Oh? Is it so powerful? Shen Yuyu stared at Ji Xun in surprise.
Ji Xun and Zhang Neng were chatting face to face. After hearing Ji Xun's words, Zhang Neng hurriedly raised his head and looked at him.
Ji Xun said calmly: "You only need to investigate three things, and this matter will come to light."
Shen Yuyu and Zhang Neng quickly pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"First, didn't someone say that Song Yu'an 'walked at night and came back in the morning'? Ask him if what he saw was his back."
"Second, on the day Shen Xi was killed, didn't the dean say he saw Wang Xiucai? Ask him if what he saw was his back."
"Thirdly, there are traces of carriage ruts in the wasteland from Wang's house to the cave at the foot of the east mountain.'
"If these three questions are 'yes', then just take out the patrol token and go to Wang's house to search. However, you must bring a few more people with you." Zhang Neng and Shen Yuyu were silent for a moment and looked at each other thoughtfully. One glance.
The next day, Shen Yuhu and Ji Xun took six government officials and went straight to Nanyang Academy.
"Sigh~~ It seems to be true when you ask. Song Yu'an sneaked out and climbed through the window at night. Indeed, I only saw his back." The straight scholar said.
"Then how do you know he is Song Yu'an?" Zhang Neng asked strangely.
"No need to ask? He is wearing very luxurious Shu brocade. I am afraid that only Song Yu'an has such clothes in the entire academy."
After asking the scholar Zhang Zangzi, Zhang Neng found the dean.
"Yes, I did see Wang Xiucai during dinner that day. Wang Xiucai dropped something on the ground and was bending over to pick it up. I said hello to him and said, 'Are you having dinner so late?' , he hummed."
"Then how does the dean know that he is Wang Xiucai? Have you seen his face?"
"No, but Wang Xiucai's uniform has his name embroidered on the arm. You can tell at a glance." After leaving Huayang Academy, Shen Yuhu and Zhang Neng continued to Shenjia Village with six government officials.
After arriving at Shenjia Village, they did not take the path leading to the center of the village, but took the bluestone avenue in the southwest direction leading to the Wang family residence.
The Wang family residence is far away from the village. It has three entrances and three exits and covers a large area.
Not far along the road, there is a wasteland in front of us, which leads directly to the cave at the foot of the east mountain.
After searching the wasteland for a long time, I found carriage ruts leading all the way to the outside of the cave.
"Let's go to Wang's house." Zhang Neng greeted and went directly to Wang's house to search according to Ji Xun's instructions. Several people soon arrived outside Wang's house.
Knocking on the door, it was still the door opened by the previous housekeeper.
"What do you want to do?" Before he finished speaking, Zhang Neng opened the door and rushed in with everyone.
"You go to the backyard, you are in charge of the middle yard, and you two search the front yard." The more people there are, the faster the search will be, without giving the suspect a chance to react.
"Yes, sir." The six government officials quickly dispersed.
Mrs. Liu heard the noise and brought a group of servants over to stop her: "Do you have a search warrant? Without a search warrant, this is breaking into a private house? It's illegal."
Zhang Neng showed his patrol badge and said, "Your Majesty, the patrol commander, is out on patrol on behalf of the emperor. When you see this badge, you still see the emperor. Why don't you kneel down?"
Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she knelt down and did not dare to say another word.
Zhang Neng glanced at her coldly: "Where is Wang Xiucai?"
"He, he's in the backyard." Mrs. Liu's expression changed.
Zhang Neng and Shen Yuyu hurriedly went to the backyard.
Before they even reached the backyard, two government officials escorted a gorgeously dressed young lady over.
This lady lowered her head hard, her hair was hanging down to cover her face, she was tall and had a curvy figure, and she looked like a lady from a wealthy family.
"Raise your head." Zhang Neng took two steps closer and stared at the woman.
But this woman still refused to raise her head and kept her head hanging.
"Lift her head up for me." Zhang Neng ordered, and the officer lifted the girl's chin.
Shen Yuyu's eyes almost fell out when he saw it.
This man wore lame heavy makeup, thick black eyebrows like two caterpillars, blush like a monkey's butt, and blood-red lipstick. Although the makeup was horribly exaggerated, it was not difficult to recognize that it was a familiar face.
This person turned out to be Wang Xiucai! Wang Xiucai was actually a woman?
No, no, no, that shouldn't be said. Should it be said that he actually dressed up as a woman?
Transvestite? This~~, this is so subversive.
Shen Yuzheng was extremely surprised, and the yamen servant had gained something again.
"Report to your lord, we found some things." The officer said and threw a bag of things on the ground.
Shen Yuyu took a look and saw that it was Shen Xi's relic. She had also seen Shen Xi wearing the silk gold hairpin.
"Wang Xiucai, do you have anything to say?" Zhang Neng sneered at him.
Wang Xiucai, whose face was completely disfigured by heavy make-up, said nothing. All the deceased's belongings were found in his house, and he could no longer quibble.
"Tie the person up and take him away."
Wang Xiucai did not resist. He lowered his eyebrows and allowed his hands to be tied behind his back. There was a hint of relief in his expression.
Many people in the village heard the news and came to watch. As soon as Wang Xiucai, dressed in women's clothing, was escorted out of the palace gate, everyone surrounded him like a monster.
"Here, this girl is Wang Xiucai? Wang Wenqin?"
"Isn't it him? I didn't expect Wang Xiucai to be such a pervert despite looking so gentle."
"Look at his chest? What's stuffed in it to make it so big? It looks like two buns.'
Coincidentally, as soon as the neighbor finished speaking, Wang Xiucai's chest loosened and fell directly to his waist. As he moved around, it finally fell to the ground. It was really a white and plump bun.
"Son, my son!!" Wang Xiucai's mother, Mrs. Liu, chased her out of the courtyard and collapsed at the entrance of the courtyard, beating her chest and feet. "How can you explain to your father how you look like this? My son!"
Perhaps even Mrs. Liu didn't know that Wang Xiucai had this special hobby, and she was extremely shocked at this moment.
She watched helplessly as her son, disguised as his daughter, was taken away by Zhang Neng, unable to say a word.
The ride back to the county government office took a horse-drawn carriage and took half an hour.
As soon as we arrived at the yamen gate, we heard quarrels and curses coming from inside. Magistrate Lin kept apologizing to people.
"Mrs. Song, I'm sorry. We will definitely investigate this case carefully and make the young master innocent. Don't worry."
Su said in a sharp voice: "Where have you locked up my son? Release him quickly, or you will be killed.'
Magistrate Lin nodded and bowed: "Mrs. Song, please calm down. This case will be taken over by Mr. Zhang who is next to the inspector. If I had this power, Mr. Song would not be imprisoned.'
Su's eyes were blood red, as if she wanted to eat someone.
"Where's Mr. Zhang? Tell him to get out of here, Madam. He arrested my son based on mere speculation. I won't give up until he comes up with evidence.'
"And that Shen Yue, yes, that's right, and her husband Ji Xun, I will definitely not let you have good things to eat." While the quarrel continued, Zhang Neng escorted Wang Xiucai in.
Seeing Wang Xiucai walking in, everyone looked at him in shock.
