I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Han Qi is the only official with the surname Han in Kaifeng Mansion.

After hearing the words, everyone couldn't help but look at Han Qi.

Han Qi was staring up at the sycamore tree, with vermilion skirts hanging down to complement his white skin. His tall figure was like a majestic jade mountain, and his appearance was so pleasing to the eye that he could be painted.

Everyone instantly forgot their original purpose and turned to simply admiring Han Qi's beauty.

Especially the Miao family, she noticed that there was such a handsome official in the courtyard, his eyes could not wait to stick to Han Qi.

Han Qi felt the gazes around him, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he turned to look sideways at everyone.

Miao couldn't help but grabbed Zhu Dazhuang's back skirt excitedly.God, he looks so good-looking too!

Zhu Dazhuang regained his senses because of the pain, and was so angry that he dragged Miao away, urging her to go home and make breakfast.

"What's the matter?" Han Qi asked.

"Some people say that before Yang's death, she cried and said that she wanted to sue Han Tuiguan." Cui Tao explained.

Han Qi didn't have any reaction to this, obviously it's not worth his time to explain this kind of thing.He raised his finger and pointed at the branch of the sycamore tree.

Cui Tao looked up and found a rag hanging on the branch of the tree, and there were wide friction marks on the thick branch of the tree where the rope was hung.

Cui Tao asked someone to fill a sandbag with the weight of the deceased Yang's, tied it with a rope, and handed it to Wang Zhao.Wang Zhao pulled up the sandbag two or three times, leaving only two rubbing marks on the tree branch.Try another yamen servant who is weaker than Wang Zhao. He is more strenuous when pulling the corpse, so the friction marks left on the branch are wider and wider, but compared with the marks left by the murderer, it is still not enough.

This shows that the murderer's strength is not great, far less than that of a normal and healthy adult man.

The rags from the branches are white, sackcloth.Many people will wear white linen clothes, and it is impossible to find the murderer just by this.

Liu Wuzuo said that Qian Tongshun's neck injury was indeed caused during his lifetime, which is completely different from Yang's hanging.

Li Yuan led people to carefully inspect all the places in the house, and made detailed drawings and records, especially noting that there were no traces of dragging in the courtyard.

"The deceased was wearing a coat and was killed at night. If a man had visited, he would not have been so negligent. In addition to the traces of the tree branch, it shows that the murderer is not strong enough, which further proves that the murderer should be a woman. It is probably The woman the deceased knew made the deceased so relaxed." Wang Zhao pondered.

Li Yuan agreed: "The two probably knew each other. The murderer came to find Yang Shi on the pretext that he had something to do, but it didn't arouse Yang Shi's precautions. Just under this plane tree, the murderer directly attacked Yang Shi, so the corpse was not dragged in the yard. Mark of."

After listening silently, Han Qi looked at Cui Tao.From just now, Cui Tao held his chin and looked around the house from left to right, and seemed to have discovered a big secret.

Just now Wang Zhao and Li Yuan's inferences were too ordinary, Han Qi didn't think it was new, but he was looking forward to Cui Tao's new discoveries.

"This house is interesting." Cui Tao said.

"Oh?"

"The front is wide and the rear is narrow, like a fan, which is a fierce face. Yin and Yang are out of balance, which is not conducive to gathering wealth and raising children." Cui Tao sighed, "It's no wonder that Doctor Qian lost his job, and their husband and wife have no children."

Han Qi: "..."

I thought Cui Tao would talk about some new ideas related to the case, but I didn't expect her to be involved in Feng Shui.

"It's so strange, why not build a square house?" Cui Tao wondered.

Han Qi was not interested in continuing to listen, so turned around and left.

Cui Tao chased after Han Qi: "Don't believe the official Han, I said last time that there was a bloody disaster, it was very accurate! Qian Tongshun died, and I was attacked. This method of divination and feng shui seems to be unreasonable." In fact, numbers, qi, and phenomena can change. Just like the principle of the full moon and the tide, if you can understand the secrets of it, you will be invincible."

