Chapter 16: Investigation of the Facts

In the backyard of the yamen, in the wing room, Bai Qiuxue was sitting on the bed to heal his injuries, while Xu Jianping was lying on the outside of the bed to analyze the entire case.

"How about this case, you still have five days." Bai Qiuxue asked flatly.

Any homicide case, nothing more than revenge or profit, in this case, the five people who died did not have a common enemy, the search for revenge is obviously excluded, if it is said that it is for profit to kill, then Uncle He Ping and Li Ninglang's family are surrounded by four walls, kill them to do nothing, according to Yan Shuhuan's description, the people detained in the dungeon leading to the backyard of the inn are all the people who live in his store, Xu Jianping slowly realized in his heart, "It's okay, I know the reason, tomorrow I will go to verify it, and the case will be solved in a few days." ”

"It's so good, I don't want to fight with that bull's nose again." After Bai Qiuxue finished the thirty-six weeks of pranayama, her body was already soaked, so she also learned from Xu Jianping's daytime, and walked to the backyard to prepare to clean, "Five days later, someone will come to look for you, no matter whether the case is solved or not, but I will do my best to save your life." ”

"Sleep!"

Outside the window, the midsummer sky is like a gluttonous mouth, swallowing up all the beautiful things in the world, only the farther deep sky, the starlight is shining, giving people hope.

"Hmm...... Hmm" Yan Wu stretched out his hands with difficulty, stretched his waist, opened his hazy eyes, and his side was empty.

Looking out the window, the sky was bright, Bai Qiuxue had quietly gone, maybe he didn't want to expose himself too much.

Page 3 of the case: He Mingyue, now 40 years old, is the shopkeeper of Hengfu Commercial Bank, and is currently the largest commercial bank in Jingzhou City. It has industries such as rice shops, cloth shops, timber shops, wine shops, etc., and has a huge fleet of carriages and horses, and even the official salt and iron transportation will be transported to the carriages and horses of Hengfu Commercial Bank. Before he died, he ate at home, and the cause of death was the same as that of the previous deceased, which was also spontaneous combustion. His death shocked the entire Jingzhou, and they all said that they were rich and unkind, but this He Mingyue was an exception, He Mingyue was just a businessman before, until he suddenly started to make a fortune ten years ago and founded Hengfu Commercial Bank. Jingzhou is flooded all year round, and He Mingyue will distribute rice porridge in Hengfu Commercial Bank at this time, providing a large number of coarse linen clothes, which is famous in Jingzhou City. It was also after this case that the theory of ghosts and gods killing people began to spread throughout the city, and even spread to Kyoto with the help of the prison priest.

Jingzhou City Xihe Mansion, the home of the deceased He Mingyue.

"Mrs. He, please think carefully about who Master He saw before he was killed." Xu Jianping was sitting in the hall of Hefu at the moment, holding a blue and white porcelain cup and drinking tea leisurely.

"Lord Xu, the master goes out early and returns late every day, who he has seen, and the concubine really doesn't know." Mrs. He propped up the table with one hand and stroked the hem of her long skirt with the other.

Xu Jianping saw Mrs. He for the first time, originally thought that Mrs. He should also be an aunt over forty years old, but he didn't want Mrs. He to be very young, about thirty Xu, although not as young and beautiful as she was back then, but full of mature charm that girls do not have, who can say that this is not a kind of beauty?

"Did anything special happen then?" Xu Jianping also came today to know the details of his death and see what clues he could find.

"I really don't know the body of this concubine, but after you say so, the old man hasn't drunk alcohol for a long time, and when he came back that day, he drank a lot, and when he entered the house, he knocked over one of his favorite vases." After Xu Jianping said this, Mrs. He really thought of a relatively ordinary but unusual thing.

"Drinking? Mr. He never drinks alcohol on weekdays? Xu Jianping felt very surprised, because as the shopkeeper of Hengfu Commercial Bank, he should inevitably entertain guests on weekdays, how could he not drink?

