Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 5 Finding Evidence
Luo Ning assigned the task of verifying the confession to the directors of Dali Temple, and after lunch, he went to the Zhenguo Palace.

There is a key point in the case, which is whose words are true!Who does she trust?She doesn't believe anyone.

Is it because of this that she took the position of Minister of Dali Temple?Luo Ning thought to himself and shook his head!

It was my own request to come to Dali Temple!After the imperial examination, I got the top prize. When I met the emperor, I had several positions to choose from. I chose Dali Temple without even thinking about it!
After the former Minister of Dali Temple retired and returned to his hometown, the position of Minister of Dali Temple has been vacant, and no one wants to come. Also, there is no money in Qingshui Yamen, and he spends his days solving cases and burning his brains.

Luo Ning smiled bitterly, why did he come to Dali Temple?She can't explain clearly, maybe she likes to see the essence through phenomena, she is addicted to this process of cocoon and silk peeling!

As I thought about it all the way, the Zhenguogong Palace was just in front of me on the street corner.
She and Wei Chen are good friends, so she should trust him completely, but she can't explain the reason. Reason tells her not to trust him completely!

When the guard boy saw Luo Ning coming, he hurriedly went into the house and called the Duke's wife. When Wei Guogong heard that Luo Ning was coming, he must have come over for a case, so he hurried over too!
After welcoming Luo Ning into the living room, Wei Guogong showed a sad look on his face: "Luo Ning, please solve the case quickly. At my age, I stay in the house all day, and I am very depressed!"

Luo Ning smiled: "Uncle, normal social interactions won't affect anything, so why do you care what others say?"

"How can you not mind? They say that my son is half-hearted and wants to marry the princess, so he does these things on purpose!"

Wei Guogong was at a loss after saying this: "My own son, I know that even if Wei Chen is beaten to death, he will not do such immoral things. Besides, he has a very good relationship with Xu An, how could he do such a thing?"

Luo Ning heard what he said and changed the subject: "Wei Chen said that he did not hold the red coral bracelet, but the bracelet did appear in Wei Chen's study. How can uncle explain it?"

Wei Guogong was stunned by Luo Ning's question and shook his head: "Who knows, you said it was so strange, why did you come here by yourself? Luo Ning, you are so smart, you must have a way to clear Wei Chen's suspicion!"

Luo Ning was afraid that someone who trusted him blindly would not be able to provide clues, but would instead exert pressure.

He could only be patient and asked: "Before and after Wei Chen's accident, was there anything unusual happening in the mansion? Who can come in and out of Wei Chen's study at will?"

"Who can come in and out at will? There are not many people. The cleaning maids, Wei Chen's servants, colleagues who are looking for Wei Chen or his friends, and people who are familiar with each other can enter!"

"Are there any records of outsiders coming in and out during those days?"

"Wei Chen came back just now. The whole family has asked about it. We didn't find anything special. However, the greetings will be recorded in the concierge to avoid being rude! I'd better show it to you. Luo Ning, wait for me!"

Duke Guo of Wei turned around and went out, when a maid came in with tea: "Sir, please drink tea!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to pour the water from the teapot into the tea cup, and a fragrance of Longjing came to his nostrils!

Luo Ning nodded in thanks, but the maid stood beside him and hesitated to speak.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Luo Ning asked.

The maid nodded and looked around: "On the day when the master's accident happened, Master Song from the family of the Minister of Industry came to the study!" After saying that, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Luo Ning!

"Oh?" Luo Ning was a little surprised.

Just as he was about to ask more questions, Wei Guogong walked in with the records, but the maid didn't want to say more, so she quickly excused herself and went out with tea!
Duke Wei called out: "Xiao Lian, go to the kitchen to get some snacks for Miss Luo!"

Luo Ning wanted to stop him. Well, given the friendship between Wei Guogong and his father, and the fact that he had watched him grow up since childhood, Luo Ning no longer shied away.

Looking at Xiaolian walking away with light steps, although she is a maid, she is also a young girl in her youth. She has a kind of vitality and beauty. How wonderful!
Luo Ning came back to his senses, turned to the day of the Spring Equinox, and carefully looked for Mr. Song. Sure enough, he was there, but when he turned to the time of entering and exiting the house, Luo Ning narrowed his eyes.

Entering the mansion at the first quarter of the morning, leaving the mansion at the second quarter of the morning.

Luo Ning thought about it: "Uncle, is the doorman here? I want to ask a few questions!"

The doorman heard the call and came over soon. He was a boy of eleven or twelve years old. He was trembling when he saw Luo Ning.

"Are you the doorman?"

"Yes, my lord!"

Luo Ning smiled bitterly, this child is too nervous!
"You don't have to be afraid, just answer whatever comes to mind!"

The boy nodded, but his expression showed no relief.

Luo Ning had no choice but to ask: "Are you sure you can remember exactly when people come and leave every day?"

The boy said without thinking: "Everyone I know can remember it in a short time. Because I am smart, the master let me be in the concierge! Because sometimes the master is not in the house, and I still need to send messages! So I can remember most things!"

"This is best. Do you still remember Mr. Song who came on the vernal equinox?"

"Remember, Young Master Song came to see the Young Master. I told him that it would take several days for the Young Master to come back from Chuzhou, but he still insisted on waiting in the concierge, sat there for a while and then left!"

Luo Ning asked again: "He just stayed in the concierge? Didn't he enter the mansion?"

The boy replied affirmatively: "Sure, because I'm very curious. He knew that the young master was not here, but he didn't leave. He didn't seem to have anything to do, he just sat there!"

The boy thought about it: "Actually, two people came to look for the young master that day, and it was the same situation. I was also very surprised!"

"Oh? There are two more?"

The boy stood up and pointed at the roster: "These are the two!"

Luo Ning didn't know these two people, including Mr. Song, but Luo Ning was familiar with all three names. They all attended the Spring Banquet at the Princess Mansion on the Spring Equinox!On the file this morning, the names of three people are clearly visible!
Luo Ning snorted coldly in his heart: This seemingly simple case is really interesting!
After leaving Wei Mansion and returning to Dali Temple, Luo Ning thought about it all the way. There were still two links that needed to be verified. This case should be considered solved!Luo Ning wanted to laugh when he thought that Song Zhuer would definitely look at him with admiration after hearing this!

Song Zhuer, so cute!

Just as the case was being sorted out, Xu An rushed out: "My lord, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed!"

Although Luo Ning was shocked, she was still very happy to see Xu An!

"How is the case? The relationship between the Shangshu Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion is so bad now!" Xu An looked helpless.

"How are you and Wei Chen doing?"

"Very good, good, very good, very good. Why do you ask? What did you find?" Xu An's eyes widened and he stared at Luo Ning, expecting to see something in Luo Ning's eyes!
"No big discovery. There are two pieces of evidence that I need to verify again!"

"Tell me, just reveal a little bit, just a little bit!" Xu An begged.

"There's no point in begging, you know I do business, and you are no exception!
"Tch~" Xu An dismissed it!
He also followed Luo Ning into Dali Temple:
"Let's talk about it first. It's okay to drink tea. If it involves a case, avoid it!"

"Hmph, I'm not going in yet. I'll go to your house tonight!" After saying that, Xu An ran away with a wisp of smoke!

Luo Ning entered the room, and Song Zhuer quickly took out the confession that Li Sizhi had found.

Luo Ning's glance was as expected.

When the Dali Temple ministers came back one after another, everyone took out the confessions they had found.

"Sir, in your opinion, this case is..."
