Mr. Zhou’s house was raided.

This is what Wen Yu, Master Qing, and Yi Bai are most looking forward to after Tan's death.

The new emperor ordered people to investigate the Bai family case.

Evidence about this "Mr. Zhou" was found from the King of Wu, and as a result, the Zhou family was raided.

Zhang Jiangqing participated in it personally, so Wen Yu received first-hand information.

However, the result was depressing. Li Qun's eldest son, grandson and other people had no idea what Li Qun, the head of the family, had done. He didn't even know where his father and younger brother had gone.

No useful evidence was found at home. The small courtyard where Li Qun usually discussed matters and made contacts was also checked, but nothing useful was found either.

Wen Yu couldn't help but curse: This cunning old fox! Is he really so perfect in his work? It's a pity that the capital was in chaos at that time, the prince and grandson were in critical condition, and the Qi family was in a mess, so they couldn't take care of him.

By the time I calmed down and wanted to arrest him, he had disappeared.

Wen Yu couldn't help but admire her. In comparison, Li Danniu's methods were just petty tricks.

Four or five months later, the new emperor was firmly on the throne.

Zhang Jiangqing came that day and brought important news.

"Li Qun is dead?" Wen Yu's eyes widened, unable to believe it.

"Yes. It was found by mountain folks who were collecting firewood. He must have been in a hurry to escape and his carriage fell off a cliff. The mountains there are high and the forests are dense, so no one found it for a while. The body has rotted now, but the clothes on his body, the jade pendant he wore, and the seal he carried with him prove that it was him."

Wen Yu didn't know whether she should be happy or depressed. "How could such a powerful person die so easily?"

"The items were shown to his eldest son in prison, who confirmed that they were indeed his."

Wen Yu said sullenly, "He got it easy! This is not a good outcome! The Bai family incident happened many years ago, and there is no reliable evidence. Only with the confession of a key person can the case be overturned!"

She, Master Qing, and Yi Bai were both happy and dissatisfied with the news...

After some time, Mu Bo and Zhang Huan came back, and they went to Lord Zhou's hometown.

This time, I brought back some pretty explosive news for Wen Yu.

"Li Qun's youngest son and his eldest grandson are dead!"

Wen Yu and Master Qing looked at each other... "Tell me what's going on!"

It was Zhang Yuan who spoke again, "This is what happened..."

It turned out that Li Qun's youngest son, along with his wife, two sons and daughters-in-law, and grandchildren, were heading west.

Arriving in Lin County, he opened the letter as his father had told him. He was stunned when he saw the letter, and then he opened the box, which contained a new identity, land deed, and house deed.

After looking back and forth for a long time, he sat down and said, "Let's change our identities and wait for news from him. But why...? Is there a mistake?"

His wife, son and daughter-in-law were also dumbfounded. Their families were all in Beijing, and the family left in a hurry without even saying goodbye. Now they changed their names and surnames, and they can't go back anymore! ? How can this be possible?

His eldest son was quite smart: "Father, did grandpa participate in the fight for the throne between the King of Wu or the King of An... He was afraid that something would happen, so he let us go and leave a root for the Zhou family?"

Several people widened their eyes.

"I don't know what your grandfather did. But he is always meticulous in his work. He even asked us to change our identities, so it must be a big deal!"

The women all started crying.

The Zhou family is in the capital, and that is a truly good life! The little granddaughter who came with him is also about to get engaged to the person she likes.

All over? They will never come back to the capital? No matter how capable Li Qun is, he can only prepare some houses and land for them to ensure that they have enough food and clothing. But how can they live as ordinary people without official positions? "Where is grandfather? Where is uncle? Will they... get into trouble?"

After leaving the capital, there was no news. Everyone looked at each other, feeling cold from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially the women, who had never expected to encounter such a thing after marrying into the Zhou family? They all got angry and refused to move forward, creating a situation where they could neither move forward nor backward.

Finally, Li Qun's youngest son decided to take his eldest son to the arranged place first, arrange everything, and then come back to pick up the family, women and children.

So he rented a yard in the local area and settled down. He took his eldest son and two guards and headed to the place where he wanted to settle down.

Perhaps Li Qun himself didn’t expect this…

His usual method of framing others is to slander them for being in collusion with bandits!

And his beloved youngest son actually encountered bandits.

Zhang Yuan said: "The four of them encountered a group of dozens of bandits who robbed them of all their belongings and killed them. Later, this group of bandits met our master's men and wiped them out! When we traced back, we found out the truth."

Before, Qi Wu settled the Qi Family Army and sent Qi Xiao over. Qi Xiao was so overwhelmed by a series of things that he ran to the Qi Family Army. These bandits were caught by his men.

"Ma'am, guess who this bandit leader is?" Mu Bo and Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up.

"who?"

"He is the real grandson of Mr. Zhou!"

"What?" Wen Yu felt her back go numb. "Really?"

