The first work of the imperial prison

Ye Baiting was indeed awkward, but only for a moment, not because of grievances, because people like Qingniao were not worth it, just felt... a little embarrassed.

What kind of integrity does a man need when he talks dirty, who wouldn't?He didn't show his strength just now, he wants to speak up, he must be more energetic than the blue bird, let these people see the diversity of knowledge, but isn't this...isn't there hatred and suspicion outside?

A theory is a theory, if he really wants to get it to the truth, he is really a little flustered.

The hostile youth saw Xiao Wu Zuo being so awkward on the outside, even for a moment, he felt the other party's shyness.

His eyes became darker and darker, and he stretched out his hand: "You—"

Ye Baiting dodged it, and quickly adjusted his mood: "I've asked a lot of things, I'm in a good mood." After answering Qiu Yiqing's question before, he turned to Shen Jiang and solemnly suggested, "Isn't the blue bird going to eat and drink and be clean?" Give him everything he wants except pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and books with writing, but no one is allowed to talk to him, no eye contact is allowed, and things go through the small window..."

Shen Jiang understood: "Grind him?"

"Yes, you can't grind him to death."

Ye Baiting said a few words to Shen Jiang, and his mood relaxed a lot, before turning back to look at Qiu Xunqing: "I just showed, is the commander satisfied?"

"Very good," Qiu Yiqing saw Xiao Wu smiling again, stopped teasing him, and looked serious, "We will continue in the future."

"Then he said..."

Just as he was about to speak, Jin Yiwei escorted other criminals to pass by. The criminals were dishonest, swaying left and right and swearing. Jin Yiwei 'supported' them according to the rules, and walked forward according to the rules. The scene was a bit noisy.

Ye Baiting tilted his head: "Go out and talk?"

"Okay." Qiu Xunqing turned around first.

After walking out, time passed, some things seemed too difficult to say, Ye Baiting simply stopped mentioning them, and asked about other things: "Is it dangerous to act today?"

Qiu Yiqing's voice was the same as his expression, calm and calm: "It went well."

"Successful?" Ye Baiting looked at him suspiciously, why did he not believe it, "I seem to have heard that Blue Bird drove a carriage on a rampage with the intention of hurting the people, and there were assault weapons in the carriage, rushed through the city gate, and led you away. over the edge of the cliff—”

The hostile green complexion remained unchanged: "It's okay."

Shen Jiang couldn't help it: "Where is it okay? It's special! Our commander is special!" He couldn't help bragging with the young master, and gestured with the environment at that time, "On that cliff, straight Straight out, the place where the foot rests is just that big, it can collapse with a little force, the grandson of Qingniao knows that he can't get rid of us, so he hides by the side, and when we pass by, he doesn't stare at me, but at the commander , Seeing that the opportunity came, he jumped on the Commander, trying to knock the Commander off the cliff, even if he died, he would drag a powerful funeral with him—”

Ye Baiting was really frightened, his face paled: "Bump, hit?"

Qiu Xunqing pulled Xiao Zuo behind him, and patted him: "Don't listen to Shen Jianghun, he likes to brag, you don't know, Qingniao did panic and ran to the edge of the cliff, but it was still very easy to catch him. "

Ye Baiting recalled how Qiu Yiqing behaved when he came back. It was true that he was not injured. He was very calm, no different from usual. He had been together all the time just now. If he was injured, it is impossible for him not to know...

"Let's go, go to your warm pavilion." Qiu Xunqing led Ye Baiting forward, while threatening Shen Jiang with his eyes, dare to say another word?

Shen Jiang didn't dare, the commander ordered, who would dare not listen to Fusi of Beizhen?Hurry back and circle: "The commander is right, there is no danger at all, the commander is invincible in the world, so what danger is there? It's just a villain hitting a stone with a pebble..."

Ye Baiting's complexion was still not good-looking, and Qiu Xunqing glanced at Shen Jiang lightly.

Shen Jiang: ...

Silently slapped his mouth, he shouldn't talk too much.

Ye Baiting knows the dangers of this profession, and has personally experienced the sacrifice of colleagues in his early years. This is a high-risk profession, and danger is always around. Every time he returns safely, it is not a small matter worth mentioning.

Entering the Nuan Pavilion, sitting down with a cup of tea, he patted his face lightly, withdrew all his thoughts, and began to analyze what he just gained——

"The blue bird is related to this case. It is basically confirmed now. He must also know about the Lei Huo bomb. He just didn't say it. The blueprint is probably leaked by his people."

