Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

When he received the news of Chen Zhao's murder, Li Chengfeng was in a daze. Thinking back to the other party's curvaceous appearance, it was hard to believe that he killed a man or killed a chicken.

"Who is the dead person? Tell me about the situation." Li Chengfeng forced himself to calm down and asked the person who came to report.

"It's also a student of the Imperial College, called Qian Zhongyuan, and now the Shuntian Mansion has come to arrest him."

Hearing Qian Zhongyuan, Li Chengfeng felt a "thump" in his heart. If it was this person, it was really possible, so he quickly got dressed and went to the Imperial College.

Before the carriage arrived, he could see bright lights in front of him from a distance, and the gate of the Imperial College was in a mess.

"What are you doing here!" Li Chengfeng stood behind, scowling and scolded angrily, "Except for those who are related, everyone should go back to the dormitory, otherwise all will be demerited!"

It was the first time for the supervisors to see such pressure on the sacrificial wine, and they scattered in fright.Not long after, the door was empty.

"Fortunately, you are here, my lord." A man stepped forward and bowed to Li Chengfeng: "There are several honorable families around, it is really difficult for the lower officials to speak, and I am worried about what to do."

"I have no way to teach you. I am sorry to bother you, but I dare to ask you..."

The man quickly replied: "Your Excellency, it is good to call me Wu Ling. The Shuntian Mansion has passed the judgment. This time, since the Imperial College is involved, I dare not let the yamen guards take people casually, so I will follow along."

Li Chengfeng complimented Wu Ling a few words, and then said: "Li has an unfeeling request, Chen Zhao is also my student, can I simply ask him a few words before he goes to Shuntian Mansion."

This request was not too much, so Wu Ling agreed, and ordered someone to bring the prisoner Chen Zhao over.

When the bloodstained and embarrassed Chen Zhao appeared in front of Li Chengfeng, Li Chengfeng almost didn't recognize him.On the other hand, Chen Zhao himself, seeing Jijiu's eyes lit up, shouted loudly: "Jijiu save me! I didn't kill anyone! Brother Li, trust me!" It seemed that this kid was really anxious, and he started to flirt openly.

Li Chengfeng sighed in his heart, and sure enough, Wu Ling's eyes became vigilant after hearing the words "Brother Li", and he said with a smirk: "There are all personal and material evidence, and you still want to deny it!" Said After that, he brought Luo Er and the others over and asked them to recount what happened.

Li Chengfeng signaled Chen Zhao to stop his impotent rage, thought for a while and said, "Master Wu, even though he is beside the corpse, it does not prove that he is the murderer."

"It's true that this alone can't be proven, but there are still many students who point out that the two have always had conflicts, and several murder weapons were found from Chen Zhao's room. His roommate also said that he has been sneaking around these days." , and even secretly inquired about Qian Zhongyuan's whereabouts, these things together can always prove it."

"This..." Li Chengfeng was speechless. Indeed, as soon as these words came out, it was almost certain that Chen Zhao was the murderer.

Wu Ling's face was bright, and he felt that he was a model of not being afraid of power. Seeing that the other side was offering wine silently, he raised his hand and said, "Master Li, it's getting late today, and I will handle the case impartially. Please Don't stop it."

Li Chengfeng had no choice but to let him go.This kind of incident happened near the end of the year, and everyone felt uncomfortable. Li Chengfeng asked all the chiefs to appease the students in the school, and pay special attention to the first few witnesses at the scene, so as not to leave any psychological shadow.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year came. Unexpectedly, the Aoshan Lantern Festival, which was often held in the past, was canceled. The people in the capital expressed their disappointment, and many people came from thousands of miles just to see the spectacle.Li Chengfeng was also puzzled in his heart. It stands to reason that the treasury has been getting richer and richer in the past two years, and the imperial court is going to be very rich, so why should we have some fun? But it didn't take long for him to be puzzled, and he was told that the emperor had a decree to announce him into the palace.

