"Knock~~, the weather is dry, be careful of the fire candle~~!"

On a cold night, there was silence except for the sound of the watch.

In the silence, there were a few dark shadows running through the rooftops of the street, and disappeared in an instant.

In the main courtyard of the backyard of Xue Mansion, at a time when normal people should have fallen asleep, it was still bright everywhere, indicating that the owner of the courtyard had not yet fallen asleep.

The old Xue Laoguo sat behind the desk in the study, and his pen was flying.

"Squeak~~" The old duchess pushed the door in with tea and put it on the table, with helplessness on her face, "Master, it's late, drink ginseng tea and go to rest?" ”

Xue Laoguo didn't raise his head, "Let it go, you go and rest first, and I'll come in a while." ”

Duchess Xue sighed, turned around and left without saying anything.

The night gradually got deeper and deeper, and after a long time, Xue Laoguo put down the pen, personally raised the lamp, and left the study.

It's just that he didn't know that just now on his front foot, a black shadow on his back foot entered the study through the window.

&

In the main courtyard of King Xian's Mansion, standing with his back to the window at midnight, a hand-copied letter was placed on the table not far behind him.

"Nineteenth Master, what should we do now?" The one who spoke was Deng Biao, the head of the Criminal Department, a burly man, whose arm muscles looked as if he was about to tear his clothes.

The other people were staring at the back of Midnight with burning eyes, and these of them, Yan Haoze in Langzhong, Wei Ziru in the right attendant, Wei Renyi, the director of the capital, Mao Jianmin, and Lin Quan, the director of the Ministry of Bi, were all looking forward to the midnight horse.

Midnight did not turn around and asked, "What do you see?" ”

Wei Ziru thought for a while and said: "Nineteen masters, the lower officials look at it, if this matter is according to the letter, Hai Mingzhi's death is really too unjust, but this matter is too widespread, if the nineteenth master investigates again, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the nineteenth master." ”

Wei Ren also agreed with Wei Ziru's words, "Nineteenth Master, the emperor ordered you to investigate this case, but he did not specify the time, so the Nineteenth Master might as well push this matter backwards." ”

Deng Biao, who was anxious, quit, slapped the table and glared at the two of them angrily, "According to your meaning, that kid from Haiming died in vain?" ”

Yan Haoze was taken aback, patted his chest and shouted with an unhappy face: "You have the ability, you go to Zhongzheng Houfu, arrest Zhongzhenghou, and then tell the world that the future grandson-in-law of the eldest princess not only made people's stomachs bigger, but his father also wrote a letter to ask the father of the woman who was made to have a big belly to lose her child, and even people were crazy, and then pushed the responsibility to Haihou Mansion."

Then Haiming, who was married to the woman in Haihou's mansion, died, and the cause of death is unknown, and the whereabouts of the body are unknown. Hehehehe, the great Deng Da catcher, you are so powerful, then tell me, how can the nineteenth master solve this case? ”

Deng Biao is impatient, but he is not stupid, otherwise he would not be sitting here.

He was impulsive just now, but Yan Haoze seemed to have no head or tail, in fact, he had already made it clear, and he also understood that the nineteenth master was embarrassed by this, so he held back his red face and didn't look at Yan Haoze, but he didn't speak again.

Mao Jianmin, the head of the metropolitan official, came out to be a peacemaker, "What the nineteenth master wants to investigate is Haiming's case, as long as Haiming's case is sorted out, there is no need to move to these later roads." Nineteenth master, look at it, we can ignore this letter first, find out Haiming's corpse as the focus, and then know the cause of death, and then we can proceed to the next step. ”

Midnight turned around and sat down behind the table, Eryang crossed his legs, tapped his knees with his fingertips, nodded, and approved Mao Jianmin's words, "I suspect that Haiming is not dead at all." ”

Everyone was shocked, and Lin Quan, the head of the department, asked puzzledly: "Nineteenth master, if Haiming is not dead, why does Haihou Mansion go to the Criminal Department to report the case?" ”

Midnight rubbed his temples widely, but did not speak.

Wei Ziru said his inner guess: "The Nineteenth Master is too famous, and everyone wants to take advantage of it." Looking for the regent, they didn't dare, so they came to find the Nineteenth Master.

It can be seen from the copied back letter that Zhongzheng Houfu and Fuguo Gongfu, no matter what their reason is, their purpose is to target Haihoufu.

If Heming really didn't die, there are two possibilities now. 1. Haihou Mansion hid Haiming, and used Haiming's fake death to beg the emperor to let the Nineteenth Master personally take charge of the case.

These two, Haiming fell into the hands of some people, Haihou Mansion reported the case to the Criminal Department, and used Haiming's fake death to rescue Haiming by the hands of the Nineteenth Master. ”

"Oh my God, this is too messy." Deng Biao said that his head was no longer enough.

Mao Jianmin persuaded: "Nineteenth Master, if it is really as Master Wei said, then Haihou Mansion wants to fall into the Nineteenth Master and several difficulties, and the Nineteenth Master should think twice." ”

It's not just a few difficulties, it's just to trap the nineteen masters in a place of injustice and unfilial piety.

The eldest princess is the eldest sister of the emperor, and her status in the emperor's heart is even higher than that of the queen, the emperor has just personally recognized the nineteenth master as his son, if the nineteenth master now makes the eldest princess look gloomy, it is disloyal and unfilial, and the emperor may be annoyed by the nineteenth master because of this.

Midnight suddenly turned his eyes to Deng Biao, and Deng Biao's uncomfortable buttocks moved, "Nineteenth master, you have something to order." "Don't look at him with that look, he's hairy all over.

"You find a trustworthy subordinate, you have to be a good person, preferably the kind that has a good eye for acting, and from tomorrow onwards you will be staring at the back door of Haihou Mansion, don't care about others, and keep an eye on the old housekeeper next to Hai Lao Houye."

"Yes, don't worry, Nineteen Masters."

As soon as everyone heard Midnight's order, they knew that he had a plan in their hearts, and they were all relieved.

Wei Ziru smiled and asked, "Nineteenth Master, how did you guess that Haiming was not dead?" ”

"The old man of the Hai family, since he loves his grandson so much, he went to beg the emperor to solve the case overnight. But he seems to be in a hurry on the surface, but in fact, when you think about it, he is not in a hurry at all.

The master wanted to check the corpse, but he refused to live or die, crying like his dead father, which can only show that he either couldn't take out the corpse for the lord to see, or he was frightened by the name of the white-faced god, afraid that the lord would see that the corpse was fake.

The lord asked people to stare at the Haihou Mansion for a few days, and sure enough, the Hailao Pifu Lingtang never entered half a step. A person who loves his grandson, how can his grandson die without sending a single step?

It can only be stated 。。。。。。

There was either no body in the coffin in the mourning hall, or it was not Hemming himself. ”

Everyone is enlightened, no one doubts what Midnight said, the people present, who doesn't know that Midnight is a person with his own secret guard, he can find out these things they don't know, it's normal.

Yan Haoze suddenly remembered something, "Nineteenth Master, tomorrow is the New Year's banquet held by the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and my family has received an invitation, so you should have received it Nineteenth Master, right?" Will you be there tomorrow? ”

Midnight sent him a weird smile, "Go, why don't you go." I have been invisible in the capital for many years, is it possible, don't you think it is time for you to go out and show your face? ”
