Hurriedly ate some rice balls and stomachs, and the government Shuangbao came to the yamen to point the generals, and the mighty twenty or so people came to the south gate of the South Park of the Xiuping Courtyard of the East Garden of Li Mansion in Qingzhou City.

As we all know, the Li Mansion is rich and rivals the country, and there is more than one country that is the enemy, and the size of its palace can be seen.

Let's take a look at the layout of Qingzhou City, and then make a comparison to make it clear.

Qingguo has a vast area, the White Devil City in the north and the Red Flame City in the south are not left aside for the time being, just one city in Qingzhou, it covers a vast area, and a city is like a country, and it is divided into several pieces like a hexagram. The longitudinal spanning territory is vast, and the whole city is like a big brick, so from top to bottom, it is also divided into heaven, earth, and people.

Due north is naturally all owned by the royal family, together with the Deer King Army in the northwest and the city guard in the northeast, these three are full of heavenly positions.

Looking at the middle, the west gate is the trade gateway, and the east gate is the carriage and horse market. It is a business that depends on people to circulate, so it occupies a human position.

Let's look at the last of the three talents, status.

The southwestern block is a merchant station, where high-rollers from all walks of life have built a dense commercial street, and this plot is under the control of the military department, which is safe and secure, and there is an endless stream of merchants and vendors.

There is also a city within a city due south, where all kinds of dwellings are mixed, from villas and gardens to shacks and bungalows.

And there is a whole southeast block left, called the Li family.

The god catcher stood in front of the glorious gate of the Li family, and sighed:

"The south gate of a separate courtyard is so magnificent, and it is really wealthy, but it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a fool. What about the old guy, come out and tell me about the situation. ”

At this time, an old man with a goatee squeezed out of the crowd, with a flattering face, holding a book in his hand, first greeted the master of the god catcher loudly, and then picked up the book in his hand, nodded a little spit on his fingers, opened it, and said:

"Lord God Catcher, the black armor army has hastily checked it in front, and the records are all here, they have now gone to the north, surrounded by Xiuping Courtyard, this garden in front of us was owned by Li Yan'an, the third young master of the Li family, two years ago, my lord, you also know, that Li Yan'an had that kind of incident back then, and the death of the next person was gone, and this garden was given to Li Xiuping, saying that it was used to plant flowers?"

When he said this, Goatee's face was incredulous, and he continued:

"In short, we can't figure out the things that these rich masters do, so this garden can't be named because Li Xiuping hasn't settled in, so it's simply called South Garden, and the second young master's original garden is one south and one north, which is magnificent.

But then the old lady of the Li family disliked the bad luck of this courtyard, so she threw the deed to the official world, but who would buy it, don't look at the dilapidated inside this courtyard, just this façade, you see, you don't have a lot of money on your body, you dare to take a look? ”

Several people nodded secretly, this is true, just this row of noodles, ordinary people really can't pretend, so the old man turned the page again, and by the way, raised his hand and pointed to the north:

"Besides, the second young master's Xiuping Courtyard, just north of this, and then north of the Xiuping Courtyard is the cultivation courtyard of the eldest young master Li Xiuyuan, Li Xiuyuan is a good person, and the former servants of the third young master Li Xiu'an are still alive in this south courtyard.

As a result, last night, Li Xiuping. Oh no, no, no, it's a suspected murderer, the suspected murderer returned from a murder late at night, and it is the shortest route to go through the north courtyard in the south courtyard, so he climbed over the wall into the courtyard and kicked the side door door open, with the ground breaking the door valve as evidence, and the façade was stained with mud footprints as evidence.

But unfortunately Li Xiuping has never come to the South Courtyard, and he doesn't know anything about the affairs of the South Courtyard, he kicked the door in, and all the servants of the South Courtyard gathered in the room, it should be that the thief was arrested for theft, and all the personnel were present to interrogate the criminal, so they were all there, there was a scene where the thief cut off his finger as evidence, and a confession document was found at the scene as evidence, and the thief did not draw the detainment, because he had been killed by the suspected murderer before the detainment.

