Chapter 494 Temporary Business Trip (Part [-])
When Guo Zheng excitedly opened the door and came in, Qin Wubing was in a daze.

The sound of the door opening brought Qin Wubing back to his senses. He looked up at Guo Zheng and asked, "Isn't the groom the groom?"

Guo Zheng nodded quickly.

Qin Wubing frowned and said: "Based on the bride's words, you can conclude that the person who bridal with the bride is not the bridegroom Benying? You don't need to check with the groom's family?"

Guo Zheng walked to the table and took a sip of herbal tea before saying, "There is a description of the deceased's height and body in the dossier. It was written by Wu Zuo. Captain Qin can take a look."

Qin Wubing stared wide-eyed and asked: "There is already a big difference in height, fat and thin? I thought you need the birthmarks on your chest and buttocks, or the calluses on your hands to tell the difference."

Guo Zheng sighed and said, "We didn't even notice such an obvious mistake."

"I'm afraid of preconceived ideas. This is not Mr. Guo's problem. In this way, it can be concluded that the person who entered the bridal chamber on the wedding night is most likely a murderer. He killed the groom first, then entered the bridal chamber, and then killed the bride while the bride was asleep. Take away the silver jewellery."

Guo Zheng hurriedly asked: "What should I do now? It's been so long, I'm afraid it will be difficult to check again!"

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead and said: "First make sure that the bride is not lying, what she saw was not the real groom... Has Mr. Guo sent someone to Qinghe to check the whereabouts of the blacksmith on the day of his marriage?"

Guo Zheng nodded.

"It's too slow to pass the word back and forth like this!" Qin Wubing muttered, then walked to the window to look at the sky outside and asked, "Let's hurry up now, when can we reach Qinghe?"

Feng Ming suddenly stood up.

Guo Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "We can arrive before dawn."

Qin Wubing looked at Guo Zheng and said: "Master Guo is getting old, it's not suitable for you to travel overnight, just send someone to follow us."

Guo Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It will not be a problem for a day or two. If you run slowly, you can arrive after dawn. I will go to prepare and report to Yang Shangshu..."

"Tell him, don't bother me to enter the palace to ask for orders! Let's meet at the gate of the city in an hour." Qin Wubing went straight out of the room after speaking.

……

Holmes was happy this time, and the four of them rode on the horse in high spirits.

After Guo Zheng and his entourage met Qin Wubing at the gate of the city, the group drove towards Qinghe.

At this time, the old monk was happily overhearing the gossip between the eldest princess and Miss Shen through the screen. He vaguely saw Ying Gu and the eldest princess whispering a few words, but he didn't take it seriously. sighed.

The maiden name of the girl from the Shen family was Shen Yuelan. Seeing that the eldest princess frowned, Shen Yuelan hurriedly said: "The eldest princess is busy, Yuelan will come to visit some other day."

The old monk was listening with enthusiasm, and immediately became anxious when he heard this. Fortunately, the princess said: "It's just some trivial housework, it's okay, you continue to say, this flower dew seems very simple to you. If you really say you do it yourself, it’s not the same thing.”

Shen Yuelan smiled and said: "What the eldest princess said is very true. It is also my parents who saw that I am not good at female celebrities, and I am not good at learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so they forced me to learn these to pass the time."

The old monk leaned back on the chair, took a sip of pear cake and drank tea, feeling very comfortable.

It was not until dinner time that Shen Yuelan bid farewell and left the Dachang Princess' mansion.

The old monk thought about Qin Wubing's side, and that today's errands should be finished, so he told the eldest princess not to have dinner at the eldest princess's mansion, but to go back.

The eldest princess asked: "Uncle Qi said to go back to use, should he go back to the Prince's Mansion or the Qin's House?"

"Of course it's the Qin family! What's the point of me going back to the Prince's Mansion to eat alone?"

"Then who will accompany you when you go to Qin's house now? Lin Huai still has to lie down, father and elder brother wish to stay away from you, you are not eating alone."

"You're still sick! How did you forget him? I just heard him talk about some weird cases he saw today... Wait a minute! What do you mean?"

