The first dude in the Qing Dynasty

Because it was getting late, the gate to the capital should be closed now, so Yinzuo took Yinhu back to Jingming Garden.

First sent Yinhu to the courtyard specially prepared for him, entered the small flower hall and sat down, served tea, Yinzuo ordered dinner to be served here, and then said: "I only knew when the fourth brother mentioned it, so you can't come back because of business When you were in Beijing, you could only make do with the guards’ office, so someone prepared a yard for you, and I didn’t want something like Fourth Brother to happen before I could inform you.”

"I know you love cleanliness, so I prepared a bamboo courtyard. The environment here is elegant and cool. I just don't know your preferences, so I can only pick a few decorations from the library at random. If the eighth brother doesn't like anything, just tell me It doesn't take much for them to change it. There is only one thing. The servants in this garden can only do some rough work like sweeping and cleaning. There are not many people around me who can be close to me. Tonight, you two are divided. In the future, you will send a few people to manage the yard."

Seeing that Yinhu looked embarrassed and seemed to be delaying, Yinzuo smiled and said: "Eighth Brother, don't refuse, when the time comes, Big Brother, Third Brother, and Fifth Brother will all come to live. If you are polite, it will appear that they are thick-skinned. "

This made Yinhu say nothing, so he had to say: "The younger brother has the cheek to disturb you."

Yinzuo said: "Between brothers, you shouldn't be polite."

Speaking of brothers, Yinzuo thought of Yinzhen again, his mood became depressed, and the smile on his face showed a bit of melancholy.

Although they are similar in age, they are not very familiar with each other, but Yinhu has a deep impression of Yinzuo.

Yinhu is the prince with the lowest family background in the palace. Although he studies well, his handwriting is not good, and his martial arts are not outstanding. , I was often bullied when I was a child.

It's normal for the palace to go up and down, but this sixth brother is an outlier. In his eyes, a younger brother is a younger brother. What does it have to do with your mother's background?Yinzhen and Yinzhen are brothers of the same father and mother, so they are the closest, and the rest of the brothers are generally the same.

Yinzuo is the most favored prince in front of Kangxi, maybe he doesn't even know it, but a word he occasionally says is enough to turn the life of an unfavored prince like Yinhu upside down.

Yinhu remembers that it snowed one year and it was very cold. After the good charcoal in his quota was in his hands, there was only a little bit left. The servant threw the worst charcoal to him, and said it was his own. Instead of subsidizing him, he should be grateful to them in turn.As soon as the charcoal burned up, he choked and burst into tears. He couldn't do anything, let alone put it in the hand stove.

They all lived in Elder Brother's house. Occasionally, Yinzuo saw him turn pale from the cold, so he reprimanded those servants. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the best silver silk charcoal to them that day, and the servants who waited on them were also meticulous. A lot, let him have a little more warmth this winter.

It's just that he was still young at that time, looking at Yinzuo who was like the stars holding the moon, his heart was more shy than grateful.

When he got older, he also had the means to protect himself, and he was considered a standout among the brothers. At this time, he also understood the value of the warmth back then, but he didn't even know how to say thank you—— That person probably doesn't remember anymore.

Even if he was valued, he was still cautious when facing Kangxi, for fear of saying a wrong word or taking a wrong step, because he knew that everything he could get was pinned on this majestic man like a mountain. Let yourself be prominent for a lifetime, but also let yourself be silent for a lifetime.

But Yinzuo at this time, even in front of Kangxi, was still the same as when he was a child, talking casually and losing his temper when he was unhappy.Just like when I was a child, I would inadvertently help him out.

I don't know why, but most of his heart is astringent. He secretly looked at Yin Zuo, thinking, if you are so presumptuous, you will be disgusted by Huang Ama one day...

Then that day, that person was really rejected.

He watched him lying on the ground, listening to Kangxi's unfeeling words, his body trembled slightly, and found that his heart was not at all as happy as he imagined, and instead he was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

At that time, he was the first to get up from the ground, rushing up to hold his wrist tightly, shouting in fear to let go, unknowingly, tears streaming down his face.

Later, he was demoted, but he himself was made the king of the county.