Li Chengfeng didn't dare to delay, he changed into his official uniform and followed behind the small yellow gate, and when he entered the imperial study, Zhu Houcong had already been waiting there, and the two of them were speechless for a while.

After a while, Jiajing Fang said dryly, "I heard that Li Jijiu is still in the Imperial College even at the age of thirty...why don't you go home?"

"Going back to the emperor, I'm alone. It's not interesting to go back. I just want to give the servants of the mansion a vacation and spend time with the students of the Imperial College." Li Chengfeng replied respectfully.Originally, he had a few acquaintances in Beijing, most of whom were officials from the southeast back then, and they were later transferred to Beijing.But when it's Chinese New Year, it's not good to disturb other people's reunion. The few left-behind children in the Imperial College are lonely. As a teacher, he should care about the students.

"Sacrificing wine is indeed the pillar of the country." Zhu Houcong nodded and replied, and then the room fell into silence again.

In the end, it was Li Chengfeng who couldn't stand it and took the lead to break the weird atmosphere. He remembered that the child was quite good at talking when he was a child, but how he grew up to become a dull gourd.However, for those who are celebrating the new year, it is impossible for them to call themselves over for no reason, so they directly asked: "I dare you, I don't know if the emperor has anything to worry about."

"..." Zhu Houcong didn't speak, and sighed after a while: "It's not Zhen, it's Chunyin."

Li Chengfeng understood immediately, and asked tentatively, "Is it because of Chen Zhao?"

Jiajing nodded, quite helplessly: "Chun Yin doesn't believe that Chen Zhao will kill someone, she just wants to reverse the case for him. The queen mother is very angry, thinking that Chen Zhao is involved in a life lawsuit, no matter what, he is not a good match. But Chun Yin is very persistent. , Even so, we must find a way to rescue him.”

"This..." Li Chengfeng was speechless for a while, he had actually investigated Chen Zhao secretly, and he himself was fine, except that he was a little withdrawn, other things were fine.But not to mention his mother's remarriage, she once served as a concubine for others, and it is said that she is also very mean, and it is true that she made things difficult for her original spouse's son.Even if Chen Zhao didn't do anything wrong with such a family matter, he would have to report it to the Ministry of Rites.

But he never expected that Chunyin's love has grown so deep, it's really difficult.

"Actually, there are some doubts." Jiajing added: "Because of the special status of the person involved in the case, the Shuntian Mansion directly handed over the papers for me to review in person. Chen Zhao was in prison, no matter how interrogated, he insisted that he did not kill anyone. Those murder weapons were all blunt, but Qian Zhongyuan’s was a knife wound. Most importantly, the dagger that wounded people was a big problem.”

As he said that, he handed over the dagger, Li Chengfeng looked at it in wonder, and found nothing wrong except that it was a little old.

Jiajing seemed to see what he was thinking, and explained: "Because of my attack, the Tiangong Bureau has been researching and developing military industry recently. They have improved the steel smelting process, which not only increases the strength, but also reduces the cost. There are quite a few. The folks have recycled obsolete old knives, and now there are very few such daggers around the capital. It is true that normal people can’t tell the difference, but people in the government can still detect it.”

Li Chengfeng thought silently, if this is the case, how could Chen Zhao, a student who has never been out of Beijing all his life, have such a thing.Although it is not enough to prove his innocence, it is indeed somewhat suspicious.

"Chen Zhao has a special status, and it involves the royal family, so there are many things that cannot be told to outsiders." Zhu Houcong said apologetically.

Li Chengfeng shook his head: "Your majesty, there is no need for it. As the Imperial Academy's priest, Yu Gongchen, the two people involved in the case are students of the minister, so it is their duty. The private minister Yu takes care of the princess a lot. It’s worth it to work hard.”

"Then, I will decree that you have full power to supervise the case, and Shuntian Mansion and others will assist you."

"The minister leads the order."

