The first work of the imperial prison

In the following time, everyone was very busy, not to mention meeting, they couldn't even have dinner on schedule.

Si Li couldn't see Shen Jiang's people at all. He visited outside to investigate the relationship between the characters, conducted a preliminary investigation and collected evidence, and recorded those who felt related in one place. He was too busy and had no time to sort them out, so he asked someone to send them back to Beizhen. Fusi, ask the young master to sort out the logical lines, see if there is anything that needs to be observed and paid attention to, and give instructions at any time, so that he can follow up at any time.

Qiu Xunqing was following up to investigate some particularly sensitive things, things that Shen Jiang was not easy to investigate, such as information about Leihuobo.The last time the Leihuobo bombing case in Beijing was closed, the criminal confessed all the information he knew, and he did not let down his vigilance on the location of the Leihuobomb, because the criminal was just a person bought and used by the Wala Organization, and he was not a member of the organization. There must not be much information. He took Jinyiwei up and down, including the trained dogs, and worked overtime to check all the streets and dark alleys in the capital to ensure that there would be no thunderbolt left in the city, and there would be no such risk.

But in the border war that year, a batch of Leihuo bombs were lost. These numbers are far from enough. There are no more in the city. What about outside the city?Where else?

Where did the perpetrator see the Thunderbolt, and where did he learn the blueprint and manufacturing method?

If it is still the Oirat organization doing things, and there are Thunderbolts in hand, why not use them instead of using such crude things?What is the purpose?

There is also gunpowder, even if it is such an inconspicuous gadget, it is not very powerful, but whenever it is going to explode, gunpowder will be used. This is something closely controlled by the imperial court and the military. Even if the amount is small, where did it come from? , Whoever handles it, must keep a record...

Qiu Xunqing felt that something was wrong.When the Leihuo bomb explosion case came out, he followed this line to investigate, but at that time the Leihuo bomb was lost for many years, and the trajectory materials were difficult to find, but this time it was different. Since it was freshly made, some The line can be pulled out!

Others were busy outside, Ye Baiting was not idle either, either looking at the corpse in the morgue, or sorting out and analyzing the investigation clues sent back by Shen Jiang.

There are currently two deceased, King Mu and Mrs. Li. There is no doubt about the cause of death of the two. They were attacked by the "small ball" at close range, which happened to be very close to the vitals. One was the heart and the other was the throat. An autopsy doesn't just look at the cause of death, it also looks at other things.

For example, King Mu's body wasted a lot. His eyes were black and black, and the lower part of his eye sockets looked a bit scratched. His heart was seriously injured, and there were clearly visible abnormal obstructions on the lower right side, including the liver and kidney. The internal organs, etc., all have excessive wear and tear, which is completely different from healthy ordinary people. At his age, his body functions should not be worn out to this extent, and it is not a single lesion that affects this. According to forensic experience...

This person is probably a person who works very hard and is overworked. He does not allow others to urge him, works overtime on his own, and spends a long time without food and clothing. This is why his body suffers such a great wear and tear.

Mrs. Li...why is the white hair on the sideburns?

Non-genetic factors, no pathological reasons, the rest is nothing more than work and rest habits, stress and worries. Shen Jiang has focused on the direction he proposed. Li's work and rest have always been normal, and he has never stayed up late all day, and his gray hair is not sudden. The growth has gradually increased since the first two years. Recently, my spirit has been a little bad, and I haven’t seen a doctor. I can’t find any special abnormalities in the living environment and the confession of the servants.

Why is she in a hurry to get angry?worry about what?

At her age, the three-view system, completed personality construction, and a prosperous life, is the most comfortable time. What problems do you encounter that deserve such attention?

Husband cheating?

Ye Baiting just shook his head when he thought of this. Such things don't seem to be a problem in the feudal patriarchal society. Because of class thinking and social discipline, it's not that wives don't care, or they can't care. When they were girls , you know that your future husband is not yours alone, and you should not worry too much about such things in the value system. As long as the main wife is in a stable position, there are ways to deal with it. There are multiple women in the family, and even multiple children.

That's a child?

