Song Tu and Fang De saw that even Zheng Donglai did not dare to make a private decision. They also felt that the seriousness of this matter was more serious than they imagined.
Under the night, Zheng Donglai went straight to Zhao Wei's mansion without any delay.
Zhao Wei has been in charge of the torture chamber for many years. Others only think that he is selfless and ruthless, but Zhao Wei's biggest hobby is painting, and he is best at flowers and bamboos. At this time, in front of Zhao Wei, there is a green
Green bamboo, green bamboo is planted in a small pot. It is only more than three feet tall and as thick as a thumb, but this green bamboo grows golden leaves, which flicker with golden light under the candlelight.
Zhao Wei began to draw bamboo after dinner. Within half an hour, the green bamboo placed in front of him had already appeared on the paper. In this dark night, if he cut it out of the paper and inserted it into the basin, it would be very difficult to see it from the front.
It's hard to tell which one is fake.
"Sir, your writing skills have improved again. When I first met, my master was best at drawing with charm. Now not only the charm is still there, but the appearance is also hard to distinguish between real and fake." On the side, a pretty girl looked at you.
He went up to Cuizhu and praised with a smile.
"Haha, you girl, you are just sweet-talking. Master, I know that the realism is still lacking. Look at the connection between the bamboo joints and the bamboo leaves, there are still some flaws." Zhao Wei said with great effort.
"Master, this is this golden-leaf bamboo. The bamboo leaves and bamboo poles are very different in color. If they were both emerald green, I'm afraid this flaw would not exist." The girl continued to please.
"You girl, you know how to coax me. Although I know it myself, I still feel comfortable when you say this. How about you add a butterfly on top?" Zhao Wei stopped the girl's slim waist and said.
"Okay, but one won't do. I need a pair. I don't like being alone!" the girl said coquettishly.
"Yes, Master, I can't let my baby be alone!" Zhao Wei laughed. The woman in his arms was originally from a brothel. Zhao Wei accidentally discovered that this woman was good at painting, and he became a confidant for a while, because she was still a prostitute.
As a close official, Zhao Wei simply took her as his concubine. Even after many years, she is still deeply loved by Zhao Wei.
Just when the girl was writing and preparing to draw a butterfly, suddenly the housekeeper hurried over and said: "Sir, Mr. Zheng from the arrest department is here with someone. It seems that he has something to ask you."
"What's the matter with Zheng Donglai looking for me at this time?" Zhao Wei was in high spirits at the moment, waiting to finish the work with his concubine, and felt a little uncomfortable being interrupted.
"Master, look at this..." The housekeeper knew his master's mood very well.
"Let him meet me in my study!" Zhao Wei ordered.
"Yes!" The housekeeper left immediately after hearing this.
Zhao Wei kissed his concubine on the cheek and said softly: "You draw first, and then I'll take a look after I send them away."
"Master, please go and do your work!" The girl knows how to behave and knows when to act coquettishly.
Zhao Wei was most satisfied with her and left with a smile.
But Zhao Wei's interest only ended here. When he saw the account book handed over by Zheng Donglai, he suddenly lost all mood.
"This matter is too important. Where did this ledger come from?" Zhao Wei asked cautiously.
"She was a former concubine of Su Changhai. I accidentally thought that Su Changhai had sneakily thrown things into his pool twice at night. I kept investigating this case. I originally thought that Su Changhai might have lost some money.
Things, I didn’t expect it to be a ledger!” Lin Haoming said.
"Is she the woman you took in?" Zhao Wei seemed to know something about Lin Haoming and asked subconsciously.
"No, it's another one!" Lin Haoming replied immediately.
"The other one, since you thought it was money that was lost, she must have had the same idea. In that case, why did Su Changhai's concubine tell you?" Zhao Wei asked.
"This...this is because that woman is following me now!" Lin Haoming said with some embarrassment.
"Huh?" Zhao Wei was obviously a little shocked after hearing this.
Lin Haoming glanced at Song Tu, who immediately smiled and briefly explained what happened to Lin Haoming and Su Mei.
Song Tu was also an old man in the arrest department. Zhao Wei also knew this very active person. It was reasonable to hear what he said, but he was still a little dissatisfied with Lin Haoming and said: "Lin Haoming, you have just been promoted, please be more restrained.
They used to be Su Changhai's concubines with official documents. Although the Su family has lost Su Changhai, it doesn't mean anything, but others will misunderstand you!"
"The boss is right, my subordinate was reckless!" Lin Haoming took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"But you have made a mistake in your calculation. I can't decide this matter. I want to see the county magistrate. You two follow me to the county government office now!" Zhao Wei said in a commanding tone.
Zhao Wei hurriedly put on his official uniform and left, not even caring about his favorite concubine waiting for him.
Several people arrived at the county government office all the way. By this time, Jia Kai was already enjoying the pleasure of his wife and concubines behind the government office.
After all, Zhao Wei was also one of the principals of the Six Houses. Although he could not see the county magistrate directly, he still sent someone to report it.
However, this report made Zhao Wei and others wait in the side hall for nearly two hours. It was almost midnight when Jia Kai came out feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
As soon as he saw Zhao Wei and the others, he immediately asked: "Mr. Zhao, why do you want to see me in the middle of the night?"
"Sir, this matter is too important. Only you can make a decision. This is Lin Haoming, the head of the arrest department, who accidentally fished it out from under the pond of Su Changhai's former residence. Sir, please take a look at it!" Zhao Wei took the account book directly.
Passed it to Jia Kai.
Jia Kai opened it and took a look. The dissatisfaction in his heart was immediately replaced by surprise. After turning a few pages, his face immediately said solemnly: "Besides you, who else knows about this?"
"Only the five of us have read the account book, but according to Lin Haoming, he went there with twenty or thirty brothers from the arrest department. Although he had ordered them not to talk too much, a smart person might think of something.
"Zhao Wei didn't dare to hide it.
Lin Haoming followed: "Sir, I didn't expect this at the time. When I first got the package, I thought it was Su Changhai's secretly hidden rice stamps."
"Tell me what happened and don't hide anything!" Jia Kai stared at Lin Haoming and warned.
Lin Haoming also felt the pressure of the master of Xilin County at this moment. He took a deep breath and recounted what happened again. Jia Kai also asked a few questions similar to those of Zhao Wei, and Lin Haoming naturally answered them.
Already.
"So, this matter is true. By the way, is the handwriting on the account book belongs to Su Changhai?" Jia Kai asked.
"No, it's that Yun Feiyu guy. I've been studying this incident these days, so I recognize it!" Lin Haoming said with certainty.
"The account book is indeed old. It has been for many years. It was obviously left by Yun Feiyu back then. The first part records the benefits received by the officials each time, and the second part records the status of each cargo. The most important thing is the last one. It turned out to be
A two-headed green-eyed lizard in the Divine Profound Realm, and it happened to be here at the time when things happened that year. This poisoning and murder case are all people in the ledger. I am afraid there is a very important mystery in it." Zhao Wei is very sure.
