Chapter 130 Doubt
Zhong Bing straight said: "Yes, chains are all the same.
Situ Ce said: "If you can exchange the box with the same box, Ming must know that their box contains silver, right?"
"Of course."
"However, this merchant brought two servants and a box of silver. He should be very cautious. He would not easily know that there was silver inside, right?"
"Yes, wealth is nothing more than it! But maybe it's unknown when the thief saw it."
Situ Ce smiled: "If it were that thief who found a box filled with silver, would he try hard to buy a box that was exactly the same to get the bag, or would he steal the box directly?"
"Yes! The thief can take away the box if he can transfer the bag. It would be easier to steal the box directly! - My God, there is really a problem here!" With a word, Zhong Bingzhi's two squinting eyes lit up and said repeatedly: "Yes! I'll go and check this merchant now! He ***, this old prisoner reported a fake case by himself! Thank you very much! Thank you! Real person, thank you for waking up, and I'll be happy when the case is solved, thank you!"
"We have thanked me for a lot of things, so we're welcome.
"It should be, hehe"
Zhong Bingzhi and Long Xiang hurried away with the people happily.
When they left the back garden, Liu'er came out with her close maid Qingcao and three dance girls to meet Situ Ce. Situ Ce said: "I'm going to see you guys choreographing dances here. I guess there's something good about it, right?"
Liu'er smiled and said, "It's not finished yet. After it is finished, I will ask Qingcao to tell the master."
"Okay, I'll wait."
Yalai Qingcao looked around with black eyes and asked, "Master, we just heard a loud noise. I don't know what was going on. I was so scared that the girl's face changed, but what happened?"
Situ Ce smiled and said, "The Jinyiwei gave me a musket and just tried to shoot one shot. I didn't follow you in advance. I was scared and embarrassed."
Liu'er said: "It's okay, Qingcao was scared by himself, but he was biased against others."
Qingcao smiled and stuck out his tongue, saying, "Master, we girl sang a song with the master Yangguan Sandie last time. The tunes sang by the master were different from others, and they were particularly nice. We girls wrote them down when they came back and spread them into piano music. Do you want to listen to them?"
"Okay! It's all right today. Let's listen to Miss Liu'er's new song."
Liu'er bowed and said, "I dare not plunder the beauty of others. This is the master's new song."
"Hahaha, okay, no matter who it belongs, listen"
Qingcao quickly ran back and brought the guqin out. Situ Ce's close servant Jing Ge'er helped carry a piano table, then placed it on the lake table and burned a furnace of incense.
It seems that in order to meet the situation, the already cloudy sky floated up, and the raindrops were everywhere, and it felt a bit cool when it touched people.
After Liu'er's blessing, she sat upright in front of the piano table, picked up slowly, and played the new song "Yangguan Sandie". Situ Ce nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and couldn't help but praise: "Liu'er is really smart. He just listened to it once and remembered it."
"The master is a bit ridiculous. This song is really more graceful than the songs we play and sing, and more in line with the artistic conception of this poem. However, there are several places where I don't remember it very accurately. Can the master sing it again? I will change it again."
"Okay, let's play, I'll sing."
At that moment, Situ Ce sang again, Liu'er changed it and played it again, nodding with satisfaction.
Situ Ce was very excited and said now: "There is another song "Three Plum Blossoms", which can you play?"
As the leading singer in the capital, Liu'er is both good at playing music that can be called. "Three Plum Blossoms" is a famous ancient song. She didn't know how she was, but the name was "Falling Plum Blossoms" or "Three Plum Blossoms". Moreover, during the Ming Dynasty, this song was a flute song, but many people played it with a flute. Compared with the flute, it was less arrogant and more sad.
Of course, this is different from the "Three Plum Blossoms" by modern singer Jiang Yuheng.
Liu'er knew that he was this song, so he nodded. Without giving instructions, Qingcao ran to get a tube of flute. Liu'er blew it, and Situ Ce was fascinated by listening.
After listening to the song, Situ Ce repeatedly exclaimed. At noon, Zhen ordered the food to be placed in the garden to eat. He asked Liu'er to drink and talk with him.
After dinner, I sat by the lake and drank tea and enjoyed the autumn scenery. Seeing that the leaves in the courtyard had almost all fallen, I felt a little sad.
Linglong didn't want to see the monk's sadness, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Master, do you want to ask Uncle Jing Er to come and do business?"
Situ Ce made a casual remark, and soon, Uncle Jing's second place came. He held a stack of books and yelled at the tribute and reported the business one by one.
