Seeing that the King of Qi’s face was a little abnormal, Liu'er said to the maid: "Recalling again, what are the characteristics of that person?"

The maid laughed, "Young Master, didn't you say you were your friend?"

Why don’t you even know who he is?”

The King of Qi took out the token from Jingzhao Mansion and said in a deep voice: "I am from Jingzhao Mansion. I am chasing a thief in the rivers and knowing that he had been on a pleasure boat, so I came to check if there were any traces left here. Just remember carefully what characteristics this person has."

When they heard that they were from the government, Liu'er and the maid were both shocked and their attitude became respectful.

"Is this thief the one who killed Chunniang?"

Liu'er's face turned pale and said to the maid: "You have to think about it quickly. If the murderer is found, it will be better to avenge Chunniang."

Liu'er thought about it hard, but still didn't think of any characteristics. She said dejectedly: "The man was about forty or fifty years old, with gray hair on his temples and a jade ring on his hand. I really couldn't think of the rest."

After the King of Qi returned from Xisu River, he went back to Jingzhao Mansion directly.

He sat in the study room in a daze for a long time, only explaining to the people outside. If the prince comes back, he will ask the prince to go to the study room to find him.

Yu Wenhao didn't return to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office until almost midnight. When he learned that King Qi was waiting for him in the study, he drank a pot of water and went to the study to find him.

Seeing that King Qi was pale, he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

The King of Qi raised his head and even breathed a little hard, "Fifth Brother, I went to the side of the pleasure boat today and picked up a piece of stuff from the pleasure boat. Look."

He trembled his hands, took out the black iron sign from his arms, placed it on the table, and then his hands quickly shrank away, as if the iron sign was hot.

Yu Wenhao looked over at the sight and his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly reached out and took it up to find the engravings. When he saw the three characters, he was shocked.

"This black iron brand was rewarded by the Emperor's Grandpa during his reign, and it totaled only five yuan."

Yuwenhao looked at King Qi, "Did you find it from the pleasure boat?"

"That's right, it turns out that Chunniang's maid was sick on the night of the eighth day of the lunar month and did not go to serve her. She called another maid, who said she picked up this iron sign that night."

King Qi looked at Yu Wenhao and was stunned and confused, "Fifth Brother, the three words are engraved on this black iron sign. This is my father's."

Yuwenhao immediately asked, "Who have you seen this brand for?"

"No."

The King of Qi immediately shook his head, "How dare I show it to others?

I got the sign and came back immediately. I also painted the portrait of my father and showed it to the maid. The maid said it looked very similar, but I was not sure."

Yuwenhao angrily scolded, "Are you crazy?

How could I draw a portrait of my father for them to show?

Did you get the portrait back?"

"Take it, tear it up."

The King of Qi's face turned pale, "Fifth Brother, the father's father carries this Xuan Iron Brand with him, but how could the father steal the military map?

He wanted a military map and just ordered someone to send him to the palace."

Yuwenhao shook his head, "It's not the father, but this person can contact the father at any time, and even steal the black iron sign that the father takes with him. He knew that we would go to the pleasure boat to investigate, so he asked the maid to give us the sign. He wanted to stop us from investigating, and at the same time warned us that he could contact the father and even attack the father. This was a threat."

"But, this brand is the maid..." King Qi thought about it and immediately understood, "The maid was bribed. No, I want to go find her."

"No need to go there in person, send someone, I'm afraid that the people on the pleasure boat will be silenced at this moment."

Yuwenhao looked at him expressionlessly, "This is a game, Lao Qi, you are in trouble."

King Qi fell on the chair, "Oh my God!"

Soon, someone went to the Ministry of Justice to report that a pleasure boat caught fire on the Xisu River. None of the three people on the pleasure boat could escape and were burned to death in the fire.

People from the Ministry of Justice immediately went to Xisu River to investigate, and someone recognized the King of Qi in the nearby pleasure boat, saying that the King of Qi had caught fire after the King of Qi left.

The boatman who left the boatman of Duqi, who also proved that when he left, smoke began to emerge from the boat.

The Ministry of Justice sent this case back to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Because the Ministry of Justice first came into contact with this case, Yu Wenhao had no room for favoritism and could only deal with it based on the superficial evidence. As long as he was biased, the trouble would be transferred from the King of Qi to him.

Without warning, the other party seemed to have taken them all in a slap, but they didn't even know who the enemy was.

The King of Qi was the prince of the current dynasty, the legitimate son of the emperor and empress, and had a noble status. When there was only preliminary evidence of confession, he did not need to be detained. He was temporarily removed from his post as Jingzhao Prefecture and was arrested in the back yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture for summons at any time.

King Qi felt deeply depressed. He wanted to find the murderer for Lu Yuan, but he didn't know that he had trapped himself.

Yu Wenhao entered the palace to report and presented an iron plate.

Emperor Mingyuan was stunned. This iron card had always been on him, and he didn't know when it would be lost.

Yuwenhao said helplessly: "Father, Lao Qi is now being taken to Jingzhao Mansion, but he can't defend himself, let alone give up this iron card. What do you think?"

Emperor Mingyuan's face was ashen, "I have always carried this brand with me. I can get close to me. There are not many people in detail. Who do you think is the most suspicious?"

"The father and the emperor don't know when this brand will be gone, so it's not easy to really speculate that someone will come."

Yuwen Hao said.

Those who can approach him and serve him are not only the palace servants who take care of their daily life, including the concubines and concubines, and sometimes even when discussing politics, some ministers can contact him, and they can reach out to support him or hand him over the cloak with considerate clothes.

Emperor Mingyuan thought for a long time and had no idea, and said angrily: "This person is lurking beside me, I'm afraid it's not a day or two. You must find this person out, otherwise how can I rest assured?"

"Old Qi..." Yu Wenhao looked at him.

Yu Wenhao had some idea in his mind, but he still had to listen to what his father meant.

Emperor Mingyuan frowned, "What else can you do?

Continue to investigate and deal with it, and finally find a reason to let it go. There are many people in the fourth place in the Ministry of Justice. You and the fourth place should be combined and tell him that I just need to let Lao Qi go out of the charge. The purpose of framing him is to divert his attention. It is not necessary to make it difficult for Lao Qi, so this matter is easy for the Ministry of Justice and your Jingzhao Mansion."

Asking for help from King An is also what Yu Wenhao means, so after hearing Emperor Mingyuan's words, his heart was a little relaxed.

Emperor Mingyuan paused and said, "You ask Lao Qi to bear it. Since he is involved in this matter, he will inevitably suffer a little. If you have a bitter plan, the Ministry of Justice will be able to do things."

"Yes, my son knows!"
