Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 48

But it was said that Yan Ziqin came to Qiyu Pavilion alone, and in the warm and fragrant front hall, he asked a little singing girl serving wine to send a message to Luo Qiyu, and the little singing girl told him that Luo Qiyu was not there after collecting the money. , should now be in the mansion of Jin Guogong Dingwei.

"Does Lady Luo often go to the Duke of Jin's residence?" Yan Ziqin asked.

The little singing girl in front of her thought for a while, and said, "Duke Jin likes our Sister Luo very much, and often invites her to play and sing at his house."

Yan Ziqin asked again: "When is it convenient for me to visit?"

The little singing girl shook her head and said, "I've been very busy recently. Master Li's [-]th birthday, Chen Hanlin's banquet, and the winter plum party at Taipusi Qing Yuan's house have also been advanced... This little man, why do you want to think about it?" What about Sister Luo, am I not beautiful?"

While talking, he leaned on Yan Ziqin, his soft arms wrapped around his waist like a snake, Yan Ziqin raised his eyebrows, dodged slightly, and staggered away without a trace.

"Why don't you stay for a cup of tea! I just learned a few new songs and sang them for Mr. Xiaolang?" The little singing girl seemed to be very interested in this shy young scribe, and patiently persuaded him by holding his arm.

Yan Ziqin wanted to push it away, but the next moment, he changed his mind, because he saw Zhang Lin nodding and bowing to serve a man who was full of style and walked in. Behind him were several young children who also wore the same brocade hat and sable fur, so Yan Ziqin Qin hurriedly took the little singing girl's hand, using this as a cover, pretending to be an ordinary man looking for fun, hiding in the corner and teasing the woman, but in fact he was secretly listening to Zhang Lin talking to the man.

Zhang Lin, who was preoccupied with flattery, did not notice Yan Ziqin, and blindly said to the human being in front of him: "Si Ya Nei, please slow down, the next official will open the way for you."

Hearing Zhang Lin call him Si Ya Nei, Yan Ziqin realized that this person was Ding Hao, who had never been seen before. He thought he should be a mighty playboy, but at first glance, he was well-dressed and upright. Under the straight eyebrows are a pair of radiant eyes, revealing a bit of arrogance. Although his stature is not as tall as that of Zhang Lin, who is five big and three thick, and looks like a warrior, he has an indescribable posture, which makes people know who he is at a glance. Whoever has a high status, whose status is low, is covered with beautiful treasures, especially a dove-egg-sized rustling gemstone ring on his right index finger, which is a rare treasure in the world, and he is indeed a rich man.

But Ding Hao raised the corners of his lips and said with a light smile, "It's a good dog. I'm afraid Cheng Yaojin will kill you halfway and hurt your master?"

Ding Jue scolded Zhang Lin as a dog, but Zhang Lin didn't look angry at all, but flattered him even more, "Isn't that right, you just recovered from your injury, if there is another small bump, let the Duke know about it, so you can't pick it up." The dog skin of the lower official is killing the dog life of the lower official?"

Ding Hao patted Zhang Lin's face with the ring-wearing hand, and said with a smile: "It really is a thing for loyal guardians, okay, you begged me last time, and you got it!"

Zhang Lin was overjoyed at once, bowed his hands together, thanked his master for his kindness, and bowed his head and ears like a running dog. Ding Hao laughed and said, "Haha, you have the guts to step on your brother-in-law. You and I are not relatives, and one day I raised your dog into an ungrateful wolf, and if you killed it, wouldn't I be Mr. Dong Guo?"

Zhang Lin hastened to show his loyalty with all his strength. The Duke of Jin is a thousand years old, and the fourth yamen is a hundred years old. Amidst his noisy and false words, a group of people walked out of the front hall and went to the more elegant and clean wing room in the back yard.

After they walked away, Yan Ziqin tried his best to escape from the entanglement of the little singing girl and returned to the carriage.

Seeing that he came back empty-handed, Du He didn't need to ask any more questions, since Luo Qiyu must be away, he murmured, "Where did she go?"

Yan Ziqin didn't bother to pay attention to Du He's jealous question. He was still thinking about what Ding Hao said just now. Ding Hao said that Zhang Lin was going to step on his wife and elder brother. Tiansheng was a Jinshi in the fifth year, and he has no close acquaintance with him, and I don't know where the brothers are now, but it is certain that they are not working in Beijing. Could it be that Zhang Lin is going to secretly set up a scheme to frame the two brothers and sisters, and take revenge one by one?

So Yan Ziqin asked, "Mingshu, do you know Yuan Yizhen's two elder brothers?"

As soon as the words fell, there was another noise outside the carriage, as if someone was talking to the driver, ordering him to move the carriage away.

Yan Ziqin hurriedly asked Du He to hide, pressed Mingshu's shoulder to tell her not to panic, opened the curtain, and saw that the outside was already brightly lit—groups of imperial guards held up torches, enclosing Qiyu Pavilion impenetrably, The pleasure-seekers were driven out, and Ding Hao and Zhang Lin were also among them, fighting with the forbidden army who drove them out. Zhang Lin clamored to make these lawless "***" lose their jobs, and the songs that stayed in the courtyard The prostitutes cried and screamed incessantly, and were quickly suppressed.

The guards wearing chilling military uniforms instantly wiped away the glitz and glamour, and only the rustling wind and the crackling of torches could be heard in their ears.

"Let's go, don't get in the way here!" Seeing the Lord coming out of the carriage, a man with the appearance of an imperial guard said, with a very aggressive tone.

