The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Liang Jiang's two officials conducted an overnight autopsy.Jiang Wuzuo looked at the corpse of the Xianyang oiran Bailan for a long time and said, "How did she become an oiran with such a look?"

Zhu Tong said: "Death is naturally different from life. You will look much better when you are alive. Isn't the oiran still a performer?"

Jiang Wu said: "The subordinate said that when she was alive, she looked mediocre. Even if she is proficient in playing, playing and singing, she should not be an oiran. Ordinary famous fans are better-looking than her." He looked at the corpse again, as if Looking at a living person, "and fat. There is no such fat oiran."

Liu Shu watched from the side, muttering, "Xia Kui is not Xia Kui, and the oiran is not the oiran."

Zhu Tong frowned: "She is from Xianyang. The person who came to ask for the body may not be reliable. Tomorrow I have to go to Xianyang to find her escort." He sighed, "I don't know who is behind the scenes and how many layers are behind the scenes. Today I thought Hurry up and catch them off guard, it doesn't seem easy."

King Qin and several adults also frowned.Mr. Chen said: "The family of that surnamed Bi can go and check?"

Zhu Wei said: "I have already sent people away. It's just that they must have already cleaned up everything, so it's hard to find any useful clues."

The room was silent for a moment, except for the voices of the two forensic autopsies.After a long time, Liu Shu suddenly said: "Would you like to go to Hualou to try your luck?" Everyone was stunned.He explained, "Xianyang and Chang'an are so close, there must be a lot of population exchanges. Those who love to visit flower houses in Xianyang must also love to visit Chang'an flower houses. Hehe, it's time for flower houses to open. Send some policemen to change Ordinary customers' clothes, go to a few bigger kilns and yell, who has seen Bailan, the oiran of Baihualou in Xianyang?"

Zhu Tong nodded and said: "You can give it a try." Then he sent a few clever yamen servants to several famous brothels in the city.

The two writers re-examined the body and found that the woman had a thin callus on her right hand, presumably she was a literate person.I can't see anything else.It's been too long, and it's no longer possible to find out the exact time of death.

After a while, someone came in from outside and said: "A brother brought Miss Mei from Chunfeng Tower here."

Zhu Tong and Liu Shu looked at each other unconsciously.Liu Shu said: "Could it be that the fans know each other well?" Zhu Tong ordered them to come in.

That eyebrow girl hurried in wearing a big cloak, and bowed to Zhu Wei with tears in her eyes: "Master Zhu, my family and Sister Bai Lan are close friends of literature and ink. Although we have never met, we have known each other for more than half a year. I heard that something happened to her. , the servant wants to see her."

Zhu Wei pointed to the female corpse and said, "That's Miss Bailan."

Miss Mei wiped her tears with a handkerchief, approached the female corpse, and called out "sister", tears rolled down like broken beads in an instant.After crying for a while, she suddenly stopped: "This... is it really Miss Bai Lan?"

Zhu Tong moved his body: "Do you recognize it?"

Girl Mei shook her head: "I've never seen it before. But...she doesn't have pierced ears?"

Zhu Tong ran to the female corpse in two steps and took a closer look: Sure enough, there are no pierced ears!Quickly said: "Could it be that she refuses to have her ears pierced?"

Girl Mei said decisively: "No matter what the background is, anyone who enters our place has their ears pierced. Although I have never seen Sister Bai Lan, this woman is definitely not a person in the building. Uncle Zhu just trust me. "

Zhu Tong thought: "Ordinary women also have their ears pierced. Is there anyone who doesn't?"

"The slave family doesn't know."

Zhu Tong made a bow to her: "Thank you for your suggestion, Miss."

Mei girl smiled and said: "So, maybe Bai Lan is still alive?"

"It's not guaranteed either."

Girl Mei clasped her palms together and said aloud to the Buddha, then left.Zhu Wei ordered the artist to paint a portrait of the fake Bai Lan.

The jailer came in and said, "My lord, the kid who confessed just now yelled in the cell, saying that you promised to let him go back."

Zhu Wei laughed and said, "I forgot about him." Then he ordered the man to go to the lobby.Nai said to the King of Qin, "Your Majesty, I want to test the power of the courtyard guard upstairs in the Fuyun Hall." The King of Qin nodded.

Everyone returned to the courtroom.Not long after, the thug in brocade clothes also brought up.Zhu Wei ordered to loosen his iron chains and shackles, pointed to Liu Shu and said, "It's easy to let you go. You only have to fight with my nephew once, and he will let you go if you win."

The nurse's eyes lit up: "Really?!"

"really."

The nurse narrowed his eyes at Liu Shu for a moment, Cheng Zhu cupped his fists in his chest and said, "Please, my lord."

Liu Shu returned the gift, and the two fought together.Both of these two are highly skilled in martial arts, they played chess in an instant and met their opponents and met their opponents, and it was impossible to tell the winner for a long time.Zhu Wei took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and ordered the two to stop.Both of them still had something to say, staring at each other.

Zhu Wei said: "It's getting late. Aren't you afraid that I will know? Let's go."

