Chapter 91: Wife and Concubine!
Chang'an, Dali Temple.
The old temple is Wang Qinyuan stepping on the early morning sun and entering the Dali Temple.
As soon as he entered, he saw that the officials of Dali Temple, who were originally busy, suddenly stopped, and then looked at him with complicated expressions.
They have been notified that Wang Qinyuan will officially leave Dali Temple in three days and return to his ancestral hometown to retire.
In other words, Wang Qinyuan only worked with them for the last three days.
Although Wang Qinyuan is a temple leader and has a high position in Dali Temple, he has a kind personality, does not fight with others, and has always been very good to his subordinates, so when he saw that Wang Qinyuan was leaving, everyone was very reluctant.
Wang Qinyuan's old face showed a kind smile: "Three days later, this official will invite all colleagues to a banquet in the mansion and have a farewell banquet. ”
When everyone heard this, they quickly nodded in response.
"Wang Si is reassuring, we will definitely go."
"We're going to go all over the world!"
Wang Qinyuan nodded with a smile, and then walked towards the office room with a slight lean.
Passing by Sicheng's office, he paused in his footsteps, looked inside, and immediately said to Han Keji and the others: "Why hasn't Lin Sicheng been here for the past few days?" Where did he go? Three days later, the official invited everyone to a banquet, can he rush back? ”
When Han Keji heard this, he hurriedly got up and said: "Wang Sizheng, don't wait for him, Xia Guan heard Xiao Siqing mention it, Xiao Gong said that he went to Suizhou to investigate the Suizhou headless corpse case that had been closed for several months, and it would take at least ten days to go back and forth on the road, calculate the time, unless he only stayed in Suizhou for one day, otherwise, it would be impossible to rush back." ”
Wang Qinyuan's face was a little disappointed, after all, Si Zheng had the most contact with Si Cheng, and in official business, he had always cooperated with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng couldn't rush back in time and couldn't see him for the last time, he was a little regretful after all.
And to re-investigate a case that has been closed for several months, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to complete the investigation in a day, and Lin Feng will never be able to come back.
He sighed, with some regret in his heart, thought about it, and couldn't help but say: "The case of the headless corpse in Suizhou is the murder of Gan Qing, right?" This case was more impressive, and it was also reviewed by the official, but the official did not find anything abnormal at that time, did Lin Sicheng find anything? Why re-investigate the case? ”
Han Keji also shook his head in confusion: "The lower official is not clear, and the lower official also has an impression of this case, and I also didn't find anything abnormal." ”
Wang Qinyuan frowned, Han Keji saw this, and said: "Wang Sizheng, you don't have to think too much, Lin Sicheng may feel that the file is not smooth, but it does not necessarily mean that there is really a problem with the case, even if he has a strong ability to judge the case, but he is also a human being, not a god, and he may not be able to judge everything accurately." ”
"How to say that this case was at that time, it was also reviewed many times by our Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and so many of us did not find any problems, which means that even if there is a problem, it may be a small problem, and it will not have much impact on the result."
Wang Qinyuan thought about it, but too, everyone can't be wrong, right?
At least in the general direction, there can be no mistakes, and as for the small problems that they ignore, it is not surprising that Lin Feng's ability can find them.
He sighed and shook his head, no longer entangled in this case, compared to the case itself, not being able to see his once valued subordinates on the last side made him feel even more uncomfortable.
He exhaled, with disappointment and regret in his tone, and said slowly: "That's it, if you can't come back, you can't come back......"
As he spoke, he turned around and walked out with a sigh, but at that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"Big news!"
A Sicheng rushed in from outside and said excitedly: "I just went to see Xiao Siqing, and I happened to hear a news, guess what I heard?" ”
Before everyone had time to cooperate with him to ask, he couldn't wait to say: "Lin Sicheng has sent back the news, you definitely don't know what he did in Suizhou!" You definitely don't know how wonderful his day was in Suizhou! You definitely don't know what kind of wonderful secret is hidden behind the Suizhou headless corpse case! Lin Sicheng has made another great contribution this time, and no one can stop him from being promoted! ”
Hearing the words of this temple, Wang Qinyuan paused, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Li Haomiao, the temple who rushed in, and said unexpectedly: "Lin Sicheng has news coming back?" And made a great contribution? ”
When Han Keji heard this, he was directly stunned, and he couldn't help but say, "How is it possible!?" Li Sicheng, did you hear it wrong? Even if the messenger was fast on the road and could receive the news today, it would be the second day after Lin Sicheng and them arrived in Suizhou. ”
"But how is this possible? It's only a day, how can he have any good news? Not to mention making great contributions! ”
"And what wonderful secrets can be hidden in such a case with conclusive evidence and a clear ending in the Suizhou headless corpse case? At most, it's just a few minor problems, right? ”
Wang Qinyuan also looked at Li Haomiao suspiciously.
