Chapter 287: Arrest of Jiao Lanrong (1)
Jinyi Wei Nanya.
"Uncle took someone to inspect Su Xinzhai today." Sai Xiaoyu hugged his Persian cat, which never left his hand, sat straight opposite Guo Nu, and said slowly.
"He's moving pretty fast."
"Uncle really has a set of things, it seems that adults and the standard are too worried." Sai Xiaoyu lowered his head and stroked the Persian catway in his hand.
"This kid is young and vigorous, and he never cares about the consequences, Dongchang is staring at him now, and he will not be in trouble in the future." Guo said angrily.
"If my uncle investigates like this, sooner or later he will find out that person, my lord, are we going to ......" Sai Xiaoyu didn't continue, his eyes quietly aimed at Guo Nu's face.
Guo Nu's expression was stern at this time, this was also something he was worried about, once Meng Yan checked too much, the problem would be very strict.
"Once we stop it, he will immediately notice it, this kid is very keen and cunning, I really don't know how he came over the years in Beiyuan." Guo Nu shook his head slightly.
"We all thought that he would not come back, and it would be good to live a peaceful life in Beiyuan, marry a wife and have children, and then ......"
"Don't you want him back?"
"My lord, I've thought a lot about it over the years, and sometimes ignorance is actually a kind of happiness." After being silent for a long time, Sai Xiaoyu said slowly.
"Anyway, he's back now, and it's not something you and I can control." Guo said angrily.
"Yes, but my uncle is different from ordinary young people, although he is a little naΓ―ve in some ways. But he is a wise man, and he also knows how to advance and retreat and make trade-offs, and the only thing we have to do is to protect him! β
"He's my son-in-law now, am I going to hurt him?" Guo said angrily.
"Of course not, my fear, someone will!" Sai Xiaoyu said, "My uncle has been in distress several times, and both the harem and the East Factory have participated, so." If the uncle continues to stay in the court. His path is destined to be difficult! β
"That woman still won't stop?"
"If it were you, would you stop?" Sai Xiaoyu Road.
Guo Nu was silent, the relationship here is too complicated, it's just a mess. I can't figure it out. It's still going on and on.
"That's right. The uncle found a female corpse in Suxinzhai, and suspected that it might be Bai Suxin's Yahuan Xi'er. β
"Su Xinzhai found a female corpse?" Guo Nu was shocked.
East Plant.
"Godfather, that Meng Yan took people to Suxinzhai today." Cao Qin told Cao Jixiang with some weakness.
"You went too?"
The child heard the report from the people below. Immediately brought someone over. Cao Qin said, "The man surnamed Meng is so rampant, one of his subordinates actually beat my people." β
"You didn't have a conflict with him, did you?"
"There is no such thing, but this slap is in the face of our Dongchang, I can't swallow this breath!" Cao Qin said.
"Do you know that this morning, the Holy Lord personally summoned this Meng Yan, and when he left, he gave him a painting?" Cao Jixiang said, thinking of this, he was jealous, why, he also made great contributions to the court, why didn't he see the emperor give him a word?
Even Wang Zhen was a little sour when he heard the news at the time, although this character is not a death-free iron scroll, it can also become a family heirloom.
These benefits are all given by a yellow-mouthed boy.
"And this?"
"He's being favored now, so you have to be patient, as long as it's not too excessive, and try not to get into trouble with him!" Cao Jixiang said.
The power of the eunuchs comes from the emperor, and the fear of imperial power is engraved in their bones, the emperor favors Meng Yan, if he has to have a hard top with Meng Yan, then the first unlucky person is himself.
He is not convinced, and there are even more unconvinced than him!
"Godfather, there is one more thing, the one surnamed Meng found a female corpse in Suxinzhai!"
"Female corpse, where did the female corpse come from?" Cao Jixiang was surprised.
"This ......"
"Qin'er, do you know something, tell your godfather!" As soon as Cao Jixiang saw Cao Qin's expression, he knew that his godson must be involved.
"Godfather, what can I know, I haven't been to Suxinzhai!" Cao Qin's eyes dodged, obviously a little weak.
"Qin'er, don't deceive your godfather, this case is not trivial, if you really commit something in this case, even your godfather can't protect you!" Cao Jixiang asked sharply.
"Godfather, I didn't do anything except collect five hundred taels of silver from Jiao Hong." Cao Qin said.
"What, you took Jiao Hong's money, so you really have grievances in Bai Suxin's case?" Cao Jixiang was taken aback.
"Then Jiao Hong just wants to get the shop, not to mention Bai Suxin's adultery and murder, the evidence is conclusive, as long as she dies, this shop will naturally belong to the Jiao brothers and sisters!" Cao Qin said.
