I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

28 before the birthday cup

"...Who are you?"

The charcoal basin in the bamboo house gave off heat, but Wen Qing's eyes on Jiang Lin made the atmosphere slightly stiff.

Jiang Lin's fingertips went numb for a moment, but he put on a relaxed look and said, "Oh, you said it's impossible for me not to know, but I just don't remember."

"I forgot a lot of things after my head was smashed..." A few fragments flashed in Jiang Lin's mind. He squatted down and looked up at Wen Qing who was sitting in a wheelchair. Come to see you, are you angry?"

Jiang Lin felt that his body was very familiar with this posture, so he said frankly and honestly: "I seem to have a vague impression of this movement."

"But when I just woke up, my mind was blank. I didn't know who I was close to, so I had to figure it out slowly. Brother, you asked me who I was just now. I thought you had opened your eyes and saw me lying on my back. What a ghost."

Jiang Lin's reaction was too natural, and a moment of hesitation flashed in Wen Qing's eyes.He thought for a moment, and said: "Then your instinct should still be there, stand up and let me try."

"How do you try?" Jiang Lingang stood up, and before he could finish speaking, something was thrown straight in front of his eyes.He subconsciously looked at them one after another, and immediately threw the fluffy little thing in his hand out.

Half of Jiang Lin's body was numb, and his head hurt badly.But when he took a closer look, he realized that the little thing jumped back into Wen Qing's arms again, it was just a small animal with the shape of a squirrel.

Jiang Lin's mentality collapsed.In this set of reactions just now, my skills are fairly agile, but I don't know if my emotions meet Wen Qing's expectations.

He made up with a dry smile, "It's very, very cute, and I'm not afraid of it, it's just that it was so sudden that I was taken aback."

The expression on Wen Qing's face softened a little.He stroked the little squirrel with his hands down, and said, "This is a spirit mouse I picked up when I was practicing on Zhongnan Mountain. It's called Xiaowen. You have always been afraid of it."

"...Ah, what a simple and easy-to-remember name."

Wen Qing's statement made Jiang Lin feel a little relieved, sighed secretly that he was lucky, and thanked and laughed at the original owner's timidity.

Jiang Lin knew that his master and senior brothers were all serious Taoist priests who practiced immortality. If they could really see that the original owner had changed his mind, they would probably regard him who "took the house" as an evil ghost with malicious intentions.

Then he has to act like a dead skin.Play until the senior brother feels that an excellent evil spirit capable of seizing houses cannot be as unreasonable as him.

"Now you always believe that I really don't remember." Mingming Wenqing didn't say anything, but Jiang Lin was shameless. If you can't get it back in time, I'm afraid you will be demoted to another place, and you will never see me again, brother..."

"I can help you."

After listening to his nonsense for a long while, Wen Qing finally raised her eyes.

"Really? That's great! Brother, you are really..." Before Jiang Lin could say a few empty words of thanks, Wen Qing took out a piece of paper, wrote a few strokes on it, and said to him: " Sign this paper to borrow 'Moonlight Pearl', and I will lend it to you."

"Brother and I are really polite." Jiang Lin instantly realized the trap. Wen Qing wanted to try his handwriting, but he couldn't write calligraphy yet.

But Jiang Lin didn't panic at all.

He took the note, took out the private seal from his pocket, stamped it where it was signed, and said, "Then thank you, brother."

In the palace, the Imperial Study Room.

The trial results of important cases need to be reviewed by the officials in person, so Bao Zheng, who is the censor Zhongcheng, came to ask the officials for review and decision with the judgment suggestions from the three divisions.

Bao Zheng recounted the whole process of the court trial for the officials, and Zhao Zhen said with some emotion: "It was very exciting after listening to it, but it is a pity that I couldn't watch it in person. When Bai Yutang wrote a poem in the Martyr's Temple, I thought he was A chivalrous man, he never thought that he would be framed here by the killer of the Treading Snow Hall."

