night.
Lin Bai had just finished taking a medicinal bath, and felt that his whole body was full of strength, and a certain part was ready to move.
The look in his eyes also became a little different.
Zhuiyue on the side clearly noticed something, her pretty face turned red.
"Aunt...Uncle, I'm going back to my room first."
"Go!"
Lin Bai blinked, "My uncle will go over and ask you something later."
Hearing this, Zhuiyue's face turned even redder, like two big apples. She was so shy that she didn't even dare to raise her head.
But at this moment, Ji Xiaofeng suddenly came in a hurry.
"Sir, something happened. Just now, Mr. Liu Mingguang was killed at home."
Lin Bai:......
Liu family.
Liu Mingguang's wives and concubines were crying.
Liu Mingguang is Mr. Liu who is being punished today. He had read Lin Bai's book before when Lin Bai was still in the Ministry of Works. Anyway, he was looking for someone to question.
Lin Bai went to look for him and vented his anger, unexpectedly...
After taking a look at the scene, Lin Bai asked, "Are there any clues?"
I just questioned him during the day and was killed at night.
This is obviously not right.
Could this be the so-called follow-up action? Is it too fast? Are the people behind you in a hurry? It seems like I haven’t fished much either!
Ji Xiaofeng said: "Looking at the situation at the scene, the murderer should be very experienced and left no clues."
"But, we found this."
With that said, Ji Xiaofeng handed over a letter.
Lin Bai opened it and frowned immediately. The content of the letter was very simple and straightforward. It was written by Liu Mingguang to Fan Renli, the Minister of Civil Affairs, asking the other party to take action against him.
That's right!
The content of the letter was that Liu Mingguang was unhappy with being beaten today and wanted to take revenge on Lin Bai, so he asked Fan Renli to help. He mentioned in words that if he didn't take action at this time, what happened back then might be exposed.
The letter is both straightforward and cryptic.
To be straightforward is to say clearly that what happened back then was related to Fan Renli, but to be vague is to say that it is not clear how it is related. 33
Everything remains to be verified.
Lin Bai asked: "What do you think?"
Ji Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "The letter may be fake."
"Oh! Why do you say that?"
Ji Xiaofeng said: "Although the handwriting of the letter is correct, there is no problem, but Liu Mingguang has been an official in the court for nearly 20 years and is considered a veteran. Most things like this will not be conveyed through letters, leaving no trace."
"If he wants to deal with Sir, he should go directly to Sir Fan. I suspect that this letter is most likely left by the murderer."
Lin Bai asked again: "What's the purpose?"
Ji Xiaofeng thought for a while, "Either he is targeting Mr. Fan, or..."
He didn't say anything further, but the meaning was obvious, either to frame the fault or it was true.
Lin Bai said: "It seems that Mr. Fan is not on that list, right?"
Ji Xiaofeng nodded, "Indeed, Master Fan is a scholar, not a guard of the Prince's Mansion, nor is he in the Prince's Mansion."
Lin Bai said: "But Concubine De is here."
Ji Xiaofeng said: "Yes! Concubine De was already the crown prince's concubine at that time."
Therefore, it may not be impossible if it is not on the list.
Lin Bai asked again: "Then do you think this is a frame-up or something?"
Ji Xiaofeng said hurriedly: "I don't know."
He looked like he didn't know, and he clearly didn't dare to say anything. It's no wonder that Fan Renli is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a high-ranking official in the imperial court, a cabinet minister, the brother of Concubine De, and the uncle of the third prince. His status is extraordinary. generally.
When such a big shot is involved, the best way is to pretend not to know.
Lin Bai did not embarrass him and asked, "Has the news of Liu Mingguang's murder been leaked?"
Ji Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "Probably not. I am following your orders. Those officials who have asked questions are being watched by the people below to see if they will make the next move."
"After Liu Mingguang was killed, the people below got the news immediately and sealed off the Liu family."
Lin Bai nodded, "Very good! Then keep it sealed and let the news go out, saying that Liu Mingguang has been detained by my officer and the Liu family has been thoroughly investigated."
Ji Xiaofeng's eyes lit up and he understood instantly, "Follow your orders!"
Lin Bai looked around again, "Let's take care of this, but we'll talk about it when we get back."
Ministry of Punishment.
Lin Bai was looking at the list.
Now it seems that this list is just superficial. It is not certain who orders the people on it.
well! This is a hard job, wouldn't it be nice to eat soft rice? So much trouble.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
The key is tonight, originally...
Why is it so difficult to get through to a girl's room? There are always so many things going on at critical moments. Is it possible that God is blocking her?
Have you eaten too much soft food?
No, try Caiyun next time.
Just when the talented man was distracted, Zhou Yunlong also arrived.
"Sir, is it time to arrest someone?"
Zhou Yunlong said directly.
Lin Bai rolled his eyes, "Catch who?"
Zhou Yunlong replied: "Of course it's Fan Renli, hasn't Liu Mingguang already stopped asking for it?"
Damn it, you are worthy of being the Night King, you are just as domineering.
A dignified second-rank official of the imperial court was arrested on the spot? And there’s no damn evidence, just a forged letter, that’s great!
Ji Xiaofeng was more sensible and said: "It's too early to arrest people now, and it's still unclear whether it's frame-up or not."
Lin Bai looked at him and asked, "Which of the people on the list has a closer relationship with Fan Renli, or perhaps with the Third Prince?"
Ji Xiaofeng looked at the list and said: "Many of the people above are no longer here due to assignments or other reasons. Who has the best relationship with Lord Fan, it should be Lan Yutian, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army."
"They were classmates, and..."
Feilongwei is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and knows the past of these officials very well.
It’s just that they are all big guys. .
As a fourth-grade official, my appearance seems a bit underwhelming!
have to! I checked it first and then said it. It was endorsed by the emperor, so I'm afraid of being a hairball.
I just have to investigate and see what happens when the time comes. The emperor decided that there are two great gods behind him anyway, so don’t panic!
Lin Bai immediately said: "Then let's start with him."
at the same time.
The news that Liu Mingguang was under investigation and that the Liu family was blocked has spread. After all, the higher authorities are investigating this matter, and some people with ulterior motives have been keeping a close eye on it for a long time.
Fan Renli had a gloomy face at this time. Opposite him was Lan Yutian, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army.
"Master Fan, the matter will not be revealed, right?"
An anxious look appeared on Lan Yutian's face, "I heard from my subordinates that the only person who was looked for today was Liu Mingguang who was detained. This bastard won't..."
Fan Renli said: "It's impossible. Telling this matter will not do him any good."
Lan Yutian said: "Then what's going on? How about we confess to His Majesty? It was you who said back then that as long as you kill that woman, the Night King will definitely anger the late Emperor, and father and son will break up, and then Your Majesty will be as stable as Mount Tai."
"Everything we do is for His Majesty, and His Majesty may not blame us."
Fan Renli said: "Your Majesty may not blame him, but what about the Night King?"
…
Some people died, but not completely...
