The first work of the imperial prison

Hanrui's identity was exposed, facing other people's insinuated accusations, Jin Yiwei suspected...

"Commander Rong Bao," Geng Yuan turned around quickly loyally, and cupped his hands towards Qiu Yiqing, "The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized. I have kept it secret before, because I don't want outsiders to think about it. Mr. He has framed me, and I am not convinced."

He Yiming clasped his hands behind his back, and said with a smirk: "Master Geng is polite, you have finished everything, and you are justified in what you say, accusing others of framing - this calmness and pride, the lower officials are also convinced."

"you--"

Geng Yuanzhong's face darkened angrily, and instead of confronting him, he continued to turn to Qiu Yiqing: "That Hanrui is indeed the girl I gave to Zhang You, but it was just to make him calm down and stop thinking about it outside... As the chief examiner, I have a great responsibility. The trust of the Holy Majesty is both an honor and a pressure. It is absolutely impossible for me to mess around with the big exam. It's impossible for him, the only way is to be down-to-earth and truly develop his own strength, that's the right way. He doesn't want to, and he still has a lot of complaints, so I will find someone to persuade him and become his motivation... "

"I dare not say that I have broken my heart for my relatives of the younger generation, but I really hope that he will be well. I thought he would be well, but in the end he didn't. I am very disappointed that he is not on the list this time, but I am sorry I swear, his accidental fall from the building has nothing to do with me! On the contrary, Mr. He has tried his best to find out so much and tried his best to arrange things, whether he is suspected of being used secretly, and whether there is something wrong between him and Zhang You's death. Telling secret!"

Ye Baiting listened to the conversation between the two, and seeing the reaction of the two, couldn't help but applaud for them. The sword was so tense that it was almost torn to the surface, and the core and the most important thing hadn't been touched by the words. Confidential things, I can't hold back!

He continued to ask: "Miss Hanrui, where did Master Geng find it?"

"Private nest..." Geng Yuanzhong didn't seem to expect to be asked this question, he paused, "Since Jin Yiwei can find out her nickname, should he have found out her life too?"

"There are so many private nests, how can Mr. Geng be so precise, simple and quick, and decide on her?"

Geng Yuanzhong lowered his eyes and folded his hands in his sleeves: "My cousin and I walk around a lot. I know what flavor I like."

Knowing it is one thing, but finding it accurately and quickly is another. Ye Baiting feels that Qiu Xunqing can indeed consider it. The use of certain special channels... may have 'unexpected' gains.

He looked at He Yiming: "Did Zhang You threaten to blackmail you?"

He Yiming raised his eyelids: "Didn't you all see the way he talked to me? He has always been tit-for-tat and his words are extreme."

Ye Baiting stared at him: "Listen clearly, what I'm talking about is blackmail, threatening you to do things for him at the cost of certain secrets—it's not as simple as extreme words, tit-for-tat."

He Yiming snorted: "I remember asking this question before, did you not hear it, or are you forgetful?"

"Just now, you and Mr. Geng didn't have such a passion for framing and anti-framing." Ye Baiting was very steady, "You still refuse to say, do you want Mr. Geng to speak for you? Are you afraid that he will miss the point?"

He Yiming: "I told you, it has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything!"

"You fart!"

Shen Jiang wanted to swear for a long time, but the young master and the commander had a lot of details to confirm and analyze, and they kept holding back. Now that the situation is almost the same, the young master also gave the signal, and immediately took pictures of the evidence——

After the command envoy issued the special order, he asked the Ministry of Punishment to cooperate with dispatching documents and files with certain confidentiality.

The point is not the dossier itself, Jin Yiwei is reliable in his work, he protects the dossier when he gets it, seals it as it is, and will send it back later when the case is concluded, the point is the small note in these unfinished official business dossiers.

The words were written by Zhang You, and the notes were inserted in the official correspondence file that only He Yiming could see. Each time the words were not many, but the purpose was very obvious, 'If you don't help me with errands, be careful that your secret will be revealed to the world' , 'What do you want, money or a woman', 'Time is running out, you know where to find me'...

This is not what blackmail threats are!

With all the evidence thrown at his face, He Yiming still stood still, with a calm expression on his face: "That's it? It's a pity, I've never seen these things before."

