Chapter 64: Conscience

Li Gao bent down and hugged his fists and said, "Please give me some advice." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Fubita slammed his mouth and said: "The investigation of the case is all up to Brother Li, and what Brother Li says is what it is." But in a word, the fourth master can't be without an explanation, and he has to explain it. ”

After listening, Li Gao couldn't figure it out at all, is this a clue?

Seeing Li Gao's frowning, Fubita scolded two words in his heart: idiot. He cleared his throat and said: "Before the old man left Beijing, the emperor explained that this matter cannot be involved in things that should not be involved, so do you understand?" ”

"The humble duties that the adults refer to are still understood, but what the humble duties don't understand is that there are no clues and the criminals can't be caught, so how can I explain to the emperor? Explain to the fourth master? After speaking, he looked at Fupita with a sincere face.

Fubita was so angry that he almost pulled off his beard, and said helplessly: "My Lord Li, it's not nice to say, even if you find out the real culprit, do you really dare to send it to the capital?" Going deeper, even if you dare to send it, the old man won't dare to send it! The emperor sent you and me here to end the case, so that the court could have a reasonable explanation for the whole matter, and let the court throw all the suspicions in the court into the Jinshui River. The old man said this, do you understand? ”

Li Gao was shocked, this is a bully! I couldn't help but rashly look up and seriously look at whether Forbita was talking drunk.

Fubita knew what Li Gao was thinking, he sniffed and ordered: "I don't know much about the criminal name, and it depends on Brother Li, but the old man has to write it, who let the old man take such an unlucky errand!" Brother Li, you must make the case watertight, let this," said Fubita and stretched out four fingers, "I can't find the words to say, you know, he is in the capital, and being mean is the first, he is the second, and no one dares to call it the first." Moreover, the 'main culprit' in this matter must be safe and reliable, and no one can find any excuse to impeach us for bullying the king, only in this way can you and I pass this hurdle. As he spoke, Fubita burped, and after speaking, he seemed to understand a little bit why Kangxi sent him a far-reaching Li Gao, and why he had to let him handle this case. To solve this case, you have to complement each other with the nerd in front of you...... After thinking it through, Fubita was relieved in his heart, it seemed that Li Dequan's eunuch did not lie to him. He didn't wait for Li Gao, the idiot, to reply, picked up the tea casually, and signaled to send off the guests.

Li Gao had heard a little about the slaughter of the white goose by the Criminal Department, but now, Fubita was not only hinting that he was fabricating the facts and evidence, but also asking him to find a "white goose" to bear the catastrophe of destruction, so as to understand the case. Secretly weighing it, he decided not to go to this ridiculous boss's thief ship, first, this matter is very important, and there is a disaster of bullying the king and destroying the clan. Fubita let him fabricate the facts and evidence of the case alone, once the East Window incident happened, Fubita could pick himself up with a sentence of "negligence and misconduct", at least he would not suffer the disaster of annihilation, but he was different, this case was handled by himself, once it was turned over, the three generations of the Li family had to lose their reputations and the heads of the full family. The second is that he must not allow innocent people to lose their lives in vain. His deceased grandfather once taught him that the sky is towering, the gods and ghosts do not know, the conscience knows, and it is not possible to deceive others and deceive oneself, and to deceive others and not to deceive oneself. Seeing that Fupita was impatiently serving tea to the guests, he didn't give him a good face, and he didn't even say goodbye, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Li Gao's rude attitude made Fubita break out in a cold sweat, and secretly gritted his teeth: This nerd doesn't still want to be a "clear stream", right? It's all about the knife and the neck, he ...... He didn't want to think about how he could get out of it all. Although what he did was a little unauthentic, the general trend was like this, and if Li Gao wanted to get out, he had to enter this urn. As long as he completes this unfortunate errand, lets himself live, gives the emperor an explanation, and gives the court a face, he will naturally help him, and in the future, he will be added to the rank and knight, and the high-ranking officials are not all his? But after pondering for a long time, Fubita tasted something, this Li Gao is not a good cow, he and what he thought are not the same thing at all, he began to regret that he seemed to say too much to Li Gao, and thought that Li Gao is Kangxi's person, in case Li Gao is a secret fold, the errand is smashed, not to mention, a crime of bullying, he can't eat and walk around.

"Come on, come on, quickly chase Master Li back for me." By the time Phobita reacted, Li Gao had been gone for a long time.

Seeing Li Gao coming back with an unhappy face, the nine-headed bird Zhang Xinyi smiled slightly and asked, "Why, seeing that you didn't find any clues, Fupita gave you the lead to eat?" ”

Before Li Gao came in, he had already made up his mind to tell Zhang Xinyi what had just happened and let him report to the emperor on his behalf, so as soon as Xinyi asked, he said what he said in the post house like a poured bean. Seeing that Li Gao was very angry, Zhang Xinyi seemed to listen very seriously. After listening, he nodded and praised: "Lord Li is indeed the pillar of the country, he does not deceive the king, and he is worthy of the people. Dr. Jia listened and lowered his head slightly. The nine-headed bird glanced at him, but Doctor Jia didn't seem to feel it, and lowered his head even deeper.

