Alien King

Chapter 73 Bi Ling's Household Deed

With that sharp scream, the whole Xiangyanfang became busy.Ye Tian stood up and wanted to go out to take a look, but was stopped by Ouyang Juechen.

"For a murder case involving more than a dozen lives, you'd better not show up and let Yao's mother handle it." Ouyang Juechen had a sly look on his face.

Seeing Ouyang Juechen's appearance, Ye Tian returned to his seat suspiciously, picked up the tea bowl, and continued to drink.

There was a commotion outside for a while, and suddenly there was a loud shout: "The Criminal Department handles the case, and everyone who has nothing to do with it should go out."

Ye Tian put down the tea bowl and looked at Ouyang Juechen.

Ouyang Juechen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and pressed slightly on the wall, half of the wall was as transparent, and the situation outside could be seen clearly.

Ye Tian stared, stood up, walked to the wall, and looked out.

I saw a team of officials from the Ministry of Punishment stepping up to the second floor and walking into room No. [-] on the second floor. After a while, the officials came out carrying corpses one after another, and carried the corpses to the The aisle in the middle is neatly lined up.

The leader of the people from the Ministry of Punishment, with a black complexion and a shape like Bao Gong, was Liu Jinglei, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment.

At this moment, Liu Jinglei looked at the corpse on the ground with a gloomy expression. When he saw Gao Yong's corpse, his expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Yao Ma who had been waiting cautiously by the side.

"What happened last night? Tell me in detail." Liu Jinglei said.

Yao Ma wiped away her tears and said, "Last night at Sishi, the masters were very drunk and came to Xiangyanfang. As soon as they entered the door, they asked for more than a dozen actors, and they said they wanted to play together. I I didn't dare to be negligent, so I quickly arranged for top-notch actors to greet them. Seeing how many people there were, I specially opened the largest room on the second floor. They made a fuss all night, and as a result, this kind of thing happened early this morning .”

Liu Jinglei frowned: "Did anything happen at night?"

Yao's mother wiped her tears and said: "The masters are very excited to play, and when it gets ugly, there is still a lot of noise and laughter. You know, my place is just for the masters to have fun. When it is Yinshi, we will Hearing that the room became quiet, it must have fallen asleep after being exhausted, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

"Indeed." Yao Ma suddenly remembered something.

"What is it?" Liu Jinglei asked.

"When one of them came, he was carrying a big bag of things, and I heard from Lianhong that it might be a powerful medicine." Yao Ma said.

Liu Jinglei made a look at the coroner next to him. The coroner took out a long needle and walked to each corpse one by one. First, he pierced the neck of the corpse with a long needle, leaving a trace of blood. He took out a glass test tube, put the long blood-stained needle into the colorless liquid in the test tube, and shook it.

Then, the coroner took off all the clothes of a corpse, touched and pressed the surface of the corpse with his hands.

The coroner stood up, came to Liu Jinglei, and said softly: "There is no sign of poisoning, and there is no trauma."

At this moment, another official who was in charge of checking the scene in Room No. [-] on the second floor picked up a handful of gray powder from the tea bowl on the table, put it in his mouth and licked it, and then came to Liu Jinglei Beside him, he leaned into his ear and said, "It's Lie Yanchun."

Liu Jinglei frowned. Such an overbearing aphrodisiac was taken after drinking. These people are not too young. After a night of chaos like this, they must peel off their skin even if they don't die.

According to the laws of the empire, if a homicide case occurs, the scene must be sealed off before the case is concluded.But judging from the current situation, these dozen or so people didn't look like homicide or murder. They just drank too much alcohol and took strong aphrodisiacs. After a night of chaos, they finally died.

Whether to close the case or not, Liu Jinglei hesitated.

At this time, Yao's mother wiped away her tears and said, "What can I do with my business if such a big incident happens. If my shop is closed, how can I support so many poor people?"

While talking, taking advantage of people not paying attention, Yao Ma's hand trembled by Liu Jinglei's sleeve.

Liu Jinglei was slightly taken aback, and there was an extra stack of papers in his hand.

Just based on the thickness and the texture on it, Liu Jinglei can tell that it is at least 1000 taels of silver.

Looking around, Liu Jinglei waved his hand and said, "Take away all the corpses." After speaking, he turned his head again, looked at Yao's mother and said, "If you find anything unusual, go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and tell me immediately. .”

Yao Ma burst into tears and smiled: "That's natural, that's natural." After a pause, Yao Ma said again: "I have dozens of actors under my command, and Master Liu and brothers are welcome to come to the store to play at any time. "

Liu Jinglei's official errands often come to Xiangyanfang to play. Now, looking at Yao's mother, he knows that he may save a lot of money when he comes next time, and he will also put extra effort in carrying the corpse.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the murder scene was cleaned up.Liu Jinglei also took people away.Xiangyanfang regained its calm.

