The first work of the imperial prison

Originally, Bi Zhenghe was invited by his colleagues to come to Zhuzhilou for dinner, but when the other party didn't show up, he just waited for a while.

The conversation in the next room did not mean to avoid people at all. First, he talked about the case, doubts and dissatisfaction with Lu Ming, and then the fire burned him, saying that the wine Lu Ming sent was wrong, and it was more like his taste than Zhong Xingyan. What is it that Lu He once had a secret conversation with him, and the two of them disappeared that night...

fart!

Bi Zhenghe scolded his mother from the bottom of his heart, if you know what's going on, just talk nonsense!He got drunk early that night, and he clearly had nothing to do with Lu Ming!

But the other party arranged more than that, and expanded suspicions, saying that Lu Ming had a gloomy mind and acted sneakily, and said that all this was done under his cover, what did they do that day, the two of them It's a group, their relationship is just unclear...

If other people gossip in private, he will ignore it, but he can tell that these two voices are familiar, one is the little clerk from Beizhen Fusi, who is highly used by commanders, and the other is the old man from Suji Winery , In the past, he was calm and didn't talk much, but now he's chatting!In homicide cases, there are missions, court officials, and dancing girls. It doesn't matter what the people in the market think about it, but when the nonsense is in front of Jin Yiwei, you have to take it seriously. What if someone really believes it?What if the commander suspects him!

Bi Zhenghe was holding back his anger, and at first he was able to bear it, but the more he listened to it, the angrier he became, and the more he listened, the more he couldn't bear it, and finally stood up and went out, and pushed open the door of the next room with a bang——

"My surname is Su, I advise you to be cautious in your words and deeds. If you frame an official of the imperial court for no reason, you know what crime you are responsible for!"

Ye Baiting quickly exchanged a glance with Su Tu, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, saying that he is here.

Su Tu also frowned at him quickly, and looked at the person who came by expressionlessly: "Hey, isn't this Master Bi of Honglu Temple? You are not at the embassy to accompany the Wala people to have fun, so why come here when you have time?"

Bi Zhenghe's face was dark, his eyes narrowed, and he was very dangerous: "I'm not here, how do you know that someone is here to make up crimes and obstruct Jin Yiwei's handling of the case?"

Ye Baiting was holding the teacup in his hand, he was so clear and innocent, he seemed to be really puzzled: "What does Master Bi mean by this, why don't I understand?"

The murder case is in the process of investigation and evidence collection. There is currently no evidence to indicate that the three members of the Su family are seriously suspected. No matter what Jin Yiwei found out or what he heard, these three seem to be very pure people. It may be an accident that they got involved. Or maybe it was because of someone's tricks, Ye Baiting didn't want to trust anyone, so he met and chatted by the way, and he could always observe more, so he took this opportunity to visit the Su family by the way.

During the conversation with Su Tu just now, there was a deeper level of probing and observation, and there were also some words that deliberately brought the relationship closer, such as talking about wine - he deliberately induced Su Tu to talk more, and by the way strengthened the sense of distance between the two .

The distance is getting closer, and he is no longer unfamiliar. He deliberately leaned forward during the chat, dipped his fingertips in tea and wrote on the table. The other party would naturally understand what he was talking about and cooperate with him in this scene.

Every dialogue process and every opportunity choice of Su Tu is also a more abundant expression of his character and behavior.

Ye Baiting saw very clearly after a few short words of probing that Su Tu himself participated in the case. It cannot be determined, and evidence is needed to prove it. However, the relationship between Su Tu and the deceased Lu Ming must be on the opposite side, and there is even a deeper level. Contempt, hostility, or even contempt, absolutely cannot be a cooperative relationship.

This is not necessarily the case... Look, didn't you catch a fish easily?

You do not understand?You don't understand what was said just now!

Bi Zhenghe's forehead is slightly bulging with blue veins, and the people in Fusi of Beizhen are full of eyes. The hundred households surnamed Shen are, after investigation and visits, he can find flowers when asked. It doesn't matter if you answer or not, as long as he wants to know , I will definitely find the answer, this little guy is also the same, he is not very old next year, he has not yet reached the crown, and his stature is full of youth, but he can actually pretend to be innocent and naive. He doesn't believe that this little thing doesn't understand anything!

