Chapter 124: A Shocking Conspiracy

When Bai Qian heard the news, his face turned blue with anger, and he sent a sergeant to look around the city, and he must be captured alive.

Yang Qiuchi took the little black dog and decided to use the puppy to track him. However, Yang Qiuchi found that the sky outside had begun to fall with goose feathers and heavy snow.

It's been a long time in winter, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, Yang Qiuchi and they are on the way to Ying Tianfu, they found that the sky was gloomy and as if it was going to snow, today, the snow finally fell, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and they were all over the place. In a few moments, the ground was completely white.

What a coincidence! Yang Qiuchi scolded in his heart, although this snow is beautiful, it will cover up the smell of the person to be tracked. It's just a matter of luck.

Deng Youlu lived in the camp of Jingying, and Bai Qian always took Yang Qiuchi and others to the camp of Beijing.

Entering the camp, Yang Qiuchi was a little surprised, if the big barracks except for the heavy snow, there were not many people empty, strangely asked Bai Qian what was going on, Bai Qian said that one of the emperor's concubines was going to Suzhou and Hangzhou to play, and more than half of Bai Qian's army was transferred, led by another general, to protect Luan.

Deng Youlu's residence was very messy, with some burned ashes on the ground. This is even more revealing, it seems that this Deng Youlu did get the news and absconded. Yang Qiuchi asked the others to wait outside, and he took the little black dog into the room.

Yang Qiuchi found a few underwear from the room and gave it to the little black dog to smell, and after the little black dog smelled it, he lowered his head and went out of the door, came to the snow outside, and began to lower his head and sniff around. After sniffing for a long time, he stood there and screamed at the empty barracks, looking at Yang Qiuchi pitifully. It's over, Deng Youlu's smell was really covered by this unfortunate heavy snowfall.

There was no way, Yang Qiuchi returned to the room, and only searched carefully here to see if he could find clues about Deng Youlu's absconding.

Yang Qiuchi found a few pairs of shoes under the bed, took them out and examined them carefully, and on one of the shoes, two red stains were found, which were star-shaped, although the red spots had not been examined, and they could not be 100% sure that they were blood, but they were not far away. Judging from the star-like shape of this blood spot, it should have been formed after dripping from a height of about one meter, and it may have fallen from Deng Youlu's murder weapon.

This is the pair of shoes that the murderer wore when he killed Tu Laosi, Yang Qiuchi turned the shoes over, found a ruler and measured them, yes, they were the same length and width as the footprints left at the scene. The sole pattern is similar, too.

Yang Qiuchi rummaged through the cabinets, and found a small red stain with a very light color on the cuff of a piece of clothing, which was obviously cleaned, but this kind of blood stain generally cannot be washed off, and the natural soap horn powder used for washing in ancient times was not very good at detergency, let alone wash off the blood stains.

There is no need to identify the two blood stains on the shoes and the cuffs of clothes, because blood group identification cannot be used as evidence in the Ming Dynasty. The blood type identification is just to let Yang Qiuchi clarify the direction of the investigation before the suspect is found, and now it has been made clear by fingerprint identification, this Deng Youlu is the murderer who killed the four slaughterers, so this identification does not need to be done again. Yang Qiuchi handed over his clothes and shoes to the Yamen of Ningguo Mansion for preservation, which could be used as evidence in the future.

After searching, the dagger was not found, and it may have been carried away by Deng Youlu.

Yang Qiuchi was very interested in the pile of ashes on the ground, Deng Youlu burned the letter paper before absconding, indicating that these letters were very important, Yang Qiuchi squatted down and observed carefully, he was happy in his heart, these ashes did not overlap together, there were three in total, it seemed to be a letter, although it was burned to ashes, it was not broken, and there was the possibility of restoration.

The restoration of burned documents is a type of document examination, which used to be troublesome, but now with digital technology, it has become easier, using infrared digital imaging technology, using a digital camera with infrared photography function, to see the handwriting on the ashes.

Because the wavelength of infrared is relatively long, it can penetrate some objects, such as ink, certain textile fabrics, etc., so the use of infrared imaging photos will omit some things that we can see with the naked eye, so that the handwriting on the ashes can be recognized. In addition to recovering the ashes of the document, it is also possible to distinguish the traces of alteration.

The digital camera that Yang Qiuchi brought to the Ming Dynasty has an infrared photography function, which is specially used for document inspection, and belongs to one of the forensic physical evidence equipment for this batch of aid to Tibet.