Ouyang Juechen put away the transparent mirror on the wall, turned his head, looked at Ye Tian, ​​shrugged, and said, "Okay, it's over."

Ye Tian stared: "Is it that simple?"

"The Ministry of Punishment talks about the evidence. The coroner and the prosecutor have all seen it. There are Lie Yanchun, there are wine, there are actors, and they are not too young, and there is no poisoning, no trauma, and no trace of homicide. You say, Can't this determine the cause of death?" Ouyang Juechen said.

Ye Tian frowned: "It's a bit hasty to deal with more than a dozen lives."

Now Ouyang Juechen stared: "My lord, I stuffed 1000 taels of silver bills for the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Besides, I specifically asked Mama Yao that at least within half a year, when those young men from the Ministry of Criminal Justice come to Xiangyanfang to play, they can Half price."

Ye Tian smacked his mouth, thinking that the price is not too small.

At this moment, Ye Tian felt that Ouyang Juechen was a talent.At the moment, under his command, although Mei Rou is outstanding in force, she has a simple mind and is not suitable for running a business.Bi Ling even has the mentality of a little daughter. Being a maid and servant may be very considerate, but if she stands by herself, she will never be able to do it, as long as she acts like Meirou's follower all day long.Diane is expected to be a financial officer, but the various affairs of the Royal Household Office have consumed most of her energy, and Ye Tian also plans to hand over the full authority of the Royal Mint to her, and it is impossible to take over other industries.

Now in Ye Tian's hands, there is still a royal carriage house that is unattended.Song Yuzhe had always been in charge of the business of the Royal Carriage and Horse Company before, but Song Yuzhe was old and had limited energy, so it was impossible for him to devote himself to managing it.Therefore, the business of the Royal Chariots and Horses has been deserted. It is basically responsible for the delivery of imperial administrative mail and official documents, and there is almost no business from the private sector.

After Ye Tian took over, although he never seriously inspected the car and horse dealers, in his mind, the monopoly of long-distance transportation is definitely a profitable industry.

The Ouyang Juechen in front of him is the boss behind Xiangyanfang, so his ability to manage the industry is not a problem. Now he has attached himself to Ye Tian. Thinking about whether it is possible to hand over the royal carriage to Ouyang Juechen.

Ouyang Juechen felt a little guilty when Ye Tian looked at him, and asked, "My lord, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Tian came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing."

After a pause, Ye Tian said again: "Last night's affairs were handled well, and then I will entrust you with some important matters."

Ouyang Juechen looked excited: "You can order at any time."

Suddenly, Ye Tian remembered something again, and said: "By the way, where are the household deeds of everyone here? Bring them all to me."

Hearing this, Ouyang Juechen's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that Mrs. Ye would also accept Xiangyanfang. This may be an industry that he has been operating for many years.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Juechen said with a bitter face: "No way, my lord, the household deeds of these actors are my lifeblood. Without them, my Xiangyanfang will not be able to continue to open."

Ye Tian stared: "Aren't you loyal to me? Why didn't you listen to my first order?"

With a bitter face, Ouyang Juechen turned and went out the door.

Looking at Ouyang Juechen's background, Ye Tian thought, no matter what, he had to get Bi Ling's household certificate back today.

Within a quarter of an hour, Ouyang Juechen walked in again carrying a small wooden box.

Putting the box on the table, Ouyang Juechen pretended to be magnanimous and said, "It's all here. If you really want it, sir, just take it."

Seeing Ouyang Juechen's pained face, Ye Tian said contemptuously, "Find it for me, his name is Biling."

Ouyang Juechen was stunned for a while, then smiled, and said: "My lord, if you only need a household deed for one person, it doesn't matter. Oh, I don't know which actor it is, it is worth your trouble."

Ye Tian stared, but didn't speak.

Soon, Ouyang Juechen took out a household deed with Bi Ling's name on it.

Ye Tian took it and looked at it to confirm that it was correct, then carefully folded it up and put it in his arms.

Looking at Ouyang Juechen, Ye Tian pointed to the household deed on his chest, and said, "Do you have any objections?"

Ouyang Juechen quickly shook his head: "No objection."

"That's good." After speaking, Ye Tian walked around Ouyang Juechen and walked towards the door. When he was about to reach the door, Ye Tian suddenly stopped and said: "Actors are all hard-working women. , I hope that with you, I will not hear the tragic stories of being threatened, forced and reduced to fireworks."

After speaking, Ye Tian went out and hurriedly left Xiangyanfang.

Ouyang Juechen deliberately came to the window, leaned out to look at Ye Tian who had already walked out of the gate of Xiangyanfang, with a nice smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "This lord, is it quite interesting?"

Withdrawing his body, Ouyang Juechen closed the window, walked to the door again, put the latch on, exhaled, and took off his white shirt.
