Dali Siqing solves the case and is super god
Chapter 66
This position is indeed delicate.
Although you can see the street view by the window, the street view is not bad, there are trees and flowers, and the light red sand floating in Lanfang Pavilion on the opposite side, with a faint smell of powder, which has a sense of atmosphere. I have to say that it is a good location, but the angle is problematic. , can't see the river, and the river is not the only way for Wang Deye to go home.
I couldn’t see when I was drinking, I couldn’t remember after drinking, and it was not particularly comfortable to walk according to the distance. How did Wang Deye get to the river, fell into the water and drowned?
"... Mr. Wang drank farewell wine that day. Most of the seats were colleagues. Yao wished him a smooth journey on the second day. The atmosphere during the banquet was very good, lively, persuading wine, just like most wine tables, but later colleagues They took their leave one by one, and went to Xi San people, but Mr. Wang didn't leave. He changed new dishes, ordered new wine, and drank alone for a long time. The wine brewed here is so delicious..."
The shopkeeper stood aside with his hands tied, talking about what happened at that time.
This restaurant, including the shopkeeper here, has been investigated by Wen Renchang, and they all have verifiable alibi, which should have nothing to do with the case. What they said is also recorded in detail in the file. Chao Muyun asked again, just wanted Take a look to see if there are any missing details that others don't pay attention to.
There is nothing to gain from the confession, did the deceased sit in this position...
Chao Muyun pointed to the room facing the street on the third floor across the street, with a small half balcony extending out: "Who lives there?"
Not far from the window is Lanfang Pavilion. The wine shop is here, and I know it must be a bit inhumane and careful to bring customers or something, but the location of the restaurant is a little deeper, and what I can see is not Lanfang. It is not the main entrance of the pavilion, but its back alley.
The main entrance of Lanfang Pavilion faces the street, and the good scenery and decoration are all in front. There are only red gauze with slightly less decoration in the back alley, and the quieter rooms in comparison.Looking at the characteristics of a small amount of laundry in a row, it is not difficult to see that these rooms next to the back alley are probably the rooms where the girls rest on weekdays after they do not receive customers.
As for the seat where Wang Deye used to sit, he raised his head slightly, facing the street with two sides. It seemed to have a slightly larger sense of space and a slightly more ornate decoration. By contrast, it was the room with the best view in this row.
"Let me take a look..." The shopkeeper glanced sideways and smiled, "This is Miss Zhitan's room. This girl Zhitan is amazing. She is now twenty years old and has been receiving customers for six years. She has been prosperous for a long time. , has always been the top card in Lanfang Pavilion, and she hasn't been squeezed out by any little girl until now. Many big people in the capital are her guests..."
Girl Zhitan seems to be quite well-known in the market, and there are many people who talk about it, and the shopkeeper can't stop talking when she talks about it, which is quite interesting.
Chao Muyun was not in a hurry, after listening to his flattery, he said again: "Is there anything unusual about Lord Ye Wang's emotions or actions?"
"No," the shopkeeper shook his head. "After Mr. Wang's accident, the officials came to question him. Once in a while, we couldn't be less impressed. We didn't find anything unusual that night."
Chao Muyun asked questions while observing the scene, Ye Wugou did the same, even jumped on the roof and looked elsewhere.
There are rewards, but not many.
After turning around, the two looked at each other, and went to Lanfang Pavilion by the way.
The old bustard had blocked her from left to right, saying that the girls had been busy all night, and now they were resting, so they really didn't have the energy to deal with the questioning, as in the afternoon...
Before I finished speaking, I heard a gentle and charming female voice upstairs: "Everyone who comes is a guest, why should mother be in trouble?"
"Hey, are you awake? What time is it..."
"The medicine I took is too bitter, and I can't sleep anymore on the left and right. Please come up."
Only then did the bustard smile and express her annoyance, and invite the two of them to go upstairs.
Chao Muyun and Ye Wugou were invited to a room facing the street on the third floor. The environment was elegant and the space was not small. From tables, chairs, short couch to bed cabinets, everything was missing. Looking out of the window, you can see the wide river, and the scenery is also beautiful. excellent.
But after a little calculation in my mind, I knew that this was not what the shopkeeper said, the room Zhitan lived in in the back alley was a room used to entertain guests and make money.
Because it was daytime, the usual rest time, Zhi Tan didn't put on makeup, and her clothes were not gorgeous, but her hair was lightly tied up, with messy hair falling from her temples, giving her an extremely gentle beauty.
