Chapter 82: Sweetness

Yu Shi asked Luo Gong: "Their uncle and nephew have a good relationship?" ”

Luo Gong said: "Very good. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

How good is it?

It is the kind of blood that Zhang Dongsheng has raised in Zhang Qicong's hands since he was a child.

Zhang Qicong owes Meng Liangcai a life-saving favor, Zhang Dongsheng and Zhang Qicong have an uncle-nephew relationship like father and son, so this favor will be repaid by Zhang Dongsheng, because Meng Liangcai wants Zhang Qicong to pay it back, but Zhang Qicong of Yijie County can't afford to pay it back at all.

And Zhang Dongsheng is different, although he is only a citizen, he holds the power that Meng Liangcai needs.

What Meng Liangcai is inconvenient to come forward can be left to Zhang Dongsheng to do.

The Green Snake Token is the best credential.

Yu Shi said: "This Meng Liang is the prefect of a prefecture, whether it is QA County or Zhusha County, it is one of the six counties under the jurisdiction of Nanli Prefecture, Zhusha County is such a bad case, in the final analysis, he is also responsible for the prefect, and he also has a sum of money in terms of political performance at the end of his term, but he is not eager to find out the murderer of the Tongqian Zhixian case, but secretly uses the relationship between Zhang Zhixian and Zhang Dongsheng's uncle and nephew, and uses Zhang Dongsheng's power to make Zhang Dongsheng repay the grace of his life for Zhang Qi, which is really suspicious!" ”

Luo Gong said: "You will write a letter and send it back to Chu Jing later, and ask Zhang Dongsheng what is going on." ”

What's going on, mainly to listen to Zhang Dongsheng's attitude to this matter, and then how to follow up is true.

Luo Gong didn't say it explicitly, but Yu Shi understood.

Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli were listening, only to feel that Jinyiwei's hand was really up to the sky, and even a force like Zhang Dongsheng had such a direct letter to question, and the two of them suddenly had a higher level of awe for Luo Gong and Yushi.

And Meng Liangcai's approach, not to mention that Luo Gong and Yushi smelled a strange smell, even they also noticed that unusual situation.

But this matter has to be put down first, Luo Gong and Yu Shi didn't forget that there was a woman waiting for two people in the side hall of the lobby, so Yu Shi asked Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli to make a long story short, focusing on the Guan Jian they had hidden before!

This time, Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli really talked very quickly, what Yushi didn't expect was that this matter was still something closely related to her - Meng Liangcai's wife was actually her aunt Yao Meiling!

Out of Zhengguang Hall, on the way to the side hall of the lobby, Yu Shi frowned, and did not let go for a moment.

Luo Gong said with relief: "It's nothing, it's all Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli who are worrying about the sky." ”

Yes, but not quite.

Meng Liangcai's wife is Yushi's aunt Yao Meiling, and this matter is really a relationship that is not easy to handle.

Could it be that Zhang Dongsheng would not hesitate to help Meng Liangcai suppress Wang Peng, and Zhang Gengli would not allow a detailed investigation of the deaths of Chen Huiyao, Fang Shijun, and Lin Chang, the three magistrates, in addition to saving Zhang Qicong's life, but also for the sake of Yushi's face?

After all, Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli said that the incident happened half a month ago, and at that time, Yushi had completed his commitment to Zhang Dongsheng, and Zhang Dongsheng would look at her face and personally order his subordinate Green Snake to intervene in the Tongqian Zhixian case, which is not impossible.

Yu Shi sighed: "If Meng Liangcai is really related to the Tongqian Zhixian case, and his wife is my aunt and my mother's only sister-in-law, how can I be good if I ask about the crime or something?" ”

No wonder Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli learned that one of the two errands who came from Chujing to investigate the Tongqian Zhixian case was a Jinyi Wei Qianhu surnamed Yu, and the two felt that they should not tell the truth.

Wang Peng simply continued to use his illness to avoid it, while Zhang Gengli played a game of real and imaginary.

They are afraid that she will protect her shortcomings, and they are afraid that once they tell the truth, she will protect Yao Meiling's aunt and Meng Liangcai's uncle, and they will definitely die in the world!

Thinking of this, Yu Shi couldn't help but think of the two frightened and frightened looks of Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli when they left Zhengguang Hall, all of them looked like they were afraid of being corrected by her on the spot but they were stubbornly upright.

When she said it, "This thousand households have their own judgment, and they will never be partial to their own personal protection because of their relatives"!

The two of them really breathed a few sighs of relief, and even their straight waists were like crushed willow branches in an instant, and they almost fell to the ground all at once.

