Jingzhao Prison.

At night, Du Wulang lay in the thatched pile, babbling in his mouth: "This Jing Zhaoyin likes to catch me very much, I have come here for the third time." ”

"Maybe you really violated Tang Law?"

"Hey, are you really going to be in prison for two years?" Du Wulang turned over, threw the thatch at Xue Bai, and said, "I thought you would have a response." ”

Xue Bai smiled.

He came to avoid the limelight, because he was worried that Donggong and Zahu would not bite each other to death, so they would turn their attention to him.

At the same time, I also tested Xiao Jiong.

If it was just a trivial matter of beating an official, Xiao Jiong would definitely not offend him, the righteous brother of the noble concubine, and he would settle the matter; But since this sentence was so pronounced this time, he must have guessed that the big case was also done by him.

This is guessed, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

In addition to the two of them, the cell was also occupied by the beaters who had beaten people in the bookstore that day...... There is even Da Xi Yingying.

They all thought that Xue Bai had a way and would never end up in prison, and even at this moment, many people still had this idea.

"Lady of the Kingdom of Yu will help us out, right?" Da Xi Yingying asked.

"A day or two at most." Du Wulang is quite optimistic.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a torch light up on the side of the corridor, and a blue-robed official walked to the cell door with the jailer.

motioned to open the cell door and took Xue Bai to another cell to talk alone.

"I should have a good talk."

Xue Bai said: "My case is very simple, I beat Yuan Xuan, I don't know what else the official doesn't understand?" ”

"I'm the law of Jingzhao Mansion, Lu Qi, and I want to ask you a few words about some other cases."

"You're Giwin's successor?"

Hearing this question, Lu Qi was stunned, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I am different from Ji Wen, I am not a cool official, but a talent for governing the country." ”

"I see."

Lu Qi lowered his voice and said, "Actually, many people have guessed that those Hui people in the suburban post house, as well as Pei Mian, were all killed by you. ”

"It's because I wrote 'I'm a murderer' on the door of my head, otherwise why would I guess like that?"

"There's no writing on your head, and you don't look like a murderer." Lu Qi said: "But which of the princes in the court is not extremely smart, it can be inferred from the pros and cons alone." ”

"I am most afraid of this when handling cases."

"That's not something you and I should be talking about at this point."

"Okay." Xue Bai said: "Extrapolating from the pros and cons, this case is directed at the East Palace, and it should be done by the slave." Therefore, only Gonu will infer that I did it, and that the so-called 'many' of you are nothing more than Gonu's disciples. ”

Lu Qi nodded and said, "I know what you want to do, turn the public case into a private grudge, and the same trick will be useless if you use it again and again." I'll tell you the truth, the reason why Jing Yin dared to take you to prison and was not afraid of Mrs. Qiuguo and the concubine making trouble was because there was tangible evidence. ”

"Really?"

"We already know who your killer is, do you want to hear it?" Lu Qi leaned closer and said softly: "There are only two killers, one is six feet one inch tall and has a Liangzhou accent; One was six feet four inches tall, with scars on his face and dented lips, and he looked grinning at all times. ”

The fire in the cell flickered.

Lu Qi said, staring at Xue Bai's face.

It's a pity that Xue Bai didn't react much.

"You don't have to pretend to me, I know everything you need to know." Lu Qi sighed: "It is not difficult to find out if you have sent their slave status in the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu. It's nowhere near as seamless as you might think. ”

Xue Bai said: "Then you can go and tell your brother to find out and make a great achievement." ”

"You still don't believe me." The look on Lu Qi's face became solemn, he sighed, and said, "I said, you can't hide it anymore, when Jing Yin took you to prison, he was already searching Fengwei Building, and you couldn't hide them." ”

"Oh."

"Until now, only I can help you." Lu Qi said: "If you have any news that you want to pass on to Mrs. Qiuguo, I can help you." ”

"Why help me?"

"Want to hear the truth? I want to have a good relationship with the Yang family. ”

Xue Bai said: "What news do you think I should spread?" ”

"News that can save you."

"Okay." Xue Bai also lowered his voice and said, "Then you answer for me, Pei Mian was killed by me......"

