Chapter 47: New Discoveries

Liu Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, as if he had a premonition: "What does this have to do with Guo Yan's case?"

Nangong Huangyun slapped his palms lightly and said heavily: "It has a lot to do with it! This gilded account book records the detailed bills of Jiangsu Dao's corruption and bribery over the years, and it has been collected by Guo Bingnan. Since Guo Yan's death, the gilded account books disappeared after Guo Yan'www.biquge.info s death, and later fell into the hands of the emperor. ”

Liu Jingxuan frowned slightly: "You mean to say that someone brought down the two adults, Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian, through the gilded account book, and it was premeditated. ”

Nangong Xuanyun nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." This gilded account book was secretly given to Lord Tong Guowei in the middle hall, and then Lord Tong instructed Chen Shu to participate in Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian. ”

Xiao Rang said: "It seems that this is indeed the case. But that's not surprising. Tong Guowei is a member of the Eight Masters Party. And Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian are the prince's disciples. It is not uncommon for Tong Guowei to find ginseng to defeat Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian. ”

Nangong Xuanyun continued: "This is indeed not unusual, but what is strange is who gave the gilded account book to Lord Tong. This gilded account book is a very secret thing, and ordinary people have no way of knowing it. Only those who are very familiar with Jiangsu Dao will know. And Guo Bingnan, known as Guo Bancheng of Gaoyou County, has been dealing with the official salt and tobacco of Yangzhou Mansion for Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian. Therefore, I think the murderer must have been committed by a native of Yangzhou. And before I checked many gentry and celebrities in Yangzhou, Chu Jinglian Chu was the most suspicious. ”

Liu Jingxuan raised his eyebrows: "Do you have evidence?"

Nangong Huangyun's face was embarrassed: "I don't have evidence yet." ”

Liu Jingxuan looked helpless: "Nangong Huangyun, this is not easy to do." Suspicion alone can't take people around. ”

Nangong Huangyun's face was solemn: "Lord Qiyu." Humble has investigated this Chu Jinglian. He is not a native of Yangzhou. I heard that he was adopted by Chu Xiaohan of Yangzhou in Xuzhou Mansion when he was ten years old. Chu Xiaohan was originally a rich man in Yangzhou Mansion, a kind person, and he never had any children under his knees. Chu Xiaohan saw Chu Jinglian for the first time, he was born cute, and he was smart and clever, so he liked it very much, so he took it back to Yangzhou. Soon after, Chu Xiaohan accepted Chu Jinglian as his adopted son. Chu Xiaohan invited many famous gentlemen to teach Chu Jinglian. Chu Jinglian doesn't like poetry and songs, and only loves mathematics. When Chu Jinglian grew older, he didn't care about his career and focused on business. Linger all day long among the rich businessmen, Yangzhou important ministers in the inner garden. When he was eighteen years old, he made the Chu family's family business prosperous, and he didn't know how many times bigger than he did at the beginning. But for some reason, Chu Xiaohan offended Bo Keshan because of a courtesan, and Bo Keshan sent someone to put Chu Xiaohan in prison. At that time, Chu Jinglian went out to do business and was not in Yangzhou. By the time Chu Jinglian came back, Chu Xiaohan had already died of illness in prison. ”

Xiao Rang asked, "Then when did Chu Xiaohan die?"

Nangong Xuanyun said: "Just the year before last. Since Chu Xiaohan's death, Chu Jinglian began to live in seclusion and rarely appeared again. ”

Liu Jingxuan shook his head: "Based on these alone, it can't be determined that Chu Jinglian is related to the murder of Guo Yan. ”

Xiao Rang smiled slightly and said, "Now that we have no clue, it is not easy for Nangong Xuanyun to find out this. ”

Nangong Huangyun seemed to remember something: "That's right, my lord." Just now, Murong Jielie sent someone to send an invitation to the humble position, inviting me to come to the house tomorrow. After speaking, he handed the invitation card to Liu Jingxuan with both hands.

Liu Jingxuan opened the invitation, and then said, "I also want to meet Lord Murong, and I will go with you tomorrow." ”

The next day, Liu Jingxuan and Nangong Xuanyun rushed to Murong Jielie's mansion.

Since this Murong Jielie came to Yangzhou, he has rented a house in Dongcheng, although it is not big, but it is quite elegant.

Nangong Xuanyun stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.

After a while, Murong Jielie strode out of the courtyard gate.

When Murong Jielie saw Liu Jingxuan, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Lord Liu, which fragrant wind blows you to my thatched hut." If you are disappointed, you hope to forgive your sins. Everybody, please inside. ”

Liu Jingxuan bowed and said, "Lord Murong, it's too polite. The lower officials came uninvited, and hoped that Lord Murong would take care of them. ”

Murong Jielie and Liu Jingxuan looked at each other and smiled, then joined hands and walked into the house.

This is a two-entry courtyard, and Murong Jielie directly introduced the two into the back hall. Murong Jielie personally made a pot of tea for everyone. The three of them were seated separately.

After the tea was put aside, Liu Jingxuan said straight to the point: "The lower officials heard that Lord Murong sent a heroic post and invited celebrities to come to solve the case. Yesterday, the Governor's Mansion also sent an official letter, asking this official to assist Lord Murong in solving the case. Xia Guan has been worried about the Guo family's case, so he came to find out. ”

Murong Jielie nodded: "Thank you, Lord Liu, for your concern." I asked Nangong to catch the head this time, and it is also for this matter. It's just that there are no eyebrows yet, so I didn't dare to rashly alarm Lord Liu. ”

Liu Jingxuan smiled slightly: "I don't know which celebrities Lord Murong has invited to come to help with the fist, has it already arrived?"

Murong Jielie looked out the window and said, "I received a letter from Fei Ge yesterday, saying that it will arrive today. I think it's time to come. No, it's already here, everyone, wait a moment, I'll come when I go. ”

After Murong Jielie finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked towards the door.

"Lord Murong, it's really good ears. As soon as I got to the door, you know. As she spoke, a girl in red walked through the door.

When Murong Jielie saw the girl, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Welcome to Miss Zhuge of the Falling Bird Forest." Under Murong Jielie, he was polite. Please also speak inside. ”

Zhuge Qingyi gave a gift, and Ying Ying smiled: "I am a person from the mountains and wilderness, and I dare not bother Lord Murong." ”

Murong Jielie laughed: "Why should the eldest lady be too humble, please speak inside." ”

The two came to the back hall, and Liu Jingxuan and others got up and stood at the door to greet them.

Zhuge Qingyi saw Nangong Bright Clouds, and a pair of autumn-like eyes flashed with brilliance: "I have heard for a long time that the owner of Ziyu Mountain Villa has never liked officialdom. I don't want to have a god arrested, and I haven't solved the case so far. After speaking, he covered the blood-dripping cherry mouth with his left hand and laughed.

Nangong Xuanyun's face was embarrassed, and he sneered: "I don't want to fall into the bird forest." It turned out that the Nine Heavens Xuansha had arrived. ”

Murong Jielie introduced Zhuge Qingyi and Liu Jingxuan and others to each other.

Zhuge Qingyi obviously didn't take Liu Jingxuan, the prefect, in his eyes, but only said a little blessing and sat down.

Zhuge Qingyi glanced around, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "The shelf of this Feiyun Island is big, and it hasn't appeared yet." ”

A burst of laughter suddenly sounded outside the window, like an eagle in the nine heavens, and the sea roared, shaking the hearts of everyone present.

Liu Jingxuan couldn't help but cover his ears.

"Who is talking ill of me about Feiyun Island? I'm just one step behind you, there's no need to say it so ugly!"