Zhang Xinyi's words were not the answer Li Gao wanted, he didn't give up, and replied tentatively: "Elder Zhang is too famous, and the younger generation doesn't mean that." I just think that Fupita is too bold, and he dares to bully the king! If no one comes to stop him, will he be allowed to go on like this? ”

The nine-headed bird smiled slightly: "Then according to Xiaoyou's meaning, do you want to come forward to take care of our Shangshu Lord?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Xinyi threw the problem to himself again, Li Gao's chest tightened, and he hurriedly replied: "I am soft-spoken, how can I report to the next level!" ”

The nine-headed bird laughed, "My Lord Li, it's the old man who underestimates you, although you are upright, but I forgot, after all, you have also been mixed with officialdom for more than ten years, and this is still very good." ”

Li Gao knew what he was referring to, his face flushed, and he didn't know how to answer his words.

Seeing that Li Gao was silent, the nine-headed bird continued: "In that case, Master Li, you might as well think about Fupita's words. The old man felt that there was some truth in his words. Li Gao raised his head suddenly, and looked at Zhang Xinyi without giving up, hoping that he was also joking. But at the teasing smile of the old man, his heart immediately sank, thinking that he had grasped the straw that saved his life, but it was just a mirror of flowers, and he was happy in vain.

"Knock knock", the innkeeper knocked on the door and came in, bent down to report to Li Gao, and Lord Fu sent someone to invite Lord Li to come over for dinner. Li Gao raised his eyes to look at Zhang Xinyi, but Zhang Xinyi said: "Master Li, then you are busy with you, and Master Jia and I will go on an errand." After speaking, he stopped caring about Li Gao and took Dr. Jia out of the room. Li Gao looked at the backs of the two, his eyebrows were as big as walnuts, and his steps seemed to have fallen a thousand catties, and he couldn't take a step. Although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to crush people to death at the top of the ranks, and now that he had lost the big tree of Zhang Xinyi, if he completely offended Fubita, his disaster would be in front of him.

Li Gao, who couldn't make up his mind, took advantage of changing clothes and hesitated for a long time before following the visitor back to the post house again.

Seeing Li Gao enter the door again, Fubita greeted him with a smile: "Look at the old man's heart, he sent a few pheasants in front of him, and he originally wanted to bring one back to Brother Li after talking, but he patronized the conversation and forgot about it." When I thought about it, I thought about it, Brother Li was out alone, and it was not convenient to deal with it. Why don't you be here with me, and you and I will have a good conversation with this pheasant. Isn't it happy? ”

Li Gao saluted and said: "In the afternoon, I was reckless, and I hope Lord Fu will forgive me." ”

Fubita smiled: "It's also the old man's lack of consideration, so that Brother Li is more careful, tonight you are willing to step into my post house again, that is, you still trust the old man, you and I are still sharing each other at this time, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

After speaking, in order to resolve the embarrassment, the two talked again. After a while, it was time to hold the lamp, Fupita saw that the time was almost up, and invited Li Gao to move to the restaurant, Li Gao saw this and made a little humble, and followed Fupita's meaning and went to the restaurant side by side with him. After the two of them were seated, the servants began to serve the food one by one. Waiting for the dishes to be served, Li Gao glanced at the table, only to see that in the middle was a stewed pheasant, surrounded by six plates of various hot and cold side dishes, and a pot of wine was placed in between. Thinking of the rudeness in the afternoon, Li Gao's back couldn't help but stiffen a little, and seeing that the servant was about to step forward to hold the pot and pour wine, he took the first step to pick up the Qi red wine jug and poured it for Fubita, which was regarded as a kind of atonement for the disrespect in the afternoon. Fupita is also very face-saving, raising a glass and drinking it all, without the slightest excuse. Then, while the two were talking about some innocuous chores, they drank each other, and the atmosphere was quite warm at first, but because they had their own hearts, the scene slowly became cold. The silent dinner made each other a little embarrassed, Li Gaozheng was fiddling with the vegetables in the bowl, thinking about what to start to resolve this embarrassment, but he heard Fubita instruct his subordinates: "Come on, call Yin Yin and Laneige, and let Laneige bring the pipa." ”

Let the people of the ninth master come to see him, although Li Gao was a little stunned, but he didn't drink high, just wanted to admonish Fubita that this matter was inappropriate, but Fubita took his hand first and said: "Brother Li, you don't need to persuade this, I'm a measured person." If you want to say that this can also happen, then the first day I fooled around with them, something happened, but don't I also 'fool around' here now? ”

"My lord, you are drunk, or I will come to the door another day to thank you." The more Li Gao listened, the more he didn't feel good, and hurriedly got up and resigned.