Lu Qi narrowed his eyes, he didn't expect things to succeed so easily.

He thought that it would take some time to pass on a few more messages for Xue Bai in order to gradually gain trust.

However, Xue Bai suddenly changed his words.

"There is another sentence, Lu Qi is not Ji Wen's successor, but Pei Mian's successor."

Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, his face stiffened.

Seeing this, Xue Bai smiled slightly, and asked in a low voice, "How much did Li Heng tell you?" He said that those old soldiers were not sent by Wang Zhonghe? Or do you want to clean up all the incriminating evidence? ”

"You ......"

"Why can Li Heng trust you so much?" Xue Bai asked again, "Presumably you fought for it?" pinched Li Heng's handle, covered it up for him, and gained his trust? ”

Lu Qi unconsciously leaned back and hid in the darkness.

After that, he laughed and said, "I deceived you, and you did it." ”

"Yes." Xue Bai said: "Pei Mian is dead, so you have to be careful." ”

Lu Qi laughed angrily and asked, "How long do you think you can hide it?" I've found out. ”

"In the same way, don't be discovered by your brother, he is not very generous."

Lu Qi got up with a smile, shook his head, felt that Xue Bai was incorrigible, turned around and left.

He did find out the whole case, it was not difficult, Donggong told him.

But the price is also high, and he himself is in the most turbulent whirlpool of party disputes.

He suddenly regretted that he was too eager to compete for the fat shortage of Jingzhao Mansion Facao, which might not be a good thing for his entire future.

The point is, the planned scapegoat suddenly turned into a wolf......

It was still dark outside the prison door, and Lu Qi's figure gradually disappeared.

Xue Bai was taken back to his original cell, bowing his head and thinking.

He guessed, because Xiao Jiong's hesitant appearance when he decided the case did not seem to have obtained his incriminating evidence.

And the information about Lao Liang and Jiang Hai that Lu Qi said just now is in the military register, and in what the old man of Longyou said, Donggong knows these situations best.

Then, if Lu Qi came over tonight, it means that Donggong gradually has no confidence to deal with An Lushan, and wants to end this case as soon as possible, and it is against the water again.

Sure enough, it is unreliable.

What to do?

No, I don't.

The suburban murder case has nothing to do with him at all, why did he react because of Lu Qi's few words of temptation? Once you start thinking about what to do, it's time to do it.

Whatever they gossip, he only cares about what he has to do.

~~

I slept in Jingzhao Mansion Prison all night.

As soon as the morning dawned, Yang Yuyao actually came.

"Xue Bai!"

"Third sister."

Xue Bai got up, his eyes fell on Yang Yuyao's luxurious and white men's brocade robe, thinking that she was really worthy of being called a "male fox", and she was very righteous.

Yang Yuyao rushed to the fence, and first saw Da Xi Yingying, and couldn't help frowning, and said angrily: "What's going on in Jingzhao Mansion?" Men and women in the same cell? ”

Da Xi Yingying used to catch beautiful teenagers in the name of Mrs. Qiu Guo to have fun, but when she was caught in person, she didn't dare to respond, and bowed her head and said nothing.

Du Wulang had no choice but to mutter, and said, "That's thinking that I will be rescued soon." ”

Yang Yuyao took Xue Bai's hand at the fence and said, "This matter is actually more difficult than I expected, all the dog officials used to be respectful, but this time they all said that the case was too concise. ”

"Understood." Xue Bai said: "This case is indeed too blatant for me, if you want to solve it, it is useless for the third sister to force the government offices, and you should start from Yuanzhuo." ”

"How can I save you?"

"Yuan Shu is guilty." Xue Bai said: "The reason why I beat him was because he used his power to exploit businessmen. As far as I know, Yuan Lian learned of the inside information of the imperial court, and forcibly bought the rattan materials in Chang'an in advance, and then forcibly seized the paper merchant industry and handed it over to his brother-in-law to operate......"

"Got it." Yang Yuyao said: "I have forced the Criminal Department to retry this case, and then threaten Yuan Wei with these charges, so that he can change his mind and save you." ”

"If you don't give me first aid, the key is to deal with Yuan Shu."

