Chapter 68: Approval of Arrest

Aunt Zhu happily accepted the order and went to the backyard to find Changfan to meet. Li Zhuoran stood in the hall and thought about what Aunt Zhu had just said, and felt that there seemed to be a trace of doubt in Aunt Zhu's words: how did Shopkeeper Rong calculate that Aunt Zhu's ink purchase and Qingzhou's writing of the recital happened to be the same day, if the two were not on the same day, then wouldn't this plan be effective. Is this a coincidence, or has someone elaborated the bureau?

A thought flashed through Li Zhuoran's mind, this thought made his back feel cold, he stared at Changfan's bed outside the hall for a moment, shook his head and walked out. When he walked to the gate, Li Zhuoran looked around vigilantly, and found that the three people who had just stood separately were gone, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: probably because he was too worried, those people were just ordinary people.

The janitor helped Li Zhuoran take out the horse from the corner door next to the stable, and walked over, Li Zhuoran walked down the steps, took the reins, turned over nimbly, and got on the horse. The little servant helped Ma straighten his bridle and said to Li Zhuoran: "Li Gongzi, the few people you just mentioned have already left. Li Zhuoran asked casually: "When did you leave?" The little servant said, "As soon as you entered, they left together." ”

"Gone together?" Li Zhuoran asked. With his experience in the rivers and lakes, Zhao Qingzhou's mansion was really targeted, and those people left together at this time, what were they going to do? "It's broken," Li Zhuoran clapped his hands: "Where did they go?" Seeing Li Zhuoran's reaction, the little guy trembled and pointed westward, "Go to the west." ”

To the west, it is the Qinhuai River, and the Leye Fang and Qinhuai Fang built along the river. Li Zhuoran was a little anxious, and he didn't know whether he should hurry up and whip his horse to Rong Zhizhai first, or go to Wang Xiancheng first, and hurriedly rode around in place. The little guy hurriedly asked, "Gongzi Li, what's wrong?" ”

Li Zhuoran didn't answer, he took a deep breath to calm down, rode on his horse and looked into the house, there was no movement in the courtyard: it seems that Changfan must have led someone through the back door. He instructed the gatekeeper: "You ride a horse to Songbai Street outside the back door, go after Changfan and them, let him ride a horse and rush to Rongzhizhai, go quickly." The little guy waved his hand and said, "Li Gongzi, I don't know how to ride a horse, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." Li Zhuoran was so angry that he shook the horsewhip in the air and said, "Then you will lead the horse to chase, they will take Aunt Zhu and they will not go fast." ”

Seeing that Li Zhuoran was angry, the little servant rushed into the house before he could agree, and ran to the back door. Li Zhuoran jumped off the horse, quickly pulled the door of the Cheongju Mansion from the outside, and hurriedly got on his horse and headed east to the county office. After walking for about a few hundred meters, Li Zhuoran suddenly saw a pair of people and horses in front of him coming quickly towards this side, and hurriedly lowered his head to adjust the reins and lead the horse to the side of the road, but he heard the person shouting: "Zhuoran, Zhuoran." Li Zhuoran hurriedly raised his head and looked at it, it turned out to be Shao Shoutie, and Cheng Wang Hui of Jiangning County were heading west with a team of officers and soldiers.

"Brother Shao," Li Zhuoran grabbed the horse's belly with his feet, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked anxiously before he had time to signal to Wang Hui: "Brother Shao, what about the physical evidence I handed over to you?" Shao Shoutie rode on a tall white horse and said: "It has been handed over to Wang Xiancheng, Lord Wang has already opened the arrest paperwork, and we are about to go to Zhao Mansion to find you." "You..?" Li Zhuoran had a lot of things to ask for a while, but he didn't know where to start.

"Master Li, let's talk as we go." Wang Hui had seen Li Zhuoran in Zhao Qingzhou's mansion and was no stranger to him. Li Zhuoran hurriedly turned the horse's head and marched west with Shao and Wang. "Lord Wang, Aunt Zhu in Qingzhou Mansion bought a piece of fake ink two days ago in Rongzhizhai in Leye Fang, this ink is written on paper, and it will disappear the next day, and the Qingzhou chapter is completely handwritten because of this." Li Zhuoran was busy pleading to Wang Hui.

Wang Hui was dressed in civilian clothes, looking very lean, and his voice always sounded a little hoarse: "The official has already heard this matter from Slender Tie." "Brother Shao, how did you come up with the idea of coming to Wang Xiancheng?" Li Zhuoran couldn't help but ask. Shao Shoutie turned his head and replied: "Since you have concluded that there is a problem with the ink, I thought that it was not the people in the house who made trouble, but the person who sold the ink had a problem, and he always needed to arrest the person who was a witness, so I went to ask Lord Wang to issue a document approving the arrest first." ”

Li Zhuoran thought to himself: Just with Shao Shoutie's words and a blank piece of paper, Wang Hui immediately opened the paperwork, it can be seen that their relationship is very unusual, and they trust each other very much, Xu has the friendship of Liu Ting, thinking of this, he has more trust in Shao Shoutie, and praised: "Brother Shao is really intelligent, steady and very orderly." ”

Shao Shoutie smiled and shook his head: "Zhuo Ran praised, you are in Lord Zhao's mansion, what else have you discovered?" After Shao Shoutie, Li Zhuoran hurriedly said: "By the way, Lord Wang, Brother Shao, just outside the Qingzhou Mansion, someone was watching, and when they saw that we brought back Aunt Zhu, they went to the west, I think they went to Rongzhizhai, and they have already let Changfan and them rush over." ”

Wang Hui said: "Is there such a thing? It seems that this case within a case is not simple. I just heard Thin Iron mention it, and the official also said that someone on the market was selling fake ink blocks, but unexpectedly, someone deliberately set up a bureau for Qingzhou. Shao Shoutie suddenly said: "Brother Wang, could they have guessed that the matter was revealed and wanted to kill people?" Wang Hui said: "Who has such the courage to dare to kill people and set fires under the nose of this official?" ”

Li Zhuoran said: "Let's go over and have a look." Then the three men tightened their reins, formed themselves in a column, and flew away. When he arrived at Ruiyuan Building, Li Zhuoran saw a group of people walking briskly in front of him, among which Aunt Zhu's sturdy body was particularly conspicuous. Li Zhuoran stepped forward and grabbed the horse and said, "Aunt Zhu, why did you come here." When Aunt Zhu saw Li Zhuoran, she panted and said: "Li Gongzi, I really can't run, I can only walk faster, don't worry, Changfan has already ridden over first." ”

Shao Shoutie and Wang Hui also restrained their horses, wanting to wait for Li Zhuoran. Li Zhuoran looked forward, and could already vaguely see the cloth flags and colorful flags hanging high in the liquor store in Leye Fang. He stretched out his hand to Aunt Zhu and said, "Come on the horse with me, and the others will run forward." Seeing that she could ride a horse, Aunt Zhu hurriedly grabbed Li Zhuoran's hand and wanted to use her strength to go up, but she didn't expect to use too much force, but instead pulled Li Zhuoran off the horse, and the little guys who followed laughed.

Shao Shoutie saw that Aunt Zhu was really difficult to get on the horse, so he said, "Lord Wang, Zhuo Ran, I'll go over and have a look first." With that, he patted the horse on his back and walked forward. Li Zhuoran regretted his proposal very much, and he struggled to support Aunt Zhu to climb up, while shouting: "Lord Wang, don't wait for me, you can go first." ”
