Sir, I can do it!

The setting sun shines in the west, and the red clouds are flying.

After finishing processing the files on the desk, Wei Zhao moved his sore neck and let out a long breath.

When it was time to leave the Yamen, the colleagues all showed some smiles on their faces and bid farewell to each other.

Colleague A: "Master Shen stayed here again today?"

Colleague B sighed: "It's not because of the old case in Zizhou."

Colleague A: "Isn't this case closed? The murderer has committed suicide in fear of crime, and the file will be filed after the trial."

Colleague B whispered: "I heard that someone appealed for justice, saying that the murderer was someone else."

Colleague A whispered: "Then what does your lord mean to re-examine this case?"

Colleague B stroked his beard and nodded.

Colleague A showed bitterness on his face: "Everywhere is not peaceful this year. Several officials in the yamen have been released to various places. If we re-examine the case of Zizhou, I am afraid that we will not be able to gather manpower for a while."

Colleague B expressed sympathy: "Who said it wasn't? It was so hard to wait until the imperial examination was held last year. Who expected that only 200 people were admitted in the end. There are people scrambling for this point, but Dali Temple didn't grab any of them." on."

Colleague A seconded the suggestion: "Master Shen is very good at investigating cases, but when it comes to fighting against those bosses, tsk tsk, we are still a bit inferior."

Colleague B patted him on the shoulder: "The news is out to you, so you should think about how to recruit people as soon as possible."

Colleague A sighed sadly, suddenly felt that tomorrow's Xiumu would not be so good.

Wei Zhao also heard a little about the Zizhou case.It is said that the brothers fought with their lives for the family wealth.It is said that the clan affairs are handled by the patriarch, and generally things like fighting for family property will not go to the yamen.Even if there is a life lawsuit and there is a clan, the government will weigh the pros and cons and try to delegate power to the clan.

The Wu family that had the accident was not considered a rich family, but a well-known squire in the local area, but his family was rich and his children were rich.It is said that it developed through the relationship between the ancestors.

Which family didn't have any dirty things, even if they fought over family assets, it didn't go to the point of life and death.Some children in the family thought that someone deliberately designed his house, so they got involved with several brothers of the same family and sued the government.Unexpectedly, the matter didn't ease up, instead of talking about it, the fight became more intense, and the whole family died like crazy, so the government paid attention to it.

This case was reported last summer, during the trial of Lu Zhan's case.The case seemed trivial by comparison.Shen Yuan looked at the file at that time and felt suspicious, so he sent a secretary to Zizhou to check it.Knowing that the dispute between the Wu family was purely due to the greed of the clansmen, the murderer had already committed suicide on the spot.

Shen Yuan got Si Zhi's case records, and after review, he found that the case could be justified. Although it is still unacceptable, it is the way things are in the world.He also just sighed, planning to file it after reexamination, and the case will be considered completely closed.

Unexpectedly, one day after the beginning of spring, someone posted an anonymous letter on his Xiaya Road, claiming that there was another murderer in the Zizhou Wu family extermination case.

Shen Yuan suppressed the original case files and planned to retry the case.But there is no one in the Wu family anymore, and it has been more than half a year since the case was reported, and the evidence is insufficient, so the words in the letter alone are not enough to overturn the case.

He was waiting for someone to come up with other evidence later, but he received two letters.The first letter stated that the Wu family had a treasure from the previous dynasty, and the murderer planned to take over the Wu family because of this treasure.

About a month later, he received a second letter.The letter stated that clues to the murderer had been found, and we would discuss it in detail at a later date.

Shen Yuan was waiting for that person to come to his door.It's just that there is still no audio.He faintly sensed that this person might have been in danger.

The cases piled up in Dali Temple are like a mountain, if it is normal, Shen Yuan may not pay special attention to it.But when the letter mentions the previous dynasty, Shen Yuan has to pay attention to it.

Seeing that Shen Yuan has been working overtime for half a month, Wei Zhao expressed his sympathy.Seeing colleagues walking out of the yamen in twos and threes, the yamen was empty after a while.Wei Zhao also only sympathized with Shen Yuan for a while, and went home happily.

