Spending thirty taels of silver, he just got a sewer map. Using this map, the killer five years ago could not escape. And in the past five years, Su Ping could not tell whether the Ministry of Industry had improved the Daoguangfang waterway.
And know.
If you want to find out these things, you have to go to the Ministry of Works to inquire. But it was getting late, so Su Ping didn't go. Besides, Su Ping knew that there was an official from the Ministry of Works in the Tang family, so it was better to ask that person directly.
After recalling and summarizing, Su Ping seemed to want to understand why there was something wrong with Lao Li. There was a feeling that Lao Li himself was a member of the black market. It is said that Lao Li was very good at solving crimes. Is there such a possibility that Lao Li was actually a gangster who had placed him in the police station?
An undercover agent from the county?
Of course, this is just Su Ping's guess.
Yi Zhang Hong's leg was lame. Su Ping rode an old mule to do errands today. Instead of returning the old mule to Mei Ran, he rode directly back to Qinghuafang. The old mule knew the way and turned directly towards the Duke's Mansion.
It was Su Ping who pulled the reins, and the old mule walked towards the superintendent's office.
Tang Mei discovered it and asked Su Ping why he rode the mule back again. Didn't you sell it?
Su Ping said that it was given to Mei Ran, and he was just borrowing it for today.
As soon as she heard Mei Ran's name, Tang Mei's face grew long. But she didn't say anything. She just told Su Ping that she could eat dinner by herself without waiting for her. She was going back to Qinxiang Xiaozhu to change clothes and then go
Lide Square.
Without Su Ping asking, Tang Mei added that Princess Chengfeng Princess Ximen Gui was getting married tomorrow and would host a banquet for some guests tonight. The Tang family sent the Fourth Young Master and Princess Loulan to the banquet.
Su Ping remembered that the fortune teller Han Dafu had said this. Su Ping didn't care about the wedding of the nobles. He just asked Tang Mei who in the Tang family worked in the Ministry of Industry? Tang Mei said that the fifth uncle (Tang Li)'s family
The eldest son-in-law Li Zhengfu serves as a foreign minister in the Ministry of Industry.
Tang Mei left, and Grandma Wang and Wang Jin'er also left with her. Only Zhen Ping'er was left in the Supervisory Office, sitting in the Supervisory Hall to replace Tang Mei. However, Zhen Ping'er had limited power and could only be the master of ten taels of silver.
.For more than ten taels of silver, we have to wait for Tang Mei’s decision.
Zhen Ping'er is really a good maid. If it weren't for her background, Su Ping felt that she was more suitable to be a leader than Miss Six.
Su Ping asked Zhen Ping'er if he had eaten. Zhen Ping'er said that Zhu Tao and Feng Die had been sent to the dining hall to get food. Su Ping asked, what to eat? Zhen Ping'er said that the princess ordered to prepare a meal for the master, and
Others are still the same.
There are four maids left in the house: Zhen Ping'er, Zhu Tao, Feng Die, and Wu Xiaoxiao. Su Ping said, add a large plate of fried pork belly with green onions and a large plate of scrambled eggs.
While talking, Su Ping took out a few pieces of silver and put it on Zhen Ping'er's case. Zhen Ping'er smiled implicitly, thanked her, and arranged for Wu Xiaoxiao to do it. Wu Xiaoxiao grabbed the silver and ran out happily.
I don’t know who sent the news to Dongdacang. I heard that the princess was gone and Mr. Su was inviting guests to dinner. Two maids, Tang Wan and Yang Liuer, ran over. Zhen Ping’er didn’t rush them away, but just told them
, go back quickly after eating.
Su Ping asked Yang Liuer if she still planned to write a letter to her family.
Yang Liu'er said that she wanted to write a letter, but she didn't plan to ask her father to pick her up. Because Yang Liu'er's mother had passed away long ago, and her stepmother was not good to her. She also always wanted to marry her off to a wealthy family in the next village as a child.
Because Sun Dahu thought Yang Liuer was handsome, he gave her a lot of money.
"That Sun Dahu is several dozen years old. He looks like a wild boar and makes people sick just looking at him. I don't want to marry him. I still have money to keep in Luoyang. When I save enough money, I can find it myself.
The princess can redeem herself."
Once a woman has an income, her back becomes stiff, and this has been the case throughout the ages. Su Ping didn't say much. After dinner, she brought some gifts and went to visit Li Zhengfu, a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry.
But before Su Ping could walk out the door, he heard that someone was looking for him. It was said that it was Tian Qun's younger brother, who currently lives in Chengfufang, and Ma Tian, the commander-in-chief of Nanyang Princess Meng Qiao's mansion, came to visit Su Ping.
Before they met, Su Ping knew why he was here. Su Ping couldn't solve the problem, so she didn't want to see him. But Zhen Ping'er said that among wealthy princesses, unless arranged by the family, they cannot thank guests behind closed doors. Even if it is
It would be extremely impolite to turn away a person from the county, and it could easily cause misunderstandings within the family.
Based on this, Su Ping could only see him.
Tian Gan is the last Mr. Yu. It seems that he and Su Ping are really destined.
When the two Mr. Yu met, they first looked at each other. And this Tian Junma's appearance lived up to his reputation. Looking at him, he felt like a comedy star in later generations, a school idol of a certain art.
He did not come alone. He was followed by two sturdy bodyguards and two women around forty years old. The two women looked fierce and lavish. Although they were not very tall and strong, their bodies were
He looked even more powerful than the two male bodyguards.
