But he said that Xing Xiuyan was in a hurry at first, and in a fit of anger, he pulled out all the pearls, and planned to return to the backyard to return Jia Yingchun.
After walking a few steps away, she regained some clarity and sanity in her mind - she thought that if she sent the jewelry back at this time, the second sister would be more 'open-minded' and would have to find out.
That's it!
I'd better wait until I wash up at night, and then find an excuse to return it to the second sister.
After making up her mind, Xing Xiuyan was about to start the road again, when she suddenly heard the sound of two men talking at the corner in front of her.
"Steward Zhao, you keep calling for the younger one to come over, I don't know what orders you have."
Although this mandarin is fluent, it inevitably brings out some foreign accents. With such an accent, Zhao Nan is the only man in the whole house.
And the housekeeper Zhao in his mouth is undoubtedly Zhao Zhongji.
With an expressionless face, Zhao Zhongji pushed a brocade gown into Zhao Nan's arms, and said, "I just got the news this morning, I'm afraid it's too late to go to the ready-made clothing store, these clothes are newly made by me during Chongyang, so you can make do with them first. ."
"This... how does this make it?"
Zhao Nan panicked, and repeatedly pushed and refused, but was still forced into his hands by Zhao Zhongji.
It wasn't over yet, Zhao Zhongji shook out another purse from his sleeve and threw it on the long gown: "There are fifteen taels of silver and the key to the guest room in the West Cross Courtyard."
"Little man... the little man is really... really..."
Zhao Nan became more and more frightened, his waist seemed to be bent by the silver, but in the drooping eyelids, a pair of pupils were rolling around.
"okay."
This is Zhao Zhongji's face finally showing some emotion, he waved his sleeves impatiently, and scolded: "Don't make me stunned for this mile, that's all I did before, now the second master wants to lift you up, and he's still doing this Who do you show your face? Do you want to put eye drops on the second master, or when I, old Zhao, are deaf and blind, and can't ask what you did in Huguang?!"
Zhao Nan's expression of gratitude froze, his facial features twisted and changed, and it took a long time before he forced a smile and said, "The old saying is 'people leave the homeland', when I first came here, I didn't dare to act recklessly. I didn't mean to deceive you."
When others say these four words, Zhao Zhongji may not realize how it is, but thinking about what Zhao Nan has done in Wuxi, he really feels that the word 'township' is a bit annoying.
But he didn't say anything, just sneered, and explained to Zhao Nan: The Sun Liu family is a deadly friendship, and you must not lose the second master's face in front of Liu Gongzi.
Then he walked away with his hands on his back.
That Zhao Nan held the clothes and the silver, and stood there for a while, before laughing at himself and muttering: "That's right, how can I have a hometown to speak of now?"
Having said that, he turned his head and went back to the lower courtyard to change his clothes.
When he was far away, Xing Xiuyan turned out from behind the porch. Thinking of the sentence 'people leave hometown and cheap', she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
There are two flowers, one on each side.
Not to mention that Xing Xiuyan returned to the backyard, how the five tastes were mixed, and re-inserted the beaded head.
However, he said that Sun Shaozong left the main courtyard and originally wanted to go back to his home for breakfast, but he was stopped by the concierge Wang Jin halfway through, saying that it was Qiu Yunfei and others who all rushed over and are now waiting in the front hall.
When Sun Shaozong heard this, he hurriedly ordered a light meal in the front hall, and chatted with Qiu Yunfei while eating.
Everyone rushed over at this point, naturally thinking about the latest progress:
First of all, after the two houses have been dug three feet, there is a three-foot-square piece of land near the back door. It seems that it has been excavated and turned over recently. Although the soil layers have been compacted, there is a little bit of land in the middle. withered leaves.
This basically proved Sun Shaozong's previous speculation: the two mansions were not prepared for murder, but had other uses.
However, he continued to dig down to a depth of more than five feet, but he didn't see anything special.
And if you dig deeper, there are no traces of turning over...
According to the inference of Governor Qi Lianhai, maybe someone buried something in the spring and summer, and then dug it up in the autumn - this also explains why it has been rented for several months, but it was only turned after the autumn. land.
In this regard, Sun Shaozong gave a considerable degree of affirmation, and believed that this was the main reason why the murderer chose these two mansions and set up murder traps.
In addition, the owner of one of the haunted houses has been successfully contacted, but he has no idea about the tenant's information.
On the lease deed kept by the owner, there is only one name: Wang Er.
In general, the things that can be unearthed from this clue are quite limited, but even so, the Jinmen Mansion still has to send someone to contact them.
