Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 559 Too strong! shameless!
Tianji said with some envy: "You are so lucky. After going to Nanzhao, you have so many capable generals under your command."

Qin Wenyuan laughed: "I'm lucky, but I can't help it. Don't envy me. I'm a legend."

Tianji rolled her eyes at Qin Wenyuan, feeling that even though Qin Wenyuan had so many capable soldiers, he was still shameless.

Qin Wenyuan smiled, looked at Si She and said, "Have you contacted the secret guard?"

Dali Temple has a secret guard system, and Si She is responsible for these secret guards.

Sishe nodded slightly.

He said: "He has left a signal. If nothing unexpected happens, someone should come looking for him in a while."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly: "When someone comes here, take him to me. I have something to ask."

"Yes."

After everyone had eaten and drank quickly, they all returned to their rooms to rest.

They have been traveling for the past few days, and everyone is very tired. Now that they have finally returned to Datang, everyone is subconsciously relaxing.

And as soon as I relax, fatigue comes over me like a tide.

........................

So they all went directly to rest.

Qin Wenyuan also fell into sleep.

And this sleep lasted for more than an hour.

He was still woken up by a knock on the door.

Qin Wenyuan stood up and said, "Who?"

Si She's voice came: "Master Qin, our people are here."

When Qin Wenyuan heard this, his eyes flashed.

He stood up directly and opened the door.

Then I saw two people outside the door.

One is a Snake, and the other is a man around thirty years old. This man has an ordinary appearance, the kind that you would never find if thrown into a crowd of people.

........................

Qin Wenyuan knew that this person was a secret guard of Dali Temple.

"come in."

He turned around and led people into the room.

After Sishe closed the door, she said directly to Qin Wenyuan: "Master Qin, something happened in Chang'an."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed suddenly.

He asked directly: "What's going on?"

Then the secret guard of Dali Temple said: "Seven days ago, Mr. Bai Yanguan was involved in a murder case."

"Currently, he has been imprisoned. Since Mr. Bai Xiao is from Dali Temple, your Majesty did not ask the Ministry of Punishment to investigate this time. Instead, he handed it over to Yushitai and Dali Temple for investigation."

"Now we are being led by Yushitai and Master Chu, the young minister of Dali Temple."

Qin Wenyuan frowned when he heard this.

At this time, Bai Yanguan was suddenly involved in the murder case. If it wasn't Bai Yanguan who did it, then it would be obvious that he was targeting Qin Wenyuan!
Because many people know that the two of them have a very good relationship.

Qin Wenyuan frowned, and the look in his eyes was blocked, so that Si She and the others could not see his cold gaze at this moment.

He does not allow...someone to plot against Bai Yanguan.

What's more, this is probably aimed at him.

Bai Yanguan was injured because of him!

This is even more unacceptable to him!

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath to calm down.

He looked at the spy at Dali Temple and asked, "What kind of case is it?"

The spy did not dare to hide anything and said directly: "Eight days ago, a murder occurred in Chang'an City."

"The victim was Zhou Qin, the Minister of Civil Affairs."

"That evening, Master Bai went to Zhou Qin's mansion to find Zhou Qin because of some matters."

"On the way, the servants of the Zhou Mansion heard a quarrel in the hall and thought it was Master Bai and Zhou Qin who had a dispute."

"It's just because Zhou Qin specifically ordered that no one be allowed to approach, so they didn't dare to approach."

"But not long after, they heard a scream. The housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion was worried that something had happened and quickly took people to the main hall to check."

"Then, they discovered that there was a dagger stuck in Zhou Qin's heart."

"Zhou Qin was lying in a pool of blood and had expired."

"Master Bai was also lying next to Zhou Qin. His clothes were messy, there were signs of fighting with others, and there was a scratch on his arm. Some flesh and blood was found in Zhou Qin's nails, which matched the on."

"So, the people in the Zhou Mansion thought that Master Bai had a dispute with Zhou Qin, and in a fit of rage, they killed him."

"But Mr. Bai is old after all. After the fight, he may have been too tired and fainted."

"Afterwards, this matter was brought before His Majesty, and His Majesty asked Dali Temple and Yushitai to jointly investigate the case."

Qin Wenyuan listened to the spy's report, and the scene at that time appeared in his mind.

