Chapter 293: Purple Silk Pants (1)
Cao Qin knew that he wouldn't be able to go if he didn't go today, he had been forced to go to Liangshan by Meng Yan, of course, he might not know what Liangshan was, because "Water Margin" hadn't been born yet, hehe!
"Then there is Lord Lao Zhang!" Cao Qin clenched his fists slightly at Zhang Xuan, but his face was black and couldn't be darker.
"Master Cao can go alone, you all stay!" Meng Yan ordered Cao Qin's subordinates.
"What does Master Meng mean by this?" Cao Qin was on the verge of rage, he had never been so deflated as he was today, and there was nowhere to vent the anger in his belly.
"I don't have enough people here, and I want to ask them to stay and help, can't I?" Meng Yan said with a smile.
Cao Qin's face changed, this garden was full of brocade guards, and he said that there were not enough people, and he was not afraid that he would do something when he went to Hu's house?
This Meng Yan is simply strict against himself, and he doesn't give him any loopholes to exploit at all.
"Okay, you just stay and listen to Lord Meng's orders!" Cao Qin knew that if he didn't agree, he was afraid that Meng Yan would use force.
There are Jinyi guards all around, and there are only eight or nine people under him, and he is not an opponent at all, not to mention a tough confrontation with Meng Yan, his little trick is not an opponent at all.
"Thank you, Lord Cao!"
Cao Qin was soft, which was expected, and if he really resisted to the end, Meng Yan was also ready.
The relationship between this Cao Qin and the Jiao siblings is really incomprehensible!
Zhang Xuan also somewhat understood the reason why Meng Yan forcibly left Cao Qin's subordinates, that is, to prevent Cao Qin from having a chance to exploit loopholes.
Zhang Xuan took people and Cao Qin to escort Uncle Hu.
The big Bai family compound, except for the brocade guard. It is the descendants and family members of the Bai Jiao family and the Bai family.
"Everyone, bring back the patrol envoy to the yamen for questioning!" Meng Yan waved his hand and ordered.
"Whoa!"
"Uncle, Jiao Lanrong, this woman is not simple, you have to be careful!" Sai Xiaoyu had been watching coldly, and at this time, he walked to Meng Yan's side and reminded in a low voice.
"Is Uncle Sai talking about her dirty relationship with Cao Qin?" Meng Yan nodded.
"Uncle also saw it?"
"I'm just skeptical, but now it's certain that this Cao Qin is Jiao Lanrong's current concubine." Meng Yan said, "A few days ago. I've been here once. Jiao Lanrong had a tryst with Cao Qin at home, although I only saw the back, I clearly remember the pair of boots he was wearing, which were exactly the same as those Cao Qin wore today. ”
"Uncle is really careful to observe." Sai Xiaoyu sighed. "You let me come. Why did you rush here again? ”
"I mean. Now it is not appropriate for Jinyiwei to have a head-on conflict with Dongchang, it is better for me to be the bad guy! Meng Yan explained.
"What's the difference between you tearing your face with Dongchang and Jinyiwei tearing your face with Dongchang?"
"That's different, I haven't married Satsuki for a day. That can't be counted, and Dongchang won't think that Jinyiwei is ready to go to war with Dongchang! Meng Yan said.
"What does my uncle mean is that Jin Yiwei pushed my uncle out to face the East Factory, and then controlled him behind the scenes?"
"Yes, I just want to give Cao Jixiang and others this illusion, so that they don't know our details and don't dare to act rashly." Meng Yan said, "If I win, it means that Jinyiwei wins, and if I lose, it doesn't mean that Jinyiwei loses." ”
Sai Xiaoyu was silent.
"Uncle Sai, leave it to me here, you can retire with success." Meng Yan smiled.
"Well, okay, then I'll go first." Sai Xiaoyu nodded, and quickly withdrew from the Bai family with a large group of people.
"Son, this is a list of belongings confiscated from the Bai family, can you take a look?" Lin Tianxing took over the search.
