Long Xingtu's eyelids jumped wildly, and he stammered a little for a while: "Why, why?"
I am only responsible for investigating the case, reporting to the imperial court, and asking the emperor to approve our investigation of Governor Qian at a higher level, is it something you have to worry about, right?
”"You don't understand, the difficulty of this case is not whether the emperor approves it or not, but another case related to the deceased."
Du Mingcheng's solemn expression was something that Long Xingtu had never seen before, he picked up the wine glass and took a heavy sip, his breath was a little anxious, "Of course, if you want to win the emperor's support, you must also get the assistance of Second Master Li."
But most importantly, do you know who Han Tong is?
”"I don't know."
Long Xingtu looked at Du Mingcheng in a daze, and his heart was inexplicably nervous.Du Mingcheng said: "Do you remember the Xia Zhihuai case I told you before?
Twelve years ago, the Yellow River burst, Xia Zhihuai was ordered to provide disaster relief and investigate the corruption case of the Yellow River, passing through Wuyang County, disaster relief materials and gold were robbed, escort officers and soldiers were all killed, Xia Zhihuai's three captains disappeared along with the materials and gold, causing countless victims to starve to death, arousing the anger of the people.And among the three captains, there is one named Han Tong!
”"You......
Are you sure that the red corpse is the missing captain Han Tong?
”The dragon star diagram was shocked, and his face gradually lost its blood.Du Mingcheng shook his head, "I'm not sure, because I don't know what Han Tong's appearance was back then, but Han Tong's seal is indeed an official seal made by the Ministry of Officials, which is completely in line with the identity of the school captain, even if the red dry corpse is not Han Tong himself, it must be related to Han Tong's disappearance!"
Now that the second master is in charge of Dali Temple, he can access all the case files about Xia Zhihuai, and we can only accurately crack the truth if we get more information!
”Speaking of this, Du Mingcheng excitedly grabbed Long Xingtu's arm, and spoke quickly, "Xingtu, do you know why I asked the emperor for an order ten years ago and voluntarily gave up the high-ranking officials of the three-rank cabinet scholars, and went to Wuyang County to be a seven-rank small county order, and kept it for ten years?"
”Long Xingtu was a little confused, "Why?"
”"Promises are made, and loyalty is done."
Du Mingcheng clenched his fists, got up and faced Lang Lang Qiankun outside the hall, he said: "My father and Xia Zhihuai are old friends, after Xia Zhihuai was imprisoned, my father pleaded with the emperor, hoping that the emperor would thoroughly investigate the case, but the power of the court was rampant, and the public resentment caused by the disaster was also rising.Before dying, my father entrusted me that even if the Xia family died, I would exhaust everything, find out the truth, and overturn the case for Xia Zhihuai, so as to comfort Xia Zhihuai's spirit in the sky!
I promised my father.From that day on, I secretly formed an alliance with the Marquis of Anguo, plotting for the same goal. ”"Even if the truth is buried forever and Xia Zhihuai will always be guilty, but he has won the hearts of you righteous and brave people, and I believe he is content."
Long Xingtu was like a fish in his throat, and his wet eyes were suppressed by her hardest, so that no more tears spilled out, "If one day, my long-cherished wish can come true, I think, Xia Xin will definitely kneel to Lord Xie Du and Lord Lingzun, who has passed away!"
”Du Mingcheng rubbed his fists, his bright eyes were full of hopeful light, "The robbery happened in Wuyang County, and the third lieutenant also disappeared in Wuyang County, so we all think that the key to solving the mystery must be in Wuyang County!"
Therefore, I stick to the position of the Wuyang County Order, no matter how sympathetic the emperor is, how the officials arrange the transfer, I will not move the place!
The hard work paid off, and finally let me wait for Han Tong's news!
Then, the whereabouts of the other two lieutenants will definitely pull out the radish and bring the mud to the surface!
”Du Mingcheng suddenly turned around, held her shoulders, and pleaded: "Xingtu, at the moment of the big case, the relationship between children and daughters is a trivial matter, you promise me, you will not give up helping us solve the case because of Second Master Li!"
”The Dragon Star Diagram fell silent, and for a moment, all kinds of emotions came to mind."
I've waited for ten years, and I've finally cleared the fog, and the truth is about to come out, do you want me to fall short?
Star map, you will beg me ......"
"I promise!"
”Long Xingtu's voice was already choked, "Adults don't have to lower their posture, no matter how big or small the case is, it is what I should do."
Besides......
"However, the gratitude in my heart is really unable to explain, it was her responsibility to overturn the case for her father, but I didn't expect that for more than ten years, someone has been sparing no effort to complete this major event for her, and the price and feelings paid are kindnesses that she can hardly repay."
Du Mingcheng was already overjoyed, and he took the opportunity to bring up the old matter again, "Since this is the case, then you must ask Senior Zhong about Xia Xin's whereabouts!"
”"I don't understand, why do you have to find Xia Xin?
She was only six years old at the time, and she didn't understand anything about officialdom and politics, so what could she do to help with this case?
”Long Xingtu was full of suspicions, she always felt that Du Mingcheng had not completely confessed, and there must be other things to hide from her.Du Mingcheng sighed, "Now that the matter is over, I will tell you the truth, finding out the third lieutenant is only the first step, and it can only solve the cause and effect of the robbery, but it cannot completely prove that Xia Zhihuai has nothing to do with the robbery, because it involves the problem of the ledger!"
”"How?""
The key to Xia Zhihuai's death is actually an account book.After the robbery occurred that year, Xia Zhihuai was denounced by Xia Jiunan, the housekeeper of the house, and the evidence was the account book of the embezzlement of river control funds signed by Xia Zhihuai himself, and a letter written by Xia Zhihuai to the third captain, in which he instructed the third captain to guard and steal.Therefore, the physical evidence plus the human witnesses, as well as the three lieutenants who absconded in fear of crime and disappeared, constitute a mountain of ironclad evidence of Xia Zhihuai's corruption!
”"The person who denounced Xia Zhihuai is Xia Jiunan, the housekeeper of Xia Mansion?"
The Dragon Star Chart seems to have heard a big joke, how is this possible?
Xia Jiunan is an old housekeeper who has followed his father for many years, and he has always been loyal to his father, and treats her as a treasure, how can he do evil things that are traitorous to the master?
Du Mingcheng's expression was grim, "It's true!
If it weren't for the informant Xia Jiunan, how could the emperor and the world be convinced?
”Long Xingtu was deeply stimulated, she always thought that the housekeeper also died in that unjust case, but she didn't expect that in addition to her parents, her most trusted housekeeper in the whole house was actually the executioner who killed the whole family!"
Xingtu, do you understand why we are looking for Xia Xin now?""
I guess I understand."
Long Xingtu was full of hatred, so that she couldn't bear to grab the wine jug, and directly raised her head and poured wine into her throat, Du Mingcheng saw this, and hurriedly stopped her movements in surprise, "What are you doing?"

”"My lord, I swear to you, as long as Xia Jiunan is still alive in the world, I will dig three feet into the ground, and I will definitely pull him out!"
Long Xingtu gritted his teeth, and for the first time, his emotions were out of control to the point that he was mixed with personal feelings, and he couldn't face the suspect rationally.
