Tang Dynasty detective

Zhen Ziyu took two quick steps, caught up with Di Jinghong, raised his hand and brought the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to his mouth, "Taste it, it's so sweet." The two of them stood on the street, Zhen Ziyu had no scruples at all, and there was something in his eyes With stars, coaxing people wholeheartedly.

Di Jinghong turned his head to avoid it, and muttered sullenly, "Don't eat."

How could he have the mind to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, his heart felt like a big stone was crushed, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and his mind was filled with the way that bastard looked at Yen Ziyu, shamelessly and extremely disgusting.He swore to himself that before leaving Yangzhou, he must give that bastard some color.

Yen Ziyu knew that he did this because of himself, and he didn't scold him as usual, but put the osmanthus cake back to his mouth in a soft voice with a smile, "Try it~Taste it."

Di Jinghong couldn't resist him, so he opened his mouth and bit him.Liu Boen had a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his mouth, but forgot to chew it, and poked Zhang Yuqing with his elbow like a fool.

Zhang Yuqing also took a piece and threw it into his mouth, saying, "What are you looking at, let's go."

It wasn't until Di Jinghong, who was blowing his hair, calmed down and took the initiative to grab food with Liu Boen, Zhang Yuqing pulled Zhen Ziyu and asked, "Who did you fight with just now?"

Zhen Ziyu said: "The man said his name is Ouyang Jianguang. He seems to be a merchant's young master. He has a very arrogant temper. Jing Hong is angry with him, not with you."

Zhang Yuqing said: "Have you met the Ouyang family?"

Zhen Ziyu told Zhang Yuqing the general situation, omitting Ouyang Jianguang's unreasonableness towards him, and then asked: "Brother Yuqing, did you have any contact with Ouyang's family?" It seems that this Ouyang surname is quite famous, Zhang Yuqing They all know each other, they must be from a rich family.

Zhang Yuqing said: "No. However, the Ouyang family is a big local salt merchant with a wealth of wealth and strong strength. Even the governor of Yangzhou must be afraid of it."

Zhen Ziyu said: "So that's the case, no wonder that person is so arrogant." He thought in his heart, he had to tell Di Jinghong a few words, let the matter pass, don't think about revenge and cause trouble.Yen Ziyu is not a shy person, but there is really no need to get involved with that kind of brazen person.

……

When the four arrived at the home of the missing person, Lu Lin, they were all speechless.It stands to reason that Zhen Ziyu has seen the world, but he did not expect that the home of a retail salt merchant would be so luxurious.Lu Lin's life was extravagant, with many wives and concubines, and many servants.Yen Ziyu looked at the big house, creating the universe within a few feet, he was really a person who would enjoy himself.

Lu Lin is 35 years old, and he is from the same hometown as the governor of Yangzhou.

According to the descriptions of the neighbors, the Lu family was originally from Wuxi. There was once an imperial concubine in the family, who once had great power in the palace. Especially after Dezong succeeded to the throne, the imperial concubine was deeply liked by Dezong. When going to Chang'an to do business, you often need to go through the management of the Lu family. Although Lu Lin is just an illegitimate son of a foreign house, as the family status rises, he has more and more rights to use and has accumulated a lot of wealth.Later, the imperial concubine fell out of favor, and the Lu family also lost their power. Lu Lin was a smart and cunning person, and spent money to manage many relationships in Chang'an. Earn more pot full.The people in the Lu family mansion were jealous and often made trouble for Lu Lin. Later, Lu Lin took his property and went to Yangzhou to live a luxurious life.

Lu Lin's entourage said that the last time he saw Lu Lin was in the afternoon. Lu Lin drank tea and talked with a few friends, and then went back to the mansion. On the left and right, at the gate of the mansion... The entourage glanced at Lu Lin's wife, and dared not continue talking.

Di Jinghong asked: "What happened at the gate of the mansion?"

I never dare to speak.

The lady said: "I'm asking you something, tell the truth, dare to make a mistake and pull it out to feed the dogs."

Di Jinghong said with a smile: "Hey dog...it's not possible, it's not possible."

The eldest lady is in her early thirties, and it is reasonable to say that she is also at an age when her charm is at its peak, but this lady does not have charm, but she does have fierceness.Madam's appearance is not outstanding, her words are sharp, her eyes are sharp, she is by no means an ordinary person.Standing beside the eldest lady was a son, aged seventeen or eighteen, who was Lu Lin's son, Lu Changfu.

The entourage was trembling with fear from the eldest lady, he said no, and he didn't say no, he weighed it over and over again, seeing that he couldn't hide it, he gritted his teeth and said it.According to the entourage, when Lu Lin arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw the eldest lady from a distance, and hurried to Lotus Lane.

The eldest lady was suddenly furious, and the table slapped loudly.

Yen Ziyu thought about it carefully, but he didn't remember hearing the name Lotus Alley. There were so many alleys in Yangzhou and they were thin, and a name popped up out of nowhere, so it was hard to figure out where it was.Everyone was puzzled, so they all looked at Zhang Yuqing. After all, he was the person with the most experience in handling cases down the mountain.Zhang Yuqing was confused, and everyone looked at the eldest lady again.

The eldest lady stared at Lu Lin's entourage, gritted her teeth and said, "Since you are tired of work, then I will fulfill you."

The attendant was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, wanting to beg for mercy, his teeth were trembling, and he couldn't speak a whole sentence.Two servants came up from the left and right, and if they pulled him, they wanted to drag him outside.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuqing said to the eldest lady: "He is a key witness, we are still useful, please forgive me." Zhang Yuqing didn't need to talk nonsense with the eldest lady, if he wanted to keep him, no one could resist him.But, after all, he took other people's money and was away from home, just as Zhen Ziyu said, try not to cause trouble.

