Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

Chapter 128 5.20 Qiu Jian

Tang Wuyi and Wen Tao walked out of the room where Chun Xiban was held, and went to the other room where Qiu Jian was held.

"Zhao Er was not beaten to death, so Qiu Jian is not the murderer, but I still have something to ask him, you can go in with me." Tang Wuyi said.

The two pushed the door open, and Qiu Jian was meditating in the corner.He was born to be a general, with broad shoulders and a round waist, a square face, and piercing eyes. Seeing that it was the two of them, he ignored them and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.Tang Wuyi knew that Qiu Jian was pulled up by Li Shu.Today's Shence Army is half of Li Shu's former Zhuque Army, and half is the old Tiance Army. Although it has been generally harmonious in recent years, there is still a difference between the Sparrow Sect and the Sky Sect in private. The leader of the Sparrow Sect is naturally Qiu Jian , because his subordinates were dissatisfied with Qiu Jian's official rank lower than Tang Wuyi, they always competed secretly with the soldiers of the Tian faction, and Qiu Jian himself would not give Tang's children any good looks.Yesterday in the main hall, only a commoner died, if it wasn't in front of all the officials, why would Li Shu mobilize people to investigate this matter thoroughly?Thinking of this, Qiu Jian couldn't help regretting and hating, regretting that she was impulsive after drinking, accidentally killed someone, hated that she was in prison now, and wanted to let the children of the Tang family investigate her thoroughly.He still didn't know about Tang Jingxiao's death, so he only had disgust and indifference towards Tang Wuyi at the moment.

"General Jian." Tang Wuyi cupped his fists, performing a military salute in the army.

Qiu Jian snorted lightly, but did not answer.

"Tang believes that the general has been wronged." Tang Wuyi cut to the chase.Sure enough, the words worked, Qiu Jian suddenly opened her eyes, and looked at Tang Wuyi suspiciously.

"Tang believes that the general was wronged." Tang Wuyi repeated, and continued, "If the general cooperates with Tang, the truth will be revealed in a short time."

"How do you know I've been wronged?" Qiu Jian asked.

It is inconvenient for Tang Wuyi to speak directly about the results of the autopsy. What is more important at this moment is to gain Qiu Jian's trust and obtain his testimony.He explained, "Yesterday, Tang X was also in the Linde Hall. Tang X could see clearly when the general shot, and the location of the attack was not fatal, so Tang X thought there was something strange about this matter, but a thorough investigation still needs to be done. General's assistance."

"What do you want to ask?" Qiu Jian also cut to the point.

"Yesterday, why did the general take action at the shadow puppet show in Chunxi Class?"

Qiu Jian said coldly: "Their shadow puppet show is so nonsense that it stains His Majesty's eyes."

"According to Tang, the plot of "Double Dragon Captures the Pearl" is novel and unique, interlocking with each other, and it is a rare work that does not follow the mold." Tang Wuyi deliberately pretended to be ignorant and praised.

"Hmph, insinuation..." Just after saying two words, Qiu Jian suddenly shut up, closed her eyes and stopped speaking.

"General," Tang Wuyi was not reconciled, "I hope the general will tell the truth so that we can find out the real culprit in this case."

But Qiu Jian just said coldly: "I am impulsive after drinking, so I have nothing to say."

"General Qiu!" Tang Wuyi raised his voice, "Don't you want to find out who is behind the scenes?"

Qiu Jian was unmoved: "I have nothing to say since I have the Holy Majesty's verdict."

Tang Wuyi saw that he couldn't get any more words from Qiu Jian, so he had to leave Dali Temple with Wen Tao first.Walking out of Dali Temple, it was already evening, the fire cloud had just dissipated, and the sky was blue and purple.Even though it was evening, the heat did not dissipate, and there was a burst of cicadas, both of them were wearing thin summer clothes, but their backs were soaked after walking a few steps.

Wen Tao grew up in the icy and snowy Kunlun, he was afraid of heat, and he was prone to allergies, redness and swelling when he sweated.Seeing this, Tang Wuyi said, "Let's find a place to eat first."

"Go to West Market?" Wen Tao's eyes lit up.

Tang Wuyi smiled and shook his head: "There are mixed people in the West Market, so I don't feel at ease, so I went to a restaurant in Chongwenfang nearby. It was opened by the old subordinate of the eldest brother, and I used to go there often."

Wen Tao recalled the thrilling experience last night, and echoed, "Yes, the situation is unclear now, so be careful." While talking, the two had already arrived at the restaurant, and the shopkeeper was obviously familiar with Tang Wuyi, and opened a private room for them. Great, they can talk with confidence.

The two sat down and were in this elegant private room. The sliding door separated the hustle and bustle downstairs, as if they felt as if they were separated from each other.It seems that since the rest before the Dragon Boat Festival, the two of them have never calmed down to have a peaceful meal.Close your eyes, you can still see the shade of the loquat tree in Dongdu Pavilion, and hear the crisp wind chimes in Wen Tao's room.At noon, the disciples of Dongdu Pavilion had finished their morning classes and were fighting in the courtyard in twos and threes. Mr. Pu came out of his room with a pale complexion. I can't help but worry.Sometimes, his eldest brother would come back from Kyoto suddenly, leading a tall horse and a few followers into the Dongdu Pavilion, asking Tang Wuyi about the current situation of the Dongdu Pavilion.Tang Wuyi thought that he could live a life like this for a long time, until the loquat tree covered the entire courtyard, until Mr. Pu was very old, until the big brother and grandchildren were full...

Wen Tao saw that Tang Wuyi didn't speak, and he had very little food, so he said softly, "Have a bad appetite?"

Tang Wuyi woke up from the memory of Dongdu Pavilion, and once again realized that he was alone now. If he fell down, then Mr. Pu's death, the death of his eldest brother, no one would be like him again. I tried my best to find out.

"I'm fine." Tang Wuyi said, "Investigating cases requires physical strength, so let's all eat more."

Wen Tao nodded, and turned the topic back to the case: "Tang Yue, there is something wrong with "Double Dragon Captures the Pearl". It must be that some important link is involved in the plot, otherwise General Qiu would not lose control and beat people on the spot."

Tang Wuyi nodded: "I remember that when "Double Dragon Captures the Pearl" was staged, His Majesty and King Yan looked very bad."

"According to Zhao Si's confession, one day a nobleman approached Team Leader Zhao. I remember that King Qi chose the folk theater troupe for the Dragon Boat Festival that day, so the nobleman who went to Team Leader Zhao was King Qi?" Wen Tao recalled. Take a look at the testimony just recorded.

"Not necessarily." Tang Wuyi said, "The body of King Qi's daughter is usually just to let the people under him go to the West Market to search and have a look, and have a last look at it ourselves, but we can look for opportunities to ask around."

Wen Tao nodded in agreement, and settled the rest of the food on the table.Tang Wuyi specially ordered the ebony juice chilled with well water specially provided by Xia Ri, and the two of them felt refreshed after drinking it.They had been busy for a whole day, meeting the Holy Majesty to receive orders, dissecting the corpse, and interrogating Chun Xiban and Qiu Jian, and they were exhausted by now.

When the two walked out of the restaurant, Wen Tao suddenly remembered something and said, "Is this place in Chongwenfang?"

"Yes." Tang Wuyi didn't know why, "What's wrong?"

"The bookstore where Zhao Er collected drama books is right here." Wen Tao never forgot, although he said before that he wanted to check that bookstore, but Tang Wuyi had already forgotten about it after a day, and now Wen Tao reminded him, His eyes lit up and he said, "Let's go!"
