Start with detective Li Yuanfang

@@"Brother, you can take me with you on this matter of sincerity, I promise to do a good job!"

"Didn't you follow Taoist Tao to seek immortality?"

"Brother...Taoist Tao has not returned yet, and Li Shizhen, who was severely punished by him, has become a miracle doctor...What if, I mean, if Taoist Tao is not that powerful, what should I do?"

"Then go back and take the exam. As the younger brother of a Jinshi, you can't even pass the exam for a scholar. How can I save my face if it spreads?"

"Isn't brother a fellow Jinshi?"

"What did you say!"

He Maocai's beard blew up, and he was furious. Kong Wu's powerful arms lifted He Jing up.

"Brother, spare your life, brother, spare your life!"

He Jing's face turned pale, and he was really afraid that this mighty-looking clan brother would throw himself to the ground with thin arms and legs, and something would happen to him.

He Maocai, a top three Jinshi in the [-]th year of Jiajing, was born with the same Jinshi.

This fame is actually quite disgusting. How glorious it is to be a Jinshi, but it has become the same as Jinshi, which means the same as Jinshi, but this just shows that the two are different, and they are defective products.

The Ming Dynasty was not as good as the Song Dynasty. Zhang Dun of the Song Dynasty was dissatisfied with his nouns, so he could not be honored and retake the exam in the next subject.

Not to mention the fact that Jinshi had no chance at the Hanlin Academy, there was no noble official in Beijing, and he was basically released to the outside world, either with outstanding achievements or working up and down. famous retirement home.

He is not willing to be like this for the rest of his life, so he can only study carefully, hoping to make a name for himself, and moreover, he must seize the opportunity invited by the sincere uncle to investigate the secret practices of the thieves by the Qinhuai River and make contributions.

"Stay well, dare to cause trouble for me, come back and unload your legs!"

After scaring the idiot He Jing to death, He Maocai threw him away, strode out, got on his horse, and headed for the Qinhuai River.

When he arrived at the appointed place, he called out the spies first, and asked if there was anything unusual in the painting boats in the various buildings in the past two days.

These people are local snakes, and after reporting everything in detail, He Maocai had an idea, straightened his clothes, and waited for Uncle Chengyi's arrival with some excitement.

Although Liu Shiyan is not comparable to his ancestor Liu Bowen, since the Tumu Fortress Change, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty have also died in sevens and eighties. Together with the generals, they can only live on the breath of civil officials.

But the so-called civil servants are high-ranking officials who stand at the top of the various ministries, and they are high-ranking officials from all over the country, not a small person like him who has been pushed to the edge.

Xungui is a skinny camel who is bigger than a horse. In Nanjing, where the network of contacts is dense, Liu Shiyan's energy is definitely not small, and it is good enough to make friends.

"My previous dream was to serve my old school, but now it seems that I can't aim too high!"

Just as He Maocai was correcting his attitude towards life, the sound of horseshoes came, and two steeds appeared in front of them through the night.

He took a closer look and couldn't help being stunned.

The leading rider was none other than Chengyi Bo Liu Shiyan. He didn't have any guards, but just brought an extraordinary man with him.

What made He Maocai's heart sink was that Liu Shiyan's face was heavy and his brows were furrowed. After meeting him, he said, "Master He, does Tianxiang have any clues?"

He Maocai's brain turned rapidly, and he cupped his hands and said: "Back to Uncle, Tianxiang is indeed a little strange. There is a prostitute named Du Jiuniang who despises the old bustard for being greedy and unrighteous. I'm sick, and I heard that recently there are thieves haunting the boat where she is, plotting to do something wrong."

Liu Shiyan's expression was heavy when he heard the front, and even more puzzled when he heard the last: "What are you doing with the thieves?"

He Maocai said: "This woman is outstanding in talent and appearance, she has fascinated many princes and grandchildren, all of them spend a lot of money, store it in the treasure chest in their hands, and accumulate huge wealth, and she fell out with the old bustard in order to be good, without protection, she is now dying If you have a huge fortune, you will be coveted, I'm afraid the thief was found by the bustard, and if you can't get someone, you won't let the money go!"

Liu Shiyan said angrily: "These old bustards are really detestable, extremely hateful!"

After all, he felt a little quiet behind him, turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, do you think there are thieves who deliberately pretended to be evil?"

Acting like me, cheating Du Jiuniang, this poor woman wants revenge, finds the wrong revenge, and makes my husband and wife a scapegoat? "

Li Yan frowned slightly: "Uncle, don't worry, I already have some ideas about this matter, but there are still some things I can't figure out."

He didn't fully believe what Chen Jingqi said, not that Chen Jingqi deliberately deceived, but that the Seventh Young Master also heard it from hearsay, not from personal experience.

He also didn't fully believe in Liu Shiyan. This person was indeed not a double-faced hypocrite, but it was not impossible for him to start chaotically and end up abandoning him.

For this sincere uncle, maybe it was just drinking and making random promises, and he didn't take it to heart at all, but for a firework woman, being able to marry into the Earl's mansion is undoubtedly the best destination, and it is regarded as a life-saving straw.

So this story makes sense from Liu Shiyan's point of view.

