Chapter 120 (Please subscribe) Xie took over this matter
On the evening of the third day, Zhao Jin rushed back from Huayang Town after a long journey, but no useful clues were found during this trip.
Liu Bi's parents both died of illness in the second year after he was imprisoned, and relatives at home said they had not seen him for several years.
The four people sat in silence in the room, sighing secretly with solemn expressions. The news of Liu Bi's death weighed heavily on their hearts like a stone.
Chen Ping looked around, and immediately cheered up when he saw this, and said: "We can't give up. Liu Bi mentioned before that as long as we rescue him, we can hand over the record book immediately. So it can be seen that the record book must still be there
In Zhengxing Mansion. He has been imprisoned for several years but he is still so sure that he will not hand over the record book to anyone, because things will inevitably change over time. So I guess he should have hidden the record book in
Where."
Zhao Jin said excitedly after hearing this: "That must be the case. Chen Ping's analysis makes sense."
"Then let's start from the yard where he lived before." Ye Chongwen suggested.
"His previous yard was bought by a hawker many years ago, and it is difficult to enter and inspect it now." He Qingxuan reminded.
"Buy it, buy it for a high price. No matter how much it is, I'll pay for it." Chen Ping's eyes were firm and he was confident.
In the past two years, because Tianxiangge's business has become more and more popular, and the monthly dividends are quite generous, Chen Ping no longer needs to worry about money. Besides, he is already frugal and sends money home every month. According to his mother's words
Said it was to help him save his wife book.
"I'll arrange for people to negotiate. After buying it, I'll ask Brother Zhao to help find it. You are an expert in this area." He Qingxuan said.
Zhao Jin nodded fiercely and said, "Don't worry. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will dig out the record book."
Chen Ping then told Xie Zhiyuan's guess and asked for everyone's opinions on whether he should tell him the whole story.
"The only son of Hanlin bachelor Xie Jinan." Zhao Jin paused and asked, "What do you think of his character?"
"Although Senior Brother Xie is informal, he is generous and loyal and can distinguish right from wrong. I think he is worthy of trust." Chen Ping expressed his opinion.
He Qingxuan said, "Actually, the answer was already the answer when you asked him for help. Wasn't it?"
"No matter what, he helped us this time, otherwise it would have been difficult to see Liu Bi." Ye Chongwen also expressed his approval.
"Liu Bi's death is very strange. If there is really a conspiracy, then he may be more dangerous than us." Zhao Jin was much older after all, so he thought more deeply, "So it's better to tell him the matter, so as to let others know."
He has a defense."
Seeing that no one had any different opinions, Chen Ping brought Xie Zhiyuan to He Mansion the next night.
When several people met, He Qingxuan stood up first and said: "Thank you, brother."
Ye Chongwen and Zhao Jin also raised their hands to signal.
Because Xie Zhiyuan had met Ye Chongwen and He Qingxuan several times before, although he didn't have much conversation, he had already guessed that they were there, so he was not surprised.
After he returned the gift, he looked at Zhao Jin and asked curiously: "I wonder who this is?"
Chen Ping quickly introduced, "Zhao Jin. Brother Zhao used to be the head of Yongshun County. He resigned from the official post after the incident with County Magistrate Wang. Over the years, he has been investigating what happened back then."
Not being a relative or a friend, to be able to do this is really a chivalrous demeanor, which makes Xie Zhiyuan awe-inspiring.
After returning the greetings one by one, he said: "Although Chen Ping and I have known each other for a short time, we fell in love at first sight. I not only admire his talent, but also respect his personality. I have long recognized him as my eldest brother, so his affairs are my affairs."<
/p>
When everyone heard Xie Zhiyuan calling Chen Ping his eldest brother, they all turned to look at him with question marks on their faces.
Chen Ping scratched his head in embarrassment, "Senior Brother Xie likes to play around, don't take it seriously."
"This is definitely not a joke. Since eldest brother has not recognized me, let's discuss our own affairs first." Xie Zhiyuan recognized the truth and there was no doubt about it. He skipped the topic and asked: "Now let's talk about it. What's going on?
What's going on?"
Chen Ping had no choice but to give up and sighed, "Well, let me tell you. After Brother Zhao's investigation many years ago, my teacher Ye Wenchang and County Magistrate Wang were designed to be killed! The matter started six or seven years ago.
Speaking of..."
From the beginning of road construction to the collapse of the river embankment, it became a scar that can never be erased in the hearts of several people.
Every time he brought up old things again, Chen Ping couldn't control his emotions well, and his voice was hoarse with tears in his eyes.
Xie Zhiyuan was calm at first, but later his face turned livid.
"Absurd!" He snapped at the crime and cursed angrily, "A whole twenty lives were lost in vain. It is simply lawless."
Xie Zhiyuan was furious. Although he grew up in the capital, he had seen a lot of battles in the imperial court. The Xie family was ordered by the emperor and they were cautious in everything. His father Xie Jinan was upright and upright, never colluded with others, and was only loyal to the emperor. He
In addition, he was taught by his father's words and deeds, and he had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges since he was a child.
Just now I heard Chen Ping talk about how the Wang County magistrate had fought against all opinions to build the road, and Mr. Ye worked tirelessly to build the dam in the rain, and he was filled with admiration.
Then I heard that the two people were framed to be killed, and their reputations were tarnished by rumors. Such a murderous and heart-breaking act is really intolerable.
"Originally, we had already traced Qi Hongming, thinking that as long as we found evidence, we would have a chance to get him to plead guilty and be punished. But now that Liu Bi suddenly committed suicide, we have no good solution for the time being. We hope to find the record in his former house.
Register."
After Chen Ping narrated the whole thing, he sat on the chair weakly. Several other people looked a little lonely.
"So I asked Chen Ping to invite you here today just to remind you to be careful and pay attention to your safety." He Qingxuan reminded.
"For self-interest, Zhongliang was framed and killed, and the lives of the people were in vain! Such evil behavior cannot be tolerated by nature." Xie Zhiyuan shouted angrily: "Xie has taken over this matter, and I will help you investigate!"
Several people were surprised when they heard this. Ye Chongwen couldn't help but ask: "How do you want to check?"
"Since it is the censor's impeachment, it is natural to start with the censor."
Zhao Jin expressed his concerns, "Qi Hongming is working in Beijing, if there are any clues..."
"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I have my own way. Besides, if Qi Hongming dares to attack me, he will be seeking death." Xie Zhiyuan sneered, "But I won't alarm him. After all, no evidence has been found yet. For the time being,
It’s not advisable to reveal it too early.”
How can he be a reckless person when he is the only son of the Prime Minister, so there is no need to remind him of these things, he is naturally well versed in them.
"I will first try to find out the details of the impeachment that year. I will also send people to inquire about the so-called young master in the north. You just wait for the news."
The four of them stood up and thanked each other. Chen Ping also said: "If Liu Bi's record book is found, I will tell you in time."
After talking, Zhao Jin and Ye Chongwen stayed in He Mansion. Xie Zhiyuan sent Chen Ping to Zhuyuan before returning to his own house.
He ordered Zhang Li behind him: "Let our people move. And from today on, send people to guard Zhuyuan and He Mansion respectively."
Zhang Li asked: "Master, are you worried that they will be in danger?"
"Having learned the whole story today, Liu Bi's death becomes even more suspicious, so I have to take precautions."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
