Zhao Gongren looked at the manager, and the manager immediately stepped forward and whispered.

"Good man," said the manager of the Lin family, "You asked us to go to my uncle's shop to get things. There was a murder case on the shop, and the shopkeeper and the friend were killed."

Zhao Gongren was shocked: "How could such a thing happen?"

The manager of the Lin family said: "When we arrived at the shop, the shop had not opened yet. We called for a long time, but no one responded. After waiting for a while, no one came. I asked someone to jump into the backyard to see the situation. I found that the shopkeeper and the friend were tied to the house..."

The manager of the Lin family dared not recall the scene.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and everyone was dead.

"The house is messy, and it seems that it has been thieves."

Zhao Gongren was cold and frowning: "Then... besides the shopkeeper and the client, are there anyone else in the shop?" As she said that, she glanced at Cui Zhen. Just now, Chia'er accidentally let her say something. I wonder if Dingning Hou would hold on to this matter tightly. Although it was the shop of the second brother, the second brother might not be here.

"No more," said the manager of the Lin family, "I have asked the servant to report to the official."

Zhao Gongren secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, my second brother was fine, so he was waiting for the yamen to investigate the case. Maybe he was really a villain who was seeking life for money.

Cui Zhen looked at Zhao Gongren: "Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Don't go, don't go."

A tender voice came.

Before Zhao Gongren could speak, Lin Runzhi was in a hurry to speak.

Cui Zhen looked over the sound and saw Lin Runzhi and Zhuzhu standing not far away. Zhuzhu's face did not change much. Lin Runzhi's body trembled and showed a look of horror.

"Oh," Lin Runzhi's maid Qiusui hurried forward, "Second Master, let's stop here, let's go out!"

Lin Runzhi nodded and looked at Gu Mingzhu, but Gu Mingzhu had no intention of leaving and was still throwing her cloth bag there.

"Why don't you take the second master out quickly?" Zhao Gongren couldn't help but urge.

Qiusui took Lin Runzhi's hand and was about to walk out.

"Wait," Cui Zhen called Lin Runzhi, "Come on, brother, ask you a few words."

Lin Runzhi held her hands nervously and looked at Zhao Gongren for help.

Zhao Gongren said, "Chie Ge'er didn't sleep well and was not feeling well. What does the Marquis have to say? Let's ask me next day!"

Cui Zhen didn't say anything, and kept looking at Lin Runzhi, with unquestionable majesty in his eyes. Lin Runzhi seemed to be fixed in place and could not move at all.

Cui Zhen walked towards Lin Runzhi: "Brother asked you, when did you meet your second uncle?"

Lin Runzhi's lips were buzzing and she was at a loss.

Chujiu looked at the situation in the Gu family's yard and found that no matter what happened, Miss Gu was immersed in her own play, and nothing happened outside had to do with her.

But occasionally... she will accidentally make mistakes.

With a bang, the cloth bag hit the porcelain jar in the corner.

Chujiu praised it, it was a good smash. At this time, a little movement would make the atmosphere in the room even more tense.

Miss Gu is a blessed person and always takes it so well.

Lin Runzhi was startled and wanted to leave the yard immediately: "Yesterday... no... no... I didn't see my second uncle."

Zhao Gongren was angry that he would not fight. If she had known this would happen, she would not have brought Chigo out.

"You go down and rest!"

Cui Zhen moved his eyes away, Lin Runzhi felt relieved and asked Qiusui to walk out.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Gongren complained to Cui Zhen, "Why do you have to ask these questions? We have never seen them before, can you still lie to you?"

Cui Zhen sat back on the chair. Although neither Zhao Gongren nor his son admitted it, Lin Runzhi's expression confirmed that Zhao's mother was not lying.

Cui Zhen ordered the manager outside: "I asked someone to find Mr. Zhao Er. How could he not come forward if something happened to his shop?"

"Mr. Marquis," Zhao Gongren panicked, "The person is not in Taiyuan Mansion at all. How do you find him? Do you want to send someone to Songjiang Mansion?"

