After finding Master Qiangu, Yang Qiuchi asked, "Master, how do you generally deal with the cinders of these smelting workshops near Ningguo Mansion?" ”

How else can it be dealt with, in ancient times, I am afraid that there were not as many environmental pollution problems as now, so there are no strict regulations on the discharge of the "three wastes", so Master Qiangu didn't know why Yang Qiuchi had this question, thought about it, and said: "Generally, they are stacked next to the smelting workshop at random." ”

If this is the case, then there is no point, Yang Qiuchi did not give up, and asked with the last hope: "Is there any other place to pull these cinders to waste or something?" ”

Master Qian Gu felt that Yang Qiuchi's question was ridiculous, but Yang Qiuchi was a distinguished guest of Lord Zhou's Governor's Mansion, how could he dare to laugh, but he still couldn't help laughing: "My lord, you said that this is waste, how can this waste be used?" Well, there was no such thing as cinder waste utilization at that time.

Hou Xiaoqi behind Yang Qiuchi said: "Young master, I know that in the Thousand Households of the Jinyi Guard and the Ningguo Mansion Guards, they often use cinders to pave the training grounds. ”

"Really?" Yang Qiuchi asked in surprise, "How do you know?" Immediately remembered that this Hou Xiaoqi himself was the small banner of the Jinyi Guard Hundred Households of Ningguo Mansion, and he must have been to the training ground of the Thousand Households of the Ningguo Mansion Garrison Army. Immediately changed his tone and asked, "What are they doing with cinders to lay the drill ground?" ”

"If you don't lay it, when it rains heavily, the muddy floor will be wet and slippery, and it will be full of mud, and you won't be able to practice for several days. This cinder is absorbent, and after it is laid, even if it rains heavily, it will not be muddy. ”

"I see," Yang Qiuchi suddenly realized, "Then do you know where else Ningguo Mansion uses cinders to pave the ground?" ”

Hou Xiaoqi thought for a while and said, "Except for the training ground of the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households and the Army's Thousand Households, there are no cinders used in other places. After a pause, he added, "Although this cinder absorbs water, it looks dirty and other people don't like to use it." The small ones often run around Ningguo Mansion, and they have never seen other places use cinders to pave the ground. ”

In this way, now the last hope is this Jinyi Wei and the army of thousands of households, but when I think of these two places, Yang Qiuchitou is bigger, and the sergeants in these two places add up to several thousand, and if you want to compare them one by one, it will be compared to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month.

Yang Qiuchi frowned and thought about how to narrow it down.

Army, Yang Qiuchi in the modern society and the army do not have much contact, when I used to go to college, there is a military camp behind the school, when I first entered the university, I like to recognize fellow countrymen, once went to play with fellow countrymen. However, the system in the army is very strict, and soldiers need to be granted leave when they go out, and there are quota and time restrictions, so it is definitely not something that can be run out casually.

That's right! Yang Qiuchi suddenly thought that since the military system is strict, you can't go out at will, check the people who go out during the murder period, and then compare, isn't it okay! Ha ha! Yang Qiuchi was happy again, now that the social army is strictly managed, I don't know if the Ming Dynasty army is strictly managed.

Yang Qiuchi asked Hou Xiaoqi: "Do you know whether the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households and the Army's Thousand Households need permission to go out?" ”

"Yes," Hou Xiaoqi said, "and the management is very strict, besides, it is already the winter farming slack, and the sergeants of the military households are concentrated in the Qianhu Institute for drills, there are a lot of people, if the management is not strict, they all run around, there is no way to train." ”

"Do you want to register when you go out?"

"Of course, it must be registered, all the sergeants who go out, including the Jinyi guards of the hundred households, must be approved and registered when they go out without permission, and if they come back after the time, they will be punished."

Ha, it seems that the management of the army of the Ming Dynasty is also very strict, very similar to the current army, which is easy to do. Yang Qiuchi said happily: "Let's go, go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen." Yang Qiuchi decided to start with the hundred households of Jinyi Wei, and there were relatively few people here.

Niu Baihu was very happy to see Yang Qiuchi, and after listening to Yang Qiuchi's explanation of his intentions, he immediately sent someone to call the military Cao who managed to go out on leave, and took the registration book of Jinyiwei who went out on leave for private matters during this time. Yang Qiuchi turned to the two days of the murder period, fortunately, there were not many people who went out for private matters in the past two days, only six, it seems that the management of this cattle hundred households is still very strict.

Yang Qiuchi asked Niu Baihu to call these six people, extracted their fingerprints respectively, and then found a room to compare them quietly, but as a result, they did not find the same. Yang Qiuchi was disappointed but a little relieved, he was the special envoy of the Jinyiwei commander, and he definitely didn't want to see Jinyiwei's people commit this kind of thing.

