The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

Mei Guangtao recognized Li Qingyan at a glance, and asked inexplicably, "Aren't you Li Ji's friend? Why are you here?"

Li Qingyan bowed his hands to him: "Report to the Governor of Mei, the students are here to assist the prince in handling the case."

Mei Guangtao did not expect that an ordinary suicide case would actually be able to alert His Royal Highness to investigate it in person.

While stunned, he was acutely aware of the unusual.

He had dealt with the prince and knew that the prince was not a simple person.

The crown prince must have the exact evidence, and he knew that Li Ji's death was strange, so he would investigate the case in person.

Thinking of this, Mei Guangtao felt that his hairline seemed to be moving back again.

He couldn't help rubbing his forehead.

Can't you stop this day?

He didn't ask much, he just wanted to commute to get off work normally.

Why can't he satisfy even such a humble request?

The prince said coldly: "Go and find out who took Li Ji's body? Also, Li Ji's residence, where he has been during this time, and who he has been with, we must find out."

Mei Guangtao had no other choice but to swallow the pain in his stomach and continue to work overtime resignedly.

Under the prince's instruction, Li Qingyan also joined the investigation.

Li Qingyan is a bold and careful person, and his brain is very useful. He extracted all the information about Li Ji in his memory, analyzed them one by one, and then confirmed them one by one.

With his assistance, Mei Guangtao checked all Li Ji's activities in the past two weeks in just one day.

Mei Guangtao yawned and dragged his tired body after working overtime all night to report to the prince.

"Li Ji's money is not loose. In order to maintain a living, he usually helps people copy books and settle accounts, so as to earn a little money to support the family."

"These are the people who have been in contact with him recently."

Mei Guangtao handed over a list.

"WeChen has already checked the list one by one, but no problems have been found. This is the summary after our investigation."

He handed over another dossier.

Luo Qinghan read all the content in one glance and ten lines, and his eyes stayed on the last line.

The last place Li Ji visited before his death was Donglai Building.

Donglailou is one of the most famous restaurants in Shengjing City. The consumption of that place is very high, and Li Ji's net worth should not be able to go to such a place.

Luo Qinghan asked, "What is Li Ji doing in Donglailou?"

Mei Guangtao answered truthfully: "The exam is coming soon. There are more and more scholars gathered in Shengjing. They like to hold poetry and tea parties when they are bored. That day, someone happened to get a poem in Donglailou. Yes, Li Ji got an invitation from somewhere, he went to Donglailou to attend the poetry party, but the strange thing is that he left in a hurry before the poetry party was over."

These are all information provided by the shopkeepers and the guys in Donglailou.

Luo Qinghan asked again, "Where did he go after he left Donglailou?"

Mei Guangtao: "He went straight back to his residence, and he never came out after that. We didn't know that he was dead until Li Qingyan reported to the officer the next day."

Luo Qinghan: "Who are the people who participated in the poetry meeting?"

Mei Guangtao said embarrassingly: "This matter is not easy to investigate."

"Why?"

"The person who held the poetry party is Qin Wen."

Qin Wen is the son of Qin Lie. It is said that he did very well in Taixue. He is a well-known young talent in Shengjing City.

If you want to find out who the guests of the poetry club are, you have to pass Qin Wen first.

But Qin Wen has been staying in Qin's house for the past two days. The door is not open to the second door. People from Jingzhao Mansion came to look for him, but they didn't even see Qin Wen's face, so he was given by the housekeeper of the Qin family. sent away.

If it was an ordinary family, Jingzhao Mansion could forcibly take people away in order to handle the case.

But the Qin family can't.

Not to mention the petty officials below, even if Mei Guangtao, the head of Jingzhao Mansion, went to the Qin family in person, he had to be careful.

None of them dared to offend the Qin family.

Luo Qinghan asked blankly, "What are you afraid of?"

Mei Guangtao smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

Luo Qinghan turned to ask another thing.

"Has the person who took Li Ji's body found?"

Mei Guangtao: "Not yet."

Luo Qing looked at him coldly.

Mei Guangtao's scalp was numb when he saw it. It wasn't long since he saw the prince last time. Why is the prince's momentum getting stronger and stronger? Just one look now makes people feel uneasy.

Mei Guangtao bit the bullet and explained: "The person who took the body was disguised, and the name and identity were all faked. To find him is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"I don't care about this, I only want the result."

Mei Guangtao hurriedly said: "Wei Chen will definitely urge the people under his command to find them as soon as possible!"

He lamented in his heart that it was over, and he had to work overtime again!

After Luo Qinghan left Jingzhao Mansion, he went directly to the Punishment Department.

Before Yulinwei found the Book of Changes from the bookstore, the Cui family, as the owner behind the bookstore, had been monitored by Yulinwei. As for the little son of the Cui family, he had long been arrested by the Ministry of Punishment. Now people are locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The minister of punishment, Dong Mingchun, learned that the prince was coming, and hurriedly went out to greet him in person.

Luo Qinghan asked as he walked to the prison department.

"How's that kid from the Cui family?"

Dong Mingchun reported truthfully: "According to His Royal Highness's instructions, Young Master Cui has been deliberately locked in a room alone. At first, he kept yelling at people to let him out. Later, he was probably tired, so he calmed down."

"Bring him out, Gu has to arraign him in person."

"Here."

Luo Qinghan met Young Master Cui in the torture room.

Originally, Young Master Cui was still stubborn and refused to say anything until the Crown Prince was executed. Young Master Cui, who had been pampered since he was a child, was immediately frightened, and shook off everything he knew.

According to his confession, the copy of the Book of Changes containing the exam questions was given to him by his father. As for where his father got the Book of Changes, Young Master Cui does not know.

The reason why he sells exam questions is for money.

The life of the Cui family has become more and more difficult over the years. Almost all the industries accumulated by their ancestors have been destroyed. There are only two paths they face next—

Or completely degenerate and become ordinary people.

Or just take the risk and find a way to make money.

The Cui family chose the latter.

They are used to the life of brocade clothes and jade food, and they despise the commoners from the bottom of their hearts. It is better to let them die if they want to reduce them to lowly common people.

Selling the exam questions is very risky, but the profit is also very considerable.

For the sake of money, the Cui family doesn't mind taking risks.

Young Master Cui burst into tears and snot: "I beg your Highness for mercy, I will never dare again!"
