Yizhou County Yamen is a small Yamen, the entire Yizhou boundary, there are political envoys, commanders, and thorn history, even the Yamen of the Weaving Mansion is bigger than it. In addition to Pei Shaoqing, there are a total of twenty-four people in the entire yamen, plus the cook.

At this time, the yamen was surrounded by the garrison. Cheng Shaoqing moved a Taishi chair and sat at the gate, and the twenty-four servants behind him were lined up, and the uneven weapons in his hands were particularly shabby compared with the one-word spears of the garrison.

Zheng Dabao stood at the front of the garrison, next to Jiang Tianbai, who had a gloomy face.

An hour and a half ago, the soldiers of the Jiang Mansion blocked the entrance of the yamen and forced Cheng Shaoqing to hand over the murderer.

When Cui He died, Jiang Tianbai was not in the mansion, and after getting the news the next day, he immediately brought people to the yamen to ask for people.

Cheng Shaoqing had no one to hand over, and the two sides were in a stalemate outside the gate for almost an hour, and Cheng Shaoqing's golden knife stunned the three government soldiers.

When Zheng Dabaolai came with the garrison, he saw Cheng Shaoqing sitting boldly at the entrance of the yamen, and he almost didn't lose his teeth.

How is such a living ancestor here?

"Yo, isn't this Lord Zheng? Didn't you do a good job of being your assassin in the Assassin's Mansion? Why did you get here? Cheng Shaoqing looked at Zheng Dabao with a smile, and slowly took out a blue booklet from his arms.

Zheng Dabao's face turned black in an instant, and he pointed at Cheng Shaoqing and said angrily: "Cheng Shaoqing, are you talking to Shangfeng?" If you are not afraid, you will not be afraid ......"

Cheng Shaoqing was happy, opened the blue booklet suddenly, pinched a corner and tore off a page with a "hiss", then crumpled it into a ball and threw it at Zheng Dabao: "What are you afraid of?" ”

The paper ball seemed to have eyes, and smashed it against Zheng Dabao's head.

"Your Excellency." Jiang Tianbai hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch the paper ball, and just wanted to throw it away, Zheng Dabao on the side suddenly shouted: "Don't move." "Snatched the paper ball.

Zheng Dabao glanced at Cheng Shaoqing, then looked down at the paper ball in his hand, and a chill instantly rushed from his backbone to his scalp.

He pinched the paper ball tightly, looked at Cheng Shaoqing with a cold gaze, and squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "Cheng Shaoqing, what do you want to do?" Did you know that it is a crime to let the murderer go without permission? ”

Cheng Shaoqing snorted: "There is no evidence to prove that the murderer is Pei Lingxian, Zheng Dabao, even if you want to use him as a scapegoat, you are too anxious to sleep at night!" ”

"My lord, ...... you" The master secretly wiped a cold sweat, always feeling that after being a master for so many years, his reputation for a lifetime was likely to be lost by this county master who had just been in office for two days.

Cheng Shaoqing glared back at him, raised his hand and continued to tear up the blue booklet.

The paper balls were thrown at Zheng Dabao's feet one by one, Zheng Dabao grabbed his subordinates who came over, and glared at Cheng Shaoqing through gritted teeth: "You, what do you want?" ”

Cheng Shaoqing stopped tearing the paper, and suddenly smiled: "Three days, three days can't solve the case, you just put Pei Ling to light the sky lantern first, and you don't care about me." ”

Zheng Dabao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, carefully picked up all the paper balls on the ground, and tightened his sleeve pockets.

"How? Is it a good deal" Cheng Shaoqing raised the blue book in his hand at him, "If you like it, Lord Zheng, why don't I give you this account book?" ”

As soon as the two big characters of 'account book' came out, there was silence for a moment, Zheng Dabao rushed to Cheng Shaoqing with a blue face, "Cheng Shaoqing, don't you have to inch in, I don't believe it, you don't even ...... your Cheng family."

