Chapter 222: Going around and around, it's someone I know again
"Yes, yes, yes."
Xu Zizhen nodded busily, and the person in front of him had already walked over and greeted Mu Xi very warmly.
"Wood girl, don't come unharmed!"
"Lord Wei, congratulations, the new official has taken office!"
Mu Xi couldn't help laughing, this world is really small, going around and around, and he knows people.
Isn't this Wei Zhen, the county magistrate of their southern county?
At that time, Mu Xi also asserted that he would be promoted soon, but he didn't expect to be promoted from a local official to a Beijing official.
Wei Zhen smiled and said: "Thank you Miss Mu Jiyan, now that I have been transferred to Kyoto, I will take up the position of Dali Temple, in charge of judging and investigating the case, and I may disturb Miss Mu a lot in the future." ”
"Anywhere, where you can help, just come to me."
Mu Xi's tone paused, and suddenly said: "Of course, if I can't get out, I can find my apprentice." ”
"Wood Girl has taken in the apprenticeship?"
Wei Zhen found Xu Zizhen sitting on one side, and Xu Zizhen immediately leaned his neck proudly.
"Yes, Master Wei, my name is Xu Zizhen."
"Xu Gongzi is good."
Wei Zhen was polite, which made Xu Zizhen excited, look, it is still good to follow the master.
Even the Jingguan was respectful to his master, and he smiled.
"Lord Wei, you're welcome, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you must have come to my master to solve the problem, right?"
After following Mu Xi for a long time, Xu Zizhen was also infected with the breath of a magic stick, and this was very natural.
"He is worthy of being the apprentice of the wooden girl."
Wei Zhen looked at Mu Xi, "Miss Mu, I'm afraid there is a case that needs your help." ”
He came to Kyoto before Mu Xi, after all, the matter of taking office could not be delayed, and he rushed over immediately after receiving the holy decree.
And also learned the news of the Mu Li Zhongju, so I have been waiting for the news of Mu Xi in Kyoto.
Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and they finally came!
So as soon as something happened, Wei Zhen couldn't wait to come to Mu Xi.
"Okay, then I'll go with you."
Mu Xi asked the porter to look at her stall, and then followed Wei Zhen to Dali Temple.
Speaking of which, Wei Zhen seems to have a relationship with Duan Ruoli from a subordinate to a superior.
On the way, Wei Zhen was familiar with Mu Xi's case, "Miss Mu, this case is more complicated.
The deceased was... It is our Dafeng official who has issued a death order today, and the murderer must be found, and a time limit has been set.
So I can only ask Miss Mu to come and see if I can speed up the case. ”
Dali Temple has solved countless strange cases, and this case is not impossible to solve, but it takes time.
"Tell me about the specifics."
Mu Xi raised his eyebrows lightly, and there was interest in his eyes,
"The deceased was Liu Zhou, a counselor of the General Administration Department, who died in the General Administration Department from Wupin, and it was found that he died of poisoning.
The point is that there is no evidence of who poisoned him, only that the poison was in the tea. ”
Wei Zhen shook his head, "What's even more bizarre is that after the curfew that night, only a few officials left a vigil.
Master Liu, the secretary of the General Administration, did not return to his house because he had not finished his official business, but who expected that his body would be found the next day, but the two people who kept vigil said that there was nothing abnormal. ”
"Who was the last person to see him?"
Mu Xi followed Wei Temple into the trial room of Dali Temple, and inside was a young man.
The boy's face was frightened, as if he was frightened, and his mouth was still muttering.
"It's not me... It's not me, it's not me. ”
"He is the little official who found Lord Liu's body."
Wei Zhen's eyes fell on the young man, "This guy is young, he is probably frightened, and he can't ask anything." ”
"It really has nothing to do with him."
Mu Xi only knew at a glance that this guy was just unlucky, but this matter had nothing to do with him, but she still added.
"He was the first to find the body, and it is not certain whether he will see any clues, but it is still worth asking."
"You're right, but we'll have to wait until he calms down."
Wei Zhen was a little depressed, the first big case in office was limited by today's time, and he couldn't finish this black gauze hat.
"It's easy."
Mu Xi's little hand was raised, and a pure heart talisman was thrown on the little official, and the frightened little official instantly recovered a lot.
Soon his eyes became clear, and he immediately knelt down, "Little... The little ones have seen the adults. ”
"This official asked you, when you found Lord Liu's body, did you find any other clues?"
Wei Zhen was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, but the little official knelt on the ground, thought carefully, and answered for a while.
"The little one didn't find any clues, and the little one was frightened at that time, so he immediately reported to the official!"
"Did you hear that?"
Wei Zhen was anxious to ask again, but unfortunately he still found nothing, Mu Xi guessed that this young man was too nervous, and he probably completely ignored the scene at that time.
I'm afraid it's hard to remember, she looked at Wei Zhen, "Lord Wei, what about an errand officer?" ”
"It's next door."
Wei Zhen took Mu Xi to the next door and explained: "The one next to him happened to be lazy, he came out of the rest room when he heard the screaming, and there were no other clues." ”
When the two of them walked in, they saw another servant huddled in the corner, who was much older than the one just now.
It is estimated that he has become an old fritter in the General Administration Department, about thirty years old, and his appearance is a little vicissitudes.
With just one glance, Mu Xi shook his head at Wei Zhen invisibly, and the man quickly knelt down.
"I've seen Lord Wei."
"When you came out of the house last night, did you notice anything unusual?"
Wei Zhen still has some ability, at least he has a straight face, and the little official raised his head slightly and replied.
"Back to the adults, the little ones... The little ones didn't see anything unusual. ”
"Have you figured it out?"
Wei Zhen reminded indifferently, "This matter is very important, if you provide strong clues, there may be a place to turn around about your laziness." ”
Laziness is a big deal, he is on duty at night, and he actually ran to the rest room, Wei Zhen can even convict him of negligence.
The little official was frightened, and there was a helplessness on his face, "Adult, small, little one saw a black shadow when he came out."
It's just that it's too far away, and I didn't look closely, but looking at it, it seems to be a woman. ”
"Women?"
Wei Zhen and Mu Xi glanced at each other, the woman entered the General Administration Department, and the others didn't know, it seems that there is another hidden story in this matter.
"Yes, it's a woman, and the other little ones really don't know!"
The little official only felt that he was unlucky, but when he was on an errand, Master Liu had an accident.
No matter what the final outcome of this matter is, he will lose his job.
"I'll see."
Mu Xi stepped forward and patted him lightly on the shoulder, seeing the scene last night through the eyes of the sky.
There was indeed a black shadow running by, far away, even if he used the eye of the sky, Tao Xi couldn't see the other party's appearance.
She could only shake her head at Wei Zhen, who was one head and two big, and even took Tao Xi to see Lord Liu's corpse.
It's a pity that nothing was found, so Lord Liu, who was killed by someone, actually willingly entered reincarnation?
didn't see the slightest soul, Wei Zhen could only ask someone to invite Lord Liu's family.
Mu Xi, on the other hand, was placed behind a screen on the side of the interrogation room, and Wei Zhen treated her very politely, in addition to tea, he also asked people to bring Kyoto's famous snacks.
