It is said that two widowers from Liang and Jiang conducted an autopsy overnight. After looking at the body of Bai Lan, the courtesan from Xianyang, Jiang for a long time said, "How did she become an courtesan with such an appearance?"
Zhu Tong said: "Death is naturally different from living. You will look much better when you are alive. Don't there still be entertainers in courtesans?"
Jiang Wu said: "My subordinate said that she looked ordinary when she was alive. Even if she is proficient in playing, playing and singing, she should not be an oiran. Usually the more famous fans are prettier than her." He looked at the corpse a few more times, as if
Looking at a living person, he said, "You are fat. There is no such fat oiran."
Liu Shu looked on and muttered: "Xia Kui is not Xia Kui, and the oiran is not an oiran."
Zhu Tong frowned: "She is from Xianyang. The person who comes to ask for the body may not be reliable. I have to go to Xianyang tomorrow to find the escort who has seen her." He sighed, "Who is behind the scenes? I don't know how many layers are behind the scenes. I wanted to go to Xianyang tomorrow.
It doesn't look easy to step up and catch them off guard."
King Qin and several other adults also frowned. Master Chen said, "Have you checked the family of Bi?"
Zhu Wei said: "I've sent people there. But they must have cleaned up the whole thing, so it's hard to find any useful clues."
The room fell silent for a moment, except for the sound of two men performing an autopsy. After a long time, Liu Shu suddenly said: "Would you like to try your luck at Hualou?" Everyone was stunned. He explained, "Xianyang and Chang'an are so close, so there must be constant exchanges of people.
Quite a few. Those who love to go to flower houses in Xianyang also like to go to Chang'an flower houses. Hehe, it is the time when the flower houses are open. Send a few agents to change into the clothes of ordinary customers and go to a few larger brothels to show off.
Throat, who has ever seen Bai Lan, the oiran from Baihua Tower in Xianyang?"
Zhu Tong nodded and said, "You can give it a try." Then he sent a few smart government officials to several famous brothels in the city.
The two detectives re-examined the body and found that the woman had a thin callus on her right hand holding a pen. She must have been a literate person. Nothing else could be seen. It had been too long and it was impossible to determine the precise time of death.
Already.
After a while, someone came in from outside and said, "A brother is here with Miss Mei from Chunfeng Tower."
Zhu Tong and Liu Shu unconsciously glanced at each other. Liu Shu asked, "Is it possible that the fans are also familiar with each other?" Zhu Tong ordered them to come in.
The girl with eyebrows hurriedly walked in wearing a big cloak, and bowed to Zhu Wei with tears: "Master Zhu, the Nu family and Sister Bai Lan are close friends. Although they have never met, they have known each other for more than half a year. I heard that something unexpected happened to her.
, I want to see her."
Zhu Wei pointed at the female corpse and said, "That's Miss Bai Lan."
Miss Mei took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, approached the female corpse, and called "sister", her tears instantly rolled down like broken beads. After crying for a while, she suddenly stopped: "Is this...really Miss Bai Lan?"
?”
Zhu Tong moved: "Do you recognize it?"
Girl Mei shook her head: "I've never seen it before. But...she doesn't have pierced ears?"
Zhu Tong ran up to the female body and took a closer look: indeed, there were no pierced ears! He quickly asked, "Is it possible that she refused to have her ears pierced?"
Miss Mei said categorically: "No matter what their origins are, everyone who comes to our place will not fail to have their ears pierced. Although I have never seen Sister Bai Lan's appearance, this woman is definitely not a person in the building. Uncle Zhu just trust me."
"
Zhu Tong thought: "Ordinary women also have their ears pierced. Is there anyone who doesn't?"
"Then the slave family doesn't know."
Zhu Tong bowed to her and said, "Thank you, girl, for the advice."
Mei Mei smiled and said: "So, maybe Miss Bai Lan is still alive?"
"It can't be guaranteed."
