The first work of the imperial prison

Calling Princess Yun'an up, the question was very straightforward——

"Does the princess know about the fact that the county horse has the willow disease?"

Princess Yun'an paused, lowered her eyes, and hid her inner disgust: "A lot of people should know, right? Everyone just didn't tell the truth because of sympathy. He thought he could hide it from seeing a doctor in private? The doctor won't go out casually." He said, but what kind of doctor was the one who saw the disease? If he didn’t tell others, he wouldn’t be able to guess it? The storytellers in the market and the neighborhood all had new stories, so he didn’t dare to go to the brothel. If he dared to go, no girl would pick him up. customer."

"Qinglou?"

"This..." Princess Yun'an patted the corner of her lips, "It's Xuan Pinghou, who personally mentioned me a few days ago."

"You don't have a good relationship with the county horse?"

"Okay, it's all done now, there's nothing to say."

"I heard that you and the county horse have been separated for a long time—don't look at me," Shen Jiang blamed the previous suspect, "I don't know, it was Xu Liangxing who just said it."

Princess Yun'an: "Does he suspect that I am the murderer?"

Shen Jiang: "So you and the county horse don't stay together, if there is such a need..."

"I've said it before. Since Junma and I have made do with each other until now, I have no reason to kill him, and so does Mrs. Zhuang. Who doesn't have one or two annoying people in this world, should they all be killed? If I really want to do it, I will If you move, can you let her go until now?"

"What if the two have an affair?"

"Shen Baihu thinks that Shen Huarong wants to get together with me?" Princess Yun'an sneered, "If he really has such ambition, why bother me so far? Tell me, I can let him go at any time."

Ye Baiting immediately understood that the reason why the relationship between this couple can survive until now is because of this delicate balance. Shen Huarong didn't let Princess Yun'an go, and he didn't act recklessly. You have to hold back for your current glory and wealth. As a man, he is not at fault. How can the princess have the nerve to propose divorce?As long as she dares, he will make trouble... In a patriarchal society, it is obvious who outsiders will support.

"What special hobbies does the county horse have? I'm sorry to mention the kind."

Princess Yun'an thought for a while: "Does it count as a story? It's the kind with pictures... It's all pictures."

This is very cryptic, it refers to erotic pictures, Xiao Huangwen.

Shen Jiangqing coughed twice: "The princess thinks, is it possible... who can't understand the situation of the princess, and take action for the princess?"

Princess Yun'an was alert immediately, and tightened the veil in her hand: "Who are you talking about?"

Shen Jiang looked at the words written by Ye Baiting: "It seems that the princess understands very well."

Princess Yun'an lowered her eyebrows and bit her lower lip: "My family's affairs have nothing to do with others. If Jin Yiwei wants to be convicted, please show evidence!"

Shen Jiang: "The last question, where is the princess during the two nights when Junma and Zhuang's accident happened, can anyone prove it?"

Princess Yun'an: "At home, only the personal maid can prove it, but in your eyes, it probably doesn't count as strong evidence."

Seeing that there were no new questions on the paper, Shen Jiang raised his hand: "Princess, don't be upset, Jin Yiwei handles cases according to the rules, and many problems are unavoidable. If there is any new news, I will report back to the princess. Please come back—"

Princess Yun'an saluted Qiu Yiqing, turned around and walked out, but before she could go out, she saw Le Ya standing at the door, and got angry——

"What's the matter with you, you even invited him over! Why did you invite him? He has nothing to do with this case!"

Before Shen Jiang could speak, Le Ya himself smiled first. He tilted his head slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Princess, it's just a routine inquiry needed to solve the case. It's fine."

He is tall, thin, with a straight back, a broad forehead and a high nose, and star-like eyebrows. His temperament fits his name very well. He is as elegant as a jade. He is nearly [-] years old. His temperament is not greasy at all. He is very clean and smiles. It's very stretchy, and it makes people feel like spring breeze when they look at it.

Princess Yun'an bit her lip: "You..."

Le Ya: "I'm a smart person, I won't do stupid things."

Princess Yun'an sneered, pushed him away, and walked forward: "If you want to die, you can die. What does it matter to me?"

