Body Chapter 291: Murder
The two argued for a long time, and the others finally understood the origin of the matter.
It turned out that this Han Daddy was originally the porter in this area of the city who was in charge of picking up the night incense, but he didn't come to work last night for no reason. That Dong Lin is a worker under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, and according to the rules, he wants to stop Daddy Han's errand, so Daddy Han came up and pleaded.
That Daddy Han also knew that he came to ask for someone today, so he changed into new clothes and new pants, so naturally he couldn't say that it was good, but it was clean, but everyone heard that he was a porter who specialized in picking night fragrance, so they all covered their noses and retreated, their eyes were full of disgust, as if it was a strange and smelly thing, and if they got close, they would get into a commotion.
The two were entangled for a long time, Dong Lin didn't let go, and Daddy Han grabbed it again, and he always argued. Dong Lin's patience was exhausted, and he said angrily: "Daddy is so entangled again, but don't blame Dong for turning his face and being ruthless, and pulling Daddy to the yamen to make it clear." ”
Father Han was stunned for a moment, obviously cowardly, but he still didn't let go, and cried: "Dong Gongcao, you can help me this time, my daughter is still sleeping in bed, I want to ask a doctor for medicine, if I lose this errand and have no income, what will my poor daughter do?" ”
Where did Dong Lin pay attention to these? said: "What can I do about your family's affairs?" Daddy Han, I'm not afraid to tell you, it's useless for you to ask me for this matter, the officials above have already spoken, I'm a little Gongcao, where can I help you? If you want me to say, you really don't want to lose this errand, so you can go to the magistrate Cui. ”
Daddy Han's face was a little dazed, he pulled his head, but in the end he still let go, Dong Lin saw him let go, and hurriedly jumped away, but he didn't turn his head back, and ran away without a trace.
Father Han also staggered to his feet, his legs and feet seemed to be numb, and he limped away slowly, and his back was quite pitiful and lonely.
When everyone saw that the master was gone, they also dispersed.
Yi'er finished drinking the bean curd in the bowl, shook her head slightly, and Jiang You said, "What? Do you think that old man is pitiful? ”
Yi'er said: "This Daddy Han is indeed pitiful, but that Gongcao also acts according to the rules of the law, which is understandable, but in the end, he can only blame himself, no wonder others." ”
This matter is over, although Yi'er has some feelings in her heart, but she hasn't thought much about it, she wandered around with Jiang You for a while, and then went back to the county lord's mansion, but what she didn't expect was that only two days later, on the third day, Daddy Han still had an accident.
Jiang You was glad to have Yi'er by his side, and he thought of returning to the Guogong Mansion, fearing that Yi'er would be a little uncomfortable in the morning and dusk, so he insisted on staying in the county lord's mansion for a few more days. Yi'er thought, now that even the eldest princess has returned to Jingdongshan, she is a single family, and the return ceremony of the three dynasties is just a passing scene, if it is delayed for a long time, it will be inappropriate, so she wants to return to the mansion earlier, and she can't beat Jiang You, so she has to stay with him for two days.
Early in the morning of the third day, the couple discussed the matter of returning to the mansion, but the compartment had not yet been decided, but the county lord's mansion suddenly came to the palace attendant and announced that Jiang You had entered the palace to face the saint.
Yi'er was a little strange, so she asked casually, how dare the waiter hold it? He bowed down and said: "Don't worry, the emperor announced that the prince entered the palace this time, because the envoys of the Liukun clan were about to enter Beijing, because of the friendship between the prince and the Mutuo Khan of the Liukun clan, the emperor intended to hand over the reception of the envoys to the prince, so he was in a hurry to announce that the prince would enter the palace to meet him." ”
Yi'er thanked the waiter, personally sent Jiang You out of the weeping flower door, and saw him ride a horse and go out with the waiter, Yi'er only felt that she was suddenly in a trance, before this, she had imagined this picture in front of her countless times, maybe for a woman, sending her husband out in the morning, and looking forward to her husband's early return in the evening is also a kind of stable happiness!
Seeing that Yi'er was a little distracted, Yingu stepped forward and said softly: "Miss, in late autumn, it is cold in the morning, and Miss is dressed thinly, so let's go back." ”
Yi'er glanced back at Yingu, thought for a while, and said, "You go and call out the tears and come out, accompany me to Jinfu Street for a walk." ”
Yingu saw that Yi'er had made up her mind, so she didn't dare to say anything more, so she waited for Yi'er to sit on the wooden bench in the verandah, and then hurriedly called a little girl over, so that she went in and called tears and frightened, she stood aside, seeing that Yi'er seemed to be thinking about something, she didn't dare to come forward to disturb.
When the tears came out, there were several family guards led by Yanqing who hurried over.
Yi'er glanced at Yanqing and said, "I just want to go outside on Jinfu Street for a walk, and I will follow with tears and horrors, and you will also follow me and make a big show, are you afraid that others will not be able to guess my identity?" ”
Yan Qing bowed deeply and said, "When the master leaves the mansion, how can there be no guards around him?" Minion ......"
Yi'er waved her hand and said, "Disperse, if you really can't let go of your heart, you just fall behind and follow alone." ”
Yan Qing received the order, so he had to disperse the guards and fall far behind Yi'er.
