Chapter 17 The Murderer Refers to the Royal Street
Let's say that Mu Bin received Zhu Youzhang's order, so he was naturally in a hurry to investigate the case, this case is easy to say, difficult to say, in fact, it is also easy, but it is only for three days, I am afraid it is a little tight. ∮ 8∮1∮ ∮ text,.
Mu Bin sat on the stone steps outside the door of the morgue, after thinking about it, he thought about it for a long time, but he always had no clue, after the autopsy was completed, he came out and took the door with him, sat beside Mu Bin casually, and asked, "My lord has no clue yet?"
Without listening to Mu Bin's answer, he looked back at the closed door and said: "Although the most obvious scar on her body is the knife in her heart, but I just saw it, the blood flowed very little, and it was black, I am afraid that the knife was used after a long time of death, in my opinion, she should have been twisted off her neck in advance." The hour of death was about last night. ”
"Child?" Mu Bin couldn't help but be suspicious, and answered: "Could it be that her body was hidden in Xinuan Pavilion last night?" How is this possible, the sub-hour is on duty, and the head of the palace is the most tightly guarded at that time. ”
"Lord Mu has forgotten, Your Majesty often rests in Kunning Palace, and at the moment the guards of Qianqing Palace are loose and not tight, if the murderer wants to sneak into Qianqing Palace, it is easiest to take advantage of the shift."
"But you also said just now, that knife was inserted by Jinyu a long time after her death, could it be that the murderer has always been hiding in the Qianqing Palace!" Mu Binyan suddenly stopped, as if he had suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "What do you mean, the murderer is a person from the Qianqing Palace!"
After thinking about it for a while, he frowned and shook his head slightly, and said, "No, there is another possibility, the murderer is from Kunning Palace."
Mu Bin twisted his eyebrows tightly, if it was a person from Kunning Palace, the first thing he could think of was Nan Xu, he unconsciously lowered his eyes, and asked lightly: "What do you say?"
"In addition to the people of the Qianqing Palace, in this palace, there is another person who can enter and exit the Qianqing Palace at will......"
"Say no more!" Mu Bin knew who he was referring to, but he didn't want to believe it, so he interrupted immediately, stood up with a displeased face, and got up leisurely. Turning his head and leaving unhurriedly, he looked like a hanger, and only said: "If Master Mu doesn't listen to my advice, then I can't help it."
Mu Bin paused before raising his eyes. Looking into the distance, he finally asked, "What does the royal street line mean?"
He stopped, turned around and looked at him, sneered, and said, "Probably referring to the people walking on the streets of the Imperial City."
Then he said that and left. The meaning of what he said about the Royal Street Line was clearly to fool Mu Bin, and he pointed the finger straight to the finger from the beginning, how could he not understand what the Royal Street Line meant!
Mu Bin was confused, lowered his eyes and muttered to himself: "Huangcheng Street ......"
When he noticed that Mu Bin had left, he turned his head to look at the figure of Mu Bin running away in a hurry, his eyes showed a trace of regret, and he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and only said: "Alas, it's all for the word 'love'."
It is indeed strange to say that this pretentious voice is very different from Fang Cai and Mu Bin's words. Again, he actually dropped a human face, and looked at that human face carefully, it was not the appearance of Fang Cai!
Speaking of the people in the palace entering and leaving the imperial city, if Mu Bin wants to check from here, he naturally has to go to Chengtianmen. ●▲▼Bayi Chinese▼Net. ?
Mu Bin is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the guards guarding Chengtianmen are only six grades, and when he saw that Mu Bin had something to do and came to look for him, he ran over like a pug and stammered.
This Mu Bin is an upright character, and he has always hated such sycophants. With a disdainful face, he asked with a straight face, "Who are the people who entered and exited the palace last night?"
"Last night?" The guard was stunned for a moment, and said quite funny: "That's a lot, there is Lord Li Dongyang." There is Lord Yang Yanhe, and Lord Xie Qian, oh yes, and Lord Cheng Minzheng. I guess it was ...... last night."
"I'm not asking you these people!" Mu Bin hurriedly interrupted, and reprimanded with a little anger: "What I asked is, who in the palace has ever gone out!"
The guard thought for a moment. said: "No, who is out of the palace at night."
Mu Bin was impatient for a while, and said, "Bring me the book!"
The guard then turned around and took the book and handed it to Mu Bin, Mu Bin opened it and saw only the courtiers, there was no one in the palace recorded on the front and back pieces of paper, and he couldn't help but be suspicious, and he was tightly pressed together with his eyebrows, and the guard suddenly seemed to be suddenly opened, and said: "Oh yes, yesterday was the burial of the Marquis of Shouning, Your Majesty and Niangniang went out of the palace early in the morning to Cuiwei Mountain, and came back at noon, but Your Majesty and Niangniang went out of the palace, and the humble position has always been not recorded here."
"Yesterday Niangniang left the palace?"
"Yes."
Mu Bin's eyes were confused, he shook his head slightly, and said to himself silently: "No, it's impossible."
