Chapter 206 He is the second son of the Song Dynasty
After making up the idea, Li Yi and others rushed back to the yamen because they came quickly enough that Zheng Er had not come back when they arrived at the yamen.
Li Yi walked straight towards the county government, frowning deeper and deeper along the way.
"What's wrong?" Yun Zhaozhao asked closer.
Li Yi looked at her: "Don't you think there are many innocent faces in the yamen?"
Li Yi is also a regular customer in the yamen. When the stinky tofu shop was opened, many yamen came to support him and they all became familiar with Li Yi.
But after entering the yamen this time, I met many people, but none of them knew each other.
Yun Zhaozhao looked around and his face darkened, "I don't even know each other."
Chu Ping, who was more familiar with the people in the yamen, whispered: "Any of the constables under Zhao County Weir was gone."
"It seems that the yamen has been controlled by Zheng Qi and Wang Yong." Li Yi's heart sank. This is definitely not good news.
"I'll go find Chen Zhuo and the others." Chu Ping couldn't let go and went in another direction.
Li Yi, Yun Zhaozhao and Zhao Dezhao went to the county jail all the way, but no one stopped him.
Entering the deepest part of the county prison, Li Yi saw Zhao County Magistrate in the cell. He was sitting on a chair, lowering his head and reading a book through the faint light from the iron window.
Under the faint light, the dust floated, and Zhao County Wei remained motionless, like a sculpture.
"Mr. County lieutenant." Li Yi called softly.
County Magistrate Zhao raised his head, glanced at Li Yi, then put down the book, walked over quickly, and grabbed the iron bar with both hands: "Did you see Manager Wan?"
Li Yi looked at his eyes calmly, his lips slightly moved: "Shopkeeper Wan is dead."
Zhao County Wei's pupils shrank significantly, and he seemed very surprised. Li Yi noticed that his fingers holding the iron railing trembled, with a faint spasm, and his breathing stopped for a while.
Li Yi continued to speak: "We found a note in Manager Wan's shoes, saying, "You are the top scholar in the ghost. The note was taken away by Zheng Qi's people."
"What?" Zhao County Magistrate withdrew his hands, took a few steps back, then paced left and right, murmured, "Oh, oh, oh."
"What's wrong?" Li Yi asked.
Zhao County Wei shook his head, fell to sit on the chair, his face full of depressedness: "This matter is irreversible, you guys, let's go."
Li Yi had a blank expression: "So, did you admit that you killed Lord Zhang Yun and Manager Wan?"
Although the clerk of the Zhuangyuan Building had never met Zhao County Wei today, and Zhao County Wei did not have time to commit crimes, he could have ordered a yamen officer in the Zhuangyuan Building to do such a thing.
Zhao County Wei sighed: "What's the point of talking about this kind of thing now? It's too late to step by step."
Yun Zhaozhao finally couldn't help but say, "County lieutenant, where is it late? You must know something right? As long as you tell what you know, we can still save you!"
County Magistrate Zhao glanced at Zhao Dezhao and smiled bitterly.
Li Yi said: "My county magistrate doesn't have to worry. Although Brother Zhao came with Zheng Qi, he is not Zheng Qi's person, so he can be believed."
Zhao Dezhao said righteously: "Prince Zhao, please say nothing if you have anything. I only stand on the side of justice and truth."
"Just justice, the truth?" Zhao County Magistrate looked directly at Zhao Dezhao for a moment, suddenly laughed, and he looked at Li Yi again, "Is the truth important?"
There was a joke in his eyes, which made Li Yi feel furious: "Isn't it important?"
“Is it important?”
“Don’t it matter?”
County Magistrate Zhao took a deep breath: "Is it really important?"
Li Yi fell into silence and said slowly after a moment: "We must always distinguish between good and evil."
Zhao County Wei smiled again, as if mocking something: "Is good and evil important?"
"Are these not important to the county magistrate?" Li Yi was a little annoyed.
Zhao County Wei waved his hand and sighed: "Only and evil are often mixed together, so where can we distinguish them? We can't tell them clearly, we can't tell them clearly..."
"Li Yi, go, too many people have died in this matter, I can't harm you." Zhao County Wei curled up on the straw mat with his back facing the prison door. No matter how Li Yi spoke, he would not listen to him.
Li Yi gritted his teeth, turned his head to Yun Zhaozhao and said, "Zhaozhao, guard the door and don't let anyone hear our conversation."
"Okay." Yun Zhaozhao walked out of the prison door, holding a black gun bag in his arms, and his eyes were cautious in his clear black and white eyes.
Li Yi pulled Zhao Dezhao aside and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, I guess you want to know the inside story of this case, right?"
Zhao Dezhao nodded: "Of course, right and wrong must be clearly distinguished. You cannot let a bad person go, nor can you wrongly blame a good person."
Zhao Dezhao also realized the extraordinaryness of this case at this time. He did not expect that the case would be so interesting. He had become interested and eager to know the inside story.
Li Yi's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said seriously: "Brother Zhao, can I trust you?"
Zhao Dezhao straightened his back and said, "I have always been a person who is open and upright. Brother Li just believes in me."
"Okay, I'll take this sentence seriously." Li Yi walked back to the iron railing, knocked on the iron railing, making a clear sound, "Vice Zhao, do you know what this brother Zhao is?"
Zhao County Wei did not speak and remained indifferent.
Li Yi said lightly: "He is the second son of the Song Dynasty official family, Zhao Dezhao. He came here in person this time to find out the death of Lord Zhang Yun, and he will definitely uphold justice for you."
"Hmm?" County Magistrate Zhao got up, glanced at Zhao Dezhao who was also stunned, and then twisted his head and stared at Li Yi, "Are you scaring me?"
Li Yi used his elbow to confront Zhao Dezhao. Zhao Dezhao coughed lightly and said slowly: "Yes, I am Zhao Dezhao."
However, I am not trying to investigate any case, I am just trying to see Miss Yun...
Zhao Dezhao took out a token from his arms and handed it to Zhao County Wei.
"Guizhou Defense Envoy?" Zhao Wei took the token and looked at it, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly bowed, "It's really the Second Prince?"
Zhao Dezhao became a married man in the second year of Gande. According to the usual practice, the prince should be named king as soon as he left the house. However, Zhao Kuangyin believed that Zhao Dezhao was young and wanted him to gradually become a title, so Zhao Dezhao is now only appointed as the Guizhou Defense Envoy.
"You can tell whether the token is true or false, and it will be true if you look at it. The fake one will naturally not be true." Zhao Dezhao stopped pretending, shook his sleeves, raised his head and raised his chest, showing a royal style.
"Of course it's true, naturally it's true." Zhao County Wei was very excited and held the token with both hands, "Please ask the Second Highness to take back the token."
Zhao Dezhao put the token back in his arms and looked at Li Yi blankly, full of doubts: How did he see my identity?
What Miss Yun told him? It’s not right. Miss Yun is not the kind of gossiping person.
Although I had misled my tongue before, he shouldn't know my name...
After thinking about it, Zhao Dezhao looked at Li Yi deeply, only to say that this person is unfathomable and deserves to be the smartest person in Zhaozhou.
After borrowing Zhao Dezhao's name, Li Yi said, "With the Second Prince here, there will naturally be justice. You can open the skylight and say something bright, right?"
County Magistrate Zhao nodded, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled:
