Chapter 604: Questioning
Of course, Ji Nan would not let Zhen Shiyuan go back alone, even if this Dali Siqing played a petty temper, oh, no, it was a temper, and he refused to take his carriage, he would not let Zhen Shiyuan go back alone.
Therefore, the official of Dali Temple, who went out to run errands at noon, only walked out of the gate of Dali Temple with his front foot, and bumped into Zhen Shiyuan who came back head-on.
The dignified Dali Siqing walked in front with a gray face, and a group of officials of the criminal department followed behind, mixed with a prisoner car with a big hole in the middle, and finally there were a few hawkers who carried the burden far behind, no shackles, and no officials watched, it should not be a prisoner, but this far followed from time to time pointing here and didn't know what to do.
This interview is really complicated and weird, funny and ridiculous, and people simply don't know what words to use to describe it for a while. The official who was about to go out to run errands watched them approach in a daze, so that when Zhen Shiyuan led the general to the front, he instinctively let out an exclamation: "Someone!" ”
This exclamation successfully called out half of the officials and officials who had nothing to do in Dali Temple, and Qiao Ran was naturally mixed in.
As soon as he walked to the door of the Yamen of Dali Temple, he bumped into Zhen Shiyuan, who was so "eagerly" welcomed, almost didn't lose his breath, with a cold gray face and couldn't see his original face, his eyes skimmed over the faces of the officials who came out to see the excitement, and then successfully stopped on the face of the only girl among them.
"You ......" Zhen Shiyuan pointed at Qiao Ran and nodded, "It is not easy for a few adults from the Criminal Department to escort this official back all the way, please go in and have a cup of tea before leaving." ”
The tone of the statement obviously did not give Ji Nan and the others a choice.
When the officials of the Criminal Department came to the door before, the entire Dali Temple knew about it, after all, all the officials who came to the door to Dali Temple to find someone must have to pass through the middle hall, which one of Ji Nan's standing tall figures could not be seen?
At noon, after a rest, the people from the Criminal Department came and went, and Lord Zhen walked and returned, with a gray face, and on the other hand, blood foam and sword scratches flew sideways, and a prisoner car with a big hole was outside. Oh, by the way, the prisoner car is still their Dali Temple, although it has a big hole, the Dali Temple logo nailed to the stake has not been destroyed, so even if it is broken like this, it can still be seen that this is the prisoner car of their Dali Temple.
What's going on? Did you encounter a carjacking car?
A group of onlookers speculated, Zhen Shiyuan waved at a group of subordinates who blocked the gate tightly: "What are you doing here?" Don't do things yet! ”
was scolded by Shangfeng, and the officials and officials dispersed one after another, and at this time, only Qiao Ran, who was "hand-picked" by Zhen Shiyuan to entertain the officials of the Criminal Department, was still nailed to the spot.
When the crowd dispersed, the girl with a slight frown stretched out her hand, skipped the crowd, pointed behind them, and said, "Are those who are following the prisoners or accomplices?" ”
The hawkers and pedestrians who had followed the show all the way were startled, especially when they saw the eyes of the officials of the Criminal Department looking back, they were all shocked, and soon scattered and fled.
"It's pretty fast." Zhen Shiyuan looked at the backs of the people desperately fleeing, muttered, and then looked at Ji Nan and the others with a smile, and said, "The name of the Yamen child of the Criminal Department is really easy to use as always!" ”
Ji Nan, who was stabbed by Zhen Shiyuan, didn't hear it, and only said to him: "Lord Zhen, I have to go back to my life later." ”
"Is that called resurrection?" Zhen Shiyuan sneered lightly and said, "If you lose the prisoner, this is called punishment!" ”
It's a little blunt, but it's true. Ji Nan smiled bitterly: "What Lord Zhen said is right, that is, to be punished!" ”
"Why are you so active in being punished?" Zhen Shiyuan raised his hand as he spoke, pointed to the door of the yamen of his Dali Temple, and said, "I was a little reluctant to leave before you came over and drank a cup of tea, but now you are going and returning, drink tea and then leave!" ”
Is this the time to take care of those sips or two? Zhou Liang stomped his feet on the spot and sighed: "Lord Zhen, don't be joking, I lost the prisoner this time, and I will definitely be severely punished when I go back." ”
"That's just a little later, and I'll be punished less." Zhen Shiyuan said and glanced at the girl with a calm expression on the side, with this girl standing beside him, he felt a little more confident in his heart for some reason.
