Chapter 179: Hearing the News
Listening to the rain tower fell into chaos.
The blood-spurting headless corpses lost their balance and fell, the screaming crowd ran like headless flies, and the women hung by the colorful silks lost their graceful dancing, as if they were writhing by hanging snakes and insects, and fainted from fright and hung straight in the air.
The fireworks are still going off.
Listen to the chaos in the splendor of the rain building, with a different kind of brilliance.
The chaos was only for a moment, the door was instantly surrounded by the black armor guards, and raised their swords, guns, bows and crossbows against the crowd that rushed out, and the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division poured in, and the flowing water dispersed in the listening rain building, and the chaotic crowd was separated and surrounded by flowing water, and the noise was still there, but no one was running around.
The guards of the Criminal Department gathered around the green bamboo bridge in the courtyard, except for the original guard kneeling in front of the corpse, the others did not come forward and did not check, but only faced outward and guarded that no one was allowed to approach.
After the initial panic, coupled with the presence of the officers and soldiers, listening to the gradual calming down of the people in the rain building, in fact, it is nothing, is it murderous, dead people.....
Most of the chaos is on the first floor, and people from the second floor recover faster.
"What's going on?"
"Who was killed?"
There were even many men who solemnly questioned the officers and soldiers who came to maintain order, revealing their identities as officials, big and small.
However, there was no response, and the officers and men did not say a word, staring at them vigilantly, stopping them from walking around, and not allowing them to go downstairs, and their attitude was undisguised: if they dared to move around, regardless of their identity, they would be punished on the spot.
This made the people upstairs very unhappy, but they did not argue with these officers and soldiers, and arguing with these officers and soldiers would be a loss of identity, and they would settle accounts when the people with the same status came.
The screams subsided, the colored silk was still hanging in the air, and the women on it were all put down, stunned and beaten on the ground, and the others were huddled together in horror, but more people had begun to look curiously at the patio, whispering and speculating.
The rain has dispersed, the fireworks have been cold, and the rain building is full of humming.
Older people with status have begun to think about other things, no longer look at the dead, the teenagers have nothing to think about, and the dead can't see enough no matter how they look.
Chu Minghui was holding on to the railing, if it weren't for a few teenagers holding him, half of his body would have been planted.
"I can't see clearly.... Fall down and block it. He patted the railing with some regret, but then turned his head to look at Jiang Zhaozi excitedly, "You guys are really interesting here.... Do you often watch killing?"
Jiang Zhaozi's face was red, his eyes widened, excited and frightened, and said, "The first time I came to listen to Yulou, it was also the first time I saw a dead person. ”
Zhang Shuangtong patted Chu Minghui on the shoulder and said, "Don't say stupid things like this." Squeezed Chu Minghui away and looked at him on tiptoe, "It is also common for dead people to die in the Qinglou. ”
Jiang Zhaozi looked at Zhang Shuangtong with envy and admiration, the teenagers in Chang'an Mansion had really seen a big scene.
"That's right, love murder in the Qinglou, this person was either killed by a rival in love, or he was bought by the eldest woman in the family. Zhang Shuangtong said.
The officers and soldiers standing next to them couldn't help but look sideways.
"Don't talk nonsense. ”
"You know what. ”
The other teenagers couldn't stand it and interrupted him.
"Anyway, this person's identity is definitely not ordinary. A young man from the Jiang family said, although he couldn't see the dead and couldn't recognize anything, but looking at the officers and soldiers in the building at this time, "The officers and soldiers came quickly, it seems that they were originally scattered around, look, there are black armor guards over there, not everyone can use black armor guards." ”
Zhang Shuangtong sighed and said, "Just ask." "Look at the other side, the officers and soldiers in the corridor are not allowed to leave their sight, so everyone is standing in the corridor, and a young man is standing next to several adults, and he shouts Xue Qing.
His voice was loud, and people couldn't help but be startled in such a tense atmosphere, and they all looked over, Zhang Shuangtong raised his hand and beckoned without hesitation.
Kang Dai frowned a little angrily, Jiang Xian was nothing, glanced at Xue Qing who was standing quietly on the side, and said, "Go over there." ”
When something so big happens, young people can be with young people to relieve their fears.
Xue Qing responded to the sound, whether he walked over, or did not leave the sight in the corridor, and the officers and soldiers did not stop him.