After leaving the palace, it was getting late. Looking at the dark sky, Li Chengfeng sighed sadly.Inexplicably, he took on a job for himself. If it comes to inventions and creations, he is considered a half-expert, but when it comes to investigating and judging cases, he is completely a younger brother.But things have come to this point, and we can only bite the bullet.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengfeng went to the government's morgue and briefly checked Qian Zhongyuan's body with Wu Zuo.Wu Zuo heard that the person who came was the Guozijian Jijiu, and he was worried that the literati would be weak and that he would not be able to face the dead body, so he suggested waiting outside the door.

Li Chengfeng shook his head amusedly. From the time he crossed to the present, he has had a lot of lives on his hands, and he is no longer the technical nerd he was back then.He raised his hand and told the other party to leave quickly.

The smell of the morgue was not pleasant, but fortunately it was winter, and Qian Zhongyuan had not been dead for a long time. Although there were corpse spots on his body, he was not corrupt.

"The time of death of the deceased was around Xu time. The cause of death was that he was stabbed in the abdomen by a sharp object, resulting in excessive blood loss, and the location was the room where he was found." Wu Zuo indicated to Li Chengfeng while stating what he had found.

Li Chengfeng looked at the corpse carefully, and suddenly asked: "What are these places?" He pointed to the traces that were obviously different from other corpse spots.

Wu Zuo glanced indifferently, "My lord, these are injuries suffered during his lifetime. Qian Zhongyuan left a mark after his death, which also proves that he had fought with gangsters before. But it's a pity that he didn't have enough strength. That day, almost everyone in the Guozijian had left, but firecrackers were set off outside from time to time, so no one noticed."

Frowning, what the other party said is also possible.But in his memory, when he saw Chen Zhao that day, although his clothes were messy, he didn't have any scars.It stands to reason that with Chen Zhao's small body, if he really fought with Qian Zhongyuan, even if he won, how could he not be injured?Could it be poisoned?

However, this idea was also rejected by Wu Zuo. The other party said that he had carefully checked Qian Zhongyuan's body, and there was no sign of poisoning.

With doubts, Li Chengfeng returned to the Imperial College, questioned several witnesses that day, and the answer he got was that he did not see Chen Zhao committing the crime with his own eyes.Only then did Li Chengfeng feel that something was wrong.

Just when he was at a loss, Tang Zhenggang knocked on Li Chengfeng's door.

It's still the same calm face, and the serious expression of the director.Tang Zhenggang first gave a brief report on the work of these days, then began to talk about the focus of teaching in the future, and finally started to chat with Li Chengfeng about homework, which made Li Chengfeng get goosebumps all over his body.

"Cough...Master Tang, as colleagues, you and I can speak up if we have anything to do, and I will help if I can." Li Chengfeng interrupted him, unable to stand it any longer.

Tang Zhenggang faltered for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Li, I heard that you were assigned to investigate the assassination of Qian Zhongyuan. I want to come here and say that although Qian Zhongyuan and Chen Zhao have never been at odds, I have been in the same position for so many years. Knowing the students, Chen Zhao definitely has no guts to kill, so I think there must be some misunderstanding in this."

Li Chengfeng's expression softened a little, and he asked him tentatively: "I see that Mr. Tang usually treats the two of them with fair words, how did he come up with such a thing?"

"Master Li's words are wrong. As teachers of the Imperial College, you and I, no matter who they are, are our students, and we should treat them equally. They are the ones who I watched studying in the Imperial College, and that's how it should be." Tang Zhenggang had no difficulty The slow down look became serious again.

Li Chengfeng saw the other party's fury, and hurriedly comforted him, coaxing left and right, and finally calmed him down.He wasn't very angry. After observing these days, Li Chengfeng had long known that Tang Zhenggang belonged to the hexagram of Daozizuidoufuxin, and he cared for the students of the Guozijian sincerely.As for why he targeted him in the first place, it was entirely because Ouyang Ming was old and Tang Zhenggang had devoted himself to the Imperial Academy for many years. It is reasonable to let him go a step further, and the official department also released the rumors early.As a result, he was cut off by Li Chengfeng halfway, and Li Chengfeng was still doing a job that had nothing to do with the Imperial College, which made him feel uncomfortable.

