The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But it is said that Dong Ming, the official of the Zhangzhou torture room, accused Jarvis of assassinating Tan Mo.Jarvis was startled: "Huh?"

Dong Ming said, "Does General Jia deny it?"

Jarvis said: "What do you recognize without thinking?"

Dong Mingnai made a bow: "Offended. General Jia only showed two flaws. First, the assassin left a black silk on the branch of the Tan Mansion. The black silk was soaked in spices. Who would soak the clothes of the man in the green forest?" Spice? Either it is a weird person, or it is to prevent dogs from following. The dog of the servant chased the tailor's house and could not find the assassin. There was silk ashes in the ash basin in front of the side hall, presumably the night clothes were burned .If you are a weirdo who loves incense, you don’t need to burn it. It must be to guard against petty officials.”

Jarvis said: "Although Master Dong's words are far-fetched, he will be more or less understandable in the end."

Dong Mingdao: "The silk night clothes are willing to be burned casually, which shows that the assassin is not a poor person. If it is the relatives and friends of the tailor who are willing to assassinate the magistrate for them now, but refused to help them in the early years, it is obviously unjustifiable. If the assassin has recently made a fortune It doesn't make sense. As the saying goes, you can't get rid of poverty after three years of being rich. The poor get rich and don't want brocade clothes to travel at night, and ordinary food and clothing are also unwilling to be extravagant. They are not relatives or friends of the tailor family, they just used their haunted name to cover up their identities."

Jarvis nodded and said, "The general understands."

Dong Ming said: "Master Tan is dead now, so the petty official must be suspicious of General Jia's command. In the past few days, the petty official has visited flower houses, rouge shops and paper workshops all over the city, but no one from your army has gone to the flower house. He took out the "SHIELD" paper, "Two paper mills and six rouge shops recognized it. This paper and the rouge on it are all from Taiwan. The rouge is rich and very popular with fans; But the paper is very good and top-grade paper. It’s just that there are many noble soldiers, and the small officials don’t know who the assassin is. Thinking carefully about what General Jia said a few days ago, there is still a loophole.”

Jarvis smiled slightly: "Please tell me."

Dong Mingdao: "The little official said that the assassin must be a man with a similar body shape to the general. The general immediately said, I'm afraid he has married a daughter-in-law. Rouge is a thing, and women can use it. The general's mother, sister and your army's Lin Junshi Probably all of them. General Jia is a thoughtful person. When an ordinary thoughtful person hears about 'Rouge', he would probably think that the assassin has a female relative at home, or has a lover outside. How could he think that the assassin has married a wife? Unless the general has scruples I want to get rid of myself - General Jia is not married yet."

Jarvis couldn't help but laugh: "I'm afraid Mr. Dong has misunderstood. The last general has been away from home for many years, and he rarely sees his parents and sisters. He is used to going to and from the military camp. The only men in the army who can get rouge are those who have already married."

Dong Ming became more and more suspicious that it was him.Jarvis didn't refute him at first, but now he abandons his roots and describes the branches. The first explanation is not why he didn't kill Tan Mo, but "Rouge".

Jarvis sighed softly and said, "To tell the truth, we only planned to rest in Zhangzhou for two or three days before leaving. At the end of the day, we happened to see a person on the street, and became suspicious, so we stayed in Guicheng for a long time. After a few days, I want to find out what happened to this person."

Dong Ming asked, "Who?"

"Li Qizhi."

Dong Ming was startled: "Mr. Li?"

Jarvis wondered, "Didn't he change his name?"

Dong Ming said, "No. Does General Jia recognize him?"

Jarvis said: "The last general made friends with brother Li when he was studying in Beijing in the early years, but after their family got into trouble with his brother, they lost contact with him." He said seriously, "I think the officials in Zhangzhou don't know who Li Qizhi is. Nephew of King Jin."

Dong Ming was slightly taken aback: "Nephew of King Jin?"

"It's still the eldest son of the family, and he is the most outstanding child of the Li family. He has a good reputation in Beijing. Why did he come to Fujian instead of going to Jin to help? If it is said that the king of Jin wants to seek Fujian, why didn't he send him? Going to the Governor Huang's side, but in Zhangzhou?" Jarvis smiled lightly, "Let's not say that the last general has no grievances with Tan Daren, so why kill him; even if he wants to kill him, he can kill him on the day he enters the city. Wei, and to vent out their anger for the people of Zhangzhou. It’s just that the last general still doesn’t like him, and Li Qizhi has more weight than him.”

Dong Mingdao: "The little official knew that Mr. Li must come from a famous family, but he didn't expect it to be on the head of the King of Jin. He has never mentioned it before." Nai cupped his hands and said, "The little official is still suspicious, so go and check."

Jarvis smiled slightly, and clasped his fists together and said, "Master Dong," he paused immediately, thought for a while, and said, "Some things are not suitable for a general to say, but for a military advisor. Don't shirk, my lord."

Dong Ming's eyes moved, and he made a bow: "I have long admired Lin's military master's reputation, and I am very fortunate."

