Chapter 216: Contempt from the Ombudsman!

······

The body of the slain household officer has been found.

Lin Ziying is taking his subordinates here to inspect the scene.

The deceased, Lin Ziying has seen, is the subordinate officer on duty tonight.

Isn't he supposed to leave Tobe, though?

How could he die in a remote courtyard in the household?

The deceased had only a hole in his neck, which was not injured by a sharp weapon, but pierced his throat with his strength and died.

"It seems that the other party is at least a half-step Grandmaster powerhouse. ”

Lin Ziying couldn't help but think of the woman that Erhu said.

Why did she kill?

Or is it that she appeared in the household just to kill people, and it has nothing to do with them, not for them.

It's just that Lin Ziying can't figure out how this small subordinate official of the household department provoked a strong person who is at least a half-step grandmaster?

He didn't dare to carry this matter anymore, so he asked people to look at the corpse, and he hurriedly went to report it to Chen Chao.

By this time, it was almost dawn.

According to the time of the household department, someone is about to come.

When Lin Ziying entered the main courtyard, he had already seen Chen Chao and Qin Zheng's people coming out of the account room.

"Uncle, it's not good, something happened. ”

Lin Ziying quickened her steps and walked to Chen Chao and said.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Chao was stunned for a moment, he was a little sleepy, but he was a lot more energetic.

Lin Ziying said: "The subordinate officer on duty was killed. ”

"The subordinate officer on duty was killed?"

The people sent by Qin Zheng couldn't help but be surprised, he looked bureaucratic.

This person's surname is Ma, and his name is Wei.

Among the people who checked the accounts of the Ministry of Household Affairs last time, he was an official of the Supervision Yuan.

The official position is not high, but the power is not small.

After all, he is directly subordinate to the monarch and has the authority to supervise officials at all levels.

The Yan Duo, who is now locked up in the prison of Dali Temple, turned out to be in charge of the Supervision Yuan, and the official position was to supervise the imperial history, and he was the leader of the Supervision Yuan.

"It's really audacious, dare to commit murder in Mingdu, it's really a king's law. ”

He said angrily.

Chen Chao ignored him and annoyed him a little.

When Chen Chao checked the accounts, he chattered on the sidelines, claiming that Chen Chao had done so much that he couldn't find anything at all.

Otherwise, what do they want to do with this Inspectorate?

Chen Chao motioned to Lin Ziying to take him over to inspect the corpse, and after looking at it for a long time, Chen Chao didn't see anything, but he realized a serious matter.

Before he could say anything, Ma Wei had already spoken, "Mr. Chen, there is a murder case in this household, I'm afraid that our accounts can't be checked, Zhao Chuan, as the chief official, must come forward to deal with this matter, this is the rule."

Similarly, if there is a murder case in the household department, the criminal department will also investigate here for at least a few days, and it is not easy for us to secretly check the accounts.

But it's okay, it can make Mr. Chen die and go home to rest, not to mention, nothing can be found out. ”

"Master Ma is right, you go back and report to the monarch, I won't check this account. ”

Chen Chao snorted and took Lin Ziying and them away.

When Ma Wei heard Chen Chao say this, he couldn't help but sneer and was a little disdainful.

Chen Chao worked all night and didn't find anything, Ma Wei listened to Chen Chao the most on the side, and the words with anger were that there was no problem, nothing was bad, how could this be!

Check an account book, Chen Chao will say at least one word, and Ma Wei's ears are about to hear the calloon.

Ma Wei believed that there was no problem with the accounts of the household department, but he had checked it.

And even if there is a problem, it can't be found out overnight, not to mention that now that something has happened, the account can't be checked.

He was very happy in his heart, lest he stay up late with Chen Chao and be about to die.

Glancing at the corpse, Ma Wei looked official, and said to Lin Ziying's subordinates who were leaving, "Go and report to the official, I'll report to the monarch." ”

As a result, Lin Ziying's subordinates didn't pay attention to him at all, looked at him like an idiot, and left with Chen Chao.

