Li Xu's expression was warm, and he smiled slightly: "Now I am investigating Huijing's case in the Criminal Department, if there is any news about this case, please let me know." ”

Kong Wuye's expression became a little stiff, before Li Xu would shout affectionately when he met him: "Fifth brother", but now he looks very rusty, it seems that Li Xu is still a little annoyed by his actions.

The Kong family had already packed up the study and invited the two of them to come over and talk.

"Fifth Master Kong didn't just enter Beijing today, right?" Li Xu sat on a chair, "Can you stay at a post house along the way?" ”

Kong Wuye raised his eyelids: "The ninth brother interrogated me like this, do you think that we deliberately killed that evil servant?" ”

Li Xu said indifferently: "Mother Zheng died in the hands of Kong Wuye before she was tried, no matter what the situation was, the government had to ask Kong Wuye according to the rules, this case involved Cheng Wangye, Cheng Wang's Mansion has been sealed, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Zongzheng Temple handle the case together, and all the principals must check the case file every day, if I cover it up arbitrarily, I am afraid that the people who will be imprisoned tomorrow will become me and Kong Wuye." ”

Kong Wuye seems to know the seriousness of the matter now: "Although I didn't live in the post house along the way, I really only came to Beijing today, and the ninth brother can go and ask the people around me." ”

Li Xu said: "I will tell the scribes to go." ”

Kong Wuye breathed a sigh of relief: "The ninth brother has been busy with official business these days, and when the errand at hand has an eyebrow, it is better to check on Shen Congrong, if there is anything you want to know, you can come and ask me." ”

Li Xu stood up and took his leave.

Kong Wuye watched Li Xu order the Yacha to escort away a lot of people from the Kong family, his eyes were a little more angry, and when the courtyard was quiet, he went to Kong Er's grandmother's room again.

Although the blood stains on the ground have been cleaned up, Miss Li can still ask about the smell of blood in the room, and then think of the tragic situation of Mother Zheng, whose eyes are staring at her tightly.

Miss Li's heart was cold, and she felt a wave of nausea.

After tossing for a long time, Miss Li weakly instructed her subordinates: "Clean up the small courtyard, I will move in." ”

The subordinate immediately went down to make arrangements, turned around and saw Kong Wuye standing quietly not far away, and was immediately frightened and took a few steps back, not knowing how long Kong Wuye had been standing here silently.

The subordinates hurriedly saluted Kong Wuye.

Kong Wuye turned around and sat on the chair, and drank the tea casually, as if he had forgotten what happened in this house, and waited until Miss Li sent the people around him away, Kong Wuye said: "The second sister-in-law's clan brother is not simple, on the surface he is quiet, but he can't drain the water around this courtyard, and he also asked people to check the whereabouts of the second sister-in-law in Beijing, and even the eldest sister who has been protecting herself doesn't believe it...... Thanks to my timely arrival, without Zheng's mother, he would not have been able to ask anything, and the yamen would not have grasped a trivial matter. ”

Miss Li looked at Fifth Master Kong: "What is Fifth Uncle talking about?" ”

Kong Wuye's eyes flashed and changed the topic: "The second sister-in-law doesn't like to listen, then I won't talk about it, it doesn't matter."

After Kong Wuye said this, he raised his feet and put them on the low table, leaned comfortably on the cushion, and seemed to say to himself: "Do you say that he is interested in Shen Congrong's case?"

If he wasn't stupid, he should know what to do. ”

Miss Li pursed her lips: "Fifth Master, it's not early, I'm going to rest, Fifth Master should go out quickly!" ”

Kong Wuye laughed: "I came all the way to Beijing, and I haven't eaten yet, so my second sister-in-law sent me away like this, I'm afraid it will be inconsiderate." ”

The corners of Miss Li's eyes tightened, she straightened up and called her subordinates: "Let the kitchen arrange meals for the fifth master." ”

Kong Wuye laughed out loud: "How can I eat with a straight face, second sister-in-law," he said and stood up, "I'd better go outside to find a restaurant and wait for my second brother to come to Beijing!" ”

Miss Li watched Kong Wuye walk out of the door, her hands clenched tightly, and her knuckles were blue.

