Chapter 48: Don't be upset

Just as she was deep in thought, the elegant voice of the world sounded again: "I came to Didu this time for two things. I stumbled upon the news that the Aquila may not be dead; The other is that since the beginning of this spring and until the end of autumn, Lizhou has suffered a major drought and then a flood, and the grain has no harvest, and the people have difficulty surviving.

However, the disaster relief officials sent by the imperial court were not properly handled, and they were secretly corrupt, which led to the expansion of the disaster, and the people starved to death, died of disease, and froze to death, even though it was now the depths of winter, it still caused a plague. What is even more infuriating is that in order to avoid being held accountable, disaster relief officials actually resorted to the method of slaughtering the city, in an attempt to suppress the matter. ”

Although the world has the name of a miracle doctor, he does consider himself not a good-hearted person.

However, seeing the corpses all over the field in Lizhou, including many old and weak women and children, he inevitably felt a little unbearable in his heart, and uncharacteristically interfered in this matter.

The word "plague" made Jiang Chuge feel awe-inspiring, in the cold winter, the breeding of various bacteria and viruses was much lighter than in the spring and autumn seasons, and even many bacteria and viruses could not survive.

But in such a cold winter, there was a plague in Lizhou!

It is not difficult to imagine what kind of inhuman treatment the people there have suffered!

Shi Wushuang saw her indignant, with an expression of hatred that he couldn't swallow those corrupt officials and evil officials, sighed softly, and said: "The governor of Lizhou is Qin Yihuan, the son of King Yu, and King Yu is the emperor's third brother, the emperor's younger brothers have died due to war or illness, and now there is only one younger brother like King Yu, and King Yu is an idle prince, who has no intention of government, only good landscapes, and the relationship between the brothers is very good." and praised Wang Zhengfei as Han Ruiling, the sister of the queen of the dynasty, that is, the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty...... Qin Yihuan is afraid that he will not be able to get out of the affairs of Lizhou, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are afraid that no one is willing to go to Lizhou to investigate the case. ”

Qin Yihuan's background is too terrifying, the nephew of the emperor and the empress, the son-in-law of the prince of the dynasty, and the grandson of the prime minister of the dynasty.

Either way, it's enough to make everyone dare not touch him.

But Li Zhou is now like a purgatory on earth, where the people live in dire straits, and if no one rescues them, the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, the world has pinned its hopes on Jiang Chuge.

Jiang Chuge is not a stupid person, Shi Wushuang has said it to such an extent, she already understands the meaning of his words.

"After I deal with the case in my hand, I will ask the court to go to Yongzhou to deal with the plague, and at that time, I will secretly collect Qin Yihuan's criminal evidence and hand it over to the court for decision."

After all, all the countries in the Wind Fantasy Continent are supreme by imperial power, how can she compete with her little woman?

But even if they can't compete, once the matter of Lizhou is ascertained and the evidence is brought to the Jinluan Treasure Palace, the people of Lizhou will be able to extricate themselves from the dire situation.

Shi Wushuang understood what she meant, and shook his head: "You yourself are the criminal officer, in charge of the injustice of the world, once you propose to go to Lizhou, everything will be in plain sight." Once you take the first step, regardless of the final outcome, the entire royal family will be offended by you, including ...... Qin Ying. ”

As a great disciple, he should devote his life to it and abide by it.

Not long after Shi Wushuang left, Lu Qing rushed over with the order of Shangshu of the Criminal Department and asked Jiang Chuge to go to the Criminal Department.

Jiang Chuge left with him, but met Wu Bantou who rushed back at the gate of the Criminal Division.

Inevitably, Lin Han heard the news from Wu Bantou, and Jiang Chuge took Wu Bantou to the Criminal Department.

Lu Qing and Luo Han had their own set of torturers, and after a night of fighting, the two got important news from the mouths of the four black-clothed people who were arrested last night.

Two of the men in black were the same killers who appeared in Han Xiao's mansion the night before, and they appeared in Han Xiao's mansion to disguise a false assassination.

After interrogating all the way, the identity of King Lin was about to come out.

Even though Lu Qing and Luo Han failed to capture him yesterday when a knife escaped from King Lin's mansion at night, the harvest last night was still huge.

In addition, Wu Bantou brought back the detailed identity information about the women who were killed, but those women were indeed forced or tricked into Liu Hu's mansion in Liujiazhuang, so that they finally died tragically.

