Chapter 373: Rush to reinforcements
Zhou Mi, Dali Siqing, the only existence in the court today that can confront Liu Xinyan, Shangshu Ling.
But no matter how the two fought in the court, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew that Emperor Yaozong trusted them the most.
And the two who are in the whirlpool of power understand this, and at the same time, they also know that Emperor Yaozong needs the two to check and balance each other.
Therefore, the two of them in the court are on the same page, and they do not get along with each other in private.
However, outsiders only know that the two were close friends, but they don't know that the two have not forgotten the oath they made back then.
"Gou Fugui, don't forget each other."
At this time, Zhou Mi was sitting in the low room and had a headache.
Back then, "cutting off the robe and breaking the righteousness" was not because the two had different ideals and beliefs and parted ways.
On the contrary, it was after experiencing the "Autumn Hunting Bureau" that year that the two firmly decided to "separate for the time being and see each other at the top".
Since then, both of them have changed.
Liu Xinyan, who was once a bookseller, has become less pedantic.
Zhou Mi has a deeper understanding of this world: the rules at the bottom of this world seem to be more fragile than he thinks, and it only takes a thought from the high-ranking person to change it.
This made Zhou Mi, the enforcer of Dali Temple and the guardian of the rules, almost collapse his faith.
But fortunately, Zhou Mi survived and got to where he is today.
But Zhou Mi has a headache, and there seems to be more and more contacts between him and Liu Xinyan recently.
First of all, the Kaicheng District and County Government begged him because of the "disappearance case", but within a few days, Li Dong directly sent someone to pass on the message to him.
This made Zhou Mi a little confused.
Isn't Liu Xinyan afraid of "that one" finding out?
If the two of them let others grasp the handle in this way, they will fall out of favor at least and be liquidated at worst.
Could Liu Xinyan be so careless? Or is he going to make a move?
But Zhou Mi couldn't understand where Liu Xinyan's confidence came from, no matter how he thought about it.
Zhou Mi shook his head, thinking back that Liu Xinyan had taken every step carefully since the Autumn Hunting Bureau, and it was rare to be so reckless as recently.
If you want to say that Liu Xinyan's only "brave husband" moment, it has to be in the autumn hunting game.
But at that time, there was that "Wangcai Lord", could it be that he came back again?
Zhou Mi shook his head with a sneer, denying the unrealistic idea in his heart.
It was at this time that the bearded man asked to see him.
"My lord, this is the interrogation record of the three people who Chen Tian escorted back."
The bearded man handed the three volumes of the dossier to the careful table.
Zhou Mi picked up one of them and opened it.
"Indeed, as Chen Tian said, there are no useful clues......
Zhou Mi briefly flipped through it for a moment and thought to himself.
The bearded man saw that Zhou Mi was a little interested in putting down the first file, so he directly reported the general content of the file to Zhou Mi.
"These three people cooperated during the interrogation, but there were no useful clues, and the person was already dead when they arrived, and the three of them confessed the same thing, and they all matched."
Zhou Mi nodded, and his mind was already thinking about how this case should end.
The bearded man recalled the three files, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said with a sneer: "But the interesting thing is that the confessions of two of them are completely consistent, but the last person said a lot, described the scene a lot, and analyzed the case in a straightforward manner, haha...... Those who don't know think he witnessed the case. But the last question, guess what, he guessed too."
As he spoke, the bearded man picked out one of the three and handed it to Zhou Mi, who took it, but he was not too interested.
After all, although he didn't go to the scene of this case, he already basically knew what the case had happened.
The "Tang Huai'an Case" has impressed him so far after the verdict of Lord Wangcai.
No matter how much this person speculates, he will definitely not be able to catch up......
Wait a minute......
Zhou Mi's eyes widened, and his hands clenched hard
Tight dossier.
"Ulan", "dipterocarp", ......
A few familiar words on the dossier deeply stimulated the nerves of the thoughtful body.
"Stop!"
The bearded man, who was about to leave the low house, was suddenly stopped by Zhou Mi, and he was surprised to find that the adult who had always been strategic, his eyes were shocked to the point of loss at this time.
