The county magistrate of Li County was stunned by Lu Xuan's question, and she gave an order - "Search for me!" ”

When everyone in the Criminal Department heard this, they stepped forward one after another, and searched all over the county government of Li County, and Lu Xuan also looked for the strong quinine smell, and found it all the way to the county order room.

At that time, the smell became even more pungent, and it seemed that the batch of quinine that Lu Xuan was looking for was indeed here.

The county magistrate of Lixian County followed Lu Xuan all the way, and when she arrived here, she suddenly looked back at him: "What about the box of official silver you just mentioned?" Why hasn't I seen him yet? ”

Lu Xuan pretended to be looking for the official bank, and asked the county order in one sentence.

This small county office, if it weren't for the box that was brought in just now was really official silver, how could he get such a whole box of silver with the county order himself?

Lu Xuan asked knowingly, and when he saw that the county order was not answered, he asked, "Then what is the smell in this house?" ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he was suddenly full of panic, and hurriedly covered it up: "It's just the medicine that Xia Guan has been suffering from a cold recently, and he has made it for himself." ”

"Oh? A medicine for wind and cold, but why did the official smell of quinine in it? Lu Xuan asked, the taste was clearly exactly the same as the taste of the powder she picked up on the floor of the Imperial Medicine Pavilion.

The county magistrate of Li County was already panicked, and when he heard the word quinine at this moment, he was even more frightened that the three souls lost their seven souls.

The methods used by the Criminal Department to handle cases are well known to outsiders, and if they are recognized by the Criminal Department as a criminal, I am afraid that life will be worse than death.

Out of such concerns, the county magistrate of Lixian County hurriedly knelt down towards Lu Xuangui: "The lower official knows that he is wrong, all this is done by others, but the lower official did it, and the lower official is just helping to save these quinines." ”

Sure enough, as Lu Xuan expected, she immediately continued to ask: "Then do you want to confess the person behind you?" ”

This sounds a bit polite, but after thinking about it, where is there any choice in the county order of Li County?

At this point, the county magistrate of Li County had no choice but to accept his fate, and then reluctantly said a name to Lu Xuan: "It is the deputy envoy of the trial of the Tai Hospital, Lord Luo Ming'an." ”

Sure enough, it was related to the people in the Tai Hospital, and Lu Xuan immediately asked, is the quinine lost in the palace here also here?

The county magistrate of Li County nodded: "Lord Hui, they are indeed here." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction, and Lu Xuan immediately motioned to the people in the criminal department around him to look for it.

After a while, a large number of quinine were found in the corner over there, no more, no less, exactly the same number as the number lost in the palace.

Everyone got the quinine and was about to leave, but Lu Xuan suddenly thought of another thing, and then asked the county magistrate of Li County, "This batch of quinine was transported here a few months ago?" ”

The county magistrate of Li County hesitated for a while, thinking that those who should be recruited and those who should not be recruited have already been recruited, and this sentence is not bad.

He just told Lu Xuan the truth: "These quinines have indeed been transported here since a few months ago, but they are divided into many batches, and the last batch of adults have also seen it, and they were just delivered." ”

What the county order of Li County said was exactly what Lu Xuan had inferred before, and it seemed that someone really wanted to frame Gu Huanli.

I'm afraid that the deputy envoy of the trial of the district hospital doesn't have the courage, and Lu Xuan can't help but lead his thoughts to someone in the East Palace.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to bring back this batch of quinine before the people from the West Factory arrive, so Lu Xuan didn't have time to think deeply, so he could only order the people in the Criminal Department to bring people and things back first.

On the other side, Shen Xixu did his best to drag the five guards sent by Xichang to investigate the case by his side.

It wasn't until there was no longer room for procrastination, that one of the five guards spoke before he walked to the door of the eldest princess's mansion: "Your Royal Highness the county lord, it's here." ”

Shen Xixu hesitated again and again, and couldn't help praying in his heart: Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan, I can only help you get here, and the rest is up to you.

"County Lord?" Seeing that Shen Xixu seemed to be in a trance, one of the five guards hurriedly called out to her: "Since His Royal Highness the county lord has returned to the mansion safely, I still have important things to do." He retired first. ”

Hearing this, Shen Xixu didn't stop it, and it didn't stop it, so he could only choose to be silent in embarrassment.

By the time she reacted again, the five West Factory guards had disappeared without a trace.

But fortunately, Lu Xuan had already completed the important task one step ahead, and when the five returned to the lower reaches of the Li River to join their leader, there was no trace of anyone.

"Could it be that they have already caught someone and gone to find something first?" One of them speculated.

Qin Wei hid the bodies of the two people extremely secretly, so he cleaned up the traces of the fight at the scene, and he couldn't find anything greasy about the five elm heads.

The five of them thought so, thinking that their leader was nowhere to be found, and they had no choice but to rush back to the Governor of the West Factory to report.

The five of them thought that when they returned, they would see the thief of quinine caught, waiting only to be rewarded for their deeds, but I did not expect to come back but did not see a single person, not even their leader.

"Boss, they haven't come back yet? Shall we go out and find out? One of them asked.

