"Xiao family!" Yang Wenguang couldn't keep up with Han Qing's thoughts and blurted out doubtful words.
"I suspect that the body is not Xiao Huaien's at all. Only in this way can we explain why his clothes did not change color after falling into the water for five days. It can also explain why his wife suddenly withdrew the lawsuit. It can also explain why Shi Gandang ignored the death of his subordinate.
Don’t ask, and in turn try your best to prevent the Kaifeng Mansion from continuing to investigate the case!”
"Ah——" Yang Wenguang's eyes widened, and his mouth was so wide that he could stuff an egg into it.
If you change your perspective, the sky will be brighter.
Previously, he and his colleagues from the Northern Division of Kaifeng Prefecture identified the deceased as Xiao Huai'en. So faced with so many doubts, they could not figure out any clues.
And now, assuming that the deceased is not Xiao Huaien, the context of the entire case becomes clear in an instant!
Not long after the body was thrown into the water, the clothes would naturally not fade. And Shi Gandang knew that Xiao Huaien was still alive, so of course he would not rush to seek justice for him, and he did not want the Kaifeng Mansion to reveal the truth and bring Xiao Huaien back to life.
Put yourself in some kind of danger.
As for Xiao Huaien's wife, Xiao Wang, she previously thought that the deceased was her husband, so of course she would fight to the death with the suspect. But when she calmed down, she found that the body did not match her husband's name, or she learned that her husband was still alive, of course she did not
She would frame an "innocent person" whom she could not afford to offend, Huang Liang, the captain of the river patrol.
However, if Xiao Huaien is not dead, then who does the body fished out from Bianliang belong to?
Which force is it that makes Xiao Huaien not even dare to rely on the power of Pai'ansi, so he can only escape by pretending to die?
Qiuye Qingpao, for general disciples like me and Han Qing, is a commodity that can be purchased in dozens or eights. However, for the ordinary people in Bianliang City, the materials used for their clothes are still linen and Gebu.
For the main purpose, few people wear cotton clothes, and even fewer people are willing to spend half a month's wages to buy a piece of Qiuyeqing to follow the fashion. (Note: Cotton began to become popular on a large scale after Huang Daopo. In ancient times,
Chemistry is underdeveloped and dyes fade very easily.)
The deceased was also wearing Qiu Yeqing. I’m afraid his identity is definitely not that of an ordinary citizen?
Did Xiao Huaien kill him, or was the murderer someone else?
"If you are free tonight, we can secretly go to Xiao's house. Two or three months have passed since the case. I guess it's time for him to go home and take a look." As if he guessed what Yang Wenguang was thinking, he raised his hand to take a picture.
She touched his shoulders and suggested with a smile, "If we find him, many mysteries can be solved easily? Even if my guess is wrong, there must be other secrets hidden in his wife Xiao Wang's move to withdraw the lawsuit."
"Tonight, the two of us?" Yang Wenguang still hadn't completely recovered, and asked with a confused look on his face.
"Undercover visits should not disturb too many people. Also, since I have been sitting in Nansi for many days without going out, I also want to go out for a walk." Han Qing nodded and said smoothly.
"Brother, that's inappropriate! Even if Xiao Huai'en faked his death, his wife Xiao Wang is still considered a widow." Yang Wenguang realized that he had not expressed clearly just now, and hesitantly added, "The two of us..."
"What are you thinking about? How can you act like a moral gentleman at such a young age?" Han Qing raised her hand decisively and slapped Yang Wenguang on the neck.
"I'm not thinking too much, but I'm afraid of being caught and finding fault!" Yang Wenguang raised his hands to cover his neck, with a look of grievance on his face, "After all, this is Bianliang, and it's not as far away from the imperial city as it is locally.
What boring officials are staring at. But in Bianliang, dozens of officials have nothing to do all day long, just hoping to become famous in one battle. They can't afford to offend the real dignitaries. If they catch us, they will immediately act like they have heard of us.
