After Wu Yu said this, Zhan Yang frowned a little helplessly, "Since you are jealous of the beauty, it won't kill you. I think what you wrote on it is still a respectable family."
Wu Yu smiled wryly, "The main reason is that the disappearance of the elder brother is very strange, and I will naturally tell Zhan Butou everything I can think of."
Zhan Yang put away the list, "Okay, don't worry, Third Young Master, we will go after all these people."
Wu Yu nodded, and glanced at the back of Yizhuang, "I heard that someone died in the south of the city last night?"
Zhan Yang nodded, "Yes, the case of the fourth son is not over yet, and now the fifth person has died."
Wu Yu sighed, "This murderer is really insane, and I don't know why he killed him like this, so I want to arrest the head. Although my elder brother's case has been reported to the police, let's investigate this case first, so as not to delay and die again. people."
Zhan Yang raised his lips, "Thank you, Third Young Master, for your understanding—"
This is Yizhuang, and Wu Yu didn't want to stay longer, so he left after saying a few more words. As soon as Wu Yu left, Qin Wan said, "The third son has been a little busy these days—"
Zhan Yang nodded, "Yeah, his elder brother's case is really hard to investigate."
It has been four years since Wu Yu came to report the case at this time, isn't it a problem for the Yamen? !
Thinking of this, Qin Wan frowned slightly, "Is Wu Yu's mother seriously ill?"
Zhan Yang nodded, "Yes, he is very sick and can't get out of bed anymore."
"Did you get sick before the Fourth Young Master's accident?"
"Yes, I was ill a year ago. After what happened to the Fourth Young Master, I'm afraid I'm even dying."
Qin Wan didn't know if she was a bit of a soldier. At this moment, she thought of what Zhang Daoshi said before. He said that setting up this dojo can make people who should die alive. Could it be...
However, this case is the same murderer as the case six years ago. What was Wu Yu doing six years ago
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Zhan Butou, do you know what the third son Wu was doing six years ago?"
Zhan Yang was shocked when he heard this, "Princess, you mean..."
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "It's nothing, I just thought of it suddenly, now I can only make some guesses without evidence."
Zhan Yang rolled his eyes, "If I remember correctly, the third son was indeed not in the capital six years ago."
Qin Wan was just questioning casually, but was surprised by what Zhan Yang said, and hurriedly said, "Then where is he?"
"I heard that I went out for a study tour. I don't know the details. Now that I've mentioned this, I'll go to the Weiyuanbo Mansion right now. I'll say it's to investigate the matter of the eldest son. Ask carefully..."
Qin Wan nodded, and Zhan Yang led the people outside immediately, and when Zhan Yang left, Qin Wan remembered that he had just agreed to go to the mill to see, thinking of this, Qin Wan couldn't help but smile wryly , I had no choice but to wait until tomorrow to go to the south of the city.
When Qin Wan left Yizhuang, he was always thinking about what Zhan Yang said, why it happened to be such a coincidence, if Wu Yu was really not in the capital six years ago, then he was indeed a suspect, but he, Zhao Jiaxu, and Hu Dequan still had What does it have to do with Wang Shouchang? How did he learn about the crimes of these people
Qin Wan returned to the Hou's Mansion. In the past two days, the Hou's Mansion has been decorated with red and new inside and out, and five days later it will be Qin Shuang's wedding day. When Qin Wan arrived at the main courtyard, the Hu family was pulling Qin Shuang looked at the dowry prepared for her. The dowry was carried one by one in the side rooms of the main courtyard. The cages were all tied with bright red silk flowers. Qin Shuang's face was slightly red, and Hu said again, "Here You chose two girls to be your dowry girls, the other two wives, two stewards, and four servants, all for you, and there are two shops outside, two Zhuangzi, That’s how the dowry is thick.”
How much Qin Shuang's own things can have, now the house is full, all prepared by the Hou's mansion, not counting these, there are two villages and two shops, so Qin Shuang suddenly became a little rich woman.
Seeing Qin Wan come back, Qin Shuang pulled Qin Wan to praise Hu's preparations. Hu was also very happy to hear it. After watching the dowry, he went to see the maid for Qin Shuang. I am grateful to Mr. Hu from the bottom of my heart.
Although these are not 10% of what the Hu family prepared for Qin Chaoyu, they are already very satisfying to her. After reading these, Qin Shuang dragged Qin Wan back to her yard to talk. These days, Qin Wan spends a lot of time out of the house. The time we spent together was getting less and less, Qin Shuang pulled Qin Wan and talked for a long time, and the two broke up when it was late.
In the early morning of the second day, Zhan Yang sent a messenger from the Yamen to send the news.
Bai Ying came in from the outside holding the letter, "Miss, the Yacha said that the identity of the deceased has not been found out, but there is another thing you want to know in this letter..."
Qin Wan took the letter to read, and just glanced at it twice before frowning.
According to Zhan Yang's letter, Wu Yu studied abroad six years ago, as far as the southwestern border town. When the case happened six years ago, Wu Yu said that someone else was in Luozhou. It has been so long, Wu Yu was alone at the time, and no one has confirmed it for him, but he mentioned two inns, but it has been so long, does the innkeeper remember clearly
Qin Wan became more and more suspicious of Wu Yu—
Seeing Qin Wan's pensive face, Bai Ying said, "Miss, do you want to go to the yamen?"
