Chapter 88 Honghui Solve the Case
When Yinlang and Yinzhen met up the next day, he always felt something was wrong. He looked around and found that the attendant who followed Yinzhen today was half a head shorter than the familiar face before.

After taking a closer look, Yinzhen was delighted. Wasn't this his nephew Honghui?

I saw that the brother, who was originally fair and clean, had put something on his face today, which made it look waxy and dark. Only when he smiled did he show his white teeth, which looked a bit weird.

He was dressed as a servant and followed Su Peisheng. No wonder Eunuch Su kept looking back today.

"Fourth brother, is Honghui going to follow you?" Even if Yinzhen was unruly, he knew that Wenyunxuan was not a place for a teenager to go.

"Take him to see the world, so that he won't be dazzled by others later." After Yinzhen said this, the group went straight to Wenyunxuan.

As he walked, Yinzhen talked about the autopsy results he had found yesterday: "Yesterday, I listened to my fourth brother and hired a coroner to do another autopsy. The results are indeed different from the previous ones."

"The cause of death was the strangulation marks on his neck. The coroner said it was a homicide disguised as suicide. There were many small marks near the strangulation marks, which were caused by repeated tightening of the same force point. As for the marks of abuse on his body, they could not be faked."

"So now, after the efforts of our two brothers, the Tenth Brother has turned from a womanizer into a murderer." Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Yinlu.

Yinzhen was speechless for a moment: "This...my brother is incompetent."

"Let's go take a look at Wenyunxuan." Yinzhen looked at the bustling store entrance and asked, "Whose business is this?"

Yinlang came closer and stretched out a finger. Yinzhen understood what he meant, but felt a little surprised that the Prince of Zhi, who appeared to be rude and upright to the outside world, actually had such an industry under his control.

When Manager Liu saw the two gentlemen coming again, he cursed inwardly, but he did not slow down and immediately greeted them with a smile: "Greetings to the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Master. Do you two want to see Young Master Rong's room? This way, please."

"No, let's get a private room." After Yinzhen said this, Yinlu understood and took out the money.

How could Manager Liu accept their money? He immediately cleaned up the No. 1 room. The view here was wide and he could see clearly what was going on below. It was a good place for observation.

Honghui lay on the railing and saw that the first floor was full of elegant places, with people playing the piano and composing poems. The dandies who were shouting and killing outside changed their appearance into literati and talked in soft voices. For a moment, he thought he had come to a teahouse.

But if you look closely, you can find clues. The guest playing the zither is too close to the young master. The young master's face is getting redder and the sound of the zither is getting more and more unstable. And the guest writing poems over there, if the guest doesn't have a good work, he has to drink, and it's a wedding wine.

This kind of intimate contact in public can indeed stimulate hormones. No wonder everyone is so happy about it.

Seeing Honghui staring straight down, Yinzhen immediately covered his eyes with his hands and said, "Don't look at it if it's not proper. Honghui, you can't read the words of the saints in vain all these years."

"Uncle Jiu, I think that person is a little weird." Honghui pulled down Yinzhen's big hand with force, "It's the one who ordered the cheapest pot of tea and hasn't drunk it yet, and keeps looking up from time to time."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen also looked at the strange guest mentioned by Honghui. The clothing of this young man was out of tune with the other dandies around him. His cotton clothes were washed to a pale color, his hair was fixed on top of his head with a simple hairpin, and he had no accessories on his body. He looked really poor and did not look like someone who came here to spend money.

"It's indeed a bit strange. Come, bring him up to me." Yinzhen commanded.

The young man with strange behavior was taken to the Tianzi Room with a face full of embarrassment and nervousness: "Who are you? Why do you arrest me?"

Just as Yinzhen was about to speak, Honghui suddenly asked, "Is your last name Rong?"

When the man heard this, his body trembled continuously and he clenched his teeth without saying a word.

"You should also investigate the cause of death of the student named Rong. What did you find out?"

"What kind of a student is he?" Perhaps these two words touched him, and the man collapsed on the ground, "I didn't know that this is how the money for studying came from. If I knew, I wouldn't have spent a penny!"

"He is my eldest brother. He has not returned home since the last imperial examination. Suddenly one day, someone sent me a lot of silver, saying that my eldest brother was appreciated in the capital and made a lot of money. He told me to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and that the two brothers would enter the examination hall together in the next imperial examination."

"I believed him. We have been living in peace for a long time. A few days ago, my elder brother asked someone to send me a banknote. This time, there was a full 1,000 taels." "I was a little panicked. What kind of business did my elder brother do? So I went to Beijing in advance. As soon as I arrived in Beijing, I heard... heard those dirty things."

"I don't want to believe it, but it's spread everywhere. I came here just to see..."

The man looked ashamed and in pain.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen asked, "Do you still have the banknotes with you?"

The man looked at Yinzhen with some alertness.

Yinzhen continued, "The silver is still yours, but the issue date is engraved on the banknotes, and there is also a stub. Based on this, you can find out who gave your brother these banknotes. This is physical evidence."

Su Peisheng stepped forward, took the banknote from the man, and took out another one from his pocket and gave it to him.

"Don't come here again. Concentrate on your studies." Yinzhen reminded him, "Give me your address in the capital. Don't leave the capital recently. Wait for a summons at any time."

After the man left, Yinzhen punched Honghui on the shoulder and said, "Okay, how do you know his last name is Rong?"

"I guessed. We came here to investigate Uncle Ten's case at this critical moment. Judging from his behavior and clothing, he doesn't look like he's in disguise. He is most likely related to the deceased, and a direct relative." Honghui explained, and when Yinzhen looked up at him, he immediately smiled shyly, "Of course, these are all my nephew's guesses, and they can't be counted."

"This banknote." Yinzhen asked, "Do you want to check it?"

Yinzhen had no hope for the outcome. He thought it would most likely be traced back to... Prince Zhi. If that was the case, it would most likely not have been him who did it.

But who did it is not the most important thing at the moment, let’s take the tenth one out first.

"check!"

The next day, Yinzhen drafted a memorial on the results of his recent investigation and submitted it to the emperor.

After reading it once, Kangxi looked at Yinzhen and said, "Is this the result of your investigation? Did the Nalan family frame the Tenth Prince?"

"In reply to the Emperor, Wenyunxuan is the property of a branch of the Nalan family, and the banknotes given to the victim's younger brother also came from their business. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that the tenth brother is innocent. As for why this branch wanted to harm the tenth brother, it is probably related to the fact that the tenth brother usually behaves in a rude manner and offends people everywhere."

Kangxi was silent for a while, then smiled: "The tenth prince has behaved improperly, so he will be confined to his home for three months and fined one year's salary. As for this Nalan, he falsely accused the prince and was executed immediately, and his family was exiled."

"Your Majesty is wise." Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

The swing was set up, and Yihuan was swinging on it with Liuliu in her arms. Suddenly, she remembered that it was Honghui's day off today, so she quickly asked the kitchen to prepare his favorite dishes.

"What did Honghui do today?" This kid ran away after paying his respects in the morning. It was a bit abnormal. During the rest time, he stayed with Liuliu the whole day.

"The eldest brother went out with my father this morning. I think he had some social engagements."

Yihuan didn't care at first, but then she suddenly remembered that Yinzhen went to investigate a case today, so it was obvious where Honghui went.

well.

"By the way, I made some sour lemon tea earlier. It's very strong. Honghui likes it the most. I'll wait for him to have some when he comes back."

Yu Xiao looked up at Yi Huan's smiling face and felt a chill for no reason.
