Chapter 673: Swinging a big pen to find the pot

Unable to find out Wei Zhongxian, who was the most suspected, Li Mi could only think backwards and collect evidence to prove that Zhu Youxiao had nothing to do with arson, to put it bluntly, he wanted to find Zhu Youxiao's alibi.

It was also a shame that Shi Chongsheng was more outgoing than Xiang Mu, and halfway through he had a word with Su Xiu, the winter official of the Qin Heavenly Prison, and finally reminded Li Mi at this time, and everyone came to the Qin Heavenly Prison to find the eyewitness Su Xiu.

Zhu Changluo was also anxious, where could he take care of all these red tapes, and went straight to the point and asked about Su Xiu's whereabouts.

However, the prisoner was pale, and he was stunned for a long time before he replied to Zhu Changluo.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Su Xiu did not go to the government today to run an errand...... Earlier, I had already asked the slaves and maids in the house to take leave......"

It's no wonder that this prisoner's face is ugly, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a prisoner, and the people under his hands are lazy, but they are caught, how can their faces look good?

Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xu Guogong Li Mi came together for the sake of Su Xiu, plus the fact that the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Youxiao, was detained for setting fire to Zhengyangmen, and the people of Qin Tianjian didn't have to think too much, so they guessed that Su Xiu was going to get into trouble!

Of course, the thoughts of these people in it are all about thinking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince estimates that he wants to use Su Xiu as a substitute for the dead ghost!

Even if it weren't for Su Xiu to do this substitute ghost and provoke such a thing, I am afraid that Su Xiu's good life in the future will come to an end.

Although the Qin Tianjian is a Qingshui Yamen, it is very sensitive, and the supervisor is not allowed to change to other officials, and the descendants are not allowed to be promoted or promoted unless there is a special purpose, and if there is a vacancy, the supervisor will fill it step by step.

Although the officials of the Qin Tianjian are all official positions of sesame mung beans, they are extraordinary, to put it bluntly, they can't be promoted casually, nor can they resign casually, Lao Tzu died and his son came to take over, after all, they are relatively special technical talents, if the officials of Qin Tianjian are in exile, it is inevitable that they will leak the heavenly secrets, which is not good.

Although the Qin Tianjian is not strict enough to restrict the personal freedom of officials, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for someone, but the person is not in the yamen, how can the prison be stable, and immediately said to Zhu Changluo.

"Su Xiu is a steady person on weekdays, and he rarely rests, and he estimates that he has worked a little harder, and he knows that he should be recuperating at home, so the official will let people find him!"

When the supervisor said this, he scolded and sent others to find Su Xiu, but Zhu Changluo couldn't wait, so he said to the supervisor: "No need, you can take me to his house to find someone, and you can save a lot of legs and feet." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, and how dare the supervisor say a word, even if he leads the way in front and goes to Su Xiu's house.

Li Mi was a little worried, glanced at Matteo Ricci, and walked aside.

Matteo Ricci knew what he wanted, and even came to Li Mi's side.

Earlier, thanks to Li Mi's help, he and Xu Guangqi were able to successfully translate books such as "Geometric Originals", and then they had to translate a lot of Western classics.

"Grandpa, what do you have to command?" Matteo Ricci has lived in the Ming Dynasty for decades, and he has long been almost the same as the people of the Ming Dynasty, and he knows better how noble the prince of Li Mi is, and the Western world is most envious of the dukes and counts and other nobles, but if he can be knighted, it means that he is the overlord of one party, because he can have fiefs and autonomy, this is the real emperor of the soil!

Although Li Mi also has his own fiefdom, it is not very large, there are not many food estates, and he does not have any real power, and the prince is not like the dukes in the West, who can form his own army, in fact, it is not as good as Matteo Ricci imagined.

After all, if it were the West, the dukes would almost have their own fiefdoms.

But even so, he no longer dared to despise Li Mi, and he was respectful to Li Mi.

Li Mi didn't talk to this old red-haired person, untied his national belt, handed it to Matteo Ricci, and whispered to him.

"You take this, go to the inner factory for a walk, someone will come out to pick you up, and when you see that person, let him send someone to dig out the Qintian Prison Winter Official Zhengsu Xiu and dig it out for me!"

Matteo Ricci just blindly preached, and traveled with scholars, but after entering the Qin Heavenly Prison, more energy was devoted to literary affairs, and there was less contact with such dark things, and he was also a little trembling at this time.

"The Duke thinks Su Xiu has escaped?"

Hearing Matteo Ricci's question, Li Mi also smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid he won't run......"

Matteo Ricci was confused when he heard it, but Li Mi didn't explain anymore, and asked Matteo Ricci to hurry up and go to the inner factory, while he followed Zhu Changluo's team.

Su Xiu didn't go to the government at this time, the timing was too coincidental, I was afraid that he was not at home at all, if he ran away, it would be okay, at least there was a living mouth, and the fans of the inner factory would definitely be able to find him.

But if he doesn't run, he is afraid that he will be wiped out, and when the time comes, the clues will be interrupted and he will be in a stalemate, and it will be even more difficult to wash away his grievances for Zhu Youxiao!

The eunuch of Qin Tianjian was urged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, where did he dare to stay for half a minute, and after a short time, he led Zhu Changluo and Li Mi and others to Su Xiu's house.

Sure enough, Su Xiu was really not at home, but his wife, children, family, and slaves were all at home.

