The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 97 Investigation II

On this piece of paper, Wei Pingsheng circled the word "Prince" several times with heavy strokes. In his opinion, the prince is the real culprit behind the land enclosure case.

It's a pity that the prefect of Qingzhou didn't leave any last words, and there is indeed no evidence of his communication with the prince, only the letters between the prince's men and the prefect of Qingzhou.

So at present, it can only be said that the crown prince is not strict with his subordinates, and he has allowed his subordinates to participate in the land enclosure case, and in order to conceal this matter, even the assassins, the imperial envoy, and possibly three insiders including the prefect of Qingzhou, all the clues are now broken , Wei Pingsheng is probably also in a state of desperation.

Just these few sheets of paper have become tattered, which shows how many times Wei Pingsheng has pondered and analyzed them.

Xie Tinglan turned to the next page, and found a new character in this case - Zhizhou Lu Yingfu.

One month after the enclosure case happened, the whole family of Lu Yingfu, Zhizhou, was wiped out, and none of the 130 members survived.

The procurator of the criminal investigation found clues about the enclosure case in Lu Yingfu's mansion, pointing out that Lu Yingfu was also a member of the line.

Wei Pingsheng wrote four large characters with a Chinese ink brush on the side: Nonsense!

Xie Tinglan frowned and flipped through the paper several times, until she had recorded all the clues in her mind before she put the things back.

When the housekeeper and Yuxiu returned to the study, Xie Tinglan was holding an ancient book, sitting on the edge of the stone table in the courtyard and flipping through it.

Yuxiu stepped forward, pretending to be annoyed, and said: "Miss, the selection is finished so quickly, it's not good for slaves, so I'm late."

"It's okay." Xie Tinglan closed the book, stood up with her hand, and nodded to the housekeeper, "I picked two books, and I'll go back first, Uncle Zhang, please tell uncle."

"Don't worry about it, old slave, Miss Biao, go slowly."

After leaving the study room, the two hurried back to the residence, Xie Tinglan sent Yuxiu to prepare lunch, closed the door and called out Shen Jiu.

She asked about the situation first, and Shen Jiu said: "My subordinate will contact the two of them with secret codes every day to ensure that they are all safe now."

[-] Now in Rehe, the state where the turmoil started in Qingzhou, after nearly half a year of slashing, the number of surviving people in Rehe was halved, and there were even refugee uprisings before the imperial court sent troops.

However, compared to the initial situation, it has become much more stable now. The court has contributed money and efforts, many people have a place to live and work, and some groups naturally disbanded.

It's just that there are still a small group of people secretly provoking troubles and provoking the court, and turmoil and conflicts are unavoidable in many cases, so Shen Jiu will keep in touch with the two every day.

"Tell them to be careful." Xie Tinglan paused, and then said: "When King Qi arrives in Qingzhou Mansion, he will definitely go to Rehe with Uncle, and I will follow. Find out from the people of Rehe whether Lu Yingfu, the magistrate who was wiped out, is good or bad in the people of Rehe."

"Yes, Miss." After Shen Jiu finished speaking, she didn't intend to leave. Xie Tinglan looked at him curiously, "Is there anything else?"

Shen Jiu pursed her lips and said, "Someone was spying on Miss on the beam this morning, and they stayed for about a quarter of an hour before leaving. It should be someone from the prince."

"Don't worry about him." Xie Tinglan said, "You first pass the news to Zichou as I said. Then... go and investigate the imperial envoy Wang Jian and the current situation of the palace."

Shen Jiu cupped his fists in response, turned and left.

At the same time, in the nearby wing, Fu Pingye was flipping through the things he asked his subordinates to find.
