Zhou Qi listened to Wu Yi's words, remembered that he was lying in bed last night, and finally got up in the middle of the night to check the file, and finally had some clues.

If you give up for the sake of your own gain or loss, what is the difference between yourself and those who bend the law for their own gain?

Thinking so, Zhou Qi returned to the study again, Li Bo and Zhang Ling were still standing in front of the desk, Zhou Qi ordered: "This official is determined to investigate the murder of Sun Lin's wife and children," Zhou Qi shouted to the distance: "He Ping, He Ping." ”

Peace hurriedly ran over, "The villain is here." ”

"Li Bo, He Ping, the case file is on the table, I must investigate this matter clearly, you guys come here."

Zhou Qiyuguang saw what Li Bo wanted to say, so he took the lead in speaking, "This is a decision, not a discussion." Saying that, Zhou Qi came to the side of the file, "Unrelated personnel, please go out." ”

Zhang Ling glanced at Li Bo, Li Bo saw that it was irretrievable, so it was better to help Zhang Ling eliminate Wu Yi's threat first, so he hurriedly said: "Oh, I think the one who is more familiar with Sun Lin now is the host, if there are any questions, Miss Zhang needs to ask." ”

Zhou Qi glanced at Zhang Ling, "Okay, but this is a matter of the Yamen, pay attention to confidentiality." ”

"Don't worry, Master Zhou, I understand the rules."

Zhou Qi felt that there was not much time, and there was no need to say kind words.

"Yesterday I saw that on July 13, thirteen years ago, Sun Lin's wife Liu and son Sun Chao were killed in their home. In the afternoon of the same day, the neighbor Granny Wang, seeing that the Liu family had not come out for a day, came to Liu's house to see if there was anything wrong, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw that the two were killed, and Granny Wang hurriedly reported to the official.

The autopsy showed that both of them were killed by blunt objects, and the time difference was almost the same, because there was no food left in the stomach, so the two should have just gotten up not long ago, and they had not had time to eat breakfast.

The child was killed by one blow, the adult was beaten to a bloody pulp, and the most terrible thing was that the murderer was still cooking at Liu's house and took away all the silver. ”

"The Liu family is a small family, how much money can they have?" Zhang Ling really couldn't understand this kind of behavior of risking his life just for a small amount of money, and he also killed women and children. Such people are even more hateful than the robbers.

Li Bo said: "There are also murders disguised as robbery, killing people first and then taking all the money, and it is also possible to induce the direction of the case." ”

"If it is a vendetta, who will their orphans and widows offend?"

Li Bo flipped through the file and saw that there was a death certificate after Granny Wang's confession, "After a long time, even Granny Wang, who found the body, passed away four years later, and it is not easy to find out." ”

Zhou Qi also discovered, "Thirteen years ago, Liu and Sun Chao were killed at home, because it was early in the morning, and no one in the neighbors saw the murderer. Ten years ago, the previous magistrate Wei Zhizhou took office and re-investigated the case, but found nothing, and the magistrate also investigated five years ago, but still found nothing. ”

Zhang Ling suddenly said: "That's strange, Sun Lin is the master, the case of his wife and children has been re-investigated, he will definitely go all out to find the murderer, but why hasn't he done anything, and there has been no progress?" ”

"yes." Zhou Qi frowned, this Sun Lin is really strange. "Li Bo, do you know what happened to the first three magistrates? How have they performed in other positions? ”

"Oh, I checked, those three are all mediocre, I think it may have nothing to do with Sun Lin, because they went to other positions and had mediocre political achievements and no achievements. However, when Liu and Sun Chao were killed, he served as Tian Shouquan of the county, and when he was the first to serve as the county governor, his political achievements were quite eye-catching, and he even repaired water conservancy projects, but in the year when the two were killed, his evaluation suddenly changed from A to C. ”

"If there is a murder case, the evaluation will definitely be lower."

"But in the future, he is all C, even if he goes to other counties, he is still C."

Zhang Ling speculated: "Could it be because he used to be a good official, but I don't know why he had a different view of officialdom." ”

Li Bo is very optimistic that this case can be solved: "What will be the reason?" ”

"No, I must go to the place where Liu and Sun Chao were killed." After Zhou Qi finished speaking, he walked out, Li Bo and Zhang Ling followed, Zhou Qi only turned around slightly, "Don't come, I don't think it's good if there are too many people." ”

Zhang Ling and Li Bo were stunned for a moment, but Li Bo stopped Zhang Ling. "Why are you stopping me?"

"Didn't you listen to him?"

"But Lord Zhou is alone, what if there is danger?"

"Come on, there's no nasty person hanging around since I became the county magistrate."

"What do you mean?"

Li Bo is also broken and broken now, "In the past, there was a shadow around the prefect's yamen, and it was quite powerful at first, but then I was scared twice by our adults and didn't dare to move, but now that the adult has become the prefect, it seems that he has nothing to do with his master, so he disappeared." ”

"Are you sure?"

Li Bo looked at Zhang Ling and laughed, "What? Before you enter the door, you're worried about adults? ”

Zhang Ling glanced at Li Bo, "Now is not the time to joke, I want to ask Lord Li, how can you let Lord Zhou and Wu Yi be together openly now?" ”

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Oh, I see, do you want to sneak back to Beijing in more than a month and get rid of me?"

