Jiang Chaoge walked towards the mansion of the Siche concubine.
As a member of the Ying clan, Si Che Shu Chang's Mansion is not far from the Prince of Zhou's Mansion, just on the same street.
However, after taking only a few steps, he felt that someone seemed to be following him behind him, and there were more than one wave of people.
With the ability of the Mo family, he was very sensitive to the tracking aura, but he had no intention of stopping it.
Because this is what he expected.
"In the Night Detective Division, there are mostly children from famous families, especially the Night Detective Division in the capital. When I met Mr. Di, how could the clan members not know that Ji Ruxue and I were already here? However, this is exactly what I want!
"
Jiang Chaoge raised the corner of his mouth and arrived at the mansion of the Siche concubine.
door.
The four black-armored guards looked solemnly.
Jiang Chaoge walked up and said to the guards: "Jiang Erlang, Tongqi of the Night Investigation Department, please see the commander of the carriage!"
"Night Reconnaissance Department?" The guard glanced at Jiang Chaoge's black night patrol clothes and frowned slightly: "What's Jiang Tongqi's job? Do you have any official documents from the Night Reconnaissance Department?"
"I have something important that I want to inform the commander of the carriage. Please let me know."
"That's it...then just wait!"
"good!"
The guard walked in.
About two-quarters of an hour later, a man who looked like a butler wearing a long robe came out.
"Are you Jiang Tongqi?"
"Exactly."
"Our master has no intention of meeting Jiang Tongqi. If Jiang Tongqi has official business, please just tell him. If nothing happens, please go back." The butler's attitude was a bit contemptuous.
Jiang Chaoge was not surprised. He just took out a letter from his arms and said calmly: "Give this letter to the commander of the carriage, and he will naturally meet me."
The butler's brows furrowed. Just as he was about to say something, he discovered...
There was also a banknote in the letter, not much, but twenty taels?
So, he nodded towards Jiang Chaoge: "Jiang Tongqi, please wait!"
…
In front of a pavilion inside the mansion gate.
A middle-aged man in a wide blue robe was sipping tea in front of the pavilion. He wore a silver crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist. His face was extremely calm.
At this moment, the housekeeper ran over.
"Master Hou, Jiang Tongqi sent a letter."
As the head of the Ying clan, Ying Lin also holds the title of marquis.
"Believe it?" Ying Lin had no intention of accepting the letter.
"Yes." The butler opened the letter, and then his face changed.
"What, what did you write?"
"There's only one sentence." After the butler finished speaking, he added: "The letter said... Chief Si Chai, don't you want to know how Ying Fei died?"
Ying Lin's hand holding the teacup stopped and he frowned slightly.
The housekeeper then asked again: "Master Marquis, do you want to invite him in for a meeting? After all, this matter is a matter of the Lexin Marquis Mansion and has no direct connection with our Siche Shuzhang Mansion. Let's listen to what he can say.
The Marquis can also weigh advancement and retreat."
"Well, let him come in."
"yes."
The butler nodded and left immediately.
Not long after.
Then he led Jiang Chaoge to the pavilion.
When Ying Lin saw Jiang Chaoge, he also pointed to the seat in front of him: "Jiang Tongqi, sit down."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Jiang Chaoge sat down.
"I heard that Jiang Tongqi also participated in killing the river god that day, but what do you know?" Ying Lin asked again.
"Can we have a cup of tea first?" Jiang Chaoge looked at the refreshments in front of him.
"Haha, of course."
then……
The two began to drink tea in the pavilion.
While drinking, Jiang Chaoge talked to Ying Lin: "The tea from Si Che Shu Chang's Mansion is really delicious..."
Ying Lin nodded.
Then, we talked about some irrelevant topics.
Ying Lin finally looked a little gloomy: "Jiang Tongqi came to visit at night, you won't just chat with me for tea, right?"
Jiang Chaoge ignored it and continued to speak: "Master Hou is a person who understands tea, so why not talk about tea? Although Master Hou's tea was slightly bitter when he first tasted it, after tasting it carefully, it was extremely sweet. It should be
Spring tea in March this year?”