Xiaolou had been waiting outside the yamen for a long time. Seeing Wei Zhao come out, he hurriedly put down the car seat and waited for him to get in the car.Wei Zhao walked over slowly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of someone at the entrance of the alley looking towards the yamen from the corner of his eye. It was Xiao Liu who often followed Da Chen.

Wei Zhao asked the coachman to follow, and he walked to the alley and called Xiao Liu to come and talk.

Xiao Liu bowed respectfully, and said: "Brother Chen asked the brothers on the pier to go to Shuntian Mansion to recognize someone in their free time. The villain happened to recognize the person in the painting. He was a Lifu from the west of our city, called Wuli. Yesterday My son asked for half a day's leave, but he didn't come back at night, something happened."

Wei Zhao almost forgot about it, he nodded perfunctorily, and said, "Can you tell Shuntian that the official is on a mission?"

Xiao Liu shook his head: "Brother Chen doesn't know what relationship this person has with Boss Wei, as soon as he recognized him, he called the villain to wait for Boss Wei at the yamen, and obey Boss Wei's orders."

Wei Zhao tapped his head with the handle of his fan, and said, "Shuntian Prefecture is in charge of the Gyeonggi prison proceedings, and this case should have been taken over by Shuntian Prefecture. Since you recognize the person, go to the Yamen."

Xiaolou went up and handed a piece of silver nude to Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu accepted it with a smile, and promised to do a good job for Boss Wei.

When Wei Zhao returned home, he felt that the house was quiet.When I called my servants, I found out how many masters were serving at the old lady of Xikuayuan.

"Is grandma sick?" Wei Zhao asked urgently.

The servant shook his head: "There is someone from the palace."

Wei Zhao suddenly realized that his elder sister's due date is in April, it is believed!

He ordered Xiaolou: "Go to Nanfu and ask Mr. Changsun to come over." After speaking, he hurried to the west courtyard, not even having time to change his official uniform.

Mrs. Wei saw that his forehead was sweating, and said with a smirk, "What's the hurry, I'm afraid it's about to have a seizure right now, I don't know if I can give birth tonight."

Mrs. Wei looked relaxed, but in fact she was more nervous than anyone else.No matter whether you have a child or a daughter, this child is too important.

His whole body was wet and sticky, and Wei Zhao also felt uncomfortable, so he went back to Guiyun Courtyard to tidy up.Just after taking a shower and changing into fresh clothes, Changsun Ke also arrived.

It was dinner time, but because of the sudden news from the palace, people gathered in the Xikuan courtyard.They are all female relatives, so it is naturally inconvenient for Changsun Ke to go there.Wei Zhao knew he was fine right now, so he was not in a hurry to go.Let's just have dinner in our own yard.

Jiang shi smiled and went to the small kitchen to cook a few dishes, which were not as exquisite as the cooks in the house. They were all home-cooked dishes, and they tasted good.Wei Zhao is a person who is used to eating delicious food, and he has a naughty mouth.To him, Jiang's food can only be said to be suitable for his appetite.But he found that Changsun Ke seemed to like food very much, so he also felt that Jiang's cooking was a bit delicious.

The eldest grandson Ke often came to the house, and eight out of ten times he wanted to keep a meal. Jiang was a little cautious at first, and asked Wei Zhao what the eldest grandson liked to eat.Wei Zhao didn't know either.He observed it for a few days, and then found that Jiang Shi seemed to like to eat everything, but he was picky when eating out.He didn't even take a bite of some things outside, but he ate them clean when Jiang made them.

So Wei Zhao came to a conclusion that the dishes made by Mrs. Jiang are very suitable for him, so he can do whatever he wants.However, Mrs. Jiang deliberately avoided the dishes that Wei Zhao said that Changsun Ke never ate outside.

Gradually, Changsun Ke also seemed to find that there was nothing he didn't like in Jiang's cooking, and he was secretly happy for several days because of this.