Fubita stood up and pressed him into the chair, "Haha, my Lord Li, you say, why is my official big and your official small?" How many years older than you did I make it through? Or is this my criminal name? As he spoke, he gave his thumb out. It seemed that Fubita was going to pretend to be "crazy" with wine, so Li Gao also sat down and quietly watched what Fubita was going to do. Seeing that Li Gao was no longer moving, Fubita continued: "I am a Manchurian, and I call myself a slave in front of the emperor. And you, a Han Chinese, in front of the emperor, you have to call yourself a micro-minister, the emperor has difficulties, do you also have to share the emperor's worries? Saying that, Fubita picked up the wine jug, poured himself a drink, and then said: "Since you and I are both for the emperor, whether it is a slave or a micro-minister, you must think about what the emperor thinks, do what the emperor wants, and do what the emperor wants, this is the loyalty to the monarch, this is the service to the country." Right? Speaking of which, Li Gao's face began to turn white unconsciously. Moreover, I am a scholar of the Criminal Department, investigating cases, why do you need to follow a Qipin county order that has been done for ten years. I have a lot of fifth- and sixth-rank governors under my command, so why should I pretend to use the hands of you, Lord Li, to handle this case? How did Master Li get to this Chengde, I'm afraid you know better than me. My official is bigger than you Master Li, not because I am older, nor because I am more famous than you, but because I know how to share worries for the emperor better than you. After Fubita finished speaking, Li Gao's palms and the tip of his nose were full of fine sweat. Thinking about Zhang Xinyi's words when he went out, it seems to confirm Fubita's words. But he still didn't understand, as Fubita said, if the emperor only needed a superficial answer, then he could let Fubita bring someone to investigate, why did he implicate him, Qipinzhi County, which is far away in the northwest?

"My lord, I don't understand my humble position, then the emperor asked me to come to Chengde-"

Forpita interrupted him: "The truth! The emperor wants to know the truth, but only the emperor can know the truth. ”

Li Gao suddenly realized! Immediately, not only did he sweat in his palms and the tip of his nose, but his whole body seemed to have been steamed, and countless beads of sweat sprayed out of his pores, wetting his entire underwear.

"Master Li, I have this sentence today, and you will have to think of my good in the future. In case one day I eat a hanging, I hope you can remember today. ”

"Thank you, Lord Fuku, for your advice." Li Gao endured his horror and bowed to Fubita. Fubita shook his hand: "Brother Li, the words have come to this, do you still hate me?" ”

Li Gao didn't reply, at this time he could no longer take care of Forbita's feelings, his whole body and mind seemed to have fallen into a paste vat, tightly sealed by a thick slurry, unable to breathe, unable to shout, let alone think......

Laneige, who was obedient outside the window, saw that the two were torn apart, so he took Yin Yin in with the pipa. The two sang and harmonized, and after a while, music flowed in the room, sometimes beautiful, sometimes low, tactfully twisted and turned, continuous, Li Gao listened far and near, not real at all, and felt more and more helpless in a trance......

Sending Li Gao away, Fubita almost collapsed on the circle chair, relieved for a long time, and his breath did not come over. Lanzhi came in with a decanting soup, and Fubita squinted at her and said, "According to your meaning, Li Gao has already taken it, and then what does the Ninth Master want?" ”

Lanzhi put down the hangover soup and said, "The old man said that he laughed, the ninth master asked the slave to serve you, and there was no other meaning." It's just that the master met this unknown three nerds, and the slave was afraid that he would hurt the master, thinking that the ninth master was well-informed in the capital, and he was the emperor's own son, maybe he knew the emperor's thoughts, and thought that he was from the ninth master's mansion, and asked the ninth master for personal favors, wouldn't he be able to help the master. So saying, he went into the bosom of Forpita.

Fubita wanted to push this **** away, but at this time, it was impossible to draw a clear line with the ninth master, so he fed the hangover soup to his mouth by Laneige.

But what Fubita didn't know was that it was not the ninth master who saw through Li Gao's move, but the eighth master who was still under house arrest.

Although it was chaotic, within two days, Yinxi peeled off the cocoon from the chaos in Chengde and debunked Kangxi's intentions. Now that the survey has been broken, there is a countermeasure. He sneered, and methodically arranged Lao Jiu and Lao Ten to do it, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and what the final chess game will be will not be known until the end.

With everything arranged, his gaze turned to the low wall in the backyard, Guanyintu, the stem in his throat, he couldn't swallow it, and he couldn't spit it out. Yin Yu had been kneeling in front of her room for two days, fainting three times, but he couldn't do anything, he was holding his braids in his hands, and the red tassels on them were particularly eye-catching.

"Master," Zhao Yuan'er knew that Yinxi was in a bad mood these days, so she tiptoed into the house and screamed in a low voice. Yinxi, who had his back to him, was looking intently at the backyard, and Ben didn't hear him. Zhao Yuan'er had no choice but to take another step closer, raise her voice slightly, and shout again, before Yinyu came back to her senses and asked, "Yin Yu, she fainted again?" ”

Zhao Yuan'er lowered her head and replied: "On the side of Fujin, the slave secretly sent her ginseng soup, and it is okay at present." The slave wants to report another thing to the master, but-" Zhao Yuan'er lowered his head again.

