Chapter 82: Peel back the clues
Xie Xuan didn't answer and asked: "In the eyes of Lord Feng, what kind of person is Miss Chen?" β
Feng Shoudao didn't think about it, so he said: "People with extremely outstanding ability to solve cases and conduct autopsies, especially autopsies, can be called the best in the world!" β
"Case judgment and autopsy ......" Xie Xuan whispered twice before asking again, "In addition to case judgment and autopsy, what kind of person is Miss Chen?" β
In addition to the verdict and post-mortem ...... Feng Shoudao didn't know why, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to be cautious and tentative, "What does the prince mean?" β
"In other words," Xie Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth, "In the eyes of Lord Feng, Miss Chen is also a person who judges cases and performs autopsies?" β
Or else? Feng Shoudao still didn't know why, but this time he didn't even dare to ask, and only looked at him with a begging gaze.
Xie Xuan put away the jade bone landscape fan and got up, paced to him, tapped his desktop twice with the handle of the fan, and said with a deep meaning: "At this point, you are indeed inferior to the above-mentioned adults. β
The words fell, and the jade bone landscape fan was displayed, and he left.
Feng Shoudao looked at his back, and his heart sank.
Wen Kui naturally knew that he won the seventeenth place in the second class at the age of twenty-seven. At his age, he has achieved such results, not to mention that there are no ancients, but there are only a handful. If it was put on others, it would have been co-opted by major forces long ago, and the future is immeasurable. He didn't fall well, all because Cao Guorui took a fancy to him and wanted to accept him as Chenglong's fast son-in-law, and he refused mercilessly after learning that Cao Guorui's daughter was a fat lady who did not learn and had bad conduct. Cao Guorui was annoyed and angry, and he was afraid that others would get in the way, so he didn't even want to keep the election, and directly stuffed him to Beilu County to be the magistrate.
From the moment Wen Kui left the capital, everyone, including himself, understood that he would never be able to return to the capital in his life.
But Xie Xuan praised him.
Feng Shoudao's mind was in a hurry, and Xie Xuan had already returned to the Yuan Hall.
Under the service of the clerk, he took off his coat. While waiting for Banxia and Ziling to prepare hot water, he leaned into the chaise longue, leaned on a few sides, and asked, "There is no news from Lingquan yet?" β
"Nope." Chonglou replied, "But he has been in Qingxi County for nearly three months, and even if he still finds nothing, he should come back." β
Xie Xuan tilted his head and looked at the courtyard through the window, "What about Lingyou, what have you found in the past few days?" β
"The white jade four-eared Yi furnace is a congratulatory gift from Master Yiqing on the 80th birthday of Mrs. Yao. Three years ago, this congratulatory gift was given by Mrs. Yao to Wu Daye, a protΓ©gΓ© who was sent to Qianzhong County to serve as the county guard. But on the way to Qianzhong County, Wu Daye encountered bandits, and all his belongings were robbed, including the white jade four-eared Yi furnace. However, in the past few years, Wu Daye has never given up looking for the white jade four-eared Yi furnace. Three months ago, that is, before Zhou Zhongcai was killed, he had heard that the white jade four-eared Yi furnace was in the hands of Jiang Kun, a wealthy gentleman of Jinyi County under Tanyang County. But when he sent someone to Jinyi County to find Jiang Kun, Jiang Kun said that the white jade four-eared Yi furnace had been stolen again. Ling You turned around and went to the bookcase, and while giving him the information from the investigation, he said, "After that, the white jade four-eared Yi furnace appeared in Song Yanzhong's study. β
"Ma Huai's father, that is, the one who went out to collect medicinal herbs and never came back, according to the investigation of the hidden guard, he has been to Jinyi County three times in recent months."
"Jinyi County is very close to Luyang County?" Xie Xuan asked.
"It's adjacent to Luyang County." Ling You replied.
Xie Xuan put down the information, clasped his hand and tapped it twice, "What about the paper of the secret letters?" β
"Judicial Cao Shao." Ling You frowned and said, "How little paper is, there is no evidence at present, and I can't guess." However, when I followed Lord Feng to the account room to check these papers, that Lord Wang was very wrong. β
Chonglou, Shishu, Wenmo, Banxia, Ziling, Ruolan, and Qingxue all looked at him.
instantly became the focus, which made Ling You raise his head quite complacently and put up the shelf. It wasn't until Xie Xuan's cold and gloomy gaze came over that he smiled and replied, "That Lord Wang first inquired about the purpose of these papers from Lord Feng, and then I didn't know where I got the news that we were checking the secret letters, so he turned his head again, and while cooperating with us to check the source of these papers, he asked me if Miss Chen had found any new clues. β
"And how did you answer?" After a simple grooming of the Star Tower, Chen Chaoyan, who had changed into clothes, walked in, sat down in the chair under Xie Xuan's left hand, and asked.
Ling You said with a smile: "Of course I answered yes." β
Xie Xuan handed the investigation materials of the Baiyu Four-Ear Yi Furnace to Chen Chaoyan. Chen Chaoyan took it and asked while looking at it, "Who have you told about investigating the source of those three secret letters?" β
"I only told Master Feng." Ling You replied, "Afterwards, I specially asked Lord Feng. Master Feng said that he hadn't even said anything about Zhao Wuwei. β
"Zhao Wuwei didn't say it, so how did he know?" After Chen Chaoyan asked funny, he looked at Xie Xuan again, "Wang Da's private interpersonal relationship has not yet come to fruition?" β
"Got an idea?" Xie Xuan asked.
