One million taels, this amount is huge, a small Yanzhou Mansion cannot swallow it, there must be other accomplices. The emperor asked Yan Dui to investigate, and some people were afraid of finding out about themselves, so they used this dead mouse to warn him not to dig too deep into this matter.

"Just a dead rat trying to scare me, am I so cowardly in their eyes?" Yan Du sneered after listening to Liu Yunxiang's analysis.

Liu Yunxiang took a sip of tea, and said: "But this dead mouse was put in the snack box of the two children, and they knew that you were not easy to deal with, so they stabbed your weakness." ”

When Yan Duan heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning.

He is indeed not afraid of anything, but he has a wife and children, so he has to have some scruples.

"These days, we will be careful, you don't have to worry, it's just the Yanzhou Futai corruption case, what new discoveries do you have?"

"Nope." Yan Duan spread his hands, "The dossier that Qin Feishi and the fourth child sorted out is very complete, I also saw that Yang Xun when I went to the prison, a weak scholar, a strange person, and he also recited poems and paintings in the prison." When asked if he had any grievances and whether he pleaded guilty or not, he confessed and was very sincere. But when asked where the million went, he pointed to it and refused to say a word. ”

"To deal with this kind of prisoner, the criminal department shouldn't be soft, right?"

"Hundreds of sets of torture tools have been used, and he is going to die."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "Maybe someone threatened him with his family and didn't let him confess his accomplices." ”

Yan Du shook his head, "His parents, wife and children are dead, and he is alone. ”

"Huh?"

"He has no weakness, so the officials have no way to deal with him."

"Could he save his life without saying anything?" This is the only reason Liu Yunxiang can think of.

"No, the time limit given to me by the emperor is more than one month before he is executed, but whether it can be found out or not, he will be sent to the execution ground at that time."

Yan Du shrugged his shoulders when he said this, "So although this case is in my hands, it doesn't matter how to investigate, whether it is tight or slow, or even whether it is investigated or not." ”

Liu Yunxiang thought about it, others can't find out, and he can't find out, it's useless, but others can't find out, but he finds out something, I'm afraid that he will only make trouble for himself.

"And what are you busy with these days?"

Yan Du exhaled, "Ming'er will wait for noon to warm up, you and I will go out of the city." ”

In the afternoon of the next day, Liu Yunxiang followed Yan Dui out. In the cold winter, even in the afternoon, the wind is cold. Yan Du wrapped Liu Yunxiang in a cloak, and then carried her into the carriage.

On the way, Yan Dui lowered his eyes and didn't speak, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood. Liu Yunxiang didn't ask much, leaned on his arms, and was stunned after a while as the carriage bumped.

I don't know how long I sat there, Yan Du called her softly, "Yunxiang, it's here." ”

Liu Yunxiang opened his eyes in a daze, unable to hug Yan Dui behind him, and his low laughter came from his ears. Liu Yunxiang sobered up a lot, and then saw that he was sticking to him like this, hugging him affectionately, and couldn't help blushing.

Yan Twilight bowed her head and kissed her, then straightened her cloak and carried her out of the carriage.

"Seventh, what are you asking us to do here?"

Hearing Zhou Lihuai's voice, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly patted Yan Du and asked him to put her down.

It wasn't until she was on her feet that she found them on the mountain, for it was winter, and the forest was bare and bleak. And Zhou Lihuai was just a few steps away, and he seemed to be accustomed to the intimacy of the two, and he did not avoid it. To Liu Yunxiang's surprise, there was still a person standing behind Zhou Lihuai, Zhu Qingjia.

Zhu Qingjia is Shangguan Xu's righteous son, Xingyi, born as a military general, and had a very good relationship with Yan Dui before, but after Yan Dui broke up with Shangguan Xu, he stood on Shangguan Xu's side.

Before the Nanzhou Rebellion, Zhu Qingjia was injured in the leg, and his official position is still there, but now he is at home. He was dressed in a blue robe, with a black cloak on the outside, his eyelids were puffy, his beard was unkempt, and he looked depressed.

"This barren mountain and wilderness, in case you encounter a bear or something." Zhou Lihuai said and picked up a wooden stick from the ground.

Yan Du snorted, "If you really run into a bear, I'll throw you to it." ”

"Seventh, it's good that I'm your fifth brother, and I always secretly gave you candy to eat when I was a child."

"He ended up eating his teeth." Zhu Qingjia suddenly added.

Zhou Lihuai hehe, "Who let him always eat secretly in the bed at night, and he was afraid that his father-in-law would find out, so he didn't dare to rinse his mouth, he would definitely have bad teeth." ”

"He had a broken tooth, and you were beaten."

"Hey, who made me my brother."

Speaking of when I was a child, the atmosphere between the three of them was much more relaxed.

Zhu Qingjia looked at Yan Dui, frowned, and then sighed abruptly, "Xiao Qi back then is now the king of Zhenbei, and he is one heaven and one earth with us." I just don't know why His Highness asked us to come here? ”

Yan Du looked at Zhu Qingjia and said lightly: "Let's go up the mountain first." ”

Zhu Qingjia didn't ask much, turned around and walked up the mountain, but his legs were inconvenient and he walked with a limp. Seeing this, Zhou Lihuai sighed slightly, and then ran forward to help him.

"I don't need it."

"The road up the mountain is steep ......"

"Get out!"

Zhou Lihuai had no choice but to follow Zhu Qingjia so that he could support him in time when he needed it.

"I heard my sister-in-law say that you drag this sick leg to exercise every day, and you run more than ten miles as soon as you run, I didn't tell you, you must keep it, raise it slowly, raise it quietly, and don't be in a hurry."

"It's been half a year since I raised it, and it's not good at all!"

"That also has to be raised, you can exercise, but in moderation."

"Alright, long-winded."

Watching the two walk away, Liu Yunxiang walked up the mountain with Yan Dusk in his arms. It snowed a few days ago, and there was still residual snow on the road, so it was a little slippery, and the two of them walked very slowly for fear that Liu Yunxiang would pull the wound.

When they were halfway up the mountain, there was a flat land there, and Liu Yunxiang saw that Zhu Qingjia and Zhou Lihuai had stopped there. She took a few steps forward, looked closer, and saw that there were three graves in front of them.

She turned her head to look at Yan Dui, and saw that his expression was solemn, and after thinking about it again, she figured it out. She took a few steps faster, walked to the grave, and saw the grave of Mu Hibiscus at a glance, next to Lin Jinxiao, and then Wei Shuyi over there.

Wei Shuyi killed the Third Highness, committed suicide in prison, and threw his body directly into the mass grave. She didn't expect Yan Dui to collect his body and bury it here.

"Lin tonight is...... Beggar? Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Yes, he does two, we only know that his name is Lin Jinxiao, and he was also a famous queen, carrying a deep hatred, being saved by his father-in-law, and doing things for his father-in-law. He and the fourth child were sent out by their stepfather since they were young and did not grow up with us. Zhu Qingjia said.

Yan Du looked at the tombstone and said, "He has a full head of flowers, we call him an old beggar, but he is not very old." ”

"You brought their bones back from North Gold." Liu Yunxiang turned his head to look at Yan Dui.

"If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died there." Yan Du looked at the graves of the beggar and the hibiscus, and he said in a deep voice: "You rest in peace, you don't have to wait too long, I will unscrew Qin Feishi down to pay tribute to you." ”