Cheng Shaoqing sneered, raised his fan-like hand and slapped it heavily on Zheng Dabao's shoulder: "Zheng Dabao, you are wrong. Does this have anything to do with the Cheng family? ”

Zheng Dabao was slightly stunned, Cheng Shaoqing raised his hand to help him straighten his clothes, and said coolly: "Do you know how many generations the Cheng family has been rich?" ”

Zheng Dabao didn't know, but he felt a coolness coming out of his bones. Cheng Shaoqing represents the Cheng family, the richest man in Dasheng, the Cheng family.

Cheng Shaoqing stretched out five fingers: "Five generations, during which there have been three dynasties and six emperors."

"I don't know if you've ever heard of a phrase." Cheng Shaoqing lowered his head, and gently rubbed the handle of the golden knife with his right hand, "The old man said, the family of iron beating, the emperor of flowing water." ”

In the alley opposite the county government, Meng Heyu looked at Cheng Shaoqing, who was arrogant and domineering in the crowd, with a surprised expression, and couldn't help but ask Pei Lingxian next to him: "What is a booklet in his hand?" Why do I think that fat man is extremely jealous of it, "Even if she is not from Dasheng, she has heard a lot of things about Dasheng from her mother, Zheng Dabao's dignified Yizhou assassin history was turned around by Cheng Shaoqing, a county official who had just been in office for two days, which is strange."

Pei Ling first put his hands in his sleeves and said lightly: "Evidence that Zheng Dabao accepted bribes." ”

Meng Heyu's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at him incredulously: "Since you have the account book of his bribery, why don't you just move it to him?" ”

Pei Ling frowned at her first.

"What do you think I'm doing? Is there something wrong? She touched her face suspiciously, but she didn't think there were any flowers!

"Do you think it's so easy to bring down a five-grade thorn history? What's more, I don't know how many interests are implicated behind him, even the Cheng family itself may not be clean. Pei Ling said lightly, her tone full of disdain.

Meng Heyu pursed her lips and said with some disgust: "You Dasheng people are ink, and you like to look ahead and backward when doing things." ”

"Plan and then act, in order to get twice the result with half the effort." Pei Ling turned around and walked into the alley first.

"Not going to find Cheng Shaoqing?" Meng Heyu chased after him.

Pei Ling raised her eyebrows first: "No need, with him dragging Zheng Dabao, let's go directly to the prison to see Cai Wei." ”

"That's right." Meng Heyu suddenly stopped and grabbed the hem of his sleeve, "You haven't told me yet, what did you say to Jin Xiuyan in Jinlin Xiufang?" ”

Pei Ling first withdrew the hem of her sleeve, took out a piece of yellow plum paper letterhead from her sleeve pocket and handed it to her.

Meng He took the letterhead suspiciously, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't expect Cui He and Jin Xiuyan to have such a deep grudge.

Cui He's real name is Lin He, he was a refugee fleeing from the northwest in his early years, and later settled in Suzhou and sold himself to the Lin family in Suzhou as a maid. The Lin family is quite famous in Suzhou, and has been running a show for several generations, and some of the embroidery skills passed down from their ancestors can be described as ingenious. In the middle of last year, the birthday of the Empress Dowager Shenwu, the Lin family through the Ministry of Rites presented the Tibetan embroidery hundred longevity skills shocked the four, for a time the limelight is unique, the whole Kyoto set off a Tibetan embroidery wind, but all the Tibetan embroidery from the Lin family Xiufang are worth 100 gold.

However, the Lin family, which had a prosperous dispute, was destroyed by a fire. The 12 members of the Lin family, except for Lin Qinshuang, all died in the fire.

At that time, it was Sima Zhang Heguang of Suzhou who was in charge of the case, but because the fire was seriously burned, a lot of evidence was burned, and the murderer has not been found so far. After the fire, Lin Qinshuang mysteriously disappeared, and Zhang Heguang interrogated the surviving maid Lin He. Lin He has been following Lin Qinshuang after being sold into the Lin family, before the Lin family's accident, Lin Qinshuang fell in love with a poor scholar, and the two were opposed by the Lin family's parents, and let the scholar be beaten.

