"Cicada, be careful when you go out, don't bump into it, go to Qingni Temple and come back early, don't stay too long, today is your birthday."

The mother's words are always more, and when you listen to them, you will feel a little nagging, although it is a good intention, but the child will still feel a little impatient when she listens too much.

No, Wei Chansheng had just finished bathing and burning incense, and finally calmed his heart, and was about to set off to Qingne Temple to make a vow, Mrs. Wei babbled and instructed, Rao is Wei Chansheng's well-behaved temperament, and he is also a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, I know my mother, I remember everything, I will definitely come back soon, you can rest assured."

Wei Chansheng said helplessly, Master Xinben had said before that he should be calm, but his mother kept talking, which still disturbed his mood.

Mrs. Wei also realized that she had talked a lot, she was not like this, but for some reason she has been a little restless since she got up early today, maybe she didn't sleep well last night.

All in all, he was a little irritable, and when he saw that Wei Chansheng was going to Qingni Temple, he subconsciously said more.

"That's it, now that you know, you won't say anything more for your mother."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wei hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You are in Qingni Temple today, if you are free, you can get along with Master Xinben more." ”

Seeing that Wei Chansheng had a little doubt on her face, she explained: "Today is your nineteenth birthday, and now although the Qingni Temple is no longer what it used to be, Master Xinben still has a virtuous monk, and he has a lot of contacts with him, and he can keep you safe if he wants to come." ”

Although Wei Chansheng was still a little confused, he thought that his mother would never harm him, so he nodded and agreed.

Mrs. Wei watched Wei Chansheng walk out, and only sighed faintly......

"Brother Wang?"

As soon as Wei Chansheng walked to the door of Wei's mansion, he saw Wang Su, who was dressed neatly and was about to go out.

Deng Qing made an appointment with Wang Su today, and he was preparing to go to the appointment.

Yesterday, somehow, Deng Qing didn't come to him, could it be that he couldn't solve the matter of killing the old man?

It shouldn't be......

"Oh, it's Brother Wei Xian." Wang Su said with a smile.

"Brother Wang, are you going out too?"

"Exactly." Wang Su replied, seeing that Wei Chansheng was dressed very plainly today, and there was a faint smell of burning on his body, he immediately remembered the matter of Qingnie Temple, and said with a smile: "By the way, today is your birthday, you are going to Qingni Temple now, right?" ”

Wei Chansheng smiled and said, "Tonight, my father set up a banquet in the mansion, invited some uncles and uncles, and invited Brother Wang to come." ”

Wei Chansheng's original intention was good, at the birthday banquet in the evening, in addition to inviting some of his friends, Wei Lu would also invite some of his colleagues.

You must know that although Wei Lu is in the Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, after all, the official worships Zuo Shilang, and his rank is not low, and the people he is familiar with are all high-ranking officials and nobles.

Wei Chansheng thought that if Wang Su could get acquainted with one or two, it would be of great benefit.

However, Wang Su didn't appreciate it, thought about it, shook his head and refused, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have some things today, I may not be able to make the appointment on time, please forgive me." ”

Wei Chansheng was a little disappointed, after all, Wang Su was his life-saving benefactor, and he had a great favor for him, and he was a little regretful that he failed to repay the favor.

"Okay then."

In fact, Wang Su didn't attend Wei Chansheng's birthday banquet just because he wanted to help Deng Qing and the embroidery department investigate the case.

Although Wei Chansheng has a pure heart and is more simple-minded, his father Wei Lu is not so simple.

Wei Chansheng came to invite him, but Wei Lu did not contribute to it.

Wei Lu's purpose is obvious, that is, he wants to take Lao Guan's path through himself, and if he attends, he can introduce himself to his colleagues, so as to give a hint to the outside world that he has reached some kind of deal or alliance with Lao Guan, and make a profit from it.

Although Wang Su is not very good at and does not care much about the intrigue in these officialdoms, he is also unwilling to become a stepping stone for others for no reason, so he is reluctant to attend Wei Chansheng's birthday banquet.

After the two parted at the gate of the Wei Mansion, Wang Su went straight to the place where he had made an appointment with Deng Qing, and Wei Chansheng got into the carriage of the Wei Mansion and went to Qingnei Temple with Wei Xusheng, who had been waiting for a long time......

"How's it going?"

When Wang Su arrived at the restaurant, he saw Deng Qing sitting by the window alone and asked.

There is no one else on this floor except Deng Qing, and I am afraid that the only person who can do this at this meal, in this prosperous area of Tianjing, is probably the Embroidery Division.

Deng Qing saw Wang Su by the window just now, and naturally he didn't feel surprised, took out a pile of files and slapped them on the table, and said, "See for yourself." ”

Wang Su nodded, poured himself a cup of tea and sat down to consult the file.

