Chapter 40: Proof (3)
The power is not low..... Tang Yao secretly pondered, if the power is not low, and this person can secretly make so many things, then it can only show one point, this mysterious person is definitely not an ordinary person.
"What is the identity of Liu San who poisoned your father?"
"It's just an ordinary servant of the Bai family, when he was living on the streets, his father took pity on him and was helpless, so he took him into the house as a handyman."
"Is this person still in the capital?"
Bai Lingxuan shook his head slightly, "Less than five days after my father's death, he was found drowned in the moat, and the cause of death was drunkenness and falling into the water. ”
Tang Yao secretly thought, where is this drunk and fell into the water to die, it is obvious that someone with a heart wants to kill people and kill people. Tang Yao hid his thoughts and smiled gratefully at Bai Lingxuan, "Thank you." Before leaving, although Tang Yao had a lot of words to comfort Bai Lingxuan, he couldn't say it.
He patted her on the shoulder, but couldn't say a word. Presumably it was not easy for her to come this way, after all, she had carried so much.
"A-Yao." She called to her softly.
"Huh?" Tang Yao stopped at the door.
"Please, you must.... must wash away his father's grievances. ”
Tang Yao looked back at the corners of her lips with a confident smile, "Don't worry, I will." ”
The case of Huai'an Disaster Relief Silver being swallowed seems to be not simple, although she patted her chest to reassure Bai Lingxuan, but... She's actually a little stressed....... I always feel that this matter will involve a lot, even the existence that even she can't offend, such as a symbol of power.
But it's useless to think so much, since she has Wei Chichenfeng's guarantee, what is she afraid of. If she wants to prove her strength to her boss, then she can only bite the bullet, and there is nothing to fear when she thinks about it. In life, the big deal is to die, anyway, she has already died once, so why be afraid of dying again! Maybe if she dies accidentally, she'll be able to return to her own world.
It's not bad to think about it that way.
Tang Yao's brain was still quite clear, and all the way out of Baohua Building, she was thinking about the ins and outs of this matter with her eyes down. There is not much difference between what is said in the secret document and Lingxuan's, so it can basically be concluded that someone secretly interfered in the case of Huai'an disaster relief silver being swallowed twice, otherwise Wang Shen would not have the courage to blame.
As for Bai Weichang's death, in the final analysis, it still has to be investigated from Liu San's body, this person has only been dead for a few years, and the body is estimated to have gone to the ground a long time ago, and there is nowhere to check if she wants to. Wait a minute.... It seems that she has overlooked something, not that there is nowhere to look.
The Criminal Department is the place where the court retains criminal cases, so the events of that year will definitely be recorded. But the Criminal Department, without the emperor's will, casually checks it, it is estimated that no one will agree.... Wait a minute..... Isn't there also a jade plaque from the Marquis of Weichi's Mansion?
Sure enough, when Tang Yao arrived at the Criminal Department, the guards guarding the door stopped Tang Yao, saying that there was no Holy Decree in the Criminal Department, and he was not allowed to enter without authorization. Tang Yao unhurriedly lit up the jade plaque, and the face of the guard guarding the door changed suddenly, and then invited Tang Yao in extremely respectfully.
Tang Yao, who was respected as a guest, had not yet taken a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and Xie Tiancheng, the waiter of the Criminal Department, appeared in person to receive Tang Yao.
Xie Tiancheng, "Isn't this the new champion Tang?" Why do you have time to sit in the Criminal Department today? ”
Tang Yao didn't talk to him sloppily, and said directly, "I was ordered by the Marquis of Wei Chi to investigate the case of Huai'an disaster relief silver being swallowed three years ago. ”
Xie Tiancheng, "The case of Huai'an disaster relief silver being swallowed twice... It seems that the Hou Ye was arranged by the emperor. ”
Emperor? Lee South Africa? Whether it's Li Nanan or not, she doesn't know, but since Xie Tiancheng thinks so, then it's okay.
Tang Yao bowed slightly, indicating that he responded to Xie Tiancheng's words.
Xie Tiancheng, "I don't know what Lord Tang wants to check?" ”
Tang Yao, "You submit all the case records of the Huai'an Disaster Relief Silver Annexation Case." ”
"Yes, the lower official obeys the order."
Looking at the pile of record copy, Tang Yao couldn't believe his eyes. So many documents turned out to be all about the case of Huai'an disaster relief silver being swallowed twice.
Xie Tiancheng bowed his hand slightly, and said, "This is the document of the Huai'an Disaster Relief Silver Swallow Case, from the characters to the occurrence of a total of twenty-three volumes, please take a look at it." ”
Tang Yao bowed slightly, his eyes swept over the twenty-three volumes of documents, and then he took out a few copies and looked at them a few times. Then she put the document back in its place, and said to Xie Tiancheng with some embarrassment, "Lord Xie, I want to borrow these twenty-three volumes, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
Xie Tiancheng agreed, "What did you say, since it was the order of the Marquis of Wei Chi, the subordinate should try his best to assist." These twenty-three volumes of documents will be arranged for people to be sent to the Tang Mansion by Lord Tang. ”
"Well, thank you."