The eldest lady waved her hand, and the servants threw Lu Lin's entourage to the ground.

Zhang Yuqing cupped her fists and motioned for Di Jinghong to take the man away.

They have checked the big house of the Lu family. They said it was a house, but it was actually a garden. They searched inside and out and spent most of the day.Liu Boen used dozens of sketches.

After leaving the Lu family mansion, the four of them found a secluded tea house, Zhang Yuqing looked away expressionlessly, Liu Boen concentrated on sorting out the sketches, Yen Ziyu asked questions, and Di Jinghong took notes.Yen Ziyu was polite to others, instead of going straight to the point, he clasped his fists first and said, "What's your name, brother?"

Lu Lin's entourage was overwhelmed by the flattery, he quickly stood up and bowed in return, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Zhen Ziyu said: "Don't be afraid, we will protect you."

The man still didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhen Ziyu said again: "After the case is solved, we will send you out of Yangzhou."

Then the man said: "The younger one's name is Zhu Er."

Zhen Ziyu said: "Zhu Er, why didn't you dare to tell the truth in front of the eldest lady just now?"

Zhu Er saw that Yen Ziyu was easy-going, so he was not afraid, "You don't know, the lady hated that guy from Lotus Lane so much that his toothache hurt, and she almost skinned and cramped him. Who dares to mention that guy in the house, just drag him out to beat him up?" board."

Yen Ziyu knew the things about the mansion best. He lived in a big family since he was a child, and his father took over the fourth house, and he had a lot of quarrels all day long, but even so, it was a bit too vicious to talk about skinning and cramp. .

Zhen Ziyu said: "Where did the theory of peeling and cramping come from? I saw several concubines in the house, aren't they all alive and well?"

Lu Lin looked left and right, afraid that the partition wall seemed to have ears, he looked around for a while before compose himself, and said in a low voice, "You don't know, the man in Lotus Lane is... a gentleman."

Yen Ziyu's handsome eyebrows frowned into a line.

Zhu Erdao: "The lady's family was originally a famous family in Wuxi, but my master is actually... an illegitimate son from a foreign house. The lady is considered to be married, and she has an arrogant personality. There are a few concubines, but they all have to obey her orders eagerly, and no one has ever dared to show their heads. The year before last, there was one who did not know what to do, and the body was carried out not long after."

Yen Ziyu doesn't like the title "Illegitimate Son from Outside the House". Someone said that to Ninth Brother, hearing these four words, Ninth Brother Shu Lang's brows would frown.

Yen Ziyu said: "The one in Lotus Lane refuses to accept?"

Zhu Erdao: "Not only is he disobedient, but because he has some relationship with Ouyang Jianguang, he doesn't take the lady seriously at all."

Hearing the name "Ouyang Jianguang", before Zhen Ziyu could ask any questions, Di Jinghong, who was obediently taking notes, suddenly threw his pen, breathed out his nostrils, and said, "Why is that bastard again."

Zhu Er was taken aback by him for a moment, but he didn't take it seriously. It's normal for someone to look down on Ouyang Jianguang, a domineering person. At least ninety percent of people in Yangzhou City don't look up to him.

Zhen Ziyu glared at Di Jinghong, beckoning him to be calm, then turned to Zhu Er and asked, "What is the connection between the Ouyang family in Hehua Lane, and how did you know Lu Lin?"

Zhu Erdao: "The man in Lotus Lane is named Xiao Yanfeng. He was originally Ouyang Jianguang's man. At a banquet, Ouyang Jianguang gave him to my master. Xiao Yanfeng is a capable person who served my master. Comfortable and comfortable, since I got this baby, the master has been running to Lotus Lane all day long. After the lady heard the wind, she made a fuss. She made a fuss, but she didn't dare to really do anything to Xiao Yanfeng, that's why she hated it. .”

Zhen Ziyu said: "Could it be that Xiao Yanfeng is stepping on two boats?"

Zhu Erdao: "That kind of person is more than just stepping on two boats? Xiao Yanfeng is a common thing for Ouyang Jianguang's gang. It's just that Ouyang Jianguang has had new fun recently, and he doesn't like him anymore. After all, he can't look down on him, he can put down his body and drill into that circle, and he can always say a few words in front of Ouyang Jianguang. Ouyang Jianguang is the youngest son of the Ouyang family's shopkeeper, and the eldest son of the Lu family. God of Wealth, no matter how much the lady hates her, she has to weigh it carefully."

Yen Ziyu saw that Ouyang Jianguang was at most about 20 years old, but he didn't expect that he would do evil like this, playing with good people for fun, and he became more and more disgusted with him.Without Di Jinghong beating someone up, Yen Ziyu wanted to beat him up.

Zhen Ziyu said: "That day, after Lu Lin had a drink, he returned to the mansion. He was afraid that the lady would trouble him, so he turned around and went to Lotus Lane, didn't he?"

Zhu Erdao: "Yes."

Zhen Ziyu said: "Did you follow?"

Zhu Erdao: "No, I sent the master to the entrance of the alley and returned. Xiaoyanfeng's house is full of his own people. They spend all day long in the house and don't let others in."

Zhen Ziyu asked, "When did you find out that Lu Lin was missing?"

Zhu Erdao: "At noon the next day, the eldest lady reported to the government at that time, but the government searched for several days, but they didn't even find anyone."

Zhen Ziyu said, "What did Xiao Yanfeng say?"

Zhu Erdao: "He said that the master got up early and left. There are witnesses."

Zhen Ziyu said: "Go, go and meet the witness."

Zhen Ziyu watched, although this Zhu Er was Lu Lin's follower, he was not loyal to the Lu family, but he could knock out a lot of useful things from him, so he had to be optimistic.
