Chapter 157 The murderer turned out to be Qin Wenyuan!!
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Madam, that's natural!"
It is impossible not to brag after being praised by your own wife!
Immediately, he frowned and said: "Of course, I was really pissed off by Du Linli. He relied on his old age and sold himself off as soon as he came up. He even asked me to resign my title and said that I was relying on luck."
"I even want to use lynching..."
He sneered, "He has already treated me like this. If I don't fight back, then I won't really be me, and I will be worthy of being our wife's husband."
"This time, if it hadn't been for his age, I'm afraid he would have been so angry that today's matter would not have ended so easily."
Changle nodded, unable to comment.
She watched her husband get up, so she naturally knows her husband's temperament.
She knew that even though Du Linli's hair stood on end with anger, Qin Wenyuan was really very polite.
If you really anger your husband, no matter what the censor... you will have to be afraid!!
Changle said: "Husband, as you said, although Du Linli is not very capable, he is not stupid either."
"But this time he has hit a wall, and Master Wei and Master Du Ruhui have never come forward to speak for him. He will understand the attitude of the two adults towards him."
"In the future, if he troubles us again, he will have to consider whether he is qualified or not, and we have General Cheng and the others to support us."
Chang Le and Qin Wenyuan said as they walked towards the lobby of the Qin Mansion: "This time, he came to our Qin Mansion to cause trouble. The two adults did not pay attention to him because of their status as colleagues and because he had just taken up the post of censor.
Save him some face."
"But if he dares to come and make trouble for no reason again, then I think there is no need to worry about my husband, you will take action personally. The two adults will naturally deal with him. Relying on the old and selling the old will not work here."
Qin Wenyuan smiled. He knew that Changle would protect his shortcomings and would not tolerate his husband being wronged in the slightest. This was telling him that we have many options.
Changle knew about this even if he didn't talk about it.
"Husband, you should go sit in the tea shop first, talk to Uncle Hu and the others, divert your mind, and don't let this matter make you angry."
Qin Wenyuan nodded. He was indeed a little angry. He didn't even want to go out, so he just wanted to have some peace and quiet at home.
But now that his wife has given him guidance like this, Qin Wenyuan's mood has improved.
In this way, Qin Wenyuan did not take the newly appointed censor Du Linli seriously and quickly threw himself into the salty life.
Time flies, and two days fly by.
This day, in the evening.
Qin Wenyuan had a rare day off and was reading the storybook at home with all kinds of boredom.
My daughter-in-law has already gone out. Yesterday she said she was going to the tea shop to settle accounts and see if she was right.
Changle had enough for them to follow this time, so Qin Wenyuan wasn't too worried.
As for the Four Books and Five Classics in front of him, it was really difficult for Qin Wenyuan to get into it.
Only some picture books are interesting.
Whenever this happens, Qin Wenyuan can't help but lament the lack of entertainment in this era.
Some people are busy, and that's okay, but for people like him, it's really boring when they have free time.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan was flipping through the storybook when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The frequency is a bit fast and sounds a bit anxious.
"Who?" Qin Wenyuan asked.
"Master Qin, it's me!"
Jing Zhaoyi and Zhao Xianye’s voice sounded.
Zhao Xianye Mr. Zhao?
It's almost dark, why is he looking for me at this time?
Isn't it like Wei Zheng who comes here often and comes here for a meal?
Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows and went over to open the door.
Only then did he realize that there was not only Zhao Xianye standing outside the door, but also several Yamen servants from Jing Zhaoyi.
At this time, they were all wearing official uniforms and looked like they had just finished handling some case.
Zhao Xianye's expression was a little solemn, and he also looked at Qin Wenyuan.
He asked: "Mr. Qin, I have a few questions. I want to ask you as usual. I hope Mr. Qin can understand."
"Um?"
Qin Wenyuan's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He looked at Zhao Xianye and said, "What does this mean, Master Zhao."
Zhao Xianye sighed helplessly and asked, "Master Qin, you will know later."
"I would like to ask you first, what did you do this morning?"
Qin Wenyuan was a little confused about what Zhao Xianye meant, but he still said directly: "Sleep. I didn't go to my tea shop all day today. I only rested. It's rare to sleep in. It will be noon when I wake up."
