347. Chapter 346

However, it was said that Dong Ming, the official of the Zhangzhou Criminal Room, accused Jarvis of assassinating Tan Mo. |Among every two people who watch romance, there is an account registered on the website of Ke ° Le ° Xiao ° Say ° Net Jarvis was stunned: "Huh? ”

Dong Ming said: "General Jia doesn't recognize it?" ”

Jarvis said: "What do you recognize without a head? ”

Dong Mingnai made a gesture: "Offended." General Jia only showed two flaws. First, the Assassins left a black thread on the branch of the Tan Mansion, which was soaked in spices. Who soaked the clothes of the man in the green forest with spices? Either it's a weirdo, or it's just to prevent a dog from following you. When the servant's dog chased after the tailor's house, there was no trace of the assassin, and there was silk ash in the ash basin in front of the side hall, presumably burning the night clothes. If you are a strange person who loves incense, you don't need to burn it. It must be to guard against the dogs of the little officials. ”

Jarvis said: "Although what Lord Dong said is not marginal, the general will be able to understand it somewhat. ”

Dong Ming said: "The silk night clothes are willing to be burned casually, which shows that the assassin is not a poor person. If it is the relatives and friends of the tailor's family, who are willing to assassinate the prefect for them now, but refuse to help in the early years, it is obviously unreasonable. It doesn't make sense to say that the Assassins have recently made a fortune. As the saying goes, you can't get rid of poverty after three years of being rich. The poor get rich and refuse to walk at night in fine clothes, nor are they willing to be extravagant in ordinary food and clothing. Even if you are willing to make silk night clothes, you are reluctant to burn them lightly. Therefore, the little official thought about it, but was afraid that the assassin was not a friend of the tailor's family, but just used the name of their haunted family to cover up his identity. ”

Jarvis nodded, "The last general understands." ”

Dong Ming said: "Lord Tan is dead this time, and the little official can't help but suspect General Jia's command." In the past few days, the little officials have traveled all over the city's flower buildings, rouge shops and paper mills, and there are really no people in your army who go to the flower buildings. He took out the piece of paper from "S.H.I.E.L.D.", "the two paper mills and the six rouge shops all recognized that the paper and the rouge on it were from the Taiwan government." The rouge is rich and very popular with fans; The paper is excellent, it is the best paper. It's just that there are many noble soldiers, and the little officials don't know who the assassin is. Thinking back to what General Jia said a few days ago, there is still a flaw. ”

Jarvis smiled slightly: "Please speak." ”

Dong Ming said: "The assassin must be a man, and he is similar to the general. The general immediately said, but he was afraid that he had already married his daughter-in-law. Rouge is used by women, and the general's mother, sisters, and the Lin military division of your army have about it. General Jia is a thoughtful person. When an ordinary person hears of 'Rouge', he probably thinks that the Assassin has a daughter-in-law, or that he has a girlfriend in the family, or that he has a good relationship outside, how can he think that the Assassin has married a daughter-in-law? Unless the general has scruples and wants to clear himself - General Jia is not married yet. ”

Jarvis laughed: "I'm afraid that Master Dong has misunderstood." The last general has been away from home for many years, and it is difficult to see his parents and sisters, and he is used to going back and forth in the military camp. Men in the army can get rouge, only those who have already married a family. ”

When Dong Ming heard this, he became more and more suspicious that it was him. Jarvis didn't refute him at first, but the first thing to explain was not why he didn't kill Tan Mo, but "Rouge".

Jarvis sighed lightly and said, "It's not a secret, we originally planned to rest in Zhangzhou for two or three days before leaving. When he saw a man on the street that day, he became suspicious, so he stayed in your city for a few more days to find out what this person was. ”

Dong Ming asked, "Who?" ”

"Li Qizhi."