Shen Jiang: "So this time, it's still a gang crime?"

"Not necessarily," Ye Baiting thought for a while, and said, "The feeling of this case... I prefer that it was done by one person. The perpetrator made a small ball containing broken glass and caused the explosion to cause panic among the people, or Is it arranged in advance, or on-site manipulation, he seems a little eager to gain attention, wants everyone to know who he is, a little impatient, has a lot of tricks, looks very confident about not being caught... I feel that he His age should not be very old, or his psychological age should not be very old. He will be a little arrogant and may not be able to accept cooperation with others. Maybe in his heart, he thinks that he is the best, and the joining of others will only delay him. leg."

Qiu Yiqing tapped his knuckles on the table and pointed out the key: "Little thief."

Ye Baiting nodded: "If the little thief is an accomplice, and everyone works together to do one thing, there is no reason not to meet or communicate. It can be seen that this little thief probably doesn't know what others are doing, and he doesn't know that he is being used—just Take money to do things."

Qiu Xunqing: "But he can't do everything by himself."

"That's right," Ye Baiting mused, "The perpetrator has blueprints and can make a small ball that will explode, and there is no shortage of materials at hand. How did he do it?"

Shen Jiang patted the table: "People from the Blue Bird! The young master didn't say anything just now, they leaked the blueprint!"

Qiu Xunqing: "Someone is watching the perpetrator."

Ye Baiting agreed: "This person knows the perpetrator's personality and hobbies, his daily habits, what he is thinking in his heart, and what dark emotions are growing in him, and 'very coincidentally', all the necessary conditions for this matter were brought about, and finally he used the criminal As a cover for human actions, everything about the blue bird was arranged."

After all, it is safer not to be noticed by outsiders, but to follow other people's actions and adjust one's own plan at any time, fish in troubled waters, after all.

"The perpetrator has his own subjective initiative, and his motive must not be to save people from prison, which is inconsistent with the people of Jade Bird."

"Where Beizhen Fusi accepts the case, he must solve it, and the perpetrator of this case will definitely be caught." Qiu Yiqing's eyes darkened slightly, "He can't run away."

Ye Baiting's eyes were burning: "So the more he knows, the less safe the Jade Bird organization is... There is a high probability that he is just a pawn chosen by Jade Bird, and he knows nothing about the organization, and he doesn't even know the existence of this organization."

Shen Jiang came back to his senses, and punched: "These birds are so vicious! They are cruel to others, but they are also cruel to themselves. To save Qingniao, he didn't send any people to help him, so he put a carriage for himself. Hurry up, we have no one else to investigate, and then we can only stare at the whereabouts of the broken carriage to find clues!"

There is no one, only things, and I know that there must be a lot of Taoists, and the clues that can be found are probably very limited.

Ye Baiting asked Shen Jiang: "The little thief, how is the investigation going?"

Shen Jiang: "Qin Gentiana is busy over there. It takes time to coax people. A day or two is definitely not enough, and it's not enough to build trust. He has a plan in mind, and there is a group of Jinyi guards over there. Don't worry, young master, nothing will happen."

"What about the accident on the street?" Ye Baiting turned to Qiu Yiqing, "Have you found any clues?"

Qingniao ran out from the escort team, pretending to be the wounded to escape. Before getting into the carriage, Jin Yiwei was busy in the street outside, and Qiu Yiqing was also chasing the murderer. The time was not too long, but fortunately, he had enough attention Concentration, Qiu Yiqing is so smart, he can't believe he didn't find something.

Sure enough, Qiu Xingqing's answer did not disappoint him: "The perpetrator's absconding direction has been identified, and the suspect brought back is cross-checked with the existing clues. The five suspects are serious and are being cleaned up."

"Clean up?" Ye Baiting didn't understand.

Qiu Xunqing: "They fell into the moat."

"Falled into the river?" Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes slightly, "This is interesting..."

Shen Jiang: "Interesting?"

Qiu Xunqing: "Anyone who has been in contact with gunpowder, gunpowder, dust, smell, will be contaminated to some extent."

"So the purpose of falling into the river is to wash away these traces?" Shen Jiang stared, "It's too insidious!"

Must be intentional!

"It's almost time," Qiu Xunqing calculated and watched Xiao Wuzuo, "Are you tired? Do you want to go and have a look together?"

"Yes!" Ye Baiting was not tired at all, and his eyes were bright, very interested.

Qiu Xingqing paused: "There is not enough evidence right now, we can only temporarily ask them to cooperate with the investigation, and we cannot arrest them."

