Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 246 Stay

  At that time, Wei Zhi wanted to ask Bai Qi for a question. After asking, he realized that this Jinshi in the first year of Dazhen was not transferred to another place as an official, but died in the second year of Dazhen.

   Still dead in office, dead in the bandits.

  Wei Zhi had worked in the Ministry of Criminal Justice before, and his instinct exercised in making a case told him that it was abnormal.

  So he put aside the work of investigating the Yanwei Weir and turned to investigate Bai Qi.

  Two years have passed, and nothing can be seen in the account books of the Qianwei Weir. He knew that there must be something wrong with the Qianwei Weir, but there was no evidence and everything was in vain.

  So he went to check Bai Qi.

  The people with Bai Qi's side were all dead. Among them were not only his subordinates, but also some local officials. In those days, Bai Qi's county chief, He Ziyun and his eldest son died together, all for the purpose of suppressing the bandits.

  Wei Zhi felt resistance when investigating Baiqi, and that resistance was even greater than when investigating the Qianwei Weir.

  For example, when he wants to look at the account books of the Qianwei Weir in Yizhou Mansion, they will show it to him without blinking, and no one will stop him when he wants to see the workers who built the Qianwei Weir.

  But he found some old people back then to ask about Bai Qi, but some people stopped it again and again, and the people who were questioned kept flickering.

   Mingming before, he had also seen the case and various notes left by Bai Qi when he was in office, but overnight, the Yamen in Shu County caught fire and burned all the files.

  It was precisely because of this series of actions that he knew he had checked it.

  So he immediately sent someone to Bai Qi’s hometown of Longzhou to find someone, hoping to find his family.

  During this period, he was in Yizhou to fight floods and rescue disasters. When the people sent out came back from Longzhou, most of the relief work had been completed.

  He realized that the person he was looking for was actually in Yizhou Mansion.

  So when he heard two refugees on the side of the road mentioned that Mianzhou was also seriously affected, he came along.

  In Jiannan Road and Yizhou, his every move was stared at. It was impossible for him to come directly to see Liu.

  When he was in Brazil, he was still thinking about what kind of excuse he should make to go to Qili Village in Luojiang County, so he would call people up to talk when Master Bai was also there.

  Thinking that if he arrived in Luojiang County, Mr. Bai was as polite as other squires and asked him to go home for a while, he would definitely agree to go.

  The result was better than he expected.

  The night was dark, but Master Bai suddenly sent the long follower who followed him to leave, and he couldn't help thinking too much.

  Unexpectedly, Qili Village would have such a surprise waiting for him.

The guards who came back said that a group of people had arrived in Qili Village before them, but for some reason, they suddenly clashed with the local villagers, so they were arrested.

  Wei Zhi came to Qili Village this time. First, he wanted to meet the three people who were arrested. It would be better to take them away; second, he had a talk with Liu.

  The other party was so afraid that he would check Bai Qi, indicating that there must be something they are afraid of in Bai Qi's hands.

  Wei Zhi suspected that those things were in the hands of Bai Qi's family.

  But the only two letters from the family letter and two confessions that Liu gave to Wei Zhi.

  Wei Zhi frowned and asked, "Apart from these two family letters, does Bai Qi have nothing else left?"

  "Why would my son bring that kind of stuff home to bother us?" Liu said, "He was on duty at the time. At that time, my grandson was young and could not travel far, so we stayed at our hometown in Longzhou."

  This is troublesome.

   Wei Zhi asked, "Does the old lady have any other clues? Think about it, where would he hide things?"

  Liu shook his head, and said, "I can't think of it, honestly."

  Master Bai glanced at Liu's and lowered his head.

  Wei Zhi sighed and said, "I want to meet those three people."

   Liu immediately asked Daji to take Wei Zhi.

As soon as    and the others left, Master Bai asked: "Auntie, let's not say, Master Wei will know the existence of Zhou Yin and his wife after seeing those two people. Why should we hide from them?"

   "Is Mr. Wei credible?"

   "At least 90% of him can be trusted."

"But there are so many lives behind me, let alone 90%, or 90%, I don't dare to take this risk." Liu said: "He knows there will be such a couple, but it will You must not have thought it was Zhou Yin."

"That……"

   "Wait," Liu said: "Let's wait a little longer, anyway, he is not in a hurry to leave at this time, right?"

  Wei Zhi could also feel that Liu did not trust him very much, but he understood after a little thought.

  Wai Zhi was also a little silent when he came out of the guest house.

  The guard who followed him couldn't help asking, "My lord, does Liu know who the couple is?"

  Wei Zhi sighed, "She may know, but she must have not got Bai Qi's things, and she doesn't even know where it is."

  "What should I do, there is no physical evidence, we have nothing to do with King Yizhou and others."

   "Yes, there is no physical evidence, so it doesn't matter whether she trusts or not," Wei knew: "These three people's certificates are not very useful, they are just like chicken ribs. It's a shame to discard them, but they are of little use."

  The key lies in the things in Bai Qi's hands, but Bai Qi is dead, where would he put the things?

  Wei Zhi frowned, and said: "The old lady who knows Bai Qi best in this world is probably the old lady. It is much harder to let her speak than to let the three prisoners speak."

"That……"

   "But we are not in a hurry. We have time. It will take a few more days."

  The guard responded.

Wei Zhi said to live as long as he lives. Of course, it is impossible to live here. After all, Liu and Zheng are widows, and Bai Shanbao is young, so Wei Zhi and the guards moved to his house as friends of the old man. .

  Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai did not doubt at all, they welcomed them happily, and planned to organize a reception banquet for him, enthusiastically keeping him staying for a few more days.

  Wei Zhi readily agreed.

The old lady Bai and Bai Erlang who ran back from school laughed and said: "Go to the next door and call your cousin, and Man Bao, if she is there, bring it with you. I haven't seen those two children for two or three days. It's weird."

   Baijiro shouted: "They asked for leave, and they only went to school today."

  He was a little unconvinced, and hummed: "Grandma, they always ask for leave during this time." So he doesn't seem like a good student at all.

  Master Bai hated iron and steel and gave him a glance: "Yesterday Shanbao and Manbao read a book in the study for a day, but you went to school. What have you learned?"

   Baijiro didn’t believe him, he whispered: “Whoever asks for leave can still read...”

  Wei Zhi laughed and asked, “Is Shanbao the grandson of Mrs. Liu?”

   "Yes, a very clever child." The old lady Bai worked hard to show off Bai Shanbao, there is no way, her grandson is not there, and the grandnephew is also a grandson?

  After boasting Bai Shanbao, he praised their Erlang and said with a smile: "Our Erlang is also very well-behaved and filial."

   but did not say smart things.