"Did you see it, did you see it?" Zhang Shuangtong said with a flying eyebrow, stretching out his hand to make a splash, "That scene." ”
Xue Qing said in a low voice: "We were still in the house at that time and didn't come out. ”
Zhang Shuangtong looked sympathetic: "Pitiful." ”
Jiang Zhaozi leaned over and asked, "Do you know who it is?"
Xue Qing nodded.
Sure enough, I know, the adults are well-informed, and the teenagers are curious to squeeze even tighter.
Xue Qing glanced downstairs and said in a low voice, "Duan Shan." ”
This name is not unfamiliar to the teenagers of Chang'an Mansion or the teenagers of the Jiang family, and they were silent in shock for a while.
"It's exciting. A voice rang out clearly.
Everyone looked at it and saw that it was Pei Yanzi, who had been standing quietly on the side, and it seemed that he had only reacted now.
Chu Minghui said: "Yanzi, were you scared stupid just now?"
The atmosphere was alive again.
"Really?"
"How could it be Duan Shan?"
The teenagers chattered, but were quickly interrupted again, and a teenager patted the railing in response.
"It's really Duan Shan, look, the people from the Criminal Department are here, Song Yuan is here!"
......
......
The sound of hula trampling footsteps made the ground tremble, and the iron mask selflessly raised his hand and dared to slash the people who did not obey the order, and the officers and soldiers who were on the ground neatly got out of the way, and even the officers and soldiers who surrounded the patio did not let the guards who approached let go.
There are blood stains all over his feet, and when he steps on it, it is a mark, Song Yuan looked at the man lying on the ground, and seemed to be unrecognizable.... His gaze looked to the other side, where there was a head rolling down, his face was calm, a pair of eyes were quietly looking at everyone, everyone looked down at him, he looked up at everyone, this strange scene made people shudder.
Song Yuan's lips trembled, his outstretched hand trembled, and he was dumb for a long time: "Look, look! What, how did you die?"
Two black-robed men crossed behind him and knelt on their knees in the bloodstains, one went to see Duan Shan's corpse, and the other held Duan Shan's head, and the buzzing around him was even louder, whether it was adults, old people, or young women.
Duan Shan's injury was very simple, and he turned around after only a few moments.
"Master Duan was attacked from behind, cutting his throat to prevent him from speaking, and he was strangled again, and there was a silk thread around his neck. A pretentious gesture raised his hand to lift up a few thin silk threads, which had been dyed red and could not see their original color.
He looked up to the side, and there were colorful silks hanging and flying, pointing out accurately.
"It's on colored silk. ”
Song Yuan said: "What about the murder weapon? You won't kill it with these threads, right?"
The fatal wound was those four incisions, but ..... He said, "I didn't find it." “
Song Yuan raised his foot and kicked: "Waste!"
This guy didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down and hung his head: "The subordinates are guilty." His gaze fell on the ground, and there were bamboo leaves scattered in the bloodstains, and the bamboo leaves were even more condensed and flakes in a field of black and red blood...... Could this be the murder weapon?
Another man stepped forward and raised the bamboo pole: "Lord Duan has no other injuries on his body, only this bamboo pole, this bamboo pole is just to fix his body, so as to delay the disguise and not be discovered." ”
The guard said on the side: "Your Excellency came here to investigate the case, we were in the hall, and we didn't see anyone approaching your lordship, let alone fighting. ”
"That's to be killed all at once!" Song Yuandao, looking at the officials around him, "What a powerful murderer." ”
The officials nodded.
Song Yuan raised his head and looked around, and saw that men, women, and children were all excited, frightened, and pointed, Duan Shan died?
"Murderer, listen to the rain building right here!" he shouted, pointing around, "Arrest them all!"
As soon as this remark came out, the building was full of noise.
The crowd, which had been quiet, screamed and cried as if restless again.
But in this chaos, there are also sneers, scolds and solemn mountains.
"Lord Song, you have such a big breath!"
"Song Yuan! you are so bold, dare to arrest innocents!"
"Is this how your criminal department handles cases?"
"I'll see who is going to put me in jail tonight. ”
Song Yuan looked up, the crowd was chaotic, the lights were dazzling, some women were crowded, some old men were indignant, some teenagers stared, and some men stepped out, among which there were many familiar faces.
"Song Yuan, if you want to arrest me and put me in prison, please go and ask Your Majesty for the Holy Decree first. Jiang Xian said indifferently, "I'll wait for you here." ”
