Cui Zhen's sudden appearance made Master Cui Si a little unexpected. Master Cui Si froze there and then turned around and saluted Cui Zhen for a while.

"Mr. Marquis," said Master Cui Si, "Why haven't you rested yet?"

Cui Zhen said lightly: "The news came from the yamen. I caught a few people. I was about to go and see, where is the fourth brother?"

Cui Zhen didn't have to pass by him when he went to the front yard. It was obvious that Cui Zhen came to check his movements on purpose, and Master Cui Si felt a chill in his heart.

Mr. Cui Si deliberately lowered his head and refused to look at Cui Zhen: "I heard from the manager that there seemed to be something moving outside, and I'm not very relieved to go and take a look."

"Fourth brother, go back." Cui Zhen took a few steps forward.

Cui Zhen's tall figure came over like a mountain, making Master Cui Si take a step back.

Cui Zhen walked to Master Cui Si before continuing: "I'll deal with it."

Seeing Cui Zhen walking forward, Master Cui Si's hand hiding in his sleeve was tightly pinching it. He gritted his teeth and walked a few steps to chase him: "Who is the person caught by the yamen?"

Cui Zhen stopped: "I only realized after the trial, I guess it should be related to the case of Jinta Temple."

After saying this, Cui Zhen paused for a moment: "The Fourth Brother is very concerned about this matter."

"This is a case in Taiyuan Prefecture," said Mr. Cui Si. "Our Cui clan is here, so I... naturally miss it in my heart."

Cui Zhen turned his head and looked at Master Cui Si, with a bit of majesty in his eyes: "What else do you have to say to me?"

Mr. Cui Si pursed his lips, as if he wanted to speak but stopped, and finally shook his head: "There is nothing else."

"Then I'll leave first." Cui Zhen walked straight forward, and his tall figure quickly disappeared into the yard.

Mr. Cui Si put down the lantern in his hand, and his whole face fell into darkness, becoming extremely dark.

"Master, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Cui Si caught up with her, holding a cloak in her hand, "You always need to add more clothes when you go out."

Mr. Cui Si didn't say anything, turned around and returned to the room, sitting on the chair.

Mrs. Cui Si noticed something strange and immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Mr. Cui Si was thinking about something, but after a while, he raised his head: "I'm afraid the yamen will send me a question, so don't worry, just take care of two children at home."

Mrs. Cui's expression immediately froze on her face: "What are the masters going to do in the yamen? I'll send someone to ask my second brother to ask, he, the Tongzhi of Taiyuan Prefecture, was not a waste of time."

"It's all a trivial matter, don't involve your second brother," said Mr. Cui Si. "I will be back soon. As for the Marquis... if you ask you something, you can tell the truth."

"What will the marquis ask me? I..." Mrs. Cui Si looked confused, "Master, don't scare me, what's wrong? Have you angered the marquis? They are all from the Cui family. You have worked hard for the Cui family over the years. The marquis will also chant the monk's face without chanting the Buddha's face...and..."

Before Mrs. Cui could finish her words, she suddenly thought of something: "Master, have you touched the money in the clan?" She couldn't think of any big deal. The master was just in charge of the land in the clan.

Master Cui Si closed his eyes and the Marquis would help with small matters, but what about big matters? When it comes to major matters in the court, the Marquis would weigh the pros and cons, just like the Zhou family back then, and he was not going to be abandoned in the end. When the Marquis asked him just now, he said nothing. The Marquis was decisive in doing things because he was a child of the Cui family, so he gave him two opportunities, but he refused himself. Now the Marquis only knows how to do things in business.

"Fourth Master," said the manager again, "Mr. Please come over."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cui Si was stunned so quickly.

...

"The eldest lady was sweating all over when she was sleeping, so I'll get some water to wipe her body."

Baotong whispered to the manager's mother, and walked in with a basin of water.

Baotong twisted the towel and cleansed Gu Mingzhu's face: "Is it going well for Miss?"

Gu Mingzhu nodded. She had a great gain tonight. The most important thing was what Mrs. Chen said: Those who shouted for justice were wronged, and what she said in an anxious manner was usually true.

Then Asawei must have seen the clues, so he came to ask her, otherwise he would just have someone arrested Chen Pozi and Chen Er for interrogation.

The smell of asafoetida cannot be wiped off with a towel. Gu Mingzhu first took off the "abscess" she had posted, and then carefully washed her face twice before it was clean.

Baotong blinked: "Miss, have you met someone tonight? Is it so severe that I was investigated?" The lady would not easily use this medicine to cover it up.

Gu Mingzhu said: "It's the person I ran into Jinta Temple."

"That person is really annoying, and he stung the lady again and again." Although Baotong had never seen it, she had already felt the character of the lady from the stinky smell of the lady. There is no saying that it is better to smell it than to see it. She smelled it, but it was really smelly. If she had the chance to see that person, she would have to find a way to vent her anger for the lady.

After washing up, Gu Mingzhu lay on the bed. If she continued to investigate like this, the case in Taiyuan Prefecture would be solved. She heard the quarry man mention the updater. The updater walked all over the streets and alleys at night to patrol the night. If the updater colluded with bandits, the stealing would become simple.

Moreover, the quarrying man arrested today is most likely related to the dead soldiers in Jinta Temple, so the case can be almost finalized.

Quarrymen, bandits, murderers, pearl thieves.