After thinking about it, Chen Chaoyan said: "If Ma Huai was framed, then the evidence we found out earlier was all set by the real murderer according to Ma Huai or the Ma family. If Ma Huai hadn't been framed, obviously, Wang Da's abnormality could not be explained. So, now it depends on Wang Da's private interpersonal relationships. β
Speaking of this, Chen Chaoyan turned to Ling You and said, "The case files of the county guard mansion in the past fifteen years have not been investigated, haven't they been investigated?" β
"The case file will have to wait for two days, but after checking it out in the past few days, in addition to that Lord Wang, there is also someone who is also wrong." Lingyou deliberately sold a pass. After the eyes of the whole room were focused on him, he continued, "Song Yanzhong is also wrong. β
"Didn't Miss Chen ask me to check Song Yanzhong's interpersonal contacts? After I looked it up, I found a very strange phenomenon. Song Yanzhong's daughter would bring ten yuan to her parents' house every three months. β
Seeing that Chen Chaoyan wrung his eyebrows, Ling You stopped putting on a show, and said quickly: "Coincidentally, there is a merchant surnamed He in the north of the city, he has a total of five sons, his eldest son is married to Song Yanzhong's daughter, and the third son is married to Wang Da's youngest daughter. β
Yuejian asked: "Of the five sons, two of them married a lady from an official family, this merchant's ability is not small, what does he do?" β
Ling You said strangely: "You don't believe it, what he does is to make a living from the Pack Gang and the Horse Gang." β
Xie Xuan's action of shaking the jade bone landscape fan was slightly paused.
Shishu, Wenmo, Chonglou, Ruolan, and Qingxue also looked at each other silently.
Chen Chaoyan's focus was still on the merchant's son marrying the daughter of Song Yanzhong and Wang Da, and he didn't notice their strangeness: "The Packer Gang refers to helping people carry goods? The caravan is ......"
"That's right, the pack gang is to help people carry goods, which is similar to the nature of a dart shop." Ling You's attention was also playing with Chen Chaoyan, and he didn't pay attention to the expressions of other people at all, "The horse gang is similar to the pack luck gang, but the horses, mules, and donkeys of the pack transport gang are all owned by the owner, and the horses, mules, and donkeys of the horse gang are all personal. β
"In other words, as long as there is work, the pack gang and the horse gang can go from all over the world?" Chen Chaoyan asked thoughtfully.
Ling You nodded.
"Song Yanzhong's daughter has to get money back to her parents' family every three months, what about Wang Da's daughter?" Chen Chaoyan digested it for a moment and then asked.
"That's where it gets weird." Ling You put his hands behind his back and said puzzledly, "Judging from the results of the investigation, his daughter has never taken money from the family. With the king's usual behavior, this should be impossible. β
Tsukimi instinctively snorted, "You think everyone is just like you?" β
Ling You immediately sneered: "What's wrong with me?" β
Seeing that the two were quarreling again, Chen Chaoyan got up and went to the bookcase, and wrote down the relationship between Wang Da and Song Yanzhong. After writing his daughter's name on the branch extended by Song Yanzhong, and marking ten yuan of money, she put down her pen and looked at Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan also looked at her.
"There's definitely something wrong with the money." Chen Chaoyan said.
Xie Xuan nodded approvingly and asked, "What are you going to do?" β
Chen Chaoyan looked at the two who were still arguing, and after asking them to 'pause' first, he asked Ling Youdao: "Is there a check what's going on?" β
"Check," Ling You shrugged, "but I haven't figured out what's going on." β
Xie Xuan reminded slowly: "Ten yuan every three months, and forty yuan in a year." Forty dollars, not small money. Go and check when Song Yanzhong's daughter started to get money from her parents' house, and then check what kind of work this merchant surnamed He takes on weekdays. β
After a pause, he said again: "This matter will be handed over to Chonglou to investigate." You continue to check the white jade four-eared Yi furnace, so as not to startle the snake. β
After Chonglou and Lingyou should be in unison, Chen Chaoyan asked: "When you checked Song Yanzhong's interpersonal contacts before, you didn't alarm Wang Da and Song Yanzhong, right?" β
"No, it was all ...... before" Ling You looked at Xie Xuan.
Chen Chaoyan also looked at Xie Xuan. But after one glance, she said, "It's good if you don't have it." β
Xie Xuan glanced at her with a smile, and didn't explain much, only paused for a moment, and then ordered: "Since Wu Daye has found out that the white jade four-eared Yi furnace fell into the hands of Jiang Kun, a wealthy gentleman in Jinyi County, Jiang Kun also admitted the matter. Then take a good look at how the white jade four-eared Yi furnace was stolen in his hands, and how the magistrate of Jinyi County handled the case after it was stolen. Check it again, where is Ma Huai's father when he said it was stolen. Without further ado, you do it now! β
Ling You should be, and then looked at Chen Chaoyan, "Does Miss Chen have anything else to order?" β
After Chen Chaoyan thought about it, he said, "Ask Jiang Kun how he got the White Jade Four-Eared Yi Furnace." In addition, after the white jade four-ear Yi furnace was stolen, if Jiang Kun reported the case, he would bring the case back. If you don't report the crime, bring him back. β
After the mausoleum tour was done, I went quickly.
