11 Hate No Thousand Days of Wine

When Jiang Lin came to Pei Mansion, the body of Chen Zhifu had been sent to the mourning hall for a long time.

Many people believe that buying the things needed for funeral affairs during their lifetime can prolong their lives, so Chen Zhifu's funeral supplies are all very delicate, and there is no sense of haste.

Many officials came to mourn the prefect of Chen, and the censer was filled with incense sticks.In the coffin, Chen Zhifu's remains were no longer as ferocious as before, and a shroud decently covered up his broken body.The black lacquered jar by his hand was full of apricot blossom wine, which should be his favorite wine during his lifetime.

Jiang Lin sighed softly in his heart, and respectfully lit a stick of incense for the prefect Chen.

People in the Pei family thought Yu Liang was the murderer, and they were very polite to Jiang Lin who caught the real murderer.

Pei Guang, who had always been perverse, also restrained his temper, and personally took Jiang Lin to the main hall to meet Mrs. Pei.

Mrs. Pei's name is Pei Beiqing.

As far as Jiang Lin knew, the Pei family had produced many high-ranking officials and famous ministers, and they had a deep foundation in the capital, and Mrs. Pei's father had even done the same things before his death.But he chose Chen Zhifu, a civilian son-in-law from other places, for his only daughter-in-law.

Many people think that Prime Minister Pei has lost his eyes and lost his mind. There is also a rumor that Mrs. Pei fell in love with Chen Zhifu at first sight and asked her father for the marriage.

But Jiang Lin didn't quite believe that Pei Beiqing, who was able to sit on the head of Pei family's mistress and was proclaimed his wife, could do such a romantic thing.

In addition to Mrs. Pei, the people sitting in the hall were also her younger brother Pei Haozhu who had just been transferred back to Beijing as a servant.

Jiang Lin saluted the two of them and exchanged some pleasantries. The atmosphere of the conversation was very relaxed and harmonious.During the period, Mrs. Pei asked Jiang Lin about the whereabouts of the Yuehua Pearl, but Jiang Lin only said that it was still under investigation, and Mrs. Pei patiently accepted it.

Seeing that Jiang Lin seemed to have something else to say, Pei Haozhu left after sitting for a while.After he left, Jiang Lin explained his true purpose of coming without disclosing the facts of the case.

But to Jiang Lin's surprise, seeing him ask about Chen Zhifu's experience in his hometown, Pei Guang, the filial son who made a big fuss in the Kaifeng government office before, seemed to know little about his father's past.

Pei Guang curled his lips and said, "Look what I'm doing? My father said that his hometown is small, so he never told me about it."

Jiang Lin could only focus on Pei Beiqing, and saw her saying: "Jingyue's parents died since childhood, and he came to Kaifeng to take the imperial examination more than 20 years ago. When I married him, he had already passed the Jinshi exam. Three years later With Guang'er... knowing that he had a hard life in the past, I didn't want to touch his sad things, so I never asked about it."

As she spoke, she pressed the corners of her eyes again with a veil.

"Hasn't Prefect Chen himself mentioned anything about his hometown to you?"

Pei Beiqing said: "Very few, most of them are trivial matters or customs. If Jiang Shaocheng wants to know anything, you might as well ask directly."

Jiang Lin stopped playing around, and took out the paperwork that Xie Ling had sorted out before, and clicked twice on the questionable grade certificates and recommendation letters.

He didn't clearly express his doubts, but Pei Beiqing clearly knew what Jiang Lin meant.

Anyone who is a little more careful can see the difference in rice paper.It's just that this is the rotten grain of Chen Zhima 20 years ago, and most people would not dig it out like Jiang Lin and inquire about it in detail.

Pei Beiqing asked her maid, Aunt Yingqi, to take Pei Guang out first.

She put the few pieces of paper aside as if she didn't care, and said: "Shaocheng should know that if my husband fails to pass the provincial examination and general examination, it is impossible for him to enter the palace examination. It's just that he met a bad person on the way, and the proof is not good enough." I lost it, and I just reissued the paperwork in Beijing."

"Naturally, the lower officials will not doubt Chen Zhifu's fame, but they are more concerned about certain details... For example, normally reissued documents will have a special mark, which means that the original document has been accidentally lost, but Chen Zhifu's this..."

"Yes, it was the certificate that my father bought for him back then." Pei Beiqing looked straight at Jiang Lin calmly, her lips closed naturally, as if she didn't want to say more.

There is a lot of information in these words, which means that Pei Xiang really took a fancy to Chen Zhifu as his son-in-law when he was still nothing.

