Chapter 61: The Death of Scholar Cai

"Lord ......"

Zhao Jingyi stood with his hands in his hands, his face grim.

Lord Yin Tian of Jingzhao Mansion had a difficult face, and was about to speak, but saw Zhao Jingyi stretch out his hand and pressed it, so he closed his mouth in disagreement.

At this moment, Zhang Yi came in and said, "Lord Wang, the people from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are here. ”

It seems that this result was expected, and there were no surprises.

It didn't take long for the people to arrive at the door, and they were slightly surprised to see Zhao Jingyi. This prince has always lived in seclusion, and he has never been involved in major affairs in the DPRK and China, but he didn't expect that such a sensitive and complex case of Chunfu fraud could see people, which is incomprehensible, but although he was puzzled, he still saluted.

Zhao Jingyi's head is considered to have seen it.

The third division came over, just for one thing, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department asked Jingzhao Mansion Yin: "Lord Tian, has the cause of Scholar Cai's death been investigated?"

Jingzhao Mansion Yin looked at Zhao Jingyi, only to see that the latter was expressionless and couldn't see any hints, so he had to arch his hand and say: "If there is no mistake, you will hang yourself." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several adults present were different, and the eyes of the criminal department Shangshu lit up slightly, and asked with a little joy: "Aren't you afraid of crime?" Lord Tian, can you find a suicide note or something like that?"

"Lord Zheng......" Zuo Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate reminded with a low cough.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department suddenly hurriedly put on a correct posture, fortunately, the body of Scholar Cai has been sent to the mourning hall, and there is no one from Cai's Mansion in the study, otherwise it is easy to offend people if they say disrespectful words to the deceased.

You must know that although Scholar Cai is not as full of protΓ©gΓ©s as Bai Ge Lao, he is also a great Confucian who is full of peach and plums, although the fraud case has damaged his reputation, but he has accumulated over the years and is known as a righteous name, and there are no longer a few people who believe that the old man is wronged.

* I don't want to offend the reader yet.

Lord Tian wiped the sweat on his head and replied, "I didn't find it." ”

Dali Siqing said: "That is the case, I'm afraid I have to ask the people of Cai's house, although I believe that Cai University is a person, but after all, he is related to this fraud case, and there will always be some clues on weekdays." It's just that now the Cai Mansion is grieving, and if you don't cooperate with the trouble, it will be a troublesome thing, but this matter is boiling over, and the case is always closed earlier and there is an explanation earlier......"

"The emperor's order is in his body, and he can only invite Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Cai, the Cai family has a lot of seas. Shangshu pinched his beard and said, and then looked at Zhao Jingyi, quite embarrassed, "I just don't know ...... prince."

Since he hanged himself, the king took his leave. Zhao Jingyi's expression was faint, and he didn't have the slightest interest in what the third division was going to do next, but just instructed Zhang Yi, "The patrol battalion is only responsible for the security guards in Kyoto, and it is inconvenient to participate in the rest of the things." ”

"Yes, my lord. Zhang Yi responded with a fist, and then sent Zhao Jingyi away.

Only then did the adults suddenly realize that the prince of Rui could now control the patrol battalion, and it was natural for him to come and take a look, and he also made it clear that the prince would not participate in what they wanted to do, but he also warned not to lose proportion, if it was to bully women and children, otherwise the patrol battalion would have a legitimate reason to intervene.

Zhao Jingyi walked out of Scholar Cai's study, and the servant women along the way had already changed into sackcloth, with a sad look on their faces, their eyes were red, and they walked quickly, and there was an irrepressible cry coming from the front, it was the mourning hall.

He was inexplicably unhappy in his heart, and his expression was even more cold, but when he passed by the mourning hall, he suddenly stopped.

I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy wearing a filial piety hat and white linen, kneeling by the coffin, his expression was calm, but there were tears in his eyes, and when he saw Zhao Jingyi, he kowtowed.

Quiet, sad, resilient, out of step with the cries around and blending in.

Bachelor Cai left, and the next head of the Cai family did nothing, but he was a petty official, and he was about to decline. But Zhao Jingyi looked at this young man and suddenly felt that there was still hope for the Cai family.

"This is the eldest grandson of Bachelor Cai, named Xiangming, fifteen this year, I heard that he is very good at reading, he has been admitted to Xiucai, and he is also smart and sensible. Zhang Yi said behind him.

This teenager ...... Very similar, Zhao Jingyi's heart suddenly perked, and he thought of Lin Xi.

