the people to plant fire phoenix trees, and promised that the plants would be his own. At that time, Yu Youde was still young, and his parents planted several trees. But it's a pity..."

"Later, Yu Youde's parents died of illness, and Yu Youde only wanted to be an official examiner, so he neglected to take care of him. Those trees were already withered, but because they were the first batch of trees, the county magistrate also kept them as a souvenir."

Fang Mu stood up and got what he wanted.

The little official was taken aback by Fang Mu's actions, and he was obedient and didn't dare to speak out.

"what happened?"

"Go, go to a place to have a look."

Fang Mu took the lead out the door and walked towards a place.

Qing Ruowu and Tie Suanxian had no doubts, and followed Fang Mu out of the house.

On the dark street, Fang Mu and the others left Mengxian County quickly.