"Mr. Zhou was originally a talented person. Although he was not married before going to Beijing for the imperial examination, his maid became pregnant. His family was afraid that it would affect his marriage, so they sent the maid to the countryside. Later, he passed the imperial examination in Beijing, but he never mentioned the matter of this maid.

The family was afraid that he would be unhappy, so they did not bring him with them when they went to Beijing. Later, his parents died one after another. No one cared about the girl anymore and she was bullied. The son became an illiterate farmer. He grew up, got married, and had a grandson. Later, a disaster struck, and the grandson became a bandit!

"Since Lord Zhou came to Beijing, he hasn't seen his hometown people again. He didn't even go back to his hometown after his parents died. It's because he is such a high-ranking official that no one dares to mention it!"

"After the bandits were caught, the master learned the truth and followed the clues to capture the entire family, including women and children. They are now being sent to the capital! This is the letter written by Li Qun, as well as their identities and land deeds, etc."

Wen Yu slowly flipped through these things and said to Master Qing and Yi Bai, "He prepared so well, how could he have an accident and fall off the cliff and die?"

Master Qing nodded: "Maybe he changed his identity and hid himself. It's hard to find him in such a huge crowd."

Yi Bai said: "If falling off the cliff was a trap set by him, then it means that he has not left. Or, he has lived in seclusion in the city. Who knows... maybe he has returned to the capital again!"

Wen Yu's eyes lit up: "It's really possible! Otherwise, the capital is in chaos, and he changed his identity and left. Who would know where he went? Why would he fake his death?"

Yi Bai nodded: "At that time, the situation was still uncertain, and he might have wanted to take another look. But the whole capital is so big, where can we find him? We can't just search door to door!"

Wen Yu said, "We can go door to door looking for him, but I'm afraid that even if I see him, I won't be able to recognize him..."

Several people pondered over it, and suddenly, Wen Yu's eyes lit up, "This person is very particular about life. Xiang..."

Yi Bai's eyes lit up, "Then let's see where the best incense-making houses in the capital sell the best incense!"

"Xiangzhi Pavilion. Go get his account book!"

Wen Yu gave a direct order, saying that no one dared to offend her in the capital. After a while, the shopkeeper of Xiangzhi Pavilion came with the accountant, holding the account book.

Wen Yu and Yi Bai asked the shopkeeper while looking at the accounts.

This shopkeeper really recognized Mr. Zhou. Although Mr. Zhou tried to cover up when buying incense, he only liked to use two kinds of incense. No matter what tricks he used, he didn't become a shopkeeper for nothing. He knew it a long time ago.

Just don't say it out loud.

Follow this line and touch downwards.

Finally, Wen Yu pointed to an address on the account for incense delivery: "This is probably it!"

Yibai was so excited that he wanted to go and catch the man himself.

Wen Yu shook her head, "Don't think too simply. Does he have no backup plan?"

After Li Qun escaped, he really returned to the capital and changed his identity. He lived in this small courtyard in the north city. Although he was depressed, his life was still luxurious.

Suddenly one day, a group of people attacked his yard.

He kept his most elite guards around him, and the two sides started fighting.

He remained calm, since he had been discovered again... He picked up a small bag and went through the secret door. The secret door led to the yard next door. After entering this yard, he could go out to the street.

There is another place to stay.

But he didn't expect that the people who came to catch him were also very powerful. He didn't buy him much time. When he came out of the secret door and reached the small courtyard next door...

A few people, led by Wen Yu, were standing there waiting for him.

Li Qun saw Yi Bai at first sight...

What's there to not understand? Without hesitation, he reached into his sleeve, took out the pill, and swallowed it directly.

You are so gentle and you want to commit suicide without even saying a word?

"Get me the medicine!"

Laba stepped forward and slapped Li Qun on the back... but he didn't spit it out...

Wen Yu was even angrier. She looked around and saw a toilet for servants nearby. "Go, get some shit and urine and pour it over me! Make him vomit!"

Li Qun was shocked: "..." This bastard woman! "Don't even think about humiliating me!"

Wen Yu sneered, "Of course I can! We have only just started now?! Just wait!"

There was someone who was really quick and nimble. He got a ladle with something and just pressed Li Qun to pour the liquid into his mouth.

"Kill me! Ugh..."

Li Qun has lived to this age, how could he have experienced this? He is extremely particular about his life and has a bit of a cleanliness obsession.

This time, he was so angry that he vomited his gallbladder. There was something yellow on his face and hair.

Only then did he know what it meant to live a life worse than death...

…

A few months later, Li Qun was sentenced to death, and his children and grandchildren also received the punishment they deserved.

The Bai family’s case was overturned.

Two years later, Master Qing and Yibai returned home... and reunited with their third sister and eldest sister's son.

Yibai spent a year and finally found a secret cave in the mountains.

There are many secret books and objects of the Bai family inside.

As the new head of the Bai family, he made the decision to present these treasures to the emperor...