It is worthy of being the top brand, every move, every frown and smile is touching, beautiful to the extreme, there is no need for heavy makeup, and there is also the charm of plain makeup.
Holding the pot in her bare hands, she refills the tea for the two of them. The movements are so aesthetically pleasing, and even the sound of the tea water hitting the teacup is particularly clear and ethereal.
"The two of you don't seem like guests who came here to seek pleasure, looking for a little girl... Do you have something to ask?"
She held the lamp in both hands and handed it over to the two guests, her eyes were charming and her voice was soft and melodious.
Chao Muyun took the tea, and when she handed it to Ye Wugou, he glanced at him.
The winking eyes are like silk, the dimples are light and sweet, and there is a kind of straightforward frankness, as if curious about the mask on his face, and really want to see what the face underneath looks like.
There is no physical contact, no verbal hints, but curiosity itself is also a kind of seduction.
She is seducing Ye Wugou.
Ye Wugou didn't dodge like a tiger, after all, the girl didn't come close either, she lifted the fan lightly in her hand, took the cup of tea that was handed over, gently picked and avoided it, the tea cup had landed firmly on the table: "— —Miss Zhitan, be careful, women have thin skin, don't get burned."
While talking, he still glanced at Chao Muyun without any trace.
He is a famous man now, he can't play around like before, he will be misunderstood, absolutely not!
Zhitan also understood immediately, the other party's words were warning with cold killing intent.
She is good at tea art, and the newly brewed tea is hot, but after using the tea set continuously, washing, turning the cup, and passing it to the other party, it is not so hot, it may be slightly hot to the hand, and it will definitely not reach the point of scalding.
A woman's skin is thin... or is her fortune thin?
The other party was warning her not to make up her own mind, so as not to play with fire.
Zhitan smiled, and cut her hair with bare hands, covering up the embarrassment very naturally: "I'm lazy in dressing up every day, and I'm quite negligent. Seeing that you two have a gentleman's appearance, I don't think I mind being impolite."
"The beauty is in front, but it's elegant." Ye Wugou gently shook the fan in his hand, looking at Chao Muyun, "What do you think, Mr. Chao?"
Chao Muyun nodded slightly: "Miss Zhitan, don't be nervous, the two of us are here today, I just have a few questions to ask the girl."
Wen Xian knew the elegant meaning, and Zhitan knew that when others gave her enough face, she still spoke gently and softly, but her words and deeds were less charming: "My lord, please tell me."
Chao Muyun: "At the end of this spring, Wang Deye, the servant of the household department, slipped and fell into the river and drowned. Does the girl know about this?"
"So that's what happened," Zhitan covered her lips and smiled lightly, "There are people coming and going in the building, I shouldn't remember it, but I have been asked too many times, so I can't help but think about it again and again. Now I want to forget it, it's hard gone."
"He stumbled and fell into the river, did the girl see it?"
"Not at all," Zhitan drank tea with lowered eyes, "It was very busy that night, and most of the things I dealt with here were dignified people. After many times, and heard a lot of gossip, I know that Mr. Wang's death is disgraceful."
Ye Wugou: "What were you busy with that night, are there any guests related to officialdom?"
"This, your government has checked it, there should be a file record?"
Zhitan chuckled: "At that time, something seemed to have happened inside the Cao Gang, and there was also a problem with the transfer of the salt road. Many people wanted to grab the position of the transfer envoy, and they tried their best in private, such as the regular customers of my concubine, the sixth-rank official Li Cunying, that night was where he was spending money, entertaining Shan Yuling, the servant of the household department. The household department is in charge of money, grain and taxes, and the salt affairs are particularly tight. If you want to pierce it, you have to burn incense and worship Buddha... But you know, the transfer of officials is not just a matter of the household department, if the household department likes you, if the official department does not send officials, you still can't get in."
Chao Muyun didn't miss the deep meaning in the other party's expression: "That night, there were also people from the official department?"
"It's because we didn't invite that something happened," Zhitan smiled, "Li Cunying probably wanted to break down one by one, and invited them together, but worried that he couldn't handle it, so he invited Shan Yuling first, and didn't invite anyone from the official department. Hu Fumeng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, happened to be passing by that night, and he happened to see the feast and music, and he happened to listen to it, so he knew it was for the dispatch of the Salt Division."