Niu Baihu heard that Yang Qiuchi was going to the army Qianhu to investigate the case, and Niu Baihu was very familiar with Gao Qianhu, the supreme head of the Ningguo Mansion Military Qianhu Gao, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to accompany Yang Qiuchi, and was with Yang Qiuchi's mind.

The group immediately rushed to the Thousand Households. Sure enough, I saw that the drill ground in the Thousand Households was covered with cinders.

This high thousands of households have also heard the story of Yang Qiuchi, the small cell head, who has solved strange cases during this time, and has long heard of Yang Qiuchi, plus the introduction of hundreds of households in Jinyi and Niu, this high thousands of households are very polite to Yang Qiuchi, Yang Qiuchi checked the register of soldiers who went out of the thousand households during the time when the homicide occurred, and there were nineteen people. After asking Gao Qianhu to call these nineteen people, Yang Qiuchi took fingerprints and compared them, but as a result, he was disappointed again, and none of them matched.

It's over, all the clues are broken, how can this be.

Gao Qianhu was very hospitable, so he had to stay with Yang Qiuchi and others for dinner. Anyway, the clue was broken, and there was nothing to do, Song Qing and the others didn't come back, so Yang Qiuchi and Song Yun'er stayed to eat.

Although he looked depressed, after drinking a few glasses of wine, Yang Qiuchi's mood slowly became happy. Song Yun'er was also very happy to see that Yang Qiuchi was in a better mood, and after drinking a few glasses with Yang Qiuchi, her face turned red.

After eating and drinking, Yang Qiuchi and the others were about to say goodbye, when a sergeant ran in outside, reporting that several military masters from the Tianfu Military Department had come to Ningguo Mansion on a mission and asked the Lord of Qianhu to hurry up to greet him.

Yang Qiuchi's heart moved, and he asked Gao Qianhu: "Do people from the military from other places often come to our Qianhu?" ”

Gao Qianhu said: "That's not true, it's mainly the masters of the Jingshi Ying Tianfu Military Department, in addition, there are also the military masters of the Beijing camp and the pro-army capital who sometimes come down for official business." ”

"So, have you been here these days?" Yang Qiuchi's heart began to beat wildly, this was his last hope, and he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster for a while, and even a little dry mouth.

"Yes, I just left yesterday." Gao Qianhu replied, "I came down on official business in the Tianfu Jingying, and there were three people in total. ”

"Is there anyone else who has come down on official business?"

Gao Qianhu said with a smile: "In the cold winter, who wants to make a difference, there is only one batch in this month or so, plus the wave that has just come, there are only two groups of people." ”

"Do they need to be registered and approved when they go out?" Yang Qiuchi asked urgently.

"Hehe, Yang Gongzi said with a smile, they are sent from above, they are not under our jurisdiction, they are all free to enter and exit, how dare we let people report and register." It's been a long time since I left, and the big thing was done in half a day, but they were stunned for almost half a month before leaving, I think they came to me to hide from the errand, hehehe. ”

Yang Qiuchi's heart lit up suddenly, hope is in this batch, if his judgment is not wrong, the biggest suspicion is this batch!

Yang Qiuchi asked, "What are their names?" Who sent it? Where did you live? Is the stuff they used still there? Can you find them now? ”

A series of questions made Gao Qianhu unable to deal with it for a while, and after thinking about it, he said: "One of the leaders is called Deng Youlu, and I didn't ask the names of the two subordinates, but I can find out." This Deng Youlu is a general manager under Bai Qian, the third thousandth household of the fourth guard of the Yingtianfu Jingying, and this thing they have used should still be there. "This is always the deputy of the general manager, and the Ming Dynasty is from the sixth grade.

Bai Qianzong's subordinates? There are so many internal security troops in the capital, and it happens to be someone from Bai Qian's internal security army, which is really a coincidence.

As soon as Yang Qiuchi thought of Mr. Bai Qian, his daughter Bai Sumei's complaining eyes suddenly came to mind, I don't know if she is okay now, if this case involves Mr. Bai Qian, then I am afraid I will have to see her.

Now Yang Qiuchi is very afraid to see Bai Sumei, he doesn't know how to face this woman he has been unintentionally forced to hurt, but his heart subconsciously longs to see this woman, thinking of her soft lips and plump breasts, Yang Qiuchi can't help but feel a little excited, I don't know if she is married now. However, Yang Qiuchi has a hunch that this white girl's understanding of the feudal Gangchang Rites is too dogmatic, and she has been kissed by herself, so I am afraid that she will not easily marry someone else.