Le Ya watched the figure of the princess leave, walked to the front of the hall, and bowed to Qiu Yiqing and the others: "Sorry, I was rude just now."

Now you don't need Young Master Jiao to write, Shen Jiang will ask: "Do you like the princess?"

Le Ya: "I like it."

No one could have imagined that he would answer so simply, dare to answer so simply.

Shin Kang: "It's not good to destroy the relationship between other people's couples."

Le Ya: "So I never stepped forward."

"So what are you doing now?"

"You also said that it's not good to destroy the relationship between other people's husband and wife. They have lost their relationship long ago, but they exist in name only. I can't even say the word "yue"," Le Ya sneered, "I can't help it, maybe it's shameful, but I don't regret it."

Ye Baiting noticed that when he mentioned the word "Shen Huarong", the accent was particularly heavy, so he took up his pen and wrote——

Shen Jiang: "Do you hate Shen Huarong?"

Le Ya: "I wish I could kill him."

"has plans?"

"It's true. I have bought the butcher's knife, but I hesitated. What should I do after I hesitate to do it? The princess has no husband and no one to take care of him. What should I do in the future? Shen Huarong died in the end. If you arrest her Kill the murderer, please tell me, I need to thank you very much!"

"Do you know Mrs. Zhuang?"

"know."

"Have you ever had any interaction with him?"

"No."

"According to the investigation, both Mrs. Zhuang and Shen Huarong got Hualiu—"

Le Ya smiled: "Do you suspect that I killed them?" Before Shen Jiang could ask again, he said, "It's a coincidence that I can't tell you the whereabouts of these two people during the two nights they died. , and no one has testified, but if you insist on doubting me, please produce evidence.”

Shen Jiang: "You are so crazy, aren't you afraid that we will embarrass the princess?"

Le Ya was stunned, and looked at Qiu Yiqing: "I heard that the commander's methods are hot, but they are black and white, and they are selfless. They shouldn't be angry for no reason and embarrass the princess, right?"

Qiu Xunqing's expression didn't change at all, and she couldn't see any emotion.

Le Ya lowered her eyes: "If... I killed it, and I admit it, will the princess not have any trouble?"

Qiu Yiqing tapped the table with her knuckles: "You can step back."

Shen Jiang watched the person go out, a little puzzled: "Is this musician a little crazy? Is it like this for all the servants in the palace? Or are all musicians like this?"

Ye Baiting wrote down a name on the paper: "Shen Baihu asks someone to come in and ask, won't you know?"

The next one is also a musician, but instead of serving in the palace, he is a musician in the flower building in the city, Miaoyinfang, Shi Mi.

People who can be musicians are not bad looking. For example, Le Ya, in addition to his appearance, what is more eye-catching about him is his temperament. It looks rich and charming, with a special sense of story, maybe mysterious, maybe passionate, maybe contradictory and melancholy, no matter good or bad, he is pure, has consistent persistence and pursuit, compared with these, age is not so important.

Compared with the publicity of the palace musician Le Ya, Shi Mi, who works in the market, is much more low-key. He is very humble and has a special melancholy temperament. If it wasn't for his overly handsome appearance, overly elegant posture, and even the hairdo that was more delicate than others, it would be almost impossible to tell that he is a musician.

Shen Jiang: "Shen Huarong and Mrs. Zhuang are dead, did you know?"

Smith lowered his eyes: "I know."

Shen Jiang narrowed his eyes: "You know it's normal for the county horse to die. He is a regular customer in your workshop. Why would you know about Mrs. Zhuang's accident? She is a housewife and has nothing to do with you."

Shi Mi: "Although Mrs. Zhuang is a housewife, the villain recognizes her."

"How do you know?"

"Master Xu is a frequent visitor to the workshop. Mrs. Zhuang is a bit narrow-minded. Our workshop is not a brothel, and we don't do skin and meat business. We just play piano and sing music for our guests. We have to leave late at night, but even so, Mrs. Zhuang still minds very much. Occasionally, I am in a bad mood." When it’s good, I’ll bring someone to look for it...so I get to know each other.”

Shen Jiang was a little curious: "Go to the past...to mess up?"

Smith: "It doesn't count, but the girl who was there at the time couldn't help being wronged."

