Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

Before winter came, Jun Ziyou put on a fox fur. Anyone who saw him would look sick.

When I went to Shuntian Mansion, I happened to meet Ye Lanchen who was waiting to be interrogated. The latter was delighted to see him like this, and thought that King Jin begged for such a good treasure, and I am afraid that he would die in a few days. , what is this called?Blessings.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer: "Run out to make trouble before you're healthy, isn't your lord afraid that a sick person will ruin your reputation?"

"Lord Ye's words are wrong. If the king intervenes in this case but there is no result, it will damage the reputation of the king, won't it?"

"What the lord said is true, but you may suffer losses if you entrust your reputation to the low-level literati who came out of the humble place. The officials only said a few words because they cared about the lord. I hope the lord will not be angry."

"How could it be that Lord Ye's kindness is appreciated by the king. It's just that the gentleman is a guest invited by the king himself to Gusu. Even if he doesn't understand the rules and offends Lord Ye, his skills are genuine. Give pointers."

These words are to the detriment of Ye Lanchen who sees people as unpleasant and makes things difficult everywhere. He thought in his heart that it is not King Jin that you have found such a treasure to embarrass me, so I am in today's situation, otherwise it will be according to the meaning of the man in the palace Well, it would be great to let this matter go, so why worry about it like now?

Junzi You was seriously ill, and he didn't have the heart to quarrel with him, so he shrank in the place closest to the charcoal brazier when he entered the door, regardless of whether it was the main seat or the guest seat.

Seeing this, Tan Jiuling hesitated to speak, Xiao Beicheng shook his head to signal that he didn't need to say more, and ordered someone to move two charcoal braziers, and put them in front of him to warm him, completely ignoring Ye Lanchen's head covered in heat. Khan, rolling his eyes again and again, had to take off his coat.

"The reason why the king came to Shuntian Mansion today is because of the murder case of the oiran that caused a sensation in the capital a few days ago. This matter has caused a lot of uproar. According to the public trial, several days have passed. If it continues to delay, I am afraid that something will happen again. We must find out the truth as soon as possible.”

Ye Lanchen was polite but with a provocative smile, "My lord is very true, but your husband said that the murder of the oiran and the murder of Li's Magnolia will be tried separately, and he also decided that the Da Hong who was found in the Langhua Pavilion The coffin has nothing to do with Li's Yulan, the good case has been dismantled, and the originally clear case has also come to an impasse, aren't you embarrassing the lower officials?"

Having said that, Jun Ziyou raised his head, clapped his hands and beckoned Shen Ci to enter the door. Tan Jiuling scratched his head angrily when he saw that the latter brought up the paper figurines that replaced the two victims on the day of the trial.

"This...how did you get it back again, bad luck!"

"Master Fuyin, don't be too unlucky. The coffin in Langhua Pavilion is still parked in the backyard of Shuntian Mansion. You not only have to look at this paper figurine, you also have to go and see the one inside later."

As soon as these words came out, Tan Jiuling's legs went limp in fright, and he shrank behind Bai Jin, not daring to say much.

The gentleman, You Nuan, was strong enough before he dared to stretch out his hand from the fox fur, stepped forward in person, and changed the position of the note with his name on the paper figurine.

"Actually, we have all been misled into the puzzle, and we all believe that Miss Qihuang is a wicked girl who wants to fly on a branch and become a phoenix, and does not hesitate to kill her own sister. Little do I know that we have misunderstood this from the beginning, and look at it from another direction. , things are a different picture.”

"Are you trying to say that we recognized the wrong person, but the pregnant one is the real Qihuang girl?"

The gentleman shook his head, he tore off the note on the skinny paper figurine that said "Miss Qihuang", held it in his hand and didn't rush to stick it on.

"What if there were not only two victims in this case?"

Everyone fell silent, Chi Min, the servant of the criminal department who came with Ye Lanchen, sneered, "You think the case is not tricky enough, and you have brought out another victim. I think you are here to make trouble."

"My lord, please be careful."

Ye Lanchen glanced at the person who spoke, his eyes were quite reproachful, the person who slipped his words hurriedly bowed his head, not daring to say any more.

At this time, Shen Ci followed Junziyou's instructions and moved another paper figure to the hall, and Junziyou then pasted the note "Qihuang girl" on the paper figure.

"First of all, I want to say sorry to all the adults. The court trial a few days ago failed to come to a conclusion, which greatly damaged the reputation of Shuntian Mansion. This is actually a scene arranged by me to lure out the real culprit behind the scenes. It is very important that I concealed it from all the adults. One of the details is that Shen Ci and I found something strange about the face of one of the corpses, but Luo Yutang, who is the author, is suspected of being involved in the case, and I don't want to speak out, so I chose to do another autopsy today."

After confirming the look in Xiao Beicheng's eyes, Bai Jin stood up and saluted Ye Lanchen respectfully, "Master Ye, please send someone to investigate."

Speaking of this, Ye Lanchen couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed to his request. After a while, the Ministry of Punishment gave the result.

"Returning to my lords, there is indeed something strange about the pregnant body. The face is covered with a thin film, which is used as a disguise. However, the person has been dead for some time, and when the officials went to investigate, the body showed signs of decay. , the face under this mask is no longer recognizable, only some scars can be seen vaguely, which have been disfigured."

Jun Ziyou took advantage of the situation, "Just now the coffin was opened for autopsy in the backyard, did Mr. Wu Zuo find anything?"

