Sending Zou Jiaren and his son away, Yue Su returned to the second hall, at this moment, Zhu'er and Di Erbao had already left, but Jin Chan, Tong Guan, Yin Zhu, Tie Qiu, Li Haoquan, Li Zhong, and Yang Yishan were all standing inside waiting.

After Yue Su sat down on the public case, he glanced at Li Haoquan and said, "Haoquan, I worked hard for you just now." ”

"My lord, what's not so hard, isn't it just pretending to be a prisoner, and it's not really fighting." Li Haoquan said honestly.

It turned out that the prisoner covered in blood who had just been carried out by the servants was Li Haoquan. Yue Su did this, just to deter Zou Feng first, as for the blood in the hall, it was all chicken blood, and it was all a lie.

Yue Su laughed and said, "Chongyue, what did you just see?" ”

Yang Yishan was in charge of the knife and pen, and he was also in the hall just now, he bowed down and said: "Teacher, as soon as the talented Zou Gongzi came in the door, he showed a look of panic, and when the adult asked him to shout 'Little Wangye', it can be heard from the voice that he deliberately suppressed his voice, obviously selfless, and his heart was empty. It can be seen that maybe the little prince was shouted by him. ”

Yue Su nodded slightly and did not answer. Inviting Zou Feng to the hall tonight is actually a temptation, he can't arrest and punish people with a report letter. Asking Zou Feng to shout "Little Prince" is even more tentative, if Zou Feng really went out of the city with Zhu Gong, when the little prince fell off the horse, he had to be concerned and asked, and it was inevitable to call the little prince. What I just saw was whether he had a weak heart. It can be said that even if Di Erbao was really sure that the voice was shouted by Zou Feng at that time, Yue Su would not do it, because this evidence is really insufficient, and people's voices are similar, so it is difficult to convince people to be convicted on this basis. Moreover, Yue Su had already asked Zhu'er to tell Di Erbao, but if this voice was not, he had to shake his head.

One thing to explain is that in the title of the prince's son, it is also necessary to divide people. A person with status like Yue Su calls the other party the prince, but if he has a low status, he can only be honored as the little prince.

Seeing that Yue Su was no longer speechful, it was difficult for all the people under him to say anything. Everyone knows that the relationship between Yue Su and Zou Jiaren is really embarrassing for students to get the teacher's son. Even so, these men will not find fault with Yue Su's injustice, because this is a matter of etiquette, and the people in the rivers and lakes still pay attention to respecting teachers, let alone people in Shilin.

However, what they didn't know was that Yue Su and Zou Jiaren had another layer of relationship, that is, Yue Su's handle was in Zou Jiaren's hands.

Since Yue Su became an official, he has a clear conscience, and he is only guilty of one thing, that is, his fame is not right, and it is copied. Moreover, the official position of the county commander was also guaranteed by Zou Jiaren, and for Yue Su, it was a real teacher. Now it is a bit difficult for him to turn around and do something to his teacher's son.

Not only that, but there is no conclusive evidence now, so what can be done?

Yue Su thought for a long time, and finally said: "Yin Zhu and Li Zhong, the two of you go to contact Kong Jian and Cao Yu, and lead people to keep an eye on the political envoy and the palace to see what the two families will do." Now that the Li family has purchased a batch of winter clothes, a batch has arrived, according to the time, not to mention that a batch can be delivered, and the headquarters plans to wait until the batch of winter clothes arrives, so they will go to the banks of the Yellow River with Lord Zou and send them to the people. I have a hunch that when the ministry is not in Kaifeng, there will definitely be movement in the city. ”

"Subordinates obey."

"Tong Xuan, when the headquarters goes to the Yellow River, the governor's yamen will hand it over to you, and if there is anything, you must send the news as soon as possible." Yue Su instructed again.

"Yes, sir."

Early the next morning, Li Yuanchen, the son of the Li family, came to say goodbye. Li Yuanchen naturally did not come empty-handed, and brought a lot of chicken, duck, fish, meat, wine and wine, and a box of gold.

Li Yuanchen didn't open the gold, there was a lock on it, and he just handed the key to his sister, saying that it was the pocket money her father gave her.

