In the morning, Sun Man, the prefect of Chongzhou, led his subordinates, outside the prefect's yamen, to greet the officials who were responsible for hearing the case.

It's not that they don't want to come early, and this time they can be appointed by the emperor to solve this case, it must be reused by the emperor, it is difficult for these officials to have the opportunity to get close to the emperor's important ministers, and finally have the opportunity to get close, how can they be easily let go?

So here for the banquet, the small gathering, originally from the capital to Chongzhou only a few days away, they just walked for nearly half a month, but these two adults seem to be very experienced, so although they arrived late, but the officials and servants of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple who handled the case had already arrived.

The plump Sun Zhifu was drenched in sweat, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and looked at the big sun in the sky, it was really hot!

In fact, it was not too hot on this day, but Sun Zhifu rarely walked around outside under the sun, and he was fat, so he felt hot after a little sunbath.

In the box on the second floor of the Zhike Building in front of the prefect's yamen, Li Qianqian and Lan Tang stood by the window, and Lan Tang pointed to Sun Zhifu and said, "That's the woman's father-in-law." ”

That lustful man?

"It's him, as a high-ranking and powerful prefect, and the merchants in Chongzhou who want to please him, all know how to do what he likes, and I don't know how many women are sent to the prefect's backyard every year. ”

Liu Er inquired in detail, it seemed that it was a little too detailed, Li Qian glanced at Lan Tang, lowered his head and thought, what did Meng Dasheng want to do when he asked Lan Tang to heal Mrs. Sun Zhifu?

Yes, the person who asked Meng Dasheng was not the husband and wife of the Sun Governor's Mansion, but the father of the Sun Governor's Mansion, because the son had no queen, and he was worried that he would have no heir in the future, so he wanted to ask the doctor to recuperate for Mrs. Sun.

"Actually, after reading the information Liu Er gave me, I didn't want to heal Mrs. Sun. Lan Tang said sullenly.

"That's the rejection. Li Qianqian watched as Governor Sun took the lead and greeted the two officials who got off the carriage.

"It's already due, and if you don't go, you can't do it. Lan Tang said angrily, "That Mrs. Sun is amazing." ”

First of all, he sent his cronies to prepare a generous gift to the door, and then released the blue doctor to Chongzhou, and settled at the inn at the lotus pond wharf.

Although it was not specified which inn it was, these news alone had already made the inns around the Lotus Pond Pier lively.

Every day, people go to the inn to ask, whether the blue doctor lives here, the innkeeper they live in looks at the description of the blue sea, very suspicious, and not sure, the blue sea has thick nerves, and turns a blind eye to the shopkeeper's doubtful eyes, the shopkeeper is not good to ask the blue sea directly if you are a divine doctor, but he can knock on the side of Lan Tang, Lan Tang is a girl's house in the end, and he can stand his greetings every day.

For this reason, Li Qianqian asked people to rent a house at the Lotus Pond Wharf and move out of the inn, but fortunately the good news was not revealed.

"Let's go!" Li Qianqian said, "After I go, I will decide what to do after seeing the situation." ”

"Alas!" Lan Tang sighed.

The people and cars in front of the prefect's yamen have dispersed, Yunzhu and Chunshou don't know what to discuss enthusiastically, Li Qianqian glanced at them and gave Chunjiang a puzzled look, Chunjiang shook his head with a wry smile, and Li Qianqian immediately dispelled the idea of asking.

"Let's go?"

"Hmm. Went back. Lan Tang got up and walked out of the box first, Chunshou saw that the master was gone, and hurriedly caught up, Yunzhu moved faster than her, and had already rushed to Lan Tang's side in an arrow step.

"The girl is optimistic. Lan Tang stopped and glared at her.

"Well, you! That mouth has to be locked, it's always so frizzy. ”

Li Qianqian, who was walking in front, glanced back at Lan Tang, among the several of them, Lan Tang and Yun Zhu were the oldest, and Yun Zhu was two and a half pounds and eight taels, and they also had the face to talk about others! If she wasn't frivolous, then Mrs. Sun Zhifu would not have known that they were at the lotus pond pier earlier.

It's okay, what kind of greetings! Li Qianqian sighed secretly, and thought about it, Lan Tang also wanted to leave the relationship at that time, so that he could leave the lotus pond as soon as possible, so he would send someone to the Sun Governor's Mansion to send a post, although it was kind, but she did not say a word to everyone and acted without permission, which was really reckless.

After Lan Hai found out, he scolded her severely, if she hadn't made the decision on her own, everyone would still be living in the inn!

The inn is close to the wharf, as long as the ban is lifted, you can immediately get on the boat and go south, now it's okay! I was forced to move here, and it was an hour's journey from the lotus pond!

Although it is said that it is comfortable to live in a single house, it is inconvenient in the end.

Although Li Shu didn't say anything on his face, Lan Hai grew up with him, how could he not see that he didn't like it in his heart?

There are few people in this world who dare to be his master, Li Qianqian is one, but people are clever, even if they are the masters for him, they also make people happy, only his daughter, stupid! Thinking of why his daughter would do this, Lan Hai made up his mind, never let his daughter marry Meng Dasheng, if it wasn't for his kid to make trouble, how could Sister Tang have a relationship with Mrs. Sun Zhifu.

Hum!

