Chapter 86: Start investigating the case

"Thank you for your help." Li Xiuran cursed in his heart and bowed to Lin Yanjiang to thank him.

Although there are not many days, at least the time to handle the case can be more abundant. Maybe in the last five days, the case will be solved.

No matter how bad it is, even if he really wants to run away, he will have five more days to prepare, right?

"Where are you going to check it out?" Lin Yanjiang asked.

The assassination case in the palace was directly ruled out. He was an accomplice of the assassin. Isn’t it a cheating person if he found out?

The case of the deputy commander of the Imperial Army was also behind, and the murderer in this case is likely to be an assassin.

Then we can only start with the poison murder case. Lu Hui is only in the realm of the Divine Hidden City, while the assassin is in the realm of the Heavenly Man. It is easier to kill him than to strangle an ant. There is no need to poison him, and the murderer must be him.

Starting from this case, if the case can be solved and the murderer can be caught, maybe he can also blame the other two cases.

Li Xiuran weighed the pros and cons and said, "I am at the scene of the city gate lieutenant being poisoned. I am familiar with the situation. I am going to start investigating this case first."

"Okay, you know about this case, and it is more convenient to investigate. If you can find out this case, even if the other two cases cannot be solved, you can explain to Your Majesty."

Lin Yanjiang nodded slightly: "This case is now being tried by the government office. Last time when Sun Pei's case, the prefect Peng Ce was scolded by His Majesty for his poor rule. He may take his anger on you because of this.

Although His Majesty ordered him to cooperate with you in handling the case, he was afraid that he would not cooperate honestly and even interfere with it. You don’t have to be polite at that time.”

Li Xiuran understood it and used chicken feathers as a command arrow, he understood.

"Thank you for your reminder."

"The case handling requires personnel. Even if you can draw people from the government office and the Ministry of Justice, I'm afraid they will not work hard, so I'll help you." Chi Qingwan volunteered.

Lin Fengkai smiled and said, "I'm just idle, I might be able to help."

Xiang Kun said: "I will report to the Ministry later. According to regulations, the Ministry should allocate some personnel to me. If you need personnel, you can come to me."

Yang Wenxin didn't say anything, but looked at him eagerly, his attitude was self-evident.

Looking at the expressions of the few people, Li Xiuran was moved and bowed solemnly: "Thank you all, I will remember my help in my heart."

Lin Fengkai laughed: "It's all friends. Brother Li said this, so you're polite. The case handling period is only fifteen days, and the time is limited. Let's start investigating the case quickly."

Li Xiuran nodded and looked at Lin Yanjiang: "That's the humble position and say goodbye first."

Lin Yanjiang smiled and said, "If you need help, you can come to me."

"Thank you, sir." Li Xiuran thanked him and bowed to his goodbye.

...

Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen.

Lu Hui's body and suspect Ruyan were brought back by the arrest last night.

If you want to investigate the case, you must first understand the situation. After leaving Lin’s mansion, Li Xiuran and Lin Fengkai and others rushed over.

As soon as I arrived at the government office, I happened to meet Captain Huang who was about to go out. The latter looked surprised: "Mr. Li? Why are you here? Is there something wrong with you when you arrive at the government office?"

Li Xiuran said: "Your Majesty ordered me to investigate the case of Lu Hui, a city gate captain, who was poisoned last night. I will interrogate the suspect. Prefect Peng should have received the news. Please help me report it."

"Mr. Li, please come in and report it now." Captain Huang did not dare to neglect and invited several people into the yamen, so he hurried to the back hall.

Peng Ce was looking at the file when he heard footsteps and looked up, frowned and said, "Why are you in a panic?"

Captain Huang bowed and saluted: "Sir, Li Xiuran, the partial guard of the Demon Suppressing Department, came to the yamen and said that he was hereby order from His Majesty to investigate the case of Lu Hui being poisoned last night. He wanted to interrogate the suspect and ask Bei Zhi to inform the Lord."

“It’s coming quite quickly.”

Peng Ce narrowed his eyes and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Tell him that I still have official duties to work hard and don't have time to see him for the time being, let him wait first."

In the previous case of Sun Pei, he was also implicated and scolded by the emperor and fined him a year's salary, which means that Sun Pei did not bite him, otherwise his fate would be even worse.

The culprit of all this was Li Xiuran. He had long hated him. He wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on him if he didn't have the chance. How could he let go of the opportunity to make things difficult for him now?

Captain Huang was stunned: "This..."

"Why, I'll say it again?" Peng Ce's face darkened and he looked at him coldly.

"No, no, I will reply to him now." Captain Huang's heart suddenly broke out and did not dare to say more, so he quickly took the order and sued him.

...

Li Xiuran waited in the lobby for a while, and saw Captain Huang hurried back again, his face still a little unnatural, and his brows frowned: "Why, Prefect Peng didn't agree?"

Captain Huang smiled dryly and said, "The Lord of the Mansion is busy with business and has no time to meet the adults, so let the adults wait for the time being."

I want to leave it alone... Li Xiuran knew it in his heart, and Lin Yanjiang really made it right, but Peng Ce really didn't cooperate.

Lin Fengkai said with a dark face: "We only said we wanted to interrogate the suspect, but we didn't say we wanted to accompany him. What does it have to do with him whether he was busy or not? I think he just wanted to make things difficult for us on purpose?"

A little embarrassment flashed across Captain Huang's face. Just as he was about to defend himself, Li Xiuran suddenly spoke.

"Master Peng, the subordinate came to investigate the case under the order of His Majesty. You should have received the news, but you deliberately refused to obstruct it. Could it be that you want to resist the order and disrespect it?"

Li Xiuran used his skills directly, his voice was loud and majestic, and he walked directly through the lobby, spreading to the back hall, and falling into Peng Ce's ears.

The latter's face suddenly became gloomy. He was about to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Li Xiuran, but he did not expect that he would put him in a big hat of disrespect for the order and then put him in another army.

But he had to submit, and he couldn't afford to resist the hat.

But he just said that he had no time to see him and cooperated in a blink of an eye. Isn’t this slap himself in the face?

This guy is really hateful!

Peng Ce gritted his teeth for a while, and finally looked at the yamen runner standing next to him, and said with a dark face: "Take him to the prison."

"yes."

The yamen runner also saw that he was angry and did not dare to say much, so he hurried out of the back hall.

"Mr. Li, Captain Huang, the mansion ordered me to take you to the prison."

"Hmph, I thought he really dared to resist the order and was disrespectful, and he didn't have the courage to do so." Lin Fengkai's face was slower and he teased with disdain.

Yang Wenxin and Chi Qingwan also showed a faint contempt on their faces.

Captain Huang and the yamen runners all looked embarrassed.

Li Xiuran said loudly: "Thank you, Magistrate Peng, for Tongrong. If this case can be found out, I will report to Your Majesty truthfully and ask for your merits."

The voice passed through the lobby and fell into Peng Ce's ears again. The face that had just calmed down suddenly became gloomy again.

This is ridiculous, naked ridiculous!

He is a dignified prefect, can you help me ask for me?

At the same time, this is also a threat. If you really come to His Majesty, is it a request for merit or a complaint?

I endured it, but you still refused to give up!
Chapter completed!
