As soon as Su Luochen received the case, he went to Yizhuang to examine the deceased's body.

Sun Jingyi is 16 years old this year. When Su Luochen inspected her body, she found that she was covered with wounds in different shapes. They were beaten with fists, kicked with feet, and cut with sharp knives. The fatal wound was on her neck. , she was strangled to death.However, although she was beaten all over her body, there was no trace of violation.

Immediately afterwards, Su Luochen went to Mrs. Sun's house.Sun Jingyi is the only legitimate daughter of Mrs. Sun and his wife. They treated her like a jewel in their palm. Mrs. Sun passed out when she heard the news of Miss Sun's death. Chen asked the rest of the Sun family.

The last person to see Miss Sun and her maid Xiaolan on the day they disappeared was the coachman of the Sun family who took them to incense.

According to the coachman, he took Miss Sun to the Golden Pavilion Temple that day, and he waited outside the temple after arriving, while Miss Sun was accompanied by her maid Xiaolan to offer incense in the temple.Usually, they would come out within an hour after they went to offer incense, but the coachman waited for more than two hours, but he still couldn't wait for them. Only then did the driver realize that something was wrong, so he hurried to the government to report it.

The coachman had been drinking tea at the nearby tea stall while waiting for them outside the temple. The tea stall owner could testify for him that he had no time to commit the crime at all, so he could be ruled out as a suspect.

Then Su Luochen asked other people in the Sun House. Everyone in the Sun House said that Ms. Sun had a gentle and kind personality. Apart from going to incense regularly, she rarely went out, and she never had any grudges with anyone, so vendetta against her was ruled out.Since it is impossible to target her, the most likely target is her father, Mr. Sun Cheng and Sun.

As the Minister of the Household Department, Mr. Sun holds a lot of power, so there are naturally many political enemies.But in officialdom, conflicts arising from differences in political interests are generally resolved above the court, and grievances will not be extended to the other party's family members. However, since it is an investigation, any possibility cannot be missed, so Su Luochen asked Mr. Sun, has he sinned against anyone recently?

Mr. Sun thought for a while and said: "Speaking of offending people... there is one. A while ago, Jiuqian asked me to ask the Ministry of Households to allocate an extra 50 taels of silver to his 'Kirin' every year, but the two The national treasury was empty in [-], and there was another flood in the south a few days ago. I really couldn’t pay him any money, so I rejected this matter. Could it be because this matter made him hold a grudge, so he vented his anger on my daughter, and then Threatening me so that I will allocate funds to him?"

Su Luochen thought to himself: Nine thousand years old can treat eunuchs to the point where one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, the rank should not be so low.

But since it's a clue, it's okay to check it out, and Jiuqian does have the ability to commit crimes.But Zha Jiuqian could not be like the former servant of Zha Sun's mansion, Jia Ding, who went over and said directly: "I suspect you are suspected of murder, please cooperate with me and answer my questions." If he dares to say that, if that Nine thousand years old is narrow-minded, he must find a chance to kill him.

Although it is not possible to ask clearly, you can investigate secretly. Su Luochen bribed the servant of Jiuqiantui's mansion and a young eunuch of the Chief of Rites to ask where Jiuqiantui has been recently, but did not get much useful information. message.

Nine-thousand-year-old Ye Yan explained that Li was the chief supervisor of the Ritual Supervisor, but he secretly did intelligence and assassination work, so he always kept himself very mysterious. Su Luochen came to this world for more than a year, but unexpectedly Never met him.

Usually Ye Yan would not appear in the palace except to meet the emperor, so the little eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies could not usually see him.And when he got home, he spent most of his time in the study, but the servant Su Luochen bought was a gatekeeper, so he couldn't enter the inner courtyard, so he couldn't provide useful information.

Su Luochen investigated the case for a whole day but found nothing, and was exhausted. In the evening, he found a noodle stall on the side of the road and ate a bowl of noodles. A stick hit the back of the head and passed out.

Su Luochen felt quite depressed after waking up. In his previous life, he was knocked unconscious and kidnapped on purpose, but in this life he was indeed careless.

Su Luochen found himself in a dungeon, sitting on a chair, his whole body was tightly bound by iron chains.

This is the end of the game! Su Luochen thought to himself.

