Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss
Chapter 62 3 more in 1
Zhan Zhao immediately picked up his Juque sword and ran away. After less than two sticks of incense, Yin Aoxue was taken into the Kaifeng court by Zhan Zhao.
Yin Aoxue was beaten into a messy bun, and one side of her face was obviously red and swollen.
She knelt in the center of the courtroom and confessed what she had done while weeping.
The situation is basically as Xiong Tai confessed, Yin Aoxue was bewitched by Taoist priests, and because she was too infatuated with Zhan Zhao, she was lobbied by Taoist priests, and was led astray, so she made up her mind to attack Su Yuan.
It's just that this wrong path has been led a bit deep, and Yin Aoxue has not realized that she was deceived by the Taoist priest.
"I have nothing to say about success and defeat since ancient times."
Yin Aoxue looked at Su Yuan with red eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks one by one.She cried embarrassingly, but she didn't blink her eyes, and her face was full of stubbornness.
"You're lucky. I'm unlucky enough to beat you. If you lose, you lose, and you deserve to die."
If I had known that she should have done it herself, she should not have hesitated, and believed in Xiong Tai's idea, and hired someone to do it.She thought it was safe, but she didn't expect that Xiong Tai found two useless charlatans, whose skills were not as good as their Yin family's servants.
But in the end, it was Su Yuan's luck, a man in Tsing Yi suddenly appeared and shot Xiong Tai to death with a crossbow, otherwise Xiong Tai's martial arts would be more than enough to deal with her.
It was a foolproof thing, but I don't know why it is so complicated.
The funny thing is that when Zhan Zhao suddenly appeared to look for her just now, she thought that Xiong Tai had done the job, that the words of the Taoist priest had come true, and that her marriage had come!
However, the next moment, she found that Zhan Zhao was coming straight at her with his sword in hand, his eyes were full of murderous intent and disgust towards her, without saying a word, he shot her without hesitation.
Yin Aoxue had never seen Zhan Zhao attacking her so harshly. It turned out that Zhan Zhao gave way to her in previous competitions and did not take her face into consideration.But she was confident that she almost beat him every time, and as long as she practiced martial arts better, she would have a chance to beat him and marry him.
Yin Aoxue cried like rain, recalling Zhan Zhao's humility to her, she wanted to laugh happily, it was so good at that time, why was she not satisfied.It would be great if we could go back to the past.
She lost the bet, completely, and it was impossible for her to get Zhan Zhao's eyes.
Bao Zheng knocked on the gavel and reprimanded Yin Aoxue for being obsessed with obsession so far, "It's so stupid to use the theory of success and defeat to cover up your insidious and harmful actions."
"If I don't fight for this, I am doomed to have no good luck in this life. Instead of spending the rest of my life alone and alone, I will choose to gamble for the rest of my life. This kind of winning or losing must be gambled. Becoming a king and losing Kou." Yin Aoxue insisted on her own ideas.
"A stinky Taoist priest's bewitching words, do you believe it? If I knew it was so effective, I should have asked a Taoist priest to tell your fortune and tell you that you are a bedbug. You should die early, so as not to cause harm to the world." Bai Yutang sneered.
Zhan Zhao sneered, and continued, "Stop praising her, bedbugs are not as vicious as her."
At this time, Zhan Zhao hated Yin Aoxue to the extreme.
Yin Aoxue knew what she looked like now, and Zhan Zhao would definitely hate it when she saw her, but when she really heard Zhan Zhao sneer at her, she still couldn't control herself, her heart ached, and she cried bitterly.
But this is the result of her losing the bet, and she has to bear it. Who told her to be a loser, she lost completely.
"Do you really think that the Taoist priest who said those words to you will be a real person with superb Taoism? Can help you change your fate and let you find a good relationship?"
Seeing that Yin Aoxue was extremely sad, but still obsessed with obsession, Gongsun Ce shook his head helplessly, lamenting her stupidity and at the same time feeling sorry for her.This girl used to be a chivalrous warrior, if she hadn't gone astray this time, she might have a good fortune in the future and become a famous martial arts chivalrous woman.
"True cultivators always seek goodness and save people through calamities. There is a saying in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching": 'Live in a good place, have a good heart, be with good people, speak good faith, govern well, do good things and do good things at a good time' The words of the Taoist patriarch are completely contrary to the words of the Taoist priest who instigated you to harm others. Could it be that you are saying that the Taoist patriarch was wrong? The Taoist priest you believe in who made you do evil and kill people is right? No Serious cultivators are fake Taoists, charlatans, how can you trust their words?"
Yin Aoxue was stunned again and again, and then she realized that she seemed to have been sidelined by that Taoist priest.
"But why did he lie to me? He wasn't greedy for my money. After he instructed me, he didn't take any money, and he left."
"There is a word in the world called 'use', and another word called 'borrowing a knife to kill'." Bai Yutang couldn't help ridiculing again, and glanced at Yin Aoxue contemptuously, "Sure enough, people need to read more."
"Those who don't read are not as stupid as she is." Wang Chao imitated Zhan Zhao's previous sentence pattern and followed up.
Yin Aoxue fell to the ground and cried bitterly with regret, yes, why is she so stupid, why did she trust the Taoist priest's words.It was because she believed the Taoist's nonsense that she completely ruined this life!She regrets so much...
But it's useless to regret it any more. A beautiful girl in her twenties and eight years has a strong martial arts and a family background that martial arts people envy, but she has to plead guilty and be executed for this.
"Well, she will have a better choice if she lets go of her obsession. With her talent, appearance and family background, how can she worry about finding a good relationship again? But she has to go all the way to the dark at any cost."
Wang Chao lamented that this person really can't be stupid, even if he is stupid, he can't have evil thoughts and have the intention of harming others, otherwise the retribution will come back to him sooner or later.
"Last time in Shaliupo, she admitted her mistake so sincerely that I thought the matter was over." Su Yuan also felt that Yin Aoxue had missed it.
Zhang Long couldn't figure it out: "I've heard some stories about her being a chivalrous man in Jianghu before, and I don't think she is stupid. How could she believe everything when a strange Taoist priest said something nonsense to her?" gone?"
"The Kaifeng government has dealt with many cases of charlatans over the years. Many of the scammers' methods are very clumsy, and their words are more than one nonsense. Some people are deceived because of this, and they believe in their words. The root cause is, It is to take advantage of people's greed for luck. The more anxious a person is for something, the easier it is to be deceived. Apparently, in the case of Yin Aoxue, someone knew her infatuation with Zhan Huwei, so he used her thoughts to do something for her. set."
Gongsun Ce went out to call Su Yuan, and after listening to their discussion, he also said a few words of emotion.
Wang Chao and others agreed one after another, sighing that Mr. Gongsun could understand.
"Mr. Gongsun, why are you looking for Miss Su?" Ma Han asked curiously when he saw the two of them leave.
"You still want to eat scorpion meat wontons?" Wang Chao casually guessed.
Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu looked at Wang Chao at the same time, and asked him what scorpion meat wontons were in unison.
Wang Chao was stunned, and was about to run away, but was immediately chased by Ma Han and three people.
"Well, let me just say that Miss Su sent four bowls of wontons over last night. Why did you suddenly refuse to eat them generously and gave us your share. So it was scorpion meat wontons?"
"But when we asked you what the stuffing was, how did you say it was sea cucumber wonton?"
"Hit him!"
The three of them stretched out their hands and slapped Wang Chao.
Wang Chao held his head and yelled "Lord Bao", Ma Han and the other three immediately stopped and stood upright.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Chao rushed out of the encirclement of the three and successfully slipped away.
Ma Han and the three immediately chased after him.
……
Su Yuan followed Gongsun Ce to the study, and saw the portrait of the thin-faced Taoist priest on the table.
Yin Aoxue had already confirmed it when she made the confession just now. It was this Taoist priest who ran into her in the Yellow Bird Tower, and nagged her to arrange her marriage, and tricked her into killing people according to the formation he guided.
"When he talked about marriage with Yin Aoxue, he said that you are a 'sha'. This statement has something to do with the order that Taoist Master Wangchuan gave you. So the first possibility is that this Taoist priest is related to Taoist Master Wangchuan. He Instigated by him, I went to find Yin Aoxue and plotted against you. The second possibility is that this Taoist priest has nothing to do with the Taoist Master Wangchuan, but was employed by Su Jinjing. Su Jinjing deliberately arranged for him to get close to Yin Aoxue. The third possibility is that he and Wangchuan Daoist Chuan and Su Jinjing have nothing to do, they were hired by other people to deal with you."
