In late autumn, the prison was even cooler, but a layer of fine sweat appeared on Cui Huai's forehead.

"Li Yi, you go with me and report the case here to Fu Yin."

"Slow down, adult!"

Calling Cui Huai, who had already begun to walk out, Li Yi admonished: "I feel that the top priority is not to report the case, but to quickly send someone to Xu Ji Yinpu to search the account books. ”

"Searching the books?" Cui Huai was a little stunned for a moment.

Li Yi peeled back the cocoon and said: "The murderer must have a motive to kill, and Ji Fu was imprisoned for theft. According to Wei law, stealing more than ten taels of silver can be punished by beheading. Then the question arises, since Ji Fu is not far from death, why did the murderer risk the danger of being exposed to kill him? ”

Cui Huai is not a mediocre person, and after hearing Li Yi's analysis, he immediately captured the key: "Not for money, not for hatred, it can only be ...... Kill somebody to do away with a witness! ”

Li Yi arched his hand and praised: "My lord is wise! ”

Cui Huai's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he began to continue to extend along Li Yi's question: "Ji Fu is the shopkeeper of Xu Ji's silver shop, if you want to kill your mouth, the biggest problem may be in the silver shop business......

His hands clapped together violently, and Cui Huai said excitedly: "Li Yi, you quickly go and inform Fu Yin of the case, and I will take someone to the silver shop to verify!" ”

……

In the inner hall of the Yamen, the superintendent of the imperial history ignored the anxious Su Wenshan, sat alone in front of the case, and took the 'political performance book' sorted out by Taikang Mansion in the past half a year and read them one by one.

The political performance book covers many matters such as taxation and grain payment, disaster relief, and the arrest of bandits, and even includes official documents such as attendance in the department, appointment and dismissal of officials, etc.

After seeing the many cases that have occurred in recent months, Qu Jingyang looked at Su Wenshan and said: "Master Su is worthy of being born in Dali Temple, and he was able to solve seven cases in a row in a month, and his ability to investigate cases has not diminished back then!" ”

When Su Wenshan heard this, he put down the file on the evil talisman case in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's that the lower officials have no way to govern, but my lord's words are tormenting the lower officials." ”

It is better to solve a case than to rule without a case if a god does not leave it unturned, and only the road is the highest evaluation of an official.

In the face of Qu Jingyang's praise, Su Wenshan was already ashamed.

Looking at Su Wenshan, whose old face was flushed, Qu Jingyang shook his head slightly, and then asked, "What is the relationship between Li Yi and you?" ”

Su Wenshan was stunned and said tentatively: "Your Excellency knows Li Yi?" ”

Qu Jingyang shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I see that in these cases, this arrester has played a vital role in solving the case, and I can't help but be a little curious." ”

Hearing this, Su Wenshan praised without hesitation: "He was just joined last month, he is smart, diligent, and a manufacturable material." ”

While the two were talking, a servant came to report.

"My lord, hurry up and catch Li Yi to see."

Su Wenshan's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Hurry up and let him in!" ”

When the official turned to leave, Su Wenshan looked at Qu Jingyang and explained, "It should be related to the case in the prison." ”

Qu Jingyang bowed slightly, then picked up the merit book and continued to flip through it, seemingly not caring about it.

Walking into the study, Li Yi glanced at Qu Jingyang, who was looking down to check the file, and then looked at Su Wenshan and said, "Lord Qiyu, the poisonous snake case has progressed......

In the study, Li Yi clearly sorted out the beginning and end of the case, as well as the clues found and the deduction of the case.

After the bookcase, Qu Jingyang didn't know when he had put down the file in his hand.

"Well done!" After listening to this, Su Wenshan couldn't hide his appreciation.

He didn't expect his subordinates to be so fast, and in less than half an hour, they sorted out the context of the case.

After Li Yi heard the praise, he was not very optimistic.

"My lord, the murderer's modus operandi is very meticulous, if the case is really related to the silver shop business, I'm afraid he won't leave us any physical evidence..."

At this time, Qu Jingyang on the side suddenly spoke: "As you said, the murderer killed people with poisonous snakes in order to get rid of suspicion, making people mistakenly think that the victim died in an accident. ”

"Then it is very likely that he did not destroy the evidence of the crime, and Cui Fucheng went to the silver shop to check the accounts, and he may not be able to find clues."

Speaking of this, Qu Jingyang looked at Su Wenshan and asked, "Master Su, if I remember correctly, this Xu Ji Silver Shop should be the property of Ying'anhou, right?" ”

Without waiting for Su Wenshan to answer, Qu Jingyang continued: "Half a year ago, the Cangjiang Caoyun failed, and when 200,000 taels of silver were transferred in Taikang Mansion, they only stayed for three days, and the termites were devoured. ”

"200,000 taels of silver, so far Your Majesty can't figure out what kind of termites they are, they are so capable!"

"Ying Anhou and the governor of Caoyun both said that it was a once-in-a-millennium ant demon disaster...... Hehe, this ant demon's appetite is bigger than that of a pelican! ”

After a pause, Qu Jingyang looked at Su Wenshan, who was silent with his eyebrows lowered.

"Lord Su, Your Majesty transferred you from Dali Temple to Taikang, the intention, you should understand, this case ......"

In the face of Qu Jingyang's inquiry, Su Wenshan's face turned red, and finally Suo Xing said: "The lower officials are incompetent, this case has not made any progress in half a year, not only that, the lower officials are even struggling with this Fu Yin." ”

"Lord Qu must have read the case files of this mansion, in recent months, five of the seven cases are related to Ying'an Mansion openly and secretly, how can the reason be unknown in your heart?"

"Today's little girl's private affairs, adults should not have come to watch the ceremony, otherwise this evil talisman case may not happen. There is also the poisonous snake case, and Ji Fuben is ......"

Qu Jingyang raised his hand to interrupt Su Wenshan's resentful words, and said in a deep voice: "According to what Master Su said, the officials are still to blame for these two cases today?" ”

Su Wenshan said in his eyes, but he said from the heart: "The lower official lost his words, and I ask the adults to forgive me." ”

Gently putting down the dossier in his hand, Qu Jingyang's tone suddenly became gentle:

"Lord Su, the Emperor Taishang has become an immortal, and the silver of Caoyun should not flow elsewhere, this matter is instructed by His Majesty, if the earth is big today, who can be bigger than Your Majesty?"

"Master Su, this official can frankly admit to you that no matter what your political achievements are in the past six months, after this case is completed, you will not be guilty of half of it."

Su Wenshan sighed faintly and arched his hand at Qu Jingyang.

If he didn't have this promise, he would rather take his wife and daughter to return to the field.

With a smile on his chin, Qu Jingyang turned to look at Li Yi, who was sweating profusely, and said: "Li Yi, you are very good, if you are willing to help Master Su solve this case, this official can hand a piece of paper to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and recommend you to seek a career in the capital, what do you think?" ”

“......”

Li Yi suddenly regretted participating in these cases.

He originally thought that these cases were just the Ying'an Mansion putting pressure on the Su family, just for the emotional entanglement between the two families.

Who would have thought that it would have something to do with the current saint behind it...

If it is the emperor behind Su Wenshan, who is standing behind the Ying'an Mansion?

Who will make the emperor dare not do it directly?

Li Yi showed a slightly pale smile and said dryly: "Humble duty... I am willing to do my best for my emperor. ”
