Chapter 33 The Mystery of the Brocade Box
In the early morning, a few unknown birds stopped and chirped on the trees in the Shangzhu Garden.
Feng Yan was so upset that he was not upset. He picked up a stone and threw it on the tree. The birds flew everywhere in shock.
Yun Yi walked into the garden. At this time, the door of the house opened. Young Master Jinlan appeared at the door.
"Young Master! Master, please invite me!" Yun Yi bowed.
Young Master Jinlan glanced at Roxin's door, and then walked out of Shangzhuyuan.
Feng Yan knocked on the window edge of Rouxin, and Rouxin woke up from her sleep.
Prince Jinlan came to the Master's house and sat down. Yun Yi brought it to the tables of Master Jinlan as soon as possible.
The master walked in. Young Master Jinlan started eating on his own.
The Master was not surprised. He sat behind several cases and looked at Gongzi Jinlan.
Rouxin came outside the house. Feng Yan glared at her dissatisfiedly. She was quite diligent in the mansion, but she became lazy when she went out!
"What's the matter?" Young Master Jinlan wiped his hands and looked at the old master.
Yun Yi had already ordered someone to clean up the dishes. Then he put the brocade box dug out under the bamboo roots in the yard last night on Gongzi Jinlan's table.
Young Master Jinlan looked carefully at the patterns on the brocade box. Then he gently opened the box.
In the box are some bamboo slips with strange words engraved. Gongzi Jinlan did not recognize the characters on it.
"This brocade box was found in the bamboo forest in the garden! Thanks to your guard Feng Yan."
"Is there someone dead in the academy recently?" Young Master Jinlan picked up the teacup and held it in front of him and looked at it.
"How did you know?" Yun Yi, who was standing by the door, was surprised!
"Yun Yi! Don't be rude!" The old master shouted lightly.
"His death must be related to this brocade box. Someone wanted to ask for this brocade box. He had no choice but to bury the brocade box under the Master's nose. Because the matter was urgent, he dug the soil with his bare hands and broke his fingers. Because he had been squatting for too long, he helped the root of the bamboo beside him. His blood was left there!" Gongzi Jinlan's speculation made the Master admire him.
"The deceased is one of my disciples, named Li Sheng. However, he doesn't like writing books and writings in normal times, so he came to my academy just by being a sensible person. If this brocade box is his, it must be his ancestors or someone entrusted him with him." The old master's analysis was not unreasonable.
"We must first understand the words on this bamboo piece. Secondly, we must check Li Sheng's family background and relatives and friends." Gongzi Jinlan drank all the tea in the cup. The words on this bamboo piece aroused his curiosity.
"Yun Yi! Can you hear it clearly?" the Master ordered.
"Yes! Students will do it now!" Yun Yi bowed and then withdrew.
"Young Master might as well spend a few days here to resolve your doubts?" The Master had already seen the thoughts of Young Master Jinlan.
"Okay!" Gongzi Jinlan was very satisfied with the Master of Jinling Academy.
It took Yun Yi two days to find out that Li Sheng was an orphan and was raised by his adoptive father. After his adoptive father died, he inherited all his family business.
He doesn't have many friends, only two. One is Liang Zicheng from the college; the other is Jiang Yi, who has been playing with him since childhood.
Yun Yi came to Juxin Pavilion. The Master was playing chess with Prince Jinlan. He reported Li Sheng's situation to the two.
"Call Liang Zicheng to see you!" The old master held Bai Zi in his hand and didn't know where to play. He probably lost this game of chess.
The chess game reopened! Liang Zicheng has arrived! But the old master's eyes are only staring at the chessboard.
"Master!" Liang Zicheng bowed and bowed.
The young master Jinlan's plan is very large, and this time the old master is working every step.
Liang Zizheng saw that the master had not moved for a long time, so he looked up and took a sneak peek.
"Teacher! Liang Zicheng has arrived!" Yun Yi said softly. The old master was still looking at the chessboard.
"Tell me! Why kill Li Sheng!" Young Master Jinlan left a son.
Liang Zicheng's body shook. Yun Yi and the Master looked at Gongzi Jinlan at the same time.
In the past two days, Feng Yan went to check Li Sheng's childhood friend. He found that Jiang Yi was an honest man. And when talking about Li Sheng's death, he looked very sad.
Feng Yan went to investigate Zhang Zhiwen, who was in the same room as Li Sheng. According to Zhang Zhiwen, Li Sheng had a falling out with Liang Zicheng before his death. However, he had drunk wine with Liang Zicheng the day before his death.
Feng Yan went to the restaurant where the two of them drank as ordered by Gongzi Jinlan. He learned through the restaurant's servant who delivered vegetables that they had quarreled during the meal.
"Do you suspect Liang Zicheng killed Li Sheng? But we have already checked that Li Sheng died of heart vein failure. His heart vein had been severely damaged before!" The master looked at Gongzi Jinlan.
"Only he has the motive to kill!" Gongzi Jinlan fell down the chess piece.
How could the old master have the heart to play chess? Someone in his school actually killed someone!
"Take him down and interrogate him carefully! Don't disturb the government!" The old master put the chess piece in his hand into the chess box.
"Yes!" Yun Yi took Liang Zicheng away.
"Is the words on the bamboo slip fall into place?" Young Master Jinlan looked at the old master intently.
"There is an old scholar in Lujiang County, about eighty years old. He has a lot of research on writing."
"I'm about to go to Lujiang, so let me leave this matter!" Young Master Jinlan looked at his hands.
"Of course it's the best! I'll ask Yun Yi to send the brocade box in a while!" The old master was so happy that he threw out the hot potato.
"Be sure to be optimistic about Liang Zicheng. This matter is not simple!" Young Master Jinlan got up and left after saying that.
Incense was lit in the house of Gongzi Jinlan in Shangzhu Garden. Gongzi Jinlan walked to the door and smelled the incense. He frowned and said to Rou, "Open the window and extinguish the incense!"
Rouxin quickly entered the room and put out the incense. Feng Yan opened all the windows in the room. Young Master Jinlan stood at the door and looked at the full moon in the sky.
"Young Master! This is a brocade box! Put it away!" Yun Yi took the brocade box over.
Feng Yan handed the brocade box to Gongzi Jinlan's hand. Gongzi Jinlan opened the box and took a look and handed it to Feng Yan.
"Should keep it! Don't lose it!"
"Yes!" Feng Yan put the brocade box in his arms.
"Tomorrow morning, the Master asked the Master to take care of himself, and he would not send him off." Yun Yi conveyed the old Master's meaning.
Young Master Jinlan said nothing and turned around and entered his room.
Rouxin was making tea for him. Young Master Jinlan found Rouxin's face flushed.
"Feng Yan! Check who has come in in the afternoon!"
"Yes!" Feng Yan's eyelids couldn't help but jump.
"have eaten!"
When Rouxin brought the tea to Gongzi Jinlan, she saw a small porcelain bottle on Gongzi Jinlan's table.
Rouxin didn't notice anything unusual about her. She didn't know what pills Mr. Jinlan gave her. But after a while, she fell asleep on the tea table.
"Young Master! She came in in the afternoon!" Feng Yan walked in with a woman in green.
"Put her into Rouxin's house and watch!" Young Master Jinlan ordered.
"Yes!" Feng Yan pointed the woman's acupoint and took it away.
Young Master Jinlan looked at the sky and it was almost midnight. The sky was a little cool. The oil lamps on the table also began to turn light and dark.
