Chapter 363 Jingzhao Prefecture Takes Action

Su Mansion. Read 520 official website

Inside the room.

Su Shan looked out the window not far away from time to time, with an anxious and worried look.

The window was open a little, and from her direction, she could just see the door to the inner courtyard.

Su Shan was a little restless at this time.

She wanted to get up and go out to look for it several times, but the idea came up for a while and was quickly suppressed.

She couldn't get up.

Even though her legs had recovered and she could walk normally.

But she still couldn't get up or go out.

The Su Mansion was full of that woman's spies, and she was always in danger of exposing her identity.

She had to be weak, and had to be... dying.

Otherwise, once the news of her recovery spread, the consequences would be disastrous.

She would never let herself go!

So, even though she was anxious, Su Shan didn't get up in the end.

She just looked outside the inner courtyard from time to time, and there was still no movement.

There was a little more disappointment in her eyes.

At the same time, the worry in her heart became more and more obvious.

...Something must have happened!

From Li Beifeng's reaction before, Su Shan had realized something.

She was a smart person!

From Li Beifeng's reaction, she had seen some clues.

Especially after he left with Qiuyue, Su Shan felt uneasy.

She probably guessed what was going on... but she was not sure.

She didn't want to believe it.

Sitting by the stove, Su Shan closed her eyes and prayed silently in her heart.

I hope everything... will be fine.

The sound of footsteps outside the inner courtyard gradually came to her ears.

Not long after, a figure appeared at the door of the room.

Push the door and walk in.

A gust of cold wind came into the room, which made people tremble slightly.

Su Shan opened her eyes and saw Li Beifeng appearing in the room.

The door of the room was quickly closed, and the room was still warm as spring.

Very hot!

But Su Shan didn't feel anything.

When she saw Li Beifeng appearing in the room, Su Shan's eyes first lit up with joy.

Then, when she saw that only Li Beifeng was there.

She was stunned for a moment, and her eyes fell on Li Beifeng's face.

His face...

Su Shan's heart, which had been hanging, suddenly sank.

"Qiu, where is Qiuyue?"

Su Shan's voice trembled slightly.

She saw a bad premonition on Li Beifeng's face.

Qiuyue... is there something wrong?

Li Beifeng did not speak.

He walked to Qiuyue in silence.

Su Shan stared at him, and her heart sank more and more.

Her voice began to be anxious and worried.

"Did she... have an accident?"

Li Beifeng looked at her face, and her originally beautiful and fair face was now full of anxious and worried expressions.

Finally, Li Beifeng nodded gently: "Yeah."

In an instant, Su Shan's face turned pale.

His mind was blank in an instant.

"What happened to her...?"

Her voice trembled and her tone stuttered.

At this moment, Su Shan felt dizzy.

If she hadn't been sitting on the chair, she might have fallen down completely at this moment.

Li Beifeng was still hesitating about how to explain to Su Shan, but suddenly he saw that her face seemed a little wrong.

After a moment of daze, he realized something.

"You misunderstood, she's fine, she's fine..."

Li Beifeng shook his head.

Su Shan was stunned: "What... do you mean?"

"She's safe now, she's fine..."

Li Beifeng shook his head. From her face, Li Beifeng could see that she might have misunderstood something.

"..."

Su Shan suddenly fell silent.

At that moment, she really thought Qiuyue was in trouble... At that moment, her mind was blank, and a sad emotion surged in her heart.

Then in the next second, she learned that she had thought too much.

Her mentality fluctuated greatly, and she was a little bit unable to recover for a while.

After she reacted, she glared at him with a slightly ashamed look: "You... can't you make your words clear?"

"You can't blame me for this, right?"

Li Beifeng was a little innocent.

He just didn't know how to explain what happened today to her, and didn't expect her to think too much...

Su Shan glared at him again, reached out and touched her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now... I almost scared her to death.

She really thought Qiuyue had...

At this moment, Su Shan, who slowly calmed her heartbeat, realized something again: "Then... Where is Qiuyue? Where is she now?"

