Qin Fan wasn't going to continue to dwell on it because he had just gotten the news.

Li Shimin has come to Wannian County, and is now waiting for him, the county magistrate, in the county office.

Although Qin Fan was a little disdainful of His Majesty the Emperor, he still had to do some superficial work that should be done.

So he quickly got up and walked out of his dilapidated room.

When Qin Fan came to the outer courtyard, he saw dozens of soldiers with weapons standing in the courtyard.

Qin Fan's heart was slightly cold, could it be that Li Shimin knew his secret?

Thinking of this, Qin Fan's face instantly turned iron-blue, and at the same time, his steps quickened, and he walked towards the county government hall.

"See your lordship."

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he heard Li Shimin and the old eunuch beside him say in unison.

Then the two turned to the other officials: "All Aiqing excuse me, flat."

Qin Fan nodded slightly, and then glanced around.

Seeing so many people, he was in a slightly better mood.

After all, in this way, it can also show the status of his small county order in the imperial court, but soon his smile froze on the corners of his mouth.

It turned out that except for Li Shimin and the old eunuch, all the civil officials present had an unfathomable and unsmiling expression.

Qin Fan suddenly felt depressed, these bastards definitely didn't have any good intentions.

Thinking of this, Qin Fan snorted coldly and ignored it anymore.

At this time, Li Shimin said, "Zhong Aiqing, this emperor is here today to discuss something."

As soon as the words fell, he told everyone present what had happened last night.

After hearing this, everyone present exclaimed, especially Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who took the case.

"How can this be reasonable, you dare to assassinate Your Majesty, it's really tired and crooked, come and order the Jinyi guard to take down the prisoner and behead him on a later day."

Before Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, could finish his words, Qin Fan hurriedly stopped, "Wait."

"Huh? What else do you have to say?"

Qin Fan glanced at Zhang Liang lightly and said.

"Master Zhang, have you forgotten that this matter involves a wide range of issues, and if you act rashly, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang frowned and said, "Lord Qin, what do you mean, don't you think we should sit still?"

Qin Fan shook his head and said, "No, of course not, I mean."

"That's enough."

At this moment, the old eunuch on the side suddenly interrupted Qin Fan's words and shouted loudly.

Qin Fan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw the old eunuch's eyes flashing with a gloomy light, glaring at him viciously, as if he was going to eat him.

Qin Fan was so frightened that he trembled all over, scolded secretly, and then retreated.

Then Qin Fan heard Li Shimin say, "Lord Qin, since you think we should be cautious, according to your wishes, what should we do?"

"This."

Qin Fan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, the minister believes that this incident is not an ordinary assassination case."

"By all indications, it looks like a premeditated assassination."

"Therefore, the minister suggested sending spies to infiltrate the inn first, and find out."

"Make sure there are no missed clues. As for the final result, how about we wait until tomorrow morning to make a decision?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded and said, "According to what Qin Aiqing said, come here, send Jinyi Wei to the inn to investigate clearly."

As soon as he gave the order, someone immediately ran out of the door to make arrangements.

"Lord Qin, do you need to avoid it?"

After a while, waiting for Jinyiwei to leave the lobby, Li Shimin suddenly turned his head and asked Qin Fan.

Qin Fan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but show a bitter smile, and sighed secretly, he understood what the other party meant.

The evasion in Li Shimin's mouth is actually to keep Qin Fan away from this case temporarily, just in case.

Moreover, in Li Shimin's plan, this case must not be made public

Don't let Qin Fan know.

After all, Qin Fan's background is too tough, and if it is known that he and Li Shimin are acting together, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two.

Thinking about it, Qin Fan said, "That minister has resigned."

After speaking, Qin Fan took Xiao Qi and left quietly.

After going out, Xiao Qi asked, "Master, we really don't have to stay to see the excitement?"

Qin Fan shook his head and said, "No."

"Oh?" Xiao Qi was a little surprised, but he knew that the master had never been a person who liked to suffer.

However, although he was strange, he didn't ask much, because he knew Qin Fan's character, and the things he decided, no matter who persuaded him, it would be useless.

"Xiao Qi, let's go."

Xiao Qi followed behind Qin Fan, shuttling through the streets and alleys all the way, galloping towards the northern suburbs of Fucheng.

After about half an hour, Qin Fan and the others stopped in front of a remote alley.

There is a plaque at the entrance of the alley, on which are written the words "Drunken Immortal Building".

Qin Fan pushed open the hidden door and walked in, and there was a burst of wine in his face, and the whole restaurant looked a little messy, and the tables and chairs were unevenly placed.

The air was filled with a strong smell of smoke, Qin Fan frowned, raised his legs and walked into a private room.

When Qin Fan was observing in the hall just now, he noticed that there were many tables of guests in the hall who were drunk.

The men were flushed, lying asleep on the table, unable to tell which was their companion or a stranger.

However, he ignored this, walked directly into a private room, then closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, while Xiao Qi stayed at the door of the room.

After a long time, Qin Fan slowly opened his eyes, only to see in the moonlight reflected on the window.

Qin Fan has been staying in the palace these days, although he has eaten and clothed warmly every day, he has never relaxed his vigilance for a moment.

Shaking his head and throwing away these distracting thoughts, Qin Fan put out the lights and rested after rethinking his thoughts.

Early the next morning, Qin Fan had just woken up, and before he could clean up, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Knock knock."

"Come in."

The door creaked open, and then a middle-aged man wearing a headcatcher costume and a brocade python waist tag on his chest walked in with a group of catchers.

This head catcher, surnamed Chen, is a subordinate of Chen Desheng, a waiter in the Criminal Department, and is specifically responsible for this matter.

"My lord, the lowly duties have been arranged. As long as there are people involved in the assassination case, no matter who they are, they will be arrested and brought to justice, and they will be strictly interrogated, and the culprits behind the scenes must be found out."

Chen Desheng arched his hand and said.

"Hmm."

Qin Fan nodded, and then admonished, "Chen Zhutou, don't make this matter self-defeating, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Chen Desheng nodded, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and suddenly asked.

"By the way, my lord, those corpses last night are going to be handed over to the yamen?"

Qin Fan waved his hand and said, "No need, just throw it into the wild to feed the wolves."

"Yes, obedience."

Chen Desheng led the order to retreat, and Qin Fan took Xiao Qi and left the Drunken Immortal Tower.
