Chapter 127 The Smell of Gunpowder

Chapter 127 The smell of gunpowder (second update)
"What! He Wenxin murdered, Uncle Ji is the witness! Has it been verified?"

Yu Wang turned pale with shock, the He family only had He Wenxin as an only seedling, so maybe something would happen.

"It's been checked, Mr. Ye was there at the time." Qin Banruo told the truth, and didn't swallow up Ye Cao's share of credit, only biting off half of it.

"Help, Your Highness, Your Highness!" Soon, He Jingzhong came to Prince Yu's Mansion, and even brought a panicked He Wenxin with him.

"Your Highness, there is no way for me to teach my son, but Wenxin is the single heir of three generations of my He family. Please help, Your Highness." He Jingzhong took his son and kowtowed to King Yu repeatedly, weeping.

"He Jingzhong, what do you want to do!" Seeing He Wenxin, King Yu was furious, and shouted, "You brought a murderer to my house, are you trying to implicate me?"

He Jingzhong really lost his sense of propriety. King Yu would not easily abandon him, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but it did not mean that he would blatantly protect a murderer.

"Your Highness, I can't help it either. The Jingzhao Mansion has come to arrest someone, Your Highness." He Jingzhong cried.

"Did they see you?" King Yu's heart tightened.

"No, no, absolutely not." He Jingzhong shook his head crazily. Even if he was seen at this time, he could only say that he didn't see it. Get rid of your relationship.

"Your child is too ignorant. Is that a commoner? That's the son of the Earl's Mansion. Under the eyes of everyone, the case is clear and there are all witnesses and evidences. How do you ask me to protect him?" Yu Wang said helplessly.

"Your Highness, we can make people not to confess, isn't it always like this before?" He Jingzhong asked anxiously.

What he said is also true, before the son of an official killed someone, whether he threatened or bought him, as long as there is no witness, the case cannot be closed, and the lawsuit will be over.

"Why, you still want to kill Prince Ji!" King Yu reported someone.

"Ah!" He Jingzhong was struck by lightning, and He Wenxin even peed on his pants.

"dong dong dong"

He Jingzhong kowtowed repeatedly to King Yu and said, "Your Highness, the old minister is loyal to you, Your Highness, Your Highness."

"You can have another one, someone to see you off." King Yu ordered Ye Xiao to forcibly send the father and son of the He family outside the mansion.

What can King Yu do, the dead son of the Earl's Mansion, and Uncle Ji as witnesses, is he going to offend his own Uncle Wang for the son of a mere courtier?

No matter how it is calculated, it is an uneconomical business.

Just as helpless as King Yu, there is also Yin Gaosheng of Jingzhao Mansion, who just got rid of a case of hiding corpses in a dry well in Lanyuan, and this time there is a murder case in a brothel.

Every case is a homicide case, and all of them involve Zheng Erpin Liubu Shangshu.

He is a small official of the "fourth rank" in Yincai district of Jingzhao Prefecture. Isn't this putting him on the fire?

In the middle of the night, he was woken up by the grievance drum, so he couldn't sleep without talking, and he had to go to the official minister's house overnight to get someone.

The arrester of the mansion of the second-rank official did not dare to break through the door, so he could only yell outside the mansion: "Today, I will check the son of He's mansion, He Wenxin Yangliuxin's brothel has killed people, and I will wait for the Jingzhao mansion to be ordered to arrest him. Please also ask your mansion!" Hand over."

Listen to this politeness, it doesn't look like picking someone, it's clearly that Party B is negotiating with Party A.

Hearing the shout, He Jingzhong hurriedly brought his son to Prince Yu's mansion to seek shelter, but he didn't want Prince Yu to drive him out.

"Slap!" He Jingzhong slapped He Wenxin hard on the face, and slapped He Wenxin, whose legs were already weak, to the ground.

Facing the child, the old father was out of breath, heartbroken, and trembling all over.

"Father, save me, save me, father." He Wenxin burst into tears and stretched out his hand to He Jingzhong.

"Go, let's go now, leave the capital." He Jingzhong took out a large stack of banknotes from his sleeve, threw it to He Wenxin, and then told his relatives: "Send the young master out of the city, the farther the better."

"Yes."

He Wenxin was sent to the carriage by Qiang Xin, and wanted to run out of the city in the dark night.

Just kidding, since Mei Changsu has set up a plan, how could he not send someone to watch him.

The carriage didn't go far before it was robbed by Jiang Zuomeng's people, knocked out He Wenxin, and delivered it directly to Jing Zhaoyin's residence.

"He Wenxin, it's He Wenxin."

The police officer immediately captured He Wenxin, and since then this dude has been imprisoned, with no possibility of survival.

"Ah, my son." He Jingzhong fell on his back when he heard that his son was arrested, and he has never recovered from his illness.

Compared with the tragic situation of the He family, Ye Zhai is very comfortable.

Although it was still some time before Chinese New Year, the mansion already had some festive atmosphere, and Su Zhai was given a pair of couplets, and his own couplets had to be written as soon as possible.

"Come, come, let go, let go." Mu Qing came to Ye Zhai, followed by a large group of people, carrying boxes of gift boxes.

"Mu Qing, what is this?" Ye Cao asked.

"It's all my sister's New Year's gifts from Yunnan." Mu Qing replied.

"Okay, okay, this girl really has a heart." Ye Cao Laohuai smiled comfortingly.

Nihuang was afraid that he would not get used to it for the first time in the capital, so he sent these New Year's goods here.

The girl is caring and thoughtful.

"You came here with such great fanfare, how will you explain it then?" Ye Cao thought of this question.

"What explanation is needed? Mr. Ye, the exiled immortal, my Lord Mu wants him to be his brother-in-law, so I come to get close to him. Isn't that obvious?" Mu Qing said.

During this period of time, he was hanging out in the dandy circle in Kyoto, and he made no secret of his admiration for Yecao. He and that leaf grass fan, 'Liao Tingjie', almost became brothers.

Speaking of this Liao Tingjie, during the period of staying in Yecao, he sent things to Ye's house a lot. In comparison, Mu Qing only came here once, which is very rare.

"You are becoming more and more clever. Come, go and see what your sister sent." Ye Cao put down her pen and went to the warehouse to see what New Year's goods Nihuang had sent.

There are Yunnan's characteristic costumes, hanging ornaments, new quilts, door god peach charms, sugar cane, statues, small objects of my life in the palace...the most is dried fruit, and the most dried lychee is the most dried fruit.

Yecao likes to eat lychees the most, whether it is fresh lychees or dried lychees, he likes to eat them.

"It's not easy to send it all the way. It's an official ship." Ye Cao opened a bag of lychees, and when she picked one up, she wanted to crush the shell to eat.

"Yeah, it's just me..." Mu Qing was about to say something, but Ye Cao said: "No, there is a problem."

"Toxic!" Mu Qing's first reaction was that it was poisonous, and he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and stepped back.

It has to be said that this response ability is really fast enough.

Ye Cao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, just smell it carefully."

Ye Cao handed over the dried lychee, and Mu Qing took it and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

"Gunpowder!" Mu Qing stared wide-eyed and crushed the litchi in his hand.

Gunpowder is so powerful that it is absolutely contraband.

Who brought the gunpowder into the official ship carrying the goods?