Ye Baiting still shook her head, Li's uterus was underdeveloped, and there was feedback in the news sent back by Shen Jiang. Her personal mother said that she basically never had menstruation and that she was infertile. She knew about it when she was not married. There must have been pain and struggles at the beginning, but after so many years, she has long been mentally prepared to live in peace with this matter, and it is impossible to suddenly be overwhelmed by it.

adopted son?

Ye Baiting thought of Lu Xingming at the scene of Li's death. Although there are information clues that have confirmed that he is a nephew, he is actually an adopted son. He has been living together and calls him uncle and aunt. It doesn't sound close. I don't know, but Mrs. Li agreed with this name, and didn't mind. She also guaranteed his daily expenses, giving him what he wanted, for the sake of... It shouldn't be a particularly harmonious parent-child relationship, but a good family life.

What is that... Ye Baiting suddenly remembered a certain information point before, could it be something stolen, glass cup?

Liuli...it's Liuli again.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a long whistle coming from outside the window. He recognized this whistle, and it was Qiu Xunqing's password to call Xuanguang. Looking out the window, he saw the back of Qiu Xingqing, slender and tall. , The majestic stature under the sun.

I don't know if I saw him or was about to come, Qiu Xunqing turned around, walked towards this side, but didn't enter the door, opened the window frame, put her elbows on the window frame, and talked to him through the window

"Shen Jiangpai found out an important clue. There is a colored glaze workshop in the suburbs of Beijing, which is very suspicious—"

"What about him?"

"He has other tasks to investigate now, so he can't leave."

"So..." Ye Baiting blinked, as if she understood.

Qiu Yiqing looked serious: "Do you want to come with me to have a look?"

"Tat-tat-tat-tat-"

Seeing Xuan Guang running out, Ye Baiting raised his eyebrows: "Riding with the Commander?"

Qiu Yiqing also raised her eyebrows: "Afraid?"

Ye Baiting lowered his eyes, thinking that this little trick is considered a trick?

"Well, a little bit," he was very sincere, "after all, some people take advantage of it and always moisten things in a subtle way, making it hard to say."

Qiu Suiqing: ...

Whether it's shy or clever, as long as Xiao Wu reacts, he can always respond with something, but the other party is so honest, and accuses him of the fact that he's "playing hooligans secretly" by the way, so he can't just be shameless.

Ye Baiting finally choked on the other party, feeling very happy, jumped off the heating kang, saw that the clothes on her body were okay, they fit well, so she didn't change, opened the door directly, and walked out.

As soon as Xuan Guang saw him, he became very affectionate, leaned over and rubbed against him, bit his sleeve, and pulled towards him.

Ye Baiting rubbed the horse's neck, and a thought popped into his mind. While rubbing, he said, "Do you want to carry me? If you want to carry me, it will be me alone, without your master."

Xuanguang can't understand human words, so he doesn't care what the owner is or not, as long as he coaxes the young master over, it will be happy!

The black horse's body movements should not be too obvious, Ye Baiting turned around and cupped his hands at Qiu Suqing, smiling: "I have given in."

Then he held the saddle, flipped it up, and sat firmly. Before Qiu Yiqing could react, he pinched his legs lightly, and Xuanfeng ran out instantly.

Qiu Suiqing: ...

People don't want him, and horses don't want him, so what can the dignified commander do?

He could only find another horse to ride on, and chased after him.

Xuanguang is a wild horse, it can run fast, and can do all kinds of tricks. It usually carries its master without caring about it. If it is in a good mood, it will rush up. , What a little kid, summed up in one word, it's a wave!Whether the owner is affected or not, what does it matter to its innocent, lovely and beautiful pony?Obviously his skills are not good!

Carrying the young master is different, it becomes very obedient and caring, and feels that the young master is not sitting properly, so he gently shakes his body, making him feel the slight shaking, urging him to sit up, feeling that the young master is ready, It rushed forward excitedly for a while, and took the young master to enjoy the thrill of galloping together. When it felt that the young master was tired, it slowed down and let the young master rest for a while.

Qiu Suiqing: ...

Is this still his horse?Why don't you know me a little bit!