Shen Jiangqing coughed twice, and continued: "This case is quite big. Two people died in succession, and they are all related to your Miaoyinfang—are you not afraid?"

"This..." Smith paused, "I wonder if my lord has ever been to Miaoyinfang?"

Shen Jiang stared: "Answer whatever you ask, don't get involved!"

It just hasn't been there.

Shi Mi lowered his eyes: "Adults are pure and virtuous, and they don't step on low ground, but how many people in the world are like adults? Our workshop is somewhat famous in the capital, and there are many customers. The villain speaks boldly, except for the old and the young. Half of the men are our guests, and the lady in the back house will ask people to inquire from time to time if she cares about her husband and son... If you say you are worried about business, where do you start?"

Shen Jiang choked, seeing the newly written words on the paper by Young Master Jiao, he was stunned for a moment, and it was a direction he hadn't thought of at all——

"Junma is a regular customer of your workshop, and so is Xu Liangxing, so are the two of them familiar?"

Shi Mi was stunned for a moment: "This...it's hard to say."

Here's something!Shen Jiang was a little excited: "Why is it hard to say?"

Shi Mi: "I heard from the old man in the workshop that the relationship between the two of them seemed to be good before, and now the two families have not cut off contact, but when they came to our place, let alone pretend not to know each other, at most they just bumped into each other. Nod your head, don't look at anyone after passing by, never say hello, if you accidentally order the same girl, you will never quarrel, and the one you order later will be replaced immediately... The atmosphere of the nobles is not harmonious , I can’t see through it, and it takes a lot of effort to serve, and the girls there are sometimes very troubled.”

Shen Jiang looked at the paper and asked again: "They never sit together?"

"Since the villain came to the workshop, I have never seen it."

"Nothing to do together? Fresh or not, it doesn't matter."

Smith paused and didn't speak.

Shen Jiang narrowed his eyes: "Speak!"

"The villain doesn't dare to arrange things indiscriminately, because I heard something..." Shi Mi twirled her fingertips, as if hesitating, but was finally forced by Shen Jiang, and said slowly, "It's not our workshop, It's the flower building next door, there is a leading girl named Hong Mei playing flower work, she put the Supa... rubbed on her body... as a gift, because this girl is charming and enchanting, the price is very high, and it is rare to see it in normal times , This Supa has attracted guests to scramble for it, and I heard that both Junma and Master Xu have won it."

"Supa? Got it all?"

"It's all what the villain heard, and I can't count..." Shi Mi hesitated, and then said, "Then the girl disappeared. It has been about ten days. I don't know if she redeemed her body or something happened. The mother in the building It is said that she died of a sudden illness, the villain does not know the truth and dare not speak nonsense, if it is useful in this case, please ask the adults to investigate it in person."

This information has never been heard before!

Shen Jiang chased after him and continued to ask: "Jun Ma and Xu Liangxing hated each other, isn't there a grudge? Didn't they fight? Or did you not watch and dare not say it?"

Shi Mi: "Whether there is a big enmity... The villain really doesn't know, and he really can't see it. If he insists on saying that he doesn't like it to the point of fighting, compared to the two of them, Xuanping Houxu is more subtle."

"Xuan Pinghou?" Why did another one pop up?

"Master Hou is also a frequent visitor to the workshop. If the three of them meet, the atmosphere is similar to that of Mr. Xu, the county horse. He doesn't nod or say hello. He seems to be displeased, but he doesn't make trouble. When Ma and Lord Hou were there, for some reason, it was suddenly different from usual, the county horse smashed the wine glass at Lord Hou and moved his hand..."

"What happened among these three people?"

"The villain doesn't know, but I feel the same as the adults. There should be some old things happened between these three people. It's not easy to talk to outsiders." Bad habits, talking about others’ right and wrong, a lot of hearsay, dare not tell the truth, if adults need it, it’s better to go and check it out.”

Shen Jiang: "Speaking of which, the location of your workshop is very special. If you go to kill people, it seems very convenient."

Shi Mi was stunned for a moment: "Uh...the villain killed them? Could it be that he thought there were too few rewards? My lord, don't make such a joke."