"I didn't expect that a martial artist from Jiang Tongqi actually knew about tea?" Ying Lin was finally moved when he heard this: "This tea is indeed the spring tea in March."
Jiang Chaoge continued to speak.
After speaking for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Chaoge stood up and left.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ying Lin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask.
…
Jiang Chaoge left the chariot and concubine's mansion.
Soon, we arrived at the door of another mansion.
This mansion also belongs to the Ying clan, and is not far from the Si Che Shu Chief's Mansion.
So he asked to see him again.
Of course, it is no surprise that he was rejected by the other party again and was not allowed to enter.
There was no other way, so he wrote another letter.
In less than a moment.
He was invited in again.
…
This way.
Every once in a while, Jiang Chaoge would enter a mansion.
And when he came out of the fourth Ying clan's mansion and entered the fifth mansion in this way, he no longer needed to write a letter.
Because the other party seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as he saw him coming, he directly welcomed him in.
"Jiang Tongqi, please come in quickly, the master is waiting for you."
"Thank you."
…
In the mansion of Lexin Hou.
Ying Jin, dressed in purple clothes, was reading a book in the study.
His appearance is somewhat similar to that of Ying Fei, except that he is slightly fatter and has an obvious birthmark on his neck.
Of course, he doesn't look very good now.
Because, he has received rewards one after another... Jiang Erlang has entered the mansions of five Ying clan members in succession.
"Snapped!"
He dropped the book in his hand on the table.
"What the hell? A small copper flag can actually enter and exit the Ying clan's house freely?! What did he write in the letter to those people...what exactly did he write?"
Ying Jin was extremely confused.
Every time you are turned away, you only need to show a letter and you will be able to enter the house smoothly immediately.
Moreover, I stayed longer every time I entered the mansion.
From the first quarter of an hour, to the end...he didn't come out for half an hour.
What exactly was Jiang Erlang talking to them about?
Yingjin couldn't guess, but he really wanted to know.
Therefore, this night was destined to be a night where he could not sleep.
…
The time has come the next day.
Ying Jin left the mansion early and immediately arrived at the mansion of the Siche concubine.
He invited Ying Lin.
Although I didn't ask directly, the meaning was very clear.
"What on earth were the concubine Chang and Jiang Erlang talking about last night?"
Ying Lin didn't hide anything and said directly: "We just talked about some tea ceremony and nothing else. However, this Jiang Erlang actually understands tea very well, which surprised me a little."
"Talk about tea ceremony?" Ying Jin's expression kept changing.
A Tongqi from the Night Reconnaissance Department went to the house of the Chief of Si Chai at night to talk about the tea ceremony... Who would believe it?
Moreover, Ying Lin actually said that Jiang Erlang knew tea?
How can a vulgar martial artist understand tea?
Ying Jin didn't believe it even more, but whether he believed it or not, he could only hold back: "I heard that Jiang Erlang gave the Marquis a letter before he came in yesterday?"
"Well, that's the letter." Ying Lin nodded and threw out the letter on the desk.
Ying Jin took a look at the content of the letter.
His face changed again, because that's exactly what was written in the letter: "Chief Si Chai, don't you want to know how Ying Fei died?"
I gave you such a letter, but the conversation was about the tea ceremony?
…
Farewell to Yinglin.
Ying Jin went to the second mansion.
Then, he got almost the same answer.
"We didn't talk about anything. I was planting flowers when he came... He just talked about some flower planting techniques. Not to mention, he knows a lot about flowers."
Does he understand flowers? A vulgar martial artist understands flowers?
If Ying Jin hadn't been kind and tolerant, he would have wanted to rant.
"I heard there was a letter."
"There is a letter." The other party took out the letter and cursed at the same time: "My dear nephew, don't be suspicious. This Jiang Erlang has indeed not told me about the old Marquis."
Yingjin looked at the contents of the letter.
Sure enough, the content of the letter was exactly the same as the letter in the palace of the concubine.
Yingjin had no choice but to leave.
At the same time, I thought to myself: "Is this a strategy?"
If the other party hadn't said, "Jiang Erlang understands flowers," Ying Jin might have really believed it, but, can a martial artist... understand flowers?