Ye Baiting was still sitting on the horse and was very excited: "Chou Yiqing! Your horse is fine! You are so sensible! Riding it is not tiring at all! No wonder you call it all the time, and you never want another horse!"

Xuan Guang raised his neck high, as if he could understand the words, his eyes were full of showing off and pride, and at the same time he snorted at Qiu Suqing, as if to warn—you dare to say something bad !

Qiu Suiqing: ...

Forget it, as long as you are happy.

I ran for a while before, but now the road has a gentle slope and a lot of turns, which is also suitable for strolling.

Ye Baiting looked at the road: "The place we're going to... isn't it a bit remote?"

Qiu Yiqing: "Small workshops, the things produced are dangerous, and the production process also has safety hazards. Most of them dare not build them in the capital. If they want to build them, they will not be approved."

Ye Baiting understands the truth, being in the middle of nowhere, with hatred on his side, he is not afraid of accidents, he is still in a relaxed mood, there are not so many houses in the suburbs, the field of vision is wide, and there is already a mist of greenery on the ground in the distance. The unknown little flower quietly pushed up the buds, shaking and trembling against the slightly cold spring wind.

Ye Baiting saw a yellow flower bud, small and exquisite, very pleasing, she pointed it and asked: "What is that?"

Is it winter jasmine?

Qiu Yiqing remembered the things he gave Xiao Wuzuo that day: "Like it?"

Ye Baiting didn't understand: "Huh?"

Qiu Yiqing: "Greath, do you still like it?"

Ye Baiting took another look at the color of the buds, it was light yellow, and she understood that there were indeed a few light yellow flowers on the wreath that day, soft and tender, very beautiful.

"Hmm... I'd like it better if it wasn't so exaggerated."

Don't even think about it, he is not a little girl, how can a big man wear such conspicuous flowers?

Qiu Yiqing doesn't care, he likes it anyway, these things are just to match with Xiao Wu: "I will make it up for you later."

Ye Baiting: ...

"Don't let it go."

Seeing that the road ahead became straight and widened again, and it was almost time to rest, he clamped his horse, Xuan Guang understood, and immediately rushed out again.

It's fine if he doesn't run away immediately. His running can easily be misunderstood as shyness, and it strengthens the idea of ​​some people sending wreaths. After receiving more and more, it's useless to say anything. He regretted it when others didn't believe it, but it was too late.

This time it was done in one go, the two quickly reached the destination, Ye Baiting rode the horse very happily, got down and put his arms around the horse's neck, and expressed his excitement: "Xuanguang is great! Let's play together next time, please! "

Xuan Guang was so beautiful, he pushed his shoulders and wagged his tail. When he wanted to raise his hoof and run around to celebrate, he was ruthlessly pulled back by Qiu Yiqing: "Play by yourself, you are not tired, others tired."

He took out his Supa and gently wiped Ye Baiting's forehead: "Don't move, you're sweating."

Ye Baiting watched Xuan Guang bite the bay red horse's ass and rushed to play in a place with grass on one side, and then looked at Qiu Yiqing who was wiping his sweat, but still felt a little too close...so he took a step back.

Qiu Yiqing hasn't finished wiping it yet, how can Xiao Wu be allowed to retreat?Not to mention that he has a certain obsession with tidying up, but everything he handles must be clean and well-organized. Let's say Xiao Wu Zuo is this person...

He directly stretched out his hand, pulled Xiao Zuo back, and continued.

Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes: "Huh?"

This expression is a bit of a danger warning, like saying that you are bold, presumptuous, and drunk... a little overlap.

Qiu Yiqing felt even more cute, took something from his bosom, and gently hung it on his waist.

Ye Baiting looked down, it was a jade pendant.

"Isn't there a jade shop nearby where Mrs. Li's body was found?" Qiu Yiqing said, "I went in and took a look, and the items are all good, very suitable for you."

So... bought one?

Ye Baiting looked at this jade pendant. It was a round ring with a small fat fish carved inside, with its head and tail intertwined. It was cute and had a good meaning. He liked it quite a bit. It was just the texture... the color was light and even, and the head of the water was very bright. It makes people love it: "Is it a bit expensive?"

