Lu Datou is a man of some skill. He found out the address of Jiang's family without much effort. Unfortunately, the house was deserted. But he did not give up. He talked to the neighbors and learned that Jiang's family moved back to their hometown not long after Jiang Fangxiu's accident. However, two servants who used to work for Jiang's family stayed and now work for a wealthy family nearby. After a lot of twists and turns, Lu Datou finally found the servants who used to work for Jiang's family. He spent a little money and finally pieced together the truth from the two people. "Brother, brother, I have found out everything about the surname Jiang." After finding out the truth, Lu Datou did not delay for a minute, did not eat, and hurried back to Tianlao with the remaining silver. "I've found out everything. When Jiang Fangxiu got into trouble, the Jiang family moved back to their hometown. Fortunately, two servants stayed in the capital to make a living. I've found out everything. Jiang Fangxiu was unlucky and offended Princess Qingyang, or to be more precise, a guest official in Princess Qingyang's mansion." Princess Qingyang? Princess Qingyang is the eldest daughter of the old emperor. It is said that she was quite favored when she was young, but her marriage was not satisfactory. She married a playboy who was incompetent and lived on his parents. The couple had a bad relationship and played their own games. Everyone in the court knew about it. The old emperor asked about it several times and even wanted to punish the son-in-law, but in the end, nothing happened. The couple continued to live a married life in name only. I heard that Princess Qingyang's mansion kept several male concubines.
However, all these male concubines added together were not as good as a guest official in the princess's mansion. This guest official's surname is Su. He was born in a family of officials. He was talented and handsome. The book described a man as a handsome young man in a turbid world. This was tailor-made for Su Keqing. However, Su Keqing had a bad fate. His father died when he was young, his mother was weak, and both mother and son were bullied by the clan. Fortunately, he was smart since he was young and was called a child prodigy in the local area. He showed an extraordinary talent for reading. When he passed the imperial examination and gradually gained the attention of the clan, his life became better. Later, he successfully passed the imperial examination and ranked first in the second list, which is the fourth place. This ranking is already extraordinary. The most important thing is that he and Jiang Fangxiu were both Jinshi in the same list. But Jiang Fangxiu ranked last. Perhaps this is how the feud was formed. Later, Su Keqing was introduced by his mentor and married and had children. It was also because of his mentor's involvement that he and his father-in-law's family were unlucky, imprisoned, and severely punished. Most of the male members of his father-in-law's family did not survive and died in prison. Most of the women also hanged themselves, and even their children were gone. Su Keqing was also going to die, but he was so handsome that Princess Qingyang fell in love with him after just one look. When she learned that he was in trouble, she risked being punished by the old emperor and rescued him. He was raised in the princess's mansion and became a guest official to give advice to Princess Qingyang. As for the grudge between Jiang Fangxiu and Su Keqing, according to the servants of the Jiang family, when Su Keqing was imprisoned, Jiang Fangxiu had taken advantage of the situation and offended the Su family. After Su Keqing gained a foothold in the princess's mansion, he began to take revenge on Jiang Fangxiu. Princess Qingyang fully supported Su Keqing, and Jiang Fangxiu was imprisoned. The Jiang family was worried that Su Keqing would continue to retaliate against the Jiang family, so they hurriedly moved back to their ancestral home and did not dare to stay in the capital. Now that Jiang Fangxiu is dead, whether his body will be buried or fed to wild dogs depends on the intention of the princess's mansion. As long as the Princess's Mansion doesn't say anything, Jiang Fangxiu's body will have to remain in the morgue. This is roughly what happened. Lu Datou drank two cups of tea in succession and wiped his mouth. "Brother, if you still want to know the details, I'll go to ask the failed Jinshi in the same exam, and I'm sure I can find out more. If that doesn't work, I'll go to the Princess's Mansion to ask for help." "Look at you, you're going to the Princess's Mansion to ask for help. The Princess's Mansion is so easy to find out, be careful that you'll lose your life. Okay, let's stop here. There's still some money left." Lu Datou smiled and pretended to take out the money, "There's still some money left." Before he could take out the money, Chen Guanlou said directly: "The rest of the money is left for you, buy some Give the children some delicious food. By the way, how old is this guest Su this year? " "He should be less than 40. I heard that he was quite young when he passed the imperial examination and had a promising future. Who knew that disaster would come from the sky. If Princess Qingyang hadn't rescued him, he would have died in prison long ago."
"Well, I know, you go and do your work. Be restrained and don't let Xu Fugui catch you." "Thank you for reminding me, there is nothing to fear about Xu Fugui." Lu Datou got the job done and got the silver. He was in a good mood and left happily. I guess he would have to take care of the gambling business at night. After Wang Bantou learned the truth, he kept scratching his hair. "Really let the body stay there? What if the princess's mansion doesn't say anything? Wouldn't it stink?"
Fortunately, it is winter now and the temperature has dropped in the past few days. If he died in the summer, Wang Bantou couldn't imagine the scene. How horrible it would be! Suddenly I remembered the time when the corpse was whipped. The whole prison was filled with a smell that took half a month to completely dissipate. No one could stand that smell. Moreover, it also affected his bonus. "Let's see what happens in the Ministry of Justice first. If it doesn't work, we can find a way to notify the Princess's Mansion." "Sir, do you have any ideas? Do you know someone in the Princess's Mansion?" "How can I know someone in the Princess's Mansion?" Chen Guanlou snorted twice. He didn't know anyone in the Princess's Mansion, but he knew that there was someone who must know someone in the Princess's Mansion. Brother Xiang! Chen Guanxiang! As the gatekeeper of the Marquis's Mansion, he is very knowledgeable. The Princess's Mansion must have had some dealings with the Marquis' Mansion. As the gatekeeper, Chen Guanxiang could not talk to other people, but he could definitely talk to the manager of the Princess's Mansion. However, everything had to wait for the notification from the Ministry of Justice. For fear that the morgue was not cold enough, Chen Guanlou ordered people to put a few more large ice cubes in. Since the Jiang family was not in the capital, then notify Jiang Fangxiu's relatives and friends, no matter who they were, and let them prepare to collect the body. The Ministry of Justice dragged on and on, and there was no movement for several days. Chen Guanlou arranged for people to go to the Ministry of Justice to urge, but it didn't work. If the matter was not too small, he would have wanted to go to Sun Daoning in person to talk to him. He did not find Sun Daoning, but he found Lord Fan, the former Fan Yucheng. Lord Fan told him that there was no other way to deal with this matter, he could only wait. Chen Guanlou could wait. But the body could not wait. According to the rules, the body must be kept in the Tianlao morgue before it is decapitated and cannot be moved. This is terrible!
"The body cannot be kept for a long time, my lord. If you go to Tianlao, you will know that the smell can no longer be covered." "There is nothing we can do about it. Tianlao does this job. If you have connections, you can quickly notify the Princess's Mansion and let the Princess's Mansion speak." "I don't have any connections." "Don't be modest. This kind of small matter will definitely not be difficult for you."
