Qin Yiming walked into the cell where Kang Yingyuan lived, the body was no longer there, but some clues could still be seen, there was some wine and meat on the small table, wine glasses were poured on the table, and the hay on the ground was very messy, and it looked like he had struggled in pain before he died.

How could a person who wanted to die struggle so much, how could the son of a big family like Kang Yingyuan give up the bright and colorful world outside, and how could he be willing to commit suicide? Qin Yiming absolutely didn't believe this.

"How did he die? Hang oneself? Qin Yiming asked.

None of the people next to him spoke, and Du Xun stepped forward at this time and whispered: "Lord Qin, a lowly businessman, he doesn't have to care about his life or death. ”

Qin Yiming was angry, but it was not good to attack in front of this eunuch, he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said: "Gonggong Du, this Kang Yingyuan is a key witness, his death is nothing, but wouldn't I be innocent by jumping into the Yellow River?" ”

Du Xun waved his hand at the people around him, motioned for them to stand back, and then said: "Hehe, Lord Qin is worried about this, Lord Qin rest assured, this Kang Yingyuan's testimony has been burned by Gonggong Gao!" ”

"This testimony has been handed to the emperor, and Gonggong Gao dares to burn it? Besides, it's useless to burn it, the emperor has seen it. ”

Du Xun whispered: "Hehe, the emperor's love for Lord Qin, Du is really envious, it was the emperor who asked Gonggong Gao to burn the testimony, not to hide it from Lord Qin, this Kang Yingyuan is also the emperor's dictation, which made him commit suicide in fear of sin!" ”

"The emperor's dictation!?" Qin Yiming was speechless in shock, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Du Xun said: "The emperor thinks that if this testimony is seen by the people in the outer court, then Lord Qin will be very troublesome, so the emperor issued such an edict in order to protect Lord Qin, and Lord Qin must understand the emperor's painstaking efforts." Hehe, Lord Qin, we are all courtiers, it doesn't matter what we do, what matters is what the emperor thinks, if the emperor doesn't care, it doesn't matter if we are wrong, if the emperor thinks that what we are doing is right, we can still get the favor of the Sacred Heart. After Du Xun finished speaking, he looked at Qin Yiming with envy.

"Emperor Xie is sympathetic, but this person died in prison, how can he explain to the people outside?" Qin Yiming understood that many things were just based on one person's likes and dislikes, but now that Kang Yingyuan is dead after all, how can he explain it.

"Hehe, confess, what is there to explain to a person who died in Jinyiwei Prison, don't say that he is a lowly businessman, he is a court official, if he is dead, he is not dead!" When Du Xun spoke, the corner of his eyes glanced at Chen Xinjia in the next cell, and his face was full of indifference.

Sure enough, it's a black prison! Qin Yiming slandered in his heart, but fortunately, at least he didn't say that he was hiding from the cat.

"Du's father-in-law, has Li Jiantai's son-in-law Li Guohao been brought?"

"I'll bring it." Du Xun walked out, and he was heard shouting: "Zhang Zongqi, escort Li Guohao to the interrogation room." ”

Qin Yiming came to the interrogation room, and the two brocade guards escorted Li Guohao over, Li Guohao was so frightened that his face was pale and his legs and feet were weak.

"You all go out, I'll interrogate myself." Qin Yiming saw that the two people who escorted Li Guohao were still there, so he spoke.

"My lord, this ....... We're here to keep adults safe. Zhang San was a little worried.

"I have to work for you, but I shouldn't need it."

"My lord, these people are not honest and must be tortured, and we can also help adults come up with ideas here."

Qin Yiming saw that these two people were so persistent, so he didn't force it, and said to Li Guohao: "Li Gongzi, I will ask you a question when I asked you to come today, on the day of your wedding, did you lose something important." ”

"Lord Qin, now the entire Jingshi knows that I lost something that day, do you still have to ask.......

"I don't mean pamphlets. It's salt induction! ”

"Salt...... Pull? Li Guohao's eyes rolled, his fingers suddenly clenched, and he thought for a while and said, "No...... I didn't lose it, it's still in my house! ”

"Really? If you lie, you won't get out of here. ”

Qin Yiming's eyes stared directly at Li Guohao, and Li Guohao's uncomfortable behavior made Qin Yiming confirm that Li Guohao was lying.

"Nope! I didn't lose it! Li Guohao held on.

"My lord, this kid doesn't tell the truth, let me pull him out and torture him to ensure that he confesses." Zhang Zongqi shouted on the side.

"Zhang San, Lord Qin is trying the case, what are you talking about!" Du Xun was displeased, this three was neither big nor small, so he opened his mouth to teach a lesson.

Zhang San was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, Qin Yiming said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is also kind, Du's father-in-law must not blame, but whether Gongzi Li told the truth or not, you will know at a try." It's not early today, I will go to the Li Mansion in person tomorrow, as long as the Li Mansion can really take out this salt, Li Gongzi will not lie. ”

It was indeed not early, Qin Yiming got up and went back to the Jingshi Inn.

Back at the Jingshi Inn, Song Xiance, who had not been seen for a long time, was smoking dry tobacco, Chen Yuanyuan and Qiuyue Qiuxiang had already packed their clothes and were ready to flee for their lives, and the little monkey was playing with Ah Hua.

"Young Master."

"Qin Lang, you're back."

"Lord Qin, we are all ready, we can leave at any time."

When several people saw Qin Yiming coming back, they all stood up nervously. Everyone's expressions were serious and nervous, only Song Xiance looked relaxed, smoking a big cigarette like an uncle, without the slightest worried look.

