Li Qinzai looked at Wang Shifu with pity, he actually admired this person very much.

Wang Shifu, who was heard by the Baiqi Division, was a good official with a clean and honest reputation and kindness to the people, and he did a lot of practical things for the people in office.

However, after all, people have two sides, and Li Qinzai had doubts about him when he first arrived in Bingzhou, and this suspicion has never been dispelled.

"Don't drive the king, call out the people behind you, I can save your life." Li Qinzai stared at him and said.

Wang Shifu smiled bitterly: "I can't recruit, I ...... There is a bitterness. ”

Li Qinzai smiled: "The bitterness is ...... Taiyuan Wang's? ”

Wang Shifu was surprised: "You, how do you ......"

Li Qinzai said slowly: "I checked you, you were born in the Taiyuan Wang family, and later I heard that the elders broke up you and your beloved woman, so you have cut off contact with the Taiyuan Wang family since then, heh, the story is quite bloody, but I don't believe it." ”

"In this era, no one can completely cut off contact with the family, that is the mark on the body from birth, not to mention, Bingzhou is the ancestral source of the Taiyuan Wang family, and you are an official in Bingzhou, if you say that you completely cut off contacts, I really can't believe it......"

Wang Shifu said bitterly: "Li Tingshi doubts me because of this? ”

"Not only that, but the Hundred Horsemen heard that you are flawless as an official, and you are simply a contemporary saint, and I, the last thing I believe in my life is a saint, if there is really a saint in the world, then he must be a hypocrite, and he must have done evil things."

Wang Shifu was silent for a long time, lowered his head and said, "I took ......"

Li Qinzai sighed: "You are from a gate valve, how can you bear to harm the people? The people are bitter enough, you don't lack food and clothing, there are more ways to make money, why don't you let the people take a breath in the year of the catastrophe? Don't drive, king, if I forgive you easily, I am sorry for the people who are suffering. ”

Wang Shifu said in a low voice: "I am willing to confess my guilt and surrender to the law." ”

Li Qinzai waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to take Wang Shifu down and put him in prison.

Wang Shifu was dejected and was escorted down, and Liu Asi said with a look of admiration: "The fifth young man is clever, and he really calculated that someone burned the official warehouse, and even suspected Wang Shifu early on, which is really clever." ”

Li Qinzai is not happy, the Tang Dynasty in this period is good, there are not so many pickled things in the court, and the people are also simple and flawless, but no dynasty is perfect, there are always so many people who hold power to exploit the people for personal gain.

And the state is like this, and other cities may not be absent.

…………

When he returned to the Assassin's Mansion, it was almost dawn, and Li Qinzai simply sat in front of the hall and drank alone.

He seems to be waiting for someone.

Early in the morning, the officers of the Assassin's Mansion carefully bypassed the central hall and began to clean the courtyard.

At the end of the day, a tribal hurried to report that Mrs. Korea asked to see her.

Li Qinzai smiled, he would be really sleepy if he waited any longer, but fortunately, the person who should have come has finally come.

Mrs. Han was carried in a soft sedan chair, her face was bloodless, her clothes were disheveled, and she seemed to have lightly applied fat powder before going out, and the woman would not let down her face at any time.

Li Qinzai looked at her carefully, Mrs. Han was seriously injured, her body was wrapped in strips of cloth in many places, and her ribs were wrapped like a zongzi, so she could only lie weakly on the soft sedan chair, frowning and moaning from time to time.

Li Qinzai stepped forward, ordered someone to put her down carefully, and then retreated from the people in the hall, and ordered the troops to patrol around and not let people approach.

The two people in the hall sat and lay down, looking at each other for a long time.

Mrs. Han sighed sadly and said: "After all, I still didn't escape, I originally planned to go back to Chang'an after the incident, but I didn't dare, I didn't expect that someone in Bingzhou had already made a killing move." ”

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "If Madame recites Buddhist scriptures more, she should know that everything in the world has cause and effect, and there must be effect." ”

Mrs. Han sighed: "Yes, this is probably my retribution." Since my sister was canonized as the queen, the samurai family has become prosperous, and we have gradually become arrogant, thinking back on what we have done in the past few years, it is really ...... There is no redemption for a hundred deaths. ”

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I don't care about Madame's behavior in the past few years, I only care about what Madame has done in Bingzhou." ”

Mrs. Han avoided answering, looked directly into his eyes and said slowly: "Li Tingshi, I just want to get a truth, before you went to the state, did my sister have a secret order to let you kill me?" ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Why is this my sister? Madame was overwhelmed. ”

Mrs. Han did not relent: "Please also ask Li Tingshi to speak up." ”

Li Qinzai was silent.

