Saying hello to the governor of Jingzhao and saying some innocuous remarks, the unofficial Ye San Geng has been in the world in these years, secretly handling many tasks assigned by the superiors with the twelve horsemen, and with these people, he is connected with the people and the world. The imperial court and the "big officials" who bear the brunt of the local public affairs have had frequent interactions with each other. The county magistrates are not as familiar with the current system, so they naturally have to be more polite.
Self-evident rules regardless of status.
The sincere words made the parent official in the Gyeonggi area get interested and look for any clues that could solve the mystery of Su Liuyin's inexplicable confession and suicide.
As for the matter between Midnight and the Su family girl, it had been preached in the capital for a long time. Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Gaozhao, a fourth-rank official who was well versed in the rules of officialdom, had naturally heard it mentioned by others. At that time, he did not know whether it was true or not, but now because Regarding the Su family, the third son of a prince with a different surname appeared here. In addition, someone reported early in the morning that he had visited Su Liuyin in the middle of the night, so he came out and was inseparable.
He handles things with a high degree of care, and has been sitting firmly in the position of Jingzhao Prefecture for several years. He knows how to behave and do things well, so he does not dare to neglect the instructions of his patron prince, his parents and grandchildren, and he is careful to say yes.
First, he went to Su Liubai to check his heart. He was so anxious that he fainted for a while, but it was nothing serious. At midnight, he went to Zuozuo to ask about Su Liuyin's situation.
Wu Zuo couldn't explain the reason. It was suicide, not homicide, so there would be no clues.
Staying here was in vain. At midnight, he told Yue Qingfeng to pick up the unconscious Su Liubai and leave Jingzhao Mansion.
He went to rent a carriage from a carriage shop near the government office and sent Su Liubai back to his small courtyard in the capital. At the moment, he didn't know what to do and could only listen to his sister's arrangements in the middle of the night.
Ye Xia You was naturally upset. He had just comforted her in the morning, but in the blink of an eye, the two siblings were separated from each other. This matter was indeed embarrassing.
Su Liubai finally woke up from his coma in the evening. He woke up once during this period, as if he had lost his soul. Thinking about his brother's appearance when he died, he was so sad that he cried and fainted again.
Yue Qingfeng came once after noon, but naturally he didn't bring any good news, and there was still no clue at all. This police officer who had handled many major cases, and even mysterious cases, even had some doubts about whether ghosts and gods were at work. Otherwise, what else could happen? Will he commit suicide smoothly?
The matter was a foregone conclusion, the impatience at noon was gone, and everyone calmed down, Ye Haoyou asked about the situation again.
Yue Qingfeng spoke vaguely, saying that she was inspecting the prison every day according to the rules, and Su Liuyin asked for pen and paper to write down the general statement and give it to him. After reading only two lines, Su Liuyin bumped his head against the wall. , without giving anyone a chance to react, he died on the spot.
There was no incense stick from the beginning to the end. How could Yue Qingfeng expect such a thing to happen? The only thing I felt was that Su Liuyin was mentally depressed at that time, and he must have been awake all night. Thinking of this again, Yue Qingfeng also said that he was probably possessed by a ghost.
Naturally, Ye Xiayou scolded him.
The sky was getting dark when Su Liubai woke up. This girl with her own beautiful thoughts did not cry or make trouble anymore. She was so quiet that she declined Ye Hao's invitation to stay and left alone with all her strength.
You must tell your parents about Su Liuyin no matter what. You have to face whatever you have to face. You can't hide from it.
Not long after, Su Liubai, who had just hid outside when he saw signs of waking up, came back sneakily in the middle of the night.
At this time, the maid from the mountain also brought food on time, including rice porridge, shortbread, and four dishes of side dishes, which were still steaming.
The maid is Mi Duoer from the Midnight Courtyard. This little princess who was also a tribe in Dameng at that time is now very well-behaved after Ye Xiayou's unceremonious discipline. He was not idle either, chatting about what happened in the mansion on the mountain in the past few days.
Different from the few servants and maids who came to deliver meals a few days ago, Mido'er's nature is like this. She has been pampered since she was a child. Even if she has become such a status now, she will not deliberately avoid taboos because of her inferiority and chatter non-stop. .