Seven years ago, the Pearl Thieves stole Kuyin. One person decided not to take such a heavy Kyin away, let alone killing more than a dozen yamen servants. The yamen always believed that there were a group of accomplices around the "Pearl Thieves".

Will these quarrymen surfaced and be questioned as "Pearl Thieves" accomplices? Mr. Zhang did not reveal until his death that he was the "Pearl Thieves" of that year, so who would the hat of "Pearl Thieves" be worn on?

The case cannot be smooth like this. Some people will not let such a result happen. If you think about it carefully, the biggest variable should be the Wei family.

Empress Wei and the Imperial Concubine were incompatible, and it caused quite a stir when they were appointed as the crown prince. The old censors who had gone through two dynasties reported that although the eldest prince was the eldest son, they were not the legitimate son. The emperor was in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, so there was no need to rush to establish a crown prince. Even if the empress could not give birth to a legitimate son, she could adopt the prince to raise her under her body. The empress was virtuous and virtuous, and would definitely be able to raise a noble crown prince.

This statement directly points to the noble concubine who is from a humble background and is not qualified to raise the crown prince. She also implicitly said that the eldest prince is inappropriate in character.

This incident caused quite a stir, which once stopped the establishment of the crown prince.

It was not until the court found out that the censor who advised him was doing things for King Liang. The King Liang had ulterior motives and blocked the crown princes from the fact that the princes wanted to fight each other and cause chaos in the court. The Liang Palace also took the opportunity to take advantage of the troubled waters.

As a result, King Liang was punished and the eldest prince ascended the position of the Eastern Palace.

It seemed that everything was the plan of King Liang, but how could the Wei family stay out of the matter? The Wei family was hated even more by the imperial concubine party since then.

In the second prince's rebellion case five years ago, the imperial concubine party used this to eliminate the Wei family. The Wei family almost suffered a genocide disaster. If the emperor had not been loyal when he was in the Qiandi residence, he ordered people to investigate the matter, the Wei family would not have cleared the grievances.

After so much, Gu Mingzhu knew that the matter was never as simple as it seemed. The so-called emperor's "Gu Nian" kindness is just a cover. If the Wei family survived, there must be reasons behind it that people could not know about it.

Just like the reason why the second prince became the first prince to "rebellion" was because his mother not only had a humble origin, but also died early.

Now that the Wei family has come to Taiyuan Prefecture, they will inevitably confront the prince openly and secretly, and will not give up easily, especially those who are not fooled by Asahi.

It is very difficult for her to make trouble on the prince's territory. It would be great if she could take advantage of the situation. So, Asawei may not be incompatible with her, and she may also be able to do a good job.

Before returning to Gu's family, she asked Liu Su to send a message to Nie Chen to explore the details of Asafeti. I wonder if Nie Chen received it and if he could find the man successfully.

What a pity that she was going home so early, and now she can only wait for news quietly.

Gu Mingzhu yawned. Since there was nothing to do, let's have a nap. Thinking of her wrapping herself with a quilt, she twisted and leaned against the bed, and closed her eyes peacefully.

...

It was still dark, but the entire Yong'an Lane was illuminated by torches. The government office sent a lot of people to search for the hiding places of those people just now.

"Let's go!" Wei Yuanchen ordered Chu Jiu.

Chu Jiu nodded and would meet the yamen in a while if he didn't walk for a while. Chu Jiu waved his hand and all the guards dispersed. He immediately followed Wei Yuanchen's footsteps.

The two of them entered the small yard one by one.

Wei Yuanchen calmed down his hands, stood in front of the table and picked up the tea and drank it. A faint soap fragrance came from his fingers, and the smell of the medicinal herb "Awei" remained faintly.

When I first heard about this medicine, he was in prison, and Wei Yuanchen's eyes were slightly distant as if he had returned to that time.

“Afoetida, asafoetida.”

He suddenly heard the sound, thinking she was calling him.

"Dr. Sun said just now, it would be better to add asafoetida, you..."

The jailer ignored it.

"Awei is too expensive and will not give it to you." The doctor said to stop her.

The two of them said this gradually drifted away.

After coming out of prison, he went to the pharmacy to find out what this asafoetida was.

If it weren't for the injury that was too severe and the whole person was drowsy, he wouldn't have had such a misunderstanding, because she didn't know who he was at that time.

The court was afraid of the Wei family, fearing that the Wei family would be injustice and detain the Wei family separately, and the prisoners and people around him were not allowed to mention their identities. The court wanted to use their descendants of the Wei family to control the Wei family.

He was half fainted and half awake, and had no strength to speak. He lay in the prison like a dead person, so naturally he would not mention anything to others. Even if she saw his face, she would not be familiar with him. Not to mention that he would have been sick at that time, even if he stood in front of her glamorously as usual, she would not recognize him.

They had seen her several times, and he looked at her, but she never looked at her.

Wei Yuanchen took a sip of tea and pulled his thoughts out of his memories. Before he put down the tea cup in his hand, he narrowed his eyes, then stroked his fingers, and threw the short blade on his waist out of the sheath, and immediately heard the sound of dodging outside.

Chujiu also jumped out skillfully and immediately fought with the people in the yard.

After a few moves, an anxious voice outside said, "Sir, I'm here to investigate the case, don't kill me."

Nie Chen's neck was suppressed. The skillful little thin man in front of him was so good. If the elder knew about it, he would definitely feel embarrassed. Fortunately, he was never relying on force.

“Bring in.”
