On the second night, the north wind blew; quietly, heavy snow fell.
Lin Linyou curled up in his bed, sleeping soundly.
Next door, Zhang Benyang Fang snored loudly and slept soundly.
The Jinyi Guards had three days off, and last night the three of them happened to be on duty on the last day of the three days. They didn't have to draw their heads the next day, so they got drunk around the stove.
Humans are social animals, and with Zhang Ben and Yang Fang accompanying him, Lin Linyou no longer feels that the time-travel life is so lonely. The only question now is whether Zhang Bi is also a time-traveler?
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he is a time traveler or not. What is important is whether he has any ill intentions towards himself who is also a time traveler?
When the three of them were sleeping soundly, little did they know that in the snowy night, a bright short knife came out of its sheath. One of them groaned, and hot blood spurted out from his neck, pouring on the newly accumulated snow, just like blooming flowers. plum bossom……
…
While the three of them were sleeping soundly, the girls from Jiaofangsi were still working hard to entertain the guests.
Nanshi Building.
A drunken man was supported by a turtle man and shouted vaguely: "Oh no! I don't know how to empty the chamber pot when it's full! I'm so dirty! Who knew the last man had it?" No Hualiu!”
Mr. Gui kept company with him and helped Xie Ke to the corner of the alley. After a while, there was a sound of "squeaking" water being discharged...
…
Not long after, Mr. Turtle went back upstairs alone, called his two companions and said, "There is a guy who fell drunk and fell on the snow. I can't lift him up by myself. You guys come with me and help him in, but don't give him any help." so cold."
The two of them followed him towards the alley. In the distance, on the snow illuminated by the lights, they saw a person lying motionless. One person stepped forward and shook his body. When there was no response, he turned him over. When I turned around, I was shocked to find that his neck was stained with blood, and he had been dead for a long time...
The three of them hurriedly told Aunt Sun, the bustard, and Aunt Sun hurriedly went to the Jiaofang Si Yamen Office to find Si Le, but was told that Si Le had already gone to bed.
The officer on duty was pacing in the snow, "Aunt Sun, it's not uncommon for a few of your Nanshi Building to die. If you ask me, just carry the mass grave and throw it away, don't look for trouble...or Just say yes, he died of drunkenness and freezing!"
Aunt Sun said: "It's impossible! With such a big wound on the neck, who would believe that he died of freezing? After all, it is a murder case. If I conceal it and don't report it, I will be the one who takes the responsibility."
"Okay, I understand. I'll tell Si Le tomorrow morning."
…
At four o'clock in the morning, in the imperial city, a eunuch walked excitedly with small steps, came to the emperor's palace, and reported good luck to Zhu Di.
…
At Yinshi, Lin Linyou, who was sleeping soundly, was violently shaken.
In a daze, Lin Linyou said unhappily: I just crossed over, can't you let me have a good rest? Although Jin Yiwei Zongqi is just a free agent, in the past few months, he has not slept as much as he did in 1996!
Although this kind of sleeping in may be impeached by Sixth Subject and Thirteenth Section, today is a holiday!
"Second brother, get up!" It was Yang Fang who kept shaking him.
"Brother, you are my eldest brother!" Lin Linyou was finally shaken awake, "Brother! It's a holiday today, not to mention that the rooster hasn't crowed yet, what are you doing?"
Yang Fang said: "The banker's chicken hasn't crowed, but the Jiaofangsi's chicken has been crowing for a long time."
"Who goes to the Jiaofang Department early in the morning?!"
"It's Nanshi Building, and another murder occurred!" Yang Fang said, "This is our land! It makes no sense not to go and take a look."
"Can't we just ask a few brothers to go?" Lin Linyou said lazily, pulling the corner of the quilt over his head.
"No way, second brother!" Yang Fang said, "Commander Yuan and Li Qianhu are already at the scene. I heard that Commander Ji was alarmed! If we don't go, it won't make sense!"
Commander Yuan, Yuan Jiang, Li Qianhu, and Li Chun were all direct superiors of Lin Linyou and the others. I heard that these two people have a good relationship with Ji Gang.
As early as August, Ji Gang had been promoted to the position of Commander of the Imperial Guards and Commander of the Imperial Guards.
"What, his godson died again?"
"Shh! Don't say this nonsense." Yang Fang said in a low voice, "The person who died was an ordinary citizen. I don't know why he was alarmed. Let's go and have a look!"
My immediate superiors have gone, and it seems that I can’t do it without going.
"Where's the eldest brother?" Lin Linyou reluctantly got out of the warm quilt and asked while getting dressed.
"It's already gone ahead."
"This kid is so active this time? He is usually the one who sleeps best!"
The snow has accumulated very thickly, and there are a few sparrows jumping around on the snow, leaving small paw prints.
The snow in the sky is still falling.
The two of them walked through the snow and hurried to the alley behind the Nanshi Building. As expected, they saw that several colleagues had surrounded them and blocked the entrance to the alley.