"Minor questions?"
Li Haomiao is slightly fat, his eyes become two slits when he smiles, he is very outgoing, very good at dealing with people, he is the most well-informed person here, not only knows anything that happens in Dali Temple, but also what happens in other yamen, and can also know it as quickly as possible.
Hearing the news that Han Keji actually questioned himself at this moment, Li Haomiao frowned and said: "If Han Sicheng thinks that the murder of Gan Qing is actually not a case, but two murders, and the murderer has nothing to do with the deceased It is a small problem, then it can indeed be called a small problem. ”
"What?" Han Keji was stunned.
Wang Qinyuan also widened his old eyes.
Li Haomiao looked at Han Keji, who was stunned, sneered, and continued: "If Han Sicheng thinks that the thief behind Gan Qing's murder is actually not the businessman Sun Heqin, but Zhou Zheng, the assassin of Suizhou, and Zhou Zheng did all this to calculate that Cai Wengyi, the county commander of Chengping County, is also a small problem, then it can indeed be called a small problem. ”
Han Keji directly opened his mouth wide: "What did you say?" ”
Wang Qinyuan's expression was also extremely shocked, and his face was full of disbelief: "You said that the thief behind the Suizhou case is the assassin Shi Zhouzheng?" In order to calculate Cai Wengyi!? ”
The other temples also looked at Li Haomiao in shock.
Li Haomiao nodded heavily: "That's what I heard from Gong Xiao, although the lower officials don't know the specific situation yet, but the general result is definitely right." ”
He looked at Wang Qinyuan, looked at Han Keji, and said: "The Suizhou headless corpse case has not been a case from beginning to end, but a conspiracy set up by Zhou Zheng in order to calculate Cai Wengyi and turn two cases into one case!" ”
"All of us were actually deceived by Zhou Zheng before, and the dossier he submitted was simply the dossier after being covered, but none of us saw through his tricks, only Lin Sicheng saw through everything in less than a day, and caught Zhou Zheng, so that the truth could be revealed to the world."
As soon as Li Haomiao's voice fell, the entire office room was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
Han Keji was completely dumbfounded.
He had sworn before that even if Lin Feng found a problem, it would be a minor problem.
Can ...... now Can this be a minor issue?
Either way, it's enough to go to heaven!
Lin Feng actually discovered the most critical issue in the whole case, the real truth of the case, and their ............ They were wrong, all of them were wrong!
He couldn't help but say: "How did he do it, one day, just one day, how could he see through the truth that was so deeply hidden?" ”
The other temples were also shaken and speechless.
Rao is the temple is the king of Qinyuan, and his old eyes are also full of disbelief and endless surprises.
"Unexpectedly, the truth turned out to be like this, we are so wrong, if there is no Lin Temple...... Aren't we the equivalent of creating an unjust case with our own hands? ”
His voice was trembling, for him who was about to return to his hometown, if there was really such an unjust case, it would be tantamount to turning his life's efforts into nothing, and at the last moment of his life, he would suffer from inner torment.
Li Haomiao looked at Han Keji and said, "Han Sicheng, you can question the ability of this official to handle the case, but you must not question the ability of this official to find out the news is not enough!" When did the official inquire about the wrong news? Now you should know that what this official said is true, right? ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes instantly fell on Han Keji.
Seeing this, Han Keji's face suddenly turned red, he opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
Especially when he saw everyone looking at him with strange looks, his face became even more ugly.
In the end, I had to get up, hide my face and leave.
Li Haomiao pursed his lips and returned to his seat, he has a background, and he is not afraid of offending anyone.
The others, you look at me, I look at you, they can't help coughing, and they bow their heads again to deal with official business.
