At that time, Wei Zhi wanted to ask Bai Qi to ask, but only when he asked, did he know that this Jinshi in the first year of Dazhen, he was not transferred to another place as an official, but died in the second year of Dazhen.

Or die in office, die in the bandit suppression.

Wei Zhi had worked in the Ministry of Punishment before, and the intuition he had learned from the case told him that it was not normal.

So he put down the work of investigating Qianweiyan and turned to investigate Bai Qi.

Two years later, Qianweiyan's account books showed nothing at all. He knew that there must be something wrong with Qianweiyan, but without evidence, everything was in vain.

So he went to check Bai Qi.

At that time, all the people who were with Bai Qi died, not only his servants, but also some local officials. Bai Qi's county magistrate He Ziyun and his eldest son died together, all for the purpose of suppressing bandits.

Wei Zhi felt resistance when he was investigating Baiqi, and the resistance was even greater than when he was investigating Qianweiyan.

For example, when he wanted to see Qianweiyan's account book in Yizhou Prefecture, they would give it to him without blinking an eye. No one stopped him when he wanted to see the workers who built Qianweiyan.

But he found some old people of the year to ask about Bai Qi, but some people stopped it again and again, and the people who were questioned kept flickering.

He had seen the case files and various notes in the handling of the case left by Bai Qi before he was in office, but overnight, the yamen in Shu County caught fire and burned all those files.

It was precisely because of this series of actions that he knew that he had checked it right.

So he immediately sent someone to Bai Qi's hometown of Longzhou to find someone, wanting to find his family.

During this period, he fought floods and disasters in Yizhou, and when the dispatched people came back from Longzhou, most of the disaster relief work had been completed.

Only then did he know that the person he was looking for was actually in Yizhou Mansion.

So when he heard that two refugees on the side of the road mentioned that Mianzhou was also severely affected, he followed the flow.

In Jiannan Road, in Yizhou, his every move was being watched, and it was impossible for him to come to see Liu directly.

When he was in Brazil, he was still thinking about what kind of excuse he should find to go to Qili Village in Luojiang County, so when Master Bai was also there, he specially called someone up to talk.

Thinking that if he arrived in Luojiang County, Master Bai, like the other squires, asked him to go home for a while, and he would definitely agree to go.

It turned out better than he expected.

The night was already dark, but Master Bai suddenly sent Chang Sui who was following him to leave, and he couldn't help thinking about it.

But he didn't expect that there would be such a surprise waiting for him in Qili Village.

The guards who came back said that a group of people went to Qili Village before them, but for some reason, they suddenly clashed with the local villagers, so they were arrested.

When Wei Zhi came to Qili Village this time, firstly, he wanted to meet the three people who were arrested, and it was best to take them away; secondly, he wanted to talk to Mrs. Liu.

The other party is so afraid that he will check Bai Qi, which means that Bai Qi must have something they are afraid of.

Wei Zhi suspected that those things were in the hands of Bai Qi's family.

But Liu's handed over to Wei Zhi only two letters from the family and two confessions from the painting.

Wei Zhi frowned and asked, "Apart from these two family letters, does Bai Qi have nothing else left?"

"How could my son bring that kind of thing home to harm us?" Mrs. Liu said, "He was in office alone at the time. My grandson was young and couldn't travel far, so we stayed in our hometown in Longzhou."

This is troublesome.

Wei Zhi asked, "Does the old lady have any other clues, think about it, where does he hide things?"

Liu Shi shook his head and said, "I really can't think of it."

Master Bai glanced at Liu Shi and lowered his head.

Wei Zhi sighed and said, "I want to meet those three people."

Liu Shi immediately asked Daji to take Wei Zhi.

As soon as the people left, Master Bai asked, "Auntie, let's not talk about it, Lord Wei will know the existence of Zhou Yin and his wife after seeing those two people, why should we hide it from them?"

"Is Lord Wei credible?"

"At least 90% trust him."

"But there are so many lives behind me, not to mention 90%, even 90%, I don't dare to take this risk." Liu said: "He knew there would be such a couple, but it would be I would never have imagined that it was Zhou Yin."

"That……"

"Wait a little longer," Liu said, "Let's wait a little longer. Anyway, he's not in a hurry to leave at this time, isn't he?"

Wei Zhi could also feel that the Liu family didn't trust him very much, but he understood it after a little thought.

When he came out of the guest house, Wei Zhi was also a little silent.

The guard who followed him couldn't help but ask, "Sir, does Mrs. Liu know who that couple is?"

Wei Zhi sighed, "She may know, but she must not have got Bai Qi's stuff, and she doesn't even know where it is."

"Then what to do, there is no physical evidence, we have nothing to do with Yizhou Wang and others."

"Yeah, there is no physical evidence, so it doesn't matter whether she trusts or not," Wei knew. "These three personal certificates are not very useful. They are like chicken ribs. It is a pity to abandon them, but they are not very useful."

The key lies in the things in Bai Qi's hands, but Bai Qi is dead, where will he put things?

Wei Zhi frowned and said, "The one who knows Bai Qi the most in this world is probably that old lady. Getting her to speak is much harder than asking the three prisoners to speak."

"That……"

"But we're not in a hurry, we have time, it's just a matter of staying a few more days."

The guard complied.

Wei Zhi said that he would stay there. Of course, it was impossible to live here. After all, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng were widows and Bai Shanbao was young, so Wei Zhi and the guards lived in his house as friends of Mr. Bai. .

Old Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai did not doubt at all, they welcomed them happily, and planned to hold a reception banquet for him, and enthusiastically kept him to stay for a few more days.

Wei Zhi readily agreed.

The old lady Bai smiled and said with Bai Erlang, who was running back from school: "Go to the next door and call your cousin, and Man Bao. If she is here, she will bring her here too. I haven't seen those two children for two or three days. Well, it's weird."

Bai Erlang shouted, "They have asked for leave and only went to school today."

He was a little unconvinced and hummed, "Grandma, they always ask for leave during this time." So he didn't seem like a good student at all.

Master Bai gave him a stern look at him, saying: "Yesterday Shanbao and Manbao spent a day reading books in the study, but you went to the school. What did you learn?"

Bai Erlang didn't believe it, so he whispered, "Whoever asks for leave will still study..."

Wei Zhi laughed and asked, "Is Shan Bao the grandson of Mrs. Liu?"

"Yeah, a very smart child." The old lady Bai tried her best to show off Bai Shanbao, but she couldn't help it. Her eldest grandson was not there, and her nephew was also a grandson, right?

After complimenting Bai Shanbao, he complimented their Erlang and said with a smile, "Our Erlang is also very well-behaved and filial."

He didn't say anything like being smart.
