The first work of the imperial prison

Ye Baiting is really not talking nonsense. Mrs. Yao is definitely the key person in this case, and all the relationships between the characters are connected by her. After Shen Jiang discovered this, he conducted an in-depth investigation. It's all fake.

It is true that Mrs. Yao's status has been improved, and she has long since ceased to be a flower girl, and is now in charge of the entire venue, but she has not lost her skills, and she has no shame or rejection for such things, but she has the ability to choose men. They have a lot of autonomy, and the purpose is for their own interests, not others.

"Master, who are you looking down on?"

Mrs. Yao suddenly laughed, with sharp annoyance hidden between her brows: "Although the slave family is a fireworks girl, and they are in a business that is not on the table, but not everyone can commit themselves to it and sell it casually. The slave family is not Mr. Jiang's." People, do anything without his permission, a flower boat is a flower boat, a business is just a business, and the servant does not help anyone but himself."

I am not afraid of you talking, but I am afraid that you will not speak.

Ye Baiting's voice changed: "Okay, then tell me, what's going on with Tang Gui?"

Lady Yao didn't expect the topic to change so quickly: "Tang Gui?"

Without Ye Baiting winking, Shen Jiang threw out the evidence: "After investigation, in the past year, the men around you have been walking around and not staying much. Only Mr. Jiang and Tang Gui have long-term contacts, especially this one recently. Yue, even Mr. Jiang has stepped back, and his contacts with Tang Gui have increased significantly—do you dare to admit it?"

Mrs. Yao narrowed her eyes: "So what? My family is a firework woman, but also a person. If I'm lonely, can't I find someone to make me happy?"

Shen Jiang: "You can't find anyone, why is Tang Gui? He is a little older and has a catfish mouth. No one says he is good-looking, and he is not an official. Even if he has money, he doesn't seem to have given you much. What are you trying to do with him?"

Mrs. Yao laughed lowly, her eyes were ambiguous: "I want him to do a good job, can't I?"

Shen Jiang: ...

day!He is still not good at asking confessions with this set of words!

He could only turn around and look at the young master eagerly.

Ye Baiting gave him a calm look.

Shen Jiangqing coughed twice, stabilized his mind, took two steps back, and heard the young master ask sharply: "The two boxes of things Miss Yao lost, have you found them?"

He almost lost his footing, is this called being calm?This all cuts to the core!

So this point should not be careful with stereotypes?Is it time to play combination punches?Shen Qianhu frowned slightly and looked at Mrs. Yao.

Mrs. Yao was stunned for a moment, then she came back to her senses: "What? What is the young master talking about? Why don't I understand? What does it mean to lose something? What did you lose?"

"I need to tell you this too?" Ye Baiting looked around intentionally, and said in a low voice, "Are you sure, I want to tell you about this so that everyone knows?"

Mrs. Yao didn't speak.

Ye Baiting: "You lost things and money. Such a large amount will definitely be held accountable. The time limit is up. You have to pay for the things and the money, right? No one can help you with things. Tang Gui has the money, whether he wants to pay is a problem, maybe you can’t let him pay, it’s up to you..."

Mrs. Yao's eyes flickered slightly: "What things and money? The young master has confused me about my family. If we want to talk about money, our Huachuan girl has nothing else. This is not lacking. My family has been in this business for so long. I always have some savings. How could you be short here?"

"Miss Yao doesn't understand, it doesn't matter."

After Ye Baiting said a word, Shen Jiang took another evidence. This time, it was not a document file, but a small sachet wrapped in light green brocade. It was small and very delicate.

"Ms. Yao should know this thing by now."

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Yao still shook her head: "I don't know."

Shen Jiang laughed angrily: "You said you haven't seen the things on your boat?"

"Why did my family say that I haven't seen it before? Just say that I don't know each other," Mrs. Yao held Shen Jiangyijun, with a puzzled face, "It looks familiar, as if it was worn by a guest. The guests on the flower boat are either rich or expensive. Occasionally It's normal to have something in fashion, and I'm not that troublesome person, so I never asked...Jin Yiwei is so solemn, but what's wrong with this thing?"

