The first dude in the Qing Dynasty

Not long after sending off Yinzhen, Wangcai came back, and besides the young man, there was actually Chang Yisheng, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, with him.

Yinzuo frowned slightly: It's such a small case that it's hard for Wangcai, who has won his favor, to come forward?

But if it was really difficult, Chang Yisheng wouldn't have to follow him to see him in person.

Guessing that there might be an inside story, Yinzuo asked Wangcai to take the boy to eat before Chang Yisheng opened his mouth, and then sent the servant away, before asking: "But I want you to find a missing little girl. Is it so difficult? Do you have to speak in person?"

Chang Yisheng said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, forgive me, this case has been carefully investigated by the lower officials before, and the problem is most likely caused by the Yang family. The people in the Yang family have different opinions about the little girl's whereabouts, and their expressions are suspicious. Moreover, the lower officials have also sent people to inquire about the people around the Yang residence, but they have never seen the little girl come out..."

"In that case, why are you so embarrassed?"

Chang Yisheng's face was filled with disbelief: "Then Yang's mansion...lower official..."

can't bother...

How could Yin Zuo not understand this appearance?He didn't even bother to scold him for his weak bones - where is the officialdom not like this, he is a little Shuntian governor, and there are many people who dare not move in the capital, Yin Zuo rubbed his forehead and asked: "What is his background? "

Chang Yisheng hesitated for a while, and said: "The owner of the Yang residence said that he is the uncle of Prince Yu's uncle Lingpu..."

"Prince Yu's grandson's uncle..." Yinzuo helped his forehead: "You dare not touch such a crooked relative?"

Chang Yisheng smiled wryly and said: "It's not that the officials are afraid to move, it's that they can't. Earlier, the officials had brought people into the Yang Mansion, and were about to arrest them, who knew they would come out with the note written by Prince Yu... Xiaguan I had no choice but to come back in despair..."

Speaking of this matter, he himself was very aggrieved. He originally wanted to go out in person to show his favor to the new crown prince, but he didn't want to come back in frustration.

Yinzuo said: "In that case, I'll write you a note too."

The biggest advantage of being a prince is that no matter which department in the court, he will not exceed his authority if he stretches out his hand to control it. The bones are hard, if you say you don't recognize it, you don't recognize it, but the note written by the crown prince is different.

Chang Yisheng hurriedly said: "This is not the meaning of being an official. If His Royal Highness wants to investigate, Mr. Wangcai will do it with a sentence. This is originally a matter of the lower official. The lower official is afraid that His Royal Highness will not know the reason for this. , causing trouble for no reason... After all, the prince has just been canonized, if this Yang Mansion is really related to that person, I'm afraid..." Although I really want this master to give him something to support him, but no matter what Don't let people think that he won't do things for him unless he gives a handbook to himself.

Yinzuo accepted his kindness, chuckled lightly, and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that people will say that I am narrow-minded and can't tolerate him? The whole world knows that I am at odds with him. What is there to avoid?"

When Yinreng was the prince, what should he do, but now that the two have exchanged positions, he has to be timid?

Ringing the bell called the butler to come in, said: "Send a few people to go to the Yang Mansion with Mr. Chang."

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Take Hong Fu with you."

Yinzuo had an ominous premonition. The young man turned on his incense burner and came out, and Chang Yisheng also went out in person. If these people could hand them over, they should have handed them over long ago. Girl, He Shuntian Mansion Yin insisted.

The butler was slightly stunned, and went down to make arrangements, and Chang Yisheng hurriedly followed suit.

After a while, the butler came back again and said, "Master, that kid Li Lu insists on going with him, you see?"

Li Lu?Yinzuo quickly realized that Li Lu was the boy's name, and said, "If you want to go, let him go."

"Wangcai said that Hong Fu listened to him the most, so..."

So go watch the excitement!How could Yin Zuo not know Wangcai's temperament?He said lightly: "Tell him, it's fine to go, but don't talk nonsense. If I come back, I know that he said anything to people outside the house, including Mr. Chang, so don't follow me anymore."

Wangcai is loyal to him, and is willing to endure hardships for him. The only shortcoming is that he likes to show off when he is successful, and if he doesn't suppress him a little, he will harm him.

The housekeeper responded.

Yinzuo read the book for a while, Wangcai and the others came back, and as soon as they entered the door, they said: "Master, the man has been found!"

