[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

The author has something to say: Reminder: Double update today, this is the second update, be careful to miss the previous chapter

Half an hour after entering the prison, I walked out with a drawn statement.With this confession, let alone other people, the killer is dead.

Walking out of the prison and back to the horse, Kui Huangyi handed me a water bottle, and I took it and drank it.The smell in the prison made me feel bad, but drinking water made me feel better.

"Your eloquence is better than I imagined."

"No," I shook my head, "it's the right time, the right place, and the right people. I have the identity of the family member of the deceased, and my words carry more weight; he was tortured before, and you probably didn't give him drugs. The state must be in a low position; in the end, he is not a completely crazy person, but an ordinary person who has been driven into a desperate situation and his conscience is not lost." They take cases according to their preferences, and they will commit suicide, which shows his character, "So I It will be successful. In fact, what I said is still a bunch of useless words.”

He looked at me a few times, then got on his horse and stretched out his hand to pull me up.

"drive!"

He sent me back to Zhangfu.While sitting on the horse, I could see the door of Zhangfu was wide open and brightly lit from a distance.When I got closer, I saw three people sitting on the stone steps in front of the door waiting for someone.

With a swipe, my tears flowed down.

──My father and two teachers are here, from the distant Heizhou.

"Wow!" Kui Huangyi stopped the horse and helped me off the horse.

"Xiao Xiaolan! Where the hell have you been for so long? I'm so cold!" Lin Mu jumped up and shouted.

Li Wenxian was still sitting, smiled at me, and waved.

The white-haired father stood up and opened his hands to me, "Welcome home."

I pursed my lips, then lifted the hem of my skirt, and flew towards my father.

"Yes, my father is here." My father ran down my long hair, "Zelan has done a good job, good, huh? I know everything, I know that Jietong is gone, I know that Feixiang is not by your side now, I know that Zhong Madam beat you, I know it all. Just leave the rest to me, and you are responsible for crying well.”

I grabbed my father's clothes, buried my head and burst into tears, crying hoarsely.

The arrival of my father has indeed lightened the burden on me a lot. The daily operation of the Zhang family business can be completely handed over to my father. In the days to come, I only need to continue to handle the newly established Zhang family business.Lin Mu and Li Wenxian occupied the Huzhong Pavilion in the courtyard, and continued their ten-year chess game, with a student beside them—the grandson of Fang Baili, the director of the Heizhou All-Commerce Federation that I recommended in the past, Cui Changfeng is only ten years old this year.

One morning, I was leaning against the window of the study with a cup of hot tea in my hand, and saw Mrs. Zhong and my father walking in the courtyard talking and laughing.

"What's wrong?" Kui Huangyi stood behind me.

I pointed my finger at my father, "At first I thought that with their tempers, they would definitely quarrel." But I didn't expect my father to say nothing about Mrs. Zhong's beating me, but to be polite to her. Let Mrs. Zhong introduce him as a close friend.What, I don't have to worry about it at all.I sighed, "In the end, am I the only one to be worried?"

"Today's attitude is quite modest."

"...Why do I always feel that you are the one who should be said that?"

"Should I introduce an imperial doctor to look at your eyes? Although I don't think it will have much effect."

"Miss Aoi, you are hurting yourself by being angry." She taunted people in different ways all day long, and be careful that she would become the Mediterranean Sea.

"If you cry too much, you will hurt yourself."

I looked back at him, he was looking at me with his hands behind his back, expressionless.

"Master Aoi, you've made up your mind." I've gotten better since I cried aloud with my father a few days ago, but I think some things still need time to clear up.

"The National Examination has already begun," he walked back to the desk, "it's just that the evidence is not enough."

"Do you want to close the case before the results are announced?" I also walked to his side and looked at the map of Guiyang City spread out on the table.

"No, I originally wanted to close the case before the exam, but in order to attract all the killers, there is not enough time, and I can't catch up with the exam."

"In order to reduce the confusion caused by this selection process, you hope to be at least before the palace examination?" Many scholars will be deposed after the incident, Kui Huangyi is trying to minimize the confusion caused.It's okay if you can't make it in time for the exam, but if you close the case before the palace exam starts, at least you can have a certain amount of time to rearrange the final ranking.

He nodded slightly, "The killers have all been arrested, but their one-sided words are not enough."

I paused, "The ghost in the dormitory, the one who pretended to be Zizhou state test No.2 Liu Zimei was also arrested?"

"Well, he was caught when he assassinated Zheng Youshun. He was not the murderer. The one who killed Zhong Jietong was another killer who pretended to be an examinee, and he was also caught."