"But what? Don't spit it out! "I don't know why, Yinxi seems to have a thousand pounds of stones in his heart, and he can't move it.

Zhao Yuan'er raised her head violently and said, "Miss Qingyue is here, do you see it or not?" ”

Yin Xi couldn't believe his ears, thinking that he was hallucinating, and muttered, "What?" …… What did you just say? ”

Zhao Yuan'er saw surprise and resentment in Yinxi's expression, but more of joy. A good minion is, first of all, able to observe words and feelings, and secondly, able to serve people. From Yinxi's expression, he knew that Yinxi would definitely see Qingyue. So he had the audacity to repeat again: "Miss Qingyue is here." ”

How much hatred there is, naturally how much missing, when Qingyue Zhenren stood in front of him, Yinxi had a sudden feeling, it turned out that missing had overshadowed hatred, as long as people were in front of him, he could not care.

"Eight masters are auspicious." Qingyue asked Yinxi to say goodbye according to the rules, Yinxi signaled to be exempt, Qingyue got up, his eyes fell on Yinxi's limping leg, he has not seen him for a few years, he is no longer a man in the wind of Yushu, sickness, and the pursuit of royal power, so that his body and mind are scarred, his complexion reveals exhaustion, sadness, and a madness that is more thirsty for obsession.

Qingyue took out a bag from her arms and held it to Yinxi.

Yinxi didn't take it immediately, but teased: "What? You're going to give me a trick? ”

The relationship between them can no longer be reconciled, Qingyue doesn't care about his attitude, and replied: "The eighth master can see clearly, the embroidered five-clawed golden dragon on the brocade bag is a holy thing." ”

Yinxi bowed her head, if this is the case, it is also, now that there is no dispatch from the emperor, how can she be willing to see herself? But he can't spare her: "So, you're an angel?" Do you want me to open the door, burn incense, and welcome you into the door in court clothes, and then uphold the holy will? ”

Seeing that Yinxu was playing a scoundrel and had to make a debut problem for herself, Qingyue smiled slightly: "The eighth master is the master, if the master must do this, then the slave can only obey the master's will." But the saint is urging urgently, please ask the master to hurry up, so that the slave and maid can return to the palace on time. ”

"You!" Sure that he would not make such a stupid mistake, she dialed it back in two by two, and bit her lip angrily, not knowing whether she was angry with her or herself. This thoughtful and bold temperament has not changed! He opened the bag with a gloomy face, and as expected, there were Eniang earrings inside, and he sneered in his heart, the emperor sent her to cut off the last bit of warmth, did he think he would be afraid?

"The saint said that Wei Niangniang and him were attached to this earring back then, so he has always kept this thing."

Yinxi took out the earrings, put them on the table, and asked, "What?" Because my son is not a weapon, the emperor does not plan to keep this thing? Let you give it back to me? As he spoke, he took his bag from his waist and took out the other. This is a pair of silver aquamarine-encrusted earrings, although the hairpins on them have been worn out not very clearly, but because of the owner's careful care, there are no stains, and they have a soft luster.

Qingyue didn't answer Yinxi's words, "The saint keeps this thing, one is a thought for Wei Niangniang, and the other is that before Wei Niangniang passed away, she asked for a grace for the eighth master, no matter what the eighth master did wrong in the future, the emperor will spare you for the sake of this earring, and let you die well." Eighth Master, you are holding a gold medal for avoiding death. ”

"So, I have one more chance than they do." Yin Xi playfully picked up the earrings and asked Qingyue defiantly.

Qingyue couldn't answer him, Kangxi gave her such an errand, the ghost knows what he thinks, she can only say with a straight face: "Holy bow, Yinxi replied." Yin Yu smiled, leaned on the chair, stood up, and knelt down for Qingyue with difficulty, with endless ridicule in his eyes. Seeing Yinxi kneeling in front of him with difficulty, Qingyue rose with a burst of pity, what if she was born in the emperor's family? Instead, it has become a lifelong nightmare. "On behalf of the holy teachings, the eighth son of the emperor Yinxi, in the case of Chengde back then, the crown prince and the thirteenth prince transferred soldiers and horses to the Gyeonggi battalion, what happened?" Yin Yu replied with a smile: "Back to the Holy Lord, the case of Chengde has been ascertained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is the old prince, and the thirteen princes are plotting against him, but the emperor is blessed, my emperor first has insight into the opportunity, and then acted decisively, and then the invention court, deposed the old prince, and imprisoned the thirteen princes." So that the heart of disobedience, the thief's deed, was punished. In order to show the sacredness of our emperor and the ridiculousness of the rats. Seeing him say this, Qingyue finally understood why Kangxi hated him so much. Speaking from the heart, Yinxiang will only work for Yinzhen, and will never work for Yinren, Kangxi knows this, so he only imprisoned Yinxiang. She snorted, grieving for Yinxiang, and continued: "Holy oracle, the eighth son of the emperor Yinxi is disrespectful, unobedient, unfilial, recidivist and unrepentant, the case of Chengde, blinded the saint, it is already a capital crime, but the old love will not be investigated." Now take back the relics of the Wei family, and hope that the eighth prince will respect himself. Don't make Wei's good soul uneasy underground. ”

