Chapter 659 Promotion and Fortune

"What do you want?" Wei Zhongxian glanced at him: "I think this is very good, it is a material, and it can be used."

After saying this, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Transfer him to Dongchang, and give him a seat in charge."

"Father?" Zhao Jingzhong looked puzzled, a guy who had only entered the palace not long ago, just rewarded him with a job as the head of the class, in his opinion, the reward was too high.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"My child dare not."

After staying by Wei Zhongxian's side for so long, how could he not be able to figure out what his master wanted. Speaking of this, he certainly knew what to do.

...

In the afternoon, Lin Yue received a document from the Supervisor of Rituals, asking him to go to the East Factory to be an servant.

He was not surprised that Wei Zhongxian had such an arrangement, because it was his intention to go to greet the relatives with great fanfare in the morning.

According to historical records, after Emperor Chongzhen dismissed Wei Zhongxian from his official position, this guy even brought a group of people across the market to give eye drops to the new emperor. Waiting for the day when Wei Zhongxian fell from power, at this time, he played up the appearance of climbing the factory boss Qingyun, flattering Wei Zhongxian, and encouraging the eunuchs to the outside world.

Let me give you a simple example. A certain big director had a falling out with a celebrity he had made popular. At this time, a newcomer whose acting skills and good looks are on the line speaks out in support, regardless of how the audience discusses this matter, at least The big director will be very happy, and the right role will definitely give it a chance.

It doesn't sound good to spread it like this, but Lin Yue doesn't care at all, because compared to the sex blessings of the rest of his life, fame, wealth, status, word of mouth, etc. are all floating clouds, as long as the system doesn't force him to kill ordinary people, Tu Guang couldn't even blink his eyes for those civil servants, generals, foreign relatives, eunuchs in Tu Guang's court.

After buying rice, noodles, and meat, and hired a woman in her forties nearby to do some heavy work of chopping firewood and carrying water, Lin Yue told Zhou Miaotong that she had gone to work, and left the house to go to the East Factory Yamen.

After arriving at the destination, he received the badge of the leader, and was familiarizing himself with the working environment, when he heard someone talking outside, saying that people from the Fusi Yamen in Nanzhen were investigating the eunuch of Ling Zongqi and the murder of five Tiqi. The yard is somewhat involved with a father-in-law of the internal officer.

Of course there is something involved, because that small courtyard is one of Guo Zhen's properties. As the old saying goes, there are three caves for cunning rabbits. How could a person who dared to harm even the emperor not leave more escape routes for himself.

Lin Yue thought for a while, found the eunuch on duty, and told the eunuch that he had something to see the factory owner.

Xu Shi heard about his deeds from his colleagues, and the eunuch on duty did not dare to neglect, so he hurried inside to report.

After half a stick of incense, Lin Yue saw Wei Zhongxian standing under the eaves playing with the birds.

"I heard you have something important to report?"

"Yes, the factory owner." Lin Yue said: "My subordinates heard that people from Nanzhen Fusi were killed in Chaling General Banner."

"Is there something wrong?" Wei Zhongxian asked without looking back.

Lin Yue said: "This subordinate usually drinks a lot. Before entering the palace, he often hangs around the wine shop. He has seen Pei Lun, a hundred households of Fusi in Nanzhen, drink with Yin Cheng, a small banner official in Fusi of Beizhen. Since he hurt President Ling, Banner's thief was in the same gang as Yin Cheng, would it be inappropriate to leave this matter to Pei Baihu for investigation? Moreover, just the night before Ling Zongqi was killed, a homicide occurred in Jinling Building, and all the shopkeepers and waiters were killed. Eunuch Guo Zhen also went missing that day, and his subordinates asked the servant who was driving the car afterwards, and they were told that Eunuch Guo Zhen went to Jinling Tower after the murder and never came out again.”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian became interested, turned to look at him and said, "Your mind is turning very fast."

"Because my subordinates are very concerned about the whereabouts of Guo Zhen's father-in-law, so they think a little more."