The blue eyes of hatred are slightly dark: "Worried about me being poor?"

Ye Baiting: "...not really."

"Anxin," Qiu Xunqing had already let go of him, and walked forward first, "My wife has a lot of money, and you are the only one, and it will take some years."

Ye Baiting: ...

Can this person be serious!No, how many more do you want!

As soon as Qiu Yiqing walked to the gate, someone came over to greet him: "Boss wants to see the goods?"

The two of them are wearing ordinary clothes today, without the logo of Jinyiwei, but even ordinary clothes are not what ordinary people would wear, especially on Ye Baiting...there are a few big words: "Jiao Young Master from a wealthy family."

Qiu Yiqing didn't say anything, but looked at Ye Baiting with some teasing eyes.

Ye Baiting walked in without hesitation: "I happened to pass by your workshop, and remembered that my home is being renovated. It would be good to buy some colored glaze, but I don't know how the colored glaze here is made? What is the style? Is it suitable to install on the window at home? Unbreakable?"

The clerk saw that he was a customer with good money, and immediately led him in: "I don't care what I said, you go inside and look at the goods? It's not a small blow, it's just the colored glaze from our workshop. If you want quality, those small workshops outside can't make it! Come and see, these are samples!"

The two were led to a display stand, where someone called the buddy's name, and the buddy smiled with him: "There are a lot of things, why don't you two look at it first? Which style do you like, which color do you like? What's the problem, the younger one will serve you later!"

Ye Baiting nodded: "Go ahead and get busy, we don't really understand, let's take a look first."

"Alright——" the man turned his head and left, running fast, apparently striving to finish the business over there quickly so that he could come back to entertain the big customers.

Ye Baiting looked at the pieces of colored glaze on the display shelf. Most of them were gray with heavy impurities and thick. The thickness was uneven and they didn’t look very beautiful. They can be displayed here for customers to see. It is the best product in the workshop.

"This is... Liuli?" He was a little uncertain, "It doesn't seem to be the same as the thing blown out of the small ball?"

Qiu Xunqing: "It has to be smashed to compare."

Ye Baiting immediately understood, looked around, leaned over, and whispered: "Shen Jiang can't just say that this place is suspicious, and you can't just bring me here to look, so you have dropped it, compared it, those little balls Here, are you using the glazed shards from here?"

Afraid of being overheard by others, Xiao Wuzuo was very close, his breath was in front of him, Qiu Yiqing's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear clearly: "Huh?"

Ye Baiting had no choice but to move closer, almost touching the other party, and repeated the words.

Qiu Yiqing still 'didn't hear clearly': "Huh?"

Ye Baiting was about to move on, when he suddenly noticed the distance between the two of them—this man is highly skilled in martial arts, and his five senses are even more prominent. Thinking about how far away he was before, and the scene was so noisy and chaotic, if he yelled, this man could hear it. The truth suddenly disappeared at this time.

He narrowed his eyes, lifted his foot, and stepped heavily on Qiu Yiqing's foot: "point, wave, make, present, present, can, hear, have you?"

Qiu Suiqing: ...

He is not afraid of pain, but he is also a body of flesh and blood, and his petty tricks are tricky, not only stepping on him, but also crushing him...

It hurt a little, but the commander chose not to say it.

"...I really didn't hear that."

No matter what you say, Ye Baiting snorted coldly, anyway, he understood in his heart, the fact is like this.

While observing the colored glaze around the display stand, he turned his gaze slightly to see that in this small workshop, the workers are very busy, but their movements are very careful. The colored glaze is probably fragile, and they are afraid of falling off the goods or hurting people; the temperature in the west is a bit It is high, and there are smoke and fire coming out of it, which is probably the place where glazed liquid is fired at high temperature; to the north, there is a room with a closed door. From the style point of view, all places in the workshop are clean, and the decoration is also very high-end. Should it be the boss's room?

As soon as he was about to ask, Qiu Xunqing pressed his lips: "Shh - there are guests inside."

The feeling of rough fingers pressing on his lips... His temperature, his touch, everything is very clear.

