The first work of the imperial prison

February [-], the beginning of Chen Shi.

The brocade guards had finished their morning drills, each took their jobs, went out for business, and was on duty. There was a lot of traffic coming and going in the Fusi gate of Beizhen, but it was solemn and quiet, and the busy atmosphere was as usual.

Shen Jiang ran errands faster than anyone else, and after a while, the main hall was ready, and he called his soldiers to come over in a spirited manner: "Go, tell the young master that I am ready—"

Just as Xiaobing was about to send a message, Shen Jiang stopped him again: "Wait—"

He stroked his chin and thought for a while, then asked, "Is the Commander back?"

Xiao Bing happened to come over from the backyard after his shift, and nodded upon hearing the words: "I'm back! I just came back. I just saw Xuan Guang jumping back to the stable, urging someone to serve black beans to him at the top of his voice."

"That's fine, don't notify the young master," Shen Jiang rolled his eyes, and said, "You go directly to the commander and tell him that I'm ready and can start at any time. Please ask him to come over."

The little soldier was startled: "This...boss, is it a little inappropriate for me to go directly to the commander? Why don't the commander throw me out?"

Shen Jiang directly patted the back of the soldier's head, quite resentful: "You know fart! Go if you are told, you are so timid, how can you follow me in the future!" He looked around, whispered Added a sentence, "If you are really scared, you can ask one more question - do you want to inform the young master?"

Xiao Bing: ...

Forget it, it's just a matter of a board, so he gritted his teeth and went.

I was still trembling at first, fearing that something might happen, but it turned out that when I reported it outside, the atmosphere was really not very friendly. When I dared to ask, "Should I inform the young master?", the voice of the commander immediately came from inside: "No, This envoy will make arrangements."

The atmosphere is also blooming with the warmth of spring!The commander's voice can be so gentle!

The footsteps of Xiaobing's departure were a little fluttering.

He is still very young, he has been doing all kinds of training in Jinyiwei, he rarely has the opportunity to come outside, and he doesn't know much, he never expected that his family seems to be indifferent, but in fact they are very smart!No, I have to listen to Master Baihu carefully in the future!

Qiu Yiqing changed her clothes and went to the Nuan Pavilion.

The Nuan Pavilion is built facing the sun. Now the weather is getting warmer. Except for the slight cold at night, as long as the sun is shining during the day, the Nuan Pavilion is very warm. There is almost no need to burn the ground dragon. When you open the door, the sun is shining brightly, and the room is clean and tidy, with a very refreshing feeling. The grass is stained with the smell of rain and dew, which is the smell after washing.

No one was in the room.

Qiu Xunqing glanced at the wreath hanging by the window. The flowers woven on it had all dried up, and I don’t know how Xiao Zuo handled them. The beauty, the dried flowers have the temperament of dried flowers, just hanging by the window so comfortably, with two small bells, it looks pretty good.

After staying in the room for a while, Qiu Yiqing withdrew and walked towards Wu Zuofang.

From a distance, I heard the voice of the voice inside, as crisp as pearls and jade, as clear as a mountain spring, when I opened the door, I saw the figure of the man under the sun, with thin shoulders, thin waist, and slender knuckles wearing white gloves , There is sunshine jumping.

He is here.

Corruption, decay, blood stains... The smell of a house has never been very pleasant. No one likes the smell of a dead person, but as long as this person is around, everything seems to be less lifeless and full of life, as if as long as he is there, There is no bad place in the world.

When Ye Baiting heard the voice, he turned his head and was stunned: "Are you back?"

Qiu Yiqing nodded slightly: "The last matter to be investigated has already been resolved. Shen Jiang in the main hall is ready for the last interrogation."

Ye Baiting immediately handed the post-mortem form to Shang Lu, took off his gloves, and took off his hood: "Then shall we go there now?"

"Not urgent."

Qiu Xunqing saw the blood stains on the corners of Xiao Wuzuo's lapel: "Go back and change clothes first."

Ye Baiting looked down at his clothes, and stroked his forehead helplessly: "I have to change it, don't scare people... The commander is with me? By the way, what news did you just get?"

"Are you sure?" Qiu Yiqing's eyes darkened slightly.

