Chapter 256

They can't arrest people without evidence.

So Wei Zhi asked her, "what Bai Qi took away..."

That's the only evidence that is possible to identify all the people involved in the case. If they can't get it, they will have to re investigate. They don't know how much human and material resources are spent, and the final results are uncertain.

Hearing what he said, Liu planned to collapse his shoulders.

She had expected this and was really determined by Wei Zhi. She couldn't help being disappointed.

After a pause, she said, "one of the long followers who ran away with Qi'er 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 and need a witness, I'll hand him over."

"What about that thing?"

That's the most important thing.

Liu Shi shook his head and said, "I've been looking for it for so many years."

This time she didn't shy away and told him everything about that year, including the relationship between man Bao and Zhou Yin's husband and wife. She said: "I tried and asked Da Ji to search the Zhou family quietly. There was nothing we were looking for. Zhou Yin and his wife died on the road before they could get home, and the things were gone."

Wei Zhi was surprised. Unexpectedly, the little girl had something to do with it.

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

Of course, Liu also knows that this distant grievance makes her feel powerless. It has been six years. Can she really make her son's grievance clear in her lifetime?

Liu sat down in his chair and asked, "Sir, how many people died when Qianwei weir burst?"

Wei Zhi clenched his teeth and remembered the human purgatory he saw when he first arrived in Yizhou.

In this flood, he ordered the statistics of the death toll of more than 48000 people, of which some were directly washed away or drowned by the flood, but a considerable part died in subsequent hunger, conflict and disease.

But in the final analysis, it is because Qianwei weir burst.

If Bai Qi had survived the Qianwei weir incident six years ago, this would not have happened today.

This case is not only the death of Bai Qi, Zhou Yin, his wife and their entourage, but also today's more than 48000 people.

And the people 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 be fair to everyone."

Liu's eyes were red. He got up and saluted him and said, "Your Excellency is upright. I believe it. However, I also know that there is a difference between what can be done and what can not be done. I've been waiting for six years. I don't mind waiting another six years, another six years, because I'm at this age. I have no other pursuit except to enjoy my grandchildren. I can wait. "

Wei Zhi understood her voice and asked, "old lady, please don't hesitate to speak."

Liu said: "in order to check the identity of Zhou Yin and his wife, they deliberately polluted 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 carry this stigma after their death. Besides, man Bao's child can't never recognize her biological father and mother. She's six years old. I can wait. She can't wait. I'm afraid the Zhou family can't wait either."

Wei Zhi thought.

How important is a person's affairs and name behind him?

Even if Wei knew he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he also valued these two, especially the names behind him.

Who doesn't want to be immortal after death, and who wants to bear a curse after death, not even the most basic sacrifice?

He paced back and forth in the hall. After a long time, he asked, "who knows about Zhou Yin and his wife?"

"Only Li Zhi and you and me," Liu said. "As for the three, I'm afraid I have guessed some, but they are in our hands now."

So no one knows outside, including the Zhou family.

"The one named Daji..."

Liu immediately said, "he is credible."

After a pause, Liu said, "they are the servants of my Bai family, and Erji is his brother, so don't worry."

Wei Zhi understood, nodded and said, "it's a lot of good luck. Don't worry, I'll arrange it, but you have to wait patiently."

"Yes," Liu thanked, "I thanked Lord Wei for the Zhou family, man Bao and Qi'er first."

"Don't be so quick," Wei Zhi picked her up and sighed, "Zhou Yin and his wife are just so righteous. Wei is just doing his best. He can't even avenge them."

Liu's mouth opened, but he didn't ask.

In fact, she doesn't understand. Even if she is smart, she doesn't understand. Qianwei weir has burst and the dam is there. That's naked evidence. Why can't they be convicted?

It was the fief of the king of Yizhou. If you want to say that the king of Yizhou and the Jiedu envoy of Jiannan road didn't know, she didn't believe it.

Even a woman knows the truth. Why can't the imperial court deal with them?

The imperial court really can't deal with them.

At present, even the governor of Yizhou has been recalled to the capital for questioning on the charge of dereliction of duty.

Yes, it's recall, not take it back. He can take his entourage to the capital slowly, as long as he arrives in the capital to answer questions within the deadline given by the Ministry of officials.

Because at present, except for everyone's speculation, no one can say that Qianwei weir is cutting corners, so that the dam burst.

Because when Wei Zhi arrived, the whole Qianwei weir was artificially damaged, and the remaining engineering traces were picked up. I don't know where it went with the flood.

Although the reply given by the governor of Yizhou was rogue, they really had no choice.

He said that Qianwei weir was picked up by angry victims. Can he say that it was not?

When he arrived at Yizhou, those people had long disappeared, and the most important thing at that time was to provide relief to the victims, to save people, not to find the people who picked up Qianwei weir.

Even now, Wei Zhi has the time to find out the truth. It is also because most of the victims have been resettled, and the appeasement policies formulated by him have been put in place one after another under the operation of local officials. He has time to do this. Otherwise, he must hand it over to the people below or the Ministry of punishment.

He has always been able to distinguish between primary and secondary.

Wei Zhi knew her cards from Liu and was ready to return to Beijing.

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

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

The emperor could understand that something was slow on the road, so he waited patiently for another day. As a result, Wei Zhi didn't return to Beijing until sunset the next day.

Now the emperor couldn't sit still.

Of course, he was not angry at Wei Zhi's slow work. He was worried that Wei Zhi offended too many people this time. Those people directly ended him on the road.