Deng Qing sighed and said, "You are really looking for trouble." ”

Wang Su's eyes never left the file, and he asked lightly, "What's wrong?" ”

Deng Qing said: "Don't pretend to be stupid for me, you kid, you know what I'm talking about." ”

Wang Su said: "I know, I killed the people, so I asked what's wrong?" ”

"You!" Although there was no one around, Deng Qing still lowered his voice and said, "Why are you so confused." What time is it? It's not that you don't know how tense the situation in Tianjing is now, and at this juncture, you still have the leisure to kill an insignificant little person. ”

Wang Su was dedicated to two things, and the speed of flipping through the file was extremely fast, which could be said to be ten lines at a glance, but it did not delay his dialogue with Deng Qing at all, and said: "Little people? How could he be a small person? You should have found out the inside story a long time ago, right? I came to Tianjing this time, first, to visit Lao Guan, and secondly, to kill this person. ”

Deng Qing said angrily: "I know you're going to kill him, but can't you just look at the timing?" At present, this case is enough for us to be busy, and our embroidery division still has to guard against the national teacher of the Hu nationality, how can we have the energy to help you wipe your ass again? ”

Although there are not many dossiers, Wang Su's reading speed obviously takes the lead, and in just a while, Wang Su finished reading the dossier.

He put the file down, frowned, and said, "Why are the dead children?" ”

Deng Qing also knew that now was not the time to blame Wang Su, but it was still important to handle the case, so he glared at Wang Su and returned to the topic.

"Yes, the dead are all male dolls, not even twenty years old, and they were killed at a young age, which is really pitiful."

Less than twenty years old?

Wang Su's left index finger tapped lightly on the tabletop, Deng Qing knew that this was Wang Su's little habit when he was thinking, so he didn't bother him anymore.

Knock –

......

"Hu'er...... Mother's Tiger...... You've just turned nineteen...... It's not easy for my mother to have a child like you, why did you leave...... A thief with a thousand knives, you won't die well......"

......

Mrs. Zheng?

Zheng Hu?

Knock –

......

"That night was the young master's birthday, the young master drank some wine, and after dinner in the evening, he went back to the room to rest. When it was about time to come, he asked me to boil water so that he could bathe. After bathing, the young master read the book for a while, and finally turned off the lights and fell asleep. ”

......

Scholar Xiao Li?

Liu Mengde?

Knock –

Wang Su's eyes froze, and Deng Qing also noticed Wang Su's abnormality and asked, "Have a clue?" ”

Wang Su pointed to the file and said: "The three people above, as well as Liu Mengde and the Buddha Yu of Longshou Villa, I need to know how old they are today, and I also need to know if the day they died is their birthday." ”

"Birthday?"

Deng Qing asked suspiciously: "Why is this still related to birthday?" ”

Wang Su shook his head and said, "I don't know, but do you remember that when we left Zheng Mansion to go to Liu's Mansion, we heard General Zheng Kang's wife crying. ”

Deng Qing's memory is not as good as Wang Su's, and after thinking for a while, he said with some uncertainty: "It should be, there should be, right?" ”

Wang Su glanced at him and said, "What do you mean there should be?" We obviously heard it that day, and Mrs. Zheng was crying that Zheng Hu had just turned nineteen years old and died. When I arrived at Liu's house, I asked Liu Mengde's scholar alone, I didn't care about it at the time, I just remembered that he also told me that the night Liu Mengde died was his birthday, but I don't know if he was nineteen years old. You just said that the dead are under twenty years old, and you reminded me. ”

Deng Qing also realized the problem and said, "Do you think that the deceased all died on the day they just turned nineteen? Such an evil sect? Killing people still depends on the eight characters of the birthday? ”

Wang Su said: "Who knows? But at the moment, this is the only clue that can string these people together. After all, except for Liu Mengde and Zheng Hu, everyone else is not a noble son, they have children, carpenters or something, and they can't find anything in common at all. ”

Wang Su said very reasonably, and at present, it seems that this is also the most likely, at least much more reliable than the murderer is the king of Qi.

After all, after the later investigation, the two bones that were dug up recently have nothing to do with King Qi, and the suspicion of King Qi can be ruled out for the time being.

However, Deng Qing was still a little puzzled and said: "Among these deceased, except for Zheng Hu and Liu Mengde, who may have a little intersection, there is no possibility that the others know each other, they are not in the same circle, except for the household department, who else can clearly know their birthdays?" Could it be that the murderer has something to do with the household? ”

The household department is one of the six departments that is in charge of population affairs, and the people must be registered for birth and death, and they are included in the household register.

Deng Qing's current meaning is that it is unlikely that this matter was done by the household department, but it may be that the people from the household department betrayed the information to the murderer.

And......

Deng Qing asked again: "And there are so many people born on the same day, why did the murderer have to choose these people?" Isn't it easier to kill civilians than nobles? ”

Wang Su glanced at him and said, "I'm not omniscient, if you ask me, who will I ask?" The murderer may have his set of criteria for selecting people, but we don't know it now, so you should check if it was born in the same place first. In addition, the department should also have a list of household officials, right? Follow the list to see who is suspicious, and investigate secretly first. ”

"Of course I know that." Deng Qing smiled maliciously, Wang Su knew his style of acting, so he reminded him to investigate secretly.

Now it seems that he will probably not listen.

"Alright, I'll go first."

After that, Deng Qing left, leaving behind a silver ingot, just enough for tea.

Wang Su was playing with the silver in his hand, and sighed that the price of Tianjing was really high.

Wait a minute......

Not good!