Dong Ming was stunned: "Mr. Li? ”

Jarvis said, "Didn't he change his name?" ”

Dong Ming said: "No." Does General Jia recognize him? ”

Jarvis said: "The last general had befriended Brother Li when he was studying in Beijing in his early years, and then their family got into trouble with his brother, so they faded away," he said, "Presumably, the officials of Zhangzhou did not know that Li Qizhi was the nephew of the King of Jin." ”

Dong Ming was taken aback: "King Jin's nephew? ”

"It's still the eldest man's room, and he is the most top-notch son of the Li family, and he has a great reputation in Beijing. Why didn't he go to Jin to help do things, and came to Fujian to do it? If the King of Jin wanted to seek Fujian, why didn't he send him to the side of Lord Huang, but he was in Zhangzhou? Jarvis smiled indifferently, "Let's not say that the last general has no grievances with Lord Tan, why should he be killed; If you want to kill, you can kill it on the day you enter the city, and you can also boost the military prestige and vent your anger for the people of Zhangzhou. It's just that the last general still doesn't look down on him in his eyes, and Li Qizhi is more than him. ”

Dong Ming said: "The little official knew that Mr. Li would come from a famous family, but he didn't expect that King Jin would never mention it." "Nai arched his hand," the little official was suspicious, and went to check again. ”

Jarvis smiled slightly, and also clenched his fists and said, "Lord Dong," he immediately stopped, thought for a while, and said, "There are some things that should not be said by the general, but it is appropriate for the military advisor to say it." Another day, my military advisor invited the adults to drink tea, and I hope the adults will not shirk. ”

Dong Ming's eyes moved, and he made a gesture: "I have long admired the reputation of Lin Junshi, and the little official is very lucky." ”

Jarvis also replied, turned on his horse, and led his soldiers away.

Three days later, someone sent Dong Ming a post to invite him to tea, and sure enough, it was Jia Jun's military advisor surnamed Lin. Dong Ming arrived at the teahouse according to the hour, and saw that Jarvis and a scholar dressed as a woman were already waiting, and hurriedly said: "General Jia." This one is Lin Junshi. "This Lin Junshi is just like Tan Mo said, although his beauty is unparalleled and his bearing is unparalleled, he covers his appearance.

Jia Lin and the others stood up and returned the salute, and ordered the shopkeeper to serve tea, Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Lord Dong said last time that he suspected that our General Jia was an assassin, but did you find any evidence?" ”

Dong Ming smiled bitterly: "No." General Jia is clean. ”

Jarvis said: "It's really that Master Dong is just guessing, and he wants to cheat the last one." ”

Dong Ming shook his head and said: "One flaw is enough, the little official knows that it was the general's doing." It's just that I really don't know much about the general, and I can't guess the reason; And there was no evidence to be found. Nai arched his hand, "There is no evidence horizontally, and the general is right." ”

Jarvis said: "Lord Dong, the last general and Lord Tan have never known each other, and it really has nothing to do with it. ”

Dong Ming lowered his eyebrows and looked at the tea cup and said, "Don't say it, the little official only guesses slowly." ”

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "The world is myriad, and it is difficult to just guess. I have heard it said that without investigation, there is no right to speak. Master Dong can't guess the reason, why don't we go to Taiwan Mansion together and spend a few more days with General Jia, can I guess it? ”

Dong Ming was stunned: "Lin Junshi admitted it?" ”

"Definitely." Daiyu said, "This military advisor is a hook for Master Dong and wants to lead you across the sea." A talent like Mr. Dong is exactly what the Taiwan government wants. There are such officials in Zhangzhou, and it is not easy to think of Lord Dong. Jia Lian, the prefect of Taiwan, is a hands-off shopkeeper, first, he is not greedy for money - his family is extremely wealthy, second, he does not oppress the people, and third, he does not treat his subordinates harshly; The most rare thing is that Master Jia never manages outsiders, and everyone handles what they are good at. ”

