Gu Qingzhang didn't expect that these two people would still have this frontier, and when the matter was finished, the group walked out of the city.

The flags erected outside the city fluttered in the wind, and Gu Qingzhang walked out of the city gate smoothly, but what he saw was not Lin Yizhou, but Lin Chonghan riding on a tall horse.

Gu Qingzhang took a few quick steps forward, he looked at his lover who had been separated for several months in a daze, his lips trembled slightly, and it was difficult to say anything for a moment.

"I haven't seen you for a long time," Lin Chonghan turned over and dismounted neatly, "Ning Anhou is well?" ”

After speaking, she smiled at Gu Qingzhang, her smile was as bright as ever, gently plucking the other party's heartstrings.

He replied: "Thanks to the county lord's concern, everything is fine below, but the county lord seems to have lost some weight. ”

"There has been an epidemic recently, and it's common to be busy," Lin Chonghan didn't pay attention to it, she turned her head to call Lin Yizhou, "Brother, Yanling has arrived, let's go in." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Qingzhang remembered and asked, "County Lord, what are you here for?" ”

Lin Yizhou on the other side got off the horse, he asked people to lead the horse, and after hearing this, he took out a holy decree from his chest, and asked with some surprise: "Ning Anhou is in Yanling, don't you even know our purpose?" I thought you were the same goal as we were. ”

Gu Qingzhang was at a loss: "No, Ben Hou is simply tired of the people below, so he came here to rest for a few days." ”

Hearing this, Lin Chonghan and Lin Yizhou glanced at each other, and the former said: "Yanling Prefect Liwen is suspected of embezzling disaster relief money, Your Majesty sees that we happen to be close to Suzhou, so let us arrest him and bring him to the capital." ”

Lin Chonghan supplemented; "There is also the disappearance of the victims, I also have some doubts in my heart, so I asked Lu Tingxuan to investigate-speaking of which, what about Lu Tingxuan?"

Lu Tingxuan happened to be standing behind Gu Qingzhang, and when he heard this, he squeezed from behind to the front and said, "Xiaguan has seen the county lord and the hussar general. ”

He originally wanted to report to Lin Chonghan that the victims were killed, but there were many people at the city gate, which was obviously not a good place for storytelling.

Everyone also understood this, so they walked directly to Yanling City, and the guards at the city gate saw them and didn't dare to stop them at all, so they hurriedly let them go after asking their identity.

On the way, Lu Tingxuan and Gu Qingzhang talked about it.

After knowing that the people outside the city were actually killed alive by Liwen, Lin Chonghan gasped, and a touch of anger appeared in his beautiful eyes.

She said angrily: "If you just want to protect yourself, you will be criticized a few words at most, so why kill all those people?" ”

But what Liwen did was more than that, and the sins he committed were far beyond everyone's imagination.

Under Gu Qingzhang's narration and Yang Shi Niang's addition on the side, they also all knew what happened in the Yuanmen Temple.

The suffering of countless young children in the Yuanmen Temple is inseparable from the Liwen, and without his acquiescence, this Taoist temple would not have been able to open so grandly and smoothly.

It can be said that the concept of the edge door is an important means to collect money and bribe others.

Lin Yizhou clenched the hilt of his sword and spit out a sentence coldly: "This person should be killed." ”

It's just that Liwen is still a court official after all, and it is not their turn to kill them as courtiers, and the only thing they can do is to escort him to the capital.

However, when Lin Yizhou and the others arrived at the official office, the atmosphere inside was very wrong, and many people were running out in a panic, and one of them accidentally bumped into Lin Yizhou.

As soon as he saw Lin Yizhou, he knew that he was definitely not the object he could offend, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.

"Get up," Lin Yizhou said coldly, "Where are your prefects?" ”

Speaking of the prefect, the panic on his face became even more obvious, and he stumbled and said, "Hello, tell your lordship, our prefect lordship...... He, he's dead! ”

Liwen is dead?

Gu Qingzhang blurted out in an instant: "What, how is this possible!" ”

Although he didn't have much contact with the other party, just by relying on these contacts, Gu Qingzhang could fully understand Liwen's personality.

How could a person like him commit suicide so easily?

At this moment, even Lin Yizhou, who was prepared for the other party's difficulty, was stunned on the spot.

But soon, he reacted: "Take us to see." ”

"Yes, yes."

They were taken into Liwen's room, and as soon as they entered the room, a smell of blood came to their faces, and when they looked again, sure enough, the other party was already lying on his back on the ground, and it seemed that he had completely died.

Lin Yizhou and Gu Qingzhang glanced at each other, and they all stepped forward to check the cause of Liwen's death.

It didn't take much effort for them to find a scar on Liwen's right wrist, the blood on his wrist had not yet dried up, and there was a lot of dark red blood all around his body.

This is - suicide by cutting your wrists?

Lin Chonghan saw that something was wrong at a glance, she tapped the wound on Liwen's wrist with her chin and said; "People generally do things with their right hands, but Liwen's wound is on his right hand, is he left-handed?"

Gu Qingzhang recalled the scene when he shared breakfast with Li Wen, and shook his head decisively: "He is the right hand, I am very sure of that." ”

Lin Chonghan asked: "Is it possible that Liwen's death was not a suicide, but a homicide—or was he forced to commit suicide?" ”

But now that people are completely dead, no matter how many questions they have, it is difficult to find the answers to them.

"Collect the evidence first and submit it," Gu Qingzhang said in a low voice, "As for the rest of the matter, let them investigate the officials of Dali Temple." It doesn't have anything to do with us. ”

Lin Chonghan nodded: "Right now, it seems that it can only be done." ”

It's just that Liwen is dead, and they have to choose another person from the remaining officials to temporarily act as the prefect, and then wait for the imperial court to send someone to take over.

But the matter of Yuanmenguan was not as completely fermented in the entire Yanling City as Gu Qingzhang imagined, and he guessed that there might be the shadows of those high-ranking officials and nobles behind it.

This matter involves a wide range of things, and it is inconvenient for him to dig deeper, not to mention that the hasty conclusion of this matter is not a kind of protection for the young children and their families who have been victimized by the turmoil?

Before leaving Yanling, Gu Qingzhang went to eat the tofu brain and soup dumplings he had eaten before.

The tofu brain and soup dumplings are still the same as before, but the plaque at the door has been taken down by the shopkeeper and replaced with a brand new plaque.

After Gu Qingzhang finished eating, he asked for a soup dumpling and tofu brain takeaway, and asked about it.

The boss spat on the ground fiercely and scolded: "I thought he was a clean official, but I didn't expect him to be such a wolf-hearted brute, I'm bah-"

"This is his suicide in fear of sin, if he doesn't die, Lao Tzu will kill him sooner or later!"