Now is not the time to think about this question, Yang Qiuchi asked Gao Qianhu: "My lord, can you take us to see where they lived?" "Hopefully, if they still have their fingerprints on them, they can be extracted and compared right away.

"Okay, I'll have someone take you, I've got to go on a business, I'm sorry." Gao Qianhu called two sergeants and took Yang Qiuchi and others to the post house of Qianhu. The chief Deng Youlu lived in a separate room, and the two entourages lived in another room.

The sergeant who led the way opened the door, and Yang Qiuchi entered Deng Youlu's room, and found that the covers inside had been replaced with brand new, and the room was neatly tidied up, and it seemed to have been cleaned. Yang Qiuchi was disappointed, but he didn't give up. Because after Mr. Deng left, no one else had lived in this room, and no one had lived in it in the previous half a month, after excluding the fingerprints of the people who cleaned the room, the fingerprints of these three people should be determined.

Yang Qiuchi asked the sergeant to call the two orderlies who were cleaning the room, and asked them, knowing that the teacups in this room had been changed and cleaned, the bedding had been replaced with new ones, the old ones had been soaked in a large basin to be washed, and the tables and chairs had also been wiped.

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly, it was really unfortunate that he met two particularly diligent orderlies.

However, Yang Qiuchi still decided to check it, especially the tables and chairs, maybe in a corner that was not wiped out, you can find the fingerprints left behind.

After careful searching, on the back of the table and chair, Yang Qiuchi found a few fingerprints, and asked the sergeant to bring a piece of paper and told everyone to avoid it, Yang Qiuchi took out his magnetic fingerprint brush from his arms, and gently brushed the fingerprint part, and the fingerprints immediately appeared. Yang Qiuchi used duct tape to extract the fingerprints and paste them on the piece of paper.

Put away the fingerprint brush, take out the cloth with bloody handprints from your arms, and make a preliminary comparison.

Suddenly, Yang Qiuchi's eyes widened, and one of the fingerprints was the same as the fingerprint on the bloody handprint!

Got it! Yang Qiuchi was ecstatic, his hands trembled a little, he took out a magnifying glass from his arms, carefully observed the comparison, sure enough, the general characteristics of the fingerprints are the same, and the details of the lines are also consistent, it is certain that it was left by the same person, and the general Deng Youlu under Bai Qian is suspected of a major crime, and it is likely that he is the murderer who killed Tu Laosi!

Although he was very excited, Yang Qiuchi was still very cautious to extract the fingerprints in the room where the other two entourage sergeants lived, and compared them with the bloody handprints, and the results were different, so he concluded that this Deng Youlu was the person who left the bloody handprints at the scene.

Yang Qiuchi decided to go back and tell the news to the Zhou Governor's Mansion, and then asked the Zhou Governor to send a quick arrest to Yingtianfu with him to immediately rush to Yingtianfu to arrest the murderer Deng Youlu.

After saying goodbye to Gao Qianhu and Niu Baihu, Yang Qiuchi, Song Yuner, and Hou Xiaoqi returned to the prefect's yamen.

Entering the yamen, I saw a few familiar figures from afar, it was Song Zhixian and Yang Mu, and before I could see the others, a girl had already jumped happily and jumped into Yang Qiuchi's arms, it was Song Qing. When Song Yun'er saw this scene, her face turned white all of a sudden, and she hid to the side alone.

Although Yang Qiuchi was thick-skinned, he was still a little embarrassed in front of such people, gently pushed Song Qing away, and after greeting Yang Mu and Song Zhixian, he asked Song Qing, "How is it?" Did my mother agree to divorce? ”

Song Qing nodded and said: "After my uncle said about the divorce, my mother immediately agreed, but said that this marriage was set by my father before his death, and it is indeed a little embarrassing to withdraw from the marriage, if the Hao family is willing to retreat, it will be the best." The uncle said that he would go to the Hao family to divorce. As long as the Hao family agrees to withdraw from the marriage, this matter will be done. ”

Song Qing turned her head to look at Song Zhixian, and said gratefully: "As soon as we returned to Ningguo Mansion in the morning, we immediately went to the Hao family to discuss the divorce. Wrapping her arms around Yang Qiuchi's neck, she jumped and jumped with joy, after all, she was only sixteen years old, and she was only a half-old child.

Yang Qiuchi was very happy in his heart, and thanked Song Zhixian repeatedly. asked Song Qing again: "Then, did my mother agree to our marriage?" ”

Song Qing's expression darkened a little, and she looked at Song Zhixian silently.
