Back to ancient times selling biscuits

"You know him?" Zhen Qingming's heart trembled, subconsciously he didn't want Saburo to have anything to do with the murder.

Saburo raised his head to look at him, his eyes met each other, and seeing his eyes shining brightly, he wrote, how can you know the dead! ?Can't help but wonder, is this person worried about him?Thinking that it was very possible, Saburo wanted to laugh out loud, but the location was wrong, so he could only hold back, "Not only do I know it, but you also know it."

"Me?" Zhen Qingming frowned slightly, apparently not believing it. After carefully looking at the deceased, Mr. Zhen confirmed, "I don't know him."

"His name is Wang Laibao, and he often comes to my place to buy biscuits. On the first day you came to Taoyuan County, you came to sell biscuits without any money. Someone wanted to arrest you and bring you to the government. Do you remember?"

"It's him?" Zhen Qingming was penniless at that time, and took three sesame seed cakes at once. He felt ashamed and kept his head down. He didn't remember who was around, but he still remembered those words, "You know his family is in where?"

"I'll ask later." When a person dies, the family members will naturally have to claim it, and Zhen Qingming can also find out the relationship network of the deceased.So, without delay, he set up the table, lit the stove and started making sesame seed cakes. Whenever someone came to buy sesame seed cakes, Saburo would always say that there was a murder in the next street, and the deceased was Wang Laibao who liked to eat sesame seed cakes.

Hearing Sanlang talk about murder corpses and so on, everyone thought he was afraid, and advised him, "Don't get up so early in the future, and we will buy sesame seed cakes when we are about to eat breakfast."

"It's okay." Saburo said, "I just asked Grandma Sun to call the official, that has nothing to do with me."

"You can't say that." The person who came to buy sesame seed cakes said, "Master Zhen is so powerful, he can solve the case in at most three days, what can you do if the murderer's family takes revenge on you?"

"There are so many people from the newspaper office." Saburo saw the disapproving eyes of everyone, "Don't worry, I will ask the adults later and let him give me an idea."

It's a pity that adults are also worried at this time.

When Zhen Qingming inspected the scene in the past, he would tell when the deceased started and what the murder weapon was, but this time, when he saw the wounds on the deceased, he ordered someone to carry the body back to the county government, not Yizhuang.

San Lang asked Mrs. Sun to inquire about the latest progress of the case, but she didn't hear anything from her. San Lang was surprised that the case was unusual.After lunch, San Lang gave up his lunch break, skipped to the back hall of the county government office, and when he entered, he saw Wang Laibao's body in the middle, and Zhen Qingming frowned.Can't help but ask, "Is it troublesome?"

Zhen Qingming was startled, "Why are you here? Go back quickly."

"Why?" As soon as the words came out, Saburo had a flash of inspiration, "I don't know, or is this case involving me?"

"nothing dealing with you."

"So it involves you?" San Lang's face changed slightly when he thought of this possibility, "Then the lord should tell me." If his lord has something to do but he avoids it, then what kind of man is he.

"Go home, you have nothing to do here." Zhen Qingming pushed him away as he spoke.

If he said a few words casually, he might be able to fool San Lang, but the more he behaved like this, the more San Lang would not leave.Holding the door frame with his hands, Zhen Qingming tossed and sweated, but he couldn't shake him at all.

How can an elegant scholar be the opponent of the boxing champion? Saburo's training for the past two months is not for nothing, "My lord, just tell me. Based on our relationship, if you are involved, I don't want to stay out of it."

"You!" Zhen Qingming gave him a sharp look, "Okay! Let me tell you, it's a sword wound!" Pointing to the wound, "Do you see it, I'll kill you with a single blow."

Saburo was startled, "Who is the murderer? Robbers and bandits? Gangsters? Isn't Wang Laibao a native of Taoyuan County? How could he offend someone with a sword?"

"It wasn't him who provoked him. He was killed casually." Zhen Qingming took out something as he spoke, "I found this in a corner not far from him."

Saburo stretched out his hand to take it, his index finger was long and his second finger was wide, it looked like an iron token, "Do you know him?"

"My brother-in-law used to be a guard with a knife. I was fortunate enough to hear him say that this is the badge of the guard of the Eastern Palace." After Zhen Qingming finished speaking, Saburo was so surprised that he couldn't speak, "East, Eastern Palace? The prince's man!"

Zhen Qingming nodded.

"Why are the prince's people here? Could it be, could it be that they came to assassinate the prince?" San Lang said the last four words in a very low voice.

"I don't know either." Zhen Qingming sighed, "According to the family and friends of the deceased, the deceased had a drink at a friend's house last night and left around midnight. When you found the deceased, his body was already a little cold. It is estimated that the deceased was killed around midnight.

The deceased had told his family yesterday that he might be late at night, which was in line with what the deceased's friends had said.From the surroundings of the body, I can conclude that the place where you found the deceased is the first crime scene.

"Then it has nothing to do with Yu Wei?" Saburo asked.

"Yes, the girl in the flower building and Mr. Gui can prove that Yu Weiyin came out of Huajie at that time." Zhen Qingming added, "I just restored the scene with the servant Cao, and the deceased was half drunk and half awake and kicked to the ground. The token, the token hit the wall with a sound, combined with the fact that the deceased was lying on the ground with his legs bent when he died, he should have squatted down and bent over to see what he had kicked after hearing the sound.

It was this series of actions that attracted the attention of those people, and the deceased died in vain on the street. "

"Only these?" Saburo hurriedly asked.

