Half a month has passed, and Zhou Bei's wound has almost healed, but the shoulder blade fracture has not fully grown, and his left arm has not yet been able to exert force.

He was also transferred from the hospital to a cell in Xuezhou County, where he was locked up with Xu Gongcheng and Hou Guiqiang.

Although there is no freedom, the conditions are not bad, the cell is clean and refreshing, there is a ceiling fan, and there is a separate bathroom.

This is not only because Zhou Duo paid for it, but also because as the investigation deepened, the Criminal Department found more strange things.

Because Zhu Liqing is not at home, the trap set in a hurry is not clever.

First of all, although the gun that shot Zhu Liqing had Zhou Bei's fingerprints, the gun was not in Zhou Bei's name.

At the scene, the other gun was under Zhou Bei's name, and it was recorded in the military department.

On the two guns, the guns under Zhou Bei's name collected more than 20 complete fingerprints and more than 50 fingerprint imprints of Zhou Bei.

On the gun that shot Zhu Liqing, a total of twelve fingerprints were collected from him, and more importantly, there were no fingerprints of Zhou Bei on the trigger and bolt.

Secondly, almost all of the bullet casings left at the scene were in one area, and Zhou Bei's fingerprints were not collected on the bullet casings.

There are no fingerprints of Zhou Bei on the bullet casing, how did these bullets fit in?

If it is a night attack, how can it be possible to stand still and shoot, waiting for the opponent to shoot back and then get shot?

Zhou Bei was able to kill nine bandits at the age of sixteen, and he took the initiative to attack, how could he fire seven shots and only hit Zhu Liqing alone?

Moreover, the bullet that shot Zhou Bei was fired within ten meters, which was too close.

At such a close distance, it's almost face-to-face!

At such a close distance, it was really a secret attack, and with Zhou Bei's ability, Zhu Liqing and the three of them had no ability to fight back at all.

The testimony of both sides is different, and logically, the testimony of Zhou Bei and the three of them is more in line with the truth.

But Zhu Liqing almost died, and no one dared to overturn the case at will.

He is the prince of the prince's mansion, he is delicate and expensive, and now he is almost dead, who dares to say that he beat it himself?

In the newspapers, all the evidence published was unfavorable to Zhou Bei, and no one mentioned the real evidence or loopholes at all.

The newspaper of Xuezhou County, Zhu Lihua definitely played a big role in this.

Zhou Bei was detained in a prison and could not see outsiders, so he could only wait for the trial to be held after the evidence was collected.

The reason why it can be dragged is that Xu Gongzhi plays a role in it.

Because the investigation was originally led by the Criminal Department, he happened to be the detective of the Criminal Department in Trois-Rivières, and the investigation could not avoid him.

It's just that he has no right to speak, and he was suppressed by Zhu Lihua, the chief county lord who has the right to speak.

If it weren't for the telegram from the Criminal Department of Tianfu, Zhu Lihua would have been prepared to forcibly push Dali Temple for trial on the grounds that the clan was attacked, and the matter was very important.

Ying Tianfu's telegram was sent on the ninth day after the incident, stating that there were too many suspicious points in the course of the case and that careful and meticulous investigation was needed.

The local criminal department, Dali Temple, can not listen to Xuezhou County, Xue Wangfu, because they belong to different systems.

Ying Tianfu's Criminal Department is the headquarters, and any order must be treated with caution.

At this time, Zhu Lihua suspected that Xu Gongzhi had found a relationship with Zhou Duo and went straight to heaven, and Xu Gongzhi and Zhou Duo were still surprised, they had no way to do this at all!

With the arrival of this telegram, the Xuezhou County branch of Jinyiwei also received a telegram the next day.

The important minister of the country, Li Ji, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, will patrol Dongzhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven as a messenger. And the first stop was Xuezhou County, where the sect disciples were attacked.

This news was officially issued the next day, and then all parties in Xuezhou County immediately became active and prepared to welcome the minister.

The commander of Jinyiwei was originally a third-rank, but after the separation of powers, he was promoted to a second-rank by Emperor Gaozu.

Not only the commander of Jinyiwei, but even Dali Siqing was also mentioned as a second grade, on the same level as the chief officials of other ministries and commissions.

And the commander of Jinyiwei makes this second grade more powerful than the Shangshu of other ministries.

For example, the Ministry of Officials can only manage the people under the Ministry of Officials, and the other systems, which also belong to the Ministry of Rites of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Jiupin Minor Officials of the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials, cannot be managed.

As for the officials of the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Defense, and the Parliament, they will not care if it is not a system.

But Jinyiwei is different, they specifically target officials, they are the Son of Heaven Eagle Dog, no matter what official, as long as there is evidence, they can be directly detained and investigated.

In terms of power, the commander of Jinyiwei is even greater than the prime minister of Yipin.

Because the Prime Minister can only manage the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and cannot control any officials of the Ministry of Law, Parliament, or the Ministry of Defence.

And this time, Li Ji, the commander, not only came to Xuezhou, but also had the identity of a minister, and all parties did not dare to attach importance to it.

There are also many kinds of ministers, the lowest level has the wind collection envoy without any power, and there are also patrol envoys, etc., different levels have different powers.

However, when the important ministers of the country are given the status of ministers, they are often given a seal that symbolizes the imperial power.

And at this time, Zhu Lihua, who was originally in control of everything, also felt that something was wrong.