Meng Dasheng probably couldn't have imagined it, but it was just a small favor to ask Lan Tang for a small favor, and a small matter of giving people a medical treatment would make his father-in-law, who was originally optimistic about him, suddenly change his mind and make his marriage change.

Governor Sun welcomed Wang Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Huang Shilang of the Criminal Department, originally wanted to be polite, and after the banquet, he would talk about the case, but he didn't want to enter the prefect's yamen, and the tall and handsome Huang Shilang asked, "I don't know where the person sent by our Criminal Department is at the moment?"

"Huh?" said Sun Zhifu in his heart, how do I know they are now?

"Can our people from Dali Temple be in the palace?" the dignified Wang Shaoqing politely asked Sun Zhifu.

"Huh?"

I don't know about Governor Sun's house, Huang Shilang and Wang Shaoqing don't care, this Governor Sun seems to be a good gentleman, but in fact, he has a bad record, everyone in Beijing knows about it, and all government affairs rely on the people below to help him deal with it, and he is responsible for eating, drinking and having fun with businessmen who come to curry favor on weekdays.

This is probably the main reason why the gangsters will pick Chongzhou to make a move, there is such a Shangguan, no matter how capable the people below are, they will not have a day, so in the Yamen of the Chongzhou Prefect, from top to bottom, there is a lazy and casual atmosphere, and if something happens, it can be pushed and hidden.

Shangguan is not responsible, how dare the people at the bottom rush, if they want to do practical things, they have to pick Shangguan, it's okay to meet those who are incapable but self-aware, and those who can listen to advice are okay, I'm afraid that I will meet people who are not smart and incapable, but they think they are smart, and they think they are outstanding, and there is no nonsense in the world except for him.

Governor Sun is a little self-aware and knows that his ability is not strong, so he delegates power to his subordinates in the name of it, but in fact he doesn't want to be responsible.

With such a Shangguan here, how conscientious can the people below be?

Although the magistrate of Qingguo had already reported the murder of the prince of Qingguo and sent people to the scene to investigate, he did not send people to protect the scene, nor did he immediately send a servant to inspect the body.

However, the officers and soldiers who were sent to the scene brought back a few suspects, and they heard that they were from Eastern Qi, and Huang Shilang and Wang Shaoqing wanted to interrogate these people when they received a notice from their subordinates, but they didn't want them to speak, but Governor Sun's reaction was, "Huh? There are suspects? Why doesn't the official know?"

It's funny, your territory, your people have caught the suspect, you don't know, and you asked us instead? Forget it! Forget it! Deal with this one, waste time and delay things.

After Wang Shaoqing and Huang Shilang glanced at each other, they asked where the suspects were, and hurried to the yamen of Qingtang County to ask the suspects.

When the head of the Geng family's guards saw these two, he didn't hide his identity, and directly made it clear, "My lord was captured by thieves, and our brothers chased him all the way from Dongqi to Zhao Guolai, and I don't know what those thieves think. ”

Huang Shilang comforted a few words, and then asked about the events of the day.

The head of the guard told them all honestly, and told them his doubts.

After the questioning, Wang Shaoqing asked them to be escorted back to the cell, and then discussed the case with Huang Shilang himself.

"We need to go and see it again. ”

"That's what the official wants. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

In the next morning, they were accompanied by the county magistrate of Qingtang County to the broken temple, and after inspecting the broken temple inside and outside, the yacha of Dali Temple stepped forward to report, "My lord, the little ones walked through according to the confession of the head of the guard, and it can probably be determined that what he said is roughly right, only a few small details are not correct." ”

"It's nothing, they were terrified at the time, and it's normal for them to get things wrong. ”

When he went to Yizhuang to check on those who were killed, Wang Shaoqing was a little resistant before entering, and Huang Shilang said, "If Lord Wang has anything, you can wait for me outside first." ”

"No need, let's go in together!"

The place where the corpse is parked in Yizhuang, the smell is very bad, the Shouzhuang people have already taken the ointment to wipe under the nose of the people, but everyone is useless, the medicine they use in Dali Temple is better than that given by the Shouzhuang people, the criminal department often uses torture, the prisoner is not given treatment after being injured, it is also a common method of interrogation, so the medicine they use is stronger than that used in Dali Temple, but the material is not as expensive as that of Dali Temple.

The keeper didn't care, and led everyone to look at the corpses recovered from the ruined temple.

After a cursory look, the two adults asked the servants to come forward to take a closer look, while they went outside to rest.

Because of the large number of people, it took several servants to work day and night, and it took nearly seven days to complete all the examinations.

"My lord, these people are the people who the head of the guard said to retreat from the front hall to the back hall, they all have thick calluses on their hands, they are warriors, their faces are peaceful when they die, they should not feel the danger, but it may also be that they have drunk alcohol and are lax. ”

Or as the captain of the guard had said, the man who did it was familiar with them. Do you know the identities of these people?" said Huang Shilang.

"I haven't found this yet. The reply was the official of Dali Temple, and he said with a difficult face, "The things they brought with them did not see anything like a token." ”

"Has their clothing ever been searched?"

"When they went, the clothes were very disheveled, and he thought they had been robbed. ”

"It's not the thieves, they should have something to prove their identity, and the perpetrators were afraid that their identities would be exposed, so they searched and took them. ”
