At the same time, the appearance of the king also brought a warm hope to these people in this coldest winter, and some people whispered: "Three days, do you say that Wang Shilang can do it?" ”；“ Cut, have you ever seen something that Wang Shilang didn't do? ”；“ Wait and see. ”

Behind the king, there was a worried discussion among the people, not only the people, but even Cai Jing was a little apprehensive in his heart: "Son, you have gone to Shangshu Mansion today to ask for your resignation, in case the imperial court approves your resignation, then it will be difficult for you to do whatever you want." ”

"When I started working in Jinxiang Mansion, wasn't it also an official position of a squire." The king replied lightly, and the three of them stopped talking and went straight to Kaifeng Mansion.

There are almost few guards in Kaifeng Mansion who don't know Wang Bian, but now it is not what it used to be, Wang Bian came to Kaifeng Mansion this time not to see his father-in-law, nor to do business, but to become the owner, a strange fire party, Kaifeng Mansion The former guards hesitated, whether to let Wang Bian go in directly, Wang Bian smiled slightly: "You don't have to be embarrassed, please go to the prefect, just say that Wang Bian asks to see." ”

"Then you wait a minute." The guards hurriedly rushed to the Kaifeng Mansion, and after a while, Lou Qing followed the guards out, and greeted the king from a distance: "Prince Wang, you are here, Governor Li is waiting for you in the council hall." ”

Wang Bi followed Lou Qing into Kaifeng Mansion, and before leaving, he turned back to Cai Jing and Wa Zhuang and said, "It's so cold, don't wait for me, go home first." The two replied yes, Wang Pan and Lou Qing entered from the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, walked six or seven minutes through the first courtyard to the second courtyard to go to the meeting hall, the two of them deliberately slowed down, Wang Bi asked Lou Qing: "Brother Lou, what the new prefect said is true." ”

Lou Qing nodded: "Childe, rest assured, the people of Kaifeng Mansion attach great importance to this case, and don't look at this Li Governor's Mansion just took office, but he has long admired Childe, he turned out to be Xue Xiang's subordinate, by the way, Childe knows that 'Qingmiao Qian' is what this Li Shen did." ”

"Seedling money." Wang Mian pondered for a while, he had heard of the Qingmiao Method, but the Qingmiao Law was not an immediate matter, it was an important new method in Wang Anshi's change of law after Shenzong ascended the throne, but he couldn't have told Lou Qing about it many years later.

Lou Qing saw the king's hesitation, and added: "This Li Shen Li Governor, when he was the magistrate of Yanshan County, happened to encounter a famine year, he ordered the rich man to open a warehouse to sell grain, and those who had no money to buy grain were given to the chaff and grain, saving tens of thousands of people. ”

Wang Pan secretly raised his big finger when he heard this, no wonder the economy was so developed during the Northern Song Dynasty, after all, it was not something that Wang Pan could do alone, this Li Shen is Xue Xiang's subordinate, Xue Xiang has a set of financial management, this Li Shen is even better, after listening to this, Wang Pan couldn't help but have a little more good impression of Li Shen, with this good feeling, naturally there are a lot less doubts about the case that Li Shen said,

While speaking, the two came to the council hall, Lou Qing brought Wang Bian in, only Li Shen was there in the council hall, and there were a lot of case files on his desk, including every time the emperor summoned Wang Bian, the records of the living house, as well as all the chapters of Wang Bian, Renzong's criticism, and even the records of the impeachment of Wang Bian in the court.

It can be seen that Li Shen has put in no effort, and on the paper in front of him has written a whole page of people who may have offended the king, or people who have offended the king, some of them have been sketched next to their names with a pen, and some even indicate the whereabouts of this person.

Seeing Wang Bian coming in, Li Shen invited Wang Bian to take a seat, looked at the paper in his hand and shook his head and said: "Wang Shilang, you are young, you have ascended to the palace at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but how did you offend so many people." ”

Wang Fang originally looked serious, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said self-deprecatingly: "If it weren't for this, how could there be today's end." ”

Li Shen frowned: "But you offended people, and it seems that you didn't actually offend anyone, you see, you just played a little worse, meaner, arrogant but can't find anyone who has a deep blood feud with the house, not to mention, what you do is also for the benefit of the court, this thing is strange, by the way, don't you think it will be done by the Japanese slaves." ”

Wang listened to Li Shen's words, and thought to himself that he was young and frivolous and did cause a lot of trouble, but it is rare to be reckless for the second time in life, and it is understandable to be frivolous, but if it really caused the death of the moon, it would be a big regret in his life, he thought about it and said to Li Shen: "Governor Li, since you also said that the fire in my house was not arson, but my wife's death, can you take me to see the body of my wife." ”

Li Shen ordered him to wait, and personally went to the morgue with the king.

