[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 13 Witness [English]

The next day was rest, and it was almost noon when Su Moyi woke up.

The consequences of a hangover are dry mouth and fragmented memory.

Su Mo recalled getting up and getting himself a cup of tea. The last scene he vaguely remembered was Lin Wanqing holding his nose and pouring him wine.

“Ye Qing,” he called, his voice still a little hoarse, “Where is Lin Lu?”

Ye Qing choked, and his face, which was already speechless, became even more helpless.

We obviously spent a good night together last night, but now we have to find someone as soon as we wake up…

He sighed and returned: “Lin Lushi said that the master did not make any arrangements for her today, so he went out early in the morning.”

Su Moyi sneered when he heard this.

But I also know that if I get into trouble, I have to hide first.

“You didn’t say where you were going?”

Ye Qing tried his best to maintain his increasingly devastated expression, and whispered “No” in a low voice.

Su Moyi’s black pupils shrank with dissatisfaction on her face.

This dissatisfaction was seen by Ye Qing. He didn’t want to get into trouble with Su Moyi, so he went out and quietly ordered a vanilla soup bath for him.

The steamy clean room is filled with fresh scent, which is very effective in soothing the headache after a hangover.

Su Moyi closed her eyes and leaned against the tub, her arms with perfect lines casually resting on the edge of the tub, and let out a long sigh.

The dense steam made him slightly tipsy, and his consciousness relaxed.

In the rigid Dali Temple and the imperial court, he had never encountered a character like Lin Wanqing.

When he is stubborn, he is like a donkey, when he is crazy, he is like a cat.

He couldn’t help but laugh. He thought it was quite interesting to compete with her several times.

Of course, Su Moyi could see that Lin Wanqing was thinking hard about going to that file room. As for the reason, it was just to satisfy her curiosity and gain experience from the sages so that she could show off her skills in the future.

In this case, he thinks he can hold on to this chip for a little longer.

Su Moyi was so lost in thought that she lowered her arms and accidentally photographed the bath towel floating on the water.

he was startled, this soft touch seemed to have been felt somewhere last night.

But, last night…

He didn’t seem to have touched anyone. The only person who had physical contact with him was Lin Wanqing, who carried him back.

“Sir,” Ye Qing’s voice came from outside the door, and his thoughts were interrupted.

Su Moyi put the bath towel in the bucket on her shoulders and let Ye Qing come in to talk.

“Song Zhongshu still excused himself because of his illness and refused to accept the cross-examination from Dali Temple.” Ye Qing said.

“Oh,” Su Moyi said mockingly, “this old fox.”

He slowly leaned back to the tub and began to think coldly.

Song Zhengxing’s case also involves a Yellow River disaster relief operation two years ago.

Problems with disaster relief funds have been common in all dynasties, and it is not a major event that deserves surprise.After all, it’s just that after this day, those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and those who deserve to be demoted will be demoted.If the people below are wise enough to take some without pain and do the job effectively, the emperor might just turn a blind eye and let them go.

But that disaster relief event was special. The disaster relief funds collected by the imperial court from various state governments turned out to be shoddy “fake silver.”

Among the 500,000 taels of official silver collected, more than 200,000 taels were “fake silver” mixed with other metals.

Two hundred thousand taels is the tax revenue of a state capital for an entire year.If it flows into the market, it will cause prices to skyrocket and people’s livelihood to decline.

What is even more frightening is that the money came from the treasury of various state governments.

This undoubtedly stepped on the emperor’s bottom line.

The emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation immediately.However, the disaster has developed to the point where it is out of control. If we spare the energy to conduct a rigorous investigation, people’s livelihood will inevitably be used as a weight in the internal struggle.

In the end, the Ministry of Punishment sentenced more than 50 people from the Mint Department and several subordinate mines, and the main culprit committed suicide out of fear of crime.This matter can no longer be investigated.

In the final analysis, those people took advantage of the flood and were able to escape.

But these natural and man-made disasters are never controllable by humans.

Su Moyi didn’t believe in coincidence.

The disaster is uncontrollable, but the time to report it to the court is controllable.

If the news of the flood had come half a month earlier, the emperor would not have been in such a passive situation.

For this to happen, three conditions must be met, each of which is indispensable: first, the timing of the emperor learning about the disaster; second, clearing out all clues that can be investigated; third, the relationship with a subordinate official or mine.

After sorting out the clues, Su Moyi discovered that among the high-ranking officials in the court, only Song Zhengxing had such ability.

He has been an official for decades and served two generations of kings.During the previous dynasty, he served as governor in Hongzhou, a city with developed mining industry.He was later transferred to the post of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment by the late emperor. Soon after he was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, he was appointed Zhongshu Ling by the emperor.

