The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 362 The Lord of the Casino
The next day, the rain stopped.

Father Song Hui took the people from Chahaus to inspect the ruins of Wanli Casino to see if they could find any useful clues in the ruins of the fire site
And Wang Zhenwei, the head of the anti-theft department of Dali Temple, also came to support.

Just last night, Liu Wangshu, who went to Pingshan County, Jizhou, rushed back to Dali Temple day and night. The guards in Dali Temple, the sacred capital, were liberated, and Wang Zhenwei was able to spare himself to support Wannian County.

At the same time, Wang Zhenwei also brought a piece of news.

"My lord, this is the secret letter Master Ji asked me to bring to you!"

Yang Qingyuan took a bamboo joint brought by Wang Zhenwei, and its seal was sealed with wax and stamped with the official seal of Guangwen Division to prove the integrity of the seal.

This is already the second highest level of intelligence in Dali Temple!Unless it is designated to be handed over to a specific person, only those with more than two bars are eligible to unseal it for inspection.

Yang Qingyuan opened the wax seal, and inside was a ciphertext coded in numbers.

The password dictionary was compiled by Yang Qingyuan, and it has been memorized in his heart, so there is no need to look through the dictionary.

Because Yang Qingyuan narcissistically used his original and borrowed poetry collection as the password dictionary of Dali Temple.

"According to...Li...Yue...er...remember...five...days...before...yaya...suspect...seemed...been...in...God...have... seen...his...father..."

"According to Li Yueer's recollection, five days ago, Yaya suspected that she had seen her father in God's City!?"

Li Yue'er is Fang Yuan's subordinate, and was also in charge of taking care of Ya Ya.

At this time, there were only Wang Zhenwei, Di Zhiyuan and Yang Qingyuan in the room.

"Is this what Siji Ji found out?!" Di Zhiyuan asked.

This information is confirming a conjecture made by Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan.

There may be something wrong with Li Shou's appearance! !The murderer might have disguised himself as Li Shou's appearance, and even Li Shou's appearance was very similar to the murderer's!The murderer kept his mouth shut because he was afraid of being recognized.

Di Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, "It's a pity, everyone who may have seen Li Shou is dead now! Originally there were Yaya and Grandma Li, but I didn't expect the murderer to be so ruthless and decisive."

Yang Qingyuan was noncommittal, but said slowly:

"It's meaningless to say these things now! The question is how to find out the person who may look similar to Li Shou!?"

Shendu is the largest city in the world, and its registered and unregistered population, combined, is estimated to be 700 million!
Among these people, finding someone is no different from finding a needle in a haystack? !
"One more clue!"

Yang Qingyuan put on a whaleskin glove, and took out a white jade fan pendant from the evidence bag in his arms.

"This is the fan pendant I got from Liu's residence. According to Meng Jue, this is the token of love exchanged between Ms. Liu and 'Li Shou'!"

Di Zhiyuan and Wang Zhenwei on the side also put on whale leather gloves.

"This fan pendant, Ms. Liu... Ms. Meng regards it as a treasure. After Meng Xue died, it was kept by Meng Jue. Therefore, there should not be many fingerprints on it, and there may even be only Li Shou, Meng Xue, and Meng Jue. Human fingerprints."

Di Zhiyuan also smiled, "In other words, Li Shou's fingerprints can be found on it!"

"If you find fingerprints that don't belong to Li Shou, Meng Xue's father and daughter, then this is left by the person who pretended to be 'Li Shou' and raped and killed Meng Xue!"

"This is really in line with the words of the adults, 'The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and there is another village'!"

Yang Qingyuan also smiled, "Of course!"

Wang Zhenwei on the side was stunned when he heard it, explaining that Li Shou, pretending to be Li Shou, staying with Yang Qingyuan, Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu, is easy to lose his mind!
Everyone laughed at Ye Jianhan, but everyone was Ye Jianhan!

Sometimes, being a swordsman or a thug can make life much more nourishing!

Not only that, Yang Qingyuan also collected Meng Xue's thumbprints in Mengxue's boudoir, and at the same time collected the thumbprints of Meng Xue's close maid—the dead Haruyuki.

After removing the distractors, what is left is the answer.

Yang Qingyuan took out pattern revealing powder and sprinkled it on the white jade fan pendant. This step should have been done in a dark room, but to save time, although Wang Zhenwei and Di Zhiyuan couldn't see it, Yang Qingyuan's Dao Tong added The double buff of the innate body can see fingerprints clearly with the naked eye, coupled with his amazing memory of words and graphics, let Yang Qingyuan directly become a fingerprint scanner.

"Zhiyuan, bring the paper with Li Shou's fingerprint on it!"

