Now that he had obtained the token from the Son of Heaven, Yang Zhen had no worries, and rushed to Wuqingbo's mansion the next day, wanting to investigate the inside of the case more deeply. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He didn't want the case to drag on like this again, he still had a lot of other business to deal with.

According to the arrangement of the rich and noble west of Beijing, the Wuqing Bofu, as a powerful person of the imperial court, is naturally in the east of the city, and there are many other mansions such as princes around. Compared with these nobles who have a deeper background and have been passed down for several generations or even longer, the Wuqing Uncle's Mansion, which was named an earl only by virtue of Empress Dowager Li's enlightenment, is not so conspicuous.

Especially the appearance of this Earl's mansion, whether it is the area of land or the façade decoration of the past from the outside, the Earl's Mansion looks very shabby, that is, the pillars tied to the horse in front of the door are a few less than those of other mansions, and the materials are only the most ordinary stone rather than white marble.

Looking at these, Yang Zhen became more and more sure in his heart, this emperor's grandfather is obviously a low-key and introverted person, no matter what, he will not have the courage and bt mind to do such a crazy thing.

With this in mind, Yang Zhen and his three subordinates knocked on the knocker of Wuqing Bo's mansion. After a while, a middle-aged man who looked quite festive opened the door and said politely: "I don't know what Your Excellency is......" Before he finished speaking, he recognized the brocade guard uniforms worn by Yang Zhen and others, and immediately looked nervous, and at the same time changed his words: "Why did several officials come to my Earl's Palace?" Although he asked like this, he quickly opened the side door and invited a few people from the brocade guards in.

Yang Zhen didn't sell it, and walked in the door, and said, "We have a case that needs to be found by Wu Qingbo for clues, and we ask the housekeeper to go in and report it." ”

"Huh? Okay, a few officials also ask for tea in the hall first, and the small ones will go to report to the uncle. Although the men didn't know what case Yang Zhen and the others came to ask, out of fear of Jinyiwei, he still politely took them to a hall in the front yard and settled them, and then hurriedly went to the back.

After a while, a man in his fifties, dressed in brocade, who seemed to be somewhat shrewd, and at the same time had a little timidity in his eyes, rushed over, accompanied by several servants. Although Yang Zhen had never met Wu Qingbo and Li Wei, he guessed his body just by looking at him and his posture, and quickly led a few subordinates to stand up and salute each other: "Xiaguan Jinyi Wei Zhen has seen Wu Qingbo. ”

Wu Qingbo hurriedly returned the salute, and then asked Yang Zhen and the others to sit down again, and then said: "It turned out that Yang Zhenfu was here, Ben Bo had heard a lot of Yang Zhenfu's deeds before, and he admired you very much, and he always wanted to see you as a real person, but I didn't want you to come to the door in person today." Sure enough, meeting is better than being famous. ”

In the face of Wu Qingbo's praise, Yang Zhen just smiled and said a few words of modesty, and at the same time praised the other party a few words, saying how magnificent the Earl's Mansion is, how the subordinates of the Earl's Mansion understand the rules, and so on. After exchanging a few words of greeting each other, Wu Qingbo asked a little strangely: "I don't know what case Yang Zhenfu came here for today?" As long as Benber can help, he will definitely not refuse. ”

Looking at his appearance of not having the slightest weakness at all, Yang Zhen became more and more sure that he had nothing to do with this case, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be so calm and normal under the weakness of a thief's heart. However, he was also in a hurry to explain his intentions, but first took out the jade pendant that the emperor gave him from his arms and handed it over: "Uncle, please take a look at this pendant first." ”

"Huh?" Although Wu Qingbo was still less than sixty, his eyes were already a little dizzy, and he only saw a dragon-shaped jade pendant handed over from a distance, and he muttered in his heart, who dared to use this illegal thing, could it be that Yang Zhen wanted to ask himself about the violation of the system? But after taking the jade pendant and looking at it carefully, his face suddenly became very solemn, and he quickly turned his face away: "This is something that His Majesty is wearing, how did it get to Yang Zhenfu's hands?" ”

Seeing that the other party really recognized this pendant, Yang Zhen was even more relieved: "This pendant was indeed handed over by His Majesty to the lower officials, so that I could use it to win the trust of my uncle." As for the reason, it has something to do with a case. As he spoke, his eyes swept over the people of the Earl's Court who were waiting around him.

