Chapter 163: Looking for Trouble

In this way, it seems that this matter has been done seamlessly.

Immediately, Rong Wan turned her head, looked at Xun Zhan on the side, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know why Uncle Guo told me about this?" ”

It stands to reason that the plan since ancient times has been that the fewer people know, the more profitable it is, why today, Xun Zhan took the initiative to talk about this, and said it so carefully, and even brought the witnesses over.

Who knew that Xun Zhan waved his hand, and the young girl left in response, leaving only the two of them in the house.

"What if I say I want to kill someone?" Xun Zhan threw down a sentence lightly, which made Rong Wan a little stunned, as if he was tricking her into the game, and he didn't ask her if she was willing to accept it.

Of course, when Xun Zhan said this, he didn't think about informing her, but he just wanted to trick her, Rong Wan saw it clearly, if she said that she killed people and killed people, she had heard too many lies from Xun Zhan, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Why does Uncle Guo make such a joke, it's better to say it directly." Rong Wan's face was expressionless, she was not surprised by that sentence, and she was still very calm.

Rong Wan's change Xun Zhan saw it in his eyes, and he didn't think so, after all, he just said it casually, and the people he met didn't take it seriously, but they were boring.

He stopped telling such jokes.

"Would you like to have a pot of tea with me?" He sat at the table and looked at Rong Wan twice, although it was a question, it could not be refused.

Rong Wan was definitely interested, so she nodded, and she agreed.

Xun Zhan clapped his hands, and the maid of the Nishang Pavilion came in and asked, "What does Uncle Guo command?" ”

"Go get a tea set for making tea."

"Yes." The servant answered, turned and walked out.

Since he asked for a tea set, he must have to make tea by himself, and sure enough, when the maid brought the tea set, Xun Zhan waved his hand and let her go down.

Then he looked at Rong Wan and said, "Do you know how to make tea?" ”

Rong Wan shook her head, "My father doesn't like to drink tea. Therefore, I did not learn to make tea. ”

Xun Zhan didn't ask any more, skillfully arranged all the tea utensils, put the tea leaves in, and lit the fire to make tea. During the period, I just waited quietly, and the fragrance of tea came out from time to time.

Rong Wan remembers that when most people make tea, they will crush the tea and add seasonings such as green onions, ginger, and salt. Rong Wan was fortunate enough to drink it once, but the original fragrance of the tea flavor in this kind of boiled tea has long disappeared.

Xun Zhan seemed to realize that Rong Wan was watching, and was moving, so he said, "When people in the dynasty often like to add various ingredients to the tea to taste, they don't know that the original fragrance of the tea is the most delicious." ”

Rong Wan strongly agrees with this, whether it is a thing or a person, it has lost its true nature, and it is always a little imperfect.

Soon. Xun Zhan put out the fire, took down the fragrant tea, poured a cup of tea, put it on the table, raised his eyes to Rong Wan and said, "Do you want to taste it?" ”

Rong Wan nodded, stood up, walked to Xun Zhan's side and sat down, waiting for the tea to cool down a little, then reached out and picked up the teacup . After taking a sip, the entrance was slightly bitter, but the aftertaste was strong, and she looked up. Surprised, "Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots." ”

Fang just spoke, but shook his head a little embarrassed.

Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots are produced in Huzhou, the taste is sweet and mellow, and it is today's tribute tea, but Xun Zhan is the uncle of the country. It's not unusual to have this kind of tea, so she has a bit of a gaffe.

Xun Zhan raised his head, "Do you know this tea?" ”

Rong Wan nodded, didn't go around the corner, and said directly, "I tasted it at my grandfather's house." ”

Luo's roots are in Suzhou, Xun Zhan also knows about this matter, so naturally there is no need to hide it, and the place where Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots produce tea is not very far from Huzhou, so with the big business of Suzhou Luo's, it is not difficult to get some Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots.

Xun Zhan didn't ask much, and drank a cup of tea by himself, as if he could be more comfortable in this Nishang Pavilion.

At the same time, in the military patrol courtyard, Dali Temple sent someone to say that Luo Jingyu was suspected of murder and wanted to take him to Dali Temple.

Maybe Luo Jingyu reassured them in advance, so when they were taken away, they were not very flustered.

When he arrived at Dali Temple, he saw Dong Cunying, the secretary of Dali Temple, sitting on the top, and Yan Geng, the servant of the Criminal Department, was standing on the side.

Luo Jingyu didn't squint, and the four guards behind him walked in.

Luo Jingyu didn't have to kneel because of his official position, but the four guards behind him were not so lucky, and they knelt on the ground together.

"Xia Guan has seen Dong Siqing."

Dong Cunying looked at Luo Jingyu under the hall, and couldn't help frowning, in fact, he knew that Yan Ren was killed, and Yan Ren was killed by the four coachmen instructed by the thirteen princes.