Gongsun Ce felt that the third possibility was the least, but it could not be ruled out, so he said it comprehensively.
Judging from the clues obtained so far, the suspect most pointed to by the evidence is Su Jinjing.The matter of Su Yuan originally belonged to Su Jinjing's family affairs. As the head of Wangchuan, it is unlikely that he would directly take action against Su Yuan.Su Jinjing has money and people, so he will naturally solve it by himself.
After listening to Gongsun Ce's words, Su Yuan looked at him with some confusion: "Master suddenly told me this again on purpose, what's the reason?"
Gongsun Ce laughed, "What did you secretly discuss with Bai Huwei today? But what plan did you make, and it has something to do with Daoist Wangchuan?"
Su Yuan was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Gongsun Ce would notice this matter. He is indeed a scheming figure.
"It's just chatting, I didn't say anything." Su Yuan smiled at Gongsun Ce, not intending to admit it.
Seeing Su Yuan's reaction, Gongsun Ce knew that he had guessed right, that something must have happened to these two people.
"Being a teacher is not a stubborn person, but the case of Yin Aoxue should be taken as a warning, and you must not go astray because of impatience, and walk on the road of no return. The two of you should behave properly, do you know?" Gongsun Ce calls Su Yuandao.
"Master, don't worry, there will be a measure." Su Yuan assured Gongsun Ce.They are not stupid enough to do things that kill people.
Gongsun Ce glanced at Su Yuan meaningfully, seeing that she still had no intention of confessing, he sighed, "Forget it, it's good to be modest, so I won't ask any more questions."
Since the child refuses to speak, it must not be a serious trick.Probably she was afraid of telling it out, and if he knew about it, if he concealed it, it would cause him to be difficult to explain in front of Mr. Bao.In fact, why is he afraid of these things?Don't look at him usually being gentle and gentle, but he is actually bloody in his bones, otherwise he wouldn't choose to work with the poor Master Bao.
But children's good intentions must always be taken care of, and they should not be embarrassing.
"Then you go." Gongsun Ce sent Su Yuan away.
Gongsun Ce glanced at the Taoist portrait on the table, and was about to roll it up, when someone knocked on the east window.
As soon as Gongsun Ce opened the window, he saw a black face, which shocked him.
It was just after dusk, and it was a little dark, but not completely dark.Mr. Bao chooses this opportunity to stand outside the window, his face blends in with the night, which is scarier than ghosts.
"Why are you here, my lord? If you come from your side, it seems that you don't need to pass through this window?" With Gongsun Ce's wit, he naturally sensed that something went wrong.
"Mr.'s apprentice has tricks in his heart, so it's only natural for the government to monitor him once or twice." Bao Zheng coughed lightly, and gave a high-sounding explanation for his behavior of listening to the wall.
Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, pretending to be ignorant, and curiously asked Bao Zheng what was so tricky.
"You know it well." Bao Zheng, like Gongsun Ce, also saw Su Yuan and Bai Yutang whispering.The two of them chose to discuss things at that time, and he also guessed that it might have something to do with Taoist Wang Chuan.
Originally, when he saw Gongsun Ce looking for Su Yuan, he thought they could confess to each other, but he didn't expect him to be a "thief" listening to the root of the wall for nothing, and he didn't hear anything.
"It's okay for the two children to behave properly," Gongsun Ce said.
Bao Zheng glanced at Gongsun Ce: "It's hard to be convincing, I didn't ask what's the matter, how do I know it's all right?"
Gongsun Ce just smiled and said nothing.
Anyway, if Mr. Bao wants to ask, then let him ask. The result is probably the same, and he can't ask.
"Even if you don't ask this, then you should ask, when can we have a wedding wine?" When Bao Zheng asked this question, his eyes were more curious than before.
He is not Su Yuan's master, so it is not appropriate for him to ask this kind of question.Bao Zheng blamed Gongsun Ce, a master, for not caring enough about his apprentices. It was a matter of her life, so she should always ask her about it and give her some advice.
Since he mentioned Su Yuan's lifelong event to Bao Zheng last time, Gongsun Ce discovered that Bao Zheng was particularly concerned about Su Yuan's marriage.But Gongsun Ce didn't expect that Bao Zheng's concern in this aspect would continue undiminished after such a long time.
In fact, he also wanted to ask a little bit, but the two young people didn't know how far they had progressed. If they rashly pointed it out, they would feel embarrassed and stop seeing each other, wouldn't it be a big loss.
Gongsun Ce advised Bao Zheng not to worry and wait.
"This kind of thing should give them more time for young people. If it is really a good match, we will have a wedding day. But since Mr. Bao is looking forward to it so much, it is time to start saving money. When they get married, it will happen It’s a great gift to give.”
After all, Mr. Bao is a poor official, and his money is limited, so it is necessary to make plans early.As a master, he can't let his precious apprentice suffer a disadvantage in receiving congratulatory gifts.With an extra tael of silver, his precious apprentice can eat two more meals of meat.
Bao Zheng laughed helplessly, and sighed that Gongsun Ce was so scheming, but he would definitely give a big gift to Su Yuan.
After Bao Zheng returned home, he immediately recruited the housekeeper, and told him to be more frugal in the expenses of the house in the future, and he wanted to save a dowry for Su Yuan.Since Su Yuan grew up in Kaifeng Mansion, he is naturally considered the daughter of Kaifeng Mansion, so as the Governor of Kaifeng Mansion, he must give a dowry as well as a congratulatory gift!
The housekeeper has always liked Su Yuan very much, and he is very happy that his master is planning for Su Yuan's future, but at this moment he is a little troubled: "My lord, our house is already frugal enough, if we save more, the little ones don't know what to do." The place is saved."
"There is no need to make new clothes this autumn. The old clothes are not worn out, just wear the old ones. If there is nothing else to do at night, just leave a lamp in the room. If you can save lamp oil, you can save money." Bao Zheng gave an example.
The housekeeper nodded to show that he understood, and then asked Bao Zheng if he should save some money in the kitchen, such as reducing meat dishes and eating vegetarian food as much as possible.
"It's not necessary to ask everyone to work when you are hungry."
The kitchen the butler mentioned was not the kitchen in Kaifeng Mansion that was in charge of the official meals, but the small kitchen in the Bao family's side, which was in charge of the meals of the Bao family and servants.Although Bao Zheng didn't come back to eat often, but after being influenced by Su Yuan, he knew the truth that eating well is the key to doing a good job.This money should be saved on oneself, how can it be saved on the lips of the servants.
After listening to Bao Zheng's words, the butler was quite upset.
It's good to follow the right master, knowing how to feel sorry for them servants!
……
At noon, Su Yuan finally met Su Fangming.
After Su Fangming sized up Su Yuan, he sighed, "It's good that you're fine."
"I heard that when I was away, you and your father broke up? Shopkeeper Lou said last night that you couldn't get away at home. Did your father make things difficult for you?"
"I touched the boy in his study, he will inevitably get angry, it's nothing serious, no matter what he says, I won't listen to it." Su Fangming explained.
Shopkeeper Lou, who was standing by the side, felt sorry for his uncle for making a big deal out of it, and couldn't help but said, "It's nothing important? Master Su withdrew all the businesses in his hands."
Su Yuan looked at Su Fangming in surprise.
Su Fangming warned shopkeeper Lou with his eyes, waved him away, and then invited Su Yuan to drink tea with a light smile.
"This matter is nothing compared to your life-threatening experience. Besides, the Su family has so many businesses, and he is too old to be busy. He will still ask me to help return the shops I manage in a short time. I It’s a good thing to take this opportunity to rest for a few days.”
Seeing that Su Fangming was really open-minded, Su Yuan stopped persuading him. First, he asked Su Fangming to identify the portraits of the man in Tsing Yi and the Taoist priest with a thin face.
Su Fangming shook his head immediately after seeing it, "I don't know these two people."
Su Yuan then showed the account book to Su Fangming for identification.
