The door was open, but the door was sealed by the yamen, and in the name of protecting the crime scene, outsiders were not allowed to enter.

Xia Jingyun could only peek in at the door.

The furnishings in the room are not complicated, and directly opposite the gate is a luxurious shadow wall carved with dragons and phoenixes.

Then, like ordinary banquet and drinking places, the main seat in the center leans against the shadow wall, and the guests are located on the left and right sides.

There is an open space in the middle, and I think it is where the Oiran Niang is interested, talking about the piano and love, and dancing to find out where the shadow is.

The drapery is light gauze, with some pink, creating an ambiguous and warm atmosphere.

In the middle of the room, there are things on the table of the main seat and the left and right hands, and I think it is where Long Gongzi, Ye Gongzi and Hu Gongzi sat that day.

On these three cases, at the moment, they are still the same as they were at the time of the crime, and the leftovers placed are estimated to be rancid.

"What's behind this shadow wall?"

Xia Jingyun hugged the Oiran Niang and asked curiously.

Oiran Niang looked at Xia Jingyun's side face that was still handsome even with a beard, and her cheeks were slightly red and said, "What else can you do!" ”

Oh, you!

Xia Jingyun suddenly understood, this was a temporary emergency place for the brief collision of dry firewood and fire.

"Is this a bed?"

"Oh, it's just a soft couch, why are you chasing after this!"

The Oiran pretended to be shy, wondering if Xia Jingyun had any strange habits.

Xia Jingyun's gaze swept over the room again, "Is there a window here?" ”

"Yes. Look there. ”

Oiran pointed to the air windows hidden behind the curtains in the left and right corners, "In order to prevent thieves, the owner is also afraid of harassing distinguished guests, so he directly opened such a window." ”

Xia Jingyun looked at the two windows with a wooden stick standing in the middle of the one-foot-square, "It means that it is impossible for someone in here to climb in through the window to commit murder and then escape through the window?" ”

Oiran nodded, "Isn't it, and there are so many people guarding the door, that's why everyone said that Ye Gongzi must be the murderer, who knows if he is still pretending to be stupid there and saying that he is drunk, could it be that Long Gongzi stabbed himself to death with a knife?" ”

Xia Jingyun glanced at the room again, memorized the furnishings and details, and nodded, "Let's go, let's go back to the room!" ”

Hearing this, the Oiran couldn't help but tremble, and held his arm affectionately, "Okay, let the slave family serve the master." ”

As soon as he took a few steps, Chen Fugui ran over quickly, and said a few words in Xia Jingyun's ear with a serious face, Xia Jingyun's complexion changed suddenly, and he decisively pulled out his arm and looked at the Oiran Niang apologetically, "There is something important, another day!" ”

As he spoke, he just turned around and took two steps, took out a small ingot of silver from his arms and put it in the other party's hand, "Reward you!" ”

After saying that, he took the guards and went downstairs.

The Oiran watched his back go away and stamped her foot hatefully, "Do I want this cold silver?" ”

Xia Jingyun naturally didn't know that the charm of his beard could make the spring heart of the Oiran Niang, who was accustomed to dancing with guns and sticks, he walked out of the Baihualou with full thoughts, and saw a fiery red horse carrying a girl as bright as a flame, galloping under the scorching sun.

The horse stopped in front of the Baihualou as if they had a heart, and the girl on horseback jumped off the horse lightly, threw the reins to the little maid at the door, glanced at Xia Jingyun, and took it back after a moment's pause, and walked straight in.

What a sassy girl!

Xia Jingyun secretly praised in his heart, and asked the people around him: "Excuse me, which aunt is this in the building?"

"Shh The man was frightened, "This is the daughter of the Ye family of the Cao Gang, Ye Hongluan, the second lady of the Ye family, who is known as the Rouge Tiger, you told those people of the Cao Gang to hear this, I am afraid that they will be thrown into the river to feed the fish!" ”

Xia Jingyun understood what the other party was doing when he went in, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "In the countryside, I don't know the big guys, but it's a joke." This Miss Ye is very popular in the Cao Gang? ”

"Pretty much." At this time, it was noon, the sun was scorching outside, and there was no business inside, so this little guy also had the leisure to say a few more words, "The Ye family has passed down to the present generation of the Ye gang leader, and the Ye gang leader is kind, but the men of the Cao Gang are all licking blood from the knife edge, and some can't hold it down, but fortunately, the second lady came out, and she has subdued many people with martial arts, and now she is still taking a group of Cao Gang young and strong, and she is going around to suppress bandits, Huai'an County, who doesn't know the name of the Rouge Tiger!" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, glanced at Chen Fugui, and the two thanked each other and left.

Walking on the road, Chen Fugui carefully reminded: "Childe, the mess between your Miss Qin and Miss Su hasn't been unraveled yet!" ”

Xia Jingyun immediately said angrily: "What are you talking about! Ben Gongzi is bent on solving the case, where are there so many crooked thoughts. ”

Chen Fugui whispered: "I remember that Gongzi said before that people are similar to cats, and they will only blow up their hair when they are stepped on and their feet hurt." ”

Xia Jingyun broke the defense on the spot.

