Spring dyed pear blossoms

Early the next morning, a female corpse was found on the bank of the moat in the outskirts. She was wearing a red gauze dress, her hair was disheveled, and her face was still very ugly.It's frightening to see people like this.

The bold ones surrounded and pointed, while the timid ones huddled behind them and whispered.It wasn't until someone from the government came and carried the body back to the county government office for inspection, that people left disappointed.

The person in charge of this case is Cai Yuanqing, Captain of Chang'an, and Meng Qiucheng has some friendship with this person.Today I specially came to him to help find someone, saying that the cousin of a distant relative came to Chang'an, and she should have arrived earlier, but he waited for several days but did not see anyone.

She was worried, so she wanted to find Cai Yuanqing, hoping that he could send someone to help find him.

Cai Yuanqing saw that it was Meng Qiucheng, so he didn't dare to shirk it.He is now a popular person in front of the emperor, so many people have written letters to him, but the emperor blocked him.It can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to this person in his heart.Even if the princess refused to marry him, it did not prevent him from being promoted.

Cai Yuanqing has worked in the officialdom for more than ten years, and he is still only a captain of Chang'an until now.There is also a lot of money given out back and forth, but unfortunately, there is still no hope of promotion.Seeing that people reach middle age and can no longer be promoted, they can only achieve the position of Captain Chang'an in this life.

And the older you are, the more likely you will be transferred from afar.Being an official in Kyoto is the dream of all officials. How could he be willing to transfer far away?

Now that Meng Qiucheng has something to ask of him, he naturally wants to help. If he can make friends with him and climb up this crooked-neck tree like Meng Qiucheng, maybe he can follow suit.

So without saying a word, he immediately dispatched the servants in the mansion to look for it.

As a result, the person was not found, but a female corpse was found beside the moat.The yamen servant returned to the government office with the corpse. Cai Yuanqing stepped forward to take a look, and put down the white cloth covering the corpse in disgust, "Who discovered it first? Does anyone know her?"

The yamen servant hesitated, whispered something in Cai Yuanqing's ear, then took out something from his bosom and handed it to Cai Yuanqing.

Cai Yuanqing took the things and looked at them, panic flashed in his eyes.

Meng Qiucheng asked casually from the side, "Lord Cai, what's the matter?"

Cai Yuanqing showed embarrassment on his face, and stepped forward and said, "Master Meng, to be honest, someone found a woman's body by the moat on the outskirts of the city this morning. The author has already inspected it, and she died of drowning."

"Drowning by the river, maybe I accidentally drowned myself!"

Cai Yuanqing shook his head with an ugly expression, "It would have been great if it was like this, but I found this in the hands of this woman." He held the thing in his hand in the air.

Meng Qiucheng fixed his eyes and looked, and couldn't help being surprised, "Hey, isn't this the family order of Mr. Fang, the chief envoy? How could it be in the hands of this woman?" Meng Qiucheng flipped over the golden token, and engraved a Build characters. "I remember, Mr. Fang's son's single name is also a Jian character!"

"Isn't it! It's about human life, hey, the lower officials don't dare to cheat for personal gain!"

Meng Qiucheng nodded, "That's right, Mr. Cai enforces the law impartially and is not afraid of power. I will make it clear to the emperor. If Mr. Fang's son did it, I will uphold justice for you."

Hearing this, Cai Yuanqing was even more embarrassed, he didn't want Meng Qiucheng to intervene, he just wanted to make big things into small things, and make small things into nothing, and calm is the best.

Meng Qiucheng also knew what he was thinking, so he didn't point it out, he just walked up to the female corpse and smiled, "Master Fang's young master has always been flirtatious, and I don't know which girl he has taken a fancy to to drive her to death. It's gone." As he said that, he bent down and uncovered the white cloth, his eyes suddenly paled.

Among the female facial features, only those lips can be seen.Bubbly eyes, flat nose bridge, crooked nose, yellow buck teeth, which can be retracted even when the mouth is closed.

This woman was extremely ugly, and Meng Qiu wanted to pretend to be miserable, but after reading it, she was stunned for a long time, pinching her own arm secretly, and wailing hard, "Cousin! This, this is my cousin! Okay. This Fang Jian actually attacked my cousin, I will fight him today."

Cai Yuanqing had a big head, "Master Meng, have you looked carefully? Is this really your cousin?"

Meng Qiucheng took the arm of the female corpse and said, "Can this be fake? I used to play with my cousin when I was a child, and accidentally scratched my cousin's arm, leaving a permanent scar. I was beaten by my distant relative for this." After a pause. After so many years, I may not remember my appearance, but the scars are absolutely unmistakable.

My poor cousin, you suffered such catastrophe when you just entered the capital, you are really jealous!Cousin, don't worry, I will never let the murderer who hurt you go.

Mr. Cai, I hope you can handle this matter impartially, and I want to observe the whole process! "

Cai Yuanqing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, the next official will definitely investigate to the end." But he was extremely reluctant in his heart, but this time he picked up a hot potato.

