Now the Han Dynasty is prosperous, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the sea is clear and the river is Yan.

There is no curfew in Chang'an City, and people can still travel and move freely after dark.

However, in order to prevent unscrupulous people from causing trouble, most important areas such as palaces and government offices were cordoned off at night, and people were not allowed to approach without permission, and those who violated the order were severely punished.

Now there are two major cities in Chang'an City, the east and west, and the night market when the sun sets, the scale of the night market is larger than the east and west cities, and it is between the east and west urban areas.

Wang Qilin took a shower in the room, ready to change into clean and tidy clothes to go to the night market - he hadn't visited the night market yet, and maybe there would be many sisters and sisters secretly watching him at that time, so he would definitely have to take care of it.

There was a large bathtub in the bathroom in the east hall, he leaned on one side of the bathtub, Eight Meow and Nine-Six leaned on the other side, and Ten He was lying on the door of Ninety-six's head, and the four of them took turns to sigh comfortably:

"Shhh...... Oh no. ”

"Meow meow. ”

"Six-six-six. ”

"Hey, hey. ”

Then they were taking a bath comfortably, when suddenly they heard someone shouting outside, "Come out, come out soon, is there a dead person in some room? Why is there a rancid smell?"

Eight Meow turned around and leaned on the wall of the tub to look out, its fur clinging to it, making it look like a big water mouse.

Hearing someone say that someone was dead, the corridor outside suddenly became lively.

Eight Meow flicked her hair anxiously, wanting to go out to see the excitement.

Wang Qilin said lazily: "Dead fart, it's your Uncle Xu's smelly feet that has spread out!"

Eight Meow immediately got back into the water, and even his mouth and nose didn't go under the water, only showing his round eyes and looking out in horror.

Wang Qilin sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and the outside was chaotic, and Lao Tzu didn't care.

His room faces east, and the window opens to the garden.

It's a pity that it's early spring now, although Chang'an City is bordered by Weishui in the north, the grass is green, and the south is connected to the south, and the ancient trees cover the sky, but the grass and trees in the city are not green, and only some peach trees and spring flowers bloom in the whole garden.

It's more boring.

There was a knock on his door and he shouted, "Who is inside?" Please come out and see, there are dead bodies on this floor......

"Not in my room!" Wang Qilin said lazily: "This official is subordinate to the Heavenly Prison, and he deals with dead corpses every day, if there is a corpse in the room, he will definitely not hide it from this official." ”

There was a knock on the door outside, but then it sounded again in the next room.

When one of them knocked on a room, a roar sounded in the room: "This official is the envoy of the Ejun County Punishment and the Inspectorate, who is making noise outside?"

"General Zhenxi Guan Jiannan!" a calm and slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Then Wang Qilin heard the chaos in several rooms, and after a few breaths, someone opened the door and knelt down: "Xiaguan Ejun will be sentenced to the inspection and the envoy will be sent to Wei Bujian, and he will meet General Zhenxi!"

The New Han Dynasty focused on the Han Dynasty in terms of the official system, and drew on the Tang and Song dynasties to form a unique set of official systems, in which the military system followed the Han system, with the general as the leader, the hussar general and so on, followed by the chariot cavalry general and the Wei general, and then the four Zheng generals and the four town generals.

General Zhenxi is a second-rank general, and the New Han Dynasty has the most extensive warfare in the north and east, west, north and south, and the general Zhenbei has the highest status, followed by the general Zhenxi in charge of the Western Regions.

In the past, the status of General Zhennan was also very high, after all, there was a lot of turmoil in the south, and the southern frontier was unstable, but after King Huan led his troops to the southwest, General Zhennan became a mascot, and all the capable soldiers and generals under his command were looted by King Huan.

Now General Zhennan is the emperor's eyes and ears to monitor King Huan, and he is also a celebrity in front of the emperor, but he has no real power.

The other door panels were pushed open, and some people rushed out to bow down to Guan Jiannan.

Wang Qilin is an upright and aspiring young man, he doesn't like to shoot people's ass, so he continues to soak in his warm bath.