At this time, Wang Qinyuan, an old man with a pale face, suddenly said: "So...... Lin Sicheng really decided the case in one day, so he, can he return to my farewell banquet three days later? ”
Li Haomiao thought for a while and said, "It should be possible, Xia Guan heard that he also returned on the same day, calculate the time, and the day after tomorrow should be there at the earliest." ”
When Wang Qinyuan heard this, his frowning brows suddenly stretched, his regret was swept away, and an emotional smile appeared on his old face: "It's good to come back, so that we can see each other again, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was he who helped the official to avoid the crime of unjust cases...... When he returns, the official has to thank him. ”
…………
Two days later, in the afternoon.
Lin Feng and the others hurried and finally arrived at Chang'an City.
Raising the curtain of the car, looking at the lively and familiar scene of Chang'an City, Lin Feng couldn't help but stretch his waist, and as his body stretched, he only heard the crackling sound constantly sounding at the joints of his bones.
He couldn't help but sigh again in his heart, this is a carriage, this is being tortured.
He looked at Sun Fujia, who was also stretching his body, and said with a smile: "Where is Sun Langzhong going next?" I'll let Fifteen send you first. ”
Sun Fujia thought for a while and said: "Let's go to the Criminal Department first, the official will first report to Dai Shangshu and tell him about the specific situation in Suizhou, and then if there is nothing important, he will go back to the house to rest first. ”
Lin Feng said with a smile: "Sun Langzhong and this official are tired, I will treat you another day and treat Sun Langzhong." ”
Sun Fujia is also not polite, the relationship with Lin Feng is getting better and better, there is no need to excuse yourself for dinner or something: "Okay." ”
Lin Feng smiled, and was just about to ask Zhao Fifteen to send Sun Fujia to the Criminal Department, when he suddenly heard a voice outside the carriage: "Inside the carriage are Lin Sicheng and Sun Langzhong?" ”
When Lin Feng heard this, he looked out of the car and saw a man wearing the robe of an ordinary official of Dali Temple, standing outside the car, saluting respectfully.
Lin Feng nodded: "It's this official, is there anything wrong?" ”
This Dali Temple official hurriedly said: "Lin Sicheng, Xiao Siqing instructed the lower officials to wait for Lin Sicheng here, saying that if Lin Sicheng arrived, please Lin Sicheng go directly to the residence of Deng Yuan Wailang of the Ministry of Officials." ”
Hearing the official's words, Lin Feng and Sun Fujia couldn't help but glance at each other, and both of them saw a different color in each other's eyes.
Xiao Yu specially asked people to wait for them at the city gate, and as soon as they arrived, they hurried to the mansion of Deng Xun, a member of the ministry, it seemed that something had happened.
The wife of Deng Xun, a member of the ministry, is the one who gave the golden hairpin as a gift in order to give Cai Wengyi a good future.
After learning about this, Lin Feng immediately asked Sun Fujia to send someone to pass the news to Xiao Yu, and asked Xiao Yu to retrieve the golden hairpin.
With the speed of the messenger, he should have arrived in Chang'an more than two days ago, and if Xiao Yu hadn't delayed, he would have taken the golden hairpin back from Mrs. Deng Xun more than two days ago.
But now, as soon as they arrived in Chang'an, Xiao Yu sent someone to wait here, and directly asked them to go to Deng Xun's mansion, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't look like Xiao Yu successfully retrieved the golden hairpin.
Lin Feng asked this official to also board the carriage, and then ordered the guards to escort Zhou Zheng into the Dali Temple prison to be strictly guarded, and then asked Zhao Fifteen to ride his horse to Deng Xun's mansion.
On the way, he asked directly: "But what happened?" ”
Sun Fujia also looked at the officials busily.
The officials of Dali Temple hurriedly said: "Two days ago, after Xiao Siqing received Lin Sicheng's letter, he immediately took people to Deng Yuanwailang's mansion and wanted to find Mrs. Deng, but as soon as we arrived there, we heard Deng Yuanwailang say that his wife ran away from home, and they were also looking for it. ”
"Running away from home?"
Lin Feng and Sun Fujia were both stunned.
They thought of many situations, but they didn't expect Mrs. Deng to run away from home.
