Yuan Qing nodded, his hands trembling slightly.

Since reading "The Three Kings Clearing Grievances", he has been full of respect for the fat man in front of him, and asked Jiang Yanzhi to investigate this case, which he also proposed to the emperor, in order to be more convincing, he also saved money for a month, bought a new book, and gave it to the little emperor.

This is not a fantasy in the book, this is a real person standing in front of him!

"The first deceased, named Shunu, was a herdsman on the outskirts of the city. On the fifteenth day of the new year, he would come out to the market and sell some milk cakes, goat milk and mutton and other things, and he would come before dawn until the night market closed in the middle of the night. Early in the morning, it was found that his donkey cart was parked in a small alley, and his people were overturned on the wheels, and the unsold items in the cart were all there, and no one had stolen them. ”

"At first, Shunu was treated by us as a sudden death from a vicious illness and the case was closed. Until the second deceased appeared, the second deceased, named Wenchang, was a master who taught Chinese characters and Chinese poetry. Wenchang was originally from Yunzhou, and only came to the royal capital later. Wenchang is good at painting beauties, and those people in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion often ask him to paint portraits. ”

"Wenchang portrait, I don't like the flower girl to sit stiffly and rigidly, I like to paint when they accompany the guests to drink and have fun, the painting is very vivid, and many dignitaries and nobles like his paintings. One day he came out of the flower building, and was found by his husband at night and died on the street. The death was exactly the same as that of Shunu, which aroused my suspicions. ”

Immediately after, a third man died. He was an old carpenter, who lived in the west of the city, and went out at night to buy wine and drink, and was also killed. ”

"This fourth person is the lady of the Zheng Butcher's family that we heard about at the noodle stall before. Her mother's brother and daughter-in-law were going to give birth in the middle of the night, so she asked her to go back to help, and hurriedly went out. ”

"The fifth person is the little guy we saw in the palace. He accompanied people on a cruise, but was left behind halfway, and on the way back to Xiaolou, he was killed. ”

"The sixth person is Xiao Zhe, who came out of the little widow's house and was killed."

"We have also thought about what you said about the three kings, but these six people are herdsmen, masters, carpenters, butchers, butchers, and officials...... The status is completely different, and the place where they live is also very different. It's ......."

Yuan Qing said, his face wrinkled.

Jiang Yanzhi shook his head, "No, you are right in the first half of the sentence, they have different identities, there are men and women, nobles and commoners, and there are people of three religions and nine ranks, but the place where they operate is not the opposite of each other." At least four of them will be in the same place on a regular basis. ”

"You are familiar with the king, but it is not so easy to see clearly. I've just arrived, and last night he took us to the night market. Butcher Zheng's pork stall, the flower street and willow lane where the master Wenchang and the little man are going, the night market where Shu Nu goes to set up a stall, and the little widow's house where Xiao Zhe lives, are all near your yamen. ”

"That is, a place south of the royal capital. The only exception was the carpenter, who lived in the west of the city. But the carpenter, unlike others, went directly to the Lord's house to do his work. What if, one day, he happens to take a job in the south of the city? So how many of them gathered together? ”

Yuan Qing was startled, and quickly pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled on it.

Jiang Yanzhi said, raising his chin, "According to my speculation, they have a place where they intersect, and they can be scaled down a little more." Others go out at night, not by chance. The master Wenchang and the little man were stunned, as well as Shu Nu, they all came out to work at night, and the carpenter sometimes rushed to work, and they also worked all night. ”

"There is only one person, that is, the only woman here, the butcher's lady Zheng, she doesn't go out at night on weekdays, because she can't give birth to children every day for her brother and daughter-in-law, right?"

"We can boldly speculate that if the six of them have an intersection, they must be near Mrs. Zheng's house."

Min Weixiu thought about it and nodded, Jiang Yanzhi is really smart, how can he see such a truth from the mess?

When she was in Kaifeng Mansion, she often visited the market, and the meat sellers were not all squatting together, and Shunu was a mutton seller, so it was reasonable to put the stall near the meat mound of Zheng Butcher.

Jiang Yanzhi felt Min Weixiu's appreciative gaze, his whole body was full of energy, and he worked harder and harder.

"Not only the place, but also the time, it can only be a specific day. Because there is a very special person here, that is, Shunu, who only enters the city on the first and fifteenth days of each month. ”

Yuan Qing suddenly realized.

"Think about it, what special things happened around that neighborhood before this serial murder?"

"The original magistrate, you were not in the royal capital some time ago. Just a month ago, someone came to report the case, but was driven away by Xiao Tuiguan, and it was related to a small alley opposite Zheng Tuifu's house. ”

"I went to examine the body, and the deceased's name was Nahua, and he had hanged himself. Xiao Tuiguan said that the government that committed suicide didn't care, so he drove away his father. ”

Jiang Yanzhi nodded, "You tell me about this case in detail." ”

He thought about it for a while, "The father of the flower said, and I don't know which long-tongued woman spread rumors everywhere, saying that the flower in his family is inappropriate and a secret prostitute." The alley of their house is very dark, there is no light at night, although it is very close to the downtown area, but because there are no good restaurants and no stalls, there are few people at night. ”

"The rumor is very unbearable.,It's said that someone saw it.,That flower night with the same person in the alley...... Ahem...... The flower couldn't stand it, and she cried at home for a long time, and she didn't dare to go out, because every day someone went to their door and said some foul language. The father of the flower is a dart master who goes south and north, and when he went out to walk the dart that day, the flower was at the door of his own house, and he was given a light ...... That night, she committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam. ”

"As soon as the flower's father came back, he came to the yamen to complain. He said that he wanted to arrest the person who despised her, as well as those who insulted her at the door and spread rumors. It's just that the flower is suicidal, and the person who despises her is just pulling it, so what if she catches it back? ”

And so the matter was over. Because Xiao Tuiguan pushed it off on the spot, it was because of this case, which was not recorded at all. It was also when I saw that Hua his father was pitiful, so I went to examine the corpse. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, it is self-hanging. ”

Min Weixiu was a little embarrassed, what if it wasn't a woman's survival?

You just touched your upper lip to your lower lip and said a few words casually, but as soon as those words came out, they became knives and directly killed the person in the rumor.

Give a dog a bad name and hang him.
