In the imperial history, Cheng specially investigated and dealt with corrupt officials among the courtiers, which was a position that offended people very much, and made corrupt officials fearful and admired by clean officials.

In the former imperial history, Lord Cheng Shengjia was upright and was a Qing official praised by the people.

But just last year, Lord Sheng Li was found to have accepted bribes, shielded domestic slaves and forcibly robbed people's daughters, and murdered people, and was convicted.

At that time, many people did not believe it, but they copied the bribery account book from his house.

There are also victims who testify that Sheng Li's domestic slaves robbed the women and killed people.

And the house slave, after the deed was lost, committed suicide in fear of sin.

At first, Sheng Li also shouted wronged.

But then, for some reason, he pleaded guilty and confessed all his sins.

For a time, between the former dynasty and the people, a thousand waves were stirred.

Everyone said that it is difficult to draw the skin of the tiger, and it is difficult to draw the skin and bones, and they don't know the face but not the heart, but they didn't expect that such an honest and honest official as Sheng Li turned out to be one set in front of him and one behind his back, enjoying the greedy silver taels, and listening to the good name of the Qing official, hating the common people so much that their teeth itched.

There are also many people who are very open-minded, and say, "You can't be an official, you are an ordinary official; if you and I go to change you, I'm afraid I'm more greedy than him!"

Many officials in the previous dynasty were polarized about the Sheng Kasa case, and one or two people believed that there must be hidden secrets.

Because Sheng Li, who has been crying out for grievances and his voice is so hoarse that he can barely speak, he was still clamoring for revenge in the morning, and suddenly confessed his guilt in the afternoon, which is very strange.

What's more, according to the account books copied from Sheng Li's family, he has been greedy for at least 800 taels of silver over the years.

But although the Sheng Li's family is not considered a family with four walls, and it is not to the point where the rats will cry and run away when they come in and turn around, they are not much better.

Although the clothes on the family are not patched, they are almost lost their luster, and there are even fewer servants to serve them.

The soldiers who raided the house failed to loot the silver taels from the Sheng Mansion, and Emperor Xuanyuan was very annoyed by this, and ordered the officials who tried the case to ask Sheng Li where he had hidden the greedy silver.

As a result, that night, Sheng Li, who was sentenced to be beheaded by the Autumn Queen, hit the wall in the cell and died.

After that, the young and old people of the Sheng Mansion, who were sparsely populated, couldn't stand the torture one by one, and all of them died, leaving only one Sheng Chunxiang.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, Sheng Chunxiang also went with his relatives.

The Sheng family's case was supervised by Liu Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Mu Yirong knew some inside information, Lord Sheng Li, before he died, the whole person's state was not quite right, and some jailers said that Dai Zhongcheng was very much like an evil spirit, very irritable, and when his mood was a little more stable, he shrank in the corner of the wall and muttered some inexplicable words, saying that there was a snake demon who wanted to swallow him.

Mu Yirong was once taken by his father to Dai Zhongcheng's house as a guest, and Dai Zhongcheng gave him the impression that unlike other officials in the court who pursued fame and fortune, he spoke simply and lived a simple life. He and his father Mu Jingzhong didn't believe that Sheng Li was that kind of corrupt official, and he felt that there must be something strange in it!

I just didn't expect that the last clue in that case was completely broken with Sheng Chunxiang's death.

Mu Yirong looked at Sheng Chunxiang's corpse, frowning slightly, he had heard that many people were fighting the Sheng family's idea of eight hundred taels of silver that was said to be hidden.

The husband who reported the time at night before, and the night patrol soldiers, had seen people entering and leaving the Sheng family's forbidden mansion several times.

Mu Yirong's eyebrows tightened, and he thought: Could it be that Sheng Chunxiang's death is related to the missing eight hundred taels of silver?

However, why did the murderer make such a move to blame the monster and kill people?

And who will be the mysterious benefactor of Sheng Chunxiang at night?

Such a mysterious and secretive, I am afraid that person's identity is extraordinary!

Some people who have heads and faces as officials go to the kiln, they have to be bitches to set up the archway, and every time they come to Huanxianglou, they hide it, just like being a thief.

For example, there is a lot of money like this, and it is not unusual for many benefactors who are unwilling to show their heads.

Mu Yirong asked Xu's mother, what is abnormal about that mysterious guest?

Mother Xu blinked a pair of mung bean eyes, thought for a while, and smiled very perfunctorily: "Oh, our place is sent to usher every day, where will we pay attention to those things." However, the guest had always come at night before, and had never come to the door during the day. Also, he was very generous, and my mother and I caught a glimpse of him through the crack in the door, a young man, well-dressed, and even the boots on his feet were very delicate. Oh yes, yes, the guest's boots were embroidered with a strange animal, and the jade pendant hanging from his waist was also in the shape of that strange animal. ”

Mu Yirong frowned and smacked secretly: "What kind of strange animal is it?"

"Well, it's hard to say, some look like lions, and some look like deer. Mom, I don't have any knowledge, and I can't describe it, so I'll forgive me. ”

"So did he come alone, or did he have someone with him?"

"There was an entourage, dressed in black, who didn't see it, but he exuded a cold air all over his body, and he couldn't help shivering when he looked at it, as if he had just been pulled out of the ice cellar. ”

After Xu's mother said this, she didn't know anything.

Mu Yirong saw that he couldn't ask anything anymore, so he asked the onlookers who were watching the excitement to report it. If it provides useful clues, the reward is five taels of silver.

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately raised their hands and shouted to provide clues.

As a result, after asking "one hundred and sixty-three tricks", Mu Yirong even gave birth to a few litters of cats raised by Huanxianglou Guigong Fulu, and he knew what color each was, but there was not a single useful clue. had to let the Tie Hanhan brothers drive out all the people and order them to come to the corpse.

Hou Hu and Hou Monkey blasted people out like ducks driving them down the river: "You people who see money and don't even see a single hair of the murderer, don't report it randomly." Hurry up and go home to feed the pigs and milk children, don't mess around here and delay the Dali Temple to handle the case. ”

The crowd refused to leave, and all crowded at the door, buzzing like a swarm of flies on a pile of.

Lao Li, who came to the autopsy, was sweating profusely and couldn't squeeze through the crowd, but fortunately he was discovered by the sharp-eyed Hou Hu, stretched out his arm, and forcibly pulled him from the crowd to the door.

Lao Li, who was sweating profusely, smiled gratefully at Hou Hu, then tidied up his messy clothes, stepped forward to salute Mu Yirong, and began to examine the body.

Playing Lao Li, near the ribs under Chunxiang's clothes, found a wound.

The wound was narrower, more rounded, and deeper than a dagger wound, and was fatal.

Mu Yirong asked what kind of weapon was injured, and he thought about it, but he couldn't answer for a while.

"Emei thorn. ”

Mu Yirong glared at Seocho, who suddenly spoke: "Why haven't you left yet?"