Yinhu knew that he should be happy, but he couldn't be happy no matter what. He skillfully wore a warm smile, facing the brothers who followed him, and facing the old fox from the Ministry of Punishment. His cheeks were in a daze, thinking, that person, it's time to change now!

But no, it seems that that person was born to live wantonly like this, no one can give him the slightest grievance, even Huang Ama, who left him in the cold for less than two months, still took him back carefully.

Time seems to have returned to the past.

It's just that if you are careful, you become more careful, and if you are reckless, you become more reckless.

My heart was equally astringent, but when this person showed a sad expression, he knew that maybe no one in this world was qualified to sympathize with him, but he still couldn't help but feel distressed.

Yinhu, you are fucking cheap!

Sighing, he took the initiative to start talking about Tong Jia's case.

It's not much different from what was said in Tanningju, but it's more specific, and Yinzuo was dizzy and didn't hear anything.

"Sixth brother, how do you plan to get it tomorrow? The little brother should make arrangements first."

Yinzuo thought for a while and said, "First go to the fourth brother's house to mourn the fourth sister-in-law, and then see if there are any experts under the fourth brother's hands to solve the case."

"what?"

Yinzuo looked at him, seeming more surprised than him, and said, "You don't think I can investigate the case, do you?"

Yinhu helped his forehead, why didn't he know before that his sixth elder brother was so out of tune.

-

Early the next morning, Yinzuo saw Yinzhen. It was the first time he saw such a decadent look on Yinzhen's face, and he was so sad that he couldn't speak for a while.

Knowing that the two must have something to say, Yinhu excused that the Ministry of Punishment still had something to deal with and left first.

As soon as Yinhu left, the decadence on Yinzhen's face faded a bit, with anger added, he looked at Yinzuo: "You know how to detect crimes?"

Yin Zuo shook his head.

"Then what are you doing in here?"

Yin Zuo said: "Otherwise, seeing the fourth sister-in-law die in vain, and seeing the fourth brother being framed by someone?"

Yinzhen said angrily: "This is the first time you've been on an errand, and the time limit given by Huang Ama is 20 days longer than that given to Lao Ba. Do you know what the consequences will be if nothing is found out like this?" ?”

"What consequences can there be?" Yin Zuo shrugged: "It's nothing more than Huang Ama thinks I'm incompetent! In Huang Ama's heart, I'm not a person who does practical things. My strengths lie in reading, mathematics, foreign languages, and studying things. In terms of learning, astronomy, and geography, what does it matter if he thinks I don't have the talent to handle cases?"

He said again: "Now that the errand has been accepted, fourth brother, if you have the time to teach me a lesson, why not help me figure out how to solve the case. Do you have any clues, fourth brother?"

Yinzhen shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "This time, I was careless."

He didn't expect that he would make the same mistake twice, and he used the experience of the previous life to look at this life.

In the previous life, their brothers also fought constantly, but they were just dragging their feet and putting eye drops, at worst, planting a frame. As for directly murdering a brother or a brother's relatives, he had never done so, so he subconsciously thought that this So will I.

Tong Jiashi made a fuss at the banquet on May [-]th, which made him change from the county king to Baylor. He thought that the other party's goal had been achieved, but he didn't want to be more ruthless to come behind.

One is his wife who has lived under the same roof for more than a year, and the other is his only flesh and blood, which just turned into scorched bones...

How could it not be hated.

"A few days ago, the fourth brother said that the fourth sister-in-law had slaves chewing on her ears..."

"Dead." Yinzhen said: "When I caught them that day, before they could be interrogated, they took poison and died. At that time, I thought that I had been demoted to the rank, and their goal had been achieved. After a few days of investigation, there was no clue, so I didn't continue. "

Yin Zuo looked at Yin Zhen contemptuously: I thought this fourth brother who didn't know which emperor was reincarnated was very powerful, but it turns out that he can't even manage his own back house well...

Yinzhen could only smile wryly. In his previous life, no matter he was a prince or an emperor, the back house was tightly guarded by Ulanara, and he was never allowed to have a half-hearted fuck. The house looks like a sieve.

I only sigh that he intervened too late.