"According to what you mean, the feng shui of this house is too fierce, killing their husband and wife?" Han Qi asked back.

"I can't rule out the possibility." Cui Taote nodded seriously to Han Qi.

Han Qi: "Fengshui is credible, but there is no serious trouble if you don't believe it. The perpetrator must be a person, not Fengshui."

"I didn't say it wasn't a human being, it was probably a person influenced by Feng Shui." Cui Tao insisted on his theory.

There was no point in theory, so Han Qi sent Cui Tao to follow the car that transported the corpse back to Kaifeng Mansion to conduct a second autopsy as soon as possible.

Now he is sober, unlike in the morning when Cui Tao couldn't keep his eyes open. While riding a horse, Cui Tao casually looked at the people in the alley, frowning more and more as he looked.She simply turned the horse's head and walked straight back.

Han Qi is explaining Wang Zhao's next investigation direction in front of the house.When they saw Cui Tao came back, they felt strange.Wang Zhao hurriedly asked Cui Tao why, but Cui Tao ignored him, looked straight ahead, and passed in front of them.

The yamen servants who were in charge of guarding Cui Tao all followed after seeing this, and made a gesture to draw their knives, thinking that Cui Tao was going to escape from prison.

Han Qi raised his hand as a signal, and the two yamen servants put away their knives.

Cui Tao rode his horse all the way to the end of Xinghua Lane, then turned around and came back.

"What kind of Xinghua Alley is this? It's clearly a ghost alley, full of villains' houses." Cui Tao casually pointed to a house not far away.

Han Qi and Wang Zhao both got on their horses at this time, and followed what Cui Tao pointed out.

"The house is square, not fan-shaped as you just said, so why is it so fierce?" Wang Zhao asked puzzled.

"That's the 'House of Cold Shoulders'. The roof is high in the middle and the sides collapse. It is easy for the whole body to lack vitality and suffer disasters. The house next to it has a zigzagging water shape, and the yang is strong and the yin is weak. The house next to it has two new buildings behind the main house. The house, shaped like a cart, is a cart house, and the Yi family is ruined. There are dead character houses, exposed ridge houses, leaking star houses, T-shaped houses... In short, there is no house in this alley with normal Feng Shui." ①

After hearing Cui Tao's words, everyone felt creepy and fell silent for a while.

Wang Zhao is a big man with a hulking back and a strong back. He is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of things like ghosts, because these things cannot be solved by force alone.

Occasionally there is a villa in this alley, it can be said to be a coincidence, the whole alley is the same house, what other explanation can there be besides being haunted?

Thinking of this, Wang Zhao and the others felt their backs trembling and goosebumps all over their bodies.

Han Qi also felt that this was strange, and it couldn't be a coincidence.

Han Qi ordered Wang Zhao to take someone to investigate the situation of each household in Xinghua Lane when they first built their houses. If someone deliberately did this, there must be something in common.

Cui Tao then gave Han Qi a flattering look, and the meaning of "a villain's success" is obvious: Look, I'm right again!Does it work?Does it work?

Han Qi looked at Cui Tao's appearance, and snorted and laughed, but the emotional expression of this smile was very weak, making it difficult to figure out whether he was simply laughing, sneering, or mocking.

"You go back to the prison tonight," Han Qi said.

When she heard Han Qi's words suddenly, her face collapsed.No way, this is a public revenge?

"Miss Cui, don't get me wrong." Wang Zhao explained to Cui Tao with a smile that it was an undercover job, and he had to put on a good show so that she and Ping'er would be released from prison together, which would be more realistic.

Cui Tao nodded knowingly, and asked Han Qi, "Then if I get things done this time, what reward will I get?"

The reward she received last time was an a la carte benefit of less than [-] Wen per day.The case of Tianji Pavilion this time is obviously more important, so the reward should be bigger than the previous one.

"Already rewarded." Han Qi said lightly.

Cui Tao scratched her head, full of doubts: "What's the reward? Why didn't I receive it?"

