Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

Before Jun Ziyou woke up, the quilt was pulled, and the pillow was thrown under the bed. There was a black bump on his forehead at the corner of the bed. It was difficult not to wake up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Steward Liu's angry face in front of him, Jun Ziyou shivered, wrapped himself in the quilt and turned over to go to bed again, but his ears were grabbed and screamed in pain.

"It hurts! What did I do wrong again!"

"What did you do wrong? You poked the sky out of the hole, and now the Ministry of Justice is looking for you, what are you going to do!!"

When he heard about the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the gentleman panicked. Isn't that the official office that investigates murder cases and imposes the death penalty?Could it be that he saved Yun Jin's life, did he really block someone's way, and the other party is going to get rid of him today?

"Steward Liu, you have to tell the lord that you have to save me. The lord knows about this. He is half an accomplice, a grasshopper on a rope. If I disappear, he will Not much better..."

Steward Liu, who was full of nonsense, raised his hand and slapped him. After he shut up, he pulled him up, washed and changed his clothes, changed into a dog-like outfit, and pushed him to the front hall of the palace to receive guests. .

"Be smarter later, if you dare to say a word wrong, I'll screw your dog's head!"

Threatened by Butler Liu, and seeing a strange person sitting upright in the hall, and a dozen guards with knives guarding outside, Jun Ziyou panicked, and he knelt down to Xiao Beicheng who was sitting in the front seat without saying a word. After getting off, the visitor was also taken aback.

"My lord, this is..."

"Don't be surprised by Ye Shangshu. I invited this gentleman from Gusu. He is very grateful for the kindness of my king, and he is very grateful for his support. He will do this gift every morning when he comes to pay his respects. Junziyou, see you soon Passed Ye Lanchen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments."

It sounded like he didn't mean to blame him, Jun Ziyou took the courage to give someone a bow, and thought that this person didn't seem to be targeting him...

Xiao Beicheng waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and waited until the servant girl brought the tea before he said to Ye Lanchen: "Then what happened yesterday, and how did it get involved with Prince Jin's mansion, please let Ye Shangshu tell you. "

"Then I won't make any more detours, I dare to ask Mr. Jun yesterday, has he ever been to the mass grave in the west of the city?"

Junzi Youting was startled, the tea in his hand spilled out.

Since the other party spoke straightforwardly, it means that he has already found out what he did, and covering up will make people feel more suspicious, so he nodded.

"I have been there."

Just when he was thinking about what reason he should use to explain that he had been to that ghostly place, so as not to appear disobedient, Ye Lanchen suddenly changed the subject.

"That's it. Mr. Jun, don't panic. I'm here today to testify for you. There was a murder case in the capital yesterday, and the victim was a girl from Hualou. It is said that the status of the third-rate people is low. If he died, he would only enter the file in the Ministry of Criminal Justice to record his name, and he would not investigate the case to the bottom, but the identity of the one who died yesterday was not ordinary, so Mr. Lao Lao came with me. "

Hearing what he said, Jun Ziyou immediately remembered the half of the woman's arm he saw yesterday when he was digging, and thought of all the details, he reckoned that it was the one he was talking about.

But compared to his own situation, he had other things that he was more concerned about. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Dare to ask Mr. Ye, usually these third-rate people will not investigate the case thoroughly even if they are dead?"

Ye Lanchen never looked at Junziyou directly, but he was very interested in hearing his words. Looking at his appearance, he saw that he was a weak and weak scholar who could only read rote books and didn't understand the dangers of the world.

But in front of Xiao Beicheng, he couldn't tell the truth directly, so he smiled and said, "Of course not, but the Ministry of Criminal Justice has large and small cases every day, and I can't let the judge personally try every case. Those are relatively unimportant. Yes, it will be handed over to juniors with little experience for a thorough investigation, or handed over to the government office for trial, it is normal for the progress to be slower."

Jun Ziyou didn't say anything else, he looked at Xiao Beicheng, and the man let go of his understanding, "In that case, let's go back early, my king is injured, so I can't accompany you, let Shenci accompany you to the west of the city , how are you?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your understanding."

With Shen Ci following him, Jun Ziyou gained more confidence, and before he left, he saw Xiao Beicheng winking at him, but he didn't quite understand the meaning, it was nothing more than reminding him not to cause trouble.

He went all the way to the west of the city, and he didn't think deeply about how he was caught by the fox's tail. It seemed that Xiao Beicheng really didn't lie to him. No matter the young master or his dark crow, they all had hands and eyes in the capital.

When they arrived at the random graveyard, there were already officials from the Ministry of Punishment cleaning up the scene, moving the coffins that had been piled up indiscriminately to one side, and specially drew lines around them with white ash to prevent idlers from entering.

Jun Ziyou caught a glimpse of the mahogany coffin that nearly suffocated Yun Jin in it yesterday, and he was afraid that Ye Lanchen would mention the reason why he came here, and try to divert his attention.

"Hey, Master Ye, I shouldn't talk too much about this, but everyone has a sense of curiosity, dare to ask this dead girl..."

"You want to ask, how is her identity so different? She is also a third-rate business. Why is it only about her? The Ministry of Criminal Affairs will mobilize people to do their best to get to the bottom of it."

Ye Lanchen smiled politely at Jun Ziyou, that smile was so hypocritical that it was completely different from that of Prince Jin's mansion just now, it can be seen that this man really doesn't like him very much.