The Ming Dynasty had strict regulations on the plundering of the legitimate wealth of the common people by high-ranking officials and nobles, whether it was land or floating wealth.

For example, how many grades of officials and nobles can own as much land, and if there is one more acre, they will be dismissed directly.

Since the establishment of the bank, everyone's money can only be deposited in the bank, and cannot be transferred across borders, and the entry and exit of large accounts are supervised by the bank and the tax authority at the same time.

Just like Zhou Bei made a profit of more than 400,000 yuan from patents, and there will be authorization fees collected every year in the future, and these money will be strictly protected after paying taxes.

Whether it is an outsider or the Zhou family, it cannot be plundered.

Although the clan power of the Ming Dynasty is huge, the law of the country stipulates that the individual profit family can only be made at most once, and it cannot exceed ten percent.

The annuity paid to the family cannot exceed 10% of the annual income.

Even charitable donations are not casual donations, and at least three different departments of the Charity Federation need to be jointly approved before they can be accepted.

As for donating money to build roads, donating money to help students, etc., they are not allowed in Daming.

Because the Ming Dynasty has a charity federation, except for the charity federation controlled by the royal family, no one can do good deeds and invite names.

Zhu Lihua wanted to push Zhou Bei into a desperate situation, this wealth was too huge and could only be obtained through cumbersome legal procedures.

Now that it has not been implemented, the case has been noticed by the above, which has given her a shadow.

But at this time, she didn't know that Li Ji's arrival was mainly for Zhou Bei.

Otherwise, she would have regretted what she had done now.

Zhou Bei's existence and ability are now only known to four people.

Zhou Bei, who was originally arraigned every day, no one paid attention to Li Ji because he was coming.

He, Xu Gongcheng, and Hou Guiqiang were locked up together, and they only had a deck of playing cards every day, and they were bored.

Also in Xuezhou County, Yu Youwei fell into a painful confusion because of Zhou Bei's imprisonment.

Growing up under the protection of her family, she simply faced a predicament and didn't know how to deal with it.

And in this process, she was arranged by Zhu Lihua to take care of Zhu Liqing.

Zhu Lihua's excuse is that if she takes care of Zhu Liqing now, she can make Zhu Liqing less determined to hold Zhou Bei responsible.

Although Zhou Bei had already pointed out Zhu Lihua's thoughts, she did not take Zhou Bei's words to heart when she had the chance to win.

Zhu Liqing was recuperating from his wounds in Xue Wangfu, and his wound was on the lower side of his left chest, which just avoided the heart, lungs, and liver, and was located in the empty space of the chest cavity.

So at the beginning, he seemed to be seriously injured, but it was all flesh and skin injuries, except that he couldn't move casually, and he recovered faster than Zhou Bei.

After less than ten days in the hospital, the only thing left for the wound to recover was to change the dressing, and he was taken to Xue Wangfu for recuperation.

It was at this time that Yu Youwei was sent to her parents' house by Zhu Lihua.

From Sanhe Mansion to Xuezhou County, and into the palace of the Gaomen Compound, Yu Youwei is like a bird in a cage.

Although this is her grandfather's home, the palace system is strict, and there is only one Wei Xiu'er who is younger than her, and she needs to get permission from the princess if she wants to go out.

Of course, Zhu Liqing doesn't need her to take care of her, but her role is to accompany Zhu Liqing to recuperate, and every morning and afternoon, she has to read the newspaper and read to him.

The two of them listen to the radio together, or familiarize themselves with their homework.

Both of them were sixteen years old, and they were both in their first year of high school.

Yu Youwei studied at the Sanhe Mansion Senior Girls' High School, while Zhu Liqing, as the prince's concubine, studied at the Yingtianfu Royal Academy.

The Royal Academy is the most powerful school in the Ming Dynasty, with everything from kindergarten to high school, and all students are members of the royal family and clan.

In the process of accompanying Zhu Liqing to recuperate, Yu Youwei also gradually discovered many advantages of Zhu Liqing.

They are in the same grade, and the textbooks they study are similar, and Zhu Liqing's grades are better than hers, and the two have many common languages and can study together.

Zhou Bei has always been very mature, Yu Youwei doesn't have to think about anything in front of him, everything is arranged in all aspects.

But in front of Zhu Liqing, who is the same age, Yu Youwei can also find the value of existence in many aspects and highlight her existence.

Although he reluctantly came to take care of Zhu Liqing at the beginning, the purpose was for Zhou Bei.

With the accumulation of time, Yu Youwei can also discover Zhu Liqing's highlights.

She is a sixteen-year-old girl who has not been in contact with many men since she was a child, and between Zhu Liqing's intentional flattery and sweet words, she was unconsciously attracted a little.

At least, she doesn't hate Zhu Liqing now.

was deliberately restricted from going out in the palace, and Yu Youwei could only live in this world.

She misses Zhou Bei, but as time goes by, she still misses Zhou Bei, but she doesn't think about it so much.

She didn't know how to break through the shackles laid by her relatives, and she didn't even dare to break through, these were not within her acceptability.

She could only learn about the development of the case from the radio, the newspapers, and the mouths of relatives.

She was still worried about Zhou Bei, but she was gradually assimilated in the environment arranged by her relatives.

Occasionally, she would think of the sweetness with Zhou Bei, but she was very afraid of missing it.

It was at this time that the first trial of the case was ushered in.