Now the key is that my digital camera is placed in Guangde County's house, who would have thought that this time I would encounter this kind of problem.

Now there are two options, either protect the site and go back and get the camera here to test, or bring the ashes back to test. This letter is so important, it must be a race against time, it will take several days to come and go, delay things, Yang Qiuchi decided to take measures to protect the ashes, and then bring them back to Guangde County for testing.

To extract this ash, the standard practice is to dip a brush in glycerin, gently brush the surface of the ash to allow it to soften and not break easily, and then clamp it with two pieces of clear glass. But Yang Qiuchi in the Ming Dynasty didn't know where to find glycerin, and there was no glass, so he had to use the soil method.

Yang Qiuchi asked Bai Qianzong to send guards to boil a pot of boiling water, gently picked up a piece of ash with his hand and put it in the palm of his hand, and then put it on the pot of boiling water, let the water vapor moisten and soften the ashes, and asked Bai Qianzong to find two thin sheets of white silk (infrared rays can penetrate this silk fabric. (Note: Summer is coming, remind MMs to pay attention to anti-infrared perspective candid photography.) An infrared camera or an infrared color filter can penetrate your clothes and reflect your physical appearance, which is the emperor's new clothes. Therefore, no matter how hot the weather is, you must remember to wear cotton underwear inside, infrared rays cannot penetrate cotton fabrics, but if you wear a nylon and silk fabric dress outside, under infrared perspective shooting, you will become a street show wearing a three-point swimsuit. Be careful! Yang Qiuchi placed the softened ashes on a white silk, carefully flattened it, and then covered it with another thin piece of white paper and clamped it with a book. In this way, Yang Qiuchi extracted all three ashes and sandwiched them in a thick book.

When he was about to say goodbye, Yang Qiuchi was still thinking about Bai Sumei who had been hurt by himself, and finally asked Mr. Bai Qian: "Mr. Qian, how is Miss Bai?" ”

Bai Qian's expression suddenly darkened a lot, and he sighed: "Mei'er is a monk." Your aunt was so sad that she fell ill, so she didn't come out to see you. ”

Yang Qiuchi's head buzzed, this result was in his expectation, and it was beyond his expectations, Bai Sumei experienced such a tragedy, escaped death three times, and had a skin-to-skin relationship with a person who was not her husband, and was rejected after proposing to this person, as a woman like her who was seriously poisoned by feudal ethics and morality, how can she live peacefully, I am afraid the only choice is to become a monk.

At this time, Yang Qiuchi found that Bai Qian was much older than before, and it must have something to do with his daughter's ordination, so he said in a low voice: "I'm sorry ......"

Bai Qian smiled reluctantly: "How can I blame you, now that I think about it, you didn't do anything wrong at that time, if you promised me to divorce my wife at that time, I will not only feel guilty for the rest of my life, but also look down on you." ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly, although Bai Qian was always praising himself, he was not happy at all, and asked: "Master Qian, can you tell me where the white girl is home?" ”

Bai Qian always looked up at the heavy snow fluttering in the sky, and said slowly: "It's in the Jingxue Nunnery, one hundred and seventy miles east of Yingtianfu City. ”

"Is she doing there?"

Bai Qian always shook his head: "We have only been to see her once, and she will not see us if we go again." said that Qing Xiu was afraid of disturbing her" paused for a long time, and sighed again, "If I knew this, I would have made her a concubine for you, and it would not be ...... It's late now, it's too late to say anything......"

Yang Qiuchi was speechless.

They said goodbye from the Qianzong Mansion, and due to the urgency of time, they didn't have time to visit Song Qing's mother's house, and they didn't even have time to meet Ma Du, so they hurried back overnight.

Song Qing knew that the matter was urgent, although she felt a little uncomfortable when she passed through the door and did not enter, but in order to solve Yang Qiuchi's case, she had no choice but to do so.

The group braved the goose feather snow and starry nights, and rushed back to Guangde County two days later.

When she got home, it was already dark, and Feng Xiaoxue already knew from Yang's mother that Song Qing's mother had given her husband an impossible task, and after politely refusing to marry, she comforted Yang Qiuchi vigorously.

Long Zixu and his wife have been married, and they especially thanked Yang Qiuchi as a matchmaker.

Where can Yang Qiuchi take care of these now, he didn't even have time to eat dinner, so he locked himself in the room where the aluminum alloy cabinet was placed, covered all the windows with cloth, and there was no light in the room, then closed the door, took out the infrared digital camera from the aluminum alloy cabinet, and put the three pieces of letter paper ashes sandwiched in white silk for infrared shooting.

