The key to finding the cloth merchant lies in Yang Liangting.
Therefore, in order to rescue Yang Liangting, Lu Bai led people to the prefect's Yamen and sent a greeting card.
When the young man from the prefecture's Yamen saw that the person delivering the greeting card was a Qianhu, he did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly welcomed them in. After asking them to sit down, he went to the backyard to report.
Lu Bai and others sat down, and a maid served tea.
Erha was thirsty, so he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. Before he could decide on the Hong Tailang tea cup, another maid came up to make tea.
However, after waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, there was no movement in the backyard, and the maid did not come to serve tea.
Lu Bai glanced at Gu Qinghuan.
Gu Qinghuan had a smile in his eyes and was slowly tasting the tea in his hand.
After finishing the tea, Gu Qinghuan stood up and said, "Let's go, this prefect, I'm afraid he will say that he is not here."
Sure enough, as soon as they went out, the young boy who had just learned the lesson came over with an embarrassed look on his face: "Sir, I am very sorry. My lord went to the city lord's mansion and has not come back. When he comes back, I will definitely convey your visit to him."
give him."
Whoosh!
Gu Qinghuan opened the fan in his hand - of course it was not Lu Bai's fan.
She shook her fan and said, "There's no need to tell me. I believe your adults already know about it."
Ignoring the servant's embarrassed smile, everyone left the magistrate's office. After taking a few steps, Lu Baixin threw away the greeting card in his hand, "The magistrate doesn't dare to see me."
"More than dare!" Gu Qinghuan was certain that they had already told City Master Lu the news.
"Just tell me." Lu Bai didn't care.
He has offended the Lu family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one enemy of Yiqiu Villa. The lord of Yongle City will definitely pay special attention to him. Maybe they will be targeted when they first enter the city.
But what Lu Bai didn't expect was that in order not to offend City Lord Lu, the prefect didn't even see him.
"Why--"
Lu Bai shook his head. It seemed that the prefect's intervention had blocked the way to understand the case.
"What to do now?" Erha asked.
Hong Tailang still suggested the same thing, "Do as I say, let's get Yang Liangting out of prison directly. Uncle, if you don't want to do it, I will do it without anyone noticing."
"No!" Lu Bai decisively refused.
Now it is difficult for him to reach a higher level just by relying on merit points. He can only have a chance by solving crimes.
It's hard to come across a case in Yancheng now. It's hard to come across a case in Yongle City. Lu Bai can't be so hasty.
not to mention--
"I am Jin Yiwei Qianhu. I just went to visit the prison today. You are going to rob the prison tonight. Maybe the Jinyiwei will block our door tomorrow." Lu Bai believed that Qianhu and the city lord of Yongle City wanted to arrest him.
.
"Block the door, just block the door. You are in the Po Kong Realm, what are you afraid of?!" Hong Tailang said that the Po Kong Realm is so arrogant.
Lu Bai sent him two words: "Haha."
Again, Lu Bai's current level of improvement cannot be separated from solving crimes, and he cannot live without his identity as Jinyiwei.
Therefore, Lu Bai said: "We must solve this case for him in an upright manner!"
Since Lu Bai insisted, Erha and the others left their uncle to go.
But the crux of the problem is that this is not Yancheng, and Lu Baizi has no right to handle the case. It is very difficult to handle the case in an upright manner.
"You can't beat drums to complain, right?" Lu Bai thought.
Just when he was feeling worried, he walked around a street corner and met an old acquaintance - a former policeman with a gray head leading a few people over.
Back then, when Lu Bai was catching a serial murderer in Qingshui Town, the prefect asked the catcher to lead a few people to assist Lu Bai, and this young white-headed catcher was one of them.
Later, due to a sneak attack by the young monk, nine out of ten of the police officers at that time died, and the head catcher also died in the hands of the young monk.
The young and white-headed policeman survived, and became the policeman after he returned.
He is now a young and old man.
As a head catcher, Shao Baitou was obviously not qualified to know the grudges between Lu Bai and the Lord of Yongle City.
He looked at Lu Bai overjoyed, "Lu, Mr. Lu?!"
Lu Bai was the commander-in-chief at that time.
Shao Baitou thought that Lu Bai was still the commander-in-chief, just like he was still the head catcher.
Lu Bai's eyes lit up, "You, are you the one - Luo Yongcheng's head catcher?"
Yes, Luo Yongcheng is his name. Shao Baitou nodded, "Yes, yes, it's me."
He asked Lu Bai: "Mr. Lu Qi, why did you come to Yongle City today?"
They haven't seen each other for a while.
Lu Bai smiled and said, "I came to Yongle City to do something, just in time -"
He looked around and saw a restaurant not far away. He hurriedly pulled Luo Yongcheng towards the restaurant, "Just in time, I have something to ask you. Come on, let's go to the restaurant and talk while we eat."
Luo Yongcheng was flattered.