Ye Baiting paused, and realized what was going on with the two of them: "It seems... not so sure."

Qiu Yiqing teased everyone, and turned around first: "Let's go."

Only then did Ye Baiting realize that the dog man seemed to be laughing, and he was teasing him just now!That's right, the Commander has always kept a clear distinction between public and private... Even if he is not clear occasionally, the attribute of workaholic is a certainty. When he is busy, he may not see him for a few days, and he can even forget about falling in love. Now the confession is about to be closed. At such a serious and important moment, How could it be possible to drop the chain!

It's just a change of outer clothes, not from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, what are you afraid of?

Ye Baiting was more calm, and asked as he walked: "So we found the place where the murderer made the 'Little Ball'?"

Qiu Yiqing: "Well, it's at the place we guessed..."

The two of them were talking, and walked into the Nuan Pavilion, Ye Baiting undressed gracefully, took off her coat, took out a more suitable one from the cabinet, put it on, put her hand on the buckle, saw Qiu Xingqing fell silent , and asked: "Why don't you talk?"

Qiu Yiqing really couldn't bear the stimulation, Xiao Zuo's body was tightly clothed, and nothing that should be exposed was exposed, and he couldn't even see the small collarbone that he used to see, but he looked like he was wearing a snow-white jacket...

"I come."

He took a step forward, seeming a little anxious, and with all his strength, he wrapped Ye Baiting's clothes tightly, and then stretched out his hand to help him fasten the buttons.

Ye Baiting: ...

Can't you slow down!Everyone was strangled to death!

Qiu Xunqing: "Don't take off your clothes in front of others from now on, no one is allowed."

Ye Baiting looked down suspiciously, she was really wearing clothes and pants, not some kind of gauze or a small piece of cloth, right?Not even big pants, legs are not exposed, this is unbearable?

He didn't think about what to do in the future, whether he should pay attention to the scale when flirting with others, and whether it would be too exciting, he just didn't understand, so...why?Why can't you bear it to this extent?

After putting on the clothes and tidying them up carefully without any pleats, Qiu Xunqing backed away: "Okay, let's go?"

Ye Baiting happened to look through the window and saw the main hall of Beizhen Fusi.

The gate is high, with black plaques and gold characters, and the roof ridges are full of beasts, majestic and majestic.

Every murder is a pity of life, a dimness of light, and there is only one thing he has to do from beginning to end, so that the truth can be presented, the facts will not be distorted, and the law will not be absent. If he can warn the world , learn to reflect, learn to cherish... He will recognize more what he has done, which has very important meaning.

In this case, the small ball designed by Lei Huo Dan, similar panic incidents, instigation, revenge, Blue Bird's escape plan, and the pain brought by the original family——

Ye Baiting closed his eyes, and all the clues were connected into a network in his mind, every key node, every piece of key evidence, what was found now, what is missing, what is the key point of this questioning, and how to do it for the best effect ...

Time seems to be frozen at this moment, flowing slowly with his heartbeat and breath, this is his world, he can break everything and resist everything!

When he opened his eyes again, Ye Baiting's eyes were bright and moist, and there was a slight smile on the corners of his brows and eyes, shining with confidence: "Let's go Commander, let's go together and solve this case!"

Qiu Yiqing had to control herself very hard so as not to shake the other party's hand: "Yes."

……

main hall.

As before, Qiu Yiqing sat behind the desk in the middle of the north, just sitting solemnly, without saying a word, like a needle in the sea, no one dared to be disrespectful, no one dared to make noise; The material is the same as the shape of the table but one size smaller. Ye Baiting sits behind him, with thin shoulders and a thin waist, and delicate features. Under his gaze, no one dared to question, and he had to be careful even if he wanted to lie, because this one - not only could make the dead speak, but he could also read people's hearts.

As always, Shen Jiang didn't arrange any seats for himself, and stood on the right side of the commander's case, opposite Ye Baiting, his eyes were burning, and he glanced at the suspects in the hall one by one.

Sun Zhixing, an official of Honglu Temple, Lu Yisheng who was waiting to be dispatched, Zeng Sanniang, the proprietress of Liulifang, Mu An, the son of King Mujun, and his friend, Tang Feihan, one of the three friendship alliances of young people.