She didn't say it too clearly, and there is no need to say this too clearly, Chao Muyun and Ye Wugou understood it.
The people below want to be officials, and they want to go out of their way. Everyone understands that who comes first and who comes last.
If you get stuck a little bit, things will be difficult for you afterwards.
Zhitan's voice was gentle: "Li Cunying didn't know that her luck was as good as her name, so she had to bite the bullet and invite Mr. Hu from the bureaucracy to come in and sit down. It's not unreasonable to tear at the door. Mr. Hu was not happy, so she came in and sat down for a while. After a while, the concubine collected the night's money, proudly helping Master Li, exhausting all possible means, very busy, but Master Hu was really in a bad mood, and finally had no choice but to break up unhappy."
Ye Wugou: "From what you mean, you didn't meet Wang Deye that night?"
Zhi Tan shook her head: "Of course not, I don't even have time to take a look at the river outside the window."
Ye Wugou: "But your room is facing his drinking seat in the restaurant."
"Winehouse?" Zhitan was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes, and smiled, "You are a bit joking, my concubine can go back to her room when she is resting during the day, and the business is just right this evening, so how can she not serve her?" A guest? Even if my concubine wants to rest, my mother won't let me."
Chao Muyun: "Business, is it possible to negotiate?"
"Business?"
"What Li Cunying wants to talk about."
"I don't think so," Zhitan thought for a while, and said, "Come to a place like ours to talk about things. It's more like a harmonious relationship before talking about things. The details will not be disclosed in front of us. Yes, but the atmosphere was so bad after that, Mr. Hu from the Ministry of Officials, Mr. Shan from the Ministry of Households all looked a bit down, Mr. Shan even scolded Li Cunying, vaguely mentioned something about the money, the concubine didn't hear clearly, They won't let the concubine listen clearly, but I guess, the conversation will fall apart in all likelihood."
Chao Muyun: "You didn't see Mr. Wang that night, and you are not familiar with Mr. Wang?"
Zhitan's smile had some meaning: "If you want to say that you are familiar with Mr. Wang, you probably have to ask this benefactor, Mr. Li Cunying. He seems to have a close relationship with Mr. Wang."
Chao Muyun: "The guests you entertained tonight are all in the room, have they never gone out?"
"How is it possible," Zhi Tan said, "This is both wine and tea. Even if you don't get drunk, you have to leave the banquet and go to the official room, right? The concubine also needs to touch up her makeup occasionally. It's really not always I have seen some adults."
Ye Wugou discovered the details again: "Where do you touch up your makeup?"
"Your guest is still suspicious of my concubine's status." Zhitan pointed to the room next door, smiling brightly, "Take up makeup and take a break. There is a room specially set up for girls in the building. I'm afraid that girls will relax when they go back to their own room, and don't want to go back. We're picking up the guests."
After asking a few more questions, Chao Muyun and Ye Wugou left Lanfang Pavilion.
"Have you..." Lu Jing was sparsely populated, and Ye Wugou looked at Chao Muyun, "Feel something?"
Chao Muyun glanced at him indifferently: "This Zhitan girl is charming and provocative, with good skills."
Ye Wugou: ...
Good skills... Are you talking about her, or are you talking about me?You noticed that woman's actions just now, didn't you?But I justly refused, you clearly saw it!
Unexpectedly, Chao Muyun's words were not finished yet, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes: "Master Ye seems to have seen many such people, and he has...a lot of experience in dealing with them?"
"Wow, no way," Ye Wugou was a little guilty when he was stared at by these clean and beautiful eyes. He used to attract bees and butterflies outside, and all kinds of sloppy things could not be discovered, although he really only saw a lot, Haven't practiced it before, "I've only seen people like you."
Chao Muyun: "Oh? What about a person like me...?"
"Good-looking, kind-hearted," Ye Wugou praised his sincerity at first, but then his tone changed, and peach blossoms appeared in his eyes, "Always miss me, miss me so much."
Chao Muyun: ...
You Cao Gang chiefs, are you all so shameless?
Ye Wugou was confident and confident: "Otherwise, how can you remember this kind of thing in your heart, and still come to ask out of curiosity?"
Maybe there is an attempt on him!
Zhao Muyun smiled.
Ye Wugou was immediately on guard, although the sick man had a good-looking smile, clean and clear, handsome temperament, obedient and obedient, sweet or sweet, and people who could seduce people blushed and heartbeat, but at this moment, when he smiled like this, it seemed a little...a bit irritating Fear?