"Go back, I'll tell you Lord Shangshu that it's not your fault." Zhen Shiyuan "appeased" them, "The patrol officers of the Chang'an Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division did not arrive in time, and the officials of the Yamen of the Criminal Department did not appear in time to respond, those two gangsters are quite powerful or something, everyone is responsible, the law is not responsible, you don't have to worry, in short, things are excusable." ”
Ji Nan twisted his brows: How could he not see that Zhen Shiyuan was talking nonsense at this time? It's just that Zhen Shiyuan suffered an unwarranted disaster before, and he insisted on keeping people at this time, in case he turned around and talked nonsense to Lord Shangshu...... The words are ugly, whether he and Zhou Liang will be punished or not, and how many punishments they will be subjected to, but they are all between this person's mouth.
After all, the same thing, the way of speaking is different, and the result is very different. And this Lord Dali Siqing, who doesn't look very good, is a Jinshi from the Eight Classics, and he was still in Hanlin back then, and that mouth definitely has this ability.
Ji Nan didn't know what kind of medicine Zhen Shiyuan was selling in the gourd, so after thinking about it, he still agreed.
No matter what, Zhen Shiyuan has no reason to offend the yamen of the Criminal Department.
It's just that not being guilty doesn't mean that today's gratuitous calamity is just that. After entering Dali Temple, Zhen Shiyuan himself went to the backyard in the name of "washing", and the only thing left in the office hall was the female official Qiao who was "hand-picked" by him.
Zhou Liang is no stranger to the girl in front of him, although Ji Nan has not seen it before, he has obviously heard of it before he came, and in a certain aspect, he is not a stranger.
As inquired, this female official Qiao has an excellent appearance, and she is extremely similar to the eldest lady of the original family, but no one will confuse her with the eldest lady of the original family, because the temperament of the two is completely different.
He was looking at the girl, but the girl took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and then said with a smile: "Two adults, we adults are very good-looking, we went out to toss a little today, came back with a disgraced face, and was seen by the people, tonight Chang'an City must spread all over our adults' embarrassment......"
originally thought that she would open her mouth to test something, but she didn't expect that what she said was this, Ji Nan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "...... Indeed it is. ”
"Adults are not comfortable, so don't care about this cup of cold tea." As she spoke, the girl raised the teacup in her hand and drank it all, showing him the empty teacup.
So, just to let the two of them have a cup of cold tea so that they can save face? Zhou Liang was silent, picked up the teacup and drank it all: This Dali Siqing is really going back more and more!
Ji Nan also drank a cup of tea, since Zhen Shiyuan wants to find face, then let him go!
It was better for him to hold on to this little thing than for him to find any other trouble.
Seeing this, the girl hurriedly thanked him, and then said to the two of them: "And the prisoner car......"
Zhou Liang couldn't listen anymore, rubbed his forehead and said to Ji Nan: "Otherwise, I'll compensate for this prisoner car!" ”
The people of Dali Temple are really ...... What's the point of caring about this sesame seed-sized thing?
The girl said "oh", with a little more smile on her face, and pointed to the side of her face, and said, "Our adult's good face is not only that face, but he also attaches great importance to his own appearance." ”
What is there to look at in terms of the skin of Zhen Shiyuan's face? Zhou Liang exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, took out a jar of white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "This is the scar removal thing used by the palace emperor, it can be regarded as our reparation!" ”
Is this Dali Temple? Settle accounts with them one by one, and those who don't know think they bumped into a scoundrel who touched porcelain!
The people from the Criminal Department didn't want to entangle with them, the smile on the girl's face became brighter and brighter, and after smiling and thanking her, she turned to Ji Nan and said, "Are the two adults injured?" Do you want to give you some medicine? ”
Take his medicine and turn around to be a favor? Zhou Liang took a deep breath and said, "No need, the two of us are not injured." ”
"What about the rest of the officials of the Criminal Department?" The girl's tone was not hurried, but she still smiled and cared about everyone, "Are you hurt?" ”
"No, none." Zhou Liang shook his head and replied busily.
"Not at all!" The girl let out an "oh", elongated her tone, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said, "Our adults are really unlucky!" ”
Ji Nan's face changed slightly, and he blurted out with a smiling gaze at the girl: "This matter has nothing to do with my criminal department!" ”
"It's a coincidence that this matter," the girl only looked at the two of them and said leisurely, "It is less than a hundred steps away from the official road of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and two adults escorted them to be blocked and robbed, and they also lost important suspects." In addition, under such a huge momentum, only one of us Zhen was injured in the audience, and the destroyed prisoner car was also from my Dali Temple, all of which really makes people wonder if the Criminal Department designed this good show by itself. Forget it, what's even more excessive is that you are not willing to destroy your own things and spend money. ”
The last sentence of such an aggressive questioning in front of me is actually this? Speaking to such a point, it is also a talent, if he really does these accountants than that money?
