In the main hall, there was a corpse lying down, and the death was terrifying, as if someone had broken his neck and died, his eyes were very big, and his hatred was very deep.

Although he was not very familiar, Ji Ning could still judge that this was the Heavenly Master who had an intersection with him during the day, and in addition to the Heavenly Master, there were also several big men he had seen during the day, and the death was also very miserable.

A servant was coming forward to check the cause of the deceased's death, while the prefect Li Jing was standing next to him drinking tea, and Li Jing did not seem to have recovered from the panic of seeing the corpse.

"Governor Li, I just made a murder case in the Gongyuan a few days ago, and now another one has died, if you die like this again, when will it be a head?" Someone next to him was asking Li Jing.

Li Jing said: "It's a big deal to kill a few reckless people, investigate and see if there are any grievances in the rivers and lakes, find some people back, inquire in detail, and report the results of the investigation." Who's this? ”

Li Jing looked at Ji Ning who walked in curiously, and the subordinate official stepped forward and said, "Governor Li, this is the new branch Xie Yuan Ji Xie Yuan, you sent him over for questioning!" ”

Ji Ning looked at Li Jing, this Li Governor is a very ordinary middle-aged man, slightly blessed, after all, Li Xiuer once helped him write a letter to "Su Pujia", he still has a good impression of the Li family, he naturally would not know that the Li Governor in front of him is the father of "Su Pujia" who is haunted by his dreams.

"Student Ji Ning, I've seen Governor Li." Ji Ning saluted.

"It turned out to be a new branch of Xie Yuan, a long admiration, the day before yesterday I also read your masterpiece, the writing is really good, the old man has read a lot of articles over the years, and I have seen a lot of talents, people who can be compared with you are really rare!" Li Jing was very enthusiastic about Ji Ning when he came up, and this enthusiasm made Ji Ning a little confused.

Ji Ning said: "It is an honor for students to let Governor Li review their clumsy works!" ”

After a few polite words on both sides, Li Jing sat down again, while Ji Ning continued to stand. Li Jing said: "Ji Jieyuan, did this official hear that you had some contact with the deceased during the day, and there seems to be a small contradiction?" ”

"Yes!"

Ji Ning told Li Jing what happened during the day, and Li Jing said: "That's right, the reckless people in the rivers and lakes were still aggressive before, how can they still be arrogant when they hear Ji Jieyuan's identity?" It is natural to repay debts, and it is reasonable for Ji Jieyuan to come to the door to ask for bets, but Ji Jieyuan will be a person in the future, and you should still avoid gambling, which will always have a bad impact on your reputation! ”

"Governor Li reminds that the students remember!" Ji Ning said.

"Okay, let's do it, although Ji Jieyuan and the deceased have a certain holiday, it is obvious that the festival has been solved, and Ji Jieyuan has no motive to kill the killer, this case has nothing to do with Ji Jieyuan, come here, send Ji Jieyuan home!" Li Jing said.

Ji Ning was slightly stunned, this case is so simple to choose clearly?

Ji Ning himself didn't think about why it went so well, it was as if he had come to go through the motions, and he didn't even have to go through this cutscene, Li Jing didn't seem to doubt him.

The subordinate officer of the prefect's yamen came out and said, "Ji Jieyuan, please." ”

Looking back at the corpse, Ji Ning still wanted to say a few words, but some things didn't know where to start, he was never qualified to make any comments on this murder case, he still had a certain relationship with the deceased, and at this time he also knew how to protect himself, and what he shouldn't say was hidden in his heart.

"Governor Li, farewell!" Ji Ning came out of the main hall, the weather outside was a little cold, he tightened his clothes, and took He An in the direction of returning home.

……

……

In another mansion in the city, Zhu Chuhe was inspecting the more than 20,000 taels of silver he had obtained from the Heavenly Master.

“…… A person in the market actually has so much silver on hand, but it is the best to buy and sell each book, and sending this silver back to the capital must be very helpful to the prince's plan. Zhu Chuhe sneered.

"What the envoy said is that all this silver has been prepared, will it be sent to the capital in full?" The subordinate asked respectfully.

Zhu Chuhe glanced at the man and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Uh...... Isn't that what you mean by asking the envoys? "Do you want to transfer some of the money to a secret bank in the capital, and then allocate it when the envoys need it?" ”

Zhu Chuhe smiled: "Very good, you are quite good at doing things, but there are some things that you don't need to plan for me, how can I ignore the prince's great cause for a little selfishness?" ”

"Yes, yes, envoy, you are loyal to the prince, and you are inferior to us!" The men spoke flattering words.

Just as the subordinate finished speaking, and was about to continue to flatter, suddenly Zhu Chuhe slapped him, and the man wanted to react, but Zhu Chuhe's martial arts were too high, and his palm directly pinched the person's throat.

"Envoy...... Gollum ......, "This person wanted to say something, but Zhu Chuhe pinched his throat and didn't give him a chance to speak."

Zhu Chuhe looked sad and said, "I will definitely be able to use people who can talk and do things, but some people have a lot of things, and I don't dare to use them." It's like you, you are very familiar with the prince's affairs, and now everyone thinks that this case was committed by the five princes, but you know that the prince sent me to do it, how can I keep you? ”

"Uh-huh......" The man struggled a few times, and in great unwillingness and uneasiness, he finally lost his breath, and the person did not react for a long time, and only after Zhu Chuhe was sure that the person was dead, did he let go, and let the person's body fall to the ground.

"Clean up!"

Zhu Chuhe clapped his hands, walked out of the two black-clothed men from the side, lifted the corpses of his subordinates, and sent them out of the main hall.

Zhu Chuhe tidied up his clothes and went to the backyard from the main hall, and before he could enter the backyard, he saw a maid with a lantern and led a graceful woman out. When the woman saw Zhu Chuhe, she saluted respectfully, and Zhu Chuhe's previous indifferent look became a little enthusiastic, this woman had already become his own forbidden body in his opinion.

"Qi Niang, is this the two envoys who have served the two envoys?" Zhu Chuhe wanted to reach over and squeeze Qi Niang's hand, but Qi Niang took a step back to avoid it.

The sneer on Zhu Chuhe's face was even worse, he was about to have a seizure, Qi Niang said: "Envoy, you must be tired after a busy day, why don't you let the slave family accompany you in to bathe and change clothes, so that you can have a good rest?" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Chuhe's face has improved a little at this time, and his smile is a little tasteful.

"Qi Niang is really an empathetic woman, I'm just tired below, Qi Niang, please do this?" Zhu Chuhe stretched out his hand to help him, but this time Qi Niang still didn't let Zhu Chuhe succeed.

Zhu Chuhe is no longer anxious, and he is also afraid of being seen pulling and pulling with Qi Niang in public. He thought to himself, "When you get to the room, aren't you honest and obedient?" What am I anxious about? Once you're inside, you're done. ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Chuhe followed behind the maid and Qi Niang and went to the wing.