But it doesn't make sense from Du Shiniang's point of view.

In ancient times, the status of women gradually decreased throughout the dynasties, and this was true for ordinary women, as well as prostitutes.

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew that women still had a certain degree of autonomy, and could cooperate with the bustards to open a small courtyard with a single family. In the Song Dynasty, officials and prostitutes were strictly governed, and this kind of autonomy was impossible to have. In the Ming Dynasty, exploitation and oppression can be seen everywhere.

Du Jiuniang's ability to attract Mr. Wang and grandson and detain a treasure chest of wealth from the old bustard shows that this woman's methods are not simple. She can make Mr. Wang and grandson dizzy, and she has to be slick and considerate to the people around her. If Liu Shiyan just made a promise after drinking, she would be confused How could Du Jiuniang, who has seen countless people, entrust her life easily, and put herself in after she couldn't get what she wanted?
As for the thief pretending to be Liu Shiyan, he coaxed him for a long time, and finally made Du Jiuniang unable to stop.
Not to mention that a nobleman has been lingering in the place of fireworks for a long time, there must be witnesses, whether there will be conflicts with the whereabouts of the real Liu Shiyan, even this takes too much effort.

If you can really pretend to be Cheng Yibo vividly, you can do too many things, and you don't need to use a talented prostitute to become a famous prostitute.

This story of chaos and abandonment seems quite strange to Li Yan. At this time, he glanced at He Maocai who looked very fierce: "Master He, can we find out the whereabouts of these thieves and find out what happened to Du Jiuniang's boat in the past few days?" , how many people come in and out?"

He Maocai didn't dare to eavesdrop on Uncle Chengyi's whisper, but he was secretly looking at this person, and felt that this person was definitely not a follower, and seeing him now was even more certain, so he immediately said: "Please wait a moment, I will ask, Report now!"

Li Yan nodded: "Trouble."

He Maocai went there in a hurry, and after returning within half an hour, he brought news: "Du Jiuniang's painting boat has been almost empty these few days, and only some outsiders have been brought in for food for this girl and several personal servants."

Liu Shiyan was slightly startled: "Are there only a few women in the boat?"

He Maocai knew what was strange about him, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Du Jiuniang has an old friend who works in Jinyiwei. During this period, he has come here many times. It can be seen that the remaining love is not enough, which has attracted the fear of thieves."

Liu Shiyan's face changed, but he also understood: "So those thieves are waiting, waiting for Du Jiuniang to die before taking the treasure box?"

He Maocai said: "Exactly."

Li Yandao: "How long has the thief been here? How did they judge that Du Jiuniang is about to die?"

He Maocai said: "It should be that they bought the maidservant next to Du Jiuniang. According to my online report, these thieves are still showing signs of killing each other these days. It seems that they have waited for a long time and have disagreements over financial distribution!"

Li Yan nodded slightly: "Please trouble Master He to bring the old bustard."

He Maocai went again.

But Liu Shiyan looked at the painting boat moored on the Qinhuai River in the distance, and couldn't help it: "Mr. Li, shouldn't we first determine the method of cursing my wife?"

Li Yandao: "Since this woman is as seriously ill and dying as the respected wife, it is a kind of evil magic that will hurt both sides. As for the media, I am afraid that she deliberately collected the hair of the lady and used it to curse. The method is vicious. It seems that Du Jiuniang hates it. Seeing through Mrs. Zun, I thought it was her jealousy that prevented my happiness."

Liu Shiyan's body trembled when he heard this, and his eyes were red: "No disaster, no disaster! I don't know what Du Jiuniang is at all, but
To suffer like this, pity my wife."

Li Yan asked: "If this woman uses the method of cursing to poison Mrs. Zun, should we do it directly? Or should we invite someone else?"

Liu Shiyan blurted out: "Of course I went to Chaotian Palace and Shenlian to invite Taoist priests!"

Li Yan then asked: "Since that's the case, why didn't Uncle invite you earlier?"

Liu Shiyan calmed down, showing disgust: "The Taoist priests of Baiyun Temple have also been famous for a long time. As a result, Xiannei not only did not get better, but even vomited blood. Her body?"

Li Yan had heard a similar statement from the housekeeper before, and after confirming it from Liu Shiyan again, he knew it.

At this moment, He Maocai brought the old bustard, and while Liu Shiyan stepped forward to ask about the specific situation, Li Yan called out in a low voice: "Xiaoqian!"

Xiaoqian floated out.

Li Yan took out a stack of bank notes to her, and when Xiaoqian counted the bank notes over and over again in ecstasy, he whispered something in her ear.

Xiaoqian lowered her head, obviously unwilling, Li Yan said: "This is to save people, you will become a good ghost, and you will have meritorious deeds in the future."

Only then did Xiaoqian reluctantly float towards the boat, and she floated back after a while, lying on her back skillfully, and unexpectedly said something new: "It's Zhang San, it's Zhang San."

The soft voice echoed in Li Yan's ears, but to Li Yan, it was the most convincing evidence: "It turned out to be the case, the hell ghost messenger really saved a life this time, and such an unbelievable case, I'm afraid it's only in This world can only achieve”
