Chapter 199: The Paper Ball Explores the Mystery
readx;? Hearing that Yang Jing deduced the whole process of the case only through the ball of waste paper and the dish containing the mandarin fish in the potted plant, everyone else was shocked except for Mu Zicai!
Chen Qitai, the governor of Jiangling Mansion, was particularly surprised, because when Yang Jing was about to leave, he had already determined that Yang Jing knew the difficulty and retreated, and when Song Fengya came out for Yang Jing, he just thought that this was Song Fengya's hard mouth.

Who would have thought that Yang Jing really knew the inside story of the case, and Mu Zi from the new prefect was mixed in the crowd of the long-term followers, and suddenly appeared at this time, although Chen Qitai had not yet figured out the case, he had already guessed that this should be a game set by Mu Zi, and he played them all once!
Except for Zong Yun, who was silent on Yang Jing's side, and couldn't tell whether he already knew the inside story, everyone else was surprised and confused.
And Mu Zicai was already a little disappointed, because the layout he set up was exposed by Yang Jing, which showed that Yang Jing really lived up to his reputation, and even overshadowed him in terms of intelligence.
But when Yang Jing pointed out that the rice paper was produced in Ning Guofu's Taiping Leng Xuan, he had a new understanding of Yang Jing.
Because pen, ink, paper, and inkstone have always been things that the literary world will only appreciate, the wolf ink ink and rice paper inkstone, the so-called four treasures of the study, but Yang Jing is just a small county official from Miao Village, and he can even see the origin of the paper!
In fact, this is not because Yang Jing knows astronomy and geography, but thanks to Yang Jing's experience as a forensic doctor.
He didn't have much appreciation for antique calligraphy and painting, and he couldn't say anything good about the content of calligraphy and painting, but he once participated in a task force for the resale of cultural relics, and the calligraphy and painting materials needed to be inspected, for which he also specialized in some topics of material science.
After the case of reselling cultural relics was solved, Yang Jing rarely had the opportunity to contact this kind of thing, but he didn't expect to use it today!
Mu Zicai was aroused, so he asked Yang Jing: How do you know that I set up the bureau?
Yang Jing just spread out his palm, revealing the ball of waste paper, Mu Zicai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help laughing and said: It's the official's negligence, hahaha!
Seeing that everyone was confused, Yang Jing didn't speak, he wanted to give this opportunity to Mu Zicai, because he already knew Mu Zicai's temperament, although he was not too polite to Mu Zicai, the new prefect, in words, but he must not steal the limelight from Mu Zicai.
Mu Zicai seemed to be aware of Yang Jing's intentions, and he secretly appreciated it in his heart, and immediately explained to everyone.
This official has just taken office, and it will take some time to adapt to local affairs, especially in terms of criminal names and money and food, and there is already an accompanying master in terms of money and food, and I don't need to worry about it, but the talents in terms of criminal names are not easy to cultivate.
Mu Zicai pointed to the paper ball and said: The official originally wanted to leave a piece of paper and deliberately create the illusion that it was hijacked by bandits to extort money, but considering that no bandit dared to kidnap the prefect to extort money, and was worried that it would affect the local operation if it was too big, he casually threw away the paper
It's just that the official doesn't understand a little, Yang Tuiyi, how are you sure that this piece of paper was written by the official?
After listening to Mu Zicai's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that it was a fake case created by the prefect himself, and the purpose was to test Yang Jing's ability to solve the case!
But Chen Qitai and the others also heard the implication, this new prefect is not so simple as a temptation, the reason why he tested Yang Jing is not because he has the intention to promote Yang Jing!
It's just that no one expected that because Mu Zi had only arrived in advance, the furnishings in the study had not yet been prepared, and small details such as paper baskets were naturally not taken into account.
But everyone still doesn't understand, just as Mu Zicai asked, how did Yang Jing determine that the paper ball was written by Mu Zicai?
Yang Jing knew that he couldn't pretend to be a tune anymore, so he immediately opened the paper ball and showed a circle: Although Yang has not seen Mr. Cunzhai's words, the calligraphy on the wall is the words of the former prefect Huang Zhengmin, and Lord Mu is a delicate and thin gold body, but Huang Zhengmin is good at official calligraphy, so Yang concluded that it was written by Master Mu
Yang Jing said the name of Mr. Mu Zicai, and Mu Zicai was also secretly happy in his heart, but Yang Jing's explanation was obviously not enough to convince everyone, because the font is different, it can be concluded that it was written by Mu Zicai, this reason is too far-fetched, if Mu Zicai really let the bandits hijack it, it may also be that it was really written by the robbers.
Yang Jing had already seen it from everyone's expressions, and immediately walked to the desk, pointed to the pile of rice paper, and turned to the middle layer.
If you are a bandit and the prefect is holding hostage, will you panic? If you want to leave a blackmail note in a hurry, shouldn't you write on the top one? Why do you deliberately turn to the old rice paper at the bottom and write it again?
Yang Jing asked rhetorically, Song Fengya suddenly understood, she was about to speak, but Chen Qitai had already taken over the conversation.