"All the evidence related to this case will be taken away, and the property will be sealed!" Meng Yan gave an order.
"Yes, Childe." Lin Tianxing agreed.
"Has Jiao Hong's room been searched?" Meng Yan asked.
"I've searched and found nothing, do you want to take a look?" Lin Tianxing nodded.
"Well, go check it out!" Meng Yan nodded, he found the material fiber of purple silk under Bai Suxin's bed, although he couldn't be sure that it was Jiao Hong's, but he still had a glimmer of hope, if he could find the torn pants, it would have a catalytic effect on the investigation of the case.
The uncle of Jiao Hongbai's family has an independent courtyard and a maid, so his thugs are not counted.
"Son, this is Jiao Hong's room."
"Let's go inside!" Meng Yan nodded, pushed open the door, and walked in, there was no one living in the house for a few days, and there was still a smell in the house.
"Isn't Jiao Hong's room cleaned?"
"Yes, but every time I clean it, it's when Jiao Hong is there, Jiao Hong is not there, and no one is allowed to come in!"
"No wonder it smells so bad."
The furnishings in Jiao Hong's room are very ordinary, basically ordinary furniture, this guy has money, but he spends it outside, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, he is proficient in everything.
"My lord, we found some pawn tickets in the box, all of which are Jiao Hong's things from the pawnshop Li Dang over the years." Lin Tianxing took a stack of pawn tickets and walked over.
"Screen, all the things that have a vegetarian heart must be redeemed." Meng Yan commanded.
"Redeem it, my lord, it's a lot?" Lin Tianxing said, "There are still a lot of deaths?" ”
"No matter what method you use, everything that belongs to Su Xinzhai will be redeemed, and the money will be taken out from the money confiscated by the Bai family!" Meng Yan commanded.
"Oh, Childe!"
"Where is Jiao Hong's wardrobe?"
"That's a wardrobe, and there is a box in it, which contains clothes for summer, Jiao Hong, this guy is quite particular, and the clothes are all of the upper colors."
Meng Yan walked over, opened the wardrobe, and checked them one by one, Jiao Hong's clothes were indeed relatively expensive, and there were almost no bargains, this was really a guy who loved to show off, but he often went to places like Cuiyun Building, and he was too poorly dressed, so the girls didn't look down on him.
The box was locked, but it had been violently opened during the search. The clothes inside were also messed up.
However, this did not affect Meng Yan's inspection, he took out the clothes in the box one by one, and looked at them carefully, especially the dark clothes, which looked very carefully.
"Are Jiao Hong's clothes all here?"
"It's all here."
"Who takes care of Jiao Hong's clothes?" Meng Yan asked.
"His maid ring, Qiu Hong!"
"Is Qiu Hong here?"
"I was brought back to the yamen for questioning!" Lin Tianxingdao.
"Oh, I see, anything else you've found?" Meng Yan asked.
"Just now, I found half a box of silver under Jiao Hong's closet!"
"Inner Treasury Silver, where did this Jiao Hong get the Inner Treasury Silver?" Meng Yan was surprised, the inner treasury silver is generally not used at will. It is mostly used to reward ministers and nobles. It is rarely circulated in the market, and there are strict rules for huàn.
"I don't know, maybe it's accumulated over the years."
"yes, I see. You stay and put the seal on. I'll go back to the government first! Meng Yan commanded.
"Whoa!"
Bai Suxin's adultery and homicide case was retried. Su Xinzhai found a corpse of five women, and then the Bai family was seized, and Bai Jiao's was arrested!
This flurry of news. Suddenly erupting at the end of this orthodox decade is simply an eyeball!
The inspection of the capital made the yamen immediately remembered by the people of the capital.
Especially Meng Yan, the first inspector, made the people of the capital have a new topic at the beginning of the new year.
This seems to be more concerning than the victory of the imperial court in Luchuan.
Bao Dafang, Cuihua Hutong.
