After Fang You and the others discussed, they decided to go their separate ways, Xue Qi and Ji Hui went to find Ji Xiu, and Fang You and Zhao Rou went to Wei Qinghuan to investigate the case of Wang Zhifu being poisoned.

"If there is any news, we will go back to the inn and tell you then." Fang You said to Xue Qi and Ji Hui.

"But be careful to protect yourself." Zhao Rou added.

"yes, got it." Xue Qi and Ji Yi looked at her and nodded.

Zhao Rou saw that Fang You deliberately slowed down, so she stopped Fang You, "Ah You, are you ......?"

Fang You shook his head and said, "I'm fine, let's go." ”

Zhao Rou grabbed her and said, "Ayu, it's useless to escape some things, the knot in your heart has not been untied, and it will be even more difficult to see him in the future." Didn't you just say that? It's better for him to forget you, so why should you worry about what happened before. ”

"No," Fang Yu said hesitantly, "I don't know how to live with him again." ”

"It's easy," Zhao Ju said, "If you have already made a decision, then you are in front of him as the chief commander of the Cheng Ling Division, and he is just the Qing Wei of Dali Temple to you." ”

Zhao Rou's simple words made Fang You feel as if her heart was being pinched hard, maybe she already understood what Zhao Rou said in her heart, but when others said it, she could accept it better. She smiled slightly, looked up at Zhao Rou and said, "I know, let's go." ”

Zhao Rou looked at her back, sighed, and followed.

When the two arrived at the palace, they were told that Wei Qinghuan had brought several suspicious servants of the palace to the yamen to prepare for further interrogation.

"Then may I ask if your wife is in the house?" Fang Yu said to the little guy at the door.

The little guy nodded hurriedly and said, "Madame is handling the funeral of the master in the house, please come with me." ”

When the prefect's wife saw the two, she hurriedly saluted, Zhao Rou saw that she was tired all over, so she stretched out her hand and hugged her, "Madame, don't be polite, we just want to ask about the murder of Lord Wang at that time." ”

I saw that the prefect's wife thought for a moment, and then choked up and said, At that time, I had just finished eating with the master, and the master said that he was going to the yamen. But when the old man got up, he said that his stomach hurt, and as soon as he finished speaking, he fainted on the ground, and then foamed at the mouth, and then he ......"

"Did you check what he ate that day?" Fang You immediately asked.

Mrs. Prefect's eyes were sad, she nodded, and said, "Lord Wei has already checked it just now...... The old man's tea was poisoned. ”

"So it's likely that someone from your house did it?" Zhao Rou said on the side.

The prefect's wife then nodded and said, "Several suspicious subordinates have been taken to the yamen for interrogation by Lord Wei. ”

"Have those people had a holiday with your lord on weekdays?" Fang You asked.

"I don't know about that." The prefect's wife replied, "But the lord has always treated his subordinates well. After speaking, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief. Fang You suddenly saw that there seemed to be a large bruise on the prefect's wrist, so he asked curiously, "Madam, what's wrong with your wrist?" ”

When the prefect heard this, she hurriedly put her hand down, covered her arms with her sleeves, and said with a hint of panic in her eyes, "It's nothing...... It's just that...... I just accidentally bumped into the table. ”

Her words aroused Fang You's curiosity even more, how could she knock such a large bruise on the table? So I wanted to ask again, but the prefect's wife then cried, "The master is lying in that cold coffin now, what is my little injury?" The two of you must seek justice for my master! ”

Zhao Rou saw that she had lost her husband in her early years, and she looked pitiful, so she said, "Don't be sad, madam, the mourning is smooth, we will definitely find out about Lord Wang's affairs." ”

The prefect's wife looked at the backs of Zhao Rou and Fang You leaving, touched the bruises on her wrists, and took a deep breath.

Yamen.

"Is Lord Wei in there?" Zhao Rou asked the official at the door, "We have something to find Master Wei, and I want you to show us the way." ”

The official was a little embarrassed and said, "But Lord Wei ordered us not to let anyone in. After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Rou and Fang You, and said, "Then I'll go and report to the two, I don't know if the two are ......."

"You just said that the general commander of the Command Department asked to see you." At this time, Fang Yu on the side spoke.

The official hurriedly agreed to report why so many officials in the capital had come recently.

After a while, the servant came out and said to the two, "Come with me, two of you." ”

"Why are you Seiji also interfering in this matter?" Wei Qinghuan saw the two of them enter the cell, and said with a normal face.

"We're just doing what we're told." Fang You lowered his head and replied.

"On whose orders? Zhang Wei? Xiao Qibai? Wei Qinghuan snorted and said.

"This adult doesn't need to know." Fang You looked up at Wei Qinghuan and said.

"Is this the way you talk to me?" Wei Qinghuan's tone was not as cold as just now.