They swarmed like flies with a fishy smell."
"Then bring Zhang Fan with you, and bring another brother with you. If there is a female head catcher, it's best to bring one too." Han Qing had to admit that Yang Wenguang's concerns were reasonable. After thinking about it, he quickly gave the answer
Solution. "If four or five people go together, they shouldn't be planning something evil!"
The absence of evidence does not mean that it did not happen. This kind of thing is not the exclusive preserve of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is also very common in the 21st century.
They were really accused of breaking into the widow's bedroom at night, two powerful officials in the Kaifeng Mansion. No matter how clear their consciences were, they and Yang Wenguang could not defend themselves.
"Except for the women's prison in Kaifeng Mansion, where there are a few fierce women taking care of it, there are no women anywhere else. How could there be a female head catcher?" Unable to stand Han Qing's whims, Yang Wenguang rolled his eyelids and responded in a low voice.
"Then, just find a brother who is reliable, has a strict mouth, and is quick with his hands and feet." Han Qing had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
At this time, he felt a little nostalgic and worried about Ye Qinglian.
Although the other party had made him suffer a lot, and there was an evil vibe from head to toe.
However, the other party is also really serious and reliable in what he does.
If Ye Qinglian were here today, he and Yang Wenguang would not have to take action at all. As long as he explains the mission, Ye Qinglian can follow his instructions and let Xiao Huaien see people alive and see his body dead!
Moreover, Ye Qinglian is a woman herself. Even if she breaks into Xiao Huaien's house in the middle of the night, she doesn't have to worry about being impeached by officials for misbehavior. She doesn't have to worry about any rumors.
It's a pity that Ye Qinglian is now in the hands of her master, and she has to take advantage of Yu Bolian's blind spots in knowledge to even deliver news to herself.
And her master, Yu Bolian, was her biggest shield. Without outside help to come to the door as soon as possible to save people, it would be impossible for her to escape from her master's control on her own.
"I secretly called Yang Xu here. He just happened to be idle and had nothing to do in the past few days." Just as he was thinking about what he should do to rescue Ye Qinglian at the minimum cost, he heard Yang Wenguang's suggestion again.
, "Even if he is really bitten by Yan Guan in the future, he is still someone outside the Kaifeng Mansion and is qualified to testify for us."
"That's fine!" Han Qing quickly regained her composure, smiled and nodded gently.
After he finished speaking, he immediately thought of the affairs of Yang Xu and Yang Wenguang. After a moment's hesitation, he asked in a low voice, "Have you and him sent the memorial? Can the officials agree to send a ship to transport grain, grass and food to Cangzhou from the sea?
Reinforcements?"
"The memorial has been sent up, and the map you helped draw, senior brother, has also been sent up." Yang Wenguang immediately stopped thinking about miscellaneous things, raised his hand, and replied in a low voice, "I heard from the elders that the official family
It has been left to Kou Zhun to arrange it. This time, I really want to thank my senior brother. If it weren’t for your guidance and map..."
"Since we are senior brothers, there is no need to be polite." Han Qing turned his body slightly and returned the salute.
"Then I won't talk nonsense. Senior brother, if you have any use for me in the future, just give me your orders." Yang Wenguang was not a shy person, so he extended his hand again and promised in a low voice.
"That's natural." Han Qing nodded with a smile, and then quickly turned the conversation back to the topic, "It's still early now, so I'll look through other cases. If junior brother is free, help make an appointment with Jiming.
Invite him to dinner tonight. Don't tell him what to do after dinner, there are many people around him."
"Understood!" Yang Xu agreed, turned and left. He walked to the door with one foot, but suddenly turned back and asked expectantly, "Brother, how did you guess that Xiao Huai'en was not dead? Judge Zhe,
Wang Yan and I actually put a lot of thought into this case in the first place, but we weren't as quick as you, senior brother, to read through the files."
"Nothing but familiarity!" Han Qing raised his head with a smile, his face full of calmness.
