Chapter 68 Behind the Scenes
Just three days after Xie Yunqian's resignation letter was handed in, Qian Haiqing, the servant of the criminal department, was ordered to investigate the recent missing persons case in Yanjing. Lang Zhong was forced to step up, but he couldn't distinguish between priority and priority. The case was delayed again and again, and the Criminal Department was accused of ineffectiveness, which became the laughing stock of the Six Departments for a while.

In addition to being a laughing stock, he also pondered with a little patience.

Yanjing has entered deep winter, and the cold wind is bitingly cold. The assassination case of Su Wang, which has been suppressed for a long time, was finally brought to light again on a certain day.

Su Wang has been imprisoned in the sky prison because of the Zhoushan paddock. This matter is no longer a secret among officials. It is said that the emperor has not executed Su Wang because of his brotherhood. He is a benevolent king.Finally, someone is going to be an admonisher who understands righteousness, and asks the emperor to execute Su Wang and give an explanation to the courtiers and the people of the Manchu Dynasty.

The emperor was forced to have no choice but to order Su Wang to be given a glass of poisoned wine, and all the family members of Su Wang's mansion were sent to a bitter cold place.

Yecheng in the far east of Suidong is frozen all year round, and there are few people. Many sinners sent here either died on the road or lived in Yecheng for less than a month. The people shouted for the king's benevolence and righteousness.

Han Shushan has been secretly investigating Ji Li for a few days, but there is no news. Lu Chengfeng is worried that Ji Li will leave Yanjing during this period, so he asks Xie Jiuxiao to lie that there are still some things that are unclear about his studies, and ask him to stay for a few more days .

Although the reason was lame, Lu Chengfeng knew that this excuse could temporarily stifle Ji Li. Before he introduced him, he had said that he would hand over all his life's knowledge. Since Xie Jiuxiao said that he hadn't learned the homework yet, he had to nod Xie Jiuxiao anyway. Let people go.

Lu Chengfeng first found out the identity of the woman, but unfortunately she had passed away due to illness two months ago, but among these clues, he found an unexpected clue, the dead woman had a younger brother called Ding Liang, who mixed with her Doing horse business in the market.

This made Lu Chengfeng suspicious, because most of the people who entered the Lefang Division were family members who suffered felony crimes, the female relatives were treated as music slaves, and most of the men were executed and exiled. ?

Zhuo San went to the horse market twice, shaking off his snow and wind, and knocked on the door to enter the house.

Lu Chengfeng is writing a letter.

Zhuo San said: "Master, there is something strange."

Before Lu Cheng got up to the limelight, he had already written three pages eloquently.

Zhuo San has been with her for a while, knowing her habits, and waiting patiently for a while, the person at the desk finally finished writing, put down his pen and read it: "Let's talk."

Zhuo Sancai said: "This Ding Liang was originally just a gangster in the market, and his real name is not Ding Liang, but Jiang Liang. He only arrived in April to work in the horse market. I inquired about it. Jiang Liang is now running a horse market. There is a stable with more than 50 horses, and there are indeed some ways, and many famous horses from aristocratic families come from him."

Lu Chengfeng sat for a long time, stood up and walked around: "Both surnamed Jiang, it seems that they must be siblings, Jiang Nanlian must have asked for a way to save her younger brother who should have been exiled or executed, so that he can be in the Sanju Right now, it means that there are people from him here, Jiang Nanlian died of illness, I'm afraid it's just silenced, but why should the silence be silenced? Why did you leave the capital for this season's ceremony?"

Zhuo San pondered for a moment, and just as he raised his head to speak, he met Lu Chengfeng's eyes, and both of them obviously thought of something.

Zhuo Sandao: "Ji Li and Jiang Nanlian should be the same master. This is to silence and go out of Beijing. It should be that the people behind something happened want to get out."

If Lu Chengfeng thought about it: "Recently, what happened in Yanjing is nothing more than the attempted assassination of King Su and the Xie family being framed for two major events..."

She paced to the front of the house, and there was silence in the garden, only the howling cold wind slammed into the night.

Zhuo San's eyes followed her outside the house.

"Speaking of the person behind the scenes, he has to bring up the account book. He wants the account book, or he wants to use it to blackmail the Fan family into his use. If that's the case, he wants a second-rank minister to obey his orders. This person has a lot of schemes. What? It is to put Xie and Fan's family to death, this second method will only be done if there is a deep hatred for these two families."

Lu Chengfeng turned around with a calm expression: "I'm more inclined to the first option, otherwise Ji Li wouldn't have tricked Fu Dan into helping him find the account books of the Fan family, which seemed unnecessary."