"How is that possible. Now that Lord Zhou is not going out alone, let's help him create a little trouble, and then let Wu Yi save him. ”

"What if it's self-defeating? If Lord Zhou and Wu Yi live and die together, what should I do? ”

"Don't worry, Master Zhou and I grew up from childhood to adulthood, let's put it this way, as long as it is said by the emperor, he will definitely listen to it, and the emperor hates those who are blackmailed the most."

"Alright, let's do it now."

Li Bo smiled, "Served the princess so early? But it doesn't matter, although I think it's incredible, but fortunately, I'm used to being told, you see. ”

Li Bo came out of the study and saw that Wu Yi was cleaning the dead branches and rotten leaves in the yard, Li Bo pretended to be nervous and walked to the swing, Wu Yi was still tidying up the flowers and plants that had withered, Li Bo turned around twice in place, Wu Yi finally got Li Bo's idea, "Lord Li? ”

"Oh, what should I do? Oops. ”

"What's wrong?" Wu Yi hurriedly came to Li Bo's side, "What's wrong?" ”

"I, I, oops, I really don't know whether to say it or not."

"Hurry up, it's really urgent."

"It's all my fault, I should have stopped Lord Zhou just now, if you said that if he was in danger, how could I explain it to his parents."

"Out of danger? What dangers? Wu Yi grabbed Li Bo and asked, "What's wrong with Lord Zhou?" What's in danger? ”

"Uh."

"Hurry up!"

"Okay, I thought it was nothing, but you think, Lord Zhou wants to investigate the old case more than ten years ago, and the three former counties have not investigated it clearly, and this Sun Lin died unexpectedly, I was thinking, you say, you said that if you made a mistake, Sun Lin did not die accidentally, but premeditated, then, will Lord Zhou be in danger?"

"Then hurry up and find him!"

"He won't let me follow him, and besides, I have to report the investigation of the case, otherwise the case may not be able to continue the investigation."

"So, what about the guards?"

"Guards? Well, they have to patrol, they're all out on the streets. ”

"That." Wu Yi was also anxious, and Li Bo hurriedly suggested: "Wu Yi, Wu Yi, why don't you help me get him back, didn't he just go out for a while?" You, can you? ”

"Okay, where did Lord Zhou go?"

"It's the tavern that day, and further west, it's at 117 West Street."

After hearing this, Wu Yi hurriedly threw down the big scissors and ran out, Li Bo looked at Wu Yi's back, heard Zhang Ling walking over slowly, and said while thinking: "Do you say this woman is too stupid or does she also like Lord Zhou?" ”

Zhang Ling looked at the empty doorway, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Alas, it's all because our Lord Zhou is too charming, Miss Zhang, if you really marry into the royal family in the future, you may be able to see this situation every day." Li Bo looked at Zhang Ling again and teased: "Is this still what you want?" ”

Zhang Ling stood stunned for a long time, if there is a better choice, marrying into the royal family is certainly not a good choice, but if you can choose, who is willing to calculate the future? Zhang Ling is iron-hearted, this time, she must do this big business. Li Bo organized manpower to plan to "attack" Zhou Qi.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"What the official said just now is very clear, and you also understand it very clearly."

"Your Excellency." He Ping stood up, "I waited to leave Beijing to protect the five princes, and now that the adults want us to do such an act, where do you want to put me?" ”

"Lord He, this official is the companion of the five princes, so naturally the safety of the five princes comes first. But everyone, you are out of Beijing as the guards of the five princes, if the five princes fail, you will naturally be blamed, but you must understand that if the five princes do not return to Beijing when the time comes. Li Bo paused and looked around at everyone, "Can all of you still go back to Beijing?" ”

He Ping still didn't quite understand, "Why don't the five princes want to go back to Beijing?" ”

"Alas, young man, what can I say as a companion?"

"My lord is saying that the fifth prince has a personal affair with his children? And with whom? ”

"Wu Yi."

Everyone was stunned, "My lord? ”

"The official didn't dare to believe it at first, but the adults had already told me, I said, can the emperor and queen agree? He said that he was in Huizhou anyway, and the emperor was beyond the reach of the whip. But ladies and gentlemen, this world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, even if the five princes leave the capital, or even flee from Huizhou, where can they go? How long can you hide? ”

"Are you sure, sir?"

"You also know that the sixth princess had already returned to Beijing to prepare for marriage, but the fifth prince didn't want his sister to marry far away, so he returned to Beijing and took away the sixth princess. You also have a lot of connections with the capital, and those who are well-informed should also know that the Prime Minister's people are searching for the two of them on the street, if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, how could the Prime Minister do such an impulsive thing.

But after all, our five princes are talented and intelligent, and they have successfully escaped from the capital. Although I don't want to reveal any news about the five princes, if the five princes fail to return to Beijing in the end, how should I, Li Bo, face the prime minister? How should I face the emperor? And how should you face the elders in the family? Alas. ”

In fact, the guards are all from large families, and there are no longer a few people who know that the prime minister's family is searching for people on the street, but they don't know who to search, and now I understand when I hear Li Bo say this. "Master Li, then if we hurt Wu Yi, will the five princes be able to return to Beijing?"

Seeing that everyone was shaken, Li Bo hurriedly continued to explain, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have also been following the Five Princes for so long, this official knows the Five Princes best, he never wants others to be hurt for himself, as long as you pretend to be from the capital, he will definitely return to Beijing." ”

"Everyone is masked, how do you know where it is?"

"Hahaha, isn't it easy to shout two sentences of Beijing films? After all, in this south, the Beijing accent is still easy to distinguish. ”
