Chapter 23 Road Construction Case (7)
In the middle of the full moon night, Shi put on a cloak for Li Jin and persuaded: "Son, it's time to rest." β
Li Jin put down the article full of annotations in his hand: "What do you think of Mingyuan Hou?" Can you be considered a good person? β
The stone thought about Ming Yuanhou, shook his head and said:
"Marquis Mingyuan can be literate and martial, but he has a tense face every day, and it looks too scary!"
Knowing that the stone was intentionally amusing him, Li Jin couldn't help laughing, he was confused.
In the court, Song Yiyao reported all the things that were temporarily found, and Tang Shaolongyan was furious and ordered a search at the same time.
No one would have thought that a murder case would involve corruption and bribery by lying about prices, and for a time, almost everyone in the Ministry of Industry was in danger.
Shi Ziyan was even more angry, and scolded the left and right waiters outside the court.
"Lord Song stays!"
The fifth prince walked a few steps quickly and stopped Song Yiyao.
Song Yiyao turned around in surprise and asked:
"Your Highness has something?"
The fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down, and laughed in a low voice:
"I want to invite adults to talk about it, I happen to know something about this case, maybe I can help Lord Song."
Song Yiyao looked at the moody, all by heart, good looks, and lacking in character of the fifth prince, nodded and agreed.
In the restaurant, the shopkeeper poured tea for the two of them and retreated quietly.
"Lord Song has solved major cases in less than half a month, has been meticulously observed, honest and selfless, honest and clear, far-sighted, dedicated to the country and the people, and has such achievements at a young age, which can be called a model for my generation. O example to the people! β
Song Yiyao nodded with the tea bowl in his hand, listening to the praise of the five princes calmly, not modest at all.
Her demeanor made the five princes unable to boast. His eyes drifted to the tea bowl held by Song Yiyao, and said:
"This silver needle tea is new this year, with a fragrant and long aftertaste, do you like it?"
Seeing that the five princes no longer boasted about themselves, and changed some of them, Song Yiyao put down the tea bowl with some regret and asked:
"It's okay, I don't know what His Highness knows about this case?"
The fifth prince's smile deepened and he pushed over a piece of paper.
"When they first discovered the tunnel, they reported it, but it was hidden. Isn't Lord Song curious, who does this tunnel have anything to do with? β
Song Yiyao glanced at it and found that it was the news reported by the road builders at that time. In other words, the news was indeed stopped.
She already had a certain number in her heart, but she still followed the words of the fifth prince and asked:
"The Fifth Prince knows?"
The fifth prince played with the folding fan, looked at the restaurant, sighed in surprise, and said:
"Well, I don't know, but I'm curious. So I sent it to Lord Song. β
Song Yiyao looked at it curiously and asked:
"Someone downstairs is waiting for His Highness?"
The fifth prince shook his head and pointed at Song Yiyao:
"I'm not waiting for me, I'm looking for you."
Song Yiyao chuckled, not believing his words. Looking downstairs, I only had time to see a corner of a brocade robe. didn't see who that person was, Song Yiyao retracted the target with some disappointment.
The Fifth Prince suddenly asked:
"I heard that Ling Yi went to find Lord Song?"
Didn't you tell it? Song Yiyao slandered in his heart. also pretended not to know anything:
"Your Highness knows Wei Lingyi?"
"Ling Yi is stupid, so he must not be able to hide it from Lord Song. But why didn't Lord Song let him follow? β
The fifth prince looked at Song Yiyao's expression with great interest and admitted directly.
Song Yiyao meant something:
"Qin Tianjian's errand is very good, if he enters the Criminal Department, he will inevitably be frightened."
Regarding the matter of the five princes and this guest, Song Yiyao heard a little about it, and casually tried it.
But he didn't expect the fifth prince to smile, pick up the teacup, and acquiesce.
There was a knock on the door, and a few words were whispered by one of the guards. The Fifth Prince commanded:
"Please come in."
Song Yiyao was curious about who it was, so he saw a personable noble son holding the golden group and calmly stepping into the house.
If you ignore his visibly scratched hairstyle.
"Meow~" Jin Tuan gathered momentum and rushed into Song Yiyao's arms at once.
Jin Tuan misses his master, but he doesn't take Jin Tuan to find his master. He also threatened the Jin Tuan, not to let the Jin Tuan speak, and to learn the cat bark in the Jin Tuan, he is a bad person!
was ordered not to be exposed in front of outsiders, otherwise he would be arrested and boiled, Jin Tuan could only complain in his heart, and complained coquettishly.
The two people who heard it at the same time had different expressions. Looking at Tang Jingruo's embarrassed appearance, Song Yiyao took care of his face and forcibly held back the corners of his mouth. It's just that the smile in his eyes can't be hidden.
You're still wronged! I also know the complaint, why don't you talk about the good things you did! Tang Jingruo glared at Jin Tuan, and he had the posture of catching it back and beating him up.
It was so terrifying that it almost condensed into substance. Feeling the chill of killing the beast, Jin Tuan drilled into Song Yiyao's arms even harder.
Song Yiyao rubbed Jin Tuan's head and asked:
"Why are you here?"
It's not because of you and the thing in your arms, Tang Jingruo first complained with his eyes, and then asked with a cold face:
"If you don't go back to the Criminal Department, what are you doing here?"
