"You two are really..." Chu Suiliang smiled and shook his head.

“What?”

"It's not the same as Meng Meng."

"You are just good at joking." Wu Guan said dissatisfied.

"Please keep your heart in your stomach." Chu Suiliang said: "I see Yan Cun is bold and meticulous, but if you go out for a few days, there will be no problem."

What else Wu Guan wanted to say, but Chu Suiliang was already greeted and couldn't care about him anymore.

"Let's go back and have a drink together. When Yan Cheng comes back, I will welcome him," Chu Suiliang responded to his colleague's greeting and walked away.

He was very reasonable, and Wu Guan knew very well.

But it's just uneasy.

Forget it, he took a few deep breaths, and just as he was adjusting his mood, Li Xiaojie reached out and hooked his neck.

"I'm not telling you, Mo Li, come on, I'll take you to meet a few friends..."

Wu Guan remembered that Li Xiaojie did introduce him to a group of royal descendants. He took good care of him at the banquet and even arranged a seat around him.

Then, Li Xiaojie was forced to drink a few glasses of wine, and he didn't remember anything.

It was Batu's wet and hot tongue that woke him up. Wu Guan rubbed his forehead with one hand and stroked Batu's head with the other.

Yan Cun went out to handle the case this time, took Kaman away, and left Batu at home.

A headache is like being stuffed by someone.

"Hey—the wine in the palace also cheated people." Wu Guan couldn't help but sigh.

"Awaken?" Angu approached.

"Brother An?" Wu Guan sat up, "Why are you here?"

"I'll take a look at it," Angu pointed at Kaman, "I don't know if the two dogs are used to it when they follow you to eat and live."

Wu Guan's eyes were dull, "They were pretty good, they could eat and sleep."

"I think so, they are all fat." Angu brought a bowl of hot soup, "Drink it, sober up."

Wu Guan took it, thanked him, and did not go to drink immediately, but asked, "How did I come back?"

"Of course, the King of Qinghe sent you back. He wanted to take you back to the palace to settle down. You refused to say anything and insisted on coming back. He just wanted to make a fuss and roll around. He had no choice but to send you back. He wanted to leave two servants to take care of you, but I happened to come, so I didn't let him keep anyone."

"Oh," Wu Guan rubbed his nose guiltily, "It's too troublesome to him."

"Who said no?" Angu said: "I will meet again next time, thank you very much."

"Then... I'm not embarrassed in the palace, right? That's the queen's enthronement banquet."

"That's not the case. I heard from the King of Qinghe that although you are not good at drinking, your wine tastes good. You will fall asleep when you get drunk."

"Hey, I didn't even take a good look at the grand banquet." Wu Guan said regretfully.

"Drink the soup first," An Gu reminded him, and said, "Brother Yan is not here, your legs and feet are not very convenient. It is really uneasy to live alone. Why don't you go to my house to stay temporarily."

Wu Guan drank most of the bowl of sobering soup in one breath, and his mouth was filled with the smell of grass. It felt really not very good, but it could finally relieve the dry mouth after being drunk.

"It's okay, my feet are already well. Look, although I walked a little slower, I'm no longer lame anymore." Wu Guan said: "It's just Brother Yan... I always feel something is wrong."

"oh?"

"Brother An, you know him best. Do you think he is that kind of person? That's..." Wu Guan organized a speech and said, "We have captured General Duan Zhixuan this time and made many enemies. At this moment, Brother Yan actually went on a mission alone to avoid the limelight... Do you think he can do such a thing?"

"No..." An Gu shook his head, "This is not like what he did."

"Who said no? Of course, if he really hides out, I can handle the counterattack of the general group, just... Alas, I can't say it well, it feels a bit strange..."

"Then what's the case for him to go on an envoy this time?"

"I've seen the case submitted by the local government," Wu Guan said: "It's indeed a more difficult murder case."

"Speak and listen."

Wu Guan drank all the remaining soup, put the bowl on a low table, and leaned against the cabinet beside the couch.

"It is said that a grocery store owner died, and a neighbor who had always been incompatible with the shopkeeper was arrested. What's bad is that on the night the shopkeeper was killed, a neighbor was drinking with a friend.