It was said that the prince was staying behind closed doors and was still angry. Several generals came to intercede, but they were also kicked out. The queen sent people from the palace and did not see them. The fourth master and Miss Linling were still wasting their time at the bottom of the mountain, fighting. We fought and argued, but we couldn't go up the mountain anyway.
Finally, he mentioned that on the way here when he first arrived, some children in the capital set off fireworks that did not cause a fire. They could be seen from Panshan Mountain, reflecting half the sky in red, which was even more beautiful than fireworks.
Obviously because of Su Liuyin's incident, the two siblings were depressed. For a maid from a noble family, she could not be said to be very humble now - at least compared to the daughters of guilty ministers who were born in Yeting Palace. Freedom - after chatting endlessly, it becomes boring.
The princess of the Dameng Baixin tribe, who had been served before and was now accustomed to serving others, could naturally see that the two young masters looked different from usual today. She did not dare to behave erratically and was feared in the house but had no reason to do so. The second young lady, who was very close to him, said something. She came up to him at midnight and asked the third young master in a low voice what was wrong.
Without waiting for an answer in the middle of the night, the courtyard door was suddenly knocked open from the outside. Yue Qingfeng looked panicked and ran into the courtyard. Her feet were unsteady and she almost stumbled. She asked hurriedly: "Where is Su Liubai?"
The three people in the courtyard looked at each other in confusion, but they finally came to their senses in the middle of the night and said, "Why are you looking for her? She left early."
Still, he didn't forget to invite me again, "Have you eaten? If you haven't, come and join us."
Yue Qingfeng immediately yelled, "Fuck you, eat, eat, eat, the sky is falling, how can you sit still? There was a fire in the Su residence in Jinggongfang last night. Su Liubai's parents, plus the maid, the mother, the coachman and the concierge, all All seven members of the family are dead!"
…
…
Jinggongfang was filled with the burnt smell after the fire, and the smoke filled the air, making the already gloomy weather even more depressing.
The fire was discovered by watchmen when it first broke out. Neighbors jumped over walls and houses to extinguish the fire in time.
It's not unusual to not see the owner of the house. People who return home during the Chinese New Year and people who visit each other visit each other. It's reasonable to go out for a banquet at this time. It's normal for there to be no one at home.
The elder who was responsible for managing public security in Fang City also came over after a banquet. He smelled of alcohol and was preparing to find the master's house. Only then did he discover that in the bedroom in the inner courtyard where the fire broke out, there were eighty-seven corpses lying around, exuding a burning smell. Unpleasant burnt odor afterwards.
When Ye Sangeng, Yue Qingfeng, and Ye Xiayou, who couldn't care less about avoiding it, arrived at Jinggongfang in the capital, they saw seven corpses whose appearance could still be vaguely identified.
Like coke, it's terrible to look at.
There was also Su Liubai who passed out bloodlessly while under the care of a neighbor woman.
Family members died one after another in half a day. Even a tough man couldn't bear such a heavy blow, let alone such a weak woman?
He once studied a few medical books in his spare time, and also learned a few superficial skills in seeing, hearing, asking, and understanding from his family's vanguard, Lord Rabbit, who was in the Mao position. Ye Haoyou only took a brief look with the faint light of the torch and then hurried over.
"Three watch, three watch, uneven Qi."
Yue Qingfeng, who could clearly feel that the air flow around him was slightly irregular, turned around and saw the figure of Midnight, who had been silent all the way, moving. It was just an ups and downs. While he was distanced from himself, this was also an experience. The government detective who had been through the storm couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The suffocating depression is even more breathless than the gloomy weather.
The breath that came first in the night was flowing through the body while holding the cold palm.
The pulse, which had been weakened to the point of miniscule, had a cautious feeling in its beats, responding to the sudden vigorous energy in the body in an elusive manner. Ye San followed Su Liubai's gossamer-like breathing very regularly. One by one, the faint veins are pulled, and the cycle gradually stimulates the vague ups and downs. Only when the vitality between the internal organs can be clearly sensed is restored as before, can the hands be withdrawn.
