Only the eighth king, Chitose Zhao Defang, left Master Bao behind, because the relationship between the two is very good, especially the same political opinions, it is not surprising that they all know this!

The two monarchs and ministers came to the East Dynasty room, and the eighth king Chitose took Lord Bao's hand, "Lord Bao heard that this matter is also involved in Bai Yunrui?" If you need anything, you have to speak."

Master Bao frowned when he heard this: "Back to Chitose, now it is certain that it has nothing to do with Bai Yunrui, someone wants to frame the blame!" ”

"That's good, Master Bao, you can see it very clearly, I just played a book, which is essentially to protect you and Bai Yunrui;

In the future, if the investigation comes out to be really Bai Yunrui, my reputation will be ruined, therefore, I am very concerned about this matter, and I hope that Lord Bao will investigate it as soon as possible! ”

Just now at the court meeting, someone deliberately found fault, saying that Bai Yunrui was a thief and shouted to catch a thief! The eighth king, Zhao Defang, is equivalent to a platform for Bai Yunrui and Lord Bao!

"Chitose rest assured, the minister will do his best."

"Good! Don't forget, send someone to deliver me a letter anytime and anywhere, otherwise I won't even be able to sleep. ”

"I remember." After the eight kings finished speaking, they drove back to Anqing Palace

Emperor Renzong also secretly met Bai Yunrui once and asked what happened, and Bai Yunrui originally said that it was because he killed Zhang Hua.

Emperor Renzong asked with a serious face: "Is it possible that the mastermind behind the scenes is targeting you!" Even against Lonely! Bai Yunrui thought about it and felt that it might not be this reason for the time being. Emperor Renzong instructed Bai Yunrui to protect himself!

Everyone also listened to Master Bao talk about the importance of the matter, and returned to the school office, where Bai Yunrui, Jiang Ping, and Zhanzhao presided over an emergency meeting.

According to the facts of the case, Jiang Ping issued an order: 1. Look for someone who looks similar to Bai Yunrui, as long as it is a white-faced person, about twenty years old, and a person who wears a white shirt, you must pay attention;

2. Instructed everyone to disguise themselves and go to the tavern teahouse, the temple of the temple, the temple of Xiangguo and other lively places to investigate the situation.

Jiang Ping and Zhanzhao were not idle, one led a group, and everyone dispersed when they left Kaifeng Mansion. Whether it was night or day, or midnight, these guards ran from place to place and investigated carefully;

More than 20 suspects were arrested, but after interrogation, none of them were arrested, so they had to be released.

This case is really not easy to solve like looking for a needle in a haystack. Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and I have been looking forward to it day after day without results.

More than 20 days have passed in a flash, but there is still no clue about this case, and Zhao Defang, the eighth king, can't wait this day, and said in his heart that this is a life-saving.

Are you right, that day when the court was dispersed, I was in the court room, and I personally explained to you that I would continue to send me letters, why didn't you send someone to send me letters for more than 20 days?

To what extent has the case progressed? He couldn't help it. Let a general manager of Anqing Palace go to Kaifeng Mansion to inquire about this matter.

The chief steward rode a horse, came to Kaifeng Mansion with a gust of wind, saw Master Bao, and explained his intention. Master Bao was helpless, afraid that he would not be able to tell the manager clearly, so it was better to play to the Eight Kings in person.

He asked Li Cai beside him: "Who is on duty at the school captain's office?" ”

"Let's take a look." Li Cai came back after a short time of going out: "Back to Lord Bao, the one on duty today is Captain Fang Shu'an." ”

"Let him in."

"Yes!" After a while, Li brought Fang Shu'an over.

The thin-necked big-headed ghost, dressed in official uniforms, with green pants and waist knives, came to the study and bowed to Lord Bao: "See Lord Bao for your humble duties." ”

"Shu'an, are you on duty today? Where are the other captains? ”

"On the orders of the lords, they all went separately to investigate the murderers."

"Okay, Shu'an, I order you to follow Manager Li to Anqing Palace, meet the Eight Kings Chitose, and explain the situation investigated in the past few days, and there must be no mistakes."

"When will I go?"

"Go now."

"Yes! Manager Li, Father-in-law Li, let's go. This eunuch took Fang Shu'an and came to Anqing Palace.

The eunuch went inside to deliver the letter first, and when the eight kings heard that Kaifeng Mansion had sent someone, they settled down a little, and met Fang Shu'an in the imperial study.

