Chapter 90: The Birthday Banquet
General Yipin thought that he would get a satisfactory answer by saying this, who would have thought that Tang Jianqiu's answer would surprise him.
"Please also forgive me, this is the practice of the Beizhen Fu Division to investigate the case, and this Zhenfu really can't say it."
Even though the general had already said all the good and bad things, Tang Jianqiu was still unmoved.
It's not because he's cold, he's doing things by the rules.
The general was instantly furious, how could he bear such a statement? immediately got up from his seat and pointed at Tang Jianqiu is scolding:
"You erector? If there is no explanation for this matter, General Ben will not go back, Tang Jianqiu, you have to say it today! ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was so tense, Ah Fei, who was good friends with Tang Jianqiu, hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and accompanied him with a smiling face by the way.
"Since the Beizhen Fusi has taken over the case, according to the regulations of the imperial court, there is also a time limit for investigating and solving the case, and now the case has only happened for a few days, and it is normal for the case to make no progress, and I hope the general can ...... it."
However, before Ah Fei could finish speaking, General Yipin showed impatience.
He interrupted it angrily and said bluntly, "What are you here?" Dare to argue with me!
You are just a small Congliupin, at best a small sesame official, and you can't speak in front of my general! ”
Such words undoubtedly knocked Ah Fei to the bottom, Ah Fei's face was so red that he couldn't speak, how could Tang Jianqiu tolerate it? He immediately stepped forward to refute it.
"The general's words are wrong, although Ah Fei is a Jinyi guard from the sixth grade, his merits are not less than a thousand households, so this Zhenfu will never allow anyone to dictate to him and scold him at every turn.
What's more, now he is in Beizhen Fusi, and Ah Fei is a capable general in this town, and the general may not be appropriate this time. ”
The general showed disdain, he scoffed at it, and looked down on it.
"He's just a small brocade guard, and now he's only from the sixth grade, is it possible that I, the first-grade general, can't I be polite to him?"
The general's words were conclusive, Tang Jianqiu was fearless, but he just kept his normal heart, "The general is too worried, this is the Beizhen Fusi, and the general is here to suffer from the suffering, not the official affairs of the court,
What's wrong with Ah Fei assisting Ben Zhenfu in handling the case? The general is too hasty, no matter what, Ah Fei is also my favorite general, if the general jokes again, don't blame this town for being ruthless! ”
The general is already angry, how can he tolerate such grievances as a military general?
"What a little from the fourth grade, dare to make a mistake with General Ben! Tang Jianqiu, since you have the ability to shout with General Ben, then General Ben is too lazy to entangle with you, and General Ben will ask the emperor for an explanation! ”
The general left angrily, and Ah Fei was ashamed and worried, "Ah Fei thanked Lord Tang for his righteous action, but he offended the general, I'm afraid it's ......."
Speaking of this, Ah Fei didn't continue to speak, I believe that Tang Jianqiu can understand the following words without him saying it.
Tang Jianqiu disagreed, he said expressionlessly: "Since the general is disrespectful, he should stand up and defend it, not to mention that he is not derelict in his duties after taking over this case.
Even if he really sues the emperor or even makes a big fuss in front of the emperor because of this, he is fearless, but no matter who the victim is, it is necessary to solve this case as soon as possible! ”
However, things were really as Tang Jianqiu expected, and he received an edict from the emperor early the next morning, requiring Tang Jianqiu to solve the case within seven days, and Tang Jianqiu also felt a headache about it.
Now there is no progress in the case, even if someone has been sent to investigate, but who would have thought that it would be fruitless.
Now he can't be sure how much time it will take to crack this case, so he can only deal with it as soon as possible.
However, now I can only rely on human evidence to confirm that the suspect in my possession is very likely to be Su Jing, the son of the first assistant (Xiangye) in the Su Mansion!
Now he is also powerless, but fortunately, there is no real evidence to prove that the murderer is Su Jing, and only by finding real evidence can he make comparisons from it.
Until the start of Master Su's birthday banquet, the whole case was newly solved.
To say that this birthday banquet is very lively, people are constantly in a stream.
At this dinner table, family members and friends are full of laughter, laughter and ears, peach blossom fire is happy to meet, birthday banquet is endless, toast to congratulate the long day, spring to step on the green song tree mountain.
"Uncle Su, I am willing to dedicate Nanshan Shou and be rich in the year."
Out of courtesy, Tang Jianqiu gave Su Siqing a big gift, and gave a celebrity painting to show his sincerity.
Su Siqing smiled as a result, he was very happy, hurriedly greeted him, and invited Tang Jianqiu to take a seat.
Tang Jianqiu accepted it humbly, and he was not polite to the Su family.
Since ancient times, the south has been respected, if it is indoors, it is respected to the east, it is said that the higher the front, the higher the status, and now he deliberately arranged Tang Jianqiu at the second table, which can be seen how much attention he attaches to Tang Jianqiu.
And the first table is for the elders who are highly respected, and the second table is reserved for those who have a high status and are good friends with the Su family, and there are many young people among them.
Su Jing sat on the top seat, and her wife naturally had the right to accompany her, but now Tang Jianqiu was deliberately arranged on Su Jing's left side, which can be regarded as sitting as respect.
"Husband, I'm late."
The woman in front of her is a great beauty in the capital, her black hair is half pulled, hanging in the air like a waterfall, her face is like powder, and under the eyebrows is a pair of eyes that hook the soul, as if she came out of the painting, absolutely beautiful.
Even if she is wearing a floor-mopping pink smoke gauze skirt, it is difficult to resist the delicate body.
