The first work of the imperial prison

Following Ban and An's talk, Ye Baiting understood.

During Ying Baisu's growth process, her biological mother died early and her father was absent. She was basically raised by a servant's mother. Everyone will always pay more attention to her younger brother. Her love for her is only material. She can get what she wants and spend money. Running water is fine, but if you want something else, you can't - you are the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, and you have to abide by the rules of the Hou Mansion.

It's not that she is unambitious, she was angry at an ignorant age, and she made a fuss twice, but it passed quickly, because the punishment rules of Ying Gonghou's mansion made her understand why she was able to have a good life, and she will continue to think about it in the future Have it, or don't want it anymore, think about it yourself.

She yearns for freedom, but she dare not rush out, she is greedy for the wealth and honor of the Marquis Mansion, and she dare not give up, thinking that no one takes her seriously, no one cares about her, she is not reconciled, so she wants to find someone who cares about her people.

But the rules of the Hou's Mansion are strict, she has no chance to meet foreign men, and it's not convenient, what about the mansion?

She knows that she has been abandoned since she was born, a tool for marriage, and she will always marry in the future. She doesn't care about losing her virginity, she just wants to find someone who treats herself sincerely, and always puts it first in her heart She wants to taste this kind of feeling of being truly loved and loved, even if only for a few years.

or……

Ye Baiting analyzed whether her behavior was mixed with revenge.Isn't the Hou's mansion very strict, only giving her money and not caring for her, and putting her in a mold where no mistakes are allowed?Then she will make the most unacceptable mistake for a boudoir girl, lose her virginity, and come to slap the Houfu in the face. Anyway, when the time comes, you will have to help cover it up, otherwise it would be embarrassing, wouldn't it?

"How did the factory owner know such secrets?" Ye Baiting only cared about one question, accuracy.

Ban He is very stable: "Young master, don't worry, there were some things in the Hou's mansion in the early years, and we had an intersection with our family. These are the things we learned at the time, and we can't be wrong. If Jin Yiwei needs it, our family can transfer the file and submit it. Hall as evidence."

Ye Baiting thanked him, and pondered: "Then Ying Baisu doesn't really admire the housekeeper...?"

"Our family can't talk casually about this. Xu Kai was still young back then, and he is not as ugly as he is now," Ban He'an said in a cryptic voice, "Our family just asked by the way when we were doing something. Xu Kai can win the favor of the eldest lady, whether he has a different mind, needs to be confirmed by Jin Yiwei."

Ye Baiting thought for a moment, and seeing that Ban and An hadn't spoken any more, he turned to R&F: "Where is Master Fu, do you have any information that I need to convey to the commander?"

R&F put on a show: "Oh, our place is very simple, it's about the second wife of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Cai."

This is not a very simple atmosphere, Ye Baiting's spirit came again: "Please tell me."

R&F: "Young Master, what kind of woman do you think Mrs. Cai is?"

Ye Baiting thought for a while: "Cai's amnesia, she can't see much at the moment, but she seems to be very tenacious."

R&F immediately stretched out his hands and applauded: "That's right, it's tenacity! The young master's eyes are so good!"

Ban He An Xin snorted, and gave him a sidelong glance——

You're the one who flatters, you're the one who compliments others, thinking that other people are your mistresses, and that's what you do?What kind of person is the little son, you better save it.

Fulixing doesn't care what the other party thinks, and it's over by expressing itself: "Originally, our family is not very familiar with things about foreigners, but who told us that our family has a god-grandson who happens to be from the same hometown as the Cai family. Know her about..."

Ban and An put the teacup lid on the teacup with a 'snap' sound. What does it mean to be just right? Did they check it on purpose?

Fu Lixing was not happy, and looked over with dark eyes: "But the tea is too hot, can't hold it?"

Would you like to be quiet, I didn't bother you when you spoke just now, talk about martial arts!

