Su Huai has rushed back from the capital. Although he went through an inexplicable jail time, he seems to be in good spirits.

Seeing Li Xu and Sun Chong coming to greet them, Su Huai was filled with emotion. He couldn't help but stepped forward and patted Li Xu on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work these days."

Li Xu bent down and saluted: "Teacher, don't say that. There is very little I can do in this case."

Su Huai had already heard about it in Beijing. After Wang Yun came to Fengxiang, he found out the truth of the case. The Xu family seemed to have helped, and the Anyi Marquis Mansion was considered to have killed relatives in a righteous manner, and the merits and demerits were balanced.

Thinking of this, Su Huai looked guilty: "This matter actually has nothing to do with the Marquis. Back then, I only cared about fighting with the rebels. How could I take care of the affairs of the clan? After all, it was my fault. If I hadn't found the person who was led by the rebels,

The tax money I took away will not leave any trouble, and I have already apologized to the court."

In fact, Su Huai was seriously injured at that time, and he was able to support and cooperate with the imperial army to attack the city, which was his best effort.

"So many things happened, and the teacher didn't expect it."

Li Xu asked Su Huai to sit down and rest. Su Huai picked up the water bag and took a sip and said: "On my way back, I received another document saying that Mrs. Guangping Hou was a spy of Duo Gansi. The officials ordered me to travel back day and night.

Go to Shaanxi and sort out the case documents."

Sun Chong said: "Not only that, they also suspected Lord Wang Yun."

Su Huai was even more surprised. Wang Yun was a well-known honest official. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Li Xu: "What is going on? Tell me carefully."

Su Huai listened to the entire case and looked at Li Xu with complex eyes: "Do you also think that Wang Yun did this?"

Li Xu's eyes were clear: "I'm not sure. I can't convict anyone until the case is clear."

Sun Chong nodded aside.

Su Huai pondered: "But there is indeed something fishy. As the prefect, why did Wang Yun lead you all the way here? It seems that a case is expected to happen. If I were to handle it, I should have sent Sun Chong to protect it secretly, and the torture chambers from various places along the way would assist.

If you know that someone is spying on the female relatives of the Marquis of Anyi, you will not use them as bait to lure the murderer. This is an inappropriate approach.

As for the case of the Chen brothers you mentioned, there are also many doubts. It has not been verified whether the two are brothers. Since what is written in the marriage documents is not consistent with what Chen Changle said, not to mention that Chen Changle broke into the house first and committed the murder. The evidence is conclusive.

Why not interrogate Chen Changle first?"

Li Xu said: "But these can only prove Wang Yun's negligence in handling the case."

Su Huai nodded. You can't accuse anyone without evidence, especially someone with an official reputation like Wang Yun. Even if you question him, you will get angry.

You need to be more careful when handling such cases.

This is why there are many serious cases that no one wants to touch even if they are suppressed for decades.

After experiencing the disaster in prison, Su Huai's mind has changed somewhat from before. No matter how careful he is, disaster will happen.

Li Xu said: "Teacher has just returned to Shaanxi. You can start by carefully checking the documents of these cases to see if there are any errors or omissions. If there is a reliable person in the Ministry of Punishment, we can call upon all the cases that Mr. Wang Yun has handled over the years. The student is willing to lead someone."

Go to the place where the crime occurred and review the case again."

Su Huai looked at Li Xu in surprise: "This is a hard job."

Li Xu bowed: "As long as it can be beneficial to the case, no matter what results are found, whether the person can be brought to justice, or whether his innocence can be proven, all the efforts will be considered in vain."

Su Huai nodded: "After the Fengxiang case, I recommended you to the court. You worked hard for me this time, and the Minister of Civil Affairs also praised you a lot. The court is in the midst of hiring people, and I should be able to find a position for you soon."

Que'er, if you want to investigate the case now, just take my post and I will make appropriate arrangements. If anyone asks, just say you are my student."

Li Xu sent Su Huai on horseback.

Zhou Yue said: "Are we going to leave next?"

Li Xu turned to look at the official road: "First catch up with the carriage of the Marquis of Anyi. I have a few words to say to the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyi."

…

Xu Qinghuan listened to the sound coming from the carriage in front.

Xu Qingan sat on his horse dejectedly, still playing with a rabbit made of straw in his hand.

In addition to being able to sleep for two hours a day, Mr. Xian would make troubles non-stop. Xu Qingan tried all his methods, but he could not win Mr. Xian's "favor".

Wine, Mr. Xian spit it out after taking one sip.

No matter how good the meal is, it will turn into pig food in front of Master Xian. When he is full, he will spit it out.

Is it possible that he needs to buy a woman back?

Thinking of this, Xu Qing'an couldn't help but spit on himself. In front of his mother and sister, how could he think of such a trivial thing and avoid them?

Xu Qingan slapped himself in the mouth.

Mr. Xian may be really crazy. If my sister cannot find clues from Mr. Xian, what should I do if she returns to the capital?

Xu Qing'an touched his hard butt. He couldn't do anything else. He was beaten dozens of times for his sister, and his father probably lost his temper. They didn't do anything else. The court couldn't hold women and children accountable.

Thinking of this, the car curtain was blown open again, Master Xian held out half of his head with his mouth open, Xu Qingan handed over the little rabbit in his hand, Master Xian opened his mouth wide and bit the little rabbit.

Xu Qing'an was about to sigh when he heard someone say: "Masters, would you like a bowl of tea? It's water from the mountain springs nearby. It's sweet and quenches your thirst."

The little child came forward carrying the basket with a smile on his face.

Before Xu Qing'an could speak, he heard Lord Xian shouting and his whole body seemed to be stimulated by something. He threw forward and half of him was about to fall out of the carriage.

The child was startled, took a few steps back, dropped the basket in his hand, and spilled all the tea in the bowl.

There was a woman standing in a teahouse on the street. She was so frightened when she saw such a situation. She was afraid that her child would disturb these noble people, so she immediately stepped forward and beat you: "What are you doing...useless thing? I'll beat you to death. Every day."

It will only cause trouble..."

"I didn't, I didn't..." The child cried and hid, his face full of pleading, "Don't hit me, I was wrong... I was wrong."

The child cried violently, and Master Xian's expression became increasingly ferocious. His eyes widened, and he bumped against the carriage with his head stretched out.

"Boom, boom, boom."

There was also a howling sound coming from his throat.

Mr. Xian's situation caused the entire motorcade to stop. The woman did not dare to speak anymore and subconsciously protected her child behind her.

"Auntie, here's the tea money. Let's go!" Meng Lingyun stepped forward to take care of it.

The woman didn't dare to accept the money. She just said, "It's fine if you don't blame me. It's fine if you don't blame me." She hurriedly took the child and fled into the teahouse.

Mr. Xian exhausted all his strength and gradually calmed down. When Xu Qingan got out of the carriage, his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother." Xu Qinghuan hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief.

The soft handkerchief was fragrant, and when Xu Qingan saw his sister caring about him so much, he felt that most of his fatigue had gone away.

"I thought it was better, but I didn't expect..." Xu Qing'an couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

Xu Qinghuan turned to look at the teahouse. It was obvious that Mr. Xian's sudden madness was related to the child's crying. Xu Qinghuan's eyes darkened slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind.

There was a rapid sound of horse hooves.

Not far away, two horses were approaching.

Feng Chu was about to help Xu Qinghuan get into the carriage to escape.

"No need." Xu Qinghuan had already seen clearly the people coming, they were Li Xu and Zhou Yue.

"Miss Xu," Li Xu jumped off the horse and looked at her with bright eyes, "Can you treat us to two cups of tea?"
