Li Qi and they waited on the side of the road for a whole morning, but no convoy came, the frontier was still fighting hard, and the caravan should not have moved around at this time.

Especially when the Chinese New Year is about to begin, the people of the Liu family in Xinzhou urged Liu Yingyuan's father, Liu Shanshen, to lead the caravan out of the city, which is very unreasonable.

Li Qi and the others didn't wait for the caravan to come, and after discussing it, they all felt that it might be Liu Shanshen who rejected Liu Wenju, but in any case, Xinzhou City must be visited.

Driving two carts, the four of them walked for more than an hour to the gate of Xinzhou City, Li Qi took out the waist card of Prince Yu's mansion, and the attitude of the high-spirited soldiers guarding the gate immediately changed.

Looking at Li Qi's appearance as a servant, they don't look like people from the palace, but how true the waist card of the palace is, they don't dare to provoke even if they are suspicious.

Who would dare to bet on this kind of thing?

What can you do if you bet right, if you bet right, it's just a matter of arresting a few people, and if you lose the bet, they will be unlucky.

Li Qi and the leading group leader asked: "Do you know where the Liu family in Xinzhou is?" ”

The group rate hurriedly pointed in a direction and said: "Go forward along the street, cross two intersections and go left, and it won't be far from the Liu family's mansion." ”

Li Qi asked again: "Is there a caravan of the Liu family going out of the city today?" ”

Tuan Sui replied: "No, there is a war going on in the north, how can any caravan dare to do business at this time, it is still a big New Year, wouldn't it be unlucky." ”

Li Qi hummed and did not thank him.

Because the words of thanks do not conform to the temperament of the people in the palace.

What kind of temperament should the people of the palace have? Probably Xiahou Zhuo's hanging boy is not counted, if you really want to say what kind of temperament the people in the palace are, it depends on the people in the palace, and that can be reflected vividly.

Li Qi felt that what he showed at this time had such a charm.

Yu Jiuling said as he walked: "We can't just go to Liu's house directly, we have to think of a way to inquire about the news first." ”

Li Qi said: "It's okay if people don't go out of the city, no matter how bold Liu Wenju is, he shouldn't dare to kill people in his own house, find a place to live first, and I'll buy some outfits for a while." ”

They didn't go to the inn, and the guest house didn't cost money.

They went directly to the official post, first, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to live in the official post, and second, it does not cost money.

Still relying on the waist card of Prince Yu's mansion, the people of the official post hurriedly welcomed them in, Li Qi made up a lie, saying that he encountered a fight of thieves on the way, and he was dirty, so he first came to the official post to live, took a shower and changed clothes, and then checked who was so bold in this Xinzhou city that even the people of Prince Yu's mansion dared to rob.

As soon as the people of the official post heard this, they were about to be bad, and they were so quick in their minds that while entertaining Li Qi and them, they sent people to report the news to the Xinzhou capital.

The people of Prince Yu's Mansion were robbed outside the castle of Shinshu, and if the people of the Shinshu Mansion pretended not to know, God knows what trouble would arise in the future.

Serving the big guys, the people below have always adhered to an attitude, that is, no matter how small things are, they can't be treated as small things.

It is better to serve the wrong than not to serve.

Li Qi gave the people at the official post some silver, measured their height and shoulder width, and asked them to buy a few new clothes.

After taking a bath, the people at the official post have already helped buy the clothes back, and the tailor shops in this city basically don't sell ready-to-wear clothes, and all the clothes are hung up, and no clothes can be made in three or five days, but Li Qi and their identities are different, so they must be able to buy them.

As soon as Li Qi changed his clothes, the adults of Xinzhou Mansion arrived, and the specifications of the thieves were high, and the Lord of Xinzhou Mansion, Lord Fucheng, and the chief arrester all came, bringing a lot of people.

Xinzhou is a small state, the government is from the fifth grade, and the mansion is the sixth grade, although the official position is not particularly high, but it is the chief official of the land of a state, but this adult immediately put on a smile when he saw Li Qi.

The government of Cui Han was born well, and the Cui family in Xinling was also very famous.

However, after arriving in Dachu, the Cui family declined slightly, not to mention that Cui Hansheng was not from the main family of Xinling, so he did not dare to slack off in his attitude towards the palace.

Li Qi clasped his fists and saluted, leaned over and said, "I've seen Lord Fuzhi." ”

Cui Hansheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Li Qi, and at this time, Li Qi had already thought about how big a flag to pull.

Cui Hansheng tentatively asked what Li Qi's position was in the palace, and then tentatively asked them what they were doing in Xinzhou.

Li Qi said: "My surname is Li, my name is Li Qi, and I am the righteous brother of Xiahou Zhuo. ”

Before he finished his words, Cui Hansheng's face had changed slightly, and his attitude became more humble.

"It turned out to be General Xiahou's sworn brother!"

Cui Hansheng hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Li Qi said: "Do you know that Xiahou led the army to resist the enemy in Daizhou Pass?" ”

Cui Hansheng hurriedly said: "I know, I know, I have already got the news two days ago." ”

Li Qi said: "The prince has just learned the news, and he is in a hurry, while dispatching a large army to prepare to rush to Daizhou Pass, he sent us to rush there in advance to protect Xiahou, but when he walked outside this Xinzhou City, he was actually ambushed by a group of people. ”

After a pause, he continued: "We killed a few of those gangsters, and the corpses were thrown in the forest about thirty miles outside the city, covered with dry grass, and the adults can send someone to pull the corpses back now, maybe it can be guessed from their clothes......"

