Chapter 805: The Whole City Hunts.

The midsummer night was no longer so hot and humid by the time the rain began.

Ye Xing and the others stayed at Cheng Huan's house until the rain stopped.

When they returned to Dugu Mansion, it was already late, the road was full of mud, and they were soaked, so after freshening up, they all went to bed.

The next day, the sun was still scorching, and the mud on the ground had dried up, and after Ye Xing and the others went to see Dugucai, Dugucai immediately sent people to arrest Cheng Huan in the whole city.

In addition to being wanted by Cheng Huan in Beiping City, Dugucai also sent people to mobilize all the officials and arresters in various states and counties under the rule of Beiping City, and he must see Cheng Huan arrested as soon as possible.

For a time, the entire city of Beiping and the nearby states and counties were full of wind and rain.

The murderer seems to be Cheng Huan.

It's just that when Cheng Huan was wanted in the whole city, Ye Xing went to meet with fellow acquaintance Zhang Dingyuan and magistrate Lin Ruosen, the two of them were very familiar with the general judge Cai Bujing, and Ye Xing suspected that Cai Bujing was related to the haunting incident at the Forbidden City construction site, so Zhang Dingyuan and Lin Ruosen were also suspicious.

At this time, Ye Xing knew very well that even if Cheng Huan was the murderer, he was just a murderous pawn, but the mastermind behind the scenes had not yet appeared, he went to see Zhang Dingyuan and Lin Ruosen, just to know who among the two could be the masterminds.

The age of both of them is not very big, thirty or forty years old, Zhang Dingyuan's figure is slightly fatter, and he will get soaked all over his body when he takes two steps in such a hot day, so he carries a folding fan with him, but he is a fat man holding a folding fan, and he feels a little nondescript.

After Zhang Dingyuan saw Ye Xing, he was very respectful, and his politeness in serving tea and water was abnormal, and after everyone sat down, Ye Xing asked directly: "I heard that Lord Zhang is very familiar with Cai Bujing, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Zhang Dingyuan saw the folding fan open and fanned slightly, nodded and said: "Everyone is an official in Beiping, and you don't see anyone who looks up when you look down, if you can usually drink and chat together, you can still be regarded as acquaintances!" ”

Listening to Zhang Dingyuan's meaning, he didn't seem to refute Cai Bujing's familiar meaning, Ye Xing saw this, and continued to ask: "Does that Lord Zhang know if Cai Bujing usually has any enemies?" ”

Zhang Dingyuan smiled slightly, and said: "King Daming asked me this question, it's a little embarrassing for me, although we are colleagues, but we are only friends with wine and meat, what enemies he has, I'm afraid he won't say it to us." ”

After the inquiry, there was not much nutritious stuff, and in the end, it could only be dismissed.

After leaving Zhang Dingyuan's mansion, Ye Xing smiled secretly and said: "This Zhang Dingyuan is not simple, but the more he is like this, the more it shows that the relationship between him and Cai Bujing is far from being as simple as a wine and meat friend, they must have done other things together, we will go to see Lin Ruosen now." ”

Lin Ruosen's figure is just right, and he can be regarded as a beautiful man, but as a small pusher, he doesn't have much real power, so no one usually scolds him, and his residence is still very simple.

After entering Lin Ruosen's room, Lin Ruosen personally served tea and water to Ye Xing and the others, and after that, Lin Ruosen asked with some puzzlement: "Why does King Daming have time to come to the cold house today?" ”

Ye Xing smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Lord Lin is very familiar with Cai Bujing, so I came here to inquire about the situation." ”

Lin Ruosen saw that Ye Xing was here to ask about Cai Bu's surprise, so he hurriedly smiled: "If King Daming has anything to ask, just ask, I know everything, but I am not as familiar with Lord Cai as King Daming imagined, so I may not know many things." ”

This Lin Ruosen put down these words first, which paved the way for him not to answer some questions later, Ye Xing saw this, and was secretly shocked in his heart, this Lin Ruosen's city was deeper than Zhang Dingyuan's.

But no matter what, Ye Xing still had to ask the question, so after Ye Xing took a shallow sip of tea, he asked, "Cai Bujing is more familiar with you and Zhang Dingyuan, does he have any other friends?" ”

Lin Ruosen didn't seem to expect Ye Xing to ask this question, he thought for a while and said: "There should be other friends, who doesn't have a few friends, but I don't know who his other friends are, after all, his friends don't mean that they are my friends!" ”

"Then you haven't heard of it at all?" Ye Xing asked curiously.

Lin Ruosen nodded: "I haven't heard of this, we usually get together just to drink and chat to pass the time, but as for his friends, we have never talked." ”

"Then I wonder what you guys usually talk about?" Ye Xing continued to ask.

Lin Ruosen smiled faintly: "It's nothing, we are all civil officials, naturally we are talking about literature, poetry, calligraphy and painting, I can't hide it, the favorite thing is calligraphy and painting." ”

This point has been seen by Ye Xing and the others since they entered Lin Ruosen's room, because Lin Ruosen's room is scratched with several calligraphy and paintings of Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, but although Ye Xing doesn't understand these calligraphy and paintings, he can also slightly see that they are not expressive enough, and they are not genuine, and a petty official like Lin Ruosen really has no money to buy authentic works.

Di Xiaojie also likes calligraphy and painting, so he didn't sit down and stop for a while as soon as he came in, just kept looking in the room, admiring the calligraphy and paintings in the room, but after Di Xiaojie looked at it, he found that most of them were fakes, and he was a little depressed, but he refused to stop there, so he looked at them one by one, and finally stopped at a painting.

It was the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" painted by Huang Gongwang, the head of the four families of the Yuan Dynasty, this painting was painted by Huang Gongwang when he was eighty-two years old for a useless teacher, and it took three or four years to paint, and the picture was very elegant and desirable.

This painting is absolutely priceless, if this painting is genuine, but it is impossible to appear in the home of a seven-grade official, but now this "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" appeared in Lin Ruosen's room, Lin Ruosen's room Many calligraphy and paintings are fakes, this "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" is very unlikely to be genuine, although Di Xiaojie thought so, but still carefully studied it, but after Di Xiaojie finished researching, he couldn't help but be surprised, from these paintings to see, this "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" It is so different from the other paintings in the room that it is very likely to be genuine.

After Di Xiaojie finished reading it, he felt faintly uneasy in his heart, he didn't know whether to say this matter or not, at this time Ye Xing was asking Lin Ruosen about Cai Bujing, although Lin Ruosen had to answer all questions, but his answer was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Seeing this, Di Xiaojie felt that it was better not to say this matter in front of Lin Ruosen, otherwise if he insisted that this "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" was a fake, he would be helpless.