"She is safe now!"

Li Beifeng spoke.

He stared into Su Shan's eyes and hesitated for a moment: "Just..."

"Just what?"

Su Shan hurriedly asked.

"She... got into trouble!"

"..."

After listening to Li Beifeng's story, Su Shan's face turned pale again.

Unbelievable.

"You mean... Qiuyue, she killed a lot of people?!"

"Yeah."

"Then she..."

Su Shan looked anxious and worried: "Then she is now..."

"She is fine now, she is in a very safe place!"

Li Beifeng shook his head, motioning her to rest assured.

Qiuyue is fine now.

At least for now... she is safe.

However, the consequences of the trouble Qiuyue got into this time are immeasurable.

She killed seven or eight slaves of the Jiaofangsi and more than a dozen guards.

More than 20 lives!

So many lives died in her hands. Even if Li Beifeng wanted to protect her, it would not be so easy.

The news has spread.

Li Beifeng has temporarily suppressed the Qintiansi with his status, but the matter needs an explanation after all.

Not to mention, Jingzhao Prefecture will definitely not sit idly by.

The matter is very troublesome!

…

Su Shan was slightly relieved to know that Qiuyue was fine now.

But soon, she looked worried again: "What about her... What should I do next?"

Su Shan was a little flustered.

She knew better than anyone how serious it was to kill someone in the imperial city.

Especially, it involved more than 20 lives... This is too serious!

It was so serious that Su Shan couldn't imagine what to do next!

Even though she was always calm, she was a little panicked at this moment.

"Will she..."

"Don't worry!"

Li Beifeng comforted softly: "I will find a way!"

Find a way?

What way?

Li Beifeng had no idea for the time being.

When Qiuyue went on a killing spree today, he did not stop her.

He could have stopped her, but he did not.

Qiuyue was very angry!

He was also very angry!

So when Qiuyue chose to kill, he watched coldly.

However, when everything calmed down, what needed to be faced was the consequences.

The consequences were serious!

More than 20 lives could not be concealed.

The news had already spread from the Qintian Division, and I'm afraid Jingzhao Prefecture would take action soon!

At this moment, Su Shan, who had gradually regained some calmness, looked at Li Beifeng.

She suddenly grabbed Li Beifeng's hand, with a look of help in her eyes: "Can you... think of a way to save Qiuyue?"

There were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Qiuyue was her maid, and she was also as close to her as a sister!

She knew Qiuyue had committed a serious crime this time, but... but she couldn't watch her get into trouble!

She was powerless.

The only person she could rely on now was Li Beifeng in front of her.

"Don't worry!"

Li Beifeng spoke softly again to comfort her, staring into her eyes, silent for a moment, and then spoke softly: "Don't worry now, I will think of a way... Things are far from being unresolved."

"..."

Li Beifeng's guess was correct. The news of more than 20 lives in the Jiaofangsi soon spread to Jingzhao Prefecture.

The news could not be concealed!

When more than 20 corpses were placed in the Jiaofangsi, Jingzhao Yin Lin Xian, who saw this scene, had a very ugly face.

He was shocked, terrified and angry!

Who did it? !

How dare they kill people in the Jiaofangsi in the imperial city? !

This is a provocation to the imperial power!

This is a naked provocation to the imperial power of Dazhao!

If this case is not handled quickly, it will surely cause an uproar in the court.

At that time, he, Lin Xian, will be the first to be questioned!

"Have you investigated it clearly?!"

Lin Xian asked with a gloomy face.

A constable stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Sir, according to the testimony of the witnesses from the Jiaofangsi, the murderer who killed these people is a woman!"

"Woman?"

Lin Xian said with a cold face: "What woman?"

"It is said that she is a very beautiful woman. As for her identity and origin, it has not been found out yet. But I heard that... the master of the Qintiansi had been here before..."

Lin Xian was stunned: "The Qintiansi has been here? Why didn't the murderer catch it?"

"After the master of the Qintiansi came, I don't know why, he suddenly left... Sir, this matter, I'm afraid there is something strange!"