"Huh? What is he that deserves your attention? ”

"But after a few months, we had a conflict with my brother over paper-making, and he wanted to deceive me again, so I put my words here, this time I will break off one of his sons-in-law, and let him know that I am not easy to mess with."

Yang Yuyao said: "But you are in this prison......

"If I don't be ruthless, I'll go to prison again next time." Xue Bai lowered his voice a little, and said: "This matter is not as simple as it seems, you come with your ears, I will tell you." ”

"Okay."

"I'm about to make cheap and high-quality bamboo paper, today's paper is expensive, this process involves huge profits, Brother Nu is for this to deal with me, at this time can not be soft, otherwise others will see that it is profitable, and I am easy to deceive, will rise up and attack."

Yang Yuyao listened, Fang understood his deep meaning, nodded in response, rolled his eyes, glanced at him, and said, "You, you have always been this unwilling to give in...... I love it. ”

"The third sister is not troublesome, in prison."

The two whispered for a while, and Yang Yuyao looked around at the cell again, and said softly: "Wait, sister will save you, and then you will be called 'good sister'." ”

~~

Lu Qi stood in the corridor with his hands in his hands, watching Mrs. Qiu's carriage go away.

A jailer stepped forward and whispered, "Fa Cao, the villain didn't hear clearly, but Xue Bai said a few words in the ear of Mrs. Yu Guo." ”

"Got it, go ahead."

Lu Qi smiled bitterly, thinking that it was no wonder that Xue Bai would not fall for the trick easily, it turned out that he had decided that Mrs. Qiu Guo would save him.

It is possible that Fang Cai is explaining the transfer of the veterans of Longyou, and staring at the Lady of the Kingdom of Yu may be rewarding.

Not long after, a small official came and said, "Fa Cao, Jing Yin called you over." ”

Lu Qi knew why when he heard it, and sighed.

Xiao Jiong had no intention of official business at all, standing on the steps, listening to the movement in the distance in a daze, until Lu Qi came over.

"Kyung-yin."

"Ziliang, you said that you could get evidence of Xue Bai's crimes, and the government ordered him to be imprisoned, and now the powerful people who were flattered by him have begun to coerce Jingzhao Mansion, and Mrs. Qiu Guo personally came to Jingzhao Mansion Prison to visit the prisoner."

Lu Qi didn't panic, and responded: "Back to Jing Yin, Xia Guan took advantage of this matter to find the key clue!" ”

He groaned slightly, and said: "Just now, Xia Guan specially inquired with the entourage of Mrs. Qiuguo, and learned that a few months ago, Xue Bai had settled two fierce people in the mansion of Madame Qiuguo, and their appearance and body shape were not ordinary......

Lu Qi carefully told him the appearance of the old soldier of Longyou who was told to him by the East Palace, and asked Jingzhao Mansion to take people.

Once a person gets it, he will naturally be judged first.

Finally made progress, but Xiao Jiong's expression became more and more solemn.

On that day, he personally went to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

……

"In this case, you still can't prove that Hu'er is innocent?"

"It must be almost there." Xiao Jiong said: "It's really fierce and cunning, it's not easy to find out so much." ”

Li Linfu said: "You are too slow, the prime minister has ordered someone to find out that the identity of the Hui Hui people's bones is not ordinary, he was once a personal soldier under the account of the Hui Khan's bone force Peiluo, and he once attacked the Turks with Wang Zhonghei, and he has a great relationship." ”

"Right Prime Minister God, this proves that Wang Zhonghei sent Hui people into Beijing, and then exterminated the mouth, isn't it already possible to sit on the sin of the East Palace?"

"Do you know why the saint is still skeptical?" Li Linfu said: "Because Hu Er's command killed people, let the saint think that it was us again. ”

Xiao Jiong thought to himself, in fact, in the final analysis, it is not that the saint is too lazy to abolish the prince.

But if the truth is not clarified, it is not only a matter of Hu'er losing his holy family, but also a matter of the saint's instigation.

A result must be found......

