"On the tenth night of the first month, everyone in the Wang family heard the sound of Wang Qingyan coming home. Early the next morning, it was found that Wang Qingyan had been stabbed to death in the study, and the study also had traces of being turned over. ”

"During the on-site investigation, we found that there were two forms of paper in the bloodstains. One is soaked in fresh blood and coagulated, and the other is falling on top of the coagulated blood. ”

Yan Kuan listened very attentively, and couldn't help blurting out asking, "What does this mean?" ”

There are two types of time to turn the paper. The first is when the murderer has just finished killing someone and falls while rummaging. The second is that long after death, after the blood has clotted, someone falls while rummaging through the paper. ”

An Ying looked at Qin Manyun and said, "The second situation can only be Mrs. Wang, Qin Manyun, who entered the study early the next morning. ”

Qin Manyun lowered his head and said, "It's me." I will find out the manuscript of the Prime Minister and send it to Chengbi Hall before the government comes. ”

Liang Su stopped chewing and said, "Chengbitang? Could it be that Wang Qingyan is the son of Qingluan? What are you sending the manuscript of "The Story of Pink"? ”

Qin Manyun nodded, while Liang Su, Yan Kuan and the others looked at each other excitedly, and the others also whispered.

An Ying looked around and said, "This case is much more complicated than the first two. This starts with Wang Qingyan's dismissal from the household department. ”

"Didn't you say that the direction was wrong?" Yan Kuan asked anxiously.

"The direction is wrong, but it's the cause of things."

"Wang Qingyan embezzled one hundred taels of silver when he was a judge of the household department. To tell the truth, it sounds like a lot of silver, but compared to the millions of taels of silver he handles every year, it is actually very small. ”

"Why did he embezzle this money, which was not much but ruined his career? The judge of the degree support can be promoted after another year, and there is a great future ahead.

An Ying looked at Qin Manyun and said, "Because his wife is seriously ill, he is in a hurry to use the money, and he has no choice but to embezzle a sum of money. ”

Qin Manyun's tears dripped down.

"Fortunately, the money was put to great use, and Mrs. Wang was rescued." An Ying continued: "But Wang Qingyan has no errands, the loose officials can't get a few dollars, and Mrs. Wang has to continue to take medicine. ”

"This is Mrs. Wang's prescription, Liang Su, take a look."

Liang Su, who was named, was stunned, swallowed a few mouthfuls of dried incense, took the recipe and glanced at it, "This recipe is for the treatment of the spleen and stomach, but Mrs. Wang has belching all year round and doesn't think about eating." Qin Manyun nodded.

Liang Su said: "There is no problem with the prescription, but this medicine cannot be broken." And the price of several herbs in this prescription is relatively expensive. ”

Wang Qingyan's ancestral home is Jingzhou, his family is mediocre, and he basically relies on Wang Qingyan to work hard in the capital by himself. For Mrs. Wang's medicine money, Wang Qingyan looked for work everywhere to earn money. ”

He found his fellow countryman, Le Cheng Bai Yongcheng of the Teaching Workshop Division. According to Bai Yongcheng's introduction, he wrote lyrics for the tune in the teaching department, and he could earn some silver money and a day's rations. ”

Qin Manyun was a little stunned for a moment, she said hesitantly: "You mean that Qingyan has been working in the Teaching Department before?" ”

"Yes, even Topaz's work was introduced by Bai Yongcheng of Qingyantuo."

Huang Yu on the side couldn't help but say: "Then isn't the story I told ......?"

"Yes, the story of Qiu Yueniang you said, in fact, Wang Qingyan knew it for a long time. Bai Yongcheng, Wang Qingyan and Qiu Yueniang are all fellow villagers in Jingzhou. ”

Yan Kuan couldn't help but interject: "So the book "Peach Story" turned out to be apocryphal? ”

An Ying nodded and continued to say to everyone: "Yes, the story of "Peach Red Story" is written by Qiu Yueniang. ”

The Duchess of Qi on the side couldn't help but say: "Isn't there really a black-hearted negative man in this way?" ”

An Ying nodded and said, "Indeed." But Qiu Yueniang doesn't have close friends, just like Huang Yu said, people who do rough work are busy trying to find ways to eat enough, how can they care about others. ”

"Bai Le, even you, the fellow who introduced her to the Teaching Division, don't you know?"