He did stay with his friends in the middle of the night, and later he left the table. According to his friends, he claimed that he wanted to go home.

But his wife confirmed that he did not go home that night, but did not come back until morning with his injuries."

"Is there any injury?" Angu asked.

"Well, there are scratches on the face, scratches on the hands, and blows on the forehead."

"Then he must be tortured and interrogated by the government."

"That's right," Wu Guan said: "But according to this person, he was drunk that day and was staggering toward home. He met Jie Daoer. The murderer used a dagger to force him to a side alley, snatched him several strings of copper coins, and punched him. Finally, he fainted. He woke up in that side alley early the next morning, so he disappeared in the middle of the night and returned home with his injuries."

"Is this a credible?" Angu said: "I mean, since there have been any fights, then go to the place where they fight to check, there may be blood, traces of fighting, etc."

"Brother An said it well. The local government is also competent. He immediately took him to the side alley to identify him. According to the person's identification, the robbery and beating occurred in a collapsed and broken house next to the side alley.

The yamen runners found an overwhelmed short tree next to the broken house."

"Down tree?"

"It's the kind of short tree with spikes. The man insisted that his hand was scratched on the short tree. Not only that, he also said that the criminals were not much better, and their face was scratched."

An Gu smacked his lips and signaled Wu Guan to continue speaking, but Wu Guan said: "The case sect only explains this, and what the suspect said doesn't seem to be lies. The case is deadlocked."

"That's all..." An Gu muttered.

"Why did Brother An say this?"

Angu whispered to himself: "It's a bit like that."

"What?"

"Nothing, maybe there are so many coincidences in the world."

"Don't keep it aside." Wu Guan reached out and grabbed An Gu's sleeve, "If you don't explain it clearly, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"It's nothing," Angu said: "It's just that Wannian County has had a similar case."

"similar?"

"It's exactly the same - at least the first half is exactly the same."

"Oh? What kind of case is that?"

Wu Guan did not let go, and An Gu said, "A murder case has caused a scandal of traitors...

The situation is similar to what you said. One person died at home. The suspect who had a holiday with the deceased drank in the middle of the night and was robbed on the way home. The next day his wife testified to prove that he had not returned all night.

Later it was found that his wife had committed adultery. The adulterer knew that the suspect was drinking that night and wanted to kill him, but when he started, he became timid and beat him up and robbed him of some money.

Later, the adulterer was arrested and the wronged husband was released. In the initial murder case, the murderer was the other person.

You said it was a coincidence that these two cases were very similar in the first half of the time?"

"It's very similar... it's very similar..." Wu Guan murmured for a few words and stood up, "I'm going to visit Dali Temple."

"If you have something to do, go tomorrow, the yamen has been disbanded."

"I have to ask clearly."

"Then...I'll go with you?"

"If An wants to help, why not hire me a carriage."

"Where are you going?"

"Hungjincheng."

"You are going to find Yan Cun?"

"Maybe I will go. If I want to go, I want to go out of the city today."

"Can you do it alone? I'll walk with you."

"No need." Afraid of being too stiff to refuse directly, Wu Guan hurriedly added: "The housing prices in E County will fluctuate recently. I am afraid that the lotus is not experienced enough. Brother An needs to stay and help him purchase real estate."

"But... you left Duan Zhixuan in prison and left like that. If the emperor asks..."

"The Emperor has spoken today and asked Duan Zhixuan to be released and only demoted his military position." Wu Guan had already taken Batu out, "Brother An, don't worry, I am such a big man, it's okay."

Shangjin City.

The carriage carried Wu Guan to the county government gate.

Wu Guan paid the money, and the coachman seemed to be afraid of the majesty of the yamen, hurriedly drove the car and trotted away.

Without waiting for the yamen guarding the gate to stop him, Wu Guan took the lead in handing over a document.

"I'm from Dali Temple, my surname is Wu, Lao, come in and report it."

The tiger skin in the capital yamen was indeed easy to use. The yamen runners immediately smiled. One of them took the document and went in to report it in three steps, while the other led Wu Guan to the yamen.

"I'll sit in the side room first."