Jarvis also bowed back, got on his horse, and led his soldiers away.

Three days later, someone sent Dong Ming a post to invite him to drink tea, and it turned out to be Jia Jun's military adviser surnamed Lin.Dong Ming arrived at the tea house according to the time, and saw Jarvis and a scholar dressed as women waiting, he hurriedly bowed to each other: "General Jia, I think this is Junshi Lin." This Junshi Lin is just like what Tan Mo said, although he is beautiful Wushuang, with an air of demeanor, conceals her appearance.

Jia Lin and the two stood up to return the salute, and ordered the shop to serve tea, Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Master Dong said last time that he suspected that General Jia was an assassin, did you find any evidence?"

Dong Ming smiled wryly, "No. General Jia is clean."

Jarvis said: "Actually, Mr. Dong is just guessing, trying to cheat the last general."

Dong Ming shook his head and said: "One flaw is enough, the little official knows that the general did it. It's just that he really doesn't know much about the general, so he can't guess the reason; and he can't find any evidence." Nai clasped his hands and said, "There is no evidence anyway, the general Just tell the little official the truth."

Jarvis said: "Master Dong, the general and Master Tan have never met each other in the end, it has nothing to do with it."

Dong Ming looked at Chazhanzi with lowered eyebrows and said, "It's fine if you don't say anything, I just guess slowly."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "There are so many things in the world, how difficult it is to just rely on guesswork. I have heard people say that without investigation, there is no right to speak. Since Mr. Dong can't guess what happened, why don't we go to the Taiwan government together and spend more time with General Jia?" Can Bao Qi guess the date?"

Dong Ming was stunned: "Junshi Lin admits this?"

"No." Daiyu said, "This military adviser is setting a hook for Mr. Dong to lure you across the sea. Talents like Mr. Dong are exactly what the Taiwan government wants. Zhangzhou is full of officials like that. If you want to come to Dong Your Excellency is not satisfied. Jia Lian, the prefect of Taiwan, is a hands-off shopkeeper. First, he is not greedy for money—his family is extremely rich. Everyone handles their own affairs."

Dong Ming was a little startled when he heard her say "Leading you across the sea", and then his face was expressionless, and finally he couldn't help but jump when he heard "a layman is an expert".Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Master Dong is already tempted."

Dong Ming lowered his eyes and said: "The military master is kind and the little official appreciates it. The little official doesn't have much ambition, just enough food and clothing."

Lin Daiyu said: "General Jia just arrived in Zhangzhou on the first day. He met all kinds of officials at the banquet. When he came back, he only mentioned Mr. Dong. He said that his expression was clear, and he didn't seem to be in the same boat as others. Mr. Dong, I just want to ask a question. , you have been an official in Zhangzhou for many years, are you comfortable and happy?"

Dong Ming looked at the two of them: "Did you two kill Master Tan because of this?"

Daiyu said: "Master Dong, think about it for yourself. Today there is a stupid official who is pressing on the head of the talent we want to pry away; is it better to let the stupid official keep him restrained, or to kill the stupid official?" I know that our army came to Fujian this time to show off our military power and compete for population with Fujian. Therefore, we have not touched half of the corrupt officials in Fujian. With Mr. Tan, many people who cannot survive in Zhangzhou will cross the sea. Taiwan Government Everything is lacking, but population is the most lacking. With population, everything is easy to handle.”

Dong Ming frowned.According to this, there is no need for them to kill Tan Mo.It's just that in the past few days he has secretly watched the generals and generals in their camp, and there is no second one who was raised in a wealthy family in their eating and behavior; only Jarvis has good etiquette.He also heard from Li Qizhi that he grew up in the Rongguo Mansion and was extremely favored by Jia She, and his father was also the most important treasurer of the big house in the Rongguo Mansion.Who else would be willing to burn a silk night gown besides him?

Daiyu said again: "As the old saying goes, it is not a day's cold to freeze three feet. Now that Mr. Tan is dead, it is difficult for the whole Zhangzhou to change much. Although the Taiwan government is small, it can make Mr. Dong show his talents. And it can Help Master Dong to write a book and pass on his learning to future generations."

Dong Ming's eyes widened immediately.Although it took only a moment to put it back, Jarvis and Lin Daiyu could see it clearly, and they looked at each other and smiled.Dong Ming also knew that the two of them had seen clearly, so he was a little embarrassed, and said: "Since the small official has checked the wrong person, how can the military adviser still look up to the small official?"

Daiyu said: "Master Dong has several advantages. First, he is careful; second, he seeks evidence; third, he is bold. Those who are in the business of Master Dong dare to suspect a person who seems to be completely impossible to commit a crime and test him. It is extremely rare. However, as a petty official, Mr. Dong has little knowledge of the affairs of the world, and it is a pity that Mr. Dong's skills are restricted by his vision. If Mr. Dong's knowledge can be more extensive, the investigation of this case will probably not be wrong."