After flipping through it, Su Fangming said to Su Yuan: "The bookkeeping habits of these three books are similar to those of the Su family. Five, six, and seven refer to the month, and the methods of bookkeeping are all left gold and right silver. Sha Hua Such jewelry is classified as silver, pearls, gemstones, corals, etc. are classified as gold, and the green plum jade lotus hairpin and Yanqiu Taobuyao are the characteristics of the Su family jewelry shop. These three books should be wrong in the account books of the Su family. No."
Su Fangming then used the abacus to calculate the total turnover recorded in the next three books, and told Su Yuan that there were only three Su Ji jewelry shops in the capital that met the conditions in the books.
"The amount involved is relatively large, and only the three largest jewelry stores in Yujie, Dongdajie and Xidajie can reach it." Su Fangming did not hide any secrets, and told Su Yuan all the situation in a calm voice.
After Su Yuan heard this, logically speaking, she should feel happy or relieved that the clues had progressed, but facing Su Fangming like this, she felt a little heavy.
After all, Su Jinjing was the one who raised Su Fangming and was the source of his life.Father's love is like a mountain, the person who should have given Su Fang love and security.It is actually very painful for a person to deny his origin and expose his biological father who raised him.Even though Su Fangming has practiced Taoism for many years and became more pure-hearted and ascetic, he is still a mortal and not a god. He has flesh and blood, and has perception. It is impossible for him to be completely indifferent.Otherwise, he would not have come to negotiate terms with her in order to protect Su Jinjing.
This kind of pain of self-cutting wounds and gouging out rotten flesh, he bears by himself.Now the more calm and indifferent he looks on his face, the more people worry about him.
"By the way, I haven't seen Jin Cai go back to the mansion so far." Su Fangming provided another clue.
After Su Fangming took a sip of tea, he didn't hear Su Yuan respond to him.He raised his eyes and forgot to take a look at Su Yuan, only to realize that Su Yuan had been looking at him.Su Fangming then asked Su Yuan if he had any questions.
Su Yuan nodded, indicating that she did have doubts.
Su Yuan stared at Su Fangming, and asked him solemnly, "Are you okay?"
"Not good." Su Fangming's voice was flat, he lowered his eyes, and there was not much emotion on his face, "But if I promised you, I will definitely do it. Don't worry about that."
He said that if Su Jinjing did something illegal, he would help Su Yuan send Su Jinjing to the jail in Kaifeng Mansion, and then he would do his best to assist Su Yuan in investigating the case.
"I don't know how to comfort you. Some pains can only be borne by myself. Others can't help, and words of comfort are useless. But if you need me, for example, if you want to eat something delicious, you want me to Listen to you or talk to you, wherever you go with you, you can find me." Su Yuan said.
Su Fangming clenched the teacup in his hand and looked at Su Yuan: "Then if I say, after losing a relative, I still want to be greedy to get another relative?"
"Then you should have deserved it long ago." Su Yuan smiled, and called Su Fangming crisply, "Brother."
After Su Fangming hesitated for a moment, he blinked slowly, then raised his head in surprise, meeting Su Yuan's eyes.
After a long while, Su Fangming said "hmm".
He loosened his grip on the teacup, and finally relaxed a bit.
……
After a stick of incense, Su Yuan, Bai Yutang, and Zhan Zhao took the officials of Kaifeng Mansion to search the three Suji jewelry shops in Yujie and East and West Avenues, and finally found that the Suji jewelry shop in Yujie happened to be missing. Five, six, seven or three account books.
It was inevitable that someone would quibble afterwards and make a mistake, so Su Yuan deliberately asked the jewelry store clerk about the sales volume of several precious jewelry last month.In this kind of shop, if the clerks sell particularly expensive jewelry, they will get extra rewards, such as green plum jade lotus hairpin, Yanqiu Taobuyao and other gold and jade jewelry, the clerks have their own counts.After Su Yuan asked, he compared the number of accounts in the account book in July, and it happened to be the same.
In this way, it can be very accurate. The three account books on the man in Tsing Yi came from Su Ji's jewelry shop in Yujie.
According to the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop, he handed over these three account books to Master Su's close servant yesterday to make money.
Zhan Zhao took out the portrait of a thin-faced Taoist priest, and asked the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop if he knew him.
The shopkeeper shook his head, saying he hadn't seen it.
Su Yuan, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao went straight to the Su Mansion, asking Su Jinjing for money from the servants, and asked Su Jinjing to cooperate with Kaifeng Mansion's investigation and answer the questions honestly.
"Just based on the three account books that I don't know where they came from, are you going to blame our Su family?"
Su Jinjing immediately expressed dissatisfaction, he looked at Zhan Zhao, and the person he questioned was also Zhan Zhao.When Su Jinjing saw Su Yuan in the past, he would always target him, but today it was as if he couldn't see Su Yuan.
Su Yuan became a little curious, and deliberately asked Su Jinjing: "Master Su is a guilty conscience, dare not look at me?"
At this time, Mrs. Li walked in with the support of Wang Po. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had cried hard.Su Yuan took a quick look and found that Li's left face looked different from the right face, it was slightly taller.Because of the gouache covering, the skin color looks normal without any redness or swelling.
"I'm too lazy to look at you. When I met you, you made me half dead! Since you don't want to admit to the Su family, then I can only pretend that I don't have your daughter!"
"Recognize me as a trivial matter." Su Yuan sneered, "Master Su is also the elder of a wealthy family, a well-known figure in the wealthy circle of the capital, and he still hits his own woman?"
When Mrs. Li heard Su Yuan's words, she quickly lowered her head and covered her left face with her hands.
Su Jinjing glanced at Mrs. Li, and said to Su Yuan angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? You Kaifeng government officials handle the case just relying on your own guesses and nonsense? So when you see the three account books, you blame me?"
Su Jinjing then explained why Li's face was swollen: "Yesterday, my eldest son was unfilial and offended me. It's okay for a father to teach his son, right? Who knows that his mother couldn't bear him to suffer, so she came up to block him suddenly, and that's why she made a wrong call." people."
"Then I'm not talking nonsense," Su Yuan said innocently, "It is true that Master Su beat Madam, and Master Su himself admitted just now, so is there anything wrong with my words?"
"You—" Su Jinjing held back his breath and couldn't let it out, so he could only stare at Su Yuan vigorously.
Only then did Zhan Zhao inform Su Jinjing of the result of checking the three account books with Suji Yujie Jewelry Shop. Su Jinjing couldn't quibble about it because of the multiple testimonies of the clerk and shopkeeper.
"Master Su, can you explain why you lied that these three account books have nothing to do with your Su family?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Su Jinjing was stunned for a moment, and then read the three account books again.
"I didn't see it clearly just now, but now I think about it carefully. This is a bit like the bookkeeping habits of our Suji Jewelry Shop. You officials may not be clear. Our Su family has a big business. At the end of every month, I have to check the books. There are hundreds of numbers, and it is impossible to remember every book clearly. Besides, I am getting older now, and I don’t read the accounts every month. Jincai will randomly check the accounts for me at the end of the month, and randomly choose a few shops to approach March's account was sent to me. I haven't read these three accounts, so I didn't recognize them for a while."
After listening to Su Jinjing's explanation, Zhan Zhao exchanged glances with Su Yuan and Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang acted more straightforwardly, and rolled his eyes coldly. He didn't speak because he had a good temper, but because he was in self-control.
Su Yuan expected that Su Jinjing would not take the initiative to plead guilty, so he nodded and asked Zhan Zhao to continue asking.
Zhan Zhao: "Then how does Master Su explain that the person in Tsing Yi will have the account books of your shop on him? Where is he now when the boy makes a fortune?"
"I don't know, he didn't come back after he went out to get the account books yesterday. Could that man in Tsing Yi rob Jincai and steal his belongings and account books?" Su Jinjing asked Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao undoubtedly looked back at Su Jinjing, and felt that if he kept asking questions, he might not be as good as Bai Yutang in controlling his temper.
"The robbery can barely be explained, so why use the ledger?"
"The accounts on the jewelry store are all valuable things. The thief may plan to rob the jewelry store after reading the accounts." After Su Jinjing finished speaking, he did not forget to add, "Of course this is only my personal guess. Jincai I really don't know what happened, and why those three accounts appeared on someone in Qingyi in Yanling County. It is the responsibility of your Kaifeng government to solve this case. I can only tell you again and again that I am innocent. I just asked for some peace and quiet in Wutao Bieyuan yesterday, drink some tea, and just calm down."
