Chapter 84: The Cave Skeleton (8)

There were four houses where money was kept, but they were not bribes from their subordinates.

Could it be that where did Pingxihou dig the gold mines? But his subordinates were all over the Song Dynasty, and it is not very likely that gold mines were found everywhere.

And where did you build a private silver factory? But in the same way, it is impossible to disperse like this.

It's not digging gold mountains or making silver, Su Yunkai really can't figure out how Ping Xihou used not to accept bribes, but he could get his subordinates to send so much money.

Although it couldn't completely solve the doubts in his heart, these things that Li Kang found out were very useful.

While speaking, someone knocked on the door outside, "Young Master, there is a Director Zhao from the Criminal Department who came to find Master Li." ”

Li Kang was surprised, but he still asked his subordinates to bring him over. In the end, he said to Su Yunkai, "I came here to be righteous and bright, so everyone in the Criminal Department knows that I am here to visit my old colleagues." ”

"Well, being secretive is suspicious. Whose person is Director Zhao? ”

This is to the point, Li Kang said with a smile, "The court dispute, there are not only two camps, Anguo Gong and Pingxihou, as for who he is, I won't say it, it's okay for us." He came here to find it, and it must have been urgent. ”

Sure enough, when Director Zhao appeared, his expression was in a hurry, and he even forgot about the officialdom greetings when he met, and said directly, "Something happened to the government again." ”

Li Kang couldn't help but smile, "What's wrong?" ”

Director Zhao looked at Su Yunkai and said, "That's called Baishui's head catcher, but Lord Su recommended it from the Daimyo's Mansion?" ”

Su Yun's happiness sank slightly, "Yes." ”

"This morning...... Someone found a burned corpse under the cliff of Gushan, although it was burned beyond recognition, but the man was thin and small, wearing a yamen official uniform, and the waist card was the head of the white catcher! ”

Su Yunkai was taken aback, at the bottom of the cliff of Drum Mountain? He held his breath instantly, and after a while, he tried his best to calm down, Baishui's martial arts were so good, even if she was a little impulsive when she went to the villa, but she wanted revenge, so she would definitely not let herself die lightly, and even be more cautious at a critical moment, "In addition to the waist card, what else can confirm her identity?" ”

"It's gone, but judging from the figure, it does look like him."

When he said this, Su Yunkai was a little relieved, "How many clothes have been burned?" ”

This question really made Mr. Zhao feel strange, this person was burned to death, and he also asked about the clothes, isn't this a reversal of priorities? Su Yunkai was really sick, "It's also burning." ”

Su Yunkai sighed and was speechless for a long time. His complexion was not good, and he looked even more tired from this silence. Li Kang and Director Zhao were about to say goodbye, and the people outside the door came to report again, "Young Master, Pingxi Hou has come to visit you, do you want to greet you in the front hall, or invite Hou Ye to come to the house?" ”

Su Yunkai and Li Kang glanced at each other, and after almost a moment of communication, Su Yunkai said, "I'm not physically fit and can't go down to the ground, please come to the house Pingxihou." ”

"Yes."

With Su Yunkai's friendship with Xihou and Xihou, he didn't come here to visit, and the matter of Baishui just happened had to make Su Yunkai think about it more.

Yu Fenglin soon arrived at the door, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Li Kang and Zhao in charge. The two greeted him, and Li Kang said again, "Xia Guan heard that Master Su was sick, so he came over with Chief Zhao to have a look." There is still something to do in the Criminal Department, so we will leave first. ”

Director Zhao glanced at him, the two of them came together? It's just that he is also a person with eyesight, and he didn't debunk it, and acquiesced.

Yu Fenglin didn't leave them behind, waved his hand, and allowed them to go.

After the two of them left, he glanced at Su Yunkai's face a few times, his complexion was indeed not good, but it didn't look like he was seriously ill, "Farewell to Gushan, Master Su is still bright, but for a few days, why is he so haggard." ”

Su Yunkai coughed a few times, and his voice was low, "It's probably overwork, Mingyue is right, I shouldn't always take care of official business, and I should have a good rest." ”

Yu Fenglin said with a smile, "Speaking of Miss Mingyue, I heard that she lived in Master Li Kangli's house?" ”

"Yes, her house in Kaifeng was burned, and I couldn't find a place to live for her, let alone take it home, so I entrusted it to my friend."

This explanation was reasonable, and Yu Fenglin didn't ask much.

Su Yunkai's expression did not move, knowing that he was not suspicious of this matter.

If he didn't take the initiative to mention Mingyue just now, Yu Fenglin would think that he was secretive and must be cheating.

Pingxi Hou's temper, he roughly figured it out. The more he put things naked in front of him, the less he doubted. But if the more he hides it, the more he will get to the bottom of it and find out.

Yu Fenglin asked him about his condition and told him to rest well, and then left the Su family.

Su Yunkai waited for him to leave, and then he pondered how to send a letter to the Qin family, so as not to spread the news too quickly, Qin Fang didn't come back to his senses, thinking that it was ...... White Water is dead.

The official uniform and waist card are whitewater, but the dead will not be whitewater.

Su Yunkai didn't need to look at the corpse to know that the person was not her, if it was, then what shocked Director Zhao the most was not that the head of the government was burned to death, but that there was a girl who had infiltrated the official office, which was a crime of bullying the king.

But Chief Zhao was not shocked or surprised at all, and did not mention it, so Su Yunkai believed that the person who died was not Baishui.

Where did that white water go?

He figured that the people who might have set the fire and blocked the secret passage did not leave, and remained at the Drum Mountain to prevent anyone from coming. Bai Shui happened to meet the man, and after the fight, Bai Shui killed the other party, and gave him his clothes, burned the body and threw it off the cliff to cover up his actions.

