After sending Xu Jian away, Eunuch Cao returned to the imperial court and told the matter without any concealment.
The Holy Father frowned after hearing this.
It is normal for Shan Shen to doubt anyone.
When the yamen handles a case, I don’t dare to doubt it, and I don’t dare to think too much about it. How can I solve the case?
Shan Shen has been in charge of Shuntian Mansion these years. Except for occasional situations, most of the time, he is very competent.
Such a seasoned official was suspected of being involved with Su Ke as soon as the case unfolded, which shows how bad his previous actions left the Shuntian Mansion.
As a father, Xu Guogong has a heavy responsibility to raise such a son.
Speaking of which, these officials’ sons and daughters in the capital recently...
The Zhu family has confiscated it, let’s not talk about it.
The girl raised by the Yunyang uncle’s house plotted against the Ning’an sisters one after another.
Liu Jing's son is also very shameless and his knowledge is a mess.
"I was thinking," the Holy Lord took a sip of tea and spoke to Duke Cao in a low voice, "If this is really done by that boy from Duke Xu's mansion, the sentence must be harsher and it will also serve as a warning to other Dukes and Dukes.
."
One by one, relying on the merits of their ancestors and inheriting the glory, they do nothing to help others!
If this continues, we will breed a bunch of dudes, what a shame!
Eunuch Cao's heart skipped a beat.
Your Majesty is going to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Throughout the afternoon, people in Shuntian Mansion were so busy that their feet never touched the floor.
Shan Shen was so busy investigating cases, promoting the placement of candidates, and the tasks that had to be completed before the year was already piled in front of him.
On the contrary, it makes Xu Jian extremely idle.
Xu Jian drank tea and took two bites of snacks, but still "doed his best" to share a little of the worries for Master Shan within the scope of his understanding. Only then did Shan Shen have time to stuff two hot buns for dinner.
, gulp down a bowl of hot soup, and listen to the reports from the people below.
And this case went smoother than Shan Shen expected.
The government officials found the horse and carriage shop.
When it comes to going out of town, the host may not be able to tell the truth, after all, the customer may not tell the truth.
But when it comes to transporting buckets, there are guys who come out and pour out the water.
"It's really wicked! We sent it back late yesterday. We saw that the horse was in good spirits and the car was driving normally, so we took the car and waited for it to be cleaned up early in the morning. Who knew that when we looked in the morning, we found that there was water in the car and ice on the bottom?
, the cold weather didn’t melt all night long, and the pillow was also frozen and hard! We quickly cleaned it up, almost delaying our business!”
Looking through the book again, I found that the person who rented the car was a young man named Bowie, who took his fingerprint.
According to the loan and return time, I asked the guard at the city gate and asked for some information.
As the New Year approaches, the city gates are asking strict questions.
Originally, renting a car out of the city would not attract anyone's attention. However, the driver of a rental carriage belonged to Duke Xu's family.
"We had a couple of quarrels before. The other person was a servant of the Duke's Mansion, and he was very arrogant. I remember his face. Yesterday I saw him driving a rented car, and he was secretly talking to him.
The joke goes that he committed a crime and was kicked out by the government, so he had to go to a carriage and horse racing business to make a living.
There was no one in the car, but there were several empty buckets. When the younger one asked, he said he went to the mountain to fetch water.
This is not surprising. The more sophisticated people in the city often go outside the city to get water from springs and streams.
But less than a quarter of an hour later, another carriage came out of the city from Duke Xu's residence, and in the carriage was their third son."
Shan Shen was so angry that he laughed after listening to the Yamen servant's reply.
It turned out to be Su Ke, he really hit the mark!
Although he had preconceptions, the investigation process was step-by-step. It was the testimony that brought out "Xu Guogong's Mansion", not his inducement.
You could say that Su Ke is very particular. He has a bunch of clues for people to catch, and he doesn’t even know how to tidy them up when changing cars.
You could say that he is not particular at all. He even knows how to change cars when he goes out of town!
Shan Shen thought for a while and asked the yamen officer: "Can you find Bao Wei? Let's ask more."
The government officials were in a very difficult position.
The capital is so big, how can I find it?
Xu Jian pondered for a while, and then suggested: "Go to the gambling houses in the West Street area and ask, maybe someone will recognize you."
When the yamen officer heard this, he looked at Shan Shen.
Shan Shen thought quickly and immediately understood Xu Jian's train of thought.
Half a year ago, where was Su Ke wandering around every day?
Connected to them, the busiest one is West Street.
When Su Ke hangs out with those men and women, where can the young man go to kill time?
Occasionally sit in a teahouse, but most of the time, it is definitely the gambling house that attracts young and ignorant boys.
If you have mixed up a lot, you will know some people from different religions, especially the same gamblers, and you can get things done by giving them money.
Sure enough, within half an hour, the yamen officer brought Bowie back.
"When the kids arrived, he was having a great time rolling dice inside. It was not difficult to find him!"
Shan Shen asked Bowie to take a fingerprint and compared it with the one brought back by the horse and carriage dealer. It was the same person.
"What did you borrow the car for yesterday?" Shan Shen asked.
Bowie looked careless: "Can't a villain borrow a car?"
Shan Shen had many things to do, and he was most annoyed by people like this who wasted his time, so he handed the person directly to the master: "After you finish asking, just give me the result."
"Let me ask for Master Shan," Xu Jian said. "With Master here, I'm not afraid of anyone saying that I asked for a confession randomly."
Shan Shen trusted Xu Jian very much and laughed off his joke.
The yamen servant took the person to the next door.
Xu Jian said: "Did you know that the car you borrowed was filled with dead people?"
The master's hand holding the pen shook.
Bowie trembled even more than his master: "What? Dead person? Impossible!"
"Why else would the Yamen want you?" Xu Jian said, "The car smells bad. Where did you put the dead person?"
Bowie shouted: "It's not me, little man, I don't have it! I borrowed the car for someone else!"
"You are so brave. You don't even know what other people use it for, so you dare to rent a car for them?" Xu Jian shook his head repeatedly.
Bowie cried with a sad face: "Oh, I didn't think too much about it! I thought he could pretend to be a little bitch and a wife at most, but who knew he would pretend to be a dead person! Or has he played it this time and killed people?"
Xu Jian continued to ask: "Who?"
"The errand boy working next to the Third Young Master in Duke Xu's Mansion is named Shi Jie. They all call him Shitou. He said that their Young Master wanted to borrow two cars and asked me to do him a favor. I gave him ten liang as a favor, so I borrowed them." Xu Jian listened to what he said and compiled a confession for him: "You met that man named 'Shitou' in the gambling house before. He asked you to help borrow a car for Young Master Su. You borrowed it yesterday and returned it yesterday.
Right?"
Bowie looked downcast: "Yes, that's what happened. The villain just borrowed the car for him and didn't know anything else."
The master looked at Bowie, then at Xu Jian, and wrote a confession on the paper without words.
The Duke of Guo still handles things neatly.
If Mr. Shan asked this question like this, old-fashioned people would write in several books and say that he was "unauthentic" and "unrefined".