"You like investigating cases so much? It seems that I did the right thing by transferring you to Dongchang." Wei Zhongxian turned around again, and gently poked the parrot in the cage with a wicker. Do not open your mouth to speak.

"How about this, you take two people with Pei Lun to see if there is anything suspicious during his investigation. If you find something important, come back and report it immediately."

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand in a disinterested manner, seemingly unable to do anything about that stiff-mouthed bird.

"Master."

"Why don't you leave?"

"I think the factory owner likes parrots."

"What do you want to say?"

"My subordinate met a seventy-year-old man in the street market yesterday. He has a green-haired parrot in his hand, which is very intelligent. When passers-by talk, the old man can learn it by repeating it three or five times."

"Is there such a thing?"

Lin Yue nodded: "If the factory owner likes it, the subordinates will go to the old man to ask for a bird."

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he seemed to be more interested in hearing about the relationship between Pei Lun and Yin Cheng: "Go quickly, go quickly, you must buy the parrot, just tell me how much money you need, and I will ask the treasurer to help you withdraw it." .”

"This subordinate will do it."

Lin Yue resigned and walked out of the Dongchang yamen.

It is true that the green-haired parrot is very intelligent, but there is no such thing as an old man. He saw Wei Zhongxian unsuccessfully teasing the parrot, and suddenly thought of a green-haired parrot that loves to show off his presence in his portable space. He brought it here before to prevent it from appearing What happened in the last comeback, I didn't expect that it would come in handy by mistake.

It can be used to please Wei Zhongxian, and it can also serve as a surveillance effect. Why not do it? As for whether this product will be plucked and deboned, it will be stewed into a pot of soup... Hey, why do I get excited when I think of this?

After leaving the yamen, he pretended to wander around the south of the city, found a place where no one was around, and released the big villain. After admonishing him, he returned to the East Factory, where the treasury officer withdrew a thousand taels of silver.

Wei Zhongxian saw that the big villain was really as he said, once he was taught, he would be able to learn, and he even said that the deal was worthwhile, it was too worthwhile.

Lin Yue also felt that it was worth it, so he took the money and put an eye on Wei Zhongxian's side, how nice it is.

...

The next day, he brought two officers to the yard where Ling Yunkai was cut off, and met Pei Lun, a hundred households in Nanzhen Fusi.

There was a stench in the room, and there were black blood spots on the ground.

"Leader Lin, your tolerance is very good." Pei Lun said as he walked out.

Hey, this guy is fine, try him out as soon as you meet him.

"There's a butcher next door to my house. If you've seen a lot of beatings, you won't be afraid."

"Oh." Pei Lun said: "Leader Lin has only been in the palace for a few months, and he has been appreciated by Eunuch Wei. If he is transferred to the East Factory, he will surely become famous in time."

Lin Yue said, "Pei Baihu is very well informed."

"No, I just heard the people below talk about the wonderful people and wonderful things that happened in Fangsi Hutong recently, so I asked a few more words."

"So I'm a celebrity now?"

"Of course."

The two came outside the hospital, and the steward brought over two chairs. Lin Yue changed the topic to the case of Ling Yunkai's attack.

"Have you found anything?"

"According to Ling Zongqi, the murderer had a palm-sized birthmark on his left face. He was very skilled. Although there was an element of a sneak attack in it, he killed three Tiqi in one face-to-face, subdued him, and put him in the Jinyiwei. He is definitely a first-class master.”

"Why did that person attack President Ling?"

"I think it's to avenge Yin Cheng and create a chance to get out of the city."

Lin Yue nodded, and pretended to sweep across the courtyard: "I heard that this courtyard is related to Mr. Guo Zhen?"

"According to the previous head of the household, the yard was sold to Liu Kun, who runs a silk shop in the south of the city. Later, I sent someone to ask, and Liu Kun said that Eunuch Guo asked him to hold it on his behalf. What I can't figure out is that the murderer chose it by mistake. This courtyard is set up for Ling Zongqi, or is he someone that Eunuch Guo knows, if it is the latter, why does Eunuch Guo protect Yin Cheng, and what is his motive?"