Chao Muyun looked at him: "Why am I curious... You are so smart, why don't you guess it?"
After speaking, he turned around and left, simply and neatly.
Ye Wugou: ...
Maybe it was because the flowers were too fragrant, or maybe the wind was too hot. At this moment, his heart beat as fast as a drum.
The sick man teased him again!
If you don't have this kind of thinking, don't flirt, in case he takes it seriously and loses control... Is this sick man responsible!
"Wait...wait a minute," Chao Muyun felt that day by day, he was becoming less and less imposing in front of the sick man. He was not at all like the free and unrestrained gang leader before. He intentionally brought back a little image, and nodded his fan. Looking at Muyun's shoulder, he coughed, "If you're serious, will you get something?"
Chao Muyun nodded simply: "Yes, Miss Zhitan's words hinted that there seems to be a word of wealth in this matter."
As for the officialdom and the salt road, coupled with the secret participation of the Cao Gang, there is a very high possibility that this word of wealth is related to corruption and bribery.
However, it involves secrets in the officialdom, even if a brothel girl knew about it, she would not dare to say too much.
He looked at Ye Wugou: "Yan Dao often deals with your gang, you should be very familiar with it?"
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The officialdom and the Cao Gang are actually the same. It's just that the former is better at verbal pretentiousness, and the latter is more straightforward and brutal," Ye Wugou said slowly, "Money is a good thing , where there is movement, there must be a destination, and if there is, I may be able to find out."
Chao Muyun: "Although it's just a guess—but, please."
"You're still being polite to me?"
Ye Wugou shook the fan lightly in his hand, his smiling lips curled up slightly, and he looked suave and suave: "Tell me, how did this Wang Deye die? He clearly couldn't see the river, if he was so drunk that he was unconscious and crooked, the shopkeeper of the wine shop The buddy can't let him go like this. Anyway, people are not short of money. Just ask someone to wait and send it back. If you give someone a favor, you can get a reward for sending it back. Why not do it? If you are conscious and not drunk It’s amazing, how could you stumble and fall into the river?”
I can't explain it.
Chao Muyun nodded, this is where the doubt lies, the shopkeeper's words are also very clear, he feels a little drunk, but it is not impossible to leave.
Ye Wugou tapped the handle of his fan lightly on his palm: "If he killed him, what was his motive? He deliberately chose the day before leaving Beijing, because he didn't want him to build rivers?"
Chao Muyun: "As soon as the court order is issued, the matter cannot be changed. If this one is killed, there will be a second one on top. It is impossible to kill him."
It can only be delayed a little bit, but is this time important?
"Master Xiaochao, you're being careless," Ye Wugou raised Chao Muyun's hair with his fan, and brushed it against his nose seemingly without any frivolity, only flirtatious, "In the face of huge benefits, what's the point of killing someone?"
As long as the income is rich enough, one person can be killed, two people can be killed, and many people can be killed.
Huge benefits...
The ink in Chao Muyun's eyes surged, becoming more and more serious.
It takes money to build the river, and it also prevents others from making money. Once the river is repaired, the water transportation route must be changed. What about the money for this road?For a general team, the route will be changed. At most, the road is not familiar, and it needs to go twice more, or the cost will increase slightly. It is not difficult to control, but in case something is not very transparent, the secret cannot To outsiders, is this the only way to make money?
Then the matter in the middle is big.
Having seen the scene, and the person who should ask the question, the next destination is naturally the scene of the exhumation and autopsy.
The distance was a little far, but Ye Wugou's horse was fast, and it didn't take long to bring them here.
The progress of the scene was just right, officials and family members were present, the procedure ceremony was completed, and the coffin was lifted out, ready to move the corpse for a closer look.
It has been a few months since the end of spring, and the summer is hot, which is not conducive to the preservation of the corpse. Fortunately, the corpse is buried in the ground, separated by a slightly deep soil. It is certain that the decay is serious, but it does not mean that there is nothing. .
But things like corpses are either well-preserved or just a set of white bones. At most, they look uncomfortable and not too frightening. However, this kind of corpse is severely corrupted and not completely rotten, and the perception is extremely uncomfortable. .
There were even insects of unknown species crawling around on the body.
The onlookers subconsciously stayed away, and some ran to the side to vomit. Huai had never seen the corpse, but looked excited: "Not bad, there is something."