"I allow you to be called my lord." Han Qi said in a serious manner, as if this was really a great reward.

Cui Tao was stunned for a moment, and when she regained consciousness, Han Qi had already rode away.Cui Tao couldn't help scolding him for being shameless.Calling him my lord was clearly letting him take advantage, but he actually regarded it as a kind of 'reward' to her.

When it comes to dogs, who can beat Han Tuiguan?No, no, he is invincible.

When Cui Tao Yang conducted the second autopsy, it took a lot of time at first, but still failed to find the cause of Yang's death.She couldn't figure it out for a while, so she almost went straight to the knife for anatomy.

Later, she moved the body to the sun, and checked again carefully the small and easily overlooked places, and finally found that there seemed to be something in Yang's left ear.Immediately, using the smallest bamboo tweezers, slowly pulled out a two-inch long silver needle from Yang's ear hole.

Very subtle way of killing!The murderer must be proficient in this, so that he can accurately insert the silver needle into the ear hole of the deceased when the deceased is awake.

Cui Tao put the removed silver needle on the white cloth, then arranged Yang's clothes and covered them with a straw mat.She immediately asked someone to call Liu Wuzuo, saying that she wanted to check Qian Tongshun's body.

Liu Wuzuo felt a little dissatisfied that Cui Tao questioned his autopsy results.To be questioned about his ability to eat by a guilty female prisoner is not a shameful thing, even a humiliation.

Liu Yuzuo immediately darkened his face and asked Cui Tao in a bad tone: "What are you? Why do you order me? I really thought that I helped Han Tuiguan solve two cases, it would be great, and I can be a threat in the mortuary. Blessed? I don’t even think about my identity! That is, Zhang Wenpo is honest, she was pushed out by you, and she followed Judge Wang, so she didn’t dare to say a word. If it was me, I would have beaten you to death with a mallet."

The clerks in the yamen also pay attention to decency. As the saying goes, "the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate", it is naturally more honorable to work with high-ranking Han Tui officials than with lower-level judges Wang.When Zhang Wenpo was transferred away, many people in the yamen who had a close relationship with her complained about her injustice, and Liu Wuzuo was one of them.He already looked down on Cui Tao, and even looked down on her, but now that she dared to provoke him, she couldn't control her anger.

After Cui Tao quietly listened to Liu Yuzuo's words, she still stared at him with dark eyes, like a child who couldn't understand what an adult said.

"Let's have a look." Cui Tao said.

Liu Wuzuo was shocked. He had never seen such a thick-skinned person who turned a deaf ear to other people's ridicule. The feeling of being ignored made him even angrier.

"no!"

"Let's take a look." Cui Tao continued to repeat, still maintaining her initial attitude.

"If I say no, then I won't! Don't you understand! I will examine Qian Tongshun's body, and you can't make the decision!" Liu Wuzuo yelled at Cui Tao angrily after being impatient with Cui Tao's temper.

This autopsy seemed to take a long time. Li Yuan was ordered by Han Qi to come to the morgue to see Cui Tao's autopsy.As a result, before the person arrived, he heard Liu Yuzuo's unfavorable attitude towards Cui Tao roaring from a distance.

"I think it's time to take a look." Cui Tao's voice became softer this time, softer and more melodious.

But to Liu Wuzuo, this is tantamount to Cui Tao's provocation deliberately pretending to be stupid, "You are deaf and can't understand me? Get out, get out!"

Cui Tao still looked at Liu Yuzuo with her dark eyes, and her eyes turned red in an instant, with tears hanging on her face.

Li Yuan was so angry that he rushed straight into the mortuary, and seeing Cui Tao being wronged again, he glared at Liu Yuzuo angrily, and scolded him for not doing so.

Liu Yuzuo panicked for a moment, and then calmly told Li Yuan that it was Cui Tao who was unruly and wanted to examine the corpse under his jurisdiction without authorization.

"Come on, come with me to report to Officer Han Tui." Li Yuan said to Cui Tao.

