Jiang Yanshi stood in the light moonlight, turned his head and looked around, the second prince's county palace, he had been here more than once, and there was always a lingering wealth and luxury in the elegance of the day, far less than this.

Jiang Yanshi sighed a little, the mansions of the second and third children were all built and arranged by Su Ye, and when you look at the moon at this time, they are several times more elegant and natural than during the day.

Thinking of Su Ye now, a linen monk's robe, thin cheeks sunken in, Jiang Yanshi was a little in a trance, and now Su Ye, like this mansion under the moon, has taken off the wealth and luxury, but it is truly elegant.

"Here we are." The little servant next to him reminded in a low voice, Jiang Yanshi turned around and looked at the second princess Hou who was not walking fast, but was walking very steadily.

The Hou family is full of filial piety, thin and obscure, revealing a faint hint of anger.

Jiang Yanshi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then relaxed, such a Hou family is very good.

"Princess." After leaving seven or eight steps, Jiang Yanshi took a step forward, stood in the moonlight, and bowed to the end.

Hou stood straight and looked at Jiang Yanshi coldly.

"The princess is standing here and talking, okay? Your house is not entirely proper. Jiang Yanshi met Hou's gaze and leaned sideways to the shade of the tree next to him.

A moment later, Hou took a few steps forward and stood in the shadows.

"Knowing that the second master went to Potai Mountain, I asked people to go over and wanted to protect him, but it was too late." Jiang Yanshi's voice was like this moonlight, revealing an indescribable tenderness in the coldness.

Hou's body trembled as if he didn't seem to have any, and his hoarse voice was filled with sadness, "You joined forces to kill him, you have already killed him, there is no need to say such things." ”

"I never thought of letting the second master die, and the third master, let alone the prince, people as beautiful as the second master and the third master should live well." Jiang Yanshi's words paused, and calmly met Hou's sarcastic gaze, "The second master and the third master are too beautiful, from the outside to the inside, suitable for the wind and snow, but I don't know what the real conspiracy is, the princess is a smart person, this one should be seen very clearly."

I have been with the prince since I was a child, I grew up with the second master and the third master, I have seen the big since I was a child, I know what kind of people the second master and the third master are, and the prince knows even more, such a second master and the third master, keep the decoration of peace, whitewash the royal brothers, friends and brothers, show the prince's generosity and kindness, the best. ”

Hou closed his eyes slightly, looked away, and looked at the cold moonlight in the courtyard, the garden under the moonlight was very elegant, but it was so alienated.

She has always wondered if he is such a person, so comfortable, so elegant, so beautiful, such an innocent and kind person, is it not good to be a rich prince?

"I heard that the second master was gone, and the princess cried several times. I heard the crown princess say that when the princess knew that she was going to be engaged to the second master, she had secretly told her, and I couldn't believe it was true. Jiang Yonsei's voice was low and slow.

Hou's tears fell in big drops.

When she was very young, the first time she saw the second master, it was like seeing an immortal in the sky, because he was too beautiful, too noble, everything was too good and too good, she didn't even dare to think about it, and then he came to her house to ask for marriage, she listened to the girl's report, thinking that she was in a trance, and she had a sweet dream during the day.

For more than half a month after the marriage, she often fell asleep and woke up suddenly, because she dreamed that she was going to marry the second master, which was a sweet dream, and she woke up from a beautiful dream...... Now the dream is gone.

"The second master is very unwilling." Jiang Yanshi looked at her and sighed lowly.

Hou closed his eyes, when the second master came back, she scrubbed him with her own hands and changed his clothes, the look on his face, so frightened, so angry, the wide open eyes, she used her strength to close......

"What are the princess's plans?" Jiang Yanshi asked softly.

Hou was stunned.

What are her plans? What could she have planned? Naturally, she has to guard him for the rest of her life, she ...... That's not what he's asking!

"What do you mean by that?" Hou looked up at Jiang Yanshi.

Jiang Yanshi met her gaze calmly, but did not speak.

"What do you want to do?" Hou's voice sharpened.

"She killed the third master, and then killed the second master, there was a sixth master before, and the next one, I don't know if it was the fourth master or the fifth master, it was about the fourth master, the fifth master should be left until the end, and after the fourth master, it was about the prince. She is sure that no one is as ruthless as her, like her, the third master is dead, you just cry, now that the second master is dead, you just cry, at most scolding, she is sure that you can't do anything else. Alas. ”

Jiang Yanshi looked at the Hou family, and there was an indescribable meaning in his sigh.

"Are you calculating against me? Do you want to borrow a knife to kill someone? Hou squinted at Jiang Yanshi with a little anger.

"Does the princess have a knife?" Jiang Yanshi faced the Hou family's not very firm anger, "The second master's knives have all been lost in Potai Mountain together with Bai Yue. The princess doesn't have a knife, but I can lend a knife to the princess, and the princess will set up a game, and the princess will kill him. ”

Hou pursed her mouth tightly, she has been guarding in front of the second master's spirit in the past few days, sad and angry, I don't know how many times she has thought about it, if she can avenge the second master, the second master will definitely be very happy, but she is a weak woman, she is defenseless......