Although you can see the street view by the window, the street view is not bad, there are trees and flowers, and the light red sand floating in Lanfang Pavilion on the opposite side, with a faint smell of powder, which has a sense of atmosphere. I have to say that it is a good location, but the angle is problematic. , can't see the river, and the river is not the only way for Wang Deye to go home.
I couldn’t see when I was drinking, I couldn’t remember after drinking, and it was not particularly comfortable to walk according to the distance. How did Wang Deye get to the river, fell into the water and drowned?
"... Mr. Wang drank farewell wine that day. Most of the seats were colleagues. Yao wished him a smooth journey on the second day. The atmosphere during the banquet was very good, lively, persuading wine, just like most wine tables, but later colleagues They took their leave one by one, and went to Xi San people, but Mr. Wang didn't leave. He changed new dishes, ordered new wine, and drank alone for a long time. The wine brewed here is so delicious..."
The shopkeeper stood aside with his hands tied, talking about what happened at that time.
This restaurant, including the shopkeeper here, has been investigated by Wen Renchang, and they all have verifiable alibi, which should have nothing to do with the case. What they said is also recorded in detail in the file. Chao Muyun asked again, just wanted Take a look to see if there are any missing details that others don't pay attention to.
There is nothing to gain from the confession, did the deceased sit in this position...
Chao Muyun pointed to the room facing the street on the third floor across the street, with a small half balcony extending out: "Who lives there?"
Not far from the window is Lanfang Pavilion. The wine shop is here, and I know it must be a bit inhumane and careful to bring customers or something, but the location of the restaurant is a little deeper, and what I can see is not Lanfang. It is not the main entrance of the pavilion, but its back alley.
The main entrance of Lanfang Pavilion faces the street, and the good scenery and decoration are all in front. There are only red gauze with slightly less decoration in the back alley, and the quieter rooms in comparison.Looking at the characteristics of a small amount of laundry in a row, it is not difficult to see that these rooms next to the back alley are probably the rooms where the girls rest on weekdays after they do not receive customers.
As for the seat where Wang Deye used to sit, he raised his head slightly, facing the street with two sides. It seemed to have a slightly larger sense of space and a slightly more ornate decoration. By contrast, it was the room with the best view in this row.
"Let me take a look..." The shopkeeper glanced sideways and smiled, "This is Miss Zhitan's room. This girl Zhitan is amazing. She is now twenty years old and has been receiving customers for six years. She has been prosperous for a long time. , has always been the top card in Lanfang Pavilion, and she hasn't been squeezed out by any little girl until now. Many big people in the capital are her guests..."
Girl Zhitan seems to be quite well-known in the market, and there are many people who talk about it, and the shopkeeper can't stop talking when she talks about it, which is quite interesting.
Chao Muyun was not in a hurry, after listening to his flattery, he said again: "Is there anything unusual about Lord Ye Wang's emotions or actions?"
"No," the shopkeeper shook his head. "After Mr. Wang's accident, the officials came to question him. Once in a while, we couldn't be less impressed. We didn't find anything unusual that night."
Chao Muyun asked questions while observing the scene, Ye Wugou did the same, even jumped on the roof and looked elsewhere.
There are rewards, but not many.
After turning around, the two looked at each other, and went to Lanfang Pavilion by the way.
The old bustard had blocked her from left to right, saying that the girls had been busy all night, and now they were resting, so they really didn't have the energy to deal with the questioning, as in the afternoon...
Before I finished speaking, I heard a gentle and charming female voice upstairs: "Everyone who comes is a guest, why should mother be in trouble?"
"Hey, are you awake? What time is it..."
"The medicine I took is too bitter, and I can't sleep anymore on the left and right. Please come up."
Only then did the bustard smile and express her annoyance, and invite the two of them to go upstairs.
Chao Muyun and Ye Wugou were invited to a room facing the street on the third floor. The environment was elegant and the space was not small. From tables, chairs, short couch to bed cabinets, everything was missing. Looking out of the window, you can see the wide river, and the scenery is also beautiful. excellent.
But after a little calculation in my mind, I knew that this was not what the shopkeeper said, the room Zhitan lived in in the back alley was a room used to entertain guests and make money.
Because it was daytime, the usual rest time, Zhi Tan didn't put on makeup, and her clothes were not gorgeous, but her hair was lightly tied up, with messy hair falling from her temples, giving her an extremely gentle beauty.