Shen Jiang cleared his throat, and raised his voice: "Under the imperial city, in an important place in the capital, someone dares to create panic in the street. The nature is extremely bad. The Fusi of Beizhen accepted the emperor's order, and the command envoy took us to investigate, day and night. Mei, don't dare to delay for a moment, until now, the case has finally come to light, and a few days ago, there was another deceased person in this case, how many of you should know?"

Everyone didn't speak, but the subtle expressions were obvious, no one could remain indifferent, especially Mu An and Tang Feihan, the shock and pain on their faces were still unresolved.

However, when the hall official asked, it was inappropriate for no one to speak, so Zeng Sanniang opened her mouth: "No one should know about such a big matter as the death of a person? Previously, they were doing things on the street, throwing small bombs, and nothing happened. Cheng wanted to do evil by himself, but in the end the retribution fell on him, and he was killed by the explosion, so he can no longer harm others, which is a good thing."

Tang Feihan and Mu An immediately turned around, neither of them had a good-looking face, and the former one said: "The dead are the greatest, can't you put some virtue in your mouth!"

Another said: "The facts of the case are still undecided, so it's better not to cover it up, or does this lady think that the Jinyiwei of Beizhen Fusi combined to handle the case is not as clear as your brain?"

Zeng Sanniang was annoyed: "Why are you rushing at me? You don't understand the world at this age? I just watched the scene not vivid, and I just came out to make things up, just say something casually, and I've helped you guys." You are so busy, is it worth being so serious?"

Ye Baiting slowly opened his mouth: "After Jin Yiwei's investigation, it was determined that Lu Xingming was not the one who committed the vicious case this time, and his death was not accidental, but man-made. Why did Zeng Sanniang think that the murderer was him? Who told you?"

Zeng Sanniang was a little embarrassed: "This...doesn't everyone say that?"

Ye Baiting: "Who are you?"

Zeng Sanniang looked at Lu Yisheng, but didn't say anything, but everyone understood the meaning of this look.

Ye Baiting asked Mu An and Tang Feihan again: "Do you two know that something happened to Lu Xingming, and his uncle, Lu Yisheng raised a concubine outside and gave birth to a son?"

The two looked at Lu Yisheng unkindly for a moment: "It's hard not to know."

"He knows the whole capital."

"No," Lu Yisheng felt that the atmosphere was not right, and simply stood up, "What do you mean by saying that? Could it be that I am the murderer?"

The hall was silent for a moment, everyone was silent, Qi Qi looked over with a single sentence in his eyes - isn't it?

Lu Yisheng flicked his sleeves in an instant: "It's ridiculous, what am I trying to do!"

Mu An closed his eyes: "Of course it's to let others make room for you!"

"Mu An, you...you are used to being knowledgeable and easy-going, how can you be so dull!"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you," Mu An looked into his eyes, straight and determined, "I just want to ask you, did your wife, Li Shi, also die at your hands? My father's death has nothing to do with you. It doesn't matter!"

Lu Yisheng was stunned: "You actually...doubt me?"

Mu An: "Why can't I doubt you! My father has been with you for several years, and our friendship has been very strong. What I have seen is your loyalty and integrity, but you are ungrateful, betray your conscience, and destroy your nature. It is my father who misjudged you." Yes! How many of your past official careers were recommended by my father, you know in your heart, how many times your achievements were mediocre, and my father believed you when you talked about the hardships, just wait for you to live up to your original intention and make a comeback, but what will you give my father in return? ?Integrate into the 'local water and soil', proficient in various 'hidden rules', use this to 'create' political achievements, and then rely on my father's hand to rise to the top. Now even the first wife has been abandoned, and you have a concubine outside and gave birth to a son. If we had admitted at the time and took them home properly, we would still have looked at you highly, but what have you done? You have concealed all the past, hoping that no one would know, but the fire cannot be contained in the paper, and everything will end You are about to see the light of day, you are worried that everything you own will disappear, and you don’t want to damage the future road even a little bit, even if you can’t continue to rise and get more benefits, at least you have to keep the existing foundation, so you move You killed my wife, Li Shi, my father, and Lu Xingming, right?"