Ye Baiting didn't speak, because he saw Qiu Yiqing tilting his head slightly and listening intently, the man was listening to the movement inside... it's better not to disturb.

After a long time, the atmosphere finally relaxed, and the fingers on his lips were moved away, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's wrong?"

"A guest is a guest, but not necessarily an ordinary guest." The blue eyes of hatred were a little dark.

Ye Baiting: "A regular customer?"

Qiu Xunqing's tone hinted: "It is indeed a regular customer, or the one with a particularly 'familiar' relationship."

Ye Baiting: ...

Is it possible...

"Is it a female guest?"

"There is no boss in this workshop, only the proprietress."

"That's the proprietress' girlfriend? Fiance?"

"The proprietress is a widow."

Ye Baiting: ...

Maybe the guy who just came to entertain them couldn't get away, he was too busy, and needed manpower beside him, so he just went over and knocked on the door, called the proprietress, and pointed to this side.

The proprietress waved for people to go down, helped Fufa, and walked over with a smile: "You two, are you looking at Liuli?"

This time, Qiu Xunqing didn't go around in circles, and directly took out Jin Yiwei's badge and showed it to the other party: "Recently, there have been frequent incidents of loss of goods in your place, and you have reported it to the official?"

"So it's an official job," the landlady's smile grew wider, "It's okay, you can investigate the case, don't you delay shopping, come and see our Liuli when you're done, be serious!"

Ye Baiting also smiled: "May I ask how to address it?"

"My surname is Zeng, and I'm the third in my family. Everyone calls me Zeng Sanniang." Zeng Sanniang sighed after finishing talking about herself, "If you say that I am also a hard-fated person, my old family members are dead. It's not easy for me. I found a lover for myself, and my husband died of a sudden illness. I only left this glazed workshop so that I can eat, but how much money can this small workshop earn? Even if it is pasting windows, everyone prefers window paper , I don’t like Liuli, for this small workshop, I worked hard and worked hard to manage it, and it’s only been a little bit better in the past two years, but guess what happened?”

"God just doesn't want me to have a good time. Two months ago, I started throwing things away frequently. If the colored glaze produced goes wrong and cannot be sold, others will not steal it. We will find a way to sell it cheaply or melt it down. Re-burning, if there are some good things that can be sold at a price, the thief who kills thousands of dollars will come and steal them, and only steal from my family and not other workshops, how easy it is for me to burn this good stuff!"

"Steal as soon as it comes out, steal as soon as it comes out, so that I don't know if I should continue to make goods now. If I make it, it would be stolen by others. If it weren't for the customers who are pretty good-natured, it would be easier to talk, and I didn't ask for compensation. Yinzi, I'm afraid I won't have any food for today!"

Guests talkative?

Qiu Yiqing and Ye Baiting looked at each other and asked, "Who are the guests recently?"

"I can't remember this, I have to look through the cargo list," Zeng Sanniang thought for a while, "But there is one thing I remember very clearly, and you should all know it, and it is the King Mu who had an accident."

It really is……

Qiu Yiqing: "Tell me carefully."

Zeng Sanniang said: "Their family's list was discussed years ago. His son...is called Mu An? He came to discuss it in person, but it was almost Chinese New Year, and the workers had to rest. Liuli There is no way to burn it quickly, Mr. Mu An is very kind, he said don’t worry, he won’t be leaving in the future, and it will be fine when the weather is warmer, and the delivery time will be after the Shangyuan Festival.”

"The mansion came to urge the order before. We worked overtime to burn it. After choosing it, it was not for delivery, but it was stolen. I wanted to make an excuse to procrastinate and prepare to burn another batch for others. , before the fire was over, the people over there were surprised again, I was thinking about what to do, should I wait a little longer, the newly released goods were stolen again, I have no choice, I can only find someone to apologize, Mu Mr. An said it's okay, it's inconvenient for the time being when something like this happened to his house, it's okay if it's out of stock, I'll talk about it later, as for whether the money will be refunded or not, he is not sure yet, he is too busy to make a move, and said to come back later Look for me, but I haven't found it until now..."

"So, I'm lucky?"
