Song Dynasty female artist

Li Jizhi's eyes flashed.

Guo Zhongji meant that he did not have this stone in his hand.

As for the friend he was talking about, he liked to travel all over the world and was not a member of the officialdom. It was not easy to find him.

Li Jizhi stood up with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your cooperation."

"I didn't help much, I'm really ashamed!" When Guo Zhongji saw Li Jizhi getting up, he immediately stood up and led the way. He didn't stop smiling until he saw Li Jizhi out of the house and said to the concierge: "Close the door. The door is closed today. Thank you."

A quarter of an hour later, a skilled government servant came back and reported: "Sir, not long after you left, the Guo Mansion closed its doors to thank guests, and within half a quarter of an hour, flying pigeons flew out of the mansion."

Li Jizhi was originally suspicious of Guo Zhongji's remarks.

What he did next made Li Jizhi even more suspicious. However, he left two people behind when he left the Guo Mansion just now. One was the government servant who came back to report, and the other was a cultivator who came from the palace to cooperate with the investigation. His cultivation level was not very high. , but tracking a flying pigeon is still very simple.

In the evening, the cultivator brought back the news.

Fei Ge actually flew to the Yanzhou Prefecture Government Office. Because there was someone with a higher cultivation level than him in the mansion, he was afraid of being discovered, so he came back directly.

Yanzhou is the fief of Zhao Zongxing, a clan member.

Zhao Zongxing is the son of Zhao Yuanjie. The official family calls Zhao Yuanjie an imperial uncle. He died earlier than the late emperor. He only had a son from his concubine, Zhao Zongxing. Because he was named King of Yan before his death, the late emperor only had this pity for his fifth brother. A son, even though he was a concubine, was still allowed to succeed him as King Yan.

Zhao Zongxing was only ten years old at the time.

Ten-year-old Zhao Zongxing was not as capable as he was at that age, and he managed Yanzhou very well.

In these years, Yanzhou was governed by Zhao Zongxing and his troops were strong.

Gu Qingjue found out the clues that Li Jizhi found first, and he also found out another clue. Zhao Zongxing sent people to Guangdong and Guangxi a week ago, where the farmers found the stone.

Guangdong and Guangxi are still governed by Nong Zhigao. Gu Qingjue sent a message to Nong Zhigao to send people to keep an eye on the river. Sure enough, someone went to the river to look for the pure white stones.

In order to prevent the price of the pebbles from falling, the farmer told no one except his wife that this man went straight to the river to look for pebbles. How could it be such a coincidence? Gu Qingjue was almost certain that the stone left at the scene must be Guo Zhongji's.

Su Yixin: "How is Guo Zhongji's kung fu?"

Gu Qingjue shook his head: "I'm not sure about this either. If Zhao Yongquan was killed by hitting a certain part with a stone, and he was not in the room, he would have to be at least in the divine realm."

Guo Zhongji was a rare talent in both civil and military affairs in the imperial court, otherwise he would not have been allowed to serve as the pacifier.

However, few people in the court have fought with him, so I really don't know what his skills are.

"If Zhao Yongquan died at his hands, wouldn't the murderer be found out?"

"There are some secret techniques that cannot be discovered by anyone."

Not to mention it was a tacit work, even their cultivators couldn't find a single trace.

Gu Qingjue synchronized the clues he found with Li Jizhi, and Li Jizhi synchronized the clues he found with Lu Gongbi and Wang Gongchen.

Wang Gongchen is too upright.

He was about to go to Guo Mansion immediately and bring Guo Zhongji to Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation.

Lu Gongbi quickly pulled Wang Gongchen's sleeve to stop him: "Master Wang, it's necessary. We don't have evidence. We should report it to the officials first before making a decision."

"What do you mean there is no evidence? It's clearly the evidence is solid." Wang Gongchen shook off Lu Gongbi's hand: "Master Lu, Guo Zhongji said that the stone was given to his friend, which is clearly an excuse to delay time. Master Li, what do you think? ?”

Li Jizhi told Wang Gongchen that he had originally asked Wang Gongchen, a "reckless man", to be reckless and take Guo Zheji directly to Kaifeng Mansion.

As for why he didn't come forward.

I just don’t want to show up.

He didn't like Wang Gongchen, and he wouldn't do anything despicable, but it wasn't considered despicable, so it was just right to let Wang Gongchen do it! How did Wang Gongchen know that he was being used by Li Jizhi.

He just felt that the two of them were too cowardly, even though they found so much evidence, they didn't dare to take action.

Listen to his nonsense.

Which murderer would voluntarily admit that he killed someone?

We need to arrest the person and interrogate him.

No courtier knew about Wang Gongchen's fighting prowess. Even though Guo Zhongji's official position was one level higher than his, Guo Zhongji was still "invited" to Kaifeng Mansion by Wang Gongchen, who had strong combat prowess.

Guo Zhongji was not as elegant as when he received Li Ji yesterday. He scolded him from Guo Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion without stopping.

Li Jizhi almost stopped when he heard it.

That's why he didn't go by himself, he really couldn't win the argument.

"Wang Gongchen, I am a third-rank official and your Majesty's personal envoy. I patrol the states for your Majesty. If you dare to arrest me, have you taken the courage of a bear and a leopard?"

"Master Guo, your official position is higher than that of a lower official, but since you are involved in this murder case, I have the right to interrogate you."

Wang Gongchen was right. His Majesty had ordered a joint trial of the three divisions in this murder case. Although Wang Gongchen was only a third-rank censor, he did have the right to interrogate officials with higher official positions than him.

Guo Zhongji gritted his teeth angrily.

But he also knew Wang Gongchen's temper. Even if it wasn't for the three-level interrogation, he would have the courage to bring him for trial, let alone that he had the right now, and he would not let him go.

"Okay, let's try it."

This sentence was said to Wang Gongchen, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Li Jizhi and Lu Gongbi, and finally stopped on Li Jizhi's face.

It seems that he knew that today's incident was Li Jizhi's idea.

Li Jizhi didn't care. He looked at Guo Zhongji with a smile. Wang Gongchen lost his patience and sat down in the middle, indicating that he was the chief judge today.

Guo Zhongji gradually calmed down.

Understand Li Jizhi's purpose.

If they had direct evidence, instead of asking Wang Gongchen, a reckless man, to go to the Guo Mansion to get him, they would directly bring dozens of government officials to surround their Guo Mansion and capture the person.

"Guo Zhongji, I want to ask you, where were you on the day of the murder at Wanlai Restaurant?"

"Home."

Guo Zhongji answered quickly and disdainfully.

"Who will testify?"

"Who can testify? I am in my study. Who dares to stare at me, the head of the family?"

Guo Zhongji was a little disdainful in the previous sentence, but now he just stopped acting.

Looking at the three people sitting on it, they seemed to be smiling, as if they were saying, what can you do even if you doubt me? You have no evidence. In the end, you have to send me back obediently, and you have to apologize to me.

Wang Gongchen was stunned: "Guo Zhongji, you are now a suspect, and I am interrogating you now. If no one can prove that you never left the Guo Mansion when the murder occurred, you will be the biggest suspect."

"Master Wang, just because I can't prove that I didn't leave the house, you can't conclude that I am the murderer of Zhao Yongquan."

Wang Gongchen: "Guo Zhongji, we have other evidence!"