It is worthy of being the top brand, every move, every frown and smile is touching, beautiful to the extreme, there is no need for heavy makeup, and there is also the charm of plain makeup.
Holding the pot in her bare hands, she refills the tea for the two of them. The movements are so aesthetically pleasing, and even the sound of the tea water hitting the teacup is particularly clear and ethereal.
"The two of you don't seem like guests who came here to seek pleasure, looking for a little girl... Do you have something to ask?"
She held the lamp in both hands and handed it over to the two guests, her eyes were charming and her voice was soft and melodious.
Chao Muyun took the tea, and when she handed it to Ye Wugou, he glanced at him.
The winking eyes are like silk, the dimples are light and sweet, and there is a kind of straightforward frankness, as if curious about the mask on his face, and really want to see what the face underneath looks like.
There is no physical contact, no verbal hints, but curiosity itself is also a kind of seduction.
She is seducing Ye Wugou.
Ye Wugou didn't dodge like a tiger, after all, the girl didn't come close either, she lifted the fan lightly in her hand, took the cup of tea that was handed over, gently picked and avoided it, the tea cup had landed firmly on the table: "— —Miss Zhitan, be careful, women have thin skin, don't get burned."
While talking, he still glanced at Chao Muyun without any trace.
He is a famous man now, he can't play around like before, he will be misunderstood, absolutely not!
Zhitan also understood immediately, the other party's words were warning with cold killing intent.
She is good at tea art, and the newly brewed tea is hot, but after using the tea set continuously, washing, turning the cup, and passing it to the other party, it is not so hot, it may be slightly hot to the hand, and it will definitely not reach the point of scalding.
A woman's skin is thin... or is her fortune thin?
The other party was warning her not to make up her own mind, so as not to play with fire.
Zhitan smiled, and cut her hair with bare hands, covering up the embarrassment very naturally: "I'm lazy in dressing up every day, and I'm quite negligent. Seeing that you two have a gentleman's appearance, I don't think I mind being impolite."
"The beauty is in front, but it's elegant." Ye Wugou gently shook the fan in his hand, looking at Chao Muyun, "What do you think, Mr. Chao?"
Chao Muyun nodded slightly: "Miss Zhitan, don't be nervous, the two of us are here today, I just have a few questions to ask the girl."
Wen Xian knew the elegant meaning, and Zhitan knew that when others gave her enough face, she still spoke gently and softly, but her words and deeds were less charming: "My lord, please tell me."
Chao Muyun: "At the end of this spring, Wang Deye, the servant of the household department, slipped and fell into the river and drowned. Does the girl know about this?"
"So that's what happened," Zhitan covered her lips and smiled lightly, "There are people coming and going in the building, I shouldn't remember it, but I have been asked too many times, so I can't help but think about it again and again. Now I want to forget it, it's hard gone."
"He stumbled and fell into the river, did the girl see it?"
"Not at all," Zhitan drank tea with lowered eyes, "It was very busy that night, and most of the things I dealt with here were dignified people. After many times, and heard a lot of gossip, I know that Mr. Wang's death is disgraceful."
Ye Wugou: "What were you busy with that night, are there any guests related to officialdom?"
"This, your government has checked it, there should be a file record?"
Zhitan chuckled: "At that time, something seemed to have happened inside the Cao Gang, and there was also a problem with the transfer of the salt road. Many people wanted to grab the position of the transfer envoy, and they tried their best in private, such as the regular customers of my concubine, the sixth-rank official Li Cunying, that night was where he was spending money, entertaining Shan Yuling, the servant of the household department. The household department is in charge of money, grain and taxes, and the salt affairs are particularly tight. If you want to pierce it, you have to burn incense and worship Buddha... But you know, the transfer of officials is not just a matter of the household department, if the household department likes you, if the official department does not send officials, you still can't get in."
Chao Muyun didn't miss the deep meaning in the other party's expression: "That night, there were also people from the official department?"
"It's because we didn't invite that something happened," Zhitan smiled, "Li Cunying probably wanted to break down one by one, and invited them together, but worried that he couldn't handle it, so he invited Shan Yuling first, and didn't invite anyone from the official department. Hu Fumeng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, happened to be passing by that night, and he happened to see the feast and music, and he happened to listen to it, so he knew it was for the dispatch of the Salt Division."