After listening, Yinxi didn't care, still laughing, just put his earrings into the five-clawed golden dragon bag and handed them to Qingyue. Seeing that Yinxi was hopeless, Qingyue asked according to the instructions: "Does Yinxi still have anything to say?" ”

Yinxi suddenly stopped smiling, and asked her seriously: "Qingyue, if I say it, will you bring it for me?" ”

Qingyue replied lightly, "Yes".

A hint of cunning flashed in Yinxi's eyes: "Then please play for me and ask the emperor to reward me, and I will never touch the court!" ”

Qingyue ......

When Kangxi listened to Qingyue's retelling, he was so angry that Li Dequan gave Qingyue two slaps.

Qingyue ......

At night, Wei came to Qingyue with medicine to reduce swelling and relieve pain, and scolded her while helping her with the medicine: "Is your brain broken?" Knowing that the eighth master is in the Qi Emperor, you still help the Eighth Master Qi Emperor! Li Dequan didn't take a heavy hand, her face was not to the point of being medicated, but Qingyue let her apply ointment on her face, "Mama, the eighth master is willing to return the earrings, so he acquiesces that he is the one who framed the prince and the thirteenth master, if the slave doesn't bring back the absurd words of the eighth master, wouldn't it be true that he is really behind the scenes?" It's not bad for the emperor to be angry with slaves and maids. Wei squinted his eyes and said, "You don't really want to go to the eighth master, do you?" Qingyue shook her head and said, "No, the slave has already followed the Thirteenth Master, and she will definitely not go back to the Eighth Master." If the slave and maid had this kind of thought, they would not be able to leave the Heart Nourishing Hall today. Wei Shi helped her apply the ointment, collected the medicine bottle, and then said, "Apply it again tomorrow, and leave the rest for you." Girls, you should take care of it, and you have to be careful. Qingyue smiled and thanked Wei.

Turning back to the Heart Cultivation Hall from Qingyue, Kangxi was still playing under the lamp. Wei picked up the skewer, gently flicked the wick, and then sat on the kangyan, after her playing, the hall suddenly lit up a lot. Kangxi finished writing the last stroke, took off his glasses, and asked, "How is it?" Wei said: "It's a good boy, can you ......?" Kangxi interrupted her and said, "No." My decision will never change, especially for Qingyue. Wei sighed and said, "I sent Huang Ying to check the origin of Qingyue again. Fei Seyao didn't lie to us on this point, but the disappearance of the Zhu clan was a little strange. If they are kidnapped, with Qingyue's character, she will be forgiven for lying to us. Kangxi sneered: "Then you say that the person who hijacked is the fourth or the eighth?" Also, she's not you, and I don't have that much pity for her! Wei stopped talking and sat quietly beside Kangxi until Kangxi ordered him to go to bed.

The first time I went out, I couldn't help but be a little nervous when I smelled the fragrance, although Chengde was not far from the capital, but for her who grew up in the Spring Festival Courtyard in the capital, everything was unfamiliar, the air here was not the same as the one in the capital, the smell of flowers and plants flowed, stronger than that of Xiangshan, if there was no task in the body, it would be a good journey.

"Girl, are we almost there?" With her, she raised a little turtle slave - San'er, who just turned sixteen this year, and he had a few pox on his forehead, and along the way, San'er kept touching them with his hands. It was also his first time going far away, and it seemed that the excitement and nervousness made him forget that he was dressed as a man, and still called himself "girl." Wenxiang glared at him, and the little turtle slave reacted and stuck out her tongue at him. The handlebar said strangely: "This girl, don't worry, my old man has been driving for 20 years, and he is a famous person in this industry, since he took my car, I will definitely send you safely." And you can rest assured, this road, which is used for royal hunting, is the most peaceful. Although Wen Xiang has never been far away, after all, he is a person on the scene, and he is naturally lively, so he smiled and said: "Uncle, don't be careful, our sister and brother hired your car, and it was aimed at your name." In the car dealership, when it comes to the old Youtou, I don't have to say that the wife of the Wang family in the east of the city, the head of the Four Seasons Shop, and the old lady of the Qianhe Bureau all recommend you to me. In this peaceful and prosperous world, how can there be anything. It's just that last month, there was a big case in Chengde, so we were a little scared. When Lao Youtou heard this, he sighed lightly and said, "I don't know which god killed him, and he dared to cause this catastrophe in front of the emperor." Pity those nine lives, and I don't know who I offended? Wen Xiang recited the sentence "Amitabha Buddha", and continued: "Whoever dares to commit a crime in front of the Buddha is the Monkey King?" After speaking, he giggled, and after hearing this, Lao Youtou couldn't help but laugh. The little turtle slave pointed to her in the distance and shouted at her: "Girl, you see that there are people fighting in the woods!" Wen Xiang and Lao You turned their heads together, there were swords and swords in the woods, and the three of them were chasing and cutting a man in black with knives, Lao You saw this, and beat the horses hard, Wen Xiang didn't sit firmly, and hit the purlin, and he didn't care about the pain, and urged Lao You to speed up. After running out of five miles in one breath, Lao Youtou pulled the carriage.