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "When did you run away from home?" Didn't you find it all along? ”
The official said: "I ran away from home the night before Xiao Siqing went, and the maid went to knock on the door early the next morning, but there was no response, and the maid saw that the door was not locked, so she pushed the door and entered, and Mrs. Deng was already gone. ”
"Later, Deng Yuanwailang sent many people from the Deng Mansion to look for it, and Xiao Siqing also asked people to look for it, but until now, they have not been found."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, touched his chin and pondered for a moment, and said, "How do you know that Mrs. Deng ran away from home?" And not abducted, or had some other accident? ”
Sun Fujia also looked at the officials suspiciously.
The clerk said: "Mrs. Deng left a letter, which said that she was gone, and no one was allowed to look for her, and then her clothes, money, and jewelry were gone, and it was determined that she was taken away, and in the early morning of the same day, a family member found that the back door of Deng's mansion was opened, and it should have left through the back door." ”
Sun Fujia listened to the words of the official, thought for a while, and said, "There is a farewell letter, the luggage is taken away, and the back door is opened...... It does sound like running away from home. ”
Lin Feng didn't make a direct conclusion, he said: "It's better to wait until we get to the Deng Mansion and learn more about the situation, any conclusion at this time may mislead our next investigation ideas." ”
Sun Fujia couldn't help but think of the haunted case of Zhaofu, and Lu Chenhe, the long history, hurriedly came to the conclusion at the beginning, thinking that there were people pretending to be ghosts, which led to running in the wrong direction from beginning to end.
He nodded and said, "Yes, it's not too late to make a judgment after understanding clearly." ”
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped.
Everyone got out of the carriage and entered the Deng Mansion directly.
They hadn't gone far before Lin Feng saw Xiao Yu and a man walking briskly towards them.
The man was about forty years old, tall and thin, with a scruffy beard, black around his eye sockets, and deep sunken eye sockets.
"Xiao Gong!"
Lin Feng and Sun Fujia took the lead in saluting Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu looked at Lin Feng with a smile, nodded, his eyes were full of relief, and said, "Zide, the official of Suizhou has already known everything, and you have done a very good job!" ”
Lin Feng said humbly: "Xia Guan is lucky, Zhou Zheng himself left a flaw, which was used by Xia Guan, so he quickly solved the case, otherwise it will not be easy to solve this case...... And this case is also thanks to Sun Langzhong's assistance, if Sun Langzhong does not help investigate, Xia Guan will not be able to solve the case quickly. ”
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, whether it's you or Sun Langzhong, you can't run away with the credit." ”
Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng with emotion, in fact, in this case, he knew that he didn't do anything, it was all breakthroughs that Lin Feng found, he was running errands, and Lin Feng took the initiative to mention him, clearly wanting to share part of his credit, how he was not grateful, how not moved.
After talking about Suizhou, Xiao Yu directly talked about business, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, Mrs. Deng is gone." ”
Lin Feng nodded: "Xia Guan has already heard about it on the way here. ”
Xiao Yu bowed slightly, he turned his head to look at the man beside him, and said, "Deng Yuan Wailang, I believe you have also heard about Lin Sicheng's ability to solve cases, and if you hand over your wife's affairs to him, he will definitely be able to quickly find your wife for you." ”
When Deng Xun heard this, he hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, his face was full of tiredness and worry: "Lin Sicheng, you must help me find my wife, she has never suffered hardships since she was a child, how can she live when she is outside!" ”
Lin Feng took Deng Xun's anxious look into his eyes and nodded slightly: "Don't worry, don't worry, this official will definitely do his best." ”
He said: "Let's tell me the specific situation for this official first, right?" When did Mrs. Tang leave? What was wrong before leaving? Why did she leave? ”
Deng Xun took a deep breath and said: "Madame was found missing in the early morning two days ago, the maidservant knocked on the door and did not answer, and found that the door was not locked, so she pushed it open directly, and then found that Madame was missing. ”
"At that time, the maidservants did not know that Madame had run away from home, and they thought that Madame had gone somewhere else, so they searched the whole mansion."
"But in the end, they still didn't find the lady, and then they realized that there might be an accident, so they hurriedly went to find the official."
