Suspect in Jinling

The flowers bloom in warm spring, and the Jinling flowers in March bloom very fast, as if the flower fairies had discussed it, and they bloomed overnight.

The Pang Mansion case was handled smoothly. In the past, the faster the case was solved, the more the rewards would be. The big figures who knew about it did not say anything publicly, but in private they sent the rewards to Kuang Jian. A thank-you gift was sent in his own name, and the gift was delivered directly to Ying Tianfu, which created a big scene. Kuang Jian kept a copy for himself, and distributed the rest to Ying Tianfu's servants. His heroic deeds were widely disseminated, saying that how he singled out the murderer with a single word, and Xiao Kuang was the best at arresting the head.

Fourth Master boasted too ostentatiously, turned around and bumped into Master Li who had just come out.

A group of servants in Yingtian Mansion and the books in each house were in full swing with their rewards. Seeing this, they took a breath and hid the silver cakes in their hands behind them, forming a row of cabbage gangs.

Mr. Li was too majestic, they held their breaths and did not dare to move, but Mr. Yin of his house only gave Kuang a majestic look, let out a "cough", and then turned around and walked away.

Everyone was baffled at first, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Fu Yin has been busy with the Jinling Spring Examination recently and has no time to care about these villains!"

At this point, the fourth master praised Kuang Jian for being more and more unscrupulous, and worked hard for several days in a row.

Cheng Dabin, Zhang Hua and the others are old team members, and they are convinced by Kuang Jian without needing to be told by the fourth master. Qian Jin is a newcomer not long ago. Originally, he was buried in the pile of old papers all day long and dreamed of going out to work. This time he was lucky. After walking around, he knew the difficulty of Ying Tianfu's handling of the case. Kuangtou solved the case so neatly on his own, and with the embellishment of the fourth master, his admiration and admiration for a while was as straight as the water of the Yellow River.

Kuang Jian had a headache, and when he stayed in the yamen, he felt that Qian Jin's eyes were shining blue when he saw him, like a rabbit thinking about wolves, seeing the sky circling around his ass.

"Hey!"

After hearing what he said, the fourth master focused eight miles away, and he agreed very much: "Yes! He is like a rabbit out of the cage. He walks with his upper body leaning forward and his head bowed. He just walks like this, bouncing... ..."

Fourth master is disrespectful to old people, saying that it's not counted, he still has to learn.

Coincidentally, the little rabbit happily walked in with a stack of papers, and bumped into this spectacle head-on——

"Fourth, fourth master..."

Qian Jin Baozi's face suddenly turned red, the color was bright, and he seemed to be able to spurt blood.

Rao fourth master was thick-skinned and froze when he saw this.

Kuang Jian rested his forehead, pressed the first delivery list of Suzhou Mansion's angelica under his hand, and deeply felt that it would be a disaster to live in the same house as Yang Tuiguan.

In the short silence, he was the first to speak out, "Come here, I was looking for you."

Qian Jin didn't know what he had caused, and moved in with a blushing face.

Kuang Jian looked at him and rubbed his chin: "On the [-]th day, you and Brother Cheng escorted Zhu Shi out of Huifu Street. Did you meet someone from Jinyiwei on the way?"

"Ah?" Qian Jin didn't know why he suddenly thought of this matter, nodded, "Yes."

Kuang Jian: "Did you tell them about our progress in solving the case?"

Qian Jin was puzzled, "Yes, they asked me, so I said..." At this point, no matter how stupid he was, he couldn't react, and his whole body froze.

Seeing his expression, Kuang Jian tapped her knuckles on the table with a "boom".

"Thought it out, Jiang Xingzheng got the news of you when he came to rob people in the yamen that day. The mansion doesn't expect you to use knives and guns, but to dig you up for you to use your brains. "

Qian Jin didn't want to be embarrassed anymore, his face turned from red to white, and he felt ashamed immediately.

Fourth master glanced at Kuang Jian, then at Qian Jin, you are so ruthless, knowing that this little gray rabbit admires you, you don't have to make mistakes, right?

"Oh... that's fine," Fourth Master came over leisurely to be a good person, put his hand on Gray Rabbit's shoulder, and comforted him: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. Just pay more attention in the future. We should be more strict about news from our own people." , you go to the household room to wipe half a month's monthly salary as punishment, Kuangtou, do you have any objection?"

Kuang Jian was noncommittal, gave a muffled "hmm" and continued to work on his desk.

The fourth master hastily collected the stack of papers in Qian Jin's hand, pushed the dejected little rabbit out, bit his ear and told him not to come near Kuang Jian, and then closed the door to block the noise outside the house, turned around and walked away He picked up the incense powder from the top shelf of the pavilion, took a spoonful and poured it into the incense burner.

