The crown prince's favorite girl, she found another good match

Chapter 100 Disappointment and Despair

Day two.

Li Baojia slept too late yesterday and didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she didn't understand why she appeared in bed.

After sitting up and putting on her shoes, Lu Yi came in and said, "Miss, are you up? Come out and have lunch."

Li Baojia was surprised. She actually slept until noon?

When I opened the window, I saw that the sun was already hanging high in the sky, and the flowers and plants below were completely sunburned.

Luyi chose a horse-faced pair of ice silk and silver thread for her, with light green gauze armor on top, and two small green bells on her hair, which looked quite refreshing.

She walked out of the back room, and Zhao Yi was already waiting for her outside. She sat down and picked up her chopsticks. After taking a few bites, someone came from below to report that the murderer had been found.

Li Baojia immediately stood up and wanted to take a look. Zhao Yi said, "Go after you finish eating."

She had no choice but to sit down and cook her rice slowly, thinking about this while eating.

I didn't expect that the government office here would be so fast and efficient.

The magistrates of each state in Jozhao are the largest, but only in terms of administration, military power and case security, etc., are in the hands of the government offices of each city.

The highest official position in the government office is called Fucheng, which is in charge of local criminal and prison investigations. In the capital, it is affiliated to the Ministry of War. Like the prefect, it is generally a matter of course.

It seems that this government office has nothing to do with the Lin family. The investigation was carried out vigorously and resolutely. I thought that when it came to big families like the Lin family in Pingcheng, they would protect them.

After finishing their meal, the two of them got into the carriage and headed to the government office.

After getting off the carriage and going in unobstructed, Li Baojia felt strange. Liu Fucheng, who was sitting on top, hurriedly came down and saluted Zhao Yi: "Your Highness is a thousand years old. The matter has been resolved. Please follow me." Come."

It turned out that he belonged to Zhao Yi.

However, officials like Fucheng who are in charge of local military power are directly under Zhao Yi's control, regardless of their official position.

After all, for a country, the most important thing is military power.

She also picked up her skirt and followed her. Liu Fucheng had obviously been told about it early and didn't ask her about her identity.

Walking all the way to a cell door, Liu Fucheng waved, and a yamen officer came forward and unlocked the door, revealing a man covered in blood inside.

He forced his eyes half open and looked very depressed. As expected, there were several black and blue scars on his arms under the torn clothes.

It seems that the death penalty is used, most of the prisons are like this, some are torture methods, no matter how tough a man is here, he can't stand it.

Liu Fucheng had someone pour cold water on him to wake him up and said, "If you want to ask a question, please tell me what you said again."

As soon as the man raised his head, Li Baojia felt that he looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, wasn't this the housekeeper who stood behind Mr. Lin when they went to the Lin Mansion that day?

Is this matter really related to Mr. Lin?

The popular man Ruo Yousi said: "Sir, I really don't know much... I killed the young master, but it was the master's order."

Liu Fucheng said: "Tell me the ins and outs of that day in detail."

"That day, the master said that the young master can't stay any longer and would reveal the secret. He asked me to tell the young master that his mother's belongings were left in the room, and let him go back to get them."

"The master had already ordered him to be killed, so I covered him with a pillow while he was bending down to look for something. I struggled in the room before holding him down. The master was watching from the side, and he The struggle was too severe, so the master came over to help press it down. Who would have thought that as soon as the master came over, he stopped struggling, and after a few minutes he became completely motionless."

"The master said that there are too many people going out now, and he wants me to tidy up the room, and then dispose of the corpse in a few days... that's all I know... Please give me a good time, masters."

Anyway, he wouldn't survive if he went out and betrayed the Lin Mansion, so he might as well die here happily.

Liu Fucheng said: "Sir, he probably only knows this much and can't ask anything else. Why don't you invite Mr. Lin here?"

Zhao Yi stood at the door, blocking most of the light from the door. He stood there with his hands behind his back. The backlight made it difficult to see his expression. He said, "No need."

It was useless to invite him. If a servant said it, he could be said to have been framed. Even if he refused to acknowledge the government, they could not do anything to him. After all, the Lin family was considered a powerful family, and they rashly went to arrest a mere idiot. To alert the snake.

He should soon find out that the body is missing, and he will naturally do something to reveal the truth.

Li Baojia was silent for a long time and didn't speak. Zhao Yi saw that she looked wrong and asked, "Jiajia is not feeling well? The smell in here is a bit unpleasant, why don't you go out and wait."

Li Baojia shook his head and said, "I just feel sad. As soon as Mr. Lin came over and pressed him, he stopped struggling. He must have lost the desire to live."

His father came over and held his hand so that the man below could attack him.

At that time, Lin Fengli was so disappointed and desperate that she stopped struggling and waited quietly for death.

Zhao Yi didn't expect that she would even think about this. He stroked her head soothingly and said, "That's why the person who harmed him should be punished, right?"

Li Baojia nodded, and then felt something was wrong.

In her opinion, Zhao Yike was not a person who would mind such nosy matters at all.

When did he become so kind?

After all, Xia Lin had come to report this morning, saying that all the cargo unloaded from the problematic ships last night had been secretly transported to the Mei family.

In other words, the Mei family is the transfer station here that colludes with the previous government to transport illegal salt. Whether it is account books or other, all the evidence points to the Mei family. It can be said that the Lin family has nothing to do with this matter.

Why would he bother to investigate such a human life case?
This is really strange.

Zhao Yi saw her suspicious eyes and smiled: "Why does Jiajia look at me like this?"

Li Baojia said: "I just think it's strange that you would care about such a thing."

Zhao Yi stared at her with unclear meaning and said, "There's nothing surprising. Jiajia's business is my business."

Liu Fucheng, who was standing next to him, gave a rather meaningful look. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness, who was so noble and noble, chased after the girl. He was just like ordinary people like them, he chose nice things to say and was courteous.

Although Li Baojia had a gut feeling that there was something else that she didn't know about, she still nodded for now.

-

On the other side, Xia Lin led hundreds of people from the government office to surround the entrance of Mei Mansion. People nearby were so frightened by the fight that they locked their doors and refused to come out.

Soon everyone in the Mei Mansion was kicked out, and all the family members were crowded outside on the small flat ground.

Mr. Mei was crying sadly, and the female relatives next to him were holding handkerchiefs and crying. Mr. Mei was not as high-spirited as the previous few days: "What on earth did we commit? We get into a fight just because we disagree."

Xia Lin directly took out a bright yellow handwriting and said: "You are suspected of rebellion. His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that the entire Mei family should be brought to Dali Temple in the capital for trial. They will be escorted by Xing Chao and will set off at noon tomorrow."
