Chapter 638: A Thousand Clues
Cai said proudly.
At the end, I remembered to ask about the matter. "My lord, why did you suddenly remember to come to the house of a woman? Did Yingying do something wrong?
Di Ying: "......"
He looked at Cai's gentle and kind smile, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Cai's heart pounded violently after seeing that his face was a little embarrassed. Master Di is famous for judging cases, and he suddenly came to his house early in the morning and asked about Yingying, the only thing that was not at home......
Cai's hand covered his heart, and his face instantly turned white.
The rest of the Cai family also thought of that possibility...... All of a sudden, my legs were weak.
Seeing this, Di Ying hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, don't think about it." I just saw that the robe sewn by Mrs. Ke was very good-looking and fitting, and I was just going to Jane's house to ask about something, so I came to see if Mrs. Ke's family needed anything. ”
The Cai family let out a long breath in unison.
It really scared the hell out of them.
And the smile returned to Cai's face.
Hearing Master Di boast of his little daughter-in-law Ke Yingying's craftsmanship, his face was honored.
Di Ying took advantage of the situation to ask Ke Yingying about some things.
Cai's babbling and especially willing to say it said some things he knew about Ke Yingying.
As he spoke, he also thought of an incident from the past year.
"At the end of August last year, Yingying came home once, and her face was not very good. At that time, she had only entered the government office and worked for a short time. Originally, she was able to pass the assessment of the government and have the opportunity to go in and do things, and our family is very proud of her.
But it didn't take long, about half a month, and when she came back, she said: I don't want to go again.
I asked her what was wrong? What she said was that Lord Changshi was inexplicably very inexplicable, the uniform of a big official like that was originally issued by the imperial court or made by the female dependents of his family herself, how could she be asked to do it?
He also picked the fat and thin, and asked her to work in the yamen at night.
Yingying didn't want to, after all, she was a young woman, she was still handsome, what was the matter if she didn't go home at night and spent the night in a place where men were all piled up in the yamen?
It's not easy to say, is it? Even if my son is generous, what will others think?
Yingying didn't want to go, but she couldn't bear to do that decent and light job that could help the family a lot, so she was very entangled.
In the end, it was my son who coaxed her, and she continued.
It's just that since then, she has also avoided Lord Changshi.
Anyway, their work can be taken home to do, and my youngest son will accompany her to the office, and then wait for her at the door, and when she takes the work out, the two of them will go home together. ”
At this time, Di Ying saw something behind Cai's body, revealing a corner of blue-gray clothing.
He pointed there and asked, "What's that?" ”
Hearing this, Cai turned around, revealing a sewing basket on a small bench behind him.
She picked it up in her hand, turned it around again, and took the small piece of clothing and explained: "This is the bookkeeper in the palace, who asked Yingying to embroider some willow branches and make a supplement for his robe.
Yesterday, Yingying only took this job, after all, she can't help but refuse, right? So she brought it back and asked the women to help embroider it, while she concentrated on making the robe that she had sewn for you.
She couldn't wait for dawn to get sewn up last night, and she couldn't wait to go into the city to deliver it to you.
She said that if she went late, she was afraid that she would not be able to find your person again.
My youngest son wanted to send her here, but she didn't let her, saying that she would go and come back quickly. I didn't alarm my family, so I went out. I wonder if you received your robe? ”
As soon as he finished asking, he smiled annoyedly and said, "Look at me, I'm really old, this memory is poor." You've praised her for her skills. ”
Di Ying did her best to keep the smile on her face. Then he exchanged a few words of greeting and got up to say goodbye.
As for the accountant mentioned by Cai, he was a new accountant three years ago, following the death of Shentu Siyuan.
It was originally a position hired by the government itself.
There are many kinds of accounts that come in and out of the government every day, and they cannot be delayed for a day. will not wait for the whereabouts of Shentu Siyuan to be found before carrying out corresponding official duties.
After walking out of Cai's house, Di Ying covered her face vigorously, and also pressed her anger hard.
He whispered to Liu Liudao: "Go back to the city quickly, and find out who recommended the person who took over the position of Shentu Siyuan's accountant." By the way, check the new account, and the alibi certificate during the time period of these three cases. ”
Someone recommended that Lu Kairui meet with the other party, assess it, and then sign the employment contract. Here's the process.
Liu Liu jumped on the horse and ran away.
Di Ying asked Shi Shi to take the two brothers of the Jian family with him, and then walked slowly by himself, deducing quickly in his mind.
And the clouds slid after his master.
After the master finally climbed on his horse, the dark clouds went back to the state government in a puff of smoke.
Di Ying rushed back and summoned all the officials in the past three years and questioned them in detail one by one.
Fang Bin had already found the Yacha C who handled Yu Wenyao's case in advance.
It was when he heard someone say: He had seen the two brothers of the Jian family at the mouth of the alley, so he took the other three yacha to the village to arrest them.
It's just that Fang Bin couldn't ask for any decent results.
What Yacha C said: "At that time, when we rushed to that small alley and did not see Yu Wenyao's body, we questioned the nearby pedestrians, people in the shop, and so on.
A passer-by shouted, 'I saw Jian Qi and Jian Xiang passing by here before.' ’
He shouted very loudly, a very sharp, duck-like voice.
When we looked over, we saw no one.
At that time, I didn't have time to think about it, after all, the two brothers of the Jian family passed by the neighborhood when they first applied for Lord Tu's case, and our first thought was: those two people were suspicious, so they ran to arrest them. ”
When Fang Bin asked the soldiers who were guarding the south gate at night, he asked about the only person who went out of the city after the two brothers of the Jian family and returned to the city after Uncle Jian reported the case.
But......
The soldiers' reply was, "I don't see what the man looks like." He seemed to be sick, and when he went out and came in, he was hunched over, and he kept coughing with a cloth covering his mouth and nose.
When the brothers saw that he was coughing badly, they didn't dare to get too close to him, so they asked him to show his identity papers.
He lit up, and we just glanced at it casually.
He was dressed in rags, and he looked very thin, and he couldn't be a bad person, so he asked him what he was doing out of the city.
He said he would go into the mountains to collect herbs to heal his illness, and we let him out.
When the man returned, his cough seemed to have improved a little, and the small basket in his hand was full of herbs that he didn't know what to call. But his voice is a bit like a duck's voice, a little bit high-pitched. ”
