Until he was gone.

Teng Zhutou surrounded Yeats and asked in a low voice, "Is this ......" looked at Pei Shaoqing, who was missing around the corner.

Yeats exhaled, "It's cold, let's go into the house and wait." ”

Everyone was puzzled, and when they saw Yeats entering, they had to follow in.

Yeats studied the information he had gotten and chatted with Qin Dachuan while flipping through it, Teng Chong and Yang Fuquan only then knew what Uncle Qin was doing, it turned out that he went to inquire about the current Attached Horse and all the small servants and stewards of the Attached Horse Mansion, but all the young and beautiful ones were checked by him.

Teng Chong asked with interest, "Is there a man who is eight feet long and has ancient skin?" ”

"What color is the ancient carcass?" Qin Dachuan obviously didn't understand.

Teng Chong realized that he had never heard of this color, but his mother, after a long time with Yeats, he just understood what kind of color it was, "It's the color of oil in black." ”

Yeats, who was studying the information, suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing, this explains a good image, Teng Zhutou is really a talent!

Teng Chong was heartbroken by Yeats's laughter and touched his nose.

Yeats almost burst into tears of laughter, "There's nothing wrong with the explanation." ”

That was still smiling, Teng Chong glanced at him unconvinced, "Hurry up and look at the case, if you can't tell the murderer tomorrow, the King of Huaiyang, who was angry with you, can arrest you in front of the emperor." ”

"That's not very good, I took the opportunity to meet the emperor and his old man, what a good thing."

"You ......" can't do an errand, the emperor kills you, it will be a bad thing when you go, even if it is a joke, Teng Chong didn't dare to say it, it is still taboo.

On this night, all the mansions and courtyards of the county lord of Qinfang were extremely unpeaceful, and even at the time of the third watch, the forbidden army in Beijing was dispatched.

Of course, Yeats and the others were completely unaware of these things, and they had already fallen asleep while lying on the couch with their clothes.

On the fifth watch, the gate of the palace was specially opened for Pei Jingning, and when he arrived at the imperial study, the emperor had already gotten up and waited.

"Ziqian, how is it?"

Pei Jingning showed a rare smile, "I lived up to the trust of the saint and saved people, and this time I didn't miss." ”

"Good, good." Emperor Long Qi said three good words in a row, like a hard-working boatman who had rowed a boat for a long time, and finally saw the dock docked at dawn to rest.

The two uncles and nephews are opposite, reflecting a rare ease.

After the excitement, Emperor Long Qi couldn't help but ask, "How much?" ”

Pei Jingning stretched out a hand.

Emperor Long Qi guessed with interest: "500,000 taels? ”

Pei Jingning nodded, "Yes, Holy Lord." ”

Emperor Long Qi, who was still smiling just now, suddenly turned cold, leaning back against the dragon chair, full of murderous intent.

Pei Jingning is also sharp.

Slowly, it dawned.

The oil lamp dimmed, the wick was not trimmed, and in a moment it burned to the ashes.

Emperor Long Qi pressed his temples with both hands, "This time, it was Yeats who found out the person involved?" ”

Pei Jingning raised his eyes, "Shengshang, he reasoned about the case, looked for motives, and knew that the people involved in the process were in a certain position in this case, but this person was specific ......"

I don't know when, the nephew especially likes to excuse this Yeats, and Emperor Long Qi smiled a little and said casually: "If he wasn't a man, I would have thought Ziqian liked him." ”

Pei Jingning suddenly saluted solemnly, "Enlighten the saint, ministers only like women." ”

Emperor Long Qi was really afraid that this capable nephew would be so good, seeing that his attitude was not like lying, he smiled, "That's good, otherwise I really won't be able to explain to your mother." ”

Emperor Long Qi didn't notice the loopholes and reminders in his nephew's words.

On the third day, Teng Chong thought that the king of Huaiyang would come over early in the morning to ask about his daughter's murderer, but as a result, he waited until noon and saw no one.

"What's going on?" He asked Yeats.

Yeats shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe it's because 'the hometown is more timid' that he doesn't dare to come." ”

Teng Chong thought about it, "No, this case is strange from the beginning, King Huaiyang is trying to find out the murderer of his daughter with great fanfare, and on the other hand, he doesn't let people do this or let people do that, it's not easy to investigate the case." ”

Yeats smiled.

Last night, the house, except for the room where they slept, was turned upside down.

Although the movement of the forbidden army passing by was very light, Yeats disguised himself as a man, and a group of men and generals lay on the couch to sleep, but they always slept unsteadily, and often woke up at night.

In the middle of the night, she still heard the deliberately low voice outside.

Last night, for the King of Huaiyang, it was a dire situation, and it is estimated that he can't care about who killed his daughter at this moment.

Wait another hour, whether it is Elder Pei or King Huaiyang, if they don't come, she will lead everyone back to Dali Temple.

While waiting, Yeats squinted and went through the murder of the county lord of Qinfang from beginning to end.

A favored and wealthy noblewoman, no matter how she travels, even if she sleeps, there are groups of slaves, and it is not easy to find an opportunity to kill her.

Was the person who killed her inside or outside?

If it's internal, is it a suppressed concubine or a certain girl-in-law? Yeats felt that this was unlikely, Qin Fang was extravagant and chaotic, but she was not incompetent, on the contrary, she was a noble lady who lived a chic and methodical life, and it was impossible to let threatening people be around.

What if it's external?

Who will be most dissatisfied with extravagance? Don't say it, of course it's the current colt, but if this guy can marry Qin Fang, they must know what kind of goods the other party is, and when they get married, they are married.

After marriage, each plays its own and does not interfere with each other.

But it is inevitable that there will be no dirtiness between husband and wife, maybe one will rise, and Ma Zhongdong will have murderous thoughts, and this possibility will give three layers.

On the day he signed the lease with the landlord, Yeats listened to a lot of gossip about the county lord of Qinfang, although the rumors in the market were exaggerated, but as long as the rumors in the market were picked up and the false elements were removed, its authenticity was even more reliable than the information obtained by Teng Chong's chat.

Yeats pulled out the things that had been deified by the common people and discovered the essence of the leisurely and happy nature of the county lord of Qinfang: lending usury to noble ladies and letting them participate in various disguised gambling in the capital, and before they knew it, the money in the pockets of these noblewomen flew into the pockets of the county lord of Qinfang.

These disguised gambling include, but are not limited to: sumo wrestling, drama competition for the first card, triennial guessing of the top three in the imperial examination, a certain playboy getting the lost lady within the specified time and abandoning it, etc., everything that has fun can be turned into a gambling head.

Many middle- and lower-class officials who are ignorant of the world, or who can't figure out how to squeeze into the upper circles, are ruined by these powerful people.

The bankrupt official takes revenge, such a motive for committing the crime is proper, and this article is also given to the third layer.

The other three layers of Yeats were given to the hypothetical 'Chen Shimei', and after looking at the three generations of the Shen family's direct lineage, she originally only suspected that Shen Wenyan was Chen Shimei, but now she was sure that he was Chen Shimei.

When Pei Jingning sat in front of Yeats to analyze the case with him, he pointed to Shen Wenyan's clean resume and asked, "It says that he is unmarried, why do you think he has been married in his hometown?" ”