Yinzuo saw that Wangcai's face was not happy, his heart sank, and he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Wangcai gritted his teeth and said, "Dead!"

He said again: "When we first went, they were still arrogant. Later, the guards showed the badges of the Prince's Mansion, and they faded away. Afterwards, the whole mansion was searched, but no one was found. Fortunately, the Lord brought them with him. Hong Fu went to find a place and dug up two corpses..."

Yinzuo was taken aback for a moment: "Two?"

Wangcai's face was very ugly, and he said: "Besides Li Lu's sister, there is also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and Li Lu's sister is a little better. That little girl doesn't even have a piece of good meat on her body. ...Master, my slaves dare not tell you, for fear that you will become angry... Sigh, I don't know how much I have suffered before I go...Master, you must not let them go!"

Wangcai cursed a few obscenities, then sighed: "Looking at them like that, let alone Li Lu, even the slaves are so angry that they want to jump up and bite those people twice, but they all pretend to be human. As if they were even more surprised than us! Master Chang took them all back, saying that now a murder case is involved, and they need to be interrogated carefully, and then asked Li Lu if his sister's body should be examined, and Li Lu said that he would discuss it with his brother ..."

"Seeing his sister, Li Lu almost cried to death. It's so pitiful. Master, I see that Li Lu is kind, righteous, and clever. Why don't you take him in? They are two brothers, young and physically fit. And weak, earning a few pennies every day at the pier against others, and being despised just like that, it's really pitiful to be hungry and full..."

After listening to him silently, Yin Zuo said: "Go back and ask him and his brother if they would like to go to Gewu School to study and learn crafts, and explain to them clearly that you can't be an official after studying, at most you can be a manager in the factory .”

Now that the case has become serious, these two people have already put his label on them, and they will not accept it.

Wangcai was overjoyed, and responded repeatedly, saying: "Then I'll go find him right now!"

Feeling wrong again, he said with a sneer: "Well, his sister has gone, and the servant is going to express his condolences..."

"Bring me 50 taels of silver, too."

"Hey!"

The next day, Yinzuo went to Qianqing Palace to order a Mao, read the book for half a day, had lunch with Kangxi, and then slipped away on the pretext of going to see a factory in the suburbs.

In the afternoon, Li Lu brought his brother Li Yang over to thank him. The brothers searched for someone for so long but failed to find anything. They also thought about this possibility. After going back and crying, they had no choice but to accept the reality.

The two people, with smiles on their faces but tears in their eyes, made Yinzuo feel sad when he saw it. Yinzuo clearly remembered that last winter, the two brothers were frozen to death in the snow. He sold his body to bury his father, just to exchange a few taels of silver for his sister's medical treatment. Now the illness is cured, but the person is gone...

They also brought back the message this time, Li Yang was willing to go to school to learn crafts, but Li Lu wanted to study seriously and take the imperial examination.

This was their own choice, Yin Zuo didn't talk too much, and gave them another 200 taels of silver to settle down, and sent someone to apply for their household registration in the capital.

In this way, Yinzuo, who has been deliberately not to win over his influence, now has his own disciples, but it is a pity that one is barely a workshop apprentice, and the other is a scholar who can only read a few words when he is fifteen or sixteen years old...

No one has come to Shuntian Mansion so far, and it seems that there is no progress. After thinking about it, Yinzuo sent someone to ask about Yinzhen's whereabouts, and ran to the Zongren Mansion to block him.

Yinzhen is always busier than him, especially now - Yinhu is not here, he not only has to manage the household department, but also helps to keep an eye on the criminal department, and now the case of Suo'etu comes out again - Yinzuo doubts that Yinzhen has With obsessive-compulsive disorder, you don't feel at ease unless you see it yourself. For a person who can't even be lazy, what fun is there in life?

Yin Zuo had already entered the door, so he drove a group of people out, and grabbed Yin Zhen who was about to salute: "Fourth brother, please help me!"

Yinzhen suddenly felt dizzy: "What's the matter?"

Sighing secretly, it's okay to do a favor, as long as you don't come to make trouble for him.For example, this time, the little ancestor was very happy, but without him getting in the way, Suo'etu died naturally, how could there be so many things?

