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

43 Forbearance

The position of Bai Yutang has been determined by the Ministry of Officials, and he will start from Si Zhi of Dali Temple.The good news is that he can continue to work with Jiang Lin, whom he is already familiar with, without worrying about adapting. The bad news is that he also has to get familiar with the laws and regulations as soon as possible and take the exam.

Xie Ling, who was also promoted, also had to take the exam, so she naturally pulled him to hug "Scholar" Jiang Lin's thigh.

But as soon as they came to Dali Temple, they saw the unopened "Song Xingtong" in front of Jiang Lin, turning a closed fan in his hand, slightly lost in thought.

The speed at which he turned the fan was so agile and elegant that Bai Yutang and Xie Ling were stunned.

Bai Yutang was surprised and said, "Jiang Lin, have you learned how to tap acupuncture points? Your hands are so fast?"

"Ah?" Jiang Lin came back to his senses from the air, thinking that I was still "pointing like a gust of wind, and moving like lightning".This is just a derivative version of the "magic skill of turning the brush" that I practiced when I was in a daze when I was a student.

"Where is this?" Jiang Lin threw the fan aside, and said to Bai Yutang, "What about you? The mud on the sole of your shoe? Did you go to the room again?"

Being surrounded by Jiang Lin, Bai Yutang, who didn't want to memorize any laws, immediately put the review aside.He cut it and said: "If you are curious about the case of the Pei family, just tell me, what are you doing so obliquely?"

Jiang Lin waved his fan and said, "I don't like to talk about it."

Bai Yutang patted the table: "Didn't you teach me to squat on the roof of the court?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Jiang can't participate in Pei Shilang's follow-up case. I feel regretful. I just complained to my friends, but I didn't instigate you to do such disciplinary things."

"You bastard, Mrs. Pei doesn't have anything to do with you..." Bai Yutang poked Jiang Lin's weakness, and the latter ducked and hid behind Xie Ling, who couldn't get in his mouth.

That's right, after hearing what Wen Qing said, although Jiang Lin was about to withdraw from the Pei Shilang case, and the higher-ups also arranged for his resignation, but as a qualified justice envoy, he will naturally not let it go easily the truth of the matter.

But for the sake of his own life, Jiang Lin naturally couldn't have any conflicts with Pei's house on the surface, and it was better to avoid it if he could.

Jiang Lin asked Wu Shu, knowing that the yamen servant who was stopped by them last time didn't have time to know what was behind them, so Jiang Lin told them not to get involved in Pei's affairs.After Bai Yutang repeatedly assured that he would not be discovered, he decided to persuade the other party to climb up the eaves.

After making a fuss for a while, Bai Yutang, who felt that he had gained the upper hand, finally began to talk about what he had seen and heard in court.

"It's not much different from what you think. The matter related to Pei Shilang's death and Hua Ninghuan's death has been hammered to death by the bloody clothes you found, but that maid took all the responsibility on herself , saying that she came up with the trick of repeating testimony to prove Pei Shilang's innocence."

"And Mrs. Pei was also deceived by her like she deceived all the judges."

Jiang Lin arched Xie Ling with his arm, and said, "Judge Xie, who hasn't formally attended the trial hall, hasn't come to practice judging cases? What do you think the judges in the hall will ask?"

Xie Ling touched the center of her brows and said, "I should be asking about the injuries on her body, how would she have survived without Mrs. Pei's cooperation?"

As soon as Bai Yutang snapped his fingers, Jiang Lin even thought of what Pei Beiqing said: "Unfortunately, Mrs. Pei has already blocked this question to death."

"She specially arranged for this servant girl to go outside the mansion to spread rumors. One is to find a clumsy excuse for the maid's injury during our first investigation, and the other is to make it easier for the servant girl to say that she escaped from the mansion on purpose to beg for a beating. , to make this play."

The rumor started because of Bailu's house crying, and she was the only one who changed the testimonies and forged the bloody clothes.

Although almost no one believed that a maid like her could come up with such a set of methods, but with a series of causes and consequences, it is possible that Bai Lu planned the whole thing alone.

In the absence of any other evidence to prove that someone else helped Bai Lu, as long as she pleaded guilty, she could get Pei Beiqing clean.

After all, Pei Beiqing even said in court that Pei Haozhu's body smelled of blood, and now it seems that it is tight.

"The rest of the time is spent talking about old things about the Pei family's old sesame seeds and rotten millet." Bai Yutang propped his chin and said, "If we can find proof, for example, Mrs. Pei was married to the prefect of Chen. Son, it's all proven to be true. But what Pei Shilang said about the stillborn baby changing, and Mrs. Pei killing his father and aunt, there are no witnesses to support them."

"I had fun listening on the eaves, but the judges in the court all looked like they wanted to listen but didn't dare to listen, wanted to interrupt but were reluctant to let Shi Lang shut up, it really made me laugh." Bai Yutang He flicked his sleeves and said, "I regret what kind of official I came to be. They are all so rigid that I can't let go of them. It's really boring."

Xie Ling pursed her lips slightly, and said, "Then did you find out about the Treading Snow Hall? Pei Shilang insisted that it was Pei Beiqing who harmed him. If Mrs. Pei really planned all this, shouldn't it be from the Treading Snow Hall?" breakthrough?"

"You..." Bai Yutang changed his words, "Our Fu Siqing said that the search warrant was issued, and we will go to Pei's mansion to clean up immediately, and see who can find evidence of contact with Taxuetang. It should be the only chance to bring Mrs. Pei into the case."

Jiang Lindao: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. If I were Mrs. Pei, I would have cleaned up my hands a long time ago and arranged the means of framing."

