Seeing the sign of the Monster Catching Department, the madam's expression changed instantly.
In the Great Yu Kingdom, there are three very special organizations.
That is, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, the Evil Control Department, and the Monster Catching Department.
These three organizations are directly under the control of the emperor. When doing things normally, local officials can only try their best to cooperate.
If you don't cooperate, you can be punished for any crime you find.
For ordinary people, the ones they come into contact with more often are generally the Evil Control Department and the Monster Catching Department.
One specializes in arresting extremely vicious criminals, and the other specializes in dealing with monsters and evil spirits.
In front of the two, let alone ordinary people, even officials with a certain status will appear a little uncomfortable.
When Lin Qianxing pulled out the sign of the Monster Catching Department, the madam cooperated more in the following matters.
She took Lin Qianxing directly to a private room and then accepted Lin Qianxing's interrogation.
"Let me ask you, has your Chunlou ever had a courtesan named Xiao die?" Lin Qianxing asked.
The madam looked a little uncomfortable after hearing this, and then said: "You are talking about Xiao Han, right? She has been dead for eight years. The girl was at the peak of her career, but she insisted on eloping with a scholar. Who knew that after he redeemed her, the scholar thought she was a weak woman and was not worthy of him. Xiao Han was so ashamed and angry that she hanged herself. It's a pity. I have persuaded her many times, but it didn't work..."
The story is well told, but the truth is another matter. Lin Qianxing concentrated his spirit, and an invisible pressure enveloped the madam, asking: "Are you telling the truth? But why did I hear that you killed her?"
The madam was oppressed by Lin Qianxing's mental pressure, and her expression was ugly. She quickly replied: "My lord, every word I said is true, and I dare not hide anything!!"
"This matter involves a big monster. If what you said is a lie, you will be tortured to death in the Monster Catching Division!!" Lin Qianxing explained the seriousness of the matter.
"Sir, I am just a commoner, how dare I lie, but the scholar's story is a bit strange." The madam said anxiously: "Before Xiao Han died, she brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry as a dowry, but when she died, these things were gone. When I was collecting her body, I also saw some scars on her body. Maybe her death was related to the scholar..."
"Then why didn't you report the doubts to the government and investigate the case?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"At that time, I also had resentment in my heart, blaming Xiao Han for wasting my years of training by redeeming her, and such a scandal might affect my Baihua Pavilion's business, so I didn't report it to the government..." The madam replied.
At this time, her expression was already very ugly. Although the mental pressure did not cause any actual damage, Lin Qianxing's spirit was so strong that she had difficulty breathing just by feeling that kind of oppression.
Seeing this, Lin Qianxing also put away his mental pressure and said, "The Monster Catching Department has the ability to investigate the truth of your words. If you lied, hum!"
"I dare not, I dare not!" The old procuress breathed heavily and answered at the same time.
"Where is the scholar now?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"He contracted a very special kind of syphilis five years ago and died without treatment." The old procuress said after hesitating for a while.
Lin Qianxing looked at the old procuress suspiciously, narrowed his eyes and said, "Wouldn't it be that there is no evidence after death?"
"My lord, you are wise, I really dare not lie to you!!" said the old procuress.
"I know my own limits on this matter." Lin Qianxing stood up and said, "I hope everything you said is true!"
After the voice fell, Lin Qianxing turned into purple light and left through the window.
Seeing this scene, the old procuress was also shocked. She didn't expect that Lin Qianxing, who was asking questions beside her, would be such a person.
But she didn't show any abnormality on her face, and even patted her chest and murmured: "Fortunately, I told the truth, otherwise I'm afraid I would have brought disaster!"
Lin Qianxing used his spirit to detect this scene, and his face became thoughtful.
It seems that the madam did not lie, that is to say, this has really become an unsolved case?
Even if the scholar really killed Xiao Han, he is dead now, what else can he say?
Shaking his head, Lin Qianxing turned to the government office in the county.
After showing the sign of the Monster Catching Department, Lin Qianxing easily contacted the officials here, and even the county magistrate came to meet him in person.
When Lin Qianxing said that he wanted to investigate the matter of the scholar, he immediately asked someone to look through the files and household registration to find the corresponding records for him to see, and even found his former friends to tell Lin Qianxing some details of his life before his death.
At this time, Lin Qianxing couldn't help but sigh that this official identity was really useful.
Soon, Lin Qianxing knew about the scholar's three generations of ancestors and even all his relatives.
The scholar's name was Cheng Jue. His ancestors were also officials in the court. However, his grandfather's generation was involved in a major event and was dismissed because of the wrong position. By Cheng Jue's generation, the savings of his ancestors had been almost used up. He himself had not learned any skills, and he was lustful and greedy for wine, lingering in various entertainment venues all day long.
In this way, he soon used up his ancestors' savings.
At this time, by chance, he was able to spend a night with the then courtesan Xiao Han by relying on a poem praising the courtesan.
He realized that this was an opportunity, so he used sweet words to disguise himself as an ambitious and down-and-out scholar and won Xiao Han's favor.