When Zhou Liang heard her, he couldn't help but say, "How is this possible?" How can the people we bring with us ......?"
"It makes sense that the people we brought were put in this play designed by the Yamen of the Criminal Department." Ji Nan opened his mouth to interrupt his words, then shook his head at Zhou Liang, turned his head to look at the girl in front of him and said, "There is indeed a problem with this matter, and Dali Temple suspects that we should too." ”
"We in Dali Temple believe in the two adults." After seeing Ji Nan's admission, the girl spoke again, "It's just that I don't know who those two missing prisoners are, who can attract the other party's designed drama?" ”
If you can't see the problem in this big drama full of loopholes and seeking revenge on the street, Zhen Shiyuan, the Dali Siqing, should not be in charge.
"I don't know about that." Ji Nanmo was silent for a moment with the empty teacup in his hand, and said to the girl, "Didn't Dali Temple take over this case before?" ”
"One of the two murderers is just the owner of the bookstore, and the other is the shopkeeper of the cloth village, and there is nothing strange about his life history when he kills people because of money." Qiao Ran said.
"That may have nothing to do with the murderer," Ji Nan lowered his eyelids, covering the look under his eyes, and said, "They are purely coming for the yamen of my criminal department, intending to provoke a dispute between the yamen of our criminal department and Dali Temple." ”
After all, it was Dali Siqing himself who had an accident, and it was only a small injury but Dali Siqing himself who lost a lot of face. This explanation is not inexplicable.
Qiao Ran didn't ask, only smiled: "If that's the case, don't worry, my lord, our Lord Zhen is not such a stingy person, and he won't fall into the trap of the murderer." ”
Not a stingy person? Zhou Liang glanced at the empty tea cup in his hand, who gave the cup of cold tea just now?
"In short, this time Lord Zhen is not from my criminal department, Ji Mou is here to make amends." After a few polite words, Ji Nan got up to say goodbye, and Qiao Ran sent the person out with a smile.
After returning after sending people off, Zhen Shiyuan, who had changed into new clothes, was already waiting in the house.
"How?" Zhen Shiyuan asked her.
"As the adults said, this is definitely not some kind of bloody revenge drama." Qiao Ran said and repeated the conversation between Fang Cai and Ji Nan and Zhou Liang, and said, "What I just said to the two of them is actually half-true, I believe that this is not a design of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs itself, but I don't believe that the Ministry of Criminal Affairs really doesn't know the identity of the other party." ”
Zhen Shiyuan snorted and said, "I also think, after all, this drama is too obvious, does this lead me to suspect the criminal department?" ”
When the girl heard this, she just pondered thoughtfully for a moment, and then hesitated to ask him, "My lord, do you think this play is a little familiar?" ”
Familiar? Zhen Shiyuan twisted his brows and thought seriously for a while, shook his head, and said, "Which case is familiar?" ”
"It's not a case, it's a trick." Qiao Ran said, "Do you remember the Que Lou case?" ”
How could he forget how long it had only passed? Zhen Shiyuan rolled his eyelids and said, "How can you forget?" ”
"I took on that case, and from start to finish I was dealing with the real people behind that case." Qiao Ran said, "Today's incident seems to be that the Yamen of the Criminal Department was seeking revenge and robbing the murderer, but after thinking about it carefully, I can see that this matter is more like the Criminal Department's self-directed and self-acting, which has aroused your dissatisfaction with the Criminal Department, but in fact, the real purpose of the murderer may have been only Zhao Minsheng and Wang Linhan from beginning to end." ”
Zhen Shiyuan was silent for a while before he said: "You say so, there are many carvings in this arrow, and the method of setting up a bureau with another purpose for each carving is indeed somewhat similar to the Que Lou case. "However, the bureau of the Que Lou case is more detailed, and it is not like this, as if it was a temporary idea, and the bureau is a little superficial.
Qiao Ran spread her hands: This matter has nothing to do with her for the time being. However, for her, this situation of the mastermind behind the scenes proves her original guess: the man who is half a head of Gao Zhen Shiyuan should be related to Ji Nan, or related to the Criminal Department and His Majesty.
