"Why did Bi Lin's widow Zou say that you killed your husband because of rape?" Li Sanjian asked Xiang Tong.

At this time, Li Sanjian's heart was like a shocking wave in the sea, it was turbulent, and Li Sanjian felt that he was like a small boat in the sea, floating around, and it could capsize at any time, so as to disappear without a trace.

The more the case of Bi Lin's rape sister-in-law is investigated, the more people are involved, and it can be described as complicated.

However, at this time, Li Sanjian also roughly sorted out the ins and outs of the case.

The account book is the account book of Li Jijin Bank, which records the transactions between Li Jijin Bank and the imperial court, which involved many court officials, including Zhou Fanggeng, Xu Shiqing and others.

The filthy things hidden in it are self-evident.

It is a big act of greed for ink, and it does everything.

I don't know what the reason is, Brother Bi Lin has this account book in his hand, and Brother Bi Lin was killed because of this.

Here, Li Sanjian first assumed that Brother Bi Lin died of an accident, not a sudden illness as claimed by the Kaifeng Mansion, and the real cause of death required an open coffin for an autopsy.

Billing suspected the true cause of his brother's death, so he investigated the matter, and was then framed and killed.

But such a shocking case is beyond the reach of Li Sanjian, a small Kaifeng Mansion criminal litigation officer.

Li Sanjian has no problem taking Zhou Fanggeng at this time, and taking it to prison for careful interrogation will inevitably make him submit, but what can Li Sanjian do with the people behind Zhou Fanggeng?

At this time, Li Sanjian's correct approach should be to immediately go to the imperial court, go straight to Tianting, and try the case together with Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Yushitai, and the Three Law Divisions.

But does Li Sanjian dare to do this? The answer is no, Li Sanjian doesn't dare.

Li Sanjian is just a small Kaifeng government official who has just entered the official career, if Li Sanjian does this, then it is a piercing of the sky, in this way, Li Sanjian's ending is unpredictable, Li Sanjian does not think about himself, but also for his family and the brothers who follow him.

At this time, Li Sanjian was hesitant and hesitant.

But no matter what, Li Sanjian had to figure out some doubts in this case, so Li Sanjian continued to ask Tong in detail.

"She... She... So say the slave family? Hearing this, Tong looked at Li Sanjian in a daze, and couldn't believe his ears.

"Exactly!" Li Sanjian looked at Tong and nodded: "You two are concubines, why did Zou say that you were born out of adultery, thus harming your husband's life?" ”

"Master, wronged!" Hearing this, Tong knelt down again, and kept kowtowing: "She has always been... has always been at odds with the slave family, and she even suspects... Smell a rat... ”

"Suspect what?" Li Sanjian asked.

"She also suspects that the slave family is having an affair with her uncle." Tong replied hesitantly.

"Why is that?" Li Sanjian frowned and asked.

"The first husband died inexplicably, the slave family was widowed at a young age, and the uncle took pity on the slave family, and often sent some food and clothing, and often came to visit the slave family, so... Tong lowered his head and said.

"They used this to frame you and Bilin because of this?" Li Sanjian asked.

"That's right." Tong nodded.

"Where's your dead husband's grave?" Li Sanjian asked after thinking about it.

"Just outside the city." Tong replied.

Li Sanjian was silent when he heard this.

Zou said that Bi Lin's brother's coffin had been transported back to his hometown for burial, but Tong said that it was outside Kaifeng Mansion, and there must be someone lying between the two.

At present, it seems that Zou is more likely to lie, but why is Zou lying? Li Sanjian couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Bi Tong's." After Li Sanjian was silent for a long time, he said to the Tong family: "The tired lady will go to the government and prison for a few days, and when the matter is clear, the official will definitely give you justice." ”

Tong is an extremely important witness, he is already deeply involved at this time, Li Sanjian must protect him, otherwise he may fall into the same fate as Bi Lin.

At this time, the government and government prison are the safest places.

At this time, Li Sanjian was inevitably involved, and at the same time, Li Sanjian's investigation of the case was definitely known to them, and the Caizhou incident was proof of this.

At this time, it was not so easy for Li Sanjian to retreat, or to retreat with his whole body, so Li Sanjian must have ironclad evidence of their crimes, so as to protect Mingzhe's life.

"Xu Biao." Li Sanjian then called out to Xu Biao, who was waiting outside the door.

"Xianggong, what do you command?" Xu Biao asked after pressing the knife in.

"From today on, you will stay in the prison, eat and live in it, without the permission of the official, no one will be allowed to interrogate Bi Tong's family, and she will not be transferred to prison, she will be asked if she has a single hair." Li Sanjian thought about it and said to Xu Biao.

"Little obedience!" Xu Biao responded.

。。。。。。。。

What should I do? Li Sanjian, who was riding on the horse, shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to get rid of the various thoughts in his mind.

Li Sanjian's mind was chaotic at this time, anger, shame, fear, worry, and joy were entangled together, like a mess, and his heart was chaotic and restless.

"Division... Uncle? Yao Yu, who was riding on a horse and following Li Sanjian, saw Li Sanjian sighing and shaking his head, so he asked in surprise.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's getting late, I'll go back and rest early." Li San said after he was determined.