He really didn't misread Bai Shui, the more dangerous it was, the more rational she was.

Regardless of whether the instigators behind this matter found out so quickly, Bai Shui's doing this would be harmless-she may not have thought of it herself, so that Bai Shui, who was disguised as a woman and deceived the king, would be completely removed from the charge, Bai Shui's identity was fake, and she could restore her real name in the future, and use her identity to come to Beijing again to see Qin Fang.

The unfortunate things of the past few days finally appeared some predictable good things, and Su Yunkai breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, you have to hurry up and bring a letter to Qin Fang, otherwise he will go crazy.

He pretended to be sick and did not go out, and the news was brought by the Criminal Department. On the way, this case of the murder of the head of the government was spread all over Kyoto.

The news naturally reached Qin Fang's ears.

He has been locked in the study since he was brought back by the family, although he was anxious, he still forced himself to calm down, read books in his spare time, and spent the days of missing Baishui.

"The villain heard it right, the young master, the person you want the villain to pay attention to is really, really dead."

Qin Fang stared at the subordinate who didn't dare to raise his head, and the book in his hand was almost scratched, "You are talking nonsense, how could Bai Shui die inexplicably!" ”

The man was about to cry, but he had to say, "It's true, Bai Zhutou followed Master Su to Gushan, which is the summer resort where the young master went a while ago, isn't that place quite evil, several people died, and there was a murder......"

Qin Fang almost didn't throw the book out, "Who told you to say that the gods and ghosts are ghostly!" ”

The subordinate shuddered, stopped the words of the monster, and continued, "The two of them went together, but only Master Su came back. After coming back, Lord Su couldn't afford to fall ill, and it didn't take long for the news that Bai Zhutou was burned to death, and the young master, the summer resort was also burned, do you say that it is evil or not? ”

After speaking, he realized that he had said something strange again, and he was about to slap his mouth, but he found that his young master was silent. He trembled and raised his head, this look was so frightened that his soul was scattered, Qin Fang's whole face was as white as rice paper, and even the color of his lips had completely faded.

He was paralyzed in his chair as if he had been pulled to the bone, staring at the front in a daze.

"Impossible...... Her martial arts are so good, she has great strength, she is bold, and she is very skilled......" Qin Fang thought and asked again, "There is a corpse?" ”

"It's in the Criminal Department, and his identity has been confirmed."

Qin Fang stood up suddenly, "I'm going to take a look, I don't believe it's her, it's impossible!" ”

The subordinate knelt on the ground with weak knees, hugged his legs, and cried, "Young master, you can't go, you can't leave here, if you go, the villain will be hung up and beaten by the master." ”

"I'm just going to the criminal department to see if it's her, I'll take a look! I'll come back when I'm done. ”

"That's the white head catcher, even the waist card has been found, I heard that he is small, how many little people are in the head catcher?"

"Shut up!" Qin Fang's eyes were red in a hurry, and he opened the hand he was holding with one palm, and was about to go out when he opened the door, but there seemed to be a mountain blocking in front of him, and the person standing at the door did not move.

Yan Guogong saw that he was so depressed, his eyes were bloodshot, even if he looked directly at him, he didn't retreat at all, and his heart was slightly shocked. Maybe he is too strict with his father, so even if he has always loved this son, he is not close to him, and there is always awe in his eyes. But now for the life and death of a girl, she is so responsible. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing for a moment, "Go back." ”

Qin Fang shook his head, "Father......"

Yan Guogong knew what he was going to say, and motioned for his subordinates to retreat, and then said, "You will go to the Criminal Department to see a little catcher, what kind of system will you become!" ”

"I won't accept the knighthood anymore, and I won't be a marquis." Qin Fang suddenly felt that he was too selfish, but why did he repent now, "If I can give up this identity, accompany her brother since the accident, and go to Gushan with her, maybe she won't die." But I always thought that my identity could help her, and I couldn't lose it. But now I understand that my power comes from you, my father, and that if you try to stop me, I will have nothing left and nothing at all. ”

Yan Guogong frowned, "What do you want to say?" ”

Qin Fang said calmly, "I won't accept the knighthood, even if I just go to be a hawker, I am a self-reliant peddler, not a boy who is said to be useless everywhere." ”

Yan Guogong sneered, "If she really dies, you have to give up the title?" ”

"Yes." Qin Fang figured it out, the powerful are all fake, if only he could figure it out earlier......

It's too late, and nothing can be undone.

Qin Fang shook his body and almost fell, but someone reached out and grabbed him, and gently assured him to stabilize him.

Yan Guogong's cold eyes showed a faint sigh and relief, and said, "That person is not Bai Shui. ”

If it weren't for the daughter's body, it wouldn't be white water.

Qin Fang was stunned, "Really? ”

Yan Guogong smiled lightly, "How can you be so stupid, if that person is really Baishui, then it should be a girl, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is going to make a fuss, and everyone will flock to the Su family to question Su Yunkai, who recommended her, so as to get rid of the suspicion of bullying the monarch as soon as possible." But now the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is very quiet, and no one is going to make trouble with Su Yunkai, he is still recuperating well, you say, the dead person is white water? ”

After his father's analysis, Qin Fang was finally relieved, and he suddenly thought that his father knew so clearly, could it be ...... Also paying attention to the Whitewater?

A kind of hope rose faintly in his heart, like a sprout buried deep in the ground, about to break through the ground.

At the same time, he also understood one thing, what his father wanted to stop was never him and Bai Shui, but him who could not stand on his own.

If you can't even stand on your own, what qualifications do you have to say something high-sounding?

At this time, Qin Fang felt that this person was his father, not the resolute Yan Guogong.

It's just that...... Where exactly did Whitewater go and what was it doing?

He thought, his high heart still can't be put down.