Zhao Xianye suddenly frowned and said, "Mr. Qin, what you are saying is that this whole morning, Mr. Qin, you have been sleeping at home and have never gone out?"
"Of course, can I still deceive Mr. Zhao?"
"Then...can anyone prove it?" Zhao Xianye asked.
When Qin Wenyuan heard this, he suddenly looked at Zhao Xianye and said, "Master Zhao, did something happen that involved me, Qin, too?"
Mainly because Zhao Xianye's questioning was too much like questioning a suspect during a case investigation.
Zhao Xianye nodded solemnly, looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "The newly appointed Censor, Du Linli, was killed in the mansion this morning."
"What?!"
Qin Wenyuan's eyes suddenly widened, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Du Lin Li, is he dead?"
He really couldn't believe it.
Two days ago, Du Linli came to the Qin Mansion to cause trouble for him and was scolded by him.
How come he was killed when he turned around?
this……
He couldn't help but think of those rumors.
Censor, this position is really poisonous!!
Now it seems that it is really poisonous!
Wang Guang is done!
And now the new censor, Du Linli, died less than three days after taking office.
And it’s all about yourself.
this……
Qin Wenyuan said: "He is dead. What does this have to do with me? Mr. Zhao, with all due respect, why did you come to me?"
Because it was a routine matter, Qin Wenyuan also used a questioning tone at this moment, and no longer used the tone of talking between friends.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Xianye said: "Well, didn't Mr. Qin have a conflict with Du Linli a few days ago?"
"You mean, for just such a contradiction, and I won the scolding, I, Mr. Qin, will kill him to vent my anger?"
"It would be too unfair for Mr. Zhao to decide the case like this."
Qin Wenyuan looked at Zhao Xianye expressionlessly.
Zhao Xianye's scalp was a little numb. Did he know Qin Wenyuan's true identity? He was the most treasured consort of His Majesty Li Shimin!
He quickly said: "Of course it's not because of this, it's just because the old housekeeper of the Du Mansion has a confession, saying that Mr. Qin was the last person to see Du Linli in the morning."
"As for the time of Du Lin Li Li's death, I infer that it was the time when Mr. Qin met him. That's why I came to see you, Mr. Qin."
Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about? I went to see Du Linli this morning?"
He shook his head and said: "This is impossible! Mr. Zhao, I, Mr. Qin, slept until noon today. I didn't even take a step out of the door. How could I go to see him?"
Zhao Xianye asked: "Can anyone prove it? If so, it would prove that Butler Du Fu is lying."
Qin Wenyuan shook his head and said: "No, I am the only one at home today. My wife also went to the tea shop to settle accounts all day long. Where can I find any witnesses?"
Speaking of this, Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed suddenly.
This thing is so clever!!
It happened that I was resting at home, and my wife happened to be away too, leaving me without any alibi. This...
This is a conspiracy! A conspiracy only against him, Qin!
Is it those aristocratic families, or the Big Dipper?!
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flickered, and his eyes became more and more dangerous.
"That would be a bit troublesome."
Zhao Xianye did not notice it, and continued: "I trust Mr. Qin. With your intelligence, Mr. Qin, even if you kill someone, you will never leave such obvious clues."
Qin Wenyuan sighed, "Even if no clues were left, I was not the one who killed him. I, Mr. Qin, am so glorious that I don't even bother to vent my anger with murder."
When Zhao Xianye saw Qin Wenyuan like this, the cold wind whizzed behind his neck.
Only then did I remember that the Lord in front of me was the one who truly solved the locust plague and saved thousands of people in Chang'an City!
Zhao Xianye nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Mr. Qin would not do such a thing, but now..."
He was a little embarrassed, "Many clues prove that Mr. Qin really went to Du Mansion this morning, and..."
"And what? Don't hesitate."
Zhao Xianye took a deep breath and said, "Besides, before he died, the deceased left information about the murderer. That information also points directly to you, Mr. Qin."
"So Mr. Qin, you have become the biggest suspect now!"
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed and his face became serious.