……

After asking Shi Mi, let people go down, Shen Jiang rubbed his hands, jumped in front of Ye Baiting, very excited: "Did you hear that just now? There is a girl in a brothel who died of a sudden illness! And that handkerchief, is there any?" question!"

Ye Baiting nodded, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Not only this girl, but also a Marquis of Xuan Ping, not only the princess mentioned it, but also Shi Mi mentioned it—"

He looked at Qiu Suiqing.

Qiu Yiqing's head: "It's not convenient to summon today, I will ask myself later."

There was only the last person summoned from the outside, the doctor Chang Shan, and Shen Jiang called him up while the iron was hot.

"Tell me, why is the clinic open so late?"

The people who called here today except for Xu Liangxing are all good-looking. Chang Shan has handsome features and a slender figure. He is in his 20s. Instead of being a teenager, he has the stability of an adult man, and his temperament looks very down-to-earth.

After he finished his salute, he sighed: "I don't want to, but I offended someone before. If I open the door in the morning like other medical clinics, someone will come and smash it. I have no choice but to open later."

Ye Baiting instantly understood why he sighed.

Of course, you need to choose a time to open the door to do business. Who doesn't want to work during the day, no matter the dignitaries or the common people, the atmosphere is always peaceful. Who are the people who do business at night?Goulan gambling houses, thieves selling stolen goods, and even people who specialize in dark day business... This doctor can treat all kinds of people, and he has everything.

For example, the disease of willows and willows, don't you just ask him to see it?

"When did it start?"

"a year ago."

"Junma and Zhuang's both asked you to treat flowers and willows?"

"Yes," Chang Shan said respectfully, "it's just the front and back."

"The same illness, you don't suspect it?"

"This... To be honest, there are many patients in the villain's clinic, and girls often come here at night. This disease is new to others, but it's not the first time for Yu Xiaoren to see it."

"Are you good at seeing this disease?"

"Perhaps I couldn't find anyone else to look at, so everyone came to me," Chang Shan nodded slightly, "In order to avoid trouble, the villain only sees a doctor and doesn't talk too much about why the patient is sick and what doubts he has. , the villain just listened, and if he didn’t say anything, the villain didn’t pay attention, if the illness really affected him, he would at most ask for a reminder, the patient’s cooperation is the best, and it’s fine if he doesn’t cooperate.”

"Do you know that your medical center is very subtle from the scene of the two deaths? It's a place you can easily walk to, and your medical center is still open for business—"

Seeing Chang Shan's eyes flickering, Shen Jiang immediately shouted: "Don't try to lie, I have checked, you opened the door for two nights!"

Chang Shan sighed: "The villain dare not lie. Although the guests of the medical center are not powerful, they occasionally ask to see a doctor alone and separate a private space. When the villain is busy, he will be in this compartment for a while, and then in that compartment for a while. My lord Asked where the villain was at the exact time, the villain couldn't tell, I really didn't remember, even if those patients were found, there was no way for the villain to prove it, the adults insisted that the villain went out to commit murder on the way to practice medicine... ...The villain can't justify himself, but the villain really didn't kill anyone."

"Junma, Mrs. Zhuang, you have all been treated. What about the others, Princess Yun'an, Xu Liangxing, the right servant of the household department, Le Ya, the musician in the palace, and Shi Mi of Miaoyinfang—do you recognize them?"

Chang Shan paused for a moment: "These few... are all celebrities, and the villain has met on different occasions, but they may not recognize the villain."

"The medical center has recently taken over other Hualiu patients?"

"This... yes."

"Name, general condition, write them all down."

"Yes."

After all the questions were asked, when he was about to invite him down, Ye Baiting suddenly asked him a question: "Are you married yet?"

Chang Shan was startled, but smiled: "We are married, and have a wife, Zi Shi, who will take care of me at home."

Ye Baiting: "You are toiling in the hospital and not coming home all night. There are all kinds of patients, so she doesn't worry?"

Chang Shan: "If you get used to it, it will be fine."

Shen Jiang directed the people to go out: "Put your fingerprint on the document at the door, let's go."

Chang Shan looked at the record document at the door, and then looked back at Ye Baiting, as if he didn't understand, it was clearly the one who made the paper and pen record on the case, why did he put his fingerprint on this document?

