Before Qing Pei came back to his senses, the two of them were already standing outside the courtyard wall of Wangchun Tower unscathed.

Qing Pei remembered the scene where Gu Huanli, the county magistrate, took her to fly the eaves and walk the wall that day, and she forgot that the person in front of her was a top master.

"Isn't this the end of it?" Wan Mei let go of the hand holding Qing Pei, crossed her waist and said with a relaxed face.

Qing Pei hurriedly followed her to the inn where Gu Huanli lived.

Seeing that Wan Mei was dashing all the way, it was not until the door of Gu Huan's room that she instantly retracted: "My subordinate Wan Mei took Miss Qingpei to ask to see." ”

This serious and awe-filled look was similar to Fang Cai's cynical appearance, which made Qing Pei even more involuntarily suspicious of the identity of the person in the room.

"Come in." A man's cold voice came from the room, and Wan Mei took Qing Pei in.

"Childe, Miss Qingpei said that there are major clues related to the case, and she only took the liberty to bother from below." Charm said this with trepidation.

Gu Huanli waved his hand: "I know, you can step back." ”

Hearing this, the charm immediately left.

Qing Pei stood in place and looked at the back of the arrogant man in front of him: what is the identity of this person who can command so many peerless masters to make them bow down to him.

was in a trance, and suddenly heard Gu Huanli's words, "Don't you have something to say", and Qing Pei reacted.

"I just happened to meet Wang Zixuan's uncle, and I learned from him that Wang Zixuan's disappearance was indeed planned by the Wang family to frame Lord Lu."

As soon as Qing Pei spoke, Gu Huanli turned around: "Is that really the case?" Then can you ask Wang Zixuan's whereabouts from his mouth? ”

Speaking of this, why doesn't Qingpei want to know? It's just that Wang Tao is really lustful.

Qing Pei didn't want to mention what happened just now, so he simply shook his head: "No, before Qing Pei could ask, he was already drunk and unconscious." ”

Gu Huanli's eyebrows sank when he heard this, and that was a failure.

After a moment of silence, Gu Huanli couldn't help but have a plan in his heart, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Are you willing to continue to help Lu Xuan find out about this matter?" ”

Qing Pei nodded: "Naturally willing." ”

Only then did Gu Huanli express his plan: "If you want to help Lu Xuan, the person you just mentioned may be an important breakthrough, if you can stay by his side and pretend to curry favor, you may be able to find out more information." ”

Hearing this, Qing Pei couldn't help but feel worried, seeing that she was hesitating, Gu Huanli didn't force it: "If you don't want to, I ...... too."

Before he finished speaking, Qing Pei had already agreed: "I am willing, as long as I can help Lord Lu, I am willing to do anything." ”

In this way, Gu Huanli nodded: "Don't worry, since I have arranged for Wan Mei to protect you, I will not let anyone be unfavorable to you again." ”

Qing Pei, who is a charmer, has already seen it, if she still had a lot of worries in her heart when she heard Gu Huanli mention such a request, then at this moment, with a master like Huang Mei to protect her, she will no longer have any worries.

Qing Pei immediately agreed more firmly: "Don't worry, your lordship, Qing Pei will definitely do his best to restore Lord Lu's innocence." ”

With that, Qing Pei left immediately, and Wan Mei accompanied him all the way according to the instructions to take care of Huan Li.

The next day, the sky was already bright, Wang Tao just opened his eyes in a drunken haze, and saw a graceful posture sitting in front of the bronze mirror.

Hearing the movement, Qing Pei immediately turned around: "Childe is awake." ”

Seeing Qing Pei's smiling face, Wang Tao couldn't help but be full of confusion, and he couldn't remember what happened last night at all.

"Why did I fall asleep?" Wang Tao asked Qingpei.

Qingpei hurriedly stepped forward: "Gongzi also said that Qingpei only toasted a few glasses of thin wine last night, and the guest officer fell asleep, thinking about it, it was really disappointing." ”

Qing Pei pretended to be disappointed and said, but Wang Tao was half incredulous, and he didn't feel a sharp pain in his back until he moved slightly.

"Hiss~ Why does my back look like I was beaten, are you sure I was drunk last night?" Wang Tao was a little suspicious.

Qing Pei hurriedly explained: "Childe laughed, there were only Qing Pei and Childe in the room last night, Qing Pei had no power to restrain the chicken, could it be that he could still hurt Childe?" ”

Thinking about it, last night's charm shot very quickly, Wang Tao probably didn't have time to see the figure clearly before his eyes turned black.

Sure enough, after hearing Qingpei's lies, Wang Tao really looked confused: "Yes, but my back is really painful." ”

In order to avoid arousing his suspicions, Qing Pei suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, Qing Pei seems to remember, last night Qing Pei was overwhelmed when he helped his son to go to bed to rest, and he accidentally knocked his son when he touched it." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Tao hated himself so much: it was useless to get drunk even when he was in bed!

Seeing that Wang Tao didn't seem to have any suspicions, Qing Pei said again: "Qing Pei was careless, and I am here to make amends to my son." ”

Wang Tao has always been pitiful and cherished jade, such a beauty grovels in front of him, where is he willing to be held accountable?

Without saying a word, he helped Qing Pei up, and his face was still confused.