"It seems that he is in a hurry, abandoning his wife, if he doesn't feel the threat to his life, I'm afraid he won't be in such a hurry......"

Seeing this situation, Xiang Mu, Shi Chongsheng and others also made their own analysis, Zhu Changluo saw that hope slipped out of his hands, and he was also furious, and said to the guards beside him: "Mobilize the guards of the East Palace, search all over the city for me, and be sure to get Su Xiu back for me!" ”

Su Xiu is just an official from the eighth grade, where have the old and young in the family seen any big people?

At this time, seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the cold house in person, he had already knelt on the ground, and he didn't dare to get up one by one, until Zhu Changluo eased his temper and let them be even-handed, and the old man led by him thought that it should be Su Xiu's old father, so he raised his head.

When this old man saw His Royal Highness the Prince, he was not too surprised, but when he saw Li Mi, he couldn't help but exclaim: "You...... You are Li Mi Li Qingtian! ”

When everyone heard the old man's call, they also looked at Li Mi one after another, and their eyes were also full of admiration.

Li Mi's deeds do not need to be mentioned, and the Mad Dog Yushi does not know how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been cleansed, and the magical story of Li Mi floating in the city and river by dragon is not mentioned.

Li Mi helped the old man up and said to him: "Old gentleman, don't worry, Su Qiju didn't commit any crimes, but it is possible to see some important things, I will wait to come over and ask him for verification, I don't know when he will leave home?" ”

Hearing Li Mi like this, the old man also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Li Mi: "Although the dog is not talented, he acts well, plain and calm, and is not a traitor, Grandpa Li is the master of Qingtian, and he will never wronged him......"

As said earlier, Qin Tianjian's official position is hereditary, and Su Xiu's old father is also a calm and indifferent person who knows the destiny of heaven, and after calming down, he also expressed his belief in his son, Li Migu nodded and expressed his approval.

After all, the person who came was Li Mi Li Qingtian, and the old man did not hide it, and said to Li Mi: "After the dog came back the night before, he was a little distraught, because he came to say hello early and late, and the old man could see it, but he didn't say the reason. ”

Later, the old man asked in a hurry, so he asked him some words of gods and ghosts, and the old man had to turn out all the ancient books, and talked to him again......

"Gods, ghosts, and ghosts?" Hearing this, Li Mi was also puzzled, if it was Wei Zhongxian's fire, it was very likely to be a eunuch of the Salary Division, and what did it have to do with gods and ghosts?

"Yes, the old man asked again, he didn't want to say, just asked the old man to ask him for a spirit talisman magic weapon to defend himself, early this morning, I didn't see him go to the office, he left home in a hurry, and he didn't reply when he asked, just blindly walked out......"

Li Mi was also a little puzzled, Su Xiu was an eyewitness, and it seemed that he would not be wrong at this time, but what did he see that made him so flustered?

If the other party also found him, Su Xiusheng was afraid that others would come to kill people, so he should hide at home, so it was the safest, how could he run out?

Unless there is a greater force to protect them outside, like Li Mi and others, the home is the place that can give the most sense of security, but Su Xiu is not at home, but chooses to go out, is this related to what he witnessed?

Seeing that Li Mi was silent, the old man begged Li Mi again: "Grandpa, the dog is a weak character, the entire Qin Tianjian knows it, unless the incident happens suddenly, it is impossible for him to be so abrupt, I implore the grandfather to help find him back, the old man is thankful!" ”

Li Mi held the old man up, and with an idea, he asked the old man: "Ling Lang is an extremely self-controlled person, so there shouldn't be many places to go on weekdays, right?" ”

The old man hurriedly nodded at Li Mi and said, "That's true, this idiot either reads books or studies the calendar, and rarely spends his days drinking, and there are few places to spend his pastime." ”

Li Mi immediately asked the old man, "Can the old gentleman draw the general direction of Ling Lang's outing?" ”

This old man was originally an official of Qin Tianjian, and he was too familiar with the capital, so he took out a pen and paper, drew a rough map, and marked the places where his son used to go on weekdays with a red pen.

When Li Mi saw this picture, he drew a big circle with the Su family as the center of the circle, including all the places where Su Xiu went on weekdays.

"Follow this circle, see if there are temples and Taoist temples or other places in it, focus on these places to find, presumably you should be able to find Su Yi pot."

When everyone saw Li Mi's big stroke, they drew a circle, they were so confident and suspicious, but in the end, they still let people order.

Whether it is the guards of the East Palace, or the spies of the inner factory, they are all familiar with the terrain route, this circle is actually not big, but there is no Taoist temple or temple inside, only a wild shrine, dedicated to the famous general Yang Zaixing in the Song Dynasty, quite a bit of murder.

The spies have no confidence in the end, but since it is such a place, if you don't go to see it, it will not be successful, with the mentality of giving it a try, and then walked into this wild shrine, who knew that you really saw a person kneeling in front of the statue, muttering to himself, like madness!

"But Lord Dongguan is holding the pot and is Lord Su Xiu?" The guards of the East Palace shouted falsely, and the people who knelt down really turned around, and the guards took out the portraits to compare, and there were really three portraits!

This person is really Su Xiu!

Everyone also respected Li Mi like a god, thinking that this was an errand to find a needle in a haystack, but who knew that Li Mi waved his hand and drew a circle casually, and he actually found the person!

As for how Li Mi knows, I'm afraid only he knows it in his own heart......
