"Master Meng, please come here!"

"It's hard work!"

"Our master is changing clothes, and it will be there in a while, you wait!" Coming to the living room, the old man said politely.

"It's okay, we're guests, and it's as good as we should be later!" Meng Yan gestured.

About a minute later, Li Xiong, who was neat and neat, walked in from outside, his steps were a little frivolous, but he walked very steadily, and he worked hard to maintain his image as a normal person.

"Xiaguan Meng Yan has seen Master Li!"

"Lord Meng is polite, I didn't come yesterday, why did I come here again today, I don't have anything to entertain Lord Meng here." Li Xiong walked to the main seat of the living room and sat down.

"Xia Guan naturally has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!"

"Oh, really?" Li Xiong agreed, "Lord Meng, please take a seat, Ah Hui, and give the remaining tea foam to Lord Meng." ”

This is clearly not very welcoming.

"Lord Li is polite." Meng Yan bowed slightly, "I came down today to report something to Master Li." ”

"I'm a person who is about to resign and return to my hometown, what else can I report?" Li Xiong said undeniably.

"The Holy Decree is to set up a yamen to inspect the capital, and the lower officials will serve as the chief inspector!" Meng Yan Road.

"Inspector Yamen, what is this for?" Li Xiong showed a look of surprise.

"Rectify unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and investigate illegal things!" Meng Yan Road.

"That's a lot of authority?"

"Although the authority is large, this is only temporary, and we will only investigate the cases assigned by the Holy Lord. When the case is over, we are disbanded. Meng Yan explained.

"It turned out to be just a temporary institution." Li Xiong nodded, it's no wonder, if it wants to become a permanent institution, wouldn't it be a yamen that is even more awesome than Jinyiwei and Dongchang?

"Lord Li, the first case assigned by the saint is Bai Suxin's case, and the relationship between Bai Suxin and Lord Li's family, there is no need for the lower officials to say more, and the lower officials still need Lord Li's cooperation in handling the case next!" Meng Yan Road.

"What. Master Meng wants to review Bai Suxin's case? Li Xiong was taken aback. got up too violently, which affected the wound on his left chest, and his mouth couldn't help grinning in pain.

"Yes!"

"Is this the meaning of Lord Meng, or is it the will of the Holy Lord?" Li Xiong asked.

"The Holy One has not decreed it. But this was the first case in which the Yamen was established by the inspectors. Xiaguan wants to do it well. The iron case was completed, so the lower officials took over the inspection and the yamen did not even choose the location of the yamen's office. I'm here to pay a visit to Master Li! Meng Yan said.

"Lord Meng has found the wrong person, I have already resigned, and I will return to my hometown in a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to help Lord Meng!" Li Xiong said.

"What if the lower official says that Master Li can't resign?"

"Master Meng, what do you mean, threatening Li?" Li Xiong had a look of anger on his face.

"No, Xia Guan has no intention of threatening Lord Li, but Xia Guan has to remind Lord Li that Lord Li's official reputation and reputation are good, and it is better to go to places like Cuiyun Tower." Meng Yan smiled slightly.

When Li Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but turn slightly pale.

The atmosphere was a little heavy.

Meng Yan came to the door again today, the purpose was to let Li Xiong write a letter to avenge Bai Suxin's grievances, since he laid out the facts and reasoned that he didn't listen, then there was only coercion and temptation.

He didn't care what Li Xiong thought of him, as long as he achieved the goal he wanted at this stage.

Silence and embarrassment......

"Can you say a few words?" Cai Jin opened his mouth to break this situation, and the atmosphere couldn't help but be relieved.

"This is Mr. Cai, the master hired by the lower officials." Meng Yan introduced.

Li Xiong nodded at Cai Jin.

"Master Li, there are two paths in front of you, one is to cooperate with my father-in-law to find out the real cause of Ling Lang's death, and comfort Mrs. in the spirit of the sky, but your wishes, and the second is to be taken away by Dongchang, and then the old man will not say anything, you choose for yourself?" Cai Jin's words were more direct and lethal than Meng Yan's.

"Hahaha......" Li Xiong suddenly laughed, "Lord Meng, you just want to overturn the case for Bai Suxin, a woman who doesn't abide by women's morals, why do you have to do so many things?" ”

"Master Li, in your heart, is Bai Suxin really so unbearable?" Meng Yan was not surprised, many people thought that Bai Suxin deserved his crimes, even if Bai Suxin was not a murderer, then Li Chengyan died because of him.

is the so-called red face and trouble, just because Bai Suxin has a face that makes men salivate, she has to bear such infamy, which is really unfair to her.