Qin Wan shook her head, turned her eyes, and saw the anthology written by Shen Yi that Yue Qing had found, she picked up the two booklets, put them in her palm, and said after a while, "Not going to the yamen, let's go to the Wang Family Bookstore in the south of the city. "
Bai Ying was slightly surprised, she didn't know where Wang's Bookstore was, after following Qin Wan out of the mansion, the carriage headed all the way to the south of the city, and when they got there, Bai Ying found that Wang's Bookstore was just a small alley. In addition to painting books, there are also some old books in the picture book shop. There are many classics and history collections in it, and there are also some calligraphy, painting, pens and inks. Mostly only the nearby people and poor scholars will come here to buy books and ink.
The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man in common clothes. He is very thin, but he has the temperament of a literati. Seeing a new customer coming, dressed in extraordinary clothes and accompanied by a servant, the man stood up and said with a smile, "What do you want to buy, Miss?" ?”
Qin Wan flipped through the old books on the shelf, and then took out Shen Yi's collection, "May I ask the boss, who sold this booklet to the boss? Or, where did the boss collect it?"
The bookstore owner's eyes lit up slightly when he saw this booklet, and he said with a smile, "This booklet was sold to me by someone else. , Said that he wanted to find this thing, but it is a pity that the young master bought the book and left, and I don’t know the identity of the young master, so that’s all, why, why did the young lady find the book seller?"
The young master the boss mentioned was of course Yue Qing. Yue Qing knew that she liked medical books, so he thought of ways to search for her. The second young master of the majestic Anyang Marquis also came to buy books in this small box. Qin Wan sighed, "The boss said I like this booklet very much, so I would like to ask the book seller if he still has this kind of book there. If so, I want to buy all the others... "
Seeing Qin Wan's tall appearance and extraordinary demeanor, the boss knew that Qin Wan's identity was unusual, but he smiled regretfully, "Normally, many people around here come here to sell used books, and there are no one who sells this booklet. I recognize it, I just feel like I live near here, sorry, I can't help you."
Qin Wan was a little disappointed, "That person sold this booklet, why did he want to get it back?"
The boss hurriedly said, "When he came back later, he said that he sold it by mistake, and this brochure was mixed in, saying that it should not be sold, and he only found out after returning home." The boss smiled wryly, "He He brought a lot of useless books that day, and he didn't read them carefully, so they were sold out—"
Qin Wan sighed when she heard the words, it seemed that it was a coincidence that she came here.
Qin Wan was disappointed, when suddenly, the owner of the bookstore glanced behind Qin Wan and shouted, "Hey, brother, this lady bought your booklet, and now she is coming back to look for you..."
Qin Wan suddenly turned around, and saw a tall middle-aged man standing at the entrance of an alley not far away. He probably wanted to walk in, but seeing Qin Wan's carriage and attendants were all here, he stopped. .
When the owner of the bookstore called out, he should have come to ask Qin Wan for this booklet, but when Qin Wan turned around, the man ran away immediately, Qin Wan frowned, "Bai Ying, chase—"
Bai Ying immediately stepped forward, Qin Wan said hello to the boss and got into the carriage. The guards driving the carriage were from the Hou Mansion and had been following Qin Guan for many days. Seeing this, they immediately drove in the direction where the man was fleeing.
In the carriage, Qin Wan frowned more and more tightly—
The booklet in his hand was not copied by others, but the original manuscript, which my father always took with him, sometimes writing it at home, and sometimes taking it to the yamen to write it. When something happened that night, the whole family left in a hurry. Naturally, no one brought the booklet, but now, the booklet appeared outside, and the person just now seemed very strange to Qin Wan at first glance, but when she thought about his facial features, she always felt that she had seen that person somewhere before. people!
Who is he? ! Was it the imperial army who chased and killed them that night, or the people from Dali Temple
Qin Wan's heart clenched tightly, and the carriage also galloped at an extremely fast speed. The fleeing man was obviously very familiar with the surrounding terrain. The roads he walked were all small alleys, and the folk squares in the south of the city were already very messy. , making Qin Wan's carriage slower and slower, but that person never expected that a servant girl's martial arts could be so neat.
Not long after walking around in the alley, Qin Wan's carriage stopped. Outside the carriage was a dead end, and Bai Ying was confronting the man. There was a footprint on the man's chest, which was obviously kicked by Bai Ying. of-
"What are you doing?! I have already left Dali Temple! That incident has nothing to do with me!"
Seeing Qin Wan's carriage arrived, the man didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, but clenched his fists and looked at them warily.
Qin Wan lifted the curtain and came out, her gaze fell deeply on the man. Now that they were closer, Qin Wan could see his eyebrows and eyes more clearly. As a result, Qin Wan felt more and more familiar with this man.
He has already left Dali Temple, and that incident has nothing to do with him...
Who is this person? !