Lin Yue said, "Maybe I can give you a clue."

"how to say?"

"You should know that before I came to Dongchang, I was working in the Inner Prison. Once when I was cleaning Eunuch Guo's study, I found Mr. Beizhai's painting on his desk."

"Beizhai..." Pei Lun looked thoughtful, "Do you suspect that Eunuch Guo is involved with the Donglin Party?"

Lin Yue said: "Today I went to the eunuch to inquire. The eunuch who sent Eunuch Guo to Jinling Tower said that he was on a date with someone. Then, I took someone to his house and found this note. "

As he spoke, he took out a piece of letter paper from his pocket and gently unfolded it, pushing it in front of Pei Lun.

The letter "Youshi, Mingshifang, Jinling Tower, Zhuanhou Gonggong."

There is a seal on the bottom with the inscription Mr. Hokusai.

"If that's the case, then it makes sense." Pei Lun knocked the ashes in his copper pipe on the ground and held it in his mouth: "Eunuch Guo hasn't shown up since the Jinling Tower murder, and he doesn't know what his situation is now. Yes, if we want to find out the relationship between the two of them and the whereabouts of Eunuch Guo, it seems that we can only find Mr. Beizhai."

He summoned Tiqi who was waiting next to him, gave some instructions in a low voice, and Tiqi turned around and left.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ti Qi returned, walked up to Pei Lun and whispered in his ear.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his expression change slightly, Lin Yue asked curiously.

Pei Lun didn't reply in a hurry, got up from the chair, and told the accompanying Xiaoqi to draw people to follow him.

"Master Lin, I know why you came here. If you are interested, why not follow me."

"good."

Lin Yue slapped his knees, stood up, and followed Pei Lun out of the courtyard with two servants.

After half an hour.

Nancheng White Paper Square.

Lin Yue got down from his horse, and really wanted to say to the human being sitting on the stone bench in front of him, "The play is not bad."

Shen Lian, a member of Jinyiwei Baihu, was wearing a black armor, with a thick white cloth wrapped around his left shoulder, with blood stains visible to the naked eye.

Pei Lun walked over with two of his subordinates: "Shen Baihu, Pei Lun, Fusi in Xianan Town, this is the Lin Zhang of the East Factory."

Shen Lian glanced at the two of them, with a puzzled expression on his face: "The matter here shouldn't be under the supervision of Nanzhen Fusi, right?"

The Jinyiwei system has two major organizations, the North and the North Town Fusi. The Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for Jinyiwei's internal legal affairs, military discipline and other matters, and the Beizhen Fusi has greater powers. The cases specifically assigned by the emperor are to monitor the people, collect intelligence, and manufacture firearms... The organization has an imperial prison, which can directly carry out investigation, interrogation, judgment and disposal without going through the Ministry of Punishment. Division, the status of the two is also one high and one low.

That's why Pei Lun laughed at himself in the movie that he used to be Shen Lian's colleague, but because of his braids, he was caught by someone and demoted to Nanzhen Fusi to be on duty. Although the rank of Baihu has not changed, the actual power has dropped.

"Oh, that's right. The Zhenfu envoy asked me to investigate the matter of Ling Zongqi being harmed by Yin Cheng and his gangsters. During the investigation, it was found that Mr. Bei Zhai might be related, so I asked someone to check the whereabouts of the painter, and learned that Brother Shen was arresting him. Mr. Beizhai was ambushed, so Pei wanted to come here to see if there were any clues."

As Pei Lun spoke, he took out a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.

"Rong Yuezhai's dim sum, I bought it when I came here, would you like a piece?"

Shen Lian shook his head.

Pei Lun looked at Lin Yue: "Where is Master Lin?"

Lin Yue was not polite to him, and took a piece from the tray held by Tiqi and tasted it: "It's a bit greasy."

Pei Lun smiled, didn't say anything, and looked at the wound on Shen Lian's shoulder: "Is it a knife wound? Isn't it the Xiuchun knife?"

"What does Master Pei mean?"