However, since the smell of Xu Da's feet had alarmed General Zhenxi, he estimated that he would also be implicated, so he accelerated the speed of taking a bath.

He began to scrub in the shower.

But there was no bath towel in the room, so he grabbed Hachimeow and slammed it under his armpit......

Eight Meow's two little tails floated on the water like balls, and they blinked at the fact that their father was ravaged, and there was nothing they could do.

Because it's their grandfather who ravages their father.

Wang Qilin rubbed the bath and looked at Jiuliu, who swam over and silently stepped on his back with a dog's paw.

Xu's big room was also opened, and Wang Qilin heard the sound of gasping.

This person is a little uncounted, and he dares to gasp at the gate of Xu, isn't it because there is too little athlete's foot in his nose?

Sure enough, a cough sounded again.

Guan Jiannan's voice became muffled: "What a sturdy man, a good pair of iron feet." ”

Wang Qilin thought that the farce was over, but they were still knocking on the door.

A loud voice sounded: "General, there is no movement in this room, but there is corpse gas coming out." ”

Guan Jiannan said: "Open the door and take a look." ”

"The door was locked from the inside. ”

"Get out of the way, uncle, no, let the lowly come and kick it away. Xu Da said flatteringly and positively.

With a muffled sound, Guan Jiannan praised: "Sure enough, it's an iron footboard, cough cough." ”

"Don't go in, don't go in yet, General, there's a corpse in this room!"

"Isn't it, really dead?"

"Doesn't that smell like a foot smell?"

"Amitabha, the squirting monk thought that the smell of corpses you were talking about was the smell of the feet of my second troll, but it turned out that there was really a smell of corpses. ”

The gossip sound sounded, and then someone slammed Wang Qilin's door hard, and the voice sounded to Peihu: "Seventh Master, Seventh Master, Seventh Master, are you okay?"

Wang Qilin responded, rubbed his body indiscriminately and dried it, then put on his clothes and opened the door.

Seeing him come out, Xiang Peihu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, the seventh master is fine." ”

Wang Qilin was very moved: "Brother Tiger still cares about me." ”

Xiang Peihu smiled and said: "No way, I'm most afraid that something will happen to you, Seventh Master, if you die, who will go to the underworld to bring my daughter-in-law back?"

Wang Qilin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't tell the truth." ”

Shen Yifeng ran over and said, "Didn't the seventh master just go to the underworld to find your daughter-in-law when he died?"

Xiang Peihu was stunned for a moment.

Wang Qilin exploded: "Don't think crookedly, if I die and go to the underworld, I must quickly find your daughter-in-law and let her reincarnate or whatever, in short, don't let her come back!"

Xiang Peihu sneered: "Understand, understand, Seventh Master, don't worry, how can I have two hearts for you?"

Wang Qilin walked out, always feeling a cold neck, he looked back at Pei Hu, and saw that this thing was looking at his neck thoughtfully......

"I'm making it, aren't you giving up?"

"No, Seventh Master, you misunderstood me, I have always been loyal to you to Peihu. ”

The four halls of the Hospitality Temple are all imitating the layout of the guest house, but there is a gap in the room area and decoration specifications.

The east hall is luxurious, with about twelve rooms on both sides of the first floor, each with at least two bedrooms and a living room.

There were quite a few people living here, more than twenty people in the corridor alone, and these people were gathered around the door of a room around the corner, and they were looking inside.

Eight Meow and Nine-Six ran over, squeezing in from under the crotch and looking curiously with their necks stretched.

Eight meows have a small neck and a short vision of not big enough, so in a hurry, it stood up outside the door, pulled the door with its claws and probed it hard, and looked hard with its mouth open.

In the middle of the crowd was an old man with gray hair and a weathered face, and in the room a soldier was examining the body, which had fallen on a table full of wine and food.

Wang Qilin glanced at it, and there was only a pair of tableware.

After careful inspection, the military man walked out and saluted the old man: "Return to the general, people are still warm ......"

"Pedal Pedal Pedal T

A few chaotic and heavy footsteps sounded, and three or four people rushed upstairs quickly.

