Chapter 356: Plum Blossom Cake (4)

The two hurriedly sorted out some clues and left the yamen of Dali Temple. Walking on the road, he was still talking about eucalyptus, and he waited until he arrived at the Jingyun Hou Mansion, and when he saw the closed gate of the Hou Mansion, he remembered that he had forgotten to talk to Zhao You in advance.

"It's broad daylight now, but the door of the Hou Mansion is closed...... Liu Yuan looked at the Guogong Mansion opposite, which was also closed, and said strangely, "The people from the two mansions are not at home?" ”

Bai Zhu looked at the carriages coming and going on the street, frowned and thought for a while: "At the end of the year, many yamen have paid their unused annual leave in advance. ”

Liu Yuan opened his mouth and was about to speak, when there was a faint voice from the side door, the two glanced at each other, and hurriedly turned to the side door.

But I saw that the side door opened, and the steward of the Hou Mansion was talking to the mother and son, looking at the two of them dressed very plainly, carrying a package on their backs, as if they were newly recruited servants and servants.

The two walked closer and listened to the steward talking to the mother and son: "Ping'an will enter the courtyard of our second son, and sister-in-law Xiang will go to the outer courtyard, is it feasible?" ”

The mother and son nodded again and again, thanking them, listening to the accent, they seemed to be from the nearby townships and counties of Chang'an, and the mother and son looked like croppers, but they seemed to be able to work.

This is a family affair of the Hou Mansion, and it has nothing to do with them. But just after listening to the arrangement of the steward, this newly recruited little guy in the mansion was actually arranged in Lin Shaoqing's courtyard, and the two were a little surprised.

Lin Shaoqing's temperament is different from that of ordinary children of the old Gaomen clan, there are no more than two small servants around him, and he waits outside the hospital all the year round, and he is not admitted to the hospital easily. Since entering the yamen of Dali Temple, this is even more so. Lin Shaoqing himself once said that he didn't need to make a face, for fear of any accidents.

It's always better to prevent problems before they happen than to fix them after they happen.

Now listening to the arrangement of the steward of the Hou Mansion, Liu Yuan couldn't help but call him, the steward knew the two of them, and when he saw the two of them coming, he leaned over to salute.

Without waiting for him to speak, Liu Yuan asked: "Have you informed us Lin Shaoqing of arranging someone in Lin Shaoqing's courtyard?" ”

When the steward heard this, he hurriedly said, "It was arranged by the second son." After a pause, he said, "The second son is an assertive person, if not, how dare I go past him and arrange these things indiscriminately?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu were even more surprised, and looked at the newcomer called "Ping'an" on the side again: the raw black and thin one, seeing the two of them looking at him, he hurriedly grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, the smile was clean and honest, but the person was not wooden, learning to be in charge, hurriedly giving gifts, and shouting "I've seen adults".

The two nodded at him, although they were puzzled, they didn't ask more about this matter, and instead explained their intentions to the steward: "The two of us have something to look for Lin Shaoqing, look at the door of the Hou Mansion is closed, Lin Shaoqing can be in the mansion?" ”

Hearing this, the steward hurriedly smiled and said, "Today, both governments went to the temple outside the city to offer incense, and the second son was unwell, so he didn't go out of the city together." Without waiting for the two to speak, he summoned someone to bring the safe mother and son down, and then led the way for the two of them.

The two who didn't wait to ask "how unwell Shangfeng is" could only swallow the words back into their stomachs for the time being, and followed the steward to see Lin Fei.

The steward brought the two of them and retreated, and Lin Fei, who was sitting there looking at some books, looked up at the two of them.

Liu Yuan looked at Lin Fei, who was as pale as usual and was playing with a silver ingot in his hand, and couldn't help but ask, "Lin Shaoqing, the steward said that you are not feeling well......

Without waiting for Liu Yuan to finish speaking, Lin Fei interrupted Liu Yuan's words and said: "In recent days, all the temples and Taoist temples outside the city have become Yuelao temples, and the handkerchiefs that my mother has made have brought her daughters, nieces, nieces and others of the right age to go to incense. ”

Liu Yuan looked at Lin Fei with an indifferent expression, and said in his heart that this excitement was made up for you, but after thinking about it, Shangfeng said it so clearly, how could he not know the true intention of this incense, so he didn't speak.

sighed with emotion, fortunately, I had a childhood sweetheart, and I decided on a family affair early. Otherwise, like Lin Shaoqing, the family has been urging for the first three days, and the family is well-intentioned, but they don't want to wronged themselves for the rest of their lives, and they are looking for someone to spend the rest of their lives with, and it is also a headache to be caught in the middle.

I'm not here to take care of the private affairs of the peak, but for the sake of eucalyptus.

The two of them settled down, sat down and took the tea handed by Shangfeng, drank it in one gulp, moistened their throats, and then told them what they had gained in the past few days of running and sorting out the clues, and the eucalyptus was strange, as if someone had arranged it in it.

Lin Fei listened calmly, even when he heard the two of them mention that it was as if there was an invisible hand secretly manipulating in it, he did not frown.

After the two of them had finished talking, he spoke, saying, "The eucalyptus is messed up like this because several eucalyptus are intertwined and gathered in this eucalyptus at the same time." ”

What's this...... They also guessed that Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu listened, and did not ask Lin Fei, but listened to Lin Fei continue.

"Although Sun and Lu generally have a large amount of money from unknown sources as Steward Mao, they are not a 'Steward Mao', at most they are only two 'Feng Tong'." Lin Fei's voice was calm, but unquestionable, as if he was completely clear about the eucalyptus involved in these two people.

