Because it was known that Mr. Wei, who studied in the Jia family, was Mr. Qi, the lady's lover, Jia Huan was afraid that he would be silenced, so he did not dare to wait for a moment to rush to Xiaohuazhi Lane. When he was reading at midnight, Jia Xu went out again, so he hurriedly reported the matter He hurriedly told Shi Li and said, "I'm thinking about arresting him tonight for questioning."
Shi Li nodded and said: "It's sooner rather than later. Many people are investigating this matter. Do you know where he lives?"
Jia Huan said: "I asked the boy who followed Lan'er to study at home, and it happened to be at the other end of Ningrong Street." He quickly told Shi Li the address.
Shi Li said: "It's not far, just wait here." Then he pulled the horse and went out. Jia Huan then waited honestly in the courtyard, looked for a tea stove, went out to make tea, and looked for two more in the house. Plate dessert.
Less than half an hour later, Shi Li came back. There was a man riding behind the Ma'an Bridge. He was obviously knocked unconscious. Shi Li pointed at the man and said, "Look at his appearance, okay?"
Jia Huan looked at it, nodded and said, "I went to my home school and saw him in the early years, but I didn't remember his appearance. It's Mr. Wei who is right."
Shi Li raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Master Wu has something to do tonight and won't be back so soon. It's just the two of us."
Jia Huan said regretfully: "It's a pity that Cong'er is not here. He has many evil ideas, which must be fun."
Shi Li said: "Nothing, it was very easy for me to interrogate that female gentleman last time. I frightened them all into confessing."
So he moved Mr. Wei into an empty room at the back. When Jia Huan took a look, he found that the room was really empty, with nothing in it. Even the beams in the room were painted white, and the curtains were also white. There was also a pair of extremely high ceilings. A white chair was placed against the wall. He casually dropped Mr. Wei on the ground, and Shi Li said: "It's cold in spring right now, and he will wake up soon."
Nai locked the door, dragged Jia Huan into his room, found a set of white clothes for him to put on, changed into black clothes himself, and handed him a mask and a hat.
Jia Huan laughed when he saw it: "But it was stolen from the troupe, wasn't it?"
Shi Li glanced at him: "Mo Xiao, you are Bai Wuchang Xie Ye now." He also put on a mask and hat, and the two of them immediately became Bai Wuchang. He asked again, "Can you act?"
Jia Huan hummed: "I coaxed a lot of bandits when I was acting. But your clothes don't look like them."
Shi Li said: "That's enough for the timid ones. No matter how much you pretend to be bold, you won't be scared. On the contrary, it's because you're too fat that you don't look like it." Jia Huan snorted again.
Shi Li picked up a small rattan box from somewhere and returned to the outside of the house. He opened the door and went in. He took out a pair of white candles from the window sill and said, "I didn't finish lighting them last time." He lit the pair of white candles. He came and placed the box between the candles. He opened it and took out the contents and neatly stacked them on top of the box. They were four gold ingots and four silver ingots. Shi Li sat on a chair first. Because the chair was in contact with the wall The color is generally the same, but if you look closely, it looks a bit like it is hanging in the air. Jia Huan stretched out his arms and legs, climbed up on the chair and sat down.
After sitting for a while, Mr. Wei woke up. He touched the back of his head and looked around a few times. Suddenly he saw the two of them sitting high up. He was so frightened that he screamed and shrank hard into the corner. The two of them remained silent. After waiting for half a day, Mr. Wei still held his head and didn't move. Shi Li asked, "Is that person's surname Wei?"
Mr. Wei said in a trembling voice: "My late-born surname is Wei."
Shi Li said: "Today, a female ghost who died unjustly filed a lawsuit against you, saying that you abducted a good girl and killed her to silence her."
Mr. Wei hurriedly shouted: "What an injustice! Wan Sheng never recognized any woman."
Shi Li said: "Wei Sheng had a strange idea and abducted civilian girls. He bought her after his scheme failed. If he kills someone, he must pay with his life."
Mr. Wei knelt down and came forward: "I was wronged late in life. I have never done anything to buy or murder someone."
Shi Li said: "Anyway, let's go to the underworld first." Suddenly he waved his hand and pulled out a silver chain from his sleeve, and wrapped it around Mr. Wei's neck with a "snap". He pulled it again, and Mr. Wei was immediately breathless.
