Bai Yujing never thought that the person sitting on the main stage was actually Shaoqing of Dali Temple?

According to the round, it is natural to think, after all, from the fourth rank of the big official, this position is very reasonable.

But......

People are unreasonable.

There were three people sitting in the hall, on the left hand side was Feng Kaiyuan, the county magistrate of Yuhang County, and on the right hand side was also a man about forty years old, and the young man in the middle looked like he was only in his early twenties, at most twenty-seven or eight.

Bai Yujing thought that the son of the prince was sitting on it, and the one below was Shaoqing, but he didn't think that there was someone who had reached such a high position just by looking at it.

Shaoqing said: "How is the case investigated?" ”

His voice was so small that it was hard to hear without trying to hear it.

The wind also became quieter, and it seemed that he did not dare to drown out his voice.

Chu Xiuran said: "If you go back to your lordship, there will be a slight progress. ”

"This matter is not within the jurisdiction of Dali Temple, but now that the King of the Southwest, His Royal Highness the Princess, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all concerned about this matter, I naturally can't stand idly by."

Bai Yujing was stunned again, keenly looking for clues from the words, he spoke first about the King of the Southwest, and then said Why is Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Lord Shaoqing said indifferently: "Let's talk about it, what is the progress?" ”

Chu Xiuran didn't know what kind of temper this Shaoqing Lord was, and he didn't know how to grasp the depth of his speech, so he could only say tentatively: "Yesterday, Xiaguan found a corpse near Hangzhou Tang, this person is named Zhang Falu, he is the only one left in the family, he is the one who found the bodies of the three boys before that, in his home, I met ...... Goblin. ”

The county commander Feng Kaiyuan's face changed slightly, and the young master was still as steady as Mount Tai, and said indifferently: "What kind of demon is it?" ”

Chu Xiuran said: "I don't know, but I clearly saw a red demonic qi escaping from in front of me. ”

Lord Shaoqing: "What do you mean, monsters infested in the Hangzhou Tang area?" ”

Chu Xiuran nodded yes.

Shaoqing waved his hand, "Someone." ”

A woman walked out of the back hall, the woman was dressed in the official robe of Dali Temple, and her hand was equipped with a Ling Xue knife, and she saluted: "My lord." ”

Lord Shaoqing said: "Arrest all the people who entered all the areas along the border of Hangzhou Tang yesterday and try them one by one." ”

The woman said, "Yes! ”

Then turn around and leave.

Baiyu Kyoto was stunned, is there anyone who handles cases like this?

Chu Xiuran hurriedly shouted, "My lord! ”

Shaoqing frowned and looked at him, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Xiuran said: "That monster must have nothing to do with the people along the border of Hangzhou Tang, they are now the poorest people in Yuhang County, and they only live on fishing every day, how can they do these things?" ”

Lord Shaoqing: "Have you investigated the case before?" ”

Chu Xiuran shook his head.

Lord Shaoqing said again: "Have you ever handled the imperial case?" ”

Chu Xiuran shook his head again.

Lord Shaoqing: "Then you should listen to me, since the scope of the prisoner has been set, you have to follow the rules of Dali Temple, and would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let go of one." ”

He said to the woman: "Yin Hong, arrest everything that can be arrested, and if anyone resists, correct the law on the spot." ”

Chu Xiuran shouted, "My lord! The people on the road in Yuhang County are all people, how can they be mixed into the demons? But all the people who have a little silver have gone, leaving behind the old, weak, sick and disabled, were caught in Dali Temple, according to the rules of Dali Temple, enter the door of thirty boards, who can get out alive? ”

Lord Shaoqing raised his head, stared at Chu Xiuran and said, "Do you know that your head is only temporarily stored around your neck?" If I go back to the Ming official's house now, not only have you not solved the case in the past few days, but you have not even made any progress at all, what do you think the consequences will be! ”

Chu Xiuran still didn't give up, and immediately knelt on the ground: "My lord, don't kill them all!" ”

Bai Yujing stood outside the door at this time, quite shocked in his heart.

He was shocked not by Chu Xiuran, but by why the death of a few little boys and a few women had attracted the attention of so many people, the princess and the prince? And the emperor?

