Chapter 207: Official Affairs
"Xie Sanniang, please go upstairs, don't listen to him. I've got it all done, I'll keep it for you! There are not many people who can like my paper, but you really have an eye, and please have a cup of tea in the private room, see how my paper is, and see how it can be improved. ”
Xie Jingyi nodded, "Shopkeeper Zhao is polite, I think your paper is very interesting." ”
Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, please upstairs." ”
As soon as Xie Jingyi entered the elegant room, Shopkeeper Zhao immediately burst out, "Come, bet!" If you can tell me the outcome of today's events, I will give you a hundred gold. ”
Xie Jingyi narrowed his eyes, "Mianmian went to report to that assassin." The assassin died. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao was shocked, and decisively took out a silver ticket and put it on the table, "God, how do you know that the assassin is dead?" ”
Xie Jingyi made a chattering look, "Of course it's the little lady, I'll pinch my fingers......"
Shopkeeper Zhao glanced at her suspiciously, and then shook his head, "Fortune tellers, those are all old Taoist aunts, you are a teenage lady, if you know this, then if you don't beat your mother's womb, you will be a monster." ”
Xie Jingyi quickly put the silver ticket into his money bag, "I can't figure it out, the assassin will die, but I can figure it out, you will bet with me." So after Mianmian went downstairs, I called my personal maid and went down to buy jerky. The jerky shop is a century-old brand, and there are a lot of people in line, and I estimate that when she finishes buying, she will definitely be able to see the movement. ”
"Sure enough, she saw the Praetorian Guards and the people of Kaifeng Mansion."
When the shopkeeper Zhao heard this, he beat his chest and paused, he trembled his hands, pointed at Xie Jingyi and complained, "There is such a brazen person in the world, you pay me back a hundred gold!" ”
Xie Jingyi shook his fingers, "I won with my ability, why should I pay it back!" For the sake of a hundred gold, tell you why I saw the Praetorian Guards and the people of Kaifeng Mansion, and I knew that the assassin was dead. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao is obviously a rich man, and a hundred gold is nothing to him.
He snorted twice, and became interested in what Xie Jingyi said, "Tell me about it." ”
"Our Black Feather Guard is the eyes and ears of the eyeliner, but there are no soldiers. Therefore, only investigating clues and arresting people has to rely on the Praetorian Guards. I found out about the Mianmian matter, and I found you to lay out with Huo Qingxiu, but with the two of you who are powerless, even the assassin is standing in front of you, you can't catch it! ”
"And because it is uncertain whether Mianmian will take the bait, there is a possibility that this operation will fail, and the Praetorian Guard should not be dispatched on a large scale, and only a small number of people will do things. But what the result was, my maid saw a large number of officers and soldiers. When something goes wrong, there is a demon. ”
"Especially since there are people from Kaifeng Mansion, so I boldly speculate that the assassin is not only dead, but it seems that Mianmian killed him at the scene, causing a big stir, and the matter can't be contained, which alarmed Kaifeng Mansion."
"Our Da Chen, although there are many yamen, the things in charge are also criss-crossed, and the boundaries are not clear. But Kaifeng Mansion, the Praetorian Guard, and the Black Feather Guard, the distinction is obvious. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for protecting the security of the Imperial City, the Black Feather Guard is responsible for spying and some investigations that cannot be brought to the table, and the Kaifeng Mansion is responsible for the cases on the surface. ”
"If it weren't for the assassin's death and the trouble, then this matter should be quietly arrested by the Praetorian Guards."
Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Then why isn't Mianmian dead, but the assassin dead?" ”
Xie Jingyi shook his head, "Assassins don't need to move. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly realized and patted his head, "I see, I see." If the assassin kills Mianmian and runs away by himself, when we arrive, we will only report it, and then deal with the aftermath, why should we alarm Kaifeng Mansion. ”
"After Mianmian came out, we followed, and as you might expect, she went to a private house near Suzaku Street. I said to rush in and arrest the person directly, but Huo Bianxiu said to wait and confirm that the person had red spots on his hand, and it was not too late to rush in. ”
"Before the Praetorian Guards went up to the beam, they heard Mianmian's screams, Huo Bianxiu was afraid of revealing his identity, so he flashed, I watched the excitement at the door as an onlooker, the Praetorian Guard slammed the door, the assassin was lying on the ground, covered in blood, Mianmian knelt beside him, and held a knife in his hand."
"I didn't look at it for long, and the people from Kaifeng Mansion came. Then they got into trouble with the Janissaries, and I slipped away......"
Xie Jingyi listened and frowned, "Didn't I tell you?" It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one. We have found evidence that Mianmian is connected to the assassins, and she is definitely not innocent, if she didn't want to fish, we would have caught her early in the morning. Besides, you are not wolves, tigers and leopards, and people who rush in will die, and if you catch the wrong one, you will let them go. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao stopped talking, and muttered softly, "Huo Bianxiu is also afraid of startling the snake, if he catches the wrong one this time, won't the real assassin run away?" ”
Xie Jingyi didn't speak, and sighed in his heart.
She checked the Liu family and Mianmian, but in the end she reported to Huo Qingxiu. After all, she's just a rookie now, and it's not good to do that kind of overstepping. Although she can contact Wu Wuhu directly, she doesn't play cards according to common sense, and it is easy to please the upper echelons of Black Feather Guard.
Who knows what kind of caries is going on between the Black Feather Guard and the Praetorian Guard?
Huo Qingxiu is not the key, but she is a person who wants to climb up, and she can't poke the basket directly as soon as she comes.
That's why we have today's game.
The three of them checked together, which was naturally much faster than her one.
There are no red spots in front of the hands of the mians, not only on the hands, but also on the body. Not only that, but on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, she was indeed hit by the fleeing people, fell into a pile of lanterns, and burned her hands.
But what she didn't say was that the situation at that time was very dangerous, if someone hadn't saved her in time, then she would have burned not only her hands, but the whole person.
After she was rescued, she could have returned to the teahouse to find Liu Yuen, but she didn't.
Why?
Instead of going back, she went to her aunt's house, and that night, she brought back a strange man.
Although no one could see it clearly, and the man had only stayed for one night, Xie Jingyi boldly speculated that the man was most likely an assassin.
Because what Mianmian did later was too suspicious, she first began to persuade Liu Yuen to go to the suburban farm to live, but Liu Yuen was about to enter the palace, and Mrs. Liu was very strict with her, and it was not easy to come out to visit the garden, let alone go out of the city.
This failed, and she frequently sold her jewelry, and then took the money, found a way, and opened a new road.
The children of these official eunuchs, more or less have relationships that others don't know.
She is an official maid, and it is easy to get out of the city, so why bother? Helping people out of town, of course......