It was a posture formed by the natural reaction that only had to be stiff before and softened in an instant.

Yu Shi couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, she had been a judge of Hades many times, but this was the first time she was unintentionally a moment.

Wang Peng and Zhang Gengli are not unreasonable.

After all, it is connected to the blood, with the blood of the bones, even if there is not much contact, these are the facts that cannot be erased even if they lie in the coffin.

What she said to the two of them was true.

If Meng Liangcai is really related to the Tongqian Zhixian case, she will definitely not be partial.

I only hope that Meng Liangcai will never be a murderer.

Luo Gong walked, observing Yu Shi who was walking with him every step of the way, seeing that her expression was vague and uncertain, knowing that he was worried about Yao Meiling's aunt's sudden involvement, and when he was about to reach the side hall of the lobby, he said with certainty:

"Meng Liangcai can never be a murderer, you can rest assured!"

Yu Shi suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Luo Gong: "Why?" ”

Luo Gong said: "Although Meng Liangcai has no great talent, but he is still a fair and honest person, he can be promoted to the prefect of a prefecture, relying on his own efforts, every time he goes to any place, although his political achievements are not outstanding, but there is no big fault, it is considered a small merit, this is in the past 20 years, from the prefect of the seventh grade of the county step by step to the prefect of the fourth grade, like such a person, I think...... The murderer can't be him. ”

After a pause, he added: "I will remember this, that is because there was an excerpt before that Meng Liangcai was proposed to make up for a small gap in the Criminal Department, but it was not implemented later, and it was also because Meng Liangcai had no background and no great merit, so he was squeezed out." ”

Luo Gong's words all made Yushi's chaotic heart settle and settle.

But after listening to it and thinking about it, he felt that Luo Gong's words were just his own intuition, not any real basis.

After thinking about it, if Meng Liangcai is really related to the case, whether she is the murderer or not, she will definitely be punished by national law, no matter how much she worries, it is in vain.

If it hadn't, her worries would have become a joke.

It's useless to be really worried or not.

Thinking through this layer, Yu Shi instantly learned in Zhengguangtang that the Tongqian Zhixian case might be related to her uncle, and the cranky thoughts that came out of her heart were all pulled out in an instant, and her mind suddenly became clear again:

"Whether you're right or not, I really shouldn't be drilling at this juncture now, and if I did, it would be really stupid!"

Luo Gong glanced at Yu Shi obliquely, but did not speak.

Yu Shizheng was high, and she didn't notice Luo Gong's slanted glance, if she found this meaningful glance, she probably had to explode again, and then sulk secretly in no other way.

Stepping into the threshold of the side hall of the lobby, the woman dressed in plain clothes quickly got up from her seat, and when she saw the person clearly, she immediately knelt down on her knees:

"Two adults! You must be in charge of my master! ”

The woman's surname is Lu, and it is indeed the outer room where Chen Huiyao was raised outside after he arrived in Renzhi County, Zhusha County.

And Chen Huiyao's wife is far away in her hometown and doesn't know about the Lu family.

A few months ago, when Mrs. Chen brought her children to bring Chen Huiyao's body back to her hometown for burial, the Lu family quietly followed and sent Chen Huiyao's ashes to the outskirts of Zhusha County.

In addition, Lu Shi never appeared in front of Mrs. Chen, she knew that she was not popular with Mrs. Chen, and she also had the idea of not wanting to cause trouble.

After all, how many ladies in the main room will allow their husbands to be raised outside the outer room?

The Lu family was afraid that if he appeared, he would be beaten by the servants beside Mrs. Chen, so he only dared to follow him quietly, but he did not dare to show his face.

Speaking of the day of Chen Huiyao's death, Lu Shi sat in the chair and recalled:

"On that day, the old man was also on an errand, so he went to the house bought for the woman outside the yamen, and brought two jars of wine......

After drinking wine at dinner, Chen Huiyao was drunk and smoky, and soon rested under the service of the Lu family.

Chen Huiyao drank very well, and he didn't completely sleep to death.

Seeing that it was still early and he did not feel sleepy, Lu moved to the warm pavilion next to the bedroom to do needlework.

Yu Shi asked: "At that time, there was no maid or servant around Chen Zhixian?" ”

Lu Shi said: "No, the woman's maid followed the woman to do needlework in the warm pavilion, and the master's little servant stayed in the county mansion of the yamen, which was ordered by the lord, saying that if there was something in the yamen, the little maid could go to the woman's house in time to inform him." ”

In this way, Chen Huiyao was alone when he was killed!