Qianhu Li Chun stood out among the crowd because he was wearing a pearl-white cloud brocade garland and flying fish suit, which was more dazzling than the snow on the ground.
Zhang Bi whispered to the same Jinyi Guardsman: "Why is he the only one wearing Feiyu uniform today?"
The captain said in a low voice: "It's auspiciousness from heaven. I heard that the emperor has summoned the Qintian Supervisor to have a banquet with several ministers to enjoy the snow. I'm afraid Li Qianhu will also participate, and he will have to enter the palace soon!"
"Oh! I'm envious. When will we get this kind of treatment?" Zhang Bi sighed in a low voice.
"That will have to wait until you are promoted to at least a thousand households, my lord." The captain said, "With your courage, my lord, wouldn't that be easy?"
"You're the only one with a sweet mouth."
Lin Linyou and Yang Fang were about to step forward to salute when they heard the sound of stepping on the snow from the alley behind them. Looking back, they saw four carriages carrying a sedan chair slowly lowering them down. A guard in gilded clothes put up a step stool next to the sedan chair, and another At the same time, the famous Jin Yiwei Gongsu opened the sedan curtain.
The curtain of the sedan chair opened, and Yuan Jiang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei with a majestic look, walked out, dressed in a fiery red unicorn suit with silk gauze, looking like a lonely and blooming begonia in the pure white snow! It immediately eclipsed Li Chun's Feiyu suit.
"Commander!" Everyone moved out of the way and bowed.
Yuan Jiang stepped on his beaded bear leather boots and walked slowly over. He glanced at the dead body on the ground, then looked around at his men who were standing solemnly. Then he raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle to the sky and looked at it with deep eyes. Snow falling all over the sky:
"This case has been settled by the Holy Majesty. Someone deliberately provoked the Holy Majesty and wanted to rebel!"
"Sir, I will send someone to investigate immediately!" Li Chun said.
Yuan Jiang didn't look at Li Chun, but just waved two fingers: "In this matter, those rotten scholars from the Justice Department, please don't let them in. Li Qianhu!"
"The official is here."
"This is your territory. Arrange manpower to conduct a thorough investigation and select a few capable ones. We will definitely find out the traitors! But remember to keep a low profile. Today is auspicious. The Lord is giving a banquet to congratulate all the ministers. I don't want any more trouble!"
"yes!"
In the early morning, a memorial from the Ministry of Rites was presented, saying that the two daughters of Jiaofang Si Tiexuan refused to give in.
Zhu Di looked at Feixue outside the palace: "I heard that Tie Xuan's wife had died of illness in the Jiaofang Department a long time ago. This is your dereliction of duty!"
"I deserve death for my crime." The left minister of the Ministry of Rites, who presented the memorial, knelt on the ground.
"Tie Xuan's two daughters, from now on, they will get rid of their slave status and become good friends." Zhu Di said slowly.
The ministers hesitated for a while, and then shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Holy Ming!"
"After the court, enjoy the snow!" Zhu Di waved his sleeves and stood up from the dragon chair.
At this time, there was a Li Ke who was not afraid of death and stepped forward: "I have something to report."
"Come on!"
The Li Ke said to Xia Di, who was involved in the matter: "Lin Linyou, the general banner of Jinyiwei, has repeatedly caused trouble in the Jiaofang Si Nan Market Building. I suspect that he is related to the Jiaofang Si case. Please send an order to punish him."
Zhu Di was unhappy and thought: The real culprit in the Jiaofangsi case has been brought to justice long ago, and it was my imperial pen who approved it personally. Doesn't your words mean that I am being unfair?
But he didn't show it on his face. He turned to look at Mr. Xu, the Minister of Works, who was standing there: "Xu Qing, you told me before that a guard in golden clothes rescued Mr. Ling and killed several water thieves. Is it convenient?" Is this Lin Linyou?"
"Your Majesty, it is this person."
"The merits and demerits are equal." Zhu Di said, "As for whether it is related to the remnants of the Jiaofang Division case, Xia Qing, you and Mr. Ji will supervise the case together!"
During the ceremony, Xia Di and Jin Yiwei both directed the officials and officials and said in unison: "I obey the order!"
Zhu Di remembered the names Lin Linyou and Xia Di. As for Lin Linyou, he didn't think he would be a murderer. After all, if the Jin Yiwei wanted to kill people, there was no need to bother. As for Xia Di, it was a big deal. Say it too! It's really annoying, and it disturbs my enjoyment of enjoying the snow!
However, these officials cannot be offended easily. Even the emperor dared to scold these rotten scholars!
At this time, Lin Linyou sneezed several times in the snow.
"Second brother, you are not so weak, are you?" Zhang Bi said, "What will happen if you stop running to Miss Yu? You will be hollowed out!"
"No." Lin Linyou rubbed his nose, "I feel like someone is scolding me..."