……

Li Xu went to the Criminal Department to arrange everything before returning to Li's house.

There was no one else in the room, Zhou Yue said in a low voice: "There must be something wrong with Fifth Master Kong, as soon as you caught Mother Zheng, he entered the door, and before he could say a word, Mother Zheng tried to hurt Miss Li with a hairpin, not to mention that you and Fifth Master Kong are there, Mother Zheng doesn't want to touch Miss Li at all."

Mother Zheng didn't confirm the crime by doing that.

Kong Wuye is clearly killing people under our noses, the Kong family is afraid that there is collusion with King Cheng, I left Beijing overnight and went north to inquire to verify Kong Wuye's whereabouts. ”

Li Xu raised his eyes: "What if it's verified?" ”

Zhou Yue was stunned by the question.

Zheng's mother, who directly poisoned Miss Li, is dead, even if she gets some evidence, it doesn't matter, and she can't punish Kong Wuye for this.

"So what to do?" Zhou Yue said, "King Cheng has fallen, and the Kong family came to Beijing to rescue King Cheng?" ”

The candle flame flickered, Li Xu's eyes were clearly extinguished in the light, he raised his hand to pick up the cup on the table, and he carefully thought about Kong Wuye's words.

Shen Congrong served as the chief soldier in Fujian, and Song Chengxuan made a lot of military exploits under Shen Congrong, before he speculated that the Song family was related to the Wei Wang case, and now Kong Wuye has mentioned Shen Congrong.

When the eldest sister mentioned to him that the Kong family wanted their children to go to the southeast to take up a post, he told the eldest sister that Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan had worked hard to plan everything in Changzhou and would not let people get involved in the southeast.

Kong Wuye still came to the capital.

Perhaps the Kong family felt that it was impossible for Song Chengxuan to return to the southeast to take up his post.

The Kong family said that Shen Congrong was raised by an inner servant, and he was able to have today's status by virtue of the power of the inner servant.

A person's shadow floated in front of Li Xu's eyes.

Master Shen.

He was in the palace when King Wei was in the case of King Wei before, and if his inference was correct before, someone would have reported to the Wei Palace.

Could the person who reported the news be Master Shen?

Song Chengxuan's life experience is really problematic, and the real culprit behind the scenes that Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan have been dealing with is obviously also targeting Song Chengxuan.

It's a game of lore chess, and I don't know who will win in the end.

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Yue asked, "How should we find the evidence of the Kong family?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry," Li Xu said, "There are some things that need to be investigated slowly to know the results." ”

Zhou Yue looked at Li Xu's calm expression: "Jiulang, you don't want to let go of the Kong family, do you?" ”

Li Xu frowned, and his whole person became extremely cold.

Zhou Yue swallowed: "Those people have done all the bad things, and now while King Cheng is being investigated, they should be uprooted, and the previous efforts cannot be in vain." ”

Li Xu said: "Do you suspect that I will protect the Kong family?" ”

"No," Zhou Yue said immediately, "I know you're not that kind of person." ”

Li Xu stopped talking and opened the official document in his hand.

Zhou Yue stood up and retreated, and walked to the courtyard Zhou Yue couldn't help but sigh, he didn't know what happened today, he would question Li Xu.

may still be affected by Miss Xu's words.

He knew that Li Xu would never stand with the Kong family.

……

Master Shen thought about it for a few days, and finally couldn't hold it back, put on his coat and walked to Beicheng alone, more than ten years ago he ordered someone to send the news of the murder of King Wei out of the palace.

The news was not sent to the Wei Palace, but to a courtyard that Wu Sheng said, and then he seemed to have forgotten about it, and did not go to the courtyard again, let alone ask who lived in the courtyard.

Master Shen walked forward, and the courtyard appeared in front of him, and in the end, he couldn't help but come here, wanting to seek an answer.

Master Shen stepped forward and stretched out his hand to knock on the wooden door in front of him, but in the end he put his hand down, he turned around and wanted to walk away quickly, but the door opened behind him.

A voice said, "Come in, our master has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