Zhao Rou saw that the smell of gunpowder was strong as soon as the two met, so she hurriedly came out to play a round and said, "Ah You may not have woken up today, and his words collided with adults, please forgive me." But we only followed the orders from above to investigate the case, and please don't embarrass us. ”

Wei Qinghuan glanced at Fang You, walked up to the servants who were brought out of the palace, and said to the two behind him, "Aren't you going to investigate the case?" Come here. ”

Fang You was originally angry and refused to go, but he was still pulled by Zhao Rou.

"Ask for yourself." After Wei Qinghuan finished speaking, he walked out of the cell, took two steps and turned back, and said, "General Fang Ling, can you move and say something." ”

When Fang You heard this, he just stood there and rubbed his hands. Zhao Rou then whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I'll interrogate here." ”

Fang You hesitated for a moment before nodding and following Wei Qinghuan out of the cell.

"You go down first." Wei Qinghuan said to the few people who followed behind him.

After those people left, the atmosphere seemed more solidified, Wei Qinghuan's mouth opened and closed, and it took a while to open his mouth, "What you just said...... I didn't mean it, I just didn't know what to say when I saw you. Wei Qinghuan took the hands behind his back to his side and held them tightly.

"Oh." Fang You looked a little restrained.

"You've been ...... lately How are you doing? Wei Qinghuan asked again.

"What do you want to say?" Fang Youdao.

"I ......"

Wei Qinghuan finally lowered his eyes and sighed, "It's nothing." ”

Fang You bit his lip and didn't speak again, turned around, raised his head slightly with red eyes and entered the cell.

Wei Qinghuan finally couldn't help but look up at her back.

"Your Excellency......" Wei Qinghuan's men called behind him, "I found it." ”

Wei Qinghuan retracted his gaze, "Who?" ”

"That Zhu Guang's house." The man replied.

"Can his family be tied up?" Wei Qinghuan said.

"I've done as my lord instructed."

Wei Qinghuan nodded, "Then bring it together." ”

"Yes." The man retreated.

"Ah You," Zhao Rou saw Fang You coming, and frowned and greeted him.

"What's wrong? Did you ask something? Fang Yu said.

Zhao Rou shook her head, and then said, "I wonder if Lord Wei asked something?" Did he just tell you anything? ”

"I didn't ...... No. Fang Yu replied.

"So what's going on?" Zhao Judo.

"Why don't we go to the palace and ask the prefect's wife again, I just felt that there was something wrong with the bruises on her body, but she was confused by a beating." Fang You said.

"Hmm." Zhao Rou nodded, "I had to do this first." ”

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, they saw Wei Qinghuan coming in, followed by a few people carrying two boxes.

"My lord, this is?" Zhao Rou asked.

"Interrogate the suspect." Wei Qinghuan chuckled and sat on the chair next to him, and then the other officials said, "Go and escort Zhu Guang over." ”

Several officials answered, and after a while, Zhu Guang was escorted. That Zhu Guang saw the box beside Wei Qinghuan, and lowered his head weakly.

Wei Qinghuan ordered someone to open the box, only to see that it was full of white silver, "You are a little servant in the house, how can you have so much silver?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Guang shrunk his body, avoiding Wei Qinghuan's gaze, "This is all saved by my business in my spare time." ”

"Oh? What kind of business did you make so much money, let me hear it? Wei Qinghuan said.

"I ......"

Wei Qinghuan clapped his hands without waiting for him to answer, and saw two of his subordinates walking in with what he thought was an old woman.

When Zhu Guang saw that his mother was being tied up, he shouted in panic, "My lord, what are you doing here?" My mother is old, you should let her go! ”

"It's not just your mother, you see." Wei Qingwan said, saying that someone had escorted Zhu Guang's four or five-year-old son out.

Wei Qinghuan continued, "You said that when something happened to the Governor Wang's Mansion, you were taking care of a sick child at home, which is different from what I heard from Ling Lang. ”

Zhu Guang was even more panicked when he heard this, he looked at his mother and son with a worried face, and said, "The child is not sensible, that's nonsense." ”

"But children's words are unscrupulous, and what children say is the most truthful." Wei Qinghuan ordered someone to loosen Zhu Guang's son's gag mouth.

"Daddy, Daddy, save me." As soon as the child could speak, he cried in fright, and when he saw Zhu Guanghou, he cried even more fiercely.

Wei Qinghuan squatted beside the kid and asked softly, "Shh, let me ask you a question, if you tell me honestly, I will let you and your father go, how about it?" ”

The kid nodded in fright.

"Is your dad home this morning?" Wei Qinghuan asked.

"Adults, children can't be trusted!" Zhu Guang took the first step and shouted loudly.

Wei Qinghuan glanced at Zhu Guang and signaled to the person behind him, and Zhu Guang's mouth was blocked.

"Is your dad home this morning?" Wei Qinghuan asked Zhu Guang's son softly again.

When the child saw that his father was gagged, he shook his head even more frightenedly, "Not at home." ”

Wei Qinghuan stood up at this time, walked up to Zhu Guang and took off the cloth from his mouth, and said coldly, "Do you still want to lie now?" ”