The business that Uncle Jing Er manages is really good and has already started to make money. The land he bought has also adjusted the tenants, hoping that how much rice can be harvested next autumn harvest.
Situ Ce was not very excited about these things. He heard that he was sleeping in a daze, and Linglong had to wake up from the side. He heard it in and finally said, thanking him for his hard work, so that Uncle Jing second retreated.
After this trouble, Situ Ce was in a better mood. When he was working in the afternoon, he went to the yamen. He Lanbing was still investigating the case outside. Situ Ce looked through the case files again, practiced calligraphy, and investigated the yamen in the evening.
When Situ Ce returned home, he went straight to the backyard and talked to Liu'er and listened to her singing and dancing. Linglong had already told her not to let the master be too sad, so Liu'er sang some pleasant piano music tactfully, danced some cheerful dances for Situ Ce to see, and picked up some happy topics for Situ Ce. He talked until evening, and Situ Ce had dinner with Liu'er in the backyard again.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Situ Ce said, "It's great here, but it's really boring for us to be here all the time. We can go out for a walk."
Liu'er Fuli agreed and thanked the master. Situ Ce returned to the inner house to rest.
The next day, Helanbing came to the study. Situ Ce asked her about the progress of the case. Helanbing said: "There has been some progress, but the suspect has not been found yet."
"Come and listen, let's put it together."
"This house was a businessman named Long. The machine was repaired fifty years ago. After living there for a few years, the merchant died of illness here. His family moved to another courtyard. So the garden was idle and no one lived there. Later, the family was a little struggling in daily life, so they rented the idle garden to others. Several families rented it, all for living, and some merchants rented it to load goods. Fifteen years ago to ten years ago, there were only three families who had rented this garden in the five years that had been rented fifteen years ago to ten years ago.
One family was a businessman named Liu. He rented it as a warehouse to release goods. He rented it for more than two years. Later, his business was in a loss and the goods were sold to pay off the debt. The garden was rented to a scholar named Zhang, who lived there for three years until ten years ago. However, he sublet the garden to a distant relative, named Zhao. He lived there for two or three months and left. Ten years ago, the scholar named Zhang passed the imperial examination and became a juren, built his own house, moved away, and the garden was idle for two years. Eight years ago, he sold it to the current Sun family.
The Sun family lived in the city until two years ago and felt that the garden was not suitable, so they wanted to demolish and rebuild it. When digging the foundation, they found the bone."
Situ Ce pondered for a moment and said, "So, the one with the surname Liu, Zhang, and his distant relative, who is the one with the surname Zhao, is the most suspected?"
"We investigated around the three of us and found no clues. Otherwise, let's ask, maybe we can find something wrong."
"What do these three families do?"
"The person named Liu sells medicinal materials and rents a garden to store medicinal materials. The person named Zhang is a bitter scholar, but his distant relative, the one named Zhao, is a stonemason who helps people dig stones."
Situ Ce asked anxiously: "When did this person surnamed Zhao rent this house? Is it winter?"
He Lanbing was stunned, looked at him and said, "That's right, it's winter. How do you know how to tell fortunes?"
Situ Ce said in a deep voice: "This stonemason named Zhao is suspected of committing a major crime!"
"Oh? Why?"
Situ Ce took out the file, opened the corpse grid for the on-site investigation and filled out the autopsy. It was the corpse inspection form, and said: "It is written very clearly. The deceased had no clothes on the upper and lower bodies, but he was wearing two pairs of thick socks on his feet! What does this mean?"
He Lanbing immediately recalled Gon Situ Ce's words, his eyes lit up and said, "Winter! The deceased was killed in winter, so he wore two pairs of socks on his feet!"
"That's right!" Situ Ce pointed to the comment on the corpse grid and said, "It says that the broken thigh bones on both sides are neat, and it is obvious that the leg of the deceased was cut off with one knife! In addition to being able to cut off the thighs of the deceased with one knife, strength is also very important. Without enough strength, it is impossible to complete the garrison! At that time, the three families were surnamed Liu, the cloth merchant, and the gentle scholar of Zhang, and the only one named Zhao, was a stonemason. Among the three, he should have the greatest strength, and he must have great strength to dig stones. He happened to rent here in winter, so he was the most suspicious!"
Helanbing nodded repeatedly: "I have ignored this, okay, I will check it immediately. Focus on this stonemason named Zhao.
He Lanbing went to work hard. When he arrived at the Sanya, Situ Ce came out of the back door and was about to go home. He was blocked as soon as he went out. Two people, two people who should not have been together, one was Zhong Bingzhi, a hundred household of Jinyiwei, and the other was Diao Peng, the manager of the East Factory!