"What's your situation recently? Such a bad temper?"

The good location of Yingtian Mansion is the hearing hall, the main hall and the side rooms are all occupied by the common people and the official office. The sporadic good rooms, except for the office of Mr. Fu Yin, only the water room for overnight rest. Hands, even Fourth Master's office is always cold and cold, and it will accumulate a musty smell over time, and Xiao Kuang Catcher is very sensitive to smells, so he has to burn incense every now and then.

"Yes." Kuang Jian managed to squeeze out two words, but his reaction was cold and he didn't lift his head.

"Yes, it's been more than ten days, you see Tian'er is frowning, and everyone seems to be angry." The fourth master changed his voice and said suddenly, "Why don't you talk to that craftsman? "

Kuang Jian seemed to have been stepped on by someone's tail, and directly responded, "Why are you looking for him?"

"Hey!"

Fourth Master's tone was almost uplifting, "Why didn't you say you were looking for him when you borrowed someone's yard to try the case?"

He knew Kuang Jian too well, he was bored to death, if he didn't take the initiative to talk to anyone, if he didn't take the initiative to talk to others, if he could move a little more, things would not be easy.

Kuang Jian pinched his temples when he saw Fourth Master's beaming expression, becoming even more irritable.

These days, he has always had a stone in his heart, and many times the words come to his lips, but he just can't ask them.Should a man be arrested for killing a villain who cannot be condemned but deserves what he deserves?This was originally an unquestionable question, the existence of the yamen was to avoid lynching, otherwise what would Ying Tianfu do?But he didn't catch it at that time, and he doesn't do it now, as if he could drag this matter away by procrastinating, he asked Beijing Feige for verification, got the manifest from Suzhou Mansion to check, and re-examined any clues left by the Pang Mansion case. So far, although there is no direct evidence to prove it, he has a very bad guess: that person's skill and perfect identity are by no means ordinary people. He is afraid of the shocking truth. He can't control it, and Ying Tianfu can't. no...

Kuang Jian was restless, and suddenly called out, "Someone!"

"Here!" Outside the door, Qian Jinyuan answered loudly, turned his head and forgot about Fourth Master's instructions, and poked his head in.

As soon as the door opened, Huan Teng squeezed in, Ying Tian Mansion seemed to be extraordinarily lively today, noisy, and something strange happened.

Kuang Jian: "Help me search for individuals, not in the official document warehouse, but on the ground."

Qian Jin nodded hastily: "Who do you want?"

Kuang Jian's expression remained unchanged: "Kill Xiangyue."

Qian Jin paused, and opened his mouth the size of an egg: "... huh?"

Kuang Jian raised her eyebrows: "Why, is there any difficulty?"

"No..." Qian Jin was a little incoherent, pointing to the front hall, "He's just outside, do you want me to ask him directly if you want to know anything?"

Outside the spacious berth, the guards circled half a circle around the largest official office.

The outside of the official document library sounds scary, but in fact there are 27 oversized filing cabinets with a length of more than nine feet. The three most commonly used ones are placed outside the water room in the middle hall, and the other twenty or so are placed in the back hall. .This matter was handled by Kuang Jian last year. Xiao Kuang was a solid worker, and the materials used in the cabinet were very good, but because they were so good, the whole cabinet was stacked layer by layer and it was as strong as a hill. For moving, it is very inconvenient for a shorter person to take the high-level copybook.

"I removed the unnecessary wooden boards, made a hatchback door, and added panels at the back. After that, as long as the pulleys are pressed on the steel frame gaps of each layer, these copybooks can be pushed and pulled directly..." A pair of pale and thin hands grasped the small mechanism below, "A small wooden platform can also be folded here, so that it is convenient for the servants to record or put some chores when looking for the copy."

Everyone was amazed, and circled around the panel at the back of the official document storehouse: "This... Master Kill has never measured our official document storeroom, why is this panel so good?"

It was indeed just right. When the things were brought in, there was a protruding tenon on the outside of the board, which was added and nailed between the pillars and the beams.

The man smiled warmly, and replied: "You don't need to measure. You can tell how big the panels are at a glance. This library is only for testing. I heard that you still have 26 libraries. If it is convenient, you can modify them."

Everyone answered in unison, "Convenience! Convenience!! Convenience all the time!!!" They couldn't help looking up with their backs propped up, chattering: "How many days has it been since Kuangtou finished this group last year? Three days or four days? Killing the master is amazing, it will be completed in an hour, and it will be much more convenient to take things in the future!"

The guards rubbed their chins and slandered their boss loudly.

Kuang Jian frowned, pushed aside the crowd, and saw a familiar person squatting in front of the official office, and said coldly, "Why are you here?"

This sound came so well that the guards collectively blew their hairs.

