Chapter 478: The Case of Hidden Corpse in the Cowshed (98)
The sky was gray and not yet bright, and the thick fog obstructed the view, and I could not see the way forward.
On the official road 30 miles outside Yuzhou City, more than a hundred officers and soldiers were resting on the spot.
The tent was snoring like thunder, and birds kept flying overhead. The long night, every minute and every second, was hard for Li Yanzhou to take.
Since leaving Beijing, I have never been as restless as tonight. It seems that something has slammed his heart, causing him to be in pain and restless.
Shi Feng was guarding the side, anxiously in his eyes, "Young master, it's windy outside, please go back to the tent to sleep for a while."
"I'm not sleepy." Li Yanzhou whispered.
"How could you not sleep? Young Master, you haven't had a good sleep for several nights. Yuzhou City is already in front of you, you"
"Is the stone bridge not back yet?"
Shi Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Not yet. But my subordinates think that with Master Long's ability, there should be no danger."
Li Yanzhou's handsome face was covered with sorrow, "Du Mingcheng's second secret letter always gives me a bad premonition. Qian Qingming has been in power for a long time, his power is complicated, and he is insidious. If the Dragon Star Map is rashly going, his chances of winning will not be too great!"
"Young Master, don't worry, wait until the stone bridge gets in touch with the old man, we will."
"Young Master!"
In front of the stone bridge suddenly turned back quickly, his face looked very ugly, "I received accurate news from the old man that Master Long entered the city in the afternoon yesterday, but lost his trace at night! Now the city gate is martial law, Governor Qian ordered that no one should go to and from Yuzhou within three days. I am afraid that Master Long will be in danger!"
Li Yanzhou's blood surged rapidly, "Hurry, please let everyone set off and go to Yuzhou immediately!"
He traveled every day, as if he was marching in a hurry, only resting for three hours a day, and the other nine hours were running non-stop. After many days, the high-ranking officials and ministers who were pampered and had no choice but to bear it. At this moment, the good dream was disturbed and he couldn't help but complain, and he firmly protested against Li Yanzhou's cruelty!
"Mr. Li, you are a martial artist. We are really weak and weak. Please do it!"
"Yes, Young Marquis, we are here to do the job. We are not going to fight. There is no need to be so angry!"
However, Li Yanzhou's attitude is unreasonable. "Reorganizing officials and investigating evil officials is also a battlefield of gunpowder. The difference is a slight mistake. How can you afford to delay? Now that Yuzhou has changed, if we are late for a while, the consequences will be unestimated. I'm sorry, please forgive me!"
After saying that, he jumped onto the horse and ordered: "Follow the Three Guard of Honor, the officer in charge of the case will immediately start! After completing this case, I personally ask the emperor for the meritorious service. If there is any mistake, don't blame me for showing mercy!"
If Li Yanzhou was just a minister of Dali Temple, then Bai Zheng, the deputy chief censor of the Supervision Yuan, who was on par with him, and Zhao, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, would not be afraid and not under the jurisdiction. However, Li Yanzhou's additional identity was fearful, so under the threat of temptation, they had to obey orders!
The vast team rushed rapidly, and the official flag was flying in the howling cold wind!
Zhong Chu was trapped in the city. After escaping from Qian Mansion, Qian Qingmin ordered the soldiers and horse commanders of the five cities to seal the city, Luo Jiawu, and vowed to catch turtles in the jar, and executed Long Xingtu and Zhong Chu in Yuzhou without knowing it!
