Marry Changle in Datang

Zhao Yeqin nodded and said: "Master Zhang likes books, and I happened to have a lot of books at home, so I took a few and gave them to Master Zhang."

"How many copies did you take?"

Qin Wenyuan said with a half-smile, "Lord Zhao is so generous, you can just give away three sets worth of mansions as a gift?"

When Zhao Yeqin heard Qin Wenyuan's words, the smile on his face froze immediately.

His pupils shrank violently, and a trace of panic flashed across his expression for an instant.

"Master Qin, what you mean is..."

Zhao Yeqin spoke hastily.

Qin Wenyuan looked directly at Zhao Yeqin, his voice was calm, but with a soul-stirring power.

"Master Zhao, don't you know that the ten books you gave to Zhang Qin are all orphaned copies from the late Han Dynasty? They are all priceless treasures?"

Zhao Yeqin pursed his lips.

He was silent for a moment, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "To tell the truth, Mr. Qin, I really don't know the value of these books."

"These books have been passed down from generation to generation."

"The lower officials don't know exactly what period the books were written in. I only know that these books have been with us all the time. My grandfather passed them on to my father, and my father passed them on to my lower officials."

"The lower officials don't have a deep study of books, and haven't read these books much, so they don't know that these books are actually orphaned copies of the late Han Dynasty."

The reason Zhao Yeqin said was barely acceptable.

After all, if it wasn't for Wang Xiaohua, Qin Wenyuan might not know the value of these orphan copies.

However, Zhao Yeqin still lied.

After all, if it is worthless, can it be passed down from generation to generation?
Not to mention, when Zhao Yeqin spoke just now, his eyes flickered and he was very panicked. His expression almost told Qin Wenyuan clearly that he was talking nonsense.

Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "Since these books have been passed down from generation to generation in Mr. Zhao's family, do you think they have special meaning to your Zhao family?"

"Since it is such a meaningful thing, why did you give it to Zhang Qin?"

Zhao Yeqin clenched his fists suddenly.

But the next moment, he seemed to realize something, and quickly let go of his fist.

But this scene did not hide from Qin Wenyuan who had been staring at Zhao Yeqin.

Zhao Yeqin said: "Actually, the reason is very simple."

"Just like what Lord Qin asked just now, didn't the lower official take the credit of Master Zhang, so the lower official feels ashamed."

"The lower official just thought about giving Mr. Zhang something to make up for it."

"It just so happened that the lower official inquired that Mr. Zhang likes to read and collect books, so in order to make up for the debt, and to make the road to the Ministry of Industry smoother in the future, don't let this matter affect Mr. Zhang's understanding of the book. The impression of the subordinate."

"The next official can only endure the pain in his heart and give these books to Mr. Zhang."

Qin Wenyuan nodded: "This is all understandable."

When Zhao Yeqin heard this, his eyes immediately relaxed.

However, I don't believe it!

Qin Wenyuan calmly finished the remaining words in his heart.

Zhao Yeqin obviously knew the value of these books, but he got the credit for grabbing them, and the real benefits he got were not even worth the value of a single copy.

Therefore, in order to make up for the debt, it is a big deal to take out all the benefits obtained from that credit.

How is it possible to give away far more than ten times the benefits?

Is he a money-scattering boy?
Therefore, there must be other things hidden in it!
However, Zhao Yeqin obviously didn't want to tell the truth, and Qin Wenyuan asked, but there would be no result.

So Qin Wenyuan kept silent for the time being.

He looked at Zhao Yeqin and said, "Master Zhao, when did you last see Zhang Qin today? Where is it?"

Zhao Yeqin thought for a while, and then said, "It was at the well about three quarters of an hour ago."

Three quarters of an hour ago?
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed.

Wu made an autopsy and said that the time of Zhang Qin's death was within half an hour.

And three quarters of an hour is smaller than half an hour!

This equates to a direct reduction of a quarter of the time.

Zhao Yeqin said: "At that time, a fire broke out in the dossier room, and all of us were fighting the fire, while the lower official was fetching water from the well, and happened to meet Mr. Zhang who was busy fetching water."

Seeing that Qin Wenyuan didn't speak, he added: "There were other colleagues present at the time, and we were all collecting water to put out the fire. I think they should have seen it too."

Qin Wenyuan has asked Du Chuke to investigate, and the results will be available soon, so it is natural for Zhao Yeqin to judge whether what Zhao Yeqin said is true or not.

