Chapter 60: Hidden Murder
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Hanqing, who was in the Soul Slaughter Division, was suddenly invited to a painting boat that stopped near the water. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past few days in Tu Lingsi, Cen Feng did not torture him as strictly as he did with prisoners, on the contrary, he also let him eat and drink well, and take good care of him, but he did not interrogate him for a long time, as if he intended to delay time.
Fortunately, Gu Hanqing was neither flustered nor anxious, nor did he take the initiative to inquire and inquire, as if he was indifferent to everything, so that the people in the Tu Ling Division speculated that Cen Feng might have caught the wrong person this time.
At this moment, I saw Cen Feng standing on the bow of the boat in plain clothes, like an old friend reunited, turning around and smiling kindly at him, there was no posture at all to interrogate the prisoner, but Gu Hanqing did not take it lightly.
"Cen Changsi, this early in the morning, please Gu Mou is here, shouldn't you come to see the waning moon of Xiaofeng?"
Gu Hanqing raised his feet and stepped on the plank, still looking white and clear on the surface.
"Young Master Gu, I have really wronged you by letting you succumb to the Spirit Slaughter Division these days. ”
"Cen Changsi is polite, I have heard that Tu Ling Si is a righteous and awe-inspiring place, and Gu Mou can visit here, which can be regarded as an eye-opener. Gu Hanqing said unhurriedly, raising his eyes to look at Cen Feng, his eyes condensed into a fierce light, "After all, this Slaughter Spirit Division, not anyone who wants to enter can enter." ”
"Hahaha, I really admire that Young Master Gu can be so fearless and calm in the face of danger. Cen Feng laughed loudly, and then stopped laughing and said, "It's just that in the past few days when Young Master Gu entered the Slaughter Spirit Division, there have been rumors outside, isn't the Young Master worried at all, and doesn't want to know the reason at all?"
Gu Hanqing smiled indifferently: "If Lord Cen wants to say it, when the time comes, he will naturally say that Gu Mou acts above board and has a clear conscience, so why meddle in his own affairs and ask for trouble?"
"It seems that Young Master Gu seems to be very sure that our Spirit Slaughter Division can't keep you. Cen Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and he moved his gaze to the surface of the wrinkled lake, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Three years ago, the case of the robbery of the disaster relief officer in Pingfu County, Bizhou, Young Master Gu should know, right?"
This case was a sensation, and Gu also heard about it. Gu Hanqing said thoughtfully, "It is said that the officers and soldiers in charge of escorting at that time suffered heavy casualties, and all the officials and silver were robbed. ”
"Yes, but because there is no trace, the case has been unsolved. Cen Feng narrowed his eyes, his expression was slightly grim, "Now that I think about it, this group of robbers is really going too well. From the robbery of the official silver to the retreat of the whole army, it seems that every step has been properly arranged, and there is not a single trace left, which really makes people have to suspect that there are people in that group of officers and soldiers who have their answers. ”
Gu Hanqing couldn't help but look suspicious when he heard this: "I don't know what Lord Cen meant by talking about this case for no reason?"
However, Cen Feng did not answer his question, but continued: "Until half a year ago, the official silver that was robbed back then suddenly flowed out of the market, so our people searched for this clue and found a person named Fang He Nian. And this person is your second uncle's subordinate. ”
"What year is Fang?"
Gu Hanqing silently recited this name in his mouth, but he did not recall any information about this person, he was quickly convinced that this name was the first time he had heard it today.
"After my second uncle left the Gu family, he had already set up his own door, and he had a grudge against Gu and the entire Gu family, and we rarely interacted with each other. But his personality has always been timid and cautious, Gu Mou doesn't think that he has the courage to rob the official bank......"
"In the face of the people who had grievances in the past, Gu Shaozhu not only did not fall into the stone, but told the truth, and he was indeed a righteous gentleman. Cen Feng smiled, "Although this Fang He Nian insisted that this matter had nothing to do with him, the day when the prison of the Criminal Department was set on fire was the day when His Royal Highness King Yan went to interrogate Fang He Nian." ”
Gu Hanqing frowned and said, "Then this person named Fang He Nian, has he been robbed?"
"It seems that Young Master Gu has also discovered something wrong. ”
Cen Feng's eyes were fluctuating, and he took out a piece of black jade from his body that was pure in color and fine in texture, but there were slight burn marks on the surface, and handed it to Gu Hanqing.
"Young Master Gu should recognize such a thing, right?"
"How can this piece of ink jade be in Cen Changsi's hands?" Gu Hanqing took the ink jade in Cen Feng's hand in surprise, "Mo jade is an extremely rare natural ore, the ancestors of the Gu family accidentally found it when they opened the mountains and reclaimed the land, so they cast it into a portable token, and each descendant of the Gu family will collect it closely, and engrave the eight characters of birth on it." ”
As he spoke, he immediately flipped the jade, only to see a small seal engraved at the bottom of the back, which read: On the twenty-third day of May in the year of Yiwei, Gu Fei.
"This is my second uncle's real name. ”
Gu Hanqing stared at the line of words in a daze, and clenched the ink jade in his hand.
Cen Feng said: "On the day of the robbery, this was found from a corpse that was burned beyond recognition in the prison. ”
"What are you talking about?" Gu Hanqing trembled, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, "What Changsi Cen means is that my second uncle has ......"
"There are two possibilities. Cen Feng slowly explained, "One is that the corpse is really your second uncle, and the other is that those people deliberately confuse the public, wanting everyone to think that your second uncle has died in the sea of fire, the purpose is to let our Soul Slaughter Division no longer investigate." ”
"But if that body is really my second uncle, then it means ......"
When Gu Hanqing said this, a feeling of extreme fear spread in his heart, forcing him not to dare to speculate anymore.
The development of things has obviously exceeded his expectations.
"That means that there must be a deeper mastermind behind the official silver robbery back then, and he is afraid that he is planning to kill Gu Chen by taking advantage of the prison robbery. ”
"What year is that?"
"Just a few days ago, we found Fang He Nian, who seemed to have hanged himself, in a thatched hut on the outskirts of the city, and at the same time, we also found a bloody letter on him. Cen Feng's eyes were confused, and his tone suddenly increased, "And the blood letter clearly pointed out that everything was manipulated by you behind your back, Young Master Gu. ”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Gu Hanqing, his sharp eyes were full of thorns, although they were hidden but not visible, they could penetrate people's hearts.
Gu Hanqing's tense face met his gaze, but after three seconds, he relaxed his face and smiled dumbly.
"That's why Cen Changsi, did you suddenly find me? Heh, this kind of framing is really despicable and ridiculous. ”
"Don't hide what the young master said, I think so too. Seeing that Gu Hanqing was not angry but laughed in the face of such serious accusations, Cen Feng also restrained Fang Cai's grim expression, and then said with a smile, "It seems that the person hiding behind the scenes is also temporary, and he doesn't want Fang He Nian to die in vain, so he wants to use his death to drag Gu Shao Master into the water." ”
"So I went to Young Master Gu, not because I believed in the content of this blood letter. ”
The smile on Cen Feng's lips faded, and his face was filled with a solemn color.
"I want to ask Gu Shaozhu to accompany me to perform a play and bring out the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