"The beauty is serious, how can I be willing to blame you? It's just a good night's work in vain, why don't we make it up for it now......" Wang Tao said and then his heart was filled again.

Qing Pei hurriedly dodged: "What did the son say, it's already dawn now, and Wangchun Tower is about to close." ”

Seeing a trace of impatience on Wang Tao's face when he heard this, and thinking that he would have to count on him to come up with some news in the future, Qing Peicai deliberately left a line again-

"If Childe really looks down on Qingpei, he can wait until the evening to come back."

With Qingpei's personal invitation, Wang Tao suddenly showed joy again, and then nodded and agreed: "Okay, that beauty will wait, son, I will definitely come again tonight." ”

After that, Wang Tao immediately turned around and left, and Qing Pei finally put away this uncomfortable fox appearance and breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, before the county government stopped for a few days, the Wang family sent people to make trouble again.

I saw that Wang Ji'an deliberately brought many people to the gate of the county government, claiming that the prefect of Jiangnan and Lu Xuan's officials protected each other and defrauded the people.

Su Junfeng went out when he heard the news, but he was faced with a scene that was comparable to Lu Xuan's originality.

"Master Wang, what do you mean by this?" Su Junfeng asked Wang Ji'an angrily with his eyes full of anger.

Wang Ji'an did not restrain at all, but instead looked like a hooligan: "What do you mean? What does it mean that the adult is protecting Lu Xuan for a long time? ”

Su Junfeng was furious when he heard this: "When did this official protect anyone? ”

But even so, Wang Ji'an didn't have any fear on his face, and he still went his own way.

"Do you have a favoritism and do you know in your own heart, it has been half a month since the adult took over this case, but my son is still missing, and Lu Xuan, who did evil, is also staying in the county office, shouldn't the adult give my Wang family an explanation?"

Wang Ji'an said something, and the people around him who didn't know the truth also followed to ask Su Junfeng for an explanation.

Su Junfeng had a headache for a while: "This official handled the case impartially and did not favor anyone, but there is no evidence to prove that Ling Lang's disappearance was indeed committed by Lu Xuan, so naturally he can't abuse lynching her." ”

"What is there no evidence yet, our master has provided so much evidence before, if it weren't for your official protection, how could they be rejected one by one?" A member of the Wang family was "indignant".

Su Junfeng was instantly distressed by the rumors again.

Originally, Wang Ji'an's trip to Su Junfeng could cure him for the crime of disturbing the court, but now there are many voices of opposition, and it is the law of the country that officials must not hurt the people, and Su Junfeng was at a loss for a while.

At the same time, the secret guard who saw this also hurriedly rushed back to the inn to report to Gu Huanli: "Your Highness, the Wang family led the people to coerce the prefect to convict Lord Lu. ”

Hearing this, Gu Huanli suddenly frowned: It seems that this matter cannot be delayed any longer.

"Can the Wang family find any incriminating evidence?" Gu Huanli asked.

The secret guard hurriedly denied it, and said that the Wang family still wanted to rely on the power of the people to retract the confession of the invalidated person certificate he had provided earlier.

Gu Huanli was thoughtful when he heard this, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "Since this is the case, let them fold it in the hands of their own witnesses." ”

"Qin Xiao, this king ordered you to track down the Wang family's certificate, do you have eyebrows?" Gu Huanli asked the guy named Shi An from before.

Qin Xiao immediately nodded: "Back to Your Highness, this person has been found." ”

"Bring him here, and the king himself will interrogate him." Gu Huanli's voice was cold, his face was gloomy, and he had a tendency to ask for his life.

Thinking that this person was bribed by the Wang family to commit perjury, Gu Huanli didn't believe that someone could keep his mouth shut in front of the criminal department for a few ingots of silver.

Qin Wei received the order and immediately went to arrest Shi An.

At that time, Shi An thought that he had nothing to do with the affairs of the Wang family, and was happily alive with the reward he had received in exchange for perjury.

I saw a heroic man in black suddenly appear in front of him, staring at him intently with a pair of eagle eyes.

Seeing this, Shi An couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart, and then asked tentatively, "Who are you?" ”

Qin Wei didn't say it clearly, only said that his son-in-law wanted to invite him to talk.

But it seems that everyone's faces are as cold as frost, and just looking at them makes people feel creepy, where does Shi An dare to go with them?

Shi Anqiang held on to his courage and refused: "Why should I see your son-in-law?" Who is your son-in-law, and if he wants to see me, will he see him? ”

But this was really said by Shi An, and that son could really see whoever he wanted.

Seeing that Shi An himself was unwilling to cooperate obediently, Qin Wei had no choice but to come hard, he immediately waved his hand at several secret guards behind him, and before Shi An could react, he had already become a fish caught in the net.

"You, if you kidnap people in broad daylight, I can go to the county government to sue you." Shi An struggled and said.

Qin Xiao looked disapproving: "Don't worry, you will be able to go to the county government soon, take it away!" ”

After that, everyone immediately detoured back to the inn from the path, and in order to avoid Shi An's noisy attention, Qin Wei had to order someone to knock him unconscious for the time being.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already tied up and placed in a strange and dark room.

This is the underground of the inn, which was originally a place where the boss was going to hide a lot of money, but now it was wrapped up by Gu Huan and transformed into a cold and cruel torture room.