"What kind of woman is she, don't you know better than me?" Li Xiong sneered.

"I, Master Li, I think you have misunderstood, I have nothing to do with Bai Suxin." Meng Yan argued.

"It doesn't matter, you know it in your heart."

"Lord Li, my father-in-law is the son-in-law of Lord Guo Nu Guo, and he is still the matchmaker of the Holy Protector, can he do this for a female prisoner who has been imprisoned in the Criminal Department?"

"You are Guo Laohu's son-in-law?"

"What, doesn't Master Li know?" Looking at Li Xiong's expression, he didn't seem to know about it.

Also, Li Xiong is taking care of his wife's funeral these days, and it is understandable that he doesn't know some things.

"Lord Li, do you want to go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to verify it in person?"

"No, no need, Master Meng, it was Li Mou's gaffe just now, please forgive me, Li misunderstood!" Li Xiong smiled bitterly, he might really have made a mistake this time.

"Xiaguan has nothing to do with Miss Bai Suxin, if you want to say that it has a relationship, it's just that Xiaguan's confidante Wen Xiaoyu girl, and besides, Xiaguan did find out the possibility of Bai Suxin's grievances, so he intervened in this case, and for this reason, Xiaguan also offended the Criminal Department!" Meng Yan Road.

"Offended the Punishment Department?"

"Here's the thing......"

"Li is ashamed, I didn't expect Master Meng to suffer so much for this!" Li Xiong said extremely apologetically.

"It's a trivial matter for the lower officials to suffer a little, and it's just that the lower officials don't know about Bai Suxin's case, but the lower officials know. You can't just sit idly by, otherwise the conscience of the subordinate officials will be uneasy! Meng Yan said, "According to the investigation of the lower officials, the main reason why Bai Suxin's reputation is unpleasant is because of one person, this person, Master Li, must also know, is Jiao Hong, Bai Suxin's nominal uncle......

"Yes, Yan'er's death, at the beginning, I believed that Bai Suxin was on good terms with Yan'er. Having an affair with some man outside. It happened to be broken by Yan'er that day, so there was a fight, Yan'er was killed, and the adulterer ran away. Bai Suxin became the murderer of adultery and murder. But. Later, I learned some news that Bai Suxin was taken away by Dongchang. Tortured, even if she refused to confess who the adulterer was, I thought, since this adulterer abandoned her, how could such a slutty woman as she defend this man so much, so I suspected Jiao Hong, who reported the case......"

"In the past six months, I rarely go to the Yamen, almost all of my time is spent investigating this Jiao Hong, I am afraid of being discovered by him, I personally disguise and follow, I know what he does every day, and I have also figured out the laws of his life and some unknown secrets......"

After Meng Yan and the three of them heard this, they sighed.

"Later, my wife was sick, as a last resort, I could only temporarily give up the investigation of Jiao Hong and come back to take care of my wife, so Mrs. still left me, I know that she is missing Yan'er, worrying about illness, after Mrs. passed away, I dismissed all the servants in the family, I want to avenge Yan'er and Mrs.!" Speaking of this, Li Xiongqing was excited, and the green tendons on his neck and forehead were exposed.

"What did Master Li find?" Meng Yan asked.

"I found out that although Jiao Hong is an unemployed vagrant, he is not short of money to spend, and there are seven or eight subordinates, at the beginning I thought it was his sister who provided for his expenses, but later found out that this is not the case, he is actually secretly working for the East Factory, and he is a secret agent of the East Factory......"

Li Xiong said while observing Meng Yan's expression, and found that when he mentioned the words "Dongchang secret agent", Meng Yan and the others did not show a surprised expression.

This also made Li Xiong can't help but have a trace of confidence in Meng Yan's investigation of Bai Suxin's case, at least this young man didn't rush in headlong and completely listened to what Bai Suxin said.

In Li Xiong's heart, there is still a problem with Bai Suxin's past reputation, but now, in his heart, the judgment of Bai Suxin to kill Li Chengyan, or help kill Li Chengyan, is becoming more and more shaken.

As a high-ranking military attache of the imperial court, it is not difficult for Li Xiong to find out Jiao Hong's true identity, not to mention that Jiao Hong's status in the East Factory is not high.

What Meng Yan wanted to know most was how Li Xiong was sure that Jiao Hong was the murderer who killed Li Chengyan.

"Master Meng, if it weren't for your involvement in this case, Li really didn't want to say this." Li Xiong sighed, "After I found out that Jiao Hong was a secret agent of Dongchang, I followed him several times, but this guy was very vigilant and his kung fu was not weak, he was discovered several times, and he was almost calculated by him and died in his hands again!" ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"He doesn't know my identity, Jiao Hong usually offends a lot of people, he hasn't seen me before, and I make up as a different person every time I follow, so I've been more careful since then." Li Xiong said.