As a result, less than a moment after leaving the county lord's mansion, there was a death on the side of Jinwaiqiao.
The people who watched the excitement surrounded one after another, and Yi'er also wanted to go over and take a look, but the tears and smoke were all strongly opposed, there were many people and riots over there, if something really happened, it would not be a joke.
Yan Qing said: "If the master is really curious, let the slave go over to inquire first, and then come back to reply to the master." ”
Yi'er also knew their worries, so she didn't embarrass them by her temperament, so she nodded in response.
Resting in the pavilion on the embankment of Jinwai Bridge, Yanqing went fast and came back faster, and said: "Back to the master, there is someone over there who jumped into the ditch to find a short view, depending on the situation, when he jumped into the water last night, drowned, and the body was hooked by something in the gutter, and only just now did he rush out of the gutter and surface, and then he was discovered." Now that the people from the Yamen have arrived, and the body has also been fished up, the slave inquired, and the person seems to be a person who pours night incense, surnamed Han. ”
"Daddy Han?" Yi'er stood up with a shocked face.
Yanqing was a little surprised, and said, "Master... Know the man? ”
Yi'er sighed and said, "Since the people from the Yamen have already come, what do you say?" Is it really his own diving water, looking for a short view? ”
Yanqing wasn't sure what Yi'er's attitude was, so she didn't dare to play sloppy, and after thinking about it carefully, she said: "Although the people in the yamen didn't say it clearly, but the meaning revealed in the words was not far from ten, I'm afraid it was also eight or nine." However, judging from the minions, there are some bruises in the white of Daddy Han's hands, which should have been grabbed and beaten with people before he died. It's just that the master can imagine that with the identity of Daddy Han, a ninth-rate pariah, who has no backing and no oil and water, where will the people of the yamen really make efforts to investigate and deal with it? They wish it was better to have more than less. ”
Yi'er bit her lip, and knew that what Yanqing said was true, as far as this matter is concerned, there is neither a bitter master nor a witness, but there is something strange, Xing Cao of the Yamen will also choose to turn a blind eye, and finally characterize the matter as self-defeating and self-defeating. He shook his head at the moment and said, "As the saying goes, it is the dead who are the greatest, and since this happened to me, why don't I give him a backer." ”
Yan Qing was stunned, and she didn't hear the meaning of Yi'er's words clearly, and Yi'er said again: "Who is Xing Cao Zhukuai who is in charge of this matter?" You reported my name, and only said that this murder happened outside my county lord's mansion, I want to know more about it, and let him come back and talk. ”
Yan Qing took the order and left, and after a while, he led a catcher in his thirties who wore a knife and came over, and the catcher quickly entered the pavilion, did not dare to raise his head, and bowed down and said: "Jingzhao Mansion is under the jurisdiction of the Liuwenmen Yamen Xing Cao Catcher Duan Shijin has seen the princess. ”
Yi'er raised her hand and said, "Duan Zhutou doesn't need to be polite. ”
Duan Shijin thanked him, and then got up.
Yi'er said: "It's a coincidence, although my county lord's mansion is on Jinfu Street, but today, I have visited this Jinwaiqiao number of times and five fingers are not satisfied. ”
Duan Shijin hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's all dereliction of duty, and there is such a heart-wrenching thing under the rule?" disturbed the princess and the princess, and was guilty of capital punishment. ”
Yi'er said with a smile: "Duan Zhutou is serious. After a pause, he added, "I wonder who died in the ditch?" ”
Duan Shijin said: "It's a porter who specializes in picking night incense." I heard that he had lost this errand for some reason a few days ago, probably because he was depressed and didn't want to open it for a while, so he ......"
Yi'er got up, interrupted Duan Shijin's words, and said, "Picker? But the surname Han? ”
Duan Shijin was stunned for a moment, muttering in his heart, could it be that His Royal Highness the county lord, the princess of the Ningguo Mansion, would still recognize a Yexiang porter that everyone avoided? Immediately, he was a little apprehensive, and said: "It's surnamed Han, the princess ......."
Yi'er sighed, shook her head and said, "I saw this Han Daddy here a few days ago, how could I have thought that in the blink of an eye, I would ...... Alas, by the way, he still has a sick girl at home, I wonder what is happening now? ”
This time, Duan Shijin's face changed slightly, he thought that the deceased was just a night fragrance porter, insignificant, just deal with it casually, there would be no chaos, let alone any storms, but he never dreamed that this high-ranking princess, the incomparably noble lord of Wanming, would know such a little person at the bottom of the mud, and listening to the tone, it seemed to be quite familiar.
Duan Shijin couldn't figure it out, how could there be any intersection between these two types of people? But the facts in front of him are here, but he can't help but be cautious.
The dignified county lord of Wanming, the princess of the Ningguo Mansion, since she is familiar with the deceased, then this murder case will definitely not dare to deal with it at will. Duan Shijin is a person who understands, Yi'er specially asked someone to call him over, and deliberately said this mat in front of him, he naturally knew what it meant. I'm afraid that if this case is not investigated, with Yi'er's approval, he will not dare to close the case rashly.
