Fu Shi slept until the afternoon, and when he got up, he found that his aunt was here.

It's just that this time is different from the previous ones - as soon as I got up and washed, I retracted back into bed in pain.

Yan Niang boiled a bowl of thick ginger syrup and brought it up, and couldn't stop worrying: "Why is it so powerful?" ”

Fu Shiyi pressed his stomach, sweating profusely: "I don't know." Maybe it's cold and eats too much. It used to hurt sometimes. It doesn't matter, just get through it. ”

Yan Niang fed her sugar water: "I'll go and say at the other end of the yamen, take leave." ”

Fu Shi estimated that he couldn't touch himself anymore, so he nodded honestly.

It's just that it's hard to say in the end for this reason to ask for leave, just say that it's sick.

As soon as Yan Niang came back from the yamen, she saw Li Changbo's carriage slowly parked at the door of her house.

She hurriedly stepped forward: "Today, the little lady is sick, and she is already on leave." Li County will show you-"

"Sick?" Li Changbo frowned for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you so sick?" ”

Yan Niang said vaguely: "It's just sick." But it's not too serious, and you can rest for two days. ”

Li Changbo pondered for a moment, didn't ask any more questions, and only took Fang Liang to the yamen by himself.

It's just that when he arrived at the yamen, he instructed Fang Liang again: "I'll prescribe a prescription, you go and grab the medicine and send it to the little lady." ”

Fang Liang wondered: "You don't know what illness the little lady Fu had——"

Li Changbo looked determined: "Go." ”

Fang Liang could only obey the order. I just couldn't stop muttering in my heart: When did our Lang Jun change his career to become a doctor? Where did you learn the God Operator?

When Li Changbo arrived at the Yamen, the first thing he did was to ask about the portrait and the search for people.

Not to mention, I really asked.

It was recognized by a student in the academy.

Li Haidao: "They are fellow villagers, and they are all from Xiazhou. And they are all local noble families, and their families are rich. He came to study and take a scientific examination for two years now. Half a year ago, he received a letter from a friend, saying that his fellow villagers also wanted to come to Chang'an. See you then. When you count the time, it's pretty much the same. ”

"I sent someone out along the official road, and there should be a reply."

Li Changbo raised his eyebrows, "What about that student?" ”

"The surname is Xu Mingzhou. Now it is also in the Yamen. Li Hai's words were concise and to the point.

Li Changbo gave him a look of approval, and then went to see Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou was not yet crowned, thin and elegant, his eyes were red at this time, and he was obviously very sad.

Seeing Li Changbo, Xu Zhou hurriedly stood up and saluted.

After Li Changbo returned the salute, he invited him to sit down and asked about the deceased: "What is his name?" What's going on at home? ”

"His name is Qin Kuang, and we are all from Xiazhou. His family is a noble family, both an official and a businessman, and is very wealthy. He has only two sons, he is an old man, and his family loves him very much. Since I was a child, I invited the best master to study and practice martial arts. It's just that he was reluctant to study alone in Chang'an, so he couldn't come to Chang'an with him. He repeatedly mentioned Chang'an in his letters, and he was very envious. I think he came here secretly without telling his family. Xu Zhou sighed when he said this.

"He takes care of his family and has a rebellious heart. I also advised him in the past. ”

"I didn't think ......"

Xu Zhou pressed the corner of his eyes with his sleeve again, and smiled apologetically: "Li County Lingjian smiled."

Li Changbo bowed slightly, and asked casually: "How many days have you been in the academy?" Haven't been out of town? ”

Xu Zhou shook his head: "No." ”

"Do you have his letter?" Li Changbo asked again.

Xu Zhou nodded: "It's all still there." The bad handsome has been called to get it. My scholar went with him. ”

"Where is the address of Qin's home? I'm afraid I'll have to bother you to write it down. So that we can send a letter to let us know. Li Changbo stared at Xu Zhou, polite.

Xu Zhou didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and he didn't seem to be aware of Li Changbo's interrogation, so he just nodded.

"Since he is a prominent family in the family, why doesn't Qin Guo have an entourage of scholars around him?" Li Changbo took advantage of Xu Zhou's address to write the address, so he asked.

Xu Zhou put down his pen after writing, and then shook his head: "I don't know either." After all, we haven't seen each other for two years, and I don't know everything about his current situation. ”

After saying this, Xu Zhou looked at Li Changbo deeply: "Li County Order, this matter still has to trouble you to find out the truth, so that Qin Qian's grievances can be revealed." No one in his family is there, so if there is anything, you will tell me. Anyway, I am a fellow villager and a friend, and I am no different from his family. ”

Li Changbo stared at Xu Zhou for a long time, and then smiled slightly: "Xu Langjun is kind-hearted. ”

Xu Zhou's eyes were red: "Originally, I said that I would take him to chant poetry and drink wine when he came, but now it has become empty talk - I just hope that he can look at it." ”

The letter written by Qin Kuang was quickly retrieved.

Li Changbo looked at it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it.

And after reading the letter, he also found that Qin Guo was indeed a simple-minded person and a little rebellious against his family.

Maybe it's an old man, and it's inevitable that he cares a lot. So much so that there are too many constraints. Therefore, many things in Qin Guo could not conform to his wishes.

In the last letter, Qin Guo also said that his family forced him to marry, but he was unwilling. talked about the prosperity of Chang'an again, and said that he planned to come to Chang'an to have a look.

Li Changbo read the letter and looked at Xie Shuangfan.

Xie Shuangfan stroked his beard: "It's not simple? Obviously, he was dissatisfied with the arrangement at home and ran out without permission. Ignorant children always do such stupid things. It not only worries the family, but also troubles others. ”

Li Changbo glanced at Xu Zhou vaguely.

Xu Zhou looked embarrassed—but he didn't mean to refute it.

Coughing slightly, Li Changbo reversed the topic back: "So maybe he didn't bring a scholar with him." ”

Xie Shuangfan rubbed his eyebrows: "And he doesn't even have a valuable thing left on him, so it can be seen that it is very likely that his wealth is exposed, and he is interested in being rich." ”

Although Li Changbo didn't admit it, he felt that this was very possible.

There was no doubt about Xu Zhou, so Li Changbo quickly let Xu Zhou go.

After Xu Zhou left, Li Changbo looked at Xie Shuangfan: "Uncle Xie thinks that this case is for the sake of money?" But there is no reason to go from Xiazhou to Chang'an, and the road ahead is safe and sound-it is only when it reaches the boundary of Chang'an that something happens. ”

Xie Shuangfan stroked his beard and groaned: "But Xu Zhou has indeed never been out of the city, and the people around him have never been out of the city." Maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, who can say anything about the things in the world? ”

Li Changbo rubbed his eyebrows: "But no matter what, the murderer must be found." According to what Fu Xiaoniang found out, although the time of death was determined and the cause of death was also determined, it was still difficult to find out the real culprit. ”

"Have the two farmers been carefully interrogated? What's the catch? ”

Xie Shuangfan shook his head: "I didn't gain anything, I asked several times, and the rhetoric was the same." It may really be someone else who deliberately buried the body there. But why is it buried in such a conspicuous place—"
