Dai Shirong, the fifth son of Jin Changyizi: Actually, stealing things is just to make a living. I studied painting with Jiang, mainly because I have a dream...
Lin Linyou: Being able to use the word "steal" shows that he is still a person who has studied for two years.
Zhang Bi: "Tell me, what is your dream?"
Dai Shirong: "My dream is to see the scenery at high places. It's so cold at high places... That's why I worshiped Jiang Hua as my teacher and practiced light body kung fu... In fact, I also followed Master Baihu They were just as fat. Later, in order to fly higher, they cut back on their meals and lost weight to what they are now."
Lin Linyou: "Who said fat people are not good at Qinggong?"
Zhang Bi nodded: "This requires talent... Don't interrupt! What did you see the night Li Rui died?"
Dai Shirong: "That night, as usual, I had a full meal and nothing to do, so I jumped up to the second floor of Jiaofangsi, lifted up a roof tile and looked inside..."
Jiaofangsi has unique scenery.
The houses at that time, especially the attics, were not as stingy as the modern nondescript brick buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles. The floors were very high, and each floor also had cornices.
Lin Linyou: It’s true that I’m full, warm and lustful! Dai Shirong is a guy who knows how to enjoy! We can only watch through the screen, this guy is already interested in 3D VR. Who says that the spiritual enjoyment of ancient people is not as good as that of today’s people?
That night, Dai Shirong lifted up the roof tiles of the room where Li Rui was sitting. He didn't see what he wanted to see. He originally wanted to change the room to have a look, but when he heard Li Rui talking about state affairs, he thought that he was a river supervisor, so he did so. I want to listen for a while and see what policies I can hear. If I follow the policies, I might be able to make a fortune.
However, after listening to a cup of tea, I didn't hear any useful information. Just as I was about to leave, the door opened, and Li Chun, a member of Qianhu of Jinyiwei, walked in alone, sat down and drank wine with Li Rui and the others.
"You mean them? Besides Li Rui, was there anyone else present that night?" Lin Linyou asked deliberately. Of course he knew that there were others present - the two time-travelers. The reason why I ask this is to further confirm whether what Dai Shirong said is true and how credible it is.
"There are two young men. I heard one of them say that they want to join the Imperial Guard." Dai Shirong said, "I guess Li Chun was invited by Li Rui to do this for him."
"Oh, continue, what happened next?" Zhang Bi said.
"Later...then both young men got drunk and lay on the table. Li Rui was also drunk and stumbled. He got up and shouted to find a girl. Suddenly!" Dai Shirong suddenly raised his voice, catching Lin Lin, Zhang Bi and Zhang Bi off guard. , the whole body trembled.
Zhang Bi patted Dai Shirong on the head: "Just say it! Don't be surprised."
"Two adults, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Dai Shirong squeezed out a smile, "When I was young, I had no food to eat, and I also said two years of silver in the teahouse, something like "Wan Xiu Niang takes revenge on Shanting'er" "Generals of the Yang Family" and so on, I'm surprised it's a storytelling style, I'm used to it..."
"Back to business, let's continue!" The story of the Yang family generals will be told later. What Lin Linyou is most interested in now is the story of Jiaofangsi!
"Yes...just when Li Rui stood up, your Qianhu master suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed Li Rui from behind!" Dai Shirong got back to the topic, "Then he stabbed him one by one, killing the two young men as well. , that’s called a clean and tidy person, he has been traveling around the world for several years, and he can’t kill chickens so fast when he sees people.”
"What time of night was it then?" Zhang Bi asked.
Dai Shirong tilted his head to the sky and thought for a while, then lowered his head and said, "I don't remember. Anyway, it was quite late, and the movement in all the rooms in Nanshi Building has stopped..."
It was indeed quite late. Generally speaking, the Nanshi Building is busiest and busiest from midnight to Haishi. After Haishi, it is the liveliest time in the house. Generally speaking, it will be noisy for an hour and a half, and then it will gradually become quiet. .
"It's a pity that the little one couldn't feast his eyes on it that night. I wanted to see the clouds and rain, but I didn't expect that I saw a hellish transformation!" Looking back, Dai Shirong couldn't help but slap his thigh in annoyance.
"What did Li Chun and Li Rui talk about?" Zhang Bi continued to ask. He had served as a prison judge and was more experienced in interrogation than Lin Linyou.