Apart from those in the house, probably no one knows that Young Master Jiao's handwriting is really shameful.

The room became quiet again, and Qiu Yiqing stood up: "If you have any thoughts, please tell me."

Ye Baiting found a name named Hongmei among the names written down by Chang Shan, and pressed it with her slender fingertips: "First of all, this one—this girl, I need to look it up."

The last time I saw a doctor was [-] days ago. At that time, the disease was already very serious. Not to mention the daily review, I needed to go every two days. Why did I suddenly disappear and no longer see a doctor?

If there is no accident, this girl is probably the one that Shi Mi said, the top card of the brothel who threw the veil outside, and the source of the flowers and willows may be on her.

"Princess Yun'an said that Shen Huarong likes to read stories with 'somewhat special' content."

In order not to be separated from the princess, he controlled himself not to indulge, not to find someone, but he never thought about it, what should he do?The erotic little Huang Wen gave him great help. He often fantasizes about these things. It is hard not to be excited when he gets the long-awaited private veil of the top brand in the brothel. If the time and space are suitable, he may play one soon. If you have any special habit, or don't pay attention to hygiene...

It is entirely possible to get this disease.

Even if this woman is the source of Hualiu, the handkerchief thrown out carries pathogens, both the county horse and Xu Liangxing, why the county horse is infected, Xu Liangxing does not, but his wife Zhuang has it? ?

Qiu Yiqing: "Xu Liangxing said that Mrs. Zhuang likes to straighten his clothes."

Whether it's expressing intimacy or conveying their intimacy to outsiders, the contact is frequent. It's not surprising that Zhuang will encounter things from Xu Liangxing.

"And on the day of the flower banquet, there was an accident—"

"Aphrodisiac pills!"

As soon as Qiu Yiqing mentioned it, Ye Baiting immediately thought of it. Anything with this kind of effect is very stimulating, both in taste and vision. He didn't know how others planned that day and how everything happened, but Zhuang quickly It was solved, it was solved quickly and well, did you really not get any breath?Even if it didn't touch it, the effect of the medicine would not be too great. I must have witnessed the exciting scene at that time, so would there be no disturbance in my heart?

Mrs. Zhuang is not an innocent little girl, her relationship with her husband is a little delicate, this kind of thing is obviously not harmonious, she has been sick for a long time, she has been away for a long time, and finally recovered from her illness, and she is in a good mood, her husband is by her side, Would you like to do something?

But the time is not right, the traces of the loin-clothed dragon are still on her body, and the doctor is very cold... how about later?There is time and space, and the excitement of the picture she saw earlier is lingering, what will she do?

Theoretically, there is also the possibility of contact infection, the problem is too coincidental.

It is not a small probability event that Hongmei, the top card in the brothel, got Hualiu due to work reasons. Coincidentally, she got it. The private veil carrying the pathogen landed on Shen Huarong and Xu Liangxing, and then disappeared suddenly. During this period of time, Zhuang held a flower banquet, and there were many guests at the banquet, and the incident of "aphrodisiac pills" happened. Because Zhuang handled it properly, it basically had no effect, but she and Shen Huarong "mistaked" it at the same time. Slightly poisoned, and later confirmed to be suffering from Hualiu, was killed in a dark alley.

Ye Baiting tried to analyze the logic here: "I have been unable to figure out two points. One is the poison. The toxicity is mild and the symptoms are not obvious. It seems that it only affects the appetite of the deceased. If it is taken by mistake, Why are there two dead people? If not, what is the purpose of others poisoning like this?"

Can't kill, can't even make the dead particularly uncomfortable.But any act of poisoning is very risky, why do this kind of thing that has almost no venting feeling and no benefit?

"Maybe it's just to make them stop thinking about food..." The blue eyes of hatred flashed black, as if thinking of something, he looked at Ye Baiting with star-like eyes, "When a person has no desire for food, what would he want to do?"

There is a saying that is full of warmth and lust.

The two deceased were not full and warm, but had a bad appetite and didn’t want to eat. But they were not poor, they couldn’t afford food, and they were in a safe and secure environment. They were not infected with flowers and willows at that time, and the basic desires of the human body could still be left. what?