The guard was puzzled and said, "What...... No way? ”
As if he hadn't heard of it, Mu Bin just threw the book in the hands of the guards, and then walked past him out of the palace.
At that time, it was getting late, the streets of the imperial city were becoming more and more lively, Mu Bin was uncertain, walking in the crowd but there was no one around, and suddenly heard a child reading aloud: "The green trees in the south of the street are full of spring and flocculent, the snow is full of spring roads, the trees are colorful and delicate, the people at the bottom of the trees are Zhu Hu, and the north building is ......."
"What are you reading?" When Mu Bin heard this, he seemed to hear Nan Xu's name in a trance, and he couldn't help but ask.
The boy sat on the stone steps, looked up at him, and said, "These are the words of Yan Jidao."
"What's your name?"
Without thinking, the child said bluntly: "Royal Street Walking."
Mu Bin's heart trembled, paused, and then asked, "What was the first sentence you just read?"
The child shook his head and read word by word: "The green trees in the south of the street are full of spring." ●▲▼Bayi Chinese▼Net. ?”
"Nan Su ......" Mu Bin lowered his eyes, frowned and said to himself, and now all kinds of spearheads are pointed at Nan Xu, and he can't help but believe it, what he lacks at the moment is just evidence.
When the child saw that Mu Bin was leaving in a hurry, he also stood up, ran into the alley in a hurry, and called out to a woman in a blue shirt: "Sister!"
The woman also approached, stroked the child's head, and said, "That's good," and then took out a bulging money bag from her sleeve and handed it to him, and the child took the money bag, and said with joy, "Thank you, sister."
Seeing that the child was gone, the maid behind the woman asked, "Miss, the slave really doesn't understand, why do you want to read "Royal Street Walking" in front of that brocade guard?"
The woman spread her hands and said, "I don't understand either."
"Ning'an!"
At that time, there was a call on the street, Ning An was startled when he heard the call, and raised his eyes to see two middle-aged men, one was strong, but full of fat, and the other was thin, but he was squirrel.
"Daddy!"
Ning An greeted him with a smile. The middle-aged man standing in front of him glanced sideways at the child who ran away, and then asked, "What did you just do?"
"Dad," Ning An seemed dissatisfied, and said angrily: "You always have to meddle in the affairs of your daughter's family."
"Good, good. I just don't interfere. ”
Seeing the situation, Ning An was coquettish, grabbed the middle-aged man's arm, and said, "Dad, I heard that the queen will hold a banquet in the palace in a few days." Invite the sons and ladies of dignitaries and nobles to have a drink, and I want to go too. ”
"Those are all wine banquets for delicate people, you are from Jiangmen, so you don't have to follow it."
"I don't care!" Ning An seemed to be angry, withdrew his hand and said, "I must go."
"Ning'an...... But do you have a sweetheart? The middle-aged man asked tentatively.
Ning An was right, and said ashamedly: "Eh, Dad, my daughter still has to get married," Ning An said and hurriedly ran away.
The middle-aged man suddenly smiled, and suddenly heard someone calling: "General Jiang!"
He replied and saw that it was Liu Ji. Then he said, "Liu Shangshu."
Liu Ji also shook his head and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't want to meet here."
"That's ......" Liu Ji looked at Ning An's distant figure, quite puzzled, General Jiang smiled and said: "That's the little girl Ning An, who has been pampered since she was a child and doesn't understand the rules, and I hope Liu Shangshu won't be surprised."
Liu Ji also replied politely: "Everywhere, it is said that the eighteen changes of the female university, and now love has grown up." It's really unrecognizable. ”
Kunning Palace should have been silent, but now I could only hear Zhang Junyu chattering, holding Zhu Houzhao in his arms and making a fuss.
"Good. Your father has not come back yet, don't you miss him very much, will the queen mother take you to him? Zhang Junfang lowered his head and touched Zhu Houzhao's nose with the tip of his nose as he spoke, and called out very dotingly: "Huh? Zhao'er. ”
Zhu Houzhao just kept laughing, and Zhang Junfang raised his head and looked at him with affection. Then he said: "Zhao'er, can you call your mother and listen to it?"
This Zhu Houzhao seemed to understand, and opened his mouth to move his mouth, but only made people hear the sound of wow wow, although it was so, it also made Zhang Junyu smile.
"Niangniang," Mei Dai entered the hall and said, "Lord Mu Bin is here."
Zhang Junfang frowned slightly, slightly displeased, glanced at Tian, Tian came and took Zhu Houzhao away, Zhang Junfang said coldly: "You retreat."
"Yes," Tian left with Zhu Houzhao in his arms.
Zhang Junfang turned around and sat down, and said, "Call him in."
"See Niangniang," Mu Bin entered the hall to salute first, but Zhang Junfang deliberately ignored it, only picked up the teacup sideways, lowered his eyes and took a sip, before he said lightly: "Get up."
"But the facts of the case have an eyebrow?" Zhang Junyu gently put down the teacup, and his gestures did not lose his majesty.
