Full-level real daughter: first-class female forensic doctor

Chapter 29 Can Eat
Cheng Yu'an said, "My son doesn't know either. I'll go to Dali Temple tomorrow to ask about the progress of the case."

Cheng Pu nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Go to rest early and find a body collector. There is no need for an autopsy at Dali Temple, so just ask someone to take the servant girl directly outside the city for burial."

"Yes," Cheng Yuan bowed and retreated.

Cheng Yu'an frowned unconsciously when he thought of his father personally intervening with Yao'er this afternoon.

There were so many things going on today, and no one would have reminded her that her father would not think of Yao'er falling into the water. It seems that someone in this house doesn't want to keep this adopted sister.

Cheng Yuan returned to his own yard, and the young servant he sent to inquire came back as soon as possible and whispered: "Young master, before I sent you over to talk, I only went to the second lady's place."

Cheng Yu'an also guessed that it was her who reminded her, and when she heard the exact reply, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

The sister who was supposed to be happy and carefree is now so violent.

Ning Cui, you really deserve to die.

Ning Cui, who was remembered by several people, was wandering on the street with nowhere to go. Passing by the door of a house, the door suddenly opened, and a hand stretched out to pull the person in.

There was a short scream in the dark alley with only a few lights streaming out of the windows, and then the only sound left was the chirping of summer insects.

In the Ruiminghou Mansion, the study room was brightly lit. Chu Wei's long hair was half-lengthened, fixed with a jade hairpin on the back of his head. He was wearing a long, snow-colored robe. He was sitting in front of a large bookcase and looking at the books placed on it. Four dossiers.

One part belongs to Chenzhou Prefecture officials over the years, and the remaining three parts belong to the deceased who had their tongues pulled out and confessed in recent days.

Unexpectedly, he thought of the girl sitting on the swing, smiling and talking to him. Chu Wei closed his eyes, and the words on the file became clear again.

But the girl's voice sounded in my ears again, "I heard that Grandma Sun's wine shop makes very good wine and snowflake cakes."

He raised his hand and pressed the center of his brow.

Zhang Ku came in with two pieces of paper at this time. Seeing his father leaning on the back of the chair, he asked carelessly: "Master, are you tired? Why don't you rest first? You just checked Jiangnan Salt After bringing the case back, why not hand this case in the capital to Mr. Sui?"

Chu Wei sat down and said, "It's not bad. If I don't investigate the case for a day, I'll be busy. How is the thing I asked you to ask about?"

"The time is too short, I only asked about Dongcheng and Nancheng." Zhang Ku put the two pieces of paper in his hand, "These are all shops famous for their plum blossoms, including the Yinlou dim sum shop and the fragrant powder shop. But they are all There is no guest who has said that he particularly loves plum blossoms. As for the craftsmen who make plum blossom hairpins, plum blossom cakes, and plum blossom fragrant cakes, my subordinates also brought them."

Chu Wei took the paper, looked at it, and said, "Call someone in, and I'll ask."

Just as he was talking, Hu Ping and Piaofeng, who were responsible for questioning the troupe, also came.

The theater troupe hired by the Cheng family is a well-known theater troupe in the outer city, the Wei Qing Theater Troupe.

This Wei Qing was a candidate from Hui Province who came to Beijing to take the exam. After repeatedly failing in the exam, he formed a theater troupe in the capital. He personally wrote the scripts and sometimes participated in the adjustment of the singing. His novel scripts and singing methods soon became popular Let Wei Qing Opera Troupe become famous in the capital.

Hu Ping knew that his father did not like to listen to operas, so he first introduced the general situation and then said: "There is nothing suspicious about those opera singers. However, my subordinates heard a few gossips and felt that they might be suspicious."

Chu Wei hummed while looking at the list he copied from Wei Qing's troupe.

Hu Ping then continued: "There is a lady in their troupe who is very good at dressing up. It is said that she can dress up a pretty girl as a martial artist without breaking the rules. When we left, there were also other female ancestors nearby. Go and ask her to dress her up tomorrow morning.”