The corners of Shen Jiang's eyes were raised: "The official files within the scope of your duties are only things that you have access to. You said you haven't seen them?"

"Official affairs also have priorities. Some need to be rushed immediately, and some can wait. They are not so urgent. These in Shen Baihu's hands may just happen to be the group of 'not so urgent'?"

He Yiming was talking, and found a new direction for development: "Maybe it's because I didn't see these things, and Zhang You never got a reply, that's why he was so angry, and he always got angry with me every time we met?"

Shen Jiang picked out a small note and handed it to him: "You can see clearly, the word 'topic' is clearly written on it, how do you explain it! In the past month or so, none of the topics related to Zhang You, except Enke University Kao, what else!"

He Yiming is serious: "It is the fortune of the imperial court that the emperor opened Enke and blessed all the people. Everyone attaches great importance to it. They are afraid that if they do not do enough, there will be such a major mistake as 'fraud'. It's blasphemy, please Shen Baihu speak carefully."

Shen Jiang: ...

You've done all the fucking shit, and you're still ashamed when you talk about it?Why are you so shameless!

"Besides, if there is such a thing, there is no need for Mr. Zhang to come to me. Doesn't he have a relative who is more convenient?" He Yiming looked at Geng Yuanzhong with a very meaningful expression, "Master Geng will give him Sending off a woman by the pillow, it's so obvious, maybe it's something to be wary of?"

Ye Baiting suddenly felt that He Yiming in front of him was a little strange.

In his past impressions, He Yiming has been trying his best to show his gentle image. When he was a child, he was obedient, sensible, and loves to learn. He was proud to let his elders take him out. When he grew up, he was a gentleman and elegant, with a certain amount of advance and retreat. At least first impressions are good.

He Yiming has a heart, but he rarely shows it in front of outsiders. He is more like a "hypocrite" than a "real villain". Today in class, he is still a fake, wearing a mask, but this mask No longer a "gentleman", he has become more talkative and aggressive. He is scheming, cunning, ugly... he has become a villain through and through.

But when such a change happened to him, it didn't seem to violate harmony, and even fit him well. He was just such a person. On the contrary, when he acted like a gentleman, he would always give people a subtle inappropriateness, similar to...a sense of stupidity.

Even though he has handled too many cases and seen too many multi-faceted human beings, Ye Baiting still felt that he was a little superficial, and he didn't see through this person.

He Yiming is really not unintelligent, he is really stupid, he is very good at disguising, is very good at hiding himself, is very good at analyzing the pros and cons of reality, and is too good at guessing what you are thinking, and using your guesses to take advantage of your thinking The direction leads to the other side...

He even knows his "not very smart" well, and is even willing to "sell stupid", make you despise, make you think sideways, maybe sometimes, what you think is the "correct answer", he feels it, and thinks you think this is the right answer. It is the 'correct answer', and it is deliberately guided in this direction.

He put on a layer of protection for himself, as long as others can't see through, as long as others are suspicious of left and right, he will be more than half successful... It's not without reason that the third prince chose him to help.

For some things, he is indeed useful, at least he can make the water very muddy.

Ye Baiting looked at He Yiming, more cautiously: "When Huang Kang died, you were also there."

"Yes," He Yiming admitted without hesitation. At the same time, he swung his arm to the side and circled all the people involved in the case in the room. "Aren't you all here? Oh, except for Yu Wenli," he said in a meaningful voice." I don't know why, every time there is an accident, Yu Wenli happens to be nearby, and he is not within the scope of the sensitive scene."

Ye Baiting ignored his rhythmic guidance and continued: "Do you know what food Huang Kang likes the most?"

He Yiming shook his head: "I don't know."

"Can you get close to him on weekdays?"

"Nothing."

"That's not right," Ye Baiting flipped through the information Jin Yiwei found with his fingertips, "Didn't he ask you to borrow money?"

He Yiming was startled, and smiled: "If you're asking about...his little hobbies that can't be put on the table, wine, money, sex, gambling, many people in the circle know that Huang Kang not only asked me to borrow money , He has borrowed from many people, but most of them have no personal relationship with him, and like me, they seldom pay attention to it.”

