Su Qinghe has been very restless in recent days.

The reopening of the Hundred Swords is imminent, and all the warriors from all over the world are pouring into the city. Fortunately, it was all in Huaiyang, far away from the imperial capital, but this time it was done directly at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the little emperor was notoriously disliked these martial artists.

Hugh said that there have been more and more outsiders in the capital recently, and it is difficult to control them, even if they can carefully control the assembly and not cause riots among the people, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not provoke the wrath of the saints, and when the time comes, they will be unlucky from top to bottom, and no one in the government and the people will be able to escape.

Fortunately, the security of the capital is still only Jin Wuwei's business, and no matter how anxious he is, it will not affect him, a small catcher who temporarily went to Beijing to report on his work. What bothered Su Qinghe was the few difficult cases that he was forced to stay in the Criminal Department to supervise after the debriefing.

Originally, at the end of spring every year, officials from various provinces would go to Beijing to report on their work, and they would have to meet the Son of Heaven in the order of the state. Although Su Qinghe said that he had the hidden order to clean up Luo Yige, he only had one thing left to report on his work when he entered Beijing, and the so-called Su Hangzhou Chief Catcher was lower than the official position of the governor of Huaixi Road before.

Most of the Hangzhou officials who came from the same way have gathered in the capital in recent days to travel around the capital, and they will soon return home, but Su Qinghe was left behind by the members of the criminal department to deal with two embarrassing prisoners.

Those two people, one is called Meng Qianlei, and the other is the lord of Luo Yige.

Needless to say, the master of Luo Yige said that it was most appropriate for him to try the case he supervised by himself, but this Meng Qianlei was obviously not in his term of office, but because he was arrested on his territory, he was now asked to make a set of confessions.

When Meng Qianlei was arrested, Hu Buxi had already left the position of chief catcher and wandered the rivers and lakes, and he had just been ordered to set off from Huaizhou. In the past few days, he has stayed up late and flipped through the files, and found that most of them have traces of circle and alteration, and there are many inconsistencies that even he can see.

He wanted to handle the case impartially, with a clean breeze on his sleeves. It's just that God doesn't seem to be so easy to talk to.

I didn't go to bed until I saw the third watch last night, and today is another early day.

After hastily sending away the officials of the Criminal Department who came to ask questions, Su Qinghe returned to the room, sat down at the table, raised his sleeve with one hand to study the ink, and began to flip through the wrinkled files with the other.

Before the butt was hot, someone knocked on the door outside: "Su catches the head!

Su Qinghe said in his heart that he was the group of court officials who never disliked the relationship, and he didn't bother to think about who it was, so he said directly.

"Yes, then I'll arrange for them to wait in the Absolute Snow Hall. ”

"Well, I'll be there then. Su Qinghe coped lightly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this Bianliang was still the same as half a year ago, and the hypocrisy was unpleasant.

However, when he closed the file in his hand and put on his formal clothes and went to the Juexue Hall for the guests, he almost had the heart to die.

Sitting in the guest seat for a long time was Hu Buxi, who couldn't find it when he looked through the Luo Shen case file in the past two days, and Zhao Wu'an, who used either a sword or a brain every time they met, and wanted to humiliate him a bit.

Of course, Su Qinghe is a big man who can afford to let go, and he always disdains to be knowledgeable with these two hooligans, even if he encounters a bottleneck in the investigation, he is used to supporting himself, where did he think that these two people actually came directly to the door.

"Yo, long time no see, Lao Su! How are you doing lately? The treatment of this criminal department is not bad, is it much better than that Hangzhou that has no pennies except for the temple merit box?" Hu Buxi was not polite at all, and patted Su Qinghe's shoulder three times as soon as he came up.

This hand that has practiced knives for 20 years, not to mention opening mountains and gravel, it is still no problem to hammer people half to death with a punch. Su Qinghe carried three palms with a dark face, his true anger was stagnant, and he couldn't answer.

Zhao Wu'an didn't have a box, he was dressed in white as before, half-lying on the chair with his eyebrows furrowed, and let Hu Buxi wave his claws at Su Qinghe wantonly.

"Oh yo, what's wrong with you kid, you pretend not to know us two old people when you become a big official?" Hu Buxi made a bitter and hateful look, "Do you know our boss! In Bianliang, he called a nine-death life, and the day before yesterday was even sleepless all night, I thought that I came to you yesterday, but I just let me hold it down, and I came over after a day of recuperation, you kid's expression, do you not want to see it?"

Zhao Wu'an seemed to be unable to stand it, sighed softly, and persuaded: "Hu doesn't like it, stop in moderation." ”

Having said that, of course, he didn't have any intention of getting up to stop him, and his expression was as leisurely as if he was drinking tea in his backyard.

Su Qinghe took away Hu Buxi's hand on his shoulder, and said weakly: "Say, what do you want to do." ”

With the temperament of these two people, if they hadn't begged each other, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to find him once when the sky fell.

Forget it when you come to him, you have to put on a red and white face that is so clumsy that you can see through it at a glance, Su Qinghe doesn't want to give them a chance to continue playing.

Hu Buxi, who stopped abruptly, and Zhao Wu'an, who was sitting on the chair and did not move, quickly exchanged glances.

Su Qinghe couldn't help but say loudly: "What are you looking at! Don't you realize it at all! Do you really think that your acting skills are very good!?"

There was a dead silence. Zhao Wuan looked at Hu Buxi, Hu Buxi looked at Su Qinghe, and Su Qinghe looked at Zhao Wuan.

