Qiu Qingzhi countered that the case of the demon cat was determined by Dali Temple, but now it has overturned his own conclusion. Shangguan had no choice but to order several people from Mingjing Hall to suspend their duties and reflect. Li Cake took Chen Shizhong back to Xiaohuan's home. The yard was empty except for scattered hay. Chen Shi was waiting at the door. When Li Cake went out, Chen Shi was gone.
Wang Qi and the brothers analyzed that there are two ways at the moment. Instead of being suspended and punished, it is better to continue to investigate. The brothers unanimously agreed, but there was really no clue where to start. Li Cake only reminded the principle of the unmasking trick. Next Not a single step was signaled.
Li Cake found Chen Shi based on his hearing. Chen Shi was tied up in the yard where the demon cat was shot three years ago. Next to him stood the master Meng Kui who was doing divination by the river. Meng Kui trapped Li Cake with an iron cage and admitted that he had The murder of Yu Hou was planned by himself. Because he was treated unfairly, he vowed to take revenge.
According to Meng Kui, there were rumors of a demon cat case in the capital three years ago. The imperial court ordered the Minister of Rites to solve the case, and Yu Hou was the specific executor. There were no clues at all at the time. Meng Kui's parents ran a theater troupe and raised a tiger. Then he asked Meng Kui's parents to arrange a magic show for the Minister to watch. The reward was three times the usual amount. Meng Kui's parents had no reason not to agree, so they trained the tiger to perform the show.
On the day of the performance, the tiger was pacing on the stage when he was hit by an arrow shot from a distance. Several arrows were fired simultaneously, and he died soon after. Yuhou concluded the case by saying that the tiger was a demon cat. Meng Kui's parents and the troupe members were all killed on the spot. After being shot, Meng Kui ran away from the scene, but was also chased and assassinated. Fortunately, he was not stabbed in the heart and survived.
After that, Meng Kui went to the river to collect family members who were wronged three years ago in the name of divination. Lao Gu was naturally one of them. He lit a hot air balloon in the yard with a tiger on it. Li Cake turned into a cat shape and fled. Qiu Qingzhi led his troops to the iron cage, took an arrow and shot Meng Kui directly. Meng Kui was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. Li Bing stepped forward to help him up. Meng Kui took out a signed document from his arms and gave it to Li Bing for safekeeping. He begged to find out the injustice of his parents three years ago, and then fell into a pool of blood. middle.
Hu Si was responsible for guarding Ming Jing's cousins who were suspended for self-reflection. Several people sneaked out to collect clues, but Hu Si pretended not to see them. The hot air balloon rose higher and higher, Qiu Qingzhi hit the brazier, and the hot air balloon began to descend. Li Bing firmly grasped the rope and threw another one to Chen Shi. At the same time, he handed the evidence to Chen Shi. The two landed safely, where Chen Shi fell. He happened to be caught by Brother Mingjingtang.
Chen Shi took out the evidence and several people hurriedly handed it to Shangguan Jue. Knowing that someone was going to take revenge on Lu Qing near the Zhuque Gate, Chen Shi led a few people to escape from the dungeon and rushed to the Zhuque Gate after receiving the fireworks signal.
Lu Qing thought that the scourge was finally eliminated, and was going to Zhuque Gate to prepare for the sacrifice. Li Bing stopped Lu Qing halfway. Chen Shi took out the tiger raised by Meng Kui and forced Lu Qing to admit the fact that he had wronged Meng Kui's parents in front of the troupe. Lu Qing was hung high in the air by several people from Mingjing Hall. Qiu Qing came to rescue him. He originally wanted to save Lu Qing and take charge of Dali Temple under Lu Qing's control in the future. However, Li Bing told the stakes and Qiu Qingzhi was ready to capture him by force. Li Cake, Shangguanjiu rushed to the scene with the imperial edict, announced that Li Cake would meet the Holy Emperor, and announced Li Cake's identity. Qiu Qingzhi did not dare to use his future as a bargaining chip.
After the truth was revealed, the aggrieved people who were hiding near Zhuque Gate came to Li Cake to thank the emperor. Lao Gu no longer hid. Boss Zhang appeared with Gu Xiaohuan. Lao Gu was very excited. Zhang Xiaohuan asked Li Cake to go aside and give it to his father. A way out.