If it was a rope, he might be able to break it with all his strength, but this is an iron chain, and it looks like it should be a high-end product made of cold iron. Although his current physical stats have been adjusted to the highest by him, he wants to break this iron chain. Chains are certainly out of the question.

When Su Luochen was at a loss, someone opened the dungeon door and walked in.

When Su Luochen saw the person who came in, he couldn't help sighing secretly: "You look so good!"

The person who came in was in his early twenties, wearing a purple gold crown on his head, and a black satin robe with auspicious clouds and flying eagles embroidered with gold thread. Although he was a man, he had a very beautiful face, with a pair of long and narrow phoenix under his sword eyebrows. Eyes, thin lips slightly pursed, temples cut like a knife, skin like curdled fat.

Su Luochen looked at the handsome man and swallowed. Just as he was scolding himself for being worthless and drooling whenever he saw a beautiful man, the man suddenly said, "I heard that you checked me for a day, but what did you gain?"

Only then did Su Luochen realize that the handsome man in front of him was Ye Yan, who was nine thousand years old.It's a pity that he has such a good appearance. If he is an ordinary son of a family, with this appearance, he will definitely be popular in the whole capital.

So Su Luochen quickly said: "No, no, the officials didn't find anything."

Ye Yan smiled evilly and said, "Who sent you here? Qi Hong? Concubine Zheng? Or the Empress? What is your purpose in investigating me? You'd better recruit from the truth, otherwise I will leave all the instruments of torture here to you Use it on your body."

Su Luochen looked at the dozens of instruments of torture, large and small, hanging behind Ye Yan, and quickly said truthfully, "This official was not sent by any of them. This official is only performing official duties to investigate the case." Then He told Ye Yan about the situation of Sun Jingyi's case and what Mr. Sun said to him.

After hearing this, Ye Yan laughed and said, "What a Sun Cheng! How dare you pour dirty water on me! What am I doing with his daughter? I asked him to give my 'Kirin' an extra 50 taels of silver every year." , but his master, Concubine Zheng, was afraid that I would become more powerful, so he would not allow him to allocate funds to me, so he rejected me on the grounds that the treasury was empty and that he wanted to provide disaster relief for the south, but how much money is in the treasury? But how can I not know? Even if he offends me, there's no need for me to intimidate him with this lowly method!"

After Ye Yan finished speaking, Su Luochen quickly nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, yes! We treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Nine thousand years old, you have a lot. Forgive me, what are you talking about?" For the sake of finding out, let him go down!"

Although Su Luochen knew that he seemed a little cowardly when he said that, but in this situation, he could only beg for mercy and admit cowardly, a man can bend and stretch.

Ye Yan cast a sideways glance at Su Luochen, and said, "I'll let you go because you are on official business, Ye Yi, and send Master Qiao home!"

After Ye Yan finished speaking, another young man in black walked in from the door, he should be Ye Yi.

Just as Ye Yi was about to step forward to untie Su Luochen, Ye Yan suddenly felt that he really didn't want others to touch this weak-looking scholar, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Ye Yi, get back, I will personally Take Mrs. Qiao back home."

Ye Yi nodded and backed out.

Ye Yan took out a black hood from her pocket and put it on Su Luochen's head, unchained him, and carried him on her shoulders.

Su Luochen instantly understood that he was planning to carry him all the way back to Qiao's mansion, so he quickly said: "Don't bother Lord Qiantose, I can go by myself, just lead me outside."

Ye Yan smiled and said: "How can this be done? You can't see anything with your hood on. If you accidentally fall when you go out, it will not be my responsibility." After speaking, he carried Su Luochen and walked out.

Su Luochen felt very embarrassed being carried by Ye Yan like this, but fortunately, Ye Yan's lightness kung fu was excellent, even with a big man carrying him, he was still able to fly over the walls as lightly as a swallow, and arrived outside the gate of Qiao's mansion in a short while.

Ye Yan put Su Luochen down, and whispered in his ear: "Master Qiao, you'd better not tell anyone about today's matter, if you say a word..."

Su Luochen hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I will pretend that today's incident never happened, and I will definitely keep my mouth shut!"

Ye Yan chuckled and quickly disappeared into the night.

After Su Luochen was sure that Ye Yan had left, he tore off his hood and threw it on the ground, yelling, "Damn eunuch! If I wasn't afraid that I wouldn't be able to beat you, I would definitely beat you all over the place!"
