Besides, Li Bo took people to Yizhuang, Sun Lin was lying on the bed, and his body was already cold. He came over to report the situation and confirmed that Sun Lin had indeed died of suffocation from vomit. "Where did you find him?"

The official who received the report stood up, "Lord Hui, what is the tavern thirty meters to the east." ”

"That's very close to the county government."

"Lord Hui, there is a tavern more than 150 meters south is the county office, yesterday the brothers followed Wang Guang on patrol, and I did see Sun Lin drinking in the tavern, and he was still there when he came back from patrolling."

"Then he's the one you died between the time you came back from your patrol and this morning. Walk to the tavern. ”

A group of people hurried to the tavern, which was different from other restaurants, and the owner was just about to open and was dismantling the board. "Where's your boss?"

"This errand officer, Xiao Lao'er is the owner of this shop, I am a small business, and the shopkeeper is my son, dare to ask the adults what is the matter?"

"I'm Master Shexian, did the former Master Sun Lin drink with you yesterday?"

"Yes, he often comes to my place to drink, but yesterday he drank enough for one day, I saw that he was not very sober, I originally wanted to ask my son to send him back, but he said no, there were customers in the store again, we didn't care about him anymore, and then he left by himself. This old man, I don't know if he is ......"

"Was there anything unusual about him at your place yesterday except for drinking?"

"Abnormal? Hey, this Sun Lin has always been taciturn, and he rarely interacts with people, he just drinks, and there is nothing abnormal about him. ”

"So someone is chatting with him? Have you met anyone? ”

"This master, there are only two people in the shop, me and my son, if he says that he may meet someone, but the little old man has not seen it."

"What about your son?"

"Oh, wait a minute." The tavern owner shouted into the house: "Gang, Gang, did you see Sun Lin say anything to anyone yesterday?" ”

He Gang was drinking in the store, and he didn't come out, but only shouted, "No." ”

The boss nodded slightly at Li Bo, "Look, no." ”

"Then when did Sun Lin leave the tavern?"

"Shen time, it shouldn't be more than unitary time."

"Okay, I'm sorry." Li Bo turned to the guards and said, "Check immediately, when Shen Shi is not too late, go from here to the place where Sun Lin died, and see who has seen Sun Lin and said something." ”

"Yes." The officials were ordered to start asking from house to house, but at a short distance of 30 meters, many small vendors were already out of their stalls at any morning, and it was convenient to ask.

After a while, all the servants had returned, "My lord, yesterday someone saw him coming out of the tavern and talking to a woman for a while, and then the woman placed him on the side of the road and walked away by herself, and then Sun Lin lay on the ground, and when the merchants left, they saw him still lying on the ground. ”

"Who saw it? A person has been lying on the ground for so long, and no one has reported to the official, and he hasn't even looked at it? ”

The official was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "My lord, they are all small merchants and hawkers, and this street is so close to the tavern, and there are many people who drink too much, so I really can't control it." ”

Li Bo felt that he couldn't send out any fire, so he asked again: "Does anyone know that woman?" ”

"My lord, the little one has already invited the painter to come, and I will know it soon."

"Okay, it's drawn and the whole city is looking for it, I must know what they said." Li Bo sat in the tavern and waited, and after half an hour, the official got the portrait and did not dare to delay and hurriedly handed it to Li Bo.

"My lord, look at this ......"

Li Bo saw that the official looked different, and quickly took the portrait to see that it was Wu Yi. "Why is it Wu Yi?"

"The painter showed the vendor when he finished drawing, and he said that it was not bad, it was this man."

"Let's go." Li Bo took the portrait back to the yamen, and before he entered the door, he shouted: "Wu Yi, Wu Yi." ”

Wu Yi was helping Huanting build a swing when she heard someone shouting that she hurriedly agreed. Li Bo was in a hurry, and when he came up, he asked, "Did you see Sun Lin yesterday?" ”

"What Sun Lin?"

"It's the master from before."

"I don't know any masters."

"Nonsense!" Li Bo presented the portrait to Wu Yi, "Look at it, isn't this you?" Yesterday someone saw you talking to Sun Lin and put him on the side of the road. ”

"Roadside?" Wu Yi took his portrait and looked at how he looked, "This is me." Oh yes, there was a guy who drank too much yesterday and I put him on the side of the road to sober him up, what's wrong? ”

"So you don't know him?"

"I don't know."

"And what did he tell you?"

"Say what? Hey, just drank too much, some, um... Say what came from. Wu Yi thought for a long time, what did that person say?

Li Bo was anxious, "Oh, you hurry up and think about it." ”

"Hmm...... He said he wasn't drunk. Also, oops, he wasn't drunk. ”

Li Bo looked at Wu Yi as unreliable, and he didn't remember anything at the critical moment. "It's done, I think you're just going to be a maid for others in your life."

"Hey." Wu Yi glanced at Li Bo and continued to ride the swing, "What's wrong with being a maid, you adults are good?" I see that you are frowning every day, one thing after another, is that okay? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Qi came from nowhere.

