Seeing that Yan Qiu'er was not interested, Chi Qiu had to stop, was silent for a while, and the topic turned to the case again.

"This fire case, you just said water...... It's deep, could it be ......," Yan Su'er asked suspiciously.

Chi Qiu sighed, at this moment, the autumn cold is steep, and it is not realistic to want to spend the moon before the moon, but now that the beauty is on the side, this situation can be regarded as a cold moon like a dream, and suddenly talking about the bloody case, it is really a bit of a bad scenery, but he still thought about it and said: "Yes, it is obvious that Peicheng is out of control, this case, no matter what the outcome is, you don't want to interfere anymore, just report it to your father." ”

"What? Peicheng is out of control? Yan Su'er was dumbfounded, where would she have thought that the situation was so serious, and asked in a low voice, "You mean that there is a force in Peicheng?" ”

This is not Chi Qiu alarmist, he has also been the fifth prince in the Western Regions for many years, in the process of the gradual growth of the Xiting tribe and the annexation of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, most of the stewards who stayed in the conquered tribes are Xiting warriors, these people treat the conquered, full of contempt, careless human life, and unreported incidents, which can be described as endless, Chi Qiu knows very well that once there are cases under these rules, the attitude of the superior decides everything, the Peicheng fire case, no matter how tortuous the original is, but the arson is not difficult to find, but no, That shows that there must be a big problem in Peicheng's officialdom, whether it is bullying the superiors or concealing the subordinates, or deliberately whitewashing the peace, it is certain that it will be out of control.

It's as if he had seen and watched "The Hongwu Case", introducing the "Kaiji's Death Row Prisoner Top Bag Case" during the Hongwu period, this kind of case seems to be the criminal department's Shangshu Kaiji who was greedy for bribes and privately released a death row prisoner, which seems very simple, in fact, it means that the collapse of the entire criminal department is by no means a matter of power oppression by the superiors, but a systemic problem.

How much do you have to despise your own people to make this kind of criminal case become an ordinary fire case? No matter how brilliant Yan Qu's exploits are, it is difficult to escape the blame. At the very least, he had a big problem with his control over his own office.

"You said that Yan Qu, the guard of Peicheng, is your nephew? Quenching is not three points of water plus a pawn. ”

"Yes," Yan Su'er exclaimed, "What do you mean?" Is the chess in the maid's belly a pawn? In fact, it is believed that the murderer is the nephew of the Yan Qu clan? ”

"This still needs to be carefully examined, for example, this chess piece was swallowed by the maid herself? It's still stuffed in. If she swallowed it herself, if someone else forced her to swallow it and confused the direction of criminal investigation, the maid was not dead at that time, after all, she struggled ......"

"But everyone is scorched, and no matter how hard they struggle, there is no evidence."

"Scratches!" Chi Qiu explained: "If you swallow it yourself, your throat and esophagus are soft, and the chess will not be affected much, but if it is forced, the maid will definitely struggle, and there will always be scratches on the chess, I personally prefer that the maid swallows it by herself before she dies, and the fire is all over the sky, if you hold the chess in your hand, who knows if it will be burned?" Only by swallowing it in the stomach can this clue be preserved. Of course, this requires a detailed inspection. ”

Yan Su'er frowned, feeling more and more uneasy in her heart, and couldn't help but ask coldly: "These wicked people can't die well, I'm going to go to Yan Quan to ask for clarification." ”

"It's all said that you don't want to get involved anymore, this matter is a matter of one party, and only the city lord can decide how to deal with it."

"Huh? Could it be that in this case, he was in a high position and was extrajudicially forgiven? Yan Su'er was indignant, and her little fists clenched.

"I don't mean to say that the city lord will be gracious, but ......" Chi Qiu patiently explained: "Let's put it this way, if Yan Qu covets women, forces Mrs. Li Guo, and arson after the incident, if it is really because of the lust, it is better to say, a pen official can bring him here." But what if not? Is there greed, dereliction of duty, and even deception behind this case? Or is there any conspiracy and other unknown factors, if you come forward to interrogate him, isn't it to startle the snake? You also said that Yan Quan has been in charge of Peicheng for more than ten years, and he has a very good reputation, but when there is such a case of careless care for people's lives under his rule, can it be understood that many of his reviews are fake? If it is fake, then why is he whitewashing his merits? is the so-called traitor Fang Dashan, what he is plotting may not be something you and I can imagine. ”

"He wants to rebel?" Yan Su'er was surprised.

