Chapter six hundred and sixty-three
Hokusai succeeded?
How strange!
Hokusai was blocked by Pei Lun who had tried Shen Lian in the past and mistook her for the mistress of the house.
Naturally, she could no longer look for the treasure ship construction supervision minutes, so she could only sit aside and talk to him.
In just one stick of incense, there were footsteps outside, the door opened with a bang, Shen Lian walked into the living room with a knife in his hand, and saw the people sitting on both sides of the table in the east room looking puzzled.
"Brother Shen is so lucky. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so beautiful."
Shen Lian glanced at Beizhai, his face a little ugly, because he suddenly figured out something. Maybe Guo Zhen went to Jinling Tower to meet Beizhai not to talk about elegant matters, but to have a relationship. Then contact Ding Baiying. If this group of people dared to do anything against the emperor, it can be imagined that they must be very powerful in the officialdom.
Hokusai was defined by Dongchang as Donglin's rebel, and who did Donglin's rebel hate the most?
Wei Zhongxian.
So who made Wei Zhongxian successful?
Xizong!
The quarrel that lasted for a long time was due to his own sentimentality, thinking that Ding Baiying had arrested Beizhai, but it turned out that they were in the same group.
Embarrassing, embarrassing and uncomfortable.
"You guys chat first, I'll go out to buy some food." Hokusai stood up and walked outside as he spoke.
Shen Lian grabbed her wrist: "No need to bother, there are ingredients in the kitchen, just make a bowl of noodles."
Of course we can't let Hokusai leave at this time.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Pei Lun was holding a bowl of noodles and laughing while eating.
Shen Lian didn't move his chopsticks, looking at his expression very unhappy.
After finishing the noodles, Pei Lun lit the tobacco leaves, held the copper pole and took two puffs. He told about his visit to Yong'an Temple yesterday. He also learned from Monk Jinghai that Shen Lian had collected a lot of Hokusai's calligraphy and paintings. This was different from Shen Lian's. What was said outside Hokusai's residence was different. Either Monk Jinghai was lying, or he was lying.
Pei Lun gave him a choice. If he refused, he would take care of Monk Jinghai after he returned. Anyway, that man was in prison, and whether he lived or died was a matter of one sentence.
Shen Lian denied it and was ridiculed by Pei Lunhao, saying that he treated his friends well. During the Jinling Tower murder case, he almost forced Yin Cheng to death because Ling Yunkai would not catch him by his pigtails, and now he refused to save Monk Jinghai.
After speaking, Pei Lun stood up and left, while Shen Lian thought for a moment and quickly chased after him.
"Pei Lun, I think you should have heard that the case library was burned and a short knife was found at the scene. What are your intentions in leaving the murderer who seriously injured Ling Yunkai uninvestigated and instead using your energy on me? ?”
Pei Lun's hand holding the door stopped in mid-air, turned around and looked at him and said: "Dongchang sent Manager Lin here, saying he was to assist in the investigation, but in fact he came to supervise the case after learning about my relationship with Yin Cheng. Look at Ling Yunkai's case. It sounds simple, but when you peel back the details and list out a network of personnel relationships, combined with the current situation, you will find that it is much more complicated than you imagined. Although Yin Cheng and I are friends, I very much despise your actions after the Jinling Tower murder case. As, but I won’t target you specifically because of this. Just because the manager Lin said that the factory owner needs a big case, and if I can’t handle the matter well, then there is no other way but to ask me to go to the East Factory to explain to Yin Cheng It has something to do with it. I don’t want to go to Dongchang to drink tea, so I can only feel sorry for you, Brother Shen.”
Shen Lian: "..."
Pei Lun doesn't know as much as he does. If he tells the truth about Ding Baiying and Guo Zhen, then... I'm afraid the border troops will be shocked. It should be big enough. But he can't tell everything, otherwise The crime of releasing Hokusai privately is the crime of losing his head.
I was really hurt by that woman!
"It's best if Brother Shen and Mr. Beizhai have no relationship. If there is, Pei advises you to find a way out. Eunuch Lin is really not as kind as he seems. If you don't believe it, you can go to the prison and ask. Monk Jinghai. Of course, don’t think about colluding in confession.”
Pei Lun opened the door and left.
Shen Cheng stood in the yard for a long time, his expression changing several times, and finally he walked to the back room with a cold face.
…
In the afternoon, the scorching sun was high, the cicadas were chirping noisily, and the entire BJ City was about to melt.
When Lin Yue came to Beizhen Fusi with two squadron officers, the captain standing guard in front of the door was dozing off.
"You two, cheer up. Confidential places like the archives and archives have been burned down. If something goes wrong again, don't do anything."
The voice that followed was a man in his thirties, with small eyes, slightly convex cheekbones, and a mustache around his mouth, giving him a very serious look.
Why is it him?
Lin Yue paused.
"you."
The shout of "you" made the people who came out of the yamen were stunned for a moment. When they saw the round hat soap boots, the standard clothing of the Dongchang boss, they quickly quickened their pace to greet him.
"Father-in-law, did you call me?"
"What's it called?"
"Lu Jianxing, the bannerman of Jinyiwei."
