In early spring, the wild geese are waiting north and the vegetation is budding.
Yuqian Si stood by the window, the night in front of him was as silent as the wind, and he could only hear the movement of the wind.
Touching her forehead with her hand, she reached out of the window to grab a handful of wind, hoping to disperse the noise in the room.
Behind him was Lin Shen, the magistrate of Nan'an County. He was not aware of the upset of the woman at the window and continued to talk to himself.
"...The first time I saw you solving a case two years ago, I knew you were definitely not a thing in the pool! How long has it been? In the Jiangnan murder case, everyone has been dead since the early winter of last year until now.
Eight people! Everyone in the court was at a loss, so they thought of throwing this hot potato to the punishment department. And you went to Yangzhou with the order, and the murderer was caught in just five days. When you return to court tomorrow, I think those old-fashioned
You guys, do you dare to make excuses about you being a woman again?"
Yu Qiansi knew very well that the person in the court who opposed him was not him at all, but the Duke of Qi behind him. As long as the Duke of Qi still existed, this matter would not stop. Lin Shen said this, just to comfort himself.
.
Looking far into the distance, she saw a bunch of lights jumping out of the hazy sea of light in the distance, heading towards the inn, walking quickly.
After closing the window, Yu Qiansi sat back at the table. She was going to Beijing tomorrow, but she still had unresolved matters, but she couldn't bear to brush off Lin Shen's kindness.
I had no choice but to ask: "There is a funeral in Yinshi at the Marquis of Guang'an. Tonight is a time of busy traffic and human exchanges. As the host, do you plan to spend your time here with me?"
Lin Shen chuckled and handed Yu Qiansi a cup of hot tea as if to please: "I know your habits. When you come to me after you return to Beijing to report on your work tomorrow, I will treat you to a nice drink."
Yu Qiansi knew that once Lin Shen started talking, he would not stop. He took the tea and waited for the rest.
"I am accompanying you today just to let those people know that you cannot be treated lightly! At dawn, you will leave the city and return to the capital, and I will attend the funeral ceremony. After the funeral ceremony, you will be rewarded by the Holy Spirit for catching the murderous signature case.
The news just happened to be reported back to Nan'an County, and then I can accept their courtesy in all glory."
Thinking of that wonderful scene, Lin Shen smiled again and said, "Maybe someone will connect me with the Duke of Qi. Then my future life will be much more comfortable!"
Yu Qiansi smiled and shook his head. Apart from the young master, Lin Shen was the only one in the world who dared to tell him anything straightforwardly.
I remembered a slight noise outside the door.
Lin Shen was curious: "Huh? It's already dark, who is so ignorant to bother you?"
"People from Guang'an Marquis Mansion."
Yu Qiansi put down the tea cup and leaned back to the window again, "You wanted to avoid trouble, but trouble found me. Things in this world make no sense."
Although Lin Shen didn't know anything, he didn't doubt Yu Qiansi's judgment at all. He just sighed: "How come you know everything?"
"Just now I saw people outside the courtyard of Guang'an Hou Mansion. It seemed that many people surrounded the courtyard. Tonight, Guang'an Hou Mansion should open the door to welcome people and send them off. There is no reason to surround the courtyard. But something happened to the Hou Mansion.
Instead of looking for you, I came to find me. Naturally, this is a private matter that cannot be brought to the fore, and Yuli Guan needs to take action."
Yuliguan is a small shop that Yuqiansi opened in the capital five years ago. From big and small mysteries to gold and silver thefts, Yuliguan can be sought for help. It is quite famous among the people in the capital. Even now Yuqiansi has become a
In charge of the punishment department, Si Yin, the Yuli Pavilion is still open to answer people's questions.
"It's okay, just find a way to kill it."
Lin Shen patted his chest carelessly, as if he was all wrapped up in me.
Yu Qiansi asked his subordinates to let him go, and an old steward pushed open the door and entered. Looking at his steps, it was the light he saw outside the window just now.
"The villain, Fuquan of the Marquis of Guang'an Mansion, has no choice but to harass the owner of the Jade Hall. He only obeys the authority because the matter is urgent and hopes that the owner of the Jade Hall can help my master solve a difficult problem."
"I really want the Yuli Pavilion to do something..." Lin Shen fell to the ground and began to find reasons to shirk: "Then just follow the Yuli Pavilion's requirements and line up."
Fuquan didn't expect that County Magistrate Lin was actually here, so he quickly saluted Lin Shen and said hello.
Then he replied respectfully: "That's why the matter is difficult to handle. There was a thief in the house tonight, and something was stolen from the wife and young master's room. But there were many guests tonight, so it was hard to catch the thief loudly. I heard that the owner of the Jade Hall was staying in Nan'an County tonight, so I
I want to ask the owner of the Jade Hall to help catch the thief."
Fuquan said as he handed over three things: "Madam, I heard that the owner of the Jade Hall was famous before, and she wanted to ask the owner of the Jade Hall to clarify an old matter. She had prepared two things in accordance with the requirements of the Jade Hall, but I didn't expect it.
