Gusu City is nearly a hundred miles away from Suzhou-Hangzhou City.

Chuci and Leng Ruxue rode without stopping, and finally rushed to Gusu City when the sky was getting dark.

"Master, what should I do next?"

Walking in Gusu City, Leng Ruxue asked Chu Ci aloud.

Chuci pondered for a moment, and said, "The swallow will be publicly decapitated in two days' time. We must stop the execution tomorrow!"

Leng Ruxue's fierce sword intent disappeared in a flash.

"Master, do you want to rob prison?"

Chu Ci looked at a pair of Leng Ruxue who was ready to do anything, and laughed blankly, "What do you think?"

"Find an inn and rest for one night, and go to Chengshou Mansion tomorrow morning!"

The two found an inn in Gusu City and checked in to rest.

Early the next morning, Chuci and Leng Ruxue left the inn and arrived at the residence of He Sanqing, the guardian of Gusu City.

boom! boom! boom!

Chu Ci stepped forward and banged the closed door.

Squeaky

After a short while, the door opened and a boy in Tsing Yi walked out.

"who are you?"

Chuci said aloud, "Craftsmanship bronze medal, Chuci, please see Lord Cheng Shou!"

After hearing the words, the little servant looked straight, and said hurriedly, "My lord, please wait a moment, I'll notify the master!"

Xiao Si turned and left, and rushed into the back of the mansion.

Da da da···

A series of rapid footsteps sounded, and He Sanqing walked out quickly.

"Master Chu came to the mansion, and He so missed to welcome him, and I hope Master Chu will not blame it!"

He Sanqing looks thin, with a black and white beard under his jaw.

He was wearing a blue-black gown, and two patches were faintly visible on the hem.

It's just like a pair of breezy parents.

Chu Ci said, "He is polite, please don't blame me for rushing to visit!"

He Sanqing smiled and said, "There, Master Chu, please come in!"

The three of them walked through the courtyard, walked to a hall, and took their seats one by one.

Chuci looked around and found that the displays in the hall were extremely simple and plain.

Compared with He Sanqing's identity as a city guard, it was really shabby.

"Master He..."

Chu Ci pondered for a moment and said, "The home is poor."

He Sanqing stroked his beard and smiled, "Lord Chu laughed."

"The court's salary is sufficient, and the officials have accumulated some savings, but the drought in Yuzhou in the past two years has also affected the city of Gusu, and those savings have long been dissipated."

Hearing the words of Chu Ci, he arched his hands and said, "Master He is high-righteous!"

He Sanqing waved his hand and said with a smile, "As the parents of Gusu City, these things are just a matter of course and should not be praised by Master Chu."

After pondering for a moment, He Sanqing asked aloud, "Master Chu is from Shengjing City?"

Chuci nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to go south to investigate the case, so I passed by here."

"Oh?"

He Sanqing stroked his beard lightly and said suspiciously, "If you are on the way, Master Chu should be in Suzhou-Hangzhou city?"

"Why turned around Baili and came to Gusu City?"

Chu Ci's eyes flashed, and he groaned for a moment and said, "Don't hide the truth from Master He, I'm here for Miss Swallow."

He Sanqing showed a strange color on his face, nodded and said, "This official has also guessed it."

"Master Chu can call the door early in the morning, except for the newly married assassination a few days ago, nothing else."

He Sanqing looked at Chu Ci and said solemnly, "Master Chu, Chen Yan assassinated Qin Shaowu, the evidence is solid, and he himself confessed."

"Tomorrow is the time for the beheading to be shown to the public. This has been set long ago!"

Tuk Tuk Tuk...

Chuci flexed his fingers on the table and chuckled, "My lord, why should you say so with certainty?"

"Am I really not sure about the Central Plains Commissioner He?"

Last night, Chuci rushed to the Deception Office to station at the Gusu City branch overnight.

Although the Department of Sorrow is only responsible for suppressing monsters and weird events, it is also very clear about the big and small affairs in Gusu City.

Even the omissions of some officials, large and small, will also be recorded.

It can be said that the Emotional Place is not only the first line of defense for the Longyan Empire to resist the demons, but also the eyes and ears of the female emperor scattered all over the world.

Chuci uncovered the facts of a case a few years ago in the case file library of the Cunning Situation.

Chen Jinshan was originally a wealthy family in Gusu City, and there was a female named Chen Yan in his family.

Chen Yan has many talents since she was a child, and she was even more delicate and lovely.

When he was young, Chen Yan was even more slim and graceful, and his fame spread throughout Gusu City.

At the age when they can get married, those who come to begging for relatives have crossed the threshold.

The defensive commander of Gusu City is Qin Wei, the official Juzheng third-rank Xuanwu general.

Qin Wei led his army to guard Gusu City and was quite prestigious.

Qin Wei had a son named Qin Shaowu. Xu Shi was negligent in discipline when he was a child, which led to Qin Shaowu's arrogance and domineering when he grew up.

Relying on the name of his father, Qin Wei, Qin Shaowu is also an existence that no one dares to provoke in Gusu City.

Qin Shaowu entangled with a group of fox friends and dog friends, and spent the whole day wandering around in Gusu City. Although it was not about bullying men and women, he did a lot of evil things.

But with Qin Wei walking behind, Qin Shaowu was not only fine, but even more arrogant.

One day Qin Shaowu saw Chen Yan who was admiring the lanterns outside, and he was immediately attracted by Chen Yan and coveted.

So the next day he ordered the matchmaker to come to ask for a kiss.

Chen Jinshan was photographed by Qin Wei's fame and wanted to agree.

However, Chen Yan refused this marriage to death.

Qin Shaowu's reputation is unknown in Gusu City. He has married a six-bedroom concubine in his family, and he still lingers in Goulanwasi.

Chen Yan is arrogant and naturally does not want to marry a notorious young master.

Seeing that his daughter died, Chen Jinshan disagreed, and he gave up his thoughts about marrying her.

Chen Jinshan thought that when he rejected the marriage, he would be suppressed at most in business, but he didn't expect that Chen Mansion would be murdered. Only Chen Yan escaped.

Looking through the dossiers of Chuci, it was recorded that the Chen Mansion was on fire. Except for Chen Yan herself, all the more than ten people in the family were killed.

It's just that there are quite a few suspicious points recorded above. Under the intervention of someone, the guard did not go deep into it, but just closed the case hastily.

Seeing this, Chu Ci is clear that most of the case of Chen Mansion's destruction of the door was operated by Qin Shaowu behind.

Even Qin Wei himself secretly instigated!

Chu Ci looked at He Sanqing who was silent, and said in a deep voice, "Master He, do you want me to uncover the old case of the Chen Mansion?"

He Sanqing shook his head when he heard this and sighed.

"When the Chen Mansion's killing of the door was committed, the officer had not yet been transferred to the city guard of Gusu."

"The city guard at the time was the official's mentor, Chu Qiu Dao."

"There were still many doubts in this case that have not been resolved, but at that time General Qin Wei intervened, and the mentor had no choice but to close the case hastily."

"Later, the mentor submitted this case to your majesty, but I don't know why there is no news."

"There is no suspense about the case of the teacher's heart, a few days later, he handed over his resignation and returned to his hometown in Huaiyin."

"After the teacher resigned, the officer was transferred to Gusu City and held the post of city guard."

"only···"

He Sanqing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This city guard is really involuntary!"