"I'm going to think about it." Hou suppressed the intense emotion in his heart that he couldn't tell whether it was excitement or fear.

"Okay, but, this matter, please think about it yourself, don't talk to anyone, they are everywhere, this, the princess should have already understood, once people know, I am afraid that the princess will immediately be overly sad and die in front of the soul."

Jiang Yonsei solemnly warned.

Hou pursed his lips tightly, mumbled, turned around and left.

Jiang Yanshi looked at her back and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He admires the weak woman who has revenge the most.

……………………

Ruan Seventeen arrived at the Criminal Department the next day, and the little official had already brought over all the files that Jin Shouli had handled in the past two years.

Before lunch, Ruan Qiqi had already finished reading the files handled by Jin Shouli, pointed to the dozen or so files he picked out and told Dongshan to hug them, and then instructed the officials to send the rest of the files back, stood up, and took Dongshan to Zhou Shangshu's small courtyard.

Zhou Shangshu looked at Ruan Qiqi, who came in with the curtain, and motioned for him to sit, while saying with a gentle smile: "How's the investigation?" Got eyebrows? ”

"One thing, however, behind this eyebrow, I'm afraid that there are more eyebrows." Ruan Qiqi unceremoniously sat down in the armchair in front of Zhou Shangshu's case, and motioned for Dongshan to put the file on Zhou Shangshu's case. "This is what I picked out from the dossier that Jin Shouli has handled in the past two years, and these should be a bit problematic."

"That's a lot." Zhou Shangshu stretched out his hand and lifted the file, flipped through it slightly, and frowned, "You really suspect that it's him?" ”

"Go to the door and watch." Ruan Qiqi didn't answer Zhou Shangshu's words, and ordered Dongshan first.

Dongshan responded, Ruan Qiqi stood up, poured himself a cup of tea, sat down again, and then looked at Zhou Shangshu and said: "This Jin Shouli is just a bait, luring us to go to the road arranged by others." I walked around. ”

Zhou Shangshu's eyebrows raised.

"These dozen or so cases, the arrangement is excellent, from small to large, the earliest one, is a case of beating to death, the bitter master is a poor family of poor talents, only the mother and son, after the death of the bitter master, it is this mother who does not forgive, crying everywhere with the state, sentenced to the autumn queen beheading, to Jin Shouli's hands, the mother of the bitter master, just died, this case, there is no one on the bitter master's side, there is room to overturn the case, he rejected the retrial on the grounds that the case is unclear, after the retrial...... It's not close to the capital, and if you want to find out and report it back, I'm afraid that it will take a while, but I think it must be that the previous case was wrong, and the murderer must have been put home a long time ago. ”

Ruan Qiqi pushed the top file to Zhou Shangshu.

"From this beginning, the follower, step by step, is becoming more and more difficult, and to this last one, it is Wu San's escape from prison. With such a step deeper, a whole two years of experience, this Jin Shouli must be very sophisticated, how could he hear that Shang Shu handed over the escape case to me, and his face was so frightened that he couldn't hide it? This is not like a veteran who has been trained for two years and has done so many big cases. ”

Zhou Shangshu nodded again and again, he also thought of this, this Jin Shouli, I am afraid that he is the outermost executor......

Thinking of this, Zhou Shangshu had a headache, he really wanted to find out that this case was a gang, there was such a gang in the Criminal Department, and he would be able to do it in the end, so that he could be in Jingzhishi, and he was the emperor's saint and benevolence.

"Also, Jin Shouli's family can be regarded as a family with four walls, his small courtyard is rented, the rent is paid year after year, his wife has a vegetable, a daughter and a son, the daughter is married to a small official of the military department, the dowry is very average, the son is now attached to the Zhangjia private school, and there are many people in that private school, because the tuition is very cheap.

His hometown is in Jinjia Village, thirty or forty miles away from the capital, and I have already asked people to see it, and there is a land of two or three hundred acres at home, but that land is from Jin Shouli's father, and it belongs to their Jin family. The land is now taken care of by Jin Shouli's younger brother, saying that he will send rice beans and the like to Jin Shouli in the capital every year. ”

"And what about the money he got? Where did it go? Zhou Shangshu was stunned.

"Yesterday, before and after the people were settled, there was a very pretty woman who sneaked to the door of Jin Shouli's small courtyard, secretly kowtowed a few times, and ran away. Of course, I didn't let her run, and I embellished it. ”

Zhou Shangshu raised his hand and pressed it on his forehead, and he had to admire Ruan Seventeen's exquisite thoughts.

"It's an outer room, I just gave birth to a little son, I'm very cute, I can't tell if it's like Jin Shouli, Jin Shouli is too thin, and the child is too fat."

Ruan Seventeen's words made Zhou Shangshu feel a little crying and laughing.

"This woman said that she was from Nan'an City, followed the Ruan family's boat to the capital to deliver things, and entered the capital." Ruan Qiqi's next words stunned Zhou Shangshu.