He took a deep breath and controlled his emotions: "The murder case is ahead, and the clues are important. I know that Jin Yiwei should be careful at all times and everywhere, but you should also be careful. Don't be deceived by the villain's lies. This officer and this Fangzhu Su He is not familiar with him, how could he know about this official? Same with Lu Ming, Lu Ming is Mr. Zhong’s master, how could this official have a close relationship with him?”

Ye Baiting smiled slightly, and put the teacup on the table: "Master Bi doesn't know anything."

With this meaningful feeling, Bi Zhenghe choked for a moment, and spoke more cautiously: "You can't say that you don't know anything. Lu Ming and Zhong Xingyan have a black heart in business. I have heard a little bit about it, but they use fake wine to make money and cheat at both ends. Yes Their business, the little girl who fell in love with the wine shop, and if they want to get it, it is also their business, it has nothing to do with this official..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Tu stood up, his eyes darkened, and there was a hint of murderous intent: "What did you say? The little girl from the wine shop?"

There is no one else in the room at the moment, and the other party is showing kung fu, Bi Zhenghe looked left and right, and took two steps back cautiously: "I said it all, it is they who want to frame your daughter, it has nothing to do with me!"

Ye Baiting: "Lu Ming and Zhong Xingyan set their sights on other girls, and there is a plot to frame them up. How does Master Bi know about such a private matter?"

Bi Zhenghe snorted: "I have always been at odds with Zhong Xingyan, he will find ways to find out about me and oppose me, I can't just accept it in vain, I sent someone over to investigate and pay back, of course he will know a thing or two! "

"Really?" Ye Baiting stared at him, "But Jin Yiwei also went to investigate what Master Bi said, and it was true, with detailed details, but the secret of this matter can only be known when Lu Ming and Zhong Xingyan are alone. Talking about it, the butler who brought tea in could only hear a few words at most, nothing else. This butler is an old servant of the Zhong family. He has been loyal to the Zhong family since his grandfather. Mr. Bi would not say that he is yours. people?"

In fact, no, the above words are all made up by Ye Baiting following what Bi Zhenghe said, it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, as long as it says something like that.

Sure enough, Bi Zhenghe panicked: "My official... my official..."

Obviously the lie was exposed, and the logic was confused for a while, and I couldn't make up words.

Ye Baiting raised his voice: "I am here today to speak on behalf of Beizhen Fusi. Lord Bi should know how quickly the Jinyiwei got the news. You must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't try to lie."

Bi Zhenghe: "My officer... I also heard it from someone. When you ask me, I can't remember who it is..."

"Oh, I can't remember, people can't remember, where are things?"

Ye Baiting stretched out his slender fingers, and lightly tapped the small box on the table.

This small box has been placed on the table all the time. It is four inches long, two inches wide, and two inches high. Two words, conspicuous, there is a small lock hanging on the side of the box, this small lock is even more conspicuous, yellow and golden, embossed with begonia and butterfly patterns, it looks like it is shining in the room, anyone who comes in must take a look , could not help but ask.

Before Ye Baiting took it out, Su Tu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask, but was suppressed by Ye Baiting.

But ever since Bizheng entered the room, the small box had been on the table. He seemed blind, unable to see, not curious, let alone ask.

Bi Zhenghe was instantly covered in cold sweat.

He suddenly realized that today was a game, and that the little gangster in front of him was setting him up, trying to test his relationship with Lu Ming, but the other party didn't know the boundaries of the truth, so he couldn't make it up. That's why he had a conversation with Su Tu. It seems that there are many loopholes, and he can easily get around it.

He came over, the circle passed, and it didn't matter if he made a small mistake. He could find the tangent circle and come back, but he didn't expect that all the words and temptations were just appearances, and this small box was the real big move!

Zhong Xingyan loves money and enjoys it, but all the things you use at hand must have a good look, such as jewels. This small box is used for communication between Lu Ming and Zhong Xingyan. It is equipped with a small lock and only has two keys. , Lu Ming and Zhong Xingyan each, if there is no time to meet, both parties will write the information they have found or the order they want to issue on a piece of paper and seal it inside for the other party to read.

This small box has its fixed place, and the only people I know best are Lu Ming and Zhong Xingyan, and even my confidantes are not too close...

This kind of eye-catching thing, as long as you see it for the first time, you will definitely take a second look. Why has he not cared about it since he entered the room and didn't even look at it?

of course--

This is not the first time he has seen this thing, and he is very familiar with this thing, so familiar that he doesn't think there is anything special about it!

This is the evidence that proves that he has a relationship with Lu Ming!

