Shi Shi smiled and said: "Usually, we would not use the private room booked by a distinguished guest for a long time in Deyue Tower, but that day was special, Mr. He clearly said the day before that he would not come to eat on that day, and Li The eldest son had to use the private room, and finally the shopkeeper gave the private room of Mr. He to Mr. Li after weighing it. I never thought that Mr. He would suddenly bring friends to dinner, and something would happen."
Shen Zhiyan speculated: "Young Master He is very angry."
Shi Shi replied: "It's human nature for Mr. He to get angry. Mr. Li has already used the private room. The shopkeeper has said all he can to arrange another private room for Mr. He. But Mr. He refuses and insists on the original one. That private room. In the middle of Mr. Li’s banquet, it’s not convenient to move to another private room. Besides, Mr. Li didn’t want to move to another private room. At that time, he was drunk and reeked of alcohol. , Brothers and friends all watched, and felt ashamed, so they quarreled loudly with Mr. He, and then they started fighting."
Murong Ci asked: "Is there no one to persuade the fight?"
"Yes, the brothers and friends of Mr. Li and Mr. He all stepped forward to persuade the fight, and the shopkeeper and the younger one also tried to persuade them, but both of them were angry, so how could it be so easy to persuade them?"
"How long have you been beating them?" Shen Zhiyan asked again.
"After beating for a long time, the door of the private room was smashed." Shitou continued, "Seeing that they were fighting, the shopkeeper felt that something was wrong, so he immediately sent someone to the street to look for the yamen servant, and he persuaded them to leave when the yamen servant came. Then They were taken back to Jingzhao Mansion by the yamen servants."
"How did Lord Yin Lu of Jingzhao Mansion resolve the case?" Murong Ci asked.
"I don't know much about this little one, but later I heard that Mr. Lu couldn't figure it out. After all, Mr. He and Mr. Li hit people at the same time. Mr. He and Mr. Li have formed a dispute. , the two families have also become enemies."
"Did they come to Yuelou later?"
"Young Master He comes here often, but Young Master Li has never been here before."
"After this incident, have you heard that these two young masters once again fought each other when they ran into each other on the street?" Murong Ci asked.
"I've never heard of the small one. Probably not." Shitou said.
"Why do you say that?" Shen Zhiyan asked puzzled.
"Mr. He and Mr. Li are having a big quarrel, and many people know about it. If they encounter a fight on the street, it should spread to Deyue Tower." Shitou laughed.
"So, the news about Deyuelou is very well-informed," Murong Ci asked with a smile.
"My lord is right, Deyuelou will know sooner or later what happened in the city." Shitou smiled confidently.
"As far as you know, how are Mr. He and Mr. Li?" Shen Zhiyan asked.
"This" stone has a look of embarrassment on its face.
Murong Ci knew that he didn't dare to comment casually, he was worried about offending Mr. He, so he said: "It's okay for you to say it, we won't say it."
He went all out, and said: "Young Master He was born rich and generous, but he is also difficult to serve. He has a big temper, is tricky and fierce, has no sympathy for poor people like this, and tramples on him wantonly. It happened not long ago One thing, a father and daughter came to the imperial capital from other places to beg for a living. They were penniless and were about to die of starvation. The shopkeeper looked at them poorly and asked them to sing in Deyue Tower to earn some money to make ends meet. That night Mr. He wanted this When the father and daughter went to the elegant room to sing, they went, but they didn't expect Mr. He to be uneasy and kind."
She curiously asked: "How can you be uneasy and kind?"
Shitou said: "Young Master He has always been lustful. Seeing that Miss Huang is beautiful and graceful, he sent someone to send her father away and molested Miss Huang in the private room. Miss Huang refused, shouted loudly, and wounded his arm Mr. He didn't give up, he asked her to pay twenty taels of soup for medicine, and if she didn't pay, he would let her enter the mansion to be his housekeeper. How could this old man Huang sell his beautiful daughter to Mr. He just like that? Mr. Huang wanted to take his daughter away, but Mr. He beat Mr. Huang, took Miss Huang away, and locked her up in the mansion if he was willing to let her go."
Murong Ci's anger was on the ground, and he said angrily: "What's the difference between this and Ming's robbing a girl from a good family? Later, Miss Huang was ruined by him."
He sighed, "Miss Huang was brought into the mansion, how could she keep her innocence? She must have been ruined by Mr. He. Poor old man Huang couldn't find his daughter, and was beaten all over. So much money to ask a doctor to buy medicine, and died of illness after half a month."
Shen Zhiyan's expression darkened suddenly, and he asked, "Where's Father Huang's body?"
Shi Shi replied: "The shopkeeper is sorry that there is no one to collect Mr. Huang's body, so he found someone to collect his body and buried it in the suburbs."
Murong Ci was angry and sad, this Mr. He who killed a thousand swords
She asked again: "What about Mr. Li?"
Shitou said: "Young Master Li was born in an official family. Perhaps the Li family has strict education, but I haven't heard that he has any bad habits. Young Master Li doesn't come to Deyuelou very often. Although he has the temper of a young official, he is not bad. Be polite and don't mess around."
Coming out of Deyue Tower, Shen Zhiyan and Murong Ci rode to He's house.
He considered it carefully: "The He family and the Li family have become enemies, so how can Mr. He kill the whole family?"
she frowns
Eyebrow said: "It's hard to say for sure, let's see what Mr. He said first. But Mr. He is robbing a girl from a good family, it's too abominable."