So, he went to the third mansion.
This time it's even more outrageous.
What the other party said was...Jiang Erlang understands folk art!
Moreover, they played a short piece of music on the spot, which turned out to be something he had never heard before. Afterwards, the two chatted happily and stayed with Jiang Erlang to talk for a while.
Ying Jin felt confused.
…
Two days in a row.
The story of Jiang Erlang traveling around the capital has spread throughout the capital.
And the only place he didn't go...
It is the Lexin Hou Mansion.
…
On the third day.
Jiang Erlang returned to the Night Investigation Department to report, and Duke Di personally ordered him to be officially transferred to the capital.
And, he was promoted to - acting commander of the silver flag.
Although he is only acting as the heir...but it is equivalent to being promoted to a level.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Di Gong personally announced that Jiang Erlang will be responsible for the security coordination of the outer city's "Western District" in the next three days.
The west area of the outer city is exactly where Ruyifang is located.
…
It's late at night.
In the mansion of Lexin Hou.
Jiang Chaoge's separated soul has arrived at the Lexin Marquis Mansion.
All the "surface" preparations are done, and now the real show begins.
In the past few days, he seemed to be walking around other mansions, seemingly never coming to Lexinhou Mansion.
But in fact, one of his souls has been wandering around Lexinhou's mansion, and has basically figured out Yingjin's living habits, as well as the layout of Lexinhou's mansion.
At this time, Ying Jin was resting in the bedroom. However, he was not sleeping, but was sitting on a chair thinking about something.
In Yingjin's bedroom, you can easily see some ghost-repelling objects.
For example: there is an upside-down bronze mirror at the door, which is much larger than the ordinary Xuanyin mirror.
According to the observations of the past two days, at this time, Ying Jin will stay alone in the bedroom for a while, and no one will disturb him.
Jiang Chaoge ran to the upside-down bronze mirror and took a look.
There is no reaction from the mirror.
"I can't see any ghosts. This mirror... is really useless!"
However, in order to prevent the mirror from killing Ying Jin, he had no choice but to get rid of the mirror first.
Without looking any further, Jiang Chaoge directly used Yin Qi to condense a white robe on his body.
And then, he directly rolled it with Yin Qi, and the bronze mirror was rolled up until it flew up.
Ying Jin, who was sitting on the chair, was startled. He looked at the upside-down bronze mirror and opened his mouth. Before he could say anything more, an iron hook hooked his soul.
His soul... was drawn out by the Soul Hook Lock.
The upside-down bronze mirror fell to the ground.
"Ying Jin, your life span has expired, and I have come here to detain you to the underworld!"
"What?!" Ying Jin's soul was locked, and his face was extremely pale: "No, this is impossible... I am living well, how can I run out of life!"
He looked at the man in white in front of him in horror.
High hat.
There are three characters "Bai Wuchang" written on it.
Moreover, one of the opponent's hands was holding a soul-returning flag, and the other hand was holding a soul-catching lock.
It does look like an underworld costume.
Jiang Chaoge didn't waste any words, and pulled Ying Jin's soul away and walked out.
Ying Jin immediately became even more panicked: "Master Wu Chang... Master Wu Chang, have you arrested the wrong person? I am Ying Jin, and I am Lexin Hou Ying Jin!"
"The one I'm catching is you Ying Jin!" Jiang Chaoge replied.
"No, this is impossible..."
"What's impossible?" Jiang Chaoge locked Ying Jin tightly with a soul hook, and then said: "I remember clearly in the book of life and death, there will never be any mistakes."
"Book of Life and Death? No...I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Ying Jin shouted.
This happened so suddenly.
He still hasn't reacted yet.
You obviously didn't do anything, you just sat on the chair, and Bai Wuchang drew out your soul?
Then, he said that his life span was over, and no one could accept this.
After all, he wasn't sick or injured.
It's so good...why is it that your life is over?
Jiang Chaoge directly condensed Yin Qi into a book of life and death, and at the same time, he wrote Ying Jin's life on it according to his memories in the underworld.
Although this book of life and death is fake.
But the content above...is true!