"Don't get me wrong." Pei Lun said, "I heard that on the night of the homicide in Jinling Tower, you had a very unpleasant quarrel with Yin Cheng, the flag officer under your command. The person who attacked you last night must not be him."

Shen Lian's face paled slightly: "That person is not Yin Cheng."

"So sure?"

"You also said that Yin Cheng is my little banner officer. Does Mr. Pei know him better than I do?"

"Just asking, don't be angry." Pei Lun smiled and glanced back at Lin Yue.

Oh, Pei Lun can do it.

Thinking about it, when Shen Lian heard the phrase "It's not the Xiuchun knife", he would definitely not be at peace.

Others may not know it, but Lin Yue knows it well, the wound on Shen Lian's shoulder is Xiuchun's knife wound, or he cut it himself.

In the movie, Lu Wenzhao wanted to kill Beizhai after killing Guo Zhen, and ordered Ling Yunkai to do it. Shen Lian, driven by curiosity, voluntarily went with him because he liked Mr. Beizhai's paintings very much.

The two of them entered Beizhai's living room under the cover of night. After some searching, they found that the painter who dared to satirize Wei Zhongxian was a woman, and a beautiful woman. What's more interesting was that when Shen Lian came back from Yong'an Temple, it was raining. The woman held an umbrella for him.

Ling Yunkai felt that it was a pity that such a beautiful woman had been hacked with a knife, and wanted to be happy before doing it, but Shen Lian couldn't bear it, and asked him to stop when enough was enough, but Ling Yunkai wrote down the content of "Shen Lian secretly communicated with the rebellious party" in the impermanence book , Shen Baihu was completely angered, the two fought, and ended in Ling Yunkai's death, while Beizhai took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the residence.

After he entered the world of "Embroidered Spring Knife", he changed Yin Cheng's fate. Naturally, there was no such thing as Shen Lian going to Yong'an Temple to seek Master Jinghai's salvation for Yin Cheng, and the incidental encounter with Bei Zhai was also missing.

Knowing that Lu Wenzhao sent Shen Lian to kill Beizhai, Lin Yue hid on the roof last night, ready to help her at the right time and save her life. Unexpectedly, Shen Baihu, who met Beizhai for the first time, felt soft-hearted. After hearing her story, he sent her away. After the incident, he took a knife to cut a cut on his shoulder, and then faked the scene of fighting with her to deceive him. Colleagues, clear your suspicions.

Think about it carefully, in the movie with Ling Yunkai by his side, even if Shen Lian wanted to let Beizhai go, he didn't dare to take action, until the aggressive Ling Zongqi drove him to a dead end before violently killing him, and chasing Beizhai in the rain behind He was afraid that she would spread the word about the cause of Ling Yunkai's death.

Here, Shen Lian came to perform the task alone, so there is a lot of room for manipulation. Whether to kill Beizhai or let him go is entirely up to him. Since he cares so much about Beizhai's calligraphy and painting in the movie, it is understandable to keep people under the knife here. .

However, after Beizhai left, Lin Yue made a small move, intentionally breaking a tile, alerting Shen Baihu.

So today Pei Lun almost forced his subordinates to death in order to ridicule Shen Lian, and asked him if the injury on his shoulder was caused by the Xiuchun knife, that's why his reaction was so big.

"Leader Lin, let's go and have a look inside?" Pei Lun greeted Lin Yue and walked into the house.

There is a wooden case right opposite the gate, and on the left is a bookshelf. Calligraphy, painting books and study objects have fallen all over the floor. The ink in the inkstone has also been spilled. There were bloodstains scattered everywhere.

Shen Lian really put his heart into it, anyone who saw this scene would come to the conclusion that there was a fight here.

Pei Lun picked up the seal on the ground, looked at it, handed it to Lin Yue for inspection, went to the back room, walked around, and sniffed near the window: "Smell of powder?"

After saying this, he walked up to Tiqi who was holding the file in his hand, had to go through the file, looked at it twice, and frowned slightly.

"Brother Shen, did you see a woman staying in the house when you came last night?"