Lu Bai is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, and his future is limitless, but he is just a catcher, a catcher who will still be a catcher in ten years' time.
Their identities are very different.
However, Lu Bai invited him to dinner and asked him for help as soon as they met. This was very disrespectful of him.
Luo Yongcheng's waist straightened up suddenly, and he felt that he had a lot of face in front of his subordinates.
After sitting down, Luo Yongcheng patted his chest and promised, "Mr. Lu, please tell me everything I know."
Lu Bai said he was not in a hurry, "Let's order food and drinks first."
He called the waiter over and ordered a few side dishes with Luo Yongcheng. When it was Erha and Hong Tailang's turn to order, one of them wanted stewed dog meat mixed with minced garlic, and the other wanted rabbit meat. In the end, they teamed up
I want a big lamb chop.
They had just ordered the food, and before it was served, they were already reciting the name of the dish and their eyes turned green.
Luo Yongcheng saw this and thought that they were released from the cage after a few hungry meals, but he still said: "These two are really good at eating meat. They are good men."
"Ignore these two idiots." Lu Bai invited Luo Yongcheng to drink, and at the same time introduced Gu Qinghuan, "This is—my brother."
Luo Yongcheng was stunned for a moment, then praised: "Mr. Lu's brother is really handsome."
But he was murmuring in his heart, this person has picturesque features, delicate skin and tender flesh, and an unmistakable elegance in her gestures. There is a faint fragrance lingering wherever she passes. She is clearly a woman of great power.
However, Lu Bai didn't point it out, and Luo Yongcheng didn't say much.
They exchanged greetings for a while, exchanged glasses for a few rounds, and then Lu Bai asked: "Captain Luo, there is Yang Liangting locked up in the cell of the prefect's Yamen. Do you know this person?"
Luo Yongcheng nodded, "I know, why, he is your relative?"
Lu Bai was noncommittal, "Do you know the inside story of his case?"
Luo Yongcheng stopped eating, considered it carefully, and used alcohol to cover up his vigilance. Finally, he asked carefully: "Mr. Lu, are you here for this case?"
Lu Bai shook his head, "No, this Yang Liangting is my old friend. I was very surprised to hear that he killed his father and mother, but I thought he was not such a person, so I asked."
Lu Bai offered him a glass of wine and lowered his voice to get to the point, "I heard that there was a turnaround in his case?"
After Luo Yongcheng hesitated for a moment, he nodded slowly.
He also lowered his voice, "Mr. Lu, I advise you to leave this case alone. This case has become a solid case."
Ironclad case?
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, "How is this case so ironclad?"
"All the evidence has been destroyed, and now there are only two pieces of evidence. One is the confession from neighbors who saw him setting the fire; the other is his signature and signature admitting that he set the fire." Luo Yongcheng said.
Lu Bai tapped the wine glass gently, "So, there is a hidden secret in this case?"
Luo Yongcheng nodded, but did not want to say more. He also advised Lu Bai not to interfere.
Lu Bai nodded and said: "Since the case has become a solid case and all the evidence has disappeared, even if I want to overturn the case for him, I'm afraid I won't be able to overturn it."
However, Lu Bai was really curious, "In this case, the only one who is free is a fox demon, and it shouldn't have much involvement with the higher-ups. So, who is it that made this case final?"
Luo Yongcheng hesitated again.
He felt that what Lu Bai just said was right, and there was really no possibility for Lu Bai to overturn the verdict or intervene, so he dipped his hand in wine and wrote the word "西" on the table, "It will be done as he wishes."
Admiral of the West Factory!
Lu Bai and Gu Qinghuan looked at each other. They never imagined that this matter had something to do with the Admiral of Xichang.
"strangeness!"
After seeing Luo Yongcheng off, Lu Bai and his group were walking down the street at home.
On the way, Lu Bai was puzzled.
In this case, regardless of Yang Liangting or Luo Yongcheng, in their narratives, the only beneficiaries were the fox demons and had nothing to do with Xichang.
Why did Xichang intervene in this case?
Could it be that Xichang is colluding with this fox demon?
While Lu Bai was thinking about it, Erha suddenly said: "We are being targeted."
Lu Bai knew it even if he didn't look back.
They have been targeted for a long time.
Gu Qinghuan, who had not spoken for a long time, stopped and said, "We have to get rid of them and then go to the Beggar Clan. I have something to do."
Lu Bai was surprised, "Is it important?"
Gu Qinghuan nodded slightly, "It's very important."
"Okay." Lu Bai put his arms around Gu Qinghuan's waist and ordered Erha and Hong Tailang, "You two go back to Shunfeng Warehouse in Qingshui Town. Remember, don't act rashly."
Hong Tailang nodded, "Brother, don't worry, I will help you take care of Erha."
After saying that, the red wave suddenly disappeared in a flash.
"Why should you be optimistic about me——"
Erha's depressed words floated in the air, but no one was there.