"Then how did Master Li suspect Shang Jiaohong?" Meng Yan asked.

"That's almost two months after Yan'er's death, when I was sorting out Yan'er's relics, I found that he had some letters with Bai Suxin, I wanted to get Yan'er to burn in front of the spirit, but the ghost sent to open one of the letters, it was written by Bai Suxin to Yan'er, I won't say the specific content, the above mentioned Jiao Hong's harassment of her, I hope Yan'er will marry her sooner, after that, I opened several in a row, there are similar complaints, and Jiao's sister and brother forced her to hand over Su Xinzhai's inheritance and the secret recipe for making zuò pastries... …”

"I see, Jiao's sister and brother wolf bèi are traitors, and there is really an ulterior motive behind it!" Meng Yan scolded.

"From that time on, I was suspicious of Jiao Hong, so I secretly investigated and found out that he was a secret agent of Dongchang, so I secretly followed him, hoping to find some clues."

"Did Master Li find a clue?"

"There are some, but they can only corroborate, but they can't directly prove that he killed Yan'er!" Li Xiong said with a hateful gaze.

"Can you sue the official?"

"This is naturally okay, but when you get out of this door, Li will not admit it!" Li Xiong is the first to say.

"Don't worry, Lord Li, we will keep our mouths shut." Meng Yan assured.

"Yan'er has two fatal wounds on his body, one on the chest and one on the neck, Li once saw the autopsy of the autopsy, only to see the chest injury mentioned above, but the neck was not mentioned, I asked Cao Qianhu who handled the case in Dongchang for this, his explanation was that the chest was a fatal injury, and the neck wound was cut in the fight, not a fatal injury, Yan'er had many wounds on his body, and it was impossible for every wound to be recorded, so when he was in the autopsy, only fatal injuries were recorded, and non-fatal injuries were ignored!"

"Ignoring non-fatal injuries, this doesn't seem to be in line with the rules of an autopsy, right?" Cai Jinfa asked.

"I didn't know these things at the time, but later I realized that they were deliberately deceiving me for not understanding this!" Li Xiong said hatefully, "But by the time I understand, it's too late, Yan'er's body has already decomposed, hey!" ”

"Lord Li, it seems that Ling Lang's death is indeed strange, otherwise they wouldn't have done anything with the autopsy list!" Meng Yan said, "However, what Xia Guan doesn't understand is, how did you determine that Jiao Hong was the murderer?" ”

"Jiao Hong's martial arts are not weak, but Yan'er is also trained by me freely, even if he has not experienced actual combat, it is not easy for ordinary people to kill Yan'er, and Bai Suxin has no ability to kill Yan'er at all, she can't do it as a weak woman!"

"Did Master Li check the wound on Ling Lang's chest?"

"I just looked at it, but I didn't check it carefully, and after Dongchang took Yan'er's body away, after almost a month, I returned the body after sentencing Bai Suxin to Ling Chi, the body was already rotting and smelling, so we didn't check it again!" Li Xiong said.

"Has Ling Lang's body been buried?"

"Stopped in the nunnery in the backyard of the house, my wife originally planned to send Yan'er back to her hometown for burial, but after Yan'er passed away, my wife's health has been poor and she has not been able to make the trip." Li Xiong said.

"Can you show us there?" Meng Yan planned to strike while the iron was hot, and wanted to take a look at Cheng Dù, Li Chengyan's body was rotting.

"Yes, Master Meng, come with me!"

In the backyard nunnery, there are two large and one small coffins, the coffins are all fine nanmu, the small one is Li Xiong's wife Huang's, the big one is Li Chengyan's, and the one that is open should be prepared by Li Xiong for himself!

"Lord Li, does the junior official have a reluctant request?"

"Lord Meng, please speak!" Li Xiong's face changed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Xia Guan wants to open Ling Lang's coffin and take a look." Meng Yan said, "Xia Guan has no disrespect for Ling Lang, and he has no intention of disturbing his rest, but Xia Guan thinks that Ling Lang is also thinking that Ling Lang can bring his killer to justice and give him justice, right?" ”

"Lord Meng, you want to open the coffin for an autopsy, Li will not stop you, but there is one condition!" Li Xiong thought for a moment and said.

"Lord Li, please speak!"

"Take the holy decree of the saint, as long as the holy decree is made, you can open the coffin, and Li will never stop it!" Li Xiong said seriously. (To be continued......)
