Liu Yong Pursues the Case 刘墉追案 Episode 38

All the news that Liu Xier heard told Liu Yong and Qiu Mengnan that Liu Yong had Li Yuanzhen's handle in his hand, and that night they brought the medicine box with Qiu Mengnan to find Li Yuanzhen. Li Yuanzhen was neither humble nor overbearing in the face of Liu Yong. He said that during his time in office, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the roads were not found, and the houses were not closed at night. Liu Yong said that these were his achievements. But Liu Yong mentioned the pleadings he received last night. Many people sued Li Yuanzhen for the smuggling of Dengzhou navy master Zhu Run. Hearing this, Li Yuanzhen immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty. Qiu Mengnan told Jin Wan'er that Li Ruoqiao, the oiran in Jinan Prefecture, was a fake, and someone impersonated her with a disguise technique.

Qiu Mengnan went to see Li Ruoqiao who was lying on Li Yuanzhen’s mansion. The maid beside Li Ruoqiao had a knife in her hand and wanted to attack her, but was interrupted. Then Li Yuanzhen came in and Xiao Sakura had to leave. He Zifeng and Qin Lang asked Yin Qing'er if he met with Sakura last night, whether there was anything strange about Sakura. Yin Qing'er remembered that Xiaoying didn't let herself touch her last night, and her strength had become extremely strong. Qiu Mengnan finished Li Ruoqiao's diagnosis, and she reminded Li Yuanzhen to find someone who could take care of Li Ruoqiao with all her heart. Li Yuanzhen could hear from her words that Sakura did not take care of Li Ruoqiao.

There was movement outside, and Liu Yong asked Li Yuanzhen and himself to go out and have a look, only to find that Sakura had fallen in a pool of blood and had become an icy corpse. Tielong was ready to escape, but his way forward and retreat were blocked by Qin Lang and He Zifeng respectively. Knowing that he could not escape, he simply let He Zifeng and Qin Lang tie him up. After Qiu Mengnan’s autopsy, she told Liu Yong that this maid had not been disguised, and that she should not have been killed by the crossbow, because there was a bruise on her neck, which should have been about an hour before the crossbow. Has been killed by others.

Li Yuanzhen cherishes his own reputation very much. In order to save Li Ruoqiao, Li Yuanzhen will not hesitate to break the law with his body, so he will definitely not let the maid Sakura know about this kind of thing. This is where Sakura is suspicious. Liu Yong went to see Tielong. Tielong admired his cleverness and wit, and promised to take them to find the hidden stolen silver. Liu Yong and his party had just left the boundary of Dengzhou. He Zifeng and Qin Lang who were riding in front both found something wrong, and vaguely felt that someone was staring and ambushing them here. Sure enough, dense arrows shot out for a while, and the man in black pretended to save Tielong and lifted him out of the carriage. As soon as he came out, someone shot an arrow at Tielong, and Tielong vomited blood and died on the spot.

Zuotou was ordered to help Liu Yong, and then brought them back to Dengzhou. Liu Yong and Li Yuanzhen proposed to cooperate, and Li Yuanzhen naturally agreed. Liu Xier took twenty thousand taels of silver to deposit at the daily bank, and the shopkeeper was very happy. Li Yuanzhen ordered his servants to sell the jade and entertained all the officials in Dengzhou for dinner. Hearing movement in Li Ruoqiao's room, Li Yuanzhen walked in, but did not expect to be killed by Sakura. Qiu Mengnan diagnosed and treated Liu Yong and found that he was poisoned, but the poison was not enough to be fatal for the time being, but in order to prevent Jin Wan'er and others from worrying, Liu Yong did not let Qiu Mengnan and the others talk about it. He Zifeng hurriedly walked in and said that Li Yuanzhen was dead.

After seeing Li Yuanzhen's body, Liu Yong ordered the crime to be solved quickly and the murderer severely punished. Sitting in the carriage, Liu Yong kept coughing due to the poisoning. Taking a look at the handkerchief, Liu Yong found that he had coughed up blood.
