Yang Zhengben and his brother were talking in the house.

Mainly talking about the family's business, their father died this year, the family's business is now taken over by his eldest brother, although the four brothers-in-law are all in charge of a certain shop in various places, but the family is still Yang Zhengben's brother.

After chatting for a long time, things didn't go together, and suddenly his brother asked, "Didn't you go drinking with Xue Wen tonight?" Why do you come home so early? ”

"I'm tired from drinking every day. They were talking about Su Qingniang's case five years ago. Yang Zhengben's eyes flashed, and he said, "Didn't Song Shi'an be promoted to Dali Temple, took over this case, and re-investigated!" ”

"I heard that he sent a group of high-ranking officials in the capital to investigate Su Qingniang's case, purely to squeeze him out of Tang Taiwen to make way for him, although this kind of person has no room for means to behave and do things, but he is also above board, I still appreciate him."

"He has the backing of King Qi, and of course he is unscrupulous." Yang Zhengben doesn't like such people very much.

"Are you afraid that you will encounter him as an official in the future? Don't worry, there is no one in our family, and if you pass the exam, you will definitely have to go out for more than ten years before you have the opportunity to be a Beijing official, and when you go back, who knows what it was like at that time. ”

Yang Zhengben nodded, preoccupied.

"What's wrong?" His brother asked.

Yang Zhengben said: "Brother, didn't you say a few days ago that we went to Jiangnan during the Dragon Boat Festival?" ”

"You want to go? I'm sure I'm going to escort a batch of goods to Pingjiang Mansion, if you want to go, then go together. However, doesn't it delay you from studying? ”

Yang Zhengben shook his head: "I can also read books on the road, besides, I can also go to Yuhang when I go to Pingjiang Mansion, and maybe I can go to meet Mr. Wen Chu!" And he said, "So, we'll leave tomorrow?" ”

"Nonsense, there is no reason to leave if you want to. I still have a lot of work to do, at least more than ten days. ”

Yang Zheng wanted to speak and stopped, nodded and did not speak again.

There was a steward over there who came to find his brother, and Yang Zhengben also went back to his room to rest.

There were four or five maids serving in his yard, all of them tall and beautiful, and the laughter was crisp and sweet, and when it was time to sleep, there were maids who stayed in the room and did not leave, and the sound of men and women whispering and breathing in the room was particularly obvious when the lights were out.

Lu Qingqing was very embarrassed, jumped off the roof and left, Lu Miaomiao pulled the tiles and listened.

Song Ning tugged at his ears and dragged him down.

Lu Miaomiao smacked her lips, still unsatisfied, Song Ning knocked him on the head: "The man is not left!" ”

"My lord, get down to business! These little things of mine are not enough to worry about. Lu Miaomiao persuaded Song Ning.

Song Ning kicked him.

The three of them returned to the inn, everyone was waiting for them, Zhao Yi asked, "...... Lying in the middle of the night, is there a catch? ”

"There are doubts and goals, but there are no substantial gains." Song Ning sighed while eating, "Brainstorming, what do you think about the current situation?" ”

Zhao Yi said: "Come with me to investigate Liao Miao's case." ”

"I feel like I'm close to the door."

Zhao Yi leaned back in the chair and looked at her sympathetically: "Then where is your breakthrough point?" ”

Song Ning picked an apple and nibbled on it: "Follow his timeline first, and then check his friends one by one, if it still doesn't work in the end, bring people back for trial." ”

"And, search his home and room."

Song Yuanshi said: "It seems that you have already thought about it, so let's do it." ”

Song Ning threw the gnawed apples on the basket and said to Qiu: "Give you a list, and capture people one by one!" ”

"Done!" Autumn said.

In the middle of the night, the three people of Qiu dragged Zhang Dingyun and other four people to the inn, Zhao Yi was in charge, and the four of them were frightened and some of them didn't say anything, recalling all the things five years ago and four years ago, and evaluating and guessing Yang Zhengben.

During the day the next day, while Yang Zhengben and the two brothers went out, Song Ning sneaked into Yang Zhengben's room and searched for it, there were a lot of women's things, but there were no things that could be used as clues.

In the evening, everyone called a banquet and chatted while eating in the room.

“…… Zhang Mao and Zhang Dingyun all said that they couldn't remember whether Yang Zhengben was there on Zhang Mao's birthday five years ago. Qiu asked, "Lord Wang, my lord, there is no one to close the proof in time." ”

Zhao Yi put down the chopsticks and said, "The only way to do this now is to ask Yang Zhengben." ”

"I'll follow him later." Song Ning pulled the rice, absent-minded.

Zhang Dingyun: The time blur of the four of them is normal, after all, it has been five years, and it happens every year, and it is very normal not to remember or be confused.

What surprised her was that including Xue Wen, the evaluation of Yang Zhengben was very positive. Although he is not a righteous gentleman, it is absolutely impossible to say that he kills people and kills his mouth.

"Lord Wang, how are you doing over there?" Song Ning asked Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi said: "Qian Shaoen told his timeline that night very carefully, including that he was found by patrols on the street after he was drunk in the second half of the night. ”

"One thing is more interesting, I have inquired about Liao Miao's neighbors, and more than one person has seen a strange tall man who has been to Liao Miao's house, and he will stay for half a day before leaving."