If you look closely, no, it's not like it at all.

Cai Xiangming has no grandfather, as well as his father and mother, but in the future, without the prestige of Cai Daxue, he will not get along as he is now. However, he can still quietly study, conduct scientific research, and walk a smooth path.

But his Lin Xi ......

Zhao Jingyi walked into the mourning hall, and the uncle of the Cai family immediately twisted three sticks of incense and respectfully handed it to him, he took it, and bowed three times to the old man who was already neatly dressed and looked peaceful in the coffin.

After worshipping, he took pity on Lin Xi, who was struggling to survive under the torture of illness, and suddenly lost all his support.

Second worship, he admired the strong surrounding, and Lin Xi, who was betrayed by his senior brother, was still able to deal with it calmly and get out smoothly.

Three bows, he regretted that he could not appear by Lin Xi's side to protect him at his most vulnerable and helpless moment.

In the end, he inserted the incense into the incense burner, and at this time Zhao Jingyi had already made up his mind in his heart, whether Lin Xi responded to him or not, he would be Lin Xi's biggest support in the future.

If God favors Lin Xi and opens his mind, then this life and this life will no longer be negative.

Thinking like this, Zhao Jingyi suddenly had an impulse, he wanted to see Lin Xi urgently, this impulse had never been so strong, as if it could burn his reason.

However, before he left, Cai Xiangming had already blocked his way.

"Lord Wang. ”

Zhao Jingyi frowned, "What's the matter?"

As if taken aback by his cold tone, Cai Xiangming subconsciously took a step back, looking a little panicked.

After waiting for a few breaths, seeing that the young man still didn't say anything, Zhao Jingyi didn't wait any longer, but before he took a few steps, he found that his sleeve was pulled.

"Lord Wang, I have something to say to you, can you...... Delay for a while?"

The young man's expression was pleading, looking quite helpless, Zhao Jingyi hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

When Zhao Jingyi left Cai's mansion, his expression was vague.

"Lord, on the day the Xingbang was announced, my grandfather said that his life would not last long, and he handed me the suicide note the next day, instructing me to wait for him to leave one day and hand it over to someone he could trust. Xiang Ming thought about it and didn't know who could be trusted, until he saw the prince, Xiang Ming was ashamed, and asked the prince to present it to the emperor on his behalf!"

The suicide note was burning in his sleeve, and he hadn't read it, and he wasn't going to read it.

Zhao Jingyi turned over and got on his horse, and headed towards the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

Lin Xi has been away from the Hou Mansion for nearly a month, and he didn't realize it before, but he misses it now.

In fact, as soon as he left the palace, the Hou Mansion already knew about it, counting the hour, someone was waiting at the door, looking at the several big cars that followed, as well as the majestic palace guards, his eyes were full of smiles.

He is even more attentive to this young master.

Lin Xi went to see Mrs. Tai first with several carts of gifts, and after greeting for a while, the old lady looked at it again and again, and then she could be let go.

"Mother is really, Xi'er has just come back, she must be tired, and she must let the child go back to rest well, and it is not too late to come back after the dinner in the evening. Shan sat down and quipped with a smile.

Lin Xi held Mrs. Tai's hand and said, "I'm not tired, I haven't changed my clothes yet, but I saw that my grandmother was heartfelt, so I had to ask my grandmother, and the two aunts endured some dust." ”

Lin Xi pretended to be coquettish, but it made Mrs. Tai smile all over her face, pointed to the door of her head, and scolded: "I haven't seen you for a month, and I don't see anything else, this ability to pretend to be stupid and obedient is good, and it can be seen that the people who live in the palace are also good." ”

Liu immediately said: "Xi'er is the prince's wife's uncle, there is no reason to treat it badly, and for the sake of the prince, the prince must take good care of it." ”

Because Xiao Jinxin was not in Zhao Jingyi's eyes, the Liu family probably died of heart, so they had to put their hopes on Lin Xi, if Zhao Jingyi took good care of Lin Xi, plus the prince, he would not fade the contacts of the Yongning Marquis Mansion in the future.

This is really a fact.

Lin Xi thought of Zhao Jingyi and sighed in his heart, what is this really a matter.

It's not a good word, but that's exactly what it means. Mrs. Tai nodded, didn't say anything more, looked at Lin Xi for a while, and then put her mind at ease.

At this time, there was another second lady, and the third lady came back and forth, the cousins and sisters greeted each other, and Lin Xi gave gifts, which was considered to be a resignation.

