Chapter 383: The melon vine is broken
Song Yun'er turned her face and saw a half-made female red on the bed, walked over to see that it was a small dress, picked it up, and smiled in surprise: "It's so good-looking!" Master, this is for babies, right? ”
When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he screamed and ran over, only to find that there were some small clothes, small hats, and small shoes on the bed, most of which had been prepared, and they all looked obedient. Happily sat on the edge of the bed, picked up a pair of tiger head children's shoes, put two fingers into the children's shoes, and raised them to walk on his cheeks, which made the three girls giggle.
Liu Ruobing said: "I'm idle at home, I have nothing to do, I'll slowly make some small clothes and the like, okay?" ”
Song Yun'er held a small cotton jacket with two fingers and said, "I have never seen such a fine handiwork, Master's hands are so skillful." ”
Liu Ruobing smiled and said, "Qiu Chi, you didn't come here this time just to come to see me, right?" ”
Song Yun'er preemptively said: "My brother said, let's take care of both public and private affairs this time, on the one hand, let's take a look at the master and the unborn baby, and on the other hand, there is a tricky case to be investigated in Chengdu." ”
When Liu Ruobing heard that the case was tricky, she hurriedly asked, "What?" Is it hard to do? ”
"It involves the daughter of Wu Ciren, the political envoy of the provincial right."
Liu Ruobing was slightly stunned: "Wu Ciren's family? I heard that in the past two days, Wu Ciren's family was holding a funeral, but I don't know what happened. ”
Yang Qiuchi's heart sank and asked, "Funeral?" Who in their family died? ”
Liu Ruobing shook her head apologetically: "I rarely go out, and I don't inquire carefully." ”
Yang Qiuchi faintly felt that something was wrong, glanced at Song Yun'er, got up and said, "Ruobing, since this is the case, we have to go to the internal office of the political envoy Lord Wu to check first, and then come to see you in the evening, okay?" ”
Liu Ruobing stood up, walked in front of Yang Qiuchi, straightened his clothes, and patted the dust on his shoulder: "Well, I'll cook a meal and wait for you to come back." ”
"No, Ruobing, don't be too tired, I don't know what will happen to this case, if the situation is urgent, we may have to investigate the case overnight, don't wait, rest early, your body is important." Yang Qiuchi lovingly stroked Liu Ruobing's plum-like face, "I came this time, and I won't leave until our baby is born." ”
As soon as she heard this, Liu Ruobing's beautiful Danfeng eyes flashed with joy, and she nodded: "Okay, you guys are careful." ”
Leaving Liu Ruobing's small garden, the group went directly to the inner office of Wu Ciren, the Yamen of the Right Political Secretary.
A pair of stone lions at the gate of the inner government have two white paper flowers on their necks, and a long curtain is also hung on the door.
When Yang Qiuchi and the others saw this scene, their hearts sank even more, and there was indeed a funeral in the family of Lord Wu, the political envoy of Youbu.
got off the horse and handed over the post to inform it. After a while, Wu Ciren walked out of the door with his entourage.
Wu Ciren hurriedly stepped forward, although his face was full of smiles, his eyes were full of sadness and loneliness, and he gave a salute: "Sir, the lower officials didn't expect you to come unexpectedly, I am really overjoyed, please come in quickly!" ”
Yang Qiuchi saw that he was in his fifties, with a thin figure and a wisp of white beard, and he was slightly stunned when he heard him call himself a lower official. His surname was easy-going, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Lord Wu, the lower official was invited by the lord to enjoy the comfort of the countryside in Enyang Town. In addition to gratitude, I would like to visit in person to express my gratitude. ”
Wu Ciren was also slightly stunned when he heard that he also called himself a subordinate official, and then he understood, and smiled reluctantly: "Lord Yang is really polite." Come in, please come in and talk inside. ”
When I entered the garden, I saw that the garden was full of sorrow, and the servants of the family were filial piety and asked, "My lord, forgive the official...... Forgive me for daring to ask if there is anything in vain in the Zun Mansion? Yang Qiuchi felt that it was a little funny that both of them said that they were officials, after all, he was a super-grade earl, although he was embarrassed to call himself an official, but he also said "I" directly.
Wu Ciren sighed: "The lord was able to come, and the lower officials should have set up a banquet to entertain him, but it was just ......, but a few days ago, the little girl unfortunately died......
Yang Qiuchi was shocked: "What? Ling Yan died? …… Don't dare to ask Lord Wu, but the name of the concubine is Wu Qiaozhen? ”
Wu Ciren was slightly surprised, and said, "Exactly, I don't know how the lord knows?" ”
Yang Qiuchi didn't answer and asked: "Lord Wu, how did Ling Yan die?" Was it killed? ”
"Exactly, I don't know how the lord ......"
"Where did Ling Yan die?" Yang Qiuchi interrupted him.
"The third day of November."
Yang Qiuchi stood up suddenly, the time Wu Qiaozhen died that Wu Ciren said was the second day after the arrest of Cuihuan and Long Laohan, how could it be so coincidental? There must be a problem, but even if the Ship Gang Eyeliner in Enyang Town hears the news, it is impossible to rush from Bazhou to Chengdu in one day with the 800-mile Express!
