Detective in the Red Chamber

At that moment, he pushed the boat along the current and beat him repeatedly, swallowing up the sweetness, but blocked Wang Xifeng's scheming in his throat.

uh~

That last kiss seemed to be...

Thinking that it was mostly exported to domestic sales just now, Sun Shaozong suddenly felt overwhelmed. He hurriedly fetched tooth powder and toothbrush, and tossed and tossed for about a quarter of an hour.

When he washed up and came out of the inner study, he saw Zhao Zhongji outside, looking inward.

"What? Is something wrong?"

"Returning to the second master, Dali Temple sent someone before dawn, saying that you must go back to the yamen in the morning."

Make yourself have to go to the Yamen?

Sun Shaozong frowned, pondered for a while, and then asked: "Did Zhao Nan work in the Yamen yesterday? Send a car to pick him up immediately!"

Zhao Zhongji nodded in agreement, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took out a post from his sleeve and offered it with both hands: "Second Master, the birthday gift for offering wine to Sun has been prepared. Here is the gift list. Would you like Take a look first?"

He was busy investigating the case these two days, and if he didn't mention it, he almost forgot to congratulate Sun Tao on his birthday.

It seems that the prince will be there the day after tomorrow, so we can't take it lightly.

Sun Shaozong took the gift list, and signaled Zhao Zhongji to arrange a carriage, and take Zhao Nan back to the mansion as soon as possible.

After Zhao Zhongji took the order to leave, Sun Shaozong went to the living room in the front yard, ordered people to pass the dishes, and checked whether the gift list was appropriate.

Who would have thought that before the food was served, two people suddenly broke in from outside, one of them was Zhao Nan whom Sun Shaozong sent to pick him up, and the other was Master Qin Kejian.

"how?"

Seeing Qin Kejian, Sun Shaozong immediately got up and asked, "Is something wrong in the yamen?"

Originally, when I went to the Lin Mansion to investigate the case this time, I should have taken Qin Kejian with him. After all, the other party was also an old prisoner, and he might be able to fill in the gaps for himself.

But because of the black post, Sun Shaozong's heart is always tense, and it is still uncertain whether the case of the Lin family is related to the black post.

So after thinking it over and over again, he decided to let Qin Kejian stay behind, so as not to have any strange cases happen and be missed by those scumbags.

So when he saw Qin Kejian approaching his door, Sun Shaozong thought that there was something wrong in the yamen.

"It's not too bad.

Qin Kejian cupped his hands and said solemnly: "I rushed here to remind you that it is best not to go back to the Yamen for the time being, so as not to damage your reputation for nothing."

Lost reputation?

Sun Shaozong was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked what happened, only then did he realize that when he was concentrating on solving the case, there was another big disturbance in the court.

It is said that the first assistant, He Tiren, insisted on a temporary soft policy towards the Houjin Kingdom.

Since it was intended to be gentle, the two envoys of the Kingdom of Jin who were imprisoned in Dali Temple because of fighting and attacking officials, naturally had no choice but to treat them lightly.

No wonder someone sent a message early in the morning, asking him to go to the Yamen in the morning!

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has always adopted a high-pressure policy towards the surrounding alien races. This is the first time that it is gentle, and it will inevitably cause criticism.

He Shoufu must be the target of public criticism right now.

And if I sentenced the two Jurchen criminals lightly, I would most likely lose my reputation...

It's really time for Lin Qicheng to die!

Otherwise, even if you assign others to interrogate where your responsibility lies, you will probably have to bear joint and several liabilities.

But now what...

"Zhao Zhongji!"

Sun Shaozong rushed to the door in a few steps, and raised his voice to order: "Send someone to the Yamen to answer, and say that this official has always admired Lin Zongxian's character. Check it out!"

"As for the trivial matters in the yamen, I would like to ask Mr. Wei to take care of them first!"

Chapter 928 Asymptotic

[The last chapter suggested a slight violation, and another paragraph was deleted—so, it was really not a broken chapter, but a broken tail to survive. 】

He thought that Wei Yi would delay for a while, but he couldn't resist before formally disposing of the two Jurchens.