Di Zhiyuan and Wang Zhenwei on the side looked at the white jade fan pendant in Yang Qingyuan's hand, completely unaware of what happened!
I stared at the white jade fan pendant for a long time, but found nothing, and felt lonely!
Although I don't know what Yang Qingyuan saw!But Di Zhiyuan obediently took over the three pieces of paper stamped with Li Shou's thumbprint!
Yang Qingyuan glanced at it with a solemn expression!

Now there is conclusive evidence to prove that Li Shou is not the one who made a private decision with Meng Xue for life!

The case has made great progress.

But at the same time, it means that an unjust case happened right under the nose of Dali Temple, and even Dali Temple had two chances to correct it, but they both missed it!
"My lord, what's the result?!" Seeing Yang Qingyuan's expression, Di Zhiyuan asked.

"I extracted a total of five different thumbprints on this white jade fan pendant!"

Yang Qingyuan continued, "One of them belonged to the deceased Meng Xue, and two belonged to his father Meng Jue! But there are two fingerprints that don't belong to anyone known!"

"It's not Li Shou's?!"

Yang Qingyuan replied, "It's not Li Shou, nor Meng Xue's maid! These should be the fingerprints left by the murderer we're looking for!"

Di Zhiyuan also looked solemn. He also participated in the review of this case and did not find out the problem!
"Then what should we do now!?"

Wang Zhenwei at the side looked at the two intellectuals, and asked the questions that Ye Jianhan had asked in the past.

Indeed, although there is the mysterious fake 'Li Shou' fingerprint, in this era, fingerprints can only be used as evidence to prove the facts of the crime, and it is undoubtedly a dream to find the perpetrator through fingerprints.

Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan looked at each other, now they can only see what clues there are in Wanli Casino!

In the evening, Father Song Hui came back!
"How is Mr. Song?!"

Father Song Hui shook his head, "There are not many clues to be found! There are soot in the mouths of all the dead, and because of the floor tiles of the gambling house and the heavy rain, the method of drawing corpses in flax has lost its effect! But judging from the scene, The dead in the casino should have died in the fire!"

After saying this, Father Song Hui took out a broken pottery fragment from an evidence bag.

"But one thing can be confirmed, this fire is man-made!"

Di Zhiyuan was wearing whaleskin gloves and picked up broken pottery, and seemed to smell a strange smell.

"Zhiyuan doesn't need to smell it! It's the smell of kerosene, I've smelled it before in the fire!"

"Other than that, there is something special to gain!"

A big fire followed by heavy rain washed away all the remaining clues. Even with Song Huifu's ability, he couldn't find too many clues.

The investigation once again stalled.

But at night, a Lingfeng pigeon from the capital broke the current predicament.

"My lord, Master Di! Mr. Song! Information from the capital!"

Wang Zhenwei took the small note and rushed all the way through the door.

Yang Qingyuan took the note and began to translate it.

"According to intelligence, Zhou Mingsheng and Feng Qian are behind Wanli Casino!"

Feng Qian, the grandson of Feng Wuyi, the Duke of Ying (yǐng), is considered a rare hero among the noble children. Not only is he capable of both civil and military skills, but he also has friends with many talented scholars and famous ladies!The network is broad, the person is unrestrained!His grandfather Ying Guogong Feng Wuyi died of illness early, but survived from Taizu's sword.It is also the top nobleman in the capital today, second only to the four palaces.

"My lord, who is this Zhou Mingsheng?!"

Father Song Hui and Di Zhiyuan knew Feng Qian's name, but Zhou Mingsheng had never heard of it!
"Zhou Mingsheng is a businessman!" Yang Qingyuan replied.

"merchant?!"

A merchant, and Feng Qian's identity is too different!How did the two sides cooperate together! ?
But Yang Qingyuan's subsequent question and answer explained this problem.

"Although Zhou Mingsheng is a merchant and has no official status, he is the younger brother of the Crown Princess Zhou Mingyu, and also the brother-in-law of the Crown Prince."

Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu looked at each other, but they still hadn't heard of it.

"You haven't heard of it, and it's normal. This Zhou Mingsheng is different from ordinary relatives of the emperor. This person not only causes trouble in the capital, but hides his identity and associates with talents from all walks of life. Although he is in business, he is also a law-abiding person. There is no violation of the law! Therefore, the reputation in the capital is not obvious. This person's ambition is not small!"

As the prince's brother-in-law, it is taboo to make friends with talented scholars and nobles from all walks of life!

Everyone in the world thinks that Yang Qingyuan is a princeling, but he is not.

Although Yang Qingyuan severely injured the King of Chu in the water transportation case, making him almost lose the chance to compete with the prince, it was not Yang Qingyuan's original intention to help the prince.

Yang Qingyuan has the same attitude as Yu Yanyi, Qian Muqian, Wang Hua and others, not involved in the crown prince dispute.

For future emperors, as long as there is no major problem with their conduct, it will be the same for them.

The emperor is virtuous, and naturally everyone is happy.