"There are witnesses to prove that Master Su has frequently appeared in Huangque Tower recently, and every time he went, Master Su's personal servant Jin Cai was not close to him. I don't know that Master Su went to Huangque Tower so coincidentally because he listened to storytelling. Or should I observe Yin Aoxue's situation and plan to set up a trick to order Yin Aoxue to kill me?" Su Yuan said without hesitation, "Everything shows that Master Su is very suspicious of you."
"I just went to the Yellow Bird Tower to listen to storytelling. How many guests listened there like me! What kind of Yin Aoxue, I have never seen before! Stop talking nonsense and frame me here! Mr. Zhan, you should take care of it Your subordinate. If she does this again, don't blame me for being rude! Go and sue your Kaifeng government officials for taking advantage of others' power and falsely accusing others." Su Jinjing suddenly said angrily.
"Miss Su is now a judicial officer of Kaifeng Mansion and joins the army. She is in charge of deliberating laws and sentencing sentences. She is not a subordinate of Zhan." Zhan Zhao said that he couldn't control it.
Su Jinjing was stunned for a moment, he was outside Beijing yesterday and failed to catch the news in the capital in time.After coming back, because of the boy in the study, he had a good argument with Su Fangming, so that he didn't sleep well at night, and he didn't have the energy to go out this morning.So it was only a day, and such a big incident happened, Su Yuan was actually banned?She is a woman and has not passed the scientific examination. If she is an official, she can only be granted by His Majesty.
Su Jinjing looked at Su Yuan in disbelief.
Su Yuan curled the corners of her mouth and tilted her head to give Su Jin a respectful smile. Of course, her smile was very provocative.
Su Jinjing was almost killed by Su Yuan's actions.
When Li Shi on the side heard the news, he covered his mouth with his hands in surprise, and tears filled his eyes when he looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan noticed Li Shi's abnormality, and turned to look at her.
Li Shi immediately lowered her head, and no one could see her face.
"Master Su, you have to be careful when you speak to me in the future. Remember to use respectful words and address me as an adult. Otherwise, if you are accidentally convicted of disrespect, you will not be wronged." Su Yuan sighed arrogantly, and did not avoid suspicion at all. Show a face of a villain.
Especially the word 'not wronged' in the last half of her sentence, which made Su Jinjing almost vomit blood after almost dying of anger.
The key to the current case lies in Jincai and Slim Face Taoist priests.
The three account books have already been explained by Su Jinjing as ignorance, and all of them are shirked on Jincai.
Only by finding these two people can it be possible to directly link Su Jinjing with the case and discuss whether Su Jinjing is the mastermind.
Now the thin-faced Taoist priest and Jincai are nowhere to be found.
Although the man in Tsing Yi was suspected of making money and changing his appearance, as long as there is no body to prove it, everything is speculation and speculation.
Zhan Zhao ordered the yamen servants to take the portrait of the thin-faced Taoist priest and ask around the house to see if anyone knew him.
Su Yuan also deliberately asked Su Jinjing if he knew the thin-faced Taoist priest.
Su Jinjing reacted flatly to the portrait, "I don't know it."
"Then Master Su should really know him, this person's thinking may coincide with Master Su's."
The thin-faced Taoist wanted to let Su Yuan die in the formation, and Su Jinjing also didn't want Su Yuan to live, and both of them wanted Su Yuan to die for the purpose of 'eliminating evil spirits'.
Although Su Jinjing never admitted that he wanted Su Yuan to die, everyone knew it well.
So Su Yuan's words are very ironic.
Although Su Jinjing was almost killed by Su Yuan's anger several times, his reason was still there, and he always insisted that he didn't know anything, and he didn't make any fresh statements after that.
It was meaningless to ask Su Jinjing any more, so the three of Su Yuan went to search Jincai's room.
Su Yuan tried to recall the figure of the man in Tsing Yi she saw at that time based on the fat and thin length of Jin Cai's robes in the closet and the size of the shoes.
"They are very similar in stature and about the same size as their feet."
From this point of view, the possibility of getting rich and making people in Tsing Yi more likely.
"Jin Cai shouldn't be acting alone, there are people walking with him. He can use a crossbow, and it's impossible to hide this from everyone around him." Su Yuan said to Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao promised, saying that it would allow people to investigate and recruit familiar people, but he was afraid that these people would keep their mouths tight because they were all from the Su family.
The canopy bed was hung with a white curtain, and Bai Yutang was standing by the curtain, looking at something.
Su Yuan leaned over to take a look, and saw four similar circular dirt on the white curtain, "It looks like dirty hands, scratched on it, and the marks left by four fingers."
As Su Yuan said, he measured it with his fingers.
Bai Yutang immediately stepped on the bed, leaning on the bed post where the curtain was hung, looked at the top of the canopy bed, and then jumped off.
"Have you found anything?" Su Yuan asked hurriedly.
"Yeah." Bai Yutang ordered someone to move the table, so that Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao could stand on the table and look at the top of the bed more intuitively.
The two stood up and watched.
Because it was inconvenient to clean the top of the bed, a thick layer of dust fell on it.Items have been stored on it, and there are traces left after the items were removed.There are two traces of dust, one is rectangular, and the other is more obvious, and it can be seen at a glance that it is the shape of a crossbow.
"The rectangular one should be a quiver." Bai Yutang speculated on this.
"Then does this count as evidence that he made money and became a man in Tsing Yi?" Su Yuan jumped off the table after asking a question.
Bai Yutang subconsciously wanted to reach out his hand, but when he saw her landed safely, he retracted it again.
Zhan Zhao pondered for a moment, then answered Su Yuan's question: "It should be counted."
"Then arrest Su Jinjing now?" Su Yuan asked again.
Zhan Zhao pondered for a while again, feeling that this question was difficult to answer, so he looked at Bai Yutang.
I thought that if it was Bai Yutang, he would definitely reply straightforwardly to arrest him, but he did not expect Bai Yutang to answer: "No arrest."
"Instead of leaving him room for sophistry, it is better to get solid evidence and then arrest people."
The Su family met a lot of dignitaries in Beijing, and the evidence is insufficient. Arresting them back will only increase the troubles of the Kaifeng Mansion, and make the Kaifeng Mansion have to scatter their energy to deal with those who criticize and intercede.It's better to keep this piece of evidence for the time being, focus on finding hard evidence, and then take people down in one fell swoop.
"Okay, you, think carefully, now the situation is big!" Zhan Zhao was full of emotion, and praised Bai Yutang for being more mature and calm.
Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao, obviously dissatisfied.
Zhan Zhao touched his nose in wonder, thinking what a good thing he said!
Jincai's room was sealed up as evidence, and a government official from Kaifeng Mansion was in charge of guarding it.
The idea of sending someone to guard the room came from Su Yuan. Standing outside the door, she deliberately explained to Zhan Zhao: "In order not to be destroyed by someone later, Su Jinjing denies it."
Zhan Zhao nodded, agreeing with what Su Yuan said, and deliberately kept four people behind to guard.
……
For two consecutive days, the Su Manor was quiet and nothing happened. Jin Cai disappeared completely, and no one knew where he was going.
Su Jinjing actually arranged for Jincai's parents to come to Kaifeng government to report to the officials, imploring the Kaifeng government officials to find their missing son as soon as possible.
Su Yuan asked Jincai's parents, "Can he know how to crossbow?"
Jincai's parents shook their heads.Just like Jincai, the couple are domestic servants of the Su Mansion.It's just that the husband and wife are in Chenliu to help the owner manage the Zhuangzi field, while Jincai has been by Su Jinjing's side and is reused.
"We haven't heard Jincai mention that he knows how to crossbow, probably not. Since he was young, he has quick legs and fast running, so he has won the favor of the boss. The boss said that when doing business, sometimes decisions can be made in a flash. There is a The boy who runs fast is the most important."
"It's running fast." Su Yuan felt that she was very strong physically. At that time, she chased the man in Tsing Yi all the way but failed to catch up, and almost let him escape on horseback.
This is another point that proves that Jincai turned into a person in Tsing Yi.
Su Yuan felt that he should thank Su Jinjing for this wave of initiative to send evidence.
