Li Guangshun's back house covers an area of ​​about 30 acres, including a lake of about 20 acres. The exquisite and elegant buildings are located around the lake, including Tingyu Pavilion, Mianxue Tower, Xianyin Boat, Wangqiu Pavilion and other buildings. There are not many people living here usually. In addition to Li Guangshun's more than a dozen wives, concubines and children, there are more than twenty maids and maids.

But now Li Guangshun's wife, daughter and maid have gone to the villa to escape the summer heat, and the whole house looks deserted, all the doors are locked, and the windows are closed, so there is no one to see.

At this time, a slight footsteps came from afar. Yu Ming was walking towards Mianxue Tower sneakily. At this time, just one hour had passed since Li Guangshun's family left, and Yu Ming was a little impatient.

Mianxue Tower is where Li Guangshun’s inner study is located, and it is also the most private place for Li Guangshun. It is generally not allowed to enter at will. Yu Ming has never been in. However, today Li Guangshun is gone, and the back house has become Yu Ming’s own world. He can go wherever he wants, and no one can stop him.

Yu Ming quickly stepped into the yard and soon touched the window of the inner study room. A copper lock had been hung on the door, but the window was very weak. Yu Ming pulled out a sharp dagger, inserted it along the edge of the window, and pried it gently. With a "click," he pried open the window, and he jumped into the study room.

Li Guangshun's inner study room is very clean and tidy, and the layout is very simple. There is a wide table in the middle, there is nothing on the table, next to it is a small box, a bronze incense burner of squatting beasts is placed in the corner, and a row of bookshelves beside the wall, with rolls of silk books placed in a small grid. There are several famous porcelain antiques.

Yu Ming picked up a pair of porcelain, and his eyes showed a look of greed. He had heard that the pair of Yue porcelain green bottles were extremely expensive, just five thousand jin of coins. He swallowed, temporarily put the green bottle back, and rushed to the table, staring at the small copper box three feet square. He heard from his sister that Li Guangshun would not allow anyone to touch this box, so his secret must be in this box.

He squatted in front of the box and gently stroked the box. The box was made of brass and was very heavy. A small and exquisite golden lock was hung on it. Yu Ming pulled out the dagger. This dagger was made of Lai Junchencha, which was cut into iron like mud and could easily cut off the lock head.

Yu Ming took a deep breath. He knew that as long as he cut it down, he would be exposed. But at this time, the strong desire to make money grabbed his mind. He didn't care about the consequences at all. He pointed the dagger at the lock and cut it down hard. With a "crack," the lock was cut into two pieces by his sharp dagger, one on the ground, and the other on the box.

Yu Ming opened the box, which was mostly scrolled, probably the music scores of celebrities, and some gold seals, which were Li Guangshun's seals for princes, but Lai Junchen explained to him very clearly, asking him to find all the important letters and a gold medal in the Xingtang Association.

But Yu Ming took out the last scroll and still found no gold medal. The box had become empty. He was stunned. There was no letter or gold medal. What's going on? Was the thing taken away by Li Guangshun?

If you want to take it away, you should take it away with this small copper box. This copper box is very small and easy to carry. Yu Ming got up and moved the box, but the copper box weighed a thousand pounds. No matter how strong he used, the box still remained motionless.

He then realized that the box must be fixed on the ground. Yu Ming was about to put the thing back, but accidentally found that there was a very small copper button at the bottom of the box, which was only slightly larger than a soybean. He reached out and pinched the copper button and twisted it gently and pressed it. There was no movement. He pulled it up hard, and the copper plate at the bottom was actually pulled up by him.

Yu Ming was so excited that he almost shouted out. He finally discovered Li Guangshun's secret. He saw a secret hidden under the copper plate. He reached out and fumbled, and found a jade box from it. There was nothing else and there was no letter. He slowly opened the jade box, and there was indeed a shining gold medal inside.

He picked up the gold medal, and there were indeed three big characters engraved on it, Xingtanghui, but at this moment, Yu Ming felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, his eyes turned black, and he fainted immediately.

After a moment, he slowly woke up again, scared him so much that he looked around, but he didn't see anything abnormal. The gold medal was still on his legs, and the jade box was scattered aside. The boxes, scrolls and other objects were the same as before. Yu Ming was wondering in his heart, how could he faint?