Ye Baiting: "Jin Yiwei searched your flower boat, but found nothing, your boat is very clean."

Lady Yao laughed: "I've said it all, my family is a serious business, so of course the boat is clean."

Ye Baiting: "It seems that you are very confident in your rowing, what about that person?"

Lady Yao was suddenly alert: "Who?"

"'Business' has become bigger and wider, and there are always some people with small thoughts at the bottom, who can't be found or managed?" Ye Baiting read out a few names that Qiu Xunqing found, "Wang Qi, Qian Yi, Yu Xiaoshan...they all hid and sold them privately, do you know?"

Lady Yao's face suddenly changed: "What are you hiding..."

"Of course it's in this sachet!"

Shen Jiang poured out the things, put them on the case table, and made a loud noise: "You are welcome, our commander is very enthusiastic, and found that you lost something during the investigation, so he helped you find it. This kind of shady business, you If you lose it, you can only look for it secretly, and don’t dare to make a big show of it. We dare, and we saw it, didn’t we? Under your hand, someone wants to take advantage of others, make you empty, and take your position by the way!”

"When the opium poppy is about to bud, the green skin of the poppy is needled, and the body fluid is exuded. It is scraped with a bamboo knife, and after drying in the shade, it is a black fragrance. It is brown in color and dry in quality. It is wrapped in paper, which is very similar to tea bricks. Its harm is too numerous to describe, it hurts the internal organs, erodes the bones, and destroys the will. Once you are deceived by the so-called "pleasure" in the early stage, the body's corrosion process will start. After the addiction, it is extremely difficult to quit, and the addiction will become more and more serious. The body will become more and more injured, until finally dying, becoming a human being, a ghost and a ghost..."

Ye Baiting's words were clear and her sentences were oppressive, and she looked at Mrs. Yao with more and more serious eyes: "Do you know what you are selling! It is an extremely evil thing that destroys a family and a country!"

Everyone at the scene was shocked.

For those who don’t know, when they heard it for the first time, a turbulent sea arose in their hearts, and for those who knew, countless pasts were reflected in the bottom of their eyes, those bridges that existed in history books, story books, and unofficial histories.

Wuxiang... This case actually involves this evil thing!

Mrs. Yao: "I've said it all, it's not me, I didn't do this kind of business!"

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Baiting stared at her, "Who does Miss Yao want to push?"

Lady Yao raised her eyes, her face extremely serious: "Dare to ask Jin Yiwei what evidence is there to wrong me here? Why must I do it, not someone else? My flower boat is full of customers every day, and there is a lot of business. I How could it be possible to keep an eye on them all? The same goes for the girls on board, there are newcomers every day, every day there are capable ones, how can I know everything? Not to mention, let’s just say that among the new girls recently, there is one named Yan Rouman's woman is very powerful, how do you know she didn't do it? She has a criminal record and has been in prison, she can even deceive you Jin Yiwei, why can't she deceive you this time?"

She was very thoughtful, and carried Yan Rouman out, while testing whether the relationship between this woman and Jin Yiwei was as strong as she guessed, if not, then I'm sorry, she just wanted to throw the blame and find a scapegoat, Only by muddying the water and directing the spearhead at others can she be at peace, right?

Compared to her, Yan Rouman is the one who made Jin Yiwei lose face, Jin Yiwei should be more angry...

Unexpectedly, Ye Baiting didn't accept his tricks at all: "It's useless where you push, we have to investigate everyone on your flower boat, you are so stubborn, I'm afraid you haven't seen Jin Yiwei's methods, you want to try ?”

Lady Yao lowered her eyes, she didn't speak, but her heart kept spinning.

No response... So Yan Rouman is not important?or something else?

Wuxiang has already been called out, so it's not a big problem. This was in their expectation. When several small strongholds were selected before, they knew that Jin Yiwei found out about it. Yizang, after all, their clients... cannot be separated from them. This line of Jinyiwei will be cut even if they want to. The worst result is that the master no longer hides in the dark and comes out to declare war. The master has already given orders, sooner or later One day, sooner or later, there is nothing to be afraid of, but now... How to keep yourself is the key.

She decided to throw something out.

"This sachet... I do know it."

