Something happened to the Ministry of Rites?

Liansheng's whole person became nervous, because Fangsheng was in the Ministry of Rites.

"What? Something happened to the Ministry of Rites? Xiao Zihui reacted quite quickly, shouting loudly, and everyone at the door heard it.

"A young head of the Ministry of Rites, in the backyard, died......"

Seeing that so many officials and masters had gathered at the door, the messenger lowered his voice and said.

"Who's in charge?" Xiao Shu was startled and grabbed the poor man. The head of this Ministry of Rites is basically his same age, and his concern is beyond words.

"It's Fang Yunsheng, Fang is in charge."

"Oh my God, it's Brother Fang." Xiao Shu took a step back in a daze: "How can this be?" How did he die? ”

Seeing that his eyes were straight, the messenger hurriedly stepped forward and stroked his chest and said, "Master Xiao, you want to open a little, there is a shortage of people and clouds, and there are good and bad people, no one wants this." ”

"How did Brother Fang die?"

Xiao Shu almost shouted hoarsely.

It seems that this young man Sven has really been hit hard, his eyes are red, and the whole person is in a very bad state.

"That's it...... I just don't know how to die, and the adults came to Dali Temple to report the case. The messenger sneered and looked at Liansheng. He knew that there was the only female adult in this Dali Temple, who judged the case like a god, and instantly felt like a life-saving straw: "My lord, you must be the female adult, the punishment of the adult, great, please go to the Ministry of Rites with the little one to check it out." ”

Liansheng looked at Sun Zhengqing in embarrassment, and excused himself: "This official is just a sentence from Dali Temple, and everything depends on Lord Zhengqing's orders, you are a poor person." How can you be so unreasonable. ”

"Ha, since the officials of the Ministry of Rites are all familiar with Gu Ti's name, if you are not allowed to investigate the case to the point that it seems that I am stingy in Dali Temple, I will hand over this case to Gu Tixing." Sun Zhengqing saw Xiao Hou sending the plaque, and his heart was sour for a while, but he could find an opportunity to vent.

"Gu Tixing's younger brother is also in the Ministry of Rites, by the way, Gu Tixing is still Gu Shangshu's palm beads, isn't this just right, hehe. What's it called? Every miller draws water to his own mill? Ah, no, no, look at my brain. Fu Shaoqing was yin and yang on the side.

Lian Sheng smiled: "The adult's brain is a little unrefreshing. ”

Fu Shaoqing was choked by her and couldn't get up. But seeing Lian Sheng, he turned to Sun Zhengqing again and said, "Thank you Lord Sun for giving the next official a chance." The younger brother of the lower official is in the Ministry of Rites. Xia Guan will hear that something has happened to the Ministry of Rites, and his heart is really anxious. ”

"Then let's go quickly, don't let the Ministry of Rites wait."

Sun Zhengqing saw Lian Sheng hand over the ladder. just climbed up the pole, Xiao Zihui was still there and nodded vigorously: "Those who can work hard, Gu Ti will definitely be able to find out the real culprit." ”

Xiao Shu stopped the conversation on the side and said, "Then please ask Gu Tixing to get into the carriage, let's go over together, Brother Fang and I are the same year, so we should go to see off the last ride." ”

Fang Yunsheng, the head of the Ministry of Rites, died in the single dormitory in the backyard of the Ministry of Rites, and Ah San, the handyman who found the corpse, was shocked and told Liansheng about the terrible experience in the morning.

It turned out that in order to arrange some young single officials, the Ministry of Rites repaired a courtyard behind it and used it as a dormitory for officials to live in for free, and they only needed to pay some food expenses, after all, there were many poor children among these young officials, and it was not easy to live alone in a rented house in the capital. Lian Sheng entered this courtyard, and couldn't help but secretly praise Gu Shangshu for being accustomed to buying people's hearts, no wonder he could become the leader of the Qing School, and he put a lot of effort into how to win the support of scholars.

