Chapter 373 Murder at Lanxiang Pavilion ([-]) Second Watch
"So what if it's true? If it's true, then it can be concluded that it was a disease-free murder?" The old monk naturally understood the key point of the case, and while walking towards Qin Wu Bing, he complained: "Are you guilty of the Tai Sui this year? Why do people always want to harm you? It used to be King Chengjun..."

The old monk stopped, he frowned and thought for a while, then said with an oh:

"This time it's that grandson! Others won't use this method to punish you. They will either find an opportunity to kill you directly, or cut your flesh with a small knife behind your back. Such a straightforward planting and framing can only be self-serving as the king of the county, arrogant and short-sighted... ...Why doesn't he have a long memory?!"

Qin Wubing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the old monk to be more transparent than Prince Xiang in this regard.

After hearing this, the eldest princess turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Qin Wubing and persuaded: "It's not the time yet, he won't admit it without proof!"

"How can we find evidence? Even if tortured, the servants of the Lanxiang Pavilion are probably the same as Hu Qian's followers, and what they say is related to you!" the old monk shouted.

Qin Wubing smiled and said: "Their followers are really different. The followers are lying knowing the truth. The servants here may really think that I invited the second son of the Marquis of Wuding's mansion. So, let's Instead of interrogating them, directly interrogate the people at the top."

"Then what can Bai Sheng know? It's just a lucrative business, just ask someone to watch over it. How can he do everything by himself? If you want to find it, you have to recruit the boss of Lanxiang Pavilion..." the old monk asked.

"Being the boss in the capital, or the boss of the brothel... must be cunning. He thinks there is someone behind him. He evades the excuses and cannot tell the truth. It will be a waste of time after interrogation. Bai Sheng will be different if he doesn't tell the truth. Lost his job, even lost his life, what do you think he will do?"

"He will make that boss tell the truth!" The Eldest Princess replied.

Qin Wubing smiled and said: "This is the most time-saving method! Let's go, the smell here is not good for your health."

The old monk watched Qin Wubing lead the eldest princess to the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly asked: "Is this the end? Are you sure there will be no autopsy?"

The Eldest Princess said: "If we find out the instigation behind the scenes, we can know what happened here last night without an autopsy."

Qin Wubing said while walking:
"When the fire broke out, even if the three people in the house were not dead, they were unconscious. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them not to yell. There is something wrong with the wine they drank, not only the three who died, but also the wine that the maid drank. The problem is, they serve people, no matter how disciplined they are, they should not dare to drink too much, and when they rest on weekdays, one ear must be awake..."

"Yes! Even if the three who died didn't shout, they should have heard the crackling sound of the fire, and they wouldn't wake up until they were almost burned!" The old monk said after him.

Zhao Qingyan looked at Qin Wubing holding the eldest princess's hand, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, what a shame!He looked at the old monk, hoping that the old ancestor would reprimand him, but the old monk just looked at him like this, and didn't care about decency at all.

Zhao Qingyan took a deep breath, and secretly made up his mind that after getting Qin Wubing to the government office, he must give a good lecture.

……

Several people left the Orchid Fragrance Garden. There were already people from the Orchid Fragrance Hall waiting outside. Qin Wu pathologically ignored him, and only said to Holmes: "Let them prepare a room, let's take a rest and wait for that one."

It wasn't the only person waiting to be questioned in the Lanxiang Pavilion, everyone was concerned, but Qin Wubing didn't play his cards according to the routine, just didn't ask, and a few people became uneasy.

Soon, these people became even more uneasy, because they saw their real master hastily entered the room where the nobles were resting.

Qin Wubing did not expect Bai Sheng to be an elderly man with white face, white hair, white eyebrows, round body, wrinkled face, and piercing eyes. Qin Wubing felt relieved, at least he was not confused.

When Bai Sheng entered the room, he knelt down and kowtowed. He seemed to be trembling and frightened, but in fact, he was not that flustered in his heart. What kind of battle had he not seen?It's just that Bai Sheng knew the eldest princess's temper, so he was a little apprehensive. Although he had never met this Prince Rui before, he was easy to fool just by looking at his appearance. As for the consort who was a fast catcher...Bai Sheng just snorted coldly in his heart.

The old monk spoke first: "Okay, get up! I didn't call you here to kill you, just tell the truth."

Bai Sheng just stood up tremblingly, when the Eldest Princess asked suddenly, "Are you convicted?"

Bai Sheng knelt down again.

The old monk was not happy:
"As soon as I asked him to stand up, you frightened him. You see, he is getting old. Why can't he talk about it? Is it so easy to survive all his life? Isn't it just to open a brothel in private? If you don't tell me, I will If you don’t say it, if you don’t have any illness, if you don’t say it, if you don’t say it, if you don’t say it, if Holmes doesn’t say it, if you don’t say it, if you don’t say Fengming Erlong, um… then no one will know.”

"Is he still afraid that people will know? He is not afraid of anyone! It's not because of him. The Lanxiang Pavilion can occupy such a good location, such a large area, and charge such an expensive price? Which of these high-ranking officials in the capital can't give him a little face in vain ?! How many court officials are like him, have this dignity?" Princess Dachang said coldly.

Bai Sheng knelt on the ground, facing the ground, his eyes rolled wildly, and the sweat on his forehead began to gather.

He naturally knew that there was a murder case in the Lanxiang Pavilion, but he didn't take it seriously. Naturally, someone would deal with these matters, but it was closed for a few days, and it was back to normal after a few days.

Even if Gu Ying personally invited him to come to the Lanxiang Hall, he was not afraid, it was just to ask questions, he just needed to cry out like a servant, and everything would be fine, even if the emperor knew about it, he would be confident enough to deal with it.

But what the eldest princess said just now was not just about opening a brothel privately, but that his face as an eunuch was greater than that of other officials in the capital. This is not leaving him a way out!
The emperor would not care about the slaves around him stealing some money, but he would never allow these slaves to show off their power outside and forget their status as slaves.
