Chapter 772 Several Suspects.

Meng San was able to say that the people who were still in the house at that time had no chance to commit the crime, which showed that he was not a stupid person, but many things were not absolute, so Ye Xing still asked Meng San to write out the list of people who were present at the time.

It is also possible that someone had quietly left at that time and came to Geng Jia's room to strangle him.

After doing all this, Ye Xing took Hua Zhimeng and a few of them out of the Horse Mansion.

After leaving the Horse Mansion, Di Xiaojie asked: "Brother Ye, why don't you continue the investigation, I think that Meng San is the most problematic, how did he know that the murderer was not the subordinates of those officials who were present at the time, if it wasn't for them, then it must have been done by the people of the Horse Mansion!" ”

After Di Xiaojie finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xing, hoping to get Ye Xing's approval, but Ye Xing only smiled slightly, and said: "It's useless to ask Meng San now, Ye Xing's murderer is someone from outside, and the Horse Mansion is so big, it's easy to hide someone, so I decided to start with Geng Jia." ”

"How?" Hua Zhimeng couldn't help but ask curiously.

This question is also what other people want to know, Ye Xing saw that everyone wanted to know, so he explained: "Geng Jia, as the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, should have made a lot of enemies, so maybe we can find some clues from Geng Jia." ”

After listening to Ye Xing's words, everyone also understood a little, but it was too late today, and they needed to go back and rest.

The next day, Ye Xing went to the early court first, and the purpose of his early court was to inquire about Geng Jia's personality.

After coming to the main hall, after discussing some things, Zhu Gaochi announced his retirement from the court, but at this time, Zhu Gaochi left Yuan Rong and Ye Xing alone, and the reason was naturally the murder that occurred in Princess Yong'an's mansion.

When only the three of them were left in the main hall, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi comforted Yuan Rong and asked him to appease his imperial sister Princess Yongan after he went back.

After saying this, Yuan Rong was about to leave, but at this time, Ye Xing suddenly shouted: "Master Horse, please stay!" ”

Although Yuan Rong was angry, he didn't show it in front of the prince, but just asked, "What does King Daming have to say?" ”

Ye Xing smiled slightly: "I don't dare to be a teacher, I just have a question I want to ask the master of the horse!" ”

Yuan Rong nodded: "Excuse me!" ”

Ye Xing also asked unceremoniously: "Geng Jia, as a member of the third rank of the imperial court, must have brought an entourage to Princess Yong'an's Mansion to celebrate her birthday, why did Master Geng Jia get drunk and not be taken back to his own mansion by his entourage but temporarily stayed in the Horse Mansion?" ”

Yuan Rong's answer to this question was very simple: "Because Geng Jia didn't bring his entourage yesterday, after he got drunk, Princess Yong'an saw that he was so drunk that he couldn't even walk, so she sent someone to help him to the guest room to rest." ”

As a member of the third rank of the imperial court, it is simply strange that he did not bring an entourage, but Ye Xing's question has been asked, and Yuan Rong can leave.

After Yuan Rong left, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi asked, "How is Ye Aiqing's investigation?" ”

Ye Xing shrugged his shoulders and said, "I only started the investigation last night, and there are not many clues so far, and I came to see the prince today because I have some questions to ask." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "If there is anything, just ask!" ”

Ye Xing nodded and asked, "What is Geng Jia's relationship with the court?" ”

After listening to Ye Xing's question, Prince Zhu Gaochi paused for a moment, and then replied, "I don't know Geng Jia very well, so I'm afraid I can't answer this question." ”

Ye Xing smiled slightly, and continued to ask: "Geng Jia is only about thirty years old, and he can be regarded as a talented man in the imperial court if he can be regarded as the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, I wonder if the prince knows how he got into this position?" ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, and said: "I remembered when you said this, this Geng Jia was originally just a small local official, and later because of his outstanding achievements, he was exceptionally promoted to the Ministry of Rites, and in just two years, he has been from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Rites, from the fifth grade to the third grade, this speed of breaking and ascending is indeed very amazing, and it is also possible for him to suffer some jealousy from court officials, but if he becomes this official, I don't know, his promotion is determined by the emperor." ”

After listening to the prince's words, Ye Xing was also surprised, Geng Jia quickly became a third-grade left waiter in the Ministry of Rites from a foreign official, which was indeed not simple, and Ye Xing felt that there was a problem in it.

After leaving the palace, Ye Xing immediately took people to Geng Jia's mansion, a Zheng Sanpin official had a very good mansion in Jinling, which was not surprising at all.

At this time, the Geng Mansion was crying, and after entering the mansion, Ye Xing found that there were four or five women crying in linen and filial piety on the mourning hall, and the four or five women were all beautiful, and now they are crying with pear blossoms and rain.

And according to a servant next to Ye Xing, these four or five women are Geng Jia's concubines, Ye Xing saw that Geng Jia had married so many wives, not only was he jealous of him in his heart, he was promoted so quickly above the court, and he was also a wife like a cloud at home, this is simply a life like heaven, but now, he can no longer enjoy this kind of life.

Geng Jia's wives were still crying very much at this time, without Geng Jia, what should they do in their future lives?

After the housekeeper of the Geng Mansion said a few words to the ladies, one of the ladies stood up and came to Ye Xing, and after saying a thousand blessings, he said: "I am Geng Jia's main room Geng Clan, if the King of Daming has anything to ask, please ask!" ”

Ye Xing nodded and said, "Geng Jia went to celebrate Princess Yong'an's birthday yesterday, why didn't he bring his entourage?" ”

After listening to Ye Xing's words, Geng replied very calmly: "My husband has always disliked to bring an entourage when he goes out, he thinks it is troublesome to take an entourage, in fact, only a few of us women know why, although my husband is a member of the third grade, but he is romantic, so he always wants to steal other women, and it is very inconvenient to have an entourage to follow." ”

It can also be seen from the fact that Geng Jia has several wives, which is indeed insulting to the face of a court, but Da Ming is so big, but it is not forbidden to say that officials cannot have three wives and four concubines.

For these officials, the court even encouraged three wives and four concubines, because in this way they could increase the country's population, and the prosperity of a country could often be reflected in terms of the number of people.

After listening to Geng's words, Ye Xing continued to ask, "You live with Geng Jia, you should know who has an enmity with him, right?" ”
