Crossing the Ming Dynasty to be the magistrate

Chapter 62

Hearing what he said, Xu Jing was puzzled and asked, "Because Cheng Xun died in the county government, so you doubt it? In fact, although there are guards in the county government, if the assailant is skilled in martial arts, plus It’s not too difficult to kill someone with medicine.”

Wen Yu shook her head: "It's not just that, besides Cheng Xun and Yulan, according to what she said, she was molested by Cheng Xun alone at the gate of the yamen that day. If it wasn't someone from the county yamen, would anyone have noticed this early in the morning?"

Hearing what he said, Xu Jing also felt that it made sense, and then asked: "Then what should we do now? Where should we start the investigation."

Wen Yu thought for a moment, and replied: "Just now, Mr. Mao and I have sorted out the case temporarily, thinking that he will definitely start from Qiu Hong. In this way, we can check Tao Qi's line instead. I always thought Tao Qi's death was a bit strange, remember Yulan said she had a crush on her."

"But did you find that person?"

Wen Yu denied: "No, it's just that this is very strange. It stands to reason that Tao Qi, a boudoir lady who doesn't leave her home, has traces of her whereabouts, but we have searched all the possible sources. None of the men she had contact with were eligible."

Xu Jing frowned: "In this case, what should we do?"

Wen Yu said: "I don't believe that there is any perfect crime in this world. There must be something we haven't noticed. If it was really done by the White Lotus Sect this time, then their ultimate goal is still on me. If You guessed it right, the people behind it are planning to ruin my name, Wen, and my family, but they mistakenly think that Mao Lei is the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong, and now we are investigating the case together, I believe the murderer has already panicked."

Wen Yu was really angry this time. Even if he met the White Lotus Sect before, he always put himself in the posture of a bystander. After all, he had no personal experience of the White Lotus Sect doing evil, and only regarded him as a kind of feudalism. The resistance of the people at the bottom of society.However, he just ruined one of their plans, and now he is suffering this kind of revenge. It can be seen that no matter what dynasty or generation, the people of the cult are all equally insane.

Xu Jing comforted him: "Don't worry, I will investigate with you, Wen Qiong and the others will be fine."

On the other side, let’s talk about Zong’s letter. He received Wen Yu’s news when he was free. After learning that the matter was related to the White Lotus Sect, he cheered up. After all, this was his job.After communicating with Mao Lei, he agreed to join the investigation.

Based on Zong Yifeng's many years of experience, he has actually figured out some clues. The White Lotus Sect is nothing more than a few methods.So he first went to the prison to look for Wen Yulan, but the cell boss didn't dare to stop Jin Yiwei, so he quickly released him.

Wen Yulan was startled when she saw a young man walking in, and she calmed down after hearing him reveal her identity: "I don't know why your lord is here, but the little girl has already explained what she should explain." This was the first time she had told a stranger. The men are in the same room, so it is inevitable that they feel a little uncomfortable. I just want him to hurry up and leave after asking.

Zong Yiyi also saw it, so he said in a long way: "I mainly want Miss Wen to do me a little favor this time." Seeing the puzzled look on Wen Yulan's face, he continued: "I beg Miss Wen to play a play with me. .”

Wen Yulan was even more puzzled: "What play?"

Zong Yifeng turned sideways and explained a few words in a low voice.As Wen Yulan listened, her expression gradually became helpless: "Is this really possible? Why do I think it's useless..."

Zong Yi said with a smile: "Zong has dealt with those evildoers so many times, and he really knows what kind of virtue they are. The girl will definitely do as I say. What's more... I heard that Miss Wen's best friend this time was also punished. Don't you want to avenge her because of the trouble?" Zong Yiyi said with a little bewitching, he has worked in Jinyiwei for many years, he has seen all kinds of people, and it is not easy to deal with a little girl.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yulan glanced at him calmly: "Master Zong, don't provoke me, do you dare to say these words to my brother? Besides, you must not be completely sure about this matter, and you seem to have doubts about me. This time I guess they asked me to act because they want to solve the case, and they want to see my reaction."

Zong Yiyi was stunned, and smiled after a while: "It seems that your brother and I have underestimated you. I didn't expect Miss Wen to be so smart."

Wen Yulan closed her eyes slightly: "Don't dare to act, adults are resourceful. Wait until I go to that curtain, tidy it up and let's go right away, I'm afraid we will catch up with the curfew."

"Ah? Miss Wen, is she still going with me?"

Wen Yulan nodded: "Why not? Yu Gong, I am a citizen of Ming Dynasty, I should do my part to deal with these rebellious officials and thieves, Yu private..." At this point she paused, raised her head slightly and tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to shed Going back, "In private, my friend was probably killed by me. If I don't catch the real culprit and give her justice, I will have trouble sleeping and eating myself."