After eating, Wei Zhao sat at the table with his chin propped up and looked at Changsun Ke: "Don't go back today, I feel a little uneasy."

Changsun Ke was happy to stay.

Wei Zhao started a conversation: "I don't know how my father and elder brother are doing."

Changsun Ke said: "If Beidi aggressively invades, maybe there will be no war in Shuobei area."

Wei Zhao thought so too.Beiyan would never leave her backyard alone and come here to fight Shuobei.Counting the days, his father and elder brother have already arrived in Shuozhou, but it seems that they have not heard any battle reports.

"Actually, in my opinion, the imperial court should first resolve the Weinan issue before discussing the use of troops against Beiyan. If Beidi sends troops, Beiyan will be too busy to take care of itself, and Shuobei will definitely not be able to fight. But Weinan is different. When Weinan is in chaos, the treasury revenue will be reduced. Nearly [-] percent. At this time, foreign troops are being used again, and taxes in various places will increase. At present, the imperial court is recruiting civilians to build sand embankments, and there is no one to cultivate large areas of land, leaving them barren. The emperor’s move is not unavoidable. "

"Changsun Ke said: "The emperor intends to regain Weinan, but he doesn't want to give up Beiyan.The military was rampant, the people were overwhelmed, and the nobles were suppressed too hard, chaos would inevitably arise for a long time. "

Wei Zhao sighed: "The emperor insists on going his own way, and my father is afraid that Beiyan will change, so he tells Beidi to drive straight in. Although he doesn't want to fight, there is nothing he can do about it."

Changsun Ke said: "As long as Wanyanzhe is not stupid, Shuobei should be fine."

Although Princess Yiyang's whereabouts are unknown, there is the Marquis of Zhen Guo in Shuobei, and if Princess Yiyang wants to engage in conspiracy, she has to weigh the weight of Marquis Zhen Guo.If Princess Yiyang can take advantage of Princess Yiyang's departure from Liangzhou and support Prince Sima Shan of Liang to take the throne, Chen Bing's 20 Liang army at the Breaking Snow Pass will not be feared.

Changsun Ke squinted his eyes and took a sip of tea. He tried his best to take precautions everywhere, but there was always a kind of worry.That woman was secretive and cunning. Even though he had been secretly watching her for so many years, he still couldn't figure out the cards in her hand.

Wei Zhao has been looking for topics to chat with him, maybe this can dilute the anxiety deep in his heart.I don't know if he was thinking too much, ever since he learned about the harmful prescription from old doctor Lin, he often dreamed that his elder sister was lying on the couch covered in blood, looking at him with despairing eyes.

He roared vigorously, but no sound came out of his throat. He just watched the elder sister's hand gradually drop, and there was no more sound.

Wei Zhao sat up abruptly, he could still feel his heart beating violently.

"Have a nightmare?"

Changsun Ke sat quietly on the warm couch to adjust his breath, the candlelight was beating, and the orange light was suffocating. His face was soft and inexplicably stable.

Wei Zhao stroked his face and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's three quarters."

"Is there any news from the palace?"

Changsun Ke was about to shake his head when he heard the hurried and chaotic footsteps outside, Wei Zhao threw off the quilt and got out of bed.

Before Xiaolou could knock on the door, Wei Zhao had already rushed to the door.

Xiaolou didn't care about saluting, and said in a panic: "There is news from the palace that the mother's delivery is not going well, and the old lady is about to enter the palace."

There was a loud bang in Wei Zhao's head, and he almost fell over.

Changsun Ke frowned, and hurriedly took out a pill and handed it to Wei Zhao: "It can save your life in critical times."

Wei Zhao took the pill without saying a word, and said, "I will send my grandmother into the palace, and you stay at the house. My sister-in-law and nephew will be entrusted to you to take care of them."

After speaking, he hurried to the Xikuayuan, the old Mrs. Wei was already dressed and was about to go out.

The housekeeper Wei set up the carriage, whipped his whip, and the carriage quickly rushed towards the palace.