"My family did send me something to the capital every once in a while, just right, she said that the trip, the steward who came with the boat happened to be in my house, I asked, there is indeed such a woman, it is a Zhao shopkeeper in Nan'an City who often sends pearls to our old house or something, this Zhao shopkeeper, although it should have been no shadow for a long time, but I still sent a letter back to my hometown, let people check, check this is not for this case, Nan'an City is too far, and wait for the bottom of the Zhao shopkeeper to check back, this case must have been cleared up, check this, It's because someone bullied our Ruan family in Nan'an City, and we have to teach a good lesson. It's a private matter. ”

Zhou Shangshu's brows tightened when he heard this, starting from Nan'an City two years ago, this meticulous patience made people afraid.

"I'll find out this first. There are two things, first, a fool like Jin Shouli, one person can't do these dozen or so cases, there must be people in the ministry, this person, or this group of people, I'm afraid they are all real veterans, among them, there must be people who are not low, the prison is under my control, Shangshu also knows, can get past me, and dispatch the prison at will, this ......" Ruan Qiqi laughed dryly, "This matter, for the time being, Shangshu knows that I know the best, don't startle the snake." ”

Zhou Shangshu nodded, he thought so too.

"Second, that pretty little outer room has a bit of an eye, but a few words of intimidation from Beihai can pour beans into the bamboo tube that scares her, and the truth is all told, there must be someone behind her to command. The one in the ministry, and this small outer room, I'm afraid that there is one hand behind my back. ”

Ruan Qiqi's words paused, and he laughed dryly, "Also, it can't be counted as the third, just say a casual word to Shangshu." This matter is pointed directly at my head, all over the capital, there are not many people who dare to do such a thing against me like this, and even fewer who can commit it, who is the black hand behind this, Shang Shu has a number in his heart. ”

After Ruan Qiqi finished speaking, he stood up, looked at Zhou Shangshu, whose face was blue, and smiled, "Shangshu has treated me well over the years, and I don't like to say those meaty words that feel this and that, but I just know it in my heart." So, be sure to come over and say something to the monk's book. In this matter, Shangshu can do what he should do, Seventeen will never mind, Shangshu has taken care of it for many years, which can be regarded as a part of Seventeen's mind. ”

After Ruan Qiqi finished speaking, he arched his hand and turned around and walked out of the house.

Zhou Shangshu sat upright behind the long case, his brows furrowed.

Ruan Qiqi came out of Zhou Shangshu's courtyard, walked straight out of the Criminal Department, stood at the gate of the Criminal Department, squinted at the sun, sneezed, sighed a few times, got on the horse, and went straight to the Qin Wangfu to find Guo Sheng.

Ruan 17 made it clear that Jin Shouli in the Criminal Department had not missed anything about it, and unswervingly rejected Guo Sheng's invitation, and immediately surrendered his hand.

That one, he will never see her unless he has to.

Guo Sheng sent Ruan Seventeen away and went straight into the warm pavilion next to the courtyard of the study.

Li Xia heard Guo Sheng say about Jin Shouli, and snorted lowly, "Wu Youguang, and then to this Jin Shouli, he plans very well, if Potai Mountain hits with one blow, Wu Youguang's line will turn to the Su family, Jin Shouli here, it can be used to clear the rest of the prince's manpower, or where to turn in the middle, one blow misses, it can also be used to confuse right and wrong, blame people." ”

After a pause, the corners of Li Xia's mouth tugged down, looked at Guo Sheng and asked, "Last year's performance appraisal, Luo Yuanhang was another outstanding person?" ”

"Yes, this is the second time he has been outstanding in this term, if there is no accident, he can rise one more next year, and he will be a big member."

"Yang Chengzhi's case, how is it now?" Li Xia then asked.

"Yang Chengzhi's case is still the original thing, however, this kind of thing, Luo Yuanhang is not the first time to do it, by the time Yang Chengzhi, he has actually done it very skillfully, the first few cases, are all up and down embarrassed, there are only two, one is that the magistrate at that time died of illness three years ago, and the other is that the magistrate at that time died of illness, these two can be used together, they are ready, Changguijing's hand, the princess can rest assured."

Guo Sheng replied in great detail, when Mrs. Yang's case was over, the princess instructed him to continue to secretly investigate Yang Chengzhi's case and that Luo Yuanhang, and now it is really used.

"Throw out the business dealings of the Luo family and the Jiang family together, it's not interesting to have a Luo Yuanhang alone." Li Xia then commanded.

Guo Sheng's eyebrows raised slightly, and he responded simply.

And the Luo family, to be exact, doing business with Luo Yuanhang is Jiang Yanshi's sister-in-law Changjiang Yanjin, Jiang Yanjin has not returned to Mingzhou since the Jiangyin army Feng Fuhai case entered Beijing, and has been in the capital, most of the time, in the Zhuangzi outside the city.

"Also, Wu Youguang's case, find a way to stir it up, since this line is aimed at the Su family, let's help him burn it more prosperously, and you can't all go according to his arrangement." Li Xia then commanded.

"Yes." Guo Sheng happily agreed, he is the best at stirring up this.
