The in charge responded and was about to leave, Lan Jue called him again: "Forget it, let's not talk about the script, just say that the drama was good just now, it's hard for them to let these actors and the in charge go to the small flower hall to receive the reward."

The manager hurriedly left. Lan Jue and Wang Yan first went to the small flower hall. Not long after, the man who was acting as a clown just now brought the two men who were disguised as Yudie and Hu Lang to the small flower hall. The man's face had been washed, and the man and woman who were singing "Fox Lang" were still wearing makeup on their faces.

Lan Jue asked the servants to receive several red envelopes and received them with great gratitude. Lan Jue said again: "I just listened to the two plays singing together, which was so funny. But I wonder if I can see the scripts that were changed before and after."

The three people in the opera troupe looked at each other, and the man was still smiling and said, "Sir Lan, I'm sorry, our head teacher has ordered that the playbook should not be easily shown to others..."

Lan Jue raised his hand, and everyone serving left and right retreated. The door of the hall was closed, and only Lan Jue Wang Yan and these three actors were left in the small flower hall.

Lan Jue said: "It's getting late. Lord Wang and I have to go to court, so we will not go around the corner after a long story. You deliberately sang the old and new scripts in exchange. You have already recognized that the one I invited was Wang from the Ministry of Justice and sang it to him specifically. If you have anything to say at this time, you can just say it."

The three people in the lower head changed their expressions. The middle-aged man knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "The little one's tricks are indeed not hidden from the eyes of the two adults. It's strange that our class master was killed. Miss Li died at that time. The little one just now dared to ask Master Qingtian to observe clearly!"

Wang Yan was dressed in a tidy dress and sat down: "Who is Miss Li? What's wrong with your class master being killed?"

The middle-aged man said, "When I say that, this matter is a long story. The name of this Xiban is Li Family Ban, and the younger one is Li Qi. The two singing "Hu Lang" are my nephew Qingshu and the other is my niece Xianghe, both of whom are from the old Li Family Ban."

It turned out that this opera troupe was originally from the family of Mrs. Jin Li's mother. Jin Li's grandfather Li Taigong sang opera in his early years, but later became the headmaster and formed a opera troupe.

There was a man and a woman under his knees, the eldest, the uncle of Jin Li's family did not like to learn opera. After doing cloth business, Li Taigong let one of his favorite disciples marry into the family and married Jin Li's mother. The child born under the surname Li was still the foundation of the Li family.

However, unexpectedly, people's plan is not as good as God's plan. Jin Li's family originally had a younger brother. Unfortunately, smallpox died a little over ten years old. Her father also got sick and passed away not long after. Jin Li's father, Jin Lifa, also formed a small opera troupe in his early years, so he took advantage of the situation to take over the Li family troupe. He was afraid that the Li family's class would make the people of the Li family feel uncomfortable, so he changed his name to Lai Xi Ban. Gradually, he grew bigger and came to the capital to make life.

Wang Yan said: "This is interesting. Even if Jin Li's father and younger brother are dead, the widowed mother can't afford to support a troupe. She also has an uncle. The troupe should have belonged to her uncle, so how could the surname be Jin?"

Li Qi said: "Oh, this matter is a pity. Mr. Li is really a charitable man, but somehow his Li family has a bad life. Master Li married several wives and concubines, and always had one daughter. He died 10 or 20 years ago. Later, he adopted a child just to take over those business businesses. He was never a biological child and looked down on this opera troupe, so he returned to Miss Grandson's husband."

Wang Yan nodded slightly: "That dead lady is Yudie in this drama. Why do you say she died strangely?"

Li Qi said: "Sir, after the separation, the eldest young master lived next to the Li family's old house, so the villain knew the affairs of his family. The dead Miss Sun was named Li Niang, who was kept in the deep boudoir since childhood. Like those ladies from high and wealthy families, the family style was extremely rigorous."

Li Niang has never walked out of the door since she was a child. Apart from occasionally coming to her aunt's side to walk around, she has almost never seen anyone else.