She didn't say it too clearly, and there is no need to say this too clearly, Chao Muyun and Ye Wugou understood it.
The people below want to be officials, and they want to go out of their way. Everyone understands that who comes first and who comes last.
If you get stuck a little bit, things will be difficult for you afterwards.
Zhitan's voice was gentle: "Li Cunying didn't know that her luck was as good as her name, so she had to bite the bullet and invite Mr. Hu from the bureaucracy to come in and sit down. It's not unreasonable to tear at the door. Mr. Hu was not happy, so she came in and sat down for a while. After a while, the concubine collected the night's money, proudly helping Master Li, exhausting all possible means, very busy, but Master Hu was really in a bad mood, and finally had no choice but to break up unhappy."
Ye Wugou: "From what you mean, you didn't meet Wang Deye that night?"
Zhi Tan shook her head: "Of course not, I don't even have time to take a look at the river outside the window."
Ye Wugou: "But your room is facing his drinking seat in the restaurant."
"Winehouse?" Zhitan was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes, and smiled, "You are a bit joking, my concubine can go back to her room when she is resting during the day, and the business is just right this evening, so how can she not serve her?" A guest? Even if my concubine wants to rest, my mother won't let me."
Chao Muyun: "Business, is it possible to negotiate?"
"Business?"
"What Li Cunying wants to talk about."
"I don't think so," Zhitan thought for a while, and said, "Come to a place like ours to talk about things. It's more like a harmonious relationship before talking about things. The details will not be disclosed in front of us. Yes, but the atmosphere was so bad after that, Mr. Hu from the Ministry of Officials, Mr. Shan from the Ministry of Households all looked a bit down, Mr. Shan even scolded Li Cunying, vaguely mentioned something about the money, the concubine didn't hear clearly, They won't let the concubine listen clearly, but I guess, the conversation will fall apart in all likelihood."
Chao Muyun: "You didn't see Mr. Wang that night, and you are not familiar with Mr. Wang?"
Zhitan's smile had some meaning: "If you want to say that you are familiar with Mr. Wang, you probably have to ask this benefactor, Mr. Li Cunying. He seems to have a close relationship with Mr. Wang."
Chao Muyun: "The guests you entertained tonight are all in the room, have they never gone out?"
"How is it possible," Zhi Tan said, "This is both wine and tea. Even if you don't get drunk, you have to leave the banquet and go to the official room, right? The concubine also needs to touch up her makeup occasionally. It's really not always I have seen some adults."
Ye Wugou discovered the details again: "Where do you touch up your makeup?"
"Your guest is still suspicious of my concubine's status." Zhitan pointed to the room next door, smiling brightly, "Take up makeup and take a break. There is a room specially set up for girls in the building. I'm afraid that girls will relax when they go back to their own room, and don't want to go back. We're picking up the guests."
After asking a few more questions, Chao Muyun and Ye Wugou left Lanfang Pavilion.
"Have you..." Lu Jing was sparsely populated, and Ye Wugou looked at Chao Muyun, "Feel something?"
Chao Muyun glanced at him indifferently: "This Zhitan girl is charming and provocative, with good skills."
Ye Wugou: ...
Good skills... Are you talking about her, or are you talking about me?You noticed that woman's actions just now, didn't you?But I justly refused, you clearly saw it!
Unexpectedly, Chao Muyun's words were not finished yet, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes: "Master Ye seems to have seen many such people, and he has...a lot of experience in dealing with them?"
"Wow, no way," Ye Wugou was a little guilty when he was stared at by these clean and beautiful eyes. He used to attract bees and butterflies outside, and all kinds of sloppy things could not be discovered, although he really only saw a lot, Haven't practiced it before, "I've only seen people like you."
Chao Muyun: "Oh? What about a person like me...?"
"Good-looking, kind-hearted," Ye Wugou praised his sincerity at first, but then his tone changed, and peach blossoms appeared in his eyes, "Always miss me, miss me so much."
Chao Muyun: ...
You Cao Gang chiefs, are you all so shameless?
Ye Wugou was confident and confident: "Otherwise, how can you remember this kind of thing in your heart, and still come to ask out of curiosity?"
Maybe there is an attempt on him!
Zhao Muyun smiled.
Ye Wugou was immediately on guard, although the sick man had a good-looking smile, clean and clear, handsome temperament, obedient and obedient, sweet or sweet, and people who could seduce people blushed and heartbeat, but at this moment, when he smiled like this, it seemed a little...a bit irritating Fear?