"This……"

"My lord, you don't have to be scruples, just speak up."

Wu Zuo shook his head sadly, and sighed again and again, "To be honest, the deceased in the coffin was also a woman. Judging from the condition of the body, she had been dead for two months. Her abdomen was protruding, and she was also pregnant. Corrupted, but judging from the skeleton outline, it should be one of the Li sisters."

"What about the cause of death?"

"There was no trauma, and there was no sign of poisoning in the flesh and blood. The preliminary judgment is that he died of illness."

Junzi You heard the words and took out a few more pieces of paper, wrote Luo Yutang's name on it, mixed it with the previous name tag, and put it on the ground together.

"Then let's assume that the woman in the red coffin is Li's Yulan. She was three months pregnant two months ago and unfortunately died of illness. Even if Miss Qihuang felt guilty because she raped her, she did not take her The reason why the body was placed in Langhua Pavilion. Besides, Li Yulan's husband, Luo Yutang, was in the capital. She could let Luo Yutang handle the funeral for Li Yulan, or take him to a random grave to bury him secretly. Why did she make such a move? Such stupidity?"

Xiao Beicheng listened to his words, stared at the leaves floating on the tea soup, and muttered: "It doesn't make sense, the only possibility is that the woman in the coffin is Miss Qihuang."

Jun Ziyou nodded in agreement, "My lord is right, then if the woman in the coffin is Miss Qihuang, it is a fact that she is pregnant, which is consistent with the rumors. As for whether she is the heir of the Dragon, I will not speculate, but obviously Li Shi Yulan thinks that even if it is not, there is still a chance to ascend to the sky, so everyone is guessing who really wants to fly on the branch and become a phoenix."

Listening to his words, the crowd became more silent, and Bai Jin made a guess that subverted people's impressions, "So it's not Miss Qihuang who raped Li's Magnolia, but Li's Magnolia... controlled Miss Qihuang?"

How stupid it is to do such vicious things for one's own selfish desires, let alone commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.

In a fit of rage, he patted the table and scolded, "Absurd! The death of this poisonous woman is not a pity!" was actually Ye Lanchen.

Affected by his emotions, Jun Ziyou was also a little excited, out of breath and coughing, Shen Ci patted his chest to let him breathe, and then helped him back to his original position. Only when he recovered his breath, did he realize that Xiao Bei Cheng stared at the man with worried eyes, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and wanted to wait for him to calm down the suffocation in his chest after he got better.

"My lord, don't worry, it's just a small scene."

Jun Ziyou smiled at the people, he knew that his face was so red and purple just now, but now it is as pale as paper, how can people not worry about his condition.

"To make a long story short, finish this case soon and go back to rest, so don't mess around with your body."

"There is one thing I have to say. Whether Li Yulan is a poisonous woman needs to be pondered. She came all the way from Gusu to find her relatives. I don't think she has any malice towards Miss Qihuang. On the contrary, it is her blood relationship. The care that cannot be parted from the family relationship, if this care is used by someone with good intentions, they will do wrong things with good intentions, I am afraid that Li Yulan is also a victim."

Ye Lanchen, who calmed down because of his words, thought for a moment, knowing that what he said was reasonable, and it was not difficult to think of a person following his reasoning.

"Luo Yutang."

"Luo Yutang came to the capital a few years ago, and he was a fellow villager with the Li sisters. He coveted Miss Qihuang's favor, and his ambition to give birth to a civet cat in exchange for the prince is not impossible. He ordered Li's Yulan to come to the Langhua Pavilion, Miss Qihuang was imprisoned and let her replace her, but the world was unpredictable, and no one expected that the pregnant girl Qihuang would die of illness. In order to let the play of "Qihuang" pregnant with dragon heirs continue, he found another A woman who is about the same pregnancy period as Miss Qihuang came."

Seeing that Jun Ziyou was struggling to keep his energy flowing, Xiao Beicheng couldn't bear him to force himself, winked at Bai Jin repeatedly, and the latter continued to talk smoothly.

"In this way, it can also explain the reason why the unnamed pregnant woman was covered with bruises. If she is just an unrelated person, can she be beaten and scolded casually? But then Li Shi Yulan also suffered an accident, and was even drowned. What happened to this? What's going on?"

"Then we have to mention the chief culprit that Luo Yutang said made him obsessed."

Now Bai Jin shut his mouth, and Tan Jiuling didn't dare to speak out. Ye Lanchen, who was not from the same way, came here purely to watch a show, so it was naturally impossible to take the initiative to involve the forces behind him.

Then there is only one person who can speak.

"Southwest Commercial Bank."

Xiao Beicheng was playing with the cigarette stick in his hand, and turned his gaze to Ye Lanchen, who was drinking tea leisurely and seemed to have nothing to do with him.

The latter really reacted, first his movements froze, then he raised his eyes and looked at him, his voice was cold, "If the prince is joking, I will pretend that I didn't hear it. If you can't talk nonsense, the prince must pay attention to it." yes."

"It's not that this king wants to put a hat on someone. Luo Yutang's testimony is written in black and white. Could it be that this king poured dirty water on it?"

Even though Ye Lanchen was gnashing his teeth with hatred, because of his status, he didn't dare to overstep, so he could only clenched his fists tightly and creaked his joints.

And the moment he got angry, it was already doomed to a person's death.