The old monk came to his senses, and asked with his eyes wide open.

The eldest princess shrugged her shoulders, pursed her lips, tilted her head and said, "He went to Qinghe to investigate the case, and said he would come back in the future."

The old monk became anxious immediately, first he jumped up and scolded Qin Wubing for being unfilial and bad-hearted, and then he wanted to chase after him, only to sit on the ground and cry loudly after being stopped by the eldest princess.

The Eldest Princess hurriedly persuaded: "They have to run all night without getting off their horses. He didn't call Qishu because he was afraid that Qishu would be tired. Besides, he will be back in the next day."

"Then what am I going to do tomorrow?!"

……

The emperor was also dissatisfied with Qin Wubing's unauthorized departure from Beijing!
When Prince Xiang received the news when he was having dinner with the emperor, the emperor was so angry that he didn't even eat.

"No rules! How could he be so unruly!" The emperor got up and started pacing in Dongnuan Pavilion.

Prince Xiang smiled and said: "He must have discovered the crux of the case and was eager to figure it out. He is used to idleness without illness, and has never been an official. He doesn't know that officials are not allowed to leave Beijing without authorization."

"Even if he wants to go, shouldn't he tell me? How does he know that I have no other arrangements?"

"What else does the emperor want him to do?"

"He Sheng can't hold on for much longer. He's already getting old, and he's almost gone through all the punishments he should have received in the past two days. I still hope he can ask something else at this time."

"He Sheng is full of tricks. Before he dies, he might think of a way to figure out how to get rid of the disease. It may not be bad if he doesn't see it! Now the amount of gold and silver found in the place he said is amazing. To be honest, there are still... I'm afraid it's not much. , Other things, Wubing also said, He Sheng likes to put the truth and falsehood together, which makes everyone around him nervous, so there is no need to listen to it, as for how He Sheng did it...Wubing also said Now, even if you don’t know the details, no one can imitate, the emperor doesn’t need to worry! The rest are the officials involved, the emperor has made a decision, and I don’t think it’s appropriate to go into it. I just need to tell my majesty that this catastrophe is over. Besides, let the people in the world know that the emperor knows who is involved, and do not blame the past, and be an official, but if you make a mistake again, you will be punished! I will discuss with the officials of the official department to discuss the rules of the assessment and come out."

"He Sheng said that he is a monster, I think it is true! When did he know he was afraid? If he is like this in front of me, who else can control him?"

"The emperor calm down! Wu Bing will be like this when he encounters a case, and he can't think of anything else..."

"He hurried into the palace today and told me about that, but he ran away! If I have any ideas, who should I tell?"

When Prince Xiang heard this, he understood a little bit, the emperor couldn't do without Qin Wubing, he was not angry at Qin Wubing for not obeying the rules.

"What he said today is absolutely right. If it weren't for the poor supervision and the local officials avoiding the important ones, He Shenghe might not be able to do what he thinks! Every human life is there, but when it comes time to report, it turns out that it is Haiyan Heqing, and the world is peaceful. !"

Prince Xiang no longer tried to persuade, but listened quietly.

"Even if someone discovers the clue and reports it with loyalty to the emperor, the higher-level officials can deal with it in time. How can it happen today? In the hearts of these officials, money and official positions are far more useful than me! Why do they no longer have awe in their hearts? Is it because in their opinion, it is not the law that governs them, but they control the law! Why did He Sheng arrange so many people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Without the power of supervision, those officials will naturally become more unscrupulous!"

Prince Xiang nodded frequently.

"Qin Wubing is right. It is indeed inappropriate for the yamen to judge the case. There is still an official in the government office, but it is true that when the case is judged, you still have to listen to the governor, let alone the county government office. A good official is a good fate, Qin Wubing is right, a good official may not be able to solve a case, officials see that they are unable to become competent officials, so naturally they can only follow the path of corruption and join forces!"

"The emperor thinks clearly..."

"What's the use of being transparent, that kid ran away!"

"He'll be back tomorrow."

"What about tomorrow?"
