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

66 full diameter chaotic incense float

The prince's first birthday banquet was lively and lively, but such an ominous thing happened. The people who returned to the banquet looked at the gloomy faces of the officials. The news brought back by Bao Zheng and Jiang Lin.

Everyone seemed to be meditating, staring at the moon shadow to waste time. Wen Yuan didn't like these banquets with many rules. the sound of.

The position of the Xijue and the clan's children were close, but Zhao Zongshi only stared in the direction of the small courtyard and didn't notice him at all.

Wen Yuan leaned back on the chair helplessly, thinking that Jiang Lin would come back sooner, if he couldn't come back sooner, he would definitely call Yinger to withdraw from his "Xueba Notebook" business, although Jiang Lin There is no shortage of money now.

But just as he thought about it halfway, he saw Bao Zheng, Jiang Lin and Bai Yutang leading a few people into the banquet hall.Zhao Zongshi's eyes lit up. Seeing their relaxed faces, everyone else present also heaved a sigh of relief—just solve it, let's solve the case quickly.

Only Zhang Yaozuo pretended to be happy: "Bao Zhongcheng came back so soon? Has the murderer who murdered Qilin been caught?"

But Bao Zheng's next sentence made even his pretended smile disappear: "His Majesty, I found a very interesting clue, and I am about to ask Zhang Shangshu."

Zhao Zhen's eyes dimmed, and he said, "Let's start from the beginning."

"This case has to start with Jiang Shaoqing's testimony." Bao Zheng made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Lin.

"Your Majesty, first of all, I would like to introduce you to the three witnesses related to this case." Jiang Lin brought Xu Wei and the young eunuch up, and repeated the process of questioning with everyone present.

When it came to the issue of time difference, most people's first reaction was similar to Bai Yutang's. They either thought that there were two people working together to commit the crime, or that one of the two witnesses had lied.

But Jiang Lin changed the subject and denied their unspoken conjectures.

Zhang Yaozuo narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then, how did the person pretending to be a eunuch Jiang Shaoqing said sent you to the small courtyard at almost the same time, and then sent the little eunuch's clothes back to the east end of the palace?"

"Rong Chen reminds everyone." Jiang Lin only gave him a casual look, and then turned to the crowd, "The basis for the little eunuch to confirm the time is that he was in the room and heard the sound of the fireworks show ending, not seeing it with his own eyes. .”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present understood.Bai Yutang, who had never been fully understood, said in surprise: "You mean, that person faked the sound of fireworks at that time, so that the little eunuch misreported the time?"

Jiang Lin nodded: "That's right. If you think about it carefully, you will find that the timing of the little eunuch's waking up is very ingenious, but I never believe that there is any so-called coincidence in this world. Everything happens for its own sake. It makes sense. The little eunuch will be woken up by the fireworks, which is also the result of the deliberate design of the perpetrator."

"As for the method of faking the sound of fireworks, everyone knows that there are a lot of talented people in Song Dynasty, so it's not unusual to meet someone who is good at ventriloquism, right?"

Everyone agreed with Jiang Lin's statement, but Zhang Yaozuo was still unwilling to let him go: "Then since the time point on the little eunuch's side was falsified, wouldn't Jiang Shaoqing himself be able to get rid of the suspicion?"

This made Qilin couldn't help laughing out loud, and before Jiang Lin could speak, Bai Yutang helped him back: "What Zhang Shangshu said is absurd. The little eunuch's time can only be spent on fireworks." After the performance, it was too late. But Xu Wei, the guard, returned to his post just after watching the fireworks. Even if he found Jiang Shaoqing lying on the ground, his classmate who went to the toilet temporarily could testify. Do you think Jiang Shaoqing would Separation body technique, or can you instantly move to the east of the palace?"

Jiang Lin also said: "So according to the correct timeline, it should be that Jiang was attacked by the sneaky eunuch after he left the banquet. The man took advantage of the lax guard of the guards and brought the minister into the room. In the small courtyard, and then rushed to the East Palace, disguised the voice to create a time difference, the purpose is to make the testimony of the little eunuch and the guard contradict each other, so as to invalidate the testimony of the two of them."

