Chapter 751

64th dragon scale (9)

It's not the first time Linglong has met such a thing as eating a houseless family. There are many heartless people in this world. It's not surprising what they do. The backbone of the family is gone, leaving orphans and widows, which will attract those greedy people. Linglong had handled such a case before. It was a merchant under the rule of Jingzhao house. The merchant died unexpectedly, leaving his wife and children helpless. His brother came into the house, not only occupied his property, but also forced his widow to remarry. The woman was hanged at home with a rope, It was a seven year old child who fled from his uncle's house to Jingzhao house with tears.

The emperor hated such a thing. He pushed himself to others. Now he has no children. If one day he dies and someone covets his country, he's afraid he can climb out of the ground and kill people!

Therefore, for Miss Gan's relatives, Linglong directly took a team of captors to catch what should be caught and fight. The food was clean. The women they brought were driven out of Gan's house by Linglong. Several men dared to scold and became old after a meal.

Then Linglong asked Miss Gan to list the damaged and robbed properties at home one by one, and threw people into prison for a few years. When Miss Gan sent him out of the house, she thanked him again and again and looked at Linglong's eyes.

She had only heard of Lord Liu's reputation before. Today was the first time she saw him make such a decisive decision. It was really outstanding and desirable.

Although he was not very considerate to her, he also spoke softly. He seemed to be afraid of scaring himself if he spoke louder. Miss Gan's jade cheeks were raw. She felt that Lord Liu was not as terrible as the rumor, but very amiable.

But now the most important thing is to take good care of her grandmother. Her father has died. She can no longer be the naive young lady. Her grandmother is her only relative and she can't lose her.

As for the girl's mind, it can only be hidden in her heart, and then quietly aftertaste in the dead of night.

After Linglong has handled Gan's house, she goes straight to the criminal department to find Lord Hong and wants to read the file about Mu Mingtao's case. At that time, when he was writing orders and history in the Ministry of punishment, he was responsible for handling old cases, such as Mu Mingtao's treason. The Ministry of punishment usually had another case clan. Therefore, the name Mu Mingtao was mentioned by Lord Cui, and Linglong learned it for the first time.

The emperor ordered Linglong to be the presiding judge and the imperial censor of Dali Temple of the Ministry of punishment to assist. Lord Hong gave him permission without saying a word and accompanied Linglong to reread the file of Mu Mingtao's case.

Looking at the file, Linglong said, "it was Lord Zhu Wen who denounced Mu Mingtao?"

Lord Hong nodded: "that's right. Zhu Wen's talent is not obvious. It is because of this case that the emperor promoted him to the Minister of punishment."

The files of that year were kept in good condition. Judging from the files, Mu Mingtao's collusion with the enemy, treason and harbouring Qin criminals was a fact that both human and material evidence were complete, which was basically a firm fact. Therefore, the emperor was furious. Looking only at the files and material evidence, he really couldn't find anything wrong.

But the informant is Zhu Wen, which makes the old case complicated and confusing.

Who is Zhu Wen?

Mu Mingtao is a respected scholar. Countless people admire and admire him. Zhu Wen found evidence of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Is it strange? If Zhu Wen had this ability, could he stay in the criminal department for nearly 20 years? Before that, he was just a small member of the staff. He didn't get promoted for many years. He turned around with Mu Mingtao's big case!

In this case, Zhu Wen undoubtedly made the first contribution, and there were no mistakes except that, as if Mu Mingtao was indeed a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and harboured Qin's heart of disobedience.

"What's wrong with Lord Liu?" Asked Lord Hong.

"What is mu Mingtao's intention to cooperate with the enemy?" Linglong doesn't understand this. "There are always things that people can't give up. Some people are so famous and rich. Mu Mingtao's reputation and status have reached the peak. There's no need to do so. And this harbouring Qin Lun prisoner... To put it bluntly, who is the Qin prisoner? How? After the case is closed, where is the so-called Qin prisoner? If the letters of collusion with the enemy can be used as material evidence, what about the crime of harboring Qin criminals? "

Lord Hong was silent for a moment before he said: "... Didn't the emperor tell you this?"

Linglong shook her head: "what do you say to me?"

The two are in the imperial clan, there is no one around, and they forget their years of friendship. Some court secretaries, Lord Xin Hong, dare to tell Linglong: "do you know where this Dragon Robe comes from today?"

Linglong nodded: "I know."

"Although the children of the former Emperor have died, there was a fire in the palace before he ascended the throne. It was at that time that the youngest son left by the former Emperor, the eleventh prince, who was only seven years old, was buried in the fire. Because the body was difficult to distinguish, only the jade pendant on his body could be found as evidence. Now he was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum as the eleventh prince."