For people like him, Li Chengfeng has always admired him. Since the case was special, he didn't say much, but told him that he would handle the case impartially and give Qian Zhongyuan the truth.Then he asked casually: "Master Tang also said just now that Qian Zhongyuan and Chen Zhao have never admired them. Do you know why they are so?"

"Well..." Tang Zhenggang hesitated.

Li Chengfeng sensed something was wrong, originally he just asked casually, but he didn't expect something to happen, so he quickly said: "Master Tang, don't worry, it's just for investigating the case, I will definitely not spread it to the outside world."

After struggling for a while, Tang Zheng said just now: "This matter is a long story, I wonder if my lord knows that Qian Zhongyuan is engaged to the Wang family in the west of Chengxi."

Li Chengfeng nodded, he naturally knew about such an important matter.Although the Wang family in the west of the city is only a merchant's family, it is not an ordinary merchant.The owner of the family can be said to be the top number in the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce. Hu Zongxian is from Huizhou, and he talked about their family when chatting before.And the one who was betrothed to Qian Zhongyuan, although she was a concubine, was also overthrown by many people.

"Actually... the Wang family first fell in love with Chen Zhao."

"Ah?" Li Chengfeng was stunned, what kind of bloody plot is this.

Tang Zhenggang also seemed to be quite shameless about this matter, and continued: "The Wang family is powerful, and Chen Zhao was naturally quite happy to be able to join such a family. It turned out that the princess over there actually fell in love with him. Anyway, it was verbal. According to the agreement, the Chen family regretted the marriage on the pretext of being incompatible. After that, the Wang family chose Qian Zhongyuan as their son-in-law."

Frowning, Li Chengfeng really didn't expect such a show, so it seems that Chen Zhao can't be chosen, and it is really not a good match for Chunyin.But he, who had investigated Chen Zhao's background, didn't find out about it. How did Tang Zhenggang know about it?There is also the matter of Chen Zhao's son-in-law. Although Chen Xiaomei yelled loudly once or twice, it is still possible to keep the secret work on the whole. Li Chengfeng looked at the other party suspiciously.

Tang Zhenggang smiled wryly: "To be honest, my wife's natal family is the Prince's Mansion in the west of the city. After all, if Qian Zhongyuan really got married, he would still call me Uncle. Chen Zhao didn't believe what he said. The Wang family originally wanted to take revenge. Let me give you some pointers, and I just let it go when I learned that she is going to be elected as the son-in-law."

Li Chengfeng suddenly realized that this was the case.Thanks to Tang Zhenggang, he finally cleared up some thoughts, but he fell into a bigger mystery by chance.

A little Chen Zhao actually involved so many things.What role does the Wang family play in it?No matter what, he wouldn't kill his prospective son-in-law to blame him...

In the next few days, Li Chengfeng went to the prison in Shuntian Mansion to ask Chen Zhao himself, and the excuse he got was that he did buy the blunt weapon in the room, but he just wanted to teach Qian Zhongyuan a lesson, and he was exhausted. Humiliated after being knocked out.That day, he and Qian Zhongyuan made an appointment to find a hidden room to have a showdown. When he just opened the door, he saw Qian Zhongyuan lying on the ground, which made him scream out in fright.Then Luo Er and others broke in, and he himself couldn't explain it.

What Chen Zhao said was just and righteous, but it didn't mean anything.After Li Chengfeng asked more questions, he began to dodge.The prisoner himself did not cooperate, and Li Chengfeng had no choice.

And at this moment, Chen Xing, whom he met at the pier before, came to visit.

Li Chengfeng received him personally, and when Chen Xing saw him, he just gave a big gift without saying a word, "Master Jijiu, my younger brother can't be a murderer, I hope you will find out."

