Chapter 624: Loopholes
Which part of the yamen had an accident, if it wasn't a coincidence, it would probably be similar to the case wherever the person in front of him went, Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her.
The girl who was inexplicably being looked at blinked, tilted her head, and made a puzzled expression at him.
See what she does? Isn't it an analysis of the case?
"So, this official silver of the ninth year of Yongchang is related to this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, who was later Emperor Mingchang?" Xu Hexiu said.
Although the evidence is not enough, such a coincidence is indeed enough to check it carefully.
"If the spearhead of this matter is pointed at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, it is indeed a big problem," Zhen Shiyuan thought for a moment and spoke again, "But even if this case of the loss of official silver was committed by the prince, what does this have to do with the death of a little guy today a hundred years later?" β
You must know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later ascended the throne and became Emperor Mingchang, not to mention the evaluation of later generations, at least there will be nothing wrong with "becoming a king or defeating a coward", who in this world dares to ask the Son of Heaven's heavy responsibility? It was he who took the official silver, and these official silver came from the treasury, and since he took his own things, who else could say that he did not come?
What's more, it has been more than a hundred years since the incident, do they still have to condemn the Son of Heaven a hundred years ago in Dali Temple?
"So there must be something else going on in this, so that people are still dying a hundred years later." Qiao Ran said, paused, her eyes flashed slightly, "A hundred years ago, the official silver of the ninth year of Yongchang appeared, and a hundred years ago, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce endorsed Yuanheng Qianzhuang. β
Is this another coincidence?
I really won't say anything! There is no doubt that these things are related to the official silver of this box for nine years. Xu Hexiu rubbed his somewhat sore forehead and asked Qiao Ran: "Then what does this have to do with the case of the daughter of the Taishi Mansion you said?" β
He's still thinking about that case! Zhen Shiyuan looked at Xu Hexiu. Of course, this should not be forgotten, after all, it was the first "big event" she said. It's just that after saying so many things, I still have this matter firmly in mind, which shows that this kid is young and vigorous, and he has begun to think about the beautiful and cute little girl.
Having said that, this kid is not too young, and he looks like he is about the same size as he plays, either like Xie Chengze who has a fiancΓ©e early and is not in a hurry, or like Zhang Jie, although he has not yet decided on a marriage, he already has a sweetheart. He is the only one who runs around among other people's children all day long, and he is not an ignorant child like Pei Qingqing, it's really embarrassing!
"This matter seems to have nothing to do with this," the girl said, pausing, and then continued, "There are hardly many traces of this in the history of the official history. β
If there is no trace, why suddenly mention it? Xu Hexiu poured himself a cup of tea, and subconsciously glanced at the empty fried food plates, and suddenly felt a little regretful at this time. If you haven't finished eating all these fried foods, it's really a joy in life to listen to Master Qiao reasoning about the case with a cup of tea right now.
Some people in this world are so strange, they can read the dossier like a book, and even the process of reasoning about the case is like listening to a story, and many of them are even more exciting than the stories in the mouth of the storyteller.
Having said that, he didn't eat much of the fried food, and most of it went into Lord Zhen's stomach. Three plates, Master Qiao only ate one roast chicken thigh, how much did he eat the rest? I don't know how Lord Zhen has such a good appetite at this age, but his father has already started self-cultivation and was beaten and scolded by his mother.
"There is only one thing mentioned in the history of serious officials, that is, the daughter of the Taishi Mansion entered the palace when she was young, because the jade snow she was born was cute and lovable, and she was very loved by Emperor Yongchang and the queen, and even Emperor Yongchang also proposed the idea of accepting her as a righteous daughter, but this idea was rejected by the queen, and pointed to the girl who was playing with His Royal Highness the prince not far away and recited a song "Long Dry Xing".
Although none of the people here are full of poetry, poems such as "Long Trunk Travel", except for the young Pei Qingqing, are all known.
"Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums. Living together for a long time, the two have no suspicion. Qiao Ran recited it, touched the little ball on Pei Qingqing's head, and said, "The word childhood sweetheart comes from these poems." β
Therefore, the meaning of Emperor and Empress Yongchang is self-evident. And Emperor Yongchang's reaction was, in the words of the official history, "The emperor laughed, and the matter was stopped." β
After that, there was no mention of the daughter and prince of the Taishifu in the official history.
It was a joke when she was young, and Qiao Ran didn't pay much attention to it, until in the case about the disappearance of the daughter of the Taishi Mansion, the Dali Temple dossier full of loopholes and a few hastily closed cases specifically mentioned that "the queen asked several times, and after a month, she fell seriously ill and was depressed."
