Chapter Seventy-Three: Spoiling the Situation
Qin Ji looked over in a blink of an eye, his eyes calm, "What's the matter?" ”
The young man said: "Originally, according to the plan, the gamblers I was looking for would sneak into the Li family in the gap between the shifts in the concierge. But as soon as they arrived at the door of Li's house, they met Jin Wuwei patrolling the city, and the gamblers were cornered and fought with Jin Wuwei. Two of them hid in Li's house, and three others were killed on the spot. Not long after, the Li family walked into the water, because the wind was strong, the fire spread very quickly, and the surrounding area was caught in the fire. Li Wangshan's relatives, his family, and neighbors only had time to escape, and almost nothing was taken before they were destroyed in the fire. ”
Qin Ji's fingertips tapped on the tabletop, and the soft sound of "da-da" sounded like a bell in the silent palace.
The young man continued: "Li Wangshan just learned about this, and even asked his family and neighbors if they were safe, without mentioning how much family property remained. The emperor comforted him and asked him to sit in the tent and talk. ”
Yu Mingzhi frowned, and listened to Qin Ji ask, "Have the net worth backgrounds of those gamblers been investigated, why did Jin Wuwei happen to appear, and did anyone else sneak into the Li family?"
The young man said: "The gamblers are all vagrants in the city, and they have no proper karma, and there is no sign of making friends with officials. The other two cases are still under investigation and have not yet been resolved. ”
Seeing that the matter was about to be completed, but it was intercepted halfway, Qin Ji felt a little regretful, and sighed: "Eighty percent is the king of Yi who is the one who will not be in trouble, and the first strike is strong, taking advantage of the chaos to destroy all the evidence." Although the news of the paddock could not reach the outside, he should have been keeping an eye on it at all times, and guessed seven or eight points. After all, the emperor sent people from the left and right guards back from time to time to arrest the suspects, and he couldn't make some noise if he didn't want to. ”
Now, even if you find another reason to enter the Li family to search, I am afraid that you will not be able to find any substantial evidence. and rashly attacked, for fear that the people and horses of King Yi would be caught and they would be armed.
"Just leave it alone, there's no need to check it. It's not worth wasting time and effort on something that has already guessed the answer, he is more concerned about the condition of the other person, so he looked at Yu Mingzhi, she was calm and indifferent, not impatient and pessimistic.
"Anyway, there is still one gain, the emperor has become suspicious of King Yi who hooked up with the official's family. Yu Mingzhi said, "Next, he only needs to order to secretly monitor King Yi and Li Wangshan, and once they make any more moves, they will be able to catch them." ”
Qin Ji instructed the young man, "It's okay, you retreat first." ”
The young man walked quietly, and his figure soon disappeared in the darkness.
There were only the two of them left in the room, Qin Ji returned to the table, poured two new cups of tea, and after drinking his cup slowly, he said to Yu Mingzhi: "You are right, today to this point can be regarded as a win." Zhizhi, let's do something else, like go out for a walk, anyway, there will be no progress tonight. ”
Yu Mingzhi couldn't say whether he was happy or sad, and asked about things he was more concerned about: "The fire in the Li family is one thing, and the murder has not yet come to fruition, how will the emperor deal with Li Wangshan?"
Qin Ji stroked the cyan pattern on the cup and pondered for a moment, "According to the emperor's thoughts, I will comfort Li Wangshan first tonight, but I will never stop there." When he is almost appeased, he will still settle accounts with him. As for how to settle accounts...... I would suggest that he follow the vine and find the real mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise according to his temperament, I am afraid that he will directly kill the person who has been found out to vent his anger. ”
Yu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, "I see that he asks questions from east to west, and in the end he is reluctant to kill Li Wangshan, not like an urgent child." ”
Qin Ji smiled: "It's not time to be in a hurry." ”
Yu Mingzhi shook his head and scolded: "Child's play." ”
"Don't worry, I'm here, and I won't let him come to this job. Qin Ji comforted, at this time, Zhu'er came in with a food box, he smiled even deeper, and took the opportunity to wipe Yu Mingzhi's hand again, "I have prepared a delicious snack, why don't you come and try it?" ”
Before he could lift the lid, Yu Mingzhi could already smell a sweet smell.
Zhu'er smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, it is the ingredients personally selected by Childe, and it must be the most suitable." The young lady doesn't eat much at night, and I'm afraid I'll be hungry in the middle of the night, so if I'm interested, I'll try it. ”
Yu Mingzhi glanced at the people around him, and Qin Ji smiled without saying a word.
He was always so attentive, she reluctantly pulled out a smile and answered "Okay".