The writing on the letter was written with a brush, the font was much larger than the pen type, and the strokes were thicker, so the handwriting was clearly visible after the infrared shooting.

After the shooting, Yang Qiuchi took out the digital photo and looked at it, was stunned for a moment, read it carefully again, and was sure that he was not mistaken, this was a letter of rebellion conspiring to kidnap Ming Chengzu's concubine!

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di has a very favored concubine Quan, is a beautiful woman selected from North Korea, beautiful, intelligent, can sing and dance, especially good at playing the jade flute, Chengzu loves her very much, and named her a virtuous concubine. When this virtuous concubine first arrived in China, she heard that there was heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, so she proposed to visit Hangzhou.

Ming Chengzu was busy with government affairs and could not accompany him, and Suzhou and Hangzhou were not far from the capital Yingtianfu, so he sent most of the men and horses in the two guards of his own internal guard and some of the pro-army guards to protect the mansion and some of the people, including the right-hand man in the first guard Jinyi Guard, to protect the virtuous concubine Luan and go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to play. Among the Beijing battalion soldiers dispatched, there was Bai Qianzong's subordinate troops!

The letter was written to Deng Youlu by a person named Ye, most likely Ye Xixian, the core leader of the Jianwenyu Party, who instructed Deng Youlu and others to lead troops to hold Concubine Xian hostage on the way to force Ming Chengzu to abdicate.

Yang Qiuchi remembered that Bai Qian said that his troops who participated in the protection of Concubine Xian were led by another general, which shows that Deng Youlu was not assigned to lead the troops to participate, so how did he lead the troops to hold him hostage, could it be that the generals of the Jianwen Yu Party who rebelled in Bai Qianzong's Beijing camp soldiers were other than Deng Youlu?

Moreover, there are other troops in the army that protects Luanjia, and Bai Qianzong has relatively few troops participating in the protection of Luanjia, if he wants to succeed, he is likely to have foreign aid, maybe he will ambush halfway, attack inside and outside, and take advantage of the chaos to rob Concubine Xian.

Deng Youlu absconded after receiving the news, fearing that this important letter would be lost, so he burned him, but he could not imagine that anyone would be able to restore the ashes and discover this great secret.

Where will Deng Youlu abscond? Yang Qiuchi thought that the first choice was to go to the Jingying soldiers who protected Luanjia, because they didn't know that he was a murderer and wouldn't suspect it, so they participated in the army to kidnap Concubine Xian!

Immediately report the news to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and use carrier pigeons to pass the book!

Yang Qiuchi lit the lantern, cut a small note, lifted the brush, wrote a few lines on it crookedly, and asked Feng Xiaoxue to bring the bird cage containing the carrier pigeon, take out one from it, tie the letter, and let the carrier pigeon go.

They rushed back from Yingtianfu, and they were delayed for almost three days on the road, I don't know when Deng Youlu and they will start, I don't know if my news can arrive in time, I don't know if I can stop this conspiracy in time to protect the safety of Concubine Xian.

let go of the carrier pigeon, but Yang Qiuchi's heart could not relax.

Yang Qiuchi came to the living room, and Yang Mu, Feng Xiaoxue and Long Zixu were all there. Feng Xiaoxue saw that Yang Qiuchi looked very tired, so she pulled him to sit down distressedly, and Yahuan Yuechan gave Yang Qiuchi a cup of fragrant tea.

After gossiping for a while, Yang Qiuchi asked Long Zixu how his newlywed was. found that Long Zixu and the bride Chunya looked a little embarrassed, and their words were also fragmented, Yang Qiuchi was not good to ask again.

After gossiping for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Back in the bedroom, Yang Qiuchi asked Feng Xiaoxue while undressing: "What's the matter with this Long Zixu couple?" How did the newlywed Yan'er of Chunya girl come sad? ”

Feng Xiaoxue smiled: "I found out the next day, pulled Chunya aside and asked carefully, at first Chunya refused to say, and then I said that if there is something to say, we can find a way, and she told me." It turned out that Mr. Long was him, and he couldn't have sex. ”

Yang Qiuchi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”

"I don't know why." Feng Xiaoxue glanced at Yang Qiuchi, "I heard Chunya say that the two of them worked all night, but Mr. Long just can't do it." It seems that Mr. Long has been injured there. ”
