Governor Zhao respectfully invited Li Zhiyun into the lobby. After the two of them sat down separately, the Yamen servant served them tea. Zhao Changlin looked at Li Zhiyun and said, "Your Majesty, is there any progress in the case of the murder of the whole family outside the building?" Li Zhiyun asked.

: “An accomplice was caught,

It's a pity that he died." Governor Zhao said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is personally in charge. I believe that the case will be solved and the real culprit will be captured soon." Li Zhiyun said without comment, "Chief Zhao, can you recognize the building staff?" Zhao Changlin shook his head.

, said: "I don't know."

Li Zhiyun changed the subject and said: "Prince Zhao, Sun Fen is your subordinate, right?" Zhao Changlin nodded and said: "Why, he is also suspected?" Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "That's not true, but

, I would like to ask, how is this person?" Zhao Changlin pondered for a moment and said: "He is a fairly upright man, and he is also very diligent in doing errands. He does not seem to be a cunning and unruly person."

"Can you find him? I want to have a chat with him."

"What's so difficult about this?" Governor Zhao said, and said to the Yamen servant on the side, "Go and find Sun Xingshen quickly." After the Yamen servant left, Governor Zhao picked up a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, please."

Li Zhiyun and Governor Zhao were drinking tea and chatting. After a while, a man walked in from outside the lobby. He looked to be in his twenties, of medium height, with a strong build, and a heroic spirit between his brows and eyes.

As soon as the governor of Zhao saw the person coming, he stood up and said: "Sun Xingshen, come here quickly to see the King of Chu." Li Zhiyun also stood up. Sun Fen walked up to him, clasped his fists and said: "Sun Xingshen, who is joining the army, comes to see the King of Chu!"

Li Zhiyun returned the courtesy and said: "Sun Xingshen, please take a seat." Governor Zhao smiled and said: "My lord, let's talk. I have official business to attend to, so I can't accompany you."

"Okay, go and do your work."

After Governor Zhao left, Li Zhiyun cast his gaze on Sun Fen's face and said straight to the point: "Sun Xingcan, do you know Aunt Liu?"

"Aunt Liu?" After hearing this, Sun Fen shook his head blankly, "I don't know you because of my humble position."

"But Master Zhi of Lianxin Temple said that she took in Aunt Liu because of your support."

When Sun Fen heard this, he hurriedly said: "The prince is talking about that woman. The prince does not know something. He does not know this woman. A few days ago, he went to the temple on Cuiping Mountain to offer incense. When he came to a dangerous place, he saw a woman.

The woman wanted to jump off the cliff, but the humble minister stepped forward to stop her and asked her why

She committed suicide. She said that she originally wanted to become a nun, but the nunnery wouldn't accept her, so she decided to do this because she was desperate. She felt pity for her and didn't want her to lose her life at such a young age. It happened that the owner of the nunnery and the nunnery didn't accept her.

We are acquainted with each other, so I helped her negotiate my love."

It turns out that this is what happened. What Sun Fen said was not inconsistent with what the nunnery master said. After listening, Li Zhiyun stood up and said, "Sun Xingcan, excuse me."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

After Li Zhiyun greeted Governor Zhao, he took his people and left the state government office. When he walked to the street, he turned to Zhang Zheng and said: "Go find Biejia Junsong and ask him to take you to the state capital to build the treasury."

.Sun Fen is an official of the state government, his files should be in the cabinet library, you can check his original documents." Zhang Zheng took the order and left.

When it was time to have dinner, Zhang Zheng came back and said to Li Zhiyun: "Sun Fen's original address is Anping Township, Yongshou County." After hearing this, Li Zhiyun nodded and asked him to call Cai Hu over. When Cai Hu arrived,

Li Zhiyun put his mouth next to his ear and said a few words, and Cai Hu nodded repeatedly.

Early the next morning, Cai Hu packed his bags and took out a horse from the stable. After he took the horse and left the King of Chu's Inn, he rode out of Pizhou City and headed straight for Yongshou County.

Li Zhiyun stayed in Pizhou City and had nothing else to do except inquire about the operation of inns and wineries. He just wandered around the city and outside. On this day, the weather was fine, and he said to Zhang Zheng: "Let's go

Let’s go out of town and walk the horses.”

After several people came to the stable, Li Zhiyun saw that the bay red horse he often rode was competing for food with a white horse next to it. The two horses were kicking each other. He took a closer look and remembered that the white horse was fighting.

It was brought back from the stable of the building member's wife's house.

Li Zhiyun wanted to change the horse to ride, so he pointed to the white horse and said to the guard: "Let's ride it today." Zhang Zheng on the side said: "No one has ridden this horse, and no one knows its temperament. In case it is too temperamental."

Lie, be careful to throw you." Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "My riding skills are no worse than yours now, no matter how fierce it is, I can tame it."

The guards brought the saddles and prepared the horses. Li Zhiyun led the horses out of the inn, and then put the stirrups on the horses. A few people left the city from the south gate. Not far away, there was a flat and open grassland in front of them. Everyone rode their horses.

Mercedes-Benz, the cool breeze blows on your face, which is very comfortable.

After riding for a while, seven or eight horses came from the opposite direction. The people on the horses were all military men. The leader was Sang Xianhe, the marching commander. When Sang Xianhe saw Li Zhiyun, he stopped and got off the horse, turned over and dismounted, and walked away.

Came over.

Li Zhiyun also stopped his horse and got off. Sang Xianhe walked up to him, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, General, you are so polite. Are you coming to walk the horse too?" After Li Zhiyun returned the courtesy, he said, "General Sang, what have you been busy with recently?

