Chapter 12: Honesty
For Ye Heng, Hongshang's care and support still touched him a little.
As a modern person, after returning to ancient times, I saw with my own eyes the steadfastness and persistence of ancient women in Hongshang's body, in addition to the spiritual touch, what made Ye Heng sigh was the kind of indescribable feelings.
Hongshang, fifteen years old, still a little green, but in Ye Heng's opinion, if there is only one person in the world who is still sincere to Ye Heng, then this person must be her!
So in the eyes of outsiders, Ye Heng is very spoiled by Hongshang, for example, when Hongshang is so worried, Ye Heng will always patiently persuade her.
"Don't worry, it's just an investigation, what's the big deal?"
"But...... Young master, the murder case, someone was killed, this is not a joke! ”
"Yes, I know!"
Ye Heng smiled, then looked at Lu Hongsleeve, who was watching coldly, and finally said to them: "You have also seen that the investigation of the case is not my business alone, and it is ...... Brother Luo and I went to Jiangning, at best, to make up the numbers. Although Jiangning Mansion asked us to say that it was an investigation in the past, in fact, it was just a collection of ideas! You guys, don't worry. ”
"Who's worried about you?"
Lu Hongsleeve thought for a while, and then said, "I just came to ask the girl in the red dress, if you want to go back to the room tonight......"
"Huh?"
Hongshang's face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Of course Hongshang is going back to the room to sleep, Sister Redsleeves!" ”
Perhaps distracted by Lu Hongsleeve's cold words, Hongshang embarrassedly followed Lu Hongsleeve back to the room, Ye Heng looked at her back and smiled, then fell on the bed, holding his hands behind his head and began to think.
The deceased, Cui Sanyuan, male, 21 years old, lived in Qixia Town, Jiangning Prefecture. Cui Sanyuan's parents died a few years ago, without a wife or children, some fertile land at home, and a wealthy family, and died in the Jinxiu Inn in Jiangning Mansion on September 14. When he dies, the muscles in the inner cavity of the mouth and nose are constricted, and the eyes bulge out, and he cannot bare his eyes. and lay flat on the bed with his legs clamped, and it was preliminarily concluded that he died of suffocation......
The records on the dossier are almost these contents, and Ye Heng was puzzled at this time.
Lying flat with his legs tightened, that is to say, this Cui Sanyuan did not struggle when he died.
People who suffocated and died without struggling? This doesn't make sense!
Ye Heng shook his head, but now he didn't know much about the situation, and after thinking about it, he still didn't speculate too much, so as to avoid his preconceived ideas that would affect his judgment of the case.
In fact, Ye Heng had a curious attitude about investigating the case or something, after all, this was something that he could not have come into contact with before he crossed over, and Chen Yuqing asked him to come to Jiangning, in fact, he also wanted to see if Ye Heng had real skills.
Otherwise, how could a dignified Zhizhou send a fourteen-year-old person to deal with it when he was summoned by Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu?
With this reason, coupled with his own curiosity, Ye Heng decided that this case must find a way to find out.
Of course, Ye Heng didn't set any goals for himself or anything like that, in fact, Ye Heng didn't want to touch these depressing things, but he finally crossed over, how good is it to live a little easier and be free?
So in the end, Ye Heng said to himself: "Don't be reluctant, if you really can't do it, forget it, anyway, it's not your own business to investigate the case!" ”
This mentality is a bit contradictory, but it is also Ye Heng's normal thoughts.
After resting in Danyang for a night, Ye Heng and the others continued to hurry early the next morning.
When he saw Hongshang in the morning, Ye Heng saw that all of her eyes had dark circles, and he knew that this girl must have been thinking about it last night and hadn't slept all night, so he touched her head affectionately and said, "Don't hold on when you're in a hurry, get some sleep!" ”
"Hmm!"
Hongshang nodded, she hesitated, and finally didn't say anything.
After returning to the room last night, she was still worried, and she had the idea of asking Ye Heng not to investigate the case, but when she told Lu Hongsleeve about this idea, Lu Hongsleeve's words made her hesitate.
Lu Hongsleeve said to her: "Sister Hongsheng, how could you let him give up? I don't think he should give up! ”
"Sister Red Sleeves, that's a murder, will it be dangerous if the young master investigates it?" That's what Red Dress is worried about.
"Danger? I don't know ......" Lu Hongsleeve shook his head, but he still comforted Hongsheng in his mouth: "Don't worry, even if there is danger, Uncle Hu and I will follow him, it's okay!" Hehe...... Uncle Hu used to be a head catcher! ”
"Really?" Hearing Lu Hongsleeve say that he could protect Ye Heng, this made Hongshang very happy.
"Hmm!"
Lu Hongsleeve nodded, and then said, "This time, your young master, if you can really solve this case, then ...... Your young master will definitely be able to go to high school in the township exam, so I said, you shouldn't let him give up! ”
"As long as you can solve the case, you can go to high school?"
Hearing Lu Hongsleeve's words, all the worries in Hongsheng's heart were dispelled!
Of course, the red dress is the red dress, although I heard that the success or failure of this matter may be related to the future of the young master, but I am still a little worried about Ye Heng's personal safety.
So she spent a night in a tangled way, and the guide didn't sleep all night.
When the carriage entered Jiangning City, it was dinner time.
"Hold on, should we go to the yamen, or should we find a place to live by ourselves?"
Coming to the streets of Jiangning Mansion, Luo Ying asked Ye Heng's opinion: "I don't know yet, as far as I know, like us, the officials who have been transferred, Jiangning Mansion has arranged accommodation!" ”
"Then go to the Yamen!" Ye Heng smiled and said, "Since there is an arrangement, why spend that unjust money?" ”
Luo Ying smiled, then took out two silver ingots from his arms and gave them to Ye Heng, while saying: "This time, the two adults are also generous, saying that we should not lose the face of Changzhou, even if we can't find out the case, we should not be too provincial, lest others say that our Changzhou Yamen is shabby!" Oh, take it, here's a hundred taels! ”
"One hundred taels!"
Ye Heng was a little tongue-smacking, in this era, the benefits of going out on business are so good?
After giving the silver to Ye Heng, Luo Ying said: "A total of two hundred taels, put half of it on each of us, and the flowers will definitely not be spent...... How much is left in the end, let's go back and hand it in honestly! ”
Hearing Luo Ying's words, Ye Heng looked at Luo Ying differently, originally he thought that Luo Ying would say that the endless silver would be divided in half, but he didn't expect that Luo Ying's thoughts would be so frank!