Dong Ming was slightly startled when he heard her say, "Lead you across the sea", and then his face was blank, and finally his eyes couldn't help but beat when he heard "the layman is in charge of the insider". Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Master Dong is already tempted. ”

Dong Ming lowered his eyes and said: "The military advisor is kind and the little official has a heart. The little officials don't have much ambition, just food and clothing. ”

Lin Daiyu said: "General Jia has only been in Zhangzhou on the first day, and he met all kinds of officials at the banquet, and only mentioned Master Dong when he came back. said that he looked clear, not like he was in the same stream with others. Master Dong, I only want to ask one sentence, you have been an official in Zhangzhou for many years, can you be comfortable? ”

Dong Ming looked at the two of them: "Are the two of you killing Lord Tan because of this?" ”

Daiyu said: "Master Dong think about it yourself. Today, there is a faint official pressing on the head of the talent we want to pry away; Is it better to let the unconscious official keep restraining him, or to kill the unconscious official? Master Dong must know that our army came to Fujian this time to show off its military strength and compete with Fujian for population. Therefore, half of Fujian's corrupt officials have never been touched. With Lord Tan, many of the people in Zhangzhou who can't survive will cross the sea. The Taiwanese government lacks everything, and the population is the most lacking. With population, everything is easy. ”

Dong Ming frowned. According to this, there is really no need for them to kill Tan Mo. It's just that in the past few days, he has secretly looked at all the generals in their camp, and none of their diets and behaviors are raised in the homes of rich and noble; Only Jarvis has good rules and etiquette. And I heard Li Qizhi say that he grew up in Rongguo Mansion since he was a child, and he was very favored by Jia Yu, and his father was also the most important shopkeeper of Rongguo Mansion. Except for him, who would be willing to take a silk night coat and burn it?

Daiyu said again: "As the old saying goes, freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Now that Lord Tan is dead, it is difficult for the entire Zhangzhou to change much. Although Taiwan's government is small, it can enable Mr. Dong to display his talents. And can help Master Dong to write a book and pass on the learning of adults to future generations. ”

Dong Ming's eyes widened immediately. Although they only took it back for a moment, Jarvis Lin Daiyu could see it clearly, looked at each other and smiled. Dong Ming also knew that the two of them had seen it clearly, so he was a little surprised, and said: "Since the little official has found the wrong person, how can the military advisor still look down on the little official?" ”

Daiyu said: "Lord Dong has several benefits. First, be careful; second, verification; Third, boldness. It is extremely rare to dare to suspect a person who seems to be completely impossible to commit a crime and try it. However, as a small official, Lord Dong knows little about the world, and his vision restricts his skills, which is a pity. If Mr. Dong's knowledge could have become more extensive, this case would probably not have been wrong. ”

Dong Mingnai said, "Please ask Master Lin for advice." ”

Daiyu shook her head and said, "I can't guess it at this time." Today it is falling apart, and kings are divided; S.H.I.E.L.D. is an outsider, but it does anything if it gives money. Zhangzhou is in western Fujian, near Lingnan and Taiwan. Tan Mo is a faint official. was assassinated, and at the time of the assassination, Jarvis from Taiwan Mansion was stationed in the city, and his immediate boss Huang Wengang invited General Cheng to Chengtian Mansion for tea. Many things are tangled in one place, and I can't see who can benefit after Tan Mo's death. ”

She said it generously, and Dong Ming couldn't help but suspect that he had made a mistake.

