Chapter 59: Gossip
"Bohu, I know what you mean, that is, to start by solving the case, but how to solve the case?" Surin asked,
Liu Rui's family was killed by Cai An, and everyone present knew it, but if this step was taken, then there would inevitably be a situation without evidence, so that Cai An had a reason to deal with himself.
Not only that, if the case is left unchecked and the case is hastily closed, then Cai Jing will inevitably have an excuse to remove Liu Yan.
At the time of the dilemma, the tricks of Cai An and Cai Jing were very inferior, and they also belonged to the kind of blatant head-to-head competition between people on both sides, but Su Lin and they were now in a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger.
If you are not careful, you will never recover.
"Hey......" Tang Yin groaned and said, "He can frame the blame, why can't I?" ”
Su Lin's heart moved, he took a bite of food, and wondered: "Who is it for?" ”
"Cai An." Tang Yin smiled and said, "It's not that it's a suspicion, but that Cai is placed in such a situation as Wenbang, hey." ”
As he spoke, Tang Yin kept sneering, and Su Lin felt the chill emanating from him: "What do you mean, that is the usual inferior trick of using rumors?" ”
Tang Yin nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Qin Hui and Yue Fei listened on the sidelines, both shaking their heads, feeling that this matter could not have any impact on Cai An, no, didn't Su Lin also sit here and eat?
On this day, there were once again first-class rumors in the city, that is, Cai An, the son of Cai Mansion, had a feud with Liu Rui, and it seemed that Liu Rui was greedy for Cai Mansion's silver, and Cai An was angry and sent secret guards to assassinate him.
Later, people really found a lot of silver taels printed with the special mark of Cai Mansion in Liu Rui's house, which seemed to confirm Cai An's suspicion, and Cai Mansion had secret guards, and this matter was not a secret among the public.
can silence Liu Rui's family, which is only the secret guard in the big family can do, and Cai An's character can be said to be well-known, no matter how good it seems to some elders, but in the eyes of young scholars in Yangzhou, Cai An is the kind of person who is sanctimonious.
Compared with the version that distrusts Su Lin, Cai An has rumors, although most of them still maintain a skeptical attitude, but there are still a small number of people who hate Cai An, saying that this matter is very likely.
What's more, this rumor is not out of nowhere, tens of thousands of taels of silver related to Cai's house appeared out of thin air in Liu Rui's house, and anyone would suspect it.
If it is said that Cai An eats, it is possible to spend thousands of taels, but this is tens of thousands of taels of silver, plus Cai An eats in a place like Yumanlou, if Yumanlou is a five-star hotel, then Fenghailou is a one-star Jianghu restaurant.
With Cai An's temperament, it is impossible to go to such a place.
The matter suddenly involved a Cai An again, and some smart people may have seen the reason for the matter, and then think of Su Ji Baiyu Tofu Brain in Fenghailou, the cause and effect of this matter seem to have come to light.
But even reasonable people don't dare to say anything, they all know that the trick in this is no longer as simple as the personal feud between Su Lin and Cai An, and many people have inferred from this case that Liu Yan was also involved.
The gossip in the city has made the people of Yangzhou panic, whether it is Su Lin or Cai An, they are now figures with heads and faces in Yangzhou, and they are scholars, no matter which one goes wrong, it will lead to a change in the people's views of Yangzhou on scholars.
Cai Fu.
Cai An slammed his fist on the table, unconcerned about the pain between his fingers.
His face was gloomy, his hands were propped up on the table, and his eyes were like torches.
Originally, he could guide this thing as an outsider, but now it seems that Su Lin and the others seem to be jumping over the wall in a hurry and pulling themselves in.
Although Cai An didn't think that the rumors could cause much damage to Su Lin, it was a key step to lead the matter outward, so that Su Lin could cooperate in solving the case, and then, Liu Yan and others were in a difficult situation.
Now, he is involved in it.
"These thirteen have not cleaned up everything that may have caused accidents." Cai An hates and fears this thirteen now.
"Hmph, deep hidden merit and fame?" Cai An sneered, staring at the pen and ink on the table, his eyes were sharp, "I forced my son to be anxious, and made what you did public, when the time comes, will there be people who hide your merits and fame?" ”
A black shadow suddenly flashed, and a cold voice came from his head: "I advise you not to do this, otherwise, you will die a miserable death." ”
Cai An was startled, and when he looked up, a figure in a black robe was sitting on the beam, and the pair of pitch-black pupils were staring at him, and the depth of his eyes made him shudder.
"Hopefully, this is the first time you've been given a warning." The voice was indifferent, the black-robed man jumped off the beam, slowly walked out of the main entrance, and paused at the door, "I also hope that this is the last time." ”
Cai An was drenched in cold sweat, and only then did he realize how dangerous he was, if he provoked this guy, he was afraid that he might be in a different place at any time.
Relieved, a voice came in: "Childe, Lord Zhizhou, please." ”
Hearing this, Cai An's eyes were cold, he was stunned for a while, and said, "Prepare the car." ”
……
Liu Yan was at home at this time, preparing tea and wine, and it seemed that there were guests coming today.
After a while, someone came to report that Cai An had arrived.
That's right, this time, the person Liu Yan invited was Cai An.
Sitting inside the house, it was raining lightly outside, Liu Yan stared at the young scholar who walked up slowly, his face expressionless.
The corners of Cai An's mouth hooked up a smile, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and then he still said: "Cai An, who was born late, has seen Liu Zhizhou." ”
Squinting, Liu Yan looked at Cai An, and two sharp lights burst out in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Cai An's soul.
Cai An only felt that everything on his body had been thoroughly seen by Liu Yan, speaking of which, he was still very afraid of Liu Yan, manipulating everything behind his back, and in front of Liu Yan himself, it was completely different.
"Hmm......" With a dull sound, Liu Yan retracted his gaze and said softly, "Sit down, I have something important to tell you today." ”
Cai An was flattered and said, "Then Yuan Jin is better than obeying his fate." ”
"You may have heard the rumors in Yangzhou, the so-called will not be groundless, you always have to explain the matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Liu Yan got straight to the point, and as soon as Cai An sat down, he turned the topic to the murder case of Liu Rui's family.
"Zhizhou Mingjian, I just want to cooperate with Liu Rui to make Fenghailou's business bigger." Cai An was drenched in cold sweat and looked innocent.
He never thought that Liu Yan would find himself in person because of this matter.