Ban and An sighed: "Oh, I'm old, sometimes I can't keep up with my hands and feet."

Of course he did it on purpose, just to interrupt other people's rhythm quietly, but this kind of small trick can only be used once, and if it is too much, it will appear low-level, and the young master is obviously very interested in this information.

Fu Lixing said again: "If Mrs. Cai has no name or surname, that's fine. Our grandson may not remember it, but he is a very famous person in the local area!"

Ye Baiting smiled: "I also ask the factory owner to give me advice."

"I can't talk about giving advice, but if I can do my best to help the young master, our family will be satisfied," Fu Lixing said with a smile, "This Mrs. Cai has killed people before."

"Have you killed someone?"

"It's not a real murder, it's just a rogue, a debt collector."

Fu Lixing opened his mouth slowly, telling about the past years, Cai's background was not good, his father was a gambler, he would hide whenever he encountered debt collection, and of course Cai was unwilling to use his daughter to pay off the debt, and he was used to running away, but no matter where he hid Wherever it is, it will always be found, and there is no peace every day.

That time the person who came to collect the debt was a gangster, he had bullied her earlier, this time he was also chasing the debt, and by the way, he wanted to take advantage of it, but of course Mrs Cai refused, no matter how he ran, he couldn't escape it, so he ran to the riverside, maybe he wanted to What's more, if you can't run, you can die. It's over. She didn't expect that she was fine, but the little bastard stumbled and fell into the river...

The punk drowned.

What exactly happened during the process, whether there was a push and confrontation, whether there was a physical collision, whether there was intentional pushing, because there were no witnesses, no one knew, only the fact that she was alive and the gangster was dead.

The job of the little gangster is not very serious, and of course his temperament is not good, but he is also an ordinary person, and there is a blind old lady at home. The government believes that although the little gangster has bullied Mrs. Cai, he has not caused any substantial harm to her. Most of the injuries are just scaring behaviors, and at most she has done it twice, but if she killed someone, she was at fault.

She didn't kill anyone with her own hands, but she caused the death of others. Does she have to bear some responsibility?

"Ms. Cai fled for a few days, and when she came back, she kowtowed to the blind old lady of the gangster, saying that she would raise her in the future. She is also a cruel person. She knows that she is a woman, and it is inconvenient to do anything, so she sharpens her kitchen knife at night and takes it with her every day. On her body, she is not afraid of being molested by others, she is not afraid of gossiping, if someone asks for debts again, she will show her knife, saying that she has nothing to do with her father, that beast is not her father at all, she should take care of what should be her, what should not be her She won't give you a penny, you have to force it, okay, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, she is a murderer, everyone just dies!"

"A ruthless person is afraid of an even more ruthless person. Slowly, she managed to get on with her life. She opened a steamed stuffed bun shop. Somehow, she got to know bandits. She seemed to have a good relationship with people. Others said Let me tell you that she is a female bandit who commits murder and arson, commits all kinds of crimes, and runs a steamed stuffed bun shop..."

"She lived like this, obviously she couldn't make any bosom friends, and later, the gambling father died, and another unlucky thing happened, and she ran into the hands of the old Hou Ye, who used some means to make her She survived, but there is one requirement—she has to marry his second son, Ying Pu Xin."

Fulixing sipped tea slowly, and sighed: "She is a girl, what can she do? Just get married. But where in the Hou's mansion, there are rules everywhere, and everything is upright. She grew up as a wild girl. Can you bear it? I heard that before moving to the capital, he often caused troubles at home, and the old Hou Ye jumped his feet in anger, and still had contacts with bandits..."

Ye Baiting quietly listened to these words, and seemed to realize something: "What is the factory owner's idea?"

Fulixing covered the teacup and put it on the table: "Mrs. Cai didn't really marry Ying Puxin, and it's not like whether she likes it or not. What does she think in her heart, what will she do...Young master should be able to guess?"

