Chapter 12: The Death of the Craftsman (3)
Early in the morning, Song Yiyao went home and took Tang Jingruo, who had not had to go to the early dynasty since he was sealed as a guard, to the Criminal Department.
"Why did Lord Song and Little Marquis come here so early?"
Qin Jiangcai, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and his subordinates finished gossiping about the matter of the court this morning, but they didn't expect the main lord to come in a blink of an eye. Busy going out to greet you.
Qin Jiang is in his early forties, kind, broad-hearted and fat, and is a typical smiling tiger. However, I put too much thought into building a good relationship, and I can't handle the case, so the supervisor convicts and sentences, and summarizes the files.
Song Yiyao took Zuo Shilang's errand, so he was in charge of investigating the case.
"Hello Lord Qin! The case at hand hasn't been closed yet, isn't this thinking that if you come to the Criminal Department, you might as well have a helper? ”
Song Yiyao was no stranger to him, and explained his intention with a smile.
"Lord Song and Little Marquis are worthy of being the pillars of my dynasty! Such hard work really makes Qin feel ashamed! ”
"Lord Qin has praised it falsely, we will be colleagues in the future, and I hope Lord Qin will mention it more."
"Nature, Nature!"
Tang Jingruo listened to the greetings between the two, and his brows were about to twist into an eight. You praise me, I praise you, is there any end?
"This is the room where Lord Song works."
Tang Jingruo looked at Qin Jiang, although he didn't speak, the meaning was obvious.
Qin Jiang wiped the cold sweat oozing out, and secretly scolded Shen Ming for being a dead brain, he really thought that the little marquis was an easy to mess with, not to say that the little marquis is now Song Yiyao's guard, which is unreasonable. No room will be assigned to this person.
He didn't dare to convey the original words of the new Shangshu Statement, so he could only find a reason with a smile:
"There have been a lot of people in the Criminal Department lately. There is really no extra room, so I can only grieve the two of you first and use a room temporarily. ”
Song Yiyao saw his embarrassment and fear, and smiled to relieve the siege.
"What's wrong with this, I see this room is quite big. Enough for the two of us! ”
Tang Jingruo frowned, looked at the two tables facing each other, one south and one north, and did not speak.
Lord Song is such a good person! Qin Jiang glanced at him gratefully, and then according to Song Yiyao's meaning, he put the five rank langs under Song Yiyao's hands, and called over from the five rank members and foreign langs.
There are two Lang Zhong and two Lang Wai Lang, a total of four people. When the four of them saw Song Yiyao and Tang Jingruo, their expressions were different, after all, they were all Shenming's right-hand men before, and they were not convinced. But they all saluted honestly.
"I don't need many people under me, but I must be loyal and useful. Today is the first time we've met, and I have to ask one thing first. ”
"Lord Song, if you have anything, just tell me."
Jiang Liang, a foreigner who looked a few years older than Qin Jiang, smiled and complimented.
"When investigating the case, it is possible for everyone to be fair and strict and impartial?"
"Of course." Lang Zhong Ma Anshan solemnly leaned over and replied.
Looking at the youngest one, he said angrily:
"Lord Song, we are all people who have followed Lord Shen for two or three years. To put it mildly, Lord Shen is a man who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, if we can't do this, how can we stay. ”
With just one glance, Song Yiyao recognized the son-in-law in front of him, Guan Yu, the grandson of Guan Ge. It is said that the bachelor from the fourth grade should not have to enter the criminal department, and he was obsessed with investigating the case until he was not home for half a month, and the angry Guan Ge Lao directly said that he was dead.
Since this is Guan Yu, the one who has been silent is Shen Yuezhi, Shen Yuecheng's brother. He is silent, and his martial arts are unfathomable.
After the person recognized it, Song Yiyao also had a general understanding in his heart. She explained the murder in the palace in a few words, and took out the half of the East Pearl, saying that she picked it up at the scene of the crime.
"What can this find?"
Guan Yu pinched the half of the East Pearl and frowned. The case doesn't look that difficult. But there are so few clues. What can be seen only from the corpse and this thing?
Song Yiyao took back the half of the East Pearl, and said:
"I can't find out. This look is inlaid on the embroidered shoes, look at this luster, ordinary palace maids will not need it. To be able to wear such embroidered shoes, the status is either rich or expensive.
The scope has been narrowed down to the concubines in the palace and the women who can enter and leave the palace at will.
So, she deliberately ruined Miss Yun's tattoos, could it be because she was afraid that she would be exposed, that is, she also had tattoos on her body.
Tattoos are generally a symbol of the same kind of people. Miss Yun is Nantian's spy, so this person must also be Nantian's spy. That is to say, people who are not natives of the Imperial City.
Take this Dongzhu and ask the people of the Internal Affairs Office, and they will definitely be able to identify which batch this Dongzhu is. What have been done and who has been supplied.
You can ask the old lady in the palace about the tattoo, and the tattoo on her body must not dare to show it, so it will definitely be covered, but no matter how you cover it, it will definitely leave traces.
She is not in the palace, but in the minister's palace outside the palace.
You can check the records of entering and leaving the palace last night, and the people who can move around the palace at will, and check the suspicious people from them.
As long as she kills someone, she will definitely leave evidence! As long as you leave evidence, you will definitely be able to catch her! As long as there is an overlap between these articles, then she must be the murderer. ”
Her words were clear, and several people in the audience nodded their heads again and again.
This is like a champion from Qin Tianjian. Even those who have been in the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department for a few years may not be able to compare.