Yin Zuo talked about the punctuation marks in general, and gave him a copy of the usage, saying: "Anyway, I can't write a good article that is well-known, and I don't know any good scholars who are willing to do it. , the one in your family, isn't that what? Let her silently write some good articles!"

It's a trivial matter, Yinzhen hummed: "Understood, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

After Yinzuo's lunch break the next day, Yinzhen sent a piece of "For Learning": "Is there anything difficult or easy in the world? If you do it, the difficult ones will also be easy; if you don't do it, the easy ones will also be difficult..."

Yin Zuo looked at it with open eyes and smiled: "This is good, those scholars will definitely like it. Fourth brother, your family is very good!"

As a student of accounting, I can memorize the articles I learned in junior high school to the present—that’s just a little bit worse than him.

Yinzhen said: "It's not her, I asked someone else to write it."

"Eno!"

Yinzuo reacted instantly, put the things in his pocket with a smile, and didn't ask whose masterpiece it was.

He also knows how to memorize this "Wei Xue", and the one who can write it now, except for Liu, is probably Yinzhen. I remember that "Wei Xue" was written during the Qianlong period, so he, the fourth brother, is it? Did the emperors after Qianlong wear them back? ——It’s really not good at reincarnation. If it was worn on Kangxi or Qianlong, it would take 60 years to make changes, but it happened to be worn by Yongzheng. This person only reigned for 13 years...

Yinzhen was very busy, so he left after talking with him. Not long after he left, Chang Yisheng came, and Yinzuo asked, "Is it possible to recruit?"

Chang Yisheng smiled wryly: "The lower officials are incompetent, they recruited, but..."

"fake?"

Chang Yisheng nodded, and said: "Everyone agrees that it was done by a family member... But how could He Mansion hide it for him, and even invited Prince Yu's letter?"

Yin Zuo's face gradually sank, and after a moment of pondering, he said slowly: "First, the important people are held in isolation, no one is allowed to visit, and they are interrogated separately. Second, the rest of the corpses may be thrown into the moat. How can you cheat them? You don't need me to teach you, do you?"

Chang Yisheng was stunned: "The rest of the corpses?"

Yinzuo said: "According to Wangcai's description, I think the person who did it should have a habit of venting his desires in such a perverted way. When you were chasing down the little girl of the Li family, he couldn't help but kill another girl." People, so I guess there should be more than these two victims. Then why only two bodies were found? Either it was too late to deal with it, or it was temporarily impossible to deal with it..."

Chang Yisheng suddenly said: "The little girl has been victimized for a month, so there is no problem of being too late, then it is temporarily impossible to deal with it - so they probably sunk the body in the moat in the past, which is convenient and concealed. Now The water in the moat froze and they temporarily buried the bodies."

Yinzuo nodded and said: "Third, check the population changes in their mansion, especially how many girls they bought. Fourth, check the guests who come and go to and from Yang's mansion."

Chang Yisheng nodded, Yang's mansion is locked up in prisons from the concierge to the girl and woman, it is very easy to check these things, he got up and said: "Does the prince have any other orders, if not, I will do it right away. "

Yin Zuo nodded, and ordered the housekeeper to send him out, his face became more and more ugly, and he smiled bitterly. This time, it may not be easy to bring the murderer to justice...

"Woooo... woo..."

Hong Fu's sobs dragged Yinzuo back to his thoughts, he lowered his head and patted its head: "What's wrong?"

Hong Fu bit his lapel and dragged it out, Yin Zuo pulled the clothes back and said, "Got it, I just go with you!"

Seeing the dots on the skirt at a glance, he said angrily: "What is this? Who fed you raw meat?"

A slap on Hong Fu's head: "How dare you bite my clothes after eating raw meat! If you dare to do this again, I will make you a monk!"

"Ouch..."

Hong Fu whimpered, dragged Yinzuo to the outside of its big kennel, motioned Yinzuo to look in, and then looked at Yinzuo aggrievedly: there are bad guys occupying the dog's kennel...

Yinzuo glanced at it, and was speechless: "What is this for? Killing a Suo'etu will make you like this? Going to the sea won't make you fall back like this, right?"

Chen Zhuo coughed up a mouthful of blood: "I'm going to die, can you save me?"

Yin Zuo patted Hong Fu on the head: "Go, catch a bigger living creature and come back."

With so much blood, it's not easy to clean it up quietly.
