lustful

Liu Yi stayed in prison for a long time, terrified.After finally waiting for Huo Yunshan.

It turned out that Huo Yunshan came to interrogate him.

"The calligraphy and painting dealer you found for Mrs. Ruyi?" Huo Yunshan looked at him with a cold face.

Liu Yi nodded: "Yes."

Huo Yunshan handed him a painting: "This painting was drawn by Mrs. Ruyi, why is your name written on it?"

Liu Yi was startled: "It's like this. I introduced a calligraphy and painting merchant to her at the beginning. But she was not well-known at that time, and she was anxious to spend money, so she used my name..."

"your name?"

Huo Yunshan frowned: "When did she start using it impersonally?"

Liu Yidao: "It was spring last year. At that time, she said she was short of money, so she asked me to help sell her calligraphy and paintings. The merchant saw that she was not well-known, so she was only willing to give one tael of silver. Seeing that she was really short of money, she said that I painted it. The bookseller only gave it ten taels, and it has been at this price ever since."

Huo Yunshan was puzzled: "If the two of you use the same name, won't you be afraid of being misunderstood?"

The scholar lowered his head shyly: "I... I am not as good at drawing as Miss Tong. Since then, I have stopped drawing. I only write for people occasionally."

Huo Yunshan saw that he didn't look like a liar, so he asked patiently: "Then who is the man in the mountain?"

The scholar blinked his eyes: "The person in the mountains is also Miss Tong. After that day, she sold a few landscape paintings. After she got some money, she painted grass and trees with her heart. Later, her grass and trees were very popular, and booksellers liked her paintings very much." For grass and trees, I knew that people should not know that it was painted by her, so I taught her to use the name of a mountain person, so that people would not know who it was, and instead paid more because of the mystery."

Speaking of this, he pursed his lips and looked at Huo Yunshan again: "Since Miss Tong has this livelihood, she has been working hard to paint. When landscape paintings and vegetation are useless after all, she draws pictures of beauties. She puts the paintings on the bamboo at the door. In the cage, when I passed by, I took the painting away and sold it, and put the money in the bamboo cage when I came back. She hasn't done that for a long time..."

Huo Yunshan said: "It's not that you are greedy for her money?"

The scholar was shocked: "I am also a person who reads sage books, how could I do such a thing."

Huo Yunshan didn't dare to trust the scholar just like that, so he had to ask him who else would know about this matter.

Liu Yi shook her head: "I don't usually communicate with her very much. Everyone doesn't know that we are familiar. We are just ordinary neighbors. In fact... I am not familiar with her. I just did her a small favor."

Huo Yunshan nodded: "You said just now that she can make a lot of money by painting like this. Why didn't I find anything valuable in her home."

Liu Yi was surprised: "Didn't find anything valuable?"

He moved his lips: "Impossible, she..."

Huo Yunshan felt that the scholar was dumb, and it seemed that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only be detained.

Xiaobai had already gone back to the palace first, so he went back to the palace by himself.

His mansion in the capital has been sold. At first he lived in the shogunate's mansion, but gradually he didn't go back to live there, and now he lives directly in the palace.

In the first year, the ministers were quite critical, but after the world was peaceful, everyone got used to it.

Anyway... as long as everyone's life is easy, who cares about who the emperor sleeps with?

"How was the question?" Xiaobai asked Huo Yunshan without raising his head while he was critiquing the papers before the case.

Huo Yunshan sighed: "I have no clue. That little scholar doesn't look like a murderer."

Xiaobai rubbed his nose: "Let's leave this matter to Dali Temple, we are not the material to try the case."

Dali Temple's opinion is that the person probably, maybe, probably, committed suicide.

After all, she is a prostitute, no one cares, she dies, and no one complains about her grievances anyway.

Why bother?

Her only younger brother had severed ties with her many years ago, and for the sake of her family's future, she had to stay away from this sister's messy affairs.For fear of delaying the future of the family.

Only one stupid neighbor thinks she probably, maybe, maybe was killed, there is no evidence yet.

Huo Yunshan thought melancholy, in this world, if a person dies, there is no one to cherish and redress his grievances, isn't it very pitiful?

Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Xiaobai put down the memorial, pulled him to sit beside him, and asked him: "You are not busy with official duties recently, do you think this is very good?"

Huo Yunshan said: "It's rare for me to be free, so I thought about asking."

Xiaobai said softly: "I'm a bit busy these days. After the beginning of spring, it will be Chunwei. I haven't thought about the exam questions yet."

It is another year of spring, and scholars from all over the world come to Beijing to take the exam. At this time, chaos is most likely to occur.

Huo Yunshan said: "You said...could it be Tong Ruyi's lover more than five years ago who killed her?"

Xiaobai was stunned: "The imperial examination is coming soon, and that person will come to the capital if he doesn't."

However, I just heard that this woman had a good candidate, and I don't know everything else. This is even more difficult than finding Kang Ping that day.

Huo Yunshan put several paintings on the case and sighed.

This woman has nothing, and no one will feel sorry for her after she dies.

But her paintings are so good.

She is talented, if she is successful, she will definitely become a master in the future.

Pity.

Huo Yunshan thought helplessly.

Xiaobai took him to take a bath, and fell asleep with him again.

When he got up the next day, someone from Dali Temple reported the progress. Originally, such a small case did not need to be reported to the emperor, but since Xiaobai and Huo Yunshan both personally intervened, they also sent someone to inform.

The little scholar really had no suspicions. In order to let him take the exam with peace of mind and not disturb the farewell candidates, he was released.

As for the old woman next door, she still refused to tell the truth. She was over 70 years old, and she could not be sentenced according to the law, so she had to be imprisoned first.

At present, Dali Temple can't find any other clues, so it can only suppress this case temporarily, and continue to investigate when there are other clues in the future.

After all, he still couldn't continue to entangle for this clueless case.

Dali Temple asked the emperor if he was satisfied with this way of handling the case. The fact is, Xiaobai can't blame them for not doing things well. After all, what they said is also reasonable. Just because Huo Yunshan cares about this case, all the staff of Dali Temple should not be put here.

Now, that's all there is to it.

Xiao Luan took all the calligraphy and paintings, he liked them very much, and felt sorry for this Ruyi lady.

Xiaobai thought about it for several days, and finally thought up the question before the New Year. He drew up a few and asked the people in the Ministry of Rites to consider and choose one.