Mr. Wei rolled his eyes and shouted: "I'll move..."
Shi Li shook his hand again and retracted the silver chain.
Mr. Wei sat on the ground and took a breath for a long time, then said: "Wan Sheng really has never killed anyone."
Shi Li remained silent and just shook the silver chain.
Mr. Wei shed tears and said, "The one who died was my late-born fiancée."
Shi Li then made several circles on the silver chain.
Mr. Wei choked with sobs and kowtowed: "It is unjust that my fiancée who was born late died and died. I hope these two immortals will avenge her death."
Shi Li swung the silver chain around his neck again, and Mr. Wei hurriedly shouted: "I'll do it, I'll do it!" Shi Li stopped, but the silver chain was still around his neck. He said, "It's the Crown Prince of Yan."
." The silver chain immediately tightened. He hissed again, but it was only slightly loosened around his neck.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "You two are obviously not black and white. May I ask who they are."
Jia Huan said casually: "Black and white evil spirits."
Mr. Wei asked again: "May I ask who is above you two?"
Just when Shi Li was about to speak, Jia Huan rushed to say, "It's gold ingot and silver ingot, sir." Mr. Wei laughed dumbly.
Seeing his eyes rolling around, Jia Huan jumped off the chair and said, "It's obvious that he can't tell the truth. It was a waste of effort to catch him at night. Let's kill him."
The silver chain was pulled away, swung around the ingot, and then back around his neck.
Mr. Wei hurriedly said: "I tell the truth, I swear..." However, he was choked by the silver chain so that he could not finish his sentence. His limbs were struggling wildly. Seeing that the stranglehold was getting tighter, he tried his best to grab the chain around his neck and pull it.
He relaxed and called out four words, "Brother Jinxiang's Mansion."
Shi Li withdrew his strength a little, but Jia Huan turned around and sat back on the chair. Mr. Wei coughed for a long time, touched the chain around his neck, looked at the eight dazzling ingots on the box, and decided to do it.
About half a year after he went to Jia's home to study and teach, someone offered him a large sum of money to inquire about Ning Rong's second mansion. When he didn't agree, the man left. A few months later, he came again, and the money had gone through the roof.
The husband still didn't answer. Unexpectedly, not long after, he went out and got drunk. He accidentally pushed someone else, and the person fell down the stairs and died. What should he do with such a big trouble? He was thinking about Yuanchun in his heart.
, did not dare to let the Rongguo Mansion know about it, so he agreed to ask someone for him to inquire about the scattered and unimportant matters in their mansion, and the man helped him to settle the lawsuit. After Yuanchun went south, it was obvious that he had no more thoughts, so Mr. Wei was resentful because of his love, so he devoted himself to him.
He went to the other end and really wanted to find out the news for them. During the chaos in the capital, he only said that he felt uneasy and asked Jia Lan whether Jia Huan's face was good.
He was so surprised that he gave him an extra reward. Later, he happened to see his informant on the street. He secretly thought about it and followed the person all the way, but he entered the back corner gate of Jinxiang Bofu. Mr. Wei thought he had something in his heart.
At the end of the day, just when he was about to go back, he was caught by others.
After being dragged into Uncle Jinxiang's house and locked up for a short time, his informant came over to look at him and shook his head repeatedly. After waiting for another half day, the informant came back and said: "I think you are a talent. Please remember this in the future.
Be so curious." Soon he was promoted. It wasn't until the autumn of last year that his superiors ordered him to hook up with the female gentleman.
After hearing this, Jia Huan asked: "Why did you frame Prince Yan just now?"
Mr. Wei said: "Wansheng is telling the truth. Jinxiang Bofu secretly joined the prince's family."
Jia Huan sneered: "Are you kidding me? Mr. Han doesn't even like King Yan."
Mr. Wei said: "The King of Yan is too smart and has many talented people under his command. He is not as good as the prince, but he has a long future."
Jia Huan and Shi Li looked at each other, and Shi Li asked: "Where did the music you played for your fiancée come from?"
"I gave it to you from above," said Mr. Wei, "so that Master Huan of Rongguo Mansion can check it out."
"Is it the one composed by His Highness the Second Highness?"
Mr. Wei said: "That song was not composed by His Highness the Second Highness, but by a singer. Although Mr. Su's daughter is a little girl, she is very tight. When he lived in Rongguo Mansion that year, Mr. Su was trapped in the imperial palace.
