Chapter 44: The Murder of Ningdu Fuyi

"Could it be that the Toei samurai did it, it's too obvious," Qianduha analyzed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"It cannot be ruled out that this Dongying samurai did it, but it is also possible that other forces took advantage of the fire to rob and deliberately divert the contradiction and focus," Wu Bao replied worriedly.

"What other power is there?" asked Twilight in confusion.

"Emperor Longxi agreed to the request of several southern vassal kings to withdraw their feudal domains, which annoyed several feudal kings in the south, who were eager to rebel against the empire. This Ningdu is the place where the north and the south meet, and it is also the place where the forces of the north and the south infiltrate each other."

Wubao continued: "This Ningdu Mansion Yiman Wen Army has always been an important force in strongly calling for the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and it is also a thorn in the side and flesh of several southern feudal kings, so it is difficult to say whether the southern forces will use this ring event to assassinate Manfu Yi."

"Brother knows so much, is he also thinking about the court", Qian Duyu obviously knew that this brother was extraordinary, but he didn't break it, just asked tentatively.

"As a member of the empire, who can not think about the empire, seeing everyone's excitement in the ring yesterday's game, it is all a patriotic performance, of course, I am just like my brother, just do my best", Wubao replied indifferently.

"Where are we going now?" Zhuang Fei on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Go to Manfu and ask the two younger brothers to inspect and inspect it, so that we can discuss the next strategy", Wu Bao replied softly.

The carriage came to a sudden halt in a courtyard.

The three of them got out of the carriage, and the Wu Yongqin in the carriage in front of him had already stepped out of the carriage with the butler, and several people hurriedly walked through a group of soldiers standing guard towards Manfu.

"Ningdu Manfu", a few eye-catching big characters on the door, two majestic stone lions squatting on both sides of the gate, setting off the majestic style of the mansion of Manchuria.

Walking into the gate of the mansion, there was still a long courtyard, and there was already a general in armor standing there in the courtyard, and when he saw a few people in Wubao, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Fourth master, thank you", the general held the treasure tightly.

The treasure pointed to the general and said: "This is my old friend Ningdu General Soldier Fuhai", and then pointed to Nian Zhuangfei and Qianduyu and said: "These are my two righteous brothers, Nian Zhuangfei and Qianduyu."

"It's like thunder, I heard the fourth master talk about the two of you in the morning, it really earned honor for our Longxi Empire", Na Fuhai suddenly shook the hands of Nian Zhuangfei and Qianduyu.

Qian Dui Yu and Nian Zhuangfei felt that this treasure was really not simple, and even this chief soldier respected this righteous brother so much.

The name "Fuhai" is the name of the Xizhen people at first sound, because Emperor Longxi simplified the name of the complicated Xizhen people in order to speed up the process of sinicization, and at the same time used only two words in order to distinguish it from the Han people.

"How's the inquest going," Wubao asked the chief soldier Fukukaido.

"Man Fuyi was stabbed twice, both in the neck, and the arteries hemorrhaged to death", this Fuhai said, pointing to an ear room next to him and said: "I just found out that his housekeeper Liu Che was also the same as Manfu Yi, who was killed by cutting his throat",

"Isn't there anything unusual about the others," Wu Bao asked, confused.

"Moreover, one of his maids, Dang Xiaoping, was also cut in the throat, which was fatal with a knife," Fuhai replied.

"Let's go, let's see," Wu Bao said, walking towards the butler's room in the ear room on the side.

The housekeeper Liu Che died in front of the bed, staring at himself with a surprised look.

Two janitors were also called.

"Did you see anything unusual last night," Chief Soldier Fukuhai asked majestically.

A doorman said: "In the evening, Steward Liu led two people, saying that they were from their hometown, and we didn't care, so we let these two people in."

Another doorman also said: "Originally, we wanted to see what these two people looked like, but Steward Liu said that it was a cold wind, and both of them were tightly wrapped, only showing two eyes."

"When did these two men leave", Wu Bao interjected.

"I didn't see them leave through the door," replied one of the doorkeepers, frightened.

"You two will go with the surveyor to check the courtyard wall and see if there are any traces of someone climbing over", the chief soldier Fuhai instructed the two gatekeepers.

A few people turned to go out, and the Twilight interjected, "Search the housekeeper's room to see if there are any suspicious items."

The chief soldier Fuhai explained to the two inquest personnel: "According to what Qiangongzi said, search carefully, and report immediately if there is any result."