Hu Buxi put his hand on the back of his head, scratched it, hehe said twice, and said with a smile: "Lao Su, you have become more shrewd." ”

Su Qinghe held his forehead: "No, I didn't." ”

"It's you guys who are really stupid in some ways. Su Qinghe thought about the second half of the sentence, and swallowed it back into his stomach.

Although it is difficult, whether it is Qingdi Township or Bianliang, Su Qinghe certainly knows that these two people are far from being bad. The reason why he is clever and makes such a comeback may just be to ease the atmosphere of the reunion. It's hard to say that Hu Buxi is quite fond of making tricks in this regard.

After calming down his complicated thoughts slightly, Su Qinghe regained his composure and walked to the main seat and sat down.

"Catch Luo Yige, you helped me. Although we are far from being friends, I owe you a favor. You don't have to hide what you want, just say it, I still have something to do. ”

Glancing at Hu Buxi, Zhao Wu'an cleared his throat and said, "Sorry for the trouble." ”

"I said I don't have to be formal. Su Qinghe frowned. The Luo Shen case has not been concluded for a long time, and he is in a bad mood, not entirely because of the sudden visit of Hu and Zhao.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Su Qinghe didn't want to talk at length, and of course Zhao Wu'an wouldn't beat around the bush again, "I want to see Lord Luo Yige, or at least let me ask him a few questions." If I can't see him, I'll have to read all his files. ”

"How does this help you?" asked Su Qinghe rhetorically.

The case of Luo Yige is closed, and all the people on the list are either dead or arrested, and none of them have escaped. The net that Su Qinghe sowed in Hangzhou can be regarded as a complete victory, and now it is only the last part of the interrogation.

Zhao Wu'an hesitated, "I still have something to investigate." ”

"Lord Luo Yige is an important criminal of the imperial court, if it is just because of personal grudges, I will not let you see him. Su Qinghe said, "If you want to ask questions, I can do it for you." It's just that what is waiting for him is the triage of the three divisions, and if you want to know the result, you have to wait for at least three days. ”

"I can wait. Zhao Wu'an said.

"Okay, let's talk about the problem. Su Qinghe raised his eyes and glanced at Hu Buxi. Since the beginning of his conversation with Zhao Wu'an, Hu Buxi has been standing in the middle of the lobby, not sitting but not moving.

He didn't have the heart to guess the thoughts of such a master outside the world, so he rolled up his sleeves and spread the paper, grinding ink in one hand and holding a pen in the other, obviously ready to record what Zhao Wu'an said.

Zhao Wu'an saw it in his eyes, but he was slightly surprised. Su Qinghe is a son of a family, and he has never fallen into the family since he was born, but he did this thing of studying ink with his own hands, but he came easily, and he didn't feel unfamiliar at all.

What Zhao Wu'an didn't know was that since his grandfather's death, Su Qinghe has handled all his daily life and diet. Even in Huaizhou's hometown, there has never been even a maid or scholar.

His father once thought that his move was disobedient, but Su Qinghe was willing to do it.

Grandfather Su Changdi is known as the first gentleman of the Song Dynasty, not proud, but the wisdom of the rivers and lakes and temples, often encouraging Su Qinghe with words of grinding and encouragement, but for the unique grandson in this family, he is really not strict.

Therefore, when Su Changdi was alive, Su Qinghe hardly suffered anything except for sword practice. After the age of sixteen to Bianliang, he took care of his own food and clothing in this land where every inch of land was valuable, and he would never allow maids and servants to come close to him.

"Say it. Su Qinghe urged.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned for a moment, obviously he had made all the preparations before the transcript.

Zhao Wu'an came back to his senses and said sorry, and then supported his chin with his hand and said what he wanted to ask one by one.

Every time he said a word, Su Qinghe wrote down a line, although Zhao Wu'an spoke quickly and slowly, Su Qinghe's pen was never in a hurry, and slowly followed.

After Zhao Wu'an's last sentence was finished, and half a cup of tea passed, Su Qinghe's last stroke was settled.

After shaking the ink on the paper, Su Qinghe carefully read the content of the note again before saying, "Okay." When the three divisions are tried, I will ask you all these questions. At that time, you will have a copy of the confession. ”

"Do you know how to draw a charge?" Zhao Wu'an asked a question that seemed to be clueless.

Su Qinghe frowned, shook his head and said, "There is only one copy of the painting, and it will be handed over to the Holy Lord, and even the Criminal Department will not keep it himself." Naturally, it's just a transcript for you. ”

"I see. Zhao Wu'an stood up, as if he wanted to leave, "Thank you, Wu'an owes you a favor." ”

Su Qinghe shook his head slowly and said: "No matter what Qincheng Inn, it is true that you caught the murderer in Qingdi Township, and this love is something I should repay." ”

However, Zhao Wu'an just waved his hand slightly and walked away.

Outside the Juexue Hall, the summer sky was in full bloom, sprinkled on Zhao Wu'an's snow-white robe, and there was a faint feeling of the immortal drifting away.

Su Qinghe was slightly stunned for a moment while holding the paper. When I came back to my senses, I realized that Hu Buxi didn't go out with Zhao Wu'an.

He had never talked to Hu Buxi alone, and he was a little confused for a while: "You...... Not going out with him?"

Hu Buxi is a different person than he was a moment ago. Rao is he kept rubbing his eyebrows, and it was difficult to change this sad face.

"Master Su, I have something...... I have to ask you. ”
