The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

The death of Sun Chen was related to Wei.

Sun Chen refers to the former magistrate Mr. Sun, and the former magistrate Mr. Chen.

And Wei was most likely talking about Mr. Wei, the prefect of Huzhou Prefecture. Mr. Wei was their top figure. They probably had something to do with Mr. Wei, so they recruited people to silence him.

When the couple read the contents of the letter, they were not too shocked, because they were already suspicious of Mr. Wei when no evidence was found.

Meng Jinyao said softly: "Husband, it seems that Master Wei really did it."

Gu Jingxi nodded slightly, then opened another thing wrapped in oil paper, and found two letters. When he opened one of the letters, he saw that the handwriting was not written by Mr. Liu. The handwriting on this letter was rather sloppy, and seemed to be written in a hurry. Moreover, the letter paper had already been folded before the ink was completely dry. The letter was a little darkened by the ink, but the handwriting could be clearly seen.

There were only a dozen words written in the letter: Shen Qinghe, Shen Qingshan, Li family, Wei Zhifu, Master Sun was silenced.

Meng Jinyao frowned: "Husband, this should be written by Mr. Chen. He wrote it in such a hurry. He must have known that he would not survive. This letter was probably discovered by Mr. Liu who was sent to investigate the case. Mr. Liu followed the clue and found out about Wei Wei. It’s an adult matter, so I was silenced again.”

Gu Jingxi nodded and read the two letters. In fact, the facts of the case were clear. The cause was Shen Qinghe's death. Mr. Sun sentenced the Li family's young master to be beheaded in public. Mr. Wei accepted bribes and overturned Mr. Sun's sentence, forcing Shen Qingshan to Plea guilty. It’s just that Mr. Sun was still holding on to the case and Mr. Wei later. He probably found out something and Mr. Wei would silence him. Later, Mr. Chen would have contacts with Mr. Li’s father. I also investigated this matter secretly.

After a while, Gu Jingxi opened another letter and saw that the handwriting was written by Mr. Liu. It said that the causes of death of the previous two county magistrates were all caused by Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei had been corrupt and accepted bribes, resulting in unjust, false and wrongful convictions, and innocent people being wronged. He died of injustice and was bribed more than once, but much of the evidence was destroyed.

Gu Jingxi put down the letter. This was expected. Before coming to Deqing County, he knew that Mr. Wei had accepted bribes. However, he could not find Mr. Wei's private accounts or letters between Mr. Wei and others to prove it. There was no way to prove the crime. Sit down.

Meng Jinyao wondered: "Master Liu placed the letters in two places respectively, presumably thinking that the eggs cannot be put in the same basket. But why would Master Liu put the letter on the beam? Most people would not think of placing the letter on the beam, but he would Aren’t you afraid that others won’t be able to find you?”

Gu Jingxi replied: "These are usually marked. If you investigate carefully and see the same marks in the two rooms, you will probably figure it out. If Mo Bai is here today, he will probably be able to find it. I used to investigate cases with Mr. Liu. Just tried to find evidence from such markings.”

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao asked curiously: "Where did you find the evidence that time?"

Gu Jingxi said: "The latrine is a dirty place like this. Most people will not dig through it. If they don't leave strange marks as a guide, they won't go through the latrine to find the hidden evidence. This is also a helpless approach. , no matter where you put it, you are afraid of being found by bad guys, and if you leave it in a place that is easy to ignore, no one may find it in the end, but it is better than leaving nothing at all. If you leave something behind, there is still a glimmer of hope."

Meng Jinyao asked again: "Husband, since we know that Shen Qingshan was wrongly accused, then the murderer must be Young Master Li, so tonight, are you going to ask Chan'er to disguise herself as Shen Qinghe and go to the Li family to talk to Young Master Li?"

Gu Jingxi shook his head slightly and said slowly: "There is no need for the moment, so as not to alert the enemy, it is better to go back to Huzhou City first and look for Mr. Wei's private accounts. As long as he finds his private accounts, what he has done will be revealed, and it will be easy to reverse the case. .”

"Otherwise, even if Mr. Li and the deaf-mute couple are arrested for interrogation, as long as they insist that Shen Qingshan did it, there is nothing we can do. After all, Shen Qingshan is dead and there is no evidence. And just having these letters in my hand won't do it. , because there is no strong evidence to prove that Mr. Wei took bribes, created unjust, false and wrong cases and killed people, let alone prove that what is said in the letter is true."

Afterwards, Gu Jingxi asked Chan'er to cancel tonight's action. As for the Shen couple, he directly asked Fang Ce to send them back to the next county to their new residence. He asked the couple not to return to Deqing County and wait for news at their new residence.

During dinner that night, Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao bid farewell to Mr. Du and said they would return to Huzhou City tomorrow.

Master Du was very surprised: "Yao Ling, you just left, how long will you stay?"

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "Uncle Cousin, we will return to Huzhou City tomorrow and return to Beijing the day after tomorrow. We are originally on leave to return to our hometown to worship our ancestors, so we should not stay any longer."

"That……"

Mr. Du thought about the case, but because of the presence of the maid, he hesitated to speak.

Gu Jingxi smiled and nodded, saying nothing.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Du understood what he meant. He probably found some clues, but he couldn't stay too long to avoid alerting the enemy.

After dinner, Mr. Du went to Gu Jingxi again to ask about the situation. After all, the previous two county magistrates had just disappeared, and he was also afraid that he would suddenly die suddenly one day.

Gu Jingxi comforted him: "Don't worry, cousin. As long as you don't care about anything, pretend you know nothing, and don't delve into their affairs. As long as you know nothing, you won't be like them."

Mr. Du is a smart man. He understood what he meant as soon as he heard this. The first two magistrates would die because they probably knew too much.

-

The next day.

Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao returned to Huzhou City.

After returning to Huzhou City and entering his house, Gu Jingxi told the housekeeper that they would return to Beijing tomorrow and ordered his servants to pack their luggage. He also ordered people to buy some long-lasting pastries, preserved fruits, and some snacks in preparation for their return to Beijing tomorrow. Eat these things on the road.

Meng Jinyao was confused by him and dragged him back to the room, wondering: "Husband, don't you want to find a private account? Why did you return to Beijing so quickly?"

Gu Jingxi raised his lips and smiled: "Then I won't go back so soon. I don't have an excuse to stay longer now. It's just a show. There will be other reasons to stay tomorrow."

Meng Jinyao was curious: "Then what excuse will my husband use to stay tomorrow?"

Gu Jingxi didn't say it directly, only said: "Ayao will know tomorrow, but don't be frightened. Your husband is not sick or in trouble."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was thoughtful and had a guess in her mind, but she was not sure.

That night, Gu Jingxi was so lively that he dragged her around for half the night.

However, when Meng Jinyao woke up the next day, she found that her husband was still awake. His eyes were closed and his face was rosy. She reached out and touched his cheek and found that his cheek was very hot, as if he had a high fever.

Meng Jinyao panicked for a moment, and soon remembered what he said yesterday, knowing that his body must be fine, but she didn't know what happened to him, but she had to cooperate well.

Therefore, Meng Jinyao took a deep breath to gather her emotions, then quickly got out of bed without putting on her shoes, and ran out to find the maid in a hurry. She said nervously: "Come here, go find the doctor quickly, Lord Marquis." sick!"

When the maid saw her in such a panic, with disheveled hair and even no shoes on, she ran out barefoot. She guessed that the Marquis must be seriously ill. There is no such thing as a serious illness like this. He quickly agreed and ran to ask the boy to fetch a doctor. After all, the boy ran faster.