Everyone stood at attention in a hurry, but the person who was asked by Kuang Jian had a calm expression on his face, and raised his delicate and handsome face. , thinking that I happen to have some knowledge of Luban's skills, and this copybook can be improved, so I came here to help a little."

Speaking of Sha Xiangyue, she elbowed the people around her, and Kuang Jian saw Zhu Shi. He raised his head and smiled exaggeratedly at Kuang Jian, showing a row of big and neat teeth like squirrels: "Master Kill is right. Yes, I haven't thanked Catcher Kuang for what happened that day, I'm here to help with the work..."

Kuang Jian didn't make a sound, and gave Sha Xiangyue a neutral look.

This person is wearing ordinary clothes today, the lavender placket is embroidered with dark blue piping, and the collar reveals a knuckle-wide white. It was simply a dream that Kuang Jian misremembered.

At this time, the guards didn't even dare to vent their anger. Seeing Tou Kuang frowning with his arms folded in awe-inspiring manner, they cautiously moved sideways, thinking of how to slip away without a trace.

At this moment, someone came to the main hall of the second entrance with a loud laugh, loudly and unrestrainedly: "It's still lively in Yingtianfu! We are all outside the city, and we don't even have a stall to sell hot wontons." , It’s just like nothing!”

The guards complained in their hearts, but the fourth master, who had been watching the fun outside early, turned his head away by leaning on the pillars. Seeing that he was an acquaintance, he immediately responded with a loud smile: "Why did Commander Hu come to Yingtian Mansion today? Your soldiers prepared to do an investigation a few days ago. I heard that the Gambling Shop in the Temple of the Temple in the west of the city is quite rewarding!"

The town government secretary got a tip in early March, saying that the leader of the Taiping Sect would show up in the west of the city. Originally, he and Bing Beidao jointly carried out a mission. Breaking the stronghold, Hu Tong led the credit at this time, which can be regarded as the limelight.

"What a great harvest!" Hu Ye laughed and waved his hands, and said humbly, "Taiping Sect's cunning rabbit's three caves, this time it's just burnt its fur!"

Kuang Jian glanced at Sha Xiangyue: "There is no rush to get rid of the evil, sooner or later this kind of heresy will be completely wiped out."

The fourth master looked at Kuang Jian keenly. He was not the one who said such things in vain. Hu Ye didn't know Kuang Jian's temperament. After hearing what he said, he was really happy from the bottom of his heart, and echoed loudly, "It makes sense!" Sha Xiangyue, on the other hand, acted as if she hadn't heard it. She lowered her eyes intently to dig out the small beams in the official document vault, but she didn't see anything unusual.

Kuang Jian's face was cold and his heart beat, he didn't try the expected reaction, he hesitated to guess whether he was careless.

The fourth master saw Kuang Jian and knew that his mind was not on Hu Ye, so he immediately took the initiative to exchange greetings: "Commander Hu is looking for Master Li today? He is not in the government office today."

Hu Ye waved his hand: "No, just passing by, come to say hello," he said, turning his eyes to Kuang Jian who was looking at the official document warehouse indifferently, and said warmly: "A few days ago, I heard about Brother Kuang's condolences at the Pang Mansion. With his deeds, I, a soldier, have the intention of making friends, and I want to invite him to have a light meal together."

The invitation was so abrupt that people shuddered. No one answered in the middle hall for a while, and the guards rolled their eyes and looked at Kuang Tou.

Kuang Jian raised his eyebrows slowly and didn't speak, but Sha Xiangyue saw the right time, interrupted with a smile: "This military master wants to invite Kuang Tutou to dinner, but he must be willing to go to a good restaurant! The little craftsman heard that he asked Folou to go out." There are new dishes, guinea fowl with stove, clams and crucian carp, it is worth trying in spring!"

Hu Ye didn't expect that someone would build steps for him here, so he immediately borrowed the slope to get down the donkey: "Then it must be called Folou! I often go here too, and the food is really excellent! Brother Kuang, in three days, someone from Hu will invite You eat!"

Kuang Jian frowned, Sha Xiangyue thought it was funny, smiled, and looked up to see how he would respond.

Kuang Jian was also blunt, "Commander Hu is polite, you have a lot of work, so Kuang won't make trouble for you." As she spoke, she turned around, pulled the teapot in Fourth Master's hand complainingly, and ran away.

Hu Ye and everyone looked at each other for a few times, and laughed loudly: "It seems that I, Hu, can't please him because of my face," he said, but he chased after him without hesitation, and hugged Kuang Jian affectionately. shoulder, "Hey, Brother Kuang, please save face!"

On the side invisible to everyone, he took out a piece of black cloth and a hidden weapon, and said with a smile, "I can't please you, so why don't they please you?"