"Evidence can be forged, not to mention that Jiao Hong is a reporter and a witness, how do you know that what he said is true?"
"Godfather, this Jiao Hong is from our Dongchang, and their identity as sister and brother is still ......" Cao Qin leaned into Cao Jixiang's ear and said.
"What, how do you know about such a thing?" Cao Jixiang's face changed dramatically.
"It was Jiao Hong who told me personally."
"Why didn't you sue me before?" Cao Jixiang said angrily.
"It's not that the child doesn't tell you, the child is afraid that you will be involved, and the fewer people who know about it, the better, right?"
"You're pretty good at thinking about your godfather."
"The identity of the Jiao sisters and brothers, the child has never told anyone, if it wasn't for the godfather asking today, I wouldn't have said it." Cao Qin said.
"Well, you know this matter, you know it, and you can't mention it to a third party again, understand?" Cao Jixiang nodded, what Cao Qin did was not wrong.
"Godfather, the child understands!"
"By the way, Jiao Hong hasn't found it yet?"
"I was about to report to my godfather, Liang Shangfei missed, and he was injured, and his right hand was fractured, which is very strict." Cao Qin said.
"Isn't Liang Shangfei's light skill a must-have in the world, how could he miss. Still injured? Cao Jixiang said unhappily.
"Godfather, this surnamed Meng is also a master, Liang Shangfei may be a light enemy this time, but it also proves at least one point, this Meng Mansion is so heavily guarded, there must be something unsightly!" Cao Qin said.
"Even so, it doesn't mean anything."
"Godfather, Dongchang is about to turn the capital upside down, a big living person is gone, and the child really can't think of anything other than this surnamed Meng. Who else is so interested in him! Cao Qin gritted his teeth and said.
"What do you think?"
"According to reliable sources. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the surnamed Meng will take his concubine back to Songhe Tower to keep the New Year, at this time the Meng Mansion must be emptier than usual, and the child wants to take people in at this time to see. Cao Qin said.
"It's no small feat. Once discovered. You know the consequences. Cao Jixiang was a little moved. If Jiao Hong can really be found in Mengfu, then he will be able to turn passivity into initiative, which is better than being beaten passively now.
"Godfather. Ours naturally can't move, we have to use outsiders! Cao Qin said, over the years, Dongchang has not known how many outlaws have been secretly subdued to do things for them, and they don't need to do it themselves at all.
"Well, do you still plan to use that Liang Shangfei?"
"This is natural, he is familiar with the situation in the Meng Mansion, and he needs to lead the way when he enters the Meng Mansion this time!" Cao Qin said.
"No, don't use him this time, and don't tell him about your plans!" Cao Jixiang said.
"Godfather, why is that?"
"But you can't do it again, since the surname Meng can find Liang Shangfei once, you can find him a second time, so you can't use the old way this time!" Cao Jixiang said, "Liang Shangfei is useless." β
"Godfather is right, but none of us are familiar with the situation in the Meng Mansion?" Cao Qin said, "If you rush in, you may have casualties?" β
"Figuring out the reality of the Meng Mansion, some casualties are also worth it, not to mention, we are looking for someone, we must not miss!" Cao Jixiang said.
"Understood, godfather, I'll arrange it!"
Inspector Yamen.
Meng Yan came out of the interrogation room.
"Bring the people on this list back for investigation right away!"
"My lord, it's getting late, do you want to wait until tomorrow morning to send someone back?"
"Look at me, I'm in a hurry, it's too late today, I'll talk about it early tomorrow morning!" Meng Yan quickly withdrew the list and said.
came out, took a long breath, and suddenly saw that the lights were still on in Zhang Xuan's house, why didn't this guy go home at such a time?
"Skywalker?"
"Childe, what's the matter?"
"Where's Lady Rain?"
"Mrs. Rain is cooking porridge for you in the kitchen." Lin Tianxingdao.
"It's okay, you go to the kitchen to help, let Mrs. Yu boil more porridge out, and the people who work overtime in the yamen will have a bowl each." Meng Yan waved his hand.
"Knock Knock ......"
"It's so late, and Master Zhang hasn't come home yet?" Meng Yan gently knocked on Zhang Xuan's room door, pushed it open and asked.
"Master Meng's newlywed Yan'er, didn't he go home either?" Zhang Xuan was waiting to read the dossier, and when he looked up, he said with a stinky face.
"Master Zhang still thinks it's Meng who snatches love with a knife?" Meng Yan walked over with a smile, took a chair by himself, and sat down in front of Zhang Xuan.
"Xia Guan doesn't want to talk about this kind of personal emotional matter in the official office, if Lord Meng doesn't have any instructions, please go out, Xia Guan is handling official business!" Zhang Xuan didn't raise his head and gave an eviction order.