But one day, Li Niang suddenly died, dressed in a neat manner, died on the bed, with a peaceful face, as if she was asleep.

The family didn't understand the cause of her death, so they secretly invited a witch to ask about it. The witch said that Miss Li Niang was sucked away by the monster.

Wang Yan knocked on the table: "It's ridiculous, ridiculous, and died suddenly for no reason. Why don't you report to the official?"

Li Qi lowered his head and said, "... The young man shouldn't have said such words. Back then, in private, the young man heard a statement... The reason why he didn't report to the official was because he checked Miss Li Niang's body and found that she was pregnant for several months..."

Wang Yan slapped the armrest of the seat: "This is obviously a rape and murder, and he must report it to the official. The ignorant grass-roots people have let go of a criminal for nearly twenty years for the sake of mere face!"

Li Qi said: "But Miss Li Niang really has no chance to contact the man. Even if she came to this house, she still walked into the inner courtyard. The idle people could not get close to her at all. The witch said that the lady must have been fascinated by the monsters, so she secretly handled the funeral, and even... even the body was burned to ashes and buried again..."

Wang Yan frowned and said for a moment: "What's next?"

Li Qi said: "Later... I won't mention this matter later. This matter should have passed long ago. Unexpectedly, the headmaster asked someone to write the show, and the wife actually asked someone to write the show accordingly. After the play was finished, the headmaster was very unhappy and told us not to arrange it, and then asked someone to rewrite it."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Is your class master unhappy?"

Li Qi said, yes, when the play was finished, Master Jin was not in the capital for something, and Mrs. Jin ordered them to arrange it first. As a result, the headmaster came back one day and saw the play, and was very unhappy. He said it would not work, so he asked someone to rewrite it, so they had two notebooks in their hands.

"The young man seemed to be the first book. He suddenly remembered this strange thing, and the headmaster was killed suddenly. The young man felt that it was really strange. When he came to Lord Lan's mansion to sing the opera, Xiao Wu recognized Lord Wang. Xiao was brave enough to deliberately let them confuse the two books, so please pay attention. Please forgive me."

Lan Jue just drank tea and listened, Wang Yan said, "Yes, I thought about it when you admit it. Although you don't remember the lyrics, you shouldn't have misunderstood the new and old plays on the face of the fan. Such artificiality has revealed its strength."

Li Qi kowtowed: "Sir, wise and sharp! Be aware of everything!"

Wang Yan unfolded his fan and laughed: "Forget it, the college of the Ministry doesn't like to hear these flattery words the most. Do you think that Miss Li's death many years ago was related to the murder of Master Jin today because of the playbook written by Zhang Ping, but there is no actual evidence. This matter needs to be verified in detail. But you can rest assured that if there is any grievance, you will definitely be revealed. With a servant like you in the Li family, you will be considered a righteous slave."

Li Qi paused his head again.

Before he and the other two left, Wang Yan called Li Qi again and asked casually: "By the way, when Miss Li died, did Jin Li and Jin Lifa get married?"

Li Qi said: "Short after getting married, the wife was pregnant at the time and was raising her baby at her parents' home. Miss Li Niang often came to talk to her, it is said..."

Li Qi's expression flashed.

Wang Yan said: "What is it said?"

Li Qi hesitated and said, "This is an irrelevant gossip. It is said that our master, the one we wanted to marry back then was Miss Li Niang, not my wife, but because his family had a opera troupe, he changed his wife to hire him."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "If you hadn't married your wife, you would probably not have this opera troupe. This is destined."

Li Qi said: "Yes, shortly after the wife gave birth, the wife's younger brother died of smallpox. Isn't it just a life?"

Sighed a long time.

After the three people from the opera troupe left, Wang Yan held the teacup for a long time and said, "Peizhi, what do you think of this case?"

Lan Jue yawned: "I am not working in the Ministry of Justice, what can I do? Just follow and watch the fun. Lord Wang, don't be busy thinking about the case, hurry up and wash and change clothes, it's time to go to court."

