Inside the Huzhou County Government Office.

The news that Nei Shi Di Renjie is about to arrive in Huzhou County has spread throughout the entire county government. Now that such a big murder case has occurred, everyone is impatient.

Especially the master.

He followed behind Zeng Tai and said hurriedly:

"Master, Lord Di will be here soon. If we don't finish this case, I'm afraid that once Lord Di arrives, you will be gone..."

Zeng Tai had already seen that there was something fishy going on, so he would certainly not take human life lightly and sentence someone to death without authorization.

After walking around the study twice, Zeng Tai made up his mind:

"I will take a few detectives to Xiaoyang Village and check Zhang Chun's home to see if there are any clues. You will immediately take a group of yamen runners to Wang Wu's home in Yangcheng Town to see if there are any clues."

"You and I will work together, maybe we can find some clues."

"Also, Lord Di will be here soon. I know that, but that's not a reason for you and me to convict you at will."

"You don't have to say anything more, let's go right away!"

Soon, two groups of people came out of the county government office.

Li Cunxi returned to the inn, found Ma Rong, and tilted his head towards the outside.

Ma Rong understood what Li Cunxi meant, and left Lu Dayou who was reading and Qiao Tai who was drinking, and immediately went out to follow him.

The two of them left the city at a very fast speed and hurried towards Liujiazhuang.

Not long after, on the road in the suburbs, the two met Long Feng who was heading towards Huzhou County.

"Master, Master!"

From a distance, Long Feng was riding his horse and waving his sleeves.

"My lord, it's done!"

Li Cunxi breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and waited for Long Feng to come over.

Long Feng slowed down and rode all the way over. He got off the horse when he reached Li Cunxi and said:

"It's done, it's done, it's done!"

Li Cunxi smiled slyly and asked, "How is Liu Chali now?"

"Sir, Liu Chali fell from the mountain. In my opinion, he is most likely dead. Even if he is not dead, he can't be seen as alive."

"Okay, great. I just don't like this old guy. But you didn't expose yourself, did you?"

"Don't worry, sir. I attacked very covertly. The old man was forced to fall down the mountain before he even touched Liu Chuanlin."

"Very good. You two will attack together tonight. Remember, clean up that group of people first and don't let them ruin our plan."

"Understood, sir."

……

As soon as the hour of Xu arrived, Li Cunxi brought Lu Dayou and Qiao Tai and calmly came to the outside of the county government office to wait.

Soon, Li Yuanfang, dressed neatly, arrived outside the county government office.

"Mr. Cunxi."

"Brother Yuanfang."

"Since the adults haven't arrived yet, let's go in first."

"Brother Yuanfang, please."

"Master, please."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Li Yuanfang looked at the yamen runner and said, "Inform your grandfather and tell him that Li Yuanfang, the fifth-rank inspector of the Yingyang Guard, wants to see your grandfather."

When the yamen runner heard that it was a fifth-rank official who had arrived, he hurried in to report.

Li Cunxi stood aside and followed everyone into the county government office calmly.

Because Hu Jinghui did not block the knife for Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang naturally missed the chance to be promoted to General of the Guards, a Thousand Bulls, fourth rank.

However, a fifth-rank Inspector General of the Yingyang Guard was enough to scare the seventh-rank County Magistrate to death.

After only half a cup of tea, Zeng Tai, who was so majestic during the day, came trotting over and bowed to the neatly dressed Li Yuanfang.

"I didn't know you were coming, and I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope you'll forgive me."

After a moment of secretly feeling pleased, Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "Your Highness, please stand up."

Zeng Tai looked at Li Cunxi and the others again and asked, "Who are these people?"

Li Cunxi smiled faintly: "I am Li Cunxi, the Censor of the Censorate. These two are my followers."

"It turned out to be Lord Li."

Zeng Tai bowed and forgot about Li Cunxi.

The Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, although his official position was only eighth rank, had considerable power.

However, Zeng Tai thought that he had not done anything wrong, and the Censor-in-Chief should not be able to impeach him.

"Mr. Zeng, Lord Di has already arrived in Huzhou. Do you know where he has gone?"

Li Yuanfang asked impatiently before he even sat down.

"Master Di has arrived in Huzhou? But I have never seen Master Di's majestic appearance."

Zeng Tai looked anxious.

He has been investigating the case these days, so how could he know where Di Renjie went?

Seeing that Li Ling was in trouble, Li Cunxi kindly reminded him:

"We parted ways with Lord Di during the day. He went to Xiaoyang Village to investigate the case of Zhang Chun's family... By the way, Lord Di used the alias Huaiying and was a teacher. I wonder if County Magistrate Zeng has any impression of him?"

……

After half a cup of tea.

Zeng Tai rushed into the prison, tumbling and crawling, and soon found the cell where Di Renjie was.

Li Cunxi followed and looked up, and immediately saw Zhang Chun and Wang Wu who were in the same cell with Di Renjie.

The story line has not changed, and these two minor characters are still in the same cell with Di Renjie.

"Cunxi, this is..."

Di Renjie looked at Li Cunxi in confusion and asked meaningfully.

"When Magistrate Zeng found out that he had arrested you, he was so frightened that he rushed over to apologize to you." After Li Cunxi finished explaining, he said to the jailer, "Why don't you open the door and let the master out?"

The jailer rushed to open the door, but Zeng Tai was already kneeling on the ground, kowtowed and apologized skillfully.

"My Lord, Lord Di, I was blind and reckless. I didn't know your presence was coming and actually put you in jail. I deserve death. Please punish me, Lord!"

Li Yuanfang was angry and amused when he saw Zeng Tai like this. He wanted to curse him as "bastard", but the words couldn't come out.

He had no choice but to glare at Zeng Tai, then went in and helped Di Renjie out.

"Uncle, have you found out anything?" Li Cunxi came forward and asked in a low voice.

"Everything went well." Di Renjie was delighted and helped Li Ling Zeng Tai up. "Hurry up, Guixian. Not only will I not punish you today, I will also thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, how could I meet Zhang Chun and Wang Wu? Hehehe, let's go."

Zeng Tai was not punished, and felt a little relieved. He followed Di Renjie, Li Cunxi and Li Yuanfang out tremblingly.

"My uncle was imprisoned this time, thanks to the help of Lord Zeng, who put my uncle in jail. I hope my uncle can tell us what happened later." Li Cunxi said as he walked.

Zeng Tai, who was standing by, recalled the scene of catching Di Renjie during the day, and said with a bitter face, "These are all...trivial matters. I didn't know that you are actually the nephew of Lord Di. I really have no eyes."

"I am only thirteen years old, but I am already the Censor-in-Chief. Lord Zeng, aren't you curious about how I climbed to this position?"