Also breaking the defense is the white cloud side.

Returning to the official office with unparalleled prestige in a short period of time, he immediately arranged matters related to the investigation of the case.

After waiting for the order, everyone was busy, and when he was a little free, he couldn't help but recall the bright red in his mind.

It was the unbridled youth, the surging vitality, and the rare throbbing in his heart.

He recalled everything at that time, and suddenly thought that the moment he was forced to ask by her at that time, the stammering tone would make her feel cowardly?

Ay! At that time, why was I confused, and I was stunned all of a sudden!

Baiyunbian, Baiyunbian, where is your unbeatable energy on weekdays!

It's okay, I'm sure with her sharp insight at the time, she must not be such a superficial person.

The calmness and impassionedness of the Ye Mansion alone must have made her feel ripples.

Next, as long as you chase after the victory, a good marriage is most likely expected!

Hey, speaking of opportunities, isn't this a good opportunity!

If the son of the Ye family is really not a murderer, as long as she finds out the truth, then she will definitely be grateful!

Moreover, in this process, there are also many opportunities to be contacted.

Bai Yunbian had some strange thoughts spinning in his mind, and finally converged into one: that is, to rescue his eldest brother!

Of course, the premise is that Ye Gongzi is really not a murderer.

Then he will be able to hold the beauty, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law must also be very appreciative and supportive, the family is harmonious and beautiful, with the help of Cao's help, and his career here will be no problem.

Maybe when he leaves office, he can still walk with a big fat boy.

Hum! When the time comes, let you Xia Jingyun be stunned again!

However, most things in this world are like this, and good plans often fall in the first step.

Just when Baiyunbian began to think about what name to give his son, the three people who returned one after another, and the news brought by each of them beat his heart lower and lower, and the more he beat it to pieces.

Du Wei, who went out to inquire about the news, said that recently Ye Gongzi and Long Gongzi have fallen in love with a girl, and the two are using their own means to win the hearts of beauties.

But because Long Gongzi's family background is far worse than Ye Gongzi, he occupies a favorable position in this battle.

It is impossible for the Ye family to let Ye Gongzi marry such a daughter of an ordinary family, but the Long family can, so between being a wife and a concubine, that girl naturally made a choice, after all, the Long family is not bad.

The reason why Ye Gongzi didn't catch up with the Long family's birthday banquet was actually to take advantage of the fact that this Long Gongzi was definitely not there to find the girl to understand.

Therefore, Ye Gongzi is likely to hold a grudge because of this, and if he is stimulated a little more, he will be drunk, and it is entirely possible to do such a thing.

Now, the motivation is there.

Then, the head catcher who went to ask the relevant people and other people to sort out the confession came to report again, and in everyone's witnesses, it was indeed at the time of the crime, only Ye Gongzi and Long Gongzi were in the room, and there was no back door in the room, and it was impossible for the window to enter and exit, combined before and after, there would only be two possibilities, either Ye Gongzi killed him, or Long Gongzi committed suicide.

After that, the county Cheng who was sent to the Long family to inquire about the grievances and hatreds of Long Gongzi also came back to report that Long Gongzi was planning to marry that girl in a few days, and he had only recently been promoted to helmsman, and it was when he was waiting for his appointment that he was full of ambition, and there was no possibility of suicide.

Later, a few people talked about this Ye Gongzi, who was also a good boy who was diligent and knowledgeable, but he didn't know what happened, and he began to wander into the wind and moon, and there were many absurd acts, and it was not surprising that there was such a move.

Bai Yunbian was directly dumbfounded.

No matter what, if you personally betray someone's son and brother for murder, can you still expect people to recognize you as an aunt and husband?

And under the education and arrogance he received since childhood, he never had the idea of exonerating him for personal gain.

It's just that, it seems that this is not the fate of this son.

Bai Yunbian sighed and stood up, "Let's go, go with this official to interrogate Ye Mingfeng!" ”

——

Outside the city of Chuning, there is a dilapidated cottage.

Originally, there was a group of bandits who were not long-eyed, and they felt that the mountains here were good, and they were close to the rudder of the Cao Gang, and there were a lot of people coming and going from the south to the north, and there was a lot of oil and water, so they set up camp here and tried to grow.

But they only thought of getting close to the Cao Gang, but they didn't expect that if they got close to the Cao Gang, the Cao Gang would not let them go.

So, just after robbing two groups of people, they were led by Ye Hongluan to the young and strong masters of the Cao Gang, and with one encirclement and suppression, the whole army was directly wiped out, and the cottage that they had worked so hard to build was also ruined along with their dreams.

But in this deserted village, there are a few men hiding at the moment.

Sitting on the main seat among the crowd is none other than Mr. Yuan, who is now leading the remnants of the Qin family to make waves.