"Looks very unfamiliar, new here?"
"No, I have been monitoring the movements of various tribes in the Oara in the west. Because my mother is old, I just recently applied for transfer back to the capital."
"Oh." Thinking of Lu Jianxing's weapon, which was more suitable for fighting enemies on the battlefield than for detective work, Lin Yue nodded: "Is Lu Qianhu here?"
"Yes, Lu Qianhu is inside."
Lin Yue nodded: "Take me to him."
"yes."
Lu Jianxing agreed and took Lin Yue into Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, where he met Lu Wenzhao in a room in the second courtyard.
"Master Lin, why are you here?"
"What? Can't I come to Jinyiwei Yamen?"
Lu Wenzhao said: "That's not what Lu meant. I heard that the factory manager was in a bad mood today, and I thought that the boss, Lin, would be waiting on me."
Lin Yue said: "The factory owner sent me here. Do you have any clues about the three-legged golden toad that I asked you to find before?"
"Yes, yes, the Tiqi sent to Kaifeng Prefecture yesterday sent news that someone had seen the shadow of the three-legged toad on the south bank of the Bianhe River. I have sent extra manpower to look for it there. If it were not for the fire in the archives, The commander wants to hire someone, so I rushed to Kaifeng early in the morning."
"That's good. The factory owner said that the fire in the Jinyiwei's archives is a big deal, but it's nothing compared to the emperor's dragon body."
Lu Wenzhao responded: "The factory owner is right."
"One more thing."
"Master Lin, please tell me."
"This morning I went to the Jinyiwei Case Documents Library and found that the fire had not destroyed all the documents. After reviewing the remaining information about the Battle of Sarhu, I found that Guo Zhen and Pei Lun were investigating the Shen Liandu of 100 households in Fusi, Beizhen. He was a member of the West Route Army. I just sent people to investigate Shen Lian's home and found that he was not at home and I don't know where he went. If Lu Qianhu knows his whereabouts, please be sure to inform me."
Lu Wenzhao's face became a little ugly. During the day, the Dongchang closed the case library to investigate the case of Xizong drowning. At night, the case library was set on fire. At noon this day, Ding Baiying told him that the minutes of the treasure ship's construction supervision had fallen into Shen Lian's hands.
Why did they burn the case documents library? Isn't it to prevent the people in Dongchang from knowing that Guo Zhen had done something on the treasure ship? Now, Captain Lin and Pei Lun's investigation of Ling Yunkai's serious injury case has touched Guo Zhen's head. From the documents of the Battle of Saerhu, we learned that Shen Lian and Guo Zhen were colleagues. Due to Dongchang's style, he would definitely bring them back for questioning. This question... wouldn't the matter be exposed?
He is panicking a lot now.
"Boss Lin, Shen Lian, I guess. Although he can be messy sometimes, he has a fairly stable character. It's possible to have a small fight or say some stupid things, but colluding with Dong Lin to rebel against the party is not possible. It definitely can’t be done.”
"Lu Qianhu, don't speak so absolutely. I heard that you were the one who sent Shen Lian to kill Beizhai, right?"
"Ah, yes, it's me."
"Were you present when he carried out his mission?"
"Not here."
"Then how do you know whether he let Beizhai go?" Lin Yue looked into Lu Wenzhao's eyes: "Or is it because of friendship? The comradeship in the Battle of Salhu?"
Lu Wenzhao was shocked. He thought that Lin Yue only learned about the fact that Guo Zhen and Shen Lian were colleagues of the Western Route Army during the Battle of Saarhu, and then connected the two people together, but he did not expect that he actually had more information.
Lin Yue took a look at the room furnishings: "Lu Qianhu, now you know why I asked you to provide Shen Lian's whereabouts, right? If you hadn't asked him to kill Beizhai, maybe the place where we were talking would not be Beizhen Fusi. "
"Please rest assured, Boss Lin. As long as Shen Lian comes to the Yamen tomorrow, I will send someone to take him down immediately."
What's the meaning?
That Eunuch Lin suspected that Guo Zhen, Hokusai and Shen Lian were closely related, and he was also a survivor of the Battle of Sarhu. If he had not actively promoted the killing of Hokusai, he would have been suspected.
From Lin San's perspective, asking him to arrest Shen Lian, wouldn't it give him a chance to prove his innocence?
The combination of Pei Lun, a member of the Nanzhen Fusi household, and the new boss of Dongchang was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
For him, whether to catch Shen Lian or not is a matter of tomorrow. The top priority now is not to make Lin Sanqi suspicious.
Lin Yue looked at Lu Wenzhao, who had a low eyebrow and a humble look on his face, and said, "Thank you, Lu Qianhu."
"Yes, yes, it's an honor for Mr. Lu to be able to share the concerns of the factory owner."
"Mr. Lu, let's go and take me away from here."
After coming out of the room, Lin Yue called Lu Jianxing, who was looking solemn, to see him off.
Lu Wenzhao raised his head slightly from behind, glanced at his back, and then looked at Lu Jianxing, who was holding a knife and moving forward, and frowned even more.
After leaving the Jinyiwei Yamen, Lin Yue stopped and said something to the expressionless Lu Jianxing.