Ye Baiting looked at the sky outside and understood: "It looks like it's going to be soon."

It doesn't matter if you can't keep people in Beizhen Fusi. Solving the case is not a one-off thing. Most of the time, you have to proceed step by step and peel off the cocoons. This time, you can't find the key clues. The next step is to continue to work hard. Just keep an eye on it to ensure that people can't escape. From my own perspective, it is only a matter of time before the case is solved.

The two of them sat down in the hall, Shen Jiang ran for a while, and soon brought five people up, Ye Baiting saw that there were two acquaintances, both of whom were met by Hangbai at the Prince Mu County's mansion that day, one was his son Mu's family, Young and young, he looks gentle and gentle, no matter the expression on his face or the way he handles things on weekdays, he makes people feel like a spring breeze, has a good impression in his heart, and is praised by many.

The other is his friend, the teenager Lu Xingming who helped during the hanging that day, and Li Shi, the other deceased in this case, was his aunt, adoptive mother, and even when Li died, he himself was nearby.

He is seventeen this year, and according to Shen Jiang's investigation information, he is a dandy who spends money like water. I didn't see it last time because he was attending a funeral and was dressed in plain clothes. Today, Ye Baiting really felt the boy's dandyism. In the place where Mrs. Li died, the case was not clear, and the funeral was not yet done. It can be seen that Lu Xingming has the awareness of avoiding suspicion. He is wearing moon white, which is not too fancy, but the reflective satin material of the clothes is made of white jade hairpin and white jade buttons. Everything is expensive.

Ye Baiting didn't know the remaining three, but judging from the sense of distance... There was a young man standing between Mu An and Lu Xingming. The middle-aged man always glanced at Lu Xingming from time to time, with a worried look on his face. The two looked alike, so they should be Lu Xingming's uncle and the deceased Li's husband.

The last one is also a man. He is not young. He has obviously passed the age of the crown, but he is not too old. He has no beard and no old appearance. Years, 26 and seven years old.

This person stood far away from everyone, as if they didn't know each other... No, they knew each other, at least they only knew Lu Jiashu, because when their eyes met, there was obvious resistance.

This is acquaintance, but the relationship is not very good.

Seeing Shen Jiang eager to try in front of the hall, Ye Baiting pointed to Mu An quietly... Shen Jiang started, and asked Mu An with a serious face: "What's the matter with you, shouldn't you be at home at this time?"

Mu An: "Master Baihu is responsible for not going out today, and I didn't plan to do so, but I only found out the night before yesterday that today is the date set by my father before his death. The last relic is very precious, and he seems to like it very much. As a son of man, he can't let this relic be lost. No one is worried about handing it over to anyone below. Although he is a little unfilial, he still goes out in person and wants to get it back for his father. .”

"What? Who was it made for? When is the agreed withdrawal date?"

"It's a mutton-fat white jade fish-playing lotus-leaf platform. Who was it for... I don't know. My father didn't say anything, but when someone mentioned it, my father smiled when he mentioned it... I don't know." I remember when was the last time my father laughed, it should be a beloved thing."

"You came out alone?"

"Yes... and no," Mu An shook his head, "The family is just hanging out. As a filial son, I also know that it is not suitable to go out at this time, so I asked friends to go with me. If there is any trouble, they will help you." You can also help me with one or two."

Shen Jiang looked at Lu Xingming: "Friend, is he?"

Mu An nodded: "And this one," he stretched out his hand to guide the young man standing between him and Lu Xingming, "Tang Feihan."

"Tang Feihan?" Shen Jiang felt a little familiar, but not that familiar. Where had he heard of this name?

Mu An had already smiled and said: "Hundreds of households may not know him, he is the son of Baron Tang Jingfu."

It turned out to be this...

Shen Jiang's expression is a bit playful. Almost the whole capital knows about this family. Tang Jingfu is the contemporary Chen Shimei. When he went to Beijing for the scientific examination, he abandoned his family and married the daughter of this year's examiner. Shun Shui, has been in business for more than ten years, with luxuriant connections and a bright future, and stepped on dog shit luck, made a great contribution, won a baron title, and is blooming like a brocade. This examiner back then, now father-in-law, is involved A big event, the person died, and the family was ruined. Tang Jingfu felt refreshed and immediately locked his wife in the backyard, taking in eight concubines in one go. The wife and son in my hometown have nothing to worry about now, so I hurriedly sent someone back to pick them up, and embarrassing things happened.

