The short, also thin man squatted down, put a handful on the ground and put it to the tip of his nose to sniff, and shook his head, "There is no smell of gunpowder." ”

"It's a really strange explosion." The thin scribe patted his head, "My lord, it is said that the new official has three fires, but this is the first one that I am rushing to help you burn." ”

The short official slapped off the cigarette ash on his hands, stood up again, and turned his head to look at the yacha behind him, "Are you sure that Lord Qian has really been seeing the hell for many days in a row?" ”

The back row of yacha nodded in unison.

There was a bold one who said, "New ...... My lord, if it wasn't a ghost, could it really be the box given by the county lord of Ningsu...... The reason for that box of noodles? ”

The short official waved his hand, "This official is not surnamed 'Xin', but Ye." ”

Without waiting for the yacha to speak again, Ye Zhiyi said again: "First, the composition of Hu powder is lead, which cannot cause an explosion; Second, according to your description, the box of powder can hold up to five taels.

"To cause an explosion of this magnitude, in terms of today's gunpowder, it would take about five catties."

He pointed over, and it was dark as far as the eye could see, especially the bedroom where Qian Zhennian and his wife slept before, almost everything had been blown up.

All the officials nodded in unison again, and whispered to each other: "Then it can only be a ghost ......"

Ye Zhiyi rubbed his wrists, he didn't expect the first public case after his promotion to be so complicated, and the capital was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

He turned around, "You continue to search Lord Qian's bedroom, and you can't let go of anything, even confetti, broken porcelain, and the like." ”

The officials looked at each other, a little disgusted that the place was dirty, but they could only do it.

Liu Run, the chief bookkeeper who followed him into Beijing together, walked back to Ye Zhiyi's side, took the expressions of those officials into his eyes, and sneered secretly.

"How?" Ye Zhiyi looked at him.

Liu Run shrugged, "It's not as good as Xiuning County." ”

With the tacit understanding between the two of them for many years, Ye Zhiyi certainly understood what he was referring to, and smiled, "Then it should be the second fire of the new official." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"Master—Master Qiqi," a small servant suddenly rushed in from outside the gate and saluted respectfully, "Someone just sent a post, saying that they were going to wash the dust for the master and the master tonight." ”

Ye Zhiyi frowned, but still took the post in the little girl's hand and glanced at it cursoryly.

The words on the post were very deliberate, and there were no excessive words, but the name of the payment made Ye Zhiyi squint.

Liu Run leaned over and took a look, "Boss Honghu Tower?" It can't be a place for fireworks, right? He laughed as he spoke.

"It's not serious." Ye Zhiyi kicked him and looked at the little guy, "What do you hear?" ”

This little guy's name is Lan Dong, he is clever and loyal, and he is also the person he brought from Xiuning County.

Lan Dong nodded with a smile, "Lord Ben is not right, it is the largest restaurant in the capital, there are two branches in the capital alone, and there are three or four in the Gyeonggi area, to say the least."

"If you talk about the big restaurants in the capital, there are too many Chunfeng Lou behind the second Chunfeng Building behind the name of Honghu Building, which can be described as thunderous......"

"Okay, okay, just your mouth, go and pick up guests for Honghu Tower, don't bend here." Liu Run hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him.

Lan Dong was still smiling, "But the little one is reluctant to let the master and Master Liu book." ”

Liu Run scolded with a smile: "The stinky boy is still poor-" made a gesture to go up and beat people, but Lan Dong immediately ran away.

Liu Run rubbed his wrist and glanced at Ye Zhiyi, "My lord, are we really going?" ”

Ye Zhiyi slowly resealed the invitation back to its original state, "Since you want to know yourself and your opponent, why don't you dare to go to the appointment?" But now I'd like to know something else......"

He grabbed a messenger who passed by him, "Has the file of the case that Lord Qian came to handle in the last month been burned?" ”

The captured yacha was startled and shook his head regretfully, "The last two months should have been burned." However, Master Wang should still remember a lot, and he has always had a good memory. ”

Ye Zhiyi was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still said quietly: "Ask Master Wang to come over." ”

Yacha hurriedly ran away, and after a while, a little old man with a gray beard came over, and saluted Ye Zhiyi and the others resignedly.

I thought that this old man was too old to remember, but he didn't expect that when it came to the cases in the last half month, he really remembered everything clearly.

Liu Run recorded everything that the old man said in the book, and when he sent the old man away, he swept the name on it and couldn't help laughing, "As soon as I came back, I saw the old man." ”

Following his fingers, Ye Zhiyi saw the line "The maid of the Weiguo Mansion murdered the master but was killed by his brother" in the first place.

He read the rest of the content silently, and said in surprise: "Isn't it when the third lady left Beijing and appeared in Xiuning County?" ”

"It's not that coincidental." Liu Run smiled, "Miss Huo San caught people and sent them to the Yamen, after she left Beijing, the only witness was killed, and the murderer also committed suicide, tsk......"

Ye Zhiyi bowed slightly, and flipped through the content behind again, but did not see any flaws.

In this way, the biggest possibility is that this case is involved.

Either the Weiguo Mansion was unwilling to punish the former Jing Zhao Yin, or the murderer, that is, the relatives of the victim and the witness, took revenge on Jing Zhao Yin, who was sentenced in the gourd case.

Looking at the sky overhead, Ye Zhiyi thought for a moment, "First hand over a post to the Weiguo Mansion as a courtesy, and tomorrow we will come to visit Miss Huo San." ”

"Now it's the county lord of Ningsu." Liu Run corrected with a smile.

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you." Ye Zhiyi waved his hand, "Remember to change your clothes before going to the banquet." ”

On the first day of the new Jing Zhaoyin's appointment, a post was sent to the Weiguo Mansion, which attracted the attention of everyone in the Guogong Mansion.

In particular, it was clearly written on the worship post that he only asked to see Huo Yunqian, the lord of Ningsu County.

This made Mrs. Feng and Huo Mingyou a little uneasy.

Originally, Huo Yunqian was also a little worried, but when he saw the name of the last payment of the post, his heart suddenly lightened, and he said with a smile: "Since it is Lord Ye who came to investigate the case, he must be trustworthy." ”

But she was still a little surprised.

She only remembered that Ye Zhiyi in the first life was the final official servant, but she didn't remember that he had been Jing Zhaoyin for a while?

But since this case has been handed over to him, he only needs to be guided a little, and with Ye Zhiyi's ability, he may be able to disgust the prince again.

"I hope so." Huo Mingyou had never heard of this person at all, so he responded casually, turned his head to look at the sky outside, looked at Huo Yunqian, and coughed lightly.

Of course, Huo Yunqian understood, and suddenly got up and said to Mrs. Feng: "Mother~ The third brother promised to invite me to eat Chunfeng Lou in Liangzhou, I won't have dinner at home today, go and knock on the third brother's bamboo bar, okay?" ”
