〖Emperor〗 Don't lose prosperity

Chapter 7] Closing the case

When Ye Yi and Ye Shuang arrived at Yanyue Tower, it was quite lively.Two beautiful girls were waving handkerchiefs to solicit business. Although it was late at night, there was still an endless stream of people entering the building.

Ye Shuang didn't like this kind of fireworks place, so he asked, "How do we get in? What should we say after we get in?"

Ye Yi had never been to this kind of place before, so he just said: "Just pretend to be a playboy."

Ye Shuang was dissatisfied: "I won't."

Ye Yi was helpless.

In the end, the two sneaked in.

It happened that four beautifully dressed girls ran out of the room, and when they saw the Ye family brothers, a puff of smoke rose up.The anxious Ye Shuang quickly raised his sword, and the girls stopped and looked at them inexplicably.

Ye Yi pressed Ye Shuang, gave him a wink, and said, "Please take us to the wing."

The four girls understood, and hurriedly led the way.

Ye Shuang tugged at his sleeve, frowning in dissatisfaction—is it okay to ask here?Why do you want to go to Nao Shizi's wing?

Ye Yi pulled him forward - there were many people outside.

After entering the wing room, they ordered some food and drinks, and the girls introduced themselves one after another.

A girl named Xiu'er filled them with wine and said, "My lord, do you want to hear my servant sing a little song?"

The other three girls were also unwilling to let go, and all rubbed against them.

Ye Shuang pushed them away with his sword, and said with a bad face, "Hey! Show some respect!"

These words caused the four girls to cover their mouths and chuckle, thinking that people who come to this place should be respected?

Seeing that Ye Shuang was upset again, Ye Yi said to them, "Sit down!"

Seeing that the two young masters were so serious, the four girls had no choice but to sit down properly.

Ye Yidao understood Laiyi and wanted to hear about the oiran.

Ling'er said: "So the two of you are here to find Sister Yixin? It's a pity that she is not in the building today, and went out to swim in the lake with Boss Fang."

Ye Yi and Ye Shuang looked at each other, it seems that the county magistrate has not sent someone to notify the owner of Yanyue Building.

Pingxiang: "If you don't mind, my lord, it's the same if we accompany you."

Ye Shuang: "We're not looking for that oiran, we just want to hear about her."

Dongmei: "Why do the two young masters want to inquire about Sister Yixin?"

Ye Shuang rolled his eyes, and then said: "Let me tell you the truth! We are actually Fang Ye's subordinates, and we came here to ask some questions about Huakui, because we, Fang Ye, intend to redeem your sister."

Ye Yi listened quietly to what he said and what not, without making a sound.

When the four girls heard Ye Shuang's words, they were very envious, even a little jealous. What the women in the brothel hoped for most was that someone would be willing to redeem themselves, so that they would have no worries for the rest of their lives. Why is Yixin so lucky?

"How is it? Are you willing to talk now?" Ye Shuang happened to be hungry, so he picked up a chopstick of vegetables and asked them while eating.

Ling'er nodded: "If Boss Fang wants to know, we are willing to talk about it."

Xiu'er continued: "Sister Yixin was not a girl who stayed in Yanyue Building since she was a child, but she just heard from Mama Liu that her family was poor and her father owed a lot of debts before passing away. The younger sister is dependent on each other for life. What about father and daughter, those debt collectors are all fierce and arrogant, and they have forced her to have no way out."

Dongmei: "Mother Liu said that she happened to meet Sister Yixin who wanted to commit suicide that day, and she was rescued. She also introduced some jobs in the building to her. Sister Yixin was a singer at the beginning. She only sings and plays music for the guests. But the diva is a diva after all, she doesn’t earn much, and her debts are tight, so she broke her heart and agreed to her mother to be the oiran.”

Pinxiang: "Sister Yixin is good-looking, with dexterous hands, singing and playing music is not a problem. So when the price was auctioned yesterday, it took less than half an hour to pay 5000 taels, but in the end Boss Fang paid 1 taels I took my sister away."

As soon as the four girls finished speaking, Ye Shuang couldn't help trembling his eyelids, wondering what's wrong with the Yanyuelou people?Why is speaking one after another like singing an opera?And the sound is so greasy that it's almost oily.

I couldn't help but shivered violently, goosebumps all over my body.

Ye Yi pondered for a while, then asked, "What's the character of that oiran?"

"It's pretty good. Anyway, we haven't had sister Yixin lose her temper once. She is very friendly to most people."

Afraid of missing something, Ye Shuang said: "Then do you know anything else?"

The girls shook their heads: "That's all we know."

Seeing this, the two brothers didn't ask any more questions.