On the side, Ye Xie quickly reached out and held the pulse gate of Su Liubai's wrist. Even though he could easily feel the ups and downs and saw the expression on her face turn from pale to red, he still said uneasily: "How is Liubai? Are you okay?"
Naturally, he didn't get any reply. The frost-covered Ye Zangeng was already walking towards Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Gaozhao, whom he had just met at noon.
"Who did it?"
This made Gao Zhao not sure how to answer, and he looked embarrassed. If he could know who did this, would he still need to stay here? The Chinese New Year celebrations are not stopping at all, no matter how noisy they are, people are killed now, and the key is still seven lives. The most important thing is that under the imperial city, Gao Zhao, the parent official who controls the important area of the capital, feels that he is afraid of the New Year. As soon as the festival is over, you have to do whatever you need to do.
Gao Zhao was thinking about how to reply to the third son of the Ye family who, although he had no official position, could definitely crush him with power. Next to him, Yue Qingfeng came to the rescue and said: "We have just finished cleaning up the scene. No other, there was a fire and all the clues were wiped out." …”
Naturally, he didn't finish his words. The moment he turned his eyes in the middle of the night, it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Yue Qingfeng's heart hard, causing him to shut his mouth involuntarily, and his eyes also moved aside to avoid him.
Turning his eyes again, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, a fourth-rank official, shivered unnaturally.
He knew clearly that the eldest grandson of a prince with a different surname in front of him had no position or power, but what of what he did could not be done by an official? In the past few years, not to mention that he was only a fourth-grade person, he had been secretly ordered to do something with the twelve-horse pawn whose name was only heard but whose identity was not seen. Even those relatives of the emperor would be a little inferior when they met.
It has nothing to do with his abilities, nor does it have anything to do with the illustrious status of the patron king. In the final analysis, it is just the black jade plaque that "sees it as if I were here in person".
I am not the current me, but the former emperor. Emperor Wu Jian, who reigned for more than thirty years and shocked the world with his fierce martial arts, once had a handwritten edict to designate this black jade plaque as the "backing stone to protect the country." It is still kept in the ancestral temple, who dares to disobey?
Gao Zhao was trembling in his heart, but he couldn't lose his official authority, otherwise he would be looked at by his group of government officials. Who knows how they would secretly laugh at him if they could only talk nonsense all day long. , maybe it will ruin your reputation.
This was a test of the temper he had trained for many years as an official. Looking at his subordinates who were coming in and out to clean up the mess, Gao Zhao said: "I have just arrived, but it seems that the possibility of a vendetta cannot be ruled out. The corpses will be destroyed and all traces will be wiped out." His methods are also proficient, so he must be a veteran."
A few words can be said to cover everything. What should be emphasized is the decline, and what should not be mentioned are also vague. What is said is almost unsaid, but it is the experience of many years of ups and downs in officialdom.
Over there, Ye Xiaer, who was kneeling on the ground and pushing the palace acupuncture points for Su Liubai, still had half of his usual elegant temperament. His eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "What official tone are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about? Gao, I don’t care how you check it or where you check it from. Now, immediately, immediately, go find Liangwei and check him for me first!”
The majesty of having been bossing around for many years suddenly burst out at this moment. All the busy government officials in the field immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.
It's not a dilemma, but it's a situation where Gao Zhao is ready to ride a tiger, and he breaks into cold sweat.
Regarding the three shifts at night, they were all doing things for the court and obeying the royal family's orders. Gao Zhao thought that some of his words had been said, and the meaning had been achieved.
However, Gao Zhao did not dare to have such thoughts about Miss Ye Er, a woman who could easily get promoted to the Imperial Academy with an official rank equivalent to the second rank.
Regardless of whether he was official or not, Gao Zhao's shoulders slumped, and his tone was almost flattering, "Second Miss, you need evidence to arrest someone, both physical and personal evidence..."
"Third watch at night!"
He didn't even look at the official who was in charge of the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in the capital city. Ye Haoyou's eyes were full of violence, especially not as strong as Ye Mu's eyes.
"If something happens to Liu Bai, get back to Panshan!"
The sky is getting darker, black clouds are rolling in, and we are turning around in the middle of the night.