I slightly turned my face away, "Is the killer still in the candidates?" There are two ghosts this year. "The suspicious dormitory staff we suspected earlier, have you got any results?"

"I checked them again and arrested them. Some of them were involved in the national exam cheating case, but they had nothing to do with officials. I have already handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The other part is also related to this case. They are responsible for helping the killer and the people in the city to pass the news .”

I swiped my finger back and forth on the location of Huajie on the map, "I can't figure it out, how do the people in the upper ranks use the people in the city to help them cover?" What is the bait? "Moreover, since there is news transmission between the killer and the people in the city, the gambling game of the national examination is not only a folk game that is passively used as a shield, but is deeply involved. The person who set up the gambling game is involved in this What kind of role do you play?"

Kui Huangyi glanced at me, "That's the next step." He also put his finger on the flower street and tapped twice, "The next thing we want to capture is the gangsters in Guiyang. Evidence of manipulating the results of the national examination has been obtained."

"You want me to take care of this part?"

"Can it be done? If you can't do it, don't accept it, dare to hold me back..."

"Do you want me to hang the southeast branch by myself?" I said angrily, "Or do you want to throw me to feed the pandas?"

"No," he crossed his arms, "Pandas probably will dislike you, you'd better jump off the moat and die to thank the world for being clean. Let me explain first, I really messed up my business, I don't guarantee that I will take your dead body Pick up and whip the corpse to vent your anger."

I drooped my shoulders weakly, "..." Does it mean that death will not make me feel better? "Master Aoi, the content of your recent speech has become more and more bloody and violent."

"Are you dissatisfied?"

"I don't dare." I sighed and turned my gaze back to the map. "I can deal with it, but you need to support me."

"what do you need?"

"Do you have the ability to provoke all the gangsters in Guiyang?"

He pulled one corner of his mouth and smiled viciously, "I won't do such a stupid thing."

Can't do it, but he has the ability.

This is the so-called non-combat between the people and the government.No matter how powerful the gangsters are, what can they do if the officials make up their minds and the army suppresses the situation?It's just because of interests, no one will do this.I looked at him and said, "I won't really do this, but you have to have a bargaining chip in your hand before you can talk."

"You want me to give you a promise that won't be fulfilled?" He raised his chin slightly, "That killer is right, madman. You are a white wolf with empty gloves, and you will know how stupid you are if you are bitten back." Although he Saying so, but there was no trace of objection in his expression.

I really mean I'm used to it.

"Leave me alone. In short, the killer and the city are taken down, and the last one is still owed, the evidence of the officials. Who gave the instructions to Dali Temple over the years to let them use the ghost as an excuse to close the case of the scholar's death hastily If you get all this evidence, you're done. Of course, if you bring in Xiandong Province and ask them to issue a certificate that Guiyang has no ghosts, it will be more perfect." Whether there are ghosts is not the point, but adding The documents of Xiandong Province used the opportunity to increase the weight of the case, and that was the point.This is the hint that Li Wenxian gave me.

"Do you want to add Xiandong Province? They are all troublesome guys." He rubbed his forehead and complained softly, "Don't worry about the others, just obediently get the things under the city. .I created the illusion of mobilizing soldiers and horses under the city for you, and that’s all. I won’t care about you if you die there.”

I turned around and walked to a locked bookshelf, took out the key I kept in my arms to unlock it, and took out the copy of the entry and exit records of the preparatory dormitory that I had copied earlier and the finishing reports for the past few days, and handed them over to Kui Huangyi.

"I can't get involved in official affairs, so I'll leave it to you."

"Didn't you distrust the officials? Why did you suddenly change your attitude?"

"Master Aoi, are you talking to me as an official?" I put the lock and key that no longer worked on the table. There is no necessary relationship."

He narrowed his eyes and paused before saying, "Do you trust me?"

"Can I?" Just this time.Without the help of other parties, I am not sure that I will find out all those who killed Jietong.

Kui Huangyi picked up his things, turned around and strode away, "That's my case."

I leaned against the edge of the table and lowered my eyes.I can trust his ability, he will never make a reckless move, and the shot must be a hit.Since he has taken a fancy to this case, at least I can rest assured that it will be closed.I took a deep breath, leaned on the edge of the table and sat down on the chair, rested my forehead with my hands, closed my eyes and meditated.

Just do the next work well.

