Chapter 71: This is how he committed suicide, and he is still a gentleman. ...
——————
————————
It has been mentioned before that the Dali Temple usually handles important cases in the court, whether the answers are good or bad, or sensitive cases with far-reaching implications, which basically all go through the Dali Temple. If the Dali Temple cannot handle it, the Ministry of Justice will not want to provoke it.
But according to judicial laws, public security cases in the surrounding area are also under the control of the Dali Temple, but most of them are minor cases. If the Dali Temple is not busy, it can just deal with them in a timely manner. If it is busy, these minor cases will have to be postponed and accumulated.
Ordinary people also knew about this matter. For any minor case involving their own family, there was no need to bother the Dali Temple. It was inevitable that people were afraid of officials, let alone an institution like the Dali Temple. It would be better to report the case to the local government and have it handled.
So when the drum of complaint sounded, the first reaction of everyone inside was that there was another big case.
Li Yu, the detective disciple who had earlier given Yan Siqing the case, wrinkled his upturned nose and muttered, "That's impossible! The Red Flame Will-O'-the-Wisp case has just been concluded, and the Snowman's Ditch case is just beginning to show some clues. It hasn't been completely solved yet. If there's another major case, the half-eaten pancake on your desk is almost moldy."
What I mean is that the important case happened suddenly, and I took the order at the last minute. I just left the half-eaten pancake there, and after being busy for a while, when I looked back, I found that the pancake had gone moldy?
That’s right, Jian Wuliang’s office is a forbidden area. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Even his disciples have to follow strict rules when entering and leaving. I heard that even the sweeping, cleaning and tidying up is done by Jian Wuliang himself.
Usually when he goes out, the door is locked.
There is no way. The files of many cases are in it. If there is any mistake, or if the clues of the case are replaced or damaged by some powerful people who bribe the internal personnel of Dali Temple, it would be a huge mistake.
Therefore, by peeping through the moldy pancake tube, we can get a glimpse of the difficulties faced by the Dali Temple.
No wonder the arrogant Jian Wuliang would bow to Yan Siqing.
Li Yu was worried and anxious, so he walked out first to see what was going on. Yan Siqing was just curious, but she wasn't too enthusiastic. After all, the world was full of injustices of life and death, and unsolvable hatreds. How many times could she get involved?
Having just dealt with the dirty work of her own couple, she couldn't help but think of Zhao Zhao and Zhou.
She missed them.
The old friend I miss is far away across the mountains and seas, I can’t see him.
But the dead were not at peace and were brought to the front.
She herself found it ridiculous.
But his clothes were fluttering and there was the sound of slow and unhurried footsteps behind him.
There is also a faint smell.
One of them is the medicinal taste.
Her thoughts were slightly pulled back, and she unconsciously used the smell of the medicine to determine the severity of his injuries, as well as the details of the prescriptions prescribed for him by the royal doctors in the palace and the imperial hospital. After thinking it over in her mind, she felt relieved, but she later realized that there were other smells in the smell of the medicine.
It was brought by clothes.
The law of the royal palace states that the clothes prepared for the host’s family must not only be clean and decent or luxurious enough to cope with different occasions, but also have a collection of specially made elegant fragrances.
This kind of fragrance is usually very light, but it suits the owner's taste and preferences.
Although Yan Siqing's family was not high, he was very rich and in charge of the maritime transportation of spices. She was served all year round and also had a favorite smell.
This is common.
She lowered her eyes, stepped over the threshold, and saw Li Yu's face full of surprise, but he was talking seriously to a girl of about fifteen or sixteen.
In fact, she said that the girl couldn't speak and could only gesture. Li Yu understood sign language and occasionally gestured a few times, but after all, he couldn't understand it all, so communication was a bit difficult.
Yan Siqing was about to leave when he took a look and saw the girl babbling anxiously. Li Yu was also troubled. "Are you going to report a crime? Is there something wrong with someone in your family? What is... drawing a circle? Huh?"
"Her sister had been missing for several days and was found tragically dead in a dry well the day before yesterday. The government reported the case and it was ruled suicide. She didn't believe it and was unwilling to accept it, so she came to the Dali Temple to report the case."
The voice comes from Yan Siqing.
Li Yu turned around and asked happily, "Miss Yan, do you know sign language?"
Yan Siqing nodded, she was just helping out, and turned sideways. Jiang Hui, who was behind her, was in a very good mood, with gentle eyes and brows. He just raised his hand to signal Ruozhao and the others to prepare the carriage to escort the people back.
go home.
Anyway, it's back to their home.
It doesn’t matter if she’s “sister”, as long as she can go home.
Jiang Hui even felt that he was smart enough. No matter if he was the Crown Prince, or any of his official positions, or her suitors, or the suitors she rejected, none of these identities could enjoy the treatment of living under the same roof with her.