Hearing what she said, Zong Yife felt a little embarrassed. His sister, Feng Jiyue, was not a little bit of a villain himself, but he didn't have any kindness in himself. Since the other party agreed, let's go with what he said. Come on, the big deal is to take care of it when the time comes.

After finishing tidying up, the two went to an alley in the west of the city together.

This alley is named Moxiang Alley because it is next to booksellers and most of the residents are scholars. After all, it is clean.Walking to the first room, Zong knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A hoarse female voice came from inside.

"The government is investigating the case." Zong Yiyi said loudly.There was silence for a while, and then the door creaked open, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman.

Zong Yiyi showed his waist tag, "Jinyiwei Baihu, I came to you to understand something."

At this time, Jin Yiwei was always able to stop children from crying at night, and Qiu Hong was no exception. With a pale face, she said a little unnaturally: "Why don't adults come in and talk, and the women will pour you a cup of tea, you Rest your feet too."

Zong Yiyi took a deep look at her until she was hairy all over. After a while, he smiled: "Okay, then let's go in and talk."

After entering the house, Zong Yifeng couldn't help but look around, and was surprised to find that the house was very clean and tidy. There were flowers with dew in the vase on the table, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.This is completely inconsistent with the rumors in the previous investigation that Qiu Hong became eccentric and unkempt because of her husband's death and widowhood.Zong Yiyi also noticed that Qiu Hong seemed to have applied some rouge, and even the clothes were brand new.He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then he understood.

With a flattering smile, Qiu Hong handed the tea to Zong and the two of them: "There is nothing to entertain the women here. This is a new tea that was served just this year. I heard that it is very popular in Beijing now. Try it to see if it suits your taste."

Zong Yi picked up the teacup, took a long sip under Qiu Hong's gaze, and praised: "It's really fresh and sweet, good tea."

Qiu Hong smiled: "As long as you like it." Then the style of painting changed, and she asked casually: "I don't know why my lord is here this time."

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the officer caught a traitor who was bewitched by the White Lotus Sect through investigations. I heard that you went to stop the sedan chair to sue her before, so this time I came to ask you to record a testimony." Zong Yi replied.

Qiu Hong was stunned: "The person the woman sued before? Isn't that..."

Before she finished speaking, Wen Yulan took off the curtain over there.To be honest, Wen Yulan was also taken aback, this was completely different from what had been discussed before.Originally, Zong's letter was arranged to make her show an arrogant attitude, and quarreled with Qiu Hong to deliberately irritate her and make her lose her mind, but now I don't know what he is doing, when did I become a member of the White Lotus Sect?

But Wen Yulan reacted quickly, and immediately thought of a countermeasure after hearing him change his rhetoric.

Zong Yiyi glanced at her admiringly, and explained to Qiu Hong next to him: "This woman is a wolf, although her brother is the county magistrate, but in the process of contacting the man of the White Lotus Sect, he was gradually brainwashed by that man. Having developed feelings, and now setting up a series of schemes to murder family members, it is really a heinous crime."

Wen Yulan: "..." Brother, do you have so many Jinyiwei dramas?It's a shame not to write a storybook.But he still obeyed what the other party said, and put on the attitude of a fanatic who would rather die than surrender: "I agree with him, and only the holy religion can lead us to a better future! Those of you who insult the Holy Mother of the White Lotus will be punished sooner or later!"

Zong Yipeng was so excited that someone could catch his scene. If it wasn't when he was handling the case, he really wanted to discuss it with her.At this moment, Wen Yulan miraculously understood his emotions, and quickly stopped him with her eyes.

On the other side, Qiu Hong couldn't help but muttered softly to himself: "No...how could he like you? You're a yellow-haired girl, he won't..."

Zong Yiyi looked at her delirious appearance and felt that it was not enough, so he continued to add fuel to the fire: "You silly girl, what kind of sincerity does that person have? Didn't he deceive other women besides you? I really think I am a charming lady. Can it make people fall in love?"

Wen Yulan had roughly understood it at this time, and retorted: "You are talking nonsense, he and those women are just playing tricks on the occasion, he told me a long time ago, and after this matter is over, he will kill them to silence them. Besides, I was spoiled and raised since childhood. , Literate, young and beautiful, why didn't he choose me? He also said to me..."

"Shut up!" Qiu Hong interrupted her with a stern voice.At this time, her eyes were red, her chest was heaving and panting heavily, her expression was like an evil ghost climbing up from hell: "What are you, you couple, I'm going to kill you!" Magnolia rushed over.

The result was naturally kicked away by Zong Yifeng. Qiu Hong was beaten badly. She couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, and looked at the two of them with resentment: "Do you think this will be useful? Master Jin Yiwei, wait for you to be poisoned!" Then you will know to beg me, and then I will kill this bitch first! Then I will hack that heartbroken man to death!"

Zong Yiyi rolled his eyes: "You don't think I really drank your tea, do you?"