Just a few minutes away, Wang next to the heart felt very heavy, his heart was very entangled, finally to see the moon, he even hoped that there would be some miracle, such as the moon was not really dead, but temporarily unconscious, in short, when the king saw the moon lying there quietly, the king's heart was completely cold,

Wang Fang didn't know what method Kaifeng Mansion used, but the body under the moon was well preserved, the whole person under the moon was like falling asleep, her demeanor was very peaceful, and even Wang Fang seemed to feel that there was a slight smile on the corner of the moon's mouth,

The servant behind Wang Bian told Wang Bian the results of the autopsy, and he also said: "Mrs. Ling is not injured, there is no sign of poisoning, if there is really no other cause, it is also a good result, but how Mrs. Ling was unscathed in the fire, this is a strange thing." ”

Dead, dead, a hundred dead, the moon walked so calmly, the king couldn't help but look at it calmly, he sighed deeply, could it be that God blessed, let me see the moon intact, but even if God blessed, why take the moon away, not to mention, the moon didn't say anything to himself, including what the child looked like, what characteristics he had, the vast sea of people, how to find himself,

Wang looked at the body under the moon, stunned for a while, he experienced sadness, pain, but did not expect this moment, when he clearly realized that the moon will never wake up again, he will be a little relieved, thinking back to his past few years, for the moon is a habit, for the moon is a responsibility, a teacher's trust, he loves the moon, just like a relative, a companion, but from the acquaintance to now has been life and death, now become a death,

Wang felt someone pat him on the shoulder, and looked back at Li Shen: "Wang Shilang, it's cold here, let's go back and talk." Wang turned around and walked to the door, looked back at the moon again, and walked out of the morgue with sadness, and when he heard the door close behind him, he chuckled in his heart.

Returning to the council hall again, Li saw that Wang was in a much calmer mood, and then he spoke: "I have heard that Wang Shilang is well-informed, and Kaifeng Mansion has tried his best to solve this case, but it has become an unsolved case after all, so far there are still no clues, and I feel guilty in my heart." ”

"Governor Li doesn't have to be like this, my wife walked so peacefully, and it can be regarded as a good death, as for why the fire was unscathed, there must be a reason, since there is no clue now, it is better to start by looking for Xiao'er, maybe you can solve it."

Li Shen looked at Wang Bian, Wang Bian's expression was sad but very organized, it was really hard to imagine that Wang Bian was in his early twenties, he had such a calm and rational age, if time passed, this person must be very good; Li Shen looked at the case files on the desk, and there was already a context in his heart, if Wang Bian offended everyone, it was better to threaten a person, since he saw Wang Bian yesterday, Li Shen already understood in his heart, no wonder the emperor wanted to send this person to envoy repeatedly, but he just checked from the fire, and it has been confirmed that it was not intentional.

Li Shen said: "What Wang Shilang said is very true, maybe if you find the person who took the child away, you can solve the cause of Mrs. Ling's death, after the fire in the house, I have sent someone to monitor the people entering and leaving your house, etc., and secretly check the households with babies in the capital, none of them have the whereabouts of Ling Lang, in addition, according to the concubine of the house, there is a birthmark on Ling Lang's little arm, which is shaped like a drop of water, and it is easy to do with this birthmark, Wang Shilang can post a reward, or some gains. ”

Wang saw that what Li Shen said was reasonable, and Kaifeng Mansion was indeed trying his best to investigate, so he thanked Li Shen first and said goodbye to Li Shen: "I will prepare immediately when I return to the house, and I will worry about the prefect of Lao Li." ”

Li Shen said politely: "Wang Shilang doesn't have to see outside, Li also worked with Xue Shizheng (Xue Xiang) back then, and I often heard him mention you, and when he finishes dealing with things in the house, let's talk about it again."

"Just what I want." Wang said goodbye to Li Shen again and left Kaifeng Mansion,

At this time, it was past noon, and the king walked towards the mansion, thinking to himself secretly while walking, he really didn't have a clue, if it wasn't for what Li Shen said today, he didn't know that the child still had a birthmark, fortunately Rou'er remembered, go back and thank Rou'er for asking more carefully, put down this and remember that there are two things to do today, one is to promise the people, solve the coal problem within three days; The second is to promise Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang to visit the house at night, I don't know what Zeng Xiang is looking for himself, or if he is in urgent need of coal, he can ask Zeng Xiang for help.

Thinking of this, the king took a deep breath, and the cold air was inhaled into his lungs, which made him sober up a lot, and it seemed that he was relieved after seeing the body under the moon, and he would be buried under the moon as soon as possible.

Wang next to the moon, then remembered that the two of them met, looked up and saw that they walked outside the gate of Jinxiu Road, everything was providential, this place was called Renhe Lou, the woman under the moon disguised as a man to capture Liang Yi buried, only to meet Wang Be, Liang Yi buried, could it be him, but Wang Bi got the news privately, although there was a small friction in Xixia, but because Yingzong promised to trade for the time being, it was also calm, and Liang Yibury seemed to be quite concentrated on taking care of Xixia affairs, anyway, he was a suspect, Li Liangzuo is my brother, if it is really what he called, must kill this dog thief,

Wang next to the thought of this, took a step into the splendid building, the store was a little deserted, only a few tables scattered, the shopkeeper Cui Fu greeted the guests with all his heart, and it could be seen that the old man was struggling to support, okay, since I am back, let's start everything from scratch,
