Chapter 163: The Reason for Fornication
The maid stared at the poem on the wall again, and stopped talking.
"Say whatever you want." Xiao Jiading said.
"Why does Xiao Gongzi want to compose poems on the wall? Because he was worried that others would see him, he avoided others to have a private meeting with the young lady, and if he wrote poems on the wall, wouldn't everyone else know about it? Then if the old man knows what is going on and asks the young lady what is going on, what should the young lady say? ”
Xiao Jiading nodded slowly and said, "It's a little strange." He stepped forward again, read the poem again, and said, "Are you sure this poem was written by the one surnamed Xiao?" ”
"Well, that's right. He wrote poems to the young lady, and the young lady hid them in the secret compartment of the study, and when she took them, she could see the truth. ”
"Okay, you go and get it for me."
The maid quickly went to Xiao Jiading with a book of poems from the study, and said, "Xiao Gongzi said that this is his handwriting, and it is reserved for the young lady to practice calligraphy." ”
Xiao Jiading took it and compared it with the poems on the wall, and it really matched.
Why did this person surnamed Xiao write this poem in the young lady's boudoir despite others discovering their private affairs? And after writing it, he died in the boudoir. What's going on here? What's going on in the boudoir tonight?
At this time, Wen Po, who was in charge of the autopsy of the eldest lady of the Qu family, came back and said that the inquest had been completed. The eldest lady of the Qu family only had a cut on her neck, which was also a fatal injury. There were no obvious external injuries to other parts of the body, and there were no resistance injuries. There is no trace of rape, and the eldest lady of the Qu family is still a virgin.
The results of this inquest proved the maid's statement, although this Xiao Gongzi had a reputation as a flower thief and a thief, he did not expect that he was a polite and upright gentleman.
Since the eldest lady of the Qu family has no enemies, it is simple, so she will find it from Xiao Soul. Since this person has a bad reputation as a thief, the enemy is absolutely indispensable. I'm afraid it's not easy to check, but there is no other way but to bite the bullet.
But who to investigate? I am not familiar with the so-called people in the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid that my subordinates are not much better than themselves. Because it is said that people in the rivers and lakes are not very willing to deal with people in the government.
It seems that the only way to find Huiyi is to take charge, although they are monks, but they are standard people in the rivers and lakes, they can also investigate through their networks, so that the results will be more accurate and faster.
Xiao Jiading said to Liu County Ling and Huang Zhutou: "This case is likely to be done by the enemy of this lewd thief Xiao Soul, and now we need to find out who his enemies are, and then investigate them one by one." It's been a long job, and I can't stay and help you. However, I can write a letter to the head of the Emei faction. Ask them to help you investigate, and I'll tell you what the results are. You can also do your own research in this area, both of which are two-pronged. ”
Liu Xianling hurriedly agreed, and expressed his gratitude vigorously.
The next day, Xiao Jiading set off to return to Yizhou, and Liu Xianling personally sent it to the Changting outside the city, and then waved goodbye.
Back at home in Yizhou, they were naturally very happy. But he didn't wait for Xiao Jiading to sit down. Crazy Mei told him that the princess had just sent someone to explain, saying that as soon as Xiao Jiading came back, he would ask him to go to the palace to see her immediately.
Xiao Jiading had no choice but to immediately change to the carriage hired by his family and go to the palace.
The porter has been accounted. Immediately, he was respectfully invited to Princess Yang's courtyard.
When Princess Yang saw him, she was not in a hurry to say something, but just asked him how the case was going. Xiao Jiading told the case of Tongyun and Tonghui. Hearing Xiao Jiading say that she introduced Tongyun to Emei Mountain to practice, she was very satisfied. The Emei faction is a big faction in the rivers and lakes, and the apprentices are very strict, and the martial arts and Zen are very profound. She can come here and practice. It can be regarded as a good home. As for Tonghui, the princess was very disgusted with the fornication between men and women, so she didn't want to release it, but since she had made a major contribution to this case, and she married the adulterer and had a child, she was released and released, so she didn't say anything.
After Xiao Jiading finished talking about the matter, Princess Yang said the intention of letting Xiao Jiading come, she said: "I was just very annoyed about the affair between this slut of the Lu family and Zhong Wenbo, but now that I think about it, I feel that it is very strange. Although the Lu family's appearance is not ugly, at best, it is only passable, not even beautiful. When the prince married her, it was only because of the need to marry her family, not because of her talent. That Zhong Wenbo is also the first talent in Yizhou, he can be regarded as both talented and good-looking, and he is also personable, there should be no shortage of beautiful women around him, can he seduce a mediocre-looking but noble side princess? If he seduces the princess, he is not afraid of being killed or even his family? So I didn't understand the reason when I thought about it, so I called you here just to ask you to help me find out, what is the reason for this? ”
Xiao Jiading thought secretly in his heart, Princess Lu's appearance can be regarded as beautiful, not that Princess Yang said that she is not even beautiful. However, if a person hates others, he will not think that he is good. Especially women.