Li Yuanchen also said that all the winter clothes purchased by the Li family would be delivered in the shortest possible time. Because Yue Su recently added the crown prince Shaobao, Li Wenzhang has a high opinion of this future son-in-law, these winter clothes, according to Li Wenzhang's original plan, will not be available until at least mid-November, but now it is more than half a month in advance.

After a few days, the winter clothes were ready, Yue Su informed the political envoy Zou Jiaren, and the general soldier Luo Zhenqiang went with him. In addition to supervising the distribution of winter clothes, he also inspected the progress of the river works and visited to see if anyone was mean to the victims.

At the same time, there was also a major event in the imperial court, that is, Empress Zhang gave birth to a dragon son. Zhu carpenter Longyan Dayue issued an amnesty to the world, and gave his son a name - Zhu Ciyan.

The emperor's amnesty to the world is a good opportunity for Zhu Gongfang to quickly surrender himself, take all the crimes on his own, and take advantage of the emperor's happiness, maybe just reprimand. After all, it was to go out and go around, accidentally hit and kill someone, and there were guards who made decisions without authorization, killing people and destroying mouths, and now they have been executed by the prince. For the royal family, it's nothing.

But people always have a fluke heart, Zhu Gongfang saw that Yue Su didn't find anything, and now he went to the banks of the Yellow River again, it is estimated that if this matter is not resolved, how can he go to ask for trouble.

Because the queen gave birth to a dragon son, Zhang Guozhang's family was extremely happy, and the momentum in Luoyang City had already surpassed that of King Fu. After all, the queen's son is the eldest son, and when he grows up Chengren, he will be the future emperor.

Some people are happy and some are sad, in a palace in the Forbidden City, there are now chickens flying and dogs jumping.

"Smack!"

In the Fengsheng Palace, Ke Yinyue slammed the teacup on the ground and scolded angrily: "What are you doing to eat!" What use do I want you to do with this shit! Someone! Beat me, beat me to death! ”

There is a palace maid kneeling in the hall, this palace maid is Luo'er, Ke Yinyue once passed on to her a fetal technique, when massaging the waist of a pregnant woman, she can chop off the fetus unconsciously. And the purpose of this technique passed on by Ke Yinyue is to chop off the fetus in Zhang Yan's womb.

"Madame, spare your life...... It's not that the slave doesn't want to do it....... but there is really no chance...... After the emperor's mother-to-be summoned two maids from her mother's house...... Those two girls are inseparable from the queen...... Even if it's to press the queen's waist...... It's also a matter for both of them...... The slave and maid can't intervene at all......" Luo'er cried loudly, begging for mercy and explanation.

Keke Yinyue's anger rushed to the top door early, how could he listen to her explanation, but kept ordering, "Call me!" Beat me to death......"

The eunuchs of the Fengsheng Palace picked up the sticks and greeted Luo Er fiercely, and they didn't care where the key points were, they just landed the sticks in their hands firmly on Luo Er's body.

Luo'er pleaded and cried out in pain, but it was useless. Finally, only to hear a miserable scream of "ah......", Luo'er was no longer silent.

A eunuch sniffed and said nervously, "Madam, the person is dead." ”

"Dead is dead, what's all the fuss about, throw into the pond in the garden." After speaking, Ke Yinyue waved her hand and said, "Drag the corpse down, you all go down for the time being." ”

"Yes."

Everyone carried Luo Er away and closed the door of the palace, and at this moment, only Ke Yinyue and Wei Zhongxian were left in the palace.

"Now that the queen has a child, what should we do, what should we do? You have an idea, don't always act like you're nothing. Ke Yinyue looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was sitting on the side, and said very unhappily.

"Madam, what's there to panic about, even if the queen has a son, she won't be on the throne tomorrow to become the emperor, and she won't have to grow up slowly. Right now, the little prince has to stay in Kunning Palace, it's really inconvenient to start, but let's say Fang Chang, after two years to leave the queen, we have a chance to start. There is no rush for this moment. Now our primary target is not him, we should take the opportunity to wipe them out when the emperor is not used to the Donglin Party. Wei Zhongxian said quite calmly.

"The emperor used to eat with me, but then a Yue Su appeared, and it became a meal with him, and he accompanied me every day during this time. But now that such a small mongrel has emerged, the emperor has to run to Kunning Palace every day. When Zhang Yan's little bitch takes advantage of the situation again, she will sue us, but what should we do? Ke Yinyue didn't have Wei Zhongxian's calmness and calmness, and said anxiously.