In front of so many people being exposed wrong, Lu Yisheng couldn't hold back his face, his eyes widened, and he pointed his finger at the other party: "You are so bloody and unreasonable! You have evidence for killing me!"

Because of the scramble to fill the official position, Sun Zhixing had long thought that Lu Yisheng was not pleasing to the eye, and he was happy when others were unhappy. At this time, of course he had to add insult to injury: "Such an obvious thing needs evidence? No, such an obvious thing is already evidence. "He shook his head slightly, and said earnestly, "I said Master Lu, why are you doing this? Your Madam is not a savage person, the outside world has a good impression of her, and you have relied on her to help you in your official career all these years Do some socializing, and heard that she fell into the water and encountered cold in her boudoir, and was judged by the doctor to be infertile, she has already accepted this fact, if you want a biological son, if you want to put it bluntly, your Madam may not refuse."

Lu Yisheng's entire face was flushed, "It's your turn to intervene in my family's affairs!"

Sun Zhixing spread his hands: "I can't help it. Now it's not just your family's business, Mr. Lu. The case is so serious that you can't even see through it?"

The official above opened his mouth, and before he could ask any more questions, the suspects at the bottom started tearing up. Shen Jiang opened his eyes and was amazed. Even though he is now a hundred households, this is the first time I have seen such a scene. !

He quietly moved to the side, and carefully asked the commander with a wink——you don't care?

The Commander is drinking tea. The Commander finished drinking the tea. The Commander looked at Zuo Zuo who was sitting in front on the left. The Commander... was very busy. He was so busy that he didn't have time to look at him.

Shen Jiang had no choice but to turn to the young master—you are the god of Beizhen Fusi, you are the backbone of Beizhen Fusi, if you say something, is this plausible!

The young master is drinking tea, the young master finished his tea, the young master turned sideways quietly, and gestured a heart to the conductor with his fingers, the young master...is also very busy, and is busy, and has no time to pay attention to the hundred households poking aside.

Shen Jiang looked at his boss, then at the front of the hall, at the records next to him, and then at the too bright sunshine outside... Two fingers formed into pincers, and he pinched himself hard.

Almost screamed out.

He is not dreaming, he is trying a case!

Shen Baihu stretched out his hand back aggrievedly, without any more instructions, he had doubts in his heart, but he didn't do anything unnecessary, he looked at it slowly, and finally came to his senses... Silently pointed at the young master thumbs up.

Yes, that's it, good job, tear them up!You suspects tore out the results yourself, exposed the flaws, and saved us a lot of work!

As for fighting, escaping or something, that's impossible, with a hundred households like him watching, and so many Jinyi guards outside, it's a big deal!Anyway, it's only in the morning, and everyone is full and full, so it's not too late, so we can afford to wait!

"...I've said it all, I don't need to do this kind of thing! It's more beneficial for me to have Prince Mu alive. He's just cold-tempered, and he's not an unreasonable monster. As long as there is love in the past, I will go too far." , if he gets angry again, he will hang me out for a few days at most, and he will definitely not become an enemy! My wife is very affectionate to me, and I am not blind. People who are stingy don't like to be jealous. The women and children I have outside, I can guarantee that as long as I say it, she will take it home. It's not that I dare not do this, it's because I respect her that I Didn't do it right away! All the things you said are trivial things that can be resolved, and I don't need to kill people!"

Lu Yisheng was going crazy with anger.

The scene seemed to be going nowhere, Tang Feihan opened his mouth, his eyes slightly lowered: "Uncle Lu said that he has never done such a thing, but this junior has a few questions, and I would like to ask you to clarify."

Lu Yisheng was so angry that he didn't have time to yell at others, so another one came, all right: "Speak!"

A majestic official of the imperial court actually showed the aura of not worrying about too many debts, and not itching if too many lice.

Tang Feihan was not as impulsive as others, and was even a little disappointed: "You have said more than once that you are not satisfied with Lu Xingming in front of others, you have said more than once that you don't want this step-son, that you regret choosing him in the first place, and if you have the chance to do it again, even if If you chose a brother who was a few years older than him at that time, you would not choose him, and you even said that you wanted to strangle him to death with your own hands, but you have always disliked him and dissatisfied him, I remember correctly?"