Bao Zheng echoed, "The assassins in the Treading Hall have committed a heinous crime. Your Majesty may ask the people of Dali Temple to investigate this organization carefully. The people behind it are also worthy of investigation."

"Treading Xuetang endangered the country and was punished for treason. The investigation of the Dali Temple case must be completed as soon as possible. As for the officials in charge of this..." Zhao Zhen stroked his beard lightly, "The officials in charge of the case of the prefect Chen Who is it? Might as well use it."

"Your Majesty, Shaoqing Xue Qing, who was in charge of this case, has been suspended for investigation due to charges of accepting bribes and using the public to seek personal gain. It was Jiang Lin, the Shaocheng of Dali Temple, who took the responsibility and found out the case. But..." Bao Zheng paused for a moment, and said, "For such an important case, Shao Cheng is no more than a sixth-rank official, it seems that he is not worthy of it."

He praised Jiang Lin first, and then said that Jiang Lin's position was low, how could Zhao Zhen not know what Bao Zheng meant.

It is not difficult to seal Jianglin as a young minister, but for Zhao Zhen, since Jiang Lin did not recover the Moonlight Pearl used in the sacrifice, the result of the case is still flawed.

Zhao Zhen had a vague impression of Jiang Lin who participated in the palace examination back then.

Although he was willing to admit the other party's ability in the case of the magistrate's murder, he felt that the other party had not reached the level where he could personally promote the award.

Zhao Zhen reserved his attitude and said: "I remember that Jiang Shaocheng is only in his early twenties, and there are many opportunities for promotion in the future. Why don't you put this matter under Fu Qing's name, let Jiang Lin do it, and let him experience it again."

"Being able to solve the strange case and find the pearl, I feel that Jiang Lin is worthy of being an official." Bao Zheng's tone was still very firm. After he finished speaking, the people who had been waiting at the door for a long time entered the hall with a box in their hands.

"Could it be that..." Seeing the box the other party put on his desk, Zhao Zhen couldn't hide his surprise on his face, and opened it with his own hands.

I saw a bright pearl placed on a silk embroidered brocade mat, showing the same cloudy and sunny moon as tonight.

That pearl is so bright and clean that it doesn't look like anything in the world, so people dare not touch it.

Everyone in the room was shocked by the true appearance of the Yuehua Pearl, and even Jiang Lin, who presented the pearl, felt that the origin of the Pearl that his brother introduced to him was indeed not a false story.

——Moon Pearl, from the shell of the dragon.The dragon gave birth to nine sons, one of which was a 鼍, whose leather mantle was drummed and heard hundreds of miles away; Long live the 鼍龙, shed its shell and became a dragon. There are 24 ribs in the shell, each rib contains a pearl.The pearl is like holding in hand, it can have luminous light, showing the appearance of the full moon, it is rare in the world, and it is worth ten thousand gold. *

After Zhao Zhen finally appreciated the things in front of him and realized his own existence, Jiang Lin saluted him in a timely manner and said, "My minister, Jiang Lin, brings the moonlight pearl to kowtow to the real dragon emperor."

Zhao Zhen's chest was overflowing with joy.

Seeing that Jiang Lin's appearance seemed to be more eye-catching than in the previous palace examination, he was a talent with outstanding ability, so he waved his hand and said, "Reward."

·

Compared with the little money I earned from my sideline business before, the gifts from the officials are not insignificant.Not only promised Jiang Lin the promotion position, but also rewarded various bonuses and treasures.

Even under Jiang Lin's suggestion, Bai Yutang who assisted Jiang Lin in handling the case was appointed as an official, and Xie Ling who was beside him was promoted. Even Zhan Zhao received a lot of rewards.

Jiang Lin, who received the reward, had already planned all the steps to renovate the house in his mind before he received the money from the household department.He also booked a table of food and wine, and planned to invite everyone to celebrate together in the evening.

After the seven-day calamity passed perfectly, Jiang Lin ushered in the rare Xiu Mu, turned around and ran to his master to show off, and went to get the selected notes by the way.Shao Yong was very contemptuous of his appearance of being a villain, pinching his fingers and saying that his next catastrophe was not far away.

