"What? What imperial edict?" Han Xuexi was confused.

Song Tingshan: "As soon as Mr. Wu came to Xinlun Prefecture, he directly settled in the Chu residence without making any contact with the state government. If he didn't come out to play on his own, then he was handling the case under the emperor's order. There must be no interference from the state government or the cooperation of the state government.

Where is the will, the imperial edict?”

Han Xuexin: "Ah? No, Song Tingshan, why are you pretending to be confused? Don't you know what Lord Wu is doing in Xinlun Prefecture?"

Song Tingshan said word by word: "I don't know."

Han Xuexin: "You fart! Who dares to say they don't know when Mr. Wu is here? Who doesn't know when I take office?"

Bai Hua pointed at Song Tingshan's master: "Write it down, write it down, Han Xuexin insulted Shangguan!"

Han Xuexin: "..., surnamed Bai, I will remember you!"

Bai Hua was so busy: "If you are a fool, you won't be able to remember. If you can remember, it means you are not stupid."

Song Tingshan coughed lightly and asked unhurriedly: "My officer, should you know?"

Han Xuexi was speechless.

According to the procedure, they should first go to the state government office to meet Song Tingshan and hand over the case of Princess Donglun that Song Tingshan was responsible for, but they did not.

So when Song Tingshan asked "Should I know?", he was actually saying: Your arrival is against the rules.

The beginning was out of order, and anything that happened later had nothing to do with Song Tingshan.

How can it be irrelevant? If it is irrelevant, then all the responsibilities belong to Han Xuexin and Wu Jichang. Wu Jichang is dead, and he still has the reputation of "succumbing to the line of duty". What about himself? Only the guilt remains!

"Before receiving the news that Mr. Wu died in the line of duty, did you know that Mr. Wu went to the mine yesterday?" Song Tingshan asked the secret detective who stayed behind at Chu's house to Wu Jichang.

These people looked at each other, most of them said "I don't know", and some hesitated and said "I know... I know..."

The master checked the records and said: "Sir, these people just said in their confessions that they did not know why Master Wu went out."

Song Tingshan raised the corners of his lips: "As a member of the Secret Investigation Department, what do you think of perjury?"

Xiaobao saw Chu Qing covering her face with her hands and yawning secretly, so she knew her mother was sleepy.

Chu Qing was really sleepy.

When she was sure that the cause of Wu Jichang's death had been "perfectly investigated" by these people, her tense heart relaxed, and now she felt so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

"We don't even know that Mr. Wu has gone out. We are all playing at home, let alone that he went to the mine. We don't even know! That's what we said just now. If you don't believe me, just read the confession and make sure there is no forgery!"

Bao shouted that he wanted to end this boring questioning as soon as possible so that his mother could go to sleep.

Song Tingshan looked at his master. The master reviewed the confessions recorded by the people in Chu House and replied: "Sir, this is indeed the case."

Song Tingshan made a "calm down" gesture to Xiaobao and said: "In this way, Mr. Wu's trip is only for his personal purposes..."

Han Xuexi immediately interrupted: "Song Tingshan, what do you mean by this?"

Song Tingshan: "Don't be impatient, Mr. Han. I have my own reasons for saying so. The same thing was mentioned in these confessions, that is, Mr. Wu was in the mine, talking freely with the old nobleman Munideji Sambuza.

After drinking for more than two hours, tell me, Mr. Wu, why is this happening?"

Han Xuexi immediately fell silent.

He thought that if the old nobles were not present, no one would think of this matter. The key point is that Wu Jichang's death is the key point!

But I didn't expect that Song Tingshan's case investigation was so detailed and thorough, not much worse than that of the Secret Investigation Department.

"It seems you don't know. In this case, everyone will be fine. Let's go back to our places. Mr. Han, you and I will call Munideji Sambuza for questioning. Chu Qing, you still have to borrow this place.

For a while." Song Tingshan said.