It doesn't matter if the emperor is mediocre, the cabinet was set up to share the worries of the emperor.

For them, the important thing is that there is a normal person sitting in this seat. As for who is sitting, it doesn't really mean much.

Even if the king of Chu is in power, he still dare not do anything to Yang Qingyuan.

Yang Qingyuan represents not one person!It is the pillars of this group of future kingdoms in the 13 years of Yongan, the Imperial Academy and Shilin, and the Taoist forces headed by Wudang.

In the imperial court, even the appointment of an official position was not decided by the emperor.

The appointment of senior officials is to be recommended by the court, nominated by senior cabinet ministers of various ministries, and approved by more than [-]% of the officials who participated in the court selection, and then reported to the emperor for approval.

For example, Yang Qingyuan's Dali Temple Shaoqing's seat was recommended by the court!

If the emperor directly appoints an official without going through the procedure, this person is not even born in the orthodox imperial examination.

Then it will arouse fierce opposition from the entire civil servant group.

If someone was like Taizu, he wouldn't necessarily care about the attitude of the civil servants!Because even if the civil servants object, he can still control the world!

But the king of later generations does not have the courage to turn against the entire civil servant group.

If you want to learn from Taizu, you can only see the country overthrow and the society in turmoil.

For thousands of years, there is only such a great ancestor!
One hundred thousand lives of owls have been killed, and the sword at the waist is still bloody.

Killing and abstaining from greed are the only ones through the ages.

Having said that, Yang Qingyuan's attitude towards the prince is also cautious, after all, he is the crown prince of the country, if it is not a last resort, there is no need to turn his face.

When they heard the name of the crown prince, Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu beside him also frowned slightly.

"My lord, do you think Zhou Mingsheng and Feng Qian have anything to do with this case! Could they be behind the scenes?"

Feng Qian and Zhou Mingsheng are extremely qualified people now!
Yang Qingyuan didn't dare to make a statement, "It's hard to say now, but tomorrow, I'm going back to the capital!"

He had to go back to Beijing to investigate Feng Qian and Zhou Mingsheng with the help of Six Doors and Shenhou Mansion.

The next day, when Yang Qingyuan was about to get up and return to Beijing, a policeman came to report!
"My lord, there is a group of people! They came to the ruins of the fire site and wanted to investigate the fire site! They were stopped by the brothers! They are about to start!"

"Go, go and see!"

This group of people came a bit abruptly, which made Yang Qingyuan feel strange!
"This place has now been sealed off by Dali Temple, and no one else is allowed to enter!"

A group of arresters from Dali Temple stood in front of them holding their saber handles with their left hands.

"What if we want to force our way in?!"

Just when the leader finished speaking, Yang Qingyuan's voice came with his true essence!
"Those who make intrusions will be punished as obstructing public affairs, and all will be taken down!"

When the arresters of Dali Temple heard Yang Qingyuan's voice, their momentum rose instantly! !

"Keng!"

"Zheng!"

The sword in the palm is slightly out of the sheath, thinking it is shocking.

"who!?"

Seeing the sudden tough attitude of the Dali Temple police officer, the leader immediately asked loudly.

Yang Qingyuan stepped forward slowly, and threw a token to the leader, "Dali Temple Shaoqing Yang Qingyuan!"

The leader looked at the badge, but didn't see what it looked like. They were noble family generals. Although they knew Yang Qingyuan's reputation, they only felt that he was a fourth-rank official, that's all!

"What is Dali Temple!? How dare you take care of the affairs of our Duke Ying's mansion!?"

Yang Qingyuan's face was slightly cold, he didn't expect there to be such rampant people in the capital!
Immediately, Yang Qingyuan sent out his sword energy and slashed horizontally, creating a horizontal ditch three feet long and five feet wide in front of the group of people.

"Shut up!"

At the same time, they shouted loudly and reprimanded several servants of Duke Ying's mansion.

A figure came galloping from a distance.

The servant of Duke Ying's mansion saw it and immediately saluted, "See you, my lord!"

The person who came was none other than Feng Qian, the grandson of Duke Ying Feng Wuyi.

"Who gave you the courage to say such words that despise the dignity of the law?! The reputation of my Duke Ying's mansion was ruined by you gang of slaves!"

While speaking, Feng Qian kicked the leader, grabbed the token of Dali Temple from his hand, and walked in front of Yang Qingyuan.

"Master Yang meets again!"

Yang Qingyuan naturally gave back a third of the face given by others.

"Why did the little prince come here!?"

"Oh, Wanli Casino here is also one of my properties. I heard about the fire last night, so I rushed here to check the damage."

Feng Qian opened the folding fan and continued, "I just entered the city, and I visited the magistrate of Wannian County first, so I let these little servants do whatever they want, and speak wild words. You don't have to worry about it, Master Yang. , kill when you kill!"

Different from the arrogance of several servants, Feng Qian's attitude is very low!