There was a bird chirping outside, and I looked up, and the sunlight outside the window was shining straight in.I squinted my eyes, got up and walked to the window to look down.The people outside still played their chess and talked about their world, and the servants of the Zhang family also walked back and forth, sweeping the corridors and gardens.Kui Huangyi, who was walking out on the stone road, stopped by the flowers under the small bridge by the lake.

The purple-blue, rough-grown February blue has just begun to bloom, bringing a touch of bright color to the winter garden.

Kui Huangyi raised his head and looked at me as if feeling something.

I bowed to him, he nodded to me, and walked out again.

I held on to the window frame in a daze for a while, then Qingzao pushed the door open and entered.

"Miss, Miss Lily from the Red Mansion is here."

"Invite Ms. Lily into the lobby of the outer courtyard. I'll come right after I change my clothes."

"Hey!"

It just so happens that I also have something I want to ask the Hong Mansion for help.

After I changed into my clothes for meeting guests, I walked to the outer courtyard, "Hi, Miss Lily, I've been waiting for a long time."

"No," she said with a smile, "I interrupted."

I stretched out my hand to ask for a seat, Qingzao held the tray and offered tea.

"It's the newly harvested Longjing in Lanzhou," she picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It seems that Ms. Zhang has decided on the direction of Zhang's family?"

"It's just a matter of meeting the right Zhuangzi by chance." I shook my head lightly.

"At first, I thought that there would be a chance for Ms. Zhang to develop in Hongzhou. Although the cooperation failed, the Hong family is still willing to help."

I look at her.The implication is that she offered to help me.

Also a considerate lady.

I turned my face away for a while, gathered myself together, and continued: "I really have something to ask from the Hong family, and I planned to come to ask for it." Unexpectedly, she came to visit first, "This time, please." I Stand up and bless her.

Lily also stood up, and stretched out her hand to help me up, "Don't say that, Mr. Zhong is a friend of that capricious young master of my family, I should do something too."

I shook my head again.No one should do anything, this is the wish of the Red Mansion.

"Miss Lily, I don't know if I can ask you to reduce the purchase and supply of Flower Street and maintain it at a barely operating stage?" This will not only have the effect of intimidation, but also not excessively damage the Hong family's business.

"No problem." She agreed quickly, "Is there anything else I can do?"

"I'm not familiar with Guiyang's situation. I want to ask, after the Hong family's actions, will other families that control Guiyang's purchases have other actions?"

"The Hong family's comprehensive actions represent our attitude. Small merchants will stay on the sidelines for the time being and will not make any other moves. As for the Lan family, whose power can compete with the Hong family, their suzerain is now in the capital. Since the Hong family is Knowing about the state test assassination case, they have no reason not to know, I don’t think they will intervene without authorization, Miss Zhang can rest assured.”

I tilted my head, "Although I also thought about leaking the news, but the matter has developed to this point, I think the fact that this case has been taken over by Yu Shitai can no longer be covered?" Will it affect Kui Huangyi's actions?

"It doesn't matter." Lily said softly, "Wang knows, the Hong family knows, and the Lan family knows, it doesn't mean that other people also know."

This is the top game.I didn't ask any more questions, just nodded to Lily, "I understand. Thank you very much."

"One more thing." Lily smiled, "There is also someone from the direct line of the Huang family. The other party is the secretary of the General Chamber of Commerce, the second son of the direct line of the Huang family, and the second elder brother of Huang Fengzhu. I believe that Mr. Fengzhu also came with him. His brother said hello." That said, I was able to get help from the Huang family.

The end of this round seems to be going smoothly unexpectedly, all thanks to Jietong being a silly scholar who asks his friends to help.

In just two short months of getting along, we have gained so much goodwill.

After sending Lily away, I immediately asked someone to go to Huang's house to post a greeting, and begged to come to the door.The other party didn't put on airs, and there was a reply at noon, and I took people to Guiyang Huangfu in the afternoon.The Assassin Group was captured, I believe the other party will always be aware of some clues, so it is better to cut through the mess quickly in the subsequent actions.

When he came out of the Huangfu, it was already completely dark.

"Miss, are you going back?" Qingzao helped me open the car curtain.

"No, go to Flower Street."

"Miss! You didn't even change your clothes and went to Huajie in Zhang's sedan chair? How can this be done?"

"What's wrong?" I patted her hand and said softly, "Is there anyone in Guiyang who doesn't know that Zhang's girl is a lunatic? I just don't know, just take the scene where Mrs. Zhong made a fuss at the city gate , I don’t need to say anything about boudoir reputation anymore. Then there is no need to be tied up because of these things.”

"But... I don't care anymore!"