Chi Qiu made a shushing gesture and looked around before saying: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he doesn't want to, it is obvious that there is a force in Peicheng officialdom that defies the laws of Yanhu, and if you want to investigate, it must be your father who has arranged it first, otherwise it will be easy to make trouble." ”

Chi Qiu was also a snake bite for ten years afraid of the well rope, when his father helped him propose, to the Uighur tribe in every way, before the marriage once turned his face, can be described as a chicken dog does not stay, this kind of traitorous and evil people are really difficult to use common sense to deduce, this fire case before and after what kind of conspiracy is hidden, no one knows, the best way is to send an envoy to the city lord, secretly visit, in order to get to the bottom of the matter.

Why is a case so complicated, Yan Su'er seems to not know Chi Qiu: "What you said is too unbelievable, there are so many scruples in a case, I can't think of so many even a hundred heads, you were really the porter of the canal wharf before?" ”

Chi Qiu smiled: "It's the head of the picker." ”

Yan Su'er glanced at her, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Zhou Rong rushing over: "Chi ...... Engong, where have you been, the slave has been looking for you for a long time. ”

Although he was wearing a robe, Zhou Rong's hair was covered with rain, and his face was pale, and he probably didn't even eat dinner.

Chi Qiu secretly felt guilty when she saw it, could it be that she had found herself for a day?

"Don't call me Engong, how awkward."

"Then I'll call you sir."

Chi Qiu lowered his eyebrows: "Am I that old?" And isn't the lord a title only for people who should be officials? ”

"Then me."

Yan Su'er smiled: "The deed of sale is in your hands, aren't you the master?" ”

"No, no, I can return your deed of sale to you at any time." Thinking of today's events, Chi Qiu was really embarrassed, and he was extremely worried that Zhou Rong would say it and ruin his image.

"Sir...... Master, don't you dare, you don't want our mother and daughter to live. ”

Yan Su'er watched the play on the side, her status and status, she felt that it was normal to have a few slaves, although this Chi Qiu kept saying that it was the porter of the dock, she didn't believe it, in her eyes, even if Chi Qiu didn't have Ling Yunzhi, he could make a family life, and it would be normal for someone to serve him in the future, but when she thought of having such a charming and moving young woman with her, she didn't feel a taste in her heart.

"Don't, don't call the master, you don't have a handprint on the deed of sale, you can't count it, besides, I also handed over your daughter's deed of sale to you, you just tear it up." Chi Qiu was sweating anxiously, Zhou Rong's mother and daughter had an unusual relationship with him, and he didn't dare to use these two slaves. "In the future, you and your daughter will be free people, just like Doctor Qi, don't be a slave to others, what's good about being a slave, isn't it good to be an upright person?"

This is to the point, Yan Su'er squinted her eyes, and a familiar figure came in the distance, it turned out that Xiao Yan saw that the little county lord had not returned, and she also held an umbrella and came out to look for her, Yan Su'er was reluctant in every way, so she had to follow Xiao Yan back to Jinxiang Garden first.

Chi Qiu had no choice but to follow Zhou Rong to the Qi family's courtyard.

Entering the courtyard gate, Qi Xiaofei said with a sour tone: "I still don't want you to come back?" ”

"I'll bother you for another day, I'll be in the city today, it's too late, I'll just go back to the Boundary Hall tomorrow."

"Hmph, whatever you want." Qi Xiaofei said in a weird manner: "I am a widow's yard, you are a man, you are injured, I will take you to live here, and I am not afraid of the gossip of neighbors, but if you bully men and women in this courtyard and dare to do evil in my yard, I am not so easy to deal with." ”

Chi Qiu sighed: "In the morning, I ......" He wanted to say that his brain was hot, and he actually hugged Xu Qing'er, but what can this explain? What guy doesn't have a hot brain when he is thin and thin? It's really getting darker and darker, and I just keep silent.

After being silent for a while, Zhou Rong saw this and went to do hot water, Qi Xiaofei got up to leave, Chi Qiu shouted: "If their mother and daughter don't have a place to go, Doctor Qi will see if you can live here now, the silver that Dew Zhangtai brought today can be regarded as house money, at that time, Zhou Rongruo looked for an errand, earned two silver and then found a house to move out?" ”

"What? Are you going to leave it alone? ”