Before leaving, Ye Yi put down four bank notes and said, "Please don't tell what happened tonight."

Ye Shuang felt that what his brother said was very reasonable. If others knew that the two royal shadow guards had come to the brothel at night, what would it look like?

Seeing them jumping out of the window, the four girls couldn't help but exclaimed.When I stepped forward to take a look, there was no shadow of those two people.

After a long time, Dongmei expressed her confusion: "Just now they said that Boss Fang sent them to ask, but why did they finally say not to tell others about it? Besides, if you want to know about Sister Yixin clearly, why not Why don't you ask Mama Liu?"

Xiu'er handed her a silver ticket and said, "Why do you care so much? No one can understand the thoughts of rich and noble people. If you have money, just take it."

……

When having breakfast the next day, Ye Yiyi told him everything he had inquired about.

Mo Zi joked: "Hey, what do the girls in Yanyuelou look like? Don't they have a special flavor?"

Ye Shuang immediately turned back when she heard it: "Don't have a flavor? I think it's like a wolf and a tiger, talking like singing, it's really torture."

"What? Those girls are clinging to your brother? Left you aside?"

Ye Shuang glanced at his brother and said, "He dares!"

Mo Zi couldn't help laughing, this pair of brothers is really interesting!

Su Ye bit the bun and asked, "Can the sister there still sing? Daddy, let's go and listen, shall we?"

Xiao Zixian hurriedly said: "Master, it's better not to go there, it's not suitable for children to go there."

Su Ye was curious: "Why?"

Xiao Zixian was thinking about what kind of reason to explain to Su Ye, and Mo Zi said: "Children Su, the opera sung in there is not good, come back to my hometown with me when you are free, our opera singers are called It's the best in the world."

Speaking of this, Mo Zi seemed to think of something funny, and couldn't help but lay down on the table.

Ye Shuang twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking what's so funny?

Seeing that he was so happy, Su Ye nodded, "Then Momo will definitely go with you when I'm free."

"Row."

Su Jiu asked repeatedly: "Did you tell them what happened last night?"

Ye Yi shook his head: "In order to avoid causing trouble, let them keep it a secret."

Xiao Zixian also said: "It's the best thing to keep secret."

After the hour passed, the county government office was full of people.Cai Lu, the magistrate of the county, was sitting in the trial. Under the courtroom, there was a woman dressed in red and pink lips crying and shouting: "My family is happy, why are you so overwhelmed? Didn't you already promise me to live a good life?" Is it? Why doesn’t it count?”

Cai Lu got annoyed when he heard her howling, so he slapped the gavel and said, "You're in the hall, what do you look like crying?"

The woman quickly stopped crying, and whispered: "Are you sad, you will cry."

This woman is Mama Liu, the owner of Yanyuelou. At this moment, she is crying because of the loss of a good daughter.

"Okay! If you have any grievances, quickly present the pleadings!"

Mother Liu quickly took out the paper in her sleeve and presented it to Cai Lu.

After reading it, the county magistrate said, "Let's sue for your grievances one by one."

Wiping her tears, the woman told all about Yixin's entry into Yanyue Tower.It was roughly the same as the news that Ye Yi and the two brothers found out last night, and many people talked about it after hearing it.

Cai Lu hastily patted the gavel to keep quiet: "Silence, silence! How can I judge the case if you talk so much? My servant, you said that Yixin had suicidal thoughts. Is this true?"

Mother Liu nodded quickly: "My lord, the mirror hangs high, so I dare not make half a lie."

"Since it is true, there is no need to continue the trial with the case. Doesn't it show that your daughter committed suicide because she couldn't think about it?"

"My lord, how did you decide?"

"Tsk." The county magistrate gave her a blank look, and continued: "Is this an official's explanation? Your daughter just didn't want to suffer from the wind and dust for the rest of her life, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide."

"This this……."

Mother Liu was so swallowed that she couldn't speak.

"Okay, I don't want to wrong others casually, so I called you the boss Fang Zhengfang who was with Yixin that night, and asked him to talk about the situation that night?"

"Okay, ok, my lord is really fair and honest."

"Come on, pass on Fangzheng."

Fangzheng didn't seem to bring any followers today, he just came here by himself.

After bowing down, Cai Lu asked, "Tell him what happened last night."

Fangzheng recounted everything that happened last night.

It turns out that Fang Zheng and Yi Xin were not the only ones on the boat last night, there were also several friends of Fang Zheng.They drink together, and Yi Xin plays music for them.But after the song, Yi Xin left for a few quarters of an hour and never came back.Fangzheng was a little drunk with his friends, so he didn't call her back.

