Su Ping didn't seem to see Liu Boyong's ugly face, and continued: "I heard that Shuyong and his second brother-in-law were classmates this week, and you also participated in the same imperial examination. ”

Liu Boyong sorted out his expression, and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "So what?" ”

"Does the second brother-in-law know what happened to Shuyong this week?" Su Ping asked again.

"The night before the last day of the scientific examination, he could not bear the pressure of the examination and hanged himself." Liu Boyong replied coldly.

"Oh?" Su Ping's thin eyebrows raised: "How did I hear that he pretended to hang himself after being strangled to death?" ”

"Let's go!"

As soon as Su Ping's words were finished, Liu Boyong was still fine, and the spoon that Su Wan'er was holding in her hand fell on the table.

"I, my hand slipped." Su Wan'er looked at the eyes of the others and explained a little nervously.

Liu Boyong glared at her, and recruited someone to get a spoon for Su Wan'er again.

"Take it for me this time, and let me see you fall again, don't blame me for being unkind to you." Liu Boyong warned Su Wan'er.

Su Wan'er's emaciated body shrank, hurriedly took the spoon, and nodded in response.

Liu Boyong raised his head at this time, and asked Su Ping in a gloomy tone: "Who did you listen to about Zhou Shuyong?" ”

"Listen to what other people say." Su Ping does not change color.

"The man also said that Zhou Shuyong originally had a great future, but he was strangled to death by his classmates who went to Beijing to take the exam together, and he died unjustly."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Boyong stood up from the chair and yelled at Su Ping: "Zhou Shuyong hanged himself, no one pinched him at all, no one!" ”

The rest of the Su family was taken aback by Liu Boyong's uncontrollable appearance, and they all looked at him with strange eyes.

Liu Boyong has been the son-in-law of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion for so many years, and it is the first time they have seen him lose his temper like this.

Yong'an Hou didn't want to see this second son-in-law who regarded himself as high, and immediately said unhappily: "Boyong, your third sister is just saying a few gossips I heard from others, why are you so excited?" ”

Liu Boyong also calmed down at this time, knowing that his behavior was a little strange, so he threw down his sleeves and sat down again.

"Father-in-law, there have been a lot of things in the Hanlin Academy recently, and the son-in-law is upset and has lost his manners for a while, please forgive me." Liu Boyong apologized to Yong'an Hou in a stiff voice.

Yong'an Hou only replied coldly.

Later, other people at the dinner table wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Yong'an Hou's sentence "Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking".

Finally, the feast ended in a silent and eccentric atmosphere.

When he walked out of the main hall, Su Rui caught up with Su Ping and asked curiously, "Sister, do you know Zhou Shuyong?" ”

Su Ping shook his head: "I don't know." ”

She doesn't know Zhou Shuyong's people, she only knows Zhou Shuyong's soul!

"Huh?" Su Rui looked puzzled and said, "Then what are you doing in front of Zhou Shuyong in front of Liu Boyong?" ”

A thought flashed through Su Ping's mind, and then he beckoned to Su Rui and said, "Second brother, come here, I'll whisper something to you." ”

"What whispers?" When Su Rui spoke, the person had already come to Su Ping.

Su Ping said softly: "Second brother, don't you think Liu Boyong's attitude just now is very strange? ”

"If his classmate really hanged himself, then why did he get so emotional that he lost control when he heard me say that Zhou Shuyong was killed?"

When Su Rui heard Su Ping's words, he couldn't help but nod and said, "When you say that, I also think there is something strange here." ”

Su Ping saw that Su Rui was suspicious, and continued to flicker: "Second brother, Liu Boyong didn't take your sister and me seriously at the dinner table before. ”

"Otherwise, if you go and investigate the matter of Liu Boyong and Zhou Shuyong, you can really dig out some old things, and when the time comes, we can also ridicule him fiercely."

Really!

As soon as Su Ping's words came out, Su Rui's eyes lit up.

"Sister, you have a good idea." Suri clapped his hands.

"Among our father's two sons-in-law, the one I hate the most is Liu Boyong!"

"He looks like he has eyes on the top of his head all day long, and he doesn't even pay attention to our Hou Mansion."

Su Ping continued: "Since the second brother hates Liu Boyong so much, then you have to take the opportunity to dig out more of his secrets." ”

"If you don't know it at that time, it will not only make him embarrassed, but also make him more restrained."

"Okay!" Su Rui patted his chest and said: "Sister, this matter will be handed over to the second brother and me, Lao Tzu must kill Liu Boyong's sharpness this time." ”

Su Rui is a man who does what he says, since he wants to investigate the matter between Liu Boyong and Zhou Shuyong, he ran out of the house after talking to Su Ping.

Su Ye brought some things to the old lady, so when everyone left, she stayed in the main hall for a while and talked to the old lady.

Su Ping saw Zhou Hao, who was standing in the corridor waiting for Su Ye, thought for a while, and took the initiative to talk.

"Big brother-in-law, I want to ask you a question, is that okay?"

Zhou Hao saw Su Ping talking to him, his eyes were a little surprised, but he still nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Does your criminal department usually recruit people?" Su Ping asked.

Zhou Hao didn't expect Su Ping to ask such a question, and after being stunned for a moment, he still said to her: "Every year in March and September, the Criminal Department will recruit a group of people to enter. ”

After Zhou Hao finished speaking, he couldn't help but add a sentence at the back: "But the Criminal Department only recruits men." ”

The Criminal Department is in charge of punishment, and usually faces cases and prisoners, and the work is dirty and tiring.

Because of this, the Criminal Department recruits ten people every year, and in the end only two or three are really willing to stay.

Su Ping knew that Zhou Hao had misunderstood, but she didn't plan to explain, and asked the Criminal Department in detail about the recruitment requirements.

Zhou Hao told them one by one.

Su Ping found that the recruitment process of the Criminal Department was not much different from that of the modern civil service examination.

It is also divided into two parts: written test and interview.

It's just that the questions of the written test are written by the criminal department, and the interview part is written by the criminal department and the waiter of the criminal department, and the interviewer can answer on the spot.

But Zhou Hao added another sentence later, if the applicant helped Yamen solve the case, then the interview part can be exempted.

As soon as Su Ping heard this, his eyes instantly lit up.

Then this time Liu Boyong's case, she must let her second brother crack it!

Of course, with her as a plug-in, Suri can still easily get this little credit.

Su Ping was thinking about how to help Su Rui find evidence of Liu Boyong's murder when suddenly, a ghost fire flickered in the air not far away.

Su Ping's eyes narrowed, how could there be such a thing as ghost fire in this Hou Mansion!

Unless...... Someone in the house died!!

As soon as Su Ping thought of this, he immediately said goodbye to Zhou Hao, and then went to chase the ghost fire.