"Madame's status in the emperor's mind is no less than that of the queen, even if the queen gives birth to a dragon son and gains power for a while, the emperor will not offend you for her. Madame can put her heart in her stomach, otherwise, I will keep an eye on Ye Xianggao and them here, and as soon as I seize the opportunity, I will kill them all. On the lady's side, let people stare at the queen, and at the first opportunity, strangle the little prince in the cradle. If you need manpower, just ask me to do it, and I'll be there right away. Wei Zhongxian still said unhurriedly. In his eyes, in fact, the victory is already in hand. Destroy Donglin first, and then kill Yue Su, this doll in the harem, if you want to get rid of it, you will have a chance at any time.

Yesterday, he had taken advantage of the emperor's happiness to promote Wei Guangwei into the cabinet, and the emperor had already approved this matter, just waiting for it to be pushed.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian say this, Ke Yinyue could only nod and said, "Okay." Just listen to you, now that Luo'er is dead, you can find a way to install two of your own people in Kunning Palace and find out the news at any time. ”

"It's easy to do." Grandpa Wei smiled slightly.

Within the county government of Tongxu County, the county Cheng Zhao Tan temporarily acted as the magistrate of the county, when Tong Xuan was there, he was worried for a day, as the deputy of the county order, he didn't have much to do, but more or less he was a little tired.

When Tong Xuan left with the stolen family property, this guy was at ease, but he didn't dare to be arrogant, he just honestly served as his local parent in the yamen.

At noon today, when he was drinking tea in the back office, Lu Gao, the head catcher, suddenly ran in and told him something.

"My lord, this morning, someone picked up two sacks by the Tongshui River, opened them and saw that they contained two corpses.

When such a thing happened, it was natural to go and see, Zhao Tan ordered to prepare a sedan chair, and took the messenger to the bank of the Tongshui River with the person who reported the case. Now the sack had been opened, revealing two corpses, already soaked and unrecognizable, and emitting a foul smell.

In such a headless public case, even the identity of the deceased cannot be identified, where to arrest the murderer. But the procedure still has to be carried out, first a post-mortem is carried out to determine whether the deceased was put into a sack and thrown into the water after death. The cause of death was that the throat was pinched and severed, and there were no other fatal injuries on the body. It was only on one of the deceased that a characteristic was found, that is, there was a black birthmark on the left hand of the corpse.

Since there are characteristics, then continue to follow the procedures, store the corpse in Yizhuang, write down the characteristics of the corpse, roughly estimate the age, post the list to various places, and recruit people to claim the corpse.

The list is posted everywhere, and such a chapter notice is also posted at the entrance of the vegetable market of Ping'an Market, and the people passing by will take a few glances here. On this day, there was a young man with a hat who carried two liters of rice here, took a look, and was attracted by the content of the list, especially when he saw the characteristics of the corpse, his heart couldn't help but tremble. It took a while to react, quicken his pace, and leave the bazaar.

His actions were seen by a man, and the man hurriedly followed, chasing four streets and seven or eight alleys before he watched the young man enter a house. The man walked to the door and wanted to push the door, but he heard someone inside talking, "Brother Wen, something happened!" ”

"What's wrong?" Another man's voice came from inside.

"It seems that Brother Zhang and Brother Liu were killed." The youth said.

"What!" When the man heard this, he seemed very shocked, and then said, "Is the door plugged outside?" Let's go inside and talk. ”

"Plugged in."

As soon as the words fell, the man at the door could only hear the footsteps inside, and after a while, he could no longer hear the sound.

The man had the intention to break into the door, but after thinking about it, he didn't have a guy with him, and there were at least two people inside, so once there were other people, how could it be good? So, I made a small mark at the door and walked away quickly.

In the evening, the man found this place again, only this time, he was accompanied by a dozen people. The man raised his hand and knocked on the door, but as soon as he knocked on the door, the door was opened. What are you waiting for, more than a dozen men rushed in, but after turning around, they couldn't see a single figure.

"Ran!"

"What can I do?"

"What else can I do? Chase! Three cannons, you go back to Kaifeng now, notify the big housekeeper, and say that you have found an idea here. ”