He showed the book of life and death in front of Ying Jin: "Ying Jin, are there any deviations in what is recorded in this book of life and death?"
It is naturally against the rules to let "ghosts" read the Book of Life and Death.
Moreover, Bai Wuchang cannot have a book of life and death.
But Jiang Chaoge couldn't really take Ying Jin to the underworld, let alone find Lord Cui to judge him, so he could only take a risk.
"If it doesn't work, just beat back Ying Jin's soul and try again!"
…
Yingjin's condition at this time was obviously extremely poor.
Suddenly... died?
Whoever it was, it would be impossible to keep a clear mind.
He looked at Jiang Chao's life and death book almost instinctively, and then his eyes widened.
Because what is recorded above is exactly what happened in his life.
From the time he was born, to all the things he committed, and even the time he beat a person to death while drunk, they were all clearly recorded.
And few people know about this matter at all.
"No... it's impossible, my life span can't be exhausted!" Ying Jin still shouted, but his heart was already relaxed: "Master Wu Chang, let me go, please let me go!"
"Let you go? How?" Jiang Chaoge asked again: "Ying Jin, you have done all the bad things. You originally had more than sixty years to live, but now you have gone."
"No, it won't... No, I can't possibly use up all sixty years of my life. There must be a problem... There must be a problem." Ying Jin shook his head desperately.
"You said there is a problem? Well, Ben Wuchang asks you, is it true that what is recorded here is that you killed five young girls in the capital at the age of twenty-four?" Jiang Chaoge's face turned serious.
"Yes...it's true, but this matter...is not just my fault!"
"It's ridiculous. Is there anyone else forcing you to do it?"
"No, it's like this... That time I went to Beijing on behalf of my father, and my father asked me to make friends with several adults in my clan... In order to please them, I had to find some orphans..."
"Let me be clear, who are these adults? Where did you find those orphans? And after you killed them, how did you dispose of their bodies?"
"well……"
Ying Jin didn't dare to ask any more questions and started to tell the story according to Jiang Chaoge's request.
Jiang Chaoge blinked.
Things seemed to be easier than he thought?
Especially after Yingjin read "The Book of Life and Death", it seemed that he no longer had the heart to resist, and he answered whatever was asked, which can basically be said to be "honest and reliable".
Moreover, after careful questioning, Jiang Chaoge also received a lot of unexpected surprises.
There is indeed a connection between the clansmen.
More than just a connection...
Some things are even more exciting than that.
Of course, when Ying Jin told the story, he still tried his best to throw dirty water on others in the hope of mitigating his own guilt.
This is kind of instinctive.
Jiang Chaoge was not surprised. Of course, the evidence he needed was basically enough.
Then, he took out a whip - the soul-beating whip.
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will beat you to death!"
"ah?"
"Snapped!"
One whip down.
Ying Jin's face showed a hint of confusion.
Jiang Chaoge took out the soul-returning flag again and waved it towards Ying Jin.
Ying Jin's soul returned to his body.
He was still sitting in the chair with a dull expression.
Jiang Chaoge took advantage of this opportunity to hang the upside-down bronze mirror up again.
Waited for a while.
Ying Jin seemed to wake up. He touched his head and seemed to be recalling something: "What's going on? Did I fall asleep just now?"
He took a few steps around the room.
Finally, he shook his head and went back to the bed and lay down: "Nothing will happen to Yinglin... It's impossible, it shouldn't be possible, the worst is to kill the fish or destroy the net!"
Jiang Chaoge laughed.
"It seems that Xiaobai did not lie to me. He made the wrong hook... You can also use the soul-returning flag to fight back. No accident, Xiaobai should have done this a lot."
Next, is the final step.
Evidence collected.
…
In the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Ji Ruxue was playing chess with Heizi in her courtyard.
She is wearing a silk, snow-white dress today, with a fairy-like air, and coupled with her beautiful face, it is impossible not to move.
Just then, a head poked out of the wall.
Jiang Chaoge looked at Ji Ruxue in the courtyard and shouted: "Miss Ji, if I say that I guessed the evidence of Ying Jin's crime, would you believe it?"
Ji Ruxue, who was not sleepy, raised her head and looked at Jiang Chaoge, then nodded slightly: "Guessed it?"