"However, if the missing doctor is either dead or captured."

It is impossible for him to really leave his own flesh and blood outside and ignore it. Although it seems that Tong Jiashi found the doctor himself, he secretly arranged for him. He dare not say that he is absolutely loyal, but he definitely dare not betray him.

-

The Zhuangzi where Tong Jia's accident happened is not big, with only 45 households, and the distribution is a bit messy.The yard where Tong Jia lived is in the south of the center.

At this moment, in the open and flat threshing floor, the atmosphere was solemn and silent. Hundreds of people sat quietly on the ground, with a distance of several feet between them. During this period, only the steady footsteps of the guards patrolling could be heard.

Suddenly, it seemed that he had received some signal from the arbor, and one of the guards pointed at the person in front of him, and said coldly, "You, go and ask questions!"

The person who was pointed out quickly got up, went through the crowd and quickly waited outside the arbor, while those who had finished their questioning quietly returned to their original positions and sat down.

In a dwelling not far from the threshing ground, two people were standing in front of the window, looking at the scene in the threshing ground. One was eighth elder brother Yinhu, and the other was a head catcher sent by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, surnamed Li.

Looking at the scorching sun outside, Catcher Li felt hot and panicked, and said, "Eighth Master, are you going to let Sixth Master do this nonsense? We are running out of time, but he's staring at these irrelevant people and asking all kinds of questions." What are the problems? How many children are there in the family? Do you have a dog? What time do you usually go to bed? Are there any relatives in the family? This Zhuangzi is purely Si Ye's impromptu idea, if these people premeditatedly committed the crime, then the first suspect is Si Ye!"

Yinhu glanced at him and said, "Is there any way for you not to waste time?"

"This……"

Yinhu stared outside for a while, frowned, and said: "Go and call Sixth Brother back. He has been in the sun for a long time, and it will be bad if he gets the heat when he turns around."

"Baye, you... we are here to be babysitters together!"

Li Butou held his breath, if he was a modern person, he would have to yell, "Let the layman go away!"

As a professional person, there is always someone who doesn't understand anything pointing fingers at his head. He already has an eighth elder brother on his head. Fortunately, Yinhu is humble and his character is also admired by him. Everything has something to do with him. There is a lot to discuss, and it is much more convenient to follow Yinhu's side, so he admits it.

But what's going on with this Sixth Brother!

It was alright at the beginning, and he was willing to listen carefully to what he said, but when it came to doing things, he was so fussy!What kind of official authority is being played on these people!

Although Li Butou was full of dissatisfaction, he only dared to think about it. He went under the big sun honestly and asked Yin Zuo, who was patrolling as an officer, to go back to the house, but he didn't hear the indifferent words of the eighth elder brother behind him. : "If you can really be his nanny, it will be your blessing."

Yinzuo returned to the room and sat down, Yinhu handed him warm water, waved a fan for him unhurriedly, and said, "Brother Six, is it too hot?"

Yinzuo took a sip from the water glass, smiled gratefully at Yinhu, and said, "It's okay."

Seeing his appearance, Catcher Li became angry, and asked, "What can Sixth Brother gain?"

Yinzuo didn't take it seriously, took out a blueprint from his arms and opened it, Li Butou recognized it at a glance, and was surprised: "This is the map of Zhuangzi? Where did the sixth elder brother get it?"

Yinzuo glanced at him and said, "I drew it myself."

Yinhu praised: "Brother Six is ​​so detailed! But, what are these black spots?"

Yinzuo said: "It's the range of the dogs in Zhuangzi."

The contempt in Li Butou's heart was immediately accepted, not to mention the sixth master's ability to handle cases, he was worthy of respect for being able to do things so meticulously.

Yinzuo said: "You must think that it is a waste of time for me to ask them next to each other, but there are ghosts among these people outside."

"There are ghosts?" Li Butou said, "It's impossible. Sifujin came here to raise a baby on a temporary basis. These people have lived here for decades. How could they be ghosts?"

