Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 176
Jiang Wenyuan rarely ate too much wine and returned home, and was helped into Ning's yard drunk.

"Why do you drink so much wine?" As an official, drinking too much in the wine market is the most taboo, and you must bear in mind the truth that disaster comes from the mouth.

Who knows that the person who eats meat and drinks with you is a person or a ghost behind his back, and will he do evil tricks? If you drink too much, if your brain twitches and you say something you shouldn't say, then you will be ginseng and deserve it .

"I drank two more glasses when I had a banquet with Duke Dingguo and his son." Jiang Wenyuan took the hot towel from the envoy and put it on his face to sober up. He still had important matters to discuss with Ning.

"Mr. Dingguo intends to get married with us, and he has followed the path with me." Zhao Yicong was full of sincerity, and he talked about it before the banquet. If the Jiang family agreed, they would immediately send a matchmaker to propose marriage, with three letters and six ceremonies.

"I think this is a good kiss." In the past, Jiang Wenyuan didn't take it seriously when the two children talked about it. It all depends on the children's likes and let them go tossing. If they want to get married, they should give a serious reply.

The Duke of Dingguo has no right to be rich, and the eldest son is a sensible person. There should be no disasters in the family for a hundred years. His daughter will marry in, and there will be no hidden danger of being assigned halfway. It is the parents' greatest wish to live a peaceful and beautiful life. up.

"Ying'er has a good idea, and she needs to get her nod on this matter. We only have such a daughter, so naturally we only hope that she will live a comfortable life in the future."

"Then you can ask her tomorrow."

After discussing the business, the couple took a rest after taking a shower.

Sleeping to the second watch, everything was silent, the door of Jiang's mansion was suddenly knocked urgently: "Mr. Jiang from the Ministry of Punishment, urgent business!" The porter dared not neglect, put on his coat and reported to the second door.

When Jiang Wenyuan came out fully dressed, a stick of incense had passed, and the person who came to pick him up was Zhao Dongzhi's servant, and he bowed to Jiang Wenyuan: "For bothering you at night, I hope Mr. Jiang forgives your sins, and follow the truth in a hurry." , please follow me to the scene, and the rest of the son will explain himself."

Although the capital also does not enforce a strict curfew, it is taboo to run a horse holding a torch in the middle of the night, and it cannot be used in non-emergency situations.Jiang Wenyuan didn't ask any more questions, and got on his horse: "Lead the way ahead."

The scene of the crime was a desolate house near the junction of the North City and the South City. To be precise, it was a dusty two-wheeled carriage parked in front of the gate of this desolate house.

Early on, there was a policeman holding a torch in a circle, illuminating the scene like daylight, Zhao Dongzhi was standing on one side, the firelight imprinted on his face, flickering on and off, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

"Master." Jiang Wenyuan went to greet him.

"Master Jiang." Zhao Dongzhu came back to his senses: "Master Jiang, please go forward and take a look at the scene. If you have anything to say, let's wait until the son of Prince Ping is arresting someone."

Why is there something about Prince Ping's son here?Isn't he busy at home with the concubine who has a dystocia?No one sleeps in the middle of the night?
Jiang Wenyuan didn't think too much about it. Although his official position was slightly higher than that of Zhao Dongzhang, he was a super-class prince of the state. As soon as he heard that Prince Ping's son was involved, he knew that the case must be the same as that of three years ago. The case of Xu Guanzhe's murder was related, he was just an addition, honestly he did what he was asked to do.

Asking too much, managing too much, bored these dignitaries, even a stumbling block is enough for him to drink a pot.

There is nothing unusual about a deserted house, the grass is as high as half a person, and there is not even a stepped road. As soon as you enter the house, half of the thatched cottage has collapsed. You can tell that no one has lived in it for a long time. From time to time, some slight movements came from the grass, probably snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Looking at the carriage again, the appearance is plain, very similar to the carriages used for rent on the street on weekdays, with a coarse cloth canopy, worn wheels, and the horses pulling the carriage are also dark in color and slightly thin.

It may have been startled before, but it was pawing the ground continuously, exhaling hot air, and staring at every human being close to it vigilantly. Behavior.

The hood of the car has been raised high, revealing the inside, three pairs of legs, six feet, and three motionless corpses, the finished products are placed inside the hood.

Sure enough, he was afraid of something, the murderer committed the crime again!The three corpses were not carried out, and it seemed that they were planning to send them directly to the back office of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This case has been going on for many years, and three people were killed a year. In the first two years, the Jingzhao Mansion was involved in the investigation.

Because it was still pending, Prince Ping's son made a big fuss again, so the Ministry of Punishment transferred the previous file and prepared to take over it himself.Therefore, the murder case in the third year will not be sent back to Jingzhao Mansion.

There was the sound of horseshoes from far away and *** Wang Shizi appeared within the range of the fire with a dark face: "Damn it, I lost it!"

Chen Di didn't get off his horse: "I saw with my own eyes that the murderer broke into a flower building in Beicheng, but I don't have enough manpower to seal all the entrances and exits. Dong Zhuo, lend me some manpower, and I will definitely give you the manpower." Catch it back!"

"Wait a minute, my lord!" Seeing that Chen Di turned his head and was about to arrest him again, Zhao Dongzhi hurriedly called him back: "What does your lord want to do by privately dispatching government soldiers to surround the building without a warrant from any government?"

Prince Ping's son belongs to the clan, his surname is Chen. I'm really not afraid of what the guy on the dragon chair thinks too much?Today, they surrounded the brothel under the banner of catching the murderer, but tomorrow they will surround the palace!
"Then what do you want me to do? Let the murderer not be caught, and watch him run away?" Chen Di turned his head, his eyes were bloodshot, he hadn't closed his eyes for days and nights, and things at home were in a mess After all, he finally had a rest earlier today, and another servant came to report that a suspicious carriage was found in Beicheng, and it was parked in front of a deserted house, and he quickly got up to block people.

Xu Guanzhe's death was an eternal wound in Chen Di's heart. Since the government did not act and could not catch the murderer for a long time, it was impossible for him to just wait for those gangsters, so naturally he had to take some action of his own.

In the spring of this year, he sent some people from the mansion to patrol the North and South City every night, focusing on all the deserted houses to see if there were any suspicious persons.

Originally, they hadn't reported their hopes, but now that it was almost Lixia, they had already missed the time. This year, everything was calm, and Chen Di was still secretly disappointed, but the other party really fell into the trap of himself.

It was a bit late when he chased him out. After all, Prince Ping's Mansion is in Xicheng, and it is not close at all. No matter how fast he arrived, he couldn't run as fast as the other party.

Every cell in the body is clamoring to rush in and arrest people, don't worry about so many, but...

He could risk his life for Xu Guanzhe, but the child is innocent. His son was only five days old and hadn't even opened his eyes.

Once a person has concerns, he must have some scruples in doing things. He was defeated by Zhao Dongzhi's eyes.

I'm sorry, Guanzhe, just wait a little longer.