"No, the lord is also good at wine on weekdays, it's not that the concubine wants to leave a queen for the He family, so the lord hasn't served a wine glass since he opened it" Mrs. He said that at this time, she was still a little embarrassed, it turned out that Mrs. He was not the original match, but He Mingyue remarried after he made a fortune. Mrs. He was originally a Qing Pavilion in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, He Mingyue loves to drink, since ancient times, wine must have a beautiful woman, if the two of them met, the two of them hooked up together, and when Hengfu Commercial Bank became bigger and bigger, He Mingyue ransomed Mrs. He.

Xu Jianping didn't know about it, but after understanding the ins and outs, he was full of interest in He Mingyue. You must know that since ancient times, there has never been a fireworks woman as a wife, and most of the Qinglou women are not allowed to die well, even if they really have the intention of concubines, they are all accepted as concubines. The law of the former Qin Dynasty clearly stipulates that those who marry a woman from a Qinglou must wear a green headscarf when they go out.

"Does that lady know, who is Master He drinking with, and where is it?"

"This concubine didn't know, but the lord of the drinking place didn't say it, and the concubine also knew, so it must be in that Xiaoxiang Pavilion" Mrs. He replied with a determined face.

"Xiaoxiang Pavilion! Thank you, Madame, for your hospitality today," Xu Jianping saw that he got the answer he wanted, and got up to leave.

Mrs. He hurriedly got up and grabbed Xu Jianping: "Lord Xu, why are you in such a hurry to leave, it's time to eat right away, and it's not too late to leave after eating." After speaking, he deliberately pulled his skirt a little apart, revealing the snow-white and plump thighs.

Xu Jianping hesitated, and when Mrs. He saw this, she leaned over, pressed Xu Jianping on the chair, leaned over, and whispered in Xu Jianping's ear:

"Lord Xu, it is also hard to be on an errand in the Yamen, it is better to stay in the He Mansion, and the concubine will definitely ......"

It's just that the huge chest is squeezed on Xu Jianping's chest, and he is panicked. After finishing speaking, he blew on the dampness, which made Xu Jianping's ears itch.

"I'll rely on" Xu Jian calmed down, and quickly pushed Mrs. He away: "Mrs. He, I can't help it, I can't help it" After speaking, he quickly got up and distanced himself from Mrs. He.

"Could it be that Gongzi doesn't look down on concubines, too, with Gongzi Xu's talent, not everyone in Xiaoxiang Pavilion is up to you" Mrs. He pretended to be weak.

"Non-yes, non-yes, meet with Concubine Xiaoxiang Pingshui below, Mrs. Don't insult people's reputation, Master He's bones are not cold, and please ask Mrs. to respect herself." Xu Jianping had forgotten about the trip to Xiaoxiang Pavilion the day before yesterday, and when Mrs. He mentioned it today, he remembered the appearance of the alluring city.

Mrs. He was a little surprised, she never thought that there would be a cat that didn't eat fish.

"Lord Xu, it's rude, the concubine is just like that, it's really helpless, He Mingyue, the old fox, has a good relationship in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, we haven't been in bed for a long time, and now the lord died suddenly, the concubine didn't leave a queen for his He family, and now the people of their He family forced the concubine to move away from here, and today I saw Lord Xu's visit, so I thought of this strategy, but I didn't want to disturb Lord Xu's eyes, but it was abrupt." Mrs. He sat down again and tidied up her clothes, but the posture of tidying up was too deliberate, and explained to Xu Jianping.

"Of course, the concubine body is also a true admiration for the talent of the son."

Xu Jianping was a little stunned after hearing this, he never thought that he would really encounter a rumor of a telephone bar, and he would spend a lot of money to ask for a child?

"Thank you Mrs. He for your love, I really can't bear it."

That's it, that's it, it's goodbye

Xu Jianping arched his hand and said goodbye.

Sure enough, it was ten years ago, and it was Xiaoxiang Pavilion again, Uncle He Ping went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion before he died, He Mingyue also went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion before he died, Uncle He Ping lost his family property ten years ago, and He Mingyue made a fortune ten years ago.

A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Jianping's mouth.