His first wife, surnamed Wu, did not guard him. He couldn't wait for his news, so he turned around and married someone else. Because of his good looks, the person he married was a wealthy family in the local area, and he had a lot of money. With some scheming, she brought her son Tang Feihan into the door together. Regardless of whether she was fighting in the house or living a life, she was doing well. Even though she didn't come out later, the position of the back house was still firmly established, and the man also held it firmly.

But even though this man is a rich man, he has some money and power in the local area, but he is far behind Tang Jingfu who is an official in the capital. Besides, she made up all the previous events, so it can't be true. She and Tang Jingfu are serious worshipers. After going to the bridal chamber, taking the marriage certificate, and not getting married, isn't it reasonable for her to go back to Tang Jingfu's side?

She didn't have a child with the man outside, and the one she worked so hard to raise is also Tang Jingfu's seed...

Turning her head around, she immediately broke up with this man, packed her things, and took her son to the capital to find her husband whom she hadn't seen in ten years.

When he arrived in the capital, Mrs. Wu found that the rules here were different and could not be compared with those in the countryside. Tang Jingfu had married another wife earlier. Although the Yue family had fallen and this wife was locked up in the backyard, he grew up in the capital. Married as a wife, and has been in charge of the family for ten years, everyone in the capital recognizes her. Even if it is for his own reputation, Tang Jingfu can't divorce her. Although Wu is the first wife, she must enter this family You can only be a concubine.

Being a concubine...it's okay, Mrs. Wu is quite flexible, isn't it just the back house, it doesn't matter if you have a status or not, outsiders don't recognize it now, but after a long time, you have to recognize it. The accumulation of these years, she is in charge of the house , After tidying up the house to take care of the concubines, there is no problem at all, let alone Tang Jingfu took eight concubines in one go, he just took eighty, she has a way!

Her face, this figure, these ten years of daily care, coupled with such a big son, who was carefully raised since childhood, has a belly of poetry and books, and is talented. Everyone outside is convinced. How dare Tang Jingfu disrespect her?

Tang Feihan's identity was a little embarrassing in the Tang family. It stands to reason that he was the son of Tang Jing's relapsed wife, the proper eldest son, but the eldest son recognized by the aristocracy in the capital was not him, but the one who was a few years younger, but This kid is really competitive, just like what Wu said, he has poetry and books in his stomach, and he has outstanding talent. He tried his hand at the banquet and won a lot of applause. There were writers who wanted to accept him as an apprentice...

The current affairs of the Tang family are confused. Tang Jingfu suffered a stroke for some reason and is now bedridden. Tang Feihan's future is not confused. He has won three yuan in a row. Soaring to the sky, being the top three in the palace is by no means an exaggeration. No one would look down on the current Tang family.

Shen Jiang shook his head, put aside the mess in his head, and asked Tang Feihan, "Mu An called you? Are you on a good relationship?"

Tang Feihan clasped his hands, although he grew up in the countryside, he was not petty at all, and his movements were extremely elegant: "Yes, I met a lot of people in the capital, but I didn't have many friends, but the two brothers I met outside, The relationship has always been good, and Mu An is in trouble, of course I want to help."

What to ask next?Shen Jiang didn't know where to start, so he turned to the young master and spread his hands.

Ye Baiting asked Tang Feihan, "Do you know how the deceased in this case died?"

Tang Feihan paused: "I know, it's all an accident, the little ball that fell from the sky will explode."

Ye Baiting: "Did you know that broken glass is mixed in the ball?"

"I didn't know it before," Tang Feihan thought for a while, "but I happened to see it on the street just now."

Ye Baiting nodded: "You went out today just to meet Mu An?"

Tang Feihan: "Yes."

"Okay." Ye Baiting stopped asking him and turned to Lu Xingming, "You too?"

Lu Xingming's gesture of saluting seemed lazy, without muscle or bone: "Yes."

"Where did you make an appointment to meet? Outside the shop, or the Prince Mu's Mansion, were you together when you came out?"

"Outside the shop."

"What time?"

"Two quarters of the hour."

"That is to say, when the accident happened on the street, you hadn't come together yet."

"Yes." Lu Xingming added, "But the appointment time is very close, we are very worried about each other, so we ran to the door of the shop immediately, and we got together soon."

Shen Jiang felt a little wrong at this moment: "Didn't your aunt also have an accident, and you should also be filial?"

Lu Xingming lost his face: "I was also guarding, but Mu An was in trouble, and he called me, so I have to help, right?"