The Jinyi Nursing House was taken aback: "My lord, let me go?"

"This officer keeps his word."

The nursing home laughed twice, and said to Liu Shu: "Unfortunately, there is no winner. The mountains are high and the water is far away, we will never see each other again!" He ran away.

Zhu Wei naturally made people follow him secretly.Unexpectedly, after a while, the arrester came back, and said dejectedly: "My lord, that man ran too fast, and the villain lost him."

Liu Shu proudly said: "It doesn't matter if you lose your follower, I know which family he belongs to."

Everyone was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Which one?"

Liu Shu said: "The Gao family." Everyone was taken aback.Liu Shudao, "When he was fighting with me just now, he was afraid that someone would recognize his family's kung fu, so he deliberately used a set of Jia's boxing created by Rong Guogong Jia Daishan." He said twice, "He thinks no one recognizes it? Recognize! The Gao family and the Jia family are related by marriage, and Jia Cong is very generous, he doesn't care about teaching Jia's boxing to his friends, let alone his brother-in-law. Apart from the Gao's, who else in Chang'an can learn Jia's boxing?"

Everyone looked at each other for a long time.Zhu Wei stroked his beard and said, "The Gao family has strict rules, and they are very strict with their children. No wonder he is not afraid of anything other than his family knowing." He thought for a while, "Nephew Liu Xian, are you tired?"

"It's good. Is there any order for uncle?"

"Excuse me for another martial arts competition." Zhu Wei said, "I want to try it out, is it just this kid from the Gao family who is strong in martial arts, or all the Jinyi thugs are strong in martial arts." Liu Shu readily agreed.

So he casually brought another Jinyi Nursing Academy to fight Liu Shu, and he was indeed a master.Zhu Tong praised: "No wonder the ones upstairs are wearing brocade clothes."

After sending this person back to prison, Liu Shu said, "It's the way of the barracks. This is also a general's son." Zhu Wei nodded slowly.

There were hardly any other clues at night, and the rest was to slowly interrogate people from Fuyuntang and Bi's family.Today, I haven't lived in peace from afternoon to evening, so everyone dispersed for the time being.King Qin hesitated for a moment, and stuffed the list of gamblers in the Floating Cloud Hall into his sleeve. He didn't tell his uncle that his cousin's name was in it, nor did he tell Lord Chen that his son and staff were in it.Look at that little appearance, he must not be able to sleep.

Zhu Tong returned to the courtyard, hurriedly told his daughter-in-law about the matter, and organized his thoughts by the way.Hearing what Miss Mei said, Liu Jing immediately said: "Women who become monks don't have their ears pierced." Zhu Tong was startled.Liu Jing said, "Didn't I be an aunt for a while back then? I lived in a nunnery, and there were also Taoist nuns who came to visit. But all the nuns and nuns who became monks when they were young did not have pierced ears—they did not wear earrings or pendants. very?"

Zhu Tong clapped his hands and said, "That makes sense! Ah Jing, how do you distinguish between nuns and Taoists?"

Liu Jing thought for a while and said, "The nun has ring scars on her head."

Zhu Tong didn't care that he had just returned to the mansion, and immediately returned to the yamen.Together with Wu Zuo, he unwrapped the woman's bun and saw that there were indeed several ring scars.After dismantling the bun, it was discovered that the woman's hair was not long, only half of his daughter-in-law's hair.Zhu Tong nodded: This must be an aunt who has just returned to vulgarity.

Going back again, I saw Liu Shu talking to Liu Jing gesticulating.Seeing him come back, both siblings said, "Here we are! We are preparing to send a telegram to the capital."

Zhu Tong pulled out the chair and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all, Fang said: "I have a rough idea."

Liu Shu immediately shouted, "Why didn't you just say that!"

Zhu Tong smiled and said, "How can I say that just now!" Nai Zheng said, "The first person is Qiu Xingzheng. Send a telegram to the capital, so that SHIELD can easily find out which prince has ambitions to seize Qin." He added Drink a cup of tea.

Liu Shu shot the case: "Hurry up and finish!"

Zhu Tong said: "If we hadn't happened to stroll over there today, Qiu Xingzheng would have led the photographer to take many tragic photos of Xia Kui's murder scene. If there was no reminder from the elder brother, King Qin would naturally not know that 'the photos should be taken by Zuo Zuo'" Waiting for a small matter. At that time, Qiu Xing will be talking in front of the second master Yu, coaxing the second master Yu and the prince to add embellishment to the description, and then use the photo to show his face in front of the prince, and show his talents by the way. Difficult. Naturally, he will not say it immediately when he has an idea like me. He just investigates slowly, and finally finds out through hard work: Fuyuntang not only does not pay taxes, but is also a place where officials and businessmen collude and openly bribes. According to today and that The list of gamblers is messed up in Qin's officialdom."

The corner of Liu Shu's mouth twitched: "I also invited a group of generals to be thugs."