The whole file reveals a strange sense of disobedience: it goes without saying that the case was closed in a hurry due to loopholes, and since the case was closed in a hurry and did not want the matter to be expanded, the description of the entire file should be extremely sloppy and perfunctory. However, even the process of the case is described in an extremely perfunctory manner, the results of the post-mortem are very detailed, and even the reactions of the victim's relatives and relatives, which are rarely mentioned in the general case file, are strangely mentioned in the file. can mention it, but it is not even mentioned that the parents who have the closest relationship with the daughter of the Taishi Mansion are not mentioned, but the aunt of the queen is mentioned.
Contradictions everywhere, weirdness everywhere. Combined with the case files of Dali Temple around the past few years, it is really strange that an experienced Dali Temple official would write such a strange dossier.
"The crown prince is the only son of Emperor Yongchang and the prince of a country, and it is not surprising that the queen has the idea of being close to each other and preferring her own family." Qiao Ran said, "But the body and bones of that daughter of the Taishi Mansion are really not good. β
Whether it is right or wrong, for the prince of a country, the heir is obviously extremely important. This can be seen by how His Majesty treats His Highness. A weak heir is obviously not what the monarch wants to see, otherwise, the Yongchang Emperor would not have "laughed at the emperor, and the matter will be stopped". Even Emperor Yongchang, who has more than one son, reacted like this, but to treat his only son, Emperor Yongchang's empress wanted to choose a weak princess for his only son, is it a bit unreasonable?
"Of course, this is not conclusive evidence, I just think that the combination of these seemingly inconspicuous little things is a little strange in words." Qiao Ran said.
To be honest, extracting these two sentences from such a huge official history and interpreting them is indeed not something ordinary people would do. Thinking that Xue Huai was completely cured by her when he raised the bar at that time, Zhen Shiyuan knew that she knew this well.
Perhaps, what she said will be understood as "raising the bar" and "deliberately finding faults" when put outside, but her "raising the bar" and "deliberately finding faults" seem very reasonable, and even if you analyze it carefully, it can also make people feel creepy.
For example, if the Queen's attitude was as strange as she had said...... Stop, stop, you can't think about this kind of thing. Zhen Shiyuan stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat that had crawled all over his forehead at some point, took a deep breath, and saw that Xu Hexiu also reached out to wipe the sweat like him.
The room was quiet for a while, except for the "chirp" of glutinous rice dumplings being bitten. At this time, only Pei Qingqing, a child, can still eat.
"The dossier you mentioned, Xu Hexiu and I still have to take a look." Zhen Shi is far away.
The girl nodded and said, "These can't even be said to be evidence, just speculation." Of course, speculating on people's hearts has always been what she is good at, but being good at it doesn't mean she's right every time. What's more, isn't "people's hearts changeable" a famous saying that has existed since ancient times? So this kind of thing can't be done at all.
"There is no record in the official history other than that, and now I want to flip through the wild history ......" At this point, the girl's voice suddenly lowered, and after a moment of silence, she looked at Xu Hexiu, who was still wiping her sweat, and said, "I don't know if it's a coincidence, when I went to the treasury to borrow the file this morning, I saw several secondment records earlier than me today." β
Xu Hexiu said "oh" to her, and said in his heart: Just look at it, what are you doing when you look at me?
Even if he wants to say something, just say it, his ear power is still good.
Qiao Ran still looked at him, and after a pause, he spoke again: "I heard that Xie Chengze was bored during his illness, so he came to the treasury of Dali Temple to borrow some miscellaneous books to pass the time." β
Of course, it will not be a lonely book that can be easily lent out of Dali Temple, and it can be found outside, but it will take some effort to find it.
"He borrowed it...... It seems to be a few wild histories of Emperor Yongchang and Emperor Ming Chang a hundred years ago. Qiao Ran said and reached out and grabbed the two small balls on Pei Qingqing's head, who was shaking slightly by the hand, and said, "I don't know if it's a coincidence." β
Xu Hexiu's face changed slightly, and he immediately turned around and strode out of the house, seeing the direction he left, it was going to the treasury of Dali Temple.
