Dajin royal family

Chapter 111
Jiashanfang is an ordinary street in Chang'an, and most of the people living in it are landowners or merchants with small assets. To the west of it is a small house covering an area of ​​more than ten mu.On this day, several Chang'an guards came to the gate of the house in a hurry and knocked on the door.

The housekeeper opened the door, saw the servants outside smiled, and said, "Happy New Year, all young gentlemen."

The leader is a Chang'an servant, whose surname is Yin and whose name is Shu, and his colleagues call him Ashu.

"Housekeeper, is Brother Shangguan there?"

"Yes, Ah Lang is playing chess with his friends, is there something wrong with Brother Yin?"

Ah Shu nodded, "Hurry up and take me there, I'm in a hurry."

In the inner house, Shangguan Di was holding the sunspots, looking at the chessboard with both eyes, thinking hard about where to place the next move.Opposite him was a young scribe sitting kneeling, with an ordinary appearance and a faint smile on his face.

"Huaiying, admit defeat, you have never beaten me in chess." The scribe took a sip of the tea and said with a smile.

Shangguan Di rolled his eyes, "Don't even think about it, because of my good grandma Qing, don't think about me giving up easily."

The scribe was noncommittal, and stretched out his hand to ask him to settle.

Shangguan Di thought for a while, then put Hei Zi down.The scribe laughed, twisted the white stones and blocked his way of life.Seeing this, Shangguan Di shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, Xuan Zao's chess skills are not as good as mine, Grandma Qing let you do it." Saying this, he put the chess pieces back into the chess cup.

The scribe chuckled, "Then respect is worse than obedience."

At this moment, Ah Shu came in with his servants.When Shangguan Di saw the person coming, he smiled and said, "Ashu, why are you here today? Didn't you agree that the brothers will get together during the Lantern Festival?"

Ah Shu hurriedly said: "Brother, it's not good, someone died in Baiye Wine Shop."

"what?"

Ever since Dalin Temple was publicly guided by a certain county, Shangguan Di no longer plays tricks on things.Sometimes even if he understands that something cannot be done, he will try it once, even if the final result is not what he wants, but at least he tried his best, worthy of his conscience, and at the same time he can afford the bowl of rice he eats.

Therefore, when Ah Shu told him about the death of the Baiye Winery, he immediately took people with him and went straight to the Baiye Winery regardless of the annual rest.

Arriving at the scene of the crime, it was already surrounded by Chang'an police officers. Shangguan Di entered the room where the deceased was, and was speechless seeing the scene in front of him.

A dead body was lying on the couch, and an elderly man in his 50s in a thin tunic danced on the couch, dancing and saying: "I will become a fairy, I will become a fairy"

Seeing this, he still can't understand, this person obviously has a lot of loose cinnabar, and now he is getting sick.

"County lieutenant, one of these two people is called Cui Zifu, who is the assistant official of the Ministry of Rites. The dead body is called Gu Yang, who is his friend. According to the testimony of the owner of the restaurant and the servant, the two came at noon. After entering the room, they began to take medicine. Danshashi powder, Gu Yang must have taken too much dose, and that's why he died." Ah Shu said from the side.

"Can the coroner be invited?" Shangguan Di frowned and asked.

"It's gone."

Shangguan Di looked at the unrestrained Cui Zifu and let out a "bah" inwardly. After all, he was an assistant official of the Ministry of Rites, but he actually took such harmful things in public. It was really a waste of reading the sages.Although the Jin Dynasty did not prohibit this kind of food, it was different from the admiration in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the Jin Dynasty, few people were willing to eat this kind of food. Everyone knew that it was a harmful food.

He walked over and squatted down, carefully looked at Gu Yang's body, and found that his face was flushed and his abdomen was swollen, which was indeed caused by taking a large amount of stone powder.

At this time, many people had already gathered outside the guest room. In order to reduce the impact, Shangguan Di ordered: "Take these two people and the corpses back to the government office. By the way, Ah Shu, go and find out which medicine hall is nearby. Manage danshashisan, and bring all their owners to me."

"Yes."

Shangguan Di frowned as he watched the servants carry the corpse, and another servant picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on for Cui Zifu. At this moment, a piece of white paper fell from Cui Zifu's clothes.