"What does Your Highness want to do?"
"What do you say?"
Looking at His Highness's bright and sly smile, Shen Zhiyan concluded that Mr. He was going to suffer.
The He family is wealthy, and their house is quite luxurious. Knowing that they were officials who came to Dali Temple, the steward nodded and bowed to invite them inside.
Shen Zhiyan said politely: "You don't have to be polite, the housekeeper. I'm here to find the eldest son of your mansion. Is he in the mansion?"
The housekeeper smiled apologetically, "The eldest son is in the mansion, and he hasn't got up yet. The two adults will send someone to wake up the eldest son later."
With that said, he hurried away.
Not long after, a maid brought two cups of tea, and then withdrew.
Murong Ci took a sip of tea and said: "The tea is good, the He family's house is comparable to a prince's mansion. This mansion must be a mountain of gold and silver."
Shen Zhiyan smiled warmly, "What would His Highness want to ask later?"
She raised her eyebrows coldly, "Of course I asked straight to the point."
After waiting for a cup of tea, Mr. He finally arrived.
He Qiaoliang walked in lazily, yawned, cupped his hands and said, "It's the grassroots' fault for keeping the two adults waiting for a long time. Come here and serve some good tea."
Murong Ci looked at him, Mr. He was as thin as a bamboo pole, his complexion was yellow and white, and there were gray and black circles around his eyes, as if he was not awake, obviously drunk. However, his robe is really unflattering, the dark green brocade robe is paired with a jade-inlaid red belt, it is very vulgar, and it hides such a fine material.
The servant girl brought tea, Shen Zhiyan replied, "Young Master He, you are welcome."
"The two adults are officials of Dali Temple. I don't know why they are looking for grassroots people." He Qiaoliang sat down at the chair and yawned again, not caring what others thought of him.
"The Li family was wiped out, you should know about it." Shen Zhiyan really cut to the chase.
"The grassroots naturally know about such a big tragedy." He Qiaoliang's eyes flickered, and he sighed, "It's really pitiful that the whole family of Li's family was destroyed. When God wants you to die, you will not survive that day, it is all determined by God."
"So, the entire family of the Li family has been destroyed, and Mr. He is secretly happy." Murong Ci said with a burst of blood.
"My lord, you can't say that." He waved his hands shrewdly. "The two of you came here because you must know that Caomin has a grudge with that little bastard from the Li family. Although Caomin really wants that little bastard and the Li family to suffer, But it doesn't mean that the whole family of the Li family will be wiped out. The grass people are not that vicious. The grass people still want to accumulate virtue for their descendants, and want the He family's family business to prosper for a long time. The grass people don't even dare to think about such a detrimental thing, let alone will do."
"Your mansion and the Li family have a grudge, and now that the Li family has been wiped out, everyone would think that this matter has something to do with your He family." Listening to him, she felt that he was glib and not sincere.
"The Caomin knows this. Because of this, how can the Caomin kill people to pay for their lives? It's only right and proper. If there are many murderers, the Caomin will pay for the entire He family. No matter how stupid the Caomin is, they will never do such a loss-making business." He Qiaoliang extended Swear to the sky with two fingers, "My lords, Cao Min swears, there is absolutely no one who killed the Li family. Cao Min speaks the truth."
"Dali Temple is investigating the case. It is impossible to rule out your suspicion just because you swear to the sky." Shen Zhiyan said righteously and sternly.
"Oh, my lord Qingtian, Caomin really didn't kill people, Caomin was wronged." He Qiaoliang was a little impatient, "Caomin told you two heart-to-heart words. I just heard that the Li family was wiped out. Caomin really died again." Surprised and delighted, I feel that God has dealt with them, and Caomin even invited friends to Deyuelou to drink and celebrate that day. However, Caomin asked himself not to have the guts to destroy people's families."
"We really want to believe you, but according to the criminal law, you have to go back to Dali Temple with us. After the investigation is clear, if you are innocent, we will naturally let you go." Shen Zhiyan said coldly.
"How can this work?" He Qiaoliang almost jumped up, and suddenly realized that he had overreacted, so he sat down again, "Caomin is not afraid to go to Dali Temple, and I am not afraid to check with you, but if you go to Dali Temple with you, in the future, friends Where can I put this face in front of me, the grass people will not be able to hold their heads up in this lifetime."
"Young Master He, where do you put your face and whether you can raise your head and be a man? We don't care. We just want to solve the murder case as soon as possible." Murong Cisen said coldly.
"No, no, no, grass people really can't go to Dali Temple. How about this, the grass people will cooperate with you, as long as you don't go to Dali Temple."
"I heard that Mr. He took in a new concubine, oh no, he took in a concubine." Her eyes were cold and sharp as a knife, "This maid is surnamed Huang, and she came to the Imperial Capital to sing with her father." I'm living on my own."
He Qiaoliang's complexion changed slightly, his fingers trembled slightly, and he went to hold the teacup, "It's nothing. How could the girl who sings the song be liked by Cao Min?"
A gleam of coldness appeared in Murong Ci's bright eyes, "Many people know how you bullied Father Huang, father and daughter in Deyuelou, how you beat people, and how you snatched Miss Huang into the mansion. He Qiaoliang, you'd better think about it clearly." Then answer."