"So you haven't been to the roof, met Huang Kang, or eaten with him that day?"

"Yes."

"Then where did you buy the 'Yang Cake' specially the night before?" Ye Baiting tapped his fingertips on the corner of the table, "Don't say you used it secretly."

The so-called yang cake is a nourishing yang product made of cistanche as the main ingredient and supplemented with other ingredients. After its reconciliation, the taste is obviously better, so it cannot be removed.

It is a good product for invigorating yang, but it is not an aphrodisiac. Most people will not get excited immediately after taking it. In the habit, there is this item.

But this thing is widely sold in the market, and it is not easy to track it down. Jin Yiwei searched for a long time, and it was not until yesterday that he found the final key point of this line.

He Yiming still didn't panic: "I lost it."

"lost?"

"In the cold winter months, the New Year's Eve is approaching, and there are [-]% more petty thefts on the street. Someone touched my things, what's so strange?" He Yiming is there, "If Jin Yiwei doesn't believe it, you can go and investigate it carefully. Lost the purse...and some trinkets that day."

Whatever you ask, the other party will have an explanation and can evade it. If it were someone else, it would be unavoidable to be impatient, but Ye Baiting's expression did not change: "Where's the box?"

He Yiming paused: "A box?"

Ye Baiting just smiled and said nothing.

He Yiming knew it again. Lying is probably useless. Jin Yiwei must have found something and had evidence before he dared to say that. He turned his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Oh, you said that small flat box There are people in the restaurant, and they want to give it to me.”

"Who?"

"do not know."

"I don't know, so you dare to take it casually?"

"It's because I don't know that I have to confirm it carefully," He Yiming smiled. "I also feel very strange. In order to avoid being confused by others, of course I have to take a look."

"See it?"

"No," He Yiming shook his head, "Someone wrote me a note inexplicably, saying that there was something for me, and it was mysterious. I checked and found that it was jewelry, which was really a sensitive thing. The person who wrote the note The person never showed up again, I felt something was wrong, I immediately handed it over to the official office Shangfeng, and hung up the 'Lost and Found', if Jin Yiwei doesn't believe it, you can go to the Ministry of Punishments and ask our Lord Shangshu, this box is still in his place."

Ye Baiting: "So for you, everything is just a coincidence. You just dealt with a possible accident and happened to meet Huang Kang's death?"

He Yiming: "Yes."

"Then why did you join Mr. Geng's banquet? They are both relatives and subordinates in this bureau, and they don't seem to have anything to do with you."

"Didn't you just say that it just happened to be a coincidence," He Yiming curled his lips, "When I went to deal with the box that day, I happened to run into Huang Kang's death, and also happened to run into Mr. Geng's drinking party. They warmly invited , I bluntly refused, wouldn’t it be shameful?”

... Inside and out, you have something to say.

Shen Jiang felt that this stubble was a bit tough, and it was really difficult to make a confession today.

Ye Baiting was not in a hurry, and turned his gaze to the other people in the room: "Do you know the box Mr. He brought?"

Geng Yuanzhong was the leader, and everyone shook their heads unanimously.

For this, He Yiming also had his own explanation: "I just took the suitcase when I left the restaurant, but I didn't have it when I entered the room. Of course they couldn't see it."

"Then where was the box before that?"

"An empty box." He Yiming explained in a coherent and orderly manner, "Since I suspected that the box came in a wrong way, I always looked around when I entered the restaurant. I didn't notice anything unusual, and I ran into Mr. Geng's place first... After the dinner party , and the heart was settled, so I went to get the box."

Ye Baiting ignored his words: "During the banquet, have you all gone out before?"

Everyone looked at each other: "Yes."

"During this period, did you find anything unusual?"

"Bingyuan."

"During the banquet, Zhang You ordered the crabapple cake. Who was there before and after he went out?"

Hu Anju raised his hand: "When the official left, everyone in the room was there. When he came back, only Zhang You was not there. He should have gone out after I left."

Ye Baiting: "Have you ever met before?"

Hu Anju "Not at all."

Ye Baiting: "What about after that?"

"I," He Yiming said, "after Hu Anju and Zhang You went out, I also left the meeting, but I was faster than they came back."