"Don't go, a false alarm!"

The little monkey relaxed, and Qiu Xiang said casually: "What Mr. Song said is true, don't worry, a few of us are scared to death." ”

Qin Yiming heard Qiu Xiang say this, and it seemed that Song Xiance had already seen through everything, "Oh, Song Shenzhu, do you know that this time is just a thrill?" ”

Song Xiance looked like he was ignoring it, and said slowly: "Go? Where to go? Can you run a monk or a temple? If you go like this, won't your previous efforts be wasted? ”

Qin Yiming nodded, indeed, if Chongzhen really doubted himself, then everything he owned would be lost, and in his hometown of De'an Mansion, he couldn't take his belongings away. After struggling for so long, such a little bit of accumulation, if Chongzhen didn't trust himself, he would have returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, and he wouldn't even have the opportunity to start from scratch. Before there is no self-protection ability, it is really important to gain Chongzhen's trust.

"Mr. Song, have you ever seen Yanyin?"

"Of course I did!" Song Xiance was quite disdainful.

"Then do you have a way to get a fake salt lead?" Qin Yiming asked.

When the little monkey heard that Qin Yiming was going to do something unreliable again, he became worried and said, "Young Master, this is a crime, if it is known by the government, it will be terrible!" ”

Song Xiance came to his senses at this time, he knew that Qin Yiming must be trying to trick people, so he put down the dry tobacco stick, leaned over and asked, "You evil star, what do you want to fake salt?" Who do you want to pit? Is it related to a recent case? ”

Looking at the worried looks of Chen Yuanyuan, Qiu Yue Qiu Xiang and others, Qin Yiming smiled and said: "Li Guohao's wedding, on the surface, is a theft case, but this link is one after another, tightly seamless, and there is no mistake, causing turmoil in the government and the opposition, this case looks confusing on the surface, but I can be sure that the mastermind behind this scene has at least two purposes, one of which is to get the Li family's salt lead, although I don't know how he got the salt lead, but I'm sure he has got it." I was suspicious of the Fan family before, but this salt introduction is already within easy reach for the Fan family, and it doesn't seem reasonable to take such a big risk. So I don't know who is the mastermind. ”

"Will the Fan family save 1.2 million taels of silver?" The little monkey guessed.

"Can't be ruled out." Qin Yiming nodded.

"And what about the second purpose?" Song Xiance Qiuxiang asked.

Qin Yiming continued: "Shandong map, this must be related to Guanwai. So I suspect that this matter has something to do with Aobai, who lives in Jingshi. "The Fan family has collusion with Guanwai, but it cannot be ruled out that other people have no affair with Guanwai, so they still can't lock the target, after all, there are many traitors these days.

Everyone felt that it was very reasonable, and nodded one after another, and Song Xiance said: "Now that the two countries are spying on each other, this is also normal, hey, it's a pity that the senior officials in the DPRK and China are busy with infighting, and it doesn't matter about this matter at all." ”

"Ao Bai is the identity of the messenger, and no one dares to touch him without tangible evidence." Qin Yiming said.

"So you want to lure the snake out of the hole with fake salt?" Song Xiance had a very good brain, and he guessed Qin Yiming's thoughts at once.

Qin Yiming smiled, and suddenly said to the little monkey: "Tomorrow, you and Qiuyue Qiuxiang are waiting outside the Jinyi Guard's yamen, after this fake salt is introduced, if anyone sneaks out, you follow him, see where he goes, let's lead the snake out of the hole and follow the vine." ”

"Yes, young master."

Forbidden City platform.

Chongzhen was busy watching the twists and turns, and there were a lot of twists and turns piled up on the case in front of him, not that he had been lazy for a few days, but that there were so many twists and turns every day recently, piled up.

"Hmph, the people in the outer court, it's all like this, they either attack this or that, it's all some chasing after the wind and shadows, it's still Yang Ai......qing who can really do things."

"Your Majesty, Grandpa Gao is here." Wang Chengen reminded in a low voice, Chongzhen looked up, and Gao Qiqian really knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"How's it going?" Chongzhen asked.

Gao Qiqian kowtowed and replied: "Your Majesty, Kang Yingyuan has already formed on the spot, and Jinyiwei always said to the outside world that he committed suicide in fear of sin. ”

Chongzhen sat for too long, stood up, walked around the platform, and said while moving his muscles and bones: "Well, very good, a martial artist is a martial artist, and it is too reckless to do things, and I want to help him clean up the mess." ”

"The emperor loves him, otherwise Lord Qin will definitely not be able to fight the pen in the outer court!" Raise the dive tunnel.

"Those people in the outer court, I can't fight, not to mention Qin Aiqing's martial arts, it's okay for him to fight, let him intrigue with these scholars, he is definitely not an opponent, you see that he attacked the main battle faction in the court this time, the means are so clumsy, it is normal for Zhang Zhifa and them to fight back."

"Fortunately, the emperor protects Lord Qin thoroughly, otherwise Lord Qin may be framed by the outer court this time." Wang Chengen said.

Chongzhen nodded, he felt that this Qin Yiming might have single-handedly orchestrated this sensational incident by using Chen Yunze and the Guanwai transaction to attack the main battle faction in the court, but now his heart has fallen to negotiate peace, so he protects Qin Yiming, Chongzhen is afraid that he has some loopholes, and asked: "Kang Yingyuan's confession, no one should have seen it!"

Gao Qiqian hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, someone went into the Jinyiwei prison the night before yesterday......