There were also 17 corpses at the scene, all of which were killed with a single knife, all of them were men, and the murder weapon was a knife with a knife, which was evidenced by the autopsy. Last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fought with the suspected murderer, and the suspected murderer used the same Yanling knife, as evidenced by the confession drawn by the old bustard Chunni of the Dark Fragrance Building. ”

"The prince is bare-handed?" the god catcher was surprised.

"No, at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used a one-handed short gun mixed with gold, and stabbed the suspect in the left rib before he died.

Today, Commander Zhou Bufan personally led the army to trace down to Xiuping Courtyard, entered the courtyard at two o'clock to thoroughly investigate everyone, found the blood-stained golden clothes, and finally locked Li Xiuping himself, and confirmed that Li Xiuping's rib wound was caused by a gun, which was evidenced by Commander Zhou's oral statement.

At that time, Zhou Bufan was about to capture Li Xiuping on the spot, but Li Xiuping resisted arrest and resisted and even fought with Zhou Commander. ”

Speaking of this, the old man scratched his chin:

It was said that it was a tie, but in fact, there was a witness at the scene, and even the helmet was taken off, and Commander Zhou seemed to be a little injured, but he himself did not admit it. ”

"Well, it's a shame to die, I've heard about it a long time ago. The god catcher scoffed.

Li Dianjin went on to say:

From time to time, Li Quanzhong, the leader of the Li family's white armor guards, led the guards to the scene and overturned all the forty-six people in the hospital of the black armor army. After that, an additional 400 black armor troops were sent to surround Xiuping Temple, confront Li Quanzhong, and have not been allowed to enter until now. ”

The god catcher has sharp eyes and is thoughtful:

"Knock Zhou Bufan over? This idiot turned out to be a martial arts idiot? It's a pity that his brain is not good, he does things upside down, and he doesn't care about the overall situation, and it's useless for the martial god to reincarnate. So what about the Li family's manager, how do you say? Old man Li, or the old lady of the Li family?"

Goatee closed the book and replied:

Mrs. Li had already delivered the words, saying that Li Xiuping was in her room at the time of the crime, and she had no time to go to the Dark Fragrance Building to fight with the prince, and there were maids Xiaoping and the porter as witnesses. Therefore, someone framed him, and the commander of Zhou thought that the Li family was harboring the murderer, so he sent the Qinghuang and wanted to lead the troops to attack the Li Mansion, and the Qinghuang was furious. ”

When he said this, he kept silent, as if he was considering his words, and Li Hongyi said:

"Your Majesty is furious, and then what? Why is the scene still closed? What about the people, what about the soldiers?"

"This... According to that... The crown prince died, and His Majesty's father must have been furious, but Qi Qiqi was calm and calm at the time, and did not order an attack on the Li Mansion. ”

The old man lowered his voice, with a strange expression:

At that time, the commander of Zhou was stunned, isn't the evidence conclusive, and he has to give it again, but the three princes next to him suddenly became angry and jumped out and said that he had made an appointment with Li Xiuping last night to see what Western Regions glazed cup, but Li Xiuping sent someone in advance to say that the old lady was sick and asked him to accompany him, and the three princes often went to Li's house as a junior, so they also visited the old lady at night to greet the old lady, and then talked very happily until the son left the old lady's house with Li Xiuping.

The third prince even burst into tears when he said that in order not to involve him, the Li family never mentioned that he was in the courtyard at that time, but he asked himself if he stood up to the sky, if he didn't say it, he was afraid that he would regret it in the future. also scolded Commander Zhou for having no way to investigate the case, but he had to rely on an idiot. ”

"It's so powerful, the prince has scolded?" Li Hongyi said with a smile.

Li Dianjin pointed to the book:

"Oh, it's written, the original words are, the emperor's grace is huge, but you old man Zhou doesn't know what to say. ”

"Wait, the god catcher interrupted and asked, when did the suspect come up against the prince?"

Goatee flipped through the case file slightly, and said with certainty:

"It's the right time to make a shot. Then quickly fled, coincidentally, Commander Zhou was also in the Dark Fragrance Garden at the time, oh no, it was said that it was patrolling, in short, he was in the Champion Building, some distance from the Red Sleeve House, and when the chaos arose, someone spread the news to his ears, and the suspect had already fled, but Commander Zhou reacted quickly, and surrounded Xiuping Yuan in half an hour.