A few people walked through the house and entered the back house, which was the inner residence of the Iman Wen army in Ningdu Prefecture.

Two small courtyards with the same style are where the two-room lady of the Manchu Wenjun lived, and each small courtyard opened a side door to the left and right, and it was two houses, which were the places where the maids usually lived.

And Fu Yiman's civil army died at the door of the maid party Xiaoping's house.

Looking at the disheveled maid and Man Fuyi who rushed to the maid's door, "This Fuyi must have such a leg with this maid, it was this Fuyi who was injured when he came to tryst with this maid", the chief soldier Fuhai said with great care.

At this time, the person who went to inspect with the two gatekeepers reported that there was a large locust tree near the west wall of the front yard, and there were traces of someone climbing over it.

The inquest officer who was responsible for searching the housekeeper's house also came to report: nearly 500 taels of gold and thousands of taels of silver were found at the butler's bedside. However, none of the gold and silver were cast in the Longxi Dynasty, they resembled the Dongying script, and the shape was also different from our native gold and silver.

It seems that the case is very clear: "The housekeeper accepted a bribe, brought this stranger into the house, and killed Manfuyi, who went to have a tryst with the maid, and the housekeeper himself was also killed", Wubao analyzed.

Wu Bao then asked rhetorically: "But who exactly came to kill Fu Yi needs to be carefully studied."

"A discerning person knows at a glance that it must be this Dongying samurai who lost three first-class samurai because he failed in the ring competition, so he was disgruntled and killed Fuyi," replied the chief soldier Fukai with confidence.

"What do you two think", Wu Bao asked Nian Zhuangfei and Twilight Feather behind him.

"It's really impossible to say at the moment, it seems that it was done by the Dongying samurai, but deliberately got the gold and silver of Dongying, and put such obvious evidence out, this is called wanting to cover up", Nian Zhuangfei replied thoughtfully.

"There is a suspicion that after killing the housekeeper, why didn't he take away the gold and silver, and deliberately stayed here, this can not help but make people suspicious, judging from the results of the knife inquest, the flying knives of the Dongying warriors are all fatal, and the knife edge is small, but the knife edge on the neck of these people is much larger. There is also a suspicion that when the housekeeper brought two people into the house, the ring match had not yet ended, and it should not have been done by the Dongying samurai.

"The fact that the Toei samurai who had been staying in the elegant apartment disappeared overnight last night shows that they will definitely take some action, so we must take strict precautions," said Chief Soldier Fukukai worriedly.

"At the same time, we must do our best to arrest the Dongying samurai, as long as we can catch the people in them, we will be able to follow the vine, and the truth of this case will be revealed," Wubao said confidently.

"When will the new Ningdu Fuyi arrive?" asked Twilight Ha.

"It has been reported to the capital, and the new Fu Yi will take office in the next few days", the general soldier Fu Hai said like a bell.

A few people talked and walked out of the inner house.

Twilight Feather was under the locust tree at the root of the west wall, and when she looked closely, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she pinched something from the root of the wall.

"What did you find?" asked Wu Baoxiao with interest.

"Look at this buckle is different", Twilight Feather pinched a long black Fengji button in her hand, and asked Wu Bao Dao suspiciously.

"Where have you seen this?" said Wu Bao as he picked up the button.

"This is a special button produced by a button factory in Rongcheng, specially customized for the troops of Wu Sanmu, the king of Dingxi", Na Fuhai took the button from Wubao's hand and said confidently.

"It seems that the murderer of Manfuyi must have something to do with this king of Dingxi", Wu Bao pondered for a while, and then continued: "Secretly the whole city is arresting these two murderers, especially the post station, public apartment, and tavern, once the person who uses this kind of buckle is found, he will be quickly arrested."

"Okay, what the fourth master said is very true, I'll go and arrange it", Chief Soldier Fuhai nodded yes.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the chief soldier Fuhai invited Wubao and his party to have another sea drink in Juxian Building, and this Qianduyu was soon overwhelmed by the wine, and was defeated early, and was arranged by Wubao to rest in a guest room in Juxian Building.

I don't know how long it was, but I was woken up in a daze. When I opened my eyes, it was the wishful little bronze man, who didn't know when he came out of his hair and was tapping his head.

Twilight sat up suddenly, and saw that the little bronze man ran to the door and turned back, and seemed to be very anxious, could there be something.
