When Gu Zhao walks on the road, everyone who passes by will greet her affectionately, and she can also remember everyone's name and identity, and respond with a smile one by one.

Lu Qi and the fat man beside him followed Gu Zhao and the agents from a distance. The fat man couldn't help but marveled, "With such a memory, how could he only pass the top three exams?"

If He Zhao was a second-class Jinshi, with his talent, he would never be a county captain in such a remote border town. It would be too unqualified.

Lu Qi's eyes were also full of strangeness.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he changed Yuan Qingzhen to Enke, and used his own people. It took him five or six years to put the court in order.

Lu Qi, one of his own who had joined Emperor Qingzhen when he became the crown prince, was one of the first people to be placed in the officialdom by Emperor Qingzhen.

He started as a minor official in the Sixth Department and did not make any mistakes before he got the position of the governor of Yong County.

In order to understand the true situation of the various places under his jurisdiction, Lu Qi personally inspected each county government. Unexpectedly, at this last stop, he discovered a real talent.

Lu Qi turned forward and found that the target he was considering for promotion was standing in front of him, looking at him coldly.

The head of the police squad pressed the hilt of the knife and shouted sharply, "You two have been following my lord in a sneaky way. What do you want?"

Lu Qi cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Please don't misunderstand, sir. I just heard about your heroic deeds, admired you in my heart, and wanted to make friends with you."

Looking at this once-familiar face, Gu Zhao thought to himself, what a good day today is? First Qin Xinglie, then Lu Qi, all squeezed in to show up on this day.

Is something big going to happen? She, a local snake in Shicheng, doesn't even know it, but these big shots all feel it?

In a small place like Shicheng, unless Donghao's army attacks the city, it is very peaceful most of the time.

If there was anything major that happened during this period, it would be this serial murder case.

Gu Zhao looked at Lu Qi with a deep look in his eyes. Could this serial murder case have anything to do with the court?

"This brother has a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing. He must be no ordinary person." Since Lu Qi did not admit his identity, Gu Zhao was not interested in exposing it - once it was revealed that Lu Qi was her immediate superior, she would have the next command authority.

Shouldn't it be left to Lu Qi?

Even though Lu Qi was her former good partner, Gu Zhao had no idea of ​​restraining himself.

Lu Qi smiled and said, "My surname is Lu Qi. I came to Beijing. When I was studying, I wanted to mount my horse to attack Kuang Hu and get off my horse to write military letters. After I traveled to northern Xinjiang, I heard about your deeds and admired you very much, so I didn't try to guess."

I am taking the liberty to follow you, hoping to make friends with you."

"Please don't blame me, sir."

Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you are serious. I am just fulfilling my duties to protect the country and the people. It doesn't count. I have something to do today, so I can't chat with Mr. Lu for the time being. When I am free later, I will invite Mr. Lu

Young Master drinks wine to make amends."

With that said, Gu Zhao was about to move forward.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qi followed closely as if he didn't understand what she meant, "What are you going to do, Master He?"

The head of the police squad glared at Lu Qi displeasedly, feeling that the sudden appearance of Lu Qi was very suspicious, and he might be the real murderer.

Lu Qi seemed not to notice the ferocious look in the eyes of the detective squad leader, and said to himself, "I saw someone running out of the alley today, saying that someone was dead. Is Mr. He going to investigate this murder case?"

"What's going on with you? Are you allowed to inquire about the Yamen's affairs at will?" The head of the police squad widened his eyes and put his hand on the handle of his knife. The other police officers also made a gesture of taking action at any time.

The fat attendant hurriedly wanted to explain, but Lu Qi stopped him, "Master He is so wise, he can naturally tell whether I am good or bad."

Gu Zhao didn't speak, just looked at Lu Qi quietly.

After not seeing each other for several years, Lu Qi has grown a little taller, and his body looks a lot stronger. His eyebrows are slanted, his eyes are bright, and his expression is confident. He is almost exactly the same as Lu Qi, the left minister in his previous life.

It seems that he is doing well under Emperor Qingzhen.

When Lu Qi used the crane incident to frame Qin Youjin, Gu Zhao was still guessing who his real master was. Later, as Lu Qi rose up the official ranks of Emperor Qingzhen, the answer to this question naturally came.

If the governor of Yong County wants to kill a few gangsters, why should he resort to such a shameful method? With just one command, the government officials can kill those gangsters who have been sneaking around all year round.

Facing Gu Zhao's sharp gaze, Lu Qi just stood there with a smile, letting her look at him from head to toe.

"I was about to investigate this case." Gu Zhao turned around and said, "If Mr. Lu is interested, you might as well come together and get some ideas."

Lu Qi happily accepted, "If this is the case, then Lu will really bother you."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Gu Zhao and Lu Qi walked side by side, and Gu Zhao introduced the entire case to him without any haste.

Lu Qi listened and nodded, knowing that the other party had probably recognized his identity. Otherwise, with He County Lieutenant's steady style, it would have been impossible to tell him this confidential thing.

"Sir, this is the residence of Mrs. Zhong." Standing in front of a courtyard with white walls and black tiles, the police officer introduced.

Mrs. Zhong is the newly widowed young woman. She came to Shicheng with a considerable amount of assets and opened a leather goods store. She also has some nursing staff at home. She can be regarded as one of the more eye-catching people in Shicheng in recent months.

outsiders.

Gu Zhao and his entourage came to the door, and as soon as they reported their identities, they were immediately given a grand reception.

Mrs. Zhong went out to greet her personally.

This was a young woman in her mid-twenties, tall, handsome, with watery eyes. She looked at Gu Zhao as if they were old acquaintances.

Gu Zhao somewhat understood why her deceased husband's tribe had expelled her. Mrs. Zhong's appearance and behavior could easily cause some misunderstanding.
