Chapter 142: Seeing Words Like Meeting

"Lang Jun, something happened!"

Jiang Cheng ran from the shop to the backyard in a panic and went straight to the back hall.

"Outside, there was a fight outside, and Gorou and Kyozhao Mansion Hachipinkura Cao were fighting......"

The two of them were sitting together in the hall talking about the printing of books, and Xue Bai asked, "Since the fight has started, will Gorou suffer a loss?" ”

"This ......"

Jiang Cheng didn't know how to answer, fighting with officials was a big crime, not a question of whether to suffer or not.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xue Bai got up and said, "I'll go over and take a look." ”

I walked to the back door of the shop, turned the wall, and could see Du Wulang standing on the counter and screaming.

"I saw it all, Yuan Lian did it first, and he testified to me when he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion...... Fight back, beat him! ”

"Don't worry about beating him, I'll take care of it if something happens, I've been in Jingzhao Mansion Prison twice......"

Da Xi Yingying came to talk about things today, and just arrived outside the gate, she directly ordered her entourage to help Du Wulang.

In this case, Xue Bai did not plan to come forward, so as not to cause trouble, and the teacher was unhappy.

"It's okay, let's continue to do things, Mr. Jiang should put some medicine on his face?"

"Little Lao'er doesn't care, but this ...... Yuan Shu is the son-in-law of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"Yes."

Du Cheng heard it funny, glanced at Xue Bai, and said that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion also wanted him to be his son-in-law, but he didn't want to be it.

She's still busy, and since she left the back door, she went to buy a workshop elsewhere.

Although Jiang Cheng knew that Xue Bai was not an ordinary person, he had no specific understanding of the background of this master's family, so he was inevitably uneasy at this time, and asked, "Lang Jun, did you let people stop?" ”

"There's no hurry."

After a while, the attendants of the nursing home had knocked Yuan Lian and several people to the ground, and farther away, people from the East City Bureau were coming.

Xue Bai suddenly thought of something else, changed his mind, and strode forward.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly followed, and said in his heart that Lang Jun could come forward to calm the situation.

Yuan Shu was not injured when he fell to the ground, and those subordinates were measured, and they tripped him and stopped him, and when he looked up again, he was taken aback.

"Xue Bai?"

Yuan Lian recognized Xue Bai, and Shangyuan Festival met as a brother-in-law in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Then, the little fat man is the slightly famous Du Wulang in Chang'an.

"Ha, Xue Bai, if I had said that this was your property, I wouldn't have touched it." Yuan Shu shouted: "This matter is over here, that's it." ”

Jiang Cheng saw that the main family was really extraordinary, and his uneasy heart finally let go.

The next moment, his eyes widened.

I saw Xue Bai walking in front of Yuan Tuo, raising his foot and kicking it.

"Ahh You ......"

Xue Bai kicked very hard, kicked over a few times, and Yuan Bai screamed in pain.

"Stop! What are you doing? Dare to beat up the court officials? Take them all and take them away! ”

The officials of the East City Bureau rushed to the scene and hurriedly stopped.

Jiang Cheng's heart that he had just put down hung up again, and he was escorted to the East City Bureau in a panic.

He was the first to be interrogated.

……

"Selling yourself as a servant? Old Jiang Tou, you have been in Dongshi longer than my grandfather, tell me honestly, which way of the gods did you sell yourself to, and even the son-in-law of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion dared to fight? ”

Jiang Cheng put his hands in his sleeves again, buried his head very low, and said: "Acting Cheng, when the contemptible person made the deed, the name of the main family was not Xue Langjun. It is not clear who it is. ”

"I don't know? Old confused, huh? You think you've lived too long, right?! ”

Jiang Cheng didn't dare to answer, looked up, and saw a small official walking around to Dongshi Cheng's side.

"Agency, find out, the old ginger head was sold to Mrs. Qiu's mansion, and the bookstore is now also Mrs. Qiu's property."

"Ahh

Jiang Cheng saw Dongshi stand up suddenly, and shrank in fright, but the next moment, his hands were enthusiastically pulled by the other party.

