"That day, they were having an argument here?"

".........It was probably in this area. It was dark and I couldn't see clearly."

"The general should recall carefully. This is the command of His Majesty to come down here to investigate the case. The one over there is the Minister of Justice!"

"I really don't know much about it. Zhang Huaiyi from the Shence Army stopped me, and I only remember that it was not far ahead."

......

In the cross-examination voice, Li Shunjie nodded to the general of Tongguan. He was very brave, but not stupid. This man obviously did not want to tell the truth. He probably knew that Zhang Huaiyi was quite powerful in the Shence Army and did not dare to offend him at will, so he chose not to help each other.

Li Shunjie bowed to him, his eyes turned away. The surrounding mountains were winding, and the sound of birds echoed in the forests. He turned over and rushed towards the direction of slaughtering right and wrong. He walked around the business trip on the official road, and finally found that he and more than a dozen constables stopped in front of him.

"Can you find it?"

Li Shunjie turned over and got off the horse. Tu Shifei, who was squatting on the ground, was rubbing the dirt on his fingertips, putting them under his nose, and frowned.

"There is a smell of wood ash. The fire here is burned, and it should be where the guard said."

Prime Minister Cui Yin disappeared, and robbers appeared in Chang'an City, which involved Qin Huaimian, the Minister of Personnel, Zhang Huaiyi, the Chief Executive, and Zhu Wen, the King of Dongping. No one would believe this was a coincidence.

The Tushishi was from the headquarters and was extremely sensitive to criminal investigation and arrest. That day, he also received a letter from Geng Qing, knowing that the other party had come to Chang'an, and each of the people involved had something to do with him.

The woman who was robbed was his sister-in-law.

‘If the robber is really Cui Xiang, then there will be a lot of danger, but why did Cui Xiang do this? How could King Dongping appear here?’

The more he knew the truth, the more mysteries confused Tu. Li Shunjie's voice asked again in his ears. He pressed his complicated thoughts, stood up and looked around, and looked towards Tongguan again.

"The guard Yan, Zhang Huaiyi came from the valley over there. The King of Dongping's troops were in front of him again, so the robbers could only stay here, kill the people and take the corpse away. We returned without success this time. If the corpse was not brought, we could only leave it in one place."

Around the stock exchange, Tu Shifei's eyes finally stopped at a forest on the side: "The woods are wet and are hit by the Yellow River, which can accelerate the decay of the corpse. Go to the woods over there!"

Li Shunjie understood the hint in his words, and knew in his heart that the robbers who died might be Prime Minister Cui Yin, and immediately ordered two hundred soldiers under his command to go into the forest to search inch by inch.

The forest is not big, so the fallen leaves will naturally not be too thick. If the place that has been flipped over will definitely be very different from other places. After all, the time has not been too long.

In less than an hour, I immediately noticed that a constable shouted: "The fallen leaves here are too thin, and there are many traces of rats and ants digging holes on the ground!"

The sun shone into the mottled forest, and a group of soldiers flocked over. Li Shunjie strode forward, looked at the ground, looked at Tu Shifen, and then waved, "Dig apart here!"

A detective ran out of the forest and found several hoes. Several people worked together to dig the soil open. The buried it was not very deep. Soon the back of one hand was exposed. The thick water mixed with the soil showed a foul odor mixed with the soil.

A soldier was pushed forward and wiped away the sticky soil above the corpse. The corpse below had already appeared as a giant, and it was very swollen. There were dense maggots wriggling under the cortex, but the outline of the human appearance could be roughly visible.

"It's not Cui Xiang, dig again!"

Upon hearing this, the soldier took the scarf of his neck to cover his mouth and nose, and digged it hard around. More and more corpses were dug out, dozens of them, and they were carried out one by one and arranged in the forest.

Li Shunjie, even though he was used to blood, he was unbearable in the face of this stench. He covered his mouth and nose and observed it one by one.

Suddenly, the two stopped and stood in front of a corpse full of dirt. The sticky muddy robes were extremely expensive and could not be worn by the robbers. They immediately took the wine bag, poured the wine on their faces, endured the disgust, and wiped the mud away.

Li Shunjie gritted his teeth and looked back at Tu who was looking at him. The two nodded tacitly. The body was Cui Yin.

At present, since the robber is Cui Yin, everything has come to light.

Geng Qing must have done it. Tu Shi Fei thought so, but he didn't say it out loud. He was also worried that once he said it out loud, would everything he had done before be shaken out?

Then your future will be ruined, and your wife and children at home may not be enough to cut them down.

"General Li, the so-called robber is Cui Xiang, and there are more and more suspicious points." After coming out of Lin Zi, Tu Shifei directly amplified the suspicious points on Cui Yin, "Why did he appear here in Chang'an, why did he kidnap a mother and son? Why did King Dongping kill him here?"

Li Shunjie held the reins and was a little bit by him, and this doubt arose in his heart, but after all, he was not the head of the Ministry of Justice and he didn't want to work hard on it.

He still wants to go back to Chang'an to report his life.