Guan Yu originally just sighed casually, wanting to be angry with Song Yiyao, but seeing that Song Yiyao was so serious and not as knowledgeable as him, he couldn't help but blushed with shame.
"I don't know what you're good at. So whoever goes to check on it, I won't interfere, you coordinate it yourself. I'm a straight-tempered person, and I don't like to beat around the bush.
Your Majesty asked me to come to the Criminal Department, in fact, there is a heavy meaning. That is, I want to hand over all those doubtful cases, miscellaneous cases, and difficult cases here. So I hope you all have a bottom in your heart. After all, the days ahead will be exciting. ”
Song Yiyao pulled out a perfect smile. And quite satisfied with his smile. It's good to have subordinates, just let them check these little things. It would be nice to dig up some more evidence.
After the four of them left, Song Yiyao happily grabbed Tang Jingruo's sleeve and asked:
"Didn't I smile very gently? Particularly general-like? ”
Obviously he already knew who the murderer was in his heart, and he asked the family to run to check little by little, this is called the demeanor of a general? This is called deep thinking, bad and angry. knew that this new Zuo Shilang had his own calculations in his heart.
Tang Jingruo just silently ripped open his sleeve, and after retreating to a safe distance, his thin lips opened lightly, and he spit out four words: "Creepy." ”
It is foreseeable that there will be a lot of chickens and dogs jumping in the future.
"Little Marquis, come over here."
Song Yiyao smiled.
Tang Jingruo shook his head, he would never be fooled.
A quarter of an hour later, Song Yiyao, who was packing up his things, suddenly squatted down and looked at a little place and exclaimed:
"Alas, little marquis, what do you think this is?"
"What?" Tang Jingruo came over.
Song Yiyao smiled at him again, and then waved his hand to punch him.
"Fists, of course!"
Tang Jingruo didn't notice it for a while, and he got a blue eye.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he was willing to suffer a loss under Song Yiyao, and immediately wanted to return it. But Song Yiyao had already prepared and had already escaped.
The two of you, you punch me and kick me. Straight in the room. During this time, he accidentally bumped into three chairs and broke two teapots. He also accidentally knocked over the crumbling bookshelf that was overwhelmed.
This collision didn't matter, it directly broke one leg of the bookshelf.
Seeing that the dossier and books were about to collapse, Song Yiyao was buried alive.
Tang Jingruo reached out before his thoughts, hugged Song Yiyao, and protected him under him.
When the heavy books smashed on his body, Tang Jingruo still had the kung fu to think about it, but fortunately he blocked it for him. Otherwise, it would have hurt to hit his little arms and legs.
Hearing the muffled hum in his ears, Song Yiyao's brain buzzed, and after reacting, he hurriedly wanted to push Tang Jingruo away.
But he was hugged tightly and couldn't break free.
The books were almost gone, but the shelves followed.
"Get up! Get out of the way! Seeing the heavy mahogany bookshelf coming towards the two, Song Yiyao was completely panicked.
Tang Jingruo covered his eyes with his hand.
Well, it's because the way he looks in tears is so ugly.
Qin Jiang next door heard such a loud noise, and sighed at Shen Ming: "Look at it, look at it, I don't believe it when I say that the little marquis is not good to mess with you." Now it must be the little marquis who is losing his temper again! Lord Song is so pitiful! ”
So Shang Shu, who rushed to rescue the poor Lord Song, saw a mess, a bookcase that fell to the ground, a little marquis with blue eyes who lost his temper and was smashed, and Song Yiyao, who was held in his arms and protected by the little marquis.
I don't know how long it took, but the warm embrace was torn apart. Song Yiyao finally came back to his senses from the blank. Before I knew it, my face was full of tears.
Several people hurriedly lifted Tang Jingruo up, and the blood-red glare on his lips was dazzling. It must have been an internal injury. Song Yiyao was stunned. I didn't have time to wipe the tears on my face.
"Lord Song, are you alright?"
Qin Jiang saw that his face was pale and tearful, and he hurriedly asked.
Song Yiyao shook his head and looked at Tang Jingruo, refusing to take his eyes off for even a moment.
Tang Jingruo wanted to speak, but was forcibly carried out by Qin Jiang and a few people.
Song Yiyao stumbled and tried to follow, but tripped over something and fell to the ground hard.
And the culprit is a bluestone brick wrapped in a bookcoat with square edges and bloody corners!
Because of this stone, Song Yiyao, who had come back to her senses, came back to her senses, and thought of the bookshelf, when she hit it just now, a table blocked it, and there was not much strength left. But the bookshelf was folded directly. Someone must have done it!
"My lord! What's wrong with you, my lord? What's going on? ”
Shen Mo originally took snacks to help Song Yiyao deal with the petty officials of the Criminal Department. When I heard that something was going on here, I hurriedly ran over, and when I saw this scene, my worried voice trembled.
"Go see where the leg is broken."
Song Yiyao leaned against the wall and picked up the brick with both hands.
She has always been a person who has repaid kindness and revenge. No matter who made this matter, she would never give up like this.
Shen Mo heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly searched for it in the mess. I saw that the broken leg of the table was neatly and neatly, and it was clear that most of it had been cut with a knife, and it looked like an accident.
He picked up the severed leg. wrapped in cloth and handed it to Song Yiyao.
Her voice was calm without a hint of turbulence:
"Go tell Lord Shangshu and ask him to gather all the people who have been in this room today."
"My lord, your wounds should be bandaged first!" Shen Mo looked anxiously at her ankle, which was already oozing blood. Worried persuasion.
Song Yiyao closed his eyes and shook his head. I have thought about it.
