Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 801 Very Ruthless

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng lived in Xuanyuan Courtyard that night. Xuanyuan Liang and Tantai Pingchuan had already arranged a room for them and prepared everything. When they settled down, the two elderly people would return to their own yard to rest.

After the three of them finished washing, it was already late at night. Although it was late, they did not feel sleepy at all. These unsolved cases that had been sealed for a long time aroused their curiosity. researched it again.

"These cases spanned as long as 20 years. Although the methods were different and the way the victims died was also different, the styles were similar. Without exception, the victims were all the heirs of the family." Shen Cha yawned, put the file in his hand on the small table in front of him, hugged a pillow, half-closed his eyes and said, "This can all explain that these cases are from the same person, at least share a mastermind."

"The head of the family?" Shen Haolin reached out and picked up one of the files, "Why is the mastermind so obsessed with attacking the head of the family? As far as I know, Chi Ge is always the head of the Chi family. It stands to reason that they are the most fearful of them." Shouldn't it be the concubine of the family?"

"Then I don't know." Bai Meng shook his head lightly, touched his chin, and looked at Shen Haolin, "It's only after making such a fuss today that we actually don't know Mr. Chi Ge very well, do we? There is almost no interaction between them, even if they meet, they just say hello, casually exchange a few words, ask for warmth, that's all, right?"

"After leaving Xijing, there are almost no chances to deal with each other." Shen Haolin agreed with Bai Meng's statement, "Even if you go back to Beijing, it's not a particularly important palace banquet, and it's rare to see Mr. Chi Ge come out and walk around."

"You two wait a moment." Shen Cha stretched out his hand and patted Shen Haolin's arm, "I remember you said before that Mr. Chi Ge used to give lectures in the East Palace, and Brother Xiaojue once studied with him when he was still the prince. You The two of you are brother Xiaojue's companions, how could there be no intersection?"

"Well, it's a long story." Bai Meng glanced at Shen Haolin, and the two of them looked at each other, showing an embarrassed smile, "He is indeed giving lectures in the East Palace, but it's only for a day or two."

"It's true that it's not long, but..." Shen Cha looked at them both curiously, "Why did you two react like this?"

"Because, during the one or two days when Mr. Chi Ge was lecturing in the East Palace, he and His Majesty didn't listen at all. They slept from beginning to end, from daytime to evening." Shen Haolin snorted softly, "Uncle finally invited Mr. Chi Ge They were here to teach, but the two of them reacted like this, and they almost exploded with rage."

"It's really outrageous." Shen Cha nodded, and looked at Bai Meng with disapproval, "However, it's also the style of you two. What happened later?"

"The old man was so angry that he broke his crutches. No matter what my uncle persuaded, he refused to come to the East Palace again. My uncle had no choice but to give up because he was worried that the old man would be so angry. However, these two guys were not spared. They were punished to kneel in the small Buddhist hall in the palace, and copied Buddhist scriptures for three days, and they were given one meal and one pot of water every day, in order to let the two of them have a long memory."

"It's okay not to mention this, but when I mention this, I am really angry. The late emperor gave us a meal, a pot of water, and punished us to copy the scriptures and meditate. It’s too stubborn and should be punished more severely.”

Bai Meng also followed Shen Cha's example, found a pillow to hug her, put her chin on the pillow, and gritted her teeth viciously.

"Yo, have you ground your teeth? How much hatred does this have?" Shen Cha looked at Bai Meng curiously, "What did he do?"

"I suggest that uncle remove the brazier from the Small Buddha Hall, so that the two of them can experience what it means to suffer from hunger and cold."

"So..." Shen Cha was dumbfounded, "Is it so cruel?"

"Coincidentally, it snowed heavily on the night we were imprisoned in the Buddhist hall. Although the Duke secretly stuffed us with thick furs and hand stoves, it was still very cold. The small Buddhist hall, even if it is Burning ten braziers didn't feel warm, not to mention none. The two of us fought against each other for three days, and finally the two of us were so cold that we couldn't feel anything."

"It's not just that I don't feel anything anymore." Shen Haolin sighed softly, "Uncle personally took the two of them out of the small Buddhist hall, and the two of them were already unconscious. Lie on the bed."

"It's so serious?" Shen Cha looked Bai Meng up and down, "It's really a deep hatred."

"Isn't it!" Shen Haolin sighed, "The high fever doesn't go away, and the medicine can't be fed in. No matter how much you feed, how much you vomit, it drives uncle, queen mother, and old man Bai crazy. In the end, Master Huilan was invited to come out. It was only in time that the two of them were dragged back from the gate of hell. Fortunately, the two of them have strong foundations, and they didn't move their muscles this time due to illness. Otherwise, uncle would not spare old Chi Ge."

"If you make them both seriously ill, you can't let him go!"

"I didn't let him go." Shen Haolin nodded, "Confinement for one month, salary for half a year."

"This punishment is still light." Shen Cha was a little displeased, "It's no wonder that Uncle Shi and Uncle Dai Wang look down on him. This method...is really not bright enough, and it's a bit of a villain."

"It's really a very small person." Shen Haolin nodded in agreement, "Since then, the two of them have never been to the Small Buddha Hall, and they even refuse to pass by there. Even if they have to walk a few more steps, they will never approach .”

"This has left a deep imprint on my heart." Shen Cha sighed, "How old were you at that time? How old is Boss Chi Ge?"

"Old Chi Ge... is not young, and he is also in his fifties or sixties? As for us, um, we are about four or five years old!" Bai Meng rubbed his chin on the pillow twice, "It's just that people hate dogs I don’t want to see you at an age, but when I grew up two years later, I didn’t bother much anymore.” Seeing Shen Haolin squinting at himself, he changed his words again, “It’s because I didn’t bother in the palace, I wandered around in Xijing City instead. .”

"Wouldn't it be more of a headache?" Shen Cha looked at Bai Meng with a smile, "You two are really the devil kings of the world."

"Don't get involved with me!" Bai Meng quickly waved his hand, "I'm not, I was forced. But..." He looked at Shen Cha, "Since then, we basically haven't seen Chi much. Elder Ge, except for the two palace banquets during the Chinese New Year, it is very difficult to see him at other times."

"Normally speaking, he shouldn't be. Isn't he the dean of Taixue? Don't you usually go to Taixue?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "When you are patrolling, you can more or less meet them on the street."

"That is, in the last one or two years, he just moved out of Taixue. He has lived there before, so it is normal not to meet him."

"So that's how it is." Shen Cha nodded, "So, you don't know who he usually associates with."

"Since he became an official, the people who have been with him are his former disciples." Bai Meng spread his hands, "So, it is really unexpected that he planned these cases. Besides..." He stretched out his hand and nodded After looking at those files, "there are two or three other incidents that happened when he was living in Taixue. If there were any suspicious people coming in and out of Taixue at that time, the imperial army and patrol battalion would have received the news a long time ago, and it is impossible to delay It was discovered only now. Moreover, after the incident, we tried our best to find clues about the murderer, but found nothing." He looked at the file on the table and sneered, "Unexpectedly, this guy's method It gets taller with age.”

"The first case was in the summer ten years ago, right?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin and then at Bai Meng, "Tomorrow I will ask Mr. Qian if Mrs. Teng sent someone or personally I have been to Xijing."

"You mean..."

"En!" Shen Cha nodded, "Intuition tells me that Mr. Chi Ge is not as he said, completely ignorant of Chi Hong's affairs."
