Early the next morning, Dr. Xu took out two pieces of paper written by Liang Shangjunzi that were exactly the same as the evidence in the evidence depository. Mu Anzhi asked someone to take the evidence in the evidence depository and compared the two. Even the paper size was the same.
Quite the same.
Even though Mu Anzhi was mentally prepared, he was quite impressed, "Mr. Xu is really good at it."
Doctor Xu modestly said, "It's not worth mentioning. I have some experience in calligraphy and painting. In the past, I was often deceived when buying calligraphy and painting. I have studied it painstakingly and know a little bit about their fraud methods."
Du Changshi also took another look at Doctor Xu and thought to himself, this guy is quite capable. Hua Changshi tugged at his beard and said, "It's rare to do something so indistinguishable, with every stroke and charm imitating exactly the same."
Dr. Du Zheng disagreed and said to himself, this boy often collected money to write homework and essays for his classmates in his hometown college when he was a child. The teacher couldn't tell the authenticity of the words he wrote. In the past, this shameless guy even used to pay for travel expenses.
Fake calligraphy and painting are naturally beyond the reach of others.
Du Changshi said, "I have to ask Mr. Xu to keep this matter secret for the time being."
"This is natural, I understand." Xu Langzhong is also a member of the Ministry of Punishment.
Mu An said, "Old Zheng and Lao Du, one of you will go to Liu Sili's house and the other to Li Xuli's house, and visit their two families in person. There is no need to search, just see how their families are doing?"
After thinking for a while, Mu Anzhi continued to give instructions, "Lao Hua and Lao Duan, you two go to Zhu's house and the other to Zhu's grain store and visit for a while. Just tell them that there are clues to this case, so that they can rest assured."
The four of them all received their errands and went about their business. Xu Langzhong also resigned from Mu Anzhi and went to his own house as an errand. Bibusi had his own courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Sun Yuanwailang, the left servant, Mr. Cheng, waiting outside his house.
At this moment, Xu Langzhong's confidant Zhou Yuanwailang was also standing outside the house, so he knew that it was Shilang Cheng who was in his house.
Doctor Xu walked over and said hello to Mr. Sun with a smile, and said to Mr. Zhou, "If I don't ask Brother Sun to go to your house to drink tea, it's a cold day. It's okay to freeze you. Why don't you let Brother Sun freeze you?"
I feel bad."
Mr. Sun laughed softly and said, "Sir, please stop teasing me. We, sir, have been waiting for you to do your best." He opened the door and asked Dr. Xu to go in.
Mr. Xu always had a smile on his face. He entered the room and bowed to Mr. Cheng. He smiled and said, "My lord, if you have something to do, just call me. How dare you come in person?"
"I was about to go out for something, and I thought you were close here, so I came here by the way. You are always on time, why did you only arrive now?"
"Xiaguanyuan also came on time. I met His Highness the Third Highness in the morning. Aren't I from the same hometown as Lao Zheng? He is now working for His Highness. I went over and saluted, and by the way, I paid tribute to His Highness the Third Highness's demeanor and inquired about it for Your Excellency.
inquire about."
Mr. Xu had a smooth appearance. It was rare for him to have a refreshing appearance. Even though he was glib, he was not annoying. Mr. Cheng scolded him lightly, "How presumptuous. Did I ask you to go to His Highness the Third Prince to inquire?"
"No, no, I went voluntarily." Xu Langzhong said, "I see that His Highness is in high spirits today, and I think there will be great progress in the case."
"You should pay more attention. His Highness the Third Highness has a distinguished status. Don't take it seriously. If one day you make him unhappy, our ministry will not be able to save you."
Mr. Xu responded repeatedly, and Mr. Cheng said, "You are going to have a new member of staff here. I think he will come over in the next two days and let you know."
"Each department has two staff members and two foreign ministers. The lower official is fully staffed here."