One of the handsome young men rudely stretched out his hand to push away the group of people who were blocking the door and watching the excitement and rushed into the house, the strong man frowned and was about to stop him, and a scribe who followed behind said in a panic: "This son is the nephew of my family!"

Wang Qilin followed him over to take a closer look, and the corpse lying on the table should be a middle-aged man, about forty to fifty years old, with a blue and black complexion, and blood stains under his nose, which should have been poisoned to death.

After the handsome young man entered the house, he reached out to try his snort, staggered back two steps and shouted: "Ah, my eldest father is dead, my eldest father has been killed!

Jingzhao Mansion moved quickly, and several neatly dressed elite officials rushed to the scene and directly blocked the entire East Hall.

An official was about to go out, he shook the brocade robe on his body and said coldly: "This case has nothing to do with this official, this official has made an appointment with the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to have a dinner, the time is almost up, don't delay the official's trip." ”

The official authority is great.

The Jingzhao Mansion has seen a lot of magistrates, but it has not been affected by the official name of the Imperial Envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate.

After saluting, one of the officers said: "Please forgive me, Shu County's deputy envoy was killed at the feet of the Son of Heaven, this is a serious case, and all adults in the East Hall need to cooperate and participate in the investigation." ”

The official said coldly: "What do you have to do with this official when you investigate the case? Do you suspect that this case was done by this official? Besides, this official and his friends have already made an appointment to go to a dinner together, if you miss a good day and are misunderstood, can you afford the consequences?"

The messenger smiled and said: "Then please leave your name and identity, we need to write down this case in detail and hand it over to Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Criminal Department, and we should also submit it to the Holy ......."

"Okay, okay, the official will go back, you'd better solve the case quickly, otherwise you'll miss the official's big business, be careful that the official asks you!" The official immediately withered when he heard the word 'saint', and turned around twice with a scolding voice.

Immediately, an errand officer targeted him, and he was not afraid of his official position.

Officials above the fourth grade are a big official in the local area, just like the emperor of the soil, but it is not enough to see in Chang'an City, there is a real emperor here!

Wang Qilin and the people on this floor were all brought into the next room, and there were officials coming later, and the identity of the people who came this time was very powerful, Jing Zhaoyi and Youfufeng in the three assistants of the capital came together.

The messenger came to investigate everyone, Jing Zhaoyi saluted everyone first, and then said solemnly: "General, my lords, the deceased is Lord Yu Darong, the deputy envoy of the Shu County Punishment and Investigation Department, according to General Dawei, when they found Lord Yu's body, his body was still warm, and the murderer should not have gone away, so please forgive this official for speaking unpleasantly, you are all suspicious now." ”

Zhenxi General Guan Jiannan said slowly: "My lord, you don't need to be polite, the matter is about human life, since we are suspicious, we should naturally cooperate with the investigation of Jingzhao Mansion, how do you need to ask, then ask, starting with the old man." ”

This is to give Jing Zhaoyi face, General Zhenxi is the highest official and most powerful person here, he is honestly investigated, and others are naturally not qualified to resist.

Jing Zhaoyi understood this, he bowed to Guan Jiannan, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, General." ”

In order to prevent collusion, everyone was sent back to their rooms, and Jingzhao Mansion arranged for officers to go to inquire about the case.

The case is very difficult to handle, the victim is a high-ranking official from the fourth grade, and the suspects are all officials, so Jingzhao Mansion is in a dilemma.

It was not easy for many suspects to do the same, they all stayed in their rooms to rest at the time, and then the alibi evidence was all provided by their roommates, and it was impossible for Jingzhao Mansion to accept such evidence.

Wang Qilin's side is especially miserable, and the others have a colleague to testify, and he is himself with a cat, a dog, and a bug......

The person who came to make a record for him was a scholar, and after he entered the door, he first determined Wang Qilin's identity, and then gave a detailed account of his every move after coming to Chang'an City and the Reception Temple.

The scholar left, and after a while, someone knocked on the door: "Lord Wang, down is Luo Taiying, the right Fufeng of Chang'an Mansion, can I meet and talk?"