But at this moment, he was very nervous and had no time to think about it. He put the gold medal into the jade box and put the scroll back into the box, put the lid down. He stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered something. He quickly walked to the bookshelf and greedily put two porcelain bottles worth 5,000 guan into his arms.

But he thought to himself that he could make a pair of fake porcelain bottles and put them back, but he forgot that the golden lock had been cut off. How could Li Guangshun not know the authenticity of the porcelain bottle?

Just as Yu Ming flipped out of the study and left in a hurry, a slender black shadow flashed in the bamboo forest not far behind him, looking coldly at his back and leaving.

In the room, Lai Junchen squinted his eyes and looked at the gold medal in his hand. It was exactly the same as the gold medal of Li Yuanjia next to him. The difference was that the names of the two were different. This part was engraved with King Yifeng Li Guangshun, and the numbers were also different. Li Yuanjia's number was number seven, while Li Guangshun's number was number eighteen.

Lai Junchen was so happy that he won the gold medal from the Xingtang Association. The next step was that he could directly arrest Li Guangshun. However, Li Guangshun was a royal family after all, and he still needed the consent of the emperor.

He immediately ordered a man: "Go and tell Liu Guangye quickly and let him keep Li Guangshun close, so don't let someone run away."

"Zhou Ling" his subordinate clasped his fists and bowed, turned around and hurried away.

Yu Ming, who was standing aside, could no longer control his inner expectations. Seeing that Lai Junchen never mentioned his reward, he finally couldn't help but whisper to remind Lai Junchen: "Lai Zhongcheng, my that. That. Bounty?"

Lai Junchen's face suddenly became dark. Someone dared to ask him for a bounty? But thinking that this person was of use, his face calmed down again and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your bounty is indispensable, but you have not finished your work for me yet. I will give it to you after I finish it. I will never go back on my word."

Yu Ming immediately said anxiously: "Come to Zhongcheng, the villain did not find the letter. His letter was either taken away or destroyed."

"I'm not talking about the letter?"

It was certainly disappointing that Lai Junchen was unable to find the letter, but with the gold medal, it didn't matter if there was no letter. He walked up and patted Yu Ming on the shoulder, "You are Li Guangshun's brother-in-law. Of course, you know very well about his every move. I need you to be a witness to prove what he did and who he secretly met? You should have no problem with this little thing."

"But the villain... really doesn't know."

"Of course I know you don't know anything, but I will teach you in detail. Are you trying to destroy your relatives for the sake of justice? Do you understand?"

Yu Ming finally understood that it is not impossible to make him falsely accuse Li Guangshun, but what are the benefits of him?

"Come to Zhongcheng, I can agree, then my reward."

When Lai Junchen heard that he was obsessed with the reward, he was really annoyed. He restrained his anger and said coldly: "Is what Lai Junchen said so unbelievable?

Yu Ming felt Lai Junchen's anger, and was so scared that he didn't dare to say more. He lowered his head deeply. Lai Junchen nodded and immediately ordered someone to take Yu Ming down to rest. He hurried to Wu Zetian's imperial study room.

Lai Junchen waited in front of the imperial study for a moment, and a eunuch came out and said, "Lai Zhongcheng, the emperor summoned you to come in."

Lai Junchen hurriedly followed the eunuch into the imperial study room. He did not see Shangguan Wan'er in the imperial study room, which made Lai Junchen breathe a sigh of relief. Shangguan Wan'er was not here, and things were much easier to handle. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I'm going to see Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian saw that Junchen had submitted a report first, regarding the preliminary investigation of the Xingtang Association, in order to avoid getting Wu Sansi, Lai Junchen hid the gold medal from Zhuang Wenzhong, just saying that he sent his subordinates to Yangzhou to investigate the Xingtang Association gold medal of Li Yuanjia who was lost due to the war in Yangzhou.

Wu Zetian nodded, "It only took me twenty days to come to Zhongcheng to find so many things, which really makes me feel relieved. I want to know, how do you know that King Yifeng is also a member of Xingtang Association?"

Lai Junchen had already compiled a set of rhetorics and said calmly: "Weichen learned from the report letter that someone pretended to be a royal relative and blackmailed shops in the Nanshi area. Weichen sent someone to verify it. Unexpectedly, the person who caught it was King Yifeng's brother-in-law, named Yu Ming, who was originally a servant of the Jiaofang. Because his sister became King Yifeng's favored concubine, he was promoted to the third steward of the royal palace. Weichen found a gold medal in Xingtang Association from him."