Ye Baiting has been observing her, guessed her thoughts in advance, and cut her off: "Wei Shili and Fang Zhizhu brought it to Jiang Jihong, right?"

Lady Yao was taken aback.

"The scene of the two crimes was Fang Zhizhu's and Wei Shili's. They didn't invite each other, but they came over with the reason of 'sending something'. Please see Jiang Jihong," Ye Baiting said with a clear and sharp voice, " Are they the ones in this sales chain, or is it you, Mrs. Yao?"

Mrs. Yao: ...

She feels very dangerous now.

For some reason, the other party is obviously a young master with no strength to restrain a chicken. He is not very old, he is very thin, his waist is very thin, and he even speaks with a calm demeanor. She is very afraid.

Just like all the things in your heart, the plan in your head, the other party knows everything, and can judge it first, tell her: Look, what you want to say, the direction you want to throw, I have already said it for you , isn't it a surprise?Next, you'd better tell us something we don't know, otherwise—you will be very dangerous.

What should be given up, who should be given up, what should be given, how much should be given...

Mrs. Yao thought quickly in her heart: "In those two nights, the servants did see Master Wei and Master Xiaofang took such sachets and came to talk to Master Jiang. The servants didn't hear much, they only listened to them vaguely. The sachets don’t seem to be their own, but they found them elsewhere when they were doing business, and they thought there was something wrong with them, so they showed Master Jiang.”

"Is that so..." Ye Baiting's eyes darkened slightly, "That's all?"

"More than that," Mrs. Yao pursed her lips, and quickly explained a few names, "...Master Li Mingshun, and Mr. Sun Jiguo, I have seen the same thing on them too."

Ye Baiting signaled Shen Jiang to write it down.

Among these names, some Jin Yiwei has discovered and is currently observing, and some don't know at all...

Mrs. Yao's move was obvious, she probably knew about it but didn't let it go, she expected that Jin Yiwei would not give up, and wanted to sell Xiaobaoda, but she was too cautious, all the buyers were Wuxiang, and none of her own people said anything.

Of course, the more windfalls, the better. Jinyiwei has limited manpower, so far there is no way to completely collect many things, and one can catch one.

Ye Baiting looked at Mrs. Yao: "Do you know that this sachet contains Wuxiang?"

"I don't know," Mrs. Yao was very cautious, "I just know that this thing seems a little strange, and people who have used it are a little... hard to say."

"Since you know there is a problem, why don't you report it to the authorities?"

"Young master said this. How dare you offend nobles with this status? Others are willing to play this, what can I do? Besides, no one is dead and nothing happened. The guests are happier, and my girls will suffer less. Sin, why did my family report to the officials so thanklessly? Is it because I think my life is too long, my life is too smooth, or I earn too much money?"

Ye Baiting's eyes drooped slightly: "You are afraid of officials."

Mrs. Yao patted her chest: "Of course I'm afraid, my family is terrified to death. One finger can crush little ants like us to death."

Ye Baiting looked at her, his eyes suddenly sharpened: "You are afraid of officials, why do you want to help them pull strings?"

Mrs. Yao's expression didn't change at all, she was still smiling: "Pull the thread? What's the meaning of this? Why can't I understand what the young master is saying today?"

"Tang Gui, Fan Moyu, Pan Lu...and those people in Shen Qianhu's list. Before they were promoted, they didn't know anyone in the official department. They didn't have any contacts, but everyone knew you. It was your introduction. With this The way to get promoted, right?"

Lady Yao's eyes rolled quickly.

Ye Baiting: "Ms. Yao's flower boats not only buy and sell black incense, but also buy and sell official positions - don't pretend that you don't know, Mrs. Yao has climbed from a little flower girl who no one cares about to where she is today. It is not because of naivety and ignorance, you You know what happened in every corner of the ship, and the secrets of every girl and guest. Who is Jiang Jihong? Except for your guest, does he have a similar identity and background to you? You just say Wei Shili and Fang Zhizhu once came to him with 'things', Yuan said to solve what, what to solve? Your business? How many boxes of things and the money you lost? Is he helping you settle the matter?"