Qin Wenyuan was not in a hurry to verify, he continued to ask: "After that?"

"Afterwards, the lower officials were busy fighting the fire, so they didn't care about the people around them, so they didn't know where Mr. Zhang went."

"It wasn't until just now that the lower officials heard that Mr. Zhang was discovered from the dry well."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes were deep, and when his eyes were fixed on him, Zhao Yeqin immediately felt that the deepest secret in his heart had been seen through.

This caused some sweat to appear on Zhao Yeqin's forehead.

Qin Wenyuan said with a smile at this time: "Master Zhao, this autumn is so refreshing, do you feel hot? Why are you still sweating?"

Zhao Yeqin hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe off his sweat, and said, "Perhaps when the officer just arrived, he was in a hurry to leave, so he sweated a little."

"Really?"

Qin Wenyuan said meaningfully: "I thought Mr. Zhao was nervous, so he was sweating."

Zhao Yeqin's face froze, and he quickly shook his head: "Why are you nervous, Mr. Qin misunderstood."

Qin Wenyuan smiled: "It may indeed be a misunderstanding."

He said: "Where does Mr. Zhao usually handle official business? Can I go over and have a cup of tea?"

Zhao Yeqin quickly said: "Of course, please, Mr. Qin."

With that said, he led the way.

At this time, Wang Xiaohua also noticed that Zhao Yeqin seemed a little too flustered.

She followed behind Qin Wenyuan and said in a low voice, "Master Qin suspects that he killed someone?"

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "Not sure, after all, I haven't found conclusive evidence yet."

"However, even if he is not the murderer, he must be inseparable from this case. At least, he knows the key information."

"Let's go, let's go to his office first."

"The scene of the first crime has not been found, nor has the murder weapon been found. Since it is not Zhang Qin's office, we have no choice but to walk around."

Wang Xiaohua immediately understood what Qin Wenyuan meant, and she nodded in agreement.

The two followed Zhao Yeqin and soon came to Zhao Yeqin's office.

Zhao Yeqin's official position is a doctor, and he is a middle-level person in the Ministry of Industry, so he does not have a separate office.

It is to share a large office room with several people.

Entering the office room, Qin Wenyuan found that there were six desks.

Therefore, it is an office room shared by six people.

On each table, there are some book notebooks, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, as well as some drawing tools.

As a member of the Ministry of Industry, more or less, they all know some engineering knowledge.

Zhao Yeqin's desk is located second on the left, which is near the window.

It can be regarded as a relatively good location in this office room.

Here, you can bask in the sun and see the scenery outside the window.

At this time, there was no one else in the office room, the fire had just been extinguished, and there were many things going on in the dossier room, and all the officials who were free went over to help.

After Zhao Ye invited Qin Wenyuan to sit down, he quickly picked up the teapot on the table, and Qin Wenyuan poured him a cup of tea.

He said: "Master Qin, please drink tea, I don't have any good tea here, Master Qin please take care of me."

Qin Wenyuan took the teacup and said with a smile: "I have no requirements for tea, and I have no research, as long as it can quench my thirst."

He took a sip of tea and looked at Zhao Yeqin's table.

There were two teacups on the table.

Qin Wenyuan said: "Master Zhao entertained others not long ago?"

Zhao Yeqin glanced at the teacup on the table, put it away hastily, and said, "The lower officials are a little sloppy, and always forget to collect the tea set. Actually, I drank it with my colleagues this morning."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.

However, looking at the teacup, there was a hint of meaning in it.

Morning drink?

As a result, it is very hot now.

The heat preservation effect of this open teacup is amazing!

Qin Wenyuan took a deep look at Zhao Yeqin, but did not expose Zhao Yeqin's lies.

He looked at Zhao Yeqin's table.

I saw some drawings and a few books on the table.

There is ink on the inkstone.

It seems that Zhao Yeqin is very busy today.

He looked at other places in the office room.

The decoration of this office room is also relatively simple.

Six tables are arranged in order.

Three on each side.

Behind each desk, there is a small bookshelf.

Below the bookshelf, there is a cabinet attached.

Obviously, the decorations here are all standard, and everyone is the same.

The only difference is that the things visited on each table are different.

For example, Zhao Yeqin only has the Four Treasures of the Study and books.

And on the table in front of Zhao Yeqin, there was a small flower pot with a small flower planted on it.