Lai Junchen turned around, and a eunuch quickly presented the gold medal in the lacquer plate to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian picked up the gold medal of Li Guangshun and looked at it, snorted coldly, and continued to ask: "What's the matter?"

"Then the Weichen was deeply surprised and carefully interrogated the person. Only then did he know that he had stole the gold medal from the study of King Yifeng. However, he didn't know the meaning of the gold medal, and he only took a fancy to the gold. He also said that King Yifeng secretly interacted with King Xiang and secretly discussed with King Shouchun in the study. Some time ago, Li Zhen also visited King Yifeng several times late at night."

Lai Junchen has already made a desperate bet and aimed at Prime Minister Li Dan and Li Zhen. As long as the two of them are determined first, then Luling King Li Xian will easily be caught in the net. Wu Zetian pondered for a long time, and she looked at Junchen again and said meaningfully: "You can start the investigation with King Yifeng first, be careful."

Lai Junchen was overjoyed, and the emperor finally let go. He quickly bowed and said, "I will never let Your Majesty down."

He slowly withdrew from the imperial study room. Wu Zetian looked at him far away and looked at the two Xingtang Club gold medals on the table. She snorted gently and put the gold medal in the small box next to her.

In the courtyard of Lai Junchen's mansion, more than 200 black officials and warriors had all gathered. Although Lai Junchen was very excited, his mind was still calm. He knew that Li Guangshun had dozens of guards around him, so it was not so easy to arrest him. The hundred subordinates led by Liu Guangye were still inadequate. In order to ensure that they could catch Li Guangshun, he decided to take action personally and bring all the black officials and warriors.

Lai Junchen looked at the sky and night was gradually coming. He could not lead the black warriors across the street and out of the city too arrogantly. He had to wait for it to get dark. At the same time, he would be more confident in capturing Li Guangshun at night.

The night finally came completely, Lai Junchen waved his hand and "set"

More than two hundred gangsters and warriors lined up to run out of the mansion and followed Lai Junchen to the Houzai Gate in Luoyang.

Just as Lai Junchen left Houzai Gate, Li Zhen also officially met So Ying in the inner and outer offices. In the room, Li Zhen smiled and said, "Everyone is a fellow villager, and he grew up together. How can there be any conflict that cannot be resolved? If you meet your childhood companions in Luoyang, this kind of homesickness is hard to let go. Erlang is worried. I will not take the past into consideration. And I can also guarantee that the relationship between the Suo family and Lai Junchen will not be investigated."

What Soying wants is Li Zhen’s guarantee. He also knows Li Zhen very well and has clear grudges. As long as he helps him a lot, he will not forget this favor.

So Ying whispered: "I have a very good relationship with the kitchen manager in Lai Junchen's mansion. This morning I talked to him about Qiao Zhizhi's wife. He told me that Qiao Zhizhi's wife was not successful by Lai Junchen and had been killed. The body was buried under a osmanthus tree in the backyard, and he also participated in burying the body."

"Why did he tell you this?" Li Zhen asked again.

So Ying sneered, "Lai Junchen did too many evils, how can he be rewarded? Everyone has to consider the way out for themselves. The manager said that if I want to check the body, he can help."

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and asked again: "Where is this person now?"

"He lives in Lai Junchen's house. If the commander wants to see him, I can make an appointment with him."

Li Zhen also knew that there was not much time and he could not delay any further. He immediately made a decision: "Let's go now."

Half an hour later, in a tavern near Lai Junchen's mansion, Li Zhen met this manager who was willing to help them. The man's name was Wang Xian, about forty years old. He was the kitchen manager of Lai Junchen. He had a son and a daughter. He was also afraid of being implicated by Lai Junchen. After So Ying's persuasion, he decided to do things for Li Zhen.

"The villain still clearly remembers where the corpse is buried. If the commander wants to go to the test, the villain is willing to lead the way."

Li Zhen walked a few steps behind his hands. He really needed to confirm the burial location of the body, but he was a little worried that if Lai Junchen knew about this, Lai Junchen would definitely destroy the body immediately, and the precious evidence would be destroyed, so he hesitated and needed to consider a complete solution.

At this time, Wang Xian said carefully again: "Your leader, if you go for a autopsy now, I think it would be a good opportunity."

"Why?"

"Don't the commander know? Lai Junchen took all the black officials and warriors out of the city. There were only some maids and servants in the mansion, and there were no guards."