But Yan Geng thought that the thirteen princes couldn't be provoked, so he spread his anger on the seven-rank left patrol envoy of the Military Patrol Academy, seeing that Yan Geng was very persistent, and they had been officials in the same dynasty for so many years, so they should take care of him.

Therefore, Dong Cunying called someone to call Luo Jingyu over.

"Do you know about the death of your colleague Right Inspector Yan Ren today?" Dong Cunying looked at Luo Jingyu in the hall and asked.

Luo Jingyu replied very calmly, "It's only been an hour for Xia Guan to get this news. ”

Dong Cunying nodded, and then asked, "Then what are you doing today?" ”

The middle of the hour was the time when Yan Ren appeared in the alley at the back door of the Yanyun Building, and it had been three or four hours since this incident.

"When the subordinate arrived at the military patrol hospital this morning, he suddenly felt a lot of pain in his stomach, so he ran to the thatched house all morning, and the guards of the military patrol court can testify to this matter." Luo Jingyu continued.

Not only can they all testify, but they also secretly laughed at him for a long time, this account always has to be calculated.

Since Luo Jingyu has alibi evidence and there are witnesses, in fact, this case has nothing to do with Luo Jingyu here, Dong Cunying glanced at Yan Geng, and said in his heart, others have no braids to catch, and he can only release them.

saw Yan Geng stretch out his hand and said, "Wait a minute." Then he looked at Luo Jingyu and asked, "You have an upset stomach today, and it just so happened that my son died while patrolling, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?" ”

Luo Jingyu didn't speak, but one of the guards who stretched out his hand raised his hand weakly, "The little one has something to say." ”

Dong Cunying glanced at the guard who had finally mustered up his courage and said, "Say." ”

The guard nodded, and secretly glanced at Dong Cunying, who was sitting on the top, and Yan Geng on the side, and then spoke slightly. "Actually, today's left patrol envoy has a stomachache because the right patrol envoy ordered the small one to pour into the left patrol's tea, laxative."

After speaking, the guard hurriedly lowered his head. lest someone be angry with him.

The most excited must be Yan Geng, he naturally can't tolerate anyone to say bad things about his sister-in-law, not to mention that this is particularly unfavorable to his situation, so he reprimanded Fang Cai's guard, "My son treats you well." How did you be ungrateful, and even bite him back after his death. ”

The guard was suddenly reprimanded, and he was even more panicked, saying that Ha was also a little incoherent, "What the little one said is true, otherwise, you can bring Boss Song from Lotus Street over to ask, but the little one bought laxatives from the pharmacy this morning." ”

Yan Geng snorted coldly and looked at the guard contemptuously, "How can you prove that you are not in the same group as Luo Jingyu?" What if Luo Jingyu just bought laxatives to hide people's eyes? ”

The guard was so impressed by the stern reversal of black and white that he was about to cry. But no matter how you say it, it will only be said that the right patrol envoy asked him to buy laxatives, and after that, he didn't even say anything else.

When the other three guards saw him like this, they were also afraid of being punished, so one of them immediately said, "When the right patrol envoy took the little one to Yanyun Tower today, he proudly said that the left patrol envoy could be planted in the palm of his hand this time. ”

"Moreover, the right patrol envoy has always been bad to the left patrol envoy, and the left patrol envoy has to do the hard work. Who knew that this time I went to Yanyun Tower, but I rushed to go. ”

As soon as he arrived at the Yanyun Tower, the right patrol envoy said that he was tired and wanted to rest for a while, waiting for the little ones to come back. The right patrol envoy was gone, and after the little ones looked for half an hour, they saw the right patrol envoy who had already been blurred in the inconspicuous back alley of Yanyun Tower. ”

"Spare your life, the little ones know so much."

When he said this, Dong Cunying laughed a little secretly, but he didn't think about it. It is also very strange that I wanted to find the murderer, but I became the target of a crusade.

Yan Geng saw that their expressions were becoming more and more ruthless, but he no longer paid attention to them, and looked directly at Dong Cunying and said, "Dong Siqing, how about they are not very old, please allow the lower officials to take a few of them to the Criminal Department for questioning?" ”

The Criminal Department is equivalent to Yan Geng's territory, and it basically belongs to the scope of doing what you want, if you hand them over to Yan Geng, I am afraid that it will only take two days, and they will all confess.

Luo Jingyu was also thinking that if he got into the prison of the Criminal Department like this, his bitter plan would come to an end, maybe grass should grow on the grave every year, so he definitely didn't want to go to the prison of the Criminal Department.