At this point in the investigation, Jiang Chuge still felt that it was not perfect.

Liu Hu died, and King Lin and Han Xiao tightly twisted into a rope, and above the court, they had too many opportunities to quibble.

"Lord Jiang, before Liu Hu was assassinated, you asked the cell boss to let go of all the rest of the Liu Mansion in the prison, and the housekeeper of the Sixth Liu Mansion was also among them at that time. If you can find a housekeeper, you will definitely gain something. ”

At Wu Bantou's suggestion, Jiang Chuge decided to do as he said.

However, because Wu Bantou didn't know that Lin Han had a problem, when he went back to the Criminal Division to take someone to find the housekeeper of Liu's Mansion, he was asked by Lin Han, and he told everything.

Therefore, when they inquired in many ways and learned where the butler lived, and arrived, the butler's family of five had been killed.

A knife escapes, the housekeeper is killed, and the case seems to be progressing, but in reality it is once again deadlocked.

In the next three days, Qin Ying sent a large number of people to search for the whereabouts of a knife, but found nothing.

Seeing that the ten-day period set by Emperor Chrysostom had passed halfway, Jiang Chuge couldn't help but think of the methods used by the police in modern police stations to interrogate suspects who had accomplices, usually taking advantage of the suspects' psychology that they did not trust each other very much, so as to make progress in the case.

At present, the investigation of the case is in a predicament, maybe this method can be improved a little and applied to Qin Yilin and Han Xiao, and there will be unexpected gains.

She hurried to the Criminal Department and had a secret conversation with Qin Ying.

On the second day, Qin Ying personally led people to participate in the early dynasty when the ministers passed through the palace gate, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he arrested Han Xiao without saying anything and sent him to the back hall of the Criminal Department for secret "interrogation".

However, the real scene of this "interrogation" that shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty but was extremely confidential was that Han Xiao accompanied Qin Ying and Jiang Chuge and drank tea in the back hall of the Criminal Department for more than an hour.

Han Xiao was nervous and confused throughout the whole process, but Qin Ying and Jiang Chuge were leisurely and comfortable, chatting with him from time to time.

After estimating that the dynasty was dispersed, Qin Ying waved his hand to let Han Xiao leave.

Han Xiao came out of the Criminal Division, walked around the noisy and noisy street market for a long time, and finally entered King Lin's mansion through the back door.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper of King Lin's mansion, he soon entered King Lin's study.

In the study, Qin Yilin, who learned that Han Xiao had left the Criminal Division intact, had already made thousands of conjectures in his heart with a gloomy face.

That Han Xiao came in and saluted her as usual, his dangerous phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and there was an infinite darkness surging in the middle.

"Lin Han told this king, you and King Yi and Jiang Chuge stayed in the back hall of the Criminal Division for more than an hour, what did you say during this period?"

His voice was cold, and the questioning meaning was obvious.

Hearing his words, a trace of hesitation flashed on Han Xiao's face, and he thought about it in his heart, and just now he clenched his fists and spoke: "Lord Wang, the lower official only drank tea for a morning in the Criminal Division, and he didn't do anything else." ”

"Han Xiao, since this king can protect you, he can also kill you! You'd better think it through! ”

Qin Yilin didn't believe Han Xiao's words.

Han Xiao knelt on the ground with a frightened expression: "Lord Wang, what the lower official said is true, the lower official is ready not to betray you no matter what, but who knows that Prince Yi and Jiang Tixing just let the lower official sit in the back hall, neither allowed the lower official to leave, nor answered the lower official's questions, until the time for the palace to disperse, did not let the official leave." ”

Han Xiao's face turned red with emotion, for fear that Qin Yilin would not believe him.

Qin Yilin was suspicious by nature, even if Han Xiao had done this, he still had doubts in his heart.

"How do you prove it?"

He asked with a calm face, his eyes fixed on Han Xiao, not missing any trace of emotional changes on his face.

"This ......"

Han Xiao was stunned, although he was a little smart, he was a martial artist after all, and he had no advantage in terms of wisdom and strategy.

Qin Yilin suddenly threw out such a question, which stumped him.

He thought for a while, strengthened his courage, and asked tentatively: "Or, the lower officials will lead people to surround the imperial city, and you will ascend the throne?" ”

However, his words were exchanged for a sneer from Qin Yilin: "Heh~ Han Xiao, do you really have the courage to do such a rebellious thing in order to show loyalty to this king?" ”

"As long as the prince gives an order, the lower officials will never shirk!"