"By the way, if the guard hadn't sneaked away to watch the fireworks, he would have knocked him unconscious. Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, I know martial arts and can do this."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and said, "It's a pity that the villain's treacherous plan did not succeed, and because the little eunuch's testimony was not falsified, and the time when he was stunned and stripped of his clothes was before Jiang Shaoqing entered the palace, it proved that Jiang Shaoqing There is no possibility of committing a crime.”

Seeing how logically they sang and sang, Zhang Yaozuo was speechless for a moment.

Feeling worried, Concubine Zhang Guifei answered, "...Then, did you catch the fake eunuch you were talking about?"

She glanced at the three people who were brought up, frowned and said: "Jiang Shaoqing said that the testimony of these two witnesses is true, does it mean that there is something wrong with the maid brought by our Zhang family?"

Jiang Lindao: "About the fake eunuch who attacked me, I have already guessed his true identity, but unfortunately, he should not be in the palace anymore."

Hearing these words, Zhang Yaozuo suddenly became energetic again, he frowned and looked at the official and said, "Then is this case settled or not?"

Before Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, Jiang Lin said: "If you want to solve the case, you must first have a case. If you want to say, this case never happened at all?"

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, what I mean is that the unicorn was not killed at all." After Jiang Lin finished speaking, he turned around and pointed, and everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Zhan Zhao leading a living unicorn. "Kirin" walked to the center of the banquet together with the maid Xiao Le.

Everyone present was shocked when they saw Qilin come back to life, even Zhao Zhen couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"

But Concubine Zhang Gui and Zhang Yaozuo had suddenly understood, and looked at Xiao Le with disbelieving eyes, but they couldn't say a word.

They all knew in their hearts that it was over, it was over.

The winning ticket is already in hand, Jiang Lin explained in a loud voice: "Because this girl Xiaole from the Zhang Mansion knew in advance that someone would assassinate the 'Kirin', so she fed it special grass leaves in advance to make it look like a dead As for why she knew about this matter, I think it’s better for the girl to explain herself—please be sure to explain the origin of Qilin clearly.”

Xiao Le bowed to all the officials present, and then said: "The girl is actually not the accompanying maid of the Zhang family, but a beast taming girl from Bipaluo country. Zhang Shangshu has been sending people overseas all these years Collecting all kinds of rare treasures, his people saw that the daughter of the people had a close relationship with this so-called divine beast, so they brought me back to the Song Kingdom with them."

Concubine Miao turned her eyes, and took the opportunity to say: "In this way, then Zhang Shangshu didn't find this thing from the mountain by chance, nor is it some kind of divine beast Qilin?"

Before Zhang Yaozuo had a chance to explain, Xiao Le said: "That's right. This kind of animal is called "Cu wax" or "Auspicious" in our country. It is similar to the name of Qilin in Song Dynasty, but it has nothing to do with it. It is just an ordinary animal. Although it is relatively docile and humane, it also eats, drinks, and gets sick.”

"Auspicious people were sent all the way from the sea to Kaifeng Mansion. Basically, they got sick several times and died a lot. Minnv thought that Zhang Shangshu sent it to the palace, and it would be well taken care of, but they didn't In order to frame others, he would not hesitate to kill an auspicious one."

"What nonsense are you talking about, girl?!" Concubine Zhang was already listening impatiently, "Even if the Qilin wasn't a miracle that my father asked for from the mountains, it was brought back from overseas with great difficulty, so what good does killing the Qilin do to us?! "

Jiang Lin shouted: "Because you also want to 'resuscitate' Qilin, under your Zhang family's method!"

"Absurd! Absurd, Your Majesty..."

"Shut up." Zhao Zhen said sharply, then looked at Xiao Le and said, "Go on."

"Minnv also doesn't know why Zhang Shangshu went to such great lengths to frame a person. Minnv only knows that their plan today is to poison this auspicious animal that was sent to the palace, and to blame its death on others. Finally, let me say that the Taoist mage I found in the mountains can bring the unicorn back to life. In fact, it is replaced by another auspicious one that is healthy... If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can go to Zhang Shangshu's villa outside the city to check it out. !"