"Where's this man?"
The bearded man, who saw an adult so out of shape for the first time, was also stunned, and it wasn't until he saw the adult's anxious and terrifying eyes that he woke up from a brief loss of consciousness. Look at the book
"Your Excellency...... Who do you mean this confession?"
Zhou Mi nodded impatiently.
Although the bearded man didn't understand why the adult was in such a hurry, it didn't prevent him from understanding the importance of this person.
The bearded man stepped forward and glanced at the file in Zhou Mi's hand, then took a step back and said, "Please wait a minute, boss, I will bring this person up immediately......
It's just that the bearded man still underestimated how much Zhou Mi attached importance to this person.
"Wait, I'll go with you to see him."
The bearded man noticed something unusual again, and then he was shocked to find that after the adult got up, he first tidied up his official uniform, put on his official hat solemnly, and then took a deep breath.
It was clearly the appearance of going to meet important people.
However, with today's Zhou Mi identity, what kind of noble talent deserves to be taken so seriously.
Even in the eyes of the bearded man, this is no longer as simple as seriousness, but solemnity.
The bearded man didn't dare to think about it anymore, but he was glad in his heart that he was quite respectful when interrogating this person, and he didn't use any extraordinary means.
The bearded man was distracted thinking about these things in his heart, but he didn't dare to slow down the movements of his feet. Because he could hear the anxiety in his meticulous footsteps as he led the way ahead, he could no longer have any idea of the identity of this person.
The person who can make adults pay so much attention is no longer something that his level can touch. The smartest thing to do now is to lead the way, and then forget what you see and hear today, or rot in your stomach forever.
The distance from the low room to the interrogation room on the first floor is not long, but for the bearded man, he has undergone a spiritual transformation, and even the action of opening the door has become cautious after arriving at the place.
The iron door made a faint "creaking" sound, trying to restrain its own noise, as if it was afraid of disturbing the interrogation room.
When had the "Iron Gate" been so cautious, but at this moment it felt that the "squeak" sound that had once been full of intimidation was so harsh and out of place.
There was no bench in the interrogation room, so the eldest grandson sat on the ground and closed his eyes to recuperate, and only slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the door opening.
It wasn't until he saw the iron door open and appeared that he stood up with a smile in his eyes.
Zhou Mi didn't rush into the interrogation room, and his previous anxiety became apprehensive when he arrived in the interrogation room, and he wasn't sure if this person was the person he was expecting.
But after the iron door opened, the moment Zhou Mi saw the other party open his eyes, he was basically sure that this person was "him".
And the other party's words completely dispelled Zhou Mi's doubts.
"I didn't expect you to take me to the first floor, and I wanted to go back downstairs to have a look......
The bearded man sighed in his heart when he heard this, and at this moment he was more than a little more worried than Zhou Mi.
He doesn't know whether the other party is a god or a demon, but he only knows that he is an important person that everyone should pay attention to.
If the other party mentions a few words about his own fault at this time, it will be a catastrophe for him.
And the other party's sentence made the bearded man almost think that the other party was dissatisfied with the treatment of the "first-floor interrogation". However, the other party's next sentence "I want to go back downstairs to see" made the bearded man put his hanging heart back in his stomach.
At the same time, the bearded man was also a little surprised, the other party had actually been downstairs, could it be some kind of vicious criminal? Ever been interrogated downstairs?
However, before the bearded man's thoughts were clear, he was tapped on the shoulder, meaning to let him avoid it.
The bearded man took the order, slowly closed the iron door, and exited the interrogation room.
But just as the iron door was about to close, the bearded man dared to look through the crack in the door.
Then he saw a jaw-dropping scene......
The dignified Dali Siqing actually saluted respectfully to the people in the interrogation room!
The bearded man hurriedly covered his open mouth, then covered his eyes and closed the iron door.
"I didn't see it, I didn't see it......
The bearded man muttered to himself in distraction as he quickly exited the first floor.