Lin Xian's face became gloomy again.

The master of the Qintiansi came and left?

Could it be... that the identity of the female murderer is not simple?

Lin Xian's face was uncertain, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Astronomical Office!"

"..."

The Imperial Astronomical Office.

"Master Lin, what are you doing here today?"

Inside the Imperial Astronomical Office, a middle-aged man looked at Lin Xian who came and spoke lightly.

"Protector Cheng!"

Lin Xian bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "I came here today specifically for the case of more than 20 lives in the Jiaofang Office... I heard that the Imperial Astronomical Office had intervened before?"

"So what?"

The middle-aged man spoke lightly.

Lin Xian continued: "Then... I wonder if Cheng Hufa has seen who the murderer is?"

Cheng Hufa glanced at him: "Master Lin, did you come here today just for this matter?"

Lin Xian said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. If the twenty or so lives are not explained, it may cause a lot of turmoil in the capital. If this matter is not resolved, Jingzhao Prefecture and Qintian Division will be implicated... Cheng Hufa should know better than me, right?"

Cheng Hufa was silent!

After a moment, he said: "I am not responsible for this matter!"

Lin Xian was stunned. He knew that the eldest princess was no longer in the capital.

And all the affairs of Qintian Division in the capital were handled by Cheng Hufa in front of him. How could he not be responsible for this matter?

Cheng Hufa said lightly: "This matter is handled by another guardian of Qintian Division...As for Master Lin, if you want to know, go find that guardian!"

Lin Xian was even more stunned: "There are other guardians in the capital?"

"That's natural!"

Protector Cheng glanced at him: "I, Qin Tiansi, have a fifth protector, who happens to be in the middle of the capital..."

"..."

In the imperial city.

The court had just dispersed this morning, and all the officials left the palace.

Although His Majesty has ignored government affairs for a long time, the morning court in the court hall is still going on as usual.

The memorials of the officials will be temporarily handled by Prime Minister Su. As for the memorials that are to be delivered to His Majesty, they will be delivered to His Majesty by the eunuchs beside His Majesty on a special trip.

As for whether Emperor Zhao would read it, that is another matter!

"Su Xiang, stay!"

Just as the officials were leaving, a voice sounded from the side.

In front of the crowd, the old man with white hair slowly stopped.

He was full of energy and radiant, his eyes were somewhat profound, and his whole body revealed an invisible aura.

This person is the current prime minister of Dazhao.

The head of the Su family in the capital, Su Jianan.

Su Jian'an stopped, looked back, and saw a figure walking forward not far away.

"Master Lin?"

Su Jianan paused for a moment: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Lin?"

It was Jingzhao Yin Linxian who appeared.

Lin Xian looked at Su Jian'an with complicated eyes. He hesitated for a moment before suddenly speaking: "Su Xiang, there are some things...I don't know if I should talk about it or not. Maybe I need to ask Su Xiang to talk further..."

"..."

In front of the empty palace square, Lin Xian slowly spoke and informed Prime Minister Su about the previous case of the Jiaofang Division.

After hearing this, Su Xiang's eyes suddenly turned cold: "It's unreasonable. There are people in the imperial city who dare to flout the king's laws like this. He deserves to be punished! Catch Mr. Lin, we must bring the murderer to justice!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Xian's face showed a look of embarrassment: "Xiang Su, this case... is not that simple!"

"What do you mean?" Su Xiang's eyes were a little unkind and he stared at Lin Xian: "Could it be that Mr. Lin still wants to cover up the hidden secrets?"

"Don't you dare to be a subordinate?"

Lin Xian shook his head quickly: "It's just that at this time, I'm afraid it has something to do with you, Mr. Su... To be precise, it has something to do with Mr. Su, your niece from the Su Mansion... I heard that in your home, Mr. Su, there is a man named Miss Su Shan is your niece, Mr. Su?”

Su Xiang suddenly turned around and stared at him, his expression changed drastically: "What do you mean? You mean, this case is related to her?"

