Qi Guanhan's smile was a bit more sour, "Is he... engaged?"

Jiang Yi said: "No, I haven't seen each other yet. Now my family's status is sensitive, and it's not good to look high or low, but there's no rush."

"Is that so." Qi Guanhan seemed to relax a lot.

"If you have nothing to do, you can stay in Beijing for a few days. I will definitely entertain you with all my heart," Jiang Yi said.As for Qi Guanhan's meeting with his brother, it can be seen that there is fate.

"Well, when I'm free, I'll definitely bother you." Qi Guanhan replied.

On the other side, in Feng Ye's room.

Feng Qin said: "Brother, do you think that the envoy looks very similar to Concubine Mao?"

That's why he was surprised at first.

Feng Ye nodded, "It's true, but Concubine Mao doesn't seem to be named Shu."

He can't remember the exact concubine Mao's surname, but he doesn't remember her surname as Shu.

"I don't know how this Shu Min came to the Bian'an Palace. I still have to ask if I have a chance." Feng Qin said.After all, if two people are not related by blood, they can still look so similar. The point is that they still meet, which is actually extremely rare.

"Yeah." Feng Ye was also a little curious about Shu Min's appearance, but this matter won't come to fruition for a while, so Feng Ye turned his attention back to those letters, "You said to give these to your father. Your Majesty, what will your father do?"

Feng Qin thought for a while, and said: "The two disaster relief efforts have already emptied the treasury, which was originally not sufficient. Therefore, as long as they are corrupt officials, and they are corrupt enough to make the emperor envious, they must be investigated. After all, they will be recovered. If we have enough evidence to prove that the second prince is more corrupt than these corrupt officials, the father must be punished for the stability of the country."

Feng Ye completely agrees with Feng Qin's idea, "Now the Second Prince has not directly contacted the prefect, but he can always find him if he grasps the prefect's line. As long as they really have bribery dealings with the Second Prince, they will definitely find out the result .”

"That's right. Let's investigate this matter slowly. Anyway, it will take some time before the news of Shifeng not raining can be reported back to Beijing. good."

"Ah."

When Feng Qin came out of Feng Ye's house, he saw Jiang Yi and Qi Guanhan sitting in the yard having a good conversation.

Feng Qin's sour water suddenly came out again, but thinking of his previous impulse, he still suppressed his emotions.

Seeing him coming out, Qi Guanhan smiled and said, "My lord and my concubine should rest early. The temperature in the mountains is lower than that in the city, so it's better to cover the quilt at night."

Feng Qin nodded, "Yes."

Qi Guanhan: "Then I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, he nodded at Jiang Yi and left.

Feng Qin sat in Qi Guanhan's seat just now, and looked at Jiang Yi expectantly.

Jiang Yi looked at him, a little dazed, not knowing what Feng Qin meant, and finally said straightforwardly: "Qi Guanhan sent sugar cakes, would you like to eat one?"

This was obviously not Feng Qin's point. Seeing that Jiang Yi didn't understand at the end, he said directly: "Look, I didn't get angry just now. I really changed it. Don't be angry, okay?"

Jiang Yi laughed, the last knot in his heart seemed to be unraveled, "Okay, don't do that in the future."

"Well, I promise." Feng Qin held Jiang Yi's hand and smiled even wider.

Jiang Yi asked: "How do you read those letters?"

Feng Qin told Jiang Yi the result of his analysis with Feng Ye, and also talked about Shu Min's problem.

"I've only met Concubine Mao once, so I don't have a deep impression. But generally speaking, two people don't look so alike." Jiang Yi said.

"Indeed, so I have to ask Qi Guanhan tomorrow."

"Qi Guanhan may not tell the truth, if there is something hidden in it."

"It doesn't matter, the point is to let Qi Guanhan know that we have discovered it." Feng Qin said: "Furthermore, Qi Guanhan would let Shu Min appear in front of us, either because he didn't know about it, or because he wasn't afraid at all."

"It makes sense. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Don't think about so many things at night, and you won't sleep well."

"Okay." Feng Qin got up and pulled Jiang Yi into the house, "Go to bed and wash up, you walked the mountain road very hard today. Tomorrow I will carry you down the mountain."

"The descent will be smoother, and it doesn't rain anymore, so it's fine."

"See you later."

Early the next morning, when Feng Qin and the others were eating, Qi Guanhan came.

"Is the breakfast satisfying your appetite?" Qi Guanhan sat down without seeing him.

"Very good." Feng Qin said.

Although it was porridge and side dishes, but Jiang Yi liked it, so he was happy.

"That's good." Qi Guanhan said with a smile.

"Have you eaten?" Feng Ye asked.

"Eat." As he said, he still took a vegetable dumpling.

Feng Ye winked at Feng Qin.

Feng Qin understood, and said: "Palace Master Qi Guan, how did you know that recorder of yours?"

Qi Guanhan smiled, and said: "What? Do you want to investigate the details of our Paradise Palace?" His tone was very relaxed, as if he didn't know anything about Shu Min.

Feng Qin: "No. He just looks like someone I know."

"Oh?" Qi Guanhan asked, "Who?"

"It's just a person in the palace. So I am a little curious about how there are two people who look so similar in the world, but they don't seem to be related by blood."

"Really? Maybe it's because of the similarities between people. Shu Min has been in the Palace of the Other Side for many years, and I've never heard him mention that he's been to the capital."

"Was he born in the Palace of the Other Side?"