Lin Feng was puzzled: "Didn't you say that Mrs. Deng left a farewell letter?" When they entered the room, they didn't notice? ”
Deng Xun shook his head: "Madame's farewell letter was torn up by Madame and thrown on the ground, so they didn't pay attention at first, but after the official knew that Madame was missing, he went to the room and pieced together the torn paper on the ground, only to find out that it was a farewell letter left by Madame." ”
"Shredded?"
Lin Feng was a little puzzled: "Since Mrs. Deng is going to leave a farewell letter?" Why shredd? ”
Sun Fujia couldn't figure it out.
Leaving a farewell letter is telling others what they are going to do.
If you've decided to tell it, why tear it apart?
Deng Xun sighed: "Madame is in a bad mood during this time, and she is often angry, maybe she is in a bad mood when she writes a farewell letter, so she will tear it up." ”
Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu understood what Lin Feng meant, he nodded and said, "This official has asked the subordinates, Mrs. Deng is indeed not in a good mood these days. ”
Lin Feng nodded and asked Deng Xun, "I don't know why Mrs. Deng is in a bad mood?" ”
Deng Xun pursed his lips, hesitated, a little embarrassed, and said, "Because...... The official wants to take a concubine. ”
"Concubine?"
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, and Sun Fujia and Zhao Shifu also looked at Deng Xun with strange looks.
Deng Xun coughed and said, "The official wants to take a concubine, although the lady did not refuse, but she was also a little unhappy because of this. ”
Lin Feng could understand, he thought about it for a while, and said, "So Mrs. Deng ran away from home, maybe it was because Deng Yuanwailang wanted to take a concubine, and she was uncomfortable?" Resist with this? ”
Deng Xun was full of self-blame, and he said: "If I knew that Madame was so resistant, then I wouldn't take a concubine, but Madame didn't directly tell me that she was against my concubine, I really didn't expect that this matter would be such a big blow to Madame!" ”
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, he felt that this was a little unreasonable.
In the Tang Dynasty, the status of the wife was extremely high, and the concubine room could not be compared.
Even if there is no way to prevent the concubine from marrying in, but the concubine is a concubine after all, and she can't compete with her in terms of status and power, so why does Mrs. Deng have to resist by running away from home?
Don't you know that running away from home will make your situation worse, and even Deng Xun can be used as one of the reasons for divorce.
It wasn't a smart decision.
Of course, Deng Xun also said that Mrs. Deng's mood changes a lot, and if she is rushed into her head by emotions, she loses her mind for a while and does something impulsive, it is not impossible.
He looked at Deng Xun and continued to ask, "Deng Yuanwailang, what happened to Mrs. Deng before she ran away from home?" Have you ever lost your temper? ”
Deng Xun frowned and shook his head: "Nothing happened, and her performance was similar to usual...... However, I was busy in those days, I was in the ministry during the day, and when I came back at night, I was in the study to deal with official business, so I didn't have time to care about her, so I may have ignored her changes. ”
Lin Feng thought for a while, and then said, "Take me to Mrs. Deng's room to have a look, I'll go and see the farewell letter she left." ”
Deng Xun nodded hurriedly: "Please here!" ”
Several people followed behind Deng Xun, Xiao Yu and Lin Feng walked side by side, and he said in a low voice: "Zide, could this be related to the Four Elephants Organization?" ”
Lin Feng shook his head: "No...... Zhou Zheng still doesn't know the true whereabouts of Jin Hai, and the Four Elephants Organization won't know either, and as soon as we know it, we will let people send back the news, our messenger has the help of the post station, and the speed is already the fastest. ”
"It's impossible for the Four Elephants Organization to deliver the news one night earlier than us, not to mention that the Four Elephants Organization doesn't need to create any illusion of running away from home, can't they just send someone to steal it? Even if they are found out when they steal, killing Mrs. Deng will not have psychological pressure on them, so why bother to do other inconsequential things? ”
"So, this has nothing to do with the Four Elephants Organization, it's just a coincidence, we are looking for Mrs. Deng, and Mrs. Deng happened to run away from home."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yu and Sun Fujia both breathed a sigh of relief.
They were afraid that they would be one step slower than the Four Elephants.
While he was talking, Deng Xun stopped.
He looked at the room guarded by the officials of Dali Temple, the door was closed, and said, "Lin Sicheng, this is the room." ”
Push a little friend's book, "Three Kingdoms: I Just Want to Be Dead", the results are good, easy to see, you can go and see it.