Wang Qilin opened the door and said: "Lord Youfufeng is really polite, the door is not closed, you can come in directly." ”

The matter was urgent, Luo Taiying didn't have too much politeness, he first thanked Wang Qilin twice, and then went straight to the topic: "The name of Lord Wang has long been heard below, and Ge Shuai is a friend under him, he is full of praise for the adult, saying that the adult is thoughtful and solves the case like a god." Now I happen to meet you here, and I would like to ask you to help investigate this case. ”

Wang Qilin smiled bitterly and said: "Song Shuai is very loving, Lord Luo praises falsely, let's not say whether Xia Guan has this ability, but now that Xia Guan is in a situation, Xia Guan is a suspect!"

Luo Taiying shook his head and said: "Lord Wang is definitely not a criminal, you and Lord Yu have never known each other, and you only lived in this East Hall today, I'm afraid you don't even know who Lord Yu is, how can you kill him?"

"Lord Yu died of poisoning, with the skills of Lord Wang, even if he wants to kill him, he will change his method without knowing it, how can he kill people in such a hasty and simple way in the hospitality temple?"

Two rhetorical questions, Wang Qilin's suspicion was cleared.

But this comes at a price, and Jingzhao Mansion wants him to cooperate in handling the case.

So Wang Qilin hoped that he was not washed, so he didn't want to get involved in this case.

The one who died was a deputy envoy of the Procuratorial Department!

The Sentencing and Prosecution Department is a yamen signed by the previous dynasty, which has been used in this dynasty, and is in charge of the judicial affairs of a province and the matter of impeachment of criminal names, and has both judicial and supervisory functions.

This yamen is independent, the official in charge is called the inspection envoy, for the three products, according to the inspection of the deputy is the deputy envoy, for the four products, in addition to its internal three major institutions, the experience department, the grinding office, the prison department.

Experience in charge of the collection of documents and investigation of criminal names, one experience and one governor.

According to the grinding of the palm of the case file, set the light grinding, check the school each one person.

The prison department is in charge of prison affairs and has one person in charge of prisons.

In terms of Wang Qilin's insight in his dream, the Sentencing Department is a provincial court, and the vice president who died is the vice president, and the death of this kind of person is very intriguing.

The Department of Procuratorial Envoys is an institution with a lot of power but very complex human feelings, and there are not many procuratorial envoys and deputy envoys who can start and finish well.

But now that Jingzhao Mansion is begging to come to the door, he can't say it if he doesn't ask.

And this matter has a lot of responsibility and influence, which is a problem for Jingzhao Mansion, if he can help, then Jingzhao Mansion really owes him a big favor.

Wang Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "Then the lower official will follow and take a look, hoping to help a little." ”

Right Fufeng suddenly smiled: "Lord Wang, please come with this official." ”

They went directly to Yu Darong's room, and Yu Darong's cronies brought to Beijing were also in the room, except for his nephew, the other people were his subordinates and governors, all of whom belonged to his henchmen, and they all depended on him for promotion and wealth.

Now that Yu Darong is dead, several people are really mourning.

Not long after Wang Qilin entered the house, Xie Toad and Xu Da also came.

Obviously, Jingzhao Mansion has done a good job of gathering information, and knows a little about him and knows his iron triangle situation.

In the next half hour, Jingzhao Mansion gave him a glimpse of even more terrifying information-gathering abilities.

Jing Zhaoyin and You Fufeng went out, and when they came back, their faces sank and they said, "Yu Feizu came out." ”

The handsome young man walked out confused.

Right Fufeng Luo Taiying said in a deep voice: "Yu Feizu, you owe you a hundred gold baht to the local money gang, is that so?"

The handsome young man licked his lips and said, "Yes, yes, what the adult said is right, the villain is indeed ......"

Luo Taiying continued: "Lord Yu's wife died early, he was single-minded, he never married after that, and he has no descendants, so he thinks that your nephew is half a son, he has told the public many times, and when he is a hundred years old, his family property will belong to you, right?"

Yu Feizu said: "Yes, there is such a thing, but ......"

"But you can't wait for him for a hundred years, you owe too much money to the Money Gang, and the Money Gang has repeatedly asked you for money, and they have already released their rumors to the outside world, saying that if you don't pay back the money, they won't want this money, and they will want your life instead!" Luo Taiying said in an accentuated tone.