"There were no traces of fighting at the scene. Yesterday was the Dragon Boat Festival again. Everyone played like crazy. People living around the crime scene said that they slept soundly yesterday and stayed up all night." The surrounding residents have been checked one by one, but no witnesses have been found yet.”

"Then what should we do now? Continue to investigate?" Saburo was a little worried about him.

Zhen Qingming shook his head, "These people are clearly targeting the lord, I have to ask the lord first, don't turn around and ruin his business."

"Are you going in person?" Saburo saw him nodding after speaking, and blurted out, "I'll be with you!"

"It's very close to Qingzhou Mansion, and I'm the palace of the imperial court. Even if they knew that I was looking for the prince, they wouldn't dare to intercept me halfway." Seeing Sanlang staring at him and wanting to go with him, Zhen Qingming felt sour and astringent, and soon Only later did he realize that it was called moving!However, he still did not give up persuading, "Those people don't care who they killed, and they will most likely forget about it."

"How can you be so careless about human life?" San Lang's eyes straightened when he heard this.

"Nothing is impossible." Zhen Qingming patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, and then asked Dong Lai to find a carriage.And Saburo heard that the prince's people were so lawless, so he climbed into the carriage first.

Zhen Qingming couldn't resist him, maybe subconsciously wanted Sanlang to be with him, so they set off with a knife each and four yamen servants.

As the road got wider and wider, Sanlang finally saw the city wall. Qingzhou Mansion was indeed the state capital, and the city gate alone was more than twice the size of Taoyuan County.

A group of people walked on the street, looking at the bustling streets, Saburo couldn't help feeling, "Why is there a war?"

"Where there are people, there will be struggles, which are unavoidable." Zhen Qingming took out the greeting card and handed it to the guards outside Prince Duan's mansion.

The guards met Zhen Qingming once before, and they didn't dare to delay, so they went straight to the inner courtyard where King Duan lived.

Duan Wang opened the letter and stood up suddenly, making the man beside him startled, "Be careful, be careful!"

"Invite him in quickly." Duan Wang seemed to have never heard of it, staring at the pattern drawn on the paper and frowning, not daring to guess what the visitor meant.

Prince Duan's Mansion is not as extravagant as Saburo imagined, the mansion is quite big, different from the mansions he has seen in previous travels.There is only one big garden in the mansion, there are no rockery, strange rocks, small bridges and flowing water in the garden, and half of it is still empty. Seeing the wooden stakes standing on the ground, Saburo asked in a low voice, "My lord knows martial arts?"

"Children of the royal family must learn the six arts of a gentleman." Zhen Qingming was regarded as a "judge" when he was in the capital, and he still has some insight.

When they saw King Duan himself, Master Zhen dared to look directly at Long Yan when he was six years old, and he was too shocked to speak by the scene in front of him.

Saburo didn't have much fear of the imperial power. After saluting, he couldn't help asking, "Are you a man?" Looking at the person opposite, he murmured, "Is it King Duan?"

"These words are interesting, don't you want to see this king?" Duan Wang couldn't help laughing when he saw his big and round eyes.

"But, but your belly?" No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are five or six months pregnant.

Duan Wang nodded, and said very calmly, "There is no need to doubt, the fact is like this."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a "plop", Sanlang's buttocks came into close contact with the floor, causing Duan Wang to laugh out loud, and at the same time awakened Master Zhen.

Zhen Qingming helped him up, then took out the token hidden in his waist, and told about the murder case in Taoyuan County, and finally said, "I have been wondering why the prince's people suddenly couldn't hold back. It turns out that the prince has something to do." Pregnant."

Holding the small token, King Duan chuckled, "There was a visitor last night, but he withdrew before touching the gate of the courtyard. I wondered who was impatient, but I didn't expect it to be the dog of His Highness the Crown Prince!"

San Lang shuddered when he heard the sound of Duan Wang gnashing his teeth.

On the contrary, Zhen Qingming didn't feel much, "My lord, please ask for instructions regarding this case."

"What does Master Zhen plan to do?" Duan Wang asked back.

"Did the deceased be done by passing bandits?" Zhen Qingming said anxiously.

Standing by King Duan's side, the young man who hadn't said a word "puchi" laughed, "I really deserve to be a famous judge in the capital, it's hard for you to think of it."

"General Ye, what do you say, I will listen to you." Zhen Qingming's face turned bitter, and Saburo didn't understand.

"The deceased was committed by the guards of the Eastern Palace. It is easy to keep this token. Later, I will ask the magistrate to hand over the case to the Ministry of Punishment. It has nothing to do with you." Duan Wang said.

"How is it possible!" Saburo looked directly at the two people opposite, "Lord Zhen's relatives are all in the capital, once the case is submitted, the crown prince will not let them go, it has a lot to do with it!"

"Master Zhen's friend is very loyal." General Ye gave him an extra look, "Then what do you think we should do?"

What San Lang still doesn't understand at this time, these two masters must expose the fact that the prince sent people to Qingzhou, even if they disagree, there is no other way.From the corner of the eye, he caught sight of Duan Wang's protruding belly, "You must ensure the safety of everyone in Zhen's residence."

"Sanlang, don't talk nonsense." Zhen Qingming stretched out his hand and pulled him behind him, "My lord, I don't mean to be an official."

"This king has that intention." After King Duan finished speaking, Zhen Qingming suddenly raised his head, not daring to imagine, is it what he thought.