While poohing his bad luck, Jiang Lin urged the little stone to help him carry the book.

"Look at your slender arms and legs, you have to exercise well. Otherwise, you won't be healthy in the future, and you won't even be able to marry a wife. Do you understand?"

Fortunately, Jiang Lin didn't know Xiao Shitou's identity, otherwise, what he said would be really treasonous.

But at this time, Xiao Shitou didn't know that he would be the emperor in the future, so he didn't think Jiang Lin's words were offensive, but nodded in a very good temper.

He memorized a few scrolls, weighed a stack of books with Jiang Lin, and went to Jiang Lin's house.

Along the way, Xiao Shitou was figuring out his own plan for lodging.

For him, although there are far fewer people staring at the palace now than in previous years, instead of taking risks to go in and out of the palace every day, it is better to live outside with a false identity, with Amin and his mother covering him up in the palace.

He had discussed it carefully with his mother before, and her mother agreed that he should live in Jiang Lin's house.But he had already assumed the identity of a poor child in front of Jiang Lin, and it was inconvenient to find someone to come forward, pretending to be a child of a distant relative, and entrusting him to Jiang Lin.

After thinking about it, Xiao Shitou still felt that he would take the initiative to hold back and wait to see Jiang Lin's reaction.

Jiang Lin's small yard hasn't entertained any guests yet, so he arranged small stones on the stone benches in the yard, and said, "The house is a little rough, you can eat two dates if you sit."

"I think it's fine." Little Shitou squeezed two dates nervously, held back for a long time, and said "I want to live with you".

These words were crisp and straightforward, Jiang Lin subconsciously looked back at his small tile-roofed house that was still a bit leaky, almost thinking that he had renovated the house in a dream.

He said in a daze, "I don't have anything here..."

"But I like it." Xiao Shitou has no experience in lying, and said directly, "Better than where I live."

Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat.

He almost forgot that Xiao Shitou was a poor kid who was setting up a stall and studying at the same time. He seemed to be neglected all the time, and he didn't know if he had parents.

In such a place where every inch of land is expensive in Tokyo, I have a house anyway, so I don't know which corner Xiaoshitou lives in.

Jiang Lin scolded himself in his heart.Fortunately, he thought that he had met a good seedling who was smart and wanted to cultivate it well, but he was so careless about other people's life.

He didn't dare to ask about Xiao Shitou's living conditions, and taught himself not to show sympathy or guilt, and smiled at Xiao Shitou: "Hey, I heard that your elder brother is going to renovate this place into a new house, so you want to come here to live? Okay, when the time comes, I will go to work and you will stay at my house and help me as a supervisor to see if the workers who build the house are not slacking off, okay?"

Xiao Shitou didn't know that Jiang Lin had made up a lot of his own miserable experiences, but felt that his elder brother Lin was really kind to him by agreeing so quickly.

He took out a few scrolls that he was carrying, trying to portray himself as a wanderer whose mother returned to his hometown and he was alone in Beijing, but when he opened his mouth, it became: "This is some very valuable things that my mother left me before she left." The scroll, let me hand it over to someone who is willing to take me in."

Little Shitou didn't realize how much ambiguity these words could cause without the context.

All he thought about was that these were pictures of famous artists, and they were worth several houses, so he would definitely not treat his elder brother Lin badly.

Jiang Lin didn't even look at the scrolls, and directly inserted them into the vase under the eaves.

He picked up the little stone and said: "Don't talk about the child, my brother will treat you well in the future. Let's go to the East City this afternoon and take a good look around. My brother's bonus will be spent on you."

"Those paintings..." When the little stone was carried on Jiang Lin's back, he realized that there was something wrong with his words.

But before he could figure out how to explain it, Jiang Lin who had just left was stopped by someone.

Xie Ling, who came in a hurry, got off her horse and said to Jiang Lin: "Jiang Shaocheng, fishermen outside the city fished out a headless female body from the river. It is suspected to be Hua Ninghuan, who was missing in Changchun Tower before."
