Yun Ting anecdotes

Several officers from the Patrol Workshop hurriedly carried the stretcher to the courtyard. Chief Feng looked up and saw a young man with the appearance of a scholar on the stretcher. There was a red spot on his forehead, which showed that he had fainted.

When the leader saw Feng Changshi, he clasped his fists in a salute and said, "I haven't seen Feng Changshi for a long time. This person is involved in a strange case. Our lord told us to send it to the Charging Secretary. Please accept it, Mr. Changshi."

accept?This should be a gift.

Those officials wanted to leave after finishing their speech, Feng Changshi hurriedly stopped and said: "What's going on here, let's make it clear."

"Lord Chang Shi, we are also following orders, stay back, stay back." Those people retreated really neatly, and turned out of the gate of the mansion in a blink of an eye.

Feng Changshi glanced at their castration, he couldn't help being a little surprised. It is said that Mr. Xu, a new official in the patrol workshop, has not yet lit the three fires, so he is a good hand at throwing the pot away.

Chunyu Yelai was leaning over to check the wounded man's condition. The red mark on the young man's forehead bulged out, but luckily it was not serious.He applied some detoxifying and refreshing ointment for him, and waited for him to wake up slowly.The scholar opened his dazed eyes, and felt that someone was helping him up, and a cup of warm water was handed to him.

"Drink some water first."

The scholar drank a few sips of water with Chunyu Yelai's hand, and regained some sobriety.Chunyu Ye came to hear him thank you, and then asked: "Young master, what's your name?"

The scholar heard the sound, looked up, and found that he was no longer in the patrol workshop, he was surprised: "Where is this place?"

"Secretary Charing." Feng Changshi replied concisely.

"People from Patrol Workshop brought you here." Chunyu Yelai added.

"Where is Charing Commander? Is he also in charge of investigating cases? Can you seek justice for me!"

"Check, ask for it, tell me, why did you commit suicide, what justice do you want to ask for?" Feng Changshi knelt down and looked directly at him.

"I, I can't tell here," he looked around.The door in the hall is open, and people outside the hall can naturally be seen coming and going.

Feng Changshi understood and led him into the inner office.

"My...my surname is Yu, and I am a scholar participating in the Yun Ting Chun Exam." The scholar Yu unbuttoned his jacket, allowing the two to see the marks on his body, both Feng Changshi and Chunyu Yelai were surprised.

"Did you tell someone in the Patrol Workshop?" Feng Changshi asked.

With a reluctance on the scholar's face, he said: "Tell me, I said that I was in Wanfangyuan in the west of the city when I woke up this morning. When they heard this, they laughed secretly, saying that Wanfangyuan is a barren garden. I myself... I went there with people and did something, and I forgot about it when it was over, and came to amuse them, and in a fit of anger, I... bumped into a pillar."

After Feng Changshi listened, he snorted coldly and thought, what's the reason for reporting something bad and being laughed at?

Chunyu Yelai listened while looking down at him thoughtfully.

Look at the appearance of this young man, he can be said to be handsome, and he is also young. Could it be that the same thing happened to him a few days ago?

Feng Changshi said to the scholar Yu: "Tell me about the situation you encountered in detail, and I'll go to Wanfangyuan to have a look together later."

Hearing what Yu Shusheng said, it turned out that he was a failed candidate in the spring examination. After the ranking was obtained, he did not return to his hometown like a fellow countryman. Instead, he thought it was rare to come to Shengjing, so he stayed for a few more days , take a good look around.There were vague rumors in the city that young princes, especially handsome ones, would not want to go out at night, but he, like Chunyu Yelai at that time, fell on deaf ears.Last night, he went to the west of the city to enjoy the lanterns, but he was watched by someone for some reason, and what happened afterwards was similar to what happened to Chunyu Yelai.

Feng Changshi asked: "Young Master Yu, how are you doing now, can you walk around?"

"can."

"Then come with me and walk through Wanfang Garden."

Coming to Wanfang Garden again, what Chunyu Yelai saw in his eyes was still a desolate and untended look, but the original builder must have paid special attention to this garden, so even though it became a barren garden, it was surrounded by sparse vegetation and pavilions. Between the terraces, one can still see the delicacy and elegance of this garden.

"Feng Changshi, how could such a garden become an abandoned garden?" Chunyu Yelai asked.

Feng Changshi, "I remember that this garden was awarded by the former emperor to the prime minister at that time. After the First World War in Pijing, the dignitaries in Yunting Court changed a lot. It is estimated that no one cares about this garden since then."

Chunyu Yelai was still a little curious in his heart. The royal family and dignitaries often held a lot of real estate, maybe even they themselves couldn't figure out where it was, how could Feng Changshi remember who owned this seemingly small garden.

He asked, "Has your lord ever been to this garden?"

"I haven't. I heard that this garden was built by the order of Emperor Sheng'an a hundred years ago. Emperor Sheng'an was very concerned about this place. It is rumored that this is where he used his golden house to hide his beauty." Feng Changshi showed a gossiping smile.

It turns out that gossip wins people's hearts.

The three of them walked on the pebble path between the small bamboo forests, and soon they saw a pool of clear water like a mirror, and a small building was built facing the water.When Yu Shusheng saw the small building near the water, he seemed very reluctant to approach it.