Cui Zhen ignored Zhao Gongren's rebuttal and said, "There are a lot of things happening in Taiyuan Mansion recently, so my aunt needs to be careful. If there is nothing else, go back to Shaanxi as soon as possible!"

After Cui Zhen finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, and stopped at the door: "You can't interfere in the war horse case. It's better not to inquire about it anymore. My uncle finally got to this day, so don't get into trouble because of it. If you know any clues, it's best to say it earlier. Now that the imperial envoy Wei is in Taiyuan Prefecture, he can find out the prefect Han, and he probably can't escape his eyes."

Zhao Gongren shivered when he thought of Lord Wei's cold gaze. He waited until Cui Zhen walked out and collapsed on the chair.

The people in the yard seemed to have walked out.

Zhao Gongren murmured to himself: "Where did the second brother go? There must be nothing wrong, right? Amitabha Buddha blesses the second brother to return to Songjiang Mansion smoothly."

Gu Mingzhu sat on the corridor. Why is Zhao Gongren so afraid that others will know that Mr. Zhao Er is in Taiyuan Prefecture?

Zhao Gongren is so nervous about the war horse case, and this second master Zhao must be related to the war horse case.

Gu Mingzhu carefully considered the war horse case.

On the surface, my father was convicted and came to Shanxi and found that there were a large number of war horses in Xingtaipu Temple in Shanxi, so he invited the court to come and read the horses. He did not want the war horses to be stolen at this time, and the war horse case officially kicked off.

Now they learned that the so-called stolen war horses were a stolen. There were not so many horses at the Xingtaipu Temple in Shanxi at that time, and they framed them to cover up the facts.

My father calculated the amount of war horses using forage and horse manure, how much horses should eat as much as they should be, and how much horse manure should be discharged every day. This cannot deceive people and will not make any mistakes.

In other words, there were indeed so many horses in Xingtaipu Temple at that time, but when the imperial court came to read the horses, the horses disappeared.

She had previously suspected that it was Xing Taipu Temple who deliberately made some such horses to count in order to deal with Shangguan. Unexpectedly, the court would really come to read the horses. These inferior horses could not stand the inspection and would be seen through soon, so they had to pretend that the war horses were lost and they would be punished by the court for deceiving them.

If you follow this idea, you can continue to think about it.

She guessed that Han Yu would collude with officials from Taipu Temple and reported the number of horses more to ask the court for more forage. It would be a sum of money to sell the excess forage, and then slowly report the loss of war horses during the breeding process. Unexpectedly, when his father came to Shanxi, they had to use inferior horses to make up for the number. As a result, his father asked the court to read the horses again. This matter could not be concealed, so the bandit case was found.

That's true.

Why is Zhao Gongren so concerned about the war horse case? It means that there is no silver here.

Moreover, Han Yu was so anxious to admit his guilt, as if he was covering up something, and perhaps there was something inside.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't sit still anymore, wondering how Nie Chen was looking for it? She wanted to see the shop where the Zhao family had a murder case with her own eyes, and the most important thing was to find Mr. Zhao Er.

Lord Wei is sick, and he should not be energetic to stare at her. So can she change her identity and follow Nie Chen to investigate the case?

No matter what, I shouldn’t meet Lord Wei!

Gu Mingzhu looked at Baotong: "Send a letter to Liu Su, I want to go out."

...

Wei Yuanchen looked at the document in his hand and Han Yu admitted that the matter of war horses was because he falsely reported the amount of fodder he fed horses to greedy for the horses. The horses had to eat grass all day, especially war horses.

A war horse consumes a lot in a year, and this money is indeed enviable. However, Han Yu asked Mr. Ding to open so many iron mountain mines. Isn’t it easier for Han Yu to mine more than to greedy for ink and forage?

Han Yu is covering up.

Wei Yuanchen put down the document, Feng Anping swallowed and said, "Master Wei can take away the stolen goods placed in my house, right?"

Looking at the money, he couldn't sleep all day long, afraid that he would lose it.

"Actually," Feng Anping said, "If there is such a thing, the adults can put the money in the Gu family to ensure safety."