There is no need to speak clearly to a wise man. Linglong understands: "... The emperor suspects that the eleventh Prince is not dead?"

If so, we can understand why the emperor always showed a thoughtful expression in the past. Anyway, today's seat was robbed from the former Emperor. If the 11th Prince really lives and cheers up, even if it can't be done, it will greatly hurt the vitality of the imperial court. If the 11th prince had lived to this day, he would have been about 30 people. The Mu Mingtao case occurred 15 years ago. According to time, the "imperial criminals" Mu Mingtao harbored at that time were the 11th prince who escaped from the palace and returned to the capital.

He has gradually grown up and wants revenge and his own throne. Mu Mingtao, who once enlightened the former Emperor, is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate to win over.

Mu Mingtao's case caused a great sensation, but the "imperial prisoner" was not caught. He should have escaped from the capital in the chaos. He never thought that he was so alert today, so after Mu Mingtao's death, he hid his power and bided his time for many years, and there was no news. Now he can't be sure whether the eleventh Prince is really alive. He just held the idea that he would rather kill by mistake than let go, Just want Mu Mingtao's head.

And now the capital homicide case is back, it can not be said that someone is behind the manipulation.

Zhu Wen seems to have died of Yang, but his death is actually humiliating. The dignified imperial court official and second-class senior official did not die naked at the door of his house. The murderer was either provocative or insulting. In either case, the premise is to find the woman who had a spring breeze with Zhu Wen.

Linglong has a hunch that if she finds this woman, many mysteries will be solved.

Lord Hong closed the file, "Lord Zhu and Lord Gan are inextricably related to Mu Mingtao, but I don't understand. What did Lord Gan do wrong? Because he is mu Mingtao's student, he cannot be reused for many years, and he has never made a mistake. Why did the murderer kill him? Will the real culprits behind the two cases be the same person? "

"Lord Gan was tied to his limbs before he died. It's a very painful thing to suffocate when he was sober. But after the autopsy, he found that except for the physiological reaction of suffocation, there were no resistance scars on Lord Gan. Can it be said that the killer filled him with ecstasy in advance? But if you fill it with medicine, you can kill it with a knife. Why use such cruel means of killing? "

Linglong said, "unless, he doesn't want to resist."

Remove all the impossible factors, and the remaining possibility, even if it is bizarre and absurd, is the truth.

While they were discussing, Constable Tong of Jingzhao mansion came and said that he had found the whereabouts of Mu Mingtao's descendants.

Linglong stands up to say goodbye to Lord Hong. The file has not been read. Whether there are any doubts about Mu Mingtao's case has to be handed over to Lord Hong. Although the emperor said it would be hosted by Linglong, the people of the three law departments could not be idle and had to be sent by him.

While walking, Constable Tong said that only one of Mu Mingtao's two granddaughters survived. She was just 18 years old. When Mu Mingtao died, the Mu family members were filled into the church and became an official prostitute. She was only three years old and ignorant. She could not remember the events of that year. Constable Tong sent someone to check. She didn't know who she was, and she was gentle, considerate and obedient, Therefore, she did not suffer much, and her mother preferred her because of her beautiful appearance.

Linglong looked at her official robe and stopped.

Constable Tong was stunned: "sir? Where are you going? "

"Go back and change."

Constable Tong scratched his head: "you look good in this!"

Linglong didn't bother to pay attention to the two goods. In this dynasty, the law officials were not allowed to have sex with prostitutes, even the official prostitutes could not go blatantly. If they were seen, one copy would be enough to drink a pot.

He didn't let Constable Tong go with him. He took Sijin to the Jiaofang department.

Most of the official prostitutes of the Jiaofang Department of our Dynasty are sent to serve the officials in various states. Only those with outstanding appearance and talent can stay in the Jiaofang department in the capital. There is no good life here. They are more severe than the brothels outside. After strict education, most of them are official women. After entering the base nationality, they can no longer use their previous names.

As soon as Linglong heard that she was looking for someone, the mother of the Jiaofang department quickly sent someone to call, but Linglong raised her hand: "no, I can go myself."

He was born handsome and beautiful. The girls couldn't help blushing and beating. Linglong asked the heavily made-up mother as she walked: "I heard that Shuangzhi girl has excellent color and art. Today I want to see it."

The mother shook her handkerchief and smiled, "Lord Liu said so well, but she killed my daughter! Others dare not say that Shuangzhi is really a learned man! All day long, those literati pursue her most! There was an adult who offered a thousand gold coins and wanted to see frost weave one side, but he couldn't! "

She almost praised the frost weaving to the sky, and Linglong was interested: "is it really so good?"

