Chapter 105 The Five-Colored Jade Case (1) 1st update
Budou entered the house and started looking for a bed. When he saw the bed when he entered the inner room, he jumped on it, carrying the dust along the way, and fell asleep soundly.
The servants brought hot water. When Wu Chen saw that there were a few little girls following him, he hurriedly said to the second year of high school: "I don't need anyone to serve me. I can just find a boy to serve me the tea and pour the water." , Second brother, please tell Lin Douzhi.”
< br>The sophomore in high school looked at the little girls and said with a smile: "You don't need to be so careful..."
"It's not that you need to be careful, you won't get used to it." Wu Chen yawned and stretched. , walked to the shelf and started washing hands and face.
The second year of high school said to Xu Da, "See you tomorrow" and left with a few little girls.
After Wu Chen finished washing, he asked the boy to go out with a plate of dirty water. He locked the door, took off his gown, blew out the candles, and was about to go to bed. Cao Kang suddenly appeared in front of him with his long hair covering his face.
Wu Chen cursed ‘Wu Cao! ’ After a while, he forgot about Cao Kang.
"Are you sleeping now? Didn't you say you wanted to help me?" Cao Kang asked urgently.
Wu Chen sighed softly. He felt sorry for himself for a few seconds. He would be startled every now and then. He didn't have to wait for the blood to run out, as his heart would probably strike first.
"How long have you not been a human being?" Wu Chen asked: "Have you forgotten that being a human being will make you sleepy and tired?"
Cao Kang said hurriedly: "If you don't investigate all night, just in case, if the real murderer escapes, It's..."
"Twenty-five In the recent case, if the real murderer wanted to escape, would he wait for me to come before running away?"
"What if he knew you were from the Imperial City Division..."
"You knew you were. Who harmed your whole family?”
"Isn't this waiting for you to check?"
"How to check?"
"How do I know!"
"Yes, you don't know how to check, but I You know how to check, should you just wait for the good news? Listen carefully, wait, the key is the word "quiet". After Wu Chen finished speaking, he went to bed.
...
Wu Chen had a very sweet sleep this time. It was obvious that he was very tired. When he woke up, his head was still sleeping.
Wu Chen got up, walked to the hall, stretched, yawned and opened the door, and then stood there with his mouth open.
I saw two rows of servants standing at the door, carrying pots, basins, clothes, boots, tea, and some carrying a box like a makeup box... …
Wu Chen quickly closed the door, and three seconds later, he opened it again with a kind face and a smile on his lips.
...
Da Tou woke up only when he smelled the aroma of rice.
The two were just about to have their meal when Senior High School student and Xu Dafei came in.
Wu Chen said: "Have you eaten? Let's go together."
The sophomore and Xu Da were sitting at the table, and the sophomore complained:
"We are not as lucky as you. We can sleep as long as we want. No matter what time we went to bed last night, we still have to get up at midnight this morning. This is already considered good. Let us get up at noon. Naturally, we have already eaten breakfast.”
Xu Da said: “After breakfast, we chatted with others for a while, um... I’m afraid this errand will not be easy to handle.”
“Oh?” Wu Chen put down the porridge bowl and asked curiously: "Is it because there are few clues or because there are many people involved?"
Xu Da said: "Listen to what Lin Douzhi says in a moment. Anyway, this job is handed over to me." After you take it, he will go back to Kyoto."
Wu Chen nodded, no longer in the mood to eat. He stood up and said, "I will go find Lin Duzhi now."
...
Lin Huaian has been waiting for Wu Chen. Not only Lin Huaian is waiting, Yang'an County Magistrate Chen Wuzhao is also waiting, sitting under Lin Huaian.
Wu Chen, led by his servants, hurried to Lin Huaian's house. When he entered the door, he clasped his fists and said, "Let Lin know how long you have been waiting."
Lin Huaian stood up with a smile and said: "Mr. Wu was tired yesterday, and today Japan It's time to sleep a little longer, so I didn't order anyone to call him."
Wu Chen found a seat under Lin Huaian and sat down carelessly. Then he seemed to suddenly see Chen Wuzhao, and turned to ask Lin Huaian: " This is..."
"Yang'an County Magistrate, Chen Wuzhao."
"Oh, County Magistrate Chen, I have something to ask you."
Chen Wuzhao stood up the moment Wu Chen walked in, his face full of smiles. Laughing, but Wu Chen didn't even look at him. He was still thinking that this young man was a little too arrogant. Even when Lin Huaian came, regardless of whether it was true or not, he still wanted to say a few words to him. This one... is too young.
Chen Wuzhao was just thinking when he heard Wu Chen's words. Chen Wuzhao was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "I wonder if Wu has any official duties?"
Wu Chen waved his hand and said: "We'll talk about your business later." After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Huaian, waiting for Lin Huaian to introduce the case.
Lin Huaian first ordered people to serve tea, and then said:
"Gongshi Wu should know that Xijiang is rich in beautiful jade. Once he gets the best quality, he will definitely send it to Kyoto. Some time ago, a piece of five-color jade was dug out in Xijiang The stone can be called a precious jade, so it was naturally sent to Kyoto as soon as possible after being reported to the court. Twenty days ago, this five-color jade stone was escorted by a battalion of officers and soldiers to Laojie Mountain outside Yang'an County. All five hundred officers and soldiers of the first battalion were killed, and the five-color jade stone disappeared. ."< br>
Wu Chen took a breath of air and paused for two seconds before asking: "Five hundred people, all dead?"
Chen Wuzhao had just sat down when he said: "We are here At that time, there were still two soldiers who were angry, and one soldier said..." Chen Wuzhao stared at Wu Chen's expression closely: "They said it was the Yin soldiers who robbed Dao, killed them, and took away the five-color jade."
Wu Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Wuzhao.
Chen Wuzhao did not see fear on Wu Chen's face and was quite disappointed.
Wu Chen snorted and asked: "Are there bandits in Laojie Mountain?"
Chen Wuzhao immediately shook his head and said: "During my governance, there were no bandits in Yang'an County... ..."
"Cao Bingde is a civil servant in your yamen, right?"
Wu Chen suddenly asked, Chen Wuzhao was not mentally prepared, and all his hair stood up.
Wu Chen looked at Chen Wuzhao's panicked expression, smiled, turned around and asked Lin Huaian: "Has Lin Duzhi found any clues in the past few days?"
Lin Huaian glanced at the panicked expression. Chen Wuzhao, He frowned and said:
"Laojie Mountain is somewhat famous. It is a place for spiritual practice by those who seek the Tao. There are scattered villages at the foot of the mountain. However, many literati like to visit here. Five hundred soldiers When passing by here , some villagers have seen it. It was noon when they saw it. It stands to reason that before the sun sets, they should have walked out of Laojie Mountain and headed east. The five hundred soldiers were all cavalry. Although the five-color jade stone was heavy, it was placed in the carriage. It did not affect the speed of travel, but when the five hundred people were discovered the next morning, they were still at the foot of Laojie Mountain."
"When the five hundred people were discovered, except for those two people. , are all dead?" Wu Chen asked.
Chen Wuzhao said hurriedly: "When I arrived with my people, I saw the soldiers collapsed in one piece. There were no injuries on their bodies. Only two soldiers were still alive. They only left a few words. Breathed."
"Has it been tested to see if it's poisoned?" Wu Chen asked. (End of this chapter)
