Chapter 357 Plum Blossom Cake IV

The two of them hurriedly sorted out the clues and left the Yamen of Dali Temple. They were still talking about the case while walking on the road. They waited until they reached the Jingyun Marquis Mansion. When they saw the closed gate of the Marquis Mansion, they remembered

I forgot to tell Zhao You in advance.

"It's broad daylight, but the door of the Hou Mansion is closed..." Liu Yuan looked at the Duke's Mansion opposite, which was also closed, and said "Huh" and asked curiously, "People from the two houses are not at home?"

Bai Zhu looked at the carriages coming and going on the street, frowned and thought: "It's the end of the year, and many yamen have canceled their unused annual leave in advance. Could it be that the whole family is traveling to visit relatives?"

Liu Yuan opened his mouth and was about to speak when a faint voice came from the side door. The two looked at each other and hurriedly turned to the side door.

But he saw the side door opened, and the steward of the Hou Mansion was talking to a mother and son. The two people were dressed very simply and carried packages on their backs. They seemed to be newly recruited servants and servants.

The two of them walked closer and listened to the steward talking to the mother and son: "If you are safe, please go to our second son's courtyard, and Sister Xiang will go to the outer courtyard. Is that okay?"

The mother and son nodded repeatedly and thanked them. Judging from their accents, they seemed to be from the villages and counties near Chang'an. The mother and son looked like farmers, but they seemed to know how to work.

This was a family matter in the Hou Mansion, and it had nothing to do with them. But just now, according to the arrangements made by the steward, the newly recruited servant was placed in Lin Shaoqing's yard, and the two of them were a little surprised.

Lin Shaoqing's temperament is different from that of ordinary high-ranking old clan children. There are no more than two servants around him, and they wait outside the hospital all year round and rarely go inside. This has been even more true since entering the Yamen of Dali Temple. Lin Shaoqing himself has also had

There is no need to make a face, lest something unexpected happen.

It is always better to take precautions before they happen than to make amends after they happen.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu suddenly became excited: "Is it possible..."

"According to what the coachman said before he died, there were five robbers. Since it was just an ordinary robbery case at first, the Jingzhao Prefecture took over it first. After some investigation, we learned from the passers-by who passed by the official road that day.

After these five people left, they disguised themselves as wealthy businessmen and left with several cars of the wealthy businessmen's belongings." Lin Fei said, "The actions of those five people can not be called bold, and they have also encountered them on official roads.

The patrolling officers and soldiers. Because these cars of belongings were really eye-catching, the officers and soldiers conducted an investigation. The men claimed to be five sworn brothers of the opposite sex. They had made some money doing business outside and were rushing back to their hometown. Because

I tried to disguise myself with several people, but I couldn't find anyone. However, during the interrogation, from the names of those people called "eldest brother, second brother", we can know that there is one named Su, one named Lu, and one named Liu...

"

The two people who didn't want to ask "Why is Shangfeng feeling unwell" could only swallow their words for the time being and followed the steward to see Lin Fei.

Liu Yuan looked at the indifferent Lin Fei and said to himself that this excitement was probably just for you, but then he thought about it, Shang Feng had made it so clear, how could he not know the true intention of offering incense, so he stopped talking.

.

Folk rumors say that when the blood moon appears, the energy is exhausted, and it is like falling into purgatory.

Fortunately, I have a childhood sweetheart, and I have already decided to get married. Otherwise, like Lin Shaoqing, the family kept urging me in the first three days. My family meant well, but they didn’t want to wrong me for the rest of my life and find someone to spend my life with.

People who are stuck in the middle will have a lot of headaches for the rest of their lives.

After the Blood Moon, the late emperor, who was originally obsessed with the things of gods and Buddhas, became even more obsessed with this way and couldn't control it. He probably still had the intention of seeking immortality and asking for immortality. Although rumors among the people were not allowed, Qintian Prison still had

He left a record, which obviously appealed to the late emperor's attention.

After hearing the arrangements of the steward of the Hou Mansion, Liu Yuan couldn't help but call him. The steward knew the two of them, so when he saw them approaching, he bent down and saluted.

The bottom of the upside-down silver ingot is engraved with the four-year mark of the finished product. It is obviously an official silver from that year. It is not known where Lin Shaoqing found it.

Qin Tian Jian has been established for a long time, and it is a common practice to mark the year. This book has been marked before and after. However, during the ten years ago, from 20 to 30 years ago, the records in this book did not record the year.

Lin Fei pointed out this record, and of course he was not discussing the vision. Dali Temple did not care about visions or not. He pointed at the vision and said to the two of them: "Do you still remember the inkstone that Zhang Wulin took away?

"

Hearing this, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu were even more surprised. They glanced at the new boy named "Ping An" on the side again: he was dark and thin. Seeing the two people looking at him, he quickly grinned and showed a mouthful.

White Teeth has a clean and honest smile, but he is not dull. He learns to act like a steward, hurriedly salutes, and shouts "I have met you, sir."

"After you return to Dali Temple, go to the warehouse and look for a case in the fourth year of Chengping. I remember there was a robbery case in the fourth year of Chengping." Lin Fei closed his eyes and recalled, "It happened on official roads, and a wealthy businessman

The whole family, young and old, and the servants who followed were all killed. When the government arrived, only one driver was left alive, and he died after giving a testimony."

"Sun and Lu were not directly involved in Feng Tong's death, but they were aware of it." Lin Fei said, handed over the opened book in his hand, and said, "Look at this."

