After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Li Jin's face darkened and he said, "Nonsense! The chief clerk in the court is to record the trial process, not to write a complaint for you. If you don't have a complaint, go find someone on the street to write it for you and then report it to the court."

Li Jin acted in a businesslike manner, shook his official robe and wanted to leave.

I said slowly, "Since you don't want anyone to write it, then I can only go find your wife."

After saying that, I turned around and left.

When Mr. Su saw me leaving, he hurriedly helped Mrs. Su to follow.

When Li Jin heard that I was going to look for his wife, he was so scared that he quickly walked down from the desk and said with a smile, "It's just writing a petition, it's a small matter, there's no need to bother looking for my wife."

After Li Jin finished speaking, he waved to the chief clerk, who quickly put down his pen and walked over.

Li Jin said, "Write a petition for these two elderly people."

The chief clerk agreed immediately, then took Su's father and mother aside, and started writing while asking questions. In a short while, the petition was finished.

The chief clerk handed the petition to Li Jin.

Li Jin took a quick look and asked me, "What do you want now?"

I said, "Su's mother had a dream last night. In the dream, her son said that he was murdered and his body was abandoned in the West Hill. He asked his mother to help him find his body and bury it so that he could be reincarnated. So I hope Lord Li will send someone to help find Su Bowen's body and give it to his parents to take back to his hometown for burial."

Li Jin looked at me with a half-believing and half-doubting look, then looked at Su's mother and asked, "Is what Ah Man said true?"

On the way here, I agreed with Su's father and mother on their statements, saying that Su Bowen had told them where the body was in a dream. When Su's mother heard this, she nodded and said, "Your Excellency, what this young master said is all true."

Li Jin actually didn't quite believe this statement. If he sent a large number of yamen runners to a deserted mountain to search for a corpse aimlessly based on a dream, it would not only waste manpower and resources, but if something happened in the capital, there would be no extra manpower to deal with it.

But I saved his wife, and that grace is greater than heaven, so he should at least give me some face.

So he asked, "How many people should be sent?"

I thought about it and said, "I don't know where Xishan is, nor how big it is. You should try to arrange it according to the manpower of your office."

Li Jin said, "In that case, I will ask Constable Chen to bring ten yamen runners with you to go to the West Hill to search for him."

Ten people exceeded my expectations. I originally thought that he would only need five or six people, but I didn’t expect Li Jin to be so generous.

After Li Jin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a tall, handsome young man, about twenty years old, walked up to Li Jin.

Li Jin ordered: "Detective Chen, select ten people to go with them to the West Hill to search for Su Bowen's remains. Follow Mr. Zhao's orders."

Constable Chen quickly bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

When Constable Chen went to pick the men, Li Jin pulled me aside and asked softly, "Who are they to you?"

I said, "I met these two elders while having dinner at Wangyue Tower. They were bullied by the waiters at Dongsheng Inn. I couldn't bear to see it, so I helped them. Then they told me that they came to the capital to look for their relatives, but they spent all their savings and still didn't find their son. That's why I thought of asking you for help."

Li Jin said angrily, "You are just looking for trouble for me. I am very busy right now, and you want ten of me to help a completely unrelated person find the body. If we can't find it, I will only hold you responsible."

I flattered him, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You can't bear to see the two elders running around the capital like headless flies, and their son can't rest in peace, right?"

"Okay, stop flattering me. Just mind your own business and don't bother me in the future. I'll be very grateful. I can't even take care of the living, let alone the dead. Do you think I have nothing to do?" Li Jin said, rolling his eyes at me.

I quickly said, "Of course I know Lord Li is busy. His Majesty sent me a lot of top-quality medicinal herbs. I will send someone to bring some to you. Madam Ling is not in good health. With these medicinal herbs, she will probably get better soon."

Li Jin listened, glanced at me and said, "When did you become so smooth?"

I smiled and said, "I'm not being tactful. I'm just feeling sorry for my sister-in-law. You're such a rough guy that you don't know how to take care of people. I'll ask Yi Ping to make more soup and send it to my sister-in-law to replenish her body. Anyway, the Seventh Prince is in my house now, and Yi Ping has to make soup for him every day. One is stewed, and the other is stewed, right?"

Li Jin was delighted to hear this, but he pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Who is your sister-in-law? Don't shout nonsense."

I had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, I won't shout, I'll just shout Madam Li, okay?"

Only then did Li Jin nod with satisfaction.

At this time, Constable Chen had already selected the good guys and walked over.

Since Xishan was located in the far suburbs of the capital, it would take more than half an hour to get there by horse, and it was impossible to walk there. Li Jin had no choice but to approve eleven more horses for Constable Chen and his men.

Just like that, our group set off in a mighty manner.

I was afraid that I might not be able to find Su Bowen's body in half a day, so in order to make it easier to return to the city, I rode Xiao Huihui out.

The carriage was moving slowly, so I walked slowly beside it.

At this time, Father Su lifted the car curtain, looked at me, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Looking at the wrinkles on Su's father's face, it seems that he has not suffered much in searching for people in the capital over the past two years.

I smiled and said, "Old man, if you have anything to say, just say it. You're welcome."

Father Su smiled and said, "Thank you, young master. I will not be polite if you say so."

I nodded.

Father Su continued, "When Quan'er died, he was only seventeen years old. His family had arranged a marriage for him, but he insisted on learning to make a living from others. As a result, he failed to make a living and lost his life. The marriage was not even concluded and the girl became a widow."

When Mr. Su said this, he couldn't hold back his tears.

I sighed and said, "Don't be sad, old man. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. Nothing can be determined by man."

Father Su nodded and said, "Of course I understand this, but my son died unjustly. I see that you are familiar with Lord Li and the man in the palace. Can I ask you to redress my son's grievances?"

I thought Mr. Su wanted to tell me something, but it turned out that he wanted me to help Su Bowen redress his injustice.

I thought about it and said, "We have submitted the complaint in court today. I believe that Lord Li will investigate the case and give you an explanation soon, so don't worry, old man."

When Father Su heard this, his cloudy eyes lit up and he said happily, "Thank you, young master. We are willing to work like cows and horses to repay you."

I smiled and said, "I don't want you to repay me. If you two live well, that will be the best reward for me and Su Bowen."