"Yes," Mu Bin straightened up, raised his eyes and inadvertently glanced at Nan Su who was standing behind Zhang Junyu.
Zhang Junfang followed his gaze, looked sideways slightly, and then asked lukewarmly, "What does Lord Mu mean by such eyes?"
Mu Bin was stunned for a moment, only to know that he was asking Zhang Junfang to take a look.
"At the time of the autopsy, now Jinyu's arm was written with the words 'Royal Street Line'," Mu Bin glanced sideways at Nan Xu when he spoke, and he saw that panic flashed in her eyes, so he had the heart to avoid her and not mention it, and said: "I think it was the clue she left, and it was traced to the outside of the palace, so I checked the record of entering and leaving the palace in Chengtianmen, and by chance, only the people in the Niangniang Palace entered and exited the imperial city yesterday, and the lowly suspicion ......"
Zhang Junyu heard the word "Royal Street Xing", and his heart was shocked, only then did Mu Bin pay attention to Nan Su intentionally or unintentionally, I am afraid that he has become suspicious of her, Nan Xu's name is taken from "Royal Street Xing", and the murderer made this move clearly to blame Nan Xu!
Mu Bin replied, Zhang Junfang followed closely and said casually: "What do you suspect, say it."
"I suspect that it was someone from Niangniang's palace who killed Jinyu."
"Oh?" Zhang Junfang raised the corners of his lips, showed a slight smile, and said, "How can you do it if you are suspicious, you have to come up with evidence to make this palace believe you."
Although Jin Yu was stabbed in the heart, she was killed by someone who broke her neck, and when she died, she should have changed her value last night, and the guards of the Qianqing Palace were loose, and the murderer should have sneaked into the Qianqing Palace at that time. The murderer hid in the Qianqing Palace for about two hours, and then stabbed the short sword into Jinyu's heart to make a false appearance. Two hours later, before the sky was clear, the murderer took the opportunity to escape again, and even if she was hidden in the Qianqing Palace, it didn't hurt if she was revealed, because she could enter and leave the Qianqing Palace at will on weekdays," Mu Bin said this, and secretly glanced at Nan Su, but saw that Nan Su's face was calm and there was nothing abnormal, and he said: "I have inquired about my humble duties, and the only people who can enter and leave the Qianqing Palace at will on weekdays are Niangniang's people."
Zhang Junyu puffed coldly and said, "According to what you say, wouldn't it be more convenient for the people of the Qianqing Palace to do it?"
"But Jinyu left the word 'Royal Street Walk'......"
Without waiting for Mu Bin to finish speaking, Zhang Junyu said: "Is this evidence?"
Mu Bin was at a loss first, and he had nothing to say, Zhang Junyu turned to a sarcastic laugh, and only said: "When did the people in this palace also have such great ability."
"Niangniang," Mu Bin lowered his eyes, "This is where the duty lies, please Niangniang...... Do not obstruct the performance of your official duties. ”
Zhang Junyu was also very calm, and said: "You said that this palace hinders you from performing your official duties, but you went to this palace to spread wild without evidence, is this palace intended to protect your shortcomings, or are you at the expense of the first?"
Mu Bin was in a hurry, and he was upright, so he didn't hold back his mouth, and said bluntly: "The humble position is just ordered to come to investigate the case, what does it mean for the mother to blindly obstruct it!"
After Mu Bin finished speaking, the hall suddenly quieted down, and Mu Bin realized that his words were too intense, thinking that Zhang Junfang must be on fire, but he never thought that Zhang Junfang was still harmonious.
"Master Mu is really bold!" Zhang Junfang stood up leisurely, walked to Mu Bin unhurriedly, and said again: "You ask what the palace means by obstructing official business, and the palace also needs to ask you," Zhang Junfang suddenly raised his hand to caress Mu Bin's heart, and asked lightly: "What does it mean that Lord Mu is hiding the jade flute of the palace?"
Mu Bin was shocked when he heard this, and when he saw Zhang Junyu doing this, he retreated again and again, only took out the jade flute in his arms, glanced at Nan Xu, and then said: "Niangniang forgives the sin, I don't know that this jade flute turned out to be Niangniang's."
"That Master Mu thinks," Zhang Junyu raised his eyes, looked at him with a smile, and asked quite ridiculously, "Who is this jade flute?"
Mu Bin was silent, and only made a gesture to return the jade flute, but Zhang Junfang turned his back to him, his eyebrows were extremely indifferent, and he said unusually calmly: "This jade flute was originally intact, but now there are countless cracks, even if the palace takes it back, it can no longer be used with peace of mind." Let's go. ”
Hearing this, Mu Bin glanced at Nan Su again, and when he saw that she was silent, he couldn't help but be merciful, and said, "Retire from your humble position."
As Zhang Junfang said, the jade flute has countless cracks, and even if it is taken back, it can no longer be used with peace of mind.
Just as she talked about Yifeng, since it has become impossible, what is the use of keeping that jade flute, whether you read it or not, in the end, after all, it is a romantic dissipation, and in the end, no one remembers anyone, only knows that she once liked such a person......
