The others also understood one after another that the poison that had put Qiu Jun to death was actually in the tea leaves. In this way, the two servants who were called back and forth were naturally innocent.

"Who is the person in charge of tea in your Marquis' Mansion, especially the person in charge of tea for Yicheng Hou? Come and find me quickly!" Sun Bi spoke immediately.

The two brothers Qiu were also shocked at this time and quickly replied quickly. At the same time, they felt even more scared. The tea they used on weekdays was also arranged by the servant named Qiu Qing. If he really had problems, wouldn’t the life and death he had to wait for were all in his thoughts?

Then there was another wait. It was only after noon that someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the marquis's manager named Qiu Qing had already fled one step earlier. I have sent a large number of people to search for his whereabouts in the city. I will definitely be able to capture people before dark today!"

This time, it confirmed that Qiu Qing was the murderer, which naturally cleared Lu Zhen’s suspicion. He immediately asked for his order: “Your Majesty, I would like to make meritorious service and cooperate with the soldiers of the imperial guard to find out the whereabouts of the murderer… Compared to them, these tricks are more familiar to us in the Imperial City Department.”

Sun Bi looked at him, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "As long as possible. Be sure to take down the person as soon as possible, especially to catch the alive!"

"Abide by the order!" Lu Zhen agreed and left immediately. Just as Li Ling saw this and wanted to say something, Sun Bi waved his hand again: "At present, it seems that this case has to be delayed for a while. My dear friends are busy with government affairs, so you don't have to stay here anymore. Let's disperse each one."

Although the ministers were full of doubts and wanted to know the final result, since the emperor said so, they all claimed to be yes and then retreated. Only Li Ling, after opening his mouth, hesitated and stayed.

Sun Bi was not surprised by this, but instead turned it out from the imperial case and came to him: "Wen Zhong, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, it's a bit too hasty to let them disperse." Li Ling hesitated and replied truthfully.

"What do you mean?" Sun Bi frowned and said strangely.

At that moment, Li Ling expressed his previous inference: "Although all this is just a fool's opinion, I am also sure that the person behind the scenes is at least among the people who have instructed Luo Wuguan to attack His Majesty through the Marquis of Yicheng."

When Sun Bi heard this, his face became solemn. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded deeply. Then he saw Li Ling continue, "If you let them leave now, wouldn't you give the culprit a chance to let him think of killing Qiu Qing to silence him?"

Sun Bi really regretted his decision at this time, so he could only smile bitterly: "I didn't think too much, I made such a mistake. Then what do you think should I make up for it next?"

"Follow each of them, and then let more relevant people search for Qiu Qing's whereabouts. I believe that people are greedy for life and death, and Qiu Qing should be able to judge that he might be silenced, so he may not necessarily meet the culprit, but think about how to escape. Therefore, all roads leaving the capital must be taken care of." Li Ling said, thinking of another point, "There is also the origin of Qiu Qing, which can also be used as a clue to track down the culprit's identity..."

"Well, you're right, come here-" Sun Bi cheered up again, called a close eunuch, and made this order again, all of which were countermeasures that Li Ling urgently proposed by Zhang. However, he and the king and his minister were not sure how likely they would win if they did this.

At the same time, the Imperial City Office sent troops to surround the entire Yicheng Marquis' Mansion and conducted the most detailed search of it to see if there were any clues of his collusion with the culprit behind the scenes. However, in this regard, it was still ineffective. With their shrewdness, it was obviously impossible to really leave such fatal evidence to cheat himself.

When it was completely dark, Li Ling returned home from the yamen, and the last news finally came. It was the bad news he least wanted to receive - Qiu Qing was really looking for it, just near a small ditch in the west of the outer city, where there was a secret passage that could quietly leave the city. It was found, but it was just a cold corpse!

"They are still one step earlier... Could they have tracked down the murderer who killed him?" Looking at Lu Zhen, who was coming to report the news, Li Ling asked again.

Lu Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's a place where all the clues of the three religions and all kinds of people are mixed, no one will care about it." He knew that the clues of the case were cut off and his responsibility would be great. Once the emperor blamed the blame, he would definitely be inevitably surrendered to the official and reprimanding him. He might even be transferred directly outside the capital to do a chore.

So at this time, Lu Zhen could only look at Li Ling: "Mr. Li, you have to save the officials this time..."