A subordinate announced: "Boss, Bai Yunbian personally led someone to arrest Ye Mingfeng into the county office. ”

Mr. Yuan was satisfied, and said with a teasing tone: "Very good, this person has finally lived up to our expectations of him, and he is a good official." ”

Everyone laughed in unison.

"Now that this game has been laid, I will see that Xia Jingyun has arrived, and in the face of his good brother's personal conviction, will he turn it over, how can he turn it!"

Mr. Yuan smiled proudly: "If he flips, the future of this Baiyun side will be in danger, and we can also let Xiao Fengshan participate in his crime of favoritism by the way." If he doesn't turn it over, Long Zhengqing is such a son, and it will be a certainty to oppose Ye Wenhe! We'll be able to turn the Cao Gang upside down! When the time comes, simply kill him to avenge his son, and by the way, he can force Xiao Fengshan to make trouble! ”

Everyone was excited when they heard this, and they all said in unison: "The leader is wise! ”

Mr. Yuan was full of ambition, "Everyone, the troubled times are coming, it is a good time for us to show our talents, you and I work together, and glory and wealth are close at hand!" ”

Everyone roared!

——

On the official road hundreds of miles away from Chuning County, a huge convoy slowly ran over the ground.

The heavily armed guards watched vigilantly, guarding the carriage in the middle.

And after this convoy, about two or three miles away, there was also a lone carriage on the way.

It's like following.

In the carriage, the old and silent coachman sat a long sword under him.

The curtain of the car shook with the bumps, and it was vaguely seen that there seemed to be a boy half-lying inside.

Brother Gongzi is holding a pamphlet in his hand.

The booklet actually records all the experiences that Xia Jingyun has known to outsiders since he was born.

He looked at it carefully, not letting go of a single inconspicuous word.

Interestingly, whether it was the huge convoy in front or the lonely carriage behind, the people in the car never showed up.

——

"My lord, the facts of this case are already very clear, why don't you close the case?"

In the evening, in the county office, the county Cheng opened his mouth to persuade.

Bai Yunbian sat at the table and rubbed his head.

When Ye Mingfeng was interrogated just now, the other party knew that he knew that he would not be tortured without fear or what, and it was still those few sentences over and over again, I didn't kill him, I was drunk and fell asleep, and I fled because I was afraid.

When Bai Yunbian talked about his entanglement with that woman, Ye Mingfeng did not deny it, but said that he had too many women, so he would not kill his friends for many years because of this.

Judging from the current situation of all parties, all the evidence points to Ye Gongzi, and the entire evidence chain is very complete, and there seems to be no need to drag it on.

The staff sent by my father hadn't arrived yet, and I didn't even have anyone to talk to.

I don't know what that dog is doing, so I sneak over and don't come to meet me.

He sighed, "Order, ascend tomorrow." ”

——

Ye Mansion, Ye Hongluan and his parents sat together, their expressions solemn.

After combing through the facts of the case, Ye Hongluan said that after the on-site investigation he went to today, the three of them felt a little desperate about the case.

As close relatives, of course, they believe that their sons and brothers will not kill people so blatantly, but outsiders will not think so, and this ring of evidence does not support their thoughts.

Ye Mu's expression was sad, and she looked at Ye Wenhe with a blank look, "Master, what should I do?" Do you really want to make Ming Feng bear such a big sin? ”

Ye Wenhe sighed, "If all the evidence believes that he is a murderer, he is a murderer." At this point, it's hard for us to ride a tiger! ”

Ye Hongluan got up and walked to the window, the red clothes were against the sunset, but they couldn't hide the melancholy in their hearts.

——

"Childe, are you still thinking?"

Chen Fugui finished a set of punches outside the door, came in sweating, looked at Xia Jingyun, who was still standing by the inn window, and asked with concern.

Xia Jingyun hummed softly and looked out the window with blank eyes.

His instincts told him that it was an obvious frame-up, but he couldn't figure out how the other party did it.

If you don't understand it, then this Ye Gongzi's sin will be confirmed.

Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was and what his calculations were, it involved Baiyunbian and the Cao Gang, the primary purpose of his trip, and he couldn't just watch the other party's plan go on so easily.

Chen Fugui brought water and wiped his body, changed his clothes and came to Xia Jingyun's side, and looked out in style.

Feeling that there was a stove next to him, Xia Jingyun, who had been thinking for a long time, smiled and looked at Chen Fugui, who was staring at the window, "What are you looking at!" ”

Chen Fugui pointed towards a small oasis in the heart of the river, "Look at those birds, one of them is quite beautiful, and there is a touch of red on its back. ”

Xia Jingyun looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that on the surface of the river, the blue waves were rippling, and egrets were rising and falling in groups on Jiangxin Island, and sure enough, there was a bird with a touch of red on its back, squatting there leisurely.

However, as a big ship passed by, the sailor's shout made them flutter their wings in unison and fly towards the other side, among the birds, Xia Jingyun actually lost the figure of the red bird.

He was suddenly stunned, this scene flashed in his mind, and then he patted the window and said excitedly: "I understand!" I understand! ”
