Without evidence, they can't arrest people randomly.

So Wei Zhi asked her, "The things Bai Qi took away back then..."

That is the only evidence that can possibly identify everyone involved in the case. If they cannot get it, they will have to re-investigate, which will consume an unknown amount of manpower and material resources, and the final results may not be certain.

Hearing what he said, Mr. Liu planned to slump his shoulders.

She had expected this, and even though Wei Zhi confirmed it, she couldn't help but be disappointed.

She paused and then said: "One of the Changsui who escaped with Qi'er back then survived. His name is Erji, but I can't give him to you now. If one day you can bring the person behind the scenes to justice,

When a witness is needed, I will hand him over."

"Where's that thing?"

This is what matters most.

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "I have been looking for it for so many years."

This time she did not shy away and told him everything that happened that year, including the relationship between Man Bao and Zhou Yin. She said: "I tried it out and asked Daji to quietly go into Zhou's house to search. There is nothing we are looking for."

Zhou Yin and his wife died on the road before they could get home, and their belongings were also missing."

Wei Zhi was surprised. He didn't expect that the little girl was related to this matter.

But the thing disappeared on the road, and the person holding it was dead. He frowned. This was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Of course Mrs. Liu also knew that this remote injustice made her feel weak. It had been six years. Can she really make her son's injustice clear in her lifetime?

Ms. Liu sat down on her chair and asked with some frustration: "Sir, how many people died this time the Jianwei Weir burst?"

Wei Zhi gritted his teeth and remembered the hell on earth he saw when he first arrived in Yizhou.

In this flood, the death toll he ordered alone was over 48,000. Some of them were directly washed away or drowned by the flood, but a considerable number of them died of hunger, conflict, and disease afterwards.

among.

But in the final analysis, it was still because of the breach of the Jianwei Weir.

If Bai Qi could have survived the Jianweiyan incident six years ago, things like this would not have happened today.

This case not only killed Bai Qi, Zhou Yin and his wife, and those who followed them, but also more than 48,000 people today.

There are also people who he didn't count and didn't know where they died.

Wei Zhi took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Don't worry, old lady, Wei will do his best to give everyone justice."

Mrs. Liu's eyes turned red, she stood up and bowed to him, saying: "I believe in your integrity, but I also know that there is a difference between things that can be done and things that cannot be done. I have been waiting for six years, so I don't mind.

Wait for another six years, and another six years, because I have reached this age and have no other pursuits except having grandchildren, so I can wait."

Wei Zhi understood her words and asked, "Old madam, if you have any request, just ask."

Liu said: "In order to find out the identity of Zhou Yin and his wife, they deliberately smeared Zhou Yin and his wife as bandits, so that Zhou Man could not recognize his biological parents, and the Zhou family had always hidden the news that Zhou Yin was dead."

She said: "Zhou Yin and his wife died because of my son. I can't let them bear this stigma after their death. Besides, the child Manbao can't deny his biological father and mother forever. She is six years old this year. I can wait, she can wait."

No, I’m afraid the Zhou family can’t wait.”

Wei Zhi began to think deeply.

How important is a person's posthumous story and posthumous name?

Even though Wei Zhi didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he still valued these two things, especially his posthumous name.

Who doesn’t want to be famous forever after death, and who wants to be stigmatized after death without even the most basic sacrifice?

He paced back and forth in the hall, and after a long time asked: "Who knows about Zhou Yin and his wife?"

"There are only two people, Li Zhi and you and me," Liu said, "As for those three people, I'm afraid I have some guesses, but they are in our hands now."

So no one outside knows, not even the Zhou family themselves.

"The one named Daji..."

Mrs. Liu immediately said: "He is trustworthy."

Mrs. Liu paused and said: "Their family is the servant of my Bai family. Erji

He is also his biological brother, so you can rest assured."

Wei Zhi understood, nodded and said: "It will work much easier this way. Don't worry, I will arrange it, but you have to wait patiently."

"Yes," Mr. Liu thanked him, "I will first thank Mr. Wei for the Zhou family, for Man Bao, and for Qi'er."

"Don't be like this," Wei Zhi helped her up and sighed: "Zhou Yin and his wife are so righteous that Wei, who is doing his best, can't even redress their grievances."

Mrs. Liu opened her mouth, but she didn't ask.

In fact, she didn't understand. Even though she was very smart, she still didn't understand. The Jianwei Weir had burst and the dike was there. That was naked evidence. Why couldn't they be convicted?

That was the fiefdom of the King of Yizhou. If the King of Yizhou and the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road didn't know about it, they wouldn't believe it even if they beat her to death.

Even she, a woman, understands the truth, so why can't the court deal with them?

The court really can't deal with them.

Currently, even the governor of Yizhou has been recalled to the capital for questioning on charges of dereliction of duty.

Yes, it was a recall, not a retrieval. He could take his entourage and walk slowly to the capital, as long as he arrived in the capital within the deadline given by the officials to answer questions.

Because at present, except for everyone's speculation, no one can say that Jianweiyan cut corners and caused the dam to burst.

Because when Wei Zhi arrived, the entire Jianwei Weir had been artificially damaged, and the remaining traces of the previous construction had been removed and drifted to unknown directions with the flood.

Although the reply given by the governor of Yizhou was rascal, there was really nothing they could do.

He said that Jianweiyan was demolished by angry victims. Can he say that it was not the case?

When he rushed to Yizhou, those people had already disappeared. Moreover, the most important thing at that time was to relieve the victims and save people, not to find the people who broke the Jianwei Weir.

Even now, Wei Zhi has the time to find out the truth. It is also because most of the victims of the disaster have been resettled, and the pacification policies he formulated have been put in place under the operation of local officials. Only then does he have time to do this, otherwise

He must have left this matter to someone below, or to the Ministry of Punishment.

He always knows the difference between priorities.

Wei Zhi learned about Liu's trump cards and prepared to return to Beijing.

He delayed his return for four days. Should the saint be anxious now?

At this time, the emperor was really anxious. It was supposed that Wei Zhi should have returned to the capital yesterday, but there was no sign of him on the official road.

The emperor could understand that things were going slow on the road, so he waited patiently for another day. As a result, Wei Zhi did not return to the capital until sunset the next day.

Now the emperor couldn't sit still.
