Chapter 959 Doubt
After spending most of the night at the Zhang family's mansion, the body was brought back to the Yamen by the Yamen servants of Chang'an Mansion and placed in the morgue. If it is necessary to solve the case in the future, it still needs to be inspected by the foreman.

After Jin Wuwei left Zhang's house, he stepped up his patrol at night. Because of the curfew, there were not many people on the street at night. If he encountered any suspicious person, Jin Wuwei could take it down directly.

Early the next morning, the governor of Chang'an reported the matter to Dali Temple. After Dai Zhou came back from the palace in the morning, he saw the case reported below.

"There hasn't been such a murder case in Chang'an for some years. By the way, isn't Xuan Shijing in Chang'an? Let his Shenhou Mansion investigate this matter, and we can save some time." Dai Zhou said: "If you find out, just send him to Dali Temple."

Since the establishment of the Shenhou Mansion, I have to say that Dai Zhou really saves a lot of trouble, and he doesn't have to worry about it. When necessary, someone will take the blame, so why not do it.

"My lord, the Marquis of Dongshan is currently investigating the incident related to the attack on the crown prince, and His Majesty acquiesced in the Shenhou Mansion's investigation. Now let's push the case to the Shenhou Mansion. Do you think His Majesty will?"

Dai Zhou waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's not the same. Are they all investigations? Just investigate the two cases together." Dai Zhou said: "Don't underestimate the group of people in Shenhou's Mansion. Their skills are no better than those around Your Majesty. Difference."

The little official retreated respectfully, and sent the dossier submitted by Chang'an Mansion Yin directly to the Shenhou Mansion next door.

"Yo? The case?" After seeing the file, Fang Yiai opened it directly to read: "Xiao Jing, look, a homicide case occurred in Chang'an City. Three people died in one family. One owner's family and one housekeeper were still alive." There is a concierge who caught fire in the front yard of his house last night, and his autopsy concluded that the body was destroyed."

Fang Yiai walked up to Xuan Shijing with the dossier, and handed the dossier to Xuan Shijing.

"Murder case? How long has it been since such a bad thing happened in Chang'an City?" Xuan Shijing took the file and read it word by word.

After reading it, he turned to Qin Bingyue beside him: "Bingyue, send Jin Yiwei to find out what this family is about."

Qin Bingyue nodded and exited the study.

"It happened last night, Second Brother Fang, send someone to ask about the specific situation of Jinwu Guard who patrolled the city last night." Xuan Shijing said.

"Well, by the way, about the prince." Fang Yiai asked.

"Don't worry about the prince's affairs. The person who hides behind and plots against the prince is not a simple person. He can't find anything for a while. Let's solve this case first." Xuan Shijing said so, but Hearing Fang Yiai mentioning the matter of the prince, my heart was shocked. The prince was attacked on the front foot, and such a murder case occurred out of thin air in Chang'an City on the back foot. Is there any connection between the two?

After waiting for about an hour, Jin Yiwei, who had been sent out to inquire about the details of the Zhang family, returned, and Qin Bingyue also returned to the study and began to report to Xuan Shijing.

"Master Hou, the details of the Zhang family have been found out. The owner of the Zhang family did business in other places, but it seems that he did not make any money. Instead, the deceased made money. The young master of the Zhang family did not do anything serious. I used to do business in Dongshi, but after earning enough money, I quit. I stayed at home, married a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a son. I said that I wanted to give my son good deeds after quitting, even though it was so. Said, but the reason behind it is not just that, the specific reason has not been found out yet, the head of the Zhang family, that is, the father of this Young Master Zhang, brought some servants of the house and the father of the house a few days ago. Most of the money left Chang'an to go to other places to do business, not in the Zhang family, and now the Zhang family has sent people to other places to find someone to inform." Qin Bingyue said: "This young master has not had any grudges with anyone in the past two years. , Therefore, the reason why the three members of the Zhang family were silenced remains to be investigated."

Xuan Shijing listened carefully to Qin Bingyue's report. After listening, he nodded and said: "Since the details of the Zhang family have been investigated, let's continue to investigate who the young master of the Zhang family has been in contact with recently. Some clues can be found in it."

"I have ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate, Lord Hou, don't worry." Qin Bingyue said.

After Jin Yiwei returned to the mansion to report, Qin Bingyue sent people out to continue the investigation. It was impossible to get clues to find the murderer just relying on the dossier of the governor of Chang'an and the autopsy results.

"Okay, let's go to the Zhang family in person, and I have some things to ask the people of the Zhang family." Xuan Shijing said.

Xuan Shijing took Qin Bingyue and the two Jin Yiwei out of Shenhou Mansion and headed straight for Dongshi.

Fangshi, where Zhang's family lives, is very close to Dongshi. Something happened to Zhang's family last night, and now almost everyone in Dongshi is talking about it.

"Then Zhang's family must have done something outrageous, no, it's a disaster."

"Then you are wrong. I heard that this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. The young master of the Zhang family started a baby business in Dongshi a few years ago. This business is very damaging."

"That is, what the young master of the Zhang family did was the immoral thing of buying and selling people. Back then, many women and children were misfortune through his hands. This is retribution."

Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue did not go directly to Zhang's house, but walked around from Dongshi.

Hearing the discussions of the people in Dongshi, Xuan Shijing smiled: "Bingyue, you heard it, it seems that the young master of this family doesn't have a good reputation in Dongshi."

Qin Bingyue nodded: "After all, it is a business of buying and selling people, so the reputation will not be so good."

Mentioning the young master of the Zhang family buying and selling human beings, Qin Bingyue couldn't help but think of herself. Although she was not sent to Yanlai Tower by the human traffickers in the market, the bureaucrats were much more ruthless than these people who bought and sold people. All the effort has been saved, if these babes don't have the government's acquiescence, they won't be so prosperous, no, if the babes do something outrageous, they can still ask the government to reason, but what about the officials?

People are officials.

"Although the reputation is not good, it is also a profitable business. That young master is not old enough to retire to enjoy his old age, so he will not do such a means of making money? Do you believe it when he said that he is doing good for his son? "Xuan Shijing asked.

Qin Bingyue shook her head: "I don't believe it, according to the news from Jin Yiwei, the young master of the Zhang family doesn't look like such a person."

"That is to say, there must be some reason for this young master to wash his hands and quit." Xuan Shijing touched his chin and analyzed: "Perhaps it is also the reason that killed him."

"But why were the housekeeper and porter of the Zhang family killed?" Qin Bingyue asked.
