In the Li Mansion wing, Pei Zheng, who felt bored, lay on the bed in a daze.

Regarding what happened the night five days ago, he had already written thirty pieces of paper, from Wen Feng asking him to send an invitation to invite Jinju Assassin Shi to a banquet, to Wen Feng vomiting blood and dying, everything was written clearly.

In addition, he also prepared five sets of plans to deal with the upcoming investigation of the imperial court.

Each set of plans has its own merits, as long as the Qincha who came to investigate the case is not a pervert, it is not a big problem for Pei Zheng to pick himself out.

With a "clang", the closed door was directly broken, and two people wearing flying fish suits, long knives tied to their waists, and grim-looking people broke in.

"Who is Pei Zheng?"

One of them asked in a cold voice.

Chang'an is 1,200 miles away from Taiyuan, and Qincha arrived so quickly?

Pei Zheng was surprised, and hurriedly got up from the bed: "Humble is it, I don't know what an adult is?"

When the questioner heard the prestige, he saw that Pei Zheng's clothes were a little untidy, and he immediately felt disgusted, and said with a cruel smile: "This official is the Imperial Guard, and he specializes in arresting lawbreakers for His Majesty. ”

"Your incident has happened, let's go with this official, Lord Qianhu has something to ask you. ”

Send your sister, when I was a three-year-old child, I would scare you when I came up?

Pei Zheng secretly complained, quickly tidied up his clothes, and silently followed behind the self-proclaimed Gongwei Si Baihu.

The Imperial Guard, a hundred households, a thousand households, is a spy organization dedicated to serving the emperor.

Emperor Jian'an directly bypassed the Criminal Department to intervene in the case, and sure enough, as Wen Feng said, this emperor, who was rumored to be as wise and martial as Emperor Taizong, was ready to take action against the family that was dragging his feet after spending more than 20 years nominally pacifying the Quartet.

After a while, Pei Zheng was taken to the Li family's side courtyard, where Wen Feng died of poison.

A middle-aged man with a heroic face and a fierce aura between his eyebrows sat above, and an old man suspected of being a member of the Li family sat on the side.

Li Yuan and Li He didn't even have the qualifications to sit in front of the middle-aged man, so they stood behind the old man of the Li family.

Inside and outside the courtyard, a number of big men wearing flying fish suits were scattered with knives on guard, and the corpses of Wen Feng and Fake Shizi were placed on the ground.

"My lord, witnesses have been brought. ”

The hundred households brought Pei Zheng to the lobby and bowed.

Pei showed a submissive look on his face, and followed with a salute: "The lowly Xin'an City scout team is right, please meet your lord." ”

The middle-aged heroic man put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Pei Zheng and smiled gently, and introduced himself: "This official Zhou Qing, on the orders of His Majesty, is tracking down the real culprit of the poisoning of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, you are the only witness to this case, but what do you have to say to this official?"

"Although you are bold enough to say everything you know, you don't have to worry about offending anyone, with this official and His Majesty behind this official, no one can be unfavorable to you. ”

Pei Zheng subconsciously glanced at Li Yuan and said in a low voice: "Returning to my lordship, I have written everything that happened that night on paper, and my lord will know it at a glance." ”

Zhou Qing took Pei Zheng's expression into his eyes, picked up a stack of papers and asked, "That's what you said? ”

Pei Zheng hurriedly stretched his neck to look.

Zhou Qing gestured, and the hundred households who brought Pei Zheng over suddenly stepped forward, took the stack of papers with a respectful expression, and finally handed it to Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng quickly flipped through it and nodded: "That's right, that's it." ”

Baihu took the paper back from Pei Zheng's hand, and then respectfully put it back on the table in front of Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the table, each blow knocked into the hearts of everyone present, and asked slowly: "According to Wen Tingshi and General Lin, that night, Wen Shilang found out that he had been poisoned, and with the help of General Lin, there was no sign of poison, and he was able to calmly let them escape from the Li Mansion and report to the imperial court." ”

"But then Wen Shilang still died, you are the one who has always been by his side, except for what is recorded on this piece of paper, didn't Wen Shilang say a word, such as guessing who poisoned him?"

Pei Zheng glanced at Li Yuan again, and replied cautiously: "When Lord Wen guessed the poisoner, Lord Assassin Shi and General Lin were still present, and after they left, Lord Wen didn't mention this matter. But Master Wen did say something else. ”

He said that the dead son was not the real son, but a substitute to prevent someone from assassinating the son. ”

Zhou Qing chuckled, "What else?"

Pei Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Wen also said that he suspected that the thieves encountered by the mission on the way back to the south were secretly arranged by the Li family. ”

Li Yuan, who was standing in the lobby, suddenly looked over and looked a little surprised.

Pei Zheng immediately closed his mouth and remained silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing snorted coldly, and a thunderous sound sounded in Li Yuan and Li He's ears, and the two of them suddenly snorted, obviously suffering a small loss.

The old man of the Li family, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating all along, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Qing: "The status of an adult is noble, and he should not be concerned with the younger generation. ”

Zhou Qing replied unceremoniously: "It's just a little punishment, why should the old man care so much? You must know that if it weren't for the Li family's face, for their behavior of provoking the majesty of the Son of Heaven, this official would definitely bring them to justice and give them a hundred lashes." ”

The old man of the Li family said disapprovingly: "Lord Zhou's hat is a bit big, the majesty of the Son of Heaven, how can ordinary people provoke?"

In just three or two sentences, Pei Zheng smelled a different atmosphere.

In the face of Qin Cha's inquiry, the Li family still has the confidence to confront it, and it seems that the implied strength of the Li family is not weak.

The strategy of directly deducting the basin on the head of the Li family is different, and it has to be changed.

Zhou Qing glanced at the old man of the Li family deeply, and did not completely fall out with him, but pretended to be okay and continued to ask, "But have you said anything else?"

Pei Zheng hurriedly replied: "There is nothing else, Lord Mingjian." ”

Zhou Qing squinted his eyes slightly: "Really?"

Pei Zheng nodded hurriedly.

At this time, the hundred households stepped forward, and the long knife was half unsheathed and said, "I will answer after thinking clearly." ”

The old man of the Li family smiled and continued: "You really have to think clearly before answering, but don't wronged a good person." ”

Pei Zheng hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to hide and lie." ”

Zhou Qing's eyes turned back and forth on the faces of Pei Zheng and the old man of the Li family, and he suddenly got up and said, "Come on, bring the body of Lord Ren and Wen back to the Assassin Mansion, and the official will turn around and interrogate him separately." ”

The staff of the Gong Wei Division, who were wearing flying fish suits, hurriedly took action, the two of them lifted the body, and someone looked at Pei Zheng, ready to go out at any time.

Pei Zheng's face was silent, but he was thinking in his heart: This is the end of the matter? Shouldn't a few suspects be arrested?

Is Qin Cha showing weakness, or is he really afraid of the Li family?

The old man of the Li family coughed lightly and asked, "Don't you stay for a while?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said: "The mountains are high and the waters are long, it is inevitable that there will be places to disturb your mansion, if there is a need, this official will come to the door at any time." ”

The old man of the Li family said slowly: "The adults go slowly, and the old man waits for the adults to come again next time on behalf of the Li family." ”

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "That's nature." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at the people under him and said, "Let's go." ”

Luo Ning and Lin Xing got up and watched the two escort Lin Ze away.