Everyone knew that he and Zhong Xingyan were at odds, and it was impossible to tell him the other party's secret. He could only see this through Lu Ming!

If you say something wrong, you can still find a reason to make it up. What about the reaction just now?How to make it up?Said he was blind, did not see?

His heart was beating fast, and there was not much time left for him to lie. He was racking his brains, sweating profusely, and before he could make up his mind, he heard his own voice, loud and high-pitched, guaranteed to be accessible in all directions, front, back, left, and right, even outside get--

"It's Daha! It's Daha, the leader of the mission. He discovered this secret and told me!"

Bi Zhenghe touched his mouth subconsciously, no, this is not what he said, who is that!

Not only did his back feel cold, his forehead was sweating, and he felt that something was wrong. The next moment, reality responded to his bad premonition, the door of the room was kicked open, and Daha came in.

"What did Master Bi just say, so lively?"

It turned out that he was next to this box, and he heard everything just now!

The Wala people are not easy to provoke, they really hold grudges and dare to be cruel!

Bi Zhenghe looked at Daha's dark eyes, sweating more on his back: "No... no, Chief Da, listen to my explanation..."

Daha took a step forward, his eyes darkened, and he leaned closer to Bi Zhenghe: "As I said, my name is Daha, not Da."

Bi Zhenghe couldn't bear the pressure, he took two steps back, and when he finished, he saw that the other party's eyes were darker and his face turned pale.

Ye Baiting served the tea in a leisurely manner: "Master Bi, the leader is asking a question, why don't you answer it?"

Bi Zhenghe: ...

Why is it that the leader called Daha is fine, and Daha didn't fart, so he was so fierce to him?Just because there is a commander standing behind this little operation!The Wala people just eat the soft and fear the hard like this, do you want to see people order dishes!

Facing Bi Zhenghe's shocked face, Ye Baiting returned a very bright smile full of 'goodwill'.

The case is urgent, Qiu Yiqing and Shen Jiang are so busy that they can't sleep at all. It's good to count them all in. Once you see clearly, after asking, it's easy, isn't it?

The people he asked Qiu Yiqing to 'invite' to Zhuzhilou were not only Bi Zhenghe and Sutu, but also Daha. His own box was in the middle, Bi Zhenghe's was on the right, and Daha's was on the left.

What he said to Su Tu, Bi Zhenghe on the right could hear, and when Bi Zhenghe came to quarrel, Daha could also hear him.

As for the sound...

Ye Baiting looked at the door, a folding fan waved at the door, as if to salute, Xiang Zi'an had already retired.

As for determining the relationship between the deceased Lu Ming and other people, why did he call Daha...Ye Baiting just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was, and the evidence and clues he found couldn't solve the confusion. He could only find a way to break through. .

Daha stared at Bi Zhenghe: "How dare you betray me?"

"No, I don't dare!" Bi Zhenghe had already guessed what was going on, and gave Ye Baiting a gloomy look, "I don't know, Beizhen Fusi still has such shady tricks!"

Ye Baiting smiled: "Master Bi, you are welcome."

Bi Zhenghe gritted his teeth, and bowed his hands to Daha: "Your envoy Rong, those words just now were not what the officials said, but the means of Jinyiwei. The officials are only ordered to receive the envoys, and they dare not pry into the secrets of the envoys. Why? Come to 'sell' it?"

Ye Baiting: "My lord, don't talk nonsense, you obviously said what you said just now, why did you frame me, Jin Yiwei?"

Su Tu also sneered: "Yes, I heard that too. Mr. Bi is very good at threatening others not to make up lies, but you can do it yourself."

Bi Zhenghe was furious, he didn't dare to hate Daha, he couldn't beat Ye Baiting, couldn't he deal with a commoner!

He pointed at Su Tu: "Stop making trouble here, deliberately smearing me, isn't it because of what I just said? Why, you don't like to listen to what I say. Others not only say it, but also do it. Let me tell you, Zhong Xingyan just fell in love with your daughter, not only he fell in love, but others also fell in love. Why do you think Su Jiujiu got lost and walked to the front hall? That is the territory of the mission, without the permission of the leader, she Can you walk through it! If you grow up like that, why do you still brew wine, and come out to show your face to do business, you should marry someone early! If you don’t get married, isn’t that the idea?"

