After Ye Heng and Luo Ying left, Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu glanced at each other, and then both of them laughed.

"Haha......"

Zhang Shixun said to Yan Shu: "Uncle Tong, this is the first time you have laughed since the violent death of a student in Jiangning, how about it?" Could it be that the person recommended by Chen Lao really convinced you? ”

Yan Shu looked at Zhang Shixun and said, "Didn't the adults laugh too?" However, this Ye Zhizhi seems to have a calm temperament, which does not quite match his age, and judging from his inferences and poems, it seems that he has real talent and learning. Hehe...... If he can solve the case this time, then speaking of which, the old man owes him a favor! ”

"Is it just you?"

Chen Yaozuo shook his head, and then asked, "I'm afraid that I, the prefect of Jiangning, will also have to accept his affection?" But if he can really solve the case of the two murders, the old man is willing to admit his love! ”

"That's right!"

Yan Shu nodded, the two of them smiled, and went back to their residences.

Early the next morning, Zhang Shixun sent someone to invite Yan Shu and said to Yan Shu: "Uncle Tong, the old man has ordered the people who inspect the yamen to go to the Splendid Inn to standby, and we will go over now?" ”

Yan Shu nodded, but when they walked to the Splendid Inn, they saw that the inn was full of people, and there were many scholars.

Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu glanced at each other, and their first reaction was...... Something is wrong!

Is it another homicide?

Hurriedly asked the officials to step forward to separate the crowd, Zhang Shixun came directly to the Splendid Inn, looked around at everyone but Ye Heng was gone, and asked Jiang Ning Inspector, "What's wrong?" ”

The inspector's face was very ugly, and he stepped forward and replied: "Lord Hui, last night someone saw Gongsun Yang, the son of the prefect of Luzhou, fall from the roof of Miaoyu Tower, and then drown!" ”

"Who? Gongsun Yang? Zhang Shixun frowned, what made him frown was because of Gongsun Yang's identity.

Yan Shu frowned and asked, "But is it the son of Gongsun Yu of Luzhou?" ”

"Exactly!" The inspector nodded, and now he was sweating profusely, but he still reported truthfully: "Lord Huiyu, according to eyewitnesses, Gongsun Yang entered Miaoyu Tower at the end of last night, and the people who traveled with him ...... But it was the floating corpse that had just been confirmed yesterday, student Li Yucheng! ”

"What?"

Zhang Shixun was taken aback and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Back to my lord!" The inspector said resignedly: "The lower officials don't know what's going on, it stands to reason that Li Yucheng should have been killed a few days ago, but last night someone saw him and Gongsun Yang in the Miaoyu Building together, and they still went upstairs together...... But after the incident, there was no trace of Li Yucheng in Miaoyu Tower! ”

How could someone who was already dead still stand up and go in and out of the green building with others?

Yan Shu's face was pale, and when the inspector saw it, he knew that Yan Shu was going to scold him for believing in ghosts again, so he stepped forward again and said: "Two adults, the lower officials have already taken Miaoyulou under control, and all the courtesans and female prostitutes in it have been sent to watch the officials, and the ** Zi Qiu Hong has been taken into custody." However, Xia Guan learned about another situation, just yesterday...... A big event happened in Miaoyu Building, Li Xiangyun, a famous prostitute in Hangzhou, came to challenge Oiran Su Qing'er, and Gongsun Yang was also in Miaoyu Lou at that time, and he also had a conflict with the two......"

The inspector was afraid of being scolded, so he told Ye Heng and Gongsun Yang about the conflict in Miaoyu Building in one breath, and also said that Su Qing'er, the later Oiran, swore on the spot that he would be good.

After hearing the description of the inspection, Yan Shu frowned and asked, "Where are Ye Heng and Su Qing'er?" ”

The inspector said: "Su Qing'er is said to have left Miaoyu Tower yesterday afternoon, and Ye Heng ...... It has already been sued by the lower officials. ”

"Nonsense!" Yan Shu glanced at him, and then said: "Ye Heng is a magistrate of this mansion, how can he kill someone?" ”

The inspector replied, "But...... This person has a motive to commit the crime! ”

"You mean, there was a conflict between Ye Heng and Gongsun Yang yesterday?" Yan Shu shook his head, and then he picked up the two poems composed by Gongsun Yang and Ye Heng respectively, threw them to the inspector, and then said: "Look for yourself, the two poems are judged, why does Ye Heng still kill people?" Besides, whether Ye Heng killed anyone or not, you can find out if you ask someone! ”

After that, Yan Shu found the official who was on duty in the Splendid Inn last night, and when he asked about Ye Heng's movements last night, the two officials said together: "My lord, Ye Gongzi got up and went to the thatched house once last night, and he was ...... at that time."

"Say!" Yan Shu's face sank.

He originally thought that Ye Heng really had something unusual last night, so Ye Heng would really be unable to get out of it, but he didn't expect the two officials to look at each other, and then he said: "At that time, the two of us were very difficult......

Another official replied: "Especially the villain, he fell asleep when he climbed on the bluestone, and then Ye Gongzi passed by, he frowned, and woke up the villain, and then led the villain to his room, and the villain fell asleep on Ye Gongzi's bed!" ”

"Not bad!" The previous official continued: "Ye Gongzi said that he didn't like to go to bed early, and laughed at the villain for dozing off when he was on duty at night, and it would be bad if someone saw him report to the adult, and then Ye Gongzi accompanied the villain in the courtyard until he woke up later, so he changed the villain to rest for an hour......"

"So, you all took the opportunity to rest last night and let Ye Heng accompany the two of you to watch the night?" Yan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Zhang Shixun, who also laughed easily.

The two officials replied, "No...... Adult, after the villain also woke up, Ye Gongzi went back to the room to sleep, but at that time, at least it was already past the time, right? ”

"Did you hear that?" Zhang Shixun glanced at the inspection, and then scolded: "Ye Heng has alibi evidence, what do you mean by accusing him without investigating anything?" ”

The inspector Khan hurriedly replied: "The lower official was negligent, which made people let him go!" ”

"Hmm!"

Yan Shu nodded, and then said: "Send someone else to invite Su Qing'er to inquire, although she left Miaoyulou yesterday afternoon, but I am afraid that this case will not be involved!" Hmph, it turned out that the official thought that the murder in this splendid inn was only aimed at the scholars who came to take the exam, and now this Gongsun Yang is also dead, I am afraid that this matter will be serious, so you must hurry up and solve the case! In addition, over there in Luzhou, you have to send someone to bring the news over quickly! ”

"It's nature!"

Zhang Shixun nodded, and then said: "Uncle Tong, the old man remembers that Gongsun Yu is in the same department as you, right?" Why don't you write a letter to Luzhou? ”

Yan Shu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded!
