Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 20

Yan Ziqin had already jumped down ahead of others, and Mingshu wanted to follow, but he stopped him.

"The situation below is unknown, so don't come down." Yan Ziqin said.

"Oh." Mingshu was unhappy.

"Go back to the sedan chair and wait, I don't feel at ease if you stay here." He said again, making Du He send Mingshu back with a wink.

The duo who were abandoned again were very depressed. They sat on the side of the sedan chair and watched the busy crowd in the ruins. Du He said quietly: "It seems that we have a common enemy."

"Who?" Ming Shu was puzzled.

"It's Gao Rui who looks like a loyal minister. I suspect that Engong spends more time with him than with you every day." Du He said.

"What does that matter?" Ming Shu asked.

Du He sneered, "It's the kind of people who are the most suspicious. Honest and gentlemen are all black when cut, and they are all sanctimonious beasts."

"My husband is also an upright gentleman." Mingshu can point to the sky as proof that Yan Ziqin is the most "upright" person she has ever met.

Du He said: "Engong is different. I am very accurate in judging people. When I was young, a Taoist priest wanted to turn me into an apprentice, saying that I had the roots of wisdom. If my parents didn't want to, maybe I would have been a master by now. .”

Mingshu dryly said: "It's good that you didn't harm other people's school rules, Grandmaster... I'm sorry, I didn't see it."

Du He said: "There are still many things that you haven't noticed. For example, today's secret passage, do you think it's normal?"

Mingshu's face also changed, and she whispered: "It's not normal, of course it's not normal, I suspect that the surname Yu wants to rebel."

Du He said: "It is said that you have bad eyesight, but you still don't admit it. The standard of these weapons is very old. Those Mo knives and bows and arrows are at least the styles of the Tang and Five Dynasties. If Yu's family wants to rebel, they have not yet It was time to raise troops in the Song Dynasty, why bother procrastinating for 100 years?"

Ming Shu asked, "Then, in your opinion, what are these weapons used for?"

Du He shook his head, he couldn't figure it out either.

In the secret passage, the servants held torches to help Yan Ziqin illuminate the boxes of weapons displayed around him.

Yan Ziqin wiped a handful of thick dust, as if studying how long the place had been covered with dust, Gao Rui said, "This place should be very old."

Yan Ziqin said: "It's bad because it's outdated. It's easy to understand if it's just a simple possession of arms and intentions of rebellion, but the Yu family has hidden these things for hundreds of years. It can be seen that although they don't want to do anything, they have to save their force , to guard against foreign raids."

"However, these weapons are enough to equip a city's troops. Who would use a city's troops against a merchant?" Gao Rui said.

Yan Ziqin said: "They are not ordinary businessmen, and the Yu family has another identity - the descendants of Khitan who have been hidden for many years, plus the Khitan characters discovered by the bones that day, it has to make people suspicious."

Gao Rui blinked, shifted his gaze, and said, "My lord, why don't you look forward?"

Yan Ziqin nodded, and walked deeper along the same dusty slate floor, scratches suddenly appeared on the brick wall, which seemed to be scratches from nails during the fight, the dust on the ground was thick, but no footprints were left, it can be seen People who had been here before cleaned it carefully, but the cleaned place inevitably left traces of brooms. Following the traces, the torch illuminated a huge black object.

A richly decorated coffin.

"Go and invite Madam." Under the flames, Yan Ziqin stared intently at the coffin.

Mingshu put on white gloves routinely. She has been in this industry for many years, and it has been more than a month since she regained her forensic skills. She has never been so elated.You didn't take her with you just now, and now you encounter a corpse, why don't you ask a professional to come?
Looking at her expression, Yan Ziqin certainly knew that she was blaming him, but for her safety just now, he could only take the blame for "you need to face forward, not backward".

Opening the lid of the coffin reveals a corpse wrapped in brocade. It has long been reduced to bones but is still wearing an extremely gorgeous gown with a collar and wide sleeves. The gold and silver jewelry and utensils buried with it are still dazzling.

After examining the fusion of her epiphyses and the wear and tear of her teeth, Mingshu said: "Female, aged 20, died half a year to a year ago, her skull was broken, it should be a homicide caused by a severe blow to the back of her head, and her nails were broken before she was alive. , bruises on the phalanx, and there are signs of fighting." Halfway through speaking, Mingshu frowned suddenly when she uncovered the female corpse's clothes.

"There is still a skeleton in the abdomen, and the deceased was pregnant!"

Everyone was whispering, only Yan Ziqin stood beside the coffin thoughtfully, and suddenly murmured: "So it is so, so it is so!"

All the clues are connected into three lines in his mind, two bright lines and one dark line. Even though there are still many unsolvable mysteries on the dark line, the incident on the bright line is clear enough.

At this time, a yamen messenger came to report that someone from Yufu had come to see Mr. Yan.

Yan Ziqin said in a daze, "I just want to see Yu Qing."

Mingshu, who was disinfecting his hands with white wine, stopped him quickly, "You have been there once, and now you are going to be a sheep?"

Yan Ziqin smiled and said, "There are some things that must be clarified."