The place where Wei Qing's opera troupe lives is an alley where various opera troupes, ye opera troupes, female ancestors, and storytellers live together.

Those are the people who come in and out.

Chu Wei suddenly thought of something. He opened the testimonies of Quan Yizhong's family and quickly found one. He asked: "On that day, Quan Yizhong's family invited his daughter-in-law into the house. Did Mrs. Quan say that it was too late to give the lecture?" , let them stay?"

The three of them nodded quickly and Piao Feng said: "Those two ladies were interrogated by me. There is nothing suspicious about them, so my subordinates did not allow them to be recorded."

Chu Wei nodded: "Do you still remember where they live?"

"It's the Neem Tree Lane where the actors live together," Piaofeng raised his head and said.

Chu Wei also frowned. The only connection between these two people, except Neem Shuxiang, was the female master who knew how to dress up.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Hu Ping, Piaofeng, before this case is solved, you go to Lianshu Lane and focus on monitoring the dressed-up lady in Wei Qing's troupe."

After assigning tasks to several people, Chu Wei took a few files and started to read them.

Looking at it, I saw most of the night.

Also found a valuable clue.

Twelve years ago, Chenzhou Prefecture and several nearby state capitals suffered from a severe drought. On the day when the local warehouses were leveled and the warehouses were opened for disaster relief under the imperial decree, a major case occurred that shocked the entire court.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs noted that the Pingquan warehouse containing 30 shi of relief grain was actually empty, not even a grain of rice.

He was only eight years old at that time, and had just been studying martial arts with his master for a year. He was not in the capital, and he only heard a few things. The main culprit was a colleague of Chenzhou Prefecture. warehouse.

The evidence is that the Yue family, who was also acquainted with a large grain merchant, did indeed steal tens of thousands of stones of grain from that family.

The imperial court also allocated relief food from other places, so that the severe drought that year could be overcome without any danger.

My grandfather was furious. Except for the acquaintance who was the principal culprit, all the officials in the Chenzhou government at that time were relegated.

Chu Wei clicked on the name of the official who served as a magistrate in Chenzhou Prefecture from the third year of Fengkang to the ninth year of Fengkang on the case file of Chenzhou Prefecture.

Cao Zhiyi, whose ancestral home is Zhangnan County, Puding Prefecture, was a Jinshi in the first year of Fengkang. He first served as magistrate of a county under Chenzhou Prefecture, and later was promoted to Tongzhi due to his outstanding political achievements.

Twelve years ago, the entire Cao family was executed due to a case of missing disaster relief food.

Chu Wei didn't pay much attention to this matter at that time, and he could only remember so much. He didn't want to sleep anymore at the moment. He changed his clothes, called Xiao Shan who was on duty tonight, and left the house for Dali Temple.

For example, in the case of the loss of relief food 12 years ago, both the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple have filing files.

Horse hooves trampled across the bluestone road in the inner city, making a crisp sound. Along with the cool summer breeze in the early morning, the aroma of fried pancakes came.

Chu Wei looked toward the outer city and said, "Is there someone preparing to open the morning market at this time?"

Xiao Shan hurriedly replied: "Sir, it's Yinshi now, and some food is more troublesome. It's really time to start eating."

"When does Granny Sun's wine store in Nancheng usually open?" Chu Wei asked casually.

"Sir, do you still know about Grandma Sun's wine shop?" Xiao Shan was surprised, and then hurriedly said: "Their shop is open from midnight until the next morning when it closes. If you want to eat, we have checked the files and gone there Just right. Grandma Sun’s snowflake cakes with wine are one of the best in Nancheng.”

Chu Wei couldn't help but curl his lips slightly and said, "I do know how to eat."

Xiaoshan didn't know when he caught up and walked alongside his father. He chuckled and asked, "Master, are you talking about me? Or are you the one who told you about Grandma Sun's wine?"

Chu Wei glanced over indifferently, and his clear and stressful eyes made Xiao Shan shrink back quickly.
