Shen Sitang whispered a few words next to Chen Yue'an, Chen Yue'an understood, and smiled at Cao Qingming: "Lord Cao, can you let us meet the people of Xunfang Pavilion?" ”

Cao Qingming responded happily: "Of course you can, Zuo Yushi, please." ”

Xunfang Pavilion's old bustard Lingniang, once also a smash hit Oiran, and later the old Zhu Huang became the old bustard, the original Xunfang Pavilion's business and Yichun Courtyard were on par, but I didn't want to be intoxicated to take over and kidnap all the guests.

Ling Niang can be regarded as an old Jianghu, but she was angry for a while, and someone instigated her, so she found a killer on impulse.

Now that the matter has been revealed, Lingniang is crying endlessly in the cell of Dali Temple, and her intestines are repentant.

The dungeon was pitch black, and when Ling Niang was dragged out of the cell, she thought she was going to be executed, so she trembled with fright and kept begging for mercy.

"Official, the slave family really doesn't dare, you can spare the slave family this time, the official can do whatever he wants." Eight Chinese Net

There were people from the Inspectorate, how dare the people of Dali Temple talk nonsense, and after scolding Ling Niang for a few words, they tied her to a chair, making her unable to move.

Ling Niang was very scared: "What is the official doing?" The slave family has explained everything that should be explained! ”

"Your confession says that you were instigated to find the killer, who instigated you?" In the darkness, Shen Sitang's voice suddenly sounded.

Ling Niang followed the sound, but the dungeon was too dark, and they deliberately didn't light the candle, she only knew that the other party was a woman, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly.

"This female official, the slave family knows that it is wrong, and it's okay to be drunk, let the slave family go, please!"

Shen Sitang was impatient: "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise you are afraid that you will taste the same torture equipment in Dali Temple!" ”

Ling Niang was immediately frightened, swallowed her saliva and replied honestly: "Yes... It's the old friend of the slave family. ”

"What's his name?"

Ling Niang hesitated for a while and said: "It doesn't matter who he is, and he just reminded the slave family that it was the slave family themselves who came up with finding the killer." ”

"If you want to say your name, you can say it, do you really want to be punished?"

Ling Niang shook her head: "Official, you can't say it." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yue'an said coldly: "You can't say it's right? Come on, chop off her fingers for me, remember, chop them off one by one! ”

When Ling Niang heard this, she cried on the spot: "The official spares his life, the official spares his life!" ”

Chen Yue'an had an order, how dare the people of Dali Temple not listen, and immediately stepped forward to press Ling Niang's hand on the arm of the chair, and pulled out the dagger to chop off her fingers.

When Ling Niang saw that they were coming, she was so frightened that she screamed: "I said! I say! ”

Chen Yue'an threatened in a cold voice: "You only have this one chance." ”

The implication is that no matter how much she dares to be dishonest, she will not be given a chance to breathe next time.

Ling Niang cried so much that her face was snot and tears, she was really scared, so she had to explain her good name.

"His name is Wang Haiquan."

Ling Niang only said the name of her good friend, and didn't say anything else.

Wang Haiquan? Shen Sitang felt that this name was very familiar, she thought about it carefully, and suddenly heard the Dali Siqing on the side speak.

"Lord Wang?" Cao Qingming asked: "The Wang Haiquan you are talking about is Lord Wang, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy?" ”

Shen Sitang suddenly, she remembered why Wang Haiquan made her feel familiar, Mu Huaichuan asked her to transcribe the list, there was a merchant who bought silk from southern Xinjiang and Wang Haiquan, a waiter of the Hanlin Academy.

The merchant was one of the seven people she had finalized, Wang Shuo.

Shen Sitang didn't expect that they hadn't focused on investigating Wang Shuo, and Wang Haiquan behind him had entered their sight first.

Ling Niang's name was said, and she no longer hid anything, and confessed frankly: "It's Lord Wang, it's right, the slave family can be regarded as Lord Wang's outer room, a few days ago he came to the slave family, and the slave family complained to him a few words, and he said that intoxication is like a roadblock, if the slave family doesn't like to kick it away, don't care too much." ”

Shen Sitang sneered, this Lord Wang is worthy of being a scholar, and his words are very technical.

He didn't say bluntly to let Ling Niang get rid of the intoxication, but the meaning was obvious, and Ling Niang was very likely to find the trouble of the intoxication after thinking about it.

But this trouble is a bit too much.

"Just because of Lord Wang's few words, you found a killer to get rid of drunkenness?"

Jiao Niang hurriedly shook her head: "Originally, I didn't plan to do this, the business of Xunfang Pavilion was not very good in those days, and the slave family basically knew what kind of guests came, and there happened to be an outlaw who went to the rivers and lakes, and the slave family took the wrong path." ”

"Oh? Such a coincidence? ”

Ling Niang subconsciously followed when she heard this: "Who said it wasn't, it was also the sky that was going to kill me, so I ran into it." ”

Shen Sitang said it cleverly, it was different from what Ling Niang said, Ling Niang thought that everything was providential, it happened that she wanted to find drunken trouble, and it happened that there was an outlaw in Xunfang Pavilion, so she took advantage of the situation, planning to kill the intoxicated mind without doing anything, but what Shen Sitang thought was that Wang Haiquan said some highly suggestive words to Ling Niang on the front foot, and a Jianghu killer came on the back foot, and it also reached Ling Niang's ears, this is not everything arranged for her, just wait for Ling Niang to get into the trap.

That's right, Shen Sitang thinks that it is very likely that Wang Haiquan calculated Lingniang.

Of course, there are still many doubts about this, such as why did Wang Haiquan do this? What is the purpose of this? And who instructed him?

She really didn't figure it out for a while, what could she get by arranging a killer to assassinate drunk?

Wang Haiquan is all the relevant people they are investigating in southern Xinjiang, so what about the intoxication? What is the meaning of Wang Haiquan's desire to get rid of intoxication? What role does intoxication play in this?

Chen Yue'an sighed, as far as the clues they knew so far, this matter was too complicated, and it gave him a headache to think about.

Shen Sitang looked at Cao Qingming: "Lord Cao, Lingniang will be detained for the time being, don't let anyone visit her, I don't know what Lord Cao is doing about Lord Wang." ”

Cao Qingming's official position is much higher than Shen Sitang's, but Shen Sitang is a member of the Inspectorate, who is not afraid of the Inspectorate, Cao Qingming responded seriously, and then personally sent Chen Yuean and Shen Sitang away.

Back at the Inspectorate, Hu Zhonglun and the others had been waiting in the tea room for a long time, and when they saw the two, they looked at each other.

Chen Yue'an sat down: "I can't figure this out, Qianning, you can tell me." ”

Shen Sitang nodded, and carefully explained the clues they got in Dali Temple.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Hu Zhonglun was the first to ask: "Why do you want to kill drunk?" Is it intoxicated by the fine work of southern Xinjiang? ”

Zeng Shiting gave him a blank look: "What is your problem?" Lord Wang is not from our Inspectorate, how does he know that we are going to kill Nanjiang Xizuo? ”

When Shen Sitang heard this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

"What if Wang Hai is all about southern Xinjiang? When you go to southern Xinjiang to do business, will the people in southern Xinjiang be unaware? What if they sent a message to the capital, and asked them to plant people in the capital to solve all the hidden dangers? ”

Everyone suddenly realized that they had been obsessed with Yichun Courtyard for many years, and Li Guichuan, the boss of Yichun Courtyard, was a meticulous work in southern Xinjiang, so it was inevitable that she didn't know something, and it was reasonable to be treated as a hidden danger.