"There was a lot of talk, and it was miscellaneous... let Xiao Xiao think about it... Li Rui first told Li Chun about the young man who wanted to join the Jinyi Guards," Dai Shirong recalled, "later, they talked about the emperor's relocation of the capital and the river under Li Rui's supervision. , so Grand Master Arutai of the Yuan Dynasty officially paid tribute to me, the Ming Dynasty. The women in Mobei have dark thighs and ugly feet. Well, Li Rui’s neighbor’s black dog gave birth to a litter of seven puppies. Only……"
"You remember it carefully." Zhang Ben waited for Dai Shirong to finish speaking in one breath before speaking.
It's better to speak in detail. To speak in detail means that he is not lying, because details are the most difficult to make up.
"Adults, I've finished talking about the little one, can you..." Dai Shirong begged, "Can I let the little one go?"
"It's not over yet!" Lin Linyou said, "Who ordered you to come last night?"
Dai Shirong was startled, lowered his head and whispered: "No one ordered... The young ones received a good beating from the adults last night. They knew that the young ones were good at Qinggong, so they pushed the young ones here and wanted to abduct the adults' women. , let out a bad breath, never thinking that these two adults are so wise and powerful..."
"You five are all Jin Chang's adopted sons?"
"Yes." Dai Shirong nodded honestly.
Who would adopt an adopted son?
One type is a big shot like Ji Gang who adopts the custom; the other type is the eunuchs and eunuchs who have no heirs in the palace.
The trend of adopting adopted sons spread from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and was at its peak during the troubled times.
For example, Zhang Liang, a general under Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, had as many as 500 adopted sons. In essence, they were Zhang Liang's personal armed forces. They supported the army with adopted sons, consolidated the army, and expanded his power;
In the process of conquering the Yuan Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also adopted more than 20 orphans who lost their parents due to war. Some of these adopted sons stayed with him as trusted guards, and some guarded the city as supervisors and military attachés. Among them, Wang Muying of Qianning, famous founding general He Wenhui, and Quzhou guard Jingang Nu were all adopted sons of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Jin Chang is not a big shot, let alone a person in the court. He has no power to consolidate and expand. He does not spare a lot of money to raise five adopted sons. Is it possible that he is just raising children to protect him in old age?
Could it be that he is also a eunuch?
Dai Shirong failed to answer Lin Linyou's doubts: "The young follower Yi...Jin Chang has not been around for a long time, so I don't know much about him."
Seeing that Dai Shirong could no longer provide any useful information, Zhang Ben waved his hand: "Go away! During this period, it is best to find a place to hide."
Dai Shirong thanked him profusely, kowtowed twice, got up and ran away.
"Brother, can you believe it?"
"Is it credible... If he could tell the number of people in Li Rui's room that night, he should be right." Zhang Bi said, "If you are not at ease, you and I just need to check out Li Rui's neighbor's black dog. You’ll know after you’ve given birth to seven puppies.”
"I'm sure the black dog thing is true." Lin Linyou said, "But it doesn't rule out that this person grafted details from his life into this scene. After all, thieves are the most cunning... Do you believe that Li Rui is really Li Rui?" Killed by Qianhu?"
"Whether you believe it or not," Zhang Bi said, "Even if it was really Li Qianhu who killed him, he was still Ji Gang's adopted son, not your adopted son, so what does it have to do with you and me?"
It’s not that it really has nothing to do with you and me, but it’s just that you have to pretend it has nothing to do with it.
"It makes sense!" Lin Linyou said with the expressive tone of a conductor surnamed Jia, "It's just... the more we explore this case, the more mysteries become more and more!"
"What?" Zhang Bi said, "Let me tell you, you are not suitable for detective work! It's all a mystery. Let me tell you about it."
"Look, firstly, in Li Rui's death, there was originally only Jin Chang as a suspect, but now there is Li Chun. What is Li Chun's motive?" Lin Linyou counted in detail with his fingers, "Secondly, if Li Chun was the murderer. Then, Yu Miaolan said that night, she saw Jin Chang walking out of Li Chun's room. Judging from the time, Li Rui was already dead at that time. Why didn't Jin Chang report to the official? Maybe he was worried about getting into trouble, but , why did he stay in the room with Li Rui's body for so long before coming out?"
"Thirdly, Yu Miaolan came to our hospital to look for me. The night I sent her back to Nanshi Building, the person who used the hook and sickle to kill her was Jin Chang? If not, why did Huang Ze stay in my hand? The next word 'often'?"
"Fourth..." Lin Linyou took a breath, "My head is a little messy as I get older, let me sort it out."
"Don't be anxious yet. Brother Rong will analyze these three points for you first." Zhang Bi said.
Seeing Zhang Bi's confident expression, Lin Linyou's ears seemed to be ringing with the BGM of "There is only one truth"...