However, Princess Yang's doubts are not unreasonable. Although this Princess Lu is still beautiful, she is indeed not a country and a city, nor has it reached the point of being fascinated. But her identity is very special, she is a princess, a member of the royal family, and she will be executed if she hooks up with an ordinary woman, and if you want to hook up with a member of the royal family, you have to lose your head, and it takes a lot of courage. Which tendon is wrong with this Zhong Wenbo, to seduce a princess? He himself is just the son of a little Fa Cao, and in the eyes of the royal family, he is not even a sesame official, and he actually seduces the princess of the side, if it is not the essence worm who is obsessed with the brain, or there is another secret in it!
However, Xiao Jiading is still inclined to the former, men, radish and cabbage have their own love, Wang Ba has a good eye for mung beans, he likes to play exciting, the family members of ordinary officials can no longer arouse his interest, and he feels excited to seduce the princess, why is he such a person!
thought so in his heart, but Xiao Jiading didn't say it, since Princess Yang had an order to let her investigate, then investigate.
Xiao Jiading thought for a while and said: "The Lu family has died of a violent illness, and Zhong Wenbo has disappeared again, this is a headless case, how to investigate?" ”
Princess Yang actually regretted it very much, she only thought of this problem after the fact, when she learned that they had colluded with adultery and tarnished the name of the prince, she executed the two of them in anger, and did not carefully inquire about what they wanted to forfeit fornication. So he smiled and said: "You're right, now you have to find out, I'm afraid it's not easy." I also know this. You just need to do your best, it's good to be able to find out, but there's no way to find out.
Xiao Jiading was relieved to have this sentence, nodded, and said, "It's good, I will try my best to check." ”
Princess Yang said again: "As soon as the funeral of the Lu family is over, the prince will continue to record the prisoner, and you will continue to handle the case I gave you." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to do a good job."
"You're very good at things and have a lot of ideas. Luckily, it should be possible. ”
Xiao Jiading thought to himself, the first two sentences are fine, and the last sentence is lucky, and it is not bad. Take the current case as an example, investigating the case of Tonghui assigned by the princess, it turned out that Tongyun's case was an unjust case, and the case of Princess Lu and Zhong Wenbo's fornication was further investigated. removed a piece of heart disease for Princess Yang. What is it if it's not luck?
After saying goodbye from the palace, Xiao Jiading returned home.
Crazy Mei has already asked Nenzhu and Yunyan to make a table of good dishes, and prepared good wine for him to catch the wind and wash the dust. Crazy Mei and Su Yunxia sat next to him on the left and right, Xiao Jiading asked about the construction site, Su Yunxia said that everything was going well on the construction site of the shop on the street, and it was expected to be completed in June. And the sown pepper seeds have already begun to germinate and grow very well.
Crazy Mei told Xiao Jiading a very happy thing, that is, the official document that the imperial court was going to build the Jinjiang flood control embankment had arrived at the county office. Huang Dong, the new director of the workshop, that is, Huang Shiyun's father, has already said that most of the stone mountains and barren slopes on both sides of this flood control embankment belong to Xiao Jiading, so he asked Xiao Jiading to sign a contract for quarrying stones and earthwork after he returns.
Xiao Jiading smiled from ear to ear, this was a windfall that Tang Lin gave himself. After the money is in place, then the corresponding other things will be easy to do, and the horse farm will also have money to open. Xiao Jiading told Crazy Mei about the opening of the horse farm, and asked Crazy Mei to go with him when the time came, and set up this horse farm in the name of Crazy Mei.
Crazy Mei didn't know the inside story of Lu Dao, so she didn't know why Xiao Jiading wanted to go to Jinzhou to start a horse farm, but just like what she didn't know before that she wanted to buy such a stone mountain and barren slope, now she knows that there is a deep meaning in Lu Dao. So even though I had doubts in my heart, I didn't ask any more.
Just finished eating, and was sitting and talking, the porter Lao Huo Tou came in to report that the wife and children of the county Yakang County Order were here.
Xiao Jiading was very surprised, why did the wife and child of the county order come?
Crazy Mei smiled and said, "Mrs. Kang is here to play mahjong!" ”
"Oh? She also plays mahjong? ”
"Well, I taught her. She liked it right away and often came to me to play mahjong. ”
The Xiao family was happy, and they didn't expect that Crazy Mei would also carry out lady diplomacy. Busy with the plum out to greet.
As soon as Mrs. Kang's son Kang Xuan saw Xiao Jiading, he immediately ran over happily, and said like an adult: "Sir! You're back, I've practiced the catkins you taught, see how well I've practiced? ”
Mrs. Kang doted on the child, so she didn't stop him.
Kang Xuan immediately pulled out the frame and practiced, this little guy has a good understanding and plays decently.
Xiao Jiading was pointing at Kang Xuan here, and Mei Mei was already holding her hand affectionately and walking in. Mrs. Kang said that she was sorry, but she didn't know that Xiao Jiading had come back today, so she really shouldn't be disturbed. Xiao Jiading and Crazy Mei didn't even say that it was okay. Mrs. Kang also said that Lian County Cheng of the county government and Mrs. Wen also wanted to learn to play mahjong, so she would bring them to learn together another day. Crazy Mei naturally happily agreed. (To be continued......)