Then, when it was time to fall asleep, Lu Shi told Yahuan to put away the needle and thread, and he walked to the bedroom, intending to rest.

However, when Lu Shi walked into the dormitory, when she saw Chen Huiyao, who had been killed, she first screamed, and then fainted in fright.

When I woke up, it was already a room full of officials.

Luo Gong asked: "Before that, you didn't hear the slightest movement in the warm pavilion?" ”

Lu Shi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "No, the woman and the maid didn't even hear the slightest movement before that!" ”

If there is no movement, it is unaware.

If the murderer is not a very good master, it will take another breath to kill people so silently.

Otherwise, when Chen Huiyao was facing a desperate killing machine, it would be impossible for him not to even make the slightest movement.

Yu Shi asked, "When you walked into the dormitory, did you smell anything unusual?" Like a little sweet smell? ”

Lu Shi frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"No, the woman would smell nothing but blood."

It's also possible that there is, but the heavy smell of blood overshadows the smell of breath left in the dormitory.

It is also possible that if there is no such thing as Lui said, then the time for the murderer to pour into the dormitory must have been more than a quarter of an hour.

In other words, from the time the murderer sneaked into the dormitory, killed Chen Huiyao and left, to the time when Lu Shi stepped into the dormitory and found that Chen Huiyao had been killed, the period was a quarter of an hour.

Because it takes a full quarter of an hour for the smell to completely dissipate.

So is Lu's words reliable?

Or should I say, is Lu's nose unreliable?

After listening to Yu Shi's question, Lu Shi got up and said:

"The woman's maid is waiting outside, and she should smell more reliably than the woman's sensitivity to smells!"

At that time, Lu's maid Huan entered the dormitory after Lu's, and everything she saw and heard was the same as Lu's.

But Lu Shi will deliberately say this, but because this girl's nose is very sensitive, and its sensitivity can almost compete with a dog's nose.

For this reason before, he was teased by the Lu family many times.

But it must be expected that in Chen Huiyao's case, the key to the question asked by Yushi is that Yahuan needs to answer.

Yahuan quickly entered the side hall of the lobby, and after saluting, she answered Yu Shi's question affirmatively:

"Yes!"

The smell of blood in the dormitory was very strong, because Chen Huiyao's throat was cut deeply, and blood kept gushing out, staining the bedding on the bed red.

Yahuan was bold, and after calling the frightened Lu Shi to no avail, she had the courage to look at Chen Huiyao on the bed again, and when she turned around and ran out of the dormitory to shout, she didn't notice the small sweet smell that loomed between her snorts.

When I thought about it later, I thought it was impossible.

There were no desserts in the dormitory that night, nor were there any other foods or things that could emit such a sweet smell, so Yahuan thought that she had misremembered, and she didn't even say it when she was about to make a show.

Until this was suddenly asked by Yu Shi, Yahuan thought about it carefully, and a line that she had forgotten in the depths of her mind was pulled out by her, and it was matched at once:

"Then I only thought that the slave maid remembered it wrongly, and when the adult asked, the slave and maid remembered that there was indeed a trace of sweetness in the bedroom at that time, but it was very light and light, like ...... It's like ......"

Seeing that Yahuan couldn't think of a suitable description in a short time, Yu Shi continued:

"It's like the smell of dessert that is about to dissipate when it cools to the end."

Yahuan nodded vigorously: "Yes!" That's it! ”

Yu Shi did not let Yahuan retreat, but asked Yahuan to stand aside and wait, thinking that there was something that the Lu family could not answer or needed to add, Yahuan could say something, and then turned to Luo Gong and said:

"It's another breath, it seems that in the letter to Zhang Dongsheng, I have to add this one."

Luo Gong agreed: "It's to write and ask." ”

But he actually wanted to ask Yu Shi more, why did she know so much about a breath pour, and how long the sweetness of a breath pours into the air could last, she could know it clearly?

He remembered that before this, among all the cases handled by Jinyiwei, there were only a few cases that involved a breath, and they were still cases that he handled by himself, so he had studied a breath of death, so he knew a thing or two.

And since Yu Shi entered the Jinyi Guard's yamen, he has never had the opportunity to come into contact with Yixia.

From the moment it is released to the moment it dissipates, the sweetness will indeed last for a full quarter of an hour.

There is no explanation of this in all the accounts of the fall of the breath, and even the conclusion that he would have come to this conclusion was the result of a slow groping of the cases he had handled with his own hands.

She had never been exposed to a breath before before, and it was enough to surprise him that she could so easily agree with him about the origin of the breath when he was in the sandy cypress. (To be continued.) )