The other was confused: "But where are we going to find it?" ”

This is also to say that they don't know where the thief who stole the quinine is, and even if they go out to look for it at this time, I'm afraid it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The five of them were in a dilemma for an instant, and were thinking hard about it, when a deep voice suddenly came from behind them: "I'm back so soon, can someone be caught, and something can be found?" ”

Who else can this voice have in Xicheng besides the commander Wang Yong?

Hearing this, the five people hurriedly turned around: "See the commander." ”

At this time, what Wang Yong needed was not these red tape, and an impatient charm instantly ignited between his eyebrows: "This official is asking you, are you deaf?" ”

Hearing this, the five people hurriedly knelt down, and hesitated for a long time before one of them dared to respond: "Lord Hui Commander, the five subordinates and the other two brothers have been separated, and the two of them are now following the thieves and don't know where they went." ”

When Wang Yong heard this, he was immediately full of anger: "There are only seven people in total who can be separated, what do you do to eat?" ”

"What the commander taught the master a lesson was that his subordinates and others met the county lord of Pingchuan on the way, and the county lord was separated from his subordinates, so he had to transfer people from Xichang to send her back, and his subordinates and others really didn't dare to disobey!"

After listening to his subordinates' explanations, Wang Yong was suddenly full of doubts: "Pingchuan County Lord, how could she appear in that kind of place alone?" ”

Wang Yongzheng was puzzled, and the guards outside the door suddenly rushed in in a panic: "Tell the commander, the lost quinine in the Imperial Medicine Pavilion has been recovered." ”

Hearing this, the five guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Yong's face was full of doubts.

Until the doorman continued: "Quinine and the person who stole quinine have been recovered, but the person has been taken to the criminal department. ”

"The Criminal Department?" Everyone present was shocked.

Wang Yong was even more annoyed and angry: "The people in Xichang are handling the case, when will the criminals be handed over to the Criminal Department?" ”

Although the doorman was embarrassed, he could only answer truthfully: "My subordinates heard that it was the envoy of the Criminal Department who led people to find those kunins first, and not only that, but they also traced down the masterminds behind those thieves. ”

At this time, Wang Yong didn't care about listening to the stories told by the guards of his own house anymore, so he walked towards the criminal department without saying a word.

At that time, Gu Huanli had already received the news and appeared in the Criminal Department with Lu Xuan and others to try the county order of Li County.

Hearing that the person behind the scenes was the deputy envoy of the trial of the Tai Hospital, Gu Huanli immediately sent someone to the palace to inform Emperor Liang Qin, and extracted the person to await trial.

Emperor Liang Qin was also shocked when he saw that the person who came was a person from the Murderous Palace: I clearly handed over this matter to the people of Xichang, how could I be taken down by the Criminal Department?

But after all, now is not the time to pursue these things, after all, the people who find quinine are the people in their own court, and there is nothing to distinguish.

Only then did Emperor Liang Qin agree to let the people from the Murderous Palace's Mansion go to the Tai Hospital with an edict to pick up people.

At that time, the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital was still complacent because all the quinine had been transported out, but he didn't know that a huge wave outside was already surging towards him.

"Inspector of the Criminal Department, I have come to interrogate the person who stole quinine on the orders of His Majesty." There was a sound like this at the door.

The deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital was suddenly shocked, and couldn't help but have all kinds of doubts in his heart: How could it be? How did they find out about me? What can I do?

He was struggling like this, but the sound of the outsider's urging became more and more urgent, forcing him to step forward and open the door immediately.

As soon as the door opened, I saw the leader of the criminal department glancing at the subordinates behind him, and the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital was taken down before he could react.

Everyone escorted the prisoner to the criminal department, and along the way, the deputy envoy of the trial of the Tai Hospital was flustered and tried to think about his own words.

But the time seemed to fly by now, and before he could think about it, he was already brought to Gu Huanli.

The deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital looked at those medicinal materials all the year round, and had never seen anything in the world, and at this time, he was already extremely panicked in his heart, and he was even more panicked when he saw Gu Huanli's respectful face.

"You're the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital?" Gu Huanli asked in his indifferent and rather threatening voice.

Frightened, the person opposite hurriedly knelt down towards him: "Xiaguan Luo Ming'an see His Royal Highness the Fierce King." ”

Gu Huan Li ignored these polite words, and instead asked directly at Luo Ming'an: "Could the loss of the Imperial Medicine Pavilion quinine during this period of time be related to you?" ”

Hearing this, although Luo Ming'an was a thief, he still subconsciously covered it up for himself: "The lower official is wronged, the lower official doesn't know about this matter, and I ask His Royal Highness to investigate." ”

The most unbearable thing for Gu Huanli is that someone lied in front of him, he had already given Luo Mingan a chance, but he didn't know how to cherish it, since this was the case, he had nothing to hesitate about.

"Inspector, put this person and the arrested Li County Commander into the prison, and interrogate him severely." Gu Huanli ordered.

Hearing that the county order of Li County had been arrested, Luo Mingan instantly panicked: "Your Highness spares your life, and the lower official is just a ghost for a while." ”