The perspective opened up, and he suddenly felt that the convenience brought by the identity of "sister" as an old friend made him feel as if he was inseparable from her during his previous journey.
They had the same interests and the same route home. He could ride his horse and follow her carriage, and then guess whether she was sleepy or lazy inside, reading a book, or squinting her eyes and resting like a cat.
That's good.
It doesn't have to have an ending.
Maybe she can accept the current situation...
Jiang Hui felt that he had let things go, and his behavior was graceful, calm and natural.
Yan Siqing was a little surprised by his change and hadn't reacted yet.
The girl didn't know whether she was sharp-eyed or smart enough, but after hesitating for a moment, she made up her mind and walked past Li Yu and the other Dali Temple disciples, and took the initiative to approach Yan Siqing, eagerly using sign language to describe.
Yan Siqing saw it. She was always tolerant towards women, let alone such a little girl in such a difficult situation. She also smelled the alcohol on the other person. She looked down and saw the water stains on her cuffs.
She seemed to be thinking about something and didn't leave. She raised her hand to signal Ruozhao and Xiaoyun who were trying to stop them.
"Don't be impatient, take your time."
The girl was originally anxious and came here with the intention of paying a price.
She is not stupid and can tell who has a powerful status and who can really help her.
Just now, all the people from the Dali Temple saluted them.
This is her only chance.
Normally, she would never see such a fairy-like person in her life.
So she made a gesture, and when Yan Siqing had a strange expression on his face, he bowed and saluted her and Jiang Hui in turn.
Yan Siqing was quiet, and Jiang Hui also stopped moving all of a sudden.
Mumu looked at the girl's abrupt expression.
Others were puzzled.
Li Yu is a bit lively and carefree. She can understand why the girl would look for Yan Siqing. Just like their Shaoqing, he is smart and decisive. This choice is right.
Even the Dali Temple couldn't really ignore it, so she still came forward out of accusation and curiosity.
"What did you mean just now, Miss Yan, His Royal Highness? I only know a little bit of sign language. Is she talking about the inside story of the case? Isn't it suicide?"
Jiang Hui didn't say anything and quickly glanced at the person in front of him. Yan Siqing wanted to say something but stopped himself. When he found out that the person didn't say anything, he suddenly realized: this person also understands sign language.
So, he knew what the little girl had misunderstood and what she had called them.
She bit her lower lip, leaving a bright red mark, and gently explained to the girl, "You misunderstood. This young man and I are just brother and sister, not husband and wife."
She is frank and doesn't want to leave any room for gossip.
Jiang Hui tightened his lips, pinched his palms, and repeatedly told himself in his mind, "It's okay, I've already thought it through, there's nothing unacceptable, at least she doesn't reject you as an outsider!", so he followed up with the explanation.
"Although we are not blood relatives, we are like a family and have a good relationship. I also respect this sister very much, so you are not admitting your mistake."
"We're not angry, you don't need to be nervous."
Of course you are not angry, Your Highness, you are so happy that your wounds are about to burst open!
Ruo Zhao and the others couldn't bear to watch, but they also suppressed their smiles.
Yan Siqing couldn't find any fault with Jiang Hui's statement, so there was nothing she could do. However, the girl's nervousness was soothed, and she gestured to talk about other things.
Of course it’s her sister’s business.
She was determined that her sister would not commit suicide.
was murdered.
But she was just a little girl and disabled, so the government wouldn't give her any serious explanation about the clues in the case. So what she could provide was limited. Not to mention asking the Dali Temple for help, I'm afraid the Dali Temple would not even accept it. If she met someone with a bad temper, they would just scold her for making trouble.
Yan Siqing doesn't take care of everything. After all, her real authority to handle the case is still related to the Snowman Valley case. She has no judicial authority over other cases.
At this moment, several men from the crowd outside came in, looking ferocious and shouting, trying to drag the girl away, saying that she was disabled, mentally ill, and that her words were unreliable... The gray-faced, skinny man in the lead was even more ferocious. He only knew how to restrain himself when facing the Dali Temple officials and Jiang Hui and the others. With lowered eyebrows and drooping eyes, he said that the case had been decided and that the girl valued her sister too much and could not accept the result...
As he spoke, he ordered his several strong cousins who looked like him to pull the girl away.
Following Jiang Hui's eye signal, Ruozhao stepped forward with the knife in hand.
These people were frightened.
Yan Siqing moved his fingers, pulled the girl's sleeve, tidied up the messy cloth, and wiped the wine stains on it with the handkerchief tucked between his fingertips.
She looked at Li Yu and others.
Without saying anything, Li Yu and the others immediately ordered these people to retreat.
Don't let these people take the girl away.
After all, these people were afraid and had no choice but to retreat, but they looked back every few steps, hid in the crowd, and watched from nearby.