"Yes……"

"Mr. is a newcomer, and I don't know much about the situation in the capital. Since you are from Prince Jin's Mansion, I will take the trouble to tell you. The girl who died is from Gusu. She was sold to In the Langhua Pavilion in the capital, Yanguan Qunfang became the top brand, and even the oiran of the entire Firework Lane. The emperor heard that she was beautiful, so he was curious, so he went out of the city to have a look, and saw that she was really beautiful and talented. Sacred Heart, give her the name Qihuang."

"Dragon and phoenix form a pair. Throughout the ages, only the empress deserves the word phoenix. So she was envied by others and caused her death?"

"This is indeed one of the reasons, but what really killed her is probably the emperor's secret decree to bring her into the harem."

Speaking of this, there is no need to mention it too clearly, Jun Ziyou can also guess the reason.

This Qihuang girl was originally a person in the world, even if she was favored by the emperor, but she was born in a humble background, and with such a status, it was really against the rules to enter the palace, but the emperor insisted on doing so, maybe the reason was...

Just at this time, the coroner of the autopsy came to report, "My lord, the deceased's abdomen is swollen, and she is indeed pregnant. Looking at it, it is estimated that it has been four months."

Ye Lanchen let out a "huh", turned around and continued to Junziyou: "Before this, the deceased hadn't seen anyone for some days. The emperor has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't have time to visit the palace often. The only one who can get in touch with her is Langhua." The bustard of the pavilion, and the girls who serve the left and right. Yesterday the emperor asked the eunuch to send some tonics to Langhua Pavilion on a whim, but the bustard hesitated and couldn't tell her whereabouts, only that she had passed away a few days ago. She has disappeared, but unexpectedly, her body was found in the mass grave."

Having said that, he asked Wu Zuo again, "How long has it been since you died?"

"Go back to my lord, it should be three days."

"Then it can be concluded that the people from Langhua Pavilion committed the crime. Let's go and go back with me to arrest the person."

"Lord Ye wait a minute!"

Junziyou called out Ye Lanchen to stop Ye Lanchen, glanced at the assistant who had just reported the case from the corner of his eye, and saw the man trembled in fright, so he knew he was right.

Even Ye Lanchen didn't expect that Gentleman's Tour would be an accident, and he thought he was eager to get rid of his relationship, and he didn't want him to say a puzzling sentence.

"I'm afraid Wu Zuo may have misread it, so please check it carefully."

When he said this, Shen Ci slapped his forehead and knew it was bad, this person started talking nonsense again, wanting something bad, and pulled the gentleman back.However, that person didn't give him any face at all, he withdrew his hand and pointed at the grave that was still soft in the soil.

"I was digging here last night, and I saw the girl's body bleeding. If she had been dead for three days, the blood in her body should have solidified long ago, so why would it flow all over the place?"

Everyone was silent, embarrassed for a while, and then the guilty Zuo pointed to another pit in the opposite direction, but not far away.

"Sir, the dead were dug out from here."

"How is it possible? Then what happened yesterday was..."

"Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"If it is true as you said, even if there is a girl who died for no reason in this chaotic graveyard, shouldn't the truth be found out?"

Things started to become chaotic, Ye Lanchen stroked his slightly aching forehead, and secretly stared at Shen Ci, asking him to take good care of the people in Prince Jin's Mansion and not to cause trouble here.

But Shen Ci knew that he couldn't control Jun Ziyou, and he really felt that this matter was strange, and wanted to embarrass Ye Lanchen out of his own mind, so he laughed a few times at others. "Master Ye, don't be surprised. The only ones in our house who can control Mr. Liu and Steward Liu, there is nothing I can do about it."

Seeing that no one was willing to help, Jun Ziyou took a shovel and dug the hole where he dug yesterday. No one dared to stop him, so he just watched him work hard, thinking that he would not cause any trouble, even if It didn't matter what leads were found that had nothing to do with the case.

But seeing that Jun Ziyou actually dug up a female corpse, everyone faintly felt that something was wrong.

Although the mass graves on the west side of the city have this name, they are the burial place for powerless common people. Even the decapitated prisoners will be buried in a thin skin coffin after death. It is impossible to have even straw mats. People who were hurriedly buried in the ground without paving.

Fu Zuo leaned forward curiously, and blew the loess off the face of the female corpse with his hands. The moment he saw the face of the deceased, he suddenly panicked, "Ah!".

Seeing his reaction, Ye Lanchen couldn't bear it anymore, and when he took a closer look, he immediately frowned.

"What's the situation? You also know this one??"

Ye Lanchen was dumbfounded, and pulled out a portrait from his arms. Although his face was a bit out of shape after death, it could be seen that the girl in the painting was the girl in the painting.

Junziyou swallowed his saliva, and asked tentatively, "This is Miss Qihuang?"

The other side nodded.

"Then it's over. This is Miss Qihuang herself. I'm afraid you have found the wrong person for that one."

Wu Zuo looked like he was about to cry, and his words were full of tears, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, heartbroken, "Sir, go and see that one!"

Although he was puzzled, Jun Ziyou did it honestly. When he took a closer look, he choked himself half to death with his saliva. He hurried back and snatched the portrait from Ye Lanchen's hand. He looked at the two dead men repeatedly, and finally came to a conclusion With an almost impossible conclusion, he looked at Ye Lanchen in disbelief.

"My lord, the two dead girls...are the same person??"