Yu Jiuling pulled Li Qi, lowered his voice in Li Qi's ear and said, "Where are you still wearing clothes, they are all stripped off." ”

"Ah......h

Li Qi pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and smiled: "Look at my memory, we brought back the clothes of the thieves, and they still have some things on them." ”

Li Qi turned around and looked at Yu Jiuling, who hurriedly handed over the clothes and things that those people were carrying to the people in the government.

Li Qi said: "Although we killed some thieves, we were robbed of a lot of things by the thieves, including some items that the prince asked us to send to General Xiahou, as well as a box of silver......"

Hearing this, Cui Hansheng's head was about to explode.

If what Li Qi said is true, then if this case is not handled well, Prince Yu will be angry, and he will not do it as the governor of Xinzhou.

"Check!"

Cui Hansheng immediately said: "It must be strictly investigated, Li Gongzi, don't worry, I am here to promise you, I will definitely give you an explanation, and give an explanation to the palace!" ”

Li Qi snorted, pretended to think for a while, and then said: "I vaguely seem to hear from them that it seems that the caravan of your Liu family in Xinzhou was originally going to be robbed, and it was mistakenly thought that we were, so we fought, why, this is already the New Year soon, and the caravan of the Liu family is still going out?" ”

Cui Hansheng's heart tightened.

Liu Wenju has a close relationship with him on weekdays, and he gives him gifts a lot, if this case involves Liu Wenju, it may not be a good thing.

With his understanding of Liu Wenju, what good things can that guy do.

Liu Wenju's family was defeated at the beginning, and it was only with the support of a relative in Jizhou City that he made a comeback, and the process of this comeback was inseparable from Cui Hansheng.

Soon after Liu Wenju returned from Jizhou, he divided more than half of the silver that Liu Shanshen gave him, and all of them were filial to Cui Hansheng, and he got a benefit from Cui Hansheng...... The advantage of this is that he is allowed to open a casino in the city.

In the border city of Shinshu, there were caravans in the past, and merchants from the grassland, so the business of the casino was naturally good.

After two or three years of accumulation, Liu Wenju opened three casinos, two green buildings, and a restaurant in Xinzhou City, and almost monopolized the business of Xinzhou City and the grassland people.

Within a few years, Liu Wenju's family fortune swelled rapidly, and he became extremely inflated.

Cui Hansheng heard Li Qi say a few words about the Liu family in Xinzhou, and hurriedly said: "This is indeed a clue." ”

He looked back at the chief arrester of Xinzhou Qi Dian and said: "Keep all the evidence brought back by Li Gongzi, carefully investigate it, and immediately send someone to transport the bodies of those gangsters back." ”

Qi Dian approached the clothes and looked at them, and there was a smell of something rushing to his nose.

Yu Jiuling said beside him: "There should be no clues on the corpse." ”

Qi Dian said: "Don't worry, I have been investigating the case for many years, and no clues will escape my eyes, and the corpse is also evidence, so it will definitely be found." ”

Yu Jiuling thought about those who were almost stripped naked by him, and sighed slightly: "Okay, then there will be Mr. Lao to arrest the adult." ”

Cui Hansheng said a few more greetings, and then invited Li Qi to the yamen of the state capital for dinner, Li Qi pretended to be very unhappy and refused, saying that he was too tired and would go to visit him tomorrow.

Cui Hansheng saw that this posture was angry, and when he thought about it, the people in the palace were actually robbed when they came out, so it's no wonder that people are not angry.

Back in the carriage, Cui Hansheng looked at Qi Dian and said, "Don't be in a hurry to get out of the city, you go to Liu's house first and ask Liu Wenju what's going on!" ”

Qi Dian said: "It shouldn't be, Liu Wenju's caravan, can it still be Liu Wenju's own people who can't rob it?" ”

Cui Hansheng said: "If you ask, just ask!" ”

Qi Dian nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, brother-in-law, I will do whatever you ask me to do." ”

Cui Hansheng sighed, and said in his heart that this kind of waste, if he didn't rely on the fact that he was the governor of Xinzhou, he could be the head catcher?

He was silent for a while and then said: "This Liu Wenju is not a fuel-efficient lamp, don't be too polite after you go, just say that it's a big trouble, let him know anything and say it quickly." ”

Qi Dian said: "Okay, I'll ask him directly if you did it, if you sent someone to rob your own caravan, my God, he can do such a crazy thing!" ”

Cui Hansheng glanced at Qi Dian and sighed heavily.

Official post.

Li Qi looked at Yi Cheng and smiled, this smile startled people.

Li Qi asked, "Is the Liu family in Xinzhou very famous?" ”

Yi Cheng hurriedly replied: "It is the biggest businessman in the city, and most of the casinos in the city belong to the Liu family. ”

Li Qi sighed, and said in his heart that the people who are engaged in the business of the casino Qinglou are all clean.

After he asked some things about the Liu family, he turned around and went back to the house, and said with a smile: "Now let's divide the labor, the Liu family's biggest business is the Qinglou and the casino, let's divide it into two teams, one team goes to the Qinglou and the other team goes to the casino, first explore the details." ”

The long-eyebrow Taoist said a little cowardly: "I'm not good at gambling." ”

Mr. Yan squinted at him.

The long-eyed Taoist hurriedly explained: "I'm serious. ”

Yu Jiuling said: "In this way, Li Qi and I will go to the casino to see the situation, and the Taoist and Mr. will go to the Qinglou." ”

Yan Qing was stunned: "Why should I go?" ”

The long-eyebrow Taoist looked at him, his eyes flashed pitifully a few times, and in desperation, Yan Qing said: "It's okay to go...... I don't have any money. ”

Li Qi said: "There are two big boxes in our car......

Yu Jiuling said: "In the final analysis, I would like to thank the second master of Yanshan Camp for donating-prostitution-funding. ”

The face of the long-eyebrow Daoist turned slightly red, and Mr. Yan turned his head to look out the window.