I came today not to meddle in Shangfeng's personal affairs, but to deal with the case.

Lin Fei listened calmly, not even frowning when the two men mentioned that there seemed to be an invisible hand secretly manipulating them.

Since just now, they have been curious. The book Lin Shaoqing was reading was pushed over like this. Looking at the open book on the table, the two of them were startled and said: "This is..."

Of course, although an official silver coin dating more than 20 years ago is rare, it is not impossible to obtain.

Is this... They also guessed it. Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu listened and did not ask Lin Fei, but listened to Lin Fei continue to speak.

Naturally, people were not allowed to spread rumors about such visions, which were regarded as ominous by the people. During the reign of the late Emperor, no one was allowed to talk about the visions. All books containing records of this image among the people were regarded as banned books.

, will be destroyed.

The two of them nodded to him. Although they were confused, they did not ask any more questions about the matter. Instead, they explained their purpose to the steward: "The two of us have something to see Lin Shaoqing. Seeing that the door of the Hou Mansion is closed, is Lin Shaoqing here?"

Fuchu?"

Lin Fei turned the silver ingot he was playing with upside down and placed it in front of the two of them: "Although rumors are not allowed, there are no records. But everyone can see this kind of vision hanging in the sky. It is very impressive when you think about it. If you ask, you will know that it is

Chengping four years."

Could it be an oversight? It's an oversight. It must be the late emperor's instruction.

"Although Sun and Lu both have a large amount of money from unexplained sources like Manager Mao, they can't be regarded as 'Steward Mao'. At most, they can only be regarded as two 'Feng Tong'." Lin Fei's voice was calm, but

There is no doubt that the case involving these two people is completely clear.

The steward brought the two of them and left. Lin Fei, who was sitting there flipping through an unknown book, raised his head and looked at the two of them.

After the two of them had finished talking, he spoke and said: "The reason why the case is so messy is because several cases were intertwined into this one case at the same time."

Hearing this, the steward hurriedly smiled and said, "Today, both families went to the temple outside the city to offer incense. The second young master was feeling unwell, so he did not follow him out of the city." Without waiting for the two of them to speak, he called for someone to take Ping An's mother and son down.

, then led the way for the two of them.

The two of them calmed down, sat down and took the tea from Shangfeng, drank it in one gulp, and after moistening their throats, they summarized what they had gained from running around in the past few days and the clues they had sorted out. This case was weird, and it seemed like someone was involved.

The arrangements were explained once.

The two looked at each other, then looked away, and then asked Lin Fei: "What did Lin Shaoqing, Zhang Wulin and others do in the fourth year of Chengping?"

Liu Yuan looked at Lin Fei, who had a normal expression and was playing with a silver ingot in his hand, and couldn't help but ask: "Lin Shaoqing, the steward said you are not feeling well..."

In this way, it is confirmed that Liu Sanqing provided the dismemberment equipment. In addition, Qian Chengyi and Zhang Wulin ran away, and Feng Tong "ran away from home" in the days after Feng Tong's accident. It is very likely that Qian Chengyi was the one who killed Feng Tong.

, Liu Sanqing, who provided the equipment, and Zhang Wulin, who escaped, should be the ones who instigated Qian Chengyi to kill.

"A book borrowed from Qintian Prison to record celestial phenomena." Lin Fei said, pointing to one of the records and tapping lightly, "More than twenty years ago, there was a blood moon phenomenon."

Red moon and clear mud inkstone!

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu both felt a thump in their hearts, and they immediately realized: Could it be that the inkstone refers to the Blood Moon?

Thinking about this, he quickly lowered his head and looked at the record book in Qin Tian Prison: He wanted to see when the blood moon occurred, but was shocked to find that the record book did not mark the specific year, but only recorded the day.

Which year is the Mid-Autumn Festival?

When the steward heard this, he hurriedly said: "It was arranged by the Second Young Master." He paused and then said, "The Second Young Master is a man of his own opinion. If not, how could I dare to go beyond him and arrange these things randomly?"

Before he could speak, Liu Yuan asked: "Did you know that when you arrange someone to go to Lin Shaoqing's courtyard, you will meet us, Lin Shaoqing?"

The stone-cutting tools unearthed from the Qian family's garden have been brought back to Dali Temple and compared with the cross-section of Feng Tong's body, and they were found to be consistent.

Before Liu Yuan could finish speaking, Lin Fei interrupted Liu Yuan's words and said calmly: "In recent days, all the temples and Taoist temples outside the city have become Yuelao Temple. The few handkerchiefs my mother has made are all with daughters of the right age.

My nieces and nephews are going to burn incense, so why should I join in the fun?"

Lin Fei said "hmm" and took out a few letters from under the book borrowed from Qintian Prison and said: "These are letters exchanged between Liu Sanqing, Su Fuhai and Lu Yuanlin. The handwriting can be read."

, can’t be fake.”

"So, these were the people who robbed and killed the wealthy businessman back then?" Bai Zhu thought for a moment and nodded, "If that's the case, judging from the ages of these people, they are right: Su Fuhai is the oldest, followed by Lu Yuanlin.

, next is Liu Sanqing, and next... Hu Siming and Zhang Wulin. Qian Chengyi is just a thug, he is younger than Zhang Wulin, so he can't match up."

So... everything seems to make sense.

Can……

"Lin Shaoqing, where did this letter come from?" Liu Yuan looked at this crucial letter in confusion, and the feeling of being arranged for this case in advance swept over him again: murderer, suspect, evidence itself.