But suspicion is suspicion, there is no evidence or even motive.Of course, Dali Temple cannot interrogate an important minister at will.In the end, we can only place an informant in He’s house to wait and see what happens.

In Wang Hu’s case, Song Zhengxing was the victim.

The crime scene was not in his house and could not be searched.

In the past few inquiries, he only responded once, pretending to be distraught and at a loss as to what to do, and only told some useless things back and forth.

Now, as long as he keeps using the excuse of losing his loved one and avoiding being hurt by the situation, Su Moyi can’t find a reason to forcibly interrogate him.

Therefore, there has been no breakthrough on Song Zhengxing’s side these days.

You can’t just sit there and wait for death.

Su Moyi calmed down her emotions, looked up at Ye Qing and said, “After dark tonight, come with me to explore the Song Mansion.”

Ye Qing’s eyes widened, feeling that this proposal was too risky, “Sir, do you want to go in person?”

Su Moyi looked at he and almost rolled her eyes, “You are the only person in Dali Temple that I completely trust.”

Ye Qing was very touched, his eyes were red and he was about to thank Mr. Su for his kindness, when he heard Su Moyi’s cold voice.

He said: “But your brain is not good, so I can only do it myself.”

Ye Qing: “…”

The night falls, and a crescent moon appears in the sky.

Lin Wanqing spent the whole day in Pingkangfang today, asking those flower girls thoroughly about the things that she didn’t have time to ask yesterday.

It was past meal time, but before she had time to eat, she ordered a bowl of wontons from a stall on the street.

While she was eating, she flipped through the booklet in her hand and drew a circle of men known to the victims.

The sound of horse hooves sounded in my ears.

Lin Wanqing looked up and saw a carriage slowly stopping at the door of a mansion not far away, followed by many people.

Song Mansion?

With a shiver in her heart, she put down her chopsticks and asked, “Is the one in front of me the residence of Mr. Song, Zhongshu Ling, a high official in the imperial court?”

The vendor said yes without raising his head.

Lin Wanqing couldn’t help but take a second look.

After the carriage stopped, the people next to it were busy moving things. It looked like a small theater troupe with good Feng Shui.It should be because of Aunt Zhao’s previous incident that she wanted to go to the Song Mansion to clear away the bad luck.

Lin Wanqing smiled, feeling that she had a serious occupational disease. Just when she was about to look away, she suddenly saw a maid in a green dress coming into the house.

Because the distance was too far, Lin Wanqing could clearly see her face.

She sways more than ordinary people when walking. It looks like she is lame.

A string in his head suddenly became tense.

Lin Wanqing quickly put down her chopsticks and walked along the street to the bottom of a big tree next to the side door of Song Mansion.

The maid didn’t notice her and ordered a group of people to move here and there before entering the house.

It was getting darker and darker, and there were at least a dozen people in the troupe, crowded together noisily.

Lin Wanqing fished in troubled waters and followed a group of helpers into the Song Mansion while carrying the musical instruments on the car.

They walked through the main courtyard and followed the corridor beside the hall to the back room of the mansion. They piled their things in a small room and followed the steward to set up the stage.

Lin Wanqing quickly and quietly walked around to the other side of the room, following the lame maid from a distance.

She had just walked along, roughly memorizing the layout of the courtyard, avoiding several guards at the entrance of the courtyard, and followed her all the way to the main hall of the other courtyard.

The maid opened the door and walked in.

Lin Wanqing originally interrupted and continued to linger here, waiting until the troupe set up the stage and left before hanging out, until a babyish voice asked from behind: “Who are you?”

It was a half-grown little doll, holding a candy man in one hand, looking up at her with a frown.

Lin Wanqing was speechless and didn’t know how to answer.But just for a moment of hesitation, the little baby suddenly started shouting.

The child’s voice is high-pitched and sharp, with strong penetrating power.

Lin Wanqing wanted to cover his mouth, but he had already run away crying. Wouldn’t chasing him mean to die?

She weighed it up and decided to find a place where no one was around to hide.

There is a small room ten steps ahead. It is dark at night and there is no light, so there must be no one there.

She found the right place, came to a half-open window, and jumped in with her arms stretched out.

Soon the footsteps of servants chasing after him and the noise of people could be heard outside the door.

Lin Wanqing was worried that they would break in, and in the dim moonlight, she touched a wooden door panel.

She rubbed her hands on it a few times and found that it was a tall wardrobe. She secretly compared it and found that it would not be a problem to fit her into it.