It turns out that this is the case! Master Mu is used to using old paper, and he is not in a hurry to arrange the scene, so he will habitually choose old paper to write, and the bandits will only write on the top layer in a panic, and only if they want to distinguish between old paper and new paper, only Master Mu himself knows!
When Mu Zicai heard it, he remembered what Yang Jing said before, he was really betrayed by the habit of literati, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he also admired Yang Jing's meticulous mind, and he saw that he flipped it over casually, but he didn't expect to dig out such a subtle flaw!
The matter has come to this point, it is already very clear, but there is still a suspicion that has not been revealed, that is, how did Mu Zicai create the secret room?
The reason why Chen Qitai spoke first was that he wanted to brush his presence in front of Mu Zicai, so that Mu Zicai knew that he, Chen Qitai, as the official of Jiangling Mansion, was not incompetent.
Not being able to investigate Mu Zicai's layout is not ashamed, but it will make Mu Zicai very proud, and it can be regarded as currying favor with Mu Zicai in disguise, but if Yang Jing reveals part of the mystery, but he is as confused as everyone else, then it is really embarrassing!
So even if he was jealous of Yang Jing in his heart, he had to hold on and save some face.
Since he had already spoken, he didn't plan to be reserved anymore, so he took the initiative to ask Yang Jing: Then dare to ask Yang Tui, these doors and windows are locked from the inside, how did Master Mu get out of this room?
I have to say that Chen Qitai is a veteran of officialdom, and now he asked this key question for Mu Zicai, which not only increased his attention, but also allowed Mu Zicai to avoid embarrassment and ease the dispute with Yang Jing.
Yang Jing also heard Mu Zicai's intention to recruit him, but the Song Dynasty attached great importance to the background of officials, even if the court is now unbearable and the officialdom is erosive, but the triennial imperial examination still creates a large number of jinshi.
Because the Mongols continued to invade the south, the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty was shrinking more and more southward, and the official positions were limited.
Yang Jing is not a jinshi, just a Xu official, if he wants to follow the formal process and climb in the officialdom step by step, it is extremely difficult.
It was also thanks to him that he solved the fraud case and the Yan Lichun case, and had Song Ci's recommendation, which made him stand out and make the official family get the position of the secret agent of the Imperial City Division.
Therefore, although Mu Zicai has the heart to cultivate, it is impossible for him to take a normal career, if Mu Zicai really has so much energy, he will not be driven away from the official family.
However, Yang Jing can also see that his criminal investigation skills have aroused Chen Qitai's vigilance, and he is afraid that Yang Jing will snatch away his position as an official, so he behaves so strongly.
Yang Jing doesn't want to offend the entire Jiangling officialdom because of a Mu Zicai who is difficult to protect, since Chen Qitai took the initiative to show weakness and intended to ease the relationship, Yang Jing naturally will not be aggressive anymore.
So when Chen Qitai raised this question, Yang Jing didn't sell it, but pointed to the plate of mandarin fish, and explained with a smile: The answer is this plate of mandarin fish, since it is the masterpiece of Lord Mu, let Lord Mu explain it, Yang only knows one thing but does not know the other
Mu Zicai heard Yang Jing so prevaricating, and immediately waved his hand and said: Yang Tui, don't be modest, in fact, you know everything, but you are afraid of offending me, the new prefect, hahaha!
Yang Jing knew that Mu Zi was a free and uninhibited literati style, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and he was a little stunned immediately, just smiling, it was really difficult to answer, but Mu Zicai didn't care.
Mu Zicai was about to explain, but he heard a voice say lightly: It's an ice cube.
Mu Zicai took a look, but it was a young man dressed as a Taoist, and he followed Yang Jing's side, Fengshen was handsome and elegant, although he was not very old, he was already quite a Taoist immortal, and he couldn't help but ask Yang Jing.
Who is this?
Yang Jing also knew that Zong Yun was the character of Xianyun Yehe, and he didn't have much of a good impression of the people in the officialdom, so naturally he wouldn't give Mu Zicai face, let alone look at Mu Zicai's face, so he immediately introduced it with some embarrassment.
This is the true disciple of the Southern Wu Sect of the Quanzhen Dao, the head of the Zongyun Dao
It turned out to be a real person of the Quanzhen Dao! The official was disrespectful, disrespectful! Mu Zicai immediately gave Zong Yun a bow and said politely.
The status of Taoist priests in the Southern Song Dynasty is quite high, even if it is a literati like Mu Zicai, to some otherworldly Taoists, they have to pay three points of respect!
However, Zong Yun didn't think so, he just bowed his hand slightly, which was considered a return gift, and Mu Zicai not only felt contemptuous, but felt that this was the demeanor of a master!
This official has had the privilege of talking with the master of Baiyun Temple a few times, but it can be regarded as having some origins, I don't know which real person the master of Zongyun Dao is a real person?
Zong Yun heard Mu Zicai say this, frowned, and turned his face away, without looking at Mu Zicai!
Mu Zicai is also a dignified prefect, and he actually wants to eat Zong Yun's face, it is a Buddha who also has three points of fire, not to mention that the hot face is attached to the cold ass!
