Text Chapter 63: The Lost Candlestick

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Meng Xia walked to the wall, "Brother Yu?"

    The voice came from the other side of Meng Xia, which came from Tianzi No. 43.

    "Candlestick."

    Yu Shuangsi lowered her voice very low, but Meng Xia still caught what the other party said.

    Candlestick?  What's the meaning?  Meng Xia subconsciously turned her head to look at her desk case, and was shocked for a moment, the candlestick on her desk was gone!

    "On the thirty-ninth."

    Yu Shuangsi said another sentence.

    Someone took his own candlestick?  Still at the scene of the crime?

    Thinking about the murder case this morning again, I can roughly sum up the whole incident in an instant. Someone wants to frame himself.

    But what is the reason?  I had never met the deceased, even if the other party framed me, but I had no motive to kill, and it was at the Chunwei meeting where everyone is paying close attention to Da Chu.

    The first thing Meng Xia thinks about now is not to prove his innocence, but who is framing him.  There are roughly four directions in my heart. The first one is Jinyulou. At the beginning, the case of Wang Sanlai and the case of Jinyulou selling boys and girls were solved in Zilin, Yongzhou, which greatly reduced the reputation of Jinyulou.

    The second one is Prince Jing or Chu Shaoqi, Prince Jing's heir. Recently, besides Jin Yulou, Chu Shaoqi has had grudges against him, including Chu Shaoqi who even wanted to kill Meng Xia when he saw Meng Xia yesterday.  Moreover, Prince Jing also has some power in the court, but after thinking about it, Meng Xia ruled out this option because Prince Jing would never do such a mindless thing.  It would be so stupid, if these people were not driven by huge interests, they would never be able to gamble with their lives.

    The third one is King Qin's party. Why he doubted King Qin was mainly because Second Uncle Bai told him that King Qin and the crown prince were fighting against each other.  Naturally, it is unavoidable to confront the King of Qin, and it is reasonable to eradicate himself as soon as possible to avoid future troubles, but Meng Xia still feels that the possibility of King Qin's party is too small.

    Let's not say that I am just an unknown person, it is difficult to get into the eyes of the King of Qin, even if I get into the sight of the King of Qin, it is not possible to take such a big risk to get rid of myself.  This is the Chunwei meeting, not to mention how many big figures in the court are staring at it, maybe even Emperor Yuan Jing is also paying attention here.

    The last direction is that someone from the Yaozu wants to harm him. One reason is that the Seven Monsters of Huangshan once told him that there is a shadow of the Yaozu in the case of selling boys and girls in Jinyulou, saying that the Yaozu will not let him go.  But at that time, there was no shadow of Yaozu all the way from Yongzhou to Qianzhou. It wasn't that Yaozu let him go just like that, but Shi Kan was always by his side at that time, and there was no time to make a move.

    But the possibility of Yaozu is not very high. Why do you say that? It¡¯s still the same reason. This is the Chunwei Examination, and this is the capital.  No matter how strong the Yaozu's penetration into Dachu was, even if there were spies from the Yaozu in the capital, they would not dare to make such a big commotion in the Chunwei meeting.

    After thinking about all kinds of things, Meng Xia thinks it must be the Jinyu Tower if he can reach out so well that he dares to stretch out his hand in the Chunwei Examination.

    Meng Xia gently lifted the curtain and slowly stretched out his head. Commander Xu remained motionless with the big horse and golden knife. Meng Xia wanted to lean his body out to see if he could have a word with the commander.  , it turned out that there seemed to be an unspeakable force pushing him back.

    Now that the candlestick has disappeared, and there is no way to investigate the scene of the murder, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell for a while.

    Getting out and being unable to get out, there is no way, Meng Xia can only wait and see what happens.

    Another stick of incense passed by, and the noisy footsteps outside came from far to near, and the footsteps should have entered the shed next door.  Less than a quarter of an hour later, a group of people hurried over and walked to the next door.

    Meng Xia wanted to hear it. Logically speaking, if there was someone communicating next door, he would be able to hear it here, but what was strange was that there was no sound coming from the next door, probably because he was afraid that his words would be overheard, so he blocked the voice.

    Not long after, a person came out from the next room,

    "Come here, search around. Those without candlesticks will be brought to me."

    "Here!"

    Meng Xia sighed, his heart was sure.

    Jin Yuwei was extremely fast and immediately scattered around to check the sheds one by one. A Jin Yuwei quickly lifted Meng Xia's curtain, and then quickly put it down. This Jin Yuwei didn't expect that the first shed he searched had something  I found out that I just took two steps after putting down the curtain, and realized that something was wrong, I turned my head and opened the curtain again.

    This time, the Jin Yuwei's pupils trembled, and he pressed his hand directly on the handle of the knife at his waist.

    "You, come out!"

    Hearing the movement here, all the outside eyes focused.

    ?Xia Xia was not afraid in his heart, and he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if he did not do anything wrong. The other party just wanted to use this murder case to deal with him.  There is only one thing that puzzles Meng Xia, that is, since the other party can kill people in the Chunwei meeting, why do they have to kill others to frame him, wouldn't it be good to just kill Meng Xia? This is a real headache for Meng Xia.

    He walked out slowly, "Be careful." Yu Shuangsi next door no longer lowered his voice this time, and Meng Xia was slightly moved.

    He is the focus of everyone now, because he was involved in this case, if ordinary people would choose to be wise and safe, and Yu Shuangsi was still willing to support him, it showed that Meng Xia did not misunderstand the person.

    "My lord! The suspect has been brought here. The subordinates found no candlestick in the room of this person."

    The Golden Feather Guard didn't escort Meng Xia just now, and there are so many masters here that he is not afraid of Meng Xia's resistance.

    Meng Xia looked at the group of people in front of him, officials wearing scarlet gowns, one of them had a golden pheasant embroidered on the robe, and small flowers three inches in diameter at the bottom of the robe, and a peacock was embroidered on the robe, and scattered flowers were two inches in diameter on the bottom of the robe.  Among the people, these two should have the highest official positions.  There are also a group of policemen in black embroidered with the word "Catch" on their chests.

    The Meng Xia who embroidered the golden pheasant guessed it. It should be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Da Chu, but the other one didn't know.

    If ordinary people saw such a battle, they would probably not even have the courage to speak, but Meng Xia was not intimidated by the battle in front of him, and he waved his sleeves and bowed slightly to everyone, "Student Meng Xia, I have met you adults.  "

    "My official is Qiu Shoudao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

    Qiu Shoudao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, squinted his eyes and scanned Meng Xia back and forth. He had a Chinese face, and he stood there without anger and prestige. He was suitable for the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, but Meng Xia was made to kneel when he opened his mouth. The official authority is so great.  ah.

    "Reporting to Mr. Qiu, according to the law of Da Chu, those who raise people don't kneel when they meet officials."

    There was an uproar around.

    Qiu Shoudao's squinting eyes suddenly widened. He really didn't expect that a small student would dare to refute him in the face of him, a second-rank official.

    Seeing this scene, the scarlet-robed official embroidered with peacocks behind him raised his mouth unconsciously.