"You, you, you, you despise this official so much, you are too disrespectful. ”

······

Chen Chao and they returned to the General's Mansion, and Shang Qianxue got up early and made breakfast for Chen Chao.

After Chen Chao washed, he was really a little hungry, so he ate it with a wolf.

Erhu and Lin Ziying also accompanied Chen Chao to eat together.

"The porridge made by my sister-in-law is really fragrant. ”

The two tigers ate very fragrantly, and they didn't forget to praise it.

Lin Ziying only cared about eating, didn't say anything, he didn't know what to say, it stands to reason that Shang Qianxue is Lin Yingnan's rival, he should be hostile, but Lin Ziying knows that Lin Yingnan likes Shang Qianxue very much and doesn't care that she is with Chen Chao.

As for Shang Qianxue herself, whether it is appearance or character, Lin Ziying can't find fault.

He doesn't hate Shang Qianxue.

But from the perspective of being a member of the Lin family, Lin Ziying understood that it was inconvenient for him to have any statement on this matter.

To Shang Qianxue, he just does what he should be polite, he will not be alienated, and he will not be deliberately close.

Completely different from the Second Tiger.

In this regard, Lin Ziying is also envious.

"How's the accounting?"

Shang Qianxue sat next to Chen Chao and asked him, looking at Chen Chao's somewhat red eyes, Shang Qianxue was a little distressed, and said, "I also know the account, let me help you." ”

"Sister-in-law, no need, there is a murder case in the household department, and I can't check the accounts, it's impossible for Brother Chao to bring down Zhao Chuan. ”

Erhu was eating porridge in a big gulp, and he said vaguely.

"Really?"

Shang Qianxue was a little surprised.

"What is, listen to the nonsense of the second tiger. ”

Chen Chao raised his chopsticks and knocked them on Erhu's head.

Erhu glared at Chen Chao and said, "It's useless for you to beat me, that's the case." ”

Shang Qianxue looked surprised, Chen Chao told him what happened in the household, but he finally said, "What about the account, it is true that it can't be checked, but even if it can be checked, there is no need for it." ”

"Why?"

This sentence made Shang Qianxue, Lin Ziying, and even Erhu a little surprised, and the three of them looked at Chen Chao together.

Chen Chao smiled mysteriously and said, "There is nothing wrong with the accounts of the household department, judging from some of the main inputs I have checked, it is actually not bad, but the more this is the case, the more suspicious this matter is, I think I already know what Zhao Chuan did." ”

The three of them continued to look at Chen Chao, only Erhu couldn't help but take another bite of porridge.

Chen Chao opened his mouth and said, "Ziying, send some competent people to these places to inquire about some things, and if things are the same as I judged, bring me the witnesses back."

This time, if I guessed correctly, Zhao Chuan must finish. ”

He handed Lin Ziying a note with several state capitals written on it, and after explaining some more detailed things to Lin Ziying, Lin Ziying didn't care about eating, so he went directly to explain the matter.

Chen Chao looked at Erhu at this time and said, "Erhu, you said that the person who appeared in the household department was a woman?"

"Yes. ”

The two tigers ate porridge and responded.

Chen Chaodao: "You said you smelled the breath on her body, what kind of breath is it?"

Erhu couldn't help frowning, thinking hard, and after a while, he said, "It's a bit similar to the aura on your body, Brother Chao." ”

"Dang!"

Chen Chao raised his chopsticks and knocked on Erhu's head, and scolded with a smile: "You mean that you are brother and my mother." ”

Shang Qianxue pursed her lips and chuckled.

Erhu glared at Chen Chao and snorted dissatisfiedly, "I mean, she has the same smell of ink on her body as Brother Chao." But it smells better than the ink on Brother Chao's body. ”

The smell of ink?

Chen Chao was slightly stunned, he checked the accounts last night, and in order to calculate, he really wrote a lot of words, and his hands were stained with some ink, so it is understandable that he has such a taste.

What's the matter with that woman?

Chen Chao said, "If you meet that woman again, you may find her?"

Erhu raised his hand and scratched his head, "It's hard to say, what if she takes a bath." ”