Ye Baiting looked at him: "Then you and Zhang You, have you met before?"

This point is easy to check. The restaurant was busy that day, and there was nothing to attract attention. There were a few witnesses. He Yiming was not going to lie: "Yes, he stopped me. We have never been on good terms— -everybody knows."

"Stopped you, what did you do?"

"It's nothing, just continue with those harsh words."

"After Zhang You came back, he ordered this crabapple red dish. Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Isn't it because Mr. Geng loves to eat, and he shows his filial piety as a relative of the younger generation?"

"The conversation between you didn't mention this thing?"

"I don't know Mr. Geng's preferences, how can I remind you?"

"You're lying," Ye Baiting tapped his fingertips on the table, opening the file, "on the sixth day of September last year, when you and Geng Yuanzhong were having dinner at 'Li Luo Yuan', you ordered this dim sum, and you know Mr. Geng likes it. "

He Yiming: ...

"I know, so I can't forget it? You also said it was September last year. I'm very forgetful, can't I?"

Ye Baiting: "Okay, then let's talk about Yu Wenzhang——Yu Lianhaiyan, you and Yu Wenzhang were very proactive in getting acquainted."

He Yiming took advantage of the situation and glanced at Yu Lianhai.

Yu Lianhai shrank back instantly, not daring to raise his head.

He Yiming snorted: "Yes, I do admire Yu Wenzhang very much. I also graduated from the university entrance examination. Now in the officialdom, I am occasionally lonely and when no one understands me. I also miss the sunny spring and snowy mountains and flowing water. When I saw talented people, I yearned for him." In other words, isn’t it normal to want to get acquainted?”

"You and him met before the big exam last year. At first, they were very enthusiastic, and then they were alienated and indifferent. This year, Enke became enthusiastic again and started to associate with him again, but when he entered the exam room in the future, he died—"

Ye Baiting spoke slowly, with a special rhythm: "His friend thinks it's too coincidental, and there must be something strange. Before today's hall, would you like to explain it?"

He Yiming: "Crowds of people fluctuate, fate comes and goes, there is nothing to explain."

"Don't understand people's words!" Shen Jiang couldn't hold back, "Let you talk about the process of getting acquainted and breaking up between you, and stop talking about other things!"

There was anger in He Yiming's eyes, but he quickly calmed down: "At the beginning, I was stuck in talent, and I really thought that Yu Wenzhang was a good person, but he was too high-minded, and he couldn't get rid of the so-called "backbone" of a poor family. When I met, He didn't feel humble enough yet, and he didn't think it was a compromise, but he always felt uncomfortable because of his different identities. Since he couldn't get along comfortably, there was no need to continue dating, so there was less contact after that. As for this year ... When there is a chance to meet again, I have finally met him, so I can't put on a cold face when we meet, right? I still need to say hello."

Ye Baiting: "So it's just a greeting, you're not eager."

He Yiming: "That's right."

"But you also went to Baifo Temple more than a month ago, the day he had an accident."

"It's just because of entertainment and contacts, I need to go there to ask for a lottery. I went in a hurry and left in a hurry. It's a coincidence that he encountered an accident on this day."

"You really haven't seen him?"

"No."

"Have you ever lost anything that day?"

"Never."

"Then why have you stopped wearing bamboo green clothes for more than a month?" Ye Baiting looked at him indifferently, "Are you guilty?"

"Why should I have a guilty conscience?" He Yiming narrowed his eyes, "Jin Yiwei investigates the case, it's better not to guess."

Ye Baiting: "Because you know exactly what you lost."

"what?"

"Deck buttons!" Seeing that the young master had already asked this question, it was time for Shen Jiang to throw out the evidence he found, "Yu Wenzhang's body fell three feet away, and in the gap between the big rocks, what happened to this bamboo-blue button?" Explain? How could it be such a coincidence that one of the clothes Mr. He wore that day happened to be missing?"

He Yiming's eyes trembled rapidly, but he didn't speak.