Dong Mingnai bowed and said, "Ask Master Lin for advice."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "I can't figure it out at this moment. Today, the world is divided and the kings are in conflict. SHIELD is an outsider, and they will do anything for money. Zhangzhou is in the west of Fujian, near Lingnan, and also near Taiwan. Tan Mo is a faint official. He was assassinated. Jarvis was stationed in the Taiwan government when he was assassinated. His immediate boss Huang Wengang asked us, General Cheng, to invite us to Chengtian Mansion for tea. Many things are entangled in one place, let’s see Who will benefit after Tan Mo's death."

She spoke so generously that Dong Ming couldn't help but suspect that he had made a mistake.

Lin Daiyu said again: "By the way, if Mr. Dong is willing to come to the Taiwan government, there is another advantage. There is no one who can't be moved. If you investigate the case, it will not hinder you even if you find Jia She."

Jarvis laughed and said, "The last general thought of another one. If Mr. Dong thinks that there are few interesting cases in the Taiwan government, you can go and investigate any strange unsolved cases in other countries."

Dong Ming smiled wryly and said, "The two digging holes don't even mention high-ranking officials and high salaries?"

Lin Daiyu was stunned: "Need to say? It is obvious that the Rongguo Mansion is not short of money and future."

Jarvis hurriedly said: "Master Dong, don't mention the money, you must be worthy of Mr. Dong's talent and learning; as for the future, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment is also promising."

Dong Ming said: "Why don't you publish the book?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Master Dong is too temperamental to be a minister, so you can be a technician with peace of mind."

Dong Ming laughed for a moment, stood up and said, "The little official is sincerely moved. This is not a small matter, can I allow the little official to think about it for a few days?"

Daiyu hurriedly said, "Naturally."

Dong Ming drank the remaining half cup of tea and said goodbye.Daiyu stayed in the room waiting, and Jarvis personally sent Dong Ming out of the teahouse.

When he came back, he asked with a smile, "Look, military adviser, can this be done?"

Daiyu said: "It has become seven points. In his line of work, the most embarrassing thing is to find out the murderer, but because of the person's status, there is nothing he can do. Sooner or later he stays in Zhangzhou and will be a thorn in the side of the other officials. The thorn in the flesh, why bother to come; why not come to our island, just to take care of those messy people under my uncle. Anyway, there is Lian's second brother backing me, so why not be afraid."

Jarvis laughed and said, "Second brother Lian asked us to find a criminal for him who has some skills and has nothing to do with the Taiwan government or the capital. Seeing that we are about to go back and haven't found him yet, I feel a little anxious .I don’t want to meet one here, but didn’t God give it to me?”

Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "How could he be suspicious of you? He won't touch you anyway."

Jarvis shook his head and said, "He doesn't have any other clues, he just stared at the silk night clothes. After all, he is a person from a small place with little knowledge." Nai tsk said, "In the early years, the wise king went to S.H.I.E.L.D. to buy one. The news is 3000 taels of silver!" Nai called someone to pay the bill, and led his soldiers to protect their military division and left.

After returning to the camp for a while, Daiyu asked, "How do you know someone is eavesdropping? Don't let us act for the gods."

Jarvis said: "I chose that teahouse. As soon as I went in, I knew that they had installed copper pipes for eavesdropping in the house - my brother is the steward of Yihong Courtyard, and that Yihong Courtyard also has them. The teahouse It was opened by Tan Mo's in-laws. Let's treat Dong Ming to tea, no one is eavesdropping."

Daiyu glanced at him again: "Why are night clothes made of silk? The general is so rich."

Jarvis said: "It's easy, it's convenient for marching." Lin Daiyu burst out laughing.The two of them looked at each other again, and couldn't help laughing for a long time.

Daiyu asked: "I have stayed here for a long time, when do you think I will leave?"

Jarvis said: "Wait a little longer, let's see if Mr. Dong can find out about Li Qizhi for us." Daiyu smiled.

Jarvis guessed correctly, today they were sitting in the elegant room having tea, but there were actually half of the room sitting next door, the leader was Li Qizhi, and Tan Mozhi's fourth son and third son-in-law.As the saying goes, if you want to know your innermost feelings, but listen to what is behind your back.The Tan family had never been suspicious of people from the Taiwan government, and the two of them exchanged letters after the last few words.

Li Qizhi sighed: "Jarvis is a gentleman. Dong Ming suspected that he was an assassin, so he actually urged Dong Ming to go to Taiwan." He looked at the Tan family members, and smiled bitterly in his heart: Just now what Junshi Lin said has already been said. It hit their hearts, the people in Zhangzhou really don't like Dong Ming very much.

Sure enough, I only heard Uncle Tan say: "Since there is a person under Jia Amnesty in the Taiwan government who has committed misdeeds, if Master Jia Lian comes to ask for this person, we will not be able to refuse to give it."

Li Qizhi opened his mouth, swallowed again, and sighed softly.Don't be afraid of anyone, but if it is found out, it can be punished, which is not possible in the state of Jin.