Without waiting for Song Yiyao to explain, the fifth prince said:
"I had something to say to Lord Song, intercepted the person halfway, and forgot to inform the little marquis."
Why did the little marquis hold a milk cat, it looked like Song Yiyao's cat, he looked at the two of them back and forth, the more he thought about it, the more far-reaching he became, and his smile was narrow and funny.
It's a pity that neither of them understood his jokes and reverie. Otherwise, he would have gained two dark circles.
"Is it over?"
The fifth prince obviously didn't expect him to play cards according to the routine, and nodded solemnly: "It's over." β
"Let's go, then."
By the time the fifth prince reacted, the person had already been pulled away.
In the carriage, Song Yiyao placed the gold ball on the edge of the soft collapse and let it think about it.
What's wrong with people? Jin Tuan turned around on his own, not realizing what he had done wrong.
Song Yiyao pointed to Tang Jingruo's hair and the slight scratches on his face and hands. "Is it wrong?"
Jin Tuan looked at his master sadly and turned back silently.
She patted Tang Jingruo and motioned for him to turn sideways, and reached out to take off the white jade crown on his head. According to what she knows about Tang Jingruo on weekdays, he is definitely not a person who will have messy hair.
But there must be only one reason why he hasn't cleaned up yet, and that is that he won't tie his own hair.
The satin-like black hair fell out all of a sudden, and Tang Jingruo turned his head in surprise, his eyes widening unconsciously, both flustered and innocent. It looks like a golden ball just now.
"Jin Tuan has made a mess for you, I'll help you re-tie your hair."
Tang Jingruo turned his head back, looking calm. The roots of the ears were quietly red. Explains:
"I've never used this white jade crown before."
"Well, that's a bit complicated."
Obviously, it was only a little difficult, Song Yiyao couldn't help but smile and responded. The little marquis is thin-skinned, so she should give a step down. lest you be angry again in a moment.
After getting out of the carriage, Tang Jingruo had already recovered his appearance, except that his ears were still red.
Because the case was divided into two directions, Guan Yu and Shen Yuezhi were responsible for investigating the murderer. Jiang Liangma Anshancha took bribes.
After entering the Criminal Department, Guan Yu saw that they were back, and came over to report:
"There are three sets of clothing and utensils left by the Ministry of Works, and there is no record. There was Fu Xian who went out of the city that day, and Fu Xian returned to the imperial city in the evening of the next day. Didn't I say, why did he kill so many people? β
He slapped the table in confusion, very angry. Obviously, Fu Xian has been determined to be the murderer in his heart.
Song Yiyao took out the piece of paper.
"Someone just gave me this. The cause of their death was still related to the tunnel. There must be some secret hidden in that tunnel. And someone in the Ministry of Industry, in order to hide this secret, chose to kill people. Are they in the Criminal Department now? β
Guan Yu looked like a ghost, and asked in surprise: "How do you know, my lord?" β
Song Yiyao explained: "Today, His Majesty ordered a strict investigation of the corruption of the Ministry of Industry, there was a carriage outside, the coachman was dejected, and the horse was hung with official logos. The carriage of our criminal department will not be like this, because it is inconvenient. Jiang Liangma Anshan was not there, so he must have interrogated them. β
"Who does the adult think the money is greedy for?" Guan Yu's eyes lit up, he saw the slight knowledge, observed carefully, and said that they were like Lord Song!
Is this so obvious to guess who it is? Song Yiyao glanced at him and kindly prompted: "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. β
Guan Yu realized what a stupid question he asked casually.
Yang Shilang is thoughtful, and he will never offend people in normal times. But this time, I'd rather get into trouble than take the initiative to hand over the account book, so it's definitely not him. The rest is only Fu Xian.
"Fu Xianzhen is true"
Tang Jingruo, who was listening, was in a good mood, and seeing that he had been confined to the circle, he reminded:
"Why don't you want to think about the Ministry of Works?"
"Lord Shi is well-known for his fairness and integrity, he has been in the field for many years, and he has taken out all his net worth to provide disaster relief during the drought, and he has always been a clean breeze on his sleeves, and he is deeply loved by the people. It is because of this that he became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, how could such a good official be fascinated by money. β
Guan Yu never doubted Shi Ziyan. Because believing in his reputation. Believe in him as a person.
Song Yiyao didn't expect this little young master to be so naΓ―ve after staying in the Criminal Department for so long, and said seriously and sternly:
"Investigating the case must not rule out any possibility, and the truth is not taken for granted. There is no boundary between good and bad, it does not mean that if he is a good person, he will not do bad things, and a bad person will definitely not do good things. When investigating every suspect, there should be no bias. β
He listened to his grandfather praise Shi Ziyan for so many years, and he deeply felt that Shi Ziyan was the kind of good official who served the country and the people, and now this understanding may be completely subverted. Guan Yu was a little uncomfortable, and said sullenly:
"I just don't think Master Shi should be that kind of person."
Tang Jingruo gave him a rare patient analysis and said:
"Fu Xian alone will not have the courage to do anything under the nose of Yang Shilang, who is at odds with him. Wouldn't that be a rush for people to grab the handle? If you don't believe me, go talk to Jiang Liang and them later. I thought that Yang Shilang should have already confessed everything that should be offered. β
The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is bustling, all for the sake of profit β from historical records.