Han Xiao swore that although he was not a person of great wisdom and wisdom, he also understood that he was already standing in the same boat as King Lin now, and he could no longer be separated.

If King Lin loses power, what awaits him will not be a good ending.

At that time, Splendid Lane

Hu Tianle, who lived in the Qi Palace, suddenly remembered her little red snake who only wanted to be in the jade box and was injured and needed to be taken care of.

Because she didn't dare to let the housekeeper's grandfather know that she had a snake, she hid from the maid in the small building, sneaked out of the back door of the Qi Palace, and ran to Splendid Lane alone.

She opened the door with the key that hung around her neck, and when she entered the house, she took the jade box, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and wanted to go out.

But at the moment of turning around, he suddenly saw a person standing behind him.

"Who are you? Why did you secretly come to my house and Sister Chu'er's house? ”

"I ...... I went to the wrong door. ”

Lin Han was full of horror, said a perfunctory sentence, turned around and left.

Yan Wanrong watched him leave, pursed her lips, and didn't take it seriously.

The guards outside the courtyard gate of Jiang Chuge's residence have been withdrawn, and Jiang Chuge is not here at this time, and the secret toilet that secretly protects her is not there.

Therefore, Qin Ying and Jiang Chuge didn't know how to return gracefully, and met Lin Han here, and were discovered by him about the existence of the Red Lin Fire Dragon.

I don't know what a respectable identity the little guy in the jade box in his arms has, after Lin Han left, he held the jade box and planned to go back to the Qi Palace, but when he walked to the courtyard, the little boy next door who found her back saw it and dragged it to his house to play.

After more than half an hour, Lin Han hurriedly stepped into the back door of King Lin's mansion, and soon entered Qin Yilin's study.

Han Xiao had already left, and Qin Yilin was the only one left in the study at this time.

Lin Han entered in a hurry and disorderly, and before he even saluted, he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the lower official found the Honglin Fire Dragon ...... that should have been kept in the East Palace in Jiang Chuge's residence."

Lin Han stayed in Qin Yilin's study for less than half a stick of incense and left.

After he left, Qin Yilin ordered the housekeeper to go to Han Xiao's mansion immediately and call Han Xiao over.

At the same time, two secret guards were sent to summon Zhang Li, the captain of the patrol camp who was on the same job as Wang Jing, and to determine whether the little girl Lin Han said was the little orphan girl Yan Wanrong adopted.

If Han Xiao's sentence before, as long as he gave an order, he would never shirk it, and he would definitely send troops to surround the imperial city, which prompted Qin Yilin to turn against him.

Then, Lin Han suddenly came to reveal the whereabouts of the Red Lin Fire Dragon, which first made him completely firm in his rebellion.

The red lin fire dragon is the holy beast of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, and the people have an almost crazy awe for it, and in the land of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, the people even spread the words of the red lin fire dragon and the world of the Eastern Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the red lin fire dragon has always been raised by the royal family, and to a certain extent, it has played a role in helping the emperor rule the country.

Since Qin Yichen's weak crown, the Red Lin Fire Dragon has been raised by the East Palace.

A few months ago, the Honglin Fire Dragon suddenly disappeared, and Qin Yichen secretly sent people to search for him in many ways, thinking that he could hide from his sight, but in fact it was not.

The reason why he didn't expose it was just to know who else was like him, who was fighting the Red Lin Fire Dragon.

If what Lin Han said was true, once he got the Honglin Fire Dragon, he could let Han Xiao send troops to surround the imperial city, and as for the so-called Qinwang army in various places, with the Honglin Fire Dragon in hand, he was completely fearless.

On the other side, because it was noon, Jiang Chuge and Qin Ying went to the restaurant outside to have lunch together, and then returned to the Criminal Department to wait for news, and Qin Ying also returned to the Criminal Department.

In the Criminal Division, Jiang Chuge discussed some things with Wu Bantou, and was about to take a break, when a messenger came in from outside the door and reported to her: "My lord, there is a person outside who claims to be Handzhong, the housekeeper of the Qi Palace, who asks to see her. ”

"Butler Hand?"

Jiang Chuge was slightly surprised, thinking that something had happened to Yan Wanrong, so he hurriedly got up and went out with the officer.