Oh, by the way, the courtyard of the old lady of the Li family is in the northernmost part, and it is said that it will take at least two quarters of an hour to get out of the north courtyard from there to Xiuping North Courtyard.

That is to say, if the Li family and the three princes tell the truth, even if the old bustard of the Dark Xianglou remembers the wrong time, Li Xiuping should be the second moment of Zizheng when he arrives at his Xiuping Courtyard, and then goes to the South Garden, and then goes all the way to the Dark Fragrance Garden in the south, kills people and returns to the South Garden, and kills another group of subordinates, and then returns to the Xiuping Courtyard, an hour is not enough, and at that time, the Zhou Commander has already surrounded the Xiuping Courtyard. The timing simply doesn't match. ”

The god catcher was amused:

"Oh, the perfect alibi. So it was the Li family who lied to the third prince. Strange, unreasonable, what is the identity of the third prince to commit perjury?"

At this point, Goatee lowered his voice, leaned closer, and said to the catcher:

"My lord must have heard that Zhou grew up in the army, he is a stubborn character, and he has always been loyal to His Majesty, because he is heartfelt to sit on the position of the commander of the black armor army, and is a direct royal line, and then his heart grows up, and everyone around him welcomes him, and after a long time, he thinks that he is superior in both intelligence and strategy.

At that time, oh, tsk, as soon as he heard the words of the third prince, he immediately jumped up, and it is said that even the helmet fell to the ground in the hall, and pointed at the three princes and made all the courtiers present tremble. ”

He flipped through the book again and picked a paragraph, and Li Hongyi looked at it, and it turned out to be like this:

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is a good plan, Zhou has been thinking about it on the way here, although Li Lao Er is an idiot, but the Li family is not a group of fools, although his family is quite wealthy, but I believe that the Li family will not be able to do such a big thing as a chaotic minister and thief, let alone instruct his own children to commit murder.

But if it is said that Li Lao Er is bent on going his own way? The relationship with the barbarian princess is complicated, how can he, Li Lao Er, an idiot, have the brain to figure it out? Can he also happen to find such a good time?

Come, let's count and see, one of them, since His Majesty set up another city guard, the city defense matters have never been slack for many years, but a few days ago, the city was full of heavy casualties, and the city guards had to change their defenses with the military department.

The third prince was speechless, and Zhou Bufan said:

"Second, the prince's exit from the palace is recorded, the third prince's previous trip to the Li Mansion was at least a year ago, and he didn't go for a year, but it was a coincidence that such a big case was issued yesterday, and your Royal Highness the Third Prince happened to go to the Li Mansion to give Li Lao Er a personal testimony?"

When the third prince heard this, he wanted to argue again, but Zhou Bufan was already looking into his eyes with blazing eyes, and his mouth kept talking:

"Third, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will go to the Sage Pavilion of Yulong Mountain in the future, and the only obstacle that stopped His Royal Highness the Third Prince's path to the Crown Prince after last night has also disappeared, if you want to say who benefits the most in this matter, who is the one who instructed the second Li Lao's murder, the third prince might as well guess?"

Li nodded and broke out in a cold sweat, and sighed:

At that time, as soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, His Majesty was so angry that he smashed all the tea cups and fruit basins in front of the case on the head of the Zhou commander, and even said the three words "pull down" in a hurry, fortunately, he read his loyal ministers, and another martial artist, without a little ink on his chest, did not say the word "beheaded", the Zhou commander was pulled down from the court, frightened to the face of the blue, and then went to the yamen, to talk about the master, the lord said that he was sick, and the Zhou lord roared in the court, and finally ordered the two adults to investigate the case thoroughly. ”

"The old guy is amazing, the news is so detailed. Talent. Li Hongyi looked at him sideways, surprised.

Li Dianjin was ashamed and said:

"That's not, the main thing is that this case is too big, as it was said, no matter how big or small, no deception, no deletion, these records are all passed on by the kid from Gonggong Li's side. ”

The catcher grabbed his hair, and then hammered his forehead a few times in annoyance:

"Anyway, we're in big trouble this time, aren't we? ”