"Eh, why are these years so unpeaceful! Is it about to change? Lao Youtou grumbled as he got out of the carriage to inspect the carriage to see if there was any damage.

And the calm smelling incense, but his heart was entangled, how did the man in black's every move look like him? She bit her lip and weighed it for a long time before she spoke: "Uncle, please turn around, let's go back and have a look." ”

"What?" Old Youtou thought he had misheard.

"Let's go back!" Lao Youtou's question strengthened her thoughts.

"Girl, you don't want to live, I still have a big family to support." Lao Youtou shook his head.

Wen Xiang said: "I will double your salary for you, and you don't have to follow me, you just have to send me there." If something happens to me, you take San'er to the Cao Gang and find Tong Da in charge, and he will definitely make the decision for me. She used both hard and soft in her words, one was to promise to add money to Lao Youtou, and the other was to pull Tong Ling as a scene, so that Lao Youtou knew that he was not an ordinary person. Tong Ling is also a well-known figure in the capital now, and he has to tremble three times when he stomps his feet in the capital.

The car dealer has a good relationship with Cao Xing, and the items transported to the capital are all transferred to the warehouse by the car dealership. Lao Youtou was driving in the car dealership, so he naturally knew who Tong Ling was, he touched the back of his neck, looked at the two of them again, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" However, if something happens to the old man, the girl will let the Tong Da helper take care of my family. Wen Xiang said: "This is not difficult. Besides, you don't have to come with me, if something happens to me, you just have to run with San'er, and the faster you run, the better. If something happens to you, who of us will catch the car? Who's going to report it? When he smelled the incense, he was embarrassed to say it, so he could only smile.

Hearing the conversation between the two, San'er touched his pox and said, "No, I won't stay behind." I'm going with the girl. ”

Wenxiang wanted to shake her head, but thinking of San'er's temper, she sighed and said, "Whatever you want." But you have to be careful. Don't be stupid, you know? With that, the three of them turned back.

When he arrived at the place, the people who were fighting were no longer there, and Lao Youtou breathed a sigh of relief. Wenxiang got out of the car with a frown, held a robe in one hand, and went into the woods to look for traces, while San'er jumped in front of Wenxiang's head in a few steps like a monkey cub, and Wenxiang shouted in a low voice: "Be careful!" Slow down! Seeing that the two of them had entered the forest, Lao Youtou smashed his mouth and tied the carriage to him, and then silently followed behind the two. After a while, I saw the man in black lying on the ground, and the ground was stained with blood. Wen Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and turned him over, and when he saw it, it was really the one. She couldn't wait to give him two slaps, and said to him viciously, you also have today! But looking at the shocking bloodstains under him, she hurriedly beckoned San'er and Lao Youtou to carry him to the car. He took out his underwear from his baggage and tore it into strips to help him stop the bleeding.

When I entered Chengde, I found a doctor, and after the doctor saw it, he only said to try to take the side medicine, and if it didn't work, he would prepare for the future. Wenxiang's face turned pale when he heard this, San'er stepped on his toes unhappily, and Lao Youtou sighed when he heard it. The doctor wrote the prescription and handed it to Wenxiang, but Wenxiang did not answer, and only told San'er to follow the doctor to get the medicine. The doctor thanked him, packed up his things, and left with San'er. And Wen Xiang brought well water, moistened the towel, put it on the hot forehead of the man in black, and changed it for him every once in a while. Seeing that he couldn't stand it, Lao Youtou squatted outside the door and smoked a cigarette pouch.

On the other side, Li Gao was reviewing the death row prisoners one by one in Chengde Heavenly Prison.

"The villain's name is Sun Ergou, who lives in Sunjiaji, and usually goes to the village to visit households, buy some needles and threads, and support himself. But this summer, the villain went to the house of Abu, the big Zhuangzi of Hongshan, and gave the golden hairpin to his wife, but Abu said that I and his wife used the golden hairpin as a medium to hook up and commit adultery, so he beat the villain with a flat shoulder, and the villain did not have this bad behavior, of course he was not convinced, so he scuffled with him, and in the scuffle, he slipped and fell, his head rested on the stone, and he fell to his death. The people of Hongshan Da Zhuangzi said that the villain killed someone and sent me to Chengde Mansion. Moreover, Abbe is a Manchurian, and the villain is Han, so the villain is condemned to death. The villain is wronged! Master Qingtian, you have to call the shots for the villain, the villain is indeed wronged! The villain didn't kill anyone, he fell to his death, fell to his death"

Li Gao put down the file and asked: "Sun Ergou, if the official asks you, you have to answer truthfully, if there is half a lie, the official will definitely pick your skin." ”

Sun Ergou kowtowed like garlic, "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare ......"

