Startled Meng

The teacup was broken all over the floor, and even the best blue and white pattern was worthless.

Yan Cijing looked down, the splashed tea dazzled the shoes, and the dark green tea leaves stuck to the corner of his robe.

The culprit upstairs apologized generously: "Slippage! Master Yan, take care of me!"

Yan Cijing didn't want to ask whether his hands were slippery, rolled up his sleeves, and clutched the hard-pressed white jade porcelain bottle, his five fingers were a little white, and he continued to walk forward, rolling all the debris under his feet.

There was a commotion in front, and the sound of horse treading became more and more harsh, and someone came riding a horse.

Pedestrians evaded one after another, but Yan Cijing did not stand still, and when the man tightened the reins, the horse neighed, its front hooves stomped, and the smoke and dust were blown away, even the broken tea leaves from the corner of his robe were blown away. Shouting people indifferently:

"Master Commander."

"Master Yan is polite!" Xie Xuan finished greeting Yan Cijing, frowned, and stretched out two fingers: "Throwing objects in the sky! You will be sued if you smash someone to death!"

"Injustice!" Yu Fangzhi stepped forward, "It's an object falling from a height!"

Xie Xuan was surprised: "Brother Yu! Are you there too?" Seeing Yan Cijing was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Master Yan, please stop. I don't know if you know something?"

Yu Fangzhi was watching upstairs, Xie Xuan called Yan Cijing and the shopkeepers over for questioning, but he didn't seem to get any useful information, soon, Xie Xuan let Yan Cijing and the shopkeepers go up.

Yu Fangzhi wanted to mention Xie Xuan, so he waved his hand and called him up.

Xie Xuan went up to the second floor and saw that the long sword was unloaded: "Hey! I chewed two steamed buns this morning, brother Yu understands me!" Xie Xuan was so busy that he was dizzy when he encountered that kind of thing again. , early in the morning, I heard that there was a clue here, so I hurried over again. It was already past noon and I hadn't eaten yet. Yu Fang knew that this move was timely.

Don't care about anything!Xie Xuan first fucking chewed half a bowl of rice to fill his stomach!

Yu Fangzhi was not in a hurry, he waited for him to eat first, and asked Xiaoqing to pack some dry food for Xie Xuan to take back.

"Master Commander?"

"Fucking Commander! Brother Yu just call me by my name!" Xie Xuan sat down and ironed the post, seeing that Yu was particularly pleasing to the eye, he grinned, "Brother Yu also knows about the case of Furongqu, right? "

Yu Fangzhi nodded: "I just found out that the guy who died was my shopkeeper's buddy, and the death is unclear, so I'm afraid..."

Xie Xuan waved his hand: "Brother Yu, don't worry too much. It is estimated that the guy knew that the enemy came to seek revenge. He wanted to swim out of the city in the middle of the night to escape for his life, but was caught up by the enemy. Seeing blood seal his throat, it has nothing to do with the cloth shop. If you die in the store, you don't need to close the store, and you don't delay making money."

Yu Fangzhi let out an "oh" and frowned: "Do you know who is seeking revenge? What kind of revenge are you looking for?"

Xie Xuan coughed twice: "Although I found the corpse, the case is still in the government office, but because Brother Yu asked you, I will tell you quietly."

Yu Fangzhi knew that he couldn't hide secrets in his heart, and he would definitely answer if asked, but he nodded cooperatively and leaned his head to listen.

"The deceased's original name was Wu Tianchou. He was a raw silk seller. He had never been in Beijing before. This year, he also heard that the price of raw silk in Beijing was good. He wanted to make a fortune. He went to Beijing under the pseudonym He Tianchou. However, when the Ministry of Household Affairs raised taxes this year, Boss Bu Xingqin couldn't do anything good." After asking around, no one was willing to raise the price, so Wu Tian raised money in Beijing, so he was all-in-one? Therefore, he hated the Ministry of Accounts. A few days ago, he had a verbal dispute with Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Accounts. I asked around just now, and the shopkeepers below all guessed that Chen Shilang hired someone to do it."

Xie Xuan acted as if he had something to say, making Yu Fang feel a little speechless. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Are you sure?"

Xie Xuan shook his head hesitantly: "Chen Shilang also asked, probably not, there is no point! I am really angry, find someone to beat me with a sack to relieve my anger, and there is no point in killing someone."

Yu Fangzhi glanced over Xie Xuan, and saw that the shopkeepers below were still gathered together. Aren't they the ones who spread the rumor that Chen Shilang is the murderer?His door is clear!These old guys are waiting for the government to find out the fault of the Ministry of Accounts, so that the Ministry of Accounts can restrain itself and reduce the business tax this year.