I really don’t know why he travels with two women like him.
Su Ping didn't ask any more questions, but stepped in to salute. Tian Gan also stepped in to salute, and praised: "It's better to be famous than to see him. Mr. Su is really extraordinary in appearance. I think Princess Loulan also likes him very much, and he is a family treasure."
This man's words were a bit unreliable. As soon as they met, he joked as if he was familiar with him.
Without going into further polite words, Su Ping led him to sit down in the main hall. He did not shy away from anything and said bluntly that he hoped Su Ping would release Tian Qun. If Mr. Su had any requests, Tian Gan would try his best to satisfy them.
Su Ping told him what he said to Qiao Dongcheng again, only saying that this was handled by Xue Shilang personally, and there was nothing I could do about it. And so on.
Hearing this, Tian Gan was helpless: "I have asked the person in charge of the Meng family to negotiate with Mr. Xue, but Mr. Xue said that Mr. Su was watching this matter. Now Mr. Su said that it was Mr. Shilang
Supervise this matter. It seems that you are working together and are not planning to let him go. But I don’t understand how our brother, an honest man like me and a rich man at that, can pay for just a thousand taels.
Just trap yourself?"
Su Ping said: "According to the information I have now, even if this case is convicted, Brother Tian Qun's crime is not serious. He is an accessory, and he was still coerced into committing a crime. If he goes to Dali Temple and walks around, maybe he will even go to jail.
No need to squat."
Tian Gan said: "Having said that, your case handling progress is slow. When will your investigation be completed? If you can't complete the investigation in one year, my brother will have to spend a year in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"
At this point, Tian Gan became sad and wiped away his tears: "By the way, my father passed away not long after my grandfather passed away. My brother and I depended on each other for life, and we have a deep brotherly relationship. My brother is timid and has never suffered anything.
Now that he is in prison, how long can he last? If you don't release him, I'm afraid it won't be long before he dies in prison."
In fact, Tian Qun was not that miserable. Qiao Dongcheng and others had already gone to the prison to deal with it, and the efforts were not small. Tian Qun was given a single room, and the weakest inmate was also arranged, that is, the former member of the Household Department Wailang Zhang Guan who had never pleaded guilty.
.
Speaking of Zhang Guan, even if his wife confessed, he refused to admit it and was beaten all over. It is said that Tian Qun is still in the mood to take care of his fellow inmates. Someone brought him delicious food, but he couldn't finish it, so he gave it to Zhang
Take a look.
After crying for a while, and seeing that it had no effect, Tian Gan stood up and said goodbye, and Su Ping walked him to the door. Tian Gan asked Su Ping, why didn't he go to Lidefang? At this time, a banquet was being held at Princess Chengfeng's house, and everyone was invited to the banquet.
Binpeng and Su Ping said that he had no identity to go.
Tian Gan was curious and asked Su Ping about his current situation. Su Ping briefly explained the situation. Tian Gan smiled and said, I didn’t expect that the sixth lady of the Tang family was so interesting, a hundred times more powerful than our tigress. According to my prediction, Baoyu
Brother and Miss Six will become a couple sooner or later. I wish you a happy marriage in advance.
Tian Gan is a familiar person, and his emotions span a wide range, and they are all reflected on his face. Whether he is happy or sad, he does not hide it, but he feels quite sincere.
After sending Tian Gan away, Su Ping went to find Li Zhengfu, a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry. Su Ping asked, had the sewage culvert in Daoguangfang been improved?
Li Zhengfu asked Su Ping why he asked this question?
Su Ping said that after looking at the historical cases of the Ministry of Punishment, there was an assassin in Daoguangfang who came and went invisible. It is suspected that he came in and out through the sewage culvert. Now the Lord Assistant is going to conduct a security inspection there.
Li Zhengfu said that three years ago, the drainage of Daoguangfang was blocked and it was cleared once. During this period, many remains were found, but no changes were made.
Su Ping asked, can people enter Daoguangfang from the outside?
Li Zhengfu said that if silt is not considered, the drainage channels of the 29th square in Luobei are actually connected. You can walk from the drainage ditch to any square. But it is not possible now because the east-west culvert has long been blocked.
Dredging is very time-consuming and laborious. As the national treasury is tight, we will not deal with it for the time being. We will only ensure smooth flow in the north and south directions. The culvert is very muddy, smells bad, and there are hidden pits. Not to mention walking in the dark, even with the construction uncovered, it is not possible.
People often fall into it.
Su Ping felt that it would be extremely risky for him to wander around randomly. He planned to ask Xue Shilang to issue an order tomorrow to inspect the sewage culverts in Daoguang Square and several nearby squares, and take the opportunity to find out the situation.
At the same time, go for a walk around Daoguangfang, especially near Prince Qi's Mansion. It would be better if you could climb up to the watchtower near Prince Qi's Mansion to have a look. I just don't know how to get up to the watchtower.
There was nothing to do in the evening, so Su Ping went to Mei Pavilion. At that time, Zhen Ping'er was the only one sitting on the couch in Mei Pavilion. The little maid Wu Xiaoxiao was standing at the door bored. Seeing Su Ping coming, the little maid smiled happily and saluted to welcome him.
Su Ping walked into the lobby and asked Zhen Ping'er if she had ever been to Prince Qi's Mansion. Zhen Ping'er said that she had been there several times with Princess Fengyang and Miss Six earlier.
