Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 654
Di Renjie said: "During lunch today, we mentioned that the two salt shakers, a lot of gold and silver jewelry and silver ingots found during the search of Mei Xiang's residence were obviously given to Mei Xiang secretly by Yan Shi in order to seal her mouth. "

Wen Qing said: "That's right. Although Mrs. Yan categorically denied it, it was just a cover-up.

Those gold and silver were not given by her, and where did they come from?With Mei Xiang as a servant, where can I earn so much gold and silver? "

Di Renjie said: "Then, who gave these gold, silver and salt to Mrs. Yan?"

At this time, Wang Mang said: "It must be a gift from that adulterer."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "That's right. Judging from the situation just reported, the adulterer is a member of He Zhai. Think about it, if this person is not a very powerful person in He Zhai, how could he make such a big deal How can you give Yan Shi casually the scarce and expensive table salt?"

Wen Qing suddenly said: "Sir, do you think it is possible that this adulterer is He Wuqi?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said: "Now we can only say that there is a possibility, and further investigation is needed to reveal the truth."

Wen Qing nodded, and said to Mr. Wu: "Arrest Chang's mother immediately, and ask her for the truth."

Di Renjie said: "It's not too late, let's do it now!"

……

Ho Garden.

He Wuqi, who was sitting on the chair, stood up abruptly, and said in surprise, "What?"

Chang's mother, who got off the station, said: "Mr. Yan told me that the key to the guest room was stolen by the maid Mei Xiang. Last night, she had a tryst with her lover Tian Liu in the room, and she didn't want to be killed!"

He Wuqi nodded and said: "I said why Yan Shi insisted on meeting in another place last night. It turned out that the key to the guest room was stolen."

Chang's mother said: "Now Yan is very scared, saying that the Yamen already suspects that she is involved in this matter."

He Wuqi said: "It's really weird, she didn't kill people, what is she afraid of?"

Chang's mother said softly: "She is afraid that the relationship between the two of you will be exposed. Once the government picks it up, it will be a crime of adultery. Not only will she be sentenced to death for Ling Chi, but even you, fifth master..."

He Wuqi waved his hands impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it. Where are you going? How could the government know that I have a private relationship with her?"

Mother Chang said: "Mr. Yan said that the Yamen suspects that she booked the guest room in the Tongqu Inn. Moreover, the key is in her hands, and Mei Xiang just stole the key from Mr. Yan's hands."

He Wuqi sneered and said, "So what? Even if it's her private room, who saw us together. Huh?"

Chang's mother shook her head and said, "Not really."

He Wuqi said: "Isn't this the end? There is no evidence, what can the Yamen do to her? Go back and tell her, don't panic, I will be the one to blame if something goes wrong!"

Mother Chang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will tell her what you said tomorrow."

He Jing, the official at the side, said: "Also, tell Yan Shi that she and the master will not see each other for the time being."

Mother Chang nodded and said, "Yes."

He Wuqi frowned, glanced at He Jing and said, "Is it so serious, wouldn't Meixiang die?"

He Jing leaned forward and said cautiously: "Master, as the saying goes, it's nothing serious to be careful, but it's only a few days, so avoid the limelight first."

He Wuqi shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's do it like this, He Jing, give Chang's mother 20 taels of silver and send her out."

Chang's mother's eyes lit up when she heard about rewarding money, and she followed He Jing out of the door with gratitude.

He Wuqi took a deep breath and slowly walked up in the hall.

After a while, He unexpectedly came in from the outside, closed the hall door with his hand back, and said softly: "Master, you didn't hear it just now? Something is wrong!"

He Wuqi was taken aback for a moment, stopped and turned around and said, "Oh, what's wrong?"

He Jing said: "Do you think the murderer who killed Mei Xiang and Tian Liu really targeted these two servants?"

He Wuqi said, "What do you mean?"

He Jing said softly: "Think about it carefully, if the key to the guest room hadn't been stolen, who would have stayed in the guest room last night?"

He Wuqi took a breath: "Yan Shi and I! You mean that the murderer came after us?!"

He Jing said: "Isn't it? If you want to kill servants like Meixiang and Tianliu, you need to sneak into the inn late at night and do it? No matter where you find a corner, you can do it. Master, I think it's young." , this matter is not simple!"

He Wuqi nodded slowly and said: "It makes sense, but who will the other party be?"

He Jing said: "The scariest thing in this world is that your opponent is staring at you, but you can't see him."

He Wuqi nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, there are many people in Xuyi city who are expecting my death. Why, tomorrow you will secretly send some nimble brothers around to investigate and see if you can find out Some clues.

As long as there is a little clue, let's act first! "

With that said, he made a murderous gesture.

He Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it tomorrow morning."

He Wuqi said: "The sooner the better!"

"Don't worry!"

Just as He Jing was about to go down, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said to He Wuqi: "Also, master, I would like to advise you.

What Chang's mother said just now is very reasonable, it's better to be careful about you and Yan Shi.

This is a felony in this dynasty, so please don't let the other party take advantage of us on this point. "

He Wuqi nodded slowly and said, "Okay, let's go!"

He Jing said: "Yes."

After that, he turned and walked out the door.

He Wuqi sat slowly on the chair and took a deep breath.

……

Late at night, the dark street was silent.

The north wind blew, and there was a whining sound.

In the quiet night, a figure came towards the street, it was Chang's mother.

She looked around, trotted all the way back to the front of the house, opened the door, hurried into the main room, and closed the door behind her hand.

Suddenly, there was a soft "da" sound from the back room.

Chang's mother was taken aback, and walked quickly into the back room.

She was dumbfounded at this sight.

The candles in the room were already lit, Di Renjie was sitting on a chair, and Wang Mang, Wen Qing and Zeng Tai were standing on the other side watching her quietly.

Chang's mother screamed, turned around and wanted to run, but the Yamen arresters waiting on both sides rushed up and pushed her to the ground.

Wen Qing shouted, "You bastard old godmother!
Over half a hundred years old, not doing the right way, ignoring the teachings of the court, and passing the news on behalf of the adulterer, it is really humiliating and shameless!
Did you know that assisting others in adultery is also a felony punishable by death in this dynasty? "

Chang's mother screamed and kowtowed again and again: "My lord, my lord, the old woman has no children and no one to depend on, and delivering news for them is just to earn a few pennies and save a coffin book for herself.

I beg your lord to be merciful and spare the old woman's life! "
