The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Chapter 15 The Butterfly Effect

This is too coincidental.He randomly looked for a printing house, which happened to be Song Xi's property.

When I bought lottery tickets in the past, how could I not be as lucky as I am now.

Jia Amnesty rubbed his chin pretending to be calm, but his heart was still racing.Fortunately, he shaved his beard two days ago, and his appearance will change a lot at first glance.Besides, when he went to Sanzifang, he still pretended to be big and small. If he went to confront shopkeeper Sun at this moment, shopkeeper Sun would not be able to recognize him.

However, Jia Amnesty is not a fool.

Why should he go to Sanzifang at the risk of being exposed? He is determined not to go!

"What a coincidence. As I said just now, there are indeed important matters to be dealt with at home. Since Sanzifang is owned by Mr. Song, it would be very convenient for Mr. Song to investigate, so there is no need for stupid people like me to intervene."

Song Xi smiled and said nothing, but looked at Jia Shedao meaningfully.

Jia Amnesty: "Hehe, Mr. Song, please leave now."

Song Xi cast another sidelong glance at Jia She, and got into the carriage with his hands behind his back.

The wheels of the carriage turned, and there was an intermittent rutting sound, and soon the carriage disappeared at the end of the street.

Jia Amnesty touched his forehead and found that he was sweating a lot unconsciously.This Song Xi seemed very difficult to deal with.

Just at this moment, the black pig ran over, and Jia Amnesty told him to send someone to follow the car, and let him see the situation first.

Jia Amnesty returned to Rongfu.

He specifically asked the servant girl, but Mrs. Xing hadn't come back yet.

After a while, the black pig ran back and replied: "Master, my people followed that Song Xi all the way, he never went to Sanzifang at all, the carriage just passed by the gate of Sanzifang without stopping."

Jia Amnesty frowned and let out a shallow breath.

"Master, he didn't go in again, why are you so worried?" the black pig was extremely puzzled.

"If you knew the clues of the person who exposed your scandal, would you just let it go and not investigate?"

Heizhu suddenly understood what the master meant, Song Xi had already investigated Sanzifang.It's over, now the master may have offended the person who shouldn't be offended.The most important thing is that what he did was discovered by others.

"Okay, don't worry, he can't find evidence, the biggest possibility is just speculation."

If there was any evidence, the guy wouldn't have stopped him suddenly on the street to test him, so he would have directly arrested him and questioned him.

It seems that the release of the second issue of the book should be delayed for a while, so as to avoid the limelight of Song Xi first.

Jia Amnesty picked up a book on the table and read it.At this time, he needs to divert his attention, calm down severely, and think again.

The black pig went out and squatted on the porch.

The servant Er Zhuzi leaned over, "Our master may have been irritated."

"How?" asked the black pig.

Erzhuzi: "Brother Heizhu, you didn't see it with your own eyes at the time. I happened to buy some snacks and came back and stood across the street. That Mr. Song just stood in front of the master. With that momentum, there was no one else around. He started When I got out of the car, my face was cold and frightening, and I felt that I would be pulled down by him and hit people all day. Later, I don’t know why, he chatted with the master and laughed, and I felt like ten suns grew in the sky , illuminated my heart, liver and lungs."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Let others destroy your own prestige!" The black pig patted Er Zhuzi on the head and told him to get out of here.

Er Zhuzi pursed his lips, covered his head embarrassingly, and stepped back.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jia Amnesty asked Dong Sun, "Has Madam come back?"

Winter bamboo shoots shook his head.

At this time, there was a commotion outside, with shouts and crying.

Jia Amnesty went out to have a look, and saw Zhu Mao running over, panting, pointing at the boy behind him who was about to drive this way.

"Master, something is wrong, the eldest lady—she's gone!"

"Speak clearly." Jia Amnesty stared at Zhu Mao.

Zhu Maofang realized that what he said was ambiguous, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "It's just that the person died."

Jia Amnesty opened his eyes slightly.

Immediately, a servant rushed over, it was Mrs. Xing's coachman, he knelt on the ground in disgrace, and cried in terror: "Master, the eldest lady is gone."

Jia Amnesty calmed down and asked the coachman to elaborate, but the coachman faltered but couldn't give specifics.

"At noon today, my wife came out from my uncle's house. Halfway in the car, she suddenly said that the carriage was too swaying, and she felt dizzy. It happened that the car stopped near an inn, and the wife said that she was thirsty. Qiu Tong and other maidservants helped her. Take my wife to the inn room to rest for a while. We boys are waiting outside the Fulai Inn. About half an hour later, we suddenly heard a loud cry, and saw Qiu Tong come out with a pale face, saying that my wife is dead."

