Lu Changan rubbed his forehead and carefully analyzed with Qin Shengrui the disadvantages of his current participation in politics, now that the court is worried about internal and external troubles, can he solve internal or external troubles with his ability?

If nothing can be solved, it is better not to participate in politics, and then it will not be clumsy. When Yan Dusk is convicted, he is the only one left as the fourth prince, and the position of the prince is his. If you can sit back and enjoy it, why bother thanklessly.

Qin Shengrui snorted, "Okay, I don't go into the court to participate in politics, I will listen to you in this matter, but there is one more thing, you have to listen to me." ”

Lu Changan sighed slightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Qin Shengrui leaned closer and said, "Take this opportunity to kill Lao Qi." ”

"Your Highness, I just said ......"

"Kill him, and never again!"

The next day, Liu Yunxiang and Zhang Qi were calculating the losses after the store was closed, but fortunately, only the shops in Shengjing were closed, and the shops in other places were still operating normally.

"The guys were divided into several shifts and patrolled outside the shop day and night, but fortunately no theft was detected." Zhang Qi said.

At this time, Shengjing is not very peaceful inside and outside, I am afraid that there will be thieves who will take the opportunity to steal the inventory in the store, but the government does not care, they can only suffer dumb losses.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Our shop will be unsealed soon, you tell the guys not to panic, everyone should take care of each other during the special period." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Qi wrote a number at the bottom of the account book in front of him, and then showed it to Liu Yunxiang, "Because of the seizure of the shop, we have several batches of freight that cannot go out, and we cannot deliver them on time. ”

Liu Yunxiang looked at the last number, his brows furrowed, "Explain our situation to the other party clearly, try to obtain their understanding, and the amount of compensation will be as agreed in the contract. ”

"I see."

At this time, the housekeeper came over and said that an official from Jingzhao Mansion had come to deliver a message, and Feng wanted to see her.

When he came to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, Li Chongzheng, the governor of the mansion, led Xue Hefeng out. Li Chong's face was sad, but Xue Hefeng had a smile on his face, and his pace was brisk, as if he had just been interrogated as a suspect.

Seeing Liu Yunxiang, the two of them stepped forward to salute together.

Liu Yunxiang raised his hand, and then looked at Xue Hefeng: "I heard that the Feng family identified Lord Xue as the real murderer of Xiao Wu?" ”

Xue Hefeng chuckled, "This is not nonsense, the fifth girl is clever and cute, I can't love her enough, how can I kill her!" Feng retracted his confession and bit indiscriminately, but it was just a dying struggle. ”

"Lord Xue saw the Feng family kill the five girls with his own eyes that day?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Feng said that she didn't kill the fifth girl, so which of you two is lying?"

Xue Hefeng sneered, "Naturally, it's the Feng family." ”

Liu Yunxiang looked at Li Chong, "The two of them identify each other, if Feng's confession can't be used as evidence, then the confession of Lord Xue, who is also suspicious, can't be used as evidence, right?" ”

Li Chong was silent for a moment and said, "That's the reason." ”

"Then Feng was imprisoned in prison, why was Lord Xue released?"

"This ......"

Xue Hefeng sighed: "The princess may not know that as an official of the imperial court, unless there is conclusive evidence, denial cannot be easily convicted, let alone imprisoned. ”

After speaking, Xue Hefeng smiled, and then walked towards the outside of the prison.

"Li Fuyin, you just let him go?" Liu Yunxiang frowned and asked.

Li Zhong said helplessly: "It's still the same sentence, Feng's confession can't be used as evidence, and there must be other witnesses and evidence to convict Xue Hefeng." But Feng's situation was different, the official messenger saw her holding a knife in her hand that day, and she pleaded guilty, and even closed the case, so if Xue Hefeng could not be convicted, then Feng was still a murderer and had to be executed. ”

Coming to the door of Feng's cell, Feng saw her and hurriedly ran over from the darkness. Unlike before, she tied her hair up and looked at Liu Yunxiang with bright eyes.

"Xue Hefeng was let go." Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly.

Feng's eyes darkened, but he quickly put away this loss and looked left and right, "Princess, can I say a word to you alone?" ”

Liu Yunxiang turned his head and saw that there was a prison messenger beside him, so he waved them to wait outside.

As soon as the prison was gone, Feng Shi stepped forward again, grabbed the railing with both hands, and whispered: "Yesterday, Li Fuyin interrogated me, and I told him what happened in the mountains that day, but he said that my confession could not be used as evidence, let me think that there were other people who saw Xue Hefeng kill people at that time." When I thought about it, one person did see it. ”

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "There is a fourth person present?" ”

Feng shook his head, "There is a mountain behind Fahua Temple, there is a path up the mountain, the old man is over sixty years old, carrying a bamboo basket, he should be passing by there." I saw him in a panic, and he was also frightened and ran away in a panic. ”

"Then why didn't you tell Li Fuyin?"

"No, I can't trust them. Xue Hefeng's means are very powerful, this Jingzhao Mansion may already have the eyeliner he has planted, I can't take risks. ”

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he subconsciously glanced into the distance, and saw a prison messenger looking over here, and when he saw her looking over, he hurriedly hid back.

"Princess, please help me." Feng prayed.

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "Do you want me to help you find this old man and ask him to identify Xue Hefeng?" ”

Feng Shi nodded hurriedly, and at the same time took out a piece of paper from his arms, "During the interrogation yesterday, Li Fuyin asked me to write down the day's experience carefully, and I took advantage of their inattention to draw the old man's appearance on the paper and secretly stuffed it into my arms. ”

Liu Yunxiang took the paper, and for fear of being discovered, she hurriedly stuffed it into her sleeve pocket.

"I know I'm causing trouble to you, Princess, but you're the only one I can ask for right now. Please help me, I have to get back to Kong'er, I have to protect him. ”

"I'm not helping you, I'm here for Xiao Wu."

Coming out of Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Yunxiang took out the portrait and took a look, without further ado, she took Zijin out of the city to Fahua Temple.

"Girl, the incense of Fahua Temple is prosperous, and people come and go, just with this painting, I'm afraid it's not easy to find." Zijin said.

"Then you'll have to find it."

"Why don't we go back to the house and bring some more people?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Don't leak the news, in case Xue Hefeng knows, one step ahead of us, this old man will be in danger." Let's look for it secretly, and then act on the opportunity. ”

On the first day, the master and servant asked a lot of people, but no one knew the old man, and finally returned in vain.

Early the next morning, they went to Fahua Temple again, but outside the mountain gate, they ran into Qu Moran, and she was followed by Li Zhu.

"Hey, Yunxiang, what a coincidence, you also came to Fahua Temple to offer incense?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled and nodded, "It's really a coincidence." ”
