Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Without evidence, they can't arrest people indiscriminately.

So Wei Zhi asked her, "What Bai Qi took away back then..."

That is the only evidence that can determine all the people involved in the case. If they can't get it, they will have to re-investigate. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the final result is uncertain.

Hearing what he said, Liu Shi almost slumped his shoulders.

She had expected this for a long time, but Wei Zhi had confirmed it, and she still couldn't help being disappointed.

She paused and said, "The one who escaped with Qi'er back then survived. His name is Erji, but I can't give him to you yet. If one day you can bring those behind the scenes to justice, When witnesses are needed, I will hand him over."

"What about that thing?"

This is the most important.

Liu Shi shook his head and said, "I have been looking for it for so many years."

This time, she didn't shy away, and told him everything about that year, including the relationship between Man Bao and Zhou Yin and her husband, she said, "I tried it, and I asked Da Ji to quietly go into Zhou's house to look for it, but there is nothing we are looking for. The things that Zhou Yin and his wife had died on the road before they could get home, and the things were gone."

Wei Zhi was surprised, but he didn't expect that little girl to have something to do with this.

But the thing disappeared on the road, and the person holding it was dead, he frowned, which was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Of course, Mrs. Liu also knew that this long-term grievance made her feel powerless. It has been six years. Can she really make her son's grievance clear in her lifetime?

Sitting down on the chair, Mrs Liu asked in a somewhat disheartened manner, "Sir, how many people died when the Qianwei Weir burst this time?"

Wei Zhi gritted his teeth, remembering the purgatory he saw when he first arrived in Yizhou.

In this flood, more than 48,000 people died according to his order. Some of them were directly washed away by the flood or drowned, but a considerable number of them died after starvation, conflict, and disease. among.

But in the final analysis, it was because the Qianwei Weir burst.

If Bai Qi had survived six years ago and the Qianweiyan incident happened, such a thing would not have happened today.

This case is not just the death of Bai Qi, Zhou Yin and his wife, and those accompanying them, there are more than 48,000 people today.

There are also people who he did not count and who do not know where they died.

Wei Zhi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Don't worry, old lady, Wei will do his best to give justice to everyone."

With red eyes in Liu's eyes, he stood up and bowed to him, saying: "I believe in your integrity, but I also know that there is a difference between things that can be done and things that can't be done. The old man has been waiting for six years, and I don't mind. Wait another six years, another six years, because I have reached this age, and I have nothing to pursue other than succumbing to grandchildren, so I can wait."

Wei Zhi understood her voice and asked, "Old Madam has something to ask, just speak up."

Liu Shi said: "In order to find out the identity of Zhou Yin and his wife, they deliberately smeared Zhou Yin and his wife as bandits, so that Zhou Man could not recognize his biological parents, and the Zhou family kept hiding the news of Zhou Yin's death."

She said: "Zhou Yin and his wife died because of my son, I can't let them carry this stigma after their death, not to mention that Man Bao's child can't always deny his biological parents, she is six years old this year, I can wait, she will wait No, the Zhou family can't wait either."

Wei Zhi pondered.

How important is a person's death and name?

Even if Wei Zhi didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he still valued these two things, especially the name behind him.

Who doesn't want to live forever after death, and who wants to be infamous after death, without even the most basic sacrifices?

He paced back and forth in the hall, and after a long time asked, "Who knows about Zhou Yin and his wife?"

"Only Lizhi and you and me," Liu said. "As for those three people, I'm afraid I've guessed some of them, but they are in our hands now."

So outside, no one knows, including the Zhou family themselves.

"The one named Daji..."

Liu Shi immediately said, "He is credible."

Liu Shi paused and said, "Their family is the servants of my Bai family, and Erji is his younger brother, so you can rest assured."

Wei Zhi understood, nodded and said, "It will work much better this way, don't worry, I will arrange it, but you have to wait patiently."

"Yes," Liu Shi thanked him, "I thanked Lord Wei for the Zhou family first, for Manbao, and for Qi'er."

"Come on, don't do this," Wei Zhi helped her up and sighed, "Zhou Yin's husband and wife's righteousness is weak, and someone Wei is only doing his best, and he can't even avenge their grievances."

Liu's mouth opened, but he didn't ask.

In fact, she didn't understand a little, even if she was already very smart, she didn't understand. The Qianwei Weir had burst, and the dam was there. That was naked evidence. How could they not be convicted?

It was the fiefdom of the king of Yizhou. If it was said that the king of Yizhou and Jiedu of Jiannan Road did not know, she would not believe it if they killed her.

Even she, a woman, understands the truth, why can't the court handle them?

The court really can't handle them.

At present, even the governor of Yizhou has been recalled to the capital for dereliction of duty.

Yes, it is recalling, not taking it back. He can take his entourage to the capital slowly, as long as he arrives in the capital to answer questions within the deadline given by the Ministry of Officials.

Because at present, apart from everyone's speculation, no one can say that Qianwei Weir is cutting corners, so that the dam bursts.

Because when Wei Zhi arrived, the entire Qianwei Weir had been artificially damaged, and the traces of the previous works had been stripped away, and it was unknown where the flood went.

And although the answer given by the governor of Yizhou was rogue, they really couldn't do anything about it.

He said that the Qianwei Weir was ripped up by the angry victims. Could he say no?

At that time, when he arrived in Yizhou, those people disappeared early, and the main thing at that time was to help the victims, to save people, not to find the people who smashed Qianwei Weir.

Even now, Wei Zhi has the time to find out the truth, also because most of the disaster victims have been resettled, and the reassurance policies he formulated have been put in place one after another under the operation of local officials, so he has time to work on this matter, otherwise He must have handed this matter over to someone below, or the Ministry of Punishment.

He has always distinguished between priorities.

Wei Zhi knew her trump card from Mrs. Liu, and was ready to return to Beijing.

He postponed his return for four days, should the saint be in a hurry at this time?

At this time, the emperor was really in a hurry. It was said that Wei Zhi should have returned to the capital yesterday, but there was no sign of him on the official road.

The emperor could understand that things were slower on the road, so he waited patiently for another day, but Wei Zhi did not return to Beijing until sunset the next day.

Now the emperor couldn't sit still.

Of course, he wasn't angry with Wei Zhi for sabotaging his work, he was worried that Wei Zhi would offend too many people in this disaster relief effort, and those people directly killed him on the way.