"No, but the Bian'an Palace accepts countless people every day, and I can't remember everyone's background. Shu Min has beautiful handwriting, is also smart, and has great patience. The previous secretary is getting old. Unable to do this job anymore, my adoptive mother promoted Shu Min, and Shu Min has been doing this for several years."

It sounds like the previous palace lord was more familiar with Shu Min, and Qi Guanhan just continued to use the team arranged by the previous palace lord.In this way, it is normal to not know much about the past.

"I see." It seemed that there was nothing to ask, but Feng Qin still had reservations about whether Qi Guanhan knew Shu Min.It's just that on other people's territory, it is obviously unwise to forcefully interrogate others, so we can only make a long-term plan after going back.

Back at the post house, the hidden guard who was guarding Zhihu Lake before also came back.

"My lord, my subordinates have obtained the correspondence between the prefect of Zhihu Lake and the second prince." Anwei said.

Feng Qin frowned, "Have you not been found?"

The secret guard said: "Probably not. This subordinate followed the magistrate into the secret room, and walked in the secret room. I didn't dare to take too much, for fear of being discovered."

Feng Qin nodded, "Good job, let's go rest first."

"Yes."

After the dark guard retreated, Feng Qin opened the letter and looked at it. Inside was the second prince's reply, saying that he was very satisfied with the things sent by the magistrate. Among them, the golden screen inlaid with mountains and rivers was his favorite, and he praised the magistrate for his ability to handle affairs.

It stands to reason that these letters should be burned after reading them, but the prefect of Zhihu didn't know what to think, and they still kept them.

After reading the letter, Feng Ye said: "The prefect of Zhihu probably wants to use these letters to save his life? At least he has these evidences. If he commits a crime, the second prince will also have to save his life because of these letters."

"Brother, do you think the second prince knows that there are these letters?"

"I probably don't know." Feng Ye said without hesitation: "If he knew, who would let such a person by his side? It's hard to say whether it's allegiance or calculation."

"Too."

Just when they were thinking about how to use this letter, or more letters, to play the book of the second prince, the next day, news came from Zhihu Lake that the prefect of Zhihu Lake was dead, and the government office caught fire, and there was nothing left. up.

Feng Qin frowned, but he didn't show too much excitement, "How did the prefect die?"

"This...subordinates don't know, but they should have been burned to death." It was a guard in Zhihu yamen who came to report.

"Should?" Feng Qin narrowed his eyes, as if he was about to kill someone in the next moment.

"At that time, the government office was on fire, and everyone was busy putting out the fire. After all the people in the inner courtyard of the office ran out, the magistrate was not seen. So a few guards got wet and went in to find someone. The study room was already surrounded by fire. Yes. The guards poured water out of a place and rushed in, only to see the magistrate lying on the table, and his whole body was burned, that way..."

How much heart does the prefect have to be able to stand still in the raging flames?And when the body was burned, it is estimated that no one will conduct a detailed autopsy. I am afraid that this matter will be passed by.And why they set the fire, Feng Qin and the others knew better than others.The fact that the magistrate was burned to death was only one aspect, and the more important thing was to burn the evidence, otherwise the fire would not have been so big.

"Understood, you go down first." Feng Qin didn't believe that it wasn't his own subordinates, so he didn't get to the bottom of it.In this regard, he believed in his own research more than what others said.

After the guards left, Feng Qin asked Jiang Yi, "What do you think?"

Jiang Yi smiled and said: "Obviously, it is estimated that someone found out that the letter was delivered to you. It is hard to say whether all the letters from the prefect of Zhihu Lake have been burned, and there is no one in Zhihu Lake now, so it must be chaos. Get into a group. You might as well send the booklet to Beijing, saying that Shifeng has already dealt with it properly, and wait for the decree to return to Beijing. Before the imperial decree comes, you can cheat the prefect of Shifeng. Since he has colluded with the prefect of Zhihu, now Zhihu The magistrate was killed, so how can he not be afraid? First collect evidence from him, and then stop by Zhihu Lake to check on the return trip to see if there are more useful things. And... If the prefect of Zhihu is really because he was killed We got the letter and died, don't you think the other party knew it a little too soon?"

Feng Qin nodded, "You're right, I'll let someone investigate!"

So a little later, Feng Ye wrote an excerpt and asked someone to send it back to Beijing.

At dinner time, the prefect of Shifeng came.

"You two lords, do you still like the food?" the magistrate asked courteously.

The prefect of Shifeng came at a good time, but also at a coincidence.Looking at his attitude, he probably knows something.

Feng Ye said: "Very good. The magistrate is here, what's the matter?"

The prefect of Shifeng was sweating on his forehead, and said: "No, no. Shifeng is really busy these days, and he doesn't have time to entertain the two princes well. If we come together for a week or so, please forgive me, princes."

"It's okay, now that the rain disaster is coming, you don't need to care about those details." Feng Ye looked indifferent.

"My lord is generous."

Feng Ye and Feng Qin looked at each other, pretending to be indifferent and said: "It's getting late, if there's nothing else, the magistrate should go back to rest early."

"Yes..." Although he answered, he didn't move half a step, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Feng Ye and Feng Qin thought they didn't see it, and originally wanted to scam the magistrate, but they didn't expect that the magistrate was actually a soft bag.

The magistrate was in a stalemate for a while, and Feng Qin was tired of waiting, and almost knew what he was thinking, so he curled the corner of his mouth, and said in a gloomy way: "The prefect of Zhihu is dead, you know?"

Upon hearing that, the prefect of Shifeng fell to his knees on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, you must save the officer!"