"yes!"
"good."
Ji Ruxue nodded and put away the chessboard.
Then, she jumped directly towards Jiang Chaoge's position.
White clothes are better than snow.
Just like an immortal from heaven descending to earth.
Jiang Chaoge immediately jumped down from the wall.
Ji Ruxue found a place to sit down and said, "Erlang has made the clan water quite muddy in the past few days."
"It's easy to fish in troubled waters." Jiang Chaoge smiled and sat next to Ji Ruxue.
Ji Ruxue did not object, but continued: "Did you get any clues from the clan members?"
"Miss Ji, don't worry about where I got the clues. The key now is to collect the evidence immediately. Tomorrow afternoon Ying Linke will convene a gathering of clan members at Ruyifang."
"Okay, tell me, how to collect it?"
"The most recent piece of evidence is located at..."
Jiang Chaoge began to tell.
Knowing the relationship between the clansmen, Jiang Chaoge would naturally not naively think that the clansmen would sell Yingjin away without sufficient evidence.
There is only the last half day left.
If you want to collect all these evidences, the best way is to find Ji Ruxue.
Moreover, we can only find Ji Ruxue.
The reason is very simple. Jiang Chaoge cannot handle this case alone. Only Di Gong and Ji Ruxue can resist.
"These are all your guesses?" After hearing Jiang Chaoge's words, Ji Ruxue's face was obviously a little strange. She once again felt the charm of... guessing.
"Yes, I guessed it all. If I can find evidence there, it proves that I guessed right. Otherwise, it means I guessed wrong. I will let Mr. Dee make arrangements then."
"Okay!" Ji Ruxue didn't ask any more questions.
Time is running out.
She did not pursue the matter further because she had to take action overnight.
Jiang Chaoge then reminded again: "There are spies all around the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As soon as I go out, I am followed by many people. Miss Ji should have a way to get rid of them, right?"
"Oh, of course!"
Ji Ruxue smiled and jumped back.
Jiang Chaoge began to prepare his own affairs.
After all, there will be a "ghost" entering the venue tomorrow afternoon.
Ghosts...
Of course it was provided by Judge Dee.
It's just that some means are needed to adjust it a little bit.
…
The next day, early morning.
Beijing, a dock in the suburbs.
Jiang Yuer has already disembarked the ship with Cai Wenji, Liang Wan'er, Liu Hongyi and others.
On the pier, there are many passenger ships coming and going, especially the figures of intellectuals and talents, who are constantly shuttling back and forth.
"It seems the rumors are true." Liu Hongyi said.
"Well, with so many people gathering in the capital, the special recruitment ceremony for Jixia Academy is certainly true!" Li Zeguang also nodded after hearing this.
"Didn't Brother Jiang ask about the Ruyi Fang in the capital along the way?" After Tang Jiezhi finished speaking, he added: "My father has some friendship with the head of Ruyi Fang. Why don't I let my younger brother serve as the host in this Ruyi Fang in the evening?"
Brother, how about setting up a reception banquet?"
"Isn't it too much trouble? Why don't you change it somewhere else?" Jiang Yu'er gave in.
"Brother Jiang, what do you mean by this? When you invited me to come to Beijing on the same boat, I didn't delay at all. Now that I invite Brother Jiang to the banquet, why do you want to shirk it?" Tang Jiezhi looked a little unhappy.
"Brother Tang, don't be angry. If you are like this, you will be disrespectful!"
"Hahaha, I've asked someone to bring a few horses over." Tang Jiezhi smiled and pointed to the distance: "Here it comes, right there!"
Jiang Yuer looked over.
Sure enough, several carriages were already waiting there.
Having many friends... is good!
So, a group of several people took three carriages, took the maids and entourage, and headed from the pier on the outskirts of Beijing to Ruyifang in the capital.
There was smoke and dust all over the place.
(This chapter is a supplement to yesterday's chapter. Because of Kawen, I haven't finished it until now. I have revised three versions in total. The first two are not satisfactory, so they have not been published. There is another chapter tonight, but it will be very late.
You can watch it tomorrow morning!)