"Miss Su, someone from the Eighth Prince's Mansion came to report the case and said
Yin Aoxue was beaten into a messy bun, and one side of her face was obviously red and swollen.
She knelt in the center of the courtroom and confessed what she had done while weeping.
The situation is basically as Xiong Tai confessed, Yin Aoxue was bewitched by Taoist priests, and because she was too infatuated with Zhan Zhao, she was lobbied by Taoist priests, and was led astray, so she made up her mind to attack Su Yuan.
It's just that this wrong path has been led a bit deep, and Yin Aoxue has not realized that she was deceived by the Taoist priest.
"I have nothing to say about success and defeat since ancient times."
Yin Aoxue looked at Su Yuan with red eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks one by one.She cried embarrassingly, but she didn't blink her eyes, and her face was full of stubbornness.
"You're lucky. I'm unlucky enough to beat you. If you lose, you lose, and you deserve to die."
If I had known that she should have done it herself, she should not have hesitated, and believed in Xiong Tai's idea, and hired someone to do it.She thought it was safe, but she didn't expect that Xiong Tai found two useless charlatans, whose skills were not as good as their Yin family's servants.
But in the end, it was Su Yuan's luck, a man in Tsing Yi suddenly appeared and shot Xiong Tai to death with a crossbow, otherwise Xiong Tai's martial arts would be more than enough to deal with her.
It was a foolproof thing, but I don't know why it is so complicated.
The funny thing is that when Zhan Zhao suddenly appeared to look for her just now, she thought that Xiong Tai had done the job, that the words of the Taoist priest had come true, and that her marriage had come!
However, the next moment, she found that Zhan Zhao was coming straight at her with his sword in hand, his eyes were full of murderous intent and disgust towards her, without saying a word, he shot her without hesitation.
Yin Aoxue had never seen Zhan Zhao attacking her so harshly. It turned out that Zhan Zhao gave way to her in previous competitions and did not take her face into consideration.But she was confident that she almost beat him every time, and as long as she practiced martial arts better, she would have a chance to beat him and marry him.
Yin Aoxue cried like rain, recalling Zhan Zhao's humility to her, she wanted to laugh happily, it was so good at that time, why was she not satisfied.It would be great if we could go back to the past.
She lost the bet, completely, and it was impossible for her to get Zhan Zhao's eyes.
Bao Zheng knocked on the gavel and reprimanded Yin Aoxue for being obsessed with obsession so far, "It's so stupid to use the theory of success and defeat to cover up your insidious and harmful actions."
"If I don't fight for this, I am doomed to have no good luck in this life. Instead of spending the rest of my life alone and alone, I will choose to gamble for the rest of my life. This kind of winning or losing must be gambled. Becoming a king and losing Kou." Yin Aoxue insisted on her own ideas.
"A stinky Taoist priest's bewitching words, do you believe it? If I knew it was so effective, I should have asked a Taoist priest to tell your fortune and tell you that you are a bedbug. You should die early, so as not to cause harm to the world." Bai Yutang sneered.
Zhan Zhao sneered, and continued, "Stop praising her, bedbugs are not as vicious as her."
At this time, Zhan Zhao hated Yin Aoxue to the extreme.
Yin Aoxue knew what she looked like now, and Zhan Zhao would definitely hate it when she saw her, but when she really heard Zhan Zhao sneer at her, she still couldn't control herself, her heart ached, and she cried bitterly.
But this is the result of her losing the bet, and she has to bear it. Who told her to be a loser, she lost completely.
"Do you really think that the Taoist priest who said those words to you will be a real person with superb Taoism? Can help you change your fate and let you find a good relationship?"
Seeing that Yin Aoxue was extremely sad, but still obsessed with obsession, Gongsun Ce shook his head helplessly, lamenting her stupidity and at the same time feeling sorry for her.This girl used to be a chivalrous warrior, if she hadn't gone astray this time, she might have a good fortune in the future and become a famous martial arts chivalrous woman.
"True cultivators always seek goodness and save people through calamities. There is a saying in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching": 'Live in a good place, have a good heart, be with good people, speak good faith, govern well, do good things and do good things at a good time' The words of the Taoist patriarch are completely contrary to the words of the Taoist priest who instigated you to harm others. Could it be that you are saying that the Taoist patriarch was wrong? The Taoist priest you believe in who made you do evil and kill people is right? No Serious cultivators are fake Taoists, charlatans, how can you trust their words?"
Yin Aoxue was stunned again and again, and then she realized that she seemed to have been sidelined by that Taoist priest.
"But why did he lie to me? He wasn't greedy for my money. After he instructed me, he didn't take any money, and he left."
"There is a word in the world called 'use', and another word called 'borrowing a knife to kill'." Bai Yutang couldn't help ridiculing again, and glanced at Yin Aoxue contemptuously, "Sure enough, people need to read more."
"Those who don't read are not as stupid as she is." Wang Chao imitated Zhan Zhao's previous sentence pattern and followed up.
Yin Aoxue fell to the ground and cried bitterly with regret, yes, why is she so stupid, why did she trust the Taoist priest's words.It was because she believed the Taoist's nonsense that she completely ruined this life!She regrets so much...
But it's useless to regret it any more. A beautiful girl in her twenties and eight years has a strong martial arts and a family background that martial arts people envy, but she has to plead guilty and be executed for this.
"Well, she will have a better choice if she lets go of her obsession. With her talent, appearance and family background, how can she worry about finding a good relationship again? But she has to go all the way to the dark at any cost."
Wang Chao lamented that this person really can't be stupid, even if he is stupid, he can't have evil thoughts and have the intention of harming others, otherwise the retribution will come back to him sooner or later.
"Last time in Shaliupo, she admitted her mistake so sincerely that I thought the matter was over." Su Yuan also felt that Yin Aoxue had missed it.
Zhang Long couldn't figure it out: "I've heard some stories about her being a chivalrous man in Jianghu before, and I don't think she is stupid. How could she believe everything when a strange Taoist priest said something nonsense to her?" gone?"
"The Kaifeng government has dealt with many cases of charlatans over the years. Many of the scammers' methods are very clumsy, and their words are more than one nonsense. Some people are deceived because of this, and they believe in their words. The root cause is, It is to take advantage of people's greed for luck. The more anxious a person is for something, the easier it is to be deceived. Apparently, in the case of Yin Aoxue, someone knew her infatuation with Zhan Huwei, so he used her thoughts to do something for her. set."
Gongsun Ce went out to call Su Yuan, and after listening to their discussion, he also said a few words of emotion.
Wang Chao and others agreed one after another, sighing that Mr. Gongsun could understand.
"Mr. Gongsun, why are you looking for Miss Su?" Ma Han asked curiously when he saw the two of them leave.
"You still want to eat scorpion meat wontons?" Wang Chao casually guessed.
Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu looked at Wang Chao at the same time, and asked him what scorpion meat wontons were in unison.
Wang Chao was stunned, and was about to run away, but was immediately chased by Ma Han and three people.
"Well, let me just say that Miss Su sent four bowls of wontons over last night. Why did you suddenly refuse to eat them generously and gave us your share. So it was scorpion meat wontons?"
"But when we asked you what the stuffing was, how did you say it was sea cucumber wonton?"
"Hit him!"
The three of them stretched out their hands and slapped Wang Chao.
Wang Chao held his head and yelled "Lord Bao", Ma Han and the other three immediately stopped and stood upright.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Chao rushed out of the encirclement of the three and successfully slipped away.
Ma Han and the three immediately chased after him.
……
Su Yuan followed Gongsun Ce to the study, and saw the portrait of the thin-faced Taoist priest on the table.
Yin Aoxue had already confirmed it when she made the confession just now. It was this Taoist priest who ran into her in the Yellow Bird Tower, and nagged her to arrange her marriage, and tricked her into killing people according to the formation he guided.
"When he talked about marriage with Yin Aoxue, he said that you are a 'sha'. This statement has something to do with the order that Taoist Master Wangchuan gave you. So the first possibility is that this Taoist priest is related to Taoist Master Wangchuan. He Instigated by him, I went to find Yin Aoxue and plotted against you. The second possibility is that this Taoist priest has nothing to do with the Taoist Master Wangchuan, but was employed by Su Jinjing. Su Jinjing deliberately arranged for him to get close to Yin Aoxue. The third possibility is that he and Wangchuan Daoist Chuan and Su Jinjing have nothing to do, they were hired by other people to deal with you."