"So in order to be able to repay the money, you decided to kill your uncle to get his family property to pay off your debts!"

Yu Feizu was stunned, and he shouted: "Of course not, my lord is wronged, my father treats me as my own, how can I do such a thing that people and gods are angry with? Not to mention that although the money gang has threatened me many times, my eldest father is the deputy envoy of Shu County, how dare they really kill me?"

Luo Taiying said indifferently: "As far as we know from our investigation, the people of the Money Gang have always been bold, they have already hired a killer, and just the day before you left for the capital, your good friend was stabbed to death in the house. ”

"This matter must have been done by the Money Gang, and since they dare to kill your good friend, they will naturally dare to kill you! According to the information known to this official, Lord Yu did not plan to bring you with him when he went to Beijing this time, but he decided to bring you with him after you begged for it!"

Yu Feizu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with weak legs, and shouted: "But this case is indeed not the work of this official, how can I kill my eldest father?

He pointed sharply at the scribe behind him and said, "Jiao Yao, Jiao Yao has a problem! My lord, I want to report one thing, my eldest father, my eldest father did not marry after my eldest mother's death, not because he was deeply affectionate to my eldest mother, but because he didn't like women!"

"He likes men?" Jing Zhaoyin couldn't help but ask.

Yu Feizu suddenly nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, he likes men, and, and he has liked Jiao Yao recently!"

A delicate governor dressed as a scribe showed a look of anger: "Xiao Langjun, what are you talking about?

Yu Feizu shouted at him: "Don't quibble, you killed my eldest father, don't think I don't know, I know everything, my eldest father was promoted to be the governor of the uncle because he coveted your beauty!"

Xu Da picked his ears and listened intently, so as not to miss a byte.

Yu Feizu continued: "My lord, you can go and check, Jiao Yao must have resigned recently, I know about this." ”

"And you go to Hua Xiaolou to find a girl named Peony and ask, that's his good friend, he once told Peony, saying that if my father forces him again, then he will kill my father, and then elope with Peony. ”

Speaking of this, he excitedly pointed to Jiao Yao and said: "Jiao Yao, you fool, you have lived to be a dog at such an old age, do you really regard the happy girls as confidants?

A group of people looked at Jiao Yao, Jiao Yao's face was pale and his expression was panicked, obviously what Yu Feizu said was the truth.

Luo Taiying waved his hand, and some officials were ready to go up to get people.

Jiao Yao knelt down all of a sudden, and said: "My lord, please Mingjian, Xiaguan was indeed persecuted by Lord Yu, and Xiaguan also said that to Peony, but it was drunk, and Xiaguan was drunk at that time." ”

"Don't listen to his quibbles, even if he killed my father, it was definitely him!" Yu Feizu angrily rushed up to beat Jiao Yao.

Wang Qilin stepped forward to block him, and said to Jing Zhaoyin and You Fufeng: "Two adults, but the lower officials feel that this Yu Feizu is more suspicious. ”

Jing Zhaoyin said politely: "Lord Wang, but it's okay to say, tell me your opinion." ”

Wang Qilin said: "First of all, the official was at the door at the time of the crime, and after Yu Feizu and the others arrived, he was the only one who rushed in in a hurry, and after entering, he tried Lord Yu's snort and shouted 'Lord Yu was killed'." ”

"The first question is, Lord Yu died of poisoning, maybe he committed suicide, why can he be sure that Lord Yu was killed?"

"Secondly, in terms of motives, if Lord Jiao Yao wants to harm Lord Yu, then he should find a way to lure Lord Yu to a place where no one is secretly killed, so that people can find out that Lord Yu is dead, the better, because in this way, the possibility of him being suspected can be reduced as much as possible. ”

"Yu Feizu is different, he killed Lord Yu in order to obtain the family property, so he has to let Lord Yu's body come out, and he has to let the outside world confirm Lord Yu's death as soon as possible, so that he can get the family property of Lord Yu. ”

"Here comes the second question, who should we suspect?"