Li Wei immediately understood his intentions, waved his hand and said, "You all retreat." ”

After everyone withdrew from the hall, Yang Zhen said with a solemn face: "Before I tell you about this case, I want to say a word to you, uncle, don't be angry because of my words." ”

"It's okay, since you are ordered to handle the case, how dare Ben Bo annoy you." Wu Qingbo waved his hand and said, "Yang Zhenfu, please say it." ”

Since the other party had already expressed his position like this, Yang Zhen did not delay any longer, and said, "I wonder if Wu Qingbo has heard of a terrifying case that happened in Xiangshan last year?" The bodies of six or seven women were found after the rain. Although he was roughly convinced that this case had little to do with Wu Qingbo, Yang Zhen still used some means to deliberately tell the details of the case wrong, in order to test whether the other party knew the inside story.

But Wu Qingbo shook his head blankly: "Benbo has never paid much attention to this kind of thing, but he has never heard of it. Why, is this case serious? ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, even killing a person is enough to shock people's hearts, let alone such cruel methods." Yang Zhen said: "And what is even more bizarre is that not long after this case appeared, two officials who investigated the case were dismissed. Moreover, they were not treated like this because of their ineffective investigation of the case, but on the contrary, they were dismissed because they found some clues. ”

"And such things? It's hard to believe. Although Li Wei was so agreeable, he muttered in his heart, how did he find himself in this matter?

Yang Zhen saw his thoughts at a glance, and continued: "Uncle must feel very strange, in that case, why did Xia Guan come to see you with this case?" In fact, the answer is very simple, because not long after Xiaguan took over the case, it was found out that those poor murdered women were finally picked up by the people of Wuqing Bofu! After saying this, his eyes were firmly fixed on Li Wei.

And after listening to his earth-shattering words, Wu Qingbo's face suddenly stiffened, and a few cold sweats also appeared on his forehead, and his lips trembled for a while before he subconsciously shouted: "What? This can't be, wronged! This is obviously someone who wants to frame me......" It was only at this time that he figured out why in the previous days, when he was dealing with other officials and magnates in the capital, everyone looked at him a little wrongly, it turned out that many people regarded him as a beast who did such bestiality, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Uncle Wu Qing was about to jump up, Yang Zhen hurriedly pressed his hand: "Uncle, please don't be impatient, listen to the official finish speaking." If the lower officials had already determined that it was the uncle's doing, he would not have come to the door like this today. ”

Wu Qingbo, who was in a mood, heard this, and his expression eased a little, but he still had a look of grievance on his face: "Yang Zhen Fu Mingjian, although I, Li Wei, am not talented, but I am not a person of beasts, and I will never be able to make such a heart-wrenching move." ”

"Xia Guan knows that Xia Guan has found out that there is something else wrong with this matter, but there are no further clues for the time being, so I asked His Majesty for this jade pendant, and I dared to come to see my uncle, and I want to find out the ins and outs of the matter." Yang Zhen hurriedly explained.

Seeing him say this, Wu Qingbo's expression calmed down again, thinking about it, if he really decided that he was the murderer, how could he ask the emperor? And it is impossible for the emperor to give him the jade pendant and let him use his own words. Thinking like this, he nodded and said, "Yang Zhenfu can think like this, it is indeed Benbo's luck." You say, as long as Ben Bo can do what he can say, he will not hide it from you. ”

Seeing that he was sincere, Yang Zhen was even more happy in his heart, and said, "Then the official will be offended." This matter will be considered to be done by you, uncle, for only one reason, according to some insiders, the murdered women were taken away by Li Lu, the steward of the uncle's mansion. So uncle, if you want to know the reason, just hand over that Li Lu to the subordinate and ask, and you can know the answer. ”

thought that there would be a big breakthrough in this case, but after not wanting to hear his words, Li Wei's expression froze again: "You mean Li Lu?" It's probably impossible to get anything out of his mouth. As early as last year, he fell ill and died. ”

"What?" Yang Zhen was also shocked, if he could be sure that Li Wei was not the real murderer, he was afraid that he would think that this was the uncle in front of him who was killing people. After a long while, he narrowed his eyes: "Then dare to ask uncle, what kind of disease does he have?" What happened to his body after that? ”

"This ......" Li Wei shook his head in confusion: "This matter is handled by my nephew Wu Liqing, if you want to know, just ask him." As he spoke, he greeted him loudly: "Come on, go and call me that child from Liqing." ”

The servant outside agreed, and after a while, he saw a well-rounded, well-dressed young man walk into the hall and salute Li Weishen: "Uncle, you called me, I don't know what to order?" Although he said this to Li Wei, a pair of eyes swept towards Yang Zhen and the three of them from time to time, and there was a hint of cringe in his expression.

"Liqing, didn't you help deal with Li Lu's aftermath before, now Yang Zhenfu, who has Jinyiwei, wants to ask you something, you have to answer it well." Li Wei commanded.

And after he said this, Yang Zhen obviously found that Wu Liqing's body shook violently!