He passed away suddenly, and this thing happened to be used here today."
Yu Qiansi just heard a lot of questions from his words, and planned to obey the young master's instructions and avoid causing trouble. But after just glancing at the Buddha's fortune stick, he noticed something unusual.
Fool me with fake ones? Interesting.
"Guangzhi," Yu Qiansi saw that Lin Shen was still going to talk, and signaled Lin Shen not to interrupt. Lin Shen immediately shut up and drank tea without saying anything.
Yu Qiansi asked: "When was it discovered? What was lost? A thief at home and a thief outside the house? Is it a man or a woman? What did you do after you discovered the theft?"
A series of questions may seem confusing, but in fact they are closely linked.
Fuquan was frightened when he heard this. He calmed down and did not dare to neglect at all.
"At the beginning of the night tonight, Madam discovered that her room had been robbed. A lot of gold and silver items were missing. The rest are okay, but two of them are a relic left by Madam's sister, and the other is an amber ornament worn by the young master, although it is not worth much.
Money, but very important. That’s why I had no choice but to ask the owner of the Jade Pavilion to help."
Having said this, Fuquan paused for a moment, seeing Yu Qiansi's eyes as bright as a torch, and his heart beating like a drum. Just then he heard Yu Qiansi calling Magistrate Lin by name, and Magistrate Lin only followed her orders, and suddenly he felt unsure.
, I wonder if Madam made the right move.
"The domestic thief and the foreign thief haven't learned yet..." Seeing Yu Qiansi raising her eyebrows and saying nothing, he just thought she was afraid of trouble, smashed her sign, and refused to go.
He finally bit the bullet and continued to throw bait, saying: "...But a maid was found unconscious in the courtyard. She should be a man."
Then he suddenly thought of something and added: "I heard from the servants in the mansion that there was indeed a suspicious man wandering outside the gate of the mansion recently. He was about eight feet tall. As soon as the case happened, my wife immediately asked the wife of Yongninghou Mansion to find him.
The servants surrounded the entire Villa, but did not dare to act rashly. At present, no guests have left the front hall, and no one has entered or left the entire Villa."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yu Qiansi walked forward and looked sarcastic when she saw the three things Fuquan was holding in his hands.
"Does your wife understand the rules of Yuli Pavilion?"
It sounded like Yu Qian was loose in his wantonness. Fuquan was secretly happy and quickly replied: "I understand, I understand. During the investigation process, you must obey the owner's instructions for the first time. After the matter is completed, just complete the third request."
According to the rules of the Yuli Pavilion, a Buddhist bead and a Buddha sign personally interpreted by Master Jingkong are eligible to go to the Yuli Pavilion to seek help. But there is something else in Fuquan's hand at the moment, which is a stack of silver notes, which seems to be a large amount.
Small.
Yu Qiansi said "Hmm", took the Buddhist beads and Buddhist sticks from Fuquan's hand and played with them, but the remaining banknotes were not touched at all.
How could an experienced person like Fuquan not understand the meaning of Yu Qiansi's move?
Only then did he belatedly remember Yu Qiansi's other identity - Si Yin, the Punishment Division known as "Jade Rakshasa". This little trick of his was really not on the stage, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Just as he was about to explain,
But was interrupted by Yu Qiansi.
"I'll take this case. I'll deal with other matters after I find the stolen items."
Yu Qian's emphasis was on the word "lost things", but no one else in the room noticed.
Lin Shen was completely confused at this moment. Didn't she agree to shirk the matter internally and externally? How could she suddenly agree?
Fuquan was shocked and overjoyed. He was surprised that he forgot the name of "Jade Rakshasa" because of his carelessness. Secondly, he was overjoyed. He didn't expect that she would agree to the matter so easily.
Yu Qiansi pointed to the empty chessboard and said, "Tell me about the layout here."
Fuquan did not dare to delay, so he placed the black and white chess pieces in the Bieyuan and explained the layout of the Bieyuan one by one.
"This villa is the private property of the old lady. She loved it very much and has been living in the villa since the year before last. Even if she suddenly died of illness, she left her last words to mourn here."
Seeing Yu Qiansi nodded to express his understanding, Fuquan pointed to the chessboard and continued: "There are five courtyards in Bieyuan. The first one to the south is the main hall. The fourth courtyard to the north is Fengtingyuan, which is the old lady's residence during her lifetime. Madam came here this time.
Come and live temporarily in Lanche Garden in the southwest..."
Lin Shen coughed dryly and reminded Yu Qiansi with a wink: "Yu Siyin will return to Beijing early tomorrow morning. Is it too late?"
After Yu Qiansi read the layout, he understood clearly in his heart. He didn't even look at Lin Shen, and just replied casually: "It's a small matter, it won't take long."
Seeing that she didn't understand, Lin Shen had no choice but to sit aside in frustration and watch Yu Qiansi's layout.
Yu Qiansi took out two chess pieces from the chess box and placed them calmly.
"If you want to avoid offending guests and find lost items, you only need two steps."
