Gu Mingzhu held her chin and thought about the cause and effect of the whole thing.

When she was in her room, she didn't have to pretend to be stupid, and sat leisurely on the brocade, her long hair scattered softly, and the warm light reflected her slim figure.

Baotong stood aside and looked at the lady. She felt that the lady was getting more and more beautiful. She followed her wife to the inner houses of many high-ranking officials and noble families. None of them were as good as her own lady. Her eyes were clear and bright, and she looked very knowledgeable. The lady's book was indeed in vain. If she also read with the lady, would she become beautiful?

Thinking of Shu, Baotong started fighting with eyelids. It seemed that she was not suitable. Who said she had eye disease?

"Baotong, I'm leaving just dawn tomorrow."

"Ah!" Baotong immediately became energetic, "Then will the lady stop sleeping tonight?" At least she should show that she can't sleep so that she can't "replenish her sleep" in a open and open manner during the day.

Gu Mingzhu nodded.

Baotong said, "Then I told my wife, Miss, you can't sleep. You are probably tired at the Cui family." Who told Mrs. Lin and the manager's mother to call the lady over and ask for so long, the lady would definitely be exhausted physically and mentally.

She was tired but couldn't sleep. She was indeed not a normal person. Gu Mingzhu said, "I sent someone to Cui's house and said I was clamoring to eat the pastries in Mrs. Lin's house."

She doesn't want to work hard on her own cook, so she will blame the Cui family!

Mrs. Lin stared at the Marquis Huaiyuan's mansion every day, and wanted to pull her father into the water all the time, so she would definitely meet these small requirements.

Gu Mingzhu stretched and rested for a while before making a fuss about "not sleeping", and there must be many people who can't sleep tonight.

...

There was a "boom" sound.

Mrs. Lin was startled and immediately opened her eyes, shouting loudly to the manager's mother: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"Thunder," the manager Yu's mother replied immediately, "You can sleep with peace of mind!"

"It's going to rain?" Mrs. Lin was a little anxious. If it rained, what else would you do to the rituals of the ancestral grave?

Mother Yu comforted Mrs. Lin: "It hasn't started yet. Even if it is down, it will be sunny tomorrow morning. Such a loud thunder should be too heavy."

Hope so.

Mrs. Lin clasped her hands together: "God blessed me, God, don't ruin my affairs at this time, don't rain, don't rain..." She seemed to have experienced this in 81 difficulties.

"Good things are so good," said Yu's mother, "You can rest with peace of mind, I'm staring outside."

Mrs. Lin leaned on the lead pillow, how could she sleep? She worked hard all the way and rushed to Taiyuan Mansion. As soon as she entered the door, something happened. She cheered up and checked the whole family, but there was no result. Just as she was about to take a break, her unscrupulous sister sent someone to say that Zhuzhu couldn't sleep and wanted to eat the pastries in her house.

This is not a place to ask for pastries, it is just a complaint that she shouldn't have called Zhuzhu to ask questions.

Everyone came to make things difficult for her, how could she still sleep?

Mrs. Lin told Mom Yu: "When Brother Zhen was not coming back outside, you left as soon as the sky was dawn. Focus on the situation on the ancestral tomb. You must let them do it properly and never let others discover you."

Mother Yu responded and served Mrs. Lin's tea. Then she walked out. She closed the door and looked up at the sky. There was another thunder coming from afar, which made people frightened. She also hoped that everything would go well.

...

Cui Zhen sat upright in the office of the government office, and the case in front of him was piled up high. He frowned slightly and stared at the document in his hand and looked carefully.

The document records the situation of Taiyuan Prefecture's earthquake. The earthquake has become more and more frequent in recent years, and there have been several earthquakes and many people who have been injured. They are all middle-aged men.

As he had previously guessed, this was related to quarrying, and today they went to the stolen stolen place where they were hiding.

The clues were connected in this way. The thief told him that the place where the stolen goods had his intention and wanted to induce him to find out the case, but the stolen goods were not in the cave. It was because someone took the stolen goods away in advance, so they were lost.

He carefully asked the scout to check it out, and there were no footprints near the cave, which was the result of careful cleaning.

The person who took things must stand to the left with the person who led him to solve the case, and he became a pawn involved.

Cui Zhen slapped the table with a palm. Cui Wei next to him was startled and immediately stood up: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Cui Zhen said nothing. He had to be careful everywhere if he had military power in his hand, and would be attracted and used. When he made military achievements and was valued by the court, he thought clearly that he must not surrender to anyone until the last moment. Instead, he should accumulate his strength as much as possible and accumulate his own strength, so that he can ensure that the Cui family stands firm at any time.

Whether it is the crown prince or several princes, before the time comes to truly assassinate the throne, the court situation may change at any time. If you are easily involved, you will put the entire Cui family in a doomed place.

