When Mu Yuanxiu and Chu Ci arrived at the Governor's Office, the case had already been closed there. They first looked through the confessions carefully before visiting Lin Futong.

"Mr. Mu, Lord Chu, thank you for taking the time to visit me. I am not seriously injured. If I hadn't been careless and called him to confront him directly, he wouldn't have been in a hurry." Lin Fu

He was wrapped in thick gauze with stars of blood printed on it, which showed how deep the wound was. When he saw the two, he took the initiative to attract the topic to the areas they were interested in.

He sighed when he spoke, obviously he was quite moved by what had just happened.

Chu Ci observed his movements and expressions and found that his injury was indeed not fake. He occasionally felt the thrilling expression when he accidentally touched the wound, no one could pretend.

"What did Lord Lin confront Lord Qi?" Mu Yuanxiu asked. In his opinion, this matter was very suspicious. According to Chu Ci's description of Qi Luzhi, this person is not the kind of person who is prone to impulsiveness, but is familiar with it.

Various unspoken rules in the officialdom are very sleek people. How could such a person be blatantly killed in the yamen?

Lin Futong sighed deeply, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he looked like he wanted to say but couldn't say it. After Mu Yuanxiu repeatedly questioned, he said, "Oh, this is all my fault. Yesterday

Didn’t this official visit the fugitive Housekeeper Zhao in the inn? After learning that he was fine, I felt relieved. I guess after he woke up, I could know who secretly helped him escape."

Lin Futong was very pleased and calm when he said this. Even if everyone knew it was his work, he would still have some doubts about his judgment when he heard this.

"What does this matter have to do with Lord Qi?"

"It's bad here. I was happy for a moment and told Lord Qi, who came to discuss the matter with Mr. Zhao. I originally thought Lord Qi would be as happy as me. But who knew that he heard it after hearing it

His face changed drastically, and then he felt unconscious. After a while, he even said that he had something to leave."

"After he left, my official thoughts became more and more strange. Master Qi's behavior made me feel that there must be hidden information. However, Master Qi has worked with me for many years, and before the matter was found out, I will not harm him.

Qingming, at night, secretly asked someone to come over and ask carefully about what happened in the afternoon."

Lin Futong said while observing the expressions of Mu and Chu. Seeing that they were silent from beginning to end, he felt a little nervous, but he still followed the previous words.

"As soon as I mentioned a few words, Lord Qi's face changed drastically. After my patient persuasion, he finally told the matter. It turned out that he had let Butler Zhao go and then secretly designed to murder his family.

.In the afternoon, he heard that Butler Zhao was about to wake up, and feared that his deeds would be revealed, so he decided to take the initiative and kill Butler Zhao. He also said that he sent a secret son and several killers to come over, and wrote that he had thrown a cup as a letter.

Wait for an opportunity."

Mu Yuanxiu frowned at this time. What Lin Futong said was exactly the same as what happened in the inn last night. If this was designed by him, why did he say it like this? Aren't he afraid of being

Did someone expose it?

"Last night, some people were caught in the inn, but no matter how they interrogated them, they refused to tell who sent them. Lord Lin was sure that it was Lord Qi who sent them there?"

Lin Futong nodded in pain: "The people sent were indeed Lord Qi. I wonder if they had observed that there were patterns engraved on the inside of their wrists. All servants of Qi's family were

There is such a mark."

Mu Yuanxiu nodded, and he did find those yesterday.

Lin Futong continued, "When I heard this, I would call in and stop him. How could I tolerate him if I despise the law and discipline like this? He suddenly panicked and kept pleading with me. Later, seeing that the pleading failed, he started to kill me.

Heart, holding a dagger in hand, rushed towards me. I couldn't dodge and was stabbed in the arm. During this process, I kept calling for help. After hearing this, the yamen outside rushed in. Qilu saw that the situation was gone.

, in a state of dismay, he committed suicide."

The story told by Lin Futong seems to be quite logical at first glance. But if you think carefully, you can find many flaws.

For example, "I wonder, Lord Lin, why did Lord Qi let him go and design to assassinate the family of Butler Zhao? What was his motive?" Chu Ci asked.

Lin Futong replied calmly: "It's because the housekeeper Zhao has evidence of Lord Qi's bribery. He was afraid that the imperial envoy would interrogate the prisoner in the spy case and implicate him, so he decided to let Zhao go.

Butler. Unexpectedly, Butler Zhao opened his mouth and asked for a closure fee of 3,000 taels before he was willing to leave. Lord Qi couldn't afford the money, so he decided to take the initiative first."

Chu Ci noticed that when talking about the time-consuming closure, a hint of resentment flashed in Lin Futong's eyes. He felt that this matter should be true, but it may not necessarily happen to Qi Luzhi. Mu Yuanxiu and

Chu Ci looked at each other and understood that the other party had the same suspicion as him. He looked at Lin Futong with a smile: "Mr. Lin knows this so well, it seems to have witnessed it with his own eyes. It can be seen that Mr. Qi was really treating you last night.

It's heart-to-heart."

