18 Years Old Empress Dowager - Chapter 727
Qi Mingxuan went to court every day, but not every day he could find a chance to sneak into the harem.
He and Lin Shuqian can’t see each other often, but they also communicate with each other day, and their feelings are stable.
Now the garrison of the capital has returned to Qi Mingxuan. With the effort of reorganizing the garrison of the capital, he carefully investigated the affairs of Deputy General Chen and found out some clues.
Deputy General Chen was born in hardship. Although he had a lot of salary, his old habits remained. He was a bit frugal. His family lived in a small yard, and there was an old lady with a little servant girl and two servants.
But the person in charge of picking up the garbage and taking out the swill in that street said that a few days before the Mid Autumn Festival, Chen Fu threw out a lot more garbage from his home than usual, and there were a lot of fish and meat left to eat. It was really not Chen’s usual style.
But it’s none of his business. Maybe the Chen family has rich relatives?
So when the Ministry of punishment came to investigate the Chen family, he didn’t talk about it with the people of the Ministry of punishment. The soldiers who came back to investigate the Chen family looked polite and helped him move things, so he just chatted a little more.
Qi Mingxuan received the news, then went to find the Hu military division.
After hearing this, Hu Jun touched his chin and said, “Lao Chen is an orphan. There is no one in his wife’s family. Where are the relatives?”
“Moreover, Lao Chen is so stingy that he wants to smash a bone and suck up the bone marrow inside. How can he throw out the fish and meat he hasn’t eaten?”
Qi Mingxuan pondered, “is it the old part of the Ge family who has lived in his home?”
“No way.” Hu Junshi decisively denied this conjecture, “the yard that Lao Chen bought is small, and the house is full. No matter how many people there are, they have to lay on the floor.”
But Deputy General Chen’s family did have outsiders. Who was it?
Two guessed for a long time, but they had no idea. Finally, Hu decided to go to the neighborhood and ask.
Hu changed his linen clothes, prepared some coppers and snacks, and sat in a teahouse near Chen’s house for three days.
He really found some clues.
A peddler who often wanders around here said that he had seen three fierce looking men enter the Chen family before.
He was not far away at that time, and he heard someone in the Chen family scream, but later there was no sound, and he had the courage to pee and didn’t ask again.
After a long time, the peddler couldn’t remember them clearly. He only knew that one of them had a cut in his ear and had a clear shoulder.
Hu Junshi gave the seller a piece of silver, told him not to mention it to others, and then went back to his study.
On that day, he wrote down all the features of the assassins on the scene. Today, he came back to have a careful look, but there was no match.
Commander Hu and Qi Mingxuan together again. Is it difficult for Deputy General Chen to do this because his family was coerced by gangsters?
Deputy General Chen has lost his family since he was a child. He has always been longing for the warmth of his family. People familiar with him know how important he thinks of his family.
In this way, Deputy General Chen’s mutiny makes sense. But with the vast crowd, how can they find someone based on the vague description of the seller?
Qi Mingxuan can only order the capital guards to strengthen patrol, meet suspicious people all arrested back to check again and again.
The inspection didn’t work out, but the capital got the best winter of public security in so many years.