Girl Mei put her hands together and recited the Buddha's name, then left. Zhu Wei ordered the painter to paint a portrait of the fake Bai Lan.
The jailer came in and replied: "Sir, the boy who confessed just now was shouting in the cell, saying that you agreed to let him go."
Zhu Wei laughed and said, "I forgot about him." Then he ordered the man to be taken to the lobby. Then he said to King Qin, "Your Majesty, I want to try the ability of the guardian upstairs in Fuyuntang Hall." King Qin nodded.
.
Everyone returned to the court. Not long after, the thug in brocade clothes also came. Zhu Wei ordered him to untie his iron shackles, pointed at Liu Shu and said: "It's easy to let you go. You only have one fight with my nephew, you
If you can win, he will let you go."
The nurse's eyes lit up: "Seriously?!"
"really."
Hu Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Shu for a moment. Chengzhu clasped his fists in his chest and said, "Master, please."
Liu Shu returned the courtesy, and the two of them fought together. Both of them were highly skilled in martial arts. They immediately played chess and met their opponents. They encountered good players. For a long time, they could not tell the winner. Zhu Wei took out his pocket watch and looked at it. He ordered two.
They stopped. Both of them still had unfinished thoughts and stared at each other.
Zhu Wei said: "It's already late. Aren't you afraid that I'll know about it? Let's go quickly."
The Jinyi nurse was stunned: "Sir, let me go?"
"I keep my word."
The nurse laughed twice and said to Liu Shu: "It's a pity that the winner is not decided. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away. We will never see you again!" and ran away.
Zhu Wei naturally sent someone to follow him secretly. Unexpectedly, the policeman came back after a while, and said dejectedly: "Sir, that man ran too fast, and I lost track of him."
Liu Shu said proudly: "It doesn't matter if you lose him, I know which family he belongs to."
Everyone was surprised and asked: "Which one?"
Liu Shu said: "The Gao family." Everyone was stunned. Liu Shu said, "When he fought with me just now, he was afraid that someone would recognize his family Kung Fu, so he specially used a set of Jia Family Boxing created by Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo." He heyed twice.
He said, "He thinks no one recognizes it? But I do! The Gao family and the Jia family are related by marriage, and Jia Cong is a very generous person. He doesn't care at all about teaching Jia Cong to his friends, let alone his brother-in-law. In addition to the Gao family, there are many other people in Chang'an City.
Who can learn Jiajia Quan?"
Everyone looked at each other for a long time. Zhu Wei stroked his beard and said: "The Gao family has strict rules and controls its children. No wonder he is not afraid of anything else. He is just afraid that his family will know." He thought for a while, "Nephew Liu Xian, you are tired.
without?"
"Good. Is there anything I can do for you, uncle?"
"Excuse me for having another martial arts contest." Zhu Wei said, "I want to try to see if this kid from the Gao family is the only one who is more powerful in martial arts, or if all the thugs in brocade clothes are more powerful in martial arts." Liu Shu readily agreed.
So he casually mentioned another guard in Jinyi to fight with Liu Shu in the hall, and he was indeed a master. Zhu Tong praised: "No wonder the one upstairs is wearing Jinyi."
After sending this man back to prison, Liu Shu said: "It's the right way in the military camp. This man is also a disciple of the general." Zhu Wei nodded slowly.
It was hard to find any other clues in the evening, and all that was left was to slowly interrogate the people of Fuyuntang and the Bi family. It was not peaceful from afternoon to evening, so everyone dispersed for the time being. King Qin hesitated for a moment and listed the list of gamblers from Fuyuntang.
He stuffed it into his sleeves without telling his uncle that his cousin's name was inside, nor did he tell Mr. Chen that his son and staff were inside. Look at that little appearance, he must not be able to sleep.