Luo Jingyu looked up at Dong Cunying, after all, it was Dong Cunying who was in charge in Dali Temple, "Xia Guan admits that he has not done anything to be sorry for the right patrol envoy, and Yan Shilang has no evidence to convict, it should be inappropriate to bring Xia Guan to the prison of the Criminal Department!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and seemed to glance at Yan Geng, and then said, "The prison of the Criminal Department is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, everyone knows it, and after arriving, no one knows whether it is signed and detained, or forced to confess, and the lower officials feel very wronged when they think about it." ”

The guards behind him shrank aside, and occasionally whispered, "Most of the prisons in the Criminal Department are unjustly killed, and the small ones don't go." ”

Most of the interrogations of the Criminal Department were completed by Yan Geng, and when they said this, it seemed that Yan Geng's questions were all tortured to extract confessions, and others could not resist them, so they could only confess.

Dong Cunying was also a little embarrassed, looked at Yan Geng and said, "Yan Shilang, there is no evidence to prove that Yan Ren was killed by him, so it is not suitable to be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department!" ”

Dong Cunying is a clean official, and he can't do anything that abuses people's lives.

Yan Ren refused to give in, but the two sides were at a stalemate.

No one spoke in the lobby, and a guard came in from outside to Dong Cunying, "Meng Sheng, the servant of the ministry, asked to see him, saying that he was coming to check some files." ”

Dong Cunying only felt that the savior was coming, and suddenly felt relaxed, and said directly to the guard, "Please come in." ”

Meng Sheng is a celebrity around the saint today, if it weren't for the fact that the life of the six princesses was not big enough, I am afraid that Meng Sheng would have become a colt at this moment, and Dong Cunying did not become friends with Meng Sheng because of this matter, but most of the two agreed with each other, and they could be cited as confidants.

Meng Sheng walked from outside the hall, and when he saw a few people in the hall, he couldn't help but pause, but after a moment, he returned to normal and looked at Dong Cunying arching his fist, "The lower official is disturbing Dong Siqing's case?" ”

Then Meng Sheng glanced at Yan Geng, because he was at the same level as Yan Geng, but he just said hello, and then looked at Dong Cunying again.

Dong Cunying shook his head with a little cry and laughter, "No, this case is about to be tried." ”

Meng Sheng nodded, swept over Luo Jingyu in the hall and said, "Isn't this Brother Luo?" But what happened? ”

Luo Jingyu glanced at Dong Cunying, and then looked at Meng Shengdao, "Today, the right patrol envoy of the Military Patrol Institute died tragically in the back door alley of Yanyun Tower, Yan Shilang suspected that the lower officials had something to do with this matter, so he went to Dali Temple to report the case. ”

After hearing this, Meng Sheng turned his head and looked at Dong Cunying and said, "The right patrol envoy of the Military Patrol Academy?" The one who stopped the Thirteen Princes in person? Didn't you say that you were ordered to be killed by the thirteen princes in anger? What does it have to do with these people? ”

Dong Cunying is embarrassed, he is a Dali Siqing, and he can't solve a small case, which will damage his prestige, so Dong Cunying glanced at Yan Geng, for example, he was a little colder, "After verification, the left patrol envoy of the Military Patrol Yuan is not guilty and can go back." ”

When Luo Jingyu heard this, he glanced at the guards behind him, and the guards bowed their heads and got up in turn, standing aside respectfully, and they didn't dare to come out.

Yan Geng heard this, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, but this matter was punctured by Meng Sheng, but he was not good at what to say, for the thirteen princes, he naturally hated, but their status was very different, and it was impossible to win.

And his sister-in-law died, and the pain in his heart was even more, and he was full of resentment and urgently needed to pull a person to support his son-in-law, so he aimed at Luo Jingyu, the left patrol envoy of the Military Patrol Academy.

But who knew that Luo Jingyu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and refuted what he said one by one, which put him in a passive position now.

Yan Geng turned his head and looked at Dong Cunying, and wanted to say something, but he heard Dong Cunying open his mouth first, "Yan Shilang, as an official of the imperial court, should have his duty, and it is not right to slander others out of thin air." ”

Yan Geng froze, and if he had just said something, he didn't know what to say.

It was Meng Sheng who said to Luo Jingyu, "Brother Luo will wait for me for a while, I have something to do with Brother Luo." ”

Luo Jingyu was stunned and agreed.

Then he said to the guards behind him, "Go back first!" ”

The four guards, who were still nervous and weak, heard that they could go back, so they swept away the gloom of Fang Cai, and after saluting, they immediately went out of the door of Dali Temple.

And Yan Geng, naturally, was angry, flicked his sleeves, and also strode away.

Meng Sheng found a few files with the assistance of Dong Cunying, and by the time the files were finished, half an hour had passed.

Meng Sheng thanked Dong Cunying, and then walked out of the door of Dali Temple with Luo Jingyu. (To be continued.) )
