Chapter 507: Brother and Lover
Gu Changtian concluded: "The thief moved extremely quickly, this robbery of the gold shop was obviously premeditated, and the thief must have an inside line, otherwise the target will definitely not be so accurate, so the lower official and the master Si both think that there must be an inside line of robbers in the Jinyufang head office, and then we told Boss Niu to pay attention to the guy who is ready to ask for leave or quit his job recently, but Boss Niu recently grabbed Cai Qiang and escorted him to Daxing County, and was bumped into by Lord Duan, who refused to admit his guilt and shouted for Lord Duan to investigate the case himself, which was really unwise in the eyes of the lower officials. ”
Duan Fei found that Gu Changtian's tone seemed to be hostile, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Lord Gu thinks that Cai Qiang is the robber's insider?" ”
Gu Changtian said categorically: "Yes, Cai Qiang happened to be on shift at the time of the crime, but he asked the big shopkeeper for leave and left work in advance less than half an hour before the robbers rushed in to rob, and it seemed that he had already predicted that the gold shop would be robbed, this is one, second, he said that he had a stomachache and asked to get off work early, and no one knew his whereabouts until half an hour later, the guy in the shop saw him return to the residence with a package from outside, this morning he told Boss Niu that the old lady at home was sick and wanted to go home for a few days, after Boss Niu ordered someone to take him down, Found a large bag of silver under his pillow, more than a hundred taels, Cai Qiang couldn't earn so much for ten years as a buddy, not to mention that when he asked him about the origin of the silver, Cai Qiang was speechless, and there was no way for this silver, this is suspicious person three, if one or two points can be explained as a coincidence, this third point is undoubted, Cai Qiang must be a traitor, these silver must be his share of the spoils, Lord Duan, the above is the analysis of the lower officials, I don't know if Lord Duan can object? ”
Princess Yongfu hurriedly replied: "Do you still need to ask?" There must be something wrong with this Cai Qiang, uh...... What do you think, Lord Duan? ”
Duan Fei touched his chin and said, "Master Gu has analyzed it meticulously, and it doesn't leak, and the official can't think of anything wrong......"
The corners of Gu Changtian's mouth twitched, revealing a hint of self-satisfaction, but Duan Fei continued: "But...... Now that the facts are so clear, Cai Qiang can confess? ”
Gu Changtian said: "Lord Duan, Cai Qiang refuses to recruit, and the official plans to punish him, but Master Si thinks it is safer to come and ask Lord Duan for advice, so we came over." ”
Duan Fei snorted and said, "What does Master Gu think of Cai Qiang's IQ?" Does it look like a fool? ”
Gu Changtian shook his head and said, "This person seems to be quite loyal and honest, but I didn't expect to be so treacherous and cunning in his bones." ”
Duan Fei shook his head and said, "If he is really treacherous and cunning, how can he be found out so easily?" He should know the name of this official, and he should also know the severity of Jinyiwei's torture, and ask this official to investigate his case, isn't he asking for his own hardship? Master Gu, a normal person, how could he be so stupid? ”
Gu Changtian hesitated for a moment, and Princess Yongfu applauded and shouted: "Yes, I originally thought that Lord Gu's analysis was already flawless, but I didn't expect Lord Duan to say this, and I suddenly felt that this Cai Qiang didn't look like a traitor." ”
Gu Changtian hesitated for a moment and argued, "Then how do you explain the bag of silver?" If Cai Qiang didn't do anything wrong, why didn't he explain the origin of the silver? ”
Duan Fei smiled and said: "I haven't asked Cai Qiang, I don't know why he refuses to say, but let me ask, if he is really a traitor, and his accomplices robbed five million worth of jewelry, he will only get two hundred taels of silver?" This is obviously impossible, although Cai Qiang is a little poor, he will not take such a big risk for a mere two hundred taels, right? ”
"Yes, yes, it's less than two hundred taels, Cai Qiang won't be so stupid." Princess Yongfu applauded and laughed.
Everyone invariably ignored the words of this little master, Gu Changtian frowned, thinking about Duan Fei's words, Si Gongcheng coughed and said with a smile: "Lord Duan's analysis is very reasonable, and Xia Guan also thinks that this Cai Qiang is not like a traitor, who just made such a big case, and dared to leave with such a big bag of silver?" According to me, Cai Qiang must have gotten some silver out of nowhere, but he didn't dare to open his mouth because of another secret, Changtian, you should believe it now, right? ”
Gu Changtian nodded and said: "The two adults are really smart, and the officials admire them, but if Cai Qiang is not a traitor, who is a traitor?" Who did this case? Lord Duan, this case ......"
Duan Fei said: "This case is not suitable for the official to come forward for the time being, the two of you please return here, and declare to the outside world that the official does not want to meddle in things, you think Cai Qiang is a traitor, after torture to extract a confession, Cai Qiang confessed that his accomplices have escaped from the capital, and then you issued an announcement to be wanted everywhere, as for the capital, you don't have to worry about it, Jinyi Wei will scout and ride out, as long as someone tries to get rid or wants to abscond with stolen goods, it is not difficult to be caught." ”
Si Gongcheng praised: "Lord Duan's good trick, so those robbers will definitely think that everything is fine, and they will start to get rid of the stolen goods, and they will naturally be caught!" ”
Duan Fei smiled slightly, and said: "It may not be possible to catch the bandits, after all, people may not be in a hurry to sell the stolen goods, the two of you must not leak the news, and then bring a message to Boss Ma, the official will go to the Ma family tonight to visit secretly, and by the way, investigate the case for him." ”
Si Gongcheng praised: "Lord Duan, you have been subdued, such a two-pronged approach, are you still afraid that the thief will not be caught?" In that case, then the officials and others will retire for the time being......"
"The two of you go slowly, the official won't send ......" Duan Fei brought tea to the guests, and Princess Yongfu said in surprise: "You just let them go like this?" Aren't we going to investigate the case? ”
Duan Fei yawned and said, "This official is sleepy, Her Royal Highness the princess wants to investigate the case, let's wait until later, and remember that when the adults speak, the subordinates can't interject casually, otherwise I won't take you there." ”
Princess Yongfu stomped her feet and said, "Okay, I'll come back in time, Xiaoqian, let's go home!" ”
Princess Yongfu left angrily, and Su Rong said worriedly: "Childe, is it too much for you to talk to the princess like this?" ”
Duan Fei said lazily: "I wish she would ignore me, but unfortunately it didn't work, you can go tonight, I don't want to be alone with her." ”
Su Rong touched her stomach and said helplessly: "Okay, alas, in fact, the princess is beautiful and fragrant, and her temperament is also quite gentle and kind, Xianggong, you can be more perfunctory, I heard that she is very popular with the emperor, and when necessary, she may be able to become a big aid to Xianggong......"
Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "I know, I used to be too kind to her, which caused her to misunderstand, and now she has a headache." ”
Su Rong pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Xianggong misunderstood, the concubine thinks that she worships Xianggong as a brother, and I don't believe that Xianggong will observe it at night." ”
Duan Fei said helplessly: "I have never had a sister, how can I tell whether she is in love or admiration?" ”
Su Rong said with a smile: "There are many concubines and sisters, I believe that I will never be mistaken." ”
Duan Fei still shook his head and said, "I'd better stay away, there have been a lot of things about my brother becoming a lover since ancient times, and I don't want to get into trouble." ”
Su Rong stroked her stomach, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she smiled gently: "Xianggong, for the sake of the common people in the world, you can sacrifice it......"