Ye Baiting: "When Yu Wenzhang died, he was lying on his back. His skull and spine were damaged to some extent, and his ribs were also partially fractured. His arms and hands were intact, and his posture was special. When he fell from upstairs, he must have pushed or grabbed. Want to touch something... This button of the placket, the color is common in the market, the fabric is not special, even the sewing technique is the most basic, every family knows it, it is not very special at all, but you suddenly don't like it. Wearing the same color of clothes again, and even throwing away the discarded box that I wore that day, and the servants told me to throw it away, isn’t it a guilty conscience?”

"You are afraid that others will know about it, you are afraid that others will find out about you, are you not!"

The hands in He Yiming's sleeves clenched into fists, he knew that the servants were unreliable!Why can Master Jin find the things that were obviously thrown away?The servants must have kept it privately, or sold it elsewhere in order to make some small money!

But it doesn't matter, even at this time, he can still beat back: "I'll just say why the commander asked questions about clothes that day, so you all thought it out! If the North Town Fusi insisted on framing it like this, I still What do you have to say? In your eyes, you don’t need to consider the needs of changing seasons and the basic characteristics of liking the new and disliking the old!”

Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes: "Let me ask you one last time, did you really not see Yu Wenzhang that day?"

He Yiming didn't dare to say no directly this time, he didn't know what Jin Yiwei had found out, the other party was too cunning, he knew so many things, but he couldn't hold back, he let it out bit by bit, as if he wanted to hit him s face……

"It's not like I haven't seen him before," he sighed slightly, "I came and went in a hurry, and I happened to meet him when he came back from dinner. There was a brief brush shoulder, but that was all, we didn't even talk to each other. How do you say, this can be regarded as meeting?"

Ye Baiting asked suddenly: "What do you think of the book on the content of the policy theory?"

He Yiming: "What do you think?"

"Isn't this subject a compulsory test?" Ye Baiting looked at him, "You have gone through the big test, and you should have studied and practiced a lot of related topics."

He Yiming showed a bit of annoyance: "Policy theory is the most difficult subject in the final exam. It is not easy to learn or practice. Even the compiled book is very thick. You also said that it is a compulsory subject. How can I understand it?" What do you think?"

"You hate theory."

"Hard to like."

"Yu Wenzhang seems to like this subject very much."

"Well, he's good at it."

"Jin Yiwei found out that Yu Wenzhang went upstairs after dinner that day, and immediately went downstairs, went to his own yard, and then went upstairs again. During this process, he changed a book, which is this theory," Ye Baiting asked. , "As you said, he is already very good at this subject, why should he change to take it? The big exam is coming, shouldn't he pay more attention to his short course?"

He Yiming: "You should ask him, how do I know?"

Ye Baiting: "Of course you know, because he knows that you hate this class, and intentionally disgusts you to make you feel bad, right?"

He Yiming narrowed his eyes: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Ye Baiting: "Even if he takes a quick look downstairs, he knows that you will definitely go to him. He is not as dark-hearted as you, and he can't think of more ways to resist you. It's good to want to disgust you. He wants you to hurry up." Leave, but he doesn't know that you didn't just pass with emotion—and his mother's life."

"Jinyiwei Feige sent a letter to the guards in other places, and I have heard back that Yu Wenzhang's mother did receive a group of guests a few days before the incident, and gave her hairpin... You are holding such a thing, using her Threatening Yu Wenzhang with your life, tell him to obey you obediently, otherwise someone will pay with his life for this, right?"

Ye Baiting's eyes were fierce, as if a fire was burning: "Yu Wenzhang didn't choose to give in, but he wanted to save his mother. When he was arguing with you, he chose to jump off the building. You may have caught him and persuaded him to think about it, but He didn't, he tore off the buttons of your placket during the push and pull, didn't he!"

"Dare Jin Yiwei catch the person who threatened Yu's mother's life?"

He Yiming put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and proudly said, "If you are caught and someone else confesses, just come and arrest me. Why bother? If you don't catch me, why would you have the face to question my innocence? Threatening human life without leaving evidence, this kind of thing can be done by anyone present, why must it be me? Because of that ridiculous button? The place is not ordinary, why must it be mine and not someone else's?"

His posture is proud and vicious, as if he is laughing at the other party, no matter what you have, you can take it out, I will see if he will recognize it, and will he refute the sophistry!