With a few words, Mrs. Yao's forehead was covered with sweat: "This... I don't know what Jin Yiwei has found, but the piles are such a big matter, what does it have to do with the slave family? The slave family is only doing business, so there is nothing wrong with it." Those who come to spend time on the flower boat will talk about things, and it’s not the fault of my family if others insist on using this place to do things, isn’t it? Jin Yiwei can’t talk nonsense without proof, right?”

"Don't understand? Okay, just say something you can understand."

Ye Baiting gave a look, and Shen Jiang immediately presented new evidence——

A blank piece of rice paper, and two jade flower cards.

Lady Yao narrowed her eyes.

Ye Baiting: "Why was Pan Lu shot dead? Was it because he didn't listen to you, wasn't recruited by you, and was suspected of leaking secrets to Jin Yiwei?"

"After all, the evil does not suppress the righteous. Do you think you can stop everything by setting up a big net and killing people?" Shen Jiang sneered, "It's so secret, it's a secret method, and it's a flower card. Others can't see it... Who can underestimate it! Did you see it, our commander cracked it! Isn't it the paper soaked in special concoction? Use the solution to adjust the water, dip it in with a brush, and sweep it on the paper, and the characters will all appear. It's out! Isn't it just a flower card that looks the same among many girls' brands, and it's just a button mechanism, what's so difficult? Do you want me to show it to you on the spot!"

Lady Yao's expression changed completely, and she couldn't even say what Yuan said for a while.

Ye Baiting glanced over the rice paper: "I don't know how difficult it is for Pan Lu to get such a thing, but the information inside is very important. It clearly records the transaction process of several of your businesses, as well as the way to use this flower card. Everyone chooses, the business object , are all screened out by you yourself, divided into three, six, and nine grades, those that can be used for business, those that can be traded, those that can be controlled, and those that can be transferred to the official department for another purpose... You almost took care of everything in the early stage , but it will not be exposed to the public, just talk about the transaction, others will come, you only need to filter the recommendations, and give tokens to the selected people-this is the flower card."

"Flower cards are something that all the girls on your flower boat will have. They are used to send off benefactors and show their free time. Basically, all the guests on the flower boat will have them, and they are everywhere. But your lady Yao's flower cards are different from others. It's not the same, the color pattern is similar to that of the girls. It is popular with the seasons and changes from time to time. The only thing that remains the same is the extra hidden buttons inside. All your flower cards are specially made by exquisite craftsmen. There are mechanisms inside. People who don't understand can't see anything, just think it's an ordinary flower card, and people who know it will naturally know that it's a token, and whoever it is on is the target..."

"You don't have many flower cards, and they will be recycled. Depending on the person you are looking for and the demands, the marks on the inside of the agency are also different. One is for promotion, with a small coffin drawn in a stick figure inside, and the other is for getting rich. There is an ingot drawn inside, no matter whether Wuxiang is sold on the chain or the official side, people are not recognized, only cards are recognized, and those who have flower cards can continue to follow the next process, either trading money or trading Myself...and you, Miss Yao, the whole process is hidden behind the scenes, and the guests don't even know that everything is arranged and controlled by you, am I right?"

Mrs. Yao: ...

Shen Jiang: "I want to teach Mrs. Yao that we have found quite a few of these two kinds of flower cards. I advise you to speak up and stop lying!"

Lady Yao's face was slightly green, she pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing.

Ye Baiting: "Let's not mention it for the time being, just say that the deceased Fan Moyu and Pan Lu, whom you want to kill, were introduced to the officials by you. I guessed right? Who did you introduce them to, Master Jiang Ji Hong, Wei Shili, the servant, or Fang Zhizhu, the doctor?"

The three officials stood aside and did not speak. Jiang Jihong's face was still very stable, showing no expression. The two young men also tried to calm down, but their tense body language still revealed their emotions. nervous.

The two factory owners are in a very relaxed mood at the moment, and they enjoyed watching the play, but... they also have to be careful not to burn themselves, and remain vigilant.

Miss Yao suddenly laughed.

She caressed her face, with a low smile in her eyes, and a strange light flashed: "I said that it has nothing to do with me, Jin Yiwei is still so aggressive, unrelenting, and what I haven't done, how do I confess? You go to the punishment." , see if you can beat him into a trick."

