"This woman is really evil-hearted!"
Di Jin glanced at Mrs. Qin coldly.
As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also kind. Most people feel somewhat regretful when they reach this point, but Qin's words now sound like he is blessing his concubine, but in fact he wishes her to die.
Madam Hu was a concubine, with a low status and no right to support her, so she would not have the right to inherit the family's property, unless she could gain the support of other clan relatives, adopt the Nine Little Madam, and obtain a small portion of the inheritance in her name.
But now that Mrs. Qin shouted out this, this possibility was completely cut off. Dong Siniang, who had been pressing her before, changed her expression, and the servants around her also had their eyes flickering.
With such a huge profit, how many people are eyeing it, how can I allow my concubine to become the final winner?
"Nonsense! What qualifications does that bitch have to inherit my Liu family's property?"
Sure enough, roars came from outside the courtyard.
Not for a moment did he feel sad about his nephew's murder of his father. Immediately rushing to the scene were brothers competing for the family property.
Liu Congge and Liu Congyi walked in side by side and glared at Mrs. Qin fiercely. The latter even yelled: "You bitch, you committed adultery and killed your husband, how dare you speak so loudly here? Where are the officials from the Kaifeng government, why don't you take her away?" , deal with it as soon as possible!"
Wang Boyang looked at the two brothers who only cared about property and seemed to have no idea how bad Liu's reputation would be in the future. He shook his head and was too lazy to talk to such people. He waved his hand: "Put the criminal in custody." Get down!"
Mrs. Qin closed her mouth and was indifferently dragged down by two government officials. Liu Yongnian was a young man after all. When he was put on the wooden shackles, he seemed to realize what he was about to face, and his whole body trembled: "Mother... mother …”
Di Jin looked at the equally frightened Ninth Lady and sighed softly.
This child is the most pitiful, and judging from the Liu family's demeanor, the suffering has just begun. But as an outsider, he can't do anything but whisper a few words to Lu Andao.
Lu Andao nodded, came to Liu Congde, and said calmly: "The Queen Mother is kind and will not let the real culprit go, nor will she wrong the innocent. The ninth lady has nothing to do with this case. As elders, you must take good care of her. Don't let her go." Liu Chongban’s orphan has been wronged!”
In the past, Liu Congde, a small official in Kaifeng Prefecture, would not have paid attention to him at all. He would have been shorter than Chen Yaozi when he came to see him personally.
But when this case came out, he also knew that the status of the Liu family was no longer what it used to be. In addition, he urgently hoped that the other party would leave as soon as possible, so he promised: "Please rest assured, Mr. Lu, we will treat the ninth lady well, absolutely as before." !”
Lu Andao secretly shook his head, and Di Jin also felt that he had done his best to be benevolent and left with everyone in the Kaifeng government office.
But before leaving the yard, I heard servants hurriedly rushing to report, and then Liu Congyi’s loud voice could not be suppressed: "Then the concubine has run away? She must have taken away my Liu family’s money, hurry up! Chase her!" return!!"
"If Madam Hu really ran away, she would have escaped from the devil's cave..."
Compared with others who were indifferent to the fate of a concubine, Di Jin felt that it was a human life after all. After a pause, he walked out slightly briskly.
Just after leaving the mansion, I saw a group of scholars standing in the street not far away.
Seeing him step out, those eyes were already staring at him, but when Qin and Liu Yongnian were escorted out, there was another commotion.
Wang Yaochen was a little surprised: "This Di Shilin came forward and really solved the case?"
The eyes of Han Qi and Wen Yanbo fell on the prisoner for the first time. The former nodded slightly, showing an expression that was true, and the latter directly rebuked: "The piano and the harp are harmonious, and family affairs are praised. If arrogance lasts for a long time, disaster will inevitably come. Mr. Liu does not practice virtue, so the murderer must be a relative!"
Han Qi was a little helpless. This friend always spoke freely, and that was the truth. However, such words were not something people like them could say casually. It would be better to wait until they passed the imperial examination and passed the official post before making an evaluation.
Wen Yanbo added: "Look at Di Shilin, even the judge of the Kaifeng government office saluted him and thanked him. It seems that he really contributed the most to this case!"
Not to mention that Chen Yaozi was watching behind him, the hot-tempered boss obviously favored this young hero. Even without this relationship, Wang Boyang and Lu Andao could not deny the real hero of the case.
Fortunately, the Kaifeng government office also participated in the whole process and played an important role. Both parties were able to explain something, and everyone was happy. They would not be stingy with their gestures, and they all handed over their hands: "Thank you Di Langjun for your help in solving this important case. Thank you for your help." Such a great talent, he will be named in the capital one day!"
Di Jin returned the favor humbly: "If the Kaifeng government office had not tried its best to arrest the murderer, the public case written by the student would have suffered unjust injustice. Jin Ming feels this from the bottom of his heart and does not dare to be greedy for vanity!"
"Ha ha!"
Seeing the harmony there, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere in the Imperial College suddenly became bad.
However, a handsome but hateful face came close to him. Gongsun Ce unfolded the folding fan and opened it leisurely: "I told you before, don't be anxious first. What now? The case is solved, Brother Shilin has free time, Shall I bring you all forward to greet you?"
The faces of all the students in the Imperial College turned pale and turned to leave.