"Your Majesty personally ordered it. It doesn't matter if there is one more. Isn't it better to share the burden for you?"
Doctor Xu didn't believe this and asked with a smile, "Why does a member of the Communist Party of China need to explain it to me in person? He is your relative?"
"If you want my relatives, I don't care about them."
"Who is he? Your Excellency, I would like to thank you very much if you give me some advice."
"I don't need to mention this. You will know it when the time comes. But I have to tell you first. He is the second son of the eldest princess's family. He is not old enough to be a servant. His Majesty has appointed him to our Criminal Department." Cheng
The waiter said.
"Oh, hey, I have to provide more for such a noble young man." Xu Langzhong complained, "Why don't you arrange it with His Highness the Third Highness? It would be better if they are royal relatives."
"It's getting more and more out of tune. Your Highness, the Third Highness, has such a personality. This Young Master Tang is the eldest princess's sweetheart. His Majesty's direct nephew must also be a delicate and noble son. If the two of them are together, if they get into a fight, we won't have to live.
." Mr. Cheng said, "You are the most clever person in our yamen. Anyway, you will support me when you come here. You don't understand this? If you want to win Mr. Tang's favor, I may have to rely on you in the future."
"I beg you, my lord. Why don't you do this job yourself?"
Mr. Cheng laughed a few times and said, "I don't have time to chat with you. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Just look at the arrangements and don't let Mr. Tang be wronged."
Mr. Xu saw Mr. Cheng out and walked all the way to the entrance of the courtyard before returning to his room. Mr. Zhou gave Mr. Xu his favorite drink, Biluochun. Mr. Xu took a sip and said, "In this case, you go make arrangements and ask Shu Lingshi to squeeze in.
I vacated the room next to Song Yuanwailang. Then I asked a few cleaners to clean it for me ten times. The green brick floor must be shiny and the house must be clean and new. Then go to the library to get it.
Some brand new desks, chairs and bookshelves. By the way, I found out the box of agarwood that I ransacked last time. I won’t sell it. I found a high-quality incense burner and smoked it for me for three days and three nights. The house was filled with smoke.
It smells delicious outside."
Zhou Yuanwailang asked, "Then what will be the rules for meals at Mr. Tang's house from now on?"
"Silly. With a status like Mr. Tang's, how can he eat the big pot of rice here? The food must be sent from the government." Mr. Xu explained before starting to deal with today's official business.
Du Changshi and Zheng Langzhong simply went with them. This time they did not copy anything. They mainly wanted to see if there were any abnormalities in the families of Liu Sili, Li Xuli. They had read the classics of these two people, and they were just ordinary people, from middle to lower classes.
Over in Anlefang, where officials and wealthy families lived together, the two families were not far apart.
It wasn't until they arrived at Anlefang that the two of them went their separate ways.
Du Changshi was born into a wealthy family, and his eldest brother was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although he and Du Shangshu were life-and-death rivals, this did not hinder Du Changshi's vision and knowledge. But even Du Changshi's knowledge had not changed since he entered Liu Sili
From the first step in the house, I felt that this small courtyard was well-kept. It has a square courtyard with bright and dark surfaces, a neat and clean water-polished blue brick floor, a clump of purple bamboo planted in the corner of the courtyard, and a few flowers and plants, which is just right and elegant.
.
Liu Xu, the eldest son of Liu Sili, is at home. It is common for a son to inherit his father's career among officials. That is to say, if I work as a minor official, my son will also work as a minor official in the Yamen. Generally, minor officials have no rank, such as the torture chamber of the imperial capital.
Secretary, on a tight mission, there is a lot of money.
Official Liu Xu politely invited Du Changshi to serve tea in his room. Du Changshi looked around. There was a dark cotton curtain hanging on the door. The walls of the room were whitewashed and kept neatly. There was a picture hanging on the wall of the main hall.