Unexpectedly, just after noon, Sun Shaozong, who was investigating the case in the Lin Mansion, received a letter from Qin Kejian: The verdict of the two Jurchens has been finalized.

Ah Lin Qitu, who was jealous and fought with others, pleaded guilty with a good attitude and won the unanimous forgiveness of several plaintiffs, so he was given a lighter sentence, only [-] sentences and a fine of [-] taels of silver.

But there is no mention of Alin Qitu ever resisting arrest and injuring an official.

However, Sa Buhua, who drew his sword angrily in front of the gate of Dali Temple, intending to threaten the important officials of the court, was punished with a staff of one hundred and exiled as a slave in front of the Yunnan-Guizhou Army because of the seriousness of the plot and the bad influence.

It has to be said that although Wei Yi has always been a vegetarian in Dali Temple, he still has some talents at the bottom.

This strategy of avoiding the false and focusing on the real, first deliberately weakened the accusation of the Jurchen Deputy Envoy A Lin Qitu, and then severely sentenced the low-status missionary guard.

At least on the bright side, he did not bend the law for personal gain, let alone indulge the Jurchens.

And the Jurchens also knew that the imperial court was intending to adopt a soft policy. At this juncture, it was impossible for them to fall out with Da Zhou because of a mere guard.

So in the future, as long as we carefully control the direction of public opinion and prevent the public from noticing the identities of the two Jurchens and the meaning behind them, this hurdle will be passed.

Speaking of...

Do you want to secretly trip Wei Yi?

Sun Shaozong thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally gave up this tempting idea.

Even if Wei Yi can be overthrown right now, the position of Ting Wei will not fall on his head. If another shrewd and capable man is transferred, then there will be another fierce fight.

Not to mention winning or losing, but it is inevitable to leave an impression of disobedience in the officialdom-Sun Shaozong is determined not to do this kind of thing that is only for a momentary dispute, harming others and not benefiting himself.

Less gossip.

However, since the Jurchen turmoil was temporarily over, Sun Shaozong had no other thoughts and devoted himself to the investigation of Lin Qicheng's case.

Because yesterday's search for the secret path was fruitless, today's superficial investigation direction is to dig deep into the alibi of the man in the Lin family.

It's not that a woman can't pretend to be Lin Qisheng, but the technical content required is too high and the probability is too low, so it's better to check with the men first.

Of course, the investigation of the old servants of the Lin family was also progressing steadily at the same time.

Under the lure of the yellow and white things, by the afternoon of the 21st, most of the old servants of the Lin Mansion inside and outside the city had come to worship.

Most of the remaining few live outside the city, and the news is blocked because they are far away.

However, there are also a few people in the city who have never shown up for various reasons—and these people are the key targets of Tang Weishan's investigation.

"grown ups."

But that evening, Tang Weishan, who had been bumping all day in the car, reported with a tired face: "There are a total of eight old servants in the city who have not returned to the Lin Mansion. There is no news about it, and this matter has never been heard; one of them was taken as a concubine by a wealthy family in the city, so it is inconvenient to go out; the other two have sought errands in other places, and they have long since left the capital."

After he finished speaking, Huang Bin added from the side: "We specially asked a few doctors to go with us to confirm that the two sick people did not lie."

"As for those few who have no news, Mr. Tang has already arranged for people to monitor them day and night."

"Now there are only those two who went to other places to make a living. Because the news was cut off for a while, it is really difficult to track down."

"Not easy to track down?"

When Sun Shaozong heard this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Could it be that these two people have no relatives or friends in the capital?"

Huang Bin shook his head with a wry smile: "One was born as an orphan; the other has a brother and sister-in-law in Beijing, but he took advantage of the power of the Lin family and forcibly seized most of the family property, so he cut off contact with his brother and sister-in-law long ago."

"Then when they were in the Lin Mansion, what were they doing?"

"Coincidentally, these two are also the servants of President Lin."

The servant next to Lin Qicheng?

"When did you all leave Beijing?"

"One was ten days ago, and the other was seven days ago."