Another one came, and Li Chengfeng had a headache, but he still persuaded him with good words: "What are you doing, get up quickly! It doesn't matter whether you are a murderer or not. The key point is that all the evidence points to him at present, and the government can only do this identified."

Chen Xing lowered his head, and said after a while: "My lord, the grassroots have evidence!"

Li Chengfeng was shocked and asked him to speak quickly.

"Our Chen family has suffered from 'wheezing' since birth, and it's fine if I follow my mother. And Chen Zhao, his mother also has this disease, and has been very prone to it since birth. Don't talk about killing people, just holding them If you move something a little heavier, it will cause seizures, if you don’t believe me, adults can try it.”

Li Chengfeng was stunned. The so-called "wheeze" in Ming Dynasty refers to asthma.If both parents have this disease, then the child has a high probability of inheriting it. Why didn't you tell me about such a serious disease earlier?Immediately, he realized that this kid was afraid that his position as consort would be lost if he said it!Li Chengfeng is really angry this time, Chunyin is infatuated with him, and this man repays Chunyin like this, a dog has more conscience than him!

Chen Xing anxiously looked at Master Jijiu who was so angry and hated, "In this way, I can prove my brother's innocence."

Li Chengfeng looked at the person opposite him puzzled: "The Chen family treats you so well, yet you still think about them." Could it be the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary?

Shaking his head, Chen Xing laughed at himself and said: "I just don't want to owe him because that old thing has secretly funded me in recent years. Here, Chen Zhao is still good at home, although he has never helped I'm nothing, but I'm not an asshole like his mother and his sister."

He sighed secretly in his heart, but Chen Zhao himself might not be able to appreciate it afterwards, that strange man would still guard the position of son-in-law even if he was wronged.

In fact, at this stage, the case can basically be closed. It has been confirmed that Chen Zhao is not the murderer, and his dream of being a consort has also been extinguished.Li Chengfeng reported the matter to Jiajing, and the empress dowager was also very angry, and executed all the eunuchs who were in charge of the ceremony.

As for Chunyin, Li Chengfeng sighed in his heart, he didn't know what to say.Even though she knew that Chen Zhaoda had been lying to herself from the beginning, she still did not give up, and begged Zhu Houcong not to pursue his responsibility.

Empress Dowager Jiang and the emperor were softened by her crying, and finally had no choice but to agree to Chunyin's request.But in contrast, Chunyin must stop thinking about it, and honestly marry the son-in-law they designated, Chunyin agreed with tears.

Although the matter came to an end, the real culprit behind the murder of Qian Zhongyuan has not yet been found out. As a student of the Imperial College, he must not let his death be unknown. Li Chengfeng decided to continue to investigate with all his strength.In the end, before he could start, there was news that Chen Jiao, a former Ph.D. from the Imperial College, had disappeared.And in the hidden compartment of his room, Li Chengfeng's face changed drastically, the White Lotus Sect is not a trivial matter.In fact, since time travel, several turning points of his fate are actually related to the White Lotus Sect.For example, in Alda of Mongolia, Bailian taught his tribe a large number of medical talents and various craftsmen, enabling it to develop rapidly, and finally successfully attacked Ming Dynasty; All of them have the figure of the White Lotus Sect.

The Song Dynasty opposed the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty opposed the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty opposed the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty opposed the Qing Dynasty. Now it has grown to an unbelievable level, and they can be seen everywhere.

From what Chen Jiao left behind, Li Chengfeng gradually deduced what happened.

I don't know what the White Lotus Sect is planning. They need a student from the Imperial Academy.It is best for this person to have an average family background, few friends, and a weird personality, so that he is not afraid of being discovered.In the last round of selection, Chen Jiao locked his target on Qian Zhongyuan.At the beginning, things went smoothly. Qian Zhongyuan's heart is higher than the sky. He only needs a little guidance, and it will naturally develop into an offline.The two completed a certain task together, and after that, Chen Jiao still wanted to continue.Unexpectedly, Qian Zhongyuan got lucky and was chosen by the Wang family to be his son-in-law.