Lin Daiyu said again: "By the way, if Lord Dong is willing to come to Taiwan, there is another benefit." There is nothing that no one is left untouched. If you investigate the case, even if you find Jia Yu's head, it will not hinder. ”

Jarvis laughed, "The last general thought of another one. If Master Dong thinks that there are few interesting cases in Taiwan, and if there are any strange cases that cannot be solved in all countries in the world, he can go to investigate. ”

Dong Ming smiled bitterly: "The two of you digging the foot of the wall didn't even mention the high-ranking officials Houlu? ”

Lin Daiyu was stunned: "Do you still need to say it?" It is obvious that Rongguo Mansion is not short of money and future. ”

Jarvis hurriedly said: "Lord Dong, don't mention the money, you must be worthy of Lord Dong's talent; What is the future, the squire of the criminal department is also promising. ”

Dong Ming said: "Why is it not a book? ”

Daiyu shook her head and said: "Master Dong can't be a scholar with this temperament, just be a technician with peace of mind." ”

Dong Ming laughed for a moment, stood up and said, "The little official committee is really moving. This matter is not small, how many days can the little official think about it? ”

Daiyu hurriedly said: "This is natural. ”

Dong Ming drank the remaining half of the tea in the cup and said goodbye. Daiyu stayed in the house and waited, and Jarvis personally sent Dong Ming out of the teahouse.

After a while, he came back and asked with a smile: "Look, can this matter be done?" ”

Daiyu said: "It has become seven points." The most aggrieved thing about doing his job is that the murderer was clearly found, but because of that person's identity, he was helpless. Sooner or later, his stay in Zhangzhou will be a thorn in the side of the rest of the officials, so why bother; It's better to go to our island and take care of the messy people under my uncle. There is the support of the second brother Lian horizontally, what are you afraid of. ”

Jarvis said with a smile: "When he came, Second Brother Lian asked us to find a criminal officer for him who had some skills and had nothing to do with the Taiwan government and the capital. I don't want to meet one here, but God gave it to you, didn't you? ”

Daiyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "How could he be suspicious of you?" Horizontal and vertical. ”

Jarvis shook his head and said, "He doesn't have any other clues, just staring at the silk nightwalker." After all, it is a person from a small place, and he has less knowledge. Nai sighed, "In the early years, King Xian looked for S.H.I.E.L.D. to buy a piece of news, it was three thousand taels of silver!" He called someone to settle the bill, and led his own soldiers to escort their military advisor away.

Returning to the camp for a while, Daiyu asked, "How do you know that someone is eavesdropping?" Don't let us act for the gods. ”

Jarvis said, "I picked the teahouse." As soon as I entered, I realized that they had placed copper pipes for eavesdropping in the house—my brother was the steward of Yihongyuan, and that Yihongyuan also had it. The teahouse was opened by Tan Mo's family. Let's invite Dong Ming to tea, it's no wonder that no one eavesdropped. ”

Daiyu glanced at him again: "Why do you use silk for night clothes?" The general is so prosperous. ”

Jarvis said: "Light, easy to march." Lin Daiyu burst out laughing. The two of them looked at each other a few more times, and couldn't help but laugh for a long time.

Daiyu asked, "I've been here for a long time, what day do you think I'll leave?" ”

Jarvis said: "Wait a little longer, and see if Master Dong may understand Li Qi's detective for us." "Daiyu Wan'er.

Jarvis didn't guess wrong, today they sat in the private room and ate tea, but next door there was actually half a room of people, led by Li Qizhi, and Tan Mozhi's four sons and three sons-in-law. As the saying goes, if you want to know your heart, you should listen to what you say. The Tan family had never doubted the people of Taiwan, and the last few words of the two of them became more and more believing.

Li Qizhi sighed: "Jarvis is a gentleman. Dong Ming suspected that he was an assassin, and he actually asked Dong Ming to go to Taiwan. Nai looked at a few people in the Tan family, and smiled bitterly in his heart: What Master Lin said has already said that they are in trouble, and these people in Zhangzhou really don't like Dong Ming very much.

Sure enough, I only heard Uncle Tan say: "Since there is a person in the Taiwan government who is under Jia Amnesty's head doing nonsense, if Lord Jia Lian comes to ask for this person, it is inconvenient for us not to give it." ”

Li Qizhi opened his mouth, swallowed again, and sighed lightly. is not afraid of anyone, but anyone who finds out can be punished, and the Jin Kingdom can't.
