Assassin peach does not change

It actually slipped from under the nose again.

Jian Jia felt that the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became dull, even though Jiang Youbi was originally a dull and serious person with a serious face all day long.

But as soon as he entered Yuezhou, he was teased by Tao Buchang. As the proud son of heaven, Master Jiang must be very upset.

Jian Jia didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke Jiang Youpan, so she could only shrink in the corner and watch the scenery outside the carriage, silent all the way.

Since they decided to investigate Zhang Nian's case, they must go to the crime scene to take a look.

Jiang Yousi didn't want to intervene directly, so he asked the coachman to drive directly to Zhang's mansion, intending to visit the site in the name of worship and investigate clues.

The entrance of Zhang's mansion is already covered with white curtains, white lanterns and white flowers.

Jiang Yousi claimed to be a friend of Zhang Niannian who came to express his condolences, and the old man at the door quickly let them in.

Zhang's mansion is a three-entry house, which looks simple and poorly furnished, and it has become a haunted house before the owner lives in it.

The mourning hall is located in the front yard, but the yard is not popular and looks bleak, but a few trees grow lush and green, blocking the sunlight in the yard, making it look overcast and make people feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Nian's body had just been transported back, and it was buried behind a black curtain in the front yard.

The guests who came to express their condolences could only stay in front of the hall at most, and give up after offering incense and condolences to their families.

Although he is a fourth-rank salt envoy, he can be regarded as an important member of one party, but after all, he is new here, and his relatives and friends are all out of town.

Therefore, there was no one in front of the mourning hall, and the one guarding his mourning was the main house Mrs. Zhou who had just arrived in the early morning after running around day and night.

Zhou was dressed in sackcloth and looked haggard. He was kneeling in front of the mourning hall, staring numbly at the ground.

Although the Zhou family is over thirty years old, she has been well maintained, and she can be regarded as a charming woman in a filial piety dress.

In terms of appearance, he is not inferior to others, but it is said that he has a strong personality and often quarrels with Zhang Nian, so he was left out in the cold.

Jiang Yousi bowed to her: "My surname is Jiang. I am a salt merchant. I used to have contacts with Mr. Zhang. Recently, I just heard that Mr. Zhang had an accident in Yuezhou, so I came to express my condolences."

Zhou raised her face, without a trace of emotion in her empty eyes, she bowed her head in thanks and said, "Thank you Mr. Jiang."

There was no ups and downs in the voice, like a puppet on the verge of death, no more words.

Jiang Yousi walked to the mourning hall, took incense and bowed in worship, and whispered to Jian Jia: "Jian Jia, pretend to be dizzy."

Jian Jia: "Huh?"

Jiang Youpan reached out and pinched her wrist quickly, Jian Jia let out a loud cry, and then fell limply into Jiang Youpan's arms.

Seeing this scene suddenly, Mrs. Zhou came back to her senses and asked, "What's wrong with this young master?"

Jiang Youpan said apologetically: "Maybe our road was bumpy and cumbersome, and she suffered from some wind and cold and was exhausted.

I wonder if it is possible to borrow a wing room in the backyard?I'll find a place to let her lie down for a while and it will be fine. "

Mrs. Zhou hesitated for a moment, got up and came over to look at Jian Jia, first opened her eyelids, and then stretched out her hand to feel her pulse.

Seeing her familiar movements of taking the pulse, Jiang Youpan fixed his eyes.

Mrs. Zhou said: "There are vacant rooms in the backyard, you two please go to your own devices." After setting up this side, Mrs. Zhou knelt and sat on the side of the mourning hall, watching the mourning expressionlessly facing the empty mourning hall.

Jiang Yousi was helping Jian Jia to go to the backyard when he bumped into a person from the side door.

A nanny with a young child came towards her. Seeing Jiang Youpan and Jian Jia, she paused for a while, and because the child was crying, she had no choice but to hold the child in front of Mrs. Zhou and said, "Ma'am, Miss is really fussy and wants to see you. I can only bring her here."

The young lady is only two or three years old, she looks very cute, and looks somewhat similar to Zhou's.

Jiang Yousi turned his head and asked, "So Master Zhang has a daughter?"

Zhou explained: "Ya Ya is not my biological daughter, she is my niece, she likes to follow me."

After speaking, I hugged Yaya, and sure enough, after hugging, the little girl who was crying with snot and tears all over her face actually calmed down.

The nanny Li has been sizing up Jiang Youban and Jian Jia, "Who is this young master?"

"They are friends of the adults. They came to express their condolences. The fatigue of the journey is too much for this young man, so I decided to lend them a room in the backyard to rest for a while, and I will leave immediately." Zhou said.

The nurse opened her mouth and was about to speak, when she heard the baby girl in Zhou's arms suddenly cry loudly and loudly, "Wow--", the cry was ear-piercing and deafening.

Mrs. Zhou was also taken aback, as if she didn't know what happened.

Yaya cried with snot and tears, and the cry was louder than when she was carried in.

Mrs. Zhou frowned, and the nanny was also surprised: "What's the matter, in the past crying and screaming would calm down as long as Madam hugged her, but now it doesn't work?"

Jian Jia secretly opened her eyes to look, but Jiang Youpan forcibly pressed her on her shoulder.

Jian Jia smelled a scent of sandalwood on her body, felt comfortable and enjoying it, and her heart was pounding.

When we arrived at the backyard, we found that the room where the murder happened was right opposite the door.All the people were busy cleaning up the vigil in the front yard. People from the government had already come to investigate, took some evidence and transported the corpse.

Jian Jia said: "There are a total of three corpses, two large, one small, and three. Why are only Zhang Nian's corpses sent back but not the corpses of the side room and the blood baby?"

