In the Wenyuan Pavilion, I received a memorial from Li Xunhuan, the censor of the Gyeonggi Province of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The contents recorded in it are extremely horrifying.
An infectious disease appeared at the Beijing Water Transport Terminal.
Hundreds of people had died within three days. As soon as the news came out, the central nervous system was shaken.
Epidemics have been an unsolvable problem in all dynasties. Only by God's will or the advent of a miracle doctor can one be spared. Some people even think that the emergence of the plague is a sign that the king has lost his moral character and is now punishing himself with an edict to regret his mistakes.
The Zhou Dynasty worked hard to govern these years. Although there are still many problems in various places, compared with the tyranny of the former Qin Dynasty, how much better it is? How could it lead to epidemics?
After hearing the news, the five great scholars, Wenyuan, Wuying, Wenhua, Chongzheng, and Dongge, immediately gathered in the Dezheng Palace to discuss countermeasures.
"Jingzhao Yinfu Tong Jinyan should be ordered to strictly control the source of the epidemic and prevent the spread of the epidemic!"
"The imperial doctors from Lingtai Hospital are assisting the Jingzhao Yin Mansion!"
Yu Yanyi, a scholar of Wuyingdian University and Minister of the Ministry of War, was decisive in the attack. "When necessary, the Beijing camp can be dispatched to blockade the water transport terminal!"

In Dali Temple
After Yang and Di finished their interrogation, they immediately went straight to Li's house.
Under the busy work of the policemen stationed in the Li Mansion, the body of the maid Lian Xiang was dug up under the trees in Li Bai's courtyard.
While everyone was carefully carrying out the body, Yang Qingyuan was questioning Li Gang, the policeman stationed in the mansion.
"Is there anything abnormal in the Li Mansion?"
Li Gang's answer made Yang Qingyuan frown slightly. There was no trace of abnormality in the Li Mansion. Everyone was under the control of the Dali Temple patrol, staying in the mansion, and no one went out. It was too quiet, but it made Yang Qingyuan feel uncomfortable.
Ordinary!
"Where's the housekeeper Li Zhong?"
"There is nothing unusual at all. In the morning, we were arranging servants in the mansion and setting up a mourning hall!"
Li Gang didn't understand what Yang Qingyuan meant, "Sir! Is there something wrong with this housekeeper?!"
Yang Qingyuan chuckled, "It's not just as simple as a problem?! I will take him back to the office for interrogation later. After that, you must closely monitor the movements of everyone in Li's house, especially beware of anyone contacting the outside world. Once there is any
If something unusual happens, send someone to send a message immediately!"
"yes!"
After arranging everything, Yang Qingyuan looked up at the ancient tree above him. The feeling of being spied on came from this ancient tree.
Thinking of this, Yang Qingyuan once again jumped onto the branches and leaves of the ancient tree. He trusted his spiritual sense very much. If someone really spied on him again at that time, there would definitely be clues left behind.
Yang Qingyuan searched among the branches of the ancient tree, but except for the knife marks left by the fallen leaves that he used Xiao Li's flying knife technique to shoot, there was no other unexpected discovery.
The only thing that was a little abnormal was that half of the feathers of the black bird that was shot past by the fallen leaves were stuck in the trunk of the tree. They should have been driven by the true energy in the fallen leaves.
This half black tail feather is brighter and tougher than that of ordinary birds.
Yang Qingyuan put on his whale skin gloves and put the half of the black tail feather back into the evidence bag.
After a fruitless search, Yang Qingyuan jumped down from the ancient tree.
Di Zhiyuan, who was on the ground, also surveyed the area around the place where Lianxiang was buried. He also asked people to go to the miscellaneous tool room nearby and found the tools that the three of them used to dig the ground.
Di Zhiyuan nodded towards Yang Qingyuan.
"Pack up all the evidence and bring them back to Dali Temple."
Yang Qingyuan took out the already signed arrest document from his sleeve and handed it to the police officer on the side.
"Bring Li Zhongji, the steward of the Li Mansion, back to the house!"
…
In a house in the capital, the men in black from the mysterious organization gathered together again.
"This Yang Qingyuan is indeed not simple. He found out so quickly!" said one of the men in black with a slightly feminine voice.
"So what if we find out? What he found out is the truth, but what does this case have to do with us?" There was unconcealable pride in the cold tone of one of them.
"We must move quickly. Li Xunhuan of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has already reported the water transportation matter to the cabinet. Have you all dealt with it?" asked the feminine leader.
"Hmph! A little censor dared to interfere in our affairs, so I went to do it!!" The sturdy masked man who had been silent said, and the voice sounded like the one who stopped Ye Jianhan that day.
"With you?!" The cold voice was a simple word, but it was full of contempt.
"Bai! What do you mean?! Do you look down on me?! Do you think I can't kill a civil servant?"
The man with a cold voice smiled disdainfully, "Haha, Yang Qingyuan is also a civil servant! You might as well do him!"
As soon as he said this, the masked man immediately lost his momentum.
The fact that Yang Qingyuan and Liu Dufeng exchanged a single move and ended up evenly matched has been widely spread among the Six Dark Departments, and they already know about it. The masked man who was defeated by Ye Jianhan's sword was definitely no match for Yang Qingyuan, a civil servant of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Stop arguing. Yang Qingyuan has a special status. Don't touch him unless you have to! Everyone continues to proceed as planned. The two secret agents of Hulong Villa rush to Japan. Jinyiwei's energy is involved in Yuanmeng in the north. The Shenhou Mansion is tracking down the counterfeit banknotes.
Due to the infighting between the East and West factories due to the vote case, the strength of the Dark Sixth Department in the capital has been reduced to its weakest point. We must seize this opportunity and complete all plans before the Dark Sixth Department reacts!"
The person with the soft voice in the lead ended the quarrel between the two parties and began to make follow-up plans.
…
In Dali Temple.
"Sir, this is the result of our investigation."
Di Zhiyuan handed an inspection report to Yang Qingyuan.
The body of the maid Lianxiang had strangulation marks on her neck and three stab wounds on her chest. Indeed, as Li Afu said, she was strangled and then stabbed to death. It was estimated that she had been dead for more than a day.
"The results are basically consistent with what Li Afu said, and there is not much difference! It can be determined that what Li Afu confessed that day is true!"
Listening to Di Zhiyuan's words, Yang Qingyuan read the report carefully.
It is true that what Di Zhiyuan said is consistent with what Li Afu said, and there is no discrepancy. It can be concluded that what Li Afu said is true.
Then the remaining problem is to get the butler Li Zhong to confess.
Having said that, Yang Qingyuan still felt strange. This case had almost entered a strange process since Lian Xiang's death, and all the news and inferences were going smoothly.
Including the subsequent confessions of Cuizhu and Li Afu, everything seemed too logical, but the evidence in front of him told Yang Qingyuan that there was no problem with the case, it was just his intuition that was wrong.
"But sir..." Looking at Yang Qingyuan who was silent while holding the inspection report, Di Zhiyuan hesitated to speak.
"Zhiyuan, what do you want to say?" Yang Qingyuan saw Di Zhiyuan stop mid-sentence and said, "Although you and I are colleagues in Dali Temple, you are still slightly older than me in terms of age. We are like brothers. Normally,
, you don’t have to stick to your official position, you can speak freely.”
