The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 15 Man-made arson, Hou Fu is attentive

Lin Shen had already been waiting at the gate of the city, and when he saw Yu Qiansi galloping into the city, he was about to greet him, when he saw behind Yu Qiansi, Bo Yi, who was being regarded as the number one suspect, dressed in plain black, swaggeringly riding his horse to follow.

At that time, she was already out of breath in shock, and when she turned her head and saw Princess Changsi in plain clothes walking with them, she almost lost her breath.

When Yu Qiansi got off the horse, Lin Shen's facial features were all wrinkled together.

"My aunt, what are you planning to do?"

With such two scourges, is he here to investigate the case, or to find fault and watch the fun?
Knowing that Lin Shen was kind, Yu Qiansi couldn't bear to continue teasing him, so she handed him two jugs of peach blossom drunk that he hadn't had time to drink yesterday.

Comforting: "Don't worry, Guangzhi. This time I'm here on official business, I know it well. Please tell me how the situation is."

Lin Shen took the wine unceremoniously, looked up to the sky and sighed, but was not convinced by Yu Qiansi's "knowledge".After thinking about it, I thought of what I heard this morning - the murderer who signed the murder case died.Could it be.
He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Did you bring him here because of that monk—"

"—Guang Zhi", Yu Qiansi cast a light glance at him, and interrupted: "Time is running out."

Lin Shen had no choice but to talk in detail as if resigning to his fate.

Yesterday morning, in order not to delay the funeral, Lin Shen was forced to agree that the princess would thoroughly investigate the fire in the backyard.I planned to go through a process, but I didn't expect to find something strange.

The fire started at about [-]:[-] a.m. Chou.The two little maids obeyed their orders and went to the backyard to take the old lady's relics as a funeral.Because there were flowers and other things that were often planted in the old lady's courtyard, Yu Ren kept them in the ice cellar in the backyard early in the morning.

When the two arrived at the backyard, they only saw candles burning in the room. Yu Ren seemed to be crouching in front of the table, carving something by the candlelight, and his shadow was printed on the window by the candlelight.

Yu Ren likes to play some stone carvings on weekdays, and his skills are very good.But because of their eccentric tempers on weekdays, neither of them dared to come forward to disturb them. They just wanted to get their things and go back quickly, so they went around the house and went to the cellar.As a result, as soon as he reached the entrance of the cellar, he heard the sound of "rumbling" in the house, like the sound of many heavy objects falling to the ground.The two were startled, and when they looked back, the fire had already started.

The two little maids shouted quickly.But after going through the wave of temptation at night, and it was dark and sleepy, the yard was even more remote.By the time the two yelled to a place where there were people, the fire had already lit up the entire night sky.

After the funeral, Lin Shen hurried back and wrote a letter to Yu Qiansi.After finishing the official business at hand, he took people to check the fire scene.More to see where the fire started, so as to have an explanation to the Hou Mansion.

Unexpectedly, this investigation revealed many problems.

When Lin Shen said this, he stopped and looked at Yu Qiansi with a smile.

Because of the large number of people, Yuqiansi moved slowly that day, in order to enter Beijing early, Chou Shizheng took the tokens with his troops and called to open the city gate and left without knowing about the fire.It's rare that she waited patiently for a long time, but she didn't expect that when Lin Shen talked about the real key point, she was tricked.

He snorted coldly: "I can't find the clues that you can find out? If you keep it up, I won't make you drunk next time."

Seeing that he couldn't control Yu Qiansi, Lin Shen held two jugs of good wine and reluctantly told his discovery.

Although the whole house had been burnt to a disastrous state, the roof beams had not collapsed, and one could barely go in to check.Although the room was pitch black, after a general inventory, it was found that some valuable things were indeed missing.

Hearing that something was lost, Boyi, who had been silent all this time, was a little strange.

"After losing valuables, how can I still sit at the table and carve stones late at night?" Yu Qiansi said, deliberately lagging behind a few steps, and looked at the princess, but found that the princess was normal after hearing about the theft.

Lin Shen echoed: "Not only that! We investigated the fire and found that although there were traces of the oil lamp being overturned in the house, the traces of the oil spreading were messy and scattered all over the floor."

That does not rule out the suspicion of arson.

Lin Shen continued: "It's all come to this point, so I had no choice but to ask the assistant to come over and examine the corpse. I didn't expect it! Guess what? Although my assistant is not as good as your little brother Zhang, I also said that the corpse should have died before Choushi .But the body was burned badly, and he couldn't find out the exact time."