Lin Qinshuang once threatened to hate Lin's father in full view, and clamored to go to the government to eliminate the household registration, which was known to the entire Suzhou.

After the accident, the scholar and Lin Qinshuang disappeared in Suzhou almost at the same time.

Because there is no conclusive evidence to confirm that Lin Qinshuang and the scholar set the fire, the case has been unsolved.

After the distant relatives of the Lin family dealt with the affairs of the Lin family, many of the slaves were dismissed, and Lin He also left Suzhou.

Seeing this, Meng Heyu automatically made up a 'love swan song' in her brain, and couldn't help sighing: "This Miss Lin Qin Shuanglin is really a wonderful person." But what does this Lin He have to do with it? ”

Pei Ling first took back the letterhead and folded it, and said lightly: "Lin He met a mountain bandit on the way out of Suzhou, and was saved by Jiang Tianbai, who went to Suzhou on business, and then came to Yizhou with Jiang Tianbai and became Jiang Tianbai's concubine. ”

"Heroes save beauty! Just how do you know that? Meng Heyu thought of the man in black she saw at the door of the Spring Pavilion not long ago, could it be him?

Pei Ling repaired the letterhead first: "Five days ago, Cui He asked Cai Wei to come to the 'photo gallery' to find me, and asked me to help their wife check whether the ghosts and gods in the mansion are related to Jin Xiuyan. ”

Meng Heyu was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Jin Xiuyan?" ”

"Kim so-yeon will hide embroidery. This technique is the ancestral secret method of the Lin family, and outsiders will not teach it easily. She suspected that Kim so-yeon was pretending to be a ghost to scare her, but she didn't know whether Kim so-yeon was Lin Qinshuang or not. ”

"So you have already asked people to check Kim so-yeon and Choi He? And that Mrs. Wang, have you also checked? "This set, one ring after another, is simply dazzling.

Pei Ling nodded first: "Yes." ”

"Then Jin Xiuyan is Lin Qinshuang? She suspected that the person who set the fire was Lin He, so she came to Lin He, no, it was already Cui He. However, if Kim so-yeon is really Lin Qinshuang, then this matter is clear. Lin Qinshuang suspected that Cui He was the murderer of the arson, but she had no evidence, so she bought Wang Fu to pretend to be a ghost in the embroidery room to scare Cui He, wanting to find out the truth. However, Cui He found that someone pretended to be a ghost and returned herself, but she couldn't find out who it was, so she asked you to help catch this 'ghost', but she didn't expect that the 'ghost' hadn't appeared yet, but she herself died first. ”

Pei Ling was not shocked at first, and let out a "hmm".

But there was one thing she couldn't figure out: "So that's what you told you about Kim so-yeon?" She admits that she is Lin Qinshuang? If Kim so-yeon really admits it, wouldn't she be the most suspicious? ”

She has both a motive to kill and an act of pretending to be a ghost, how would she admit it so happily?

seemed to see her suspicions, Pei Lingxian said patiently: "She didn't have the time to commit the crime, and she had been in Jinlin Xiufang at the time of the crime." "So far, many clues have pointed to Kim so-yeon, and she also has an absolute motive to kill, but all clues have been cut off here. The Jiang Mansion is tightly guarded, if the murderer is an outsider, it is impossible for him to leave no traces at all, if it is not an outsider, who will it be?

Pei Ling first looked up at the foggy sky, and the dark and heavy dark clouds pressed down, as if the next moment, heavy rain would pour down.

He glanced back at Meng Heyu, only to find that she was already a few positions behind him, and she was competing with the skirt on her body.

The loose skirt is like a blooming flower, worn on her body, making her whole person more and more delicate and bright.

"It's a bad garment." Meng Heyu ran over with her skirt and looked up at him with a sullen look, "If I run away with it all the way from Watt, I'm afraid the city gate of Yizhou won't be touched." ”

She lifted her chin slightly, and her crimson lips were like begonias after a drizzle in spring, with a vibrant beauty.

Pei Ling hurriedly retracted his gaze first, tightened his hand in his sleeve, and said lightly; "It's going to rain."
