Chapter 18 Chapter Thirteen

The sun was shining in the east, and the sky was getting brighter. Minister Di got up to wash his hands.He went to the courtyard and looked at the sky. The yellow clouds were low, the fog was thick, and there was no breeze.It seems that there will still be no rain on this day, and the plague-stricken capital has begun another sultry, dry and suffocating day. The waiter brought the freshly brewed Biluochun tea, and Di Gong took a sip, feeling refreshed and delighted.After one cup, I feel completely irritable and refreshed.He was about to pour the second cup when Qiao Tai went into the inner office to report.

"Four gangsters from the corpse collection team broke into the home of a widow whose husband had just died in Shengyefang, Xicheng City in the middle of the night, insulted the widow and her two daughters, and were captured by the patrol. I obeyed the master's order and took the four criminals to cremation factory, beheaded them in front of more than 300 corpse collection teams, and announced the master's will: Anyone who takes advantage of danger to rob and insult women will be severely punished." Digong nodded. Ma Rong and Tao Gan entered the inner office. Ma Rong happily reported last night's adventure to Di Gong.After hearing this, Duke Di clapped his hands and said yes.Said: "Sure enough, as I expected, He Peng was waiting for Shan Shan last night. Ma Rong, if you think about it carefully, will Miss Lanbai deliberately play tricks to cover up the truth?"

Ma Rong said solemnly: "Master, how is this possible? Besides, Miss Lanbai jumped into the river to play in the middle of the night, couldn't it? She met me to rescue her, otherwise there would be a floating corpse in the canal." Di Gong nodded and said: "Since Lan Bai said that Yuan Yutang and He Peng have an unfinished business case, Yuan Yutang must be able to tell us a lot about He Peng. Where are her father and daughter living now?" "Lanbai's house is in the alley behind Guandi Temple - she told me herself. Master, she also made an appointment to meet me at Wufu Restaurant at noon."

Di Gong said: "After your meeting, bring her and her father, Yuan Yutang, to the Yamen Office to see me. Now you can take a few soldiers and go to Liuyuan to arrest He Peng." Ma Rong withdrew from the inner office. The records of the government office came in to report. "According to the master's instructions, I checked Chang'an Fangsi and the various courtyards and Goulan opened by Gupi, but I didn't see the name Shanhu. The capital of each courtyard did not know that a woman like Shanhu appeared in the fireworks field. At the same time, according to the report, Ye Kuilin hadn't been to any courthouse to make appointments for dancing girls and singing girls for half a month. He had been the most luxurious client in the fireworks field in the capital for many years. Therefore, I thought that the coral that the master was looking for must be a private prostitute. She didn't ask Registered with the palace, according to the regulations, they must be detained and imprisoned, and no more rumors and deceit, corrupt customs are allowed."

"My lord, I have also carefully checked the archives of Mrs. Mei. I also specially interrogated the old elders of various courtyards in the capital, and learned that Mrs. Mei's original name is Sapphire, and her surname is Liu. The team leader. After the sapphire was redeemed at a high price, his name was concealed, and all his life history was erased. He did not report his surname and age until he married Mr. Mei thirteen years ago when he registered for household registration. Mr. Mei came from an official family , the family style is strict, and the family members are never allowed to show their faces. From then on, few people know the trace of Sapphire, and naturally no one has checked Mrs. Cameron's background. Therefore, there are no records in the general archives. However, the humble post should remind the master of one thing: It was not Mei Liang who redeemed the sapphire at a high price."

Duke Di nodded in satisfaction.After finishing the report, Duke Di said: "Once you find any coral material registered, please report it to me immediately." The recorder agreed to quit the internal office. Di Gong lowered his head and sipped the second cup of fragrant Biluochun tea, and remained silent for a while. ——The yamen was silent for a while. Suddenly, the clerk on duty came in and reported: "Someone from Ye's residence hastened to report to the master, Mrs. Ye has committed suicide by hanging herself!"