Xiao Le's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice became choked up: "Minnv spent half of her life with them. I really can't see these living animals dying innocently for unknown reasons, so I deliberately starved them for several days. , and fed it some herbs that paralyzed it, and the blood on its body was also from the folk girl, and the girl didn't hurt it..."

Xiao Le knelt on the ground, revealing a bloody wound on her forearm, and kowtowed: "Ministers dare not ask His Majesty to forgive them for deceiving the king, but only hope that the auspicious people can live well..."

Everyone was moved by Xiao Le's weeping and weeping. The lucky one didn't understand what happened, but seeing her crying so sadly, it broke free from Zhan Zhao's restraint, lowered its head and rubbed against her shoulder.

Seeing such a scene, even though Zhang Yaozuo had been in the officialdom for many years, he could only utter one sentence dryly: "The old minister was wronged..."

Zhao Zhen knew that this person could not be kept any longer, so he couldn't help but close his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Bao Zhongcheng, I will leave it to you to go to Zhang's mansion to investigate the case of Ji Li."

When the matter was settled, Jiang Lin's eyes finally fell on Xiao Shitou who was sitting far away.

The other party's eyes were shining, and when he saw him looking towards him, he immediately showed a relieved smile.Jiang Lin smiled, shook his hands twice, and made a motion of rubbing his head.

No matter how his status changes, he is still his younger brother.

After leaving the palace, Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought I was going to watch a fireworks show, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Fortunately, the ending was safe and sound. This time, I'm afraid it's going to be bad luck!"

Zhan Zhao smiled, but there was another thing on his mind.He asked Jiang Lindao: "Jiang Shaoqing, you just said that you already know who the person who pretended to be a eunuch and attacked you is true?"

Jiang Lin flicked his fan and said, "How dare Jiang commit the crime of deceiving the emperor in front of the officials?"

Bai Yutang asked anxiously, "Then who is he?"

Jiang Lin smiled and asked, "Bai Sizhi first talk to Jiang, what is your impression of Jiang?"

Bai Yutang punched him with his right hand, frowned and said, "Are you sick?"

Jiang Lin turned to Zhan Zhao again, and said, "What about Brother Zhan?"

"Jiang Shaoqing is a very good person..." Zhan Zhao reacted, and said, "You suspect that the two of us are pretending to be?"

"As expected, brother Zhan is smarter." Jiang Lin waved his fan and said, "When I was attacked by that fake eunuch today, although I couldn't recognize his face, I thought he was very familiar, and he hit me from the front. This made Jiang suspect that it was my old friend who slipped out of prison to see me."

Bai Yutang frowned, and said, "You're talking about that Ye Fengqiu from Treading Snow Hall?"

Jiang Lin nodded, and pondered: "Ventriloquism, disguise, and prison escape, Ye Fengqiu knows more than Jiang can imagine. I'll go to the prison early tomorrow morning to see the situation."

But the next morning, before Jiang Lin could go to the prison to confirm Ye Fengqiu's condition, he was woken up by the noise at home.

He got a little angry for a while.

Xiao Shitou is not living at his house today, who is so blind to disturb him to sleep late during the holidays when he is not in court!

Jiang Lin pushed open the door with a face full of displeasure, and asked impatiently: "Who insists on running here so early in the morning to make people wake up?"

With a "bang", Jiang Lin was directly knocked down to the ground by a whip. The voice of the visitor was low and hoarse, which made Jiang Lin feel an instinctive fear.

"I don't know how to get up and fall down when I touch it, how can I look like a man!"

Jiang Lin's drowsiness was swept away in an instant, he didn't care to get up, and hurriedly raised his head.

I saw that the coming man was wearing a handsome robe, his temples were frosty white and neat, and the expression on his face was as solemn as ever.

Jiang Lin opened his eyes wide in surprise, and instantly realized the other party's identity - not only because the original owner's instinctive resistance was stalking his body, but also because the other party's face was similar to that of the prosecutor who had been a prosecutor for more than 20 years in modern times. Dad... exactly the same.