"The small one has to clean up the house after the adults get up every day, and after cleaning up the rooms of other adults in the morning, he came to the door of the head of Fang but couldn't open the door, the small one shouted a few times, and the director didn't agree, and he began to ponder, could it be that the director Fang didn't wake up for a while after drinking yesterday, and then thought about it wrong, the director Fang is the most cautious, how could he not wake up at this time, so he shouted a few times in front of the window, but there was no movement, the small one panicked, knocked on the door and went in, and saw the head of Fang leaning on the head of the bed, and his body was stiff."

When the handyman said this, he couldn't help trembling: "That's really terrifying, it turns out that it's true that the face of the person is bruised and swollen when he dies, and he almost can't recognize who it is, how did this person who was so good last night suddenly die." ”

"What did you find?"

Liansheng asked the work of Dali Temple.

"My lord, the deceased must have died around last night. The deceased's skin was bruised, his face was obviously swollen around the eyes, and there was vomit at the head of the bed, which was initially suspected to be poisoning, and what kind of poison it was, and the body and evidence needed to be brought back for examination. The servant pointed to the snack plate on the table.

Rensheng also saw something on Zhuo. A plate, there is a puff pastry with a red dot on it, next to it is a teapot, and there is still tea left in the cup, it seems that Director Fang ate a snack and drank tea last night. Liansheng broke open the dim sum and found that it was red bean paste.

"These are all things that Director Fang ate last night?" Liansheng pointed to the dim sum on the table and asked the handyman.

"Yes, the kitchen made a snack last night. Adults don't know, we have a good meal here, Lord Shangshu said that you adults have to read books until late at night, always order the kitchen to prepare snacks, see who is hungry at night can go and get it casually, every month in the meal, there is not much money. This is our Ministry of Rites' compassion for adults. ”

"Okay, let's get to the point, don't be verbose."

Xu knew that Liansheng was Shangshu's daughter, and the miscellaneous servant couldn't stop praising Shangshu on the side.

"Hehe, it's a small nag, don't blame adults. Last night's snack, several adults ate it, such as Lord Li who lived in that room. ”

"Brother Li and Brother Fang, we are both the same year. Brother Li is actually going to be released next month, and now he is partnering with us in the Ministry of Rites, and Master Shangshu sympathizes with young officials, and allows some officials who have nowhere to live in the capital to live here. ”

Xiao Shu explained on the side.

"Yes, yes, Master Li also ate this dim sum too."

The handyman nodded busily.

"Ah San, do you remember that last night's snacks were all stuffing?"

"This ......"

The handyman rubbed his hands together, lowered his head, and looked at his feet in embarrassment.

"If you have something to say, what are you a man twisting." Liansheng saw that this miscellaneous servant had something to hide in his heart, so he urged.

"Hehe, my lord, in fact, I ate some in the kitchen last night, and I ask you to keep this secret. The one for Master Fang was red bean paste, but not for Master Li, because there were not many pieces of red bean paste, and the small ones were not willing to taste it. ”

"That means there's more than one filling for a snack."

"Yes, Lord Fang likes to eat red bean paste, so he specially instructed the little one to take red bean snacks."

"How did Director Fang know that the kitchen made a snack with red bean paste?"

"Yesterday, those red beans were soaked in the kitchen, everyone watched, and when they thought about it, they knew how to make red bean snacks, but then the dead cat in the kitchen went crazy, and touched the pot of soaked red beans to the ground, and many beans fell into the swill bucket, and there was not much left, so the director Fang told the little one to go to the kitchen early to get red bean snacks."

I see. Lian Sheng said in his heart, fortunately, you didn't dare to eat it secretly when you saw the red bean paste, otherwise it would be estimated that you would be dead.

Liansheng pointed to the broken dim sum and looked at the snack: "I'm tired of checking this snack." ”

"My lord, but this snack is poisoned?"

Xiao Shu stood aside and asked. Hearing this, the handyman's face turned pale, and his lips trembled: "No, the dim sum is poisonous......"

"It's not necessarily dim sum, it's probably red beans." Lian Sheng looked at the corpse of Master Fang and said slowly: "I soaked a pot of red beans, and then there was not much left, this red bean paste snack is really rare, it seems that the person who poisoned him is still compassionate, and the target is only Director Fang." This is still a murderer with a conscience. ”

Everyone's eyes were on the broken dim sum on the table, the dark red red bean paste, wrapped in a crispy skin, looked delicious. (To be continued......)