Gongsun Ce felt that the third possibility was the least, but it could not be ruled out, so he said it comprehensively.
Judging from the clues obtained so far, the suspect most pointed to by the evidence is Su Jinjing.The matter of Su Yuan originally belonged to Su Jinjing's family affairs. As the head of Wangchuan, it is unlikely that he would directly take action against Su Yuan.Su Jinjing has money and people, so he will naturally solve it by himself.
After listening to Gongsun Ce's words, Su Yuan looked at him with some confusion: "Master suddenly told me this again on purpose, what's the reason?"
Gongsun Ce laughed, "What did you secretly discuss with Bai Huwei today? But what plan did you make, and it has something to do with Daoist Wangchuan?"
Su Yuan was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Gongsun Ce would notice this matter. He is indeed a scheming figure.
"It's just chatting, I didn't say anything." Su Yuan smiled at Gongsun Ce, not intending to admit it.
Seeing Su Yuan's reaction, Gongsun Ce knew that he had guessed right, that something must have happened to these two people.
"Being a teacher is not a stubborn person, but the case of Yin Aoxue should be taken as a warning, and you must not go astray because of impatience, and walk on the road of no return. The two of you should behave properly, do you know?" Gongsun Ce calls Su Yuandao.
"Master, don't worry, there will be a measure." Su Yuan assured Gongsun Ce.They are not stupid enough to do things that kill people.
Gongsun Ce glanced at Su Yuan meaningfully, seeing that she still had no intention of confessing, he sighed, "Forget it, it's good to be modest, so I won't ask any more questions."
Since the child refuses to speak, it must not be a serious trick.Probably she was afraid of telling it out, and if he knew about it, if he concealed it, it would cause him to be difficult to explain in front of Mr. Bao.In fact, why is he afraid of these things?Don't look at him usually being gentle and gentle, but he is actually bloody in his bones, otherwise he wouldn't choose to work with the poor Master Bao.
But children's good intentions must always be taken care of, and they should not be embarrassing.
"Then you go." Gongsun Ce sent Su Yuan away.
Gongsun Ce glanced at the Taoist portrait on the table, and was about to roll it up, when someone knocked on the east window.
As soon as Gongsun Ce opened the window, he saw a black face, which shocked him.
It was just after dusk, and it was a little dark, but not completely dark.Mr. Bao chooses this opportunity to stand outside the window, his face blends in with the night, which is scarier than ghosts.
"Why are you here, my lord? If you come from your side, it seems that you don't need to pass through this window?" With Gongsun Ce's wit, he naturally sensed that something went wrong.
"Mr.'s apprentice has tricks in his heart, so it's only natural for the government to monitor him once or twice." Bao Zheng coughed lightly, and gave a high-sounding explanation for his behavior of listening to the wall.
Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, pretending to be ignorant, and curiously asked Bao Zheng what was so tricky.
"You know it well." Bao Zheng, like Gongsun Ce, also saw Su Yuan and Bai Yutang whispering.The two of them chose to discuss things at that time, and he also guessed that it might have something to do with Taoist Wang Chuan.
Originally, when he saw Gongsun Ce looking for Su Yuan, he thought they could confess to each other, but he didn't expect him to be a "thief" listening to the root of the wall for nothing, and he didn't hear anything.
"It's okay for the two children to behave properly," Gongsun Ce said.
Bao Zheng glanced at Gongsun Ce: "It's hard to be convincing, I didn't ask what's the matter, how do I know it's all right?"
Gongsun Ce just smiled and said nothing.
Anyway, if Mr. Bao wants to ask, then let him ask. The result is probably the same, and he can't ask.
"Even if you don't ask this, then you should ask, when can we have a wedding wine?" When Bao Zheng asked this question, his eyes were more curious than before.
He is not Su Yuan's master, so it is not appropriate for him to ask this kind of question.Bao Zheng blamed Gongsun Ce, a master, for not caring enough about his apprentices. It was a matter of her life, so she should always ask her about it and give her some advice.
Since he mentioned Su Yuan's lifelong event to Bao Zheng last time, Gongsun Ce discovered that Bao Zheng was particularly concerned about Su Yuan's marriage.But Gongsun Ce didn't expect that Bao Zheng's concern in this aspect would continue undiminished after such a long time.
In fact, he also wanted to ask a little bit, but the two young people didn't know how far they had progressed. If they rashly pointed it out, they would feel embarrassed and stop seeing each other, wouldn't it be a big loss.
Gongsun Ce advised Bao Zheng not to worry and wait.
"This kind of thing should give them more time for young people. If it is really a good match, we will have a wedding day. But since Mr. Bao is looking forward to it so much, it is time to start saving money. When they get married, it will happen It’s a great gift to give.”
After all, Mr. Bao is a poor official, and his money is limited, so it is necessary to make plans early.As a master, he can't let his precious apprentice suffer a disadvantage in receiving congratulatory gifts.With an extra tael of silver, his precious apprentice can eat two more meals of meat.
Bao Zheng laughed helplessly, and sighed that Gongsun Ce was so scheming, but he would definitely give a big gift to Su Yuan.
After Bao Zheng returned home, he immediately recruited the housekeeper, and told him to be more frugal in the expenses of the house in the future, and he wanted to save a dowry for Su Yuan.Since Su Yuan grew up in Kaifeng Mansion, he is naturally considered the daughter of Kaifeng Mansion, so as the Governor of Kaifeng Mansion, he must give a dowry as well as a congratulatory gift!
The housekeeper has always liked Su Yuan very much, and he is very happy that his master is planning for Su Yuan's future, but at this moment he is a little troubled: "My lord, our house is already frugal enough, if we save more, the little ones don't know what to do." The place is saved."
"There is no need to make new clothes this autumn. The old clothes are not worn out, just wear the old ones. If there is nothing else to do at night, just leave a lamp in the room. If you can save lamp oil, you can save money." Bao Zheng gave an example.
The housekeeper nodded to show that he understood, and then asked Bao Zheng if he should save some money in the kitchen, such as reducing meat dishes and eating vegetarian food as much as possible.
"It's not necessary to ask everyone to work when you are hungry."
The kitchen the butler mentioned was not the kitchen in Kaifeng Mansion that was in charge of the official meals, but the small kitchen in the Bao family's side, which was in charge of the meals of the Bao family and servants.Although Bao Zheng didn't come back to eat often, but after being influenced by Su Yuan, he knew the truth that eating well is the key to doing a good job.This money should be saved on oneself, how can it be saved on the lips of the servants.
After listening to Bao Zheng's words, the butler was quite upset.
It's good to follow the right master, knowing how to feel sorry for them servants!
……
At noon, Su Yuan finally met Su Fangming.
After Su Fangming sized up Su Yuan, he sighed, "It's good that you're fine."
"I heard that when I was away, you and your father broke up? Shopkeeper Lou said last night that you couldn't get away at home. Did your father make things difficult for you?"
"I touched the boy in his study, he will inevitably get angry, it's nothing serious, no matter what he says, I won't listen to it." Su Fangming explained.
Shopkeeper Lou, who was standing by the side, felt sorry for his uncle for making a big deal out of it, and couldn't help but said, "It's nothing important? Master Su withdrew all the businesses in his hands."
Su Yuan looked at Su Fangming in surprise.
Su Fangming warned shopkeeper Lou with his eyes, waved him away, and then invited Su Yuan to drink tea with a light smile.
"This matter is nothing compared to your life-threatening experience. Besides, the Su family has so many businesses, and he is too old to be busy. He will still ask me to help return the shops I manage in a short time. I It’s a good thing to take this opportunity to rest for a few days.”
Seeing that Su Fangming was really open-minded, Su Yuan stopped persuading him. First, he asked Su Fangming to identify the portraits of the man in Tsing Yi and the Taoist priest with a thin face.
Su Fangming shook his head immediately after seeing it, "I don't know these two people."
Su Yuan then showed the account book to Su Fangming for identification.
