Yao Qi pursed his lips, wrapped the two silk threads, and thought, "My lord, it's better to show these two silk threads to Lord Mu." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly understood what Yao Qi meant.

Mu Rongtong is the most wealthy among the officials in the Gongyuan today, Zhong Ming Dingshi's family, his knowledge and eyesight are extraordinary, ask him, maybe he will gain something.

He looked at his head, glanced at the hideous-looking corpse, and asked Meng Suiji: "Is there still a vacant warehouse on the first floor of Mingyuan Building?" ”

Meng Sui nodded and said, "There are two more." ”

Han Changdui thought about it, he was not good at autopsies, he was just able to roughly distinguish some scars, and as for some more detailed traces, he couldn't see them, let alone autopsies.

Besides, even if he wanted to examine it carefully, he didn't have the tools he could take advantage of.

His eyes were a little pity, and he said in a deep voice: "Send the body over first, and then seal this latrine, guard it by the forbidden army, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and then let the vendor who delivers meat and vegetables on the other side of the stove bring in some ice." ”

Meng Sui should claim to be.

He Zhenfu heard the movement, walked up to Han Changdui and whispered, "My lord, I have checked it clearly." ”

Han Changdui nodded, but made a gesture, only watching Meng Sui with the soldiers, sending the body into the first floor of Mingyuan Building, and then turned to He Zhenfu and said: "After the Gongyuan opens tomorrow, you take an internal guard back to the Internal Security Division and replace Sun Ying." ”

He Zhenfu was stunned for a moment: "My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." ”

Han Changdui shook his head: "It's okay, it's urgent." ”

He Zhenfu nodded, followed Han Changdui to Mingyuan Tower, walked through the alleyway, and then whispered back to what Fang had just asked: "My lord, the person who found the body was a scholar with a water name, and at the second moment of the first month, he went to the toilet and found the body. ”

Han Changdui frowned: "That's not right, the body is in the deepest part of the latrine, he went to the toilet, if it was empty at that time, why should he go far away." ”

He Zhenfu also noticed this abnormality, and said with a slightly gloomy face: "The humble position also felt that there was something abnormal in this matter, but he didn't alarm him, only asked a few words and let him go back, and arranged for soldiers to keep an eye on him in the dark." ”

Han Changwan nodded appreciatively: "The identity of the deceased can be found out." ”

He Zhenfu nodded and said: "I found out, the deceased's name is Li Cheng, twenty-seven years old, from Jingyang County, the provincial test has failed twice, and has been living in Zhaoguofang to take the exam. ”

Han Changdu's eyebrows furrowed: "? ”

He Zhenfu nodded: "Yes, the luck is a little worse." ”

Han Changwei nodded: "Send the news out tomorrow and let Cheng Zongqi take someone to check Li Cheng's residence in Zhaoguofang and whether he has any family." After a pause, he continued: "Ask the soldiers, who has entered this latrine tonight, the deceased and the man who found the body, what is abnormal in the past two days, and when did the deceased enter the latrine." ”

He Zhenfu said yes.

Walking to the front of Mingyuan Building, Han Changdui met Mu Rongxi, who came out in a hurry.

Mu Rongyan had already left the room, but he happened to meet Meng Suijie with the soldiers and sent the corpse to the warehouse, so he took a few more looks.

This is a terrible sight, he is in front of the man's dead eyes.

His scalp suddenly tingled, and he only felt a gust of wind blowing, and his whole body was shaking coldly.

At this moment, he suddenly had an epiphany, what official position, what wealth and glory, are all floating clouds.

He watched the corpse go away in amazement, and for the first time felt that time was long, and it took a long time to walk out of Mingyuan Tower in a trance.

Mu Rongshu saw Han Changdui and his party coming towards him, and hurriedly greeted him, lowered his voice and asked, "Lord Han, what's wrong." ”

Han Changdui whispered as he walked towards Mingyuan Tower: "There is a murder, can the elder get up?" ”

Mu Rongyan's expression was solemn: "Elder Ge has already gotten up, Lord Han, please." ”

Han Changdui looked at himself covered in filth and said, "Master Mu, let the officials go and freshen up." ”

A gust of night wind blew, and Mu Rongxuan noticed the faint smell brought out by the wind, and in an instant, he saw Han Changdu's embarrassed appearance, and he was extremely apologetic: "It's the official's negligence, Lord Han went to bathe first, and the official went to the pavilion boss first." ”

Meng Sui had already arranged everything, and after Han Changwan bathed and changed clothes, he wiped his long hair until it was no longer dripping, then pulled a damp bun, took the two pieces of silk thread, and went to the first floor of Mingyuan Building.

The room was brightly lit, the glass windows were ajar, the night breeze crept in, and huge shadows swayed on the white walls.

Just after the hour, the gentle wind in the spring night became a little fierce, and the air was damp, as if there was a rain ready to start.

