Chapter 2 Seeing Suzaku for the first time

On this day, Li Mizong wore ordinary clothes and secretly visited the east side of the city for a long time, but there was no result.

At noon, I found a nearby tavern, ordered two dishes, and ordered another pot of wine. While drinking, I was paying attention to the people coming and going in the tavern, a man in gorgeous clothes, attracted his attention.

Because the east of the city is a place where poor people gather, most people wear simple clothes, but this person's clothes are of good satin. There is a folding fan next to him and a jade pendant hanging on the folding fan, which seems to be not a mediocre person.

This person is about twenty years old, with white and greasy skin on his hands and face, and a pretty face. At first glance, you can tell that he is not an ordinary person, but rather like a young master from a wealthy family.

This rich young master is sitting alone at a table, with three pairs of chopsticks and four cold dishes on the table, and hot dishes are also delivered one after another. I think it is a treat, but the guests have not arrived yet.

Li Mizong remembered what Manager Lin said about the playboy who bought the injury medicine and couldn't help but stay in the gods.

Not long after, two people arrived one after another and sat on the man's table.

The two of them who came sat on both sides of the man. Judging from their appearance, clothing, and status, they seemed to be servants of this man.

The two of them whispered to the young master for a while. The man nodded and said something to the two, as if they were arranging them to do things.

There were so many noisy people in the tavern, and the three of them whispered deliberately. Li Mizong concentrated his energy and did not hear a word. Then the two of them buried their heads in their meals, but the three of them stopped talking. Li Mizong also paid attention while eating.

Soon, two servants who looked like servants finished eating and left in a hurry.

This young master and young man only drank some wine and did not eat much.

Li Mizong saw him suddenly standing up and guessed that he was going to pay the bill and leave. However, this person came straight to his desk and said, "Is it possible for you to ask Li Mizong of the Ministry of Justice? I would like to invite Lord Li to come over and talk."

Seeing that the other party called him by his name, but he didn't know the other party's identity. Whether out of curiosity or wondering whether it was related to the Duanmu Yingyang case, he could not refuse, so he said, "I don't know what my friend calls me? How do you know my name?"

The man said, "Please come over and talk about it in detail, and I will naturally tell you." Li Mizong asked the waiter to move the wine and food to the other party, and sat down opposite the person.

As soon as he sat down, he heard the man say, "I wonder if Lord Li came from Duanmu Yingyang's case?"

Li Mizong was shocked and did not know the other party's identity, so he did not dare to answer rashly for a moment.

This gentleman said, "Well, I was so reckless about my question. I haven't told me about my identity yet. My surname is Zhu and my name is Que. I am a friend of the second son of the royal family. I know that Lord Li is a colleague of Duanmu Yingyang. He must have appeared here because of this matter. I dared to guess, please don't be surprised."

Li Mijun suddenly realized that since the Duanmu Yingyang case was involved in the royal palace, no matter whether the people in the royal palace were related to this case, there was no reason to ignore it.

The second young master Su Wen is smart and capable. If such a case has nothing to do with it, for the sake of the reputation of the royal family, someone will be sent to investigate the case to the end. If it is related to this case, then this person appears here at this time, and I am afraid that some people will have bad intentions. The name Zhuque is very familiar, but I can't remember where I have heard of it for a while.

This Zhuque seemed to be able to see his mind and said, "Please don't misunderstand that Duanmu Yingyang's death has nothing to do with the second young master. I came to investigate this matter, and I was afraid that it was not a coincidence that a strange thing happened in the royal palace recently, and it was probably not unrelated to this matter, so I found out here."

Li Mizong wanted to ask what was strange, but he thought that the secret matters of the royal palace were not appropriate. Therefore, he wanted to speak but stopped. Zhuque checked Yan Zhiyi and said, "The second young master wanted me to thoroughly investigate this matter, just to make people know the innocence of the royal palace. Therefore, I would like to hear the opinions of Lord Li in the strange matters of the royal palace."

Li Mizong was all focused on Zhuque's name. He didn't hear anything he said for a while. Suddenly, his heart moved and remembered who he was.

Around the Qingming Festival last year, a case of frame-up occurred in Handan County. The Handan County government imprisoned Gu Sheng, the wronged man, to prison. Gu Sheng's father went to the yamen to seek justice. He was scolded and roared at the court and was shackled outside the yamen for three days.

Gu Sheng's father was old and could not bear the torture. After half a day, he fainted, but the magistrate, the magistrate, had no sympathy at all.

Many people say that Mr. Guan was so ruthless when he accepted other people's money. Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng's father was replaced that night.

The next morning, the onlookers discovered that the person wearing shackles had become the magistrate and the magistrate. The servants in the county government took a lot of effort to open the shackles. When someone asked him what was going on, he felt inexplicably confused and said that he was sleeping well at home. When he woke up, he put on the shackles and appeared at the yamen. However, Gu Sheng's father disappeared.

Mr. Guan thought it was Gu Sheng who was a traitor, so he brought Gu Sheng from prison to court for strict trial, but Gu Sheng took the letter written by the person who falsely accused him, rehabilitated the unjust case and released it on the spot.

Shortly after Gu Sheng was released, it was reported that the incident was caused by a man named Zhuque in the world. As for how he replaced the person and how he received the letter of false accusation to Gu Sheng in the prison, it is unknown, but Zhuque's name spread in everyone's ears.

Another incident was that in Wudi County, Shandong, there was a bully named Zhou Zheng. In Yumao Village, many people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. Later, they bullied their neighbor Sun Xiucai. Sun Xiucai was adjacent to his house. In order to expand the house courtyard, Zhou Zheng occupied Sun Xiucai's house.

Sun Xiucai wanted to report to the official position, but was stopped by Zhou Zheng halfway. He broke his leg in front of Sun Xiucai's old mother. Sun Xiucai's old mother was frightened and held her breath, so she fell ill when she returned.

Everyone around them knew about this, but they dared not speak out.

More than a month have passed. Sun Xiucai and his mother were lying in a room with only one room left, relying on the kind neighbors to send some food to make a living. Zhou Zheng suddenly summoned his neighbors everywhere and knelt down before the two of them. In front of everyone, he confessed that he was not right. He also invited a doctor to treat his mother and son, and built a big house for Sun Xiucai again, promising that he would not bully his neighbors in the future.

Later, according to Zhou Zheng's drinking, this matter was also done by a man named Zhuque. As for how to do it, I don't know much about it.

There are many such things. Li Mizong had heard of them before, thinking that they were heard by ignorant villagers, or that Zhuque was a man who was fabricated and entrusted with the good wishes of the weak people.

I didn't expect to see Zhuque himself today, a young man who looks like a young man, and I don't know how he has something to do with the prince of the royal family.