The third lady asked, "Is the prince okay?"

Lin Xi smiled and nodded.

The second lady said: "I was going to visit, but think about it, my sister is a woman, and she can't help much, so I have to pray for the safety of the son every day. ”

"My cousin has a heart. ”

The answer was in the middle of the rules, so I had to give up.

Although it was not Gonggong Cao who came to the Rui Wangfu this time, it was a kind of dignity for the big housekeeper to come in person, and the people in the room were smiling when he saw the heavy ceremony.

"The prince was already on the way, but he was called by something important, so he ordered me to come. One is to send Lin Gongzi back to the house, and the other is to congratulate the old lady on her birthday in advance. ”

Lin Xi sat beside Mrs. Tai, and said it so clearly in her heart, it seemed that Zhao Jingyi had been going to the north for a few days.

"Ah, it's going to be war again. Xiao Jinlan exclaimed in a low voice, with worry in her eyes, but thinking that it was Lord Rui, she also calmed down, "With the prince here, Hu Man is not afraid." ”

Everyone nodded.

After talking for a while, Lin Xi had a chance to get out and leave Chongjin Hall, but saw that Zhou's mother was already waiting outside, and her face was a little solemn.

Lin Xi's mood immediately sank, and when he saw the maids on both sides, he immediately said, "Say it on the road." ”

After walking for a while, there were few people on both sides, and Zhou's mother whispered: "Lanyuexuan has been robbed." ”

What the?

Lin Xi stopped and looked at Mother Zhou in surprise.

However, Mother Zhou was not joking, and nodded sternly.

Mother Zhou is not a person who has no purpose, it can be seen that things are quite strict, so Lin Xi didn't say anything more, and sped up her pace to return to Yuexuan.

However, as soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, Tuan Tuan knelt in front of him, and Lin Xi moved his eyebrows, waiting for her to speak.

"Young master, you handed over the yard to the slave maid to take care of, the slave and maid are ashamed, but they don't have the ability to take care of it, please punish you. ”

Tuan Tuan Tuan and the two girls, Yuan Yuan is lively and clever to follow him out a lot, Tuan Tuan is calm and cautious, he often stays to take care of the house, each has his own strengths, and has been doing well, Lin Xi is very relieved to hand over everything in the house to Tuan Tuan to take care of.

Yuan Yuan was a little anxious, "Young Master, Tuan Tuan has been cautious and careful, you know, there must be something ...... in this"

Lin Xi waved his hand, Tuan Tuan shook his head towards Yuanyuan, but saw Lin Xi rubbing his eyebrows and said, "I'm not busy punishing you, let's talk about what's going on first?"

"Yes. Tuan Tuan didn't get up, knelt down and said, "After you leave, the slave and maid will order Yuexuan to reduce the number of people walking around, and if there is something important to go out, you must first report to the slave and Zhou's mother, and you can only go after you get what you should have, and you will always be safe and sound after that." But just a few days ago, when I got up, the little girl found that something was wrong with the study when she sprinkled and cleaned, and the slave went in to see that your study had been turned over, and the books, paper and pencils, and ornaments were not placed in the right place. So I immediately checked the other places carefully, and found that not only the study but also the warehouse had traces of people entering. Even the innermost cage has been opened, and although it has been put back, the contents are all things that I have seen one by one, and they have been touched. The Fenglin Pavilion next to Lanyue Xuan began to be repainted as the new house of the second young master, although there is a courtyard wall separating it, but people are also quite messy in and out, I don't know if it's because ......of this."

There was nothing confidential in his study, and he didn't ask anyone to take care of it. But no matter what, this is the Hou Mansion! Could it be that his cousin can renovate a new house and make his yard be robbed?

Don't laugh at other people's big teeth, a century-old family doesn't get rich overnight.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi felt a little strange in his heart.

"What did you lose?"

Tuan Tuan shook his head, "I don't know. ”

Lin Xi frowned.

Zhou's mother said: "Later, the old slave took Tuan Tuan inside and outside to carefully inspect one side, and checked the list one by one, and indeed did not lose anything, but ......"

Mother Zhou hesitated.

"Mom, but it doesn't hurt. ”

"Later, the eldest young master came to borrow books, and the old slave took the young master to the study to look for it, but the young master didn't find the book he wanted, and said, 'Those travelogues Xi'er bought several copies, where did they go, and none of them were left, could it be that your young master took them to the palace?'"

Lin Xi's heart beat a few steps faster.
