Volume 2 Chapter 72 Willful Once
Yin Yuxi glanced at Second Master Tan's face and continued, "I will personally investigate the mansions of officials with official positions above the fourth rank in this capital, even the Chengwang Mansion is no exception, so Second Master Tan doesn't have to insist anymore, if I make trouble with the emperor, it won't look good." ”
"Then why check our Tan Mansion first?" Second Master Tan still insisted.
"We passed next to each other from East Street, and we just came out of Master Chang's mansion." Yin Yuxi felt that what she said was a little dry, and she was really impatient.
"It's still that there is a murderer hidden in this Tan Mansion, and the two masters don't dare to let me investigate."
Speaking of this, Second Master Tan also saw that Yin Yuxi's face was slightly irritable, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "The county lord said that he was laughing, so naturally it will trouble the officials." ”
Yin Yuxi gave Yin Dong a look, and Yin Dong took the official errand away.
Second Master Tan watched the silver jade breath enter the main hall, and quickly instructed the maid to serve tea and pour water, he had also experienced the power of this silver jade breath that day, and he didn't dare to slack off today.
After greeting Yinyuxi, Second Master Tan walked out, "Big brother, don't worry, you can't find anything out of the account room." ”
"Do you think that the county lord is here to investigate the case, with such a big fanfare, the county lord is afraid that it will be towards the accounts of the prefectures." Master Tan was hanging with stones hanging in his heart, and he became more and more worried,
"Second brother, don't underestimate this silver jade breath."
Second Master Tan is a shrewd person, patted Master Tan on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I have been working in the Criminal Department for so many years, can I still turn my head in the hands of a woman." ”
Thinking of the relationship between Yin Yuxi and Tan Mufeng, he had an idea and ordered the little guy in front of him,
"You go and call Childe."
"Yes, Second Master." The little guy hurried away.
Master Tan couldn't help but raise his thumb and praised, "The second brother is really different. ”
After a while, Yindong and the official came in with three men and a woman, and Tan Mufeng followed him into the main hall, he already had a general understanding of the purpose of Yinyu's rest.
Yin Yuxi saw Tan Mufeng bowing slightly, and waved his hand to let the three men get closer first, "Open your palm and show me." ”
The men opened their palms one after another, and when they saw the county lord, a man's hand trembled slightly, and Yin Yuxi looked up along his hand, but the man trembled more and more.
Yin Yuxi couldn't help laughing, such a man was afraid that he wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, "You go down first." ”
The man stepped aside with relief.
Tan Mufeng walked over at this time, and saw that one of the men's palms was covered with traces left by red ink, and he took a closer look.
Yin Yuxi took out the handkerchief in a paper bag, which was not the same red, and asked casually, "Why do some people's palms leave red marks, and some people's palms are so clean." ”
The last man replied with a smile, "The county lord doesn't know, the bookkeeper in this capital only stamps his own seal after making the accounts, while the chief manager has to stamp three or four seals, so the marks left on his hands are heavier." ”
After a pause, he continued, "However, this is not always the case, some people have mud on their palms, which is easy to leave marks. ”
Yin Yuxi listened to this man's explanation, very seriously.
Tan Mufeng continued, "This is the head of our Tan Mansion, Tan Wen. ”
At this time, Yin Yuxi met Tan Wen's eyes, "Then have you ever killed anyone?" ”
With this question, the people around him breathed sluggishly, and their eyes looked at Tan Wen, Tan Wen shook his head, "Tan Wen will not do three things in this life, do not kill, do not drink, and do not go to brothels." ”
"Okay, you are worthy of being the head of the Tan Mansion, and you are strict with yourself." While praising Yinyuxi, his expression changed slightly,
"Then the county lord still has a question, is the account room of the Tan Mansion boring?"
Tan Wen subconsciously rubbed his nose with his fingers, "It's normal to be a little tired, after all, Tan's mansion is mainly for a living." ”
Yin Yuxi saw his movements in his eyes, knowing that he lied but he didn't lie, but she knew it well, and the important purpose now was to investigate the case.
"In that case, it's time for me to take my leave." Yin Yuxi took another sip of tea, only to feel that it was very comfortable.
Seeing this, Tan Mufeng hurriedly instructed Tan Wen, "You go to the treasury and get the best tea for the county lord." ”
Yin Yuxi waved his hand, "Gongzi Tan is polite." I can't take this tea, lest it be true. ”
Seeing this, Tan Mufeng made a request, "Then I'll send you." ”
"Okay." Yin Yuxi wanted to refuse, but she remembered that Tan Mufeng had just stopped talking, and she responded with a smile.
Outside the door of Tan's mansion, Yin Yuxi stopped at his feet and turned to look at Tan Mufeng, "I don't know what Tan Gongzi wants to say?" ”
"Are we still like this?" Tan Mufeng showed a little wry smile, and when he saw her apology, Tan Mufeng put away his wry smile and said,
"Yuxi, Lord Cheng has already sent the murderer out of the capital, it will only be in vain for you to investigate like this."