"Just don't worry about it." I turned around and called out to the servant Awen who was following me, "Awen, you send Qingzao home first, and then go tell Mrs. Kui that I will come to the house later .”

"Miss!" Qingzao jumped.

"Okay, be obedient, you have to go home and prepare. The three-day test will end tomorrow, and we have to pick up the second young master. You go and prepare the supplies first, huh?"

"Yes~~~~~! Where is it better for Guan Erye to live? I think it will be arranged next to the master? He likes to be more lively, and he probably doesn't want to live in a courtyard by himself."

"Well, you can arrange it." Qingzao is trustworthy in handling things, so I stopped talking, turned around and got into the sedan chair, and set off for Huajie.

I parked the sedan chair at the entrance of Flower Street and walked down, followed by Wang Dali, Xiao Xiao and dozens of servants who had been waiting here for a long time.As soon as I was about to walk in, people on the road looked at me strangely.I walked on by myself.

"Hey, little girl," a hooligan stopped me, "this is not a place for you. If you want to catch rape, don't make trouble here." Everyone around him laughed.

When their laughter died down, I said, "I want to see your leader, is that okay?"

"Our leader is the one you want to meet? Fuck!"

"Don't you see? What will happen in the future, please don't blame me." I looked at the hooligans who gradually surrounded me.I brought so many people with me, and I knew at a glance that they were here to make trouble, and their reactions were normal.

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and another hooligan who seemed to be of some status came out and cupped his hands at me, "Girl, it's dark when we do business, and you blocked the entrance of Huajie like this, Isn’t that good? Cutting off someone’s fortune is like killing one’s parents.”

I bowed to him, "Brother, I wanted to meet the leader of Guiyang, but I couldn't get in, so I used this method, and I hope Haihan."

"You are?"

"I am Zelan Zhang, a small businessman from Heizhou."

He frowned when he heard that, "Miss Zhang's family has been making frequent moves in the past month, threatening to avenge her fiancé."

"It's just that I'm not here."

"What? Do you want to set fire to our gang in Guiyang this time? Little girl, I advise you not to mess around."

"I heard that Guiyang has always had a bet on the national examination rankings, so I was very interested and came here to ask for advice."

"You do know a lot."

I rolled up my sleeves, "Then can I see your leader?"

He pondered for a while, "Which one do you want to see?"

I tilted my head, "Who?"

"Hey! Are you playing tricks! Who doesn't know that we have ten leaders in Guiyang!" Everyone clamored and even shrunk the encirclement.

The members of Zhang's family also gathered around, and there were over a hundred people gathered at the entrance of Huajie.

Bang bang bang bang, a large group of people from the Guiyang police station arrived with knives, the other onlookers were dispersed, and the policemen squeezed in to horizontally separate Kaizhang's house and Huajie people.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing here? Huh?" Fifth cousin Zhang Zechi was wearing an official uniform, with his right hand resting on the big knife at his waist, "Are you making trouble? What's going on? Ah!" He walked into the center and shouted drank.

I rolled up my sleeves and didn't speak.

The hooligan I talked to just now bowed his hand to Zhang Zechi again, "Master Zhang, it's not the first day we've been in this area. When did we cause trouble for your Guiyang government office? Didn't someone come looking for you?" I'm in trouble."

Zhang Zechi, who had passed me for a long time, pretended to be ignorant, and turned to me, "What the hell are you doing? Huh? Go home insane! Your fifth cousin, I'm not dead yet!"

I still bowed my head and didn't speak.

The hooligan let out a cry, "So it's the sister of Lord Zhang's family? I said, I can't write two chapters in one stroke. It turns out that the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple!"

"Tuesday," Zhang Zechi said in a cold voice, "Don't give this to Master Zhang! I won't eat it! Zelan, you go back too! Take it as a shame to me today, you two are separated, or don't blame me for arresting people!"

I blessed the body in the direction of Huajie, "Today Zhang's Zelan has offended many people, but I believe that in the future, Zhang's mansion is waiting for the leader of Guiyang. Anyone can make up his mind, whether it is the ten bosses or the big one." Boss, I have no objection either."

A hooligan next to him yelled: "Fuck you bitch! How did you talk! Our leader is also what you can say like that?" They clamored again.

"Okay!" Zhang Zechi shouted.

I stretched my body once again, then turned around and got into the sedan chair to leave, turning to Kui Mansion.

I didn't intend to see anyone today, I just came to knock on the gong, the best show is yet to come.

Wang Dali outside the sedan chair shouted loudly: "Get up the sedan chair!"