After flipping through it, Su Fangming said to Su Yuan: "The bookkeeping habits of these three books are similar to those of the Su family. Five, six, and seven refer to the month, and the methods of bookkeeping are all left gold and right silver. Sha Hua Such jewelry is classified as silver, pearls, gemstones, corals, etc. are classified as gold, and the green plum jade lotus hairpin and Yanqiu Taobuyao are the characteristics of the Su family jewelry shop. These three books should be wrong in the account books of the Su family. No."
Su Fangming then used the abacus to calculate the total turnover recorded in the next three books, and told Su Yuan that there were only three Su Ji jewelry shops in the capital that met the conditions in the books.
"The amount involved is relatively large, and only the three largest jewelry stores in Yujie, Dongdajie and Xidajie can reach it." Su Fangming did not hide any secrets, and told Su Yuan all the situation in a calm voice.
After Su Yuan heard this, logically speaking, she should feel happy or relieved that the clues had progressed, but facing Su Fangming like this, she felt a little heavy.
After all, Su Jinjing was the one who raised Su Fangming and was the source of his life.Father's love is like a mountain, the person who should have given Su Fang love and security.It is actually very painful for a person to deny his origin and expose his biological father who raised him.Even though Su Fangming has practiced Taoism for many years and became more pure-hearted and ascetic, he is still a mortal and not a god. He has flesh and blood, and has perception. It is impossible for him to be completely indifferent.Otherwise, he would not have come to negotiate terms with her in order to protect Su Jinjing.
This kind of pain of self-cutting wounds and gouging out rotten flesh, he bears by himself.Now the more calm and indifferent he looks on his face, the more people worry about him.
"By the way, I haven't seen Jin Cai go back to the mansion so far." Su Fangming provided another clue.
After Su Fangming took a sip of tea, he didn't hear Su Yuan respond to him.He raised his eyes and forgot to take a look at Su Yuan, only to realize that Su Yuan had been looking at him.Su Fangming then asked Su Yuan if he had any questions.
Su Yuan nodded, indicating that she did have doubts.
Su Yuan stared at Su Fangming, and asked him solemnly, "Are you okay?"
"Not good." Su Fangming's voice was flat, he lowered his eyes, and there was not much emotion on his face, "But if I promised you, I will definitely do it. Don't worry about that."
He said that if Su Jinjing did something illegal, he would help Su Yuan send Su Jinjing to the jail in Kaifeng Mansion, and then he would do his best to assist Su Yuan in investigating the case.
"I don't know how to comfort you. Some pains can only be borne by myself. Others can't help, and words of comfort are useless. But if you need me, for example, if you want to eat something delicious, you want me to Listen to you or talk to you, wherever you go with you, you can find me." Su Yuan said.
Su Fangming clenched the teacup in his hand and looked at Su Yuan: "Then if I say, after losing a relative, I still want to be greedy to get another relative?"
"Then you should have deserved it long ago." Su Yuan smiled, and called Su Fangming crisply, "Brother."
After Su Fangming hesitated for a moment, he blinked slowly, then raised his head in surprise, meeting Su Yuan's eyes.
After a long while, Su Fangming said "hmm".
He loosened his grip on the teacup, and finally relaxed a bit.
……
After a stick of incense, Su Yuan, Bai Yutang, and Zhan Zhao took the officials of Kaifeng Mansion to search the three Suji jewelry shops in Yujie and East and West Avenues, and finally found that the Suji jewelry shop in Yujie happened to be missing. Five, six, seven or three account books.
It was inevitable that someone would quibble afterwards and make a mistake, so Su Yuan deliberately asked the jewelry store clerk about the sales volume of several precious jewelry last month.In this kind of shop, if the clerks sell particularly expensive jewelry, they will get extra rewards, such as green plum jade lotus hairpin, Yanqiu Taobuyao and other gold and jade jewelry, the clerks have their own counts.After Su Yuan asked, he compared the number of accounts in the account book in July, and it happened to be the same.
In this way, it can be very accurate. The three account books on the man in Tsing Yi came from Su Ji's jewelry shop in Yujie.
According to the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop, he handed over these three account books to Master Su's close servant yesterday to make money.
Zhan Zhao took out the portrait of a thin-faced Taoist priest, and asked the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop if he knew him.
The shopkeeper shook his head, saying he hadn't seen it.
Su Yuan, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao went straight to the Su Mansion, asking Su Jinjing for money from the servants, and asked Su Jinjing to cooperate with Kaifeng Mansion's investigation and answer the questions honestly.
"Just based on the three account books that I don't know where they came from, are you going to blame our Su family?"
Su Jinjing immediately expressed dissatisfaction, he looked at Zhan Zhao, and the person he questioned was also Zhan Zhao.When Su Jinjing saw Su Yuan in the past, he would always target him, but today it was as if he couldn't see Su Yuan.
Su Yuan became a little curious, and deliberately asked Su Jinjing: "Master Su is a guilty conscience, dare not look at me?"
At this time, Mrs. Li walked in with the support of Wang Po. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had cried hard.Su Yuan took a quick look and found that Li's left face looked different from the right face, it was slightly taller.Because of the gouache covering, the skin color looks normal without any redness or swelling.
"I'm too lazy to look at you. When I met you, you made me half dead! Since you don't want to admit to the Su family, then I can only pretend that I don't have your daughter!"
"Recognize me as a trivial matter." Su Yuan sneered, "Master Su is also the elder of a wealthy family, a well-known figure in the wealthy circle of the capital, and he still hits his own woman?"
When Mrs. Li heard Su Yuan's words, she quickly lowered her head and covered her left face with her hands.
Su Jinjing glanced at Mrs. Li, and said to Su Yuan angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? You Kaifeng government officials handle the case just relying on your own guesses and nonsense? So when you see the three account books, you blame me?"
Su Jinjing then explained why Li's face was swollen: "Yesterday, my eldest son was unfilial and offended me. It's okay for a father to teach his son, right? Who knows that his mother couldn't bear him to suffer, so she came up to block him suddenly, and that's why she made a wrong call." people."
"Then I'm not talking nonsense," Su Yuan said innocently, "It is true that Master Su beat Madam, and Master Su himself admitted just now, so is there anything wrong with my words?"
"You—" Su Jinjing held back his breath and couldn't let it out, so he could only stare at Su Yuan vigorously.
Only then did Zhan Zhao inform Su Jinjing of the result of checking the three account books with Suji Yujie Jewelry Shop. Su Jinjing couldn't quibble about it because of the multiple testimonies of the clerk and shopkeeper.
"Master Su, can you explain why you lied that these three account books have nothing to do with your Su family?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Su Jinjing was stunned for a moment, and then read the three account books again.
"I didn't see it clearly just now, but now I think about it carefully. This is a bit like the bookkeeping habits of our Suji Jewelry Shop. You officials may not be clear. Our Su family has a big business. At the end of every month, I have to check the books. There are hundreds of numbers, and it is impossible to remember every book clearly. Besides, I am getting older now, and I don’t read the accounts every month. Jincai will randomly check the accounts for me at the end of the month, and randomly choose a few shops to approach March's account was sent to me. I haven't read these three accounts, so I didn't recognize them for a while."
After listening to Su Jinjing's explanation, Zhan Zhao exchanged glances with Su Yuan and Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang acted more straightforwardly, and rolled his eyes coldly. He didn't speak because he had a good temper, but because he was in self-control.
Su Yuan expected that Su Jinjing would not take the initiative to plead guilty, so he nodded and asked Zhan Zhao to continue asking.
Zhan Zhao: "Then how does Master Su explain that the person in Tsing Yi will have the account books of your shop on him? Where is he now when the boy makes a fortune?"
"I don't know, he didn't come back after he went out to get the account books yesterday. Could that man in Tsing Yi rob Jincai and steal his belongings and account books?" Su Jinjing asked Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao undoubtedly looked back at Su Jinjing, and felt that if he kept asking questions, he might not be as good as Bai Yutang in controlling his temper.
"The robbery can barely be explained, so why use the ledger?"
"The accounts on the jewelry store are all valuable things. The thief may plan to rob the jewelry store after reading the accounts." After Su Jinjing finished speaking, he did not forget to add, "Of course this is only my personal guess. Jincai I really don't know what happened, and why those three accounts appeared on someone in Qingyi in Yanling County. It is the responsibility of your Kaifeng government to solve this case. I can only tell you again and again that I am innocent. I just asked for some peace and quiet in Wutao Bieyuan yesterday, drink some tea, and just calm down."