Qiao Ran shook his head and sighed, facing Zhen Shiyuan, who still didn't move, and was still standing in place, said with a smile: "Lord Zhen, don't you go and take a look at that file full of loopholes?" β
"Don't look at it, you probably can't be wrong about what you say." Zhen Shiyuan waved his hand disapprerovingly, and then looked at her with a strange expression, and then asked, "I said, you just told us that you wouldn't have told Xie Chengze in advance!" Don't you know that the two of them are currently competing for that promotion? β
She herself is good, with the unparalleled number and quality of cases, it is a sure thing to win this year's promotion quota. The two boys are still fighting, and even pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Mrs. Xu has gone down to help her son. At this time, she stepped in sideways. Well, although they are all helping, and they are all looking for women to help, but he doesn't dare to say anything else, when it comes to detective investigations, I'm afraid that there will be no woman in the entire Chang'an City who can beat her. How can Xu Hexiu win?
"How could Miss Qiao do such an idle thing?" Pei Qingqing, who was rubbing the two small balls above her head, couldn't stand it, snorted coldly, and said loudly, "It's not Zhang Xie who grabbed that place, if Miss Qiao really helped Xie Chengze, Zhang Xie would definitely find a way to beat Xie Chengze so that he couldn't get out of bed, how could he still have the strength to come to Dali Temple to borrow idle books to pass the time?" β
The little girl said that the head was the way, but Zhen Shiyuan turned his head with a look that he couldn't bear to look at directly: Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji! What does it mean to be beaten and not get out of bed? It always feels weird, maybe his adult mind has been polluted by the things of this world, and it is not as clear as a child!
However, Qiao Ran seemed to have long been accustomed to Pei Qingqing's cleverness from time to time, so he didn't care about it, but said lightly: "There is nothing to speculate about such things, Xie Chengze's ability is not weak, and it is not strange that he can find these strange things from the file." β
The so-called level of investigation skills lies in the fact that people with disparities in ability can still be predicted, but among people like her, Xie Chengze, and Xu Hexiu, sometimes a prompt from others is unintentional, or one of them is more careful and finds more problems, which is very likely to cause the speed of the investigation progress.
This case is about Xie Yi, and Xie Chengze really shouldn't interfere. But if the part that interferes has nothing to do with Xie Yi, it doesn't matter.
She has a good memory, doesn't she allow others to have a good memory? If she likes to read the file, she doesn't allow others to like to read the file too? Moreover, Xie Chengze entered Dali Temple much earlier than her, so he could naturally come into contact with these files earlier, even if he couldn't remember them, such a long time was enough for him to read a lot of files in the treasury of Dali Temple.
That's right! After listening to Qiao Ran's words, Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but nodded. Although Xie Chengze and Xu Hexiu are on par in his eyes, I have to say that compared with Xu Hexiu, Xie Chengze is calmer and easier to find the flaws in the case. Of course, it doesn't mean that Xu Hexiu's temperament will definitely lose, and sometimes Xu Hexiu, who is more enthusiastic, is also more likely to find the key people or things to solve the case.
Since he provoked the topic, Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but be interested, knocked on the table in front of Qiao Ran, and said, "Who do you think will be the one who gets the promotion quota this time?" As he spoke, he untied the money bag from his waist and threw it on the table, and asked her, "Do you want to gamble?" β
Seeing Zhen Shiyuan's eager look, Qiao Ran looked up at him with a smile and said, "My lord, I'm afraid it's not good for you to gamble with your subordinates!" β
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Zhen Shiyuan's eyes, he coughed dryly, and defended: "It's not about playing those things in the casino, we're just speculating on the outcome of the matter, and it's also a test of inference." Speaking of the last sentence, Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but feel a little more confident in his words, Zhen Shiyuan straightened his waist and asked her again, "Do you want to gamble?" "A few days later, the Dali Temple New Year's Banquet can make him deflated a lot, looking at the entire Dali Temple, I am afraid that only in front of him dare to gamble with him, by the way to make up for his deflated purse.
actually asked him to come back to the story. Qiao Ran glanced at Zhen Shiyuan with a strange expression and asked him, "Who do you fancy about that adult?" β
Zhen Shiyuan put the purse in front of the roast chicken plate and said, "Xie Chengze should solve this case faster than Xu Hexiu, so I bet Xie Chengze." "Although Mrs. Xu is out of the horse, but seeing the speed at which Xie Chengze borrowed those wild histories early in the morning, it should be Xie Chengze who wins this time.
"Then I'll bet Xu and Xiu to get that place in the end!" The girl thought about it, untied the purse from her waist and threw it in front of the fried food plate.
Pei Qingqing, who was on the side, blinked, and when she saw this, she untied the purse on her waist and threw it in front of the plate of fried plum strips, and said happily: "I'll bet with Miss Qiao!" β
I'm a bad boy! Zhen Shiyuan sighed and turned his face away, and said, "Just this time, don't take it as an example!" "For the sake of the two purses, bear with it!