Ming Shu was speechless for a long time, and could only compromise. Please, no matter what, Du He must follow Yan Ziqin and bring him back intact.

Gao Rui didn't seem to take it seriously, and clenched the official knife in his hand.

It's still the old abode, the portrait of the woman, and Yu Qing sitting alone on the Zen chair.His illness seemed to be more severe than a month ago, and he became more and more disfigured, but when he saw this person, Du He agreed with his brother's words for the first time-"It's like a bright moon in your arms, like a jade mountain about to collapse. When the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove are reborn, they will surely enter the forest with them."

But is he really that "despicable and nasty"?Du and wait and see.

"You killed your sister." Yan Ziqin said.

Du He was dumbfounded and looked at Yu Qing, but Yu Qing was still relaxed and said with a light smile, "You still guessed it."

Yan Ziqin said: "Too many things happen around you, weaving into a net, you can no longer escape from the net."

Yu Qing smiled and said, "Please enlighten me."

Yan Ziqin said: "Wang Rang's seven shops are one line, Wang E and the young lady of the Yu family are another line, and your identity as a Khitan is a hidden line. Add up the three, and you are also in it, so you have no time to relax." care.

The ancestor of the Yu family moved south to Shuzhou, and dug a secret passage leading to the outside of the city on the north wall, where he hid a lot of ordnance. Some kind of accident happened, so you had to take back the ordnance in the secret passage for defense, so you took the seven shops by all means.

At the same time, Wang E, the cousin who grew up with Wang Rang, found out about your banditry. He was very angry. He took advantage of the convenience of teaching in the Yu family school to look for your weaknesses and seek revenge, but found out by accident. A piece of sheepskin covered with Khitan characters. Wang Er once learned from Mr. Xue, who is proficient in Khitan characters. He deciphered the secret on the sheepskin and knew about the secret passage. You eloped with the young lady of the Yu family who was pregnant with Liujia, but you saw it in your eyes. In order not to expose the truth of the murder and the existence of the underworld, and in order to avenge the sister who betrayed the family, you hid their bones on the spot, and the young lady of the Yu family The lady still has a coffin to be buried with her, but Wang Er's body is exposed on the ground, and there will never be peace. "

Du He was completely dumbfounded, and asked, "Wang E died in Shuzhou? Then who is Wang E who was in the capital's examination of Chunwei?"

Yan Ziqin said: "It's a secret job he arranged. He went to the test under the name of Wang Er. If he can sneak into the court, he will fall into his arms. The fake Wang Er is afraid of revealing his identity. I have seen his face, and Mr. Xue once complained that Wang Er did not say goodbye to him before entering Beijing. Zheng Xiucai explained that Yu Qing funded Wang Er and let him leave on the same day, but don’t you find it strange? If his My sister really died for Wang Er. With his unscrupulous character, it is impossible to let Wang Er go. How can we talk about funding?
And the last dark line, why Yu Qing, or Yeluqing, communicated with the Liao Kingdom, and why he asked someone to pretend to be Wang Er to go to Beijing for the test and then killed him, only you know. "

Yu Qing got up unexpectedly, and said to his sister's portrait: "It's been more than half a year, and finally someone has rehabilitated you, but he doesn't know, and my brother can't help himself."

He continued to say to Yan Ziqin: "You only saw me turning my hands into clouds and rain, but you didn't see that there was a bigger shadow behind me. Do you think I don't want to destroy those ordnance? But I dare not, as long as If she exists for a day, our lives will be in danger. I sent the fake Wang Er to Beijing, naturally hoping that he would break into the court and find a place for us to live, but she found out, and she disrupted my arrangement."

Yan Ziqin said, "Who is she?"

Yu Qing said: "You are so stubborn, sooner or later you will become an enemy of her. I will leave while I can still get away, you... each of you can stay safe."

Yan Ziqin said: "My people have surrounded your house, you cannot escape with your wings."

Yu Qing smiled and said, "Oh? Are you sure?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Rui ran in in a panic and reported: "My lord, Sun Zhizhou has removed all the yamen servants, please return to the yamen quickly, there is something urgent."

Yan Ziqin was stunned for a moment, squinting at Yu Qing, he was still sitting on the Zen chair, obsessed with the picture scroll in front of him, tapping squarely, and the parrot whispered.

No matter how stupid people are, they can see that Sun Zhizhou is not in a hurry, he is just protecting Yu's family, shaking such a big family, it is not good for anyone, and it is not good for him, the highest official in Shuzhou. Stability first, peace first, this is his first purpose as an official.

The next day, Yan Ziqin sent someone to search Yu's mansion again, but there was no one in Yu's mansion, the flowers and trees were still flourishing, the pond and pavilion were still looking good, even the parrot was still in the golden cage, but the person was gone.

Yu Yifei committed suicide in prison. When the jailer found him, he had already inserted bamboo chopsticks into his throat, with a sinister and crazy smile on his face, and a line of Khitan script was written in blood on the wall behind him, please come When Mr. Xue saw it, Mr. Xue trembled all over.

Yan Ziqin asked, "Mister, what does this mean?"

Mr. Xue said: "This is... the slogan of the Khitan people - iron cavalry flying south, flooding the Central Plains with blood."