After a long time, Mrs. Han smiled sadly.

Although she didn't wait for an answer, Li Qinzai's expression had already given her an answer.

"It's me who deserves to die, I shouldn't be with the Son of Heaven...... I've been so forgetful in the past few years. Mrs. Han muttered tearfully.

Wiping her tears, Mrs. Han said proudly: "Li Tingshi, I won't embarrass you, since you have been ordered by the queen, please do it." ”

Li Qinzai didn't move, but poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, let out a long breath, and said: "Madame's life and death are in your own hands, whether you live or die, it depends on what you have done in Bingzhou, is Madam willing to talk about it?" ”

Mrs. Han struggled to get up, endured the severe pain in her body, gritted her teeth and knelt down in front of Li Qinzai, and said slowly: "Li Tingshi, I have a report of the situation, and the grain merchants in the state have raised the price of grain, I have participated, but I am not the mastermind, there are many masterminds, all of them are powerful people, do Li Tingshi dare to listen?" ”

Li Qinzai smiled: "You dare to speak, of course I dare to listen." ”

Mrs. Han's eyebrows were lowered and her expression was indifferent, and the once seductive cherry mouth was now flipped up and down, and a long list of names came out of her mouth.

After a long time, Mrs. Han finally finished speaking, and then looked at Li Qinzai provocatively, as if asking him with her eyes, so many powerful people, do you dare to ask?

Li Qinzai's heartbeat accelerated sharply after hearing this, but he still wanted to keep smiling.

This list really frightened him.

It involves not only the merger of states, but more than 20 cities in the entire Hedong Province.

The city assassins, garrison generals, family lords, and even the squires of the Chang'an court, Zuo Cheng, Siqing and so on.

It's an incredibly secret and complex web.

At this moment today, Lee Chin-jae and Mrs. Han finally tore open this net.

"Li Tingshi, I know it's all said, I don't know if Li Tingshi dares to do it?" Mrs. Korea's face was pale, and she still didn't forget to cut her hair and sideburns.

Li Qinzai smiled: "It's still that sentence, if you dare to say it, I will dare to do it." ”

Mrs. Han's eyelids drooped: "The concubine will wait and see." ”

"Listen to what Mrs. said, although you are involved in this case, fortunately it is not deep, at best, you invested money to earn some dividends, and did not participate in the planning and execution, plus you have made a meritorious disclosure, and the death penalty can be avoided." Li Qinzai said slowly.

Mrs. Han's eyes widened in disbelief and she said in a daze, "You...... Don't kill me? ”

"Sin does not lead to death, and it cannot be done." Li Qinzai smiled.

"But, the Queen's secret order ......"

Li Qinzai rubbed his face and said: "It's really a trouble, but it's not a big trouble, besides, I forgive you for your death, if the queen still has killing intent, and someone else kills you, you still can't escape death." ”

Mrs. Korea's face became paler.

Li Qinzai was silent for a long time, and said, "Dare to ask Madame, is the old lady of your mansion also in the state?" ”

Mrs. Han was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously nodded: "Mother naturally cares in my house." ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "The old lady is the bell solver, Madame might as well hurry up and invite the old lady to Chang'an, you sincerely admit your mistakes, the old lady knows the affection of brothers and sisters, I heard that the queen is filial piety, maybe you can save your life." ”

Mrs. Han suddenly thanked him gratefully.

Li Qinzai helped her up with a smile.

As for Li Zhi's words before he took office, he said that he wanted to save her life, but Li Qinzai didn't say a word in front of her.

If she says it, I'm afraid it will give her something to rely on, and when she returns to Chang'an, she will have a conflict with the Empress Wu, and with the cold and hard heart of the Empress Wu, the gods can't save Mrs. Han.

As for whether Mrs. Han and Li Zhi will continue to be reluctant in the future, or whether they will be cut off from now on, that is a secret matter of the palace, Li Qinzai is not interested in knowing, let alone mixing casually.

The fate of the tribe carried Mrs. Han away and sent a team of people to protect her.

After Mrs. Han left, Li Qinzai stood alone in the hall and pondered for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Ah Si, gather the soldiers of the Ningshuo Governor's Mansion and take people!" ”

Half an hour later, the city was in turmoil.

A team of soldiers came out with halberds, broke into many official eunuchs and family portals in the city, and took the prisoners away without saying a word.

The whole city shook, and the wailing was far away.
