Chapter 209: The Business of the Ghost Yamen
Qiao An's business is still in full swing, and even the business income of this ghost yamen has far exceeded their wine business.
Emperor Jing was not very interested in the woman's bizarre death and the death of the woman's husband.
After all, the people in Ling Yuan Pavilion were so vicious that they were dead, and no one took it seriously.
Only General Cheng and Li Zhongxuan were very interested in this corpse, "This is already the most detailed information?" "Someone sent a piece of paper, and on the paper was the life equality of that person, etc., "Three months ago, this person joined the Lingyuan Pavilion ......"
"Look into what you were doing before this."
After a while, the information came.
"Master Li, this person was an honest retired soldier before."
"Okay, very good, the veterans who retreated from the court have been poached for them." Li Zhongxuan gave that piece of paper to General Cheng, is it possible that General Cheng's leading boss is by our side? I felt more and more that he was a member of the court. ”
"You and I must not answer like this in front of the emperor, after all, everything needs evidence." Li Zhongxuan patted General Cheng on the shoulder.
"Obviously, this person was killed by his acquaintance, after he died, the fear on his face, it was obvious that the most incredible thing had happened, let's simulate it......" Li Zhongxuan walked in front, General Cheng walked behind, General Cheng attacked Li Zhongxuan, Li Zhongxuan fell to the ground, everything is as simple as that.
The two of them were busy with this matter.
In the list of suspicions, it seems that everyone has the potential to be the ultimate suspect. The two of them gradually eliminated some of them, and Li Zhongxuan's hand clicked Cui Qiliang's name, "Recently, you have been staring at him well, I always feel that something is wrong with Cui Qi." ”
"Cui Qishi has been going to the court recently, as far as I know, he is a very good person, he will not have such great power." General Cheng laughed.
"You say......" Li Zhongxuan now even doubted Chen Dongye, who was already dead, "Could it be that Chen Dongye's old department has made a comeback." ”
"No, the old army is all wiped out, how can there be any people?" General Cheng reminded.
The matter was even more complicated than before, and after three or five days, there were more corpses sent to the military headquarters than before, and after further investigation by General Cheng and Li Zhongxuan, Cui Qiliang was basically ruled out.
"Someone is helping us," General Cheng muttered: "These dozen or so people have been to Yunnan before, but what exactly they are doing in Yunnan, now we have no way of knowing, it seems that someone is trying to rob you and me of my job." ”
"It's not that simple, they're afraid that we'll know the results after we investigate." Li Zhongxuan was not as optimistic as General Cheng.
General Cheng is a doer, Li Zhongxuan is a thinker, one person deploys and one person acts.
Around the time of the unitary hour, the father-in-law of the imperial court came and invited Li Zhongxuan to the imperial court.
Li Zhongxuan didn't go, he already knew that the emperor would definitely ask about Lingyuan Pavilion, and at this moment Li Zhongxuan had begun to have a headache.
Tonight there are no stars and no moon, and it looks like it's going to rain, and this weather is very hot and humid in June.
The emperor visited the garden today, and suddenly saw someone on the bright moon platform, and asked Cui Qiliang next to him: "Do you say that is really a god?" ”
"It's hard to say." The emperor summoned the two of them today, and the first to come was Cui Qiliang, who wanted to talk to Cui Qiliang about the recent things on the Mingyue Platform, Cui Qiliang looked at the Mingyue Platform, and vaguely seemed to see a group of people talking.
But I wasn't sure who it was.
The emperor also summoned another person, Li Zhongxuan, and the purpose of summoning Li Zhongxuan was just to ask how the affairs of Ling Yuan Pavilion were handled.
The two approached the bright moon platform and walked up the stairs, "I won't go, you go up and see where the sacredness is." ”
"Yes."
Cui Qiliang went up to the Mingyue Platform hard, and after coming down, his face became very strange, "Your Majesty, that's the Eight Immortals." ”
"Oh?" The emperor raised his sword eyebrows and went up to the bright moon platform again, but the bright moon platform was empty, and the emperor was more surprised than ever.
When Li Zhongxuan arrived in Zhongjing, there was a eunuch to lead the way, and the eunuch walked while turning back frequently, and Li Zhongxuan walked away in the sea of clouds and fog, a little impatient.
"What is the emperor doing?"
The eunuch told the matter on the bright moon platform, Li Zhongxuan sighed, the emperor is really stupid, how can there be immortals in the world? Li Zhongxuan didn't explain at the moment, but sneered.
"What kind of fairy do you think that's that?"
"I'm a flying immortal who fell from the sky." The two chatted nonchalantly, and when they found the emperor, the emperor was in a daze, and after Li Zhongxuan saluted, the emperor came back to his senses, with a very strange look on his face.
"What about Ling Yuan Pavilion's investigation?"
"Return to my emperor......" Li Zhongxuan said the results of his investigation, and when the emperor heard it, there were many clues, but the clues were interrupted one by one, and he was not very satisfied, "I want you to investigate quickly, don't delay." ”
"Weichen also asked the emperor to forgive and forgive a little, that person Lingyuan Pavilion is inextricably linked with the imperial court, and Weichen also needs a basis and time to distinguish the false from the true." Li Zhongxuan reflected his practical difficulties.
The emperor nodded, "I also know that I am embarrassed by you." ”
These things gave the emperor a headache, Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng a headache, and Shen Qiaoan also a headache.
Shen Qiaoan waited for information, he was sure that Yan Guo had a voice, no matter how clever a person is, there must be a clue, but after waiting for three or five days, no one sent the secret over, and Qiao An was a little secretly anxious.
In the afternoon of this day, a little girl held a bamboo basket and pretended to buy wine, and entered the intelligence department.