Yan Siqing retracted his gaze and smiled at Li Yu, who was curious about whether there was really a problem with this case, as a thank you for the help. Then he hooked his fingers on the girl's clothes and said, "Your clothes are nice, and you are calm and intelligent, which shows that you are capable of supporting yourself. You must be the owner of a small wine shop. To be able to support your family business like this, you are definitely not someone who would take the risk of reporting a false case because you can't accept the result at the moment. Moreover, the wine dregs on your sleeves are still fresh, and there are cuffs on your sleeves, which means that you have already calmed down and accepted the result not long ago and have started to deal with the winemaking business in the store. Is it because you got some effective clues that prove your sister didn't commit suicide that you had no choice but to come to the Dali Temple for help?"
"Then this is not the place to have this conversation."
Then go back inside?
No, after Li Yu saw Yan Siqing glance at those men and learned that the skinny man among them was the girl's brother-in-law, she reacted.
"They'll probably bury the body right away when they get back."
"If there really is a problem, then we have to check it out now."
"Are we leaving right away?"
"That....."
She looked at Yan Siqing, eager to try.
Oh, is it my turn to work on a case with her?
——————
The carriage passed the main road in the city and headed towards the southeast alley where ordinary people lived.
The hustle and bustle here is more down-to-earth, and it's all ordinary people. In order to avoid disturbing their hustle and bustle and causing unnecessary trouble, they walk along the Fourth Ring Road under the city wall.
The wheels of the carriage started turning, and Jiang Hui immediately explained his behavior.
"I'm not seriously injured. It's okay to go out for a walk."
"As for being attacked, if someone dares to assassinate me in Chang'an City, then even if the Emperor is partial, he won't be able to sit still."
The implication is that those people don't dare.
This is why he got involved in this case.
But that wasn't enough, he had to explain, "This girl looks very hard-working and rare. I also smell alcohol on her. It must be 'Tangqianchun', which is quite famous. I drink it often."
“So, it’s normal for me to be involved.”
Very detailed explanation.
Inside the carriage, the curtain was opened, and Xiaoyun, Yan Siqing and the other two were sitting inside. Yan Siqing put his finger on his forehead.
The girl was taken by Li Yu and rode to their village first.
Otherwise it’s too slow.
There was no one else around, Yan Siqing was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, I didn't ask that."
She didn't say no, and she didn't suspect he was crossing the line.
He was so cautious, which made her feel very embarrassed.
Jiang Hui said with a wry smile, "No, I just want to be a gentleman."
Yan Siqing paused and wanted to lower the curtain.
At this moment, Ruoqin, who was riding a horse, asked curiously, "Your Highness, why did this little girl Chen Xu mistake you for your wife?"
This is a really good question. You just killed the conversation again.
Xiaoyun wanted to stab Ruoqin to death.
Jiang Hui actually wanted to say: What else could it be? Is this the first time? It's been several times. It can only be because we are a perfect match. Everyone in heaven and on earth agrees that we should be together.
only.....
"I don't know either. I'm curious too."
"What do you think, sister?"
Yan Siqing originally didn't want to pay attention to this topic, but Jiang Hui was so fickle that he would let his little thoughts defeat his calmness at any time, and he had to bring it to her.
Moreover, it seemed that he became more active because of Shen Zangyu's matter.
It was as if with the identity of "sister", he could legitimately live under the same roof with her, and then, based on this defined identity, he could be reasonably close to her.
He even changed the way he referred to himself to "I" and called her "you" and "sister".
These are very common family names.
If she refused, it would seem that she had something to hide.
After all, he really didn't overstep his bounds. He was polite, enthusiastic, and knew when to act.
What can she do?
Yan Siqing: "Maybe it's because I look like I'm married."
"Look, Your Highness, it seems like you should get married early."
These two sentences are very meaningful.
Jiang Hui was speechless for a moment, feeling depressed, and hunched his head forward.
He was always defeated by her.
When he left, Yan Siqing glanced at the man's clothes, turned away, his jaw tensed, and his fingers unconsciously touched his own clothes.
Chen Xu is so young and can make wine, and his wine is very famous. He has his own business, so his sense of taste and smell must be extremely talented.
She smelled something.
Yes, she and Jiang Hui have the same scent.
Originally, the scent of Jiang Hui's clothes was not like this, but he changed it later.
Changed it to hers.
In the general world, some loving couples are like this, because they have been together for a long time, have the same things, are influenced by each other, and are so close to each other that they are like one.
Yan Siqing didn't want to think about it, but she was too perceptive to know clearly that Jiang Hui had crossed the line of intimacy with her that night at the White Horse Temple and had sent her away.
Changed the fragrance.
From then on, I was no different from her.
That's it, and he's still a gentleman.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: The main cases investigated are all small units, and the main line of power struggle will not be written in detail. It is too detailed, and my level cannot handle it, and it will easily end badly. So I will let the main body of this book gradually become fuller from the cases of small matters related to people's livelihood.