Ye Baiting pondered: "It is generally accepted by the factory that Mrs. Cai is the murderer in this case."

"Although our family handles few cases, we have a lot of experience in various scenes. Mrs. Cai rushed out of the murder scene, so she can get away with it? Maybe she deliberately confused her eyes with all the methods, such as this amnesia—"

Fu Lixing smiled mysteriously: "There is a kind of medicine in the Jianghu, called Chen Yuan Duan. If you take it, you can forget the world of the world. You don't know anything, including who you are, but you can wake it up. This kind of medicine needs medicine, and the medicine is to break the world. The kalpa is also the way to lead the world..."

Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes: "That is to say, people who have taken Chenyuanduan, what kind of medicine they used to induce amnesia, and then take the same medicine to induce amnesia, will remember."

Fulixing nodded: "Young master is smart. Our family believes that Cai's amnesia is mostly true because she took this medicine... She planned it a long time ago, maybe she just killed someone, deliberately, and nothing happened afterwards. I don’t remember, if I say I don’t know, I really don’t know anything, innocent and pitiful, of course the government couldn’t find any flaws, after the incident, she took the same medicine to restore her memory, isn’t it perfect?”

Ban He'an: "Mr. Fuchang is really well-informed, he knows everything in the world."

Oh, have you used it?

R&F Xingxin said that we are not the same, as if our family does not know your secret dark means: "The truth of the case, our family does not dare to be sure, only that there is such a possibility."

Ban He'an: "It's not impossible for Xu Kai. Look at the youngest brother as a concubine, and he can sit still in response to Bai Su's actions?"

R&F: "But didn't another dead person be found a few days ago? Could it be because of Ying Baisu? Should Mr. Banchang be more considerate?"

Ban He'an just laughed: "How do you know that our family didn't think carefully? Back then, Ying Baisu was forced to marry, the men in the Hou's mansion, but everyone has 'credit'."

Ye Baiting: ...

You all said that you are not familiar with the case. Didn’t you know everything?

He thought for a while, and said: "Regardless of the second wife Cai, the eldest daughter Ying Bai Su, and the housekeeper Xu Kai, they all have no gratitude to the Hou Fu, and even have quite strong hatred."

The motive in this case may not be love, but hatred?

Thinking about it carefully, the second wife, Mrs. Lu, is also the same. Just looking at how fierce the anti-marriage was back then, you can tell her perception, she must not like it.

"It's a pity that the Hou Mansion has strict rules and the fence is too strict. No matter how many there are, our family won't know."

"If Fusi of Beizhen needs help, he can ask Dongchang for help at any time."

Ye Baiting thanked him with a smile: "Mr. Lao is worried about it, but there is no need. Jin Yiwei will take care of his own affairs."

Fulihang: ...

Ben and An gave him a sideways look, yes!Tell you to talk too much, slap your face!You don't know Jin Yiwei's abilities, and you still want to meddle?

R & F forced his respect: "It's all about sharing the worries of the present and doing things for Dazhao. I dare not say that I worry about it. I only hope that the case will be solved as soon as possible, the truth will be revealed, and the souls of the deceased will be comforted."

The words are so nice, of course Ye Baiting also cupped his hands and said, "The factory is kind, I will write it down for Jin Yiwei first."

"Commander there—"

Ye Baiting smiled: "I will be happy to pass on the kindness of the two factory owners."

Ban and An said: "Recently, I heard that the young master has shown his skills. He can use mud to fill the skin and flesh on top of the human skull to restore the appearance of the dead... But that's the case? I don't know Does your family have the honor to take a closer look?"

R&F immediately followed up: "To tell the truth, young master, our family is also a little curious."

Ye Baiting: "You two are interested, I have nothing to hide here, please—"

Skull restoration is a technology, not a secret. No matter who wants to see it, he is willing to show it openly. If he wants to learn it, it may be very difficult.