This is cheating!

Shen Jiang's eyeballs were about to pop out. The evidence is basically solid. How dare you deny it?How dare you be so stubborn?What are you drawing?Do you think you can't be convicted of this crime?

Miss Yao noticed his gaze and returned a charming smile, which can be described as extremely arrogant.

Shen Jiang...is out of control, looking at Ye Baiting, hurry up, young master, show her some color!

He also quietly glanced at the commander, it's not that we didn't work hard, it's because the other party is too cunning, don't worry about getting angry, the commander, there is still time, the young master must still have some skills to show!He really couldn't believe it, this case couldn't be solved today!

Unexpectedly, the commander was not in a hurry to get angry at all, and his eyes didn't seem to be urging at all. On the contrary, the black color in it was slowly, and there seemed to be a smile, as if he was expecting something...

Of course, Qiu Yiqing is looking forward to it. He is looking forward to every action of Xiao Wu. He likes Xiao Wu's way of solving the case, his concentration during the autopsy, the pursuit and interception of confronting suspects, the discovery and breaking of loopholes... every day like this For an instant, he was heartbroken.

Ye Baiting, who was in the center of everyone's attention, did not do anything special. He just looked at Mrs. Yao and said, "It's Wei Shili, isn't it? All the guests in your hands have finally been transferred to him, and all follow-up matters will be handled by him." He will handle it all by himself - he is the moth of the bureaucracy, right?"

Lady Yao looked at Ye Baiting, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, her eyes gradually became serious, angry, and finally she seemed very angry: "How do you know!"

Ye Baiting turned to Wei Shili: "Others have already called out your name, Wei Shilang, why don't you explain? What have you done in the official department? Why is your official career so prosperous, and who is behind you escorting you?"

Wei Shili was stunned for a moment, before he realized what the situation was, he was furious: "She's slandering me!"

Ye Baiting: "Oh, is that so?"

"Can't you see it! You asked her just now, but she didn't say anything, all kinds of denials, and when you mentioned my name, she immediately said yes, what do you mean?" Wei Shili's eyes were burning, "This is taking my name. Be the scapegoat and blame me!"

Of course Ye Baiting knew that mentioning his name was of course intentional, she must give Miss Yao a chance, right?

Even if the evidence is solid, a confession is required to close the Fusi case in Beizhen. Mrs. Yao will not be recruited, and she can be punished, but that is not his style. Mrs. Yao thinks of nothing more than two points, first, to protect herself to the greatest extent, and second, You can't involve the people above, what about the little fish and shrimp?

Give her the illusion that Beizhen Fusi has admitted to the wrong person and only caught the little guy at the bottom, will she make a decisive decision to give up Xiaobaoda immediately?After all, if Jin Yiwei continued to investigate and did not recruit or admit it, the people above might not be safe.

It's all right now, Mrs. Yao herself admits that with this 'buying and selling chain', once she opens her mouth, the follow-up will be easy.

He smiled slightly, and turned to Mrs. Yao: "What should I do? She won't admit it, Mrs. Yao, if you don't give some evidence, you're going to bite for no reason."

Mrs. Yao's heart turned quickly, and she quickly made a decision: "Aren't I the witness? I sent the flower card to him, and he did it. Didn't the Jin Yiwei have already found it? If this is not enough, I am in the capital. There is a private house, the third house in Liushu Hutong, the drawer behind the hidden compartment in the study, Jin Yiwei can ask someone to take a look."

Shen Jiang's expression cleared up, it really happened!He immediately beckoned for someone to pick it up.

Now that Mrs. Yao has admitted it, the matter is settled, and nothing can be found anymore, Ye Baiting stopped asking Mrs. Yao, and looked at Wei Shili again: "Master Wei still feels innocent now, that Mrs. Yao took the blame? If so, who should be the real blame?"

Wei Shili's face was full of gloom: "You Jinyiwei solved the case and asked me instead? I'm not the only one in the bureaucracy, and I'm not the only one who runs the errands. Whoever is more cunning, everyone has experienced it, and whoever is good at archery will deceive people. Don't you all?" Know?"