According to the autopsy results, Lin Qisheng was murdered seven to five days ago. If these two people pretended to leave Beijing, but actually hid in secret, waiting for an opportunity to assist the murderer in committing the crime, the timing would be right.

"Continue to track down these two people."

Sun Shaozong immediately ordered: "Even if you don't know where they went, at least let me find out what they did after they left the Lin Mansion!"

Tang Weishan secretly complained, but he could only bow down and accept orders with Huang Bin.

Next, it was Yang Zhiming, the prime minister of the temple, who had a report on the investigation of the man in the Lin family.

He also spent a lot of effort, but most people lacked circumstantial evidence. If he wanted to dig deep into the details and expose the suspect, he would have to continue to work hard.

Finally, there is Chen Jingde who is still lackluster...

At the end of the day's investigation and summary, Sun Shaozong carefully reviewed the written report submitted, and saw that there was really not much useful information, so he was ready to leave for home.

But before he left, he felt that it was necessary to go to the mourning hall again—he might be able to dig out some clues from Shen Peilan.

same with yesterday.

Outside the gate of the mourning hall, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that Shen Peilan's heartfelt sadness seemed out of place in a kind of female family.

What is she...

"grown ups!"

Just as he was about to start thinking, he suddenly heard someone shout excitedly from behind him: "The Liu'er who was born as an orphan once stayed in the theater troupe for several years, and when he followed the theater troupe to celebrate his birthday in Lin's residence, he fell in love with Zongxian Lin. , and then transferred to the Lin family as a servant!"

Been in a troupe?

Sun Shaozong's eyes suddenly brightened.

Most actors nowadays are used to dressing up by themselves, even if it is inconvenient, at most they are helping each other with their companions, so makeup skills can be said to be one of the must-learn homework.

Even if it's so thick and colorful, it can't be called a disguise technique, but it's much more familiar than those who have no foundation at all.

and……

Using false voice to change voice is also the basic skill of Liyuanxing.

Now that Liu'er is serving Lin Qicheng, imitating his tone of voice may not be a difficult task—anyway, with Lin Qicheng's prestige and the past two years, everyone is trembling in front of him. Yes, how can I bother to distinguish them in detail?

"Check! Keep checking!"

Sun Shaozong categorically ordered: "Through the investigation overnight, no matter whether he is dead or alive, I must find him out!"

With this order, more than half of the manpower of the 'special case team' was concentrated on the investigation of the little servant Liu'er.

And as time went by, various information about these six children gradually surfaced:

This Liu'er was originally a cautious man, and among the many servants in the Lin Mansion, he was also known for his prudence—but after leaving the Lin Mansion, he wandered the streets almost every day, spending money lavishly and recklessly.

Seven days ago, he visited the Lin Mansion, said goodbye to several familiar companions, and then left the Lin Mansion—it is said that he specially tied a parcel around his shoulders at that time, and he really looked like he was going to leave the Lin Mansion. The appearance of going out.

The small courtyard where Liu'er rented is now locked behind the door, and the inside is very tidy - but according to the landlord, when he lived there, he was drunk all the time, and he didn't clean up the house at all.

Most importantly, he didn't even return the lease before he left!

Each of these incidents magnified Liu'er's suspicions.

However, the investigation continued until the next morning, but no one knew where the six sons had gone.

Or maybe...

He didn't actually go anywhere!

Thinking like this, what emerged in Sun Shaozong's mind was Shen Peilan's incompatible sadness.

Chapter 929 The Truth [Part [-]]

Lin House.

Wearing filial piety, Mrs. Lin Zhou walked into the outer study, and saw her husband [Lin Xiuyuan] sitting behind the desk with a tired face, closing his eyes and rubbing the center of his brows.

She kept silent, stepped forward to pick up the teapot and filled it with tea for him.

"go out."

Hearing the movement of pouring tea, Lin Xiuyuan still closed his eyes, but scolded impatiently: "Didn't I say that, master, do you want to be quiet?"

"master."

"It's you?"

Lin Zhou called softly, and Lin Xiuyuan knew it was her, so she leaned back and sighed faintly: "Oh... tell me, what's the matter?"
