Huo Chonglou and Liu Sandao led the East Factory servants to fly away, and there were sits and notes of the East Factory in the large and small yamen of the Beijing division and on the streets, and the secret agents were all over the place, and they could find shops selling perfumes and wood carvings according to the map.

Qin Lin walked out of the scene of the murder and saw that Xing Shangzhi and a few of his subordinates were still here, and raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, Xing Zhang's punishment hasn't left yet?" ”

Xing Shangzhi accompanied the smiling face and went down: "The eyes of the overseer are like lightning, and his subordinates are dumbfounded, admire, admire!" ”

Hahaha, Qin Lin looked up to the sky and laughed, stretched out a finger and shook it: "It's insincere, right?" Xing Zhang's punishment is not such a spitting person! ”

Xing Shangzhi was still smiling, but his voice was cold: "Lord Qin, each other." ”

"Hey, then I'll rest for a while, what do you like," Qin Lin said and ignored him, walked to the middle of the courtyard and took a deep breath, as if to expel the smell of blood from the murder scene from his lungs.

Mu Shun ordered the little eunuch to bring a reclining chair and placed it under the willow tree in the middle of the courtyard: "Hurry up, Sandezi and Tianfu, why don't you look at things...... Lord Qin, take a break here. ”

Mu Shun twisted his face and smiled flatteringly at Qin Lin, and dusted the chaise longue twice with his sleeve to wipe away the dust that didn't exist in the first place.

The little Shunzi beside Zheng Niangniang, the father-in-law Shun who has a lot of face in the inner court, how many times have you seen him so respectful? If it was because of fear before, now he really admires Qin Lin, facing the pressure of solving the case within a day limit, and he also solves the case seriously at a glance, and does not use these eunuchs and palace maids as scapegoats, which is really admirable.

Many times, justice is contagious.

Qin Lin did not refuse Mu Shun's kindness, he sat on the recliner, comfortably basking in the warm spring sun, and a few little eunuchs next to him brought a coffee table, a small red clay stove, full of simmering fragrant tea, the spring breeze hit, and the willow branches were swaying.

Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali were secretly funny, Lord Qin was so big, and he was not polite when he came to the palace!

Cui Guangwei couldn't look at it, and snorted in a low voice: "Hmph, he looks like a soldier, I look at him like a living Cao Ying." ”

Bai Yuliang and Lang Xiaohe nodded in agreement, no way, under the willow tree in Chuxiu Palace, Qin Lin was lying on a recliner basking in the sun, Quan Gelding Mou stood bowed down, and a few little eunuchs served left and right.

Xing Shangzhi smiled noncommittally: "The case is a case, if you want to plan and spread it in this capital, you can't solve the case, Qin is just arrogant for a while, and he can't turn over the sky in Dongchang!" ”

The cronies were stunned at first, and then laughed, relying on a murder case that happened in the inner court, Qin Lin escaped at most the charges of ineffectiveness and negligence in the protective ban, and kept the position of the overseer of the East Factory, but if he wanted to take this further, or do something, I am afraid that it is still far away.

Xing Shangzhi wondered what the hell this guy was probably doing, if it was really found out that it was done by other eunuchs, Zhang Sili was a little unsightly.

"Maybe the person surnamed Qin wants to make up his mind about this?" Xing Shangzhi thought so, and his henchmen stared at Qin Lin without blinking.

No one knew what Qin Lin was thinking, who was lying down and pretending to sleep, Xing Shangzhi and his gang opened their eyes wide, but they couldn't see any movement from Qin Lin's face...... "Brother Qin, Brother Qin," Lu Yuanzhi shouted twice, and when he saw that Qin Lin never woke up, he pushed him twice, "Brother Huo and Brother Liu are back." ”

Oh? Qin Lin rubbed his eyes and stretched again.

No way! Xing Shangzhi and Bai Yuliang all stumbled in unison, it turned out that Qin Lin was really asleep!

Huo Chonglou took a step forward and said loudly: "Fortunately, the overseer, we have arrested the shopkeeper who sells things." ”

The goods of this era are mostly handmade, and each shop sells them differently, if it is preserved fruit and candied silk cloth, it may be difficult to distinguish, but Western perfumes, wood carving and laughing dolls and other things are too easy to find the source.

Huo Chonglou and Liu Sandao are very experienced, and after leaving the palace, they went to the carpentry store and the foreign goods store respectively to find an old shopkeeper to palm, and immediately identified which one sold the goods.

"The Western perfume is sold by the Fengcheng Hutong Hu Ji Merchant Store, this is the shopkeeper Fu, the wood carving doll is from the Tin Wax Hutong Quanshun Wood Shop, and this is the Zuo master," Huo Chonglou introduced, pushing the two shopkeepers forward.

Shopkeeper Fu and Master Zuo both knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Lin, the two of them sweated like rain, and kept shouting for mercy.

Where can ordinary people enter the palace? The two of them took this trip to open a foreign meat, but they were frightened along the way, their legs were soft, and their faces were white with fright.

Dongchang's campaign, what kind of characters are they? said that he was assisting in the investigation, but the fierce and vicious look seemed to be eating people, and he arrested them in the Forbidden City.