After Qi Lianhai and Zhao Wuwei finished their reports, Qiu Yunfei said, "I have some eyebrows here, but unfortunately I encountered some resistance and couldn't find out anything further."
But it turned out that he arrived in Daxing County yesterday evening and blocked Wang Qian, who was about to leave the office.
After telling the story of Wei Shougen and Wang Baochang, Wang Qian panicked immediately, and no longer cared about the turbidity.
According to the results of repeated investigations, there were only three people who had private contacts with Wei Shougen after noon, and the most suspicious of them was Yang Hancai, the county official.
"This Yang Hancai is a criminal adjutant in Daxing County. The beggar in the county died and fled. Although Wei Shougen inspected it, it was this Yang Hancai who was ultimately responsible for checking the purchase and sale!"
"Besides, according to the chronological order, the last person Wei Shougen saw during his lifetime was also this Yang Hancai!"
"Based on these two points, I originally wanted to take him for interrogation, but I was stopped by Wang Qian."
"Why is that?"
Hearing this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but wonder: "Since he let you find this place, and then suddenly jumped out to block it, wouldn't it just be suspicious?"
"It's not his fault."
Qiu Yunfei spread his two fat hands left and right, and said helplessly: "Then Yang Hancai's brother-in-law is Yang Anbang, the minister of punishment. If he doesn't come out to stop him, it will be really strange."
"Yang Shilang's younger brother?"
Sun Shaozong couldn't help frowning. He had some friendship with Xu Liang, the left servant of the punishment department, and Yang Anbang, the right servant, was no stranger to him.
This person has served successively as the chief inspector of Zhejiang Province, the deputy inspector of Jiangxi Province, the deputy inspector of Shandong Province, and the inspector of Shandong Province.
About three years ago, Jigong was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment.
This Yang Shilang is an upright person. Since the day he took office, the cases that have been dismissed for retrial at the local level have risen by more than 20%.
And every time it hits the mark, leaving people speechless.
Therefore, the prestige in the Ministry of Punishment is not only overshadowed by Xu Liang, the left servant, but even the Minister of Punishment.
Speaking of which, it seems that there are some similarities in Sun Shaozong's situation in Shuntian Mansion.
However, Yang Shilang didn't have the slightest idea of cherishing heroes. During the autumn inspection in the eleventh year of Guangde, he picked and selected the shortlist reported by the Shuntian Prefecture. of prestige.
As a result, it took more than a month of effort, and nothing wrong was found. Instead, Sun Shaozong received the holy order and left his post to go to Beijing to fight the thieves.
But the two also forged a beam.
Who would have thought that in just two years, the first case that Sun Shaozong went back to Beijing to investigate was found on the head of Yang Anbang's younger brother!
"Second brother!"
Seeing that Sun Shaozong was silent, Qiu Yunfei immediately patted his chest and said, "I didn't have many of my own people at the time, so I couldn't take down that Yang Hancai. I'll bring more troops today..."
"Do not!"
Sun Shaozong raised his hand to stop his words: "Until you find conclusive evidence, don't act rashly for the time being!"
If Sun Shaozong personally came forward in this case, he might as well investigate more radically.
Anyway, there is no relationship between the three judicial divisions, and Xu Liang, the left servant, also has some friendship with him. Even if Yang Anbang fought back angrily, he could not help Sun Shaozong for a while.
But Qiu Yunfei's Department of Punishment and Names is under the dual leadership of the government and the Department of Punishment - originally, there was a layer of Hebei's Department of Penalties, but last year, due to the unreasonable government decree, Shuntian Prefecture was again under the vertical leadership of the imperial court, but nominally under the jurisdiction of Hebei.
Qiu Yunfei was in the government office, and Ge Changcun was not on good terms with the government. This offended Yang Shilang, who was the hottest member of the Punishment Department...
Even if he and his father, Taiwei Qiu, were the backers, he would be constrained everywhere.
After a little deliberation, Sun Shaozong instructed again: "You have returned to the government office today, and try to see if you can report this case to Dali Temple."
It is the right of the prefect and Zhizhong to report the case to Dali Temple.
The old fox in Jia Yucun will definitely not interfere with such things, so he can only operate through Ge Changcun.
Fortunately, that fellow was breaking the jar recently, so long as Qiu Yunfei put in some effort, he might not be able to achieve his goal.
"in addition."
When Qiu Yunfei responded, he added: "Maybe you might check again. Are there any monks and alchemists in Beijing who usually like to keep poisonous insects."