Lu Yisheng: "Why did you mention this suddenly? Just a few angry words..."

"This is not an angry word, you and I both know, this is what you think in your heart." Tang Feihan stared closely at Lu Yisheng's eyes, "You don't like him, why do you want to raise him? Why don't you just give up and let him give birth to him? Your parents are not very good? Your elder brother is not as good at reading as you, but he is kind-tempered, hard-working, and runs the small family with his wife. He has a lot of children. Fortunately, he has a handicraft, and he can live on. They are a loving husband and wife, father is kind and son is filial, each child grows very well, maybe not as promising as you, but everyone is sensible and grateful, parents will protect their children from being bullied, take care of them when they grow up, and never What are you trying to do, children also understand the hard work of their parents, study hard, grow up well, protect themselves, and protect their parents, never greedy for anything... Is this not good? Why did you bring him to your home?"

Lu Yisheng's eyes widened: "What do you know..."

Mu An sighed: "It's Uncle Lu, you don't know. When you take the child home, it's as if you have completed the task, and then you don't care about anything, except money. Stuttering, as soon as the wind blows, he will grow up, and it's time to repay you. What do you want, is a child or a tool? You said that Mrs. Zun never stopped you from having fun outside, so why didn't you give birth outside? One, bring it back to her to raise, as you said, she is very generous, never jealous, knowing that she can't have a child, she can't say anything, why don't you do this? It’s like, adopting a nephew who is not yet one year old—because you already know how you will treat the child when you bring it back, and how the child will grow up. You don’t want your own flesh and blood to be harmed like this...do you want to harm others? ?”

Lu Yisheng rolled his eyes: "I've worked so hard to be an official outside, and spent a lot of money to raise him to such an age, and you actually say that I'm harming him?"

"Why not?" Tang Feihan pursed his lips, "It's great to be rich, because if you pay money, you will raise him and grow up, so you will have the so-called kindness? You must have met your other nephews..."

Lu Yisheng didn't want to hear it at all: "So I was right. I was careless at the time and chose the wrong person! I shouldn't have chosen a dude by nature. I also hoped that the future heir would be good at learning and polite. Look, I raised a What the hell is coming out!"

"Then what did you teach him!"

Tang Feihan stood up straight with a sullen face: "He is a small child, and you asked you to play with him, but you thought he was noisy, so you gave him a reward, and asked the servants to coax him out to play; he said he wanted to study, but you spent a lot I hired the most powerful teacher for a sum of money, and I don’t care if the teacher’s temper is at odds with him, or whether he is suitable for Kaimeng. If you never ask him about his homework, the teacher will gradually be perfunctory; he caused trouble, caused small troubles, and wants your attention Even if you scold a few words, you still find it troublesome and send your servants to deal with it; even if he is sick, no one really cares about him, just say that you can go hungry for two meals... You are so old and have such an official position, you should Understand, in a family, the meaning of the master is the meaning of the servant. If you don't value Lu Xingming, no one will value him. Do you know that he almost starved to death when he was young and didn't even know how to make noise? "

"You think he's a dude, he can't study, he only causes trouble, but he grew up to what he is today, all because of your expectations, all under your training, a little bit of 'correction', you actually said that you are right ?”

Having said that, Mu An tugged Tang Feihan's sleeves, and stood in front of him: "Sorry, we always have some regrets when talking about the past, but Mr. Lu probably doesn't know that Brother Ming was bullied so badly that Guan Little black house, almost died. He once fought because of others scolding you. He also once threw mud balls on other wives for respecting his wife. He was punished by you when he came back. He didn’t let you know about many things. When he was sent away Years later, he never called your parents again, he only called you uncles and aunts, but in his heart, you have always been his parents. You coax him, but none of you object or feel sad, just call him uncle... You don't know how embarrassing and disappointed he is."

"From childhood, he has been longing for his parents. He has never betrayed him, and he has always looked forward to it, but his parents no longer recognize him, and they don't even say 'father and mother' anymore. He knows you don't like him, He also felt like he didn't deserve to be liked, that he didn't deserve it."