Song Ning listened to an accident: "...... Meaning, they think that Liao Miao was not raped and killed by strangers? ”

"Well, it's adultery. But her mother-in-law doesn't think so, although her son is not often at home, but her daughter-in-law is very well-behaved, usually does not go out, not to mention walking around with strange men, even acquaintances do not talk much. ”

"What is the prince going to do next?" Song Ning asked.

Zhao Yi said: "Check the footprints left by the quilt." ”

"Ah, footprints." Song Ning asked Lu Qingqing, "Didn't you measure the size of Su Li's feet, where is it?" ”

Su Qingniang made shoes for the mysterious Wen Gongzi, and Su Li's upper feet were slightly bigger.

"With me." Lu Qingqing said.

Song Ning took it, looked at it and said to Zhao Yi: "I'll go to see the footprints with you tomorrow, are they still kept?" ”

"Here, a piece of fabric is cut out and kept."

"I'll find a way to get to know Yang Zhengben first, I can't drag on the battle for too long, my Lord Tang is still waiting for me." Song Ning went out, and Zhao Yi also went downstairs with her.

Zhao Yi said: "I have an idea, some ...... Well, not very clean. ”

"What?"

"Take a piece of meat out to know if he's a dog or a wolf." Zhao Yi said.

Song Ning felt that it made sense, and touched his face: "Then it seems that I have to go out in person." ”

Zhao Yi glanced at her: "Your eyes are slippery at a glance, and he will only treat himself as a piece of meat when he meets you." ”

"Huh? Yang Zhengben! Song Ning pulled Zhao Yi to stop, raised his chin and motioned him to look ahead, "That's Yang Zhengben." ”

Zhao Yi looked at the other party, his body was more than five feet nine inches, and it looked good at first glance.

Zhao Yi asked, "How old is this year?" ”

The two of them followed Yang Zhengben, and Song Ning said, "Twenty-one." ”

Yang Zhengben was alone, with a lot of worries, Song Ning thought he was wandering aimlessly, but he walked out of the city, and after leaving the city, he went to the left, entered the bamboo forest of Zhang Village, and after the restaurant that had not yet closed, he walked in for another cup of tea, and a bamboo house appeared in front of them.

There are three rooms in the bamboo house, and there is a fence yard in front of the door, and the yard is crawling with green vines, so if you look at it during the day, it should be very interesting.

"Haven't checked it here?" Zhao Yi asked Song Ning.

Song Ning shook his head: "I didn't come here." ”

The two of them hid on the opposite side of the bamboo house. Yang Zhengben lit the light after entering, and Song Ning and the others could clearly see his figure moving in the window.

"What is he doing?" Zhao Yi asked.

Song Ning had a bad premonition, and before she could say anything, the sound of the piano sounded in the room, and it made her very irritable.

"It doesn't work!" Zhao Yi frowned, and Song Ning said strangely, "Isn't it good?" ”

She didn't think it was good to listen to, but she didn't think it was the song he chose. Zhao Yi said: "No, the music he played in a rusty way was not smooth enough, and he felt frustrated. ”

"Oh, I see, the layman didn't even hear the excitement."

The two squatted in the forest, and Zhao Yi thought thoughtfully: "Liao Miao's ...... I can also play the piano. ”

"Huh?" Song Ning looked at Zhao Yi, "She has a good background?" ”

Zhao Yi bowed: "Her family background is not bad, and she has been accustomed to these vassal and elegant things since she was a child. ”

While the two were talking, the sound of the piano in the room suddenly stopped.

Immediately Yang Zhengben opened the door and came out, closed the door and locked it and walked along the original road to the city, stopped when he was about to enter the door, glanced at the chestnut village, and then entered the city.

He made it all the way back home.

Song Ning and Zhao Yi returned to the bamboo house, because there was no one to guard them, Song Ning and his party directly lit the lamp.

The house was very clean.

On the left is the banquet room, in the middle is the hall, and on the right is the bedroom.

Pry open the bedroom door, there is a gauze tent hanging inside, and the bed is covered with a quilt, and it is neatly tied.

On the round table in the middle are cups.

"A hairpin." Lu Miaomiao opened the drawer, and there was a silver hairpin inside, "Look, my lord, it's exactly the same as Su Qingniang." ”

Song Ning looked at it, and it was really exactly the same.

Lu Qingqing pushed open the wardrobe, there was a very hidden closet at the back of the wardrobe, there was a box in the cook, and when he took out the box and opened it, there were more than a dozen big red purses inside.

I opened a purse, and inside it were two strands of hair tied with red thread.

Then take it apart, as if out of it.

A total of sixteen purses.

"This can't be a trick that Yang Zhengben tricked the little girl into coming here to promise her life, and used the trick of knotting her hair, right?" Fu Yu shouted in disbelief.

Zhao Yi looked at a table of disgusting "knotted hair" and sneered: "I didn't become bald!" ”

"Let's see if there's anything else."

Everyone went to search, and Song Ning used candlelight to shine the ebony box.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yi asked her.

Song Ning said: "Look at the ash on this. ”

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing strangeness.

No more valuable clues were found, so Song Ning put the box back and took the purse and the hair with him.

"These purses are so new." Back at the inn, Song Ning took out all the purses, and Song Yuanshi asked, "Do you mean, some women have been deceived recently?" ”

Song Ning shook his head: "That's not all about it. ”

She had doubts.

"Lord Wang, I think you may be right, tomorrow I will go with you to investigate the case of Liao Miao's family!"

"I can do it anytime." Zhao Yi said.
