Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 116 You Almost Succeeded

Hu Qian wondered, "What's the problem?"

Ruan Conghai said: "Lord Bai's house is guarded by Lord Peng, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to enter."

Hu Qian said: "Didn't Master Mao just let go of power? Why can't you go?"

Ruan Conghai looked distressed, "Beizhen Fusi is respected by Lord Mao, and under Lord Mao, there are two commanders, Lord Peng and Lord Kang.

The two are in the same situation, and they both want to kill each other.

But Mr. Kang was killed before, so apart from Mr. Mao, no one in Beizhen Fusi could fight against Mr. Peng. "

Hu Qian nodded, "So Lord Ruan, Zuo Qianhu and Yang Qianhu were all under Lord Kang?"

"If not, why would it be so difficult.

Now Mr. Peng wants to use this case to eliminate dissidents, and the few of us are really in danger.

If we want to go to the scene of the murder, Mr. Peng will not say anything on the surface, but he will inevitably play tricks behind the scenes to prevent us from handling the case. "

Hu Qian nodded, "Is there a file? Show me tonight first."

So he took the file and went back to the inn.

Seeing him coming back, Guo Yu hurried over, "If I didn't know that you have unpredictable supernatural powers, I would report to the Yamen."

Before Hu Qian could speak, the boy who greeted him at the city gate came again.

"Young master, my master is here to invite you."

Hu Qian nodded, put the dossier in his arms, greeted Guo Yu, got into the sedan chair and went out.

When they arrived at Chuchu's courtyard, Bai Yufeng was already waiting there.

"Brother Jinggong, I heard that you were taken to Beizhen Fusi by Jin Yiwei?"

"Brother Wenxuan's news is really well-informed."

Entering the room, I saw a table of wine and food in the room, Chu Chu and the maid stood aside.

Bai Yufeng said: "Brother Jinggong, you haven't eaten yet, come on, let's talk while eating."

Hu Qian is not polite either.

Just as he sat down, Bai Yufeng hurriedly greeted him, "Chuchu, pour some wine."

After drinking three cups in a row, Bai Yufeng asked: "Brother Jinggong, I don't know why the Jin Yiwei of Beizhen Fusi is looking for you..."

Hu Qian said: "It's hard to say."

Bai Yufeng nodded, "I heard that two people are looking for trouble for you?"

"You know them?"

"Well, one is the grandson of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the other is the son of the General Secretary, a well-known dandy in the capital."

"I have no enmity with them..."

As if thinking of something suddenly, he said, "Are they the suitors of Princess Zhiqin?"

"It's just wishful thinking, how could Princess Zhiqin fall in love with them.

However, if the princess doesn't like it, it doesn't mean that the emperor doesn't like it, so this matter is also uncertain. "

The two had one glass after another. After a while, Hu Qian became a little drunk, and even Chu Chu, who was drinking with him, turned red from drinking.

He looked at Bai Yufeng and said, "Brother Wenxuan, you have been persuading me to drink, but you didn't want to get me drunk, did you?"

Bai Yufeng said: "Brother Jinggong, what are you talking about?"

As he spoke, he offered Hu Qian another cup.

By the second watch, Hu Qian was already so drunk that he passed out.

Bai Yufeng asked Chu Chu and the maid to help him to the bed, winked at Chu Chu, and then retreated with the maid.

Chu Chu undressed Hu Qian first, then called hot water to scrub his body, and then blew out the candles.

He just touched the belt around his waist, he couldn't help hesitating for a moment, held back tears and took off only his apron and small clothes, and slowly crawled under the covers.

However, he just touched Hu Qian's warm body, and felt shy and unbearable. He just leaned there for a while, not daring to move.

After a while, as the drunkenness rose, she fell into a drowsy sleep.

On the other side, Hu Qian slowly opened his eyes and saw that she was in a deep sleep, so he dressed and sat down at the table, lit a candle, and read the file carefully.

On the day of the incident, the Ministry of Criminal Justice reviewed the important case submitted by Dali Temple last year in his study.

At the fourth watch, the servant still saw him busy at his desk from the window.

Because this kind of thing had happened before, the servant didn't pay much attention to it.

In the morning, Mrs. Bai's wife, Mrs. Yu, brought ginseng and bird's nest tea, but there was no one answering the door, even if the servant pushed the door open.

It happened that Lord Bai's eldest son, Bai Yulin, was passing by, so he asked him to lead someone into the door.

After entering, Master Bai was already lying in a pool of blood, with a long sword beside him.

The family hurriedly reported to the Yamen.

Hu Qian looked puzzled, because it seemed like a secret room murder.

As for the fact that someone saw Ye Qiuhen at the scene, the records were very vague.

The original words on the dossier are:
The servant saw Ye Qiuhen wandering outside the gate of the mansion.

With just one sentence, the servant of the Ministry of punishment was arrested and sent to prison.

Shen Lian's matter was even more far-fetched.

It turned out that Jin Yiwei saw him appearing nearby.

These things that could not be called evidence at all almost killed Ye Qiuhen and Shen Lian.

He straightened out his thoughts, and then re-read the contents of the file word by word.

However, after reading it several times, I still didn't find anything.

It seems that this case must be seen at the scene to find out.

The night passed like that.

When it was almost dawn, Chu Chu woke up suddenly.

Seeing Hu Qian sitting at the table, he couldn't help but panic, and quickly touched his clothes.

The bellyband and the small clothes are still there, and there is no strange feeling in the body.

She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly dressed and got up, walked up to Hu Qian, and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Thank you sir."

Hu Qian said: "No, you go out first."

Chu Chu said: "I'm going to fetch some water and wait for the young master to wash up."

Hu Qian did not refuse this time.

In the main hall, seeing that Hu Qian didn't seem to have slept well, Bai Yufeng smiled and said, "Did Jinggong sleep well last night?"

Hu Qian didn't talk nonsense, and directly put the file on the table, "First, I didn't touch Miss Chuchu; second, if it's convenient, take me to the scene of the crime after dinner."

Bai Yufeng turned it over casually, his expression changed, he bowed and saluted, "Brother Jinggong is a true gentleman, I..."

Hu Qian helped him up and said with a smile, "Don't say that, you almost succeeded."

"what?"

After a while, Chu Chu and the maidservant brought over some delicate side dishes and sweet potato porridge.

Hu Qian asked while eating: "When Lord Bai died, you..."

Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly remembered that he should have been in the Zhennan Palace with him at that time.

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Apart from you and Bai Yulin, does Lord Bai have any other children?"

"There is also a big sister, Bai Yutang, who married to Yuanzhou Mansion a few years ago, and only comes back once a year during the Chinese New Year. She rushed back when she heard that something happened to her father, and she is still at home now."

"May I ask, are all three of you siblings born of Mrs. Yu?"

"No, it's just me.

The eldest sister was born to the second aunt, and the elder brother was born to the third aunt.

how?You are suspicious..."

Hu Qian said, "Just asking.

In addition, does Lord Bai have any other concubines? "

"Father also has a concubine, who has always been very fond of her, and has stayed in her room in recent years."

"Oh? She looks great?"

"No, she's born average, and her movements are rude..."