Li Gao interrupted him and asked, "Where did you get the capital to sell goods in the countryside?" ”

Sun Ergou hesitated for a moment before saying: "The villain is a small business, and the business is not big, so how can there be any capital." Some of the goods were sold by the villagers on credit, and some were bartered. ”

"Then let me ask you again, did she order the golden hairpin of the Semi clan in advance, or did you get it from which gold shop on credit?"

"This, this," Sun Ergou sweated like rain.

Li Gao slapped the shocked wood and yelled: "Don't you recruit from the real soon!" ”

This throat was like a board hitting Sun Ergou's buttocks, and he had to say: "Master Mingcha, that hairpin is a villain who stole the Jin family's mother-in-law." The villain took the hairpin, but showed it off in front of Semi,......"

"Bold! And to tell the truth, since you have no adultery, why do you show off in front of Semi? ”

"Master, the villain and Semi really don't have adultery. For some reason, the villain identified the villain in the lobby as having an adulterous affair with her. The villain shows off the golden hairpin, but he wants to bargain. ”

"So, you're admitting that you have bad intentions?"

Sun Ergou cried with a handful of snot and tears: "The villain has that heart, but he hasn't succeeded yet." ”

"Shut up! You're a pig and a dog. Li Gao scolded, "Then let me ask you again, did Abbe fall to the ground headfirst or head down?" ”

Sun Ergou rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, "It's head down." ”

"Sun Ergou! You are a bad man, if a person falls forward, in addition to his head, his nose will also be injured, and Abbe's autopsy clearly says that he has injuries on the front and back of his head, and there is no wound on the bridge of his nose, which is clearly caused by you hitting him on the forehead with a hard object, causing him to fall backwards. “

Sun Ergou opened his mouth wide, and after a while, he said with a dead face: "He beat me with a flat pole, I picked up the stone and fired back, I admit that I killed Abbe." But I have no adultery with Semi, but she is bent on identifying me, and I can't figure it out. Later, she committed suicide in prison, my lord, there is definitely something strange about this. If I surrender to death like this, I will not accept death. ”

Li Gao stopped talking to him, rang the doorbell, two jailers came in, and pulled Sun Ergou up, Sun Ergou wanted to speak and stopped, but seeing Li Gao's appearance, he resigned himself to following the jailer.

Then the jailer brought another man, and when he came in, he fell on his knees and said nothing. After reading his dossier, Li Gao asked, "Who is kneeling?" After waiting for a moment, the man did not reply. Li Gao asked again: "Nayan, do you have grievances?" The man still didn't say a word. Li Gao got down from the desk, untied the shackles for him, and said: "Your case is not big, it's just that you are a house slave, but you hurt your master, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the one who injured the master died." It's just that I think it's strange, you are the son of the family of Shanbaelor, why would you do something to hurt the Lord? Although the shackles were unshackled, Nayan still knelt with his head bowed and did not say a word. Li Gao knew that even if he found out the suspicions and could overturn the case for him, in the end, he still had to go back to Shanbeiler's mansion, he had already offended Shanbeile, and even if he went back, there would be no good results. Besides, there is a family of Shanbeile behind him, and behind Shanbeile is the fifth master, and he is not the person he is looking for. When it came to this, it seemed that there was no need, Li Gao rattled the bell and asked people to take him down.

Then came a tall old man, with gray hair hanging on his face one by one, standing in front of Li Gao in a daze, with a look of disdain. Li Gao closed the case file and asked, "Old man, do you have any grievances?" The old man smiled and said: "The old man is not wronged, the old man is Yan An who worships the Holy Mother Sect, you are not wrong." For the anti-thief, Li Gao didn't need to say much, and the rattle sent him away directly.

Another one came in, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground and cried, Li Gao didn't care about him, just looked at his case file. The case file is not long, saying that this person is a filial son, because his daughter-in-law is not good to his mother, he killed his daughter-in-law. Originally, the clan had closed the case and did not send him to the government. But because the doctor who took the pulse of his daughter-in-law was talkative, he told his mother that his dead daughter-in-law was pregnant with his flesh and blood. His mother hanged herself that night, and after he knew the cause and effect, he killed the mouthy doctor. Although the file is not long, the relationship is complicated, Li Gao frowned when he saw it, and after reading it, he asked, "What is your surname?" What did you do? From the truth. ”

"The villain Li Keqin, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, a native of Lijia Village, Chengde Motangshan, has a wife and a mother, because his wife is not virtuous, he treats my mother harshly, I was angry for a while, killed my wife, did not want my wife to be pregnant, my mother learned about it, she was angry, and committed suicide. Later, after investigation, it was the town doctor who talked too much and killed my mother, so I took a knife to avenge my mother, and killed the doctor on the street, and 12 people in the neighborhood were witnesses. After the killing, I took a knife to Chengde and surrendered. ”

"In that case, what do you have to cry about now?"