"Okay, okay!" Chu Qing immediately agreed: "Then we won't disturb Mr. Song's investigation. You can continue, and we will retreat."

After that, with a wave of his hand, everyone went back to sleep.

The remaining thing is for Song Tingshan to deal with Han Xuexi. There is no suspense about it, so don't worry about it.

When Bai Hua and Wei Chengyi were walking out, they passed by Feng Renke and stopped. Bai Hua took a good look at him and said to Wei Chengyi: "Hey, have you noticed that this man's name is unusual? It can be said that he lives up to his name: anyone who has anything to do with him

Everyone who has been in a relationship has been killed! Especially the one whose chest, neck, and mouth are all leaking, will die the worst!"

Wei Chengyi pushed him: "Why don't you leave quickly! Are you waiting to be beaten?"

Feng Renke's face was pale and his whole body was shaking. Because of Bai Hua's words, those on the stretchers around him who had been tortured by molten iron and lost their human form began to curse angrily in their throats.

If they hadn't listened to his words and poured cold water on the blast furnace, how could they have ended up in a situation worse than death?

Wu Jichang's few remaining guards who were carrying the stretcher wanted to come up and strangle him to death, because Wu Jichang was the first to be killed by him!

At noon, everyone woke up from hunger and came out to wait for dinner. Song Tingshan made a "closing statement" in public:

"Mr. Wu Jichang, the governor of North Town, did not forget his official duties during his vacation. He tracked down the whereabouts of Princess Donglun and killed her. She died and sacrificed her life for righteousness. He should be an example for us. I will send this case and Deputy Han to Qianhu.

Dali Temple will make the final decision."

After saying this, Song Tingshan led the team back to the Yamen without any delay.

"Officer, this is what you have to do!" Chu Qing murmured to herself. She admired Song Tingshan's "final conclusion" extremely.

"Mother, Song Dada is such an upright official!" Xiaobao said excitedly: "I want to study hard and become a good official like Song Dada in the future!"

Chu Qing, Bai Hua, and Zhuo Yao looked at Xiaobao and had different feelings. Only Chu Yuan applauded desperately: "Xiaobao is right! Xiaobao has ambition!"

*************

Kyoto, Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Qingde was sitting behind the imperial cabinet, looking at the secret report in his hand. There was a "no group" standing in front of the imperial cabinet.

"Buqun Na, don't you think Wu Jichang's death is a bit inexplicable?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, it makes sense. He fell into the furnace with Princess Donglun," Buqun replied.

Emperor: "I mean, why is he going to the mine? Is he really going to investigate the case?"

Buqun: "I don't know. Quanzi's letter only said that Wu Jichang suddenly left the Chu residence with his people that day and disappeared. In the evening, news came that he and Princess Donglun had died together."

The emperor nodded: "Yes, that's what the letter said. But I don't think it's such a coincidence, right? I couldn't find out the whereabouts of Princess Donglun, so why did he run into her as soon as he went there?"

Buqun recalled the news he had received during this period and said: "According to the content of Quanzi's last letter, Wu Jichang went to Xinlun Prefecture to track down the whereabouts of Princess Donglun, so he suspended Bai Hua from his post, moved into the Chu residence, and carried out

Full investigation.”

Emperor: "Then I had some... unpleasantness with Chu Qing, and then I went to the mine. Why is this?"

Buqun did not answer the call. As a shadow, he only needed to provide information to the emperor, and was not allowed to make any suggestions or emotions, so as not to interfere with the emperor's judgment.

The emperor continued to read the letter and suddenly smiled: "Hahaha, your boy is very angry. Look at his wording: 'The old nobleman insisted that he had no dealings with Wu Jichang. Wu Jichang just asked him about Princess Donglun.

As for his whereabouts, he was afraid of angering the capital officials when he asked questions, so he held a banquet to entertain him...' He said it to death, it's not a group, this kid doesn't seem to believe it at all."