Du Linli died after a conflict with himself, and the clues pointed directly to him.
If before, I was only 90% sure that someone was framing me, now I am 100% certain.
His eyes flickered, and then he looked at Mr. Zhao and said, "Sir Zhao, please take me, Mr. Qin, to the crime scene."
"I want to see what kind of clues there are that will lead me, Qin, to lie down at home and cause trouble to come from the sky!"
Qin Wenyuan didn't even change his clothes this time. He just followed Zhao Xianye and others to the Du Mansion in casual clothes.
This time, he was really serious.
He planned to catch this person who was targeting him with his own hands!
Although the matter this time was very big, Qin Wenyuan did not send anyone to inform his wife, and even blocked the person who informed him, just to avoid Changle from unnecessary worry.
…………
Du Mansion is located in the west of Chang'an City. The mansion is not big and there are not many people there.
After all, Du Linli is old and doesn't like making noise.
Therefore, there is only an old housekeeper and a cook taking care of it.
The cook has something to do at home these days and has been away for several days.
Therefore, the old housekeeper was the only one left running up and down the mansion.
Zhao Xianye introduced: "When the crime occurred, the old housekeeper happened to go out to buy things. By the time the old housekeeper came back, it was already afternoon."
"Then the housekeeper bought some food outside and wanted to deliver it to Du Linli. Who knew that after knocking for a long time, there was no response from the study door."
"The old housekeeper pushed the door open in confusion, only to see that his master had died in the study."
"Then the old housekeeper hurriedly went to report to the official, and we arrived here as soon as possible."
Qin Wenyuan walked while listening to Zhao Xianye introducing the case.
He thought about it carefully and said: "As you said, the old housekeeper was not at home when the crime occurred, so why did he confirm that I, Qin, came to Du Mansion and was the last one?"
Zhao Xianye looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Because the old housekeeper said that two greeting cards were sent over this morning. One is from Zhou Lu, the Minister of Rites, and the other is from you, Mr. Qin."
"Zhou Lu, the Minister of Rites, wants to come here before Mr. Qin, and after Zhou Lu leaves, the old housekeeper will go shopping."
"At that time, Du Linli also told the old housekeeper to leave a door open so that Mr. Qin could come directly."
"And when the old butler was leaving, he happened to meet Mr. Qin coming over. However, the old butler had already gone out and did not have time to say hello to Mr. Qin, but he was sure that it was you, Mr. Qin!"
"The whole morning, except Zhou Lu and Mr. Qin, no one else came to Du Mansion, and the time of Du Linli's death happened to be when Qin County Magistrate went there..."
"In addition, there was a death message left by Du Linli at the scene, so I had to go find Mr. Qin."
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes when he heard Zhao Xianye's words.
After a moment, he suddenly sneered.
"Mr. Zhao, it's interesting, it's interesting, this case is really interesting."
"I just took a nap at home, and the results were irrefutable, proving that I had been here. I even had a motive and a time to commit the crime, as well as all the witnesses and physical evidence..."
He looked at Zhao Xianye and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, let alone you, even I doubt whether I, Mr. Qin, really sleepwalked to the Du Mansion and killed Du Linli."
Zhao Xianye couldn't help but shudder when he heard Qin Wenyuan's sneer.
He smiled quickly and said: "Master Qin, please don't scare me."
Qin Wenyuan smiled, his eyes bright, "Mr. Zhao, I'm not scaring you, I really find it interesting."
"I, Mr. Qin, have solved many cases, but this is the first time I have been involved in a case. You said... can this not be interesting to me?"
Zhao Xianye doesn't find this interesting.
If this happened to him, Zhao Xianye would probably die of anxiety.
After all, the evidence is irrefutable. If you meet an unreliable official, you may be dead.
Qin Wenyuan, on the other hand, was eager to try.
This is perhaps the biggest difference between them.
While talking, the two finally arrived at Du Mansion.
At this time, some government officials from Jing Zhaoyi were already present in the Du Mansion, and the scene of the crime was protected by the government officials and was not damaged.
The only old housekeeper had a sad face at this time, and tears were shining in the corners of his eyes.
Obviously Du Linli's death had a great impact on him.