"Zhang Huaiyi, Cui Yin, King of Dongping, Prince Cui is dead, King of Dongping cannot move, only Zhang Huaiyi may know, Minister Tu, you reminded him in time. By the way, is there another person named Geng Qing? Your Majesty asked me not to move him, but you should also interrogate him."

Li Shunjie had made a decision, turned his back and tied the reins, and turned his direction, "Mr. Tu, I will leave it to you to clean up here, and the others will go back to Beijing with someone!"

The hoof sound resounded on the official road. Hundreds of palace guards rode their horses and ran through Tongguan, and rushed straight to Chang'an with a fast horse and a whip. At this speed, at least two days.

In two days.

At this time, Geng Qing had already faced the saint and thanked him again. He came out of the palace. His family had already made up everything. A team of four carriages and five horses was waiting in Kaiyuan Gate west of the city.

At the gate of the city, Bai Yunxiang was sitting in the carriage holding Geng Nian, her eyes were red. On the side were Qin Huaimian and Zhang Huaiyi. The former was wearing a regular dress and had no sword hanging, just like a teacher, while the latter was playing with the little boy lying on the woman's shoulder.

Soon, the carriage that Dachun drove came out and everyone came over to practice it for him.

"Uncle, I have already said a lot of things in my body and mind. I should take care of myself on the way. The western front is barren and dangerous, and there are many dams on the dam..."

With so many people there, Bai Yunxiang was embarrassed to cry, so she had to pick up some words to say. After Geng Nian in her arms, she said with a brisk manner like a little adult, with her waist on her waist and said crisply: "Dad, you have to come back early so that in the future, those children will say that Nian'er has no father again, do you know?"

"I know!" Geng Qing pinched his tender little face, his skin color was as white as Bai Yunxiang, and he looked much better than his father.

The father and son were joking for a while, and the woman hugged the child at the right time. Qin Huaimian came over and bowed: "Ji Chang, if you get over there, if you feel uncomfortable, come to Chang'an. Even if I give up this face, I also ask Your Majesty to transfer you back. Alas, Qin never thought that Your Majesty would release you out. I thought everyone could reunite and assist the emperor in revitalizing the Tang Dynasty."

Geng Qing knew that he had hope for the emperor of Chang'an, and the latter was indeed much better than Li Yan. Qin Huaimian stayed behind and said that he would really do something in the future.

"Brother Qin is worried too much. What if I, Geng, is like a fish in water in the northwest? I, the salt and iron, are the officials that many people dream of getting."

After a while of joking, when it was Zhang Huaiyi's turn, he had nothing to say, just reminding Geng Qing that he still owe him favors.

"I had agreed to invite me to visit the brothel before, but I probably didn't have a chance. I don't have a hurry to be a brother. I'll wait for you to come back in Chang'an. You can't jump to that treat."

After saying that, few people came over seriously and hugged Geng Qing.

"You go with peace of mind. As brothers, you must come back from the northwest. By the way, I have also inquired about some things. In the northwest, in addition to Li Maozhen, there are also Tianxiong Army. Going to the northwest, Shazhou, Ganzhou, and Suzhou, but the territory of Guiyi Army, don't run around without any trouble. These people are not easy to mess with, and the court doesn't care about them."

"Um."

Geng Qing was grateful to Zhang Huaiyi. Only then did his former friend be considered a real brother. He said something to everyone, drank all the wine, and got on the carriage.

At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves coming from a distance. It was a fast horse. It looked like a slave in the mansion, looking at the costumes that were not in the military camp.

"Mr. Geng, take a step."

The man shouted, urging his horse to come and stop, holding a letter between his hands, ran to the front of the car, and handed it under the curtain, "Sir, this is given to you by my princess."

Master's wife...

Geng Qing was slightly stunned for a moment, grabbed the letter and spread it out, with beautiful and gentle handwriting on it.

"Ji Chang personally opened:

Ji Chang went to Longzhou to show his talent and live up to the expectations of the prince-consort. I already knew what I wanted to say that day, and my master's wife knew clearly what she wanted to say.

The past is gone, you don’t have to worry about me, an old woman. Now in the Qinglantern Buddhist temple, the master’s wife is dedicated to the Buddha. Today she sends a letter to you as a farewell.

When I go back to Chang'an, my master's wife will welcome you again."

Putting down the letter paper in his hand, Geng Qing's heart was mixed. The old woman could guess the fact that he didn't see him that day was reasonable. It was sent to the letter today, which was a friendship between teachers and students.

Sighing, Geng Qing walked out of the carriage, looked at the majestic Chang'an, held his sleeves and bowed down, then said goodbye to everyone one by one, got into the carriage and ordered Dachun to drive towards the official road.

"father!"

Suddenly, there were childish words coming from afar. Geng Nian waved his little hand hard in his mother's arms and cried out toward the gradually moving carriage.

"Dad, come back soon, Nian'er is waiting for you at home-"

The morning light brushed past the clouds, and in the carriage traveling far away, Geng Qing lifted the curtain and looked back, and his voice was low: "Dachun, go quickly..."

Crack!

The whip was waving in the air, and Dachun shouted and accelerated his speed while driving the horse. Soon after, ten miles away, he met with another group of people waiting.
Chapter completed!