"Heh, don't pretend to be noble. What are you thinking about being a father? Don't think that outsiders can't figure it out. Isn't it because you see that your daughter is good-looking and want to get a good price? You don't like ordinary people, do you? What? The rich households on the East Street, the shopkeepers on the West Street, and the restaurants in the suburbs are all inferior people in your eyes. No matter how others try to protect the media, this marriage will not work out, and you won’t let it happen, will you?”

Bi Zhenghe sneered: "It's a pity, your daughter and you are not of the same mind, right? She doesn't like your arrangement, and the father and daughter often quarrel... You may not be dissatisfied with Zhong Xingyan, but you must be dissatisfied with Lu Ming. You poured that glass of wine for Mingshi, right? Don’t think that no one will see when everyone is in high spirits and trying to drink together!”

Ye Baiting raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Tu: "Have you poured wine for Lu Ming?"

"I almost gave everyone the wrong spot!" Su Tu stared at Bi Zhenghe, his face full of 'what the fuck are you talking about', "You don't care about my family's affairs, stop thinking about others with your dirty minds, Lu Ming forced you My daughter drinks, I can't pay back? He answered my game and wanted to fight with me. He wants to drink like this, why can't I drink? Everyone on the court poured wine for each other. According to you, it's all The murderer?"

Bi Zhenghe's eyes were cloudy: "He's not the only one, is he? You don't like your daughter hanging out with dubious women. When you came to the hall, you were protecting your daughter, but where did you first look? Yes Didn't you look at the window? Is there a dancer Yu Linglong standing there? Why did you look at her? Why did she leave after that and never come back? You don't have any private communication with her. What did you do to him? A glass of poisoned wine?"

Su Tu's face was shocked, and it seemed difficult to understand the logic of these words: "What did you say?"

Bi Zhenghe sneered: "Stop pretending, do you think that only you are good and others don't see anything?"

Ye Baiting carefully observed the expressions of several people, and tried to sort out the logical line and authenticity here: "Didn't Mr. Bi get drunk and sleep on the table as soon as the wine game started? It doesn't delay you knowing so much and seeing so much." .”

Bi Zhenghe got stuck in an instant: "My official... Even if I can't see it, the other guests are not fools or blind!"

It is impossible to ask him to tell the truth. Even if this person's intentions are exposed, his mouth is still stubborn, and he is very good at making up.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, Ye Baiting ignored him, and looked at Daha: "Master Bi's words just now, Chief Da also heard, he alluded to you making arrangements for the banquet, what do you say?"

Daha didn't speak, he raised his leg and kicked Bi Zhenghe's chest and abdomen.

"what--"

Bi Zhenghe screamed.

Because this is the position by the window, Daha's kick was very strong, Bi Zhenghe was kicked by him, and hit directly out of the window. This is a box on the third floor, and he might not die if he fell, and injury would be unavoidable...

In the blink of an eye, Bi Zhenghe still had more eyes, no one caught him, and tightly grabbed Ye Baiting.

The person was sitting at the table, the pot was coming from the wind, Ye Baiting really didn't expect Daha to do it, and he didn't expect Bi Zhenghe to pull him on his back. He is proficient in the acupuncture points of the human body and can control the enemy in a crisis, but he can't stop himself from falling.

It's over, this time I want to put myself in it, Qiu Yiqing will be angry, right?

Ye Baiting tried his best to adjust his posture, so as to have enough buffer when he landed, so as not to suffer any serious injuries... Unexpectedly, another person flew out of the window, grabbed his arm, and put himself under him.

"Don't be afraid, little son, I can't hurt you!"

Su Tu flew out of the window, grabbed Ye Baiting's arm, and at the same time kicked Bi Zhenghe away. The man immediately accelerated his fall and fell to the ground with a 'bang'.

Everyone jumped out of the window, Daha was not idle, his eyes turned darkly, and he didn't know what to think, but also used lightness kung fu to keep up, borrowing strength from the window, people jumped out, and stepped on ——

The direction was straight towards Ye Baiting!

"Shuzi dare!"

Su Tu's eyes widened, his waist twisted abruptly in the air, and he vigorously pushed Ye Baiting away.

He had just kicked Bi Zhenghe, and now it was too late to adjust his posture, so he forcibly used his body to meet Daha's feet, taking Ye Baiting's place. Ye Baiting would not be seriously injured by Daha if he pushed him, at most, he would fall and fall a little hurt.

"Master Su—"

Ye Baiting was so anxious that his heart was about to jump out. Suddenly, he felt a strong wind, his hair swayed, and his waist warmed up. He was grabbed by someone, turned twice to let go of his momentum, and landed firmly on the ground.

