Boss: "Even if it's a trap, you have to go. Don't forget the master's explanation. If there are clues left in this incident, our brothers' heads will not be able to be kept."

Of course he knew that this was most likely a trap set by the enemy.

But the genius of this trap is that they knew it was a trap, and they had to take the initiative to jump into it.

They could die if they jumped in.

If they don't jump in, they won't be able to explain to the master after they go back, and they will definitely die.

That being the case, it's better to gamble.

Before leaving, the boss deliberately bowed to the statue of the Bodhisattva, hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless them so that they could retreat completely.

The Bodhisattva statue in the temple has been slanted to one side, half of its body is broken, and its body is covered with thick dust, but its face still has a sympathetic smile.

When the sky is completely dark, the waiting in the inn may be blown out.

All fell asleep.

In the silent darkness, someone sneaked into the inn and found the place where the killer was imprisoned.

The ropes on the killer were cut.

He raised his head, and his tousled hair was parted to the sides, revealing a completely unfamiliar face.

That's not a killer at all!

The person who came was shocked, knowing that he had been tricked, and immediately wanted to jump out of the window to escape, but was caught by Xiao Lingfeng, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, other places in the inn also remembered the crisp sound of weapons colliding.

After a long time, these sounds gradually calmed down.

The lanterns were lit one by one, and the killers who broke into the inn were tied up and thrown into the backyard.

Li Qingyan put his hands in his sleeves, looked at the embarrassed killers in front of him, remembered the unfortunate sacrifice of the book boy and his entourage, Junxiu's face was covered with frost, and there was no warmth in his eyes.

Xiao Lingfeng strode over carrying the last killer.

He casually threw the person to the ground, looked at Li Qingyan, and asked.

"Everyone is caught, what should I do next?"

Li Qingyan: "Send the person to Shengjing City and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment."

Xiao Lingfeng hesitantly said, "What if someone interferes with it? After all, the real culprit behind the scenes has not been found, and no one knows how powerful he is. Let's have a first trial to see if we can find something useful."

Li Qingyan glanced at him.

Xiao Lingfeng thought he would dissuade him, but saw that he just smiled inexplicably.

"Okay, since you don't mind wasting your time, let's try it out. I'll give you one night. If it doesn't work, I'll send the person to the Ministry of Punishment."

Xiao Lingfeng said there was no problem.

He stayed up all night and interrogated the killers one by one.

When it was bright the next day, when Li Qingyan got up to have breakfast, when he saw Xiao Lingfeng's gloomy and gloomy face, he suddenly understood everything.

Li Qingyan smiled and said, "It's hard work."

Xiao Lingfeng: "They won't say anything."

Li Qingyan: "It's normal."

Seeing him so calm, Xiao Lingfeng couldn't help but ask.

"Did you guess it would be such a result?"

Li Qingyan: "They are not ordinary killers. You can't ask anything by threat of force alone. Interrogating prisoners should still be done by professionals. The whole Dasheng Dynasty is the most professional place for interrogating prisoners. , except for Dali Temple, which is the Ministry of Punishment."

Xiao Lingfeng sighed: "I originally didn't believe in evil, I wanted to try it out, but I didn't expect that my efforts would be in vain in the end."

Li Qingyan: "It's the job of the Ministry of Justice to interrogate prisoners. You don't need to do all the work for them, and they won't give you bonuses."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingfeng smiled: "It makes sense."

After breakfast, Xiao Lingfeng set off immediately, preparing to escort those killers back to Shengjing.

Li Qingyan had to go to Fengyang County to supervise the tax reform.

The two sides parted ways at the gate of the inn.

Before leaving, Xiao Lingfeng also specially selected ten elite soldiers for Li Qingyan and asked them to escort Li Qingyan to Fengyang County.

Li Qingyan thanked him, got on his horse neatly, and prepared to leave.

Xiao Lingfeng suddenly stopped him.

"I've always wanted to ask you something, but I haven't found the opportunity before."

Li Qingyan looked back at him and said with a smile, "You want to ask Concubine Xiao about it, right?"

Xiao Lingfeng was surprised: "How do you know?"

Li Qingyan: "The only person who can make General Xiao care so much and has a relationship with me is Concubine Xiao."

Xiao Lingfeng sighed: "I really wanted to ask Concubine Xiao about it. I heard that the last person she saw before she left was you. I want to know if Concubine Xiao is really dead?"

Li Qingyan: "Before she left, she really said that she would not live long."

Xiao Lingfeng: "Why? Could it be that she is seriously ill?"

Li Qingyan: "I don't know, but looking at her reaction at the time, it doesn't seem like she's lying."

After being together for such a short two days, Xiao Lingfeng has already understood how strong Li Qingyan's observation is, and how smart his brain is. Since he said that Concubine Xiao did not lie, then Concubine Xiao is likely to be true. talk.

She really doesn't live long.

Time has passed so long, maybe she died quietly in a small remote place.

I don't know if anyone will take care of her.

Xiao Lingfeng was silent.

Even if he has no feelings for Xiao Xixi's daughter, he is still his daughter after all.

Now that the white-haired man is sending the black-haired man, he always feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Li Qingyan said, "I hope you feel sorry."

Xiao Lingfeng waved his hand: "It's alright, you can go, we will meet again when you have time."

Li Qingyan: "Farewell, there will be an appointment later."

He rode away, followed by ten soldiers on horseback.

Xiao Lingfeng stood there for a while.

When the melancholy in his heart dissipated a little, he turned on his horse and returned to Shengjing with people.

When they return to Shengjing, it will be ten days later.

All the killers were thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The emperor ordered that the case be handed over to Dong Mingchun, the Minister of Punishment, and ordered him to find out the truth within three days.

In order to complete the task assigned by the emperor, Dong Mingchun had to stay up late to work overtime.

For the next three days, Dong Mingchun lived directly in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, investigating the case day and night, frantically urging his subordinates to collect information.

As for the killers locked in the cells, they have been tortured many times by them tossing and turning, and now they only have the last breath left, and it is simply better to die than life.

Hard work pays off.

Dong Mingchun finally found out the truth on the last night.

Before dawn on the fourth day, he was wearing a wrinkled official uniform and walked out of the gate of the Punishment Yamen with a haggard face, preparing to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

It happened that Mei Guangtao, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, passed by in a carriage.

He saw Dong Mingchun through the car window and immediately had the carriage stop.

He jumped out of the car, cupped his hands towards Dong Mingchun, and said with a smile.

"Dong Shangshu came to work so early?"

Dong Mingchun twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled.

Mei Guangtao must have heard about his crazy overtime work recently, this guy is deliberately laughing at him!

...

Good morning everyone~

Mei Guangtao: Are you happy working overtime?

Dong Mingchun: = dish =