The huge Li Mansion, there are only two people, and this year is destined to be very deserted, if it weren't for Meng Yan ordering someone to send them New Year's goods and materials, this year, the Li Mansion would not know how to spend this year.
In fact, Li Xiong never thought about celebrating the New Year in the capital at all.
"Master, master......"
After seven or eight days of recuperation, coupled with the injury medicine sent by Meng Yan, Li Xiong's injuries recovered well, and there was no problem with his basic movements.
He wiped the tablets of his wife and son over and over again, a good home, his son was gone, his wife was dead, if it weren't for revenge, Li Xiong would have wanted to die a long time ago, and went to Huangquan with his wife and children.
"Ah Hui, what's the matter?"
"Master, good news, good news...... old man said excitedly.
"What's the good news?" Li Xiong barely squeezed out a smile, what good news is there for him now?
"Master, today the inspector made the yamen announce that they want to re-investigate the case of Bai Suxin's murder, they have re-investigated Su Xinzhai, and also found an unknown female corpse, this morning, the inspector of the yamen's Lord Zhang led people to raid the Bai family, and took away everyone including Bai Jiao's family!" The old man Ah Hui said like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
"What did you say, the inspector made the yamen arrest Bai Jiao's family?" Li Xiong was shocked all of a sudden, even he was extremely surprised by this news, he investigated Jiao Hong, and he also knew a little about Bai Jiao's family, what kind of woman was that woman in the way of nature.
"Master, Bai Jiao's has been arrested!" The old man said, "Now this news has spread on the market, and the whole city is a sensation." ”
"Ah Hui, prepare the horse, no, prepare the car, don't ......" Li Xiong was also excited.
"Master, where are you going?" The old man asked.
"Wait a minute, let me think about it, think about it......" Li Xiong closed his eyes and forcibly calmed his feelings.
After about a cup of tea, Li Xiongcai breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Ah Hui, you prepare, I'm going to Jinyi Wei Nanya!" ”
"Master, what are you doing in Jinyiwei?" The old man Ah Hui was puzzled.
"Don't ask, prepare the car, change your clothes, and go to Nanya!" Li Xiong commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!" The old man didn't ask much.
When he returned to the inspection envoy's yamen, the first thing Meng Yan did was to order the following to find Xiaoyuan, the girl who took care of Jiao Hong's life!
"Miss Xiaoyuan, there is something this official wants to ask you, you have to answer truthfully, understand?"
"The folk girl understands!" Xiao Yuan nodded.
"In the Bai family, are you taking care of the life of your uncle Jiao Hong?" Meng Yan asked.
"Yes, sir!"
"Then Jiao Hong's change of clothes was also cleaned and sorted out by you?"
"Yes!"
"This official, please recall, did Jiao Hong have a purple silk pants or robe that you asked to sew or dispose of after being scratched?" Meng Yan asked.
"Purple silk pants ......," Xiao Yuan lowered his head and thought hard.
"If you think about it, not necessarily this year, maybe last year?" Meng Yan is good at seduction.
"Master, I remember, my uncle does have a pair of purple silk pants, my uncle likes it very much, but I don't know where it was scratched, I originally wanted to sew it up, but the hole was too obvious, so I gave it to me!"
"Here you go?"
"Uncle stopped wearing some old clothes, and gave them to us, and the silk pants broke a small hole, and I mended them and gave them to my brother."
"Gave it to your brother?" Meng Yan was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, it's silk, although it's broken, my brother is reluctant to wear it, and only wears it during the New Year's holiday!" Xiaoyuan said.
"So, these silk pants are still in your brother's hands?"
"Yes, in the box at my brother's bedside!" Xiao Yuan said very seriously.
"Miss Xiaoyuan, great, can you take this official to your brother's house?" Meng Yan wanted to laugh excitedly.
This is really nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes, Jiao Hong, if you don't speak, the official can't help you?
"Sir, do you want to arrest my brother?"
"No, the official just wants to take a look at the purple silk pants, not to catch your brother, you can rest assured!" Meng Yan assured. (To be continued......)