"I don't know what official business Lord Zhang is handling?" Meng Yan asked.
"Does the inspector have any other cases in the Yamen?"
"Hehe, I don't know how Lord Zhang checked?" Meng Yan sneered, this Zhang Xuan really took gunpowder, why did he speak so impulsively.
"There are some eyebrows."
"Oh, can you tell me about it?" Meng Yan also wanted to know what kind of thing this Zhang Xuan, who had been hiding in the house and reading the file for three days, could give him.
"In Bai Suxin's case, Dongchang once asked Bai Suxin's stepmother, that is, Bai Jiao's to learn some information about Bai Suxin, and in Bai Jiao's confession, Bai Suxin's stepdaughter was described by her as a prodigal and buoyant woman, and she had seduced her uncle Jiao Hong." Zhang Xuan said.
"Is there such a thing?"
"There is Bai Jiao's handwriting in this confession." Zhang Xuan found the confession and handed it to Meng Yandao.
Meng Yan took a look, and there was really such a narrative.
"So does Master Zhang think this confession is credible?" Meng Yan returned the confession to Zhang Xuandao.
"Jiao Hong is Bai Jiao's younger brother, it can be said that Bai Suxin seduces a man, but why do you say that she seduces Jiao Hong, then Jiao Hong is not a beautiful man, and Bai Suxin is as beautiful as a flower, and there is a good relationship, why did she seduce Jiao Hong, this is simply nonsense!" Zhang Xuan said angrily, "What's more, Jiao Hong is still Bai Suxin's nominal uncle, so she doesn't know how strict the impact of her doing such a thing will be on her future?" β
"What does Master Zhang mean is that this Bai Jiao clan is really lying and committing perjury?" Meng Yan nodded.
"Yes, since Jiao Hongren can't find it, let's start with this Bai Jiao clan, what do you think, Lord Meng?" Although Zhang Xuan was reluctant to discuss with Meng Yan, now that Meng Yan was his boss, it was impossible for him not to report to Meng Yan what he was going to do.
"What does Master Zhang want to do?"
"Bring Bai Jiao's back for questioning!" Zhang Xuan said.
"It's not a big problem to bring people back for questioning, but if you want to arrest them, you need to have conclusive evidence!" Meng Yan Road.
"Lord Meng wants to arrest Bai Jiao directly?" Zhang Xuan was suppressed by Meng Yan's boldness.
"Why not, Bai Jiao's is deeply involved in this case, and she has made perjury in her confession, as long as we search for evidence against her in Baifu, it will be logical to arrest her!" Meng Yan smiled.
"Search the White Mansion, what if you can't find any evidence?" Zhang Xuan said worriedly.
"Master Zhang should know that I just investigated the scene of Su Xinzhai's crime, and also found a female corpse, the identity of the female corpse has not been determined, but Bai Suxin has been living in Su Xinzhai since her father died, Su Xinzhai can be said to be her home, her own finances and the qiΔ left to her by her father are all in Su Xinzhai, and now this qiΔ is gone!"
"None?"
"Bai Suxin's case has not been finally decided, her private property can only be sealed as evidence, and cannot be inherited or sold, and there are no such things in the evidence handed over to us by Dongchang and the Criminal Department, so where did these things go?"
"Was it taken away by Bai Jiao's family?"
"It's still uncertain, maybe it's the East Factory that embezzled it?" Meng Yan Road.
"Dongchang swallowed it privately?" Zhang Xuan felt that his tongue was a little dry, this was tricky, if these things were swallowed by Dongchang, there would be fewer chances to get them back.
"If it is embezzled by Dongchang, then the official will recover it one by one, if not, only the Jiao sisters and brothers know the whereabouts of these things, Jiao Hong is nowhere to be found, then only the Bai Jiao family knows!"
When Bai Xinyuan made his will, he called Fang Zheng and his neighbors over to testify, and Su Xinzhai's property was left to Bai Suxin as a dowry.
This also avoids the Jiao sisters and brothers from competing with Bai Suxin for Su Xinzhai in the future, after all, the law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that only men have the right to inherit, but women do not, Bai Jiao's gave birth to a son to Bai Xinyuan, so her son is eligible to inherit the property of the Bai family, even if Bai Xinyuan makes a will, I am afraid it may not be useful.
But someone witnessed it, and the Jiao sisters and brothers could not tamper with or slander the authenticity of the will.
Therefore, even if Bai Suxin is sentenced by Dongchang, her property does not belong to Bai Jiao's, so if Bai Jiao's takes away the property in Su Xinzhai without permission, it is theft, and there is also a suspicion of stealing evidence.
If these things are found in the Bai family, it will be ironclad evidence. (To be continued......)
