On the carriage, Lu Qingfan showed no trace of decadence. Looking at the little woman sighing deeply, he couldn't help but ask: "Why, you're not happy?"

"Yes. Wang Shishu's fingers are fake, and there are many clues in his actions... everything is clearly consistent with the evidence we have obtained, but due to some shortcomings, he cannot nail this murderer."

Moreover, the mysterious person behind Wang Shishu took away the account book.

Yun Xi looked at the account book, and there was nothing weird in it, except that the Wang Tong family received a lot of monthly gifts and pension money.

Why did you steal the account books? Is the purpose behind it related to blowing up the Huifeng Inn and killing the Eighth Jiangnan Students?

They have not fastened the most important link in the middle.

"Wang Shishu won't last long." Lu Qingfan snorted coldly: "He is just the bait thrown by the criminal."

Yun Xi was startled when he heard this: "Why do you say that? Have you guessed something?"

"A little inference." Lu Qingfan did not explain clearly.

He had seen people behave like this when he was in the military.

Lu Qingfan saw that Yun Xi had been staring at him and wanted Lu Qingfan to explain clearly. He had no choice but to shake his head and smile, so he had to mention this strange thing:

"Have you ever noticed that all aspects of this person are in line with our inferences about the murderer, but there are some weird things that are difficult to predict clearly, making him look like a murderer, but not like a murderer?"

He said that Yun Xi's master and servant nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and couldn't agree more.

"Because he is fake."

Yun Xi was extremely intelligent and immediately realized: "Sir, are you saying that this is a 'fake real murderer' thrown out by the people behind the scenes?"

She thought for a moment and finally figured out the key. Her eyes were bright: "Yes! If you put it this way, doesn't it all make sense?"

But even so, a new question arises: Why did Wang Shishu help others take the blame?

Killing a whole family is a capital crime!

"We'll find out once we check." Lu Qingfan said, "I've asked the secret guards to take care of it."

That's good.

Yun Xi felt relieved and stopped worrying, and went back to rest with Qing Guo.

Watching the carriage leave, Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great."

"What's wrong, miss?" Qingguo took his miss's hand and walked into the yard: "This slave is still thinking that we don't have accurate information about the case. It's hard for you to worry about it."

Originally it was.

Yun Xi smiled. She was still a little heavy-hearted just now, but after Lu Qingfan's words, her mind was relieved.

Such feelings are so beautiful.

With her cherry lips raised in a beautiful arc, Yun Xi raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, feeling a confidence she had never felt before in her heart.

She and Mr. Lu will definitely be able to hold on until the clouds clear and the moon shines.

Early the next morning, Master Yunxi went to the office on time and followed Master Ran Piao to investigate the three officials from the Ministry of Industry.

Master Ran gave Yun Xi instructions on the way. One of the two was responsible for singing the white face, and the other was responsible for singing the red face. He also asked Xiao Qingguo to go outside to inquire about the official voices of the three, and he would definitely gain something.

"We must not alarm Mu Shangshu about this matter, otherwise he will become a frightened bird and drag us around asking questions."

Since the last time when the three departments and two departments jointly tried to investigate the death cases of more than a hundred major officials, Mr. Ran has discovered that Muyi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has no backbone. He often wants to muddy the waters rather than trying to muddle through.

Lord Lu, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is a little inferior!

Yun Xi couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Yes, it all depends on Master Ran's arrangement."

"You girl, don't tease me," Ran Piao looked at Yun Xi with wide eyes and said, "I feel guilty."

"Yes yes yes."

The group of people arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Works and split up as mentioned before.

Qingguo has a cute little face, and she quickly gets to know everyone as she walks among the crowd.

Yun Xi and Ran Piao came to the mission room of the Ministry of Works with peace of mind. During this period, the three senior workers with the word "ping" in their names, He Yuping, Wei Jianping, the supervisor, and Ning Pingye, deputy director of the maintenance office, were also on the mission.

The room is waiting.

Ran Piao and Yun Xi met with the three of them, and Ran Piao asked the three of them what they had been doing, where they were when the fire broke out, and what they were responsible for in the Ministry of Works.

After asking, Ran Piao looked at Yun Xi and received an innocent look from the little girl. He kept blinking, signaling Yun Xi to dress up.

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "My lords, could you please recount the course of action that you and others just mentioned in reverse order?"

"Nonsense! Mr. Ran, our Ministry of Industry is busy with affairs. If we finish asking..."

The first person to be dissatisfied was He Yuping, a member of the Ministry of Works. There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, "Although our Ministry of Works is at the bottom of the six ministries, we should not be bullied like this."