"There are witnesses to prove that Master Su has frequently appeared in Huangque Tower recently, and every time he went, Master Su's personal servant Jin Cai was not close to him. I don't know that Master Su went to Huangque Tower so coincidentally because he listened to storytelling. Or should I observe Yin Aoxue's situation and plan to set up a trick to order Yin Aoxue to kill me?" Su Yuan said without hesitation, "Everything shows that Master Su is very suspicious of you."
"I just went to the Yellow Bird Tower to listen to storytelling. How many guests listened there like me! What kind of Yin Aoxue, I have never seen before! Stop talking nonsense and frame me here! Mr. Zhan, you should take care of it Your subordinate. If she does this again, don't blame me for being rude! Go and sue your Kaifeng government officials for taking advantage of others' power and falsely accusing others." Su Jinjing suddenly said angrily.
"Miss Su is now a judicial officer of Kaifeng Mansion and joins the army. She is in charge of deliberating laws and sentencing sentences. She is not a subordinate of Zhan." Zhan Zhao said that he couldn't control it.
Su Jinjing was stunned for a moment, he was outside Beijing yesterday and failed to catch the news in the capital in time.After coming back, because of the boy in the study, he had a good argument with Su Fangming, so that he didn't sleep well at night, and he didn't have the energy to go out this morning.So it was only a day, and such a big incident happened, Su Yuan was actually banned?She is a woman and has not passed the scientific examination. If she is an official, she can only be granted by His Majesty.
Su Jinjing looked at Su Yuan in disbelief.
Su Yuan curled the corners of her mouth and tilted her head to give Su Jin a respectful smile. Of course, her smile was very provocative.
Su Jinjing was almost killed by Su Yuan's actions.
When Li Shi on the side heard the news, he covered his mouth with his hands in surprise, and tears filled his eyes when he looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan noticed Li Shi's abnormality, and turned to look at her.
Li Shi immediately lowered her head, and no one could see her face.
"Master Su, you have to be careful when you speak to me in the future. Remember to use respectful words and address me as an adult. Otherwise, if you are accidentally convicted of disrespect, you will not be wronged." Su Yuan sighed arrogantly, and did not avoid suspicion at all. Show a face of a villain.
Especially the word 'not wronged' in the last half of her sentence, which made Su Jinjing almost vomit blood after almost dying of anger.
The key to the current case lies in Jincai and Slim Face Taoist priests.
The three account books have already been explained by Su Jinjing as ignorance, and all of them are shirked on Jincai.
Only by finding these two people can it be possible to directly link Su Jinjing with the case and discuss whether Su Jinjing is the mastermind.
Now the thin-faced Taoist priest and Jincai are nowhere to be found.
Although the man in Tsing Yi was suspected of making money and changing his appearance, as long as there is no body to prove it, everything is speculation and speculation.
Zhan Zhao ordered the yamen servants to take the portrait of the thin-faced Taoist priest and ask around the house to see if anyone knew him.
Su Yuan also deliberately asked Su Jinjing if he knew the thin-faced Taoist priest.
Su Jinjing reacted flatly to the portrait, "I don't know it."
"Then Master Su should really know him, this person's thinking may coincide with Master Su's."
The thin-faced Taoist wanted to let Su Yuan die in the formation, and Su Jinjing also didn't want Su Yuan to live, and both of them wanted Su Yuan to die for the purpose of 'eliminating evil spirits'.
Although Su Jinjing never admitted that he wanted Su Yuan to die, everyone knew it well.
So Su Yuan's words are very ironic.
Although Su Jinjing was almost killed by Su Yuan's anger several times, his reason was still there, and he always insisted that he didn't know anything, and he didn't make any fresh statements after that.
It was meaningless to ask Su Jinjing any more, so the three of Su Yuan went to search Jincai's room.
Su Yuan tried to recall the figure of the man in Tsing Yi she saw at that time based on the fat and thin length of Jin Cai's robes in the closet and the size of the shoes.
"They are very similar in stature and about the same size as their feet."
From this point of view, the possibility of getting rich and making people in Tsing Yi more likely.
"Jin Cai shouldn't be acting alone, there are people walking with him. He can use a crossbow, and it's impossible to hide this from everyone around him." Su Yuan said to Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao promised, saying that it would allow people to investigate and recruit familiar people, but he was afraid that these people would keep their mouths tight because they were all from the Su family.
The canopy bed was hung with a white curtain, and Bai Yutang was standing by the curtain, looking at something.
Su Yuan leaned over to take a look, and saw four similar circular dirt on the white curtain, "It looks like dirty hands, scratched on it, and the marks left by four fingers."
As Su Yuan said, he measured it with his fingers.
Bai Yutang immediately stepped on the bed, leaning on the bed post where the curtain was hung, looked at the top of the canopy bed, and then jumped off.
"Have you found anything?" Su Yuan asked hurriedly.
"Yeah." Bai Yutang ordered someone to move the table, so that Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao could stand on the table and look at the top of the bed more intuitively.
The two stood up and watched.
Because it was inconvenient to clean the top of the bed, a thick layer of dust fell on it.Items have been stored on it, and there are traces left after the items were removed.There are two traces of dust, one is rectangular, and the other is more obvious, and it can be seen at a glance that it is the shape of a crossbow.
"The rectangular one should be a quiver." Bai Yutang speculated on this.
"Then does this count as evidence that he made money and became a man in Tsing Yi?" Su Yuan jumped off the table after asking a question.
Bai Yutang subconsciously wanted to reach out his hand, but when he saw her landed safely, he retracted it again.
Zhan Zhao pondered for a moment, then answered Su Yuan's question: "It should be counted."
"Then arrest Su Jinjing now?" Su Yuan asked again.
Zhan Zhao pondered for a while again, feeling that this question was difficult to answer, so he looked at Bai Yutang.
I thought that if it was Bai Yutang, he would definitely reply straightforwardly to arrest him, but he did not expect Bai Yutang to answer: "No arrest."
"Instead of leaving him room for sophistry, it is better to get solid evidence and then arrest people."
The Su family met a lot of dignitaries in Beijing, and the evidence is insufficient. Arresting them back will only increase the troubles of the Kaifeng Mansion, and make the Kaifeng Mansion have to scatter their energy to deal with those who criticize and intercede.It's better to keep this piece of evidence for the time being, focus on finding hard evidence, and then take people down in one fell swoop.
"Okay, you, think carefully, now the situation is big!" Zhan Zhao was full of emotion, and praised Bai Yutang for being more mature and calm.
Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao, obviously dissatisfied.
Zhan Zhao touched his nose in wonder, thinking what a good thing he said!
Jincai's room was sealed up as evidence, and a government official from Kaifeng Mansion was in charge of guarding it.
The idea of sending someone to guard the room came from Su Yuan. Standing outside the door, she deliberately explained to Zhan Zhao: "In order not to be destroyed by someone later, Su Jinjing denies it."
Zhan Zhao nodded, agreeing with what Su Yuan said, and deliberately kept four people behind to guard.
……
For two consecutive days, the Su Manor was quiet and nothing happened. Jin Cai disappeared completely, and no one knew where he was going.
Su Jinjing actually arranged for Jincai's parents to come to Kaifeng government to report to the officials, imploring the Kaifeng government officials to find their missing son as soon as possible.
Su Yuan asked Jincai's parents, "Can he know how to crossbow?"
Jincai's parents shook their heads.Just like Jincai, the couple are domestic servants of the Su Mansion.It's just that the husband and wife are in Chenliu to help the owner manage the Zhuangzi field, while Jincai has been by Su Jinjing's side and is reused.
"We haven't heard Jincai mention that he knows how to crossbow, probably not. Since he was young, he has quick legs and fast running, so he has won the favor of the boss. The boss said that when doing business, sometimes decisions can be made in a flash. There is a The boy who runs fast is the most important."
"It's running fast." Su Yuan felt that she was very strong physically. At that time, she chased the man in Tsing Yi all the way but failed to catch up, and almost let him escape on horseback.
This is another point that proves that Jincai turned into a person in Tsing Yi.
Su Yuan felt that he should thank Su Jinjing for this wave of initiative to send evidence.
"Miss Su, someone from the Eighth Prince's Mansion came to report the case and said
