After sending Xu Jian away, Eunuch Cao returned to the imperial court and told the matter without any concealment.

The Holy Father frowned when he heard this.

 It is normal for Shan Shen to doubt anyone.

 When the yamen handles the case, I don’t dare to doubt it, and I don’t dare to think too much about it. How can I solve the case?

Shan Shen has been in charge of Shuntian Mansion these years. Except for occasional situations, most of the time, he is very competent.

Such a seasoned official was suspected of Su Ke as soon as the case was spread, which shows how bad the impression this man's previous actions left on the Shuntian Prefecture.

 As a father, Xu Guogong has a heavy responsibility to raise such a son.

 Speaking of which, these officials' sons and daughters in the capital have been...

 The Zhu family has confiscated it, let’s not talk about it.

The girl raised by Uncle Yunyang's house plotted against the Ning'an sisters one after another.

 Liu Jing's son is also very shameful and his knowledge is a mess.

"I was thinking," the Holy Lord took a sip of tea and spoke to Duke Cao in a low voice, "If this is really done by that boy from Duke Xu's mansion, the sentence must be harsher and it will also serve as a warning to other Dukes and Dukes. ”

One by one, relying on the merits of their ancestors and inheriting the glory, they do nothing!

If this continues, we will breed a bunch of dandies. What a shame!

Eunuch Cao’s heart skipped a beat.

Your Majesty is going to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

 The whole afternoon in Shuntian Mansion was so busy that people couldn’t even touch the ground.

 In addition to investigating cases, promoting the placement of candidates, and the things that must be completed before the year are already piled in front of him, Shan Shen is so busy that he can't even take a sip of tea.

On the contrary, Xu Jian was very idle.

Xu Jian drank tea and had two snacks, and still "do his best" to share a little of Master Shan's worries within the scope of his understanding. Only then did Shan Shen have time to stuff two hot buns for dinner. , gulp down a bowl of hot soup, and listen to the reports from the people below.

 This case went more smoothly than Shan Shen expected.

 The government officials found the horse and carriage shop.

 When it comes to going out of town, the host may not be able to tell the truth. After all, the guests may not tell the truth.

 But when it comes to transporting buckets of water, there are guys who come out to pour out the bitter water.

"It's really wicked! We sent it back late yesterday. We saw that the horse was in good spirits and the driving was normal, so we took the car and waited for it to be picked up early in the morning. Who knew that when we looked in the morning, there was water inside the carriage and ice on the bottom? , It was cold all night, and the cushions were also frozen and solid! We hurriedly cleaned up, which almost delayed our business! "

Looking through the account book again, the person who rented the car was a young man named Bowie, who took his fingerprint.

Compared with the loan and return time, he went to the city gate guard to ask questions and asked for some information.

 As the New Year approaches, the inquiries at the city gate are strict.

Originally, renting a car to go out of the city would not attract anyone's attention. However, the driver of a rented carriage belonged to Duke Xu's family.

"We had a couple of quarrels before. The other person was a servant of the Duke's Mansion, and he was very arrogant. The younger one remembered his face. Yesterday, I saw him driving a rented car, and the younger one was talking quietly with others. The joke goes that he committed a crime and was kicked out by the government, so he had to go to a carriage and horse racing business to make a living.

There was no one in the car and there were several empty buckets. When the younger one asked, he said he went to the mountain to fetch water.

This is not surprising. The more sophisticated people in the city often go outside the city to collect water from springs and streams.

But less than a quarter of an hour later, another carriage came out of the city from Duke Xu's mansion, and in the car was their third son. "

Shan Shen was so angry that he laughed after listening to the Yamen servant's reply.

 It was indeed Su Ke, he really expected it!

Although he had preconceptions, the investigation process was step-by-step. It was the testimony that brought "Xu Guogong's Mansion" out, and it was not his inducement.

You could say that Su Ke is very particular. There are a lot of clues for people to catch, and he doesn’t even know how to tidy them up when changing cars. You might say he is not particular at all. He even knows how to change cars when he goes out of town!

Shan Shen thought for a while and asked the yamen servant: "Can you find Bao Wei? Let's ask more."

 The yamen servant was in a very difficult situation.

The capital is so big, how can I find it?

Xu Jian pondered for a while, and then suggested: "Go to the gambling houses in the West Street area and ask, maybe someone will recognize him."

Hearing this, the officer looked at Shan Shen.

Shan Shen thought quickly and immediately understood Xu Jian's train of thought.

 Six months ago, where was Su Ke wandering around every day?

  Yanzi Lane, Xiaoyan Hutong, Liushu Hutong, Daozi Hutong…

 The most lively one connected to them is West Street.

When Su Ke was hanging out with those men and women, where could the young man go to kill time?

Chathouses are occasionally visited, but most of the time, gambling houses are more likely to attract young and ignorant boys.

 After getting involved a lot, you can get to know some people from different religions, especially the same gamblers, and you can get things done by giving them money.

As expected, within half an hour, the yamen brought Bao Wei back.

“When the kids arrived, he was having a great time rolling dice inside. It was not difficult to find him!”

Shan Shen asked Bowie to take a fingerprint and compared it with the one brought back by the carriage and horse shop. It was the same person.

“What did you borrow the car for yesterday?” Shan Shen asked.

Bowie said carelessly: "Can't a villain borrow a car?"

Shan Shen had many things to do, and he was most annoyed by people wasting his time, so he handed the person directly to the master: "After you finish asking, just give me the result."

"Let me ask for Master Shan," Xu Jian said. "With Master here, I'm not afraid of being accused of asking for random confessions."

Shan Shen trusted Xu Jian very much and laughed off his joke.

 The yamen servant took the person to the next door.

Xu Jian said: "Did you know that the car you borrowed was filled with dead people?"

 The master’s hand holding the pen shook.

 Bowie trembled even more than the master: "What? Dead person? Impossible!"

"Why else would the Yamen want you?" Xu Jian said, "The car smells bad. Where did you put the dead person?"

Bowie shouted: "It's not me, little man, I don't have it! I borrowed someone's car!"

"You are so brave. You don't even know what other people use it for, so you dare to rent a car for them?" Xu Jian shook his head repeatedly.

Bowie said with a sad face: "Oh, I didn't think too much about it! I thought he could pretend to be a little **** at most, but I didn't know he would pretend to be dead! Or has he played it this time and killed people?"

 Xu Jian continued to ask: "Who?"

"The servant of the Third Young Master in Duke Xu's Mansion is named Shi Jie, and they all call him Shitou. He said that their Young Master wanted to borrow two cars, and asked the villain to do a favor. He gave them ten liang as a favor, so the villain borrowed them."

Xu Jian listened to what he said and compiled a confession for him: "You met that man named 'Shitou' in the gambling house before. He asked you to help borrow a car for Young Master Su. You borrowed it yesterday and returned it yesterday. right?"

Bowie looked downcast: "Yes, that's what happened. The villain just borrowed the car for him and didn't know anything else."

The master looked at Bao Wei, then at Xu Jian, and wrote a confession on the paper without words.

 The Duke of Guo is still efficient in his work.

If Mr. Shan asked this question like this, the old-fashioned people would read it into several books and say that he was "unauthentic" and "unsophisticated".

 In the middle of the month, shout out for monthly tickets~~~