The lighting in the work room is not very good, the temperature is also low, and the smell is not pleasant. Ye Baiting did this work directly in the warm pavilion. He stretched out his hand and invited the two father-in-laws over.

The windows of the Nuan Pavilion are bright and clean, and the light is very good. Despite the wind outside, the sun shines in, giving it a warm feeling, spreading a faint halo on the table.The table is a slightly long desk with small drawers, which he temporarily requisitioned as a workbench. The table is covered with rice papers of various sizes, and there are various calculations and records on it, as well as different characters and symbols. , no one else can recognize it.

There are also rulers of different sizes, bald charcoal pencils, discarded paper balls...

It cannot be described as neat and clean, strictly speaking it is a bit messy.But this kind of chaos is not ugly, it is an orderly scene in chaos, which makes people feel awe-inspiring.

The skull restoration work is not over yet, and only a prototype can be seen, the face, nose, forehead, and chin. The curvature of these places is obvious, and the facial features are not so clear. The yellow clay used is a little black after drying, and it still looks Some scary, but much better than Bai Sensen's skull.

"This..." R & F walked around the workbench, and praised without hesitation, "Young master has such amazing skills! Filling a human figure with a skull is unheard of, and the young master's achievement can be recorded in history!"

As he was talking, his eyes slid across the room, especially the garlands hanging by the window, which had been dried but well preserved, and he knew it in his heart.

The cherishing and attention of others is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

As early as last year when it was snowing in the twelfth lunar month, he wanted to go into this small Nuan Pavilion to have a look, but he never had the chance, but finally he was able to come today, and he gained a lot of money. The path he chose was the right one!

Ban Hean's face was calm, and his expression didn't change. He could also see what R&F could see. Not only did he confirm that the direction was correct, but he also observed a little bit of the house decoration, the owner's preference, and thought in his heart that he would go back later. I have to think about what to send, and I have to send it ingeniously, and I have to send it to my heart...

Having won the apex of others, are you afraid that others will always be cold-faced and always reject people thousands of miles away?

Having said this and looked at the things, the two thought about leaving.

Fu Lixing smiled: "Our family often encounters troubles, and we really need guidance. If the young master doesn't dislike it, our family may often come to learn from it?"

Ban He'an: "The task setting of the East Factory, and its own strengths, are mostly about finding out information. On the contrary, our West Factory really needs to investigate and handle cases. If you don't mind the trouble, I may ask you to give me some advice when you are free. ?”

The ancients valued craftsmanship very much. If someone else had to change this kind of requirement, there is a high probability that it would not work. However, in the education Ye Baiting received, the dissemination of knowledge was very welcome: "I don't have any opinions, but I need to ask the commander."

"In this way, our family will wait for the good news."

"Beizhen Fusi is busy with affairs, so it's inconvenient to disturb me. Let's say goodbye here. You don't need to send more, young master."

The task that came here today was completed, and the results of the communication were satisfactory. The two father-in-laws were in a very good mood, but seeing each other's faces, they were not so comfortable. They walked out of the door, still running on each other.

Ban He'an: "Young master is a real capable person. You don't want to be flattered. You should change your habit of flattering your master and empress."

Fu Lixing: "I think you should change it. You are high on the top all day long, and you think you are the master of your family. Wherever your seniority is, you have to be respected as an individual?"

Heh, dog stuff.

Hmph, old dog.

The two scolded each other in their hearts, shook their sleeves again, turned around and left with their backs facing each other.

Obviously they are going back in the same direction, the same imperial city, but they just don't go the same way, even the palace gates don't go in the same way, each has its own direction.

……

Ye Baiting sorted out the latest news, thoughtful.

Love, hate, medicine...

If that explains the motivations of most of the people on this case, what about Da Madam?Where is her landing point?He is not afraid of thinking too much when handling a case, but he is afraid of not being able to think of it. He has thought about all aspects, and after careful elimination, he will get the desired result...

"What are you thinking, so fascinated?"