He quickly asked: "At the time of the incident, were Zhou Qin and Lord Bai the only two people in the hall?"

The spy nodded: "That's what the servants of Zhou Mansion said."

"And there were servants busy around the hall at that time. They said they didn't see anyone else entering or exiting the hall before and after the incident, so they can testify that there was absolutely no one else!"

Qin Wenyuan knocked his fingers on the table.

He pondered for a moment and said, "What about Master Bai? Did he wake up later?"

The spy nodded: "I'll wake up in an hour."

"What did Lord Bai say after waking up?" Qin Wenyuan asked.

The spy pursed his lips, looked at Qin Wenyuan, and said in a deep voice: "Master Bai admits it."

Brush it!
Qin Wenyuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

He raised his head straight and looked at the spy. Those eyes were like a vortex, sucking everything in.

He stared at the spy and said, "Master Bai, did you admit it?"

"He admitted it!?"

The spy nodded: "Master Chu knows the relationship between Master Bai and Lord Qin, so after accepting this task, he met with Master Bai first."

"Master Chu specifically asked Master Bai, and then Master Xiao said... He did have a dispute with Zhou Qin, and he did stab Zhou Qin with a dagger."

"It's just that he was too weak and fainted later. He didn't know if he really stabbed Zhou Qin to death, but there was no one else there at the time, so... it could only be him."

Qin Wenyuan frowned.

He never believed that Bai Yanguan would kill anyone!
Bai Yanguan worked as an official of Dali Temple for half his life, and later entered the Ministry of Punishment.

I hate those criminals who murder people the most in my life!
So, how could he do such a thing!

Qin Wenyuan didn't believe it.

But Bai Yanguan admitted it again!
This made Qin Wenyuan not know what to do for a moment.

When deciding a case, the most fearful thing is for the suspect to confess directly.

In this case, if the judicial institution is not serious, it may directly convict the person.

He said: "What did Chu Suiliang say?"

Tantan said: "Master Chu feels that there are still doubts here, and he also feels that Master Bai will not know the law and break the law, so Master Chu decided to continue the investigation. Now he just confines Master Bai to the mansion and does not allow anyone to see him."

Qin Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this case was taken over by Dali Temple.

Otherwise there may be trouble.

He said: "I understand, you continue to do your work, remember, don't mention my return to anyone."

"Yes!"

The spy quickly turned around and left without any hesitation.

Sishe looked at Qin Wenyuan.

Seeing Qin Wenyuan's eyes showing an unprecedented coldness, Qin Wenyuan said: "Leave a message to Hua Zhanchao and the others and ask them to go to Chang'an on their own after arriving here."

"We... set off tomorrow morning and return to Chang'an first!" Qin Wenyuan decided not to wait any longer!

Hua Zhanchao and the others are now completely dispersed. Even if he has a way to contact them, it will take some time.

And since Qin Wenyuan promised them to give them two days, he didn't want to break his promise.

So he decided to leave first by himself and others, and then left a letter to Hua Zhanchao and the others. After they arrived, he could go to Chang'an by himself.

Si She knew that Qin Wenyuan was determined to return because of Bai Yanguan.

So he nodded directly without any doubt: "Okay!"

After saying that, Sishe left and got ready.

Qin Wenyuan sat by the window and looked out the window at Yangzhou.

As an important city in the south of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou is very prosperous and lively.

But it was dark now and the curfew had started, so the streets that were bustling during the day were very quiet at the moment.

Qin Wenyuan looked out the window, but his thoughts had already flown to Chang'an.

He pushed Bai Yanguan's case in his mind.

If this case was not committed by Officer Bai Yan, it would definitely be very difficult to reverse the case.

First of all, the witness is very thorough.

The servants in Zhou Qin's mansion were able to prove that there was no one else during the whole incident.

This also eliminates the possibility of outsiders committing crimes.

Secondly, the physical evidence is also comprehensive.

The murder weapon remained there.

And more importantly... there is Bai Yanguan's flesh and blood in Zhou Qin's nails.

This proves that the two men did have a fierce fight.

It is not impossible to kill someone in a panic!
And what's more important... and what's more difficult is Bai Yanguan himself!

When Chu Suiliang questioned Bai Yanguan, Bai Yanguan actually admitted that he had committed the murder.

This is the most troublesome.