"Of course! I dare to cheat Lord Liu who knows everything! "

The two joked and came to Shuangzhi's room. A servant girl with a bun opened the door. As soon as she entered, Linglong smelled a faint smell of ink.

The woman sitting at the table got up and saluted: "frost weaving has seen Lord Liu."

"My Lord, you can have a good chat with my daughter here. I'll be busy first?"

Linglong chuckled and lost a silver ingot. Her mother took it over and bit it on her mouth. She became more and more happy. She wanted to send Linglong and Shuangzhi to make a pile immediately. With a meaningful smile on her face, she pulled the little servant girl out with her backhand and brought it to the door.

Linglong brushed away the folding fan. He was really handsome and romantic. The childe was unparalleled. He had no anxiety of other officials or obsession with the beauty of frost weaving. Instead, he turned around the room twice.

At present, there are four official prostitutes who have the widest reputation and are good at each other. Shuang Zhizhi is good at "books". It seems that they are much more elegant to be close to such beauties. Official prostitutes do not say that they do not sell themselves. However, these four official prostitutes have countless ministers under their skirts and may become their guests by virtue of their beauty and talent. Those men holding silver and heart may not be able to exchange for a beautiful look back.

For example, the beauty of frost weaving can live on the first floor for two. The room is huge, the furnishings are fresh and elegant, and there is no incense. Her clothes are not luxurious. Just look with your eyes, she is a beauty who comes out of Hibiscus in clear water and is naturally carved.

Her speech is very elegant and gentle. She can speak to people's hearts word by word. She is definitely a conversational expert. She can't stop saying every word. She wants to be a confidant. Where can she think of Wushan Yunyu?

"Miss Shuangzhi, do you still remember your life experience?"

Even if Linglong asked, Shuangzhi was soft and calm: "my family has become a humble nationality. All kinds of things in the past are like passing clouds, and I was only three years old when I joined the church. I can't remember the past."

"Mu Mingtao." Linglong stared at her jade like face, "do you have an impression of this name?"

Shuangzhi was at a loss first, then thought. After a moment, she shook her head apologetically: "Sir, forgive me. I haven't heard of this person."

She tried to look at Linglong, but in front of her, the jade tree facing adult Liu had a beautiful face, but her eyes were sharp and frightening.

"This mu Mingtao, once an official and a great scholar of Baohe hall, is the enlightenment mentor of the former Emperor and today. He is respected and respected."

Frost weaves: "forgive me for my ignorance. I really haven't heard the name of this adult."

"However, this man has been in disrespect for a long time, and even collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country with the intention of rebellion. Today, he was merciful. Instead of beheading him, he was only beheaded. The men were exiled and the women's family members became the Department of the church. Miss Shuangzhi, is this person too stupid? There are such greedy and shameless people in the world. It should be noted that there is a country and a family, but he ignores the country and the people for his own self-interest... Good killing today, miss Shuangzhi, don't you think? "

Shuangzhi still looked gentle, but she was a little afraid: "Lord Liu, it's too scary. I'm timid. Don't say such a thing to scare me. And I'm just a weak woman. Where can I talk about this matter? "

She is slim, bright eyed, bright toothed, and charming. She is very pitiful. Rao is a hard hearted person. She is afraid that she will turn into a pool of water when she sees it. Linglong smiles and is unmoved: "the Mu family members can't bear to be humiliated and commit suicide. Only Mu Mingtao's two granddaughters are left. They were brought up after they became the sect secretary because they are young. After her eldest granddaughter died for some reason, Only the little granddaughter left... Does Miss Shuangzhi want to know where the little granddaughter is now? "

"Adults are joking." Frost weave slightly reluctantly showed a shallow smile, "what does Mu Mingtao have to do with my family, whether his granddaughter is dead or alive, and what does it have to do with my family? I'm a prostitute. The first thing my mother taught me was to forget the past. Otherwise, I'm arrogant. How can I serve the adults well? "

Yes, from the day she joined the church, she had no self-esteem and pride. It didn't matter who she was in the past. Now she is just a humble official prostitute, that's all.

Linglong watched her carefully. When she said this, she was very calm. It made people feel that she didn't care at all and had completely accepted today's life. But would anyone in the world really have no resentment against the cruel fate? You should know that she is not the daughter of a small farmer, but mu Mingtao's granddaughter. If Mu Mingtao had not been disloyal in his old age, she would be a noble daughter who is popular with everyone. Why would she be reduced to prostitution?

Linglong has seen countless miserable people, and only a few can admit their fate. There is a fire in people's heart. This fire may be frozen because of the unfair fate, but it will never disappear. As long as it is lit, it will spread from the flame to an amazing flame.

"How will girl Shuangzhi serve me?"