"Old Jiang, my family has been friends with you for more than 30 years, how can you throw such a problem to me? Why don't you have a drink together? Tell me what I should do about it......"

~~

Du Wulang looked at the class room he was in, this was just a place to take care of them temporarily.

He glanced behind him and said, "There's a prison in there?" ”

"Dongshi Prison is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion."

Du Wulang had a lot to say in this regard, saying: "I didn't know about this place before, and I thought there were only four prisons in Chang'an. ”

"Who said that? There are 26 large and small official prisons in Chang'an City. ”

"Twenty-six? How many of them? ”

It was the first time for Da Xi Yingying to go to the class room, and she looked around curiously, and when the official finished chatting with Du Wulang and walked out, she couldn't help but ask Xue Bai: "I don't know why Lang Jun has to kick the son-in-law of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

She asked a question that Xue Bai didn't want to answer, so he closed his eyes and ignored it.

Da Xi Yingying had no choice but to look at Du Wulang.

Du Wulang knew, but he couldn't say it, his face flushed, and he didn't know what to do.

He thought to himself, what else could Xue Bai do? It's just that he has to commit more small things, so that he doesn't look like a big person.

Those who sit in the class room of the East City Bureau and those who are locked up in the North Ya Prison do not look like the same kind of people.

~~

North Prison.

A young man in a cyan official robe handed over his paperwork and said, "Jingzhao Mansion Facao Luqi was ordered to investigate the murder case of the post house on the outskirts of Chang'an, and I want to ask the imprisoned Jifang children a few words. ”

"Retreat! This is the North Prison, which is not an ordinary official office. ”

Lu Qi smiled, quietly handed over a small silver collar, and said, "General, please see, I have documents from Taiwan Province, and it is indeed important for official business." ”

"The witnesses here are involved in the murder case of Dao Zhengfang, what does it have to do with the murder case of the suburban post house?"

"I've found a connection between the two cases and want to confirm it." Lu Qi said: "By the way, the ancestor of the family is the prime minister of the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the uncle of Yuyang County, and the father of the family is the official of the military department. ”

"Alright, Lufacao please."

Lu Qi bowed again, and walked into the Beiya Prison until he was in the cell where the children of the chicken workshop were held.

Four of the six chicken boys had died that night, and only two were locked up here, also looking half-dead.

Lu Qi beckoned them to the fence and said, "I am in charge of this case and can save your lives, as long as you tell me the truth." Are you being bought? ”

"Buy?"

Seeing that they were confused, Lu Qi said: "Your companion who stabbed the Hu people in the Western Regions is called Liu Yun, right, I have found out that he got a large sum of money that night and hid it in the chicken workshop, don't you say that he has anything abnormal?" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes, it's Liu Yun, I remember, at that time, we had all put the fighting back to the chicken workshop, and Liu Yun had to go to Qingmen to drink......

Lu Qi asked, "Can you think of who bought Liu Yun?" You can only live when you think about it. ”

"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was always with us before the cockfight, and he was only called away once before nightfall, he seems to owe gambling debts, right? Did the Chicken Boy call him away? That's right, it's the god chicken boy. ”

"Are you sure it's Jia Chang? Did you see that? ”

"At that time, what I shouted was 'Liu Yun, the god chicken boy let you pass'."

A slight light flashed in Lu Qi's eyes, and he asked, "Shangzhu Country Zhang's daughter, Aunt Zhang, do you know each other?" ”

"Mrs. Zhang, she often gambles with the god chicken boy."

"Did you see her that night at the chicken house?"

"This ......"

The cockfighting children hesitated, nodded tentatively, and then said firmly: "Yes, I saw her!" ”

Lu Qi was satisfied, this matter is not difficult for him to speculate, and today can be regarded as "confirming" this speculation.

Leaving the North Ya Prison, he drove his horse back to Jingzhao Mansion, and the officials in the government office saluted when they saw him.

"Lufacho."

"Yuanhu Cao Ke?"

"Hu Cao left in the morning, and it seems that he has taken people to the East City to collect taxes."