Woolen cloth?"

"Hey, I am stationed in this city of Pizhou. I have no battles to fight. I can only train soldiers. In my free time, I can go hunting in the mountains and have a good time."

While the two were talking, Sang Xianhe noticed Li Zhiyun's mount and said, "Your Majesty, your horse belongs to Governor Zhao, right?"

"Oh? Why? Do you know this horse?"

"My lord, look," Sang Xianhe walked up to the white horse and pointed at the horse's eyes. "This horse is all white except for a few small black spots under its two eyes. It is commonly known as the 'teardrop horse'."

Although this kind of horse is not very expensive, it is very rare. I saw Governor Zhao riding it, so I knew it was his horse."

Li Zhiyun was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "General Sang, what do you think of Governor Zhao?" Sang Xianhe pondered for a moment and said, "He is a capable minister and official. He manages Pizhou in an orderly manner and is well-known among the people. This is

The prosperity of the Pizhou market must have been witnessed by the prince himself." After hearing this, Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "It's indeed good."

Li Zhiyun returned to Chuwang Inn. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Cai Hu's yellow gelding tied to a jujube tree in the yard. Cai Hu was back? Li Zhiyun perked up and immediately walked to the guest room. He had just walked in the door

He met Cai Hu in the hall. As soon as Cai Hu saw him, he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I'm back." Yongshou County is more than a hundred miles away from Pizhou City. Cai Hu worked hard and ran back and forth in three days.

"How is the situation?" Li Zhiyun asked eagerly.

"I went to Sun Fen's hometown village, found his original neighbors, and showed them their portraits. Your Majesty guessed right, Sun Fen and Aunt Liu are indeed brothers and sisters."

When Li Zhiyun heard this, his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed. After chatting with Sun Fen that day, he did not believe what Sun Fen said. The social experience he brought from his previous life told him not to trust others easily at any time.

Something spit out of his mouth. Besides, after he saw Sun Fen,

He always felt that Sun Fen had some similarities with Liu Gu, not in appearance, but in demeanor and eyes. After all, there was something in the blood that could not be concealed. At first, he thought he had solved the case.

He was too eager and too sensitive. Now it seems that his judgment was correct.

Li Zhiyun pondered for a moment and said with a serious face: "Sun Fen said he didn't know Aunt Liu. He was obviously lying. There must be something hidden in it." He turned to Zhang Zheng and said, "You must summon twenty people immediately and follow me to arrest him.

Sun Fen." Zhang Zheng clasped his fists and said, "Yes!" After saying that, he turned and walked away.

In a moment, the twenty guards were summoned. Li Zhiyun mounted his horse and led everyone out of the inn and went straight to the state government office. When they arrived at the gate of the state government office, everyone rushed in regardless of the government officials' obstruction. A government servant followed Li Zhiyun.

behind

He begged: "My lord, who do you want to see? Let me go in and report. If you break in like this, the governor will punish us." Li Zhiyun stopped and glared: "I am performing official duties. If I am delayed,

I’m asking you!”

Just as he was talking, Jun Song came out of a room. When he saw Li Zhiyun, he quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"I am looking for Sun Fen, where are the others?"

"Sun Fen? I didn't see him. He doesn't seem to be here today."

Li Zhiyun waved his hand and said: "Let's all search separately. Every room must be searched." Upon hearing this, the guards immediately rushed into each official house and brought all the officials who were on errands in the room to the courtyard. Li Zhiyun took a look and found that indeed

There was no Sun Fen. He turned to Du Song and said, "Where is Governor Zhao?"

"He went out early in the morning."

Li Zhiyun thought for a moment and said, "You said Sun Fen didn't come, do you know where he lives?" Jun Song nodded.

"Lead the way." Li Zhiyun said and asked someone to bring a horse to Jun Song.

Jun Jun did not dare to disobey, so he led the horse and followed Li Zhiyun and the others out of the gate. After he got on the horse, he led the way and led everyone straight to Sun Fen's residence.

The group of people crossed two streets and entered an alley. Jun Song pointed to a house on the left and said: "That's that house." Everyone got off their horses in front of the courtyard gate, and Li Zhiyun asked the guards to clear the entire courtyard.

Surrounded.

The door of the house was closed, and Cai Hu stepped forward to knock on the door. But after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door. Li Zhiyun said: "Stop knocking, open the door!" Upon hearing this, Cai Hu kicked the door open with a strong kick, and everyone burst into action.

Rush in.

Surrounded by many guards, Li Zhiyun walked through the courtyard and walked into the main room with the door open. As soon as he entered, Cai Hu pointed to a table against the wall and said, "Your Majesty, look." Li Zhiyun turned around and took a look.

, I saw only one person lying on the table.

He walked over and a guard lifted the man's head. Li Zhiyun took a look and saw that it was Sun Fen. Blood was flowing from his nose and the corners of his mouth. Li Zhiyun tried it with his fingers and found that he was no longer breathing.

Cai Hu said: "Your Majesty, do you want to inform County Magistrate Wang and ask him to bring the widower for an autopsy?"

"What else is there to test? This is obviously poisoned!" Li Zhiyun's voice rose an octave. When he saw Cai Hu lowering his head and making no sound, he realized that he was too uncool, so he slowed down and said, "

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten angry. Well, you send someone to inform Magistrate Wang."

Li Zhiyun looked around and said to the guards surrounding him: "Search every room to see if you can find any stolen goods, and don't leave the yard alone, especially if there are any traces of recent digging.
