The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Lord Wang is the oldest person in the institute, 20 years older than Chen Shi. Since Chen Shi is not here, Su He goes to Lord Wang to arrange for his employment.

After reading the envelope, Lord Wang didn't ask any questions and welcomed Su He to join with a smile.

"Hehua, Ah Shi said you are very capable, and the Dali Temple just happened to ask us to go and help, so you can come with me."

Su He was stunned. She never expected that she would have to work on the first day.

"Yes, my lord."

Su He followed Lord Wang out, and the two of them took a carriage to the Dali Temple. Liu Bai followed silently behind.

After Su He and Lord Wang left, the people in the yard started talking about something, and some even kept asking Shi Yong questions.

Why did they start recruiting women as embroidered robe officials? What is the background of this woman?

"I remembered!"

Xiao Wei said excitedly, "She is from Huaihe County. I have met her. I have even eaten the dried meat in her house."

Han Song let go of Shi Yong, hugged Xiao Wei and asked.

"What? You are so close? Then why did you just remember it now? Where is Huaihe?"

Xiao Wei scratched his head. "That was many years ago, and her appearance has changed a bit, so I didn't remember it right away. Huaihe County is over there in Jinyang City."

They knew that Jinyang City was the place with the most serious water shortage, and it was also the new border area.

The people in the yard stopped training and surrounded Xiao Wei, asking him to explain clearly.

Su He on this side followed Lord Wang into the dungeon in silence. She figured it out on the way. It was her first time handling a case, and Lord Wang probably wanted to see her ability.

Okay, she also wanted to see how the Embroidered Robe Officials handled cases.

Su He followed Lord Wang and stood by to watch the people from the Dali Temple try the prisoners.

Three days ago, a body was found in a private house in Tonglin Lane, South Street. The deceased was Jiang Fan, who died in his own house. The people from the Dali Temple found the three suspects after investigation, but none of them confessed after a day of interrogation.

The most suspicious ones are the two visiting guests, and the remaining one is Jiang Fan’s neighbor, who is also a major suspect.

Because the deceased was a juren who had come to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and he was very talented, everyone said that he could be among the top three and meet the emperor. There were also two juren suspects, so the emperor took it very seriously and ordered the case to be closed within seven days.

This is the third day since the criminal was caught.

"Jinsheng, tell me again what you did that day."

"Sir, I asked Brother Jiang to drink with me two days in advance. We agreed to meet at noon. Who knew that when I arrived, I found Brother Jiang arguing with his neighbor. I heard that it was because the neighbor made noise day and night, affecting Brother Jiang's study. That morning, he was woken up again. So he argued with the neighbor. Later, under my persuasion, Brother Jiang was pulled back home. We bought some food and talked while eating. When I left, Brother Jiang was already a little drunk. He told me that he wanted to sleep for a while, so I said goodbye."

Lord Wang looked at his neighbor, Boss Wang.

"Boss Wang, tell me, did you hold a grudge against Jiang Fan and therefore took advantage of him being drunk to kill him?"

Boss Wang's voice was hoarse, as if he had made excuses countless times.

"Sir, we didn't. Jiang Fan was too sensitive. My son was just playing around in the house during the day, but he couldn't stand it and came to quarrel with me. It had nothing to do with me. After we quarreled, our whole family went out to visit relatives. It wasn't until the next afternoon when we saw the officials coming that we knew Jiang Fan had passed away."

Lord Wang then looked at the scholar, Lu Wen'an, who discovered the deceased the next day.

"Lv Wen'an, why did you go to Jiang Fan's house that day?"

"Your Excellency, I made an appointment with Brother Jiang to discuss an article. I was late for an hour because of something, so I bought some delicious food to make amends. When I arrived, I knocked on the door but no one answered. I thought Brother Jiang was angry, so I wanted to go in and apologize. But no matter how loudly I shouted, no one answered me, so I started to feel strange. Even if Brother Jiang was asleep, he couldn't have slept so deeply. He always sleeps lightly, so it's impossible that he didn't hear anything. So my neighbor and I pushed open the door, and we found that Brother Jiang was dead in his bed."

After listening to this, Lord Wang turned to Su He and asked, "He Hua, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, three people not far away looked at Su He at the same time. Su He noticed that all three of them had obvious doubts and surprises.

Su He did not jump to conclusions easily, "Sir, I want to see the deceased."

Lord Wang waved his hand and asked Su He to go next door.

"It's right next to it. The coroner is waiting too."

Su He nodded, asked for a piece of cotton cloth to cover her nose and mouth, and left.

A quarter of an hour later, Su He came back.

"My Lord, I want to ask them a few questions."

"Boss Wang, after you had a fight with Jiang Fan, did you really not hear anything?"

Old Man Wang nodded and replied in confirmation, "Yes, I didn't hear it."

"That's not right. Jinsheng had just arrived at that time. They were drinking and talking at the same time. Even if they were talking quietly, there would have been noise. How come you didn't hear anything at all?"

Old man Wang was stunned and started to explain, "Well, my son was frightened by Jiang Fan at the time, and I was comforting him in the side room, so I might not have noticed it. There might have been some noise at the beginning, but it really stopped afterwards."

Su He did not ask any more questions and asked about Lu Wen'an again.

"Why were you late that day?"

Lv Wen'an has obviously answered this question countless times, "I went out early and my clothes got soiled by passers-by, so I went home to change into new clothes. But my mother happened to be looking for me for something, so I was delayed."

"Which passerby, on which street, in which place, who else saw it and can testify for you?"

"This is the street on the south side. I wanted to bring some food to Brother Jiang, so I deliberately went that way."

"Oh, it seems Jiang Fan is quite good at enjoying himself. Every day, someone is willing to bring him food. What did you buy for him? Is there any roast chicken?"

Lu Wen'an was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a while until Su He asked the second time.

"Oh, here, I bought braised pork and two pots of wine."

"Oh, which restaurant did you buy it from?"

"Flavor House."

"Is this braised pork restaurant famous? Or do you both like it?"

"This, I just suddenly wanted to eat it that day, and I thought that Brother Jiang's taste is similar to mine, so I bought it specially."

"Oh, so the braised pork was nothing special. You just wanted to buy it from this store, so you went there specially to buy it, and your clothes got dirty, which delayed you for two hours."

Su He concluded calmly, then looked towards Jin Sheng.

"How about you? You're not late?"

"No, I arrived on time."

Su He turned to look at Lord Hong who had been silent.

"Sir, have you found the person who soiled Lu Wen'an's clothes?"

Lord Hong shook his head regretfully, "No, it was too late when we looked for it, we didn't find it, and there were no witnesses."

Su He nodded in understanding and looked at the three people back and forth, making the three people opposite him feel very uncomfortable.

"What was the reason why the three of you conspired to murder Jiang Fan?"