Then he went to Baihua Pavilion one after another, and quickly increased Xiao Han's favorability to a certain level, and promptly stated that he had no money to use and would not be able to come again.
Xiao Han also had some feelings for Cheng Jue at this time, so he took out his savings and gave it to Cheng Jue so that he could meet him.
What happened next was very cliche.
Cheng Jue gradually intensified his efforts, using the excuse of studying and taking scientific examinations to squeeze Xiao Han step by step and obtain more benefits from him. BIqupai.c0m
Even in the end, he coaxed Xiao Han into redeeming his life and marrying him with his family assets saved over the years.
Who knew that this was a scam. Xiao Han’s family property was taken away by Cheng Jue, but he was despised by Cheng Jue. Cheng Jue even beat Xiao Han when he left, but it was not fatal. She The scars left on the body before hanging should have been left at this time.
Cheng Jue didn't seem to be ashamed of this matter, but instead felt proud of it. After Xiao Han's death, he showed it off to his friends for a long time, saying that these brothel girls had no brains, were stupid, and would believe it if they were cheated.
These are all stories told by Cheng Jue's friends, and with the support of others, their credibility is extremely high.
"Speaking of which, Cheng Jue's affair with Hualiu was caused by a brothel girl named Tao Hua who couldn't stand his behavior and deliberately came to infect him." One of Cheng Jue's bad friends said.
"Do you know about this?" Lin Qianxing asked.
The man hesitated for a moment, then said: "We all knew it, but we all wanted to see his joke at the time, so we didn't stop him or tell him."
"You guys, these little friends, are really "righteous", but he deserves it." The clerk who was checking the files next to him couldn't help but said.
"Then Taohua will not be retaliated by Cheng Jue afterwards? Where is she now?" Lin Qianxing asked with some emotion.
"It's not that Cheng Jue didn't want to take revenge, but he didn't have the chance. Tao Hua was harmed by Hualiu disease and had long been determined to die. After passing Hualiu to Cheng Jue, he took poison and committed suicide." Another of Cheng Jue's injured friends said: "It's a pity to say that if such a strange woman doesn't die, even if she gets caught in the flowers and willows and dies, I would still be willing to spend a spring night with her."
Lin Qianxing heard the sound and looked at him strangely.
He really couldn't understand the thinking of these wanderers.
However, the matter has almost been investigated clearly at this point.
Xiao Han's so-called injustice was nothing but the fault of others, which caused him to encounter many misfortunes. In the end, he could not face the miserable life and chose to hang himself.
The instigator, Cheng Jue, was also tortured and died after being retaliated by a brothel woman and became ill.
Lin Qianxing sighed, how could there be so many unjust, false and wrong cases in this world.
Even if there is, the probability of him encountering it is obviously not particularly high.
After taking out some gold and silver to thank the officials who helped, Lin Qianxing left the county government and went to the shabby house where Meier lived.
After calling for a while, Mei'er quickly ran out of the house, and asked with expectation on her face: "Sir, is there anything to gain?"
"I have investigated some things. Please listen to it and see if there is anything inconsistent with your memory." Lin Qianxing said, "The thing is like this..."
After a while, Lin Qianxing told Meier everything he had investigated.
After listening, Meier fell into silence. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "That Cheng Jue died so simply."
"Miss Mei'er, have you not investigated these matters since you became a spirit?" Lin Qianxing asked with some confusion.
"Sir, what you don't know is that I was awakened by accidentally eating a piece of warm jade three years ago. It takes a short time to become a spirit. Although I have investigated Sister Xiao's past, due to my weak strength and the fact that it has been many years, I can't become a spirit." I didn't get any useful information," Meier explained.
"What are you going to do now?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Mei'er promised sir that as long as he investigates the truth for Sister Xiao, Mei'er is willing to serve as his maid," Mei'er said softly.
Lin Qianxing smiled with satisfaction. He knelt down next to Mei'er and stretched out his hand towards Mei'er's head.
Mei'er hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't dodge.
When Lin Qianxing's broad palm landed on Mei'er's head and caressed her twice gently, a comfortable expression appeared on her face.
"Hurr, huh, huh~!"
Lin Qianxing showed a satisfied look on his face and said, "I usually live outside the city. I'm afraid the environment there is not suitable for you. What do you think if I buy this residence and renovate it?"
"Hulu~Mei'er is entirely at the discretion of your husband~Hulu~!" Mei'er said.
When Lin Qianxing saw the cat in this state, he couldn't hold it back. He hugged it directly and took a deep breath.
"Sir~!" Meier said in surprise and shyness.
"Meier, do you have a last name?" Lin Qianxing held the cat and asked, pretending to be calm, changing the subject.
"Ever since Mei'er became a spiritual being, she only remembers that her name is Mei'er and she has no surname." Mei'er replied.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that her new master looked at her with a little too much affection, but they had only met for less than a day!
"Why don't you just have the same surname as your old master, and have a famous name that will be easy to call him in the future." Lin Qianxing suggested.
"Xiao Mei'er?" Mei'er murmured.