Jiang Yousi explained: "Zhang Nian was an official of the imperial court, and he was ordered by the emperor. His body needs to be encoffined completely after inspection, otherwise it will violate the etiquette.

But his concubine and the identity of the blood baby are different, and the murder is weird, so naturally there is no such preferential treatment. "

"Then where are their bodies now?"

"It should still be kept in the Yizhuang of the government." After Jiang Youpan replied, he tore off the seal, opened the door and entered, and was greeted with a pungent smell of blood. Jiang Youpan covered his nose and said in a muffled voice, "Wait After inspecting the murder scene and inspecting Zhang Nian's corpse, we will go to Yizhuang to inspect the two corpses."

"Hmm..." Jian Jia followed Jiang Youpan to look around the house, "Since Zhang Nian's corpse has already been inspected, the person in charge of the inspection must have the inspection documents, why not just ask for the documents but re-examine?"

Jiang Yousi stood in front of a blood-stained wooden bed, stared at the blood stains on it, and replied to Jian Jia, "The inspector of the government office is timid about the body and dare not make a fuss. In order to prevent omissions, I need to take you to personally examine the body." Only then can you rest assured."

Looking at Jiang Youpan's serious face, Jian Jia knew in her heart that this was a responsible official, and the previous doubts and hesitation towards her were dispelled.

So he nodded and readily agreed: "Okay, I will examine it carefully for you then."

The two checked the surroundings of the room. There was originally a window, but it had been sealed. It had been a while since the dust had accumulated on the window sill. It was impossible for someone to sneak into the room without breaking the latch.

Even if there are people, they should enter through the gate.

But at that time, there were people outside the gate, except for the temporary Wen Po, there were only Zhang Nian and Zhang Nian's side room in the house. Could it be that the blood baby really killed people?

After inspecting the surrounding environment, Jian Jia asked: "The only person who survived is the temporary woman Wen, could it be her?"

Jiang Yousi said: "We can't draw a conclusion yet."

Nothing was found at the scene of the crime, and Jian Jia was a little depressed.

Jiang Yousi and she returned to the courtyard and found a peach tree here.

Jian Jia raised her head and said, "The climate in Yuezhou is not suitable for planting peach trees. Who was the original owner of this house and why did they plant peach trees?"

"I don't know..." Jiang Youpan discovered a small hidden hole behind the peach tree, and it was difficult for people to get through. Only animals like cats and dogs could get in and out, but it looked dilapidated. "

Jian Jia saw her staring at the small hole, so she walked over and bent over to have a look, "My lord, this place seems to be facing the street."

Jiang Yousi stared at the small hole for a long time, and said, "Let's go, we'll come back at night."

When the two left the house, they happened to meet the nanny leading Yaya to the street. Yaya held a melted Monkey King sugar figure in her hand and yelled, which was sharper and harsher than before.

At this moment, Yaya has washed up, and her powdered milk face is very cute.

Watching the nanny walk away with Yaya, Jiang Youban was thoughtful.

Jian Jia had already found out where the mad woman Wen lived, and led Jiang Yousi to find a secluded and dilapidated house.

It is not so much a house as it is a temporary shed.There is wind and rain leaking everywhere, and the people who live in it may be in financial difficulties.

No one answered the knock on the door, Jian Jia pushed the door open, but was startled by a crazy old woman who suddenly appeared when the crack in the door was exposed.

Jiang Yousi supported Jian Jia, then looked at Po Wen with cloudy eyes and said, "Are you the Po Wen who delivered the baby for the Zhang family?"

The old woman stared at her, opened the door and said hissingly: "That little devil in the Zhang family is a kid from hell, hahaha, he is here to ask for his life, he is here to ask for his life!"

Jiang Youpan didn't give her a chance to close the door, he stuck his foot in the crack of the door, and squeezed in.

Jian Jia was also very clever, and broke into the old woman's house with Jiang Yousi along the way.

Although it looks dilapidated from the outside, there is another mystery inside.

Jiang Youpan saw that the old woman was wearing coarse cloth clothes, but a corner of gorgeous silk and satin was faintly exposed on the collar, obviously she was wearing new clothes underneath.

The wooden frame placed in the house hides moths, but the copper basin on the wooden frame is brand new.

Jian Jia also noticed all this, and decided in her heart that the old woman must have been bribed to pretend to be crazy.

So he stepped forward to threaten the old woman: "I know you are not crazy, this is Dali Temple's Tui Cheng Jiang Yousi Jiang, who came to investigate the case by order.

If you still have a way to survive by confessing honestly now, and if you still think that you can deceive us by pretending to be crazy, then come with us to the government office and see if your old bones can withstand dozens of boards! "

Seeing that she was exposed, the old woman widened her cloudy eyes and said tremblingly, "Are you a senior official of Dali Temple?"

Jiang Yousi nodded.

The old woman trembled and said: "It's over, everything is over..."

Jian Jia was in a hurry: "Quickly tell me everything you know."

The old woman said: "I was a stable woman in this street, and I was responsible for delivering babies in the neighborhood. One day, someone came to my door and said that there was a concubine in the house of a new senior official who needed to deliver babies, and asked me to go.

I was not very willing to take on this kind of errand. If there is a problem with the concubine of the big official's house, I can't make a name for it with this little skill, so I avoid it as much as I can.

But the man took me away directly, took me to the gate of Zhang's mansion, and gave me ten taels of silver as a reward.

Where have I seen so much silver?So I took it and went into the room alone, and saw a baby coming out of the belly of the side room, and then the high official also came in, the door was closed at some time, and the baby was tortured to death in the side room first , then jumped on the neck of the senior official and bit him, pulled the intestines of the side room and strangled the senior official, and finally came to scratch me again. I passed out later, and when I woke up, I found that everyone inside was dead. all dead..."