Fang Jinzhong is the chief envoy, and this Meng Qiucheng is Yushi Zhongshulang, he can be regarded as his immediate boss, or a celebrity in front of the emperor, it is not good to offend anyone right now.

Cai Yuanqing reluctantly sent someone to Fang Jinzhong's mansion to lock Fang Jian up.He told Fang Jinzhong the whole story, and then he cupped his fists and apologized, "Lord Fang, I have no other choice but to be an official. The one who offended you this time is Lord Meng, and it's not good to be a low-ranking official. It's better for Lord Fang to talk to Lord Meng about it." If you can keep it private, it will be easy to handle."

Cai Yuanqing glanced at Fang Jinzhong, and really couldn't figure out why his son would be so obsessed with such an ugly woman, and even hurt someone's life.Even if such a woman was given to him for nothing, he would despise it.

Cai Yuanqing shook his head and sighed, hurriedly led the people back to the government office, and then conducted a routine interrogation.

But this Fang Jian insisted that he did not kill anyone, let alone had any disputes with such an ugly woman.Cai Yuanqing didn't dare to listen to Fang Jian's one-sided words, so he sent a yamen servant to investigate.

There will be results in the evening.

The people on the boat last night said that they saw Fang Jian leading a woman in red, and heard the woman calling for help from a distance.None of these people dared to stand up because they were afraid of offending Fang Jian.As for Fang Jian's cronies, they insisted that they have been with Fang Jian all along.

It will take some time to find out whether it is true or false, so Fang Jian was temporarily detained.

In the evening, Meng Qiucheng sat in the mansion, knocking on the table with one hand, while staring at Ayu.

"You found the female corpse?"

Ayu nodded.

"Is this official so ugly? Even if you can't find someone similar, you should at least find someone who can see it!"

A Yu raised his head and glanced at Meng Qiucheng, "It's not too much difference. It took a lot of effort to find this female corpse from the mass grave, sir, let's make do with it!"

Meng Qiucheng held an unknown evil fire in his heart, and was almost hurt internally by A Yu's words.

Master Zhou stood aside and said in a low voice, "My lord, there is only a female corpse on the left and right, and it is still unclaimed. Since there is no family, no one will suspect that my lord is your cousin. Besides distant relatives, it is natural that there is no such thing as a dead woman." Where did you go. Why should your lord care about this?"

Meng Qiucheng clenched his hands into fists, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.She gathered up all her strength and shouted, "How can I say this, you are also very handsome, you guys, why did you bring me such, such a female corpse?"

Master Zhou smiled respectfully, "My lord, the deceased is already dead, my lord is now in the stoma industry."

Ayu nodded in agreement, "Although this girl is ugly, her corpse can help you get rid of corrupt officials and behead officials. That's a merit. Maybe when King Yan is happy, he will make her a beautiful lady from a wealthy family in the next life." .”

Master Zhou gave a thumbs up from his sleeve, "That's right, this girl should be praised."

Meng Qiucheng looked at the two people's rhetoric in amazement, and felt as if he had been calculated by someone.She sighed and finally gritted her teeth. Anyway, she already recognized her as her cousin, and burying this meritorious girl afterwards was considered a commendation for her.

It's just this resentment, she really can't bear it, the only way to comfort her is to see the beauty, relieve her pain of lovesickness.

So early the next morning, he entered the palace and went to Qinghe Hall.

Knowing his purpose, Wei Anrong didn't say much, and led Xia Lian to the bedroom to rest.

Seeing that there was no one around, Meng Qiucheng couldn't wait to hug Jinxi, "It's like three autumns if we don't see each other for a day. If we don't see each other for a few days, the lovesickness will rot."

Jin Xi shook his head and chuckled, "When will you change your habit of talking nonsense?"

Meng Qiucheng looked down at the person in his arms, and said with a serious expression, "Every word I said to you is true and sincere."

"Yes, yes, why do you have time to come and see me today? Has Fang Jinzhong made any progress?"

"Yes, but it will take some time." Meng Qiucheng told Jinxi all about how he captured Fang Jianyuan, and at the end he was a little angry, "Ah Yu is so angry with me, I will never let him be here." The wedding night will be easy. When the time comes, you must let him know what will happen to you if you offend me. "

Jinxi couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, "Who says Ayu is stupid, I think Ayu is the one who understands you best." At the end, he regretted a little, "I didn't expect you to use such a method to It's really your style to lead Fang Jian into a swindle. It's just, what a pity!"

Meng Qiucheng stared at the thoughtful person in front of him, a little puzzled, "What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that I haven't seen your appearance in women's clothing." She imitated Meng Qiucheng's usual appearance, and lifted Meng Qiucheng's chin, "However, the days are still long, and there will always be opportunities."

After hearing this, Meng Qiucheng nodded with a smile, "That's right, the days are still long."

"Oh, that's right. A few days ago, I went to see Concubine Dong." Jin Xi suddenly remembered.

"Concubine Dong? What did you see her for?"

"I didn't see her, she wanted to see me."

"She saw you?" Meng Qiucheng frowned, not understanding the reason. "Why does she want to see you?"

"because of you!"