But when the suspect voluntarily confesses, even the case no longer needs to be investigated.

After all, under normal circumstances, no one who has never done this kind of thing will admit that he has killed someone.

But not necessarily.

Some people are bribed and may become scapegoats.

But Bai Yanguan, there is no doubt that this possibility will never happen.

So, what exactly is going on in this case?

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because he did not go to the scene to investigate the case, he did not know the situation at the scene.

But now, there are several doubts that concern him.

First, why did Bai Yanguan go to Zhou Qin?
Was it calculated by someone, or was it really a coincidence?

Secondly, the Bai Yanguan he was familiar with was by no means the kind of person with a bad temper, let alone an impulsive person, so how could he easily get into a fight with Zhou Qin?

This is very different from the Bai Yanguan Qin Wenyuan knew.

Therefore, we also need to understand the reason for the conflict between Bai Yanguan and Zhou Qin!
And thirdly, Zhou Qin's death was an accident or was it planned?
If it is unexpected, then there is nothing to say.

But what if it was planned in advance?

Someone wanted to harm him, or he wanted to die, or he wanted to frame Bai Yanguan, so something happened at that time.

If someone really wants to harm Official Bai Yan for his own sake, then the possibility is very high.

Official Bai Yan was plotted and framed.

Qin Wenyuan pursed his lips. There were many speculations in his mind.

But he didn't have any clues or evidence, and all his speculations were too subjective.

This is not a good thing.

He took a deep breath and tried to regain his composure.

He must not lose his cool just because this is Bai Yanguan's case.

This is a huge insult to your profession.

As an investigator, you must not have any subjective tendencies based on the identity of the people involved in the case.

After Qin Wenyuan regained his composure, his eyes became clear again.

He wanted to find out Bai Yanguan's case, and wanted to know whether it was because of himself.

It must be done from the perspective of a rational investigator.

Qin Wenyuan stood up and closed the window.

He lay back on the couch again.

At this moment, he needs to rest.

Because the journey ahead will be very tiring.

Moreover, he also needs to arrive in Chang'an in an excellent state, otherwise his mind will be confused and he will not be able to analyze the case.

Just like that, Qin Wenyuan forced himself to fall asleep.

When he woke up again, it was already dawn.

This trip to Nanzhao allowed Qin Wenyuan to develop a good skill in resting under various complicated situations. Even if he was full of things, he could still fall asleep just as he said.

After resting, he walked out the door.

As soon as they went out, they saw Si She and Wang Xiaohua coming out of the room.

They looked at Qin Wenyuan and saw Qin Wenyuan nodding his head and said: "Have breakfast and buy some dry food. We are going to speed up this time and won't have much rest along the way."

Wang Xiaohua also learned about Bai Yanguan from Si She.

She knew that Bai Yanguan was very important to Qin Wenyuan.

So, without any hesitation, she nodded heavily: "Okay!"

In this way, everyone had breakfast quickly and then rode out of Yangzhou.

When you set out, hurry up and go.

Returning is still in a hurry.

But this rush is for the most important person!

Two days later.

evening.

The setting sun is hanging on the treetops.

The red sunset slants on the ancient city walls of Chang'an City, mottled and solemn.

At this time, four fast horses suddenly stopped in front of the city gate.

They raised their heads and looked at the city in front of them.

One of them is a woman in her thirties, dressed in a smart outfit and full of heroic spirit.

At this time, she looked at the majestic Chang'an City in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh: "I have never been to Chang'an City since I escaped five years ago. I thought I would never dare to come again in this life. I didn't expect that today, It’s back again.”

This woman who looks like a woman is none other than the thief Wang Xiaohua after her disguise.

In the past, she stole good things from the aristocratic family and was hunted by the aristocratic family. She was also wanted by the imperial court. Had to escape from Chang'an.

But the aristocratic family was really angry with her and kept chasing her. Finally, because the aristocratic family was too powerful, he had no choice but to escape from the Tang Dynasty and went to Nanzhao.

It also happened that he was arrested by the Beidou Society in Nanzhao.

At that time, Wang Xiaohua really felt that she would never be able to return to Chang'an again in her life.

After all, neither the court nor the aristocratic family would let her go.

But she didn't expect that she would be back within a few years.

And not only did he come back, he was also so aboveboard.

Status and status have also changed dramatically.