In fact, most people in this world are the same, if you are poor, you want to change.However, Qian Zhongyuan followed the path of the Wang family. In the future, the glory and wealth will not be exhausted, so there is no need to hang out with the White Lotus Sect and live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife, so he proposed to withdraw from the White Lotus Sect.

Knowing so many secrets in his body, there is no room for him to go.While comforting him, Chen Jiao secretly plotted to take his life.It happened that Chen Zhao appeared and became a scapegoat.He thought he did it seamlessly, but he didn't expect so many loopholes to be found out by God's will.As soon as Qian Zhongyuan was about to fall, wouldn't it be clear at a glance which teacher was closest to him? He had no choice but to escape early.

Although the official position of a doctor is not very high, it is still a seventh-rank grade, and it also bears the responsibility of teaching and educating people. Now it has also been infiltrated by a cult, and Zhu Houcong rarely lost his temper in the court.Ordering a thorough investigation of the entire officialdom, all suspects were brought down for questioning, Jin Yiwei led the order to dispatch collectively, and everyone was in danger for a while.But in the end, they actually picked out a few of them. Although they were all petty officials, it was shocking enough.

After dealing with the inner ghost, it's finally time for the princess to choose a relative.This time the Empress Dowager didn't dare to engage in free love any more, and checked every step of the way from the audition, and finally picked out three people.

In the end it was her own daughter, Jiang didn't want her to be unhappy in the future, so she was a little more democratic and let her choose from the three.Chun Yin's heart was ashamed, and she felt that this would be the case in her life, so she casually pointed it out.She still couldn't forget Chen Zhao, so she deliberately avoided the two people he imagined, and chose a completely different type.I saw that the man was tall, with a resolute face, and he seemed to be a calm person just by his appearance.The Empress Dowager Jiang hesitated and asked twice, and after getting a positive answer, she settled down happily. She looked through the man's profile and found that he was also a student of the Imperial College, but no matter how you looked at it, he was much better than that brat!Turn around and go to the emperor to ask for his will.

Li Chengfeng's mood was particularly complicated when he learned that the student he admired very much was going to marry the girl he had seen growing up since childhood.Xie Zhao, this kid, really took advantage of him.In fact, according to his thinking, at least he should give Chun Yin a buffer time to let her get out of the previous relationship.But there is no way, as a foreign minister, he can't even see the princess's face, let alone the princess's marriage.

Left and right Empress Dowager Jiang is Chunyin's biological mother, and she would not be harmed if she thinks about it. Besides, Chunyin is already ten years old, and the matter with Chen Zhao before has leaked some rumors, and there are many discussions between the government and the opposition.If it doesn't end, I'm afraid the people will react.Xie Zhao is generous and loyal, no matter where he is, he has a very good reputation, even Tang Zhenggang, who is always strict, is quite kind to him.Since he chose to sign up to be a son-in-law by himself, he wouldn't treat Chun Yin badly, so he had to do it first.

So Qin Tianjian set a good date, and not long after the year, Princess Yongchun Zhu Chunyin married her son-in-law Xie Zhao with great beauty.

Unexpectedly, just when everyone thought that Princess Yongchun would be like her sister, and her marriage would be a good story, news suddenly came out from the people.The princess wants to make peace with the son-in-law. It is said that the two went out for an outing that day. I don't know what happened. The princess stabbed the son-in-law with a sword, and then drove back to the palace overnight.

All of a sudden, non-governmental tabloid stories emerged one after another, with everything in them.Why does the princess think that the consort is not a good match, the concubine is roughly unbearable for the princess, and it is a little exaggerated to say that the consort is a woman.Although they didn't say it explicitly, they all insinuated to refer to Princess Yongchun and Xie Zhao.

Li Chengfeng picked up a book casually, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, it was all a mess.