The little girl seemed to be very rich, but her voice was very low and low, and Joan saw that the little girl took out the silver neatly, and practice makes perfect.
After visual inspection, Shen Qiaoan concluded that the little girl came instead of someone else.
"You know the rules we have here." Joan guessed, "If you come in on behalf of the host and ask questions, you will be paid three times more than on a regular day." ”
"I know." After the little girl put the money away, she asked, "If I ask you a question, you may not be able to give an answer, but if you can't give an answer, will the money be returned?" ”
"Yes."
"Good!" The girl smiled mysteriously, "My master only asks you one question, where is Shen Qiao'an?" Is it alive or dead? ”
"These are two questions, charged separately and answered separately." Shen Qiaoan's heart was beating faster, she really couldn't imagine that one day, someone would ask herself such a question.
The person who investigated her actually came to the intelligence point.
"We're not short of money." The little girl took out two two green onion strips from the basket and put them in front of Qiao An, Shen Qiao An nodded, and wrote out a place name for the girl.
"Shen Qiao'an is here?" The girl originally thought that the other party would talk a lot about herself, but she just gave out such a piece of paper, "You don't have to coax me, how can I explain to our master when I go back like this?" ”
"Give it to your master, and she knows what to do." Shen Qiaoan got up and sorted out the information, and the girl bit her lip and thought for a long time.
"Tell Brother Luo, follow this girl." Shen Qiaoan watched the girl go, and hurriedly ordered a young man next to him, the young man stood behind him, and Luo Zhiyuan sent it down to protect Shen Qiaoan.
After all, Joan has too many people to come into contact with in a day.
Luo Zhiyuan followed the little girl, the little girl was mysterious, after coming out, he bought a dime of wine, walked east, looked west, and after a long time, he didn't enter a small alley, there was an inn in that alley, Luo Zhiyuan saw Guo Jingning here.
"How? The result? ”
"The boy gave this."
"It's the name of the place." Guo Jingning held the piece of paper and saw that she knew Shen Qiao'an's handwriting, but Qiao An had already changed another style of writing, so Guo Jingning couldn't determine anything through the paper.
took the little girl to go, but Luo Zhiyuan came back with a smile.
"What did Brother Luo find?" Joan asked.
Luo Zhiyuan smiled-"I said before that I was going to make a tomb for you, and now they really went to dig the grave." ”
"I'm just sorry for the woman in the grave, hey."
Before going to the imperial capital, Luo Zhiyuan disguised Shen Qiao'an's tomb in advance, which was nothing more than a maze array for people with hearts, so Guo Jingning and the girl really opened the tomb with a group of people.
The corpse inside was decomposed, but the corpse's clothes, headdress, height, shortness, fat and thinness were no different from Shen Qiao'an.
Guo Jingning was overjoyed, but vaguely uneasy, "You go to Li Zhongxuan to come over for identification, don't let people deceive." "For Guo Jingning, a few hundred taels of silver is a small matter, but a mistake in the status quo is a big matter.
The girl hurriedly went to the military aircraft to find Li Zhongxuan, this time Li Zhongxuan was discussing things with General Cheng, and suddenly heard that Shen Qiaoan had been found, and the two hurried to the wilderness, and they felt strange when they walked to General Cheng - "What's the matter, how can a good person be here?" ”
Guo Jingning was already impatient to wait, she thought, it was necessary for Li Zhongxuan to see Shen Qiaoan's body to believe that Shen Qiaoan was dead, this time they even brought it.
Li Zhongxuan walked here, but his heart ached faintly, and the strong bad premonition was stronger than just now, and finally, Li Zhongxuan saw the naked coffin, not far from the coffin, under the big tree, sat Guo Jingning, Guo Jingning held the Jinpa, and covered his nostrils.
The air stinked, and several of the people who came to dig the grave vomited, and the woman had begun to rot, and she looked disgusting.
"Shen Qiao'an......" General Cheng was sure that it was Shen Qiao'an from a distance, and hurriedly approached, but the body was unrecognizable, he couldn't be sure, and pulled Li Zhongxuan over to take a look.
"Brother Zhongxuan," it can be seen from Li Zhongxuan's sad mood that it is probably indeed Shen Qiao'an, Guo Jingning is very happy, but his face is very solemn and very sympathetic.
"Brother Zhongxuan, it was someone else who said that Shen Qiaoan was dead, I came to take a look, and the guard said that the subscription number opened the coffin for an autopsy, I think after all, Lord Fujun and Qiao An are also ...... So I want to move Qiao An's grave, to be honest, I actually have a good relationship with Shen Qiao An. ”
Guo Jingning said while observing Li Zhongxuan's expression.
"Let's take a look." Li Zhongxuan couldn't bear to look at Shen Qiao'an's corpse, frowning in pain, the servant next to him was used to all kinds of strange corpses, and at this moment he stepped forward and squatted on the ground to check for a long time.
"My lord, I have seen that she was buried here three months ago, and this woman has had leprosy before, so she is definitely not wrong." Speaking of this, Guo Jingning turned his head and smiled.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Shen Qiaoan?
As for General Cheng, he sighed sadly and approached the corpse, "I can't imagine seeing you again...... You've ...... Now that you and I are separated forever, it really makes me very sad. General Cheng's tears rolled down.
Li Zhongxuan asked in a deep voice: "What about age?" ”
"Twenty-two."
Li Zhongxuan approached the corpse step by step, and suddenly found that the corpse's ankle bones were black, and he was slightly stunned when he saw this, "What is the reason for that?" ”
"That's dead bones."
"It means that this girl has a lame left leg in the front, which can be understood like this, right?" Li Zhongxuan asked.
"What your lord said is very true."