Someone patted the top of her head lightly, Ye Baiting turned her head and was shocked when she saw Ye Baishao: "Sister?"

Ye Baishao narrowed her eyes: "Is your sister so scary?"

Ye Baiting immediately corrected his expression: "No, no, why are you here?"

Ye Baishao: "I can't come?"

Ye Baiting: ...

Just guessing casually, you can know that Beizhen Fusi's reputation outside is not very good, no one always wants to come here, and my sister has never been here before, this time I will come... Maybe Qiu Xunqing mentioned something?

Maybe he still sent a message to let the people below recognize his face. His sister came over, so there was no need to stop him.

Ye Baishao put the food box on the table, looked at the layout of the room: "It's not bad here."

food?

Ye Baiting stretched out his hand to lift the food box, but Ye Baishao slapped his paw before touching it: "It's raw!"

"raw?"

"Stupid, don't you smell it?" Ye Baishao moved the food box back, "Just now the commander passed by the Zhuzhi Building and said that you are tired these days and have a loss of appetite. Seeing that I am idle, I have given you enough money, let me come over and make it for you, as a reward to my subordinates, he will come back later, and by the way, I can get some light and have a taste."

Ye Baiting paused, and asked hesitantly, "Then...you didn't make things difficult for him, did you?"

"He's not you, why should I make things difficult for him?" Ye Baishao sighed, "I'm busy day and night, I'm so extravagant to have a full meal, and I'm worried about you, a little thing, I'm afraid I'll slap him to death You, you have to hold back all the time, how wronged you feel? Brother, we have to be human."

Ye Baiting: ...

"This house is very nice, sunny, and there are earth dragons, it seems that winter doesn't suffer too much..." Ye Baishao quickly saw the dried flower garland hanging by the window, "What is this?"

Ye Baiting's face became hot, he hung the wreath here, in order to let Qiu Xinqing see, and also to tease the other party's sullenness from time to time, who would have thought that there would be a day when his sister would see it!

He began to make up nonsense: "This... I made it up and gave it to the commander, but he confiscated it! He didn't accept it, so I hung it here, let him see it every day, and reminded him every day that he will be my man sooner or later. !"

Ye Baishao: ...

"Brother," she lovingly touched the silly brother's forehead, "It's a good thing we have ambitions, but we shouldn't go too far. You're going to be killed this time, and my sister can't collect your body."

Don't ask, I'm tired of asking.

Ye Baiting raised his eyebrows, angrily: "He dares!"

Ye Baishao's teeth were itchy. If she hadn't seen her younger brother being too thin, she would have slapped him: "Why don't you dare? If you punch him down, you will die! Give me something to eat!"

Ye Baiting puffed out her chest, confidently said, "If you kill me, he will be of no good use! He can't live without me, he can't live without me!"

Ye Baishao: ...

Forget it, let the young people toss about the young people's affairs, it really doesn't work...

She looked at the sky outside the window, in the direction of the bamboo branch building. If it was not possible, she closed the business and took her brother to flee to the end of the world.

There was half-finished work on the workbench in front of the window, Ye Baishao was bold, she was not afraid at all, and she didn't ask, the work related to her younger brother was probably confidential, she knew the rules.

But Ye Baiting remembered the details of the case and asked her: "Sister, I remember the marriage between you and your brother-in-law... the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the tokens you exchanged long ago, but you seem to have escaped marriage?"

"How many years has it been, do you still remember?" Ye Baishao felt a little unnatural, and sipped her tea, "Marriage and living together are a lifetime thing, must two people like each other, I only knew your brother-in-law at that time Name, I have never seen him before, who knows what he looks like, what kind of temperament, ugly or not, fierce or not, could it be some kind of garlic nose and catfish mouth, why should I marry him? Because he is kind-hearted and determined to save the common people Is it?"

Ye Baiting: ...

"But I remember my father said that Zhou Zheng, brother-in-law who looks good, is also straightforward and cute."