Frost weaving never expected Linglong to say such a sentence. There were traces of surprise on her beautiful face. Obviously, she knew that Linglong came today, not to linger with her, but to ask questions, but he suddenly changed the topic, and the atmosphere was completely different. Rao was psychologically prepared and frost weaving didn't respond. She just felt that adult Liu of Zhilan Yushu in front of her, It was a moment when he took off his sharp and dangerous coat and revealed his elegant and elegant inner lining.

It changed so fast that she was not even sure which was the real him.

In the Department of Jiaofang, officials have seen a lot. There has never been anyone as outstanding as him, nor has anyone made Shuangzhi subconsciously feel dangerous like him.

Seeing that the eyelashes like a small fan trembled, Linglong held up the frost woven chin with her portable folding fan, looked carefully at her small face, bright eyes and bright teeth, looked forward to life, and was worthy of being the number one of the Jiaofang department. Although she was a prostitute, she didn't have the slightest vulgarity, but she was bookish and like a big girl.

But Linglong also knew that she was just like this in appearance. Which of the women in the Jiaofang division was not familiar with the way of men and women, which was different from ordinary expensive women. It is the different postures under the bed that are even more fascinating.

"My lord..."

Linglong held her wrist and easily made her stand unstable and fall into his arms. Shuangzhi's body was only stiff for a moment, then it quickly softened and attached to his arms. Her eyes were like silk, with spring feelings, and she was free of a delicate state of refusing to welcome. Ordinary people really couldn't stand it.

The top beauty, the top figure and the top seduction, I'm afraid only the eunuchs in the palace can turn a blind eye.

However, even with such a posture, Shuangzhi doesn't show extravagance. It is like a beautiful Peony in full bloom. It is eager to say something, amorous and charming. It makes people want to plunge into this gentle countryside and never wake up again.

"Frost weaving girl really doesn't remember anything?" Linglong spoke beside her white jade like ears, and the hot air quickly dyed her pink cheeks and ears red. "What if I said, Shuangzhi girl is the little granddaughter?"

"Yes or no." Frost weaving tried to keep her voice from trembling. "I don't remember. What's important?"

Linglong continued to talk in her ear with a very light voice, just like a whisper, "there are many doubts in Mu Mingtao's case. The informant died suddenly and the people related to him died. This has to make me wonder if there is anything I don't know or I didn't find out? Frost weaving girl is smart and should solve my doubts. "

Frost weaves his body slightly trembling, "I don't have that ability. Adults think too much of me..."

"Shuangzhi is mu Mingtao's granddaughter. Anyone who wants to find out can find out. Isn't Shuangzhi afraid of killing herself at that time?" Linglong played with her soft hands, opened her fists and clasped her fingers, intimate and domineering, but this was the first time they met.

It's just because she is an official prostitute and a lowly person.

Which of the officials who came to the Department of education did not look down on them in their hearts?

Rao talks and laughs on the surface, and unconsciously reveals that he is cheap.

Shuang Zhi understands this, and she can react very quickly. Therefore, the trembling of her body, the retreat of her words, and the shy look... Are just what she should show.

For 15 years, she has been transferred to teach. What kind of person she should respond to has become a brand engraved in her soul. Here, you can be coquettish and angry, playful and hypocritical, but all this is based on obedience. Their appearance, talent and posture are trained to serve men. They can have their own advantages, but their essence will never change.

"I'm naturally afraid, but this is the Department of the Jiaofang. Ordinary people can't come in. If you really get into the trouble of killing yourself, you're afraid of life."

This is the difference between official prostitutes and ordinary prostitutes. Ordinary prostitutes still have the hope of redemption. Official prostitutes are the family members of sinners and can only die of old age.

This is the most watertight and intelligent woman Linglong has seen in this world since she was born. Although her appearance is tender, Linglong feels that her soul is by no means the softness she shows.

She has an unyielding soul.

At present, Shuangzhi naturally won't believe him. Linglong can't tell each other everything when they meet for the first time. They try to make a false promise to each other. In fact, no one trusts anyone.

It doesn't matter. There's plenty of time in the future.

Shuangzhi almost thought that the warm and slender hands that clasped herself were to open the skirt. She was also prepared. However, he didn't move, but just close to her collar and sniffed gently.

Shuangzhi's face was instantly stained with red clouds. Such a move... She couldn't help but want to stay away from him. Considering her identity, she couldn't help but take the initiative to soften her body and let him take whatever he wanted.

Linglong didn't move her again. She put her down from her leg, took out a silver note and stuffed it into Shuangzhi's hand. She smiled at her. She was speechless and went away naturally.

Frost weave looked at the silver note in her hand, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and a frightening cold appeared.
