Yan Qing handed the last page of the case file to Hu Yanjin and said coldly: "That's all Jingwei can tell you.

He turned around and left the clerical room, and looked back before going out of the door: "Since you are assisting the grandson, please also think about it, if the courtiers have a fault, they must pay it back with their lives, and the emperor has no fault?" ”

"Senior brother, what did he mean by that? Could it be that the emperor did something wrong? Hua Qiao asked puzzled, and she looked down at the file in her hand again.

"Let's check from Qin Yue, the more he wants to hide it, the closer he gets to the truth. But...... Is this truth really what we want? ”

Yan Qing's words made Hu Yanjin's heart ripple.

"Senior brother...... My father said: As long as it is a crime, no matter what reason you have, there is no way to justify it.

Da Ming has "Da Ming Law", which says 'The murderer dies', today he crosses the Da Ming Law to kill people and live, tomorrow, someone will cross the Da Ming Law to kill you. ”

Hua Qiao stood up, slowly walked in front of Hu Yanjin, looked up at him and said firmly: "Senior brother, is my aunt the one who should be killed?" What did she do to hurt nature? Murderer, I won't let him go. ”

Hu Yanjin couldn't help but be slightly moved: Hua Qiao never mentioned the killing of her master's wife, and when she came back from Taipingmen, she didn't even mention her own life experience, and she couldn't imagine that she was so firm in her heart.

He took Hua Qiao's hand and said seriously: "You just have to do it, no matter what you encounter, I will be by your side." When I have finished the work of the envoys, I will tell you what I know, and see where we can begin. ”

The two of them went out of the Jingwei Yamen, and the head catcher sent out by Wansan also happened to come back, they went to the inn to the casino on the way, and looked for a witness along the road, and they really found one.

The catcher said: "There is a little brother who sells persimmons, he said that he saw this Ma Er yesterday and walked with a military master. ”

"Master Jun? Captured? ”

"No, no, the persimmon brother said that Ma Er and that person were talking and laughing, and he recognized it himself, and that person was a military master. Because although he was wearing an ordinary green cloth robe, he was wearing a pair of military boots. Brother Persimmon said that he sat on the side of the road all day long, and he was used to seeing other people's shoes......"

"Okay, this Yan Qing! Maybe he's a participant too. Three years ago, he was Qin Yue's subordinate, and when he met Ma Er, he also had the heart to avenge Qin Yue. Hu Yanjin smiled faintly and said:

"Now go in and find him, and you will not deny it. When we find Qin Yue, the truth will be revealed. ”

Since he knows that it is related to Qin Yue, when he finds out the people, Ying Tianfu Ya is not ambiguous. Soon I found some of his records from the year before:

Qin Yue was removed from his official status, confiscated his family property, and demoted to a commoner. The parents were taken to the capital to enjoy a few years of happiness, but now their son is suffering, although they are old, they have to return to their hometown in Shanxi.

This is a record of the change in household registration.

Re-examination, there are cases related to him:

Qin Yue only has one daughter under his knees, he is twelve years old, and he can't bear the down-and-out civilian life. Someone lied to her that she could take her to Shuntianfu, so she ran away from home and followed, who knew that this person was a human trafficker and sold her to the flower boat by the Qinhuai River.

Her mother couldn't stand the blow and threw herself into a well at home.

A three-generation recreational home, in the end, only Qin Yue was left, and he burned down the thatched hut where he lived in frustration, and he didn't know where to go.

Several people sighed when they saw it, no wonder Yan Qing was so disgusted with their investigation at the time, and now he really wants to investigate, but I am afraid that Yan Qing will not be able to get rid of it, and I don't know how many people are affected when he falls.

Hu Yanjin asked Wan San to stop the investigation, transferred two files by himself, and went into the palace to report the progress of the case to the imperial grandson.

"At present, what can be proved is that this ambassador Ma Er, who was beaten to death from the pagoda and threw his body, was killed by him. In addition, there are witnesses to prove that Ma Er was taken away by a man wearing military boots yesterday. I suspect that this is related to the theft of Ma Er's money three years ago. ”

"Qin Yue, Lone remembers him. He was the commander of Jingwei at that time, and he was very good at martial arts and majestic. Unexpectedly, the emperor's grandfather was angry and sentenced too harshly, obviously dereliction of duty, but he turned it into a commoner, so that so many changes occurred in his family. ”

Zhu Zhanji sighed, closed the dossier and said:

"In this way, since the results of the case have not been announced, it has been announced to the public that the ambassador fell from the pagoda by himself, and that Cheng'en Temple has mismanaged the pagoda and compensated the princess of Maoli Wuguo. It is a royal temple, which is worshiped by the royal family, and it is enough to let people allocate more money for sesame oil to them.

As for the murderer, whether it is Qin Yue or not, you don't have to pursue it again. Tomorrow, the palace will be rewarded, and the lonely will give the cat more rewards, just plug the princess's mouth. ”

Seeing that the grandson had made a decision, Hu Yanjin retreated. On the same day, I went to Cheng'en Temple to make an announcement. This result quickly spread in Ying Tianfu.

When he returned to the house in the evening, Huyan Jin saw that Hua Qiao was sitting on the swing in a daze.

Some time ago, she was always depressed, Hu Yanjin asked Xiao Gao and Ah Gua to find some materials, and several men were busy for most of the day before they set up a swing shelf in the yard, but they didn't see her sitting, and they thought she had grown up and didn't like it anymore.

Hu Yanjin walked over and gently shook her twice, only to find out that he was back, and said with a smile: "Don't shake, I'm afraid." ”

"Are you afraid of swinging? Aren't you not afraid of heaven and earth? How can you be afraid of this? ”

This is really a new discovery, people who are not afraid of corpses, are afraid of swinging.

"Well, there's a reason for that...... When I was a child, I was still a tea girl in the academy, and the boys also had a swing in the yard, but they were tied directly to the branches, and they were not as strong as this......"

As soon as Hua Qiao said this, Hu Yanjin also remembered that Hua Qiao had encountered such a danger, but wasn't it okay that time?

"Then they pushed me, and the swing went higher and higher, and finally one of the ropes was worn off, and I fell off the swing. Fortunately, there was a little brother who caught me in the air, and we rolled on the ground together. Before I could see what he looked like, he ran away. ”

"Isn't that all right? Why are you still afraid? Hu Yanjin asked her with a smile.

"Because...... I'm afraid I'm not so lucky, every time a little brother appears, so since then, I don't dare to swing again. ”

"So, what if I tell you that little brother has always been by your side? When he was a child, he liked to wear bamboo blue clothes, and he still likes it when he grows up. ”

Hua Qiao also remembered that the young man who saved her was wearing a bamboo-blue robe.

Her eyes suddenly blurred, and she smiled and said, "Then you push me to try, maybe, now I'm not afraid." ”

In the late autumn of Yingtianfu, the sky is as deep as a mine, and on this moonless night, the dome is studded with stars. In an inconspicuous courtyard, the girl was swinging, her hair brushing over the big hands that pushed her behind her back again and again.

Tenderness, so thick that it can't be dissolved.