Cui Tao silently took the corpse list she had written, took the silver needle, and then went to see Han Qi to explain the situation.And told Han Qi that she suspected that Qian Tongshun might also have the same silver needle in his ear.

"Suspicious?" Han Qi was obviously questioning why Cui Tao didn't check Qian Tongshun's body in the morgue.

"Doctor Qian's body will not be returned to my concubine for examination." Cui Tao replied very officially.

Li Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up immediately, and said to Han Qi with righteous indignation: "It's not like that at all. She wanted to test it, but Liu Yu made malicious remarks and forbade her to do it."

Han Qi stared intently at Cui Tao, and sent Wang Zhao to take Cui Tao back to the mortuary, passing his order to inspect Qian Tongshun's body again.

The moment Cui Tao took out the silver needle from Qian Tongshun's left ear, Liu Wuzuo's face froze instantly, his face was completely pale, and he was embarrassed and embarrassed.

Wang Zhao glared at Liu Wuzuo dissatisfied, and turned back with Cui Tao.

"Since the husband and wife were both stabbed in the brain with silver needles, why did one hang himself alive and the other hang himself after death?" Han Qi asked Cui Tao.

"Sometimes this kind of stabbing does not result in instant death. There are also cases of death after one or two sticks of incense. Qian Tongshun happened to be in a state of being alive before being hanged."

After Cui Tao explained obediently, she backed away silently, not as lively as usual.

Han Qi took two sips of tea silently.

Wang Zhao and Li Yuan, who were beside them, couldn't bear it any longer. They each complained about Cui Tao's grievances, and felt that Liu Yuzuo should be dealt with.

"Leaving Zhang Wenpo and Liu Wuzuo will only make it difficult for her to do well in the government office." Han Qi put down his teacup and said softly.

This is also the reason Wang Zhao thinks about. After all, Cui Tao's status is low. If the official Han Tui repeatedly punishes the elderly in the government office for her, it will indeed easily arouse public indignation.

"Then this is over?" Li Yuan was really angry, as if his daughter was being bullied.

"Find other mistakes in a few days and send them out."

Han Qi calmly looked at the two people whose faces were full of anger, and couldn't help laughing hoarsely.Even for him, Cui Tao has never suffered a disadvantage, how could he swallow his anger just because of Liu Yu's actions?These two people were 'calculated' without knowing it.However, Han Qi didn't intend to expose it. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing that two people in the government office treated Cui Tao sincerely.

In the evening, Cui Tao swaggered back to the prison, and 'reminisced' with Wang Siniang and Ping'er.

Wang Siniang is now afraid and respectful of Cui Tao in her heart, so she hastened to greet Cui Tao warmly.

Ping'er huddled in the corner, staring at Cui Tao defensively, just like before, but she was not as fresh as before.

Wang Siniang gave Cui Tao the cleanest place to rest, and then smiled and asked Cui Tao what she needed, and he could just beat her back and squeeze her shoulders.

"You're welcome, just rest when you should."

At dinner time, both Wang Siniang and Ping'er ate the food provided by the official.Cui Tao knew that she could eat some of the dishes that came, but she never expected her dishes to be so rich when they arrived.

Steamed leg of lamb, roasted venison, bird's nest, sea cucumber... these are not meals that can be bought for five hundred dollars.

Cui Tao asked the jailer carefully, and found out that the meal was given by her family.

"What family?"

"Cui Jiuniang."

As soon as Cui Tao heard this answer, she immediately put down the chopsticks she picked up.Ask the jailer to take all the food away, but she won't eat it.

"But the person who brought you the food has already left, and he hasn't returned yet."

"Then throw it away."

"Hey, don't throw it away, there are so many delicacies from mountains and seas, Madam Cui won't eat them, can you give them to us?" Wang Siniang asked greedily on behalf of the female prisoners.

"You can say whatever you want, but you can't eat casually, maybe you will die."

Cui Tao bothered the jailer to pour out all the food.

The jailer left with the food box.

Half an hour later, something happened in the prison, and three guards died of poisoning.