Qin Wan stared at the man closely. All the officials in the Dali Temple were dressed in official uniforms. They were not only in high spirits, but at least they were neatly dressed. But now, although the man is really upright, his face is very unshaven. , Qin Wanzai looked at it carefully, and at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly lit up!
She remembered! This person was a subordinate official who followed her father at Dali Temple before. She followed her father to Dali Temple several times, and she had seen this person at least twice. It's just that this person used to be tall and straight, but now he looks decadent. There was a sense of frustration all over his body, and Qin Wan didn't think of it immediately.
Qin Wan looked this man up and down, and found that his clothes were a bit old, and the toes of his shoes were worn out.
Since he is an official of Dali Temple, why is he in such a field now
"Why are you so nervous? Why did you run just now?"
Qin Wan got down from the carriage with a serious expression on his face.
The man raised his jaw and saw the brochure in Qin Wan's hand, "You bought this brochure right away, why did you come back to me? Don't you want to expose me? Who are you?!"
Qin Wan smiled slightly, "You don't need to know who I am, I came back to find you, just want to know if there is any follow-up to this booklet..."
The man's complexion suddenly changed, and he continued to look Qin Wan up and down. There were dozens of cases, large and small, in this booklet, and there were a lot of things to say, and after that, it was the case of King Jin. You can tell by looking at her identity that she is extraordinary. What is she looking for in the following content? !
The man looked at Qin Wan warily and kept silent.
Qin Wan sighed, "I know that this booklet was written by Mr. Shen before his death, and it is now taboo. These people are just my servants. If I want to hold you accountable for this matter, then I should bring the people from the government with me. Come."
Seeing that the man was still silent, Qin Wan said again, "I am Princess Yongci."
After these words were settled, the man's face changed. It was obvious that he knew the name of Princess Yongci.
Qin Wan took advantage of the situation and said, "You should have heard of me. I've been helping the Yamen solve the case for a while, but this case is too mysterious, and I haven't been able to help, so I just want to read the picture book of Shuowen's solution to the case." , but I didn’t want to buy Master Shen’s writings by mistake, the matter of Master Shen is over, you don’t have to be so mediocre, my purpose is very simple, and I have no malice towards you.”
After listening to Qin Wan's explanation, the man's tense back relaxed slightly.
After the royal siege, the name of Princess Yongci was even more popular than the three characters of Little Doctor Immortal, because no one in the entire capital believed that a little girl could help the government solve the case of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but gradually, Qin Wan assisted in the autopsy Qin Wan's deeds became wider and more real, and most of the people also recognized Qin Wan's achievements, and he was one of them.
As an old man of Dali Temple, he is naturally more keen on solving homicide cases. He has long been curious about how a little girl can do an autopsy to solve the case, but he didn't expect this little girl to find him now.
The case of Shen Yi is the case of King Jin. There were not a few people involved at the beginning, and he was one of them. From the official of Dali Temple that everyone respected to the current downfall, the case of King Jin is the crux of the problem. Therefore, this booklet After being sold by him by mistake, he has been very uneasy all the time, but Qin Wan's reason convinced him that he is very clear about the frequent deaths in the capital recently, pursing his lips, the man said, "There is no gone."
There was less guard in his tone, but when he spoke, he subconsciously lowered his eyes and dared not look at Qin Wan.
Qin Wan immediately concluded that he was lying!
"What's your name? You used to be on duty at Dali Temple? Since you were on duty at Dali Temple, why are you now an ordinary person?"
Qin Wan asked kindly, and the man glanced at Qin Wan again, "I have been away from Dali Temple for many days, since the princess has no malicious intentions, let the villain go..."
The man wanted to leave after speaking, but Bai Ying still stopped him, so the man looked at Qin Wan again.
Qin Wan smiled slightly, "I can find out if you don't tell me, it's better if you tell me."
The man gritted his teeth, looked at the thin smile on Qin Wan's face, and finally said with lowered eyes, "The villain's name is Zhao Xun. After an accident a year ago, the villain was dismissed from Dali Temple as a follower of Lord Shen. .”
King Jin's case can be said to have washed the capital with blood. As a small follower, Zhao Xun was lucky to be dismissed.
Qin Wan looked at Zhao Xun, and after a while, took out a sachet full of silver from his sleeve.
When Zhao Xun saw Qin Wan's behavior, he straightened his neck and said, "What does the princess mean?!"
Qin Wan smiled, and shook the brochure in his hand again, "These brochures are very precious, Master Shen's authentic works are even more treasures, and they can't be bought for a few pennies. This is the price I offered, and I don't care about this brochure." Maybe for you."
After speaking, Qin Wan raised his hand and threw the sachet over. Zhao Xun subconsciously caught it, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. When he was about to return it to Qin Wan, Qin Wan turned around and got on the carriage again, "Master Shen is The senior I admire very much, since you are his attendant, I think he must have trusted you very much during his lifetime, so live a good life in the future."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, Bai Ying also got into the carriage, and the servants of the Hou Mansion turned their horses around, and the carriage quickly disappeared into the alley.
In the carriage, Qin Wan whispered, "Get down at the intersection ahead, follow Zhao Xun, and see where he lives."