Zhu Tong returned to the courtyard and hurriedly told his daughter-in-law everything about the incident, while he was organizing his thoughts. After hearing what Miss Mei said, Liu Jing immediately said: "Women who become monks do not have their ears pierced." Zhu Tong was startled. Liu Jingdao said, "Didn't I work as a nun for a while? When I lived in the nunnery, there were also Taoist nuns who came to visit me. But all the nuns and Taoist nuns who became monks at a young age did not have their ears pierced - they did not wear earrings or earrings. They had their ears pierced. very?"
Zhu Tong clapped his hands and said: "That makes sense! Ah Jing, how do you differentiate between nuns and Taoists?"
Liu Jing thought for a moment and said, "The nun has a scar on her head."
Zhu Tong didn't care that he had just returned home and immediately returned to the Yamen. Together with Fu Zuo, he opened the woman's hair bun and took a look. Sure enough, there were several ring scars. After taking the bun apart, he discovered that the woman's hair was not long, only as long as his wife's hair. Halfway through, Zhu Tong nodded: This must be a sister-in-law who has just returned to secular life.
When they went back again, they saw Liu Shu gesticulating and talking to Liu Jing. Seeing that he was back, the brother and sister both said, "He's here! He's preparing to send a telegram to the capital."
Zhu Tong pulled up his chair and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all before saying, "I've got a rough idea."
Liu Shu immediately shouted: "Why didn't you say anything just now!"
Zhu Tong smiled and said, "How can you say that just now!" Nai Zheng said seriously, "The first person, Qiu Xingzheng. Send a telegram to the capital and ask SHIELD to find out which prince is ambitious and wants to seize the Qin Kingdom." He poured again. Have some tea.
Liu Shu patted the case: "Hurry up and finish!"
Zhu Tong said: "If we hadn't happened to wander to that end today, Qiu Xingzheng would have led the photographer to take many tragic photos of Xia Kui's murder scene. If his eldest brother hadn't reminded him, King Qin would naturally not have known that the photos should be taken by a coward. Waiting for trivial matters. At that time, Qiu Xing was talking in front of Mr. Yu Er, coaxing Mr. Yu and the prince to add jealousy to the description, and then used photos to show his face in front of the prince and show off his talent. The prince was young, and Qiu Xing was intervening in this case. Difficult. Naturally, he would not speak out immediately when he had an idea like I did. He would just investigate slowly, and finally found out with great pains: Fuyuntang not only failed to pay taxes, but was also a prostitute and openly engaged in bribery. According to today's The list of gamblers has caused chaos in the Qin officialdom."
Liu Shu twitched the corner of his mouth: "We also invited a group of generals' disciples to be thugs."
Zhu Tong continued: "Both the civil and military classes are in chaos. Fuyuntang is just a hook. I don't know how many people will be brought down by this case. The power will be freed up. Judging from the time when Qiu Xingzheng arrived in Chang'an, which prince should have met Yan Zhao and other countries in the federation were inspired and determined to follow suit."
Liu Shu had never thought of this and was stunned. After a long time, he suddenly cursed: "I know why Jia Cong insisted on me coming to Qin. I just said it, how can he not have anyone else on his hands?"
Zhu Tong laughed and said, "You just understand?"
Liu Jingqi said: "Isn't it because you two are relatives?"
"No." Zhu Tong said, "My brother-in-law is someone who has been here before. That guy is counting on my brother-in-law to persuade the King of Qin to join the gang. The world's disputes are never unreasonable. If you don't mess with others, there will always be many people who want to mess with you." Liu Shu snorted heavily. .
Liu Jing quickly interrupted: "Where is Mr. Bi?"
Zhu Tong said: "Let's push back in the opposite direction. We know that Xia Kui was arranged to come out of prison, and Qiu Xing just happened to go there to take pictures. It turns out that Qiu Xingzheng knew very well when Xia Kui would commit the murder. Going forward It is presumed that Qiu Xingzheng is in the same group as the person who arranged Xia Kui's escape from prison."
Liu Jingdao: "Qiu Xingzheng is also very aware of Xia Kui's martial arts."