Fang Shu'an This is the first time to enter Anqing Palace, he looked, five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, the floor and the palace, splendid, splendid, thought:

This palace is too magnificent, isn't this the palace Ouchi? Therefore, he was in awe, and he didn't even dare to come out, and followed Eunuch Li to the imperial study.

When people called him in, Fang Shu'an straightened his hat, shook his clothes, lifted the curtain, and knelt down when he got inside.

He saw that there was a person sitting above, this old man could be in his fifties, with a face like a crown of jade, and good facial features. He thought that this was probably Zhao Defang, the eighth king, so he hurriedly kowtowed:

"Humble position, see the king driving a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"Huh?" When the king heard it, why did it smell like this? What's stuck in your nose? "Look up."

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Fang Shu'an raised his face and amused the eight kings. Think about it, if ordinary people could amuse the Eight Kings? It's also unseemly.

But I really couldn't help it, and the eight kings glanced at this master, whose neck was as thin as a rolling pin, and his head was as big as a nest melon, with a cake face, bar eyebrows, a water chestnut mouth, and a little sow's eyes.

No wonder he spoke so ugly, and thought to himself: How can this kind of person, who looks like an ugly ghost, be an official in Kaifeng Mansion?

Thinking about it again, maybe this person has special skills, otherwise Lord Bao wouldn't be able to use him. Hachiwang Chitose nodded: "Who is kneeling?" What is your job? ”

"Humble Fang Shu'an, long live the six-rank general in person."

"Excuse yourself and sit down!"

"In front of the king, how dare you sit down?"

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk." A eunuch brought a chair over, and Fang Shu'an sat down, lowered his head, put his hands on his knees, and didn't dare to come out.

Bawang Chitose smiled slightly: "General Fang, you don't have to be restrained, we are not discussing matters in the court, this is chatting in private, the more casual the better." ”

"Thank you!" Fang Shu'an peeked at it, this Eight Kings Chitose was quite easy-going, so he was not so nervous.

The eighth king Chitose commanded, and the eunuch brought tea to Fang Shu'an again, where is the old house? I feel more at ease.

Eight kings Chitose asked him: "General Fang, do you think you can solve the case in thirty days!" Fang Shu'an thought for a while:

On this occasion, you can't help but say something, because the Eight Kings Chitose played a pivotal role in the Great Song Dynasty, and sometimes speaking is more than the emperor.

So he strengthened his courage and stood up: "If you go back to Chitose, the villain will be brave and talk about my own opinion." ”

"Good! You have to tell the truth. ”

"I don't think it's a big problem."

"Why?"

"There is only one reason, we have a lot of capable people in Kaifeng Mansion! Actually, Lord Wang, I just saw that you were very easy-going and joking with you, I don't think this person is easy to catch! ”

As soon as these words came out, the eighth prince laughed! "Oh, just why?"

"The Great Song Dynasty is too big, and the population of Tokyo Bianliang alone is not less than one million people! You think, he hurt people's lives with a knife, most of them went away and flew high, even if he didn't go, he didn't feel at ease, hiding somewhere to listen to the news, and his heart could be put down;

If that's the case, you can still catch him. Otherwise, it would be a needle in a haystack, and no one would have a chance. ”

"Shu'an, as far as I know, many Qing officials are good at private visits, it is said that they can solve strange cases in private interviews, you Lord Bao was the magistrate of Dingyuan County when he was young, and he made many private visits at that time, and every time he went out, there was a harvest, right?"

"That's there, not only our Lord Bao, but most of the Qing officials in previous dynasties."

"Just because there are still five days left, sitting alone and restless, I also plan to visit in plainclothes privately, can you accompany me?"

"Huh? I? Fang Shu'an was stunned, he thought: This matter is not ordinary, the eighth king Chitose is the emperor's own uncle, equivalent to the emperor of a country, and he asked me to accompany him on a private visit;

In case there is a horse stirrup short, something happens, can I stand it? Even if I crush my bones, I can't bear this responsibility!

Therefore, Fang Shu'an did not dare to express his position. The Eight Kings understood his thoughts, so they said, "Don't worry, there will be no mistakes, we have neither a sign on our heads, nor a writing, how can outsiders know that I am the Eighth King?"

Even if he recognized me, would he dare to poison me? Even if I meet an outlaw who is not afraid of death, knowing that you are strong in martial arts, I will be safe. ”