Wang Yan stood up and said, "That's right. Fortunately, I have the foresight and brought all the official uniforms and sedan chairs to your house. Otherwise, I would have delayed going to court."

Lan Jue ordered someone to brew strong tea and arrange for Wang Yan to wash and change clothes. He went to wash himself in a hurry, used some rice, changed into official clothes, and went to court.

After going to court, Lan Jue did not dare to delay and went to the office of the department office again. He was busy until afternoon, and he didn't realize that he was too heavy and returned to the mansion early. When he left the imperial city, he saw Wang Yan coming from the other side, strode hard and energetic.

Wang Yan grabbed Lan Jue's sleeve and dragged him under the tree, whispered with a bright look: "Peizhi, I have already come up with a rough idea of ​​this case, but I am afraid of leaking the news, so I cannot interrogate Jin Li. When I ask Zhang Ping again, the truth will be revealed soon."

Lan Jue smiled and said, "That's good."

Wang Yan patted his shoulder and said, "It's really thanks to you, Peizhi! Li Qi's words today are really a surprise!"

Lan Jue said: "It's just a simple task and I dare not take credit. The case is over. Lord Wang remembers to give me a drink."

Wang Yan said: "Of course, of course! I'm rushing to do my business and say goodbye first."

Lan Jue finally gave a little reminder: "To me, Li Qi's words are still a little... In short, it seems that you will have to work a lot, Lord Wang."

Wang Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I know, Li Qi's words are not detailed enough, and there are still many things that are not clear. Alas, let's not talk about them anymore, I'll go to the Ministry of Commerce first." He bowed and said goodbye.

Lan Jue watched him leave and slowly walked out of the imperial city.

On the way back to the house, Lan Jue accidentally lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and caught a bamboo basket in his hand and walked towards the direction of the Ministry of Justice.

Lan Jue returned to the mansion and did not go to rest as he slept. He changed into a plain old clothes and went out in a sedan chair. He got out of the sedan chair at a secluded intersection not far from the Ministry of Justice Prison, found a teahouse, picked up a window and sat down at a private room facing the street, ordered a pot of tea, and drank it slowly.

He was also a little funny when drinking tea. He hadn't done such a hot-tempered thing for many years. He liked to dig out the roots and asked whether it was human nature. He was worried about such a small case.

Lan Jue didn't know much whether it was because of the case or because of Zhang Ping.

After about two quarters of an hour, Chen Chou came from the direction of the Ministry of Justice with a basket. Lan Jue paid the tea money and walked out of the teahouse. He happened to face Chen Chou at the door. Chen Chou reluctantly smiled at him, "Brother Cao, what a coincidence, why are you here?"

Lan Jue looked at his expression and saw that he was doing well as he expected. Zhang Ping did not tell Chen Chou his true identity.

He smiled and said, "Go to visit a friend nearby and come in for a cup of tea. Brother Chen, are you... going to visit Brother Zhang?"

Chen Chou lowered his face and sighed: "Oh, Brother Cao, you have heard of it too. It's really a bad thing that runs fast. It's all my fault. I'll recruit Zhang Ping to work, but it's just a disaster."

Lan Jue said: "I heard that Lord Tao from the Ministry of Justice is a clean official. He will definitely be able to restore Brother Zhang's innocence when he personally tried this case."

Chen Chou said: "I hope to ask Brother Cao to be a good person. I always feel..." He looked around and lowered his voice, "I always feel that Zhang Ping seems to know who the real murderer is. Today, the Minister of Justice Wang from the Ministry of Justice went to the prison to interrogate him and asked him some words about Master Jin and his wife. Zhang Ping answered carefully, but he actually dared to tell the Minister that the Minister was wrong. The Minister of Justice Wang's face turned green on the spot and left immediately. Everyone in the prison said that he was ungrateful. The Minister of Justice clearly came to help him, but he said that the Lord was wrong. I wondered if Zhang Ping knew who the real murderer was, but for some reason, he didn't dare to say..."

This was interesting, and Lan Jue suddenly felt that it was not in vain to come.