"Master He has misunderstood." Yun Xi blinked: "The explosion of fireworks and the death of a student are closely related to you. How can we talk about being innocent or not? Since you are all innocent, you should not be afraid to ask."

The other two adults also felt that He Yuping's reaction was a bit excessive. However, since Mr. He was a fifth-rank official, they could not overstep Mr. Shangfeng and take over the right to speak.

Ran Piao knew the thoughts of people like He Yuping best, and sighed helplessly: "Master He has reached the fifth rank in his thirties. He is so much better than Ran, how can he be so humble?"

He looked around and lowered his voice and said: "This interrogation of confessions is a routine matter. If you don't do it, you will be suspected. When the time comes, let our thorny boss Lu Shilang personally mention the person. If we disturb the Minister of Mu, everyone's face will be lost."

It doesn’t look good, what do you think?”

He Yuping's expression changed for a moment, and he whispered: "What are you investigating? Please tell me the truth. How can you tell the difference between three bowls of tofu and three bowls of tofu?"

Wei Jianping and Ning Pingye both nodded in agreement.

Yun Xi's eyebrows narrowed slightly, and she secretly thought to herself that he is such a good official!

How did he know there was another case behind this case?

"It's scary to say the least. In Wangjia Village, even the village that specializes in making fireworks fields, there are still people dying! They are all talking about killing the whole family..." Ran Piao said while winking at Yun Xi, signaling her to pursue the victory.

When the three of them heard that there was another case involved, their expressions became shocked.

"Another person died?" Wei Jianping's expression was grim, and he thought no wonder the people from the Ministry of Punishment were questioning the officials from the Ministry of Works.

Some of the fireworks and other matters have to go through the hands of the Ministry of Industry.

Yun Xi said mysteriously: "That family of three was killed by a man with a hand disability... The murderer also stole the ledger of the fireworks venue late at night. Mr. Lu Shilang guessed that this person must have some connection with the Ministry of Industry.

Otherwise, why would you steal this year’s account books?”

As soon as these words came out, both Wei Jianping and Ning Pingye turned their attention to He Yuping, a member of the Ministry of Industry.

He Yuping said angrily: "What are you looking at me doing? Even if the accounts between the Ministry of Works and local governments need to go through my hands, that doesn't mean that I am corrupt, right?"

Naturally, no one dares to say that Mr. Shangfeng is greedy for ink, but it is true that this account book did not pass through the hands of the other two officials.

Compared with the two of them, He Yuping is more suspected.

"Hey, Mr. He, you have something to say! Of course, to prove your innocence, I have to ask you to hand over this year's account books to us for a look."

Ran Piao took retreat as an opportunity to advance and made one more request.

He Yuping glanced at his two colleagues and then at Yun Xi, who had a serious look on his face. He knew that he might not be able to avoid this incident, otherwise wouldn't it look like he had something in his heart?

"That's all, you can only watch it, you can't record it and take it away." He Yuping said solemnly.

"The Punishment Department is aware of Sir's difficulties and will never cause further trouble." Yun Xi nodded.

It's a pity that He Yuping didn't know that Yun Xi had quite a photographic memory, so it was no problem to keep silent accounts.

Ran Piao felt increasingly secretly proud.

In less than an hour, Yun Xi and Ran Piao said goodbye and left the Ministry of Works. Before leaving, they did not forget to mention the green fruit that Zheng Mao was eating among the crowd.

On the way back, I was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube and seemed to be talking about three adults: Wei Jianping did not have a high official position, but his family was wealthy. He only wanted to be an official in the court, so he always acted in a loose manner; Ning Pingye, although there were three people

He is the lowest-ranked person in the family, but he has a good background. He has a relative who is a relative of the emperor. When he was working as an errand in the Ministry of Industry, he had to show courtesy to the left and right ministers.

Speaking of this, Ran Piao then remembered, "The relative in Ning Pingye's family must be General Zhenguo Jiang Jin, right? A cousin from Ning Pingye's mother's family, according to his seniority, he has to call him General Zhenguo.

uncle."

Jiang Jin, the general of Zhenguo, was a great figure. When he was young, he followed the late emperor on the battlefield, and later he served as Minister of War. Now he is being raised at home.

With this kind of relationship, don't the people from the Ministry of Industry have to be polite to Ning Pingye?

"That's right, that's right," Qingguo nodded: "It is indeed the one Lord Ran said, that crooked relative and servant who really can't remember."

Yun Xi nodded: "So, among the three of them, Yuan Wai Lang is the only one with a worse background?"

"How did Miss guess it?" Qingguo's eyes widened in surprise: "I haven't told you yet!"