Beside the imperial army was an old man in gray clothes who looked like a civil servant, and his gray beard was covered with a thin layer of ice formed by breathing water vapor. Seeing Yan Ziqin's calm and extraordinary appearance, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend him, so he patiently explained Said: "This place is blocked, and we are also following orders. If you don't want to get into trouble, you should move the car away."

"What happened, why is it suddenly blocked?" Yan Ziqin asked.

"Who are you, don't ask casually, do you understand?" the imperial guards snapped.

The official interrupted and stopped the imperial army who was about to draw their swords, and said with a pleasant face: "Dare you ask your name? Where do you work?"

"Miangui's surname is Yan, just waiting for the system."

Hearing that it was a waiter, the imperial guards who were used to high officials and dignitaries didn't change their expression, but the civil official turned pale with shock, and said, "Your Excellency, is Master Yan the waiter of the Jiying Palace? In the empress temple?"

Yan Ziqin sized up the clerk a few times, as if guessing his purpose, and nodded slightly after a while.

Seeing him nodding, the clerk was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Tang, and I'm a small clerk in Jingzhao Mansion. I have a few words I want to talk to Mr. Yan."

Yan Ziqin asked: "Is it related to the woman who hanged herself to death in the Niangniang Temple?" Although he asked, he already knew that it must be related to the case, otherwise why would he bother the Jingzhao Mansion and the Forbidden Army to deal with a brothel.

The Tang scribe said: "Exactly, if I don't meet you here today, I will go to your house to bother you. The road is not a place to talk, but it is convenient to get in the car and talk about it."

Yan Ziqin said apologetically, "There are female relatives in the car, so I can hire another car for the Tang scribe, and go to the house to have a glass of light wine."

The Tang scribe repeatedly said that he didn't dare to wait outside the car, so he sat next to the driver and went back to Yan Ziqin's house together.

"What's going on here? Didn't you say that all the cases in Niangniang Temple were concluded as suicides? Why did it cause trouble again?" Du He asked Yan Ziqin in a very low voice.

Yan Ziqin pointed to the outside of the curtain, shook his head, and signaled him not to ask more questions.

The wheels were spinning, and they returned home in a short while. Yan Ziqin and the Tang scribe were sitting in the study, facing the steaming charcoal fire, drinking warm wine together.

"I'll be straight to the point, Lord Yan, please don't blame me." The Tang scribe put down his wine glass, but still unconsciously rubbing the smooth glaze on the porcelain cup, "The Niangniang Temple case has been published again."

"Oh? What's going on?" Yan Ziqin asked.

The Tang clerk sighed and said, "My lord's eyes are like a torch, so I naturally know that the female deceased in this case, the singing girl named Ruan Qingqing, disappeared after being taken out by Duke Jin's Si Ya Nei. If you are willing to take care of it, let alone take care of this kind of case involving the rich and powerful, and the person who died was a lowly geisha, everyone doesn't care much, but this time the situation has changed."

He said again: "You should also know that shortly after Ruan Qingqing's death, a clerk died in our Jingzhao Mansion. He was my colleague named Yin Jun. The two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but A few days ago, Yin Jun's parents came to commit the crime with a deed of prostitution. What do you think? The deed of prostitution is actually from Ruan Qingqing. The date on the deed is July [-]rd. It turns out that Yin Jun has been silent for a long time. He ransomed her without any interest, but before she could take her home, Ruan Qingqing was already a beloved man when she was taken away by Ding Si Ya Nei!"

Yan Ziqin was surprised and said: "Yin Jun is from your Jingzhao Mansion, and he has friendship with the singing girls in Qiyu Pavilion, but none of you know about it?"

The Tang clerk said helplessly: "If I knew it, would I still be able to get to where I am today? Now that's all right, the two cases will be merged into one. Ruan Qingqing was bought by Yin Jun and became a beloved man. Although she didn't enter the door, she also Even if it is his wife and concubine, Ding Si Ya Nei took away his wife and concubine, and became a "wife and concubine". According to the criminal system of the Song Dynasty, he should be imprisoned for three years, and Ruan Qingqing has not been charged with death in vain. Yin Jun His parents are also shrewd people. This afternoon, they directly stopped the car of Mr. Zhang Shixun, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and sued Mr. Zhang by leapfrogging. Mr. Zhang was an old minister when the official family was still in the East Palace. With the search warrant issued, our Jingzhao Mansion will be in trouble."

Yan Ziqin knew that they were afraid of getting into trouble, so he thought, you say Zhang Shixun is stupid, am I just a person who is willing to join forces with others?So he joked: "Just do what you want. The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. What are you afraid of?"

The Tang scribe cried: "You are asking the Duke of Jin to kill the villain! The villain has no other intentions. On the orders of our Lord Jing Zhaoyin Feng, please don't say anything when Mr. Yan testifies in the hall of the Ministry of Justice tomorrow. Words that are not good for Dingsi Yamen." Then, he took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, "This is the testimony prepared by our Master Feng for you, you have done good deeds, don't make it difficult for us to do it in front of the Duke of Jin!"

Yan Ziqin opened the paper roll, but a pawn slip fell out. The pawned items were three sets of red gold head masks, one white jade, and one gold ribbon board. But the ransom was only one tael of silver.

He frowned, and looked at the Tang scribe who was full of laughing lines calmly. The other party laughed even more happily, and said in a secret way: "Small thoughts are not respectful, and Lord Yan will be indispensable in front of Jin Guogong." face!"