The stone-cutting tools dug up from the Qian family's flower garden have been brought back to Dali Temple, and they have been compared with Feng Tong's corpse face-to-face, which should be consistent.

In this way, Liu Sanqing's provision of corpse dismemberment equipment should be confirmed, coupled with Qian Chengyi's escape with Zhang Wulin, and Feng Tong's "running away from home" in the days when Feng Tong had an accident, it is very likely that Qian Chengyi was the one who killed Feng Tong, and Zhang Wulin, who provided the equipment, and Zhang Wulin, who ran away with Liu Sanqing, should be the one who instructed Qian Chengyi to kill people.

"Feng Tong's death, Sun and Lu were not directly involved, but they were aware of it." Lin Fei said, handed over the book in his hand, and said, "Look at this." ”

From the moment of the moment, Lin Shaoqing was a little curious about the book that Lin Shaoqing was reading was pushed over like this, looking at the open book on the table, the two were stunned, and said, "This is ......"

"A booklet borrowed by the Qin Heavenly Prison to record celestial phenomena." Lin Fei said, pointing to one of the records and tapping lightly, "More than twenty years ago, there was a vision of the blood moon. ”

Folk rumors say that the blood moon is appearing and the qi is exhausted, like falling into purgatory.

Such visions, which are regarded as ominous by the people, are naturally not allowed to be spread by the people. During the reign of the first emperor, the practice of this vision was not allowed to be spoken, but all books that recorded this image were regarded as forbidden books and destroyed.

Since the incident of the blood moon, the first emperor, who was originally obsessed with the affairs of gods and Buddhas, was even more obsessed with this way, and he was out of control. Probably still with the heart of asking for immortals, although folk rumors are not allowed, Qin Tianjian still left a record, which obviously made the first emperor take care of it.

Lin Fei pointed out that this record, of course, is not to discuss the matter of this vision, and Dali Temple can not care whether the vision is not a vision. He pointed to the vision and said to the two, "Do you remember the inkstone that Zhang Wulin took away?" ”

Red Moon Cheng Mud Inkstone!

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu felt a sigh in their hearts, and immediately reacted: Could it be that the inkstone refers to the matter of the blood moon?

Thinking like this, he hurriedly looked down at the record book of Qin Tianjian: he wanted to see when the blood moon occurred, but he was stunned to find that the record book did not indicate the specific year, only the day, which year was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Qin Heavenly Prison has been established for a long time, and it is customary to mark the year, and this booklet has been marked before and after, but in the ten years between 20 and 30 years ago, the record in this booklet did not record the year.

Could it be an omission? It's the omission that has the ghost, and it is the first emperor's instruction.

Lin Fei put the silver ingot in his hand upside down in front of the two of them: "Although there are no rumors, there is no record." But this kind of vision hanging high in the sky is visible to everyone, and I am deeply impressed when I think about it, and I know that it is the fourth year of Chengping. ”

The bottom of the upside-down silver ingot is engraved with the mark of the finished product for four years, which is obviously an official silver of the year, and I don't know where Lin Shaoqing found it.

Of course, although an official silver from more than 20 years ago is rare, it is not impossible to get it.

The two looked at each other, then withdrew their gazes, and asked Lin Fei again: "What did Lin Shaoqing, Zhang Wulin and others do in the fourth year of Chengping?" ”

"After you go back to Dali Temple, go to the treasury to find the eucalyptus of Chengping for four years, I remember that there was a robbery in Chengping for four years." Lin Fei closed his eyes and recalled, "It happened on the official road, the rich businessman's family and the servants who followed were all killed, and when the government arrived, only one of the coachmen who was driving the car had one breath left, and he swallowed his breath after saying a word of testimony. ”

"According to what the coachman said before he died, there were five robbers, because they were just ordinary robbers at first, they were first taken over by Jingzhao Mansion, and after some investigation, they learned from the passers-by who passed through the official road that day that after these five people left, they directly pretended to be rich businessmen and left directly with the belongings of those wealthy merchants." Lin Fei said, "The behavior of those five people must be bold, and they have also encountered officers and soldiers patrolling on the official road. Because these cars were really a bit eye-catching, the officers and men took a look at them. The men claimed to be five sworn brothers of the opposite sex, who had earned some money by doing business outside the home, and hurried back to their hometowns. Because a few people have disguised, they can't find anyone. However, during the interrogation, from the titles of those people's 'eldest brother and second brother', it can be known that there is a surname Su, a surname Lu, and a surname Liu ......"

Hearing this, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu suddenly had a thrill: "Is it difficult to ......"

Lin Fei said "um", took out a few letters pressed under the booklet borrowed by Qin Tianjian, and said: "This is the correspondence exchanged between Liu Sanqing and Su Fuhai and Lu Yuanlin, the handwriting is verifiable, and it cannot be faked. ”

"So, these are the people who robbed and killed the rich businessmen back then?" Bai Zhu thought for a while, nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's also right according to the age of several people: Su Fuhai is the biggest, Lu Yuanlin is second, followed by Liu Sanqing, and then next...... It was Hu Siming and Zhang Wulin. Qian Chengyi is just a thug, he is younger than Zhang Wulin, right. ”

So...... It seems to make sense.

Can......

"Lin Shaoqing, where did this letter come from?" Liu Yuan looked at this crucial letter in puzzlement, and the feeling of being arranged in advance swept over again: the murderer, the suspect, and the evidence themselves were sent to the door like this.