Yu Fangzhi: "Just now you said that Wu Tianchou entered Beijing under the pseudonym He, and he was not selling contraband. Why bother? Could it be that he really has some unresolved deep hatred with others and dare not show his real name to others?"

Xie Xuan sighed: "Who knows? I don't know who offended."

"It's either rich or expensive." Yu Fangzhi took a sip of tea leisurely, "According to what you said, how can ordinary people have such a method to seal their throats when they see blood?"

Xie Xuan snatched Yu Fangzhi's teacup: "Really! At that time, there was a piece of gold leaf wrapped in black cloth on the wall. How can ordinary people have such skill?"

Yu Fangzhi said again: "He and Wu Tianchou have never been to Beijing before—"

Xie Xuan chuckled: "That doesn't look like you! He has never been to Yecheng, maybe he is also a local rich man!"

Yu Fangzhi: "...It is true that I have never been to Ye City, but Wu Tianchou is not necessarily."

Xie Xuan was stunned: "Wait!" After eating and drinking enough, his forehead that was covered with meat soup finally opened up.

"If you didn't enter Beijing before, it doesn't mean you haven't been to Beijing. Maybe someone left to hide from someone! I have a clue! Let's go!" Xie Xuan said exactly what he said, and he was going to report to the government office immediately, and he didn't forget to pick up Xiaoqing before leaving. Hand cut beef by hand.

Yu Fang knew that since Xie Xuan left, he had been silent all the time, and it looked calm, but in fact, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

He called: "Xiao Qing, open the window wider, it's too hot!"

The window opened, but the person who opened the window was silent, and walked slowly behind Yu Fangzhi: "Master."

Yu Fangzhi's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Ru Ku, you are here."

Ruku dressed up as a mistress this time, and sneaked into the teahouse just to know the language: "Wu Tianchou's files in Beijing in his early years have been released, and anyone who is interested will know."

"Ah."

"The information I was asked to check last time has also been found."

"Say."

"Yan Cijing, a native of Gan County, Huizhou. His grandfather used to be the county magistrate of that place. His parents died early. In Yuankang's 56th year, he was admitted as a Tongsheng. His parents died one after another in the same year. He was appreciated by the county magistrate at that time because of his youth and intelligence. In the first year of Chengzhou, he went alone. -"

Yu Fangzhi interrupted with a wave of his hand: "If the household registration is fake, check again!"

Ruku: "I have already retrieved all Yan Cijing's registered household registration information. If we want to continue to investigate, we can only send people to Ganzhou. The time is probably..."

Yu Fangzhi's eyes turned cold, and Ruku immediately knelt down: "Master, forgive me! Yan Cijing is just a lackey under that man's hands, so there is really no need to spend too much time investigating. Now that Wu Tianchou's identity has been exposed in front of everyone, the most urgent thing is to It is waiting for the government to find out that year..."

"I know."

Ruku stopped, and knelt on the ground stiffly, sweating profusely.

Yu Fangzhi raised his hand to let him stand up, stared at the face distorted by hatred for a long time, and said indifferently: "This time I entered Beijing, I never thought of getting out alive." Purpose.

Ruku was startled, and with a "plop", knelt down again.

At this time, the situation outside the window has changed, and after a few rumbling thunders, black clouds cover the city, and the afternoon is like the night, and you can't see your fingers clearly.

Thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, and Yu Fangzhi's face was as pale as paper, like a ghost: "My hatred is only more than yours."

Ruku gritted his teeth and kowtowed three times: "Ruku knows his mistake!"

"Let's go! Don't be impatient anymore."

Ruku stood up, put a veil on his face, Yu Fangzhi explained: "Wipe off the blood before leaving."

Ruku nodded and was about to retreat, when he opened the door, he ran into the young man who knew the language well, covered his face with a veil, and stepped out.

Xiao Qing looked at Xiao Er curiously, but found nothing unusual, and jumped in again: "Master! It's raining heavily! We have to wait for the rain to stop before we can leave." A gust of wind and rain caught Xiao Qing's face. With a frown, he exclaimed, "It's raining so hard, why don't you close the window?"

After closing the window, I realized that the room was dark again. I lit a few candles, protected one of them and walked towards Yu Fangzhi. I reached out and touched the back of Yu Fangzhi. The candle dropped: "Master! It's all wet!"

Yu Fangzhi replied: "I just slept on the collapse bed, it was hot."
