What is Peiping Province? The Gyeonggi Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty directly governed the city of Beijing and several surrounding counties, and it can be said that it was a confidential place in the city of Beijing, and it had a pivotal position like the original Kaifeng Mansion.

Since the Great Song Dynasty moved the capital, almost all the heavy officials have moved to the imperial city, which is in accordance with the old system, as early as the time of the city of Tokyo, the confidential place of the imperial court is still in the imperial city, it is really because the scale of the imperial city is smaller than the previous dynasties, so many of the government offices are helpless to be set up outside the imperial city.

Yushitai, Xishangshu Province, Taichang Temple, Zuozangku, etc. were all relocated to the imperial city of Beijing, and only the Beiping Mansion and Guozijian were left outside the imperial city.

Obviously, outside the imperial city in Beiping Mansion, only this Beiping Mansion is the top priority.

Although it is the right to know Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Li still said politely: "Han Governor's Mansion, this Beijing city is still a place where your Beiping Mansion is still harmful, and the thieves must have a plan to choose this place!" ”

Han Qi nodded and said: "If you want to say that handling the case is the best thing in this government, you have ordered the officials to return to their duties, and the official family has ordered the forbidden army not to move without permission, so it should be perfect!" Although this province is the key point of Gyeonggi, the hidden in it is only a crime file, which is not worth the thief's expense to go through such an experience. ”

After a slight pause, Han Qi looked at Zhao Li and said in surprise: "So the official family also thinks that this is a strategy for thieves to attack the west?" ”

"Of course! This Beiping Mansion is only a few dozen steps away from the hidden fire shop, water dragons, water wheels, and water drawers are used, this fire has not been extinguished for a long time, if there is no fire oil and other things, how is it possible? ! ”

"Hmmm! Handling cases is the responsibility of the government, and there are several criminal officials in the government, who have already entered the government to search, and if there is any news, it will be reported later. ”

"Then it's easy to do, so and so send someone to open the inner courtyard wall of the mansion, so that the fire will not spread, and it is only the left chamber of the front yard that is on fire."

"It has been ordered to open the courtyard wall, and what is placed in the left chamber office is just some repair records, logistics, warehouse kitchens and other miscellaneous rooms, even if it is burned, it will not hinder, not to mention that the government has already copied the records of the house and reported them to the collection of the Chongwen Academy, even if it is burned and then ask for a copy, make up the relevant ones."

"Let this fire burn?"

"It's nature! The latent fire shop has been in for a long time, and it has not been extinguished, this is the evil thing done by fire oil and other things, and there is no other way but to burn it down............"

While the two were talking, the head of the criminal team came out of the palace, and it looked like he had entered the left chamber, and his eyebrows and eyes were blackened.

The head of the squad hugged his fist at Han Qi and said: "Master Qiqi, the thief set the fire from the public office copywriting room in the left compartment of the front yard, and Liu Huan, who stayed behind in Cangcao to join the army, was the first to discover the fire and has ordered someone to bring it." ”

No matter when, the first person to find the crime scene is very suspicious, and Han Qi naturally will not waste this excellent opportunity: "Bring people, don't be rude." ”

Zhao Li stood silently, he was not from Beiping Mansion, he just got the order of the official family to come to assist, the only thing to do was to let the thief escape, and the matter of arrest was not what the imperial class was good at.

"Master Mingjian, Liu Xun is wronged!"

Before the person arrived, the voice of aggrieved came, and the middle-aged literati in official uniform came over first, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Han Qi to shout grievances, and the urgency was beyond words.

Zhao Li looked at him the same, although this person was dressed as a literati, but he had no literati style at all, and before he could ask him about the crime, he himself was scared half to death, looking at his appearance, he was probably a greedy person who was afraid of death! How could such a person do the matter of arson to the Beiping Mansion?

Han Qi had the same idea as him, but soon someone came out to testify: "Master Qiqi, the person who set the fire is him Liu Xun!" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to the person who spoke, Han Qi recognized him, and explained to Zhao Li in a low voice: "This person is my Beiping Mansion's martial arts Cao Wang Xian, who is in charge of armaments and equipment. ”

Zhao Li narrowed his eyes: "Oh...... But a martial arts practitioner? ”

Han Qi nodded and said: "I once served in the mighty army, I heard that he was injured in his left leg and retreated, and he was still a captain when he came. ”

Zhao Li nodded slightly: "Since it is a mighty army born, there will be no mistake, if you can be a captain, you must be deaf and clear-sighted!" ”

"Oh? Here's why! ”

Zhao Li said with a smile: "This matter in the army, but the Han Governor does not know, in order to be a captain, you must know the orders, if you can't be deaf and clear, how to give orders to the whole army?" Unless the commander of the army is a fool. ”

Han Qi suddenly realized: "That's really the case, just listen to him." ”

The head of the criminal team brought people, even if they looked at it from a distance, they were capable, and even if their left leg was inconvenient, they were like a wind, and they were like a tiger............ Everyone couldn't help but secretly shout hello!

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Wang Xian nodded and said: "This is natural, although I am not on duty today, but the ordnance transported from the general supervisor yesterday evening has not yet been counted, tonight I found the porter, received the key and went to the warehouse, only half a step away from the left chamber office, during which I saw him Liu Xun enter the warehouse, even when the fire was not seen!" When the government was in a panic, he saw that he was already mixed in the crowd. ”

Han Qi and Zhao Li spoke almost at the same time: "Sure enough?!" ”

Wang Xian didn't squint: "I haven't seen it!" ”

Hmm-everyone once again focused on Liu Huan, obviously this is impossible, since he Liu Huan is in the left chamber office, how did he come alive? This fire and water will not be extinguished, and it must have been made of oil......

Han Qi hurriedly asked Wang Xian, "So what did you still find?!" ”

Wang Xian nodded and said, "Master Mingjian!" The subordinates tapped the armament tonight, only to feel that the smell of fire oil in the warehouse was very strong, but there was no damage to the stored things, and when they were to take it out with a digging spoon, they saw that the lower layer was not fire oil but was replaced with clean water! ”

After Wang Xian finished speaking, he pointed at Liu Xun and said: "Tonight's fire, the water will not be extinguished, and it is not combustible with oil!" How can a certain person who serves in the army not know this? If it weren't for the rescue of the two swordsmen on duty at night, they would have been denounced to you a long time ago! ”

Liu Xun sneered: "Then what did you do earlier, why did you identify me now?" Don't worry about me running away? ”

Zhao Li laughed: "Run? As long as you run away, your sins will be confirmed, and if you have a name, a surname, and a birth, where can you run? Don't know how powerful the Imperial City Division is? ”

Han Qi looked at Liu Xun who was kneeling in front of him, although this person was panicked, his hands were extremely steady, and his body was not trembling at all, this was not normal!

As the governor of Beiping Mansion, Han Qi has seen a lot of thieves, and no one has become so contradictory after being exposed, Han Qi suddenly shouted angrily: "Liu Xun, there are all human and material evidence, how can you deny it?!" ”

This was the last sharp sword to break through Liu Xun's defense, and now he finally fell to the ground with trembling legs, and looked at Han Qi and Zhao Li tremblingly, but soon knocked his head down, obviously confessing his guilt and ambushing him.

But soon Zhao Li felt that something was wrong, and Wang Xian said: "It's not good!" So he stepped forward, but he was a step too late.

Liu Xun's body no longer trembled, and slowly fell to the ground under Wang Xian's push, and his hands buried under his head were full of powder and blood......