Even if the emperor is diligent and loves the people, it is reasonable, but what is the princess, the crown prince, and the king of the southwest doing in this combination? Avenge these children? It doesn't make sense.

And what about them......

Bai Yujing seemed to understand something, and immediately walked into the hall.

Chu Xiuran was reasoning, and when he found that Bai Yujing walked in, he was a little stunned, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing when you come in?" ”

Yin Hong said coldly: "Who is coming?" When you see Lord Shaoqing, why don't you kneel? ”

Bai Yujing bowed down and made a literati salute: "I am the county lieutenant's inner courtier, and I came here today to report yesterday's progress to the county lieutenant, which disturbed the lord Shaoqing, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

This is the county party, I am a guest here, you let me kneel a hammer in my house?

Shaoyang doesn't have that many kneeling salutes.

Lord Shaoqing raised his eyebrows coldly, "Are you Chu Xiuran's inner mansion doorman?" ”

Bai Yujing said: "Exactly." ”

Chu Xiuran was stunned, and looked at Bai Yujing with a frown, I'm going to die, what are you doing here? Hurry up to be buried together?

Bai Yujing smiled at him calmly and did not make a sound.

Lord Shaoqing: "What progress have you made?" ”

Bai Yujing took out the fragments of clothes he picked up yesterday, handed them to Yin Hong, who came to take over, and explained: "My lord, this is what I saw the monster in Hangzhou Tang yesterday, it should be the clothes of the dead boy. ”

Lord Shaoqing looked at it and said slowly, "What's the use?" ”

Bai Yujing said: "Back to my lord, this is evidence. ”

Lord Shaoqing: "Can this thing prove who the murderer is?" ”

Bai Yujing shook his head, "This thing can prove that the murderer is not those people on the edge of Hangzhou Pond." ”

Lord Shaoqing's face was much more solemn, and then he sneered: "How to prove it?" ”

Bai Yujing said: "The fragrance on this dress is the fragrance of the little Buddha brew, and it has not been dispersed after soaking in the river for a long time, and there is naturally no little Buddha brew in the river, so that is to say, the murderer once drank the little Buddha brew, after all, we all know that the deceased's family is very poor and cannot afford this wine." ”

Lord Shaoqing said: "You mean, the murderer drank the little Buddha brew when he killed people?" ”

Bai Yujing said: "Yes, since the scope has been locked, please do it." ”

Lord Shaoqing's face sank, "How to do it?" ”

Bai Yujing bowed down and said: "The scope of the murderer has been locked in the crowd of people who drink Little Buddha Brew, presumably there are only a few people in the entire Yuhang County who can afford to drink Little Buddha Brew, maybe less than the people around Hangzhou Tang, according to the rules that it is better to kill by mistake than to let go, as long as all of them are arrested and tortured, they will definitely be able to ask why." ”

"This ......"

Feng Kaiyuan was stunned, and immediately shouted: "Bastard! ”

The other person sitting next to him glared angrily and said, "How can this be reasonable, do you know that Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince are also drinking Little Buddha Brew now, is it possible that you want to arrest them all?" ”

Bai Yujing was not deterred by the appearance of the two, and arched his hand: "My lord, I don't know something. ”

Lord Shaoqing glanced at him and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Yujing said: "Why don't you arrest people yet?" ”

He didn't wait for Lord Shaoqing to speak, but sighed to himself, "I understand, it must be that the crowd is too scattered to catch it, why don't you do this, I and the county lieutenant will check the evidence again and narrow down the scope a little, how about it?" ”

He was already looking for a step for Lord Shaoqing, and at the same time expressed a point of view.

I'm a doorman, a dumb doorman, I don't understand your terminology, so don't embarrass me and my master.

The corners of Lord Shaoqing's mouth rose slightly, and he said with a smile: "Chu Xiuran, you have found a good guest." ”

Chu Xiuran was already sweating profusely at this time, swallowed his saliva and said, "Thank you for your praise, I ...... I'll look it up now. ”

Lord Shaoqing said: "I'll give you two days, if this case is still unresolved, you can go and explain it to the official family in person." ”