Zhu Tong went on to say: "Both civil and military classes are in chaos. Fuyuntang is just an introduction. I don't know how many people have to be dismissed in this case. The power is vacated. Judging from the time when Qiu Xingzheng arrived in Chang'an, which prince should see Yan?" The Federation of Zhao and other countries has been inspired and intends to follow suit."

Liu Shu hadn't thought of this episode before, and was taken aback.After a long time, he suddenly scolded: "I know why Jia Cong insisted on me coming to Qin. I just said, how can he have no one else?"

Zhu Tong laughed and said, "You just understand?"

Liu Jing wondered, "Isn't it because you two are relatives?"

"No." Zhu Tong said, "My brother-in-law is someone who came here, and that guy is counting on my brother-in-law to persuade King Qin to join the gang. Disputes in the world are never unreasonable. You don't provoke others, but there are always many people who want to provoke you." Liu Shu snorted heavily .

Liu Jing hurriedly interrupted: "Where's Mr. Bi?"

Zhu Tong said: "Let's push it back. It is known that Xia Kui was arranged to come out of prison, and Qiu Xing took a little bit to take pictures. It can be seen that Qiu Xingzheng is very clear when Xia Kui will commit murder. Moving forward Push, Qiu Xingzheng is in the same group as the one who arranged for Xia Kui to escape from prison."

Liu Jing said: "Qiu Xingzheng is still very aware of Xia Kui's martial arts,"

Zhu Tong nodded again and again: "That's right! Qiu Xingzheng not only knows Xia Kui's martial arts, but also knows the martial arts of the eleven ordinary guards. He knows that Xia Kui's skills are much better than them." He clapped his hands, "Qiu Xingzheng and Mr. Bi are in the same group. The person who died in Bi's mansion was not Mr. Bi, but probably a double."

"Wait a minute!" Liu Shu couldn't make up his mind, "Why are they two together?"

Liu Jing said: "Xia Kui was chosen by Mr. Bi. He has a rough temper, has been a bodyguard, and has high martial arts skills. The eleven dead nurses were also selected in advance, and their martial arts were much inferior to Xia Kui. First, use money to buy them off." Eleven, it’s all right. Then let Xia Kui ask all the nurses who would like to go to Xianyang with him to pick up the goods, and the eleven rushed to go. After that, Xia Kui got drunk and sent him off in Bi Mansion. Go home and slip half of a jade pendant into his house. After that, the night watchmen will come and arrest him before he sobers up."

Seeing that Liu Shu still didn't understand, Zhu Tong said, "Qiu Xingzheng wants to take those photos, so he has to arrange all of the above."

Liu Jing said: "Then Fuyun Pavilion also belongs to them?"

Zhu Tong said: "Naturally."

"Why give up your pocketbook?"

"Where is their money bag? There is clearly a rightful owner behind the scenes, and they only get a few salaries. With Mr. Bi helping the village, Qiu Xingzheng can't find out who the rightful owner is? What a great contribution!" Zhu Tong smiled slightly , "Master Bi is a serious seller seeking glory."

Liu Jing nodded, and glanced at her man: "They did it in such a hurry, and Xia Kuina's matter was very inconsiderate. Could it be that King Qin sent people to persuade you to be an official recently? Given your previous experience and uncle's official position, it will be difficult for Qiu Xingzheng to succeed."

Zhu Tong smiled and said, "Maybe that's the case."

Liu Jing also laughed and said, "Seriously, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind."

Zhu Tong said: "The next question: why do you want to kill a sister-in-law and pretend to be an oiran?"

Liu Jing interjected: "That aunt also deliberately grew her hair for a while."

It was Liu Shu's turn to speak: "Also, Xia Kui encountered robbers twice on the way back to Chang'an from Xianyang to pick up the goods."

"That's right. If it's just to send Xia Kui to the cell, don't use those two robbers." Zhu Tong thought, "Unless they are real robbers."

After being silent for a long time, Liu Shu suddenly said: "I have a solution! We can investigate the origin of that aunt."

Zhu Tong and his wife asked at the same time: "What method?"

Liu Shudao: "That Qiu Xingzheng made so much effort to bring about a bloody case in the downtown area of ​​Chang'an City, just because the case was big enough, too big to be covered by Fuyun Hall, and so big that the king of Qin had to investigate the case strictly. They could have killed one of them. The real fan came to frame Xia Kui and caused a series of incidents. But they put in an aunt. It took us a lot of effort to investigate because we didn't know the truth. Qiu Xingzheng knows the basics, so it will be easy for him to investigate. The aunt probably Like Floating Cloud Hall, it is also an introduction to attract the king of Qin to investigate illegal things." He shook his head triumphantly, "Since we want to seize Qin, we must eradicate Qin's original forces one by one. Let's just investigate Floating Cloud Hall first. .In the end, if there is someone who is not implicated in Fuyuntang and has great influence in Qin State, the aunt's origin must be among them."

Zhu Tong and Liu Jing looked at each other and applauded together: "Brother, you can judge! We both admire you very much."

Liu Shu became more and more proud, cupped his hands and said, "It's just a few trivial things."

Liu Jing gave him a sideways glance: "We'll check again at that time, it's already dawn!"