Zhu Tong nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Qiu Xingzheng not only knows Xia Kui's martial arts, but also knows the martial arts of the eleven ordinary guards. He knows that Xia Kui is much better than them." He high-fived, "Qiu Xingzheng and Mr. Bi are in the same group.
.The person who died in Bi Mansion was not Mr. Bi, he was probably a substitute or something."
"Wait a minute!" Liu Shu couldn't wrap his mind around it, "Why are they two in the same group?"
Liu Jingdao: "Xia Kui was chosen by Mr. Bi. He had a rough temperament, worked as a bodyguard, and had excellent martial arts skills. The eleven dead nurses were also selected in advance, and their martial arts skills were much inferior to Xia Kui's. First, buy them with money.
The eleven, so agreed. Let Xia Kui ask the nursing staff who would like to go to Xianyang with him to pick up the goods. The eleven rushed to go. Then they got Xia Kui drunk in Bi Mansion and sent him off.
Go home and stuff half of a jade pendant into his house. Then the night patrol officers will come and arrest him while he is still awake."
Seeing that Liu Shu still didn't understand, Zhu Tong said: "Qiu Xingzheng just wants to take those photos, so he has to arrange all the above."
Liu Jingdao: "Then Fuyun Pavilion belongs to them too?"
Zhu Tong said: "Naturally."
"Why give up your wallet?"
"Where is their money bag? There is clearly a real master behind the scenes, and they only get a few salaries. With Mr. Bi helping the village, Qiu Xingzheng can't find out who the real master is? What a great achievement!" Zhu Tong smiled slightly.
, "Master Bi is a serious seller seeking glory."
Liu Jing nodded and glanced at her man: "They are acting in such a hurry. Xia Kuina's affairs are not very thorough. Could it be because the King of Qin has sent people to persuade you to become an official? If you come out of the mountain, I will do it."
Considering your past resume and uncle's official position, it will be difficult for Qiu Xingzheng to be promoted."
Zhu Tong smiled and said: "Maybe that's the case."
Liu Jing also smiled and said: "Seriously, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind."
Zhu Tong said: "The next question is: why do you want to kill a sister-in-law to pretend to be an oiran?"
Liu Jing said: "That sister-in-law also deliberately grew her hair for a while."
It was Liu Shuke's turn to speak: "Also, Xia Kui was robbed twice on his way back to Chang'an from Xianyang to pick up the goods."
"That's right. If it's just to send Xia Kui to the cell, there's no need for the two robbers." Zhu Tong thought, "Unless it's a real robber."
After being silent for a long time, Liu Shu suddenly said: "I have an idea! We can find out the origin of that sister-in-law."
Zhu Tong and his wife asked at the same time: "What method?"
Liu Shudao: "That Qiu Xingzheng put so much effort into causing a murder in the downtown area of Chang'an City just because the case was so big that Fuyuntang couldn't cover it up and the King of Qin had to investigate the case strictly. They could have killed someone.
The real fan came to frame Xia Kui and caused a series of incidents. But they brought in a sister-in-law. It took us a lot of effort to investigate because we didn't know the truth. Qiu Xingzheng knows the basics, so it will be easy for him to investigate. That sister-in-law is probably
Like Fuyuntang, it was also the lead that led the King of Qin to investigate illegal activities." He couldn't help but shook his head proudly, "Since we want to seize Qin, we must eradicate the original forces of Qin one by one. Let's just investigate Fuyuntang first.
.Finally, let’s see if there is anyone who can’t be implicated in Fuyuntang, but who has great power in the Qin State. That sister-in-law’s origin must be among them.”
Zhu Tong and Liu Jing looked at each other and applauded in unison: "Brother, you are so good at reasoning! We both admire you very much."
Liu Shu became more and more proud, cupped his hands and said: "It's just a small matter."
Liu Jing glanced at him: "We'll check again at that time, it's already dawn!"