Li Keqin choked up and said: "After I killed the doctor, there was no doctor in this town, and my cousin had a sha yesterday, but because he did not seek medical treatment in time, he died on the way to Chengde." My uncle went to prison this morning and scolded me, saying that I killed my wife, my son, my mother, and now I killed my cousin, I am an unfilial bastard! At the beginning, his wife was not virtuous, and it was okay to divorce his wife, so why bother to take so many lives. Now it is difficult to recover the water, and it is too late to regret it. After saying that, he fell on the ground and began to cry.

Li Gao sighed and asked, "You wrote the confession?" ”

Li Keqin replied yes, Li Gao handed him the pen and asked him to write a few words, and Li Keqin held the brush in his hand and wrote a little bit. Li Gao checked the notes, and the confession was consistent and there was no mistake, so he sent Li Keqin back to the cell.

The last one to come in was a child, the child had a yellow face and thin muscles, as soon as he came in, he couldn't stop looking at Li Gao with big eyes, Li Gao was a little shocked, what crime can a child in his teens commit? Li Gao flipped through the case file and realized that this child was a tomb robber. Chengde is a royal land, although there is no royal mausoleum, but it is also a royal forbidden place, where the grave is stolen and dug up, and he is not sentenced to be executed on the spot, which is cheap for him.

"Name?" Li Gao asked lazily.

The child wiped his nose nonchalantly and replied, "Zhou Wangding." ”

Li Gao sighed secretly in his heart, although this person is young, but he is very timid, and he is really a character who is a native master, and then asked: "Age, hometown?" ”

Zhou Wangding clapped his hands and said, "Haha, I'm sixteen." has a mother, no mother, and there is a master named Lao Turtle; The old turtle, the old turtle is really powerful, drill a tunnel to carry zongzi; The old turtle, the old turtle is not a person, there is a zongzi and a king ding. If you ask him where he is, ask Wang Ba in the water. ”

The first time he met such a slippery child, Li Gao was angry and funny, and asked quietly: "You are an orphan, your master betrayed you, and he escaped without a trace, right?" ”

Zhou Wangding replied correctly again and again, and praised him, he was really a master.

Li Gao snorted and said, "But we caught another tomb robber yesterday, he said that he was digging the grave, and you were just watching the wind and guarding the tomb." ”

Zhou Wangding snorted his snot and said, "I don't know which good person wants to take the blame for the master, but the master doesn't care." I'll do whatever my lord says. It's always good to run away for your life. ”

"Really? But I forgot to tell you that when we caught the man, there was another man buried in the tomb. When the young man heard this, his face changed greatly, and he lost his voice and said, "Impossible!" Li Gao smiled and asked, why? Zhou Wangding twisted his head and ignored Li Gao.

"If you don't say it, then let me tell you that you are in prison, and in order to protect your father and your brother, you lied that you were an orphan and turned against your master. You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Because in order to prevent money and murder, those who make a living in this way are their own fathers and sons. Usually it is the son who goes down, and Lao Tzu is holding the rope on it. You are gone, you should know who will take you to the grave. I told you just now that someone was buried in the grave, and you don't believe that your father would bury your brother, although you are right, but you don't forget, your brother is a novice, he can bury himself himself. Then why does your father have to take your sin for you now? Because you are already the last lone seedling of your royal family. ”

"You lied to me! I don't believe it. Zhou Wangding endured crying.

Li Gao didn't reply, just rang the doorbell. Two jailers came in, set up Zhou Wangding and left, Zhou Wangding began to struggle, "You lie, you lied to me, tell me ......" Li Gao waved his hand, and the two jailers dragged Zhou Wangding down. Zhou Wangding did not give up, and his screams resounded through the cell.

was making a commotion, and Fupita came in with his nose covered, "Brother Li, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Gao hurriedly saluted, and Fubita sat down on the stool, picked up a corner of the case file, and then threw it on the desk.

"My subordinates are looking for someone." Li Gao replied lightly.

Fubita snorted, "Brother Li, you can find it, just look at the case file, why do you still let the county orders of the eight counties around you send people here?" Hey, do you think Chengde's matter is not big enough? How can you and I use the people found out in this way? ”

"My lord, my subordinates just want to be at ease. If you only look at this file, if there is a grievance, the subordinate will kill an innocent person. ”

Fu Bita scolded Li Gaozu for eight generations in his heart, but he couldn't show a trace of unhappiness, "But if you look for someone with such fanfare, you will be caught with braids by someone with a heart." It will be you and me, and your whole family, who will die! As he spoke, he grabbed his braid and shook it in front of Li Gao.

Li Gao was speechless, as if he had fallen into the quagmire again.
