Hearing Leng Xue's words, Jin Jiuling thought that Leng Xue had heard some rumors about Mei Jingxian, but in fact he had no friendship, so he relaxed and continued: "Four arresters, I just confirmed that Mei Jingxian is a suspect. I can't believe it, but all kinds of clues point to him and Lin Shiyin. The Embroidered Thief matter is of great importance. Half a month has passed since the one-month period set by the Holy Majesty. We should immediately escort them to Beijing and find the robbed official bank to settle. This is good."

"The Embroidered Thief?" He glanced coldly at him, then turned to the calm young man, "You mean Young Master Mei?"

"Exactly." The four famous arresters had a great reputation, and Jin Jiuling rarely had the opportunity to show his ability to handle cases in front of them.

Even though he has completed many cases excellently, but with these four people on top of him, no matter how hard he tries, when he lifts the six doors, others will always think of the four famous arresters, not him, Jin Jiuling.

But now that the four big headhunters have failed to track down the embroidery thief, he has discovered the "suspect" in one fell swoop and preempted the four.

He presented the sword tassel and purse as evidence, "Here is the evidence, please see the four arresters..."

"No need." Cold-blood waved his hands to plan him, and said decisively: "Mr. Mei cannot be an embroidery thief."

"Thank you for your trust, Fourth Master Leng." Mei Jingxian smiled slightly, and turned to look at Lin Shiyin who was a little disturbed by the turn of events, "Shiyin, it's cold and dewy right now, and Fourth Master Leng is coming from afar again, please. Go make him a pot of hot tea."

Lin Shiyin received the comfort in his eyes, collected herself, nodded and turned back to the room.

"This... the four chief arresters," Jin Jiuling's face turned ugly. In his opinion, the cold-blooded words not only denied Mei Jingxian's identity as an embroidery thief, but also denied his ability. "Four arresters, don't be fooled by the rumors outside , people should not be judged by their appearance, and we six doors should not just look at the surface when handling cases, you..."

Cold blood frowned and looked at him, and when he caught a glimpse of the sword tassel in his hand, he stretched out his hand to take it, and said in a lower voice, "This is the sword tassel found at the scene of the robbery of the official bank. I remember that the senior brother had someone put it in the warehouse. In your hand?"

He paused, looked at Jin Jiuling, his black eyes were slightly cold, and said firmly: "You took it out privately."

Jin Jiuling panicked for a moment, then calmed down immediately, "Using evidence privately, there is something wrong with my humble job, but my humble job is also to investigate the case as soon as possible."

He pointed to the sword tassel exposed under the sapphire qin on the stone table, "Look at the four arresting heads, this sword tassel is exactly the same as the sword tassel on Mei Jingxian's sword, it is clear that Mei Jingxian left the sword tassel after robbing the official silver , in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, I made exactly the same one again. The humble staff also accidentally discovered that his sword spikes are somewhat familiar, so people rushed to send the sword spikes in the warehouse for comparison."

Mei Jingxian's eyes flashed, and she smiled, "Jin Butou found out that my sword tassel is familiar, so he sent someone to send the sword tassel left by the embroidered thief for comparison?"

Without waiting for Jin Jiuling to answer, he continued: "But before today, I have never met Jin Butou. How did Jin Butou know my appearance and feel familiar with it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes in the courtyard fell on Jin Jiuling, even Lu Xiaofeng's eyes showed suspicion.

Jin Jiuling secretly thought it was not good.

——It should be Lu Xiaofeng who is familiar with Mei Jingxian's Jiansui, and it should be Lu Xiaofeng who recognizes who owns Jiansui, not Jin Jiuling.

He made a mistake in his haste, for the crime of crucifying Mei Jingxian in front of Leng Xue, he even neglected this point for a moment.

He secretly took out this sword spike from the storeroom early on, and he deliberately exposed it to Lu Xiaofeng at an appropriate moment after Xue Bing disappeared, so that Lu Xiaofeng took the initiative to deepen his suspicion of Mei Jingxian.

And just now, in order to cover up his abrupt behavior of taking Jiansui locked in the warehouse all the way to Yangzhou for no reason, he told Leng Xue that Jiansui was temporarily sent to Yangzhou for comparison with Mei Jingxian's Jiansui, which is different from facing What Lu Xiaofeng said at the time was contradictory to always carrying Jiansui on his body.

Jin Jiuling sank his mind, and smiled as if nothing had happened, "Mr. Mei is extraordinary in appearance, even more handsome than Pan An. As soon as he goes out, he attracts crowds to watch. How can he notice me?"

He paused, then continued: "One day when I was going out, I happened to see Mr. Mei, and found that Mr. Mei's sword tassel was somewhat familiar. It seemed to be somewhat similar to the sword tassel found at the scene of the robbery. So I sent a letter to let the six-door My colleague helped to bring the sword spike. Because I only saw Mr. Mei's sword spike briefly, I was not sure what to do. Unfortunately, Lu Xiaofeng saw it and confirmed that the sword spike was indeed Mr. Mei. of."

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard, a little carelessly, but his eyes were fixed on him, "You told me that you brought this sword tassel all the way from the capital to Yangzhou."

"Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng," Jin Jiuling sighed helplessly, his mind turned sharply, and he smiled bitterly: "You are Huamanlou's friend, and Huamanlou is Mei Jingxian's friend. I didn't confirm whether Jiansui It really has something to do with Mei Jingxian, and you are hurting for Xue Bing again. I am afraid that speaking out my guesses rashly will affect your friendship, and even offend a top expert. How dare I ask you to share my speculations and doubts ? When you saw Jiansui, you asked me where Jiansui came from. I can’t say that it was sent temporarily to compare with Mei Jingxian’s Jiansui. Naturally, I told you that I brought it all the way from the capital. .”

Jin Jiuling's statement sounds reasonable at first glance.

Lu Xiaofeng remained silent, looking down at the plum blossom bud between his fingers.

But there are many sayings and many mistakes.

In the past, Jin Jiuling's style of handling cases was very decisive, and his actions were also very decisive. Why was he so indecisive?Is it just because of scruples about Mei Jingxian's martial arts and friendship with Huamanlou?

He was disturbed by Xue Bing's incident before, but now that he thinks about it, all the incidents that point to Mei Jingxian's suspicion after coming to Yangzhou... seem to be a bit of a subtle violation.

Leng Xue didn't know whether he believed Jin Jiuling's words or not, and said in a deep voice: "The third senior brother and Mr. Mei knew each other. When the sword tassel was delivered to the six gates, he found that this sword tassel was exactly the same as Mr. Mei's sword tassel."

Hearing that Leng Xue said that Mei Jingxian and Zhui Ming knew each other, and that his name for Mei Jingxian had not changed, Jin Jiuling's premonition got worse.

He frowned slightly, and said with some disapproval: "It turns out that the third catcher has already discovered this clue, so why didn't he take action against Mei Jingxian these days?"

"Because Mr. Mei is definitely not an embroidered thief. After seeing the sword spike, the third senior brother guessed that someone might have deliberately planted it, so the senior brother decided not to show it and locked the sword spike into the warehouse."

The cold-blooded brows and eyes were as cold as a knife, and after he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Mei Jingxian, who happened to meet the boy's eyes.

The young man's dark brown pupils flickered twice, and he quickly lowered his eyelids and turned his eyes away, as if a little embarrassed, and the coldness between his brows and eyes melted away, revealing a feeling of innocence and harmlessness.

Mei Jingxian raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

This rumored brave and fearless little apprentice of Zhuge God Hou looked like a wolf at first glance, and the predatory breath scared his deer away, but when he inadvertently looked like a gentle and harmless little milk dog , this changeable appearance is also strange and interesting.

"Four arrests," Jin Jiuling seemed a little unbearable, and his voice became a little heavier, "People in the public family should pay attention to justice in handling cases. The matter of the embroidered robber is so important. Not to mention the decree from the Holy Majesty himself, but only to the 150 million taels of officials Yin is related to the livelihood of the people affected by the disaster in the southwest and northeast! Even though Mei Jingxian has a close relationship with the three catchers, but now his evidence is convincing. Take this heavy responsibility!"

Jin Jiuling's face was righteous and awe-inspiring, but his heart was agitated, and he had long since forgotten the bad premonition just now.

The behavior of chasing life and concealing evidence and clues is extremely beneficial to him, and it even involves ruthlessness. As long as he finally realizes the crime of Mei Jingxian's embroidered thief, he can also conceal the behavior of chasing life and ruthless If it is reported, not only will the plan be achieved, but the four famous arresters may also be dragged into the water.

Without these four pressing on his head, he can go further in the six doors.

Leng Xue suddenly turned his head and looked at Jin Jiuling coldly, "You say third senior brother is playing for selfishness?"

Under the cold-blooded gaze like a sharp blade, Jin Jiuling's heart tightened, and he forced himself to calm down. He turned his head and said angrily: "The third catcher knew that the sword ear was Mei Jingxian's thing, but he didn't mention it at all. The other three The big catcher knows about this and treats it as if he doesn't know, isn't this selfishness?"

Leng Xue's face remained unchanged, his eyes were like ice, and his voice was cold and deep, "Mr. Mei is not an embroidery thief, and the third senior brother is not showing favoritism."

"If the four big arresters want to cover up the suspect, they have to produce conclusive evidence." Jin Jiuling sneered, "Otherwise, don't blame me for reporting this matter to the Ministry of Punishment."

At present, only one of the four famous arresters, Leng Xue, is here, but in Jin Jiuling's words, he put the name of protecting the suspect on the four of them, and a corner of his hidden thoughts have emerged.

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were complicated, and he looked at Jin Jiuling as if meeting him for the first time.

Mei Jingxian lowered her eyes and narrowed her eyes, not wanting to look at such villains.

Leng Xue didn't seem to hear the threat in Jin Jiuling's words, looked at him for a moment, and suddenly said: "Nearly three months ago, some people from Jianghu donated 85 million taels of silver to the national treasury. The calamity was resolved, and the sage Longyan was very happy. He was grateful for his kindness and generosity, benefited the country and the people, and intended to commend him. However, this person was wandering in the rivers and lakes and his whereabouts were uncertain. As a result, the imperial edict was not delivered to him for more than two months. Put it on hold in Shenhou Mansion."

Jin Jiuling is just a small head catcher of the Six Doors, not yet qualified to be discussed by the court, so he knows nothing about this matter, and those who know about it will not come here to talk to him, a small head catcher, about it. thing.

At this moment, Leng Xue suddenly mentioned this matter for no reason. When Jin Jiuling heard the last word, he had a faint premonition, and his complexion gradually turned pale.