On the one hand, there was the urging from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and on the other hand, the persecution from the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu, every time Xiao Jiong locked up Xue Bai for one more day, he felt that it was more torturous than being in prison.

What is waiting is that Lu Qi finds the key evidence of the crime.

However, it was only the third day of Xue Bai's imprisonment, and Xiao Jiong got a piece of news that surprised him.

"What?"

"A paper merchant went to the Yushitai to sue Yuanhu Cao, and Dr. Yushi Pei ordered someone to escort Yuanhu Cao to Yushitai."

Xiao Jiong said: "Yushitai has always been the director of Wang Zhongcheng, when will it be Pei Kuan's turn to be in charge?" ”

"Wang Zhongcheng has been busy with peace in the suburbs of Beijing recently."

Xiao Jiong couldn't help frowning, hurriedly beckoned Yuan Shu, and asked, "Yushitai wants to check on you, can Jingzhaohu Cao's accounts be flattened?" ”

Yuan Lian's face was surprised, and his first reaction was to ask, "How is it possible?" Who dares to check me? ”

Xiao Jiong knew that it was not good when he heard it, and his heart became uneasy.

Before he could explain to Yuan Huan, another small official immediately came and said: "Jing Yin, someone from the Criminal Department has come, saying that he wants to review the case of Xue Bai beating Yuan Hu Cao, and the villain doesn't know how to reply, does it attract a meeting?" ”

Yuan Yan was not stupid, and exclaimed: "Investigating me is also because of Xue Bai's matter?" I can rest and take a step back......"

Xiao Jiong was irritable in his heart, and without waiting for him to finish speaking, he actually walked out of the public house with his sleeves and rushed to find Lu Qi in person.

"Ziliang!"

"I've seen Kyung Yin."

"But you've got eyebrows?" Xiao Jiong was anxious and said, "The position of Jing Yin in this mansion is not easy to sit on. ”

"Dare to ask Jing Yin, but what happened?"

"What else could it be? You are close to Yuan Shu, if he is planted, you will have a good rest! ”

Lu Qi saw Xiao Jiong's gaffe, and hurriedly raised his hand and responded: "There has been new progress, the lower official ordered someone to keep an eye on the Lady of Yuguo's mansion, and someone saw someone with a suspicious figure hiding in Fengwei Building." ”

"Can you be sure? This government sent someone to search? ”

"Please also ask Jing Yin to stay for another day or two to confirm clearly."

"Be sure to do it as soon as possible, don't delay the right minister's major event."

"Well, I'll do my best."

Lu Qi solemnly saluted and sent Xiao Jiong away.

But when he was together, he immediately left Jingzhao Mansion.

He couldn't investigate the murder case in the suburban post house, because he was too greedy, and he wanted to give it to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the East Palace, so it was impossible to investigate it in a down-to-earth manner.

Lu Qi rushed home and went straight to the study.

Pushing open the door, Lu Yi, who was wearing a red official robe, was flipping through a book.

"Grandpa!"

Lu Qi shouted and bowed down directly.

"The child has just entered the officialdom, he doesn't know the height of the sky, he acts conceitedly, he makes a big mistake, and he begs grandpa to save his life!"

Lu Yi turned his head, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Jingzhao Facao's position is not easy to sit, the child is afraid of following in Jiwen's footsteps, and begging Grandpa to find an opportunity for the child to be transferred......"

Lu Qi did not deceive Xue Bai, but was deceived by Xue Bai.

He is not Pei Mian, and he doesn't want to be Pei Mian, there is no need to work hard for the right minister or the East Palace, he has a premonition that things are not good, and he has decided to leave as soon as possible while he has not offended anyone.

After all, after being the prime minister, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, there are many opportunities to start over.

It's not like the prime minister's son-in-law, Yuan Shu, who is about to be pushed into the wind and rain......

I'm sorry, it's getting later and later every day~~ But there are more than 8,800 words today~~ Now the amount of updates is indeed almost unbearable, and it may be reduced next, everyone is psychologically prepared~ If there is a way, I also want to write more, after all, I still want to compete for the monthly ticket list this month~~Ask for a monthly pass~