Li Ling sighed, looking at this colleague and friend who is also very close to each other, thinking that when the two met for the first time, the other party was much higher than theirs, but they were still quite close to him. After that, he nodded and said, "I will exonerate you a few words from your Majesty. After all, all this came too quickly, and the other party planned it carefully, so it was reasonable that it could not handle it for the moment."

Seeing Lu Zhen nodding repeatedly, he added: "But you can't forget to make up for what you should do. Listen to me..." He immediately told the suspicious problems that all the high officials and powerful officials in the palace had, which scared Lu Zhen to the point of being pale. He did not dare to offend any of these big guys.

"Mr. Li, this is not a joke. You are scaring the officials, right?" Lu Zhen asked nervously at the end.

"Of course not. Your Majesty also knows this. Now it seems that it is difficult for Qiu Jun's case to have any clues, so he can only use a stupid method to continue investigating it. Isn't this the old power of your Imperial City Department for many years?" Li Ling said with a stern expression.

He said this correctly. The Imperial City Department has many eyes, especially in Luoyang City. The slaves in the homes of many officials are their spies. But Lu Zhen knew better that most of the people who dared to put spies were ordinary officials in the court. As for the families of powerful officials, there was no such secret. After all, they were afraid that the matter would be leaked and causing trouble to themselves. For example, there was obviously no such arrangement in the mansion of Yicheng Marquis.

But after a while of communication with Li Ling's eyes, Lu Zhen finally compromised. After all, this matter is important. Even if there is trouble, he will even take the blame in the end. This is not only to atone for the merits, but also to express his loyalty to the emperor.

"Then please let me know everything." Li Ling smiled, "Implement it as soon as possible, I'll be optimistic about you." The other party's more bitter smile was the other party. This kind of thing is really hard to deal with...

...

"Are everything done?"

"Yes. Prince Don't worry, Qiu Qing was killed in the west gate of the outer city. There were already many people and our people pretended to be people in the world, and they didn't attract attention at all."

"Well, that's great. I didn't expect Sun Bi to find out this step. Fortunately, I had made arrangements and saw that the situation was not good, so I asked you to get rid of Qiu Jun. Otherwise, if he really fell into the hands of the Imperial City Department, he might not be able to keep the secret."

"The prince is wise."

"Hmph, after all, I am not as good as Sun Bi... I set up such a killing game, but in the end I let him get through it? And I successfully became the emperor... God is so eyeless!" The prince said, his eyes full of resentment and resentment, which made the confidant around him dare not speak again.

After a while, he said again: "At this point, I can only lie down temporarily. Taking action will only bring us greater crisis. By the way, there is another point. After you leave, go to the Luotian Sect and let them give me peace of mind next. When there is a better opportunity, I will contact them. However, judging from the current situation, I have to endure it for another year or two, and make plans after the limelight is completely over."

"Yes, I understand, I'll leave Luoyang now and arrange everything."

"Well, go." The prince said, patting his shoulder gently, and then taking a box on the table, "There are 200,000 taels here, you see the expense."

"Thank you for your kind reward, the young one will definitely not let you down." After taking the box gratefully and bowing again, the man said goodbye and left, and soon disappeared into the night.

"Sun Bi, let you be proud, but don't worry, I won't just forget it. One day, I will take back all the money and profits you owe me!" The prince was muttering there, and his face became hideous and distorted at this moment!

...

With Qiu Qing's death, all the clues behind it were completely cut off.

Even in the next period, the Imperial City Department, together with the Ministry of Justice and other case-handling yamen, conducted a detailed investigation and investigation of all parts of Luoyang City, but there was still no clear clue in the case.

As time goes by, the hidden information behind this case was completely covered up. No matter from the Mansion of Yicheng or the Governor's Office in Bingzhou, no possibility of contact with the person behind the scenes was found. As for Qiu Jun himself, as he said during his lifetime, he had a broad relationship with many powerful people, so it was naturally impossible to start from here.

So in the end, this case became an unsolvable case that cannot be identified.

Whether it is Li Ling or Sun Bi, no matter how unwilling they are, they can only accept this fact. After all, for them, the future is more important, and it is impossible to really put all their energy into a unsolved case.

Time passed slowly again. A year passed, and the new king's year name was finally completely decided, it was for God's blessing!