From Tong's residence to Li Sanjian's house, we have to pass through a long alley, and there are several tall trees in the walls on both sides of the alley, the branches are luxuriant, and from a distance, it is pitch black, and the moonlight passes through the shade of the trees, leaking a shimmering broken jade.

Except for the chirping of insects at night and the sound of Li Sanjian and others walking, there was no other sound, and the whole alley seemed relatively calm.

At this time, there were no other pedestrians on the road, only Li Sanjian and his party rode a few times and held lanterns, walking on the street, kicking and trampling, and there was a messy sound of horses' hooves in the small alley.

Xu Biao had already taken the Tong family to the government prison first, and at this time, only Shankui, Yao Yu and two arresters were following Li Sanjian.

"Slow!" Yao Yu suddenly raised his left hand and raised his hand to signal, while his right hand grabbed the handle of the waist knife.

Hearing this, everyone grabbed the reins of their horses and turned their heads to look at Yao Yu together.

"What?" Li Sanjian turned his head to look at Yao Yu and asked in surprise.

"Uncle Shi, that's not right..." Yao Yu said after looking at the dark surroundings.

But before Yao Yu's words fell, everyone suddenly heard a few subtle sounds of "Tata" pulling the crossbow machine between the branches and leaves of the tall trees in the dark.

Almost at the same time, three crossbow arrows suddenly appeared in the night, and the finished glyph of the crossbow arrows flew rapidly towards Li Sanjian's chest, and the tips of the arrows shimmered in the moonlight, which looked particularly terrifying.

This is a poisoned arrow, and it will shine with a turquoise light!

"Uncle be careful!" Yao Yu roared, jumped up from the saddle, pulled out his waist knife, danced into a white light, and swung his knife at the crossbow arrow.

"Smack!" After two soft sounds, Yao Yu jumped up, slapped two crossbow arrows with his blade from top to bottom, and slapped the two crossbow arrows into pieces and fell to the ground, making a rustling sound.

But Yao Yu could only shoot down two crossbow arrows with all his might, this is because Yao Yu felt that there was something wrong around him in advance, and he prepared it in advance, otherwise a crossbow arrow would not be able to stop it.

Yao Yu shot down two crossbow arrows, but the third crossbow arrow flew towards Li Sanjian like a bolt of lightning.

Almost at the same time as Yao Yu warned, jumped up, and shot arrows, Shankui roared angrily, and from Li Sanjian's left side, he didn't have time to get off the horse, and directly pounced on Li Sanjian's body, hugged Li Sanjian and rolled off the saddle, rolled to the ground, and protected Li Sanjian with his huge body.

The sharp arrow flew in, made a "poof" sound, inserted on the horse's buttocks of Li Sanjian's mount, deep to the feather, the healthy horse jumped in pain, Shan Kui grabbed the horse's reins, roared, and pulled the horse down, the huge body of the horse fell to the ground, raising a lot of dust, but the four hooves and the wide belly of the horse were just enough to cover Shan Kui and Li Sanjian.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and the two catchers took out their waist knives at this time, and raised their knives to protect Li Sanjian's surroundings.

"Kill!" Yao Yu roared, and he was about to kill the tree with his knife.

"Yao Yu! Come back! Don't go over! Li Sanjian was so shocked that sweat ran down his cheeks.

On the previous trip to Guizhou, the bandits attacked, after all, it was to catch Cai Rongxue, thinking that they were hostages, not to take the lives of Li Sanjian and others, but this time it was completely different, the other party's purpose was very clear, that is, to take Li Sanjian's life.

However, when he was suddenly attacked at this time, Li Sanjian was a little panicked, but his brain was clear, the enemy was in the dark, I was in the light, and at the same time, the other party was condescending, wouldn't he be sent to death in the past?

The other party fired several more arrows head-on, how could Yao Yu resist?

So Li Sanjian was so anxious that he shouted loudly.

"Uncle Shi, how can the other party resist the arrow again? Go and kill, Uncle Shi go quickly! But Yao Yu couldn't hold his feet at all, and he had already jumped towards the big tree, shouting as he ran.

Yao Yu did not bring a bow and arrows, only melee to drag the opponent.

Sure enough, there were a few bangs on the tree, and several sharp arrows shot out again, but at this time, the target was not Li Sanjian, but Yao Yu.

Yao Yu swung his knife and knocked two crossbow arrows flying, and the third flew over grazing Yao Yu's bun and stuck on the ground with a pop.

Li Sanjian was shocked into a cold sweat, you must know that these are poisonous arrows that seal the throat with blood, and at this time, the Jianma who was blocking in front of Li Sanjian and Shankui was already foaming at the mouth, and he couldn't see it.

In a moment, Yao Yu had already pounced like a bird, and then the sound of the blades intertwined, and the branches and leaves also fluttered non-stop.

"Shankui!" Li Sanjian was so anxious that he shouted loudly.

Li Sanjian had the intention to ask Shankui to come over to help, but Shankui was a wrestler with infinite strength, but he was not suitable for fighting between this kind of woods.

Of course, Shan Kui also understood this truth, so he dragged the horse corpse with a knife and protected Li Sanjian to the death.

Li Sanjian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and for a while, he was hesitant.