The eldest grandson looked at Zhou Mi, who was dressed in a blue python robe, and was happy for it, but also sighed in his heart about the wonder of fate.
The three of them in the dream were originally marginal figures who were excluded from the various factions in the court, and it is estimated that even they themselves did not expect that they would have the status and power they have today many years later.
But only they understand that the turning point of fate began with that year and meeting that person.
And that person is the eldest grandson in front of him.
That's why Zhou Mihui attaches so much importance to it.
The eldest grandson stepped forward to help him up, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was no longer young, there was a lot more anger and self-esteem and a little inevitable twilight in his eyes, but what pleased the eldest grandson was that it still vaguely flashed with the enthusiasm of the year.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, we would meet again in such a scene......
The eldest grandson said with a smile.
Zhou Mi shook his head and replied, "It's been many years since I think about it, but seeing you still so young, I feel like everything was a dream last night."
The eldest grandson smiled slightly, not explaining how unreasonable many of them were.
Because even he didn't figure out why all this happened now, but there were some vague speculations in his mind.
did not continue to reminisce, the eldest grandson went straight to the topic.
If Chen Tian could not understand many details of the "Tang Huai'an case" back then, then Zhou Mi grasped the whole picture of the case.
And the "Tang Huai'an case" involved a wide range of cases back then, and similar cases happened again, and Zhou Mi would not even have such sensitivity.
But the eldest grandson had been waiting for a day, and he didn't find any special actions in Dali Temple, and it wasn't even Chen Tian who interrogated him.
This made the eldest grandson a little puzzled, so the eldest grandson mentioned those keywords in his confession to attract careful attention.
"This 'contestant's murder case' is exactly the same as the 'Tang Huai'an case' back then, Chen Tian should have found out, can he truthfully report it to you?"
The eldest grandson did not directly question why Zhou Mi "pretended to be deaf and dumb" about the case, but adopted a relatively tactful approach.
On the way here, he guessed that the eldest grandson would "torture" himself about this matter, and he was also having a headache because of this matter before seeing the eldest grandson's confession.
And seeing the eldest grandson at this moment, he seems to see hope again.
"My lord, don't be surprised, there may be more complicated circumstances behind this case......
As he spoke, Zhou Mi took out two jade slips from his sleeves and handed them to the eldest grandson with both hands.
"Please take a look at these two pieces of information."
The eldest grandson had doubts in his eyes, but he did not hesitate to take the jade slip in his hand.
"The first piece of information was sent by Li Dong, which recorded the 'missing person case' that he discovered during his inspection in Kaicheng District during this time, and some of the details were not in the file handed over by the Kaicheng District and County Government."
The eldest grandson browsed the jade slip while listening to the careful narration, but the content in the jade slip made the eldest grandson couldn't help frowning.
"There are so many people missing...... The county government is unaware? I don't believe it!"
Zhou Mi nodded.
The eldest grandson then opened the second jade slip in his hand.
"Is it Chen Tian?"
The eldest grandson asked in some surprise.
Zhou Mi nodded, his expression a little solemn.
"This is through our secret line, which is uneven known to the people in the temple and is usually only activated in times of crisis
……」
"I've never used ...... in so many years."
Zhou Mi added.
The eldest grandson heard the unusualness, and then looked at the jade slip in his hand.
"The disappearance case is related to the player's case, so come for reinforcements!"
The eldest grandson looked at Zhou Mi inquiringly.
Although this clue alone is enough to make the eldest grandson pay attention to the disappearance case in Kaicheng District, the eldest grandson also wants to know more information about the two.
However, Zhou Mi didn't know much more.
Zhou Mi shook his head and said, "Specifically, Chen Tian didn't explain. But he is now in the Kaicheng District and County Office, and the situation is ...... It's not good."
"Huh?"
"Li Dong sent someone to deliver the message this morning, Chen Tian was injured last night and rushed back to the Kaicheng District and County Office, and he was still in a coma when the messenger arrived......
Without waiting for Zhou Mi to finish speaking, the eldest grandson interrupted him without the slightest hesitation.
"Prepare the car, I'll rush to the Kaicheng District now!"