This incident, however, is not necessarily relevant to the merits of the case.Pei Beiqing didn't want to talk about it, and Jiang Lin wasn't interested in prying into each other's privacy.

He changed the subject and asked about the business: "Do you still remember that about three years ago, your husband had a big fight with a man named Lu Ping in the Ping'an Tavern?"

Pei Beiqing closed her eyes, rubbed her temples and said, "Why did Jiang Shaocheng mention this?"

"The official records are not complete, so I want to ask you about your situation at that time and your impression of Lu Ping."

The lines of resentment on Pei Beiqing's face deepened a bit.

She said helplessly: "It seems that my husband got into a fight with someone after he was drunk, and got into a fight in the tavern. The person who fought with him was sent to the government, and was later fished out by his brother or a fellow villager."

Jiang Lin frowned and said, "Can you recall, are you a brother or a fellow countryman?"

But Pei Beiqing closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Aunt Yingqi saw what the master meant, saluted him, and said, "Jiang Shaocheng, my young master has invited many doctors for my wife, and they are already waiting outside. Please go back first. Come visit the mansion again when you have time in the future.”

Jiang Lin knew that he might not be able to ask more things from Pei Beiqing.

He nodded, and when he was about to retreat politely, he was stopped by several doctors who Pei Guang invited in.

There were men and women, old and young doctors following Pei Guang, but the face at the front of the line was familiar no matter what.

Although a fake beard was deliberately attached to his face, Jiang Lin recognized who the other party was at a glance.

The man also bowed his body to bow to Jiang Lin, and said to Mrs. Pei: "Uncle Jin Mao, Xiaosheng, is a quack doctor. It is really a great fortune to come to see Mrs. Pei's doctor today!"

Jiang Lin looked at the Chin Maoshu who called himself "Uncle Jin Mao" with question marks all over his face.

... Bai Yutang, what are you doing here? !

Facing the questioning in Jiang Lin's eyes, Bai Yutang just blew the fake beard around his mouth mischievously, with no comment on his face.

Bai Yutang said before that he already knew who the murderer was, but at this moment, he disguised himself and ran to the victim's house, waiting in line for someone to choose him to see a doctor.

Jiang Lin knew that Bai Yutang had the ability to sneak into Pei's house directly, so he probably did so to have a suitable reason to get close to Mrs. Pei.

Pei Guang noticed Jiang Lin's gaze, and asked suspiciously, "Jiang Shaocheng, why are you looking at this doctor like this? Do you know each other?"

Jiang Lin did not forget to recommend Bai Yutang when he tried to save him: "Ah, I have always heard the name of Jin Langzhong mentioned by the sisters-in-law in the clan, saying that he is Hua Tuo alive. I really didn't expect Mr. Pei to invite him and let him Let's see, Mrs. Pei's health will definitely recover."

The servants around Pei Guang were stunned.

Their young master insisted that he find ten powerful doctors, even one less.The servant managed to find all the people, but a doctor sprained his ankle halfway. He had no choice but to bring this quack doctor who had been pestering him all the way to make up the number.

Unexpectedly, the other party would be so powerful, the servant thought silently, it seems like the genius doctor Qi You whom he has never met, the more low-key the doctor is, the more powerful he is.

And because Pei Guang had seen Jiang Lin's ability before, he was very convinced by Jiang Lin's words.Hearing what the other party said, he suddenly had the intention of treating Bai Yutang as a guest of honour, and ramblingly listed his mother's physical illnesses one by one.He spoke very thoughtfully and meticulously, but it made people dizzy.

"Don't worry, Mr. Pei." Jiang Lin interrupted him, patted Bai Yutang's shoulder and said, "Jin Langzhong is very good at treating women's physical illnesses, so you can leave it to him."

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, and said to Jiang Lin, "I can see men too. Just like grassroots people, you can tell at a glance that your vitality and blood are severely depleted, sir."

Jiang Lin: "..."

Didn't I just praise Bai Yutang?How could he be more serious than himself?

Pei Guang didn't see the secret rivalry between the two of them, but he seemed to know some serious secret.

He hastily asked someone to bring Bai Yutang to Mrs. Pei, and then whispered to Jiang Lin: "Unexpectedly, Jiang Shaocheng is also a flirtatious person. I have a big potion made by a warlock, and everyone around me agrees to use it. If you if you need……"

"No need." Jiang Lin felt that Pei Guang's body was full of makeup smell, so he quickly blocked the opponent's claws with a fan, and declined with a smile.