Shen Lian shook his head.

"That's weird." Pei Lun took two steps back and forth, as if finding something suspicious, he raised his head and stared at a certain area of ​​the roof for a long time.

"It was raining in the city before Yinshi last night, right?"

The accompanying Tiqi nodded and said yes.

"Let's go, Master Lin."

He turned around and left the room, said goodbye to Shen Lian with a smile, got on his horse and marched into the city.

"It seems that Shen Baihu is hiding something."

"oh?"

"I've got to check him out."

Lin Yue said, "Is there a direction?"

Pei Lun said: "When I was drinking with Yin Cheng before, I heard him mention that Shen Baihu and Master Jinghai are good friends. This place... is not far from Yong'an Temple."

Lin Yue nodded secretly, this Pei Lun is indeed smart and has strong observation skills.

"Are you drinking with Yin Cheng?"

Pei Lun glanced back at him, and said with a smile: "Steward Lin, don't be joking. Isn't it because of this incident that Dongchang sent people to follow the case?"

"You're more honest than I thought."

"That's natural. I don't want to offend Eunuch Wei. It's not a big deal if you lose your job. If your head moves, it's not good."

Lin Yue took a deep look at him, and shouted "drive", the horse suddenly accelerated, and Gada Gada ran forward.

...

At nightfall, Lin Yue weighed a catty of beef and half a bag of peanuts in Qianjie, and returned home with two taels of wine.

Opening the door, Zhou Miaotong was kneeling on the bamboo mat next to the dining table, with a lamp in front of him, and next to him were two vegetarian dishes, a plate of scrambled eggs, and two bowls of white rice, but it was already cold, and it looked like he couldn't wait. less time.

"You're back."

Lin Yue nodded, walked over and sat down, put the beef, peanuts and flagon in the oil paper on the table, picked up the bowl and picked up two bowls of rice.

"The food is cold, let me warm it up for you."

"No need." Lin Yue stopped her, picked up the jug and poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it with a bang, and threw a peanut into his mouth when he was done.

"The beef in Deyuelou is well marinated, much better than Chengnan Hongyunlou. Try it."

Zhou Miaotong didn't move, just stared at him.

It has been two days since he brought her back, but he has not done the perverted behavior that the eunuchs might do in the rumors. If he hadn't known his identity, and put her in another time period and another occasion, it would be impossible to tell that he was a eunuch.

Seeing that she didn't eat, Lin Yue didn't insist. A piece of beef, a piece of scrambled eggs with chopsticks, a piece of cucumber, and a sip of wine every now and then, didn't feel too cold. He quickly ate most of the food on the table.

A quarter of an hour later, we were full of wine and food.

Zhou Miaotong stood up and took the dishes off the table, made another pot of tea and brought it to the table.

Lin Yuexin said that in modern society, regardless of her background, whoever wants to marry this kind of daughter-in-law is really virtuous in her ancestors and will shade future generations.

"Go to bed early, I have to go out later." Lin Yue said while drinking tea.

Zhou Miaotong put down the copper needle used to light the lamp, looked at his face and said, "Is there a case to be dealt with at such a late hour?"

Lin Yue nodded and took a sip of tea.

"You don't seem to hate me?"

Zhou Miaotong said: "It wasn't you who killed my father, and it wasn't you who copied my house."

She took a look at the furnishings in the room. On the north wall of the living room, there was a painting with the words "Quiet and far-reaching" written on it. Virtue carries things."

"I was lying on the bed last night, listening to the sound of rain outside, and suddenly felt that you, like those who built Wei Zhongxian's shrine, just wanted to live a more comfortable life. When I was young, my father said that a good environment can change people. A person can become a virtuous person, and a bad environment can turn a person into a ghost.”

Lin Yue glanced at her in surprise. As expected of a lady from an official family, her words were indeed more insightful than ordinary people.

"You're more educated than I thought."

Zhou Miaotong picked up the teapot and poured him a full cup: "Actually, I have always had a question, but I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

Lin Yue looked at her and said, "What's the problem? Tell me."
