Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

The first was an ordinary copper token with the words Shouguang County Yamen written on it. Chu Yuan had never heard of Shouguang before, so he called out to Xiaodao in his heart: "Xiaodao, do you know where Shouguang is?"

"Host, Shouguang is a small town in the northern border, more than 400 miles away from here. There are not many residents there, and it is very desolate."

Although System Knife doesn’t have all those fancy features, it’s still very useful for small things like navigation.

"System task released. Find out the identity of the owner of this house. 300 points rewarded."

With the reward of points, Chu Yuan suddenly became full of motivation.

Continue looking at the remaining two tokens. The one in the middle is a round gold plate with no words on it, only a Qilin pattern and a sword.

This may be the symbol of some kind of organization or alliance.

In ancient times, not everyone could use the Qilin. Only people of prominent status could carve it on a token. As for the sword pattern, it was generally used more by people in the martial arts world.

However, some generals who are good at swords would also use it on their tokens, just like there is a sword engraved on Chu Ting’s general token, which is the Eagle Sword passed down from generation to generation in the Chu family.

What is engraved on this token is just an ordinary sword, nothing special.

This kind of ordinary sword is usually used by beginners or people from ordinary families, but I heard that some killers in the world also use this most common sword.

After completing a mission, he would change his sword to hide his identity.

The last piece is said to be a token, but in fact it looks more like a jade pendant, except that there is no tassel hanging underneath, and the jade material used does not look expensive.

There is a lotus carved on the jade pendant, with a small fish hidden under the lotus leaf. It looks like something that belongs to a girl.

Chu Yuan wrote down the appearance of these things, put them back to their original places and left.

These things were carefully hidden here and must be of great significance to the owner of this place. She wanted to find out the meaning behind them.

First, start the investigation from Shouguang. According to the information provided by Xiaodao, Shouguang is only two days' journey from Qi County.

She still has time before the people sent by her father arrive in Qi County.

So Chu Yuan traveled day and night to Qi County, and finally entered Shouguang territory in the evening of the second day.

But the city gates were closed at this time, so she could only find a place to stay in the suburbs for the night.

Chu Yuan found a sturdy tree, jumped off it, and lay down between the branches, closing his eyes to rest.

In the second half of the night, several people suddenly conspired under a tree. Chu Yuan heard that they planned to sneak into the county magistrate's house tomorrow night to steal treasures.

I thought these people were so bold that they actually dared to steal from the county magistrate's house. I wondered if they really had the ability to do so.

However, this is a very good opportunity for Chu Yuan, as he can follow a few people and sneak into the county magistrate's house.

The token I saw before had the words "Shouguang County Yamen" written on it, but the token looked quite old. I wonder if I can find any clues in the county magistrate's home.

The next day when he entered the city, Chu Yuan first found an inn to stay in. He gave the waiter an ingot of silver and asked him if anything strange had happened in Shouguang in recent decades.

The waiter of this inn was also a good talker. He told all the major and minor events that had happened in Shouguang City over the years. However, he had only come to the inn to do odd jobs ten years ago, so he was not very clear about what had happened before.

However, twenty years ago, a major event occurred in Shouguang. The entire family of the then county magistrate Wen Zhi was killed at home, all by a single sword. A sword was left at the scene, a very ordinary sword.

The murderer of this unsolved case has not been found yet.

A few years later, Mr. Yu and his family moved out of Shouguang and their whereabouts are unknown.

A sword, a very ordinary sword. This matter must be related to the person hidden in Qi County.

But when this happened, the waiter was still a child and didn't know the details.

There should be files in the county government office about this unsolved case from many years ago. Chu Yuan changed his original plan and decided to go to the county government office to investigate tonight.

I'm just sorry for the few people I met outside the city yesterday. Chu Yuan needs an opportunity to lure away most of the yamen runners in the county government.

When night fell, Chu Yuan waited for the thieves near the county magistrate's house. After they sneaked into the mansion, Chu Yuan threw the stone with the note tied to it into the window of the county magistrate's bedroom.

Afterwards, he went to the county government office and waited for the opportunity.

Within a quarter of an hour, a man dressed as a servant entered the county government office and left with two teams of bailiffs.

This was the time when the county government's guards were the weakest. Chu Yuan sneaked into the county government and found the room where the files were stored.

He found an old volume that recorded this unsolved case from twenty years ago and began to read it carefully by candlelight.

Chu Yuan discovered that the case file recorded that Mr. Yu had a daughter named Yu He, who died suddenly a year before the county magistrate's family was murdered.

This name corresponds exactly to the pattern on the jade pendant discovered by Chu Yuan.

It seems that the murderer of this tragedy is most likely Miss Yu’s admirer.

If the death of Miss Yu was related to the county magistrate at the time, and the unknown killer killed the county magistrate's family in order to avenge Miss Yu, then everything would make sense.

I just don't know why this unknown killer is now connected with some big shots in the capital, and why did he hide the token of Shouguang County Government in the secret compartment?

Chu Yuan was puzzled and had to leave the county government with questions.

On the second day, Chu Yuan decided to look for the people who served in Yu Mansion in the past to see if he could find any information about Miss Yu's admirer.

The Yu family moved away, but it was impossible to take all the servants with them.

Chu Yuan found a maid named Yaer who had served in Madam Yu's courtyard. When the Yu Mansion moved, she already had a lover, so she begged Madam Yu to stay here.

Now her son has fallen seriously ill and is seeking medical treatment and medicine everywhere, otherwise Chu Yuan would not have been able to get the news so quickly.

Chu Yuan gave her some money and asked her to recall whether Miss Yu had a lover in the past.

Yaer recalled that one day the mistress was very angry and punished the young lady to kneel in the yard for an hour.

It seemed as if he wanted her to cut off contact with someone, but the lady refused and was punished.

Because Miss Yu had been pretty and delicate since she was a child and was very much loved at home, the master and the mistress had never punished her so severely.

The servants were all surprised by her anger this time, so she was deeply impressed by it.

Chu Yuan asked about this person's identity, but she didn't know.

After receiving this news, Chu Yuan became more certain of his guess.

However, it is still unknown what the connection is between the relationship between this unknown killer and Miss Yu twenty years ago and what happened today twenty years later.

He also asked where Mr. Yu and his family had moved to.

Yaer remembered hearing her master mention a place called Qinli, but she didn't know where it went exactly.

Chu Yuan knew the place called Qinli. She passed by this place on her way from Qi County.

So Chu Yuan checked out of the inn and went to Qinli to look for the whereabouts of Master Yu and his family.