"Lao Huo, I asked you to find someone to assist in the investigation, why did you scare people like this?" Qin Lin pretended to glare at Huo Chonglou, and then stretched out his hand with a smile: "The two shopkeepers please, in fact, this governor asked you to come, just ask you to think about it, have any eunuchs come to buy these two things?" ”

Bento? Shopkeeper Fu and Master Zuo originally stood up, but knelt down again, and this was the overseer of Dongchang in front of him, and the legend was a big man who was extremely cruel and vicious.

Seeing that the two of them were frightened, Qin Lin had no choice but to repeat the question.

Shopkeeper Fu and Master Zuo finally came back to their senses, both confused, and said at the same time: "These two goods are selling very well, at least a few hundred pieces have been sold, I don't know who has bought them!" ”

Western perfume is very valuable, wood carving dolls are made of Nanyang fragrant wood, but also a relatively expensive object, if in other places, may sell a few pieces a year, it is relatively easy to find buyers.

But this is the Beijing Division, the crown is gathered, the powerful are like the carp crossing the river, no matter how expensive things are also bought, not to mention that these two pieces are not the top goods, the perfume is worth ten taels of silver, the wood carving doll is worth twelve taels, and there are not a few people who can afford it.

Huo Chonglou looked at the sky, became more and more anxious, stretched out his hand to roll up his sleeves, and wanted to beat the two shopkeepers violently.

Qin Lin shook his head and stopped him with a look.

"Since that's the case," Qin Lin thought for a moment and beckoned to Zhang Jinchao: "When did the two things appear in Wu Zannu's room?" ”

"The perfume is in July last year, and the wood carving doll is November," Zhang Jinchao said with confidence, it seems that he has a deep grudge against his rival, so he remembers it very clearly, but at that time he thought that these were given to Wu Zannu by Song Bao.

After that, Zhang Jinchao looked at Song Bao, Song Bao was also full of wry smiles, and now that he thinks about it, both of them are quite sad.

Qin Lin clapped his hands: "Okay, shopkeeper Fu, the perfume in July, Master Zuo, and the wood carving in November are all bought by the eunuchs, you should be able to remember, right?" ”

The two shopkeepers looked embarrassed.

Qin Lin smiled, sat back on the recliner and drank tea slowly.

Lu Yuanzhi couldn't bear it anymore, and when he saw that his head was gradually turning westward, his face shook with fat: "Two, I can't think of it yet, so I have to ask you to go to the Dongchang prison to think about it slowly." ”

"Hey, I figured it out, I have a little impression, he is a very delicate and beautiful, shy little eunuch, and a tall eunuch with very round and bright eyes and long legs," said the shopkeeper Fu.

Master Zuo also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, there are two people, handsome like a big girl, one is soft-voiced like a rabbit, and the other is a bit like a man's wife, I thought that a woman was dressed as a man, but it turned out to be the father-in-law in the palace......"

There's a play! Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali looked at each other, their faces were excited, Huo Chonglou and Liu Sandao also rubbed their hands, looking delicate and beautiful little white faces, of course, they liked the girl, even if they were eunuchs, they could also fascinate Wu Zannu, ** not far from ten, this guy is it!

"What does it look like, can you describe it?" Qin Lin spread out the pen and paper as he spoke.

The shopkeeper Fu recalled that "the white skin is a delicate melon seed face, two thin and curved eyebrows, bright eyes, a delicate nose, and a small cherry mouth - hey, it really looks like a girl!" By the way, where did I go? Well, it's a little thin, weak, and the cheeks on both sides are red before I speak, and I am very gentle and ......"

Qin Lin painted while listening, but his brows furrowed as he painted, and he suddenly folded the painting, and then raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper: "Tell me, what does the person next to him look like?" ”

"He is tall and has long legs, a slightly round face, a slightly darker complexion than the one in front of him, slightly thicker lips, and a pair of round eyes that are dark and bright...... If it weren't for the eunuch, I would have thought it was a man in men's clothes," Fu recalled, after a gap of more than a year, he still remembered it very clearly, which showed that he was more impressed at that time.

Lu Yuanzhi screamed in his throat, his two little eyes widened, and Niu Dali also showed surprise.

Qin Lin frowned, waved his hand to signal that Shopkeeper Fu didn't need to say anything, and looked at Master Zuo again: "Are these two people he said?" ”

"That's right," Master Zuo was very sure.

Qin Linhuo stood up suddenly, stuffed the sketches into his sleeves, and walked out with a black face.

Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali's expressions were extremely strange, they looked at each other, and hurriedly followed behind Qin Lin.

Huo Chonglou, Liu Sandao, Xing Shangzhi and others all wanted to follow, but Lu Yuanzhi turned around and said, "You guys stay here, let's accompany Lord Qin to come." ”

Huo Chonglou immediately stopped when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to stop Xing Shangzhi.

"What the hell?" Xing Shangzhi snorted heavily in his nose, and finally didn't say anything and retreated. Bai Yuliang, Lang Xiaohe, and Cui Guangwei lowered their voices and discussed, not knowing why Qin Lin suddenly changed his face and said to leave.

When Lu Yuanzhi turned around, Qin Lin had already walked far away, and he hurriedly trotted to catch up: "Brother Qin, wait for me ......"