Yu Qiansi had a lot of headaches, Lin Shen's eloquence is really suitable to be a storyteller, and he is definitely a hard-to-find talent.

She had to remind: "The Marquis of Guang'an is coming soon, is there anything else to say? Also, what happened to that more omission?"

The murderer must be Boyi.

When it came to Genglou, Lin Shen couldn't explain it, and he whispered beside Yu Qiansi, "I told you about Genglou in secret, but I haven't told the people in the Houfu yet. Strange, I'd better take you to see it myself. You will know then."

Yuqian stared at the gate of Houfu Bieyuan in front of her, raised her eyebrows and smiled.

No matter what the purpose of the people doing all this is, they dare to engage in these tricks under their noses in an attempt to deceive the world.Yuqian sharpened her knife frantically, and led Ren Er into Guang'anhou's mansion with a murderous look.

The Marquis of Guang'an was waiting at the door early, and invited Yu Qiansi in.

When Yu Qiansi saw the smiling and amiable Marquis of Guang'an waiting for her in the front hall, she couldn't believe that this was the same person as Yu Feng who had raised eyebrows coldly at her that day.

Even when he saw Boyi and Yu Anning, his expressions never changed.

On the other hand, Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting beside her, was ashamed and flustered.

"Your Majesty Yu Ti Xing is here, and you have to come here in person for a small fire. My daughter is really causing you trouble. I think this young master is Mr. Bo from the Weiran Academy. What a misunderstanding that night, misunderstanding !"

The news is very good.Yuqiansi thought that there were people from them in the household department, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.Being in the outskirts of Beijing, still in mourning, and having such eyes and ears, it's amazing.

She has always hated these ostentatious back and forth, and was about to get to the point, but was interrupted by Boyi at the side.

Bo Yi bowed, calm and dignified: "'Mr.' doesn't dare to be, he is just a junior of the uncle's family. The misunderstanding between the junior and Yu Tixing the night before disturbed the peace of your house. The junior and the adults are really sorry. I also ask Lord Hou to allow the two of us to go and offer a stick of incense to the old lady as a token of respect."

Looking up, he saw the princess who was a bit guilty and nervous, and added: "Princess Changsi is also worried that there are villains in the mansion. For the safety of you and your wife, I asked Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the fire. People in the capital heard that In this matter, everyone praises the princess's filial piety, and I hope that Lord Hou will not blame her for her sincerity."

Boyi's words were sonorous but not aggressive. They really had a bit of a gentleman's taste that had been soaked in the academy, and the seven points of Guang'an Hou's displeasure with Yu Anning faded away in an instant.

Wei Ran Academy's reputation is not small, plus Boyi's appearance is imposing, his temperament is outstanding, and his manner is free and easy, which is much better than Yu Qiansi next to him.Yu Feng even said "worry and worry", and never mentioned Yu Anning's matter again, and just led the two of them to the old lady's yard to offer incense.

According to the rules of the capital, to guard the spirit of the elders, the spiritual position can only be moved after five or seven days.Therefore, after the funeral, the old lady's coffin was moved back to Fengting Garden for enshrining.

Yu Anning hurriedly took a step forward, and said enthusiastically, "Let me take Sister Yu and the others."

After Yu Qiansi agreed to help, she breathed a sigh of relief and regained her girlish nature.Holding Yu Qiansi's hand, she just felt tender and warm, and made her scold the person who spread the name "Jade Rakshasa" again.

When Yu Feng saw Yu Anning, he was very angry and didn't want to explode, so he just told her to leave quickly with a cold face.

Yu Anning couldn't stop her hands and feet, and hurriedly led the two of them away, leading the young man along the way.

After leaving the front hall, Yu Anning glanced at Bo Yi, and saw that Bo Yi was staring at Yu Qiansi as if he wanted to say something, so he hesitated to speak.Xingmu turned around and ordered the servant to lead the way with her, keeping a short distance from Yu Qiansi and Boyi.

When he was far away, Bo Yi lowered his voice and taunted Yu Qiansi in a voice that the servant could not hear.

"You still investigate cases like this? Not only do you not know how to say nice words, but you don't even know how to read people's faces."

Yu Qiansi pursed her lips tightly, but said loudly, "I never rely on people's facial expressions to investigate cases in prison."

That's why she hates dealing with these wealthy families the most.Everyone likes to come and go hypocritically, really wasting time on useless work.

Seeing Boyi beside him who is at ease, dressed in ordinary black can't hide his arrogance, even if her eyes are higher than the top, she has to admit that his trick is still somewhat effective.Without any effort, you can go to the old lady's yard to check it out.