Zhuo San thought for a while, then said, "There is one more thing."

Lu Chengfeng looked over: "What?"

Zhuo San said: "I have learned about the situation of Jiang Liangma's office, there was a new batch of clerks there, around the beginning of summer, it is said that a clerk was hanged at home, Jiang Liang thought it was bad luck, so he changed everyone inside and outside. "

Lu Chengfeng's pupils shrank: "What's the name of Mazhuang?"

"Mind Mazhuang."

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help thinking.

This is really nowhere to find, and it takes no effort to get it.

The reason why Xie Jiuxiao died at the Qingshan Temple was because the groom who was temporarily replaced passed the news. The men in black disappeared without a trace, and their skills were not as good as Jin Yiwei. Lu Chengfeng later guessed that the Qingshan Temple was There are two groups of people who want Xie Jiuxiao, but one just wants to use him to restrain Xie Yunqian, while the other really wants to put someone to death.

If Xie Jiuxiao died at the knife of the man in black, who would be the biggest beneficiary of the whole thing?
Lu Chengfeng had no way of knowing, because the hearts of the people were all hidden quietly.

The groom is obviously not a member of Jin Yiwei, but how did Jin Yiwei get the news?
There is only one explanation, someone notified Han Shushan.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengfeng's eyes darkened.

Good trick!
Regardless of whether Xie Jiuxiao was dead or alive at the time, Xie's family put the account on Han Shushan's head. At that time, she was still a little puzzled, how could a colleague dare to send someone to assassinate so blatantly, and it turned out that he was also tricked !
Lu Chengfeng's eyes were cold: "I can see it, he is going to mess up Yanjing! It's just that things are beyond his expectations. Xie Yunqian resigned, the Fan family fell silent, and Jinyiwei fell again. In my hands, he was afraid of showing his tail, so he simply let Ji Liyuan go away to Yanjing, and killed Jiang Nanlian's mouth, the clues were cut off from here, even if someone suspected it, he would not be able to find anything."

Zhuo San lowered his eyes: "So, Ji Li is the only clue, he can't leave."

Lu Chengfeng sneered: "You go and watch, if he dares to sneak out these few days, he will be tied up directly."

Zhuo San obeyed and went out.

On the second day, Han Shushan brought all the news about Ji Li. Han Shushan checked it in detail and traced it back to his hometown in Tingzhou.

Ji Li has learned a lot since he was a child, and he was a well-known child prodigy in Tingzhou when he was a child. If things go on like this, it is only a matter of time before he is named on the gold list. On the way to participate in the scientific examination, he worked as a teacher in Tingzhou for several years, and went far away. After choosing this path, Ji Li's life should have been a simple life, but he accidentally became a guest of a certain state. , He taught many rich and noble children successively. Later, he was recommended to Yanjing and was favored by Xie Yunqian.

"Who was the person who recommended it at the beginning?"

Han Shushan said: "A local official, but he was dismissed last year because of corruption."

Lu Chengfeng pondered quietly.

Han Shushan said: "This is all I can find out about Ji Li. I have shown my sincerity. Are you going to play me again?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Why, the medicine strain is ready."

She pushed the prepared box to the table, Han Shushan's eyes suddenly became eager, and he stepped forward. After being tricked last time, he was obviously cautious this time. When he opened it, his face suddenly sank: "Why?" thing?"

The box is not a complete fairy grass.

Lu Chengfeng smiled, but there was no warmth in his voice: "For such an expensive medicine, as long as you do one thing, it's too cheap for you."

Han Shushan was teased again and again in her hands, suppressing his anger: "What else do you want me to do for you? Give it a good time!"

Lu Chengfeng looked down at the medicine plant, and laughed: "You didn't say it, I'm the one who makes the cattle and the horses? Now it seems that the credibility of your words is very low."

She reached out to get the box, and Han Shushan was about to put it away with a shudder in his heart. How could Lu Chengfeng do what he wanted, and pressed the other end with a cold smile in his eyes: "I advise you to be honest, otherwise Don't even try to get the half of the medicine today!"

Han Shushan gritted his teeth: "What exactly do you want?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "It's very simple, you should do something for me, I can't think of it right now, but if I need it, you have to help me with it."

Han Shushan sneered: "You mean, when will you think of another thing, when will I get the other half of the Immortal Grass? What if it is one year, two years, three years? Lu Chengfeng, you are really shrewd in your calculations." !"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, I say mine, and you don't have to agree."

How could he not agree!Shuning's illness can no longer be dragged on!

Han Shushan was forced to have red eyes, stared at it for a while, and finally said: "I agree!"