Homing pigeon! Could it be that after the people of the boat gang got the news in Enyang Town, they informed the people of the Chengdu boat gang with carrier pigeons, and then the people of the Chengdu boat gang killed Wu Qiaozhen? If this is the case, Yang Qiuchi can only smile bitterly, he came to Chengdu with a horse and whip for thousands of miles, and the real suspect behind the assassination of him was actually killed.
Wu Ciren saw that Yang Qiuchi suddenly stopped and stood there stupidly thinking about something, so he stood aside and waited for him. The group of people behind him also stopped, quietly waiting for Yang Qiuchi to speak.
Yang Qiuchi's head was spinning rapidly, this time was too coincidental, in terms of time, if the two were connected, then he would arrest Cuihuan and Long Laohan, almost everyone in Enyang Town knew about it, and this could not be concealed, the eyeliner of the boat gang in Enyang Town must have told the people of the boat gang in Chengdu with the flying pigeon book.
How can we catch this tipper? Yang Qiuchi tilted his head and thought, there are thousands of households in Enyang Town, and there are countless pigeons, how can we find out whose pigeon is ventilating and reporting the news? Moreover, those who know the news do not necessarily use the pigeons in Enyang Town to transmit the information, but can send the news to the boat liaison in the village or other places, and they will transmit it.
It seems that the power network of the boat gang is still very large, and it is not easy for this person to find out.
Yang Qiuchi lowered his head and walked forward, Wu Ciren hurriedly followed, Yang Qiuchi realized that the political envoy Lord Wu was still following him, and hurriedly ordered Nangong Xiong to send guards out to buy white worship gifts, and then said apologetically: "Lord Wu, I came this time, I didn't know that such a big event happened in the house, it is really a bit presumptuous, please forgive me." ”
Wu Ciren hurriedly said a few polite words, led Yang Qiuchi to the living room, the living room was full of guests who came to mourn, Wu Ciren's introduction, it was actually all political leaders from all walks of life in Sichuan Province, there were Zuo Bu political envoy Hu Jian, criminal envoy Wang Lingkun, all commanded envoy Li Zhiye, Jinyi Wei Thousand Households Shen Shisheng is also here, and there are some adjutants such as Tongzhi, general judgment, and pusher.
As soon as everyone heard that this young man was the famous Earl Yang Qiuchi, they were all very surprised, and they greeted Yang Qiuchi one by one.
After the guests are seated. Serve fragrant tea.
Yang Qiuchi said: "Lord Wu, I waited for a hasty visit, but I didn't expect to encounter a tragic disaster for Ling Yan, which is really a sigh. After that, he glanced at Shen Shisheng from a distance. Shen Shisheng shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not found anything special.
Wu Ciren's eyes were red, he sobbed, and said: "The little girl died tragically, and the lower officials were sad and angry in their hearts, and they organized the arrest of the culprit, but their subordinates were all lowly people, and so far, they have not been able to arrest the culprit." ”
Yang Qiuchi said: "Lord Wu is in mourning, if there is a place where the younger brother needs to serve, Lord Wu will speak out." Yang Qiuchi saw that he was very polite to himself under the great mourning, and he had a good impression in his heart, seeing that he had already grown a gray beard, his words were more humble, and he called himself a little brother.
Wu Ciren didn't notice it when he was sad, he raised his head when he heard this, looked at Yang Qiuchi gratefully, and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"Little brother's heartfelt words, if you can help Master Wu a little bit, it will also be an honor for the little brother."
Wu Ciren hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Yang Qiuchi: "Thank you, sir!" If you can help each other, solve the case, and avenge the little girl, not only the lower official family is grateful for the kindness of the lord, but the little girl is in the spirit of the sky, and she will also feel the great kindness of the lord! ”
This is exactly what Yang Qiuchi wanted, he finally found the clues of the boat gang, and he touched Wu Qiaozhen here, but he didn't expect her to be killed suddenly, just by solving the murder case of Wu Qiaozhen, he found the clues of the boat gang.
Yang Qiuchi said a few words humbly.
At this time, the guards sent to buy condolence items returned, and Yang Qiuchi brought Song Yun'er, Hong Aya and others to the mourning hall and performed a memorial ceremony.
Out of the mourning hall, Yang Qiuchi asked Wu Ciren, "Where was Ling Yan killed?" ”
"In her bedroom." Wu Ciren replied.
"Is the bedroom cleaned?"
Although Wu Ciren is a political envoy who mainly deals with government affairs and a small number of civil disputes, he still knows how to protect the scene, and said: "No, after discovering that the little girl was killed, no one else has gone in except for the Chengdu Prefecture Arrest Kuai who has conducted a scene investigation and a corpse examination by the mother-in-law." ”
It was still damaged to a certain extent, and I just hope that the damage is not too severe. Yang Qiuchi ordered to call the arrest of the scene and the examination of the corpse. Then Wu Ciren led the way to Wu Qiaozhen's boudoir at the scene of the murder.
