Concentrating on his mind, Xu Yi clasped his fists and continued: "Your Majesty, Yushi Qichen passed by an alley last night and died unexpectedly. After getting the news, the general ordered people to investigate immediately. It turned out that the driver died by suicide..."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood what Xu Chu meant.

Yang Jian pondered for a moment, then asked: "What is the motive? Why did the driver do this?"

Xu Mi said: "The general didn't investigate clearly, so he dare not speak falsely, but according to the general, the coachman owed a huge amount of gambling debts!"

Xu Xi knew that in terms of IQ, he couldn't compete with all the bosses in the room, and there was no benefit in playing with some cleverness, so he just had to tell the story and let these smart guys complete the story by themselves.

Robbery?

This idea was rejected after a while in everyone's minds. Since it is a huge gambling debt, let alone whether Qi Chen, the eighth-rank censor, has so much money, even if he does, what's the use of killing him on the way? Qi Chen still has the habit of carrying a lot of money with him?

Besides, even if it is for the purpose of robbing money, what kind of operation is suicide?

Xu Yu watched Zaifu Manchao thinking about his words, his face was indifferent.Now that Ren Jiancheng is "recovering from illness" at home, he believes that there is no flaw in his rhetoric and methods of dealing with the aftermath.

Moreover, all the witnesses last night were nothing more than a group of night patrolling soldiers. With the name of Ying Yangwei, if they were slightly intimidated and given some sweetness, no one would risk offending his minions to come out and talk nonsense.

Just when Xu Mi was extremely determined, Qin Feng had just regained the feeling of returning to the cage.

Last night he didn't dare to disturb the servants and maids in the Qin residence, so he just found a guest room to make do with it for the night. Now that he woke up after a good night's sleep, he felt refreshed and even a little hungry.

Ever since, Qin Feng asked the kitchen to make a large bowl of soup cakes, topped with a layer of minced wild pork, and served with red chili oil, which whetted Qin Feng's appetite.

"Wild pork is really delicious!"

In fact, wild pork still has a fishy smell in it, but with chili oil and Qin Feng's seasonings, it's not a big problem.

When Yang Guang brought Yang Awu to Qinjiazhuang, what he saw was the scene of Qin Feng eating heartily.

Qin Feng ate it in two mouthfuls, and finally finished the soup, wiped his mouth, and burped: "You guys came at a good time. At noon, I will treat you to wild boar meat, which is fresh."

"Brother Ziyu went hunting?"

Seeing his sister's greedy appearance, Yang Guang smiled and asked.

"Yes." Qin Feng patted his stomach, and said with a satisfied face: "Last night, I was busy all night, and I caught a big guy, weighing more than 200 catties. You can bring some meat back later, so that your majesty and empress can taste it."

The focus of Yang Guang's attention was obviously not on a wild boar. He first sent Yang Awu to play with Hanhan, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother Ziyu, Yushi Qichen died last night!"

"Die well!"

Qin Feng leaned back on the Grand Master's chair without the slightest sense of public morality, and asked, "Who killed it?"

"How did Brother Ziyu know that he was killed by someone?"

Qin Feng was stunned, and said with a smile: "I heard that he has just passed forty, and he is considered healthy on weekdays. He was not killed by others. Could it be that he fell to his death while walking?"

Yang Guang didn't think too much, and continued, "According to Xu Mi, the murderer was his coachman."

Qin Feng curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Do you believe it?"

"Do not believe!"

If someone else said this, such as Liu Renen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, then Yang Guang might really believe it, but Xu Mi...

Even if it was just out of disgust for this person, Yang Guang would not believe a word of his words.

"Ha ha."

The fun is just beginning!

Thinking of his own arrangement, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing out loud, which made Yang Guang a little puzzled, but Qin Feng didn't intend to explain.

The Qi Mansion located in Pingkangfang is not eye-catching at all. After all, as a censor, his salary is barely enough to make ends meet. If he is too ostentatious, he may be targeted by his superiors immediately.

However, since early this morning, there have been countless rumors circulating in Pingkang Square, and no one cared about it at first, but when a piece of news spread to Qi's mansion, even though Qi Chen's death didn't really bother him, his wife was finally still. Unbearable, he went straight out of Liu's residence and headed for the imperial city.

In the imperial city, Yang Jian, who didn't care too much about Qi Chen's death, had already accepted Xu Mi's argument, and was going to confiscate the coachman's house. As for the motive of the murder, it would not be too late to investigate slowly in the future.

However, before Yang Jian gave the order, the servant just now left and came back with a message.

"Your Majesty, Qi Chen's wife is now calling for grievances at Dali Temple."

Yang Jian was a little stunned, he didn't understand, so he said: "What wronged her?"

The little servant lowered his head, but everyone saw embarrassment on his face.

"Your Majesty, the woman said that there are rumors outside that she had an affair with that coachman, and that coachman couldn't bear Qi Chen's bullying to her on weekdays, so they conspired to kill Qi Chen together."

"absurd!"

Yang Jian was furious. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, as long as it gets out, Da Sui Chaotang will lose all face. This is something he cannot tolerate no matter what.

Yang Jian was about to order someone to find out the source of the rumor, but the little servant continued: "Your Majesty, there are other rumors."

"..."

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

Yang Jian suddenly felt that he was not sincere during the sacrifice at the beginning of the year, which caused all kinds of monsters to come out, and a mere censor was killed. How could there be so many rumors?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yang Jian asked, "What other rumors are there?"

"Some people say that Qi Chen and Ren Jiancheng, the deputy of Yingyangwei Qianhu, had a conflict when they were fighting for a woman, and they were killed by Ren Jiancheng who was drunk after chasing him."

At this moment, the big bosses of the Sui Dynasty all looked at each other in blank dismay. One must know that Qi Chen's reputation is not bad, and he has the nickname of being unselfish. He and a deputy Qianhu of Ying Yangwei are jealous of a woman. Is this possible?

Just when Yang Su was about to go out to defend his nominal subordinate, the little servant hadn't finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, there is another way of saying that Ren Jiancheng is grateful for His Royal Highness Jin's kindness in the early years, so he was very annoyed by Qi Chen's impeachment, so he wanted to stand up for Jin after being drunk..."

Damn it!

Yang Jian's eyes widened, thinking that he had never seen such a big storm from the time he succeeded as the Duke of the Sui Dynasty until he became the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but why is this so outrageous today?

Those big bosses were no better than Yang Jian, everyone was in a dazed state, as if what the little servant said was some kind of Arabian Nights, they couldn't react.

"Absurd! Absurd! Absurd!"

Yang Jian kept repeating this word, as if he couldn't think of any other words to describe this matter.

"Who can tell me what's going on?!"

This question, Yang Jian didn't ask a person by name, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Mi, like a fierce tiger that chooses to eat people.

Cold sweat rolled down Xu Yu's head. He didn't know where the rumors came from. He only knew that if he didn't cope well, let alone Ren Jiancheng, he might not be able to pass the test himself.
