Cai said with pride.
Finally, I remembered to ask something serious. "Sir, why did you suddenly think of coming to the house of a civilian woman? Did Yingying do something wrong?
Di Ying: "..."
Facing Ms. Cai's gentle and kind smile, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, after Ms. Cai saw that his face was a little embarrassed, her heart thumped fiercely. Mr. Di is famous for solving cases. He suddenly came to his house early in the morning and asked about Yingying, the only one who was not at home...
Ms. Cai covered her heart with her hand and her face instantly turned pale.
The rest of the Cai family also thought of that possibility...and their legs became weak for a while.
Seeing this, Di Ying quickly waved her hands and said: "Don't think too much, don't think too much. I just saw that the robes made by Mrs. Ke were very beautiful and fit well. I happened to be at Jian's house to ask something, so I stopped by to take a look. Let’s see if Mrs. Ke’s family needs anything.”
The Cai family all let out a long breath.
It really scared them to death.
And the smile returned to Cai's face.
Hearing Mr. Di praise his youngest daughter-in-law Ke Yingying's craftsmanship, he looked proud.
Di Ying took advantage of the situation and asked some things about Ke Yingying.
Ms. Cai babbled on and told some of the things she knew about Ke Yingying that she was particularly willing to talk about.
While talking, You Yiwei also thought of something that happened last year.
"At the end of August last year, Yingying came home one time, and her face was not very good. At that time, she had just entered the government office to work. Originally, she could pass the government office's assessment and have the opportunity to work in the government office. Our whole family They are all very proud of her.
But she didn't do it for long, maybe half a month, when she came back that time and said: She didn't want to go anymore.
I asked her what happened? What she said was that Mr. Changshi was very confused. Originally, the uniforms of high officials like that were either issued by the court or made by the female family members themselves. Why would he ask her to do it?
She was also picky about the fat and thin, and even asked her to work late at night in the Yamen.
Yingying didn't want to. After all, she was a young woman with a pretty face. What was it like not going home at night and spending the night in a place like the Yamen where all the men were gathered?
It's easy to say but not easy to hear, right? Even if my son is generous, what will others think?
Yingying didn't want to go, but she couldn't bear to part with that decent and light job, which could also help with a lot of work at home, so she was very entangled.
In the end, it was my son who coaxed her and she continued.
But since then, she has avoided Master Chang Shi.
Anyway, they can take their work home to do, so my youngest son will accompany her to the office and wait for her at the door. After she takes over the work and comes out, we will go home together. "
At this time, Di Ying saw something placed behind Cai, and a corner of blue-gray clothing was exposed.
Then he pointed there and asked, "What is that?"
Ms. Cai listened and turned around, revealing a sewing basket placed on the small bench behind her.
She picked it up and turned it around, holding the small piece of clothing and explaining: "This is the accountant in the government office. He asked Yingying to embroider some willow branches on his robe. of supplements.
Yingying just took this job yesterday, after all, she couldn't help but refuse, right? She brought it back and asked the women to help embroider it, while she concentrated on sewing the robe for you.
It was sewn last night. She couldn't wait for dawn and couldn't wait to go to the city to deliver it to you.
She said that if she goes too late, she might not be able to find you again.
My youngest son wanted to see her off, but she didn't let him go, telling her to go and come back quickly. He went out without disturbing his family. I wonder, sir, have you received the robe? "
As soon as he finished asking, he smiled angrily and said, "Look, I'm really old. I have a bad memory. You have already praised her for her good craftsmanship."
Di Ying tried her best to keep the smile on her face. Then they exchanged a few more pleasantries and stood up to say goodbye.
As for the accountant Cai mentioned, he was the newly appointed accountant three years ago after the death of Shentu Siyuan.
That was originally a position filled by the government itself.
There are many types of accounts that go in and out of the government office every day, and there is no room for delay. He will not wait for the whereabouts of Shentu Siyuan to be found before proceeding with corresponding official duties.
After walking out of Cai's house, Di Ying covered her face hard and suppressed her anger.
He whispered to Liu Liudao: "Go back to the city quickly and check who recommended the person who took over Shentu Siyuan's position as accountant. By the way, check the alibi of the new accountant during the time period of the three cases. "
Only if someone recommends it, Lu Kairui will meet with the person, conduct an assessment, and then sign an employment contract. This is the process.
Liu Liu jumped on his horse, hit the horse and ran away.
After Di Yingze asked Shi Shi to take the two Jian brothers with him, he walked slowly by himself, reasoning quickly in his mind.
The dark clouds sauntered behind the owner.
After the master finally climbed onto his horse, Wu Yun quickly returned to the prefectural government office.
Di Ying hurried back and summoned all the government officials in the past three years to question them one by one in detail.
Fang Bin had already found the Yamen Bing who handled the Yu Wenyao case in advance.
It was because he heard someone say that he had seen the two Jian brothers at the entrance of the alley that he took three other government officials to the village to arrest them.
It's just that Fang Bin couldn't get any decent results.
What Yacha Bing said was: "At that time, when we rushed to the alley and did not see Yu Wenyao's body, we inquired about nearby pedestrians, people in shops, etc.
A passerby shouted: 'I saw Jian Qi and Jian Xiang passing by here before. '
He shouted very loudly, with a high-pitched voice, like a drake's throat.
When we looked over, we saw no one.
We didn't have time to think too much at that time. After all, the two Jian brothers passed by the area when they first filed Master Tu's case. Our first thought was: those two people were suspicious, so we ran off and captured them. "
When Fang Bin asked about the soldiers who were on duty at the south city gate, he asked about one who followed the two brothers of the Jian family out of the city and returned to the city after Uncle Jian reported the case. He was the only one during that time period. A person whose entry and exit are unified.
but……
The soldiers' answer was: "I didn't see clearly what that man looked like. He seemed to be sick. He was stooped when he went out and came in. He kept coughing while covering his mouth and nose with a cloth handkerchief."
The brothers saw that he was coughing badly and did not dare to get too close to him, so they asked him to show his identity documents.
He flashed his light, and we glanced at it casually.
He was wearing shabby clothes and looked quite thin. He couldn't be a bad person, so I asked him what he was doing out of the city.
He said he went into the mountains to collect herbs to treat his illness, so we let him out.
When the man came back later, his cough seemed to have improved a little, and the small basket in his hand was filled with unknown herbs. But his voice is a bit like a drake's voice, a bit high-pitched. "
