Jian Xiang really felt that he had been wronged.
But he didn't know that his last words reminded Mr. Di.
Di Ying was also thinking: Why did the Yamen recognize these two brothers so accurately.
Calculate according to the normal process: Aunt Chen reports the crime, the Yamen rushes to the scene, the Yamen goes back to report, the handling officer arranges the investigation, and the Yamen goes to inquire around the scene of the accident.
These two brothers have no tattoos on their faces, and they are not famous celebrities that everyone knows. They just passed by that alley, and they were remembered by others?
The official found out as soon as he went to inquire about it, and then went straight to Jian's house and captured them both.
The first doubt arose in Di Ying's heart.
After holding on for a while, he asked the two brothers: "Have you offended anyone in the city? Why did you stay in the city last night and didn't go home? Where do you live? Why did you rush home so early in the morning? Has anyone seen you two before leaving the city?"
After all, there were a series of questions, and the two brothers were stunned for a while.
Fortunately, their emotions had stabilized and they answered them one by one.
"We were just working part-time and had never offended anyone. One shop asked us to wash dishes for a day, but they didn't pay us in the end, so we had no choice but to leave obediently.
You can't win if you quarrel. We are too timid to argue with rich people. You can't win even if you fight, right?
Yesterday in the city, I also worked as a cook for a small restaurant owner. His business was good and he was busy late into the night. By the time we both thought of going home, the city gates were locked.
It was the shopkeeper's kindness that allowed us to put a bench together and sleep in the lobby. It wasn't too cold this night, but it was quite chilly and I couldn't sleep well.
When we heard the drums ringing at half past midnight, we got up, said goodbye to the boy keeping watch, and ran home.
It was dark, even breakfast shops were open, so I didn’t know who saw us. But the soldiers guarding the gate must have seen us and said hello. "
Di Ying listened to these words again and again, but could not find a reason why the murderer would specifically target them.
But there must be a connection among them, otherwise there would be no such coincidence.
Di Ying asked Uncle Jian: "Has your family ever had any grudges with anyone?"
Uncle Jian thought and shook his head.
"My family has been farmers for generations and we live in a village. For ordinary people like us, we don't dare to make grudges with others. What if we are retaliated against?"
As he said this, Uncle Jian thought about what happened to his two sons again and again, and let out a long sigh.
This good man has avoided and endured his whole life, so why is he still in trouble? Who on earth has trouble with his own family?
Uncle Jian couldn't understand, and neither could Di Ying.
Simply, let people send the three of them back, and by the way, go to the village and visit it.
After all, just what the three of them say is not what the situation of Jian's family is in the village.
After the three of them left, Di Ying told Fang Bin: "Take a few people and go to the city to find the gatekeepers and soldiers patrolling at night to find out who has gone out after the two brothers left the city. ?
Before we left the city, who else had entered the city. If anyone is unified between those going out of the city and those entering the city, ask them.
Also, find someone else. It was the person who said after Yu Wenyao died that he saw Jian Qi and Jian Xiang passing by the alley.
The cadre who heard the man say this must also be found.
Ask that person how he knew Jian Qi and Jian Xiang, and ask how the Yamen official knew them. Why can he confirm who that person is as soon as he says it? Who were the officials who went to the village to capture the two Jian brothers? Ask them all. "
After Fang Bin took the order, Di Ying prepared to go into the village and visit Ke Yingying's husband's house.
Ke Yingying and Di Yingyou have seen the name list of all the people in the government office.
Ke Yingying is an embroiderer employed by the government office. Together with the other four embroiderers, she sews some clothes for the people in the government office.
The uniforms and robes worn by officials are issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But I would also make one or two more, especially for officials from various places. What if it breaks or something goes wrong and I can’t wear it anymore, and it’s too late to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for help?
There has to be a replacement. You can't wear a torn official robe to go to the government office, right? That is the face of officials, and this is absolutely not allowed.
But most of them are made by the women in the family.
But what about the people below? For example, what about the uniforms of government officials, or low-level officials recruited by the government themselves? Naturally, the government office had to hire embroiderers to do the work.
There are also the uniforms of the soldiers who defended the city. Although these are included in military expenses, someone has to do it, right?
Di Ying's official position is still a Sima, and he has to take charge of the uniforms of the soldiers.
These are all done by the workshops. Occasionally, if there are other needs, it is also done by the embroidery ladies of the government office.
Therefore, there are actually not many embroiderers in the government office. And they are not too restricted. They can sew in the government office or take them home to sew.
Hearing Uncle Jian say that Ke Yingying seemed to have brought a small baggage with her, Di Ying was thinking: Maybe Ke Yingying was busy with work last night and just wanted to rush into the city early this morning to hand in work to the government office.
But after asking Ke Yingying's mother-in-law, Ms. Cai, she found out that Ke Yingying had made a thinner robe for Di Ying last night.
"Sir, Yingying brought back some patterns, a copy of your height and measurements, and a piece of purple fabric three days ago. She rushed through the work for three days and said she was sewing it for you. It's getting hotter, and you're wearing a thick coat, which makes outsiders look at you, it's so shameful."
Di Ying: "..."
He turned to look at Xie Jing.
Grandma Xie was worried about her own food and clothing, but Di Ying didn't take these things into consideration at all.
Usually Xie Jing wears whatever he prepares. Thick or thin...well...take it off when it's hot and put it on when it's cold.
Di Ying thought: Xie Jing came to Ke Yingying to help him sew one.
As a result, Xie Jing looked confused. "Sir, I have never looked for Ke Yingying. I haven't even thought about changing seasonal robes. I have been too busy recently."
This is quite true.
Di Ying nodded understandingly.
At this time, Mrs. Cai explained: "Yingying said she wanted to sew it for you. She also bought the cloth with her own money. Our whole family was very supportive, and the women even helped her cut it together. .
After all, you are Master Di. You have come to our territory in Luozhou, and Yingying is responsible for sewing your clothes. Not only can we not be careless, we must also be particularly attentive. "