Hearing this, Yin Yuxi turned his face and nose sour, "I know, but I have to continue to investigate." As long as it is done by Cheng Wangfu, I can find clues. ”
Tan Mufeng knew that she would be able to make a smile, and he also knew that he couldn't persuade her by himself, "There will be many ministers talking about this early tomorrow morning, so you can call yourself sick at home, and they won't dare to do anything to you." ”
I didn't expect Tan Mufeng, who has always been serious, to say such scoundrel words, her heart suddenly warmed, and her bright eyes were like crescent moons, "Well, I know." ”
The two had nothing to say, so Tan Mufeng shrugged, "You go, they're all waiting." ”
Everyone walked away, and Wei Zeying came to Yin Yuxi with a curious face,
"County Lord, forgive me for gossiping, I see that Tan Gongzi is very good to you, why didn't you marry Tan Gongzi in the first place."
Yindong saw that he didn't expect this Wei Zeying to be so bold, so he wanted to push him aside, not wanting to be stopped by Yin Yuxi, "It's okay." "Turning to look at Wei Zeying,
"You kid is very interesting, but you don't know much about feelings."
Wei Zeying smiled and stopped talking.
The sun gradually moved westward, and Yin Yuxi's legs were a little tired after walking all day today, so he couldn't help but stop and said to Yindong,
"After checking the original mansion, we will go to Chengwang's mansion for a trip, if we can find any clues, everyone will disperse early."
Yindong couldn't help asking, "What if you can't find a clue?" ”
"Then go ahead and check." Since Tan Mufeng said that the murderer was sent by the prince, she didn't believe that she couldn't find out.
The original mansion, this is the former Taifu's mansion, and I am afraid that there are many students of the former Taifu coming and going here every day.
This happened to meet one, Second Master Lin walked out of the original mansion, and when he saw Yin Yuxi and his party, he was slightly shocked, and then smiled and bowed his head, without speaking, Second Master Lin got into the carriage.
Entering the original mansion, the housekeeper had already received the instructions of the original master to cooperate with the lord of Yuxi County to investigate the case. Seeing this, Yin Yuxi followed directly to the account room.
The account room of the original mansion is very simple, there is a table inside, and a row of cabinets are placed against the wall, and the cabinets are empty, I am afraid that only some account books are placed.
"The county wants to check something, and I asked Mr. Li to take out all the things."
Wei Zeying took a step forward, "Take out all your seals here." ”
Mr. Li opened the drawer under the table, took out two or three seals, and showed them to Wei Zeying, who took them out and handed them to the county lord, "Look, the county lord, there are no jade seals here." ”
"In that case, let's go." Yin Yuxi waved his hand, and then said with a smile with the butler,
"Trouble the housekeeper."
When she came to the original mansion, Yin Yuxi already knew that it would be so simple, she looked at everyone, they were all a little tired, so she ordered Yindong to lead everyone to eat some food first and rest for two quarters of an hour.
In a simple restaurant, Yin Yuxi sat with these officials, relying on everyone's tired eating for a long time, although there was nothing to gain, but she was also very pleased.
"County Lord, if you want to say that you are really a heroine among women, which young lady in this capital is not pampered, how can there be a person like you who shows up and solves the case." Wei Zeying couldn't help but praise,
"If it weren't for the mission in a while, I would definitely have a few drinks with the county lord."
Several people next to him also nodded, they all thought that the county lord was just for show, but they didn't expect to be so serious.
"It's over, but I'm not used to seeing some powerful people." There was a slight hint of anger in the silver jade breath's lofty temperament.
Wei Zeying knew that it was not suitable to discuss these things in this kind of place, so he lowered his voice, "County Lord, you don't know, our prefect has never invited us to dinner outside before, but he doesn't know how many good things he took from some petty officials and brought them home. ”
"You've seen them all?" Yin Yuxi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"That's natural, I've seen it with my own eyes, and I've even been to his house, the study is full of porcelain calligraphy and paintings, and I don't know if I understand it." Wei Zeying couldn't help but sneer sarcastically.
Yinyu kept it in mind, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch the handle.
At this moment, Shen Ruoting walked over dressed in white, grabbed Yin Yuxi's arm and pulled it out.
"Come back with me."
Yin Yuxi grabbed Shen Ruoting's hand, "What are you doing here?!" ”
Shen Ruoting glanced at the official who was sitting and watching the play, "Let's go out and talk." Pulled her out of the restaurant and into the alley around the corner,
"Yuxi, what's wrong with you? When you did this, did you think about yourself, you and Cheng Wangfu are incompatible, haven't you been bullied by them enough! ”
Looking at Shen Ruoting's red eyes, Yin Yuxi grabbed his hand and smiled at him, "I'm always bored in the mansion." ”
In the past, Yin Yuxi was always so coquettish, and he couldn't help it every time. But this time, he pursed his lips, "I heard that you have a back injury, you ...... Why don't you feel sorry for yourself anymore? ”
Yin Yuxi stretched out her hand and hugged Shen Ruoting, her tone was glutinous and soft, "Brother-in-law, I will marry to Luan Mansion in a few days, you will let me be willful again, no matter what, Luan Mansion will always find a way to protect me." ”
"Alas...... You're right. But Luan Qing is not in the capital these days, he can't take care of you after all, and I also have limited power, so I can't protect you thoroughly. Shen Ruoting's tone was more helpless.