The people following behind were stunned and confused when Lu Bai held Gu Qinghuan in his arms and disappeared in a flash, leaving only a leaf falling on the empty street.
For masters of the Sky Breaking Realm, it's that simple to evade tracking.
A few seconds later, Lu Bai appeared on a long street with Gu Qinghuan in his arms.
There were many pedestrians on the street, but no one was following them.
There was only one child, holding a candied haws in his hand. Seeing their sudden appearance, his eyes widened for a moment and he froze on the spot.
Lu Bai smiled at him and pulled Gu Qinghuan on his way.
The Beggar Clan Yongle City branch is not far away.
On the way, Lu Qinghuan asked Lu Bai, "You keep saying that you want to solve the case and solve the case. I'm thinking that maybe Yancheng is no longer suitable for you and you should move away."
Gu Qinghuan didn't know that Lu Bai would become stronger if he solved the case, but after seeing Lu Bai looking for the case all day long, he knew that he wanted to solve the case.
Lu Bai nodded, "Indeed, Yancheng is too peaceful."
His improvement has been stagnant for several months. For Lu Bai, who is used to constantly improving himself, this is abnormal.
Of course, peace in Yancheng does not mean peace in the world.
There are still many cases outside, but as Jinyiwei Qianhu, he doesn't leave just because he wants to.
But Gu Qinghuan had a way.
She asked Lu Bai to wait. Today she was going to kill two birds with one stone.
As for Yang Liangting’s case——
Gu Qinghuan felt that if Lu Bai wanted to redress Yang Liangting's case in a legal way, he could only find the culprit, the fox demon, and make her plead guilty.
So, after entering the Beggars' Gang branch, Gu Qinghuan quickly got busy.
She asked the Beggar Clan elders to mobilize all the Beggar Clan disciples in Yongle City to immediately check the origin and whereabouts of the Xichang Admiral to see if he had seen any girls.
Gu Qinghuan asked the Beggar Clan disciples to send the information to her tomorrow morning no matter how much information they found.
After finishing these tasks, Gu Qinghuan and Lu Bai returned to Qingshui Town.
Erha and Hong Tailang had come back early and were sitting bored. When they saw Lu Bai and Lu Qinghuan coming back, they hurriedly greeted them.
Lu Qinghuan didn't bother to talk to them anymore. She locked herself in the study room and didn't come out until late at night.
Lu Bai was still awake. When he saw her coming out, he hurriedly greeted her, "What have you been doing? You're so mysterious."
Gu Qinghuan didn't say much.
She put a stack of papers in Lu Bai's hand and asked him to go out immediately and spread the papers throughout the city.
Lu Bai was confused, looked down and saw the "Message to the People of Yongle" written on it, "What is this?"
Gu Qinghuan stretched and said, "This is a weapon that allows you to enter the capital and always solve cases. You will know the specific content and its use tomorrow. Send it out now."
Just as Lu Bai was about to leave, Gu Qinghuan warned: "By the way, don't let anyone see it. Also, try to send it to a remote place."
Lu Bai was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he went to the next room to pull Hong Tailang out, and together they disappeared into the night.
These items were distributed quickly.
When Lu Bai came back, Lu Qinghuan was already asleep. Although he was full of doubts, he didn't ask in a hurry. Instead, he simply washed up, entered Gu Qinghuan's room, and fell directly into her bed to sleep.
The next day.
When Lu Bai woke up, Lu Qinghuan had woken up early. She was sitting on a chair, reading the information sent by the Beggar Gang overnight.
As she turned the pages, she murmured: "It's just as I expected."
Lu Bai stretched out and sat up from the bed, "What's not as you expected?"
"As I expected, the fox demon should be on the boat owned by Admiral Xichang." Gu Qinghuan walked to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, handed the information to Lu Bai, and then moved his fingers in circles on his abdominal muscles.
Lu Bai glanced at the information and said, "The Beggar Clan disciples collected it in quite detail."
"Not bad." Gu Qinghuan sat on the bed and spread out the love papers one by one on Lu Bai, "At least I found the information I wanted. For example, the Admiral of Xichang, he is no stranger to Yongle City.
."
"How do you say it?" Lu Bai asked.
Gu Qinghuan handed him a piece of paper, "This Admiral of Xichang, his godfather is the Duke of Xichang."
The current Xichang Changgong once served as the admiral in Yongle City.
More than ten years ago, after massacring the people who fled south from Shuobei City, as well as the young monk and Duan Zhifu's family, he was transferred away.
Later, in just ten years, he was promoted to the director of Xichang Factory.
"This Lord Admiral was also in Yongle City at that time." Gu Qinghuan said.
"That's good enough. They can dig it out?" Lu Bai was proud of his disciples of the Beggar Clan.
Gu Qinghuan tapped his abdominal muscles with her foot and said unhappily: "I gave them the direction and asked them directly to investigate the relationship between the admiral and the factory owner, so they found it with twice the result with half the effort."
She looks like a little daughter acting coquettishly.