The person who came was Su Jing's wife Lin Qingshi, she smiled, just as the so-called Dai Mei opened delicate and far-reaching Xiu, and the green temples were mellow and dyed with spring smoke, she was talking about this poet-like woman, right?
Lin Qingshi owed, holding Luo Cui's soft yarn in her hand, and the hairpin on her head was shining in the baptism of the sun.
"Why should a lady be polite? Hurry up, please! ”
Su Jing was flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward to lift her up and help her sit down.
"Uncle is here too?"
She noticed the taciturn Tang Jianqiu, who didn't talk much on weekdays, but now she was a little surprised to see someone coming.
"Sister-in-law."
Seeing this, Tang Jianqiu hugged his fists and bowed, and Lin Qingshi just nodded when he saw this.
The person sitting next to Tang Jianqiu was Ma Hongfei, the son of Su Siqing's mentor, and sitting next to Ma Hongfei was Su Jing's cousin Zheng Wenli.
"Uncle Wanfu, has the government been very busy lately?"
The relationship between the two is okay, although it is rare, Lin Qingshi still asked.
"Sister-in-law Xie, Beizhen Fusi has indeed taken over a rather difficult case recently."
Tang Jianqiu could only take this way, and it was difficult to say the real purpose of coming this time.
A few people exchanged a few simple greetings, and Zheng Wenli couldn't help but praise Lin Qingshi when he saw that she was so beautiful: "Sister-in-law looks so beautiful!" Cousin Su Jing, you are blessed! ”
"Hahaha, how did Cousin Wenli make a joke about me? Anyway, doesn't my cousin have a good wife in his family? Why didn't you see it? ”
"She is used to being a female celebrity on weekdays, and she always likes to do some needlework, I persuaded her to come and she refused, but I heard that a few days ago, Lord Tang won a beautiful woman in a martial arts competition, and let us meet another day."
As soon as the words turned, all the people at the table turned their eyes on Tang Jianqiu, Tang Jianqiu was at a loss for a while, but he still said truthfully:
"I do have a marriage contract with the Shen family, but it has not been decided yet, not to mention that today is Master Su's birthday, how can I disturb it? Let's talk about that another day. ”
Tang Jianqiu's hand clutched the wine glass a little tighter, because he knew what the real purpose of participating in the birthday banquet was, and now was the time to find a good time.
Su Jing glanced at Tang Jianqiu, patted him on the back fiercely, and then teased: "He just doesn't want his wife to show his face, so as not to let people look at him." ”
Everyone suddenly realized and looked up to the sky and smiled.
"Oh~ It turned out to be Kanaya Zangjiao, hahahaha!"
Tang Jianqiu tried his best to suppress the truest emotions in his heart, and changed his words: "Su Jing, today is Master Su's birthday banquet, don't force me to do it." ”
"Jianqiu, just our friendship...... Not really, right? ”
Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu raised his glass and poured wine, and after filling Su Jing's cup, he sent it to him.
"Eighteen bowls, I can't finish drinking and want to leave."
Hearing this, Su Jing immediately shook his head and refused, waved his hand and said no: "Eighteen bowls? You and I are Wu Song alive! No, no, no, you can't drink, besides, your sister-in-law will blame. ”
Lin Qingshi hid her face and smiled, "Husband, if you eat wine and food, how can Qingshi blame you?" ”
Such words undoubtedly gave Su Jing a bolt from the blue, but he had seen a cheating father on weekdays, but he had never heard of his own wife cheating on his father.
After thinking about it again and again, he came up with a brilliant idea, "It doesn't matter to me, I'm just afraid that Jian Qiu will drink too much so as not to delay the affairs of this mansion, then won't I be a sinner for thousands of years?" ”
"Brother Su wants to make fun of it, just a few glasses of wine, it won't bother me, not to mention that the person who drinks is you, not me."
"You're really here, let's go, I've written down this hatred, be careful on your wedding day, master, I can't find a wedding room if you let you drink! See if you're in a hurry! ”
Hearing this, the corners of Tang Jianqiu's mouth rose, and then he added another bowl, "Okay, let me see how much you can drink first." ”
"Wait! By the way, let me take a look at my alcohol consumption today! ”
After the birthday banquet was over, it was already evening, and the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a few family members cleaning, but Su Jing was a little drunk, and he walked upside down, so that his vision was not very clear.
"Let my uncle smile, I'll help him back."
As she was speaking, Lin Qingshi was about to support Su Jing, but Su Jing stumbled towards Tang Jianqiu, raised the overflowing wine glass and said, "Come on...... Dry! If we don't get drunk, we won't go home! ”
"You're too drunk, so let's go back and rest first." Tang Jianqiu refused, how could Su Jing agree?
"Who, who is drunk? That's not all, it's just the beginning! Su Jing patted his chest as he spoke, emphasizing that he had a good amount of alcohol, but Tang Jianqiu just shook his head helplessly.
"Rest, sister-in-law is tired."
Tang Jianqiu picked up the embroidered spring knife standing next to the chair, and then walked out of the courtyard.
At this moment, Zheng Wenli came to the door, and saw that Su Jing, who was delirious, felt a little distressed, and then stepped forward and asked, "Cousin Su Jing, why are you drunk like this?" I've only been out for a while, and I'm looking for you. ”
"What, what?"
Su Jing burped with satisfaction, and Zheng Wenli couldn't hide it, so he simply said truthfully: "I want to borrow something from you, I don't know if Cousin Su Jing is willing to agree?" ”
"It's just a trivial matter, you can take it at will, catkins, show the way for the young master of the table, he can give him whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't move those sealed valuables."
"Yes, Young Master Cousin, please."