Ling, she forced the third master to go around her, and insisted on saving her grandfather. It was obviously the eyes of the two third masters. The girls in Rongguo Mansion are all outstanding and visionary, and Miss Su must not be easy to bully.
The fiancée is quite stupid, and it only takes a few words to make Miss Su alert. How dare she tell Master Su about such things? She was designated to tell Mr. Huan first. Mr. Huan is a well-rounded person, and he will definitely ask for that piece of music.
It was rare that he would seek help from shopkeeper Qin San in the west of the city. As luck would have it, shopkeeper Qin San had a capable man named Ding, who was an old friend of the singer. He had heard this song many years ago and had an excellent memory.
.”
Jia Huan frowned under the mask: "If that's the case, why did you kill the singer and her men? Wouldn't it be better to let them testify?"
Mr. Wei said: "When a singer says that she composed the music, does that mean she did it? What if she learned it by chance by listening to His Highness the Second Highness play the piano? The music is both free and easy and desolate, without any aura of worldliness.
I'm afraid others won't believe her. Now that she and her husband are dead, it's obvious that they are silenced. If they are not guilty, why should they be silenced? The Rongguo Mansion got Master Ding's letter and went to investigate the singer, and found out that they were both dead.
It was unusual. At that moment, someone was able to bring out the Second Highness. The relationship between the Rongguo Mansion and the Second Highness was forged. However, their family was the least afraid of provoking Lou Zi. Needless to say, the matter was destined to be brought directly to the prince.
How can the prince spare him lightly? Moreover, the third master in the capital of Rongguo Mansion has a better temperament, but the third master in the south is not willing to suffer losses. After he has gained the trust, he will send people back to the capital to implement the plan.
It will take several months no matter what. The prince has already neglected His Highness the Second Highness, and the Lou family will definitely abandon him. It is very easy for him to succeed. Regardless of the outcome, all the benefits will be obtained by His Highness the Prince."
Jia Huan nodded and said: "The general strategy is good. But things have changed now. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, King Yan ordered the Second Prince to be sent to the outside of the city to draw a ground as a prison. Why don't you stop?"
Mr. Wei said: "It's just that he offended Lin Hai and Jia Cong and hooked up with a few people. It's all a trivial matter. They are ministers and the prince is the king. It didn't take long before the princess persuaded him to write a few more poems and articles and cry. Naturally,
He who can return home must learn to behave well next time, and it will be difficult to touch him again."
Jia Huanqi asked: "Is your strategy more useful than this? Even King Yan, who plays the piano upwind of the Su family, knows about it."
Mr. Wei said: "It doesn't matter how much you play the piano, what matters is the music. When the prince was a child, the emperor had secretly appropriated many poems and articles. When he learned that His Highness had stolen the songs of the singer and passed them off as his own, it touched the resentment in his heart, and he was completely satisfied."
It chilled him."
Jia Huan nodded: "I'm afraid you may cause trouble and kill your fiancée."
Mr. Wei said sadly: "She was not killed by us. We are still investigating."
Jia Huan said: "It's obvious that you won't marry her, so aren't you afraid that she will scare you out?"
Mr. Wei smiled bitterly and said: "The higher-ups did want to silence us, but someone was one step ahead of us. And she shouldn't have frightened the horse and died. Instead, she was shot to death with a dart during a fight in the street. Four years ago
There was a piano girl in Yihongyuan who died after being frightened by the horse. Her death will arouse suspicion in the Rongguo Mansion again."
Jia Huan said: "You killed that Qin girl."
Mr. Wei nodded and said: "She was so smart that she noticed one of our spies and had to deal with it in a hurry."
"Spy?"
Mr. Wei said: "That's the singer."
Jia Huan asked: "You dedicated the music composed by yourself to His Highness, why didn't you silence it earlier?"
Mr. Wei said: "At that time, we were just helping His Highness find music, and we were not prepared to recognize it." After a moment, he added, "His Second Highness was very smart that day, but he was also greedy. He was easier to control than the Crown Prince. And there were some
It is easier for the princess to help than to help the prince. Unexpectedly, last autumn we suddenly got the idea that this man was actually a foolish master and could not help Adou. He hurriedly turned around to help the prince instead."
Jia Huan shook his head and said: "So you have people around the two sons of King Yan."
Mr. Wei said: "I really don't know which one is the real dragon."