Then they heard someone yelling outside, they went out and saw Yixin's accompanying maid lying on the rail of the boat and crying, and only then did they know that Yixin had committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.

Cai Lu nodded: "The official sent someone to investigate the people who took the night cruise last night, and what Fang Zheng said is true."

"Report to my lord, Yixin's body has been found!"

Several officials have already carried Yixin's body to the court.

Ms. Liu felt distressed when she saw the white cloth surface, but she spent several months raising Yixin, but now she is doing well, the money can't be earned back, and even this lucky tree is dead, it's a loss. dead! !

Cai Lu ordered Wu Zuo: "Go and check the cause of her death."

"Yes."

Seeing that Wu Zuo was going to have an autopsy, Xiao Zixian said to Mo Zi: "Mr. Mo, can you take my young master to the street?"

Mo Zi also knew that children of this age were not suitable for watching this kind of scene, so she said, "Okay, anyway, I'm not very interested in this case, so we'll come back later. Child Su, let's go to the street Go shopping."

Su Ye nodded.

Wu Zuo first carefully checked the outer skin of the corpse, and then said: "My lord, there are no other fatal wounds on the deceased's body."

Cai Lu nodded, and said again: "Then you can test her internal organs, throat and heart cavity to see if there is any sign of poisoning."

"Yes."

Wu Zuo took out the silver needle and put it on the lamp to roast for a quarter of an hour.Then the silver needle was inserted into the abdomen of the deceased to test whether there was any poison in her body.

Then Wu used the same method to check other places, and the silver needle did not change color at all.But Wu Zuo found a knotted thing from Yixin's nose, mouth, and ears.

Cai Lu said, "Wu Zuo, tell them the autopsy results."

"Yes. There is no poison in the internal organs and heart cavity of the deceased, which means that she did not die from poisoning. These knotted things are aquatic plants. The most densely populated area is in the center of the lake. They have swum in the river before. Everyone knows it. Moreover, the abdomen of the deceased has a bulge, and her body is also pale and swollen, which must be the phenomenon of drowning people."

Ye Shuang rubbed his chin. He thought that the county magistrate's conduct was not good and that his job must be an idiot, but he didn't expect that the analysis was quite thorough, and the autopsy was serious.

After hearing this, Cai Lu asked Mama Liu: "My servant, do you have anything else to say?"

Mother Liu was twisting the silk scarf in her hands, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

"Okay, since you have nothing to say, the judge will judge the case."

As he said that, he patted the gavel again, and said loudly: "The judge pronounced that Yanyuelou Yixin committed suicide by jumping into the river. This matter has nothing to do with others! Retire!"

After the verdict was pronounced, the people who came to hear the case dispersed one by one.

Mother Liu got up aggrieved, and Cai Lu called her: "Remember to take your daughter back, the county government is not a place for her to rest."

Mother Liu was already in a bad mood, but because he was the county magistrate, she couldn't get angry, so she replied, "Yes, yes, I will ask someone to take her away this afternoon."

Cai Lu nodded in satisfaction.

When Fangzheng left, he saw Xiao Zixian and his party, stopped for a while, and left without saying anything.

For some reason, Su Jiulian was extremely disgusted with this person.

Cai Lu also saw them, so he came forward and asked, "Young masters, are you satisfied with the trial of this case?"

Ye Shuang rolled his eyes in his heart, this person is a fool, he came to curry favor with them when he saw Fangzheng was gone, no offense to either side!

Xiao Zixian said: "It's good that my lord can examine it clearly."

"That's it, I won't keep a few officials, we will meet later."

After leaving the county office, Ye Shuang asked: "This county magistrate is naturally snobby, do you want to find someone to replace him?"

Ye Yi grabbed Ye Shuang and signaled - this is the master's business, don't say too much.

Xiao Zixian said with a smile: "Let's talk about the dismissal later! He doesn't seem to be a corrupt official, but he is a little scared."

Ye Shuang disdained: "Isn't he a corrupt official? He's just a fool, and he will fall wherever the wind blows."

Both Xiao Zixian and Su Jiulian understood that although Yixin was not killed by someone, there was definitely an ulterior secret behind it.

It's just that a life was lost in vain, and Su Jiulian was a little displeased, so much so that she hated the merchant named Fang Zheng even more.

Xiao Zixian turned his head to ask Su Jiulian's opinion, but unexpectedly the other party frowned and said nothing, so he asked, "But is there any doubt?"

Su Jiulian looked at him after hearing this, and said, "It's nothing."

Ye Shuang thought of Mo Zi and Su Ye, and said, "Then let's go find the young master! Let's go!"

So the four left the county office and walked to the market.