Chao Muyun looked at him: "Why am I curious... You are so smart, why don't you guess it?"
After speaking, he turned around and left, simply and neatly.
Ye Wugou: ...
Maybe it was because the flowers were too fragrant, or maybe the wind was too hot. At this moment, his heart beat as fast as a drum.
The sick man teased him again!
If you don't have this kind of thinking, don't flirt, in case he takes it seriously and loses control... Is this sick man responsible!
"Wait...wait a minute," Chao Muyun felt that day by day, he was becoming less and less imposing in front of the sick man. He was not at all like the free and unrestrained gang leader before. He intentionally brought back a little image, and nodded his fan. Looking at Muyun's shoulder, he coughed, "If you're serious, will you get something?"
Chao Muyun nodded simply: "Yes, Miss Zhitan's words hinted that there seems to be a word of wealth in this matter."
As for the officialdom and the salt road, coupled with the secret participation of the Cao Gang, there is a very high possibility that this word of wealth is related to corruption and bribery.
However, it involves secrets in the officialdom, even if a brothel girl knew about it, she would not dare to say too much.
He looked at Ye Wugou: "Yan Dao often deals with your gang, you should be very familiar with it?"
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The officialdom and the Cao Gang are actually the same. It's just that the former is better at verbal pretentiousness, and the latter is more straightforward and brutal," Ye Wugou said slowly, "Money is a good thing , where there is movement, there must be a destination, and if there is, I may be able to find out."
Chao Muyun: "Although it's just a guess—but, please."
"You're still being polite to me?"
Ye Wugou shook the fan lightly in his hand, his smiling lips curled up slightly, and he looked suave and suave: "Tell me, how did this Wang Deye die? He clearly couldn't see the river, if he was so drunk that he was unconscious and crooked, the shopkeeper of the wine shop The buddy can't let him go like this. Anyway, people are not short of money. Just ask someone to wait and send it back. If you give someone a favor, you can get a reward for sending it back. Why not do it? If you are conscious and not drunk It’s amazing, how could you stumble and fall into the river?”
I can't explain it.
Chao Muyun nodded, this is where the doubt lies, the shopkeeper's words are also very clear, he feels a little drunk, but it is not impossible to leave.
Ye Wugou tapped the handle of his fan lightly on his palm: "If he killed him, what was his motive? He deliberately chose the day before leaving Beijing, because he didn't want him to build rivers?"
Chao Muyun: "As soon as the court order is issued, the matter cannot be changed. If this one is killed, there will be a second one on top. It is impossible to kill him."
It can only be delayed a little bit, but is this time important?
"Master Xiaochao, you're being careless," Ye Wugou raised Chao Muyun's hair with his fan, and brushed it against his nose seemingly without any frivolity, only flirtatious, "In the face of huge benefits, what's the point of killing someone?"
As long as the income is rich enough, one person can be killed, two people can be killed, and many people can be killed.
Huge benefits...
The ink in Chao Muyun's eyes surged, becoming more and more serious.
It takes money to build the river, and it also prevents others from making money. Once the river is repaired, the water transportation route must be changed. What about the money for this road?For a general team, the route will be changed. At most, the road is not familiar, and it needs to go twice more, or the cost will increase slightly. It is not difficult to control, but in case something is not very transparent, the secret cannot To outsiders, is this the only way to make money?
Then the matter in the middle is big.
Having seen the scene, and the person who should ask the question, the next destination is naturally the scene of the exhumation and autopsy.
The distance was a little far, but Ye Wugou's horse was fast, and it didn't take long to bring them here.
The progress of the scene was just right, officials and family members were present, the procedure ceremony was completed, and the coffin was lifted out, ready to move the corpse for a closer look.
It has been a few months since the end of spring, and the summer is hot, which is not conducive to the preservation of the corpse. Fortunately, the corpse is buried in the ground, separated by a slightly deep soil. It is certain that the decay is serious, but it does not mean that there is nothing. .
But things like corpses are either well-preserved or just a set of white bones. At most, they look uncomfortable and not too frightening. However, this kind of corpse is severely corrupted and not completely rotten, and the perception is extremely uncomfortable. .
There were even insects of unknown species crawling around on the body.
The onlookers subconsciously stayed away, and some ran to the side to vomit. Huai had never seen the corpse, but looked excited: "Not bad, there is something."