"Haha," Lin Fu smiled twice, "I have worked with him for many years, and he trusted me more. But there are legal principles in addition to human feelings. I will not do anything to do as he wishes and to betray the law.

.”

Mu Yuanxiu wanted to ask again, but Lin Futong was already showing signs of fatigue. Seeing this, his subordinates immediately took medicine and persuaded them, so they couldn't disturb him. Lin Futong was still in Southern Fujian Province.

The top leader, without evidence to prove that he killed Qi Luzhi, still they would give him this little face.

After leaving the governor's yamen, Mu Yuanxiu immediately asked: "A Ci, are you talking about true or false?"

Chu Ci shook his head: "I don't know either. But I think he is lying. Although the testimony of the yamen servants was that as soon as they entered the door, they saw Qi Lu lying straight in a pool of blood, holding a knife in his right hand and stabbing it in front of his chest.

But this cannot prove that Qiluzhi committed suicide.”

"What do you mean is that Lin Futong killed Qiluzhi? But do you remember that in the confession just now, there was a doctor. He said that Lin Futong's right hand was damaged by the tendons and veins and could not gather strength, but Qiluzhi

The injury on the chest was more than two inches deep. Judging from the force of the piercing, it was impossible that Lin Futong stabbed it in. Moreover, the source of the dagger was found out, and it was given to Qiluzhi by a foreign merchant."

Chu Ci couldn't tell the reason for this for a while, but judging from his understanding of them, Lin Futong must be lying. His purpose should be to push all this on Qi Luzhi.

However, "Butler Zhao" is about to wake up, and even if he lies, he will be exposed soon. Could it be that Qi Lu helped to do that? If this is the case, I'm afraid they will be really

There is nothing to do with Lin Futong. His intuition has always been very accurate, but handling cases cannot rely on intuition. If there is no evidence, it will be useless to say more.

"Not necessarily, aren't there a few people locked up in the inn? If they have evidence that Qi Lu directly obeys Lin Futong, then he can't escape." Mu Yuanxiu felt that the red jade was facing Qi Lu directly.

From loyalty, if she knew that he was dead, she would definitely be unable to calm down and reveal something.

"That's all."

After returning to the inn, Mu Yuanxiu ordered people to bring Hongyu and several killers yesterday to tell them about Qiluzhi's assassination of Lin Futong's attempt to commit suicide.

"Impossible!" Hongyu shouted in disbelief, "How could Lord Qi commit suicide?!" The killers also had unbelievable expressions.

"In fact, we don't want to lie to you. We just came from the Governor's yamen, and your Lord Qi's body was still parked in the yamen."

The red ** softened and fell to the ground and cried. The killers had no deep feelings for Qi Lu, and at this time they just lowered their heads and stood aside silently.

"Don't be too sad now. The most urgent thing is to provide evidence to prove Lord Qi's innocence. Governor Lin just put all the charges on Lord Qi. If he couldn't clean it up, he would probably have his relatives.

It was in trouble." Mu Yuanxiu pretended to persuade him.

However, Hongyu and the killers were going to disappoint him, because in their identities, it was impossible to get in touch with these things, so naturally it was impossible to have evidence.

Mu Yuanxiu was very disappointed and waved his hand and signaled to take them back.

"Let's go," Chu Ci called them, "Please take the other people first. I have something to do. I want to ask Miss Hongyu."

Mu Yuanxiu nodded to his subordinates, and soon, there were only the two of them and Hongyu. The reason why Chu Ci left Hongyu was because he discovered that Hongyu seemed to have been serving Qiluzhi for a while.

Time, I believe she has better understanding of some of his situation than others.

"What privacy does Lord Qi have?" Hongyu thought for a while, then said, "The difference between the master and ordinary people should be that."

"Which?" Mu Yuanxiu became interested. He had no hope for the conversation, but he didn't expect that he could really ask something.

Hongyu said: "The master is a child prodigy, an ordinary scholar who can only write with one hand, but the master can write with both hands at the same time, and his writing is very beautiful. However, since he encountered a bandit three years ago and was injured.

After one hand, the hand was not good to write. Fortunately, his left hand could still write, otherwise—”

"Wait a minute, which hand did you say was the one who was cut off?" Chu Ci stood up suddenly and interrupted her regardless of etiquette.

Hongyu was a little nervous when she saw this: "Yes... it's right hand. If it's an ordinary person, eating will probably be a problem. However, the master is well-raised and his daily life is unhindered, but he just can't do heavy work and can't use his strength."

After hearing this, Chu Ci laughed, and the depression in his chest suddenly disappeared. As expected, there is no way out. Now, let’s see what Lin Futong has to say!

Mu Yuanxiu looked at him strangely, obviously not understanding, what's funny about Qi Luzhi's right hand being injured. Wait! The right hand is injured, can't use force?!

"Mr. Mu, you have discovered it too. This is really a vast net of heaven, and it is not missed. Even if Lin Futong made up the story exquisitely, there will be a time when it is secretly secret. Even if other crimes cannot be determined, it will only be a murder.