"With his eyesight, he raised such a white-eyed wolf..." Ye Baishao coughed, and the son did not blame his father, "Anyway, I can't do it."

"Then why did you marry again later? Was it because you were worried that your parents would be sad?"

"How is it possible, the kindness of parents' upbringing, I remember clearly, they are not easy, one is stupid and easy to be cheated, and the other thinks that suffering is a blessing, as long as people are good, there will be blessings, if I don't look at it, dad I don’t know how many times I’ve been bullied!” Ye Baishao rested her chin and spoke lazily, “One size counts for one size, they were deceived by others, I can’t be deceived by others, filial piety must be filial, not stupid Xiao, if I don't take responsibility for myself and live a good life, how will I take care of them in the future?"

"That……"

"After marrying your brother-in-law, I really fell in love with him," Ye Baishao snorted, "Your brother-in-law is a ghost, he is not a good person, but he treats me well and suits my taste. After such a long time, who can say for sure about feelings? He likes me now and is willing to live with me. Who knows if getting married will change his appearance? I have saved a lot of money, and I have also thought about the dowry The method is to put them in different places. If you are unhappy after being married, you will be a married woman anyway. She is no longer a member of the Ye family. You can mess around as you like, and it doesn’t matter if you run away. Your sister and I still have skills, so where can’t we make a way out?”

"Who knows that your brother-in-law is such a big man, I will go out to play with my little sister for two days, and he will miss me and want to cry. I am so useless...every day I am afraid that I will run away, and the other man will not be at home for a day, and he will not come back for a day. Five times, he had to take a look at me to feel at ease, and introduced all the brothers to me, and gave me all the wealth, thinking that with so many eyeliners, if I run away one day, he will know right away that I have a lot of money Now, maybe he can't bear his ability to make money..."

Ye Baiting understood: "So you are willing to live with your brother-in-law because you like it."

Ye Baishao just laughed: "As for this woman, there are those who resign themselves to their fate and follow the arrangements, and some who are ambitious. Look at those who are ambitious, some of them seem to have resigned to their fate and married someone, but it may not be true. What you see is only a part of it. , All the roads ahead are their own choices, because they like it and want to go this way."

Ye Baiting was thoughtful: "If you like it, you will try your best to protect it... Are you reluctant to say a serious word?"

Ye Baishao is a very transparent person, she doesn't know about work and homicide information, and she doesn't look at it out of curiosity, but when her younger brother asks such a question, it is obviously because he is confused in this regard.She thought about it seriously, and said: "Not necessarily, it depends on the person, the depth of love, the seriousness of responsibility, some people's expressions are just the opposite, the favorite, the most serious. If this kind of awkward Man, you can tell who he likes just by looking at who he scolds."

He likes whoever he scolds... That's right, why did he use all his brains to restore the skull, and he didn't understand the logic of such a simple behavior!

Ye Baiting's eyes lit up, he seemed to know who the person was having an affair with!

Just at this time, Shen Jiang and Qiu Yiqing came back and opened the door: "Hurry up, young master, I found something new!"

"I also have new clues here."

The three of them were extremely skilled in their movements. They greeted Ye Baishao, one of them moved the small table on the table, prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the other opened the small whiteboard, took out a charcoal pen, and wrote and scratched on it. Too much!

Ye Baishao pressed her hand, did not let her younger brother get up, brought over the tea that had been brewed next to him, and put a few snacks along the way: "You guys are busy, I'll borrow a kitchen and cook something delicious for you!"

She came out, closed the door for the three of them, looked up at the sky, it was still early, not long after noon, it seemed that this meal could be cooked slowly, just in time for dinner!

When other people solve the case, they are energetic and happy. She is very happy looking at the dishes on the chopping board. She likes cooking the most, especially cooking for her relatives. She will not get tired no matter how many times she eats!

Today, I'll let you all try my sister's unique craftsmanship!