Yin Zuo didn't answer, and said: "There are two reasons. First, there are many dogs in Zhuangzi. If the people who come here don't know anything about Zhuangzi's situation, how do they avoid these dogs? Dogs, the dogs in the whole Zhuangzi will bark, and they can't do anything. Moreover, I think they not only avoided, but also tampered with these dogs in advance, because no one can guarantee that when they act, they will not Came across one by accident."

"Secondly," Yinzuo pointed to a red circle on the map and said, "This is the haystack where they took the fire starter. There is a distance from the place where the incident happened."

Li Butou said: "It's not surprising, it may be that they happened to pass by, so they may just take it."

Yinzuo nodded, and said: "I also think they took it by the way, but this haystack was chosen by coincidence. Every household in Zhuangzi has its own haystack, and the owner of this family is a widow who only brought two haystacks. In the whole village, she is the only one who does not dare to come out to check if there is any movement in her own haystack. And you see, this haystack is far away from other houses, so she will not be heard if there is any movement. I heard it, but I won’t come because the widow avoids suspicion.”

He smiled and said: "I think, if this is a coincidence, the luck of these thieves is too good."

Yinhu pondered and said: "Whether it's a dog or Zhuangzi's specific situation, it's not something that a doctor who just came to Zhuangzi a few days ago can do. So, when those people commit crimes, are there ghosts in Zhuangzi leading the way?"

Yinzuo shook his head and said, "If he leads the way, he won't be able to survive now."

According to Li Butou's analysis, people who have lived here for decades, and Tong Jia's coming here is a temporary decision, so even if there is an inner ghost, it may only be a temporary search. If it is really involved so deeply, Then it must have been murdered at this moment.But there is no shortage of people in Zhuangzi.

Catcher Li asked: "Brother Six was outside just now, did you notice anything?"

Yinzuo picked up a pen from the side, wrote three names on the paper, and said, "These three people are a little weird."

Yin Zuo simply stood in front of the window, pointed it out to them, and said, "This Li Ergou, everyone else is fanning the wind, but he is wiping his sweat. He doesn't listen to his sweat. His face and forehead are dripping non-stop. He kept wiping, and there was this man named Li Daniu. Every time a patrolman passed by him, his body would shake. At the end, the man with the skinny eyes was staring at the side of the arbor, no matter who went in or out, he would stare at him. Watch hard."

Yinhu took a look and said, "I think there are quite a few people like him. After all, everyone has curiosity."

Yinzuo nodded and said: "There are quite a few people staring at him, but he is the only one who is staring at him and trying to cover up."

Catcher Li also looked more and more suspicious of those three, and said, "I'll arrest them now and interrogate them severely!"

Yinzuo shook his head and said: "After all, it's just a guess. It would be bad if I lost my sight and took a detour—so I have to try again. You go and call Zhuangtou."

Catcher Li responded, and left quickly, and brought Zhuangtou over after a while.

When Zhuangtou came, Yinzuo had already changed his clothes and was sitting leisurely in front of the desk drawing a picture. Yinhu stood aside and watched with a smile, shaking his fan every now and then, looking very leisurely.

Yinzuo didn't stop Zhuangtou from paying his respects, and after he saluted, he casually said: "There is one thing I want you to do."

Zhuangtou nodded and bowed his waist: "Officer, just give orders."

Yinzuo said: "Tomorrow morning, you prepare some tables, chairs, benches, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and put them on the threshing floor. The more the better... Oh, by the way, can everyone in Zhuangzi know how to write?"

Zhuangtou said: "We poor people, how can we have spare money to learn this, most of them are blind."

Yin Zuo said: "It's okay, then prepare some charcoal pens."

He added: "I'm not afraid you know that when we were surveying the site, we found half a map, so we had to ask the people in the Zhuangzi to check the handwriting. Regardless of whether they can read or not, everyone's starting point is different. As long as he draws a line on the paper, he can recognize who is who, even if he deliberately conceals it, he can't, unless he chops off his own arm."

Zhuangtou was shocked, and said: "It turns out that our Zhuangzi really has an inner ghost! This, this..."

Yinzuo hummed, lowered his head to draw a picture, and said casually: "Fortunately, the skynet is well-established, and it is not missing. Let us find that map, and we will be able to catch him tomorrow. Don't worry."
