Liu Zan took a look at the list of key figures in the case compiled by Feng Boyu earlier, and said: "My name is Tang Qingnian. After passing the imperial examination two years ago, he became an official, and now he is working in the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise and said: "Tang Yijun himself is a martial artist and doesn't know a few Chinese characters. He didn't expect to raise a son who can read. Mr. Cai just said that Tang Yijun, the later wife, has become very powerful in recent years. There are a lot of people, I don¡¯t know which family it is?¡±
"Mrs. Xiao Tang's eldest brother, I think the prince has also seen her in the palace on weekdays. It is Wenchang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who was promoted from Luoyang a few years ago." Liu Zang said.
Minister of the Ministry of Personnel? Doesn't he happen to be Tang Qingnian's immediate boss? The complicated clues in Qin Yao's mind seemed to be connected together by something, and they became clear instantly.
Lin Xiao also had some understanding. He glanced at Qinyao tacitly and asked Liu Zan: "I wonder where Tang Yijun lives now? He just moved from Luoyang to Chang'an last year. It must be a newly purchased house? "
Liu Zan glanced at the document in his hand, nodded and said, "It's in Baoning Lane."
Qinyao was shocked. She didn¡¯t expect that the Tang Mansion was in the same alley as Pei Min¡¯s house! She couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to rush to Baoning Lane immediately to find out.
Lin Xiao asked Qin Yao for his opinion, "Taoist Priest Yuan Zhen, is there still a need for an autopsy?"
Qin Yao thought for a while and shook her head. Whether to conduct an autopsy or not is not the key point now. How to avoid the next victim is the key.
Lin Xiao also thought of this, stood up and said goodbye to Liu Zan: "To be honest, when Tang Qingsheng's body was found in Nanyuanze, my two Taoist brothers happened to be nearby. Seeing the condition of the body, I guess There are probably evil spirits involved in this case. I was afraid that other victims would appear one after another like the last time, so I came here to inquire about it. Speaking of which, I have been harassing you many times, so I hope Mr. Liu will not blame him. "
Liu Zan smiled and said: "Wei Jin, why do you need to be polite to me? For one thing, the year before last, I was ordered to go to Youzhou to investigate the case. I met the bandits not long after I left Chang'an City. If it weren't for Wei Jin, you just happened to be hunting back to the city and killed me. Rescued from a gangster, is Liu Mouan still alive?
"Secondly, although I used to boast that I was familiar with the books of sages and never believed in the theory of strange forces and gods, many of the major cases I have dealt with in the past year are inseparable from evil spirits and heretics. With our naked eyes, I can rely solely on myself. With all my strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to seek justice for the wrongful death. If someone with profound knowledge can help solve the case, it will be of great help. I am not one of those stubborn people, so how can I not even tell the difference between good and bad?"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Liu is indeed an open-minded and cheerful person. In this case, we will leave first. If we find anything, we will discuss it with Mr. Liu."
The three of them came out, Qin Yao was still on the carriage changing into women's clothes. Without daring to delay, we went straight to Baoning Lane.
Qin Yao recalled what Liu Zan said just now, raised her eyes and said to Lin Xiao: "This Tang Yijun's heart has already moved to his armpit. The two sons are so different in age, and one is the daughter of the original wife, and the other is the daughter of the stepmother." Come on, no matter what, the eldest son should be made the crown prince, but the title of crown prince was given to the second son."
Lin Xiao nodded, "According to what we saw that day at the lakeside, that Mrs. Tang was able to scold and scold Tang Qingnian in public without any scruples. I guess he was already weak, and Mrs. Tang was still arrogant. When Tang Qingnian was young, he was still I don¡¯t know how to treat him poorly.¡±
Qin Yao was deeply convinced and continued: "The most terrible thing is that Mrs. Tang's eldest brother is still Tang Qingnian's immediate boss. His biological mother died in an unknown way, and his father has been partial and careless in recent years. Regarding my stepmother and stepbrother. I finally got out of the official career, and I thought I could finally get through it, but I was suppressed by my stepmother's eldest brother. If I think about it carefully, I really have no hope of getting ahead."
Because there was no hope of getting ahead, he simply summoned the jade corpse and used the jade corpse to kill him?
Qin Yao looked at Lin Xiao, and both of them had doubts at the same time. Could it really be him?
"Never mind." Qin Yao said decisively, "The most urgent thing is to protect my classmate without making any mistakes. Since the Tang family and the Pei family are next to each other, it's good, so we don't have to run away for two days. Come back, just in time to watch both families together."
"Do you want me to send some people over to help?" Lin Xiao saw her solemn expression and asked for her opinion.
"No need." Qin Yao shook her head, "The jade corpse is extremely powerful. I'm afraid ordinary people won't know how to deal with it. It will only increase casualties. It's better to have people go to Dayin Temple to find the disciples of Abbot Yuanjue and ask them to Hurry up and help near Baoning Lane."
Lin Xiao heard this and without hesitation ordered people to go to Dayin Temple to deliver the message.
Qin Yao saw that he was quick in thinking and extremely decisive in doing things, and that every thought and action was in perfect harmony with hers. She suddenly felt that Lin Xiao seemed to be better than she thought, or in other words, he liked her a little more than she thought.
