Chapter 108: Suspicion

At this time, the prefectural order is in the house.

Xu Fuzhi, who came from the capital, looked at Wei Wei's stiffened corpse in front of him, and his face was really ugly.

They arrived in Fu'an Town early this morning, and they were going to hit Wei Wei by surprise, and went directly to the door for interrogation, who knew that as soon as they entered the door, they found that this guy had hanged himself!

And the stiffness of the corpse was as if it had been dead for hours.

That was last night.

Could it be suicide in fear of sin?

Xu Fuzhi's brows furrowed.

When they were investigating in the capital, they suspected that the appearance of Wushisan had nothing to do with Wei Wei, and now this scene is really too much like committing suicide in fear of crime!

But how did he know that he was being investigated?

He frowned and ordered, "Go, search the entire mansion to see if there is anything suspicious." ”

"Yes, sir!"

More than a dozen guards immediately rushed into the mansion to search, and the subordinates of the county order mansion all knelt on the side with their heads bowed and trembled.

It didn't take long for a guard to come over with two boxes of white silver.

Xu Fuzhi stepped forward and counted it, there were at least a thousand taels of silver in it, how could he Wei Wei, a petty official who had just been demoted, have so much money?

His face suddenly turned ugly.

With so much money, either accepting bribes or looting the people's anointment, it seems that Wushisan has nothing to do with this Wei Wei.

"Keep looking!"

He shouted coldly.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran over, with a hint of panic and messiness in his eyes.

"My lord, I found this."

As he spoke, he quickly handed over the things in his hand to Xu Fuzhi.

It was a half-burned piece of stationery.

As soon as he saw the handwriting, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

This handwriting is clearly that of the eldest prince!

As an old minister in the court and a confidant of the emperor, he knows the situation of several princes very well, and he knows their handwriting even more.

Before coming over a few days ago, he had actually found out that Wei Wei was the person of the eldest prince before he was belittled, but after being demoted, the two seemed to have no contact.

But now......

Xu Fuzhi stared at the letter in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more chills he felt behind him.

Although half of the content was burned, it was still possible to see the content, roughly asking him to bulk the five stones to the capital as soon as possible and sell them secretly, and one sentence even mentioned the emperor, but the line after the emperor was all burned, and nothing could be seen.

Could it be that the eldest prince really has the intention of rebellion?

Xu Fuzhi put away the letter paper without changing his face, this is important evidence, and after returning to Beijing, he will personally present it to the emperor.

Subsequently, he then asked people to search, and found two jars of Wushisan, as well as some scattered medicinal materials, which were found to be exactly what was needed to make Wushisan.

At this point, Wei Wei's charges can basically be confirmed.

Just then, someone from outside came to report.

"My lord, someone beats the drum and says that there is a grievance!"

"What's the grievance?" Xu Fuzhi frowned, he was a messenger, but he didn't have time to deal with the matter here.

"It is said that Master Wei put his daughter and other relatives in prison for no reason, and there is no news so far, so he came to ask for justice."

"What, there is such a thing? A small county order is so powerful! I just don't take the law seriously! ”

Xu Fuzhi was furious and said coldly: "Let's go, since that's the case, let's see what's going on?" ”

At this time, Shen Yuxin and Mo were kneeling in the lobby crying.

After Xu Fuzhi came over, he saw that one of them still had bandages on his hands and feet, and he looked very seriously injured, so he didn't waste any more time and went straight to the point.

"What the hell is going on, let's say, no matter what grievances there are, this official can make decisions for you!"

"Thank you, Lord Qingtian!"

Mo wiped his tears and said word by word: "My daughter came to the county office a few days ago in order to seek justice for his father, and the witnesses were also brought, but the county magistrate indiscriminately put my daughter and the eldest brother's family in a cell, and there is no news so far, I am really afraid of my daughter-"

At this point, she seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and began to sobb quietly.

Shen Yuxin continued: "My lord, some time ago, my daughter and her grandfather's pharmacy were robbed, not any precious medicinal materials, only some rare medicines, and the pharmacy did not suffer much loss, but I was seriously injured because of this, and was plundered and thrown in the suburbs, almost losing my life. ”

"Someone told Qiu'er that when the pharmacy was robbed, he saw that his uncle was also there, and the relationship between our two families was not good, so Qiu'er suspected his uncle, so he came to the county government and begged the county magistrate to find out, who knows, the adults not only did not investigate, but detained them all for the reason of investigating the case!"

"My lord, my husband and wife don't want to find any justice now, I just hope that my daughter can come back."

After speaking, the two knelt under the hall and wept silently.

Seeing this, Xu Fuzhi asked if this matter was true, Xu Feng stepped forward and told him that it was indeed true, and then Xu Fuzhi asked Shen Youqiu and the other three to be brought up.

In the interval, he keenly noticed the strange point in Shen Yuxin's words just now, so he asked: "You said that a group of people ransacked the medicinal herb shop, but did not lose the precious medicinal materials, so what did you lose?" ”

Shen Yuxin said truthfully.

At this time, a person quietly approached Xu Fuzhi sideways and whispered: "These are the small part of the medicinal materials needed to make Wushi San, which are rarely used in normal medicine, and as far as I know, some small pharmacies will not store these medicinal materials." ”

Xu Fuzhi's face was slightly gloomy, "Go and check for me, who is this group of people who ransacked the pharmacy!" ”

After speaking, he thought of something again, and said, "In addition, detain and interrogate everyone in Wei Wei's mansion separately to see if Wei Wei has other accomplices." ”

"Yes, sir."

The man quickly retreated, and whispered a few orders to the people around him, and several guards quietly left the court.

Not long after, Shen Youqiu, Shen Yuechun and others were brought up.

It's just that when everyone saw them, they couldn't help but show strange looks.

They are also too different.

Although Shen Youqiu looked a little embarrassed, his clothes were a little dirty, and his hair was a little messy, his demeanor was calm, and he was generally normal, and his slightly pale and beautiful face made him feel a kind of broken and beautiful feeling that I still saw.

On the other hand, the other three looked as if they had gone to the pigsty and rolled around, covered in dirt and dirt, and looked in a hurry, as if they had undergone great torture.

Looking at this scene, Xu Fuzhi frowned slightly.

"Daughter!"

"Qiu'er!"

Shen Yuxin and his wife saw Shen Youqiu at a glance, and when they saw her dirty appearance, they immediately felt sour and distressed, and they couldn't care about others, so they rushed over and hugged their daughter.

"Daughter, you're okay, my father and mother are really worried about you."

"I'm fine, Dad, Mother, I just miss you."

The family of three cried together.

On the side, Shen Yuechun and the three of them also cried together.