Lin Xian nodded slightly: "This case is indeed related to her... to be precise, it is related to the maid next to her..."

When he said this, Lin Xian felt a little heavy.

He never thought that this case would be related to the Su family.

The case is progressing very quickly!

Soon, enough evidence was obtained from the witnesses of the Jiaofang Division. As the investigation continued, the target person was quickly identified.

However, Lin Xian was in trouble when he learned that the murderer was from the Su Mansion.

Where is Su Mansion?

That's Su Xiang's home!

Who dares to make mistakes among ordinary people?

Even if Lin Xian had a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to go to the Su Mansion to get someone!

But...the case will still be solved after all!

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xian finally chose... to find Su Xiang first.

If you want to go to the Su Mansion to arrest someone, you must first get the approval of Prime Minister Su.

After listening to Lin Xian's explanation, Su Xiang's face became a little gloomy.

He stared at Su Xiang and spoke slowly: "You mean, the murderer was the maid next to Shan'er?"

Lin Xian was a little hesitant to look into Su Xiang's eyes: "Based on the current evidence, this is indeed the case."

Su Xiang was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "This matter...is related to Shan'er?"

"this……"

Lin Xian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "That's not true...According to the investigation of the lower officials, the reason why Qiuyue went on a killing spree in Jiaofangsi was all because Qiuyue had a sister named Qiu Xin...how many times A few months ago, Na Qiuxin committed suicide in Jiaofangsi..."

"Therefore, Qiuyue's revenge on the Jiaofang Secretary afterwards can be completely explained..."

Seeing that Su Xiang was still silent, Lin Xian finally spoke tentatively: "I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with Miss Su. It's all the maid's unauthorized behavior... This person is murderous and cruel. If he stays with Miss Su, I'm afraid he will It’s not good for Miss Su…”

Su Xiang's eyes turned gloomy, and he glanced at Lin Xian: "You are Jing Zhaoyin of the capital, and you are the official of the people of the capital. If a murder occurs, you must bring the murderer to justice and give everyone a chance." Explain, do you understand?”

Lin Xian was determined. He bent down and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will definitely...bring the murderer to justice, and I will never wrongly accuse any good person."

"..."

early morning.

When Li Beifeng just woke up, he heard noise coming from outside the door.

"What happened?"

Li Beifeng opened the door and saw Lin Ning's figure outside the inner courtyard.

"The protector...the people from Jingzhao Mansion are here!"

Hearing this, Li Beifeng already understood.

Sure enough, it came!

It’s quite fast!

"Is someone from Jingzhao Mansion here?"

Shen Qingning and Yun'er, who walked out of the room at the side, became anxious when they heard the news: "Then, what should we do now?"

"It's okay, I'll go out and take a look!"

Li Beifeng shook his head, turned around and stepped into the inner courtyard.

After leaving the inner courtyard, we came to the gate of Su Mansion.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Su Mansion, I saw a dozen yamen police officers standing outside the door.

In front of the constable stood a middle-aged man.

His eyes were deep and oppressive.

This man was none other than Lin Xian, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture!

When Li Beifeng came out, Lin Xian's eyes fell on Li Beifeng, and then his eyes fixed.

"Mr. Lin?"

Li Beifeng glanced at him and recognized his identity, and chuckled and said, "Mr. Lin, what are you doing here today?"

"You... are the new guardian of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau?"

Lin Xian also quickly recognized Li Beifeng's identity.

"Exactly!"

Lin Xian bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect the new guardian of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to be so young and promising..."

Li Beifeng smiled and said, "No, no, Mr. Lin is still strong and should not be underestimated..."

As people from different departments and institutions, the two finally revealed their purpose after praising each other.

Lin Xian looked at Li Beifeng, put away the smile on his face, and slowly said: "Protector Li, I came to the Su Mansion today because of the more than 20 lives lost in the Music Bureau yesterday... I wonder if Protector Li can give an explanation?"

"Of course!"

Li Beifeng answered easily: "What explanation does Lord Lin want?"

"I don't know, is Qiuyue here?"

"No!"

"..."