She felt warm in her heart,Looking at Lin Xiao quietly, she secretly made up her mind that since he treated her so well, she would have to let him know how much she valued him all the time in the future.
The carriage from Prince Lan's Mansion was always moving very fast, and it arrived at Baoning Alley in a blink of an eye. As expected, the alley was bustling with activity. Two houses stood side by side, one was the Pei Mansion and the other was the Tang Mansion.
Qin Yao jumped off the carriage, took out the post she had prepared at Qingyun Temple, handed it to the servants in front of Pei Mansion, and asked them to come in and inform Pei Min.
After waiting for a while, a person who looked like a steward came out and replied, saying that the young lady had gone out to visit relatives early in the morning and was not in the house at the moment, and she did not know when she would be able to return.
Qin Yao had no choice but to give up, return to the carriage, and said to Lin Xiao, "She is not in the house."
Lin Xiaogang ordered Wei Bo and others to keep an eye on Tang Zhai, waiting for Tang Qingnian to come back, and then come over and report immediately.
Seeing Qin Yao coming up in the scorching sun, with a few glistening beads of sweat hanging on her fair forehead, she couldn't help but feel distressed. She whispered, "I've been busy all afternoon. Let's take a rest now. It's broad daylight. I want to see the jade corpse." I don¡¯t dare to come out to do evil.¡±
Qin Yao saw that his temples were soaked in sweat, and he was obviously very hot. She thought that he had finally rested, and could have been lying down in Prince Lan's palace, but instead he was running around with her. She felt very sorry and hesitated for a moment. After meeting, he took out a piece of ice shark gauze handkerchief from his sleeve, raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his temples, and said with a blushing face: "Don't worry about me for now. You have sweat on your forehead too. I'll wipe it for you." .¡±
Lin Xiao prepared a lot of iced lychees for Qin Yao on the small table in the car. A Han was eating happily, but when he saw this scene, his mouth opened wide and he even forgot to chew the lychees.
Lin Xiao was also lost for a moment. He saw her gently wiping her temples with a handkerchief. Her fair face was very quiet, her skin was greasy, her breathing was like blue, and her Adam's apple rolled a few times. He couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly made a backhand move. He grasped Qin Yao's wrist and looked at her with burning eyes. He exerted slight force on his hand, with the faint intention of taking her into his arms.
Qin Yao panicked when she saw the same dangerous look on Lin Xiao's face that she had last time at Liuliju. She hurriedly struggled to take her hand back. Fortunately, this time Lin Xiao finally realized that Ahan was also there, and her hand relaxed. , Qinyao earned it easily,
Qinyao sat down in a hurry.
Ahan¡¯s face was full of confusion, ¡°Your Majesty, Ayao, what are you doing?¡±
The two of them coughed awkwardly at the same time. Qin Yao felt that the car was getting more and more stuffy. She quickly turned around and opened the curtain to look outside. After a while, she said: "There is no movement in the Tang Mansion. I don't think Pei Min will be back in a while." It¡¯s already noon, senior brother, are you hungry?¡±
Ahan nodded vigorously as he started peeling lychees again, "Why aren't you hungry? You've been so hungry for a long time."
Qin Yao slightly poked her head outside to take a look, her eyes lit up and she said, "Hey, there is actually a Fuchunzhai here?"
Turning to Lin Xiao, he said: "The food in this restaurant is very delicious, and the wine is also very fragrant, but the price is too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. Master usually only brought me and A Han to eat here once. We thought it cost too much, so we refused to do it again." Brought us here."
Lin Xiao was slightly startled, with a bit of embarrassment in his expression, and said, "Since we like to eat, let's go in and order whatever we want, no need to be polite."
Seeing that Lin Xiao clearly planned to treat guests, Qin Yao cheered and got off the carriage.
The three of them were walking inside when Chang Rong came from behind with a strange expression on his face and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to eat here?"
Just as Lin Xiao was about to speak, a fat shopkeeper ran out, bowed to Lin Xiao and said with a smile: "Master Shao, I didn't know you were coming today, so I couldn't welcome you from far away. Please don't blame Shao Dong." This man was tall and fat. He was tall, with a round face full of wrinkles. He was obviously old, but he spoke to Lin Xiao in a very friendly tone, and his expression was obviously very happy.
"Young master?" Qin Yao paused and looked at Lin Xiao in surprise.
Chang Rong saw that Lin Xiao obviously had no intention of covering it up anymore, so he whispered: "Yes, the Fuchunzhai in Chang'an City were all given to our princess as a dowry. After her death, she left them all to the prince."
A-Han has an extraordinary ear. After hearing this, he said happily: "A-Yao, since these shops belong to the prince, we won't have to worry about not being able to pay the bill when we come to eat in the future. Master won't always scold us for being greedy."
Qinyao coughed slightly and said in a low voice: "Senior brother."
Lin Xiao did not feel dissatisfied, and said to the fat shopkeeper: "Quickly gather some good wine and delicious food and bring them over."
The fat shopkeeper agreed and happily went down with a group of servants to organize things.