Now that the other party is at its most powerful, stepping forward rashly is tantamount to humiliating oneself. Even Wang Yaochen, who thought about his talent, shook his head and chose to leave.
When Wen Yanbo left, he whispered: "You always think that I speak arrogant words and easily get into trouble. How do I compare to Gongsun Mingyuan?"

Han Qi smiled bitterly.
"Don't leave, everyone!"
Gongsun Ce still pretended to hold back a few words, and then he turned around with satisfaction, came to Di Jin, and cupped his hands with a smile: "Shi Lin, you are lucky to have lived up to your fate! Have you seen the ugly faces of the people in the Imperial College? It's really fun! "
Di Jin sighed secretly and didn't hear half of what Di Xiangling said. He smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you Mingyuan for rescuing me, but..."
"Don't! I don't want to hear what's coming next!" Gongsun Ce interrupted directly, waved his hand and said: "Shi Lin, you know me, but even without this matter, I wouldn't be able to get together with those students from the Imperial College. , They all study all day long, but they don’t know how to apply what they have learned, but they still look down on people who do hard work, and they are full of sourness!”
Di Jin smiled bitterly.
What can students do if they don’t study? Not everyone can encounter a death case in the academy...
Regardless of the Imperial College, now that the case has been solved, no matter how unhappy these students are, their reputation has completely changed. Di bowed and said sincerely: "This case was successfully solved, thank you Mingyuan for your help!"
"This time I was obstructed by all parties, but I couldn't really help. It's a pity!"
Gongsun Ce sighed, feeling a little depressed, and then paused slightly: "There is something that I feel is a bit strange. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"
Di Jin's eyes flickered: "Is it related to the case?"
Gongsun Ce's expression became solemn, he nodded and said, "It's related to the case!"
Di Jin laughed: "Is Mingyuan testing me? Since it is related to the case, if I don't let you say it because the murderer has been arrested at this time, then our friend will have done it..."
Gongsun Ce's solemn expression relaxed and he smiled: "As expected of Di Shilin, I couldn't scare you!"
Di Jin felt a little ashamed. He knew very well that Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng, who he had not yet met, were people who could risk everything for the truth, but he was not.
There is no doubt that the real culprits in this case are Qin and Liu Yongnian. The motives, methods, witnesses, and even the murder weapon originally intended to frame Madam Hu were all found in the hands of the maid Jin Niang. Such irrefutable evidence leaves no room for sophistry. .
Because of this confidence, he did not hesitate. Otherwise, he would really hesitate or even weigh it. After all, there was more than just a murder behind this case.
Now he asked easily: "You haven't said anything yet?"
Gongsun Ce said: "It's not a big deal. Doctor Wen suddenly surrendered, which was quite strange. So I went to the prison to meet him. Through conversation, I found that this man was in poor health and kept coughing, but his expression was quite calm. He didn't look like that. He is the kind of person who will tell everything when he is frightened... And there are many people who regret it after going to jail. After all, he committed adultery with the Qin family and was involved in such a major case. What awaited him was hanging, but this person did not A little bit hysterical..."
"oh?"
Di Jin also frowned slightly when he heard this.
He has really never seen this adulterer who cuckolded the nephew of the current Queen Mother. Even according to Di Xiangling's story, his sister has never seen it. It was her gangsters who came forward to do the job and scared out the key clues to the adultery. .
Therefore, the impression of this person is that of a frightened adulterer who flirts with anyone, but according to Gongsun Ce's description, something is wrong.
Di Jin did not doubt Gongsun Ce's judgment. He was quite accurate in judging people. He was thinking deeply, but Gongsun Ce took the initiative to explain: "Perhaps Qin's act of killing her husband this time has completely broken his heart for his former love." Good thoughts change people!"
Di Jin didn't say anything. The two of them chatted and returned to Laoqiao Alley. From a distance, they saw Lin Xiaoyi waiting at the entrance of the alley, looking forward to it.
Gongsun Ce smiled and said: "You little book boy is very loyal to you. The one who is not as good as me is probably lazy at home now! Anyway, these few days have been a false alarm. Let's celebrate tonight. Don't get drunk. Not return!"
"good!"
After they each returned home, Lin Xiaoyi felt as if she had received an amnesty when she heard the case was resolved, and whispered: "Sir, Miss Eleven has been waiting in the study for a while."
Di Jin nodded slightly. When he came to the study, he saw Di Xiangling holding a stack of papers and handing it over: "Thanks to the help of Zhongyi Society, the original owners of those five houses were found."
"The Loyalty Society is quite capable..."
Di Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the house deed information copied in his hand, reading over it one by one.
To be honest, the transfer of these houses happened at least five years ago, and maybe ten years ago during the Dazhong Xiangfu period. It is difficult to find anything based on the mere house deeds. , purely out of curiosity.
Just like Gongsun Ce didn't think there was any big problem with Dr. Wen, but he had some doubts in his heart and felt comfortable speaking out.
However, when he saw the fourth house deed, Di Jin's eyes fell on the name of the original owner and suddenly stopped.
In an instant, everyone's performance after Liu Congguang's death and every detail from different perspectives were quickly reviewed in his mind. Combined with Gongsun Ce's doubts about Dr. Wen, Di Jin breathed out: "I'm afraid there is something behind this case. There is something fishy! Sister, please help me go to a place. If I’m late, I might not be able to make it in time!”
