Chapter 174 Why Take Me to Dali Temple (2)

"Let's go, since I'm waiting for the emperor's order to investigate the case, I think Master Shi's loyalty to His Majesty will not embarrass us," Liu Banshan straightened his clothes, and said to the people behind him, "If Master Shi can't understand We have waited so hard, then we can only report to the emperor."

Staff of Dali Temple: Please don't make the complaint so euphemistic.

Shi Chonghai was talking to his eldest son about Ban Huai's assassination when he heard a servant say that the young minister of Dali Temple asked to see him.

"What is Liu Banshan doing at our house at this time?" Shi Chonghai frowned, and said to the eldest son, "You go to the reception and say that I have already fallen asleep."

"Yes." Shi Jin had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't say it in front of Shi Chonghai. He exited his father's yard and when he left the second door, he met Shi Feixian who was coming back from outside.

"Feixian, have you ever gone out?"

These days, because of the rumors outside, Shi Feixian has not gone out for several days.

Shi Feixian forced a smile: "Yesterday, I made an appointment with a few little sisters at the Poetry Club, but I didn't know that they were busy, so I moved the date to today."

Shi Jin was worried that something might happen if she was bored at home all day, so it would be good if he could go out for a walk, so he nodded and said, "There's been some chaos in Beijing recently, you should be more careful."

Shi Feixian nodded silently. She talked to the little sisters who usually play together today, and found that they didn't seem to be as close to her as before, but they couldn't find anything wrong on their faces. She was angry and sad, but she couldn't help it. attack.

She hated Banhua and those dudes for spreading rumors, but also hated that the second prince didn't stand up and say a word to her. Men all over the world are like this. When they are free, they think you are good-looking and talented, so they say things like admiration, but when something really happens...

But they disappeared one by one faster than one.

The second prince is like this, and so is Xie Qilin.

man……

Ah.

Liu Banshan and several officials of Dali Temple waited for two sticks of incense in the main hall, and finally arrived at the people from the Shi family, but it was not Shi Chonghai but Shi Jin who showed up.

"Lord Liu, all the adults of Dali Temple, what kind of auspicious wind has brought all of you here today?"

"Master Shi is too polite, we take the liberty of disturbing Master Shi, please forgive me."

After greeting each other, Shi Jin asked everyone to sit down. Seeing that the officials of Dali Temple had unnatural expressions, and Liu Banshan's expression was not quite right, he said indifferently: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Hall. Sirs, please speak directly."

"I really want to ask for something. I wonder if my lord has seen this kind of pearl on the female family members at home?" Liu Banshan opened a box, and there was a pearl in it.

Shi Jin frowned, "Pearls and other things are very common. As a man, why would I stare at things on a woman's body? What does Master Liu mean by that?"

"Lord Shi misunderstood, this object was found in the mouth of the main envoy in the assassination of Jing Tinggong." Liu Banshan seemed not to care that this object was picked out of the dead man's mouth, "We found that this pearl is There is a new type of clam pearl that has been introduced this year, and only three families in the entire capital have bought it."

Shi Jin's face darkened when he heard the words: "Master Liu, you mean that our Shi family is also one of the three families?"

"That's true." Facing Shi Jin's ugly face, Liu Banshan did not retreat half a step, "In addition to your mansion, other people who bought this item include Zhongpingbo Mansion and Jingting Mansion."

Hearing the name Jingting Gongfu, Shi Jin lowered his eyelids and took a sip of tea: "Since Mr. Liu wants to know the whereabouts of Pearl, I will ask my servants to check."

Large households have managers and sub-managers, and they will have their own records of what they buy and who uses it. After Shi Jin spoke, someone came to report within two quarters of an hour that the mansion had indeed bought this kind of pearl, but although this kind of pearl was rare, the wife and young lady thought it was a bit small, so they didn't use it for hairpins Only the young lady took some to make embroidered shoes a few days ago.

Hearing the word embroidered shoes, the eyes of everyone in Dali Temple lit up, and a rash official even couldn't help saying: "Master Shi, I wonder if I can let the lower officials take a look at these embroidered shoes."

"Presumptuous!" Shi Jin put down the teacup heavily, "Are the adults here to humiliate my Shi family, or to investigate the case?"

How could the embroidered shoes worn by my daughter be taken out for these men to look at?

"My lords are all well-read poets and books, how can you make such a ridiculous request?"

"Master Shi, please calm down. The colleagues of the lower officials are in a hurry and have offended you with their words. Please forgive me, Lord Shi." Liu Banshan got up and cupped his hands towards Shi Jin, "Please rest assured, Lord Shi. How dare you offend Miss Shi."

The official who was reprimanded finally came to his senses, and he hurriedly got up to plead guilty: "The lower official spoke quickly and didn't speak clearly, please forgive me, my lord."

Liu Banshan didn't wait for Shi Jin to speak, and directly asked a woman in the uniform of Dali Temple behind him to come out, and said to Shi Jin, "Master Shi, please lead the way."

Shi Jin looked at Liu Banshan coldly and said nothing.

Liu Banshan met Shi Jin's eyes with a smile, without saying a word.

"It seems that Master Liu has been prepared for a long time." Shi Jin said coldly, "How can I not know that there are women working in Dali Temple?"

"Master Shi worked in other places a few years ago, so I'm afraid he doesn't know much about some things in the capital," Liu Banshan said with a smile. Select some women from innocent backgrounds and well-read poetry books to serve in some departments. Although their grades are not high, they have helped a lot in many things."

Shi Jin glanced at the woman in Dali Temple clothes, she was about thirty years old, her hair was only combed in a very simple bun, her appearance was also very ordinary, only her eyes were very firm, she looked more like a boy than a woman .

He didn't want these people to enter the second sister's yard, because he didn't know whether the second sister really had nothing to do with this matter.

My younger sister knows that she looks fine on the outside, but she is very stubborn and can easily get into a dead end. Even if someone told him that the second sister hired someone to kill Jing Tinggong in order to make Ban Hua keep her filial piety for another three years and prevent Ban Hua from marrying Rong Xia, he would still believe that it was somewhat possible.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't let the people from Dali Temple in, at least not at this time.