Bai Yongcheng, who was standing in the crowd, nodded, "I never asked, and she didn't say it." It's just that every day off, I go to various Yizhuang in the capital to inquire. Later, I heard that she had found her husband, but ....."

Just like Taohong in "The Story of Peach" found out that her husband Liu Zhen had become a colt, Qiu Yueniang also found out that her husband was still alive and even became a high-ranking official, but her husband didn't recognize her and was only willing to give her some money. She told the people who worked under the chef of the teaching workshop about this, and basically everyone knew about it. ”

Huang Yu said: "Yes, we all know about this. Later, we persuaded her to collect the money, and she later thought that it would be better to take the money and go back to her hometown. ”

Bai Yongcheng also said: "I also know about this, didn't Qiu Yueniang take the money and leave later?" ”

An Ying shook her head, "Huang Yu, Mrs. Wang, what you said was unusual about Wang Qingyan was that he once inquired about a quick catcher on the street. ”

Qin Manyun and Huang Yu glanced at each other and said in surprise: "Is he inquiring about Qiu Yueniang?" ”

"Yes, we found a fast catcher on patrol on the East and West Streets, and Wang Qingyan inquired about Qiu Yueniang. What he said quickly is right with what Bai Lezhi said, as well as what the chef of the teaching workshop said, that is, Qiu Yueniang went to the Terracotta Division to guide the road, and she was ready to leave. But someone once heard a conversation between Qiu Yueniang and a man under the kitchen of the teaching workshop. Jiang Acai, you can tell me. ”

"Little Jiang Acai, who used to work as a wind master in the Jiaofang Division in the east of the city, hehe, don't you understand, it's just to fan people in summer and beg for food. One day I was secretly sleeping under the kitchen, and I heard a man talking to a woman, and the woman cried that the man had abandoned his bad wife and married a famous lady in the capital, and she was going to the capital to file a complaint. The man said, "Give you some money, and go back quickly." ”

At this time, the Duchess of Qi Guo understood, and she said, "The two of them didn't negotiate in the end? ”

An Ying sighed, nodded and said, "Yes." In fact, at first, I wasn't sure if it was Jiang Ah who heard it in front of her, or if Qiu Yueniang and others said that she was going back to her hometown. After all, if Jiang Acai heard what happened before, then things would go as Qiu Yueniang said, she compromised, took the money and left. ”

Liang Su understood, "Yes, you don't know before and after these two things happened. What if she had met her husband at the Workshop Division first? Later, the two negotiated again, but it wasn't necessarily? ”

An Ying nodded at Yuan Yi, the sect leader, and said, "Are you people in the kitchen unable to go to the guests in front?" ”

Yuan Yi saluted An Ying, and then saluted Su Huangzhe, Duchess Qi Guo and others: "There is a rule in the Teaching Workshop Division, and people who do rough work such as chariots and horses under the kitchen cannot enter the front. The only people who waited in front were prostitutes, musicians, and tea and wine. ”

This is also why Huang Yu has been working in the Teaching Workshop Division for a year, and he has never seen Wang Qingyan, who is also working in it. It wasn't until she resigned from her job in the Teaching Workshop Division that she had the opportunity to walk from the front when she came to the Teaching Workshop Division later, so she saw Wang Qingyan and Bai Lecheng talking. An Ying said.

Only then did Huang Yu and Qin Manyun understand, Qin Manyun grabbed Huang Yu's hand and let go.

Liang Su suddenly realized: "So the conversation Jiang Acai heard must have met in other places, and it was her husband who specially found the chef of the teaching workshop?" ”

An Ying nodded, "Yes, so the more reasonable inference is that Qiu Yueniang met her husband elsewhere, and the two negotiated things." But I don't know why, Qiu Yueniang repented, she was going to the capital to complain! Then her husband came to dissuade her. ”