The guard picked up the blank paper and handed it to Shangguan Di. At first, Shangguan Di didn't care. It's not uncommon for an official of the Ministry of Rituals to hide a blank paper in his clothes. It might be poetry or something else. He opened it and glanced casually. Then the eyes straighten.

His breathing became heavier and his eyes gradually turned red. The white paper in his hand turned out to be a sacrificial letter. Not only was it engraved with the seal of the jade seal, but more importantly, he knew the font on it, which was written by Yu Shiji, the inner secretary. .

The reason why he knew this handwriting was because of Tang Ji's case last time. At that time, he was assisted by chivalrous men and solved the case.He was lucky enough to have a glimpse of the decree, and the handwriting on it was exactly the same as this one.

That is to say, this is a true sacrificial letter.How could Cui Zifu, an assistant official of the Ministry of Rites, have a sacrificial letter on his body, and it was a sacrificial letter before the New Year's Eve.He suddenly remembered the rumors in the court not long ago that there was a mistake in the sacrificial ceremony of the Ministry of Rites, and all officials of the Ministry of Rites were dismissed and investigated.

Gollum!

Swallowing his saliva, Shangguan Di put away the sacrificial papers, and then left in a hurry with his servants.

Originally, he thought it was a simple drug-taking death case, but he never expected that he would find this sacrificial letter. Shangguan Di Yinyin felt that he might give Ming Fu a headache again.

On the third floor of Baiye Winery, Mr. Si leaned against the window, looked at the guards who were going away quietly, smiled humorously, and turned to look at Fatty Lin who was standing in the room, "Go, I guess Shangguan Di will check it out later. To you, remember how to say it?"

Fatty Lin nodded, "Remember, don't worry, Lord Si."

Chang'an County Government.

The county magistrate of Chang'an is a very low-key person. He knows how capable he is and who gave him the county magistrate.His idea is very simple, he does not seek idle merit, but seeks no faults, does not seek great wealth, but seeks small assets.

He has also made a lot of money in these years, and he has already thought about it. In two years, when he is 60 years old, he will be honored to be an official, and he will go home happily to embrace his grandson.But God seems to be joking with him. In his last career in officialdom, first the Chang'an official murder case broke out, then the Yushi Tangji case, and now
"What happened, why did I have to call my mansion back to the Yamen today." The magistrate of Chang'an was very unhappy and asked the guard who came out to greet him.

These two days are annual holidays. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to stay at home and celebrate the New Year happily?What a fart.

The guard explained: "My lord, someone died in Baiye Winery."

"Ah?!" Chang'an County Magistrate's head instantly grew bigger when he heard it, why did the New Year's Eve die?He hurriedly asked: "What's going on, who is the murderer?"

The guard said: "It seems that I have eaten too much cinnamon powder."

The magistrate of Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was another vendetta, so he said angrily: "Next time, I will finish speaking once. Master, I was frightened by you."

It's not a vendetta. Since he took medicine and died, he deserved it. What does it have to do with them? This Shangguan Di really made a big fuss, so he must be taught a good lesson this time.

Shangguan Di is interrogating Fatty Lin in a side room of the county government.

"Cui Zifu said that his elixir was given to him by you, why?"

Fatty Lin smiled wryly and said: "My lord, I don't want to give it to him either. In fact, this elixir is left over from the former owner's family. The villain also knew that it was a harmful thing, so he didn't plan to make it. But Master Cui is from the Ministry of Rites. Senior official, the villain is just a merchant, so if he wants credit, the villain dare not refuse."

Shangguan Di frowned, then asked: "How much did you give him?"

Fatty Lin cried, "I gave him all 22 pills, which are worth a lot of money."

22 pills, no wonder Gu Yang ate it to death, that idiot Cui Zifu is still out of his mind.

"Did Cui Zifu get the pills from you these few days?"

Fatty Lin nodded, with tears on his face, "Master Cui wants to pay on credit every time. Although the villain doesn't want to give it, but the villain is afraid that Master Cui will let the servants seal the villain's shop directly, so I give it to him. Villain I really didn’t know Master Cui would eat so much at one time, please enlighten me.”