Jiang Shen stood by the window, his hair was scattered, wrapped in a long shirt, and his face was a little dark, as if he had aged a lot overnight.

Hearing the movement behind him, he closed the window, turned his head to look at it with a tired face, and said tiredly: "Jiuchao is coming, sit down." ”

Han Changdui saluted calmly and sat down under Jiang Shen.

Jiang Shen looked at Han Changdu, who was still in good spirits after working in the middle of the night, and sighed secretly, it's good to be young.

His body was in a trance, and he rubbed his eyebrows in distress, the most calming incense in the room couldn't calm his heart.

This is a very unstable state of mind, he has been in the office for more than 30 years, only in the first few years of officialdom, the mood has had a little waves, and then he led six ministries into the cabinet, becoming the first assistant cabinet elder above 10,000 people under one person, this heart is as calm as the ancient well.

This provincial test should be the last important errand he did before he sent office.

It's done, and his name will go down in history.

If it is messed up, he will not be able to guarantee his old age.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these thoughts of gains and losses that he will be in an unstable mood.

He stabilized his mind and asked bitterly, "Jiuchao, what happened to the house?" ”

Han Changwan also smiled bitterly, and sighed helplessly: "It's really strange to say. He hid the meaning of his gaze lightly, and made it clear what was happening in the west wing.

Jiang Shen's face was ashen, and after hearing these words, the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he shook the corners of his lips with a depressed expression: "How could it be, how could it be like this, how could it be like this." ”

Mu Rongyan sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly patted Jiang Shen's back while saying, "Ge Lao, Ge Lao, you still have to preside over the overall situation in this matter, you."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Don't be so excited, Elder Ge. ”

Jiang Shen coughed heavily a few times, waved his hand weakly, and his face had returned to his former calmness: "This pavilion is fine, Jiuchao, you continue." ”

This happened one after another, and he had already invisibly regarded Han Changdui as a reliable support, and there was a little more intimacy between his words.

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Changwan handed the wrapped two pieces of silk thread to Mu Rongyan: "There are some things that need to be identified by Lord Mu." ”

Mu Rongxi's heart palpitated, and he looked at the two indigo silk threads on the plain white paper.

He looked up puzzled: "Lord Han, what does this mean?" ”

Han Changdui said in a deep voice: "This was found by the lower officials in the place where the crime occurred, I can't confirm what kind of clothing this is, Lord Mu is well-informed, please identify one or two." ”

Mu Rong sighed without a trace, took the thin paper, leaned under the lamp, and carefully identified it.

After looking at it for a long time, he said softly: "It's satin." It is a new twill satin in the capital this year, woven with fine linen silk, and the clothes made of this material are smooth and fine, not suitable for pleats, and they are exceptionally bright. ”

Han Changdu's heart sank, this kind of clothing is really everywhere, and it is impossible to find out the person involved in the case based on this alone.

Mu Rongyan and Jiang Shen also understood this, glanced at each other, he handed over the two pieces of silk thread, and said apologetically: "I didn't help Lord Han." ”

Jiang Shen also sighed: "Most scholars like to wear this color and this kind of clothing, thick and fine, more wearable, this indigo blue is not eye-catching and dirt-resistant, only these two silk threads, at least thousands of suspicious people can be found from the tribute courtyard." ”

Han Changwan had expected this, but he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

Seeing that Han Changwan was a little frustrated, Jiang Shen patted him on the shoulder, and said in a gentle drizzle: "Jiuchao." ”

Han Changwan seemed to be even more depressed, this frustration greatly pleased Jiang Shen, making him feel that this young man was still too young and inexperienced, and he couldn't bear the slightest blow.

He suddenly felt how ridiculous his previous jealousy of this person was.

He coughed lightly, Fang Cai's exhaustion seemed to be swept away, and his words became more cordial and gentle: "Jiuchao, what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Han Changwan made a meditative look, frowned, and said, "The lower official is not very familiar with the art of autopsy, and he needs to transfer the internal guard of the Internal Guard Department to the Tribute Institute for inspection. ”

Jiang Shen was stunned for a moment, quite condescending, and nodded: "This is also a helpless thing, you just do it." ”

Han Changdui seemed to take a long breath, and his mind was a little calmer, and there was an imperceptible relief in his heart: "Thank you, Elder Ge, the lower officials investigated the scene and found that the deceased was a scholar from the Gongyuan, but the murderer was a person with kung fu. ”

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Shen's eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly: "Now there are Beiya forbidden troops and internal guards in the Gongyuan, all of whom are excellent in kung fu, and the others seem to be powerless, but no one can see through what is behind it, and all of them are suspicious." ”

Han Changdui looked sincere, and nodded again and again in agreement: "What the elder said is extremely true, but there are many people in the Tribute Courtyard, and the internal guards are good to say, but the forbidden army is extremely complicated, and it is very time-consuming to investigate. ”
