Chapter 304: Questioning
The news of the death of the Tokugawa Inn spread far and wide in Jinzhai County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In just a moment, the officials of the Yamen of Jinzhai County surrounded the small Tokugawa Inn in an airtight air.
"All guests staying at the hotel will be strictly checked, and suspects will not be spared. The head of the fast catching squad in Jinzhai County commanded the officials standing outside with a black face.
The county magistrate of Jinzhai County personally entered the Tokugawa Inn and asked the innkeeper.
The shopkeeper of the inn was surnamed Yang, who was also the owner of this inn, and he didn't expect that the three men who were still acting wantonly in his daughter's room last night would be dead at the door of his inn overnight.
Boss Yang's face was as pale as a ghost, kneeling on the ground, trembling and answering the county order's question.
All the occupants of the inn were ordered not to move around freely, and each of them waited in his room to be questioned.
The window moved quietly, Holly rolled in through the window, and said in a low voice: "Lady, I have inquired clearly, the three people who died are the garrisons of the Praetorian Guards in Jinzhai County, one is waiting, and the two are in command." ”
Mu Jin's eyes flashed.
"No wonder even the prefectural magistrate is here. The coachman muttered to himself.
The second floor of the inn was guarded, and they simply concentrated in Mu Jin's room, so that they could take care of each other in case something happened.
After Wu Chefu said this, he saw that the people in the room were looking at him puzzled, so he roughly explained the military system of the Great Zhou.
The Praetorian Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into two parts, half of the troops were stationed in the capital Jinling to protect the safety of the Son of Heaven and the Beijing Division, and the other half were distributed in various places to guard the safety of various prefectures and counties.
Of course, the security of each prefecture and county is not enough to rely on these Janissary garrisons, and each prefecture and county also has its own soldiers, which are under the command of the local prefecture and county and the inspection department.
Although the commander of Du Yuhou and the army is a junior officer of the seventh or eighth grade, the command of the Praetorian Guard garrison is not in the prefecture and county, and three officers of the Praetorian Guard died in the small Jinzhai County at once, so it is no wonder that the Jinzhai County Commander came to try the case in person.
A flash of clarity flashed in Mu Jin's eyes.
"All calm down, the county magistrate will ask in a while, do you know what to say?" Mu Jin's eyes gently swept over several people.
Wu Chefu naturally nodded without any problems, although Luo Xu was a little nervous, but there was some inexplicable excitement in his eyes, and when he saw Mu Jin looking over, he also nodded.
Although Yingniang's face was a little pale, her eyes were very serious, "Don't worry, lady." ”
They all know that this matter is not simple, last night those three people openly bullied the boss's daughter in the inn, Holly took action to teach the three of them a lesson, and threw them out of the gate, but those three people died!
Holly's face turned white when she knew it, "I was measured, and I didn't even break them, how could I die?"
No matter how you look at this matter, it is very strange, they know that Mu Jin doesn't want to be involved.
Mu Jin finally landed his eyes on Holly, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and Holly blinked blankly, "Lady, there is no problem with the slave." ”
Mu Jin looked her up and down, and silently took out a small red pill from her body, "Eat it." ”
Holly pouted, why didn't they need to take medicine, the lady just gave her a pill, is the lady despising her?
Mu Jin raised her chin slightly, signaling Holly to hurry up.
Holly pursed her lips, took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, then ran to the corner of the wall and silently drew circles.
The door was opened from the outside, and it was Mu Jin's turn to go out for questioning.
It had rained all night last night, and it was muddy outside, and the questioning took place in the lobby of the inn.
There were three stretchers at the door of the hall, on which lay three corpses, covered with white cloth, but the heads were exposed, all with bruised faces and round eyes, which was shocking to see.
When Mu Jin and the others entered, there were already many people in the hall, standing and kneeling.
Jinzhai County Ling is a small-eyed man in his forties with a goatee, and when he saw Mu Jin and his party coming in, his eyes couldn't help flashing, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The girl who walked to the front was dressed in white clothes and white dresses, her skin was better than snow, the white jade was flawless, and her bright apricot eyes looked over, like a clear stream of water slowly passing through the bottom of people's hearts.
The girl walked past the three stretchers on which the corpses were placed, her steps were calm, her eyes did not squint, her face was calm, and there was not the slightest hint of fright and fear.
"Where are you from?What are you doing in Jinzhai County?" Seeing Mu Jin walk to the front and salute, the county commander sat up straight with a smile.
"Back to adults, we are from Jinling, and this time we are going to visit relatives in Chengdu Mansion on Yizhou Road. The coachman stepped forward and offered the way.
The master took it and looked at Lu Yin, and nodded towards the county order.
"Visiting relatives," the county magistrate stroked his beard and said slowly, "Tell me, did you hear anything last night?"
All five shook their heads, "I haven't heard anything." ”
As soon as Holly spoke, she was startled, because her voice was low and hoarse, not her own voice at all.
Glancing at the shopkeeper couple kneeling on the ground and the girl who was always shaking with her head down, Holly suddenly realized that the lady was afraid that someone would recognize her voice.
"Lie!" The county magistrate's face suddenly sank, and he slapped the table heavily.
"Someone clearly saw that you went to the backyard last night, you," the county commander pointed to the kneeling girl on the ground, "you can identify if they burst into your room last night and beat up the three officers?"
The girl kneeling on the ground raised her head, revealing a small face the size of a palm, and a pair of big dark eyes turned around Mu Jin and Holly, and the light in her eyes flashed, "Lord Hui, it's not them!"
Isn't it? The county commander's face froze, and he turned to the two people in charge of the shop.
"You two come and see if it was one of them who broke into your daughter's room last night?"
The two of the shopkeepers raised their heads tremblingly, and the shopkeeper's mother-in-law turned the hanging triangle eyes Mu Jin and Holly for a circle, and finally landed on Holly's body.
"My lord, it's her, she was the one who rushed into our Hong'er room last night!" The shopkeeper pointed to Holly excitedly, "I recognize her shoes, she was wearing these shoes when she rushed in last night, no, it must be her." ”
Saying that, the shopkeeper took a step forward, crying and shouting: "My lord, we really don't know her, last night our Hong'er was really serving the three officers, but this girl suddenly rushed in and beat them, this has nothing to do with us, please be aware of it." ”
The girl named Hong'er suddenly collapsed on the ground, shaking her head with a pale face, "No, it's not her, my lord, it's really not her!"
Three black lines suddenly appeared on Holly's head!
Why did the lady just think about giving her a voice changing pill, but she didn't expect to remind her to change her shoes?