Lu Qi actually wanted to ask Yuan Lian about some things related to the case, both of them worked in Jingzhao Liucao at a young age, and they had a very good relationship.

Walking through the corridor, he met Pei Zhen, the Cangcao of Jingzhao Mansion, that is, the son of Pei Kuan.

"Ziliang." Pei Zhen nodded.

"Brother Shiming." Lu Qi stopped and suddenly asked, "Brother Shiming and Zhang Liangdi's eldest sister can know each other?" ”

Pei Zhen was slightly stunned and shook his head.

Lu Qi was surprised and laughed at himself: "I misunderstood." By the way, everyone in Chang'an now sings "Water Tune Song Head", and Brother Shiming always knows Xue Ciren, right? ”

"There is indeed a relationship, Xue Lang is talented, and I also admire it."

Lu Qi smiled, and pulled Pei Zhen to the public house to talk in detail, talking about Xue Baiming's deeds in Chang'an, and gradually, talking about the boulder cannon.

"There is such an all-rounder in the world, and he can also make weapons, I don't know if General Wang has captured Shibao City now?"

"Yes, I hope my Datang can win another battle." Pei Zhen's face did not change in the slightest.

Lu Qi said a few more words, and when he saw that he couldn't find anything, he said goodbye to Pei Zhen and went to find Jingzhao Yin Xiaojiong.

~~

"If Xue Bai drove Wang Zhonghe's old soldiers to kill Pei Mian and the Hui people, and Zhang Liangdi made people frame An Lushan, then all the pros and cons make sense."

"But it's just that the pros and cons have been clarified, and there is no evidence."

Xiao Jiong thought to himself, the previous Fa Cao Jiwen did the same, sketching the context of the matter in his mind, and directly tortured people, but this case was different.

"Ziliang, you are talented and intelligent, but you can't learn from Jiwen when handling cases." Xiao Jiong said: "Without evidence, no one would believe that a young man can do such a big thing, not to mention that he is still the righteous brother of the concubine." ”

"Yes." Lu Qi said: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that someone was so cunning at a young age. But he was too cunning to escape. We can guess that it is him based on the pros and cons, and the saint can also guess, as long as the saint can be convinced, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of the right minister's command. ”

"How?"

"I have a solution." Lu Qi said: "But you still need to know more about Xue Bai." ”

"The Right Prime Minister's Mansion has ordered someone to check what Xue Bai has been doing recently......"

Speaking of which, there was movement in the courtyard.

"Kyung Yin, something happened!"

"What's the alarm?"

"Moto-cao fought with people in the East City, and he didn't dare to ...... without permission."

The next moment, someone hurried over and said, "Jing Yin, Xue Bai beat Yuan Hu Cao at the Chengxin Bookstore in the East City, and now both parties are in the East City Bureau." ”

"What?" Xiao Jiong looked surprised.

"Huh?"

Lu Qi couldn't help but smile.

He recently investigated a major murder case, and he had sketched an image of Xue Bai in the city in his mind, but he didn't notice that this image instantly became empty at this time.

"Ziliang, can you go to the East City Bureau with the old man and see Xue Bai?"

"No." Lu Qi crossed his hands and saluted, and said, "This fang is treacherous and cunning, it is not appropriate for him to find out that I have found him." ”

"But you want to know him?"

"The lower officials will figure it out."

Although Lu Qi didn't go to the East City Bureau to see Xue Bai, he changed into civilian clothes and went to the Chengxin Bookstore in the East City.

He pretended to be a student preparing for the spring exam and wanted to buy scriptures. In fact, he entered the government before he was twenty years old, and within five years he had sat in the position of Giwin.

"By the way, I heard that there is a Xue Lang in Chang'an, who is very famous, is there a collection of his poems here?"

"Xue Lang's poetry collection?"

"Yes, I'd like to buy one."

"That'...... The guest officer can leave an address, and if the store is published in the future, he will send it to the guest official's house. ”

"Okay, your bookstore is going to publish a book?"

Casually asking these questions, Lu Qi observed the bookstore, found nothing special for the time being, and turned to leave.

The next day, he went to the house of his people.