"What the child is talking about," said the middle-aged man standing in Lu Xingming, his uncle, "the child is still young, so he can't suffer so much. How can he live if he is tired and sick? The wife's case has not been cleared, and there is no formality at home. It's okay for him to relax for two days at the beginning of the funeral, and the Mu family is a well-informed person, so it doesn't matter if they just go out for a while and come back."

Shen Jiang knew him: "Lu Yisheng? Your nephew has an appointment with a friend, why are you here?"

Lu Yisheng: "The child left in a hurry, and the filial belt was not tied. It doesn't matter if he is not in front of the coffin. My wife and I don't mind, but the filial belt, even if it is hidden in the clothes, has to be hung up. Turning around, my wife is still waiting for it." He broke the pot, the rules cannot be broken, I can only chase after him."

"When, where, who did you find?"

"When the street was in chaos, I was almost at the door of the shop. I saw them with my feet and feet."

Shen Jiang turned his head and looked at the only person standing aside, who he didn't know: "Who are you, and why are you with them?"

The man cupped his hands: "My subordinate, Sun Zhixing, works at Honglu Temple. He is out on official business today. I don't want to encounter such an accident."

As soon as Sun Zhixing opened his mouth, Ye Baiting noticed that Qiu Yiqing's expression was wrong, he seemed to pause, and quietly squeezed his hand under the table, and asked with his eyes: What's wrong?

Qiu Yiqing took his hand and wrote on his palm: Liulifang.

Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes for a moment. This Sun Zhixing was the person who was in the proprietress's room when they visited Liulifang that day... Maybe he had an affair with the proprietress?

Shen Jiang continued to ask: "Why are you with them?"

"You think I think so?" Sun Zhixing sneered, "Master Lu, who is currently in a relationship, wants to enter Honghe Temple and have a new funeral for his wife. I don't know how to restrain myself. I really think that our Honghe Temple selects officials so casually. Contribute, don't add credit, just want to come in and be a Shangguan casually?"

Ye Baiting immediately understood, so Sun Zhixing and Lu Yisheng are now in a competitive relationship, working hard for the same position.

"A few of you are invited to come here today, probably because the streets of the capital have been harassed repeatedly, and the perpetrators are the most vicious. Not only you, but people from other places will also invite Beizhen Fusi. This matter is very important, but if there is any clue, Beizhen Fusi I don’t want to miss it.” Ye Baiting’s eyebrows were straightened, his face was serious, “The next question, please listen carefully and answer carefully——did you notice the unique things around you when the accident happened and you ran subconsciously? What is your first impression when you meet someone you are familiar with? Do you remember the smell on the other person and the direction they came from?"

"Master Lu, you are old, you come first."

"At that time, there was a sudden chaos. Everyone panicked, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. When I found my nephew, the three of them were together. The first thing I saw was Mu An, followed by Tang Feihan. My nephew is hiding behind them, as if... came from the west? Mu An seems to have fallen, and his body is a little dirty, nothing else."

Ye Baiting turned to Mu An: "Is that so?"

Mu An sighed slightly: "Yes, the chaos was too fast at that time, I didn't pay attention for a while, and fell down."

"When exactly did you fall, do you still have an impression?"

"Probably... when you met Tang Feihan?"

"How did you fall?"

"It's about to arrive at the appointed time. My friends didn't come, but the street was in chaos. I was very worried. I wanted to go to find them. Maybe I was too excited when I saw Brother Tang. I didn't pay attention to my feet. fell."

"That is to say, you can't pay attention to the appearance of the other party at that time?"

"Not really, he was also very worried, similar to me, no difference, he was startled when I fell, he hurried forward, the fan in his hand was squeezed out."

Ye Baiting turned to Tang Feihan: "Is that so?"

Tang Feihan cupped his hands: "That's true."

Ye Baiting: "So it was the two of you who met Lu Xingming together? How was his situation at that time?"

"Yes, we have found each other. Of course we will be worried about brother Xingming. He is the youngest of the three of us, so he will worry a little bit." Tang Feihan seemed to be thinking of what happened not long ago, and he still had lingering fears. "We found him. It was also very fast, but his position was not very good at that time, a small ball fell not far from his feet, and the explosion was loud, and he was frightened, so we let him follow the two of us."

Ye Baiting: "Which direction did Lu Xingming come from? Are there any unusual marks on his body?"

"Southwest, on your body..." Tang Feihan seemed to be unable to remember clearly, turned his head and asked Mu An to confirm, "It seems to smell like gunpowder smoke?"

Mu An thought for a while, then nodded: "It should be that the small ball exploded too close, and it accidentally touched the body."
