Father can be an enemy to the country

As a result, due to Zeng Tai's interference, Shen and Xiong's plan to solve the case went bankrupt. We can only follow his instructions and investigate step by step before speaking.

After Zeng Tai and others withdrew, Xiong Qitai couldn't help but cursed: "Zeng Tai is a bitch, he usually keeps quiet, but he comes out of nowhere to bite people! What is he trying to do against us?"

"I guess I received a letter from the prince." Shen Liben said without surprise: "He is an official of the East Palace promoted by the prince. He is the purest princeling. He uses the prince's chicken feathers as arrows. It is normal."

"Damn it!" Xiong Qitai said angrily: "It's really shameful for him! He should have poured a cup of tea in his face just now!"

"What's the use of your harsh words here?" Shen Liben said dissatisfied: "This case cannot bypass a provincial prosecutor, so we can only show it first. The interrogation should be interrogated, and the punishment should be punished. It is nothing more than a few more delays. Oh my god. How to conclude the case and how to report it, isn’t it up to me to decide?”

"Who will be interrogated? Who will be tortured?" Xiong Qitai asked.

"All persons involved in the case should be tried to the fullest." Shen Liben said calmly: "As for the punishment, the doctor in the Ministry of Punishment will naturally be punished by the villain."

"Understood." Xiong Qitai said with a smile: "Those cooks, servants and maids don't know anything. Even if you skin them, it will be useless!"

"There are also the two long-term followers of Liu Shenzheng." Shen Li was narrow-minded and hated Liu Jing for slapping him in the face, but the other party was Liu Bowen's second son and a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, so he could do nothing. I can only take it out on those two family members first.

"They are the most suspicious, we must pry open their mouths!"

"Understood, don't worry, sir." Xiong Qitai nodded knowingly and said, "The humble office will send people to keep an eye on them. I won't agree if Zeng Tai doesn't take care of them."

"Yeah." Shen Liben chuckled and said, "I wonder how Zeng can pretend to be a good person now? If he wants to fight with me, he's still a bit immature."

"That's right, we have to let him end up inside and outside this time!" Xiong Qitai nodded heavily.

Early the next morning, when visiting the imperial envoy, Zeng Tai received the above instructions from Shen Liben.

After leaving the imperial envoy's office and returning to his Yamen, he was so worried that his head hit the carriage.

He is not a rotten scholar, and he is not that resistant to torture and extorting confessions. But Shen Liben strictly limited the targets for him to be tortured, which was disgusting... He knew that the servants of Cao Shenzheng's family and the cooks and waiters of Hexiang Tower were actually foils. What Shen Liben really wanted to fight was Liu Kong and Liu Meng.

Who told the second master of the Liu family not to give him any face? Of course, he must deal with his two long-term followers severely. Firstly, this is a humiliation in itself; secondly, under the circumstances, if you can force out some powerful information about the Liu family, you can directly hit Liu Jing.

And it was Zeng Tai who did the trick. What does it have to do with Shen Liben?

If he didn't dare to torture Liu Kong and Liu Meng, he would have no choice but to keep his mouth shut in the future. I no longer have the shame to go against the imperial envoy.

Shen Liben's calculation was really loud.

He really didn't dare to hit the two Liu family members - His Royal Highness the King of Chu came to Nanchang for the Liu family's affairs. What kind of close relationship is this? If he dares to hit anyone in the Liu family or bully his master, His Highness will break his legs.

Thinking that all these troubles were caused by his opposition to Shen Liben, Zeng Tai couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself. He was really like an 'old sow urinating in a pee - he brought it upon himself'.

After much thought and deliberation, he had no choice but to continue to adhere to His Highness's method of playing devil's advocate. I would oppose whatever the other party advocated!

It’s okay to arrest people, but I don’t want to torture them. I must make them look fat and white, and make Shen Liben, a slave raised by them, angry to death...

That afternoon, another group of people came to express their condolences. This group of people claimed to be from Qingtian. After the news was passed, Liu Meng came out and led them into the Chief Secretary's Yamen through the back door and came to Liu Shenzheng's mansion.

After entering the mourning hall, this group of Qingtian fellow villagers began to cry hard in order to cover up the cry of a little girl...

That's right, this group of Qingtian fellows were disguised by Zhu Zhen, Hu Quan and others, and one of them was Liu Li, a thin young man.

When the little girl finally saw her father's coffin, she threw herself on it and burst into tears.

In order to cover up her cries, everyone had to howl along with her. People outside couldn't help but marvel when they heard this, but they didn't expect that the people in Qingtian loved Liu Bowen so much, and they actually loved his son to such an extent.

In fact, Liu Jing was also shocked. The moment the young man threw himself on the coffin, he recognized that the other person was actually his niece.

"Liu Li?" Liu Jing was stunned.

"That's right, Second Senior Brother, she is Liu Li." A tall man with a beard said, and his chin dropped to the ground in shock.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?!" Liu Jing exclaimed.

"Hush." ​​Lao Liu made a silent gesture and said to him seriously: "This king is visiting privately incognito, so please don't make any noise."

"Yeah." Liu Jing hurriedly covered her mouth to calm down her shocked mood, then looked at her niece, then at her sixth child, her eyes suddenly a little weird.

"It's my fault, it's all because I'm too soft-hearted." Lao Liu explained vaguely, not wanting to elaborate on the details. He felt that it would make Liu Li lose face.

"Oh, they all blame me. I should have agreed to bring her with me then, so that I wouldn't have caused so much trouble to His Highness." Liu Jing didn't dare to blame His Highness, so she quickly took the blame.

But now that we have come, this is the only way. After the two exchanged brief greetings, Zhu Zhen asked about the whereabouts of his two guards.

Of course Liu Jing didn't know anything, so she looked at Liu Kong.

"Didn't Brother Zhang and Brother Zhao go back to report to His Highness?" Liu Kong was also shocked and said: "Since my uncle gave them a holiday on the first day of the new year, I have never seen them again. I also went to their regular I’ve asked around everywhere I’ve gone, but I’ve never seen them.”

"That's weird. There's no one alive here, and there's no dead body for almost a month." Lao Liu's thick eyebrows were knitted into twists.

"Then there are only two possibilities, either he fled out of fear of crime, or something happened." The uncle's thick eyebrows were also twisted into twists, and he said in a deep voice:

"They are my most reliable old brothers in Hujiazhuang. Their nephews are also in our army. They will not abscond in fear of crime even if they die."

"You mean, something happened to them?" Lao Liu's face sank. He has been practicing martial arts with his brothers for some years. Although he still has a good eye but a low hand and cannot be called a master, his vision is not bad anymore.

He knew that the two guards were elite experts, and even if dozens of people surrounded them, they would not be able to do anything to them. If you want to keep two people, even if the other party is surprised, you have to spend a lot of money!

And the most important thing is that they are his bodyguards. Unless there is a compelling reason, no one is willing to disturb Tai Sui!

If we say that the case of Liu Lian falling into a well was most likely the result of a hot-headed and lucky move by the other party in order to prevent the old thief's new policy. But adding two of his own bodyguards to it can only mean that there is a more deadly reason behind it!