"You recognize this small building?" Feng Changshi asked.

"Well...it was here this morning..."

Feng Changshi looked at him, looking like he wanted to remind him but was unwilling to remind him.

Chunyu Yelai persuaded him gently: "Young Master Yu, if someone really killed you, tell me more details before you can help me catch the suspect."

Hearing this, Yu Shusheng lowered his eyes for a moment, as if he had become cruel, and led them towards Linshui Xiaozhu.

It was evening when Feng Changshi and Chun Yulai returned to the Charing Division, and Yu Shusheng had already been settled in an inn near the Charing Division.

"Tell me, what did you find in Wanfang Garden?" Feng Changshi sat down in the hall of the government office, took a sip of water, pointed to the side seat, and signaled Chunyu Ye to sit down and answer.

"Xunzhufang's speculation is wrong, it won't be that Young Master Yu met someone in Banfangyuan."

Feng Changshi, "How to say?"

Chunyu Yelai said, "There are few fallen leaves and dust on the grounds of the small buildings near the water. It can be seen that someone has cleaned it. This is not something that a few tourists would do. Besides, the gate of Wanfang Garden is closed. But it is not for ordinary people to enter. Furthermore, according to Mr. Yu, there should be lanterns and candlesticks in the Linshui Xiaozhu, but I checked, there are no candles in the lanterns, and there are no candlesticks in the room, obviously It has been tidied up, so to speak..."

Feng Changshi, "What is it?"

Chunyu Yelai didn't think of the right word for a while, "well-trained?"

After hearing this, Feng Changshi smiled slightly.

Chunyu Yelai thought to himself, combined with his previous experience, today's inspection had preset answers, and the current question and answer seemed to be cheating.

Chunyu Yelai said, "Master Changshi, I have something to tell you."

Feng Changshi seemed to be thinking about something, he heard this and looked at him, "What's the matter?"

Chunyu Yelai, "The night before the spring test, I also encountered the same thing as Mr. Yu."

"What?" Feng Changshi stood up suddenly in shock, the movement was so loud that the cup on the table almost fell over.

Chunyu Yelai, "But thanks to a mysterious person who helped me and saved me."

"Oh, fortunately." Feng Changshi breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back down again.Although he is old and has been in the court for many years, Feng Changshi, as a martial artist, still has a sense of loyalty and passion in his bones. Seeing that Chunyu came to Yelai without incident, he put away his surprise.

Feng Changshi, "What are the characteristics of this mysterious person, do you still remember?" Since it is said to be a mysterious person, Chunyu Yelai probably doesn't recognize him, but it might be a clue if he appeared in a place like Wanfangyuan.

Chunyu Yelai, "He wears a mask of auspicious beast. I can't remember his face clearly, but I seem to have seen this man again a few days ago."

Feng Changshi, "A few days ago? Where was it?"

Chunyu Yelai said, "Shanchoufang, the martial arts arena, the masked winner."

After Feng Changshi heard this, he almost stood up again in shock. I thought His Royal Highness Prince Youran had made some kind of quarrel with Chunyu, so it turned out to be the case.

Feng Changshi solved a small doubt in his heart, and he returned to the original thoughts, suddenly remembered something, and immediately called Chunyu Yelai, "You go to the case history library and check the case file sent by the patrol workshop. I'm afraid this is not the first time they have met, go and see if there is a record in the file."

Chunyu Yelai, "Yes."

Sure enough, the earliest recorded incident of a young man being assaulted can be traced back to a year ago. The location was not Wanfangyuan, but an abandoned building in Shengjing. At that time, the Xunzufang sent people to check, but nothing was found.The person who reported the case was not from Shengjing, so he couldn't procrastinate and couldn't withstand the pressure, and finally the case was dropped.Since then, similar incidents have occurred at intervals of a few months, but the investigation method of the police station is more like going through the motions and letting the case close itself.

Chunyu Yelai suspected that the number of real incidents might be far more than what was recorded.

Judging from the informants in the records, these informants all have some common characteristics, for example, they are not from Shengjing, they seem weak, and they look like young scholars. If they are combined with the appearance of the young master, one should be added, which is dignified.

These people basically do not know martial arts, do not know spells, and are weak in resistance when things happen.If the case is reported, in Shengjing, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all expenses. If the patrol office delays the case, it will be difficult for them to live in Shengjing for a long time just because of the expenses.Furthermore, some of these people should find it hard to tell, so they swallowed the grievances and went back to their hometowns on their own.

Chunyu Yelai handed over the records in the case file to Feng Changshi, and Feng Changshi looked at it with a cold expression.Yun Ting initially decided that such a thing had happened at the feet of the emperor, and what was even more hateful was that he, Cha Lingsi, had just found out about it.

In addition, he immediately thought of something else: Mr. Xu took office as the new official of the Xunbufang, but he didn't seem to be ignorant of the strangeness, otherwise why would he send that scholar Yu to the Charging Division, I'm afraid some powerful people might be involved in this matter.His Royal Highness King Youran needs to be informed of this matter, but according to Chunyu, why did he appear in Wanfang Garden at that time?

Feng Changshi closed the case file, and said to Chunyu Ye: "Okay, let's check here today, Chunyu, go and rest first."

Chunyu Ye said back and forth, "Yes."

But he feels that Feng Changshi himself is not what he is today.
