Coming out of Ren's mansion, Li Sheng heard that Yang Nian was going back to the Jingzhou mansion to be on duty, and he wanted to go back to the mansion, so he asked if he wanted to leave separately, but Yang Nian waved his hand indifferently, saying that since he was on the way, why not go together.

"I went to my uncle and asked him for a rare item." Li Sheng said.

"what?"

"One of his former subordinates is now a leader in the Northwest. He found a chessboard made of pure jade. The black stones are Moyu, and the white characters are Hotan. Do you want to see it?"

"That's really rare, take me there!"

Li Sheng knew that Yang Nian would get excited when he heard this, so he deliberately teased him, "Aren't you going to sit with Fu Yin this afternoon?"

"Ah!" Yang Nian sighed, but immediately had an idea, "I just need to show my face. If there is no lawsuit, it's okay for me to leave early."

"You just thought about how to be lazy when you first took office." Li Sheng shook his head.

"Secretary!" The yamen servant in the uniform of the Jingzhou government ran over as soon as he saw Yang Nian, "There is a complainant, the master is looking for you everywhere, waiting to make records."

"It's noon," Yang Nian complained, but he could only follow the servants to the government office, "Li Sheng, wait for me!"

"Okay." Li Sheng waved to him, and followed slowly, thinking to see how Yang Nian was sitting in the hall.

When the hall opened, there were already three floors inside and three floors outside the gate of the government office. Yang Nian entered through the back door, spread out the paper, and was about to start recording.

"Hey," the ragged man rubbed his wrist that was scratched by the yamen servant, and said half-deadly, "Master Guan, please be gentle, I am blue all over."

"Who is in the hall!" Jingzhou Governor Yin aggressively interrogated.

The man was startled by Xingyan, and immediately fell on the ground, his voice was weak, "You are wronged, master, you are wronged."

Yang Nian's writing hand trembled. What was wrong with it?

"What's your name?"

"Little man, Zhao San," the man has many scars on his body, and it is very difficult to kneel and sit, "he is the godson of the old eunuch who died a few days ago."

Li Sheng was standing behind the crowd who joined in the fun, and he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten when he heard this.

"I, there is a shop in the east of the city. I was closing the stall and going home when I was arrested by some masked men. They asked me, where is my godfather? How do I know?" Zhao San said As he said that, tears came down, "The old man is not in good spirits, he always wanders around, I really don't know, this man kicked and kicked me when he saw me and didn't say anything, look at me. It took three days of beating before I ran out, but as soon as I came out, they told me that my godfather was dead."

"What is your father's identity?"

"My godfather's name is Zhao Yi, and he served the concubine back then. A few years ago, when the new emperor came to the throne, there was a big change of people in the palace. My godfather had some savings, so he came out of the palace and gave me his savings to let me start a business." I opened a small shop selling cosmetics."

"You said your godfather is not in good spirits and wandering around, so where has he been wandering recently?"

"Well, I really didn't know about it in the shop during the day, but he asked me to take him to the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago, saying that there was something that must be handed over to the Prime Minister," Zhao San recalled, "It was the Queen Mother's birthday. , all the shops are closed, I will accompany him there."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yin immediately looked at Yang Nian.

Yang Nian was also puzzled and shook his head at Fu Yin.

But Fu Yin paused here, stopped asking, and only said, "Is there anything else you want to explain?"

Zhao San didn't continue to say what he meant, but replied, "It's gone."

"Look at the confession, is there any problem?" Yang Nian walked down the hall with the paper and red ink pad, and handed it to Zhao San.

"I don't know how to read." Zhao San narrowed his eyes to see these gestures, licked his fingers, wiped the ink pad, and poked it on the paper.

Yang Nian took this opportunity to scrutinize Zhao San again, and then returned to the hall to give the statement to the governor.

"Then go home." Fu Yin gestured.

"My lord!" Zhao San exclaimed suddenly, "What if those people are still in my house? They are all vicious. If something happens to me, who will help the lord investigate the case!"

Fu Yin looked at the people standing outside, and he had no choice but to order the yamen servant, "Then put him in the backyard of the mansion and protect him."

The Yamen servants took orders and took Zhao San down.

"Retire!"

"Yang Nian, quickly sort out these cases and send them to Dali Temple tomorrow, don't stay in our mansion." Fu Yin deeply felt that this case was definitely a hot potato, and he wished to hand over it quickly.

"Yes, my lord." Yang Nian looked at the testimony.

Fu Yin looked at Yang Nian's dignified expression, and wanted to comfort him, "Don't think about it, I guess this has nothing to do with the Prime Minister, you heard it too, that eunuch is not mentally normal."

"Of course, the affairs of the former dynasty and the harem have nothing to do with each other. How could my father have anything to do with those servants?"

"That's right," Fu Yin reassured, and started rambling again, "This kind of murder case should be handed over to Dali Temple, and our little Jingzhou government can't control it."

"My lord, I will retreat first."

"Okay, remember to send it away tomorrow!"

Li Sheng has been waiting for Yang Nian to come out at the back door of the Jingzhou Mansion. Seeing his preoccupation, he couldn't help but care, "Don't worry too much, the teacher is upright and fair, and has nothing to do with this kind of crime."

"Of course I know," Yang Nian said, "There are many doubts about that man, I want to ask my father first."

"Okay, as for the chessboard, do you want me to send it to you?"

"No need, I'll visit your place when I have time," Yang Nian thought for a while, "You go first, don't forget, we can't get too close."

Li Sheng smiled, "You didn't care about these back then."

"Special period, special period." Yang Nian pushed Li Sheng away.

Li Sheng hurriedly said yes, and strode away.

As soon as Li Sheng arrived at the mansion, he called Song Xi to help me find out which palace official served the old eunuch who died in the west of the city. "

"Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

"Which palace does the eunuch working in rush out of the palace, and is willing to live in anonymity in a place like the west of the city, and what kind of secret is going to be told to the prime minister?"

"Maybe it was a victim of the fighting between concubines and concubines during the late emperor's time?"

"How long has the late emperor passed away? How come I think about finding a eunuch now? The more I think about it, the more frightened I become." Li Sheng's hands trembled slightly, "I think Yang Nian has thought of this too, otherwise he wouldn't have kept up with me. distance."

"The king of the county,"

"I naturally hope that I am thinking too much, but if so," Li Sheng lowered his head, "I dare not think about it."

Song Xi knelt down on the ground as soon as he heard this. He couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and looked at Li Sheng expectantly, "Your Majesty,"

"Just check it out first, and we'll make plans when we have definite news."
