Chapter 536 Former Petty Official.

When Hualang and Wen Meng returned to the post house, Bao Zheng and Wen Yanbo had already returned from the palace, and the crown prince Duan Suxing and Miss Huiqiong also came, and they were all waiting for Hualang.

After Hua Lang and Wen Meng sat down in the courtyard of the post house, Duan Suxing hurriedly said, "The matter of the jade pendant has been investigated clearly. ”

Hua Lang nodded: "I want to hear about it!" ”

"The person who replaced the jade pendant was Li Liang, the former petty official in charge of finance, but after several years of corruption, coupled with his bribery, he is now a household secretary, and after we investigated him, he also admitted that the jade pendant was his, but he kept shouting that he was wronged, saying that he did not kill anyone."

When Duan Suxing said these words, his tone was full of disdain, which meant that he didn't believe that Li Liang was not a murderer at all.

After hearing these words, Hua Lang bowed his head slightly and said, "Have you ever arrested Li Liang?" ”

"This is natural, even if he is not a murderer, the matter of the jade pendant is enough for him."

Hua Lang nodded slightly, and then said: "In this case, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to gather all the people related to it in Le Ya Lou before this evening, this matter should be over." ”

After hearing Hua Lang say this, everyone was surprised, and Bao Zheng even asked: "Brother Hua knows who the murderer is?" ”

Hanalang nodded: "That's right, but I can't say it yet, wait until this evening." ”

Duan Suxing and Hui Qiong were also surprised, they still didn't know much about this matter, or they believed that Li Liang was the murderer, but there was no evidence, and they couldn't be sure, now Hua Lang said that he knew who the murderer was, which was really incredible.

But despite this, Duan Suxing still agreed very happily.

After Duan Suxing left the post house, everyone seemed a little excited, because they were waiting for the mystery to be revealed.

Before dusk, the streets of Dali became more and more lively, and the sun was still warm, after everyone was tied, they urged Hualang to hurry up to Le Ya Lou, Hua Lang was pushed by everyone, and finally came to Le Ya Lou.

When they came to Le Ya Lou, many people had already arrived, and they were surrounded by Prince Duan Suxing's people, after Hua Lang and a few of them walked in, they found Li Liang kneeling on the ground, with a begging face, but Hua Lang swept around, and found that Dudu Luo Baixu was not present, Hua Lang looked at Duan Suxing and asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can send someone to call Lord Luo Baixu Luo?" ”

Prince Duan Suxing was a little puzzled and asked, "What do you want him to do?" ”

Hua Lang smiled: "If Lord Luo is missing today, this play is not easy to sing, so please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to call him." ”

Duan Suxing didn't have much doubt about Hua Lang's words, so he sent someone to call Luo Baixu, and after Luo Baixu came, Hua Lang began to solve the mystery today.

Everyone sat in the hall on the first floor of Le Ya Lou, Bao Zheng Wen Yan Bo Hua Lang and several of them sat together, Duan Suxing and Miss Hui Qiong sat together, Mother Chen and Li Liang Luo Baixu and they were together, after sitting down like this, Hua Lang got up and said: "On the night after Miss Hui Qiong was taken by His Royal Highness the Prince, there was a sudden murder in Le Ya Building, and the top girl of Le Ya Building was strangled to death by Ruyan, and when this matter was discovered by Mother Chen, Miss Hui Qiong was in the house preparing to escape. ”

Hua Lang stopped at this point, he swept around the crowd, and then continued: "I was ordered to investigate the case, and found a fish-shaped jade pendant in the room of Miss Ruyan, that fish-shaped jade pendant is very valuable, and later after investigation, I learned that it was a tribute jade pendant, but the jade pendant was exchanged for by Lord Li Liang Li. ”

When he said this, everyone turned their eyes on Li Liang, and Li Liang at this time seemed extremely nervous, wanting to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Hua Lang continued: "Ruyan girl was killed, we speculate that she may have discovered the secret of the jade pendant, so she threatened Li Liang with the jade pendant, and asked Master Li to give her benefits, Li Liang is an official of the imperial court, although he is high, but the secret of the jade pendant can indeed be the tower, so he has to obey the orders of the Ruyan girl, but Li Liang will always obey the orders of a Qinglou woman, presumably he wants to kill the Ruyan girl." ”

Speaking of this, Li Liang suddenly said: "I really want to kill Ruyan, but I didn't kill her, at that time I was wearing a jade pendant to play in Le Ya Lou, and accidentally fell on the bed of Ruyan for a while, she heard the origin of the jade pendant from somewhere, so she blackmailed me many times, so I didn't dare to come to Le Ya Lou to play, but even so, I really didn't kill Ruyan, you must believe me." ”

For Li Liang's words, Hua Lang just smiled, and then continued: "At that time, Miss Huiqiong was about to run out of Miss Ruyan's room, so she was the most likely murderer, but later Miss Huiqiong said that she went to Miss Ruyan's room just to get back a folding fan of her own, and I believed what Miss Huiqiong said at the beginning, but when we looked for it in Miss Ruyan's room, we didn't find the folding fan, and the day after we searched Ruyan's room, a turtle slave named Du Quan died, When we found out that Du Quan was dead, we went to Ruyan's room again, but in Ruyan's room, we found the folding fan again, and later confirmed by Ruyan's girl, this was given to Huiqiong by Lord Luo Baixuluo, Lord Luo, is this so? ”

Luo Baixu is indeed a very old man as Miss Huiqiong said, and his eyes are very small, and when he laughs, he is almost like squinting, which makes people think that he is a very lustful old man.

At this time, Luo Baixu was asked by Hua Lang, he nodded again and again, and said, "That's right, that fan is indeed what I gave to Miss Huiqiong." ”

"Is that really the case?"

"Of course it is!"

"Then can you explain why we didn't find this folding fan the first time, but found it again the second time?"

Hearing this, Luo Baixu suddenly became a little angry, and said: "I'm not a detective, how do I know what's going on, maybe you didn't look very carefully for the first time." ”

Hua Lang shook his head with a smile and said, "Fei Ye, we looked very carefully for the first time, and the reason why this happened was because the folding fan was taken away by Du Quan's turtle slave at the beginning, because he knew whose fan it was, and he wanted to use that fan to extort money, but he felt that it was not safe to put it on himself or at home, so after the servants withdrew, he put the fan in the room of the girl like smoke again, because no one would have thought that the house that had been searched many times would suddenly have an extra thing." ”