Footsteps were already outside the door. Someone took out the key and unlocked the door, and the copper lock made a frightening clicking sound.

Lin Wanqing stopped thinking about it. When she opened the closet, an arm suddenly stretched out from inside, took her hand and pulled her into the cupboard!

The wooden door creaked open, but the room was as silent as ever.

Servants walked around holding torches, their swords making the furniture bang.

Lin Wanqing in the closet was scared to death.

After the man just pulled her in, he pressed the aorta on her wrist, and his other hand was currently covering her mouth.

What is going on?!

Could it be that other than she, who else would come to the residence of a third-grade official to seek death after being so full?!

Lin Wanqing cursed in her heart, but her body was stiff and did not dare to move.

He was both afraid of being found and afraid of being killed. As his thoughts fluctuated, a layer of sweat quickly fell down his back.

“Don’t make a sound,” a cold, low voice sounded in his ears, which was quite familiar.

Lin Wanqing was startled and wanted to turn around to look, but was pushed back by the man.

“Don’t move!” He was a little impatient and tightened his hand on her artery a little harder.

At this time, the servant had completed a round of searches and found nothing and was ready to leave.

A voice suddenly stopped when he reached the closet. The next moment, Lin Wanqing saw a beam of firelight coming from the gap in the closet.

not good!He wants to open the wardrobe!

The person behind her seemed to notice it, and slightly loosened her hand, pushing her forward.

No, the person behind the relationship is planning to throw her out when someone opens the door, and then wait for an opportunity to escape, right?!

“What are you doing?!” A sharp female voice sounded outside the door, followed by a flurry of footsteps.

Everyone present stopped searching and respectfully said to her: “Aunt Wang.”

Lin Wanqing felt her heart that was about to jump out of her throat suddenly relax a little, it seemed that she would not be pushed out for the time being.

“Can you servants just enter my dormitory?”

“No, Auntie,” a light flashed in front of the gap in the closet, and a man explained: “Just now, the young master said he saw a scary person, and Auntie Li asked the young ones to come and take a look.”

Aunt Wang sneered, “Who is Aunt Li? There is a theater troupe here tonight to set up the stage. It is normal to see one or two strangers. The young master made a fuss, are you going crazy too?!”

Everyone choked and became silent.

“Get out!” As Aunt Wang screamed, the sound of broken porcelain was heard.

Then as soon as the fire dimmed, there was the sound of everyone exiting the dormitory.

Lin Wanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves softened, and she breathed out gently.

She felt the person behind her tremble, and then asked in disbelief: “Lin Wanqing?”

Sigh… I should have thought a long time ago that besides Mr. Su, the Qing of Dali Temple, who else could be so ignorant about exploring the Song Dynasty at night?

At this time, candles were already lighting up in the room. Lin Wanqing turned around and nodded. With the faint light, she saw Su Moyi’s helpless eyes.

After checking their eyes, both of them felt a little relieved.

Just as he was about to figure out how to escape now, he heard Aunt Wang softly call out to somewhere in the room: “Sanlang.”

“…” The two of them were startled at the same time. What is going on?!

With Mr. Su’s approval, Lin Wanqing slightly opened the wooden door in front of him.

With just one glance, both of them straightened up again to varying degrees.

A well-dressed man walked out from behind Aunt Wang’s tented bed!

No wonder, no wonder she had such a big reaction just now, it turned out that she had something wrong in her heart!

“Sanlang~” The voice of the woman in front of him was so delicate and soft that it could drip water.

She walked toward the man sitting on the edge of the bed. Under the candlelight, a pair of snowy peaks hidden under the brocade undulated.

“If you didn’t go to the main hall to watch a play with me, what were you doing here? You were almost discovered.” She said in a scolding tone, but there was clear seduction in her voice.

The person on the bed looked at her, smiled frivolously, and pulled her into his arms with a strong movement of his hands.

He stroked her fair cheek with one hand, and reached between the woman’s deliberately clamped legs with his other hand.

“My dad, that old guy, can’t even protect himself anymore. It’s no use doing this all day long. It’s better to come to Qingqing and have fun…” As he spoke, he moved his long finger and teased out a string of moans from the woman.

“You haven’t been here for a few days. Qingqing misses Saburo?”

As the man spoke, he unbuttoned his pants.As soon as he let go, a purple-black object came out between his legs eagerly, glaring angrily and surrounded by veins.

“Open your legs and let Saburo go in and have a good time.”

Lin Wanqing in the closet had no time to react to the situation in front of her. She was as stunned as a stone statue…

The concubine and her son acted, she and Su Mo recalled…

This is too exciting…