"Meaning, Commander?"

He saw Qiu Yiqing, and also saw the Xiuchun Knife pierced into the ground three inches deep, with a trembling hilt.

Su Tu was not stepped on. He supported the ground with his right hand to borrow strength. A carp stood upright, turned over and landed in a very handsome posture. Daha also fell to the ground, but he was a little embarrassed. Stay in shape.

Ye Baiting realized belatedly that the strong wind was blowing just now, and it was Qiu Yiqing who came. He realized the danger, and it was too late to save the two people. He immediately rushed over to catch him, and at the same time threw the Xiuchun knife as a hidden weapon. Attacking directly at Daha, Daha had no choice but to change direction in the air and forcefully turned around to avoid the sword edge. However, he rushed too fast and was too intent on hurting people, so he couldn't twist it for a while, and the whole person fell to the ground. Embarrassed.

As for Su Tu, as long as he is not kicked by Daha, he can perfectly cope with the moment of landing. This height is nothing to a martial arts practitioner. It will not fall to the ground, and you can stand up calmly with a hand.

After standing up, he was unfazed, expressionless, and only saluted Qiu Xingqing's attacker.

Seems to be all right, Ye Baiting heaved a sigh of relief.

Qiu Xunqing supported Ye Baiting's waist, his eyes were extremely dark: "You dare to move this envoy?"

Daha reacted quickly, and walked over with a smile: "Oh, isn't it a coincidence, the commander misunderstood, I wanted to save someone, but unexpectedly the commander also came, it seems that I am edgy," he said Then, while looking at Ye Baiting, "This little clerk said so nicely before, I thought all of you Dazhao were General An, who knew that you are so delicate and tender, you can't resist beatings, and you can't bear any accidents." ?”

Qiu Xingqing looked coldly: "Why is my Daoda leader so bold? It turns out that he wanted to be beaten."

Daha narrowed his eyes and licked his lips: "Speaking of which, we have been in Dazhao for a long time, and you, General An, don't show your face. After all, how many years have we been dealing with, isn't it a bit too rude?"

Ye Baiting and Qiu Yiqing hadn't even opened their mouths yet, but Su Tu's reaction was great, and he spit out: "Bah! Who are you bastards! You deserve our General An to make a trip all the way!"

"My lord——My lord——"

At this moment, a Wala man ran over and whispered a few words in Daha's ear.

Daha's complexion changed, and he snorted this way: "It's about the diplomatic relations between the two countries. I advise the commander not to be impulsive or have any bad thoughts about me. I said before the murder case, I only give you seven days , now time is running out, don't embarrass your emperor - I'll take my leave first, and you guys should work hard to solve the case."

After speaking, he turned around and left arrogantly and recklessly.

Qiu Yiqing's footsteps moved slightly, obviously wanting to follow, Ye Baiting pulled him out and shook his head: "I'm fine."

Qiu Suqing lowered his eyes: "Don't worry about his words, I'm not afraid."

Ye Baiting knew that no matter what Qiu Yiqing wanted to do, he would definitely be able to do it successfully, and he would not leave a clue, but... there was no need, he was fine, and the case was busy, so why bother?Wouldn't it be better to slap them in the face after the case is over?

"Are you hungry?" He pointed to the sky, "It's getting late, shall I have a meal with you?"

Qiu Yiqing was startled by the scene just now, her heart is still beating, and she is really worried about Ye Baiting, so she nodded.

While Su Tu watched, he came over to say hello and said goodbye: "That's nothing, I'll go first? The engagement wine that the young master wants, wrap it with me!"

Qiu Yiqing was startled, and after watching the person leave, he looked at Ye Baiting: "Engagement...wine?"

Ye Baiting's ears burned, and she moved closer to him and said in a small voice, "I just said it casually...Trying words, do you always want to find a topic?"

The blue eyes of hatred moved slightly: "But others take it seriously, what should I do?"

Ye Baiting smiled and rolled his eyes.

Take it seriously, what can you do?But does this other person refer to Su Tu, or yourself?

People at the scene walked, some left, some were aggressive, some had an ambiguous atmosphere, but Bi Zhenghe fell hard on the ground next to him, feeling like his butt fell in half, but no one paid any attention.

"Who...can anyone give me a hand..."

Not only can't stand up because of the fall, but also my throat hurts, and my voice is lost. There are so many enthusiastic people in the capital, and no one looks here now!