"Where's Qiutong?"

"After the incident, the manager of the inn reported to the government. All of us have to stay and wait for the government to question. Now everyone else is still in Gyeonggi Province, and I am the only one who is allowed to report back."

"How long has it been since the incident happened?" Jia She then asked.

"About two hours." The coachman replied.

There was a homicide in the capital, and after two full hours, there was no news. It was only when the coachman came back to report the news that he found out.It's a bit strange, could it be that someone controlled the news?

Jia Amnesty then thought again, maybe the government blocked the news for the purpose of investigating the case.

With a sullen face, he thought for a moment, then sent the black pig to investigate the matter immediately.

"Give some money to the innkeeper, and tell him not to open the door for business. If she dies, no one is allowed to enter the house. Ask your friends more, and ask more questions from the government officials, and investigate. It is clear who entered and exited the inn before and after the incident."

Jia Amnesty in turn asked some women to pass the news to Jiamu and Wang Xifeng.Then let Erzhuzi and Wanfu keep an eye on Xing Zhong's family to see if there is anything unusual.After all, Mrs. Xing returned to her natal home for the second day in a row today, and when she said goodbye to herself in the morning, she was in a strange mood.At that time, Jia She didn't think much of it, but now that he thinks about it, he is a suspect, so her elder brother Xing Zhong is naturally involved.

After Jia She made arrangements for all of this, Jia Shefang took the people and went straight to Gyeonggi Prefecture, which was in charge of local homicides in the capital.

When Jia Amnesty's carriage was parked in front of Gyeonggi Mansion, he saw a very luxurious carriage parked at the gate of Gyeonggi Mansion through the window. It was very familiar, and Jia Amnesty recognized Song Xi's car at a glance.

When the gatekeeper heard about Jia She's name, he immediately reported it, and then a middle-aged man in official robes came to welcome Jia She.

"At the top of the Prime Minister of the Lower Gyeonggi Prefecture, Mr. Fu Yin has been waiting for a long time. Master Jia, please come in and talk about it in detail."

"I'm sorry." Jia She said politely.

Jia Amnesty followed Liu Zhizhong into the flower hall of the back hall of Gyeonggi Prefecture, but saw two people sitting in the first seat, one was over fifty years old, one could tell from his official uniform that he was Yin Peiyong of Gyeonggi Prefecture, and the other It was Song Xi, the owner of the carriage at the door.

Jia Amnesty was sure that Song Xi was here, his heart sank even more, and there were many thoughts in his mind instantly.

Pei Yong was very polite to Jia Amnesty, and after asking him to sit down, he briefly described the case.

"According to Madam's accompanying servant girl, Madam felt dizzy and vomited at the time, so she went to the inn to rest. After Madam Xing drank tea, she was still very weak and a little tired. The maid Qiutong wanted to go back to the house to report, to ask The doctor, but was stopped by his wife, who said that he could only take a short nap before leaving, so he asked the maidservants to wait outside the house. Unexpectedly, during this sleep, the wife died on the bed for unknown reasons. Because of the high status of the wife, the official No one was allowed to move the corpse at will, and the corpse is still in the Fulai Inn at this moment. My aunt wants to ask Master Jia about whether the corpse will be inspected or not?"

Pei Yong implied that if Jia Amnesty wanted to find out the cause of death and needed an autopsy, then it was inevitable that Wu Zuo would touch Mrs. Xing's body.If you don't want to investigate, you can only close the case with sudden death to save the face of the nobles.

"Of course we have to find out the cause of death. If Zhuo Jing was really murdered by wicked people, how can I allow the murderer to go unpunished." When Jia Amnesty said this, his eyes subconsciously glanced at Song Xi.

Hearing this, Pei Yong hurriedly bowed to Song Xi: "Then this case will bother Mr. Song."

"No problem." Song Xi replied two words lightly.

Jia Amnesty was puzzled, looked at Song Xi, and then at Pei Yong, "My lord, you are the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, why?"

"I don't know if Mr. Jia has read the book "Secrets of the Neighbors". This official has been implicated because of this. I just received the order of the emperor and will leave for Guangdong and Guangxi tomorrow. After I leave, the post of Governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture will be temporarily suspended Mr. Song will also be in charge."

Song Xi twitched the corners of his lips slightly, and looked in the direction of Jia Amnesty.