"In your opinion, King Yan will surely conquer the world?"
Mr. Wei said: "Not necessarily. I'm afraid the world will have to be divided for a few years. None of the princes are weak."
Jia Huan nodded: "Guess who we are from."
Mr. Wei said: "I don't know who belongs to the prince."
"How can I see it?"
Mr. Wei pointed to the eight gold and silver ingots and said, "If they were from King Yan, why would they need to prepare those?"
Jia Huan couldn't help stroking his hands: "He is a smart man."
Mr. Wei said with a smile: "Anyway, Wansheng is only following Jinxiang House for money. The two adults are obviously more generous than them."
Jia Huan then jumped off the chair and said, "Since he is a smart man, my brother will take care of it." He opened the door and walked away.
Shi Li watched for a long time, and then slowly began to interrogate him. Mr. Wei was looking forward to getting more wages, and he hired people quickly. The interrogation lasted until daybreak, and Shi Li felt a little tired.
, then he swung the silver chain and knocked him unconscious.
When he put Mr. Wei into the cellar and evacuated, he saw Jia Huan lying in the hall asleep. Shi Linai pushed him awake and complained: "I knew I was interrogating people, but I didn't take care of the courtyard."
Jia Huan rubbed his eyes and said, "How much better are you in martial arts than me? What's the use of me taking care of you? Hey, by the way, did you kill that female gentleman?"
Shi Li glanced at him: "Why did we kill him?"
"Isn't it you who they killed? It can't be Situ Pan. He hasn't tried him yet." Jia Huan stretched his waist and said, "Oh, Ding Ming is one of theirs too."
"Um?"
Jia Huan said: "If Third Aunt sister helps me look up the music, she may not tell Ding Ming to do it, or who she will tell it to. She has many people and things under her, and Ding Ming is still busy, so it is very likely that he will not tell her at all.
He couldn't hear the song, and even if he heard it, he might not be able to recall that he had heard it himself. Because since the song was given to Situ Yu, and they were not prepared to take it back at that time, the most important thing was that the singer could not play it again.
So even if Ding Ming has heard it, he has only heard it once or twice. He has been separated from the singer for several years, but he can still remember what music she played? "
Shi Li nodded and said: "Unless Ding Ming himself is one of theirs, he can listen to this piece of music deliberately, and then say, 'It seems like I have heard it before, but I can't think of it', and I will remember it in two days."
Jia Huan said: "At first we thought that the singer wanted to find out about Qin Sangu from Ding Ming. Now it seems that they are interested in Ding Ming and want to conquer him, so they ordered the singer to find out about his preferences and weaknesses so that they can hook up. Song
Ji and Ding Ming later became a team. Since Mr. Wei didn't know that he and Ding Ming were colleagues, Ding Ming and the singer probably didn't know each other either. Because the singer said that our piano lady noticed her identity and had her killed.
Qin Niang, Yihongyuan will conduct a detailed investigation. I am afraid that we will find some clues to implicate Ding Ming, so they asked the singer to break up with Ding Ming. They did not want to make it too obvious, so it took half a year to break up."
Shi Li high-fived and said, "That's about it."
Jia Huan smiled and said, "My guess is good. The Eighth Prince is behind this matter."
Shi Li raised his eyes: "Eighth Prince? Prince of Jin?"
Jia Huan said: "Oh yes, there are some things I haven't had time to tell you yet." He then went on to talk about the results he and Zhu Tong and others speculated yesterday, and finally said, "Uncle Jinxiang himself is a member of the King of Jin. Besides,
How could the Han family know that the Supreme Emperor took advantage of King Yan by beating him up? Unless he was a brother who grew up with him, for example, the eighth child in their family."
After hearing this, Shi Li thought for a while, then clapped his hands and said, "It's easy to handle."
"ha?"
Shi Lixi said: "Someone can take the blame for killing Situ Yu, and we don't have to take the blame. The Jinxiang House can help us take the blame. Guess whose family it is?"
Jia Huan thought for a while and then clapped his hands and said: "In the past, Han Guang, the second master of Jinxiang House, died in the hands of the eldest prince, now King Lu. However, he was the son of the Supreme Emperor. Han Guang died in vain. The Han family must have hated King Lu.
of."
Shi Li smiled and said: "The couple of King Lu and Liu Tong have never been at ease, and they use some unscrupulous methods. Who will do it to them if not them?"
