Chapter 194: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

The case was not so simple, and it was obviously something they knew for a long time.

An inexplicable "fake", even if this person is not a faker, but a murderer, why would he want to kill a court official, even his family?

It's strange that this case can be simple.

"It's not simple, it's not better," Zhen Shiyuan rubbed his chin and looked at the girl who was bowing her head and contemplating, "Miss Qiao seems to have something to say, what she mentioned, you just try to be satisfied." ”

Lord Zhao was shocked when he heard this: "Lord Zhen, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Aren't you all curious about how much ability our first female official of Dali Temple has?" Zhen Shiyuan raised his chin and said, "No matter how much you say, it's better to see it with your own eyes, if she can make meritorious contributions on the way, it will be easier for her to gain a firm foothold in Dali Temple." ”

After all, it was a cronie brought by himself, a "famous" female official, sooner or later he would come into front of His Majesty's eyes.

It seems that this cronie is going to be cultivated, Lord Zhao was suddenly puzzled, but he was still a little puzzled in his heart, he lowered his voice and said to Zhen Shiyuan: "There must be people in Dali Temple who are good at investigating cases, and many of them are still children of famous families in Kyoto. ”

"This official has not returned to Beijing for more than ten years, the situation in Chang'an is complicated, and he looks like a son of a famous family in Kyoto, but he doesn't know who is behind it! How can there be such a reassuring use? Zhen Shiyuan shook his head as he spoke, and said, "I've thought about it, and I still want to use her." ”

Before leaving Jinling, he also asked Du Ziheng's opinion. He has great respect for this senior official who was once less than 30 years old and took up the post of Yin of Jinling Mansion. Du Ziheng also has the same idea about this: instead of using suspicious and suspicious ghosts, it is better to cultivate a cronie by himself and use people without suspicion.

Besides, although most of today's female officials are messing around, it is easier for a truly capable female official to get into His Majesty's eyes than a man who is also capable.

While she was talking, the girl seemed to have a clue, walked over, saluted them, and said, "I want to see the treasury of the government." ”

Master Zhao glanced at Zhen Shiyuan, coughed twice, and said, "Okay, okay, this official will let someone take you over." ”

Probably in order not to affect Miss Qiao, even Zhen Shiyuan and Lord Zhao did not go together, but although they did not go together, they still sent officials to accompany them.

Originally, I thought that Miss Qiao would go for a long time, but less than half an hour later, the official messenger came back, saying that Miss Qiao was gone, and before leaving, she only said "After the volume and directory of the Hanlin Academy are delivered", she called her.

"So fast?" Lord Zhao was a little surprised when he heard this, "I have at least a thousand volumes in the treasury of the Luoyang Mansion, and she has read them all?" ”

The official shook his head and said, "Miss Qiao didn't draw a scroll at all, she just stared at the scroll like this for a while, looked like ten lines at a glance, turned around a few times and left." ”

What can you see here?

Not only Lord Zhao, but even Zhen Shiyuan was confused.

At noon on the second day, after receiving the list of volumes sent by the Hanlin Academy, Lord Zhao simply didn't even look at it and sent it directly to the post station, but in less than an hour, he saw Zhen Shiyuan and that Miss Qiao coming over.

After seeing him and giving a salute, the girl spoke: "I have already guessed, but unfortunately the evidence is insufficient now, and I need Lord Zhao's help." ”

Lord Zhao hurriedly said, "It's okay for you to say it directly. ”

The girl nodded, and then said, "There are some other things I want to ask the two adults, about the adults who patrol on behalf of the sky." ”

……

"Ahh A middle-aged official who was watching the chess team sneezed violently and muttered, "Someone must be saying that I'm waiting again." ”

There has been no progress in Jinling for a few months, and seeing that Zhen Shiyuan's house has made progress again and again, and finally he was promoted, which is already unhappy enough, and he doesn't know how to explain to His Majesty when he returns to Chang'an. As a result, Liu Jize died again on the way, they became suspects, turned back to the post station, and there were people watching them even when they went in and out.

I really don't know why I'm so unlucky.

"Those officials seem to be checking something lately." Rather than playing chess in the house to pass the time, the younger officials were more willing to gather at the window to watch the movements of the officials.

"I didn't move a few days ago, and I suddenly started to investigate, could it be that Zhen Shiyuan's guy has made a big luck again, can he have a clue?" An elderly official who was watching the chess game spoke with a bit of unpleasantness, "How did he have such good luck?" ”

Of course, this is just talk. How can solving a case be just a matter of luck? Of course, Zhen Shiyuan also has some ability, Zhen Shiyuan was a person in Dali Temple back then, and Di Fangxing, the first Dali Temple, was quite optimistic about him, but if he had such a ability back then, how could he be promoted and demoted out of Beijing?

"I am happy that Jinling is an outstanding person, Zhen Shiyuan has been there for ten years, and he has been nourished by the beautiful mountains and rivers." The old man who was playing chess said and glanced at the young man who was gathering at the window with several young officials and looked down.

"Look, aren't our Lord Xiaoli from Jinling?"

If it weren't for a talented young man, this Lord Li would not have been so valued by Shangfeng.

Hearing others mention himself, Li Zhao only smiled, pointed out the window, and said, "The official seems to be investigating the case of someone's disappearance." ”

"This Lord Zhao is really idle, he pushed the trouble to Zhen Shiyuan, and then threw his hands to investigate other cases." Several officials watching the chess laughed when they heard this, "I'm not afraid that Zhen Shiyuan will be unhappy if I do this." ”

Li Zhao didn't say anything, just continued to look out the window: if he heard correctly, those officials were investigating a case of thirty-one people missing at the same time.

Thirty-one, this number made him seem to understand something, this time Zhen Shiyuan was afraid that he was going to give the person who watched the show another slap, Li Zhao couldn't help but chuckle twice.

Seeing him chuckle suddenly, his colleagues on the side asked him curiously, "Master Li, what are you laughing at?" ”

"I'm thinking," he said, looking at the crowd, "we should be able to get out soon." ”

……

……

On the Luoyang wharf, a caravan was slowly boarding the ship.

handed over the official spy to the ship boss, who looked at it carefully and asked, "The caravan from Kaifeng to Jinling?" ”

The old steward of the caravan nodded.

The ship's boss glanced at him, looked at the caravan behind him, and frowned slightly: "You have too many caravan women!" ”

In addition to many young girls' dependents, there are also children, these people are not good at hurrying!

"The family wanted to go to Jiangnan for a long time, and this time they came out, and they didn't bring much goods, so they brought people with them by the way."

The boat boss was stunned.

The scenery of Jiangnan is good, and many people admire the scenery of Jiangnan and always want to see it, which is not a strange thing.

After checking that there was no problem with the official spy, the captain of the ship handed the official back to him, and raised his hand: "Come up quickly, there is still half an hour, and we will set off." ”

At Luoyang Wharf, there were not many ships coming and going from the south to the north in one day, and after half an hour, the cargo ship departed on time.

When the ship was leaving the dock, the old steward stepped out of the cabin, went out onto the deck, stared at the sparkling water for a moment, and burst out laughing.

It was only after a few laughs that a voice rang out behind him.

"It's good that the golden cicada comes out of its shell, how are you okay with Lord Liu?"
