Da Song Private Investigator

That night, Kaifeng Mansion was very lively.

After the excitement, there was complete silence.

Looking at Hua Lang, Bao Zheng asked in disbelief, "The jade seal was really stolen?"

Hwarang nodded: "It's absolutely true."

Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and said: "I want to go to the palace to meet the emperor. This kind of thing cannot be hidden. We must formulate a plan as soon as possible. If possible, we would rather not have Yuxi."

Bao Zheng's idea is not wrong. If the emperor still has prestige, he feels that the jade seal will be abolished, or the jade seal will be rebuilt. In this way, even if the jade seal is stolen, nothing will happen.

But Hualang stopped him, saying: "Brother Bao, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. The jade seal was stolen, and this matter has a lot to do with it. If it is known, the peace that Da Song has built for many years will be broken."

"Could it be... Could it be that the stalemate continues like this?"

Hua Lang smiled and shook his head: "Of course it's impossible to keep going on like this. Don't worry, Brother Bao. I'm sure I'll find Yuxi. The reason why I haven't found Yuxi now is just to catch the black hand behind the scenes. I only said this because I believed Brother Bao, I hope Brother Bao will not disappoint me."

Bao Zheng was silent for a long time, and then nodded after a long time.

The night was dark, and everyone fell asleep. Although things were troublesome, it didn't stop them from sleeping.

At night, the cold wind suddenly picked up, and the autumn in Kaifeng was more thorough than that in Huainan City.

I don't know when, there was a light rain at night, a very small rain, if it wasn't for the fallen leaves and wet mud on the ground the next day, it would really be unnoticeable.

The next day, Hwarang got up very late, or he was woken up by a loud noise. After he got up, Bao Zheng came in. At this time, Bao Zheng was very anxious. After seeing Hwarang, he quickly said: "Young man! ,problem occurs!"

Hua Lang frowned slightly, sat up from the bed suddenly, and asked, "What happened?"

Now Hualang's thoughts are all about Yuxi, so when he heard that something happened, he couldn't help but feel his heart churn, Bao Zheng sighed, and said: "This morning someone came to the capital to report that a dead body was found in the suburbs."

Hearing that only a dead body was found, Hua Lang finally calmed down. He thought it was a big deal, it was just a murder case, but he was very puzzled. Bao Zheng, as the prefect of Kaifeng, What case has not been solved for so many years, why come to me now?

Is it possible that the habit I have developed over the years has not been changed, and I think of myself when encountering a murder case?

Now that there is no news from Sikong Tu, it's okay to help Bao Zheng solve the case. After washing up, Hua Lang followed Bao Zheng and others to the outskirts of the city.

The green outside the city of Kaifeng is gradually thinning, the ground is full of fallen leaves, and the corpse is on the edge of the moat. At this time, there are many spectators gathered around. The autumn weather is very refreshing, the sun is not strong, and it is very comfortable to shine on the body.

The deceased was a woman, a woman who could be described as beautiful.

The woman's whole body was naked, and her lower body had obvious signs of being violated. After the yamen servants dispersed the crowd, Hwarang began to examine the corpse. There was a pinch mark on the neck of the corpse, but there were no other signs of trauma, and The deceased's mouth was open and his tongue was sticking out. He should have been strangled to death. The deceased's ten fingers were clenched tightly, so it can be seen that he was killed after being violated by the murderer.

There were no clothes of the deceased near the deceased, which may have been disposed of by the murderer. After the inspection, Hwarang immediately ordered people to find the family members of the deceased or people who knew the deceased.

After returning to the city, Bao Zheng was very angry and said: "Desperate, deranged!"

Everyone didn't say a word, and everyone could see that the murderer was indeed insane in insulting the deceased like this. Ever since Bao Zheng became governor of Kaifeng, he hadn't encountered such a case for many years. Now, he didn't get angry. Strange.

It was not easy to investigate the clues. It was not until the evening that the government servants found out the identity of the deceased. After the investigation, everyone was a little surprised because the identity of the deceased was a maid of Jingxin Zhai.

When Bao Zheng learned that the deceased was a maid from Jingxinzhai, he couldn't help being stunned, and then he immediately realized that the matter was difficult.

The Jingxin Zhai is not a place that ordinary people can enter. It is the kindness of the current emperor. He feels that the concubines who have been thrown into the cold palace are too pitiful, so he built a Jingxin Zhai in the capital and let them cultivate themselves in it. In fact, these concubines After leaving the Lenggong and living in the Jingxinzhai, they have already gained freedom, but because they were the concubines of the emperors in the past, they are not allowed to marry outsiders, and can only guard in the Jingxinzhai.

Even so, it is much better than them staying in the cold palace all the time, because the emperor often goes back to Jingxin Zhai to see them, so these concubines are very powerful. According to Bao Zheng's knowledge, these concubines use their own advantages to compete with many officials Many merchants have colluded with each other, and even a few smart ones have started business outside. Their financial strength has already exceeded everyone's imagination.

If a woman goes all out, it is very scary.

Now in the Jingxinzhai, there are two powerful concubines, one is the concubine Ming, he is the concubine of the first emperor, he is almost forty this year, but he has a beautiful appearance and a lot of scheming, she uses her status to get along with many Officials have contacts, and many officials have bribed her in order to ask her to do something, and this Concubine Ming is very smart, and these things are never revealed, so it is impossible for ordinary people to know how much Bao Zheng, as the prefect of Kaifeng, has done. I have heard about it, but they haven't done anything outrageous, and Bao Zheng can't handle them, so he keeps turning a blind eye.

The other concubine is also the concubine of the late emperor, named Concubine Die. She is now in her thirties and slightly smaller than Concubine Ming. However, this concubine is unusual. She is a business genius. After just a few years of business development, her property has never been more than that of many rich businessmen.

Because of the money, she has several houses in the capital, and she lives there for a few days when she has nothing to do. She is still very young, at the age of tigers and wolves. Things that she dare not do in Jingxinzhai come to his houses. That was a very unscrupulous play.

This matter is quite offensive, Bao Zheng has always been very difficult to tolerate, but it may be because of his sympathy for the concubine who was thrown into the cold palace. Bao Zheng has never interfered with Die Concubine's affairs. As long as they don't disturb the public security in the capital, they have always been well Water does not violate river water.

But now, a maid of Jingxinzhai was killed, Bao Zheng had no choice but to deal with them. Although it was difficult, it was imperative.
