Chapter 58: Investigating the Case Together

The woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a bit of Wu accent in her official dialect, saying that she was going back to Nandi after the New Year to choose the four treasures of the study room for her uncle and brother. Because she was a big customer, Wang Quan took her to the second floor. ”

Female dependents?

The person who gave Chu Liangchen the ingot of gold was also a woman.

After Wang Quan received the letter from someone secretly, he would put it in a secret compartment behind a Guanyin statue on the second floor. There are two rooms on the second floor. One is a storeroom, and a screen separates a private room where guests are waiting. ”

"The rest is where Wang Quan occasionally rests, and the statue of Guanyin is here."

"I checked the booklet in the store, and the woman was asking for something strange and messy. It takes a lot of time for the shopkeeper to go to the treasury to find it. If she came prepared, she would have had every chance to peek at the letter that Chen Shenji handed over to Wang Quan. ”

Gu Shiwei frowned when he heard this, "There is only Wang Quan in the store, he is dead, how do you know that this big customer is a woman." ”

"In addition to buying pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she also did special things next to Der Spiegel Lane, so she was remembered?"

Han Shiyan gave Gu Shiwei an appreciative look, "That's right, she also went to buy a lot of rouge gouache that was fashionable in Bianjing City." The rouge gouache shop is opposite the four treasures shop in the study, and you can still see it when you stand in the store. ”

"Because I bought more, I was remembered. Not only that, she inquired about some things about Wang Quan under the pretext of buying pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. ”

"Arrogant, isn't it? She seemed to be sure that the government would not be able to find her, and she did not hide it too much. ”

Gu Shiwei listened and raised his eyebrows, "Of course you can be arrogant." Dare to ask Han Yushi, do you know how many boudoir ladies there are in this Bianjing City, and what are their surnames? Wearing a hood, who can see what she looks like? ”

Han Shiyan was dumbfounded.

That's not the problem.

"They are hidden in the boudoir, and they can be a weak lady who walks three steps and spits out a mouthful of blood during the day, and at night she picks up a sword and kills all directions! Behold? ”

"That person is your unmarried wife, and all you know may be her family name and birthday."

In this case, this clue equals no clue.

Gu Shiwei ate three strings in a row, and she was a little tired, she put down the skewer and shook her head at Han Shiyan.

"Moreover, it can only be said that the woman had the opportunity to peek at the letter, but it does not prove that she peeked at it."

"If I knew in advance where Wang Quan placed the letter on weekdays, a person like me could easily go in and read it eight hundred times while it was dark. Not only that, but I could even do a whirlwind dance in that room! ”

Gu Shiwei said and paused, "Of course, I don't know how to dance the Hu Xuan Dance." You can understand it as a monkey jumping up to pick chestnuts! ”

Han Shiyan was silent again, he silently turned off the fire a little, and put the pot that burned sugar on the ground on the side.

I always felt that the chestnuts were not so delicious all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Gu Shiwei immediately stretched out his hand and roasted it on the fire.

Because of her long-term sword practice, she has a lot of calluses on her hands, and she doesn't look as good-looking as an ordinary little girl.

Not only that, but when her wrist flew, she could vaguely see the scars on her arms.

Han Shiyan looked at it, his eyes flashed, these injuries should have been left by Gu Shiwei when he was besieged and killed on a mass grave three years ago.

"Chu Liangchen's matter, you can see it clearly when you look at the file in a while. How much do you know about the disappearance of Guanyin in the canal in the twenty-sixth year of Shenghe? ”

Han Shiyan withdrew his gaze from Gu Shiwei's hand, and he frowned.

"Sheng He's twenty-sixth year official silver disappearance?"

Han Shiyan suddenly reined in his thoughts, he shook his head, "To be precise, there is no case of the disappearance of official silver at all. In the twenty-sixth year of Shenghe, it was true that two large ships transporting tax silver collided in the river and finally sank into the canal. ”

"But this was not dealt with as a case, because the silver was not stolen by thieves, but by accident."

"The official silver did not disappear, but sank to the bottom of the river. At that time, the imperial court sent people to salvage underwater, although they did not pick up the silver coins, but some people saw the cages containing silver coins at the bottom of the river. ”

"Yushitai has basically done nothing in this matter. Because there is no need for impeachment, the imperial court will naturally treat those people unfavorably. ”

"There were two people in charge of escorting the tax silver, and I can't remember their names, but they both died in the shipwreck. The ships that carried the tax silver were large, and because of the heavy weight of the silver, the draft was very deep. ”

"When the two boats sink together, it will bring up a huge whirlpool, and the people on the boat will swim and escape, but many people will be swept into the whirlpool. As a result, there were heavy casualties, but it was not without people who escaped death. ”

He spoke, paused, and spoke again.

"Before you ask, this is how the court treats this batch of tax silver, it is different from the case of breaking weapons."

The whereabouts of the weapons in the case are still unknown, and the tax and silver are still sleeping at the bottom of the canal in the hearts of the officials!

"Of course, since you asked like this, it means that this batch of tax silver has another hidden meaning."

Gu Shiwei gave Han Shiyan a thumbs up, it was really much easier to talk to smart people!

Unlike Wu Jiang and Jing Li, it is simply playing the piano to the cow.

Or play the piano to two cows!

Han Shiyan observed Gu Shiwei's expression, and seeing that she was quite peaceful, he couldn't help but say, "Gu Shiwei, let me investigate the case with you, right?" ”

He always felt that he had eaten too many chestnuts and sugar tonight, which made his whole body think more.

This is about a panic when you are full!

I have to hit a wall here again and again!

"Aren't we investigating the case together now?"

As she spoke, listening to the sound of clanging footsteps not far away, she thought that Chu Liangchen should be almost there, and Wu Jiang was free to come over.

Thinking about it, she made a shushing gesture to Han Shiyan, jumped lightly, and went to the roof.

As soon as Gu Shiwei left, Wu Jiang rushed in, he looked around, saw the small stool opposite Han Shiyan, and a few bamboo sticks in different directions, and exclaimed.

"Where did the Gu family go? I also said I would invite her to eat meat and drink wine! If it weren't for her, I would have been beaten by my uncle in Kaifeng Mansion here! That Chu Liangchen, Chu Liangchen recruited everything! ”

Han Shiyan was still thinking about Gu Shiwei's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Hearing Wu Jiang's whistling voice again, he couldn't help but scold, "Didn't you go back to Bianjing and leave your mind at the border!" What the hell...... It's like a monkey jumping up and down to pick chestnuts! ”

Wu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and sat on the stool, "What monkey?" Monkeys can also pick chestnuts, where did you learn that? ”

"How many years have we known each other, haven't I always been like this? Where there are brains! ”
