I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The Wei family promised Li Tai that they had made all preparations and would never allow anyone to easily discover their flaws.

Even if he is discovered, Li Tai's existence will not be exposed.

嗏

The mouth of the family is a deceiving ghost.

The assassination failed, so they naturally chose the second path, the golden cicada shed its shell and cut off its tail to get a living.

The investigation of the Ministry of Punishment went very smoothly.

It went so smoothly that even Zhou Xiaosan felt a little astonished.

They had just bypassed the screen wall, hadn't walked through a corridor, and formally entered the house, when a young man stopped in front of them.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Are you here to investigate the case of assassinating His Royal Highness King Jin?"

After getting an affirmative answer.

The young man led them to two other courtyards with ease, and from one of the other courtyards, he found the missing pistol in Cheng Yaojin's house - counting the one that was not fished out in the ditch, And the one from Tongfu Restaurant is exactly eight.

Immediately afterwards, in another courtyard, they dug out a wooden box from the pit, which contained more than 100 rounds of bullets.

Judging from the craftsmanship and caliber, it should be something produced by Li Jing's mansion.

Zhou Xiaosan sat at the door of the second courtyard, looking at the two boxes of things in front of him, a little silent.

He was ready for a long fight.

I'm ready...to stay up for days and nights without eating or drinking.

Get ready to find out nothing tonight.

嗏

At this moment, less than half an hour before he entered the gate of the Wei family, all the evidence had been found. If he had found it by himself, he might think that someone was framing the Wei family.

But... this is what the Wei family took them to find.

"Are you from the Wei family?" Zhou Xiaosan asked with strange eyes, staring at the young man in front of him.

The young man nodded: "Yes."

"Xiaoyao Gongfang Wei waiting for a price?" Zhou Xiaosan asked again.

The young man nodded again: "Yes."

"The same family, why did you report on them." Zhou Xiaosan asked again.

Wei Daigui spoke slowly, with an angry expression on his face: "I don't approve of their methods. My Wei family is a thousand-year-old family, and it has been able to produce many people since the beginning of the Han Dynasty."

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Yuan family had four generations and three princes, so they felt that their family background was prominent and extraordinary."

"But my Wei family has three generations, three princes, and four princes. It is no different from that of the Yuan family! Besides, the Yuan family has become a common surname now, and there is no real family, but my Wei family is still a top-notch family."

"What my ancestors could do, why can't we do it?"

After speaking, he paused for a moment, proudly said: "The Great Tang Dynasty is an ancient Ming Dynasty, even if there is no emperor's grace, as long as you have the ability, you can become a good friend."

"I don't care about such cheap tricks, and... this kind of trick will only tarnish the reputation of my Wei family."

Zhou Xiaosan squinted his eyes, looked at Wei Dai, and curled his lips slightly.

He doesn't even come from a poor family, he was born with mud legs, and he has always been insensitive to such remarks.

but…

Although this kind of remark is annoying, it is not unexpected. When they were young, the children of these great families had a very special idea - they felt that they were the children of destiny who could change the world.

Especially when such a son of destiny really appeared in their ancestors.

They... are more determined in their obsession.

of course……

Looking at Wei Daigui's bright and flickering eyes, even if Zhou Xiaosan is not politically sensitive, he can still think of Wei Daigui, or what the Wei family thinks.

Harvesting by docking the tail.

"So this matter...was proposed by Xiao Xiaoyao's house and the concubine's house." Zhou Xiaosan thought about what Wei Daigui said just now, and asked again by the way, "The other houses don't support it."

"I didn't expect them to do such a thing secretly."

"Have you reminded His Royal Highness King Jin?"

Wei Dai nodded and said softly, "Yes."

"It sounds incredible." Zhou Xiaosan sneered, with some sarcasm.

Wei Daigui sighed, a little ashamed: "I am also very disappointed that these scum have come out of the Wei family."

"What about the people in the second room?" Zhou Xiaosan stood up and asked.

Wei Dai price pointed in a direction.

Zhou Xiaosan sent two people to stay behind, seeing that Wei Taigui still had these two boxes of evidence, and he took the rest of the people and ran towards the direction Wei Daigui pointed.

Things went too smoothly tonight.

There is a sense of astonishment as I hold my stomach and feel that I am constipated today, and I have to struggle in the bathroom for several hours, but in the end my pants popped out before I took off my pants.

The people in these two rooms were sitting in the study, dressed in high-sounding clothes, and they were not surprised to see Zhou Xiaosan, as if they were waiting for the people from the Criminal Department to come and arrest them.

Late Night Imperial City.

In the study, Li Shimin's scalp felt numb when he heard Zhou Xiaosan's report.

He also felt that it went too smoothly.

"That Wei is waiting for the price..." Li Shimin said.

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Xiaosan replied: "I have already brought it, and the eunuch will take it to the side hall for placement."

"The two elders of Xiao Xiaoyao's house and the son-in-law's house have been arrested and are currently being held in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation tomorrow."

Li Shimin raised his hand and knocked on the table: "Besides that, is there any news?"

"Not yet." Zhou Xiaosan shook his head.

Li Shimin paused: "Let's go to the trial tonight. Aiqing has worked hard. If there are no accidents, I will discuss it at the court meeting tomorrow."

Zhou Xiaosan should come down.

He hurried back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice - it doesn't matter if he sleeps or not, to solve the case, it's not a big deal if he doesn't sleep for a few days, the reason why he wants to put it on tomorrow is for the consideration of his colleagues in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

But His Majesty has this command...

There is no other way, I have to listen to His Majesty.

The interrogation process of the Ministry of Punishment, after Zhou Xiaosan became a minister, has been standardized - it is no longer the kind of prison guards who ask nonsense and torture severely if they can't find out.

No matter how small the case is, during the interrogation, it must be led by a principal, and two scribes will record the statement.

As a result, the number of principals in the Ministry of Criminal Justice has increased from the initial four to sixteen.

In tonight's interrogation, Zhou Xiaosan is in charge of Xiao Xiaoyao's house.

The servant is in charge of interrogating the concubine's room.

"Name…"

"age…"

"Native place..."

After these commonplace questions, Zhou Xiaosan turned the lamp on the table and shone the light on the old man's face. The strong light made him squint his eyes slightly.

"Duke Zhengyang and His Royal Highness King Jin were assassinated by you?" Zhou Xiaosan asked.

"It was me and the concubine's house who carried it out, but not our instructions." The old man said, his voice dull.

Zhou Xiaosan raised his eyebrows: "And the mastermind? Who is it?"

The old man spat out a name: "It's His Royal Highness Jiang Wang."

bang—

Startled, a clerk fell from his chair, and the pen in his hand made a long, rich scratch on the file.