Wu Yi pouted, and Li Bo didn't speak.

"Wu Yi, we are the first official, for the people, and for the country, and we have an unshirkable responsibility."

Wu Yi took the swing and said: "You want to do it for the Great Zhou, the emperor doesn't think so, you have changed from the prefect to the county." You want to do it for the sake of the people, and the people hide behind your backs and scold you, but you just don't hear it. ”

Zhou Qi knew that what Wu Yi said was the truth, but what could he do even if he was wronged, he was the national righteousness since he was a child, and the elders in the family also sacrificed for Da Zhou, he was just demoted, and he was scolded by the masses who didn't know the truth, what was it.

"As long as the official line is done right, it is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."

Wu Yicai didn't understand his reasoning, she just wanted to live a good day, and one day she and Li Laosi would no longer work for others, and she couldn't control anything else. Wu Yi listened to Li Bo's report on Sun Lin's situation, "Why did he die." ”

"I said I choked on vomit, but Wu Yi, you put him on the side of the road yesterday."

"Libo!" Zhou Qi scolded Li Bo loudly, Li Bo quickly stood up and peeked at Wu Yi, but Wu Yi's heart sank, he did put Sun Lin on the side of the road yesterday. "Wu Yi."

"Huh?"

"You think about what Sun Lin said yesterday, it's very important."

"Oh, good." Wu Yi thought while riding the swing, Zhou Qi instructed Li Bo: "I asked you to check Sun Lin's situation yesterday, and now you take someone to investigate carefully, I want to know where his former wife and children went, and why he went to the temple and what he asked for." ”

At this time, Qian Duo was upset in the center of his home, and Zhang Ling came to comfort him again. "Duoduo, it's all wrong to blame me, if only I hadn't mentioned Lord Zhou yesterday."

Zhang Ling took out a white jade bracelet from his cuff, "Duoduo, this bracelet was brought back to me by my father when he went back to Hui to do business, and I don't bring it much to run a business, so I might as well give it to you." ”

Zhang Ling saw that Qian Duo didn't speak, and said again: "Duoduo, it's all my fault, if you refuse to accept it, I always feel that I can't bear it, it's all my fault, I, I don't have the face to come back in the future." ”

Hearing this, Qian Duo took the bracelet over, "Sister Zhang Ling, if it weren't for that Wu Yi, how could I be so humiliated." ”

Zhang Lingcha was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly said: "Forget it, Duoduo, it must be that Lord Zhou saw that you deliberately embarrassed her in the opening of the school, so he was angry with that girl, how can we girls compete with men, and how dare we merchants provoke housekeepers." That Wu Yi is now on the list of Lord Zhou, where can we move, I look at you, just swallow this breath, forget it. ”

"No!" Qian Duo stood up excitedly, "Wu Yi, just a girl, she began to lie to my brother, and then to my father, and now they are all bullying me!" Do you really think that there is no one in our Qian family? No, I must let her know that she can't have the final say in this Huizhou city. ”

Zhang Ling also stood up and continued to persuade: "Duoduo, but you are in this deep mansion compound, she is in the county government, what can you do with her?" ”

"Hmph." Qian Duo gritted his teeth, "Sister Zhang Ling, haven't you been to the county government recently?" Can I help me see what that girl is up to? When will they all come out? ”

Zhang Ling was embarrassed, "This, Duoduo." ”

"Sister Zhang Ling, you also said that Lord Zhou is a good official, right, as the people of Huizhou, we can't let her be bullied by a Shandong girl, we still have to expose her true colors!"

Zhang Ling hesitated again and again, as if he had made a lot of determination, "Nacheng, for the sake of Huizhou, I will go and help you find out." ”

Qian Duo finally smiled and nodded heavily, "En! ”

Zhang Ling came out of Qian Duo's room and saw Qian Ning reading a book under the corridor, so he took two steps, "Qian Ning." ”

Qian Ning looked up and saw Zhang Ling, and smiled slightly, "But I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

"yes, what are you looking at?" Zhang Ling sat next to Qian Ning, and saw that Qian Ning was reading the three-character scripture, Qian Ning was embarrassed to put the book away, but felt that it was too deliberate, Zhang Ling smiled: "What, do you want to learn it from time to time?" ”

Qian Ning only smiled and didn't answer, "Oh yes, how is Lord Zhou?" ”

"I don't know him very well, why do you come to ask me?"

"Oh, it's nothing, just asking. Alas, people have good and bad luck, and no one can say anything about officialdom, but it's a pity. ”

"Pity? I don't think it's a big deal. "Zhang Ling thinks that he is a prince, and there are occasional disgraces, and there are losses and profits in business, and even she thinks that this is God giving herself another chance, so that she can take advantage of it." But Channing ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm...... I saw Wu Yi in the county office, we businessmen know how to weigh the pros and cons best, speculate on people's hearts, I have never understood why Wu Yi took so much money from his uncle and aunt to leave you, but finally donated it to the school, why she could be a young grandmother but finally chose to be a maid for Lord Zhou. Alas, maybe people are different after all, but I really can't understand it. ”