On the table opposite Zhao Yeqin, there was a delicate small stone carving, which was a colorful tiger with its head raised up and roaring in the forest.

But the tiger lost one of its ears, which reminded Qin Wenyuan of a nursery rhyme.

"One has no ears, the other has no eyes, that's weird...hey."

Qin Wenyuan picked up the small stone sculpture and said with a smile, "It's so strange."

When Zhao Yeqin, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, heard Qin Wenyuan's words, his pupils trembled slightly.

He looked at the tiger stone carving in Qin Wenyuan's hand, and explained: "Originally, this stone carving was complete, but a few days ago, when an official passed by, he accidentally bumped into him and knocked it to the ground, causing the tiger's ears to touch. If one is lost, it will become the strange appearance it is now."

Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan raised his finger and touched the broken ear of the stone carving. Feeling the graininess of his fingertips, he nodded slightly and said, "It turned out that Mr. Zhao broke it. I said, why is his ear missing?" gone."

"If Mr. Zhao didn't say it, I would have thought it was his characteristic, but it wasn't there when he carved it."

Zhao Yeqin sneered: "How is this possible? How could it be possible to deliberately not have ears when carving."

Qin Wenyuan looked at the tiger carefully, and saw that the stone tiger was colorful, with a pair of bright red eyes, as if the eyes were bloodshot, and looked very intimidating.

Qin Wenyuan said: "This tiger's eyes are very distinctive. Usually stone tigers don't dye their eyes blood red."

Zhao Yeqin scratched his head, and said, "Your official also thinks it's very special. Once you see these eyes, it's hard to forget."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.

He put the stone sculpture back to its original place and asked, "Whose stone sculpture is this?"

Zhao Yeqin hurriedly said, "It belongs to Master Yuanwailang Han Xunhan."

Han Xun?

Qin Wenyuan recalled it for a while.

Soon, I knew who Han Xun was.

Han Xun, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, is responsible for the design and review of housing buildings.

He is 43 years old and has worked in the Ministry of Industry for [-] years. He is a former minister of the Sui Dynasty. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he stayed in the Tang Dynasty.

During these years, he participated in the construction of the Daming Palace, post stations, and palaces, as well as the residences of many princes and generals.

Not to mention the ability, the network is not weak.

"So it belongs to Mr. Han."

Qin Wenyuan nodded suddenly.

Zhao Yeqin said: "Master Han likes architecture, and also likes to study sculpture. This stone sculpture was carved by Mr. Han himself."

Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but sighed: "Master Han's carving method is also at the level of a master."

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

At this time, an angry voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Qin Wenyuan followed the sound and saw Yuanwailang Han Xun striding in.

Han Xun walked like a tiger, looking in good spirits, he smiled heartily, and cupped his hands to Qin Wenyuan, saying: "You don't dare to be an official, Mr. Qin said that the master is sure, and the carving of an official is just to pass the time with nothing to do, and the real master of craftsmanship Much worse than that."

Qin Wenyuan laughed and said: "I don't understand carving skills. I just look at it from the perspective of an ordinary observer. I only think that this fierce tiger is carved so lifelike, especially the color matching of the eyes is full of boldness and imagination. Make an impression on me.”

Han Xun laughed, picked up the stone carving, and said, "It's an honor to be liked by Mr. Qin."

With that said, Han Xun put the stone carving in a box.

Seeing this, Qin Wenyuan asked curiously, "Master Han, what do you want?"

Han Xun said: "A few days ago, the stone sculpture fell to the ground, and the ear was knocked off. Xiaguan plans to take it back, study it carefully, and see if it can be repaired."

Zhao Yeqin felt ashamed when he heard the words, and he said, "It's all because the officials didn't pay attention when they walked."

Han Xun smiled and waved his hands: "This is not intentional by Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao doesn't need to worry about it."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Han Xun and said, "Master Han is really kind."

Han Xun said with a smile: "They are all colleagues. Besides, I also know Mr. Zhao's personality. He really didn't do it on purpose, but it's just a small object. There's no need to hold on to it."

Zhao Yeqin was moved.

Qin Wenyuan said: "The relationship between Mr. Han and Mr. Zhao is really enviable."

Han Xun said: "They are all colleagues fighting side by side, so the relationship is naturally better."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly, and extended an invitation: "Master Han, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Han Xun hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The lower official has to help with the case file, this..."
