A little weak chicken came to Dali Temple

Chapter 178 178 Prostitute Case

The three of them entered the third private room and sat down together.Just now, Pei Jingning and Han Wang had not eaten much at all, so they picked up chopsticks to eat dinner.

Yeats, a little person, couldn't get a word in until she was full. She sat on the edge and drank barley tea. While drinking, she guessed the identity of Nanping County Prince Zhao Qi'an. Could he be the legendary Governor of the Imperial Camp?

Is he spying on King Han?

Zhao Qi'an and Pei Jingning both lowered their heads to eat, but if Yeats' eyes fell on him again, he would probably not be brothers with Pei Ziqian until they left the Songji Bistro.

He raised his head and put down his chopsticks, and couldn't help but remind: "Cough."

Yeats hurriedly put down his cup and smiled flatteringly: "Has the prince eaten?"

Zhao Qian looked at someone whose face was so serious that he was almost dripping with tears, and coughed again, "Master Ye, do you always stare at others like this when they are eating?"

Yeats resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said with a fake smile, "Prince Zhao, I'm waiting for you to tell me how to find that girl."

"……"Oh I see!

Pei Jingning rolled her eyes at him, put down her chopsticks, took Bai Lang's towel, wiped her mouth and hands, stood up, walked around to Ye Zhi's side, stretched out her hand, "Let's go!"

"Sir...he hasn't said anything yet..."

Pei Jingning held Ye Zhi's little hand, pulled her to stand up, and looked at Zhao Qian: "Tomorrow afternoon, send the person to Dali Temple." After saying that, he took the young lady's hand and left Song Ji.

Hey!
Zhao Qian just wanted to say that he wanted me to work in vain without giving him any benefits, but unfortunately the young couple had disappeared at the door, leaving him alone.

Isn't it just holding a woman, making it seem like I don't have one?

The room was empty except for Zhao Qian. There was no woman, and even if there were, would there be a woman like Yeats who could solve the case by dressing up as a man?Maybe not.

How could such an interesting little lady be met by Pei Jingning!

The more Zhao Qi'an thought about it, the more sour he became, and he sighed, "Someone -"

"Father..."

"Did you hear that?"

"The little one heard it."

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Yes."

In the carriage, Pei Jingning pulled the young lady to sit beside him. As the carriage drove on the empty street, he held the young lady's hand with one hand and opened the curtain of the car with the other to look outside.

There are few pedestrians on the street, and the lights of the shops lined on both sides gradually go out. It is late at night, and thousands of households have fallen asleep.

"Who is the most likely killer of that prostitute?"

With his arms warm and well fed, Yeats leaned against his chest and fell asleep. Suddenly hearing Pei Jingning's question, he suddenly woke up and looked at him.

Pei Jingning put down the curtains of the car and turned to look at her.

Yeats straightened up and left his arms, "I'm not sure yet."

"This is not a trial court."

Pei Jingning just wanted to hear where she had gone with this case.

Yeats understood. She pursed her lips and said, "Yang Die'er was stabbed three times. The murderer may not be the same person."

Pei Jingning frowned, "How many people are there?"

"Probably one person per knife."

"There are three people?" Pei Jingning obviously didn't expect it, "Are they a group, or..."

"No." Yeats shook his head.After pondering for a moment, Pei Jingning finally asked, "Is there a knife that belongs to the Minister of Household Affairs?"

Yeats looked at Pei Jingning.

The former Minister of Hubu was killed, and this Minister of Hubu turned out to be a murderer. Why were the Ministers of Hubu in the Wei Dynasty so troubled? Yeats couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that if there are other officials who block the way of some people, Will some kind of privacy be exposed?"

Unexpectedly, the young lady still got involved in a power struggle.

Pei Jingning lowered his eyes and held the young lady's hands with both hands, "Zhizhi, I know you like to handle cases and work hard to seek justice for the victims who died in vain, but you know that in glory and wealth there are all the filth and corruption that cannot be seen clearly. Zha, I don’t want to see you get hurt. After this case is over, how about you return to being a daughter and marry me?”

Recently, Mr. Shaoqing has asked for marriage twice in person. Yeats is not a novice. It is true that Pei Jingning likes her, but he frequently asks her to marry, as if he is avoiding something.

Thinking of the Songji Tavern just now, Yeats seemed to understand something, "Sir, the King of Han will not travel to Beijing this year. Will the Queen Mother want him to maintain his real power?"

Pei Jingning nodded, "Zhizhi, King Han is not an easy person to deal with."

"What do you mean, sir, Chunxiang Tower is just the beginning for him?"

Pei Jingning said, "You have also seen that he didn't do anything, but he was able to become the Minister of Household Affairs without any hesitation."

"He wants to put his own man in the position of Minister of Tobe?"

"Ah."

Yeats took a breath, but one of the three swords must have been stabbed by Mr. Liu, the Minister of Household Affairs, and...she didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hung her head helplessly.

"Zhizhi..." Pei Jingning squeezed her cold little hand, "Leave this case to Lu Sicheng!"

Upon hearing this, Yeats immediately raised his head, his bright eyes clear and determined, "Sir, I have no control over the power struggle. I only investigate the murderer. I will investigate and punish whoever killed the deceased. I want to protect the deceased in this world." The final fair.”

She stared at Pei Jingning, her slightly pursed lips firm and stubborn, and she would not leave the case to anyone else.

Pei Jingning was so filled with enthusiasm for justice that she couldn't bear to refuse and let go of her hand.

Yeats's palms went cold, he bit his lip but still stared at him closely, never letting go of the case.

Pei Jingning stroked his forehead.

In fact... before he persuaded her to give up the case, he had thought that she liked the case and seeking justice for the dead more than she liked him.

This is why he has been hesitant to let her change into women's clothes and become an ordinary little lady.

Once she is not allowed to handle cases, will she still be so confident and arrogant?

The next day, Ye's small group met again to handle the case.

Zhang Jin said: "The northern merchants have disappeared and cannot be found. I checked the route they took to the capital. The names are false. There are no such two people in Youzhou."

Yeats heard this thoughtfully.

Zhao Bai said, "I went to the household registration office to check again. That girl's identity is true."

Teng Chong said, "But I couldn't find that girl. It's really weird. I can't find her anywhere I look."

Yeats asked Qin Dachuan, "Uncle Qin, where are you?"

Qin Dachuan replied, "I asked an informant to help me find out. Fifteen years ago, when I was in Chuzhou, Mr. Liu seemed to have offended a villain. The villain committed suicide and his mother-in-law disguised herself as a prostitute and entered Liu's house. , on the 15th day of the Lantern Festival, when he went to the street to look at the lanterns, he threw Mr. Liu’s eldest daughter into the river and drowned."

"Where's the mother-in-law?"

"He escaped, and the Liu family has been looking for him for 15 years but still can't find him."

Yeats asked: "After the child drowned, was the body recovered?"

Qin Dachuan said, "My informant said that some people said that the young lady was fished out and buried, and others said that the child was not found. Because of this incident, the Liu family's servants were almost replaced again. Now there are almost no old people in the family, so I’m not sure whether it was salvaged or not.”