The painting of Songhe Yannian, the table was wiped clean and translucent, a little maid brought tea and fruit, and Liu Xu respectfully offered tea and fruit. Du Changshi said, "The main reason I came here today is to take a look at your house.
, I would also like to tell your family that Secretary Liu is now cooperating with the investigation at the Ministry of Justice. If your family has anything to report, it will be good for Mr. Liu to report it to the Ministry of Justice in advance."
"Sir, my father is really unjust!" Official Liu Xu cried out.
Du Changshi showed a thousand-year-old sneer, "Whether it is wronged or not, you know it in your heart. You thought this was just a small case passing through the imperial capital, but you didn't expect it to be so big, and you didn't expect the Zhu family to file a lawsuit.
When we went to the Criminal Department, even Chen Fuyin of the Imperial Capital Prefecture became a defendant. The stakes are high because your family has been serving as servants at the Yamen Gate for generations, so I don’t think I need to say more."
"But my father is really the one who was wronged."
Du Changshi stood up coldly and suddenly asked, "Isn't Ling Ci at home?"
"My mother is worried about my father's affairs and is not well. She is recovering at home."
When Du Changshi walked into the courtyard, he glanced meaningfully at the two closed west rooms of the Liu family. Liu Xu was sweating all over. Fortunately, Du Changshi didn't say anything and turned around to leave.
Doctor Zheng described him as a little embarrassed. Du Changshi glanced at his wrinkled and wet front, and Doctor Zheng said lightly, "I met a shrew."
Du Changshi expressed his understanding, "That's why I say we can't get married easily. It's unlucky for us to meet such a woman occasionally. If we marry such a bastard, we won't die in their hands."
Zheng Lang had Qi Qi in his heart, "Indeed, you can no longer marry an unvirtuous woman."
In the past, Du Changshi thought Mr. Zheng was rigid, and Mr. Zheng didn't like Du Changshi's fastidiousness. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of connection, which is strange to say.
Chief Hua Changshi Duan went to Zhu's house and listened to Mrs. Zhu complaining for a long time. Then he went to Zhu's shop and saw people from the Duke of Jin's mansion dragging Zhu Wan into the car. Fortunately, the car carrying Zhu Wan was empty.
Chief Duan was very worried about Zhu Wan's safety, and specifically told the people in the Duke's Palace of Jin, "If Zhu Juren has any bad intentions, I will be a witness."
When Chief Duan talked about this, he still lamented, "The scene in the Duke's Palace of Jin was like robbing people alive. I think Zhu Juren was also frightened by the group of servants who were like wolves and tigers."
"Don't worry, the Duke of Jin actually feels sorry for him." After thinking about it, Mu Anzhi knew that Li Yuhua was afraid that Li Yuhua had told the Duke of Jin's wife about Zhu Juren writing the property transfer document, and the Duke of Jin's palace couldn't hold back his anger.
."How is Mrs. Zhu now?"
Hua Changshi said, "I look good, but when I talk about the lawsuit, I lose my mind and feel like crying."
Director Duan said, "When I arrived at the Zhu family's grain store, Zhu Juren and Miss Zhu were both there. They looked at the cabinets in order and spoke neatly inside. If it hadn't been for the sudden arrival of the Duke of Jin, the store would have been prosperous.
."
Doctor Zheng asked, "Does Zhu Ju often go to the grain store with Miss Zhu?"
"I asked the waiter in the shop. In the past, Mr. Zhu went there less often when he was alive. Since Mr. Zhu left, Zhu Juren will go there with Miss Zhu from time to time. He doesn't care about the things in the shop.
Just sitting and reading." Mr. Duan, an old criminal, knew very well. "The Zhu family went there several times and had trouble with Miss Zhu. It was Zhu Juren who acted as the go-between to make peace. Later, the Zhu family members did not
Been there.”
Mu An's way is, "Let it go beforehand, loosen it on the outside and tighten it on the inside, and then talk about it in three days."