So every time there was a little sign, he would destroy everything invisibly. This time, not only did he fail to take the initiative, but he was also plotted by both parties.

"Brother." Cui Wei shouted anxiously again.

Cui Zhen came back from his thoughts: "There are problems in those three villages. There are very few men in the village. They all said they died of earthquakes. I checked the documents of the government office and found the bodies were far from the number of people who were removed from the household registration. The government office only used the "number of buried people" to describe them. What if those people were not buried?"

Cui Wei said: "Brother meant that the strong men were hidden? These people deliberately hid in the mountains and became bandits."

This is the result that the person who led him to investigate the case wanted, so that he could find out all the cases and catch the hiding people.

Cui Zhen looked at Cui Wei and said, "Today, we searched around the village, which has alarmed the people in the village. Maybe they will report to those hiding in the mountains overnight. Regardless of whether these hiding people are bandits or not, they will take them down and interrogate first.

Some people wanted to use people from Yong'an Lane to solve the case, but they were repeatedly blocked, which shows that they have been targeted.

The court sent the Wei family to Taiyuan, but Wei Yuanchen never showed up."

Cui Wei understood: "Brother suspected that the stolen goods were not found in the cave and were related to Wei Yuanchen?"

Cui Zhen nodded: "Wei Yuanchen is an imperial envoy. He found clues and could go directly to Tianting. The case in Taiyuan cannot be hidden, so we have been trapped in a long time ago and cannot get out of it easily.

Since this is the case, it is better to take the initiative and use our Cui family’s reputation in Taiyuan Prefecture to exchange for the trust of the people and let them tell the truth. As long as we get the evidence and key clues, no matter who wants to figure out the case, we cannot avoid us. If we have nothing in our hands, we cannot negotiate with others.

When we reach the last step, we first find out the case. Even if we are criticized, we will be dedicated to the people."

Cui Wei understood: "This is a dangerous move. If the Taiyuan incident is inseparable from the prince, our Cui family will have to get into evil with the prince."

"It involves so many people, and it is related to mines and war horses," Cui Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, "As long as the case is found out, the emperor will also doubt the prince's intentions. If the emperor wants to punish the prince, the Cui family will definitely be safe."

As for why such a situation occurs, it is the result of the battle between the prince and the Wei family.

Cui Zhen had long thought of this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Taiyuan Prefecture. If he had controlled the troops for so many years, if he had easily fallen into a trap set by others, he would not have had the situation of the Cui family today.

The Cui clan all flourished again with his support.

Cui Wei called the deputy general at the door to enter: "No matter what, we will immediately lead troops to the village to arrest people."

The Cui brothers were in charge of the troops in the government office, and the news reached Lu Shenzhi's ears.

Lu Shenzhi couldn't help but clench his hands. Is Dingning Hou going to those villages? Cui Zhen must have found some clues.

What should he do? When he heard the news from Miss Gu, he remembered the shop of the Wei family in Taiyuan Mansion, so he asked someone to send a famous post to the shop.

He didn't know if the person in Miss Gu's mouth was Wei Yuanchen, he was just giving it a try.

After delivering the famous post, he kept waiting for the news. Unexpectedly, the Cui family took action first. Lu Shenzhi pursed his lips and could not wait any longer.

Even if he took risks, he should inform and let those who were hiding in the mountains escape immediately.

Thinking of this, Lu Shenzhi made up his mind to turn around and walk out of the house, hurriedly leading the horse out of the door. He was about to turn over the horse, but he felt a chill behind his back, and then a pain in his neck, and his body fell down softly.

...

The sky is getting brighter.

The city gates were wide open, and more and more people were traveling between inside and outside the city.

After a night of thunder, no drops of rain fell. The streets were dry, and only a little damp smell came from the air.

"It's better to have a rainfall when the sky is so cloudy."

Everyone was talking.

"I can't put it in, and it will be sunny in a while."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard another thunder sound coming from the sky.

"It's thunder again, it's going to rain."

I don’t know how long it took, someone shouted: “No, there was a fire on the mountain outside the city. Go and let someone put out the fire.”

Hearing this, everyone rushed out of the city, and sure enough, wisps of black smoke emerged from the green mountains not far away.

"Where is the ancestral tomb of the Cui family in Dingning Marquis' Mansion? There is also a sacrifice hall at the entrance. I have seen it before. The sacrifice hall is so big and it is really grand."

"Don't it be that the sacrificial hall is on fire, right? That's not a good sign."

"Did the Cui family's ancestral tomb be struck by lightning?"

Everyone looked at each other, what did they do to attract lightning.

"What are you still standing there?" Seeing this, the officers and soldiers guarding the city immediately greeted everyone, "Come with me to put out the fire."

...

The Cui family’s ancestral home.

"Not good."

The manager's mother stumbled into Mrs. Lin's yard.

Mrs. Lin frowned, put down the teacup in her hand, and scolded: "What are you doing so recklessly."