Lu Qi was born in the fourth room of the northern ancestor of the Lu family in Fanyang, and his grandfather was Lu Huaishen, the famous minister in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. And he visited the Lu family's Beizu house, after Lu Chengqing, the prime minister of the Gaozong Dynasty...... In fact, he didn't know him very well, but he heard that the Lu family had wanted to recruit Xue Bai as his son-in-law.

It's a pity that I didn't hear much useful anything on this trip.

It's just that Lu Qi felt very strange, why did Xue Bai firmly reject the Lu family and the Cui family? If the five surnamed women don't marry, who else do they want to marry?

Thinking about this, Lu Qi went to Guozijian again, and finally had a harvest.

~~

Prince Annex.

Zhang Ting was fiddling with the dominoes alone in the room, studying the skills in order to prepare for the next royal banquet to make the saint cards against his opponent.

But she looked at the table, but what she was thinking about was the situation in the East Palace.

Recently, Li Mi has angered her a little, and even made a statement to the prince again, thinking that it was inappropriate to frame An Lushan, and on the grounds that the situation in Hebei was important, he actually persuaded the prince to appease that miscellaneous hu.

"An Lushan openly ignored His Highness at the imperial banquet, if His Highness can take the initiative to release himself from him, back down and admit his mistakes to eliminate disputes, the saint will be relieved, and he will only think that His Highness is sensible and will not be suspicious......"

Probably these words, or the truth of "goodness is like water" and "it is better to be still than motionless", Li Heng and Zhang Ting complained, saying that Li Yu is extremely talented, that is, it is never only him who is considered as a prince.

The intention of the husband and wife cannot be taken by the East Palace at the moment, so they should take advantage of Wang Ji and Yang Zhao to help, and sit down on An Lushan's charges in one go, so that the saint can see the miscellaneous face.

Faintly, Zhang Ting still has a thought - in case the envoys of the two towns of Fanyang and Pinglu are replaced, the military power in the hands of Wang Zhonghe, the prince's righteous brother, may be enough to protect the prince's accession to the throne.

She knew that her thought was dangerous, and she felt weak and uneasy.

But she didn't dare to tell Li Heng about this, for fear that Li Heng would be suspicious of her in turn. She is too young to have a good confidant to refer to.

hateful being imprisoned in this prince's mansion made her subject to others from the beginning.

"Erniang."

Suddenly, he heard a soft call from outside the door, and Zhang Ting knew that he was a confidant and maid just by listening to the title.

"Come in and say, what's the matter?"

"The eldest lady gave a gift to the second mother......"

It was a small porcelain bottle, perhaps containing elixir, but the inside seemed to be empty, and there was no sound when it shook it, and the mouth of the bottle was very thin, and you couldn't see anything when you looked inside.

Zhang Ting asked his henchman to close the door, wrapped the porcelain vase in a muslin cloth, and smashed it.

Sure enough, there was a secret letter inside, and when you opened it, it was Xue Bai's handwriting.

Xue Bai is a disciple of Yan Zhenqing and has learned a beautiful eight-point regular script. Previously, Du Hong gradually investigated the fraud case of Guozijian, and specially mentioned this matter to the East Palace.

When Zhang Ting entered the palace to play cards, he had seen Xue Bai's story scroll many times, and he knew it as soon as he recognized it.

"In the corner of tomorrow, welcome the auspicious view."

With only these seven words, Zhang Ting felt a chill down his spine.

She suddenly realized that the Mid-Autumn Festival was not Xue Bai's words.

He said that on purpose, leading her to deal with Zahu. After that, Wang Ji and Yang Zhao attacked Zahu one after another, which was also his handiwork...... The boy was far more terrible than expected.

When we meet tomorrow, does he want to get rid of Zahu in one fell swoop?

Zhang Ting couldn't help but hesitate, thinking about whether he should tell Li Heng about this......

Sorry, it's too late today, and there is not enough time to spend every day~~ However, I still wrote more than 8500 words, which is still an extraordinary performance~~ I worked too hard, begging for a monthly pass, asking for a monthly pass~~