"As long as she casually sprinkles two pieces of pigeon feathers in the courtyard where Pei Shilang lives, won't she be able to prove that the carrier pigeon that sent the letter to Tuxuetang that night probably came from somewhere else?"

"Then what should we do?" Bai Yutang was a little annoyed, "Could it be that she can really get out of this case?"

Jiang Lin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the people in Dali Temple must be extremely careful in their search, not to mention, there are our old friends in the arresting team."

Before Bai Yutang answered, Zhan Zhao suddenly pushed the door open and interrupted the conversation of the three of them.

Bai Yutang frowned, and said with a smile, "Guard Zhan, where are my clothes?"

Zhan Zhao's eyes fell on him paused for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry. I'm coming down to discuss things with Jiang Shaocheng. I didn't know you would be here too. You never came here with your clothes."

Bai Yutang snorted dissatisfiedly, and said, "Fifth Lord, I will be the director of Dali Temple in the future. Remember, when you come here in the future, you can't come to see Jiang Lin, you must come to see me."

He looks so much like a domineering kid who just got a baby but doesn't know how to share it with his friends.

Jiang Lin was speechless for a while, and said to Bai Yutang, "I have something serious to talk about, so don't show off in front of several old people who are older than you in official positions. Go over there and sit down."

Bai Yutang kicked Jiang Lin's chair, and sat down at the end of the table sullenly.

"...I'd like to see what flowers you can come up with."

Jiang Lin ignored him, and asked Zhan Zhao to sit down and said, "Brother Zhan, actually I came to you this time to ask you..."

Jiang Lin wasn't too sure whether Zhan Zhao and the others knew the setting of the Sifang Secret Treasure, but the people present were all his own, so he tentatively asked, "Do you know the Xuanwu chariot?"

Immediately, the expressions of the other three people changed.

Jiang Lin said in his heart, everyone knows, but he, who has lost his memory, doesn't know.

"The Xuanwu chariot is extremely powerful. It is a rare soldier on the battlefield. Why did Jiang Shaocheng suddenly mention it? Could it be that the chariot has reappeared in the world?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "

This is not a joke, if the rebels in the north or the Liao Kingdom get this treasure, the battle we have just stabilized will definitely cause another disturbance. "

Zhan Zhao's worry was beyond Jiang Jianglin's expectation for a moment, he didn't think too much, and quickly explained: "No, no, I just heard that the Dragon's Shell is related to the Xuanwu Chariot, and got clues related to the former. I want to find it and hand it over to the imperial court..."

These words made several people relax, and a little bit tempted, but Zhan Zhao said: "I heard that the secret treasures are guarded by the aristocratic family from the previous dynasty, if we embezzle them privately..."

"Don't worry. I can assure you that they agree to use the chariot for the imperial court." Jiang Lindao, "Speaking of this chariot, its location is related to the Dragon's Shell where the Moonlight Pearl is located. Then we only need to figure out the way Where did Ping find the Moonlight Pearl, and then he would be able to lock the location of the Dragon's Shell."

Xie Ling was puzzled and said, "Could it be that you want to find the route that Lu Ping took when he escaped halfway? This range is too wide."

"Yes and no." Jiang Lin smiled, spread out a map of the territory of the Song Dynasty on the table, and took out a piece of white rice paper to spread on it, "Judge Xie still remembers that Lu Ping's autopsy records On, was there a very special place?"

"This……"

"The red plum tattoo on his back?" Zhan Zhao asked.

At the beginning, he only glanced at it briefly, but the clusters of blooming red plum tattoos on the autopsy map really didn't fit the temperament of the screen recorder himself, and Zhan Zhao was really impressed.

Jiang Lin smiled and said: "Yes, if you combine it with this map of the territory of the Song Dynasty, what can you think of?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a moment and then came to a conclusion: "Water pulse."

"That's right." Jiang Lin quickly drew the general outline of the red plum tree on the rice paper, and marked the blossoming red plums on it.

Xie Ling asked: "But there are so many red plums on it, which one is the location of the dragon's shell?"

"How many red plum blossoms do you see within the range from Kaifeng Mansion to Yongzhou halfway?"

Bai Yutang suddenly realized: "There is only one place! That is here."

Zhan Zhao said: "It is a great achievement to be able to find the shell of the dragon, I will go and tell Bao Zhongcheng about this, and ask him to write a letter to the officials..."

Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate to report this matter to the officials for the time being."

"One is because there are many variables in this matter, and I don't want to disturb the officials in advance and make things more troublesome. The second is because there are many people who covet the Xuanwu chariot, and I think this matter should not be done with great fanfare, but it should be done quietly."

Jiang Lin looked at Zhan Zhao, and said, "So, Jiang wants to entrust this matter to Brother Zhan, whom I can trust completely and who is often on business trips."

Zhan Zhao's eyes moved.

He had known Jiang Lin for some time, but it was the first time that the other party had given him such trust.Zhan Zhao suddenly felt a heavy responsibility.

He solemnly said: "This matter is for the family and the country, and Zhan Zhao is obliged to do so."

Everyone knew how significant it was to Da Song to be able to retrieve the Xuanwu chariot, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became a little more serious.

Even Bai Yutang became loyal and clamored to go treasure hunting with Zhan Zhao, but was stopped by Jiang Lin with an exam.

Xie Ling, who was silent for a long time, suddenly raised his hand, and said weakly: "Well, if this secret treasure can really be used by the country..."

He turned to Jiang Lin, looked earnestly and said: "Shaocheng, can you help me find the secret treasure of the Suzaku lost by our family?"