Tang Yaozai carefully checked the twenty-three volumes of documents, including the places marked in black and white, and Tang Yao did not let go. If Wang Shen wants to expedite the delivery of the fold to Li Nannan for 800 miles, it also needs a certain process, that is to say, when he secretly sued Bai Weichang, the mysterious person secretly helped.
Otherwise, according to the rules of the palace, even if the emperor saw the twist, if it wasn't for the mysterious person who helped, why would Li Nannan be so angry, and even behead all over the house!
Then a key point of all this is still on Liu San's body. If there is evidence to show that Liu San did not fall into the river when he was drunk and stumbled, on the contrary, if someone deliberately killed people..... Thinking of this, Tang Yao instructed Xuan Qing beside him, "Xuan Qing, you go and inquire about the person who performed the autopsy for Liu San three years ago is still there." ”
"Well, I'll go."
Xuan Qing's work efficiency was so fast that Tang Yao was very surprised. In just one day, he returned to the Tang Mansion with the news.
Xuan Qing said, "I've already inquired." ”
Tang Yao asked, "Oh? Where is this person? ”
"Jixi Yizhuang outside the city."
As the name suggests, Yizhuang is a place where coffins are stored, and ordinary people usually have nothing to do, so they go to Yizhuang to find things, but Tang Yao is not one of these ordinary people.
Lan Xiang heard that Tang Yao was going out of the city, and she wanted to follow as soon as she was interested, Tang Yao really didn't know how to explain to her, she didn't lead Xuanqing to the city to play. After hesitating for a while, and not knowing how to answer the little girl's request, Tang Yao was quite helpless.
Xuan Qing saw her helplessness, and said to Lan Xiang with a cold face, "We men go out to do errands, you little girl don't get involved." One sentence made the little girl speechless, so she could only stay obediently in the Tang Mansion to watch the house.
Although I am very grateful to Xuan Qing for helping me speak, and I am also grateful for him speaking so directly, but... Now that he knows his identity, this so-called us man ..... Tang Yao thought that she should be able to ignore it automatically, anyway, she was used to it.
Tang Yao couldn't ride a horse, so he could only sit in the carriage and be driven by Xuan Qing to Jixi Yizhuang outside the city.
When I arrived at Yizhuang, it was already noon. Tang Yao jumped out of the carriage and looked at a huge courtyard in front of him. Just by looking at it, you can see several coffins parked in the courtyard. There are no signboards in the courtyard, nothing except the coffin, which is a slightly humble room.
Tang Yao walked in with a step, without the slightest appearance that a woman would be afraid. Xuan Qing's eyes flickered on Tang Yao, it seemed very strange, this Tang Yao, who was dressed as a man, didn't she have anything to be afraid of? What kind of girl from an ordinary family dares to enter Yizhuang like her.
Of course, Tang Yao didn't know what he thought. She looked into the courtyard and stopped at the corner of the courtyard on an old man dressed in sackcloth. It was noon on which he leaned on a shabby recliner and closed his eyes. Tang Yao stepped forward and said to the man slightly, "Dare to ask the old gentleman, but he is the steward of this Yizhuang?" ”
The old man opened his eyes, looked at Tang Yao contemptuously and said, "It's the old man, if the son wants to park the coffin, if there are vacancies in the Yizhuang, the son can just let it go." ”
Tang Yao was not annoyed or angry about the old man's rude appearance, but said mildly, "Old man, I don't want to park the coffin, I just want to ask the old man about something." ”
"What?"
"Old gentleman, do you still remember Liu San who was drunk and stumbled three years ago?"
The old man's face was suddenly startled, obviously he knew something, and then he quietly calmed down the expression on his face, "Childe is talking about that Liu San, a slippery head who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, the old man saw that he was lonely, so he kindly collected the corpse for him, why is Childe a relative of that Liu San?" ”
Tang Yao waved his hand and said, "The old gentleman misunderstood, I am not his relative. ”
"That's right." The old man closed his eyes again and basked in the sun.
Tang Yao didn't plan to follow the old man much better, so he said directly, "I heard that after Liu San died, it was the old gentleman who gave him a corpse. So I wanted to ask the old gentleman, if there is anything unusual! ”
The old man waved his hand impatiently, "What's abnormal, isn't it just a white and chubby corpse." ”
Although Tang Yao has a good temper, he also has his own limit, and if he grinds like this, this person still refuses to say anything, even Tang Yao can't help but scold in his heart.
Xuan Qing behind him was not a good-natured lord, and seeing that the old man's tone was so arrogant, he directly pulled out the long sword on his waist. As soon as the cold light flashed, he put his long sword against the old man's neck and said coldly, "You say it or not!" ”
The old man's face turned white, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Tang Yao and the others, and said in horror, "Hey.. Son... I don't have a good brain today, you have a lot of adults, please let me go of this old man, I... I'll say everything..... Say anything! "This person really doesn't want to be sweet, he has to suffer a little.
Very satisfied with the old man's performance, Tang Yao raised his chin slightly and said, "It's your acquaintance, let's talk about it." ”
"Although Liu San fell into the river and died, I found that his Tianling Baihui acupoint was recast with a silver needle, and I think he was already dead before falling into the river."
"Baihui Acupoint?" Tang Yao was puzzled.
Xuan Qing explained, "It is the acupoint on the head and heart of the Du Mai, which is the three yangs of the hands and feet, and it is one of the dead acupoints. ”
