Chapter 3 1 Murder Cases
And said that Wang calmly instructed: "Wu County Order, first, go and get a map of Dengfeng County for me; second, order the county to arrest and strictly guard the four gates, and carefully check suspicious people; third, inform their families and prepare for an autopsy; Fourth, and most importantly, issue a notice saying that the case is about to be solved, so as to appease the people in the city. "www.biquge.info Wu Yuanzi naturally responded, and immediately ordered someone to do it according to Wang Congrong's instructions."
Wang Congrong said to Yuan Zhehao: "Lord Yuan, you catch two mice, put one in a cage, and smoke it to death; The other, shot to death with a spiky piece of bamboo, was hung in the moat. Tomorrow at this time, bring it together, and bring the bamboo slices with you. After hearing this, Yuan Zhehao was a little confused, and he didn't know what Wang Congrong meant.
Wang Congrong said to Wu Qidi: "Please ask Mr. Wu to go to Dean Kang and ask for a roster of college students, and match their rankings, which is roughly good." Wu Qidi felt that Wang calmly handled things in an orderly manner, and he was a character, so he naturally received his life.
At this time, Kang Chengsheng came and said that there was another murder case in the hospital. Wang Congrong said: "Don't worry, Dean Kang, let's talk while walking." At the same time, a servant had already taken a map of Dengfeng County, with a detailed map and a brief map, and handed it to Wang Congrong. Wang calmly nodded, expressing satisfaction.
In a blink of an eye, everyone left the county government with Kang Chengsheng and went to Songshan Academy. Along the way, Kang Chengsheng talked about the murder case that he had just discovered: because he wanted to wash the dust for Wang Congrong and Mu Yingchun, and Mu Yingchun especially liked the iced pears in the academy, so Kang Chengsheng specially instructed the cook to make more. In order to store ice, the ice cellar is divided into large chambers and small chambers, and small items are in the small chambers, and the large chambers are generally sealed for storage. Since the Xiaoice cubes had run out at noon, the cook went to the big room to get the ice. As soon as he opened the door of the room, the cook found a corpse hanging in the room, and immediately reported it to Kang Chengsheng. When he came to the big room, Kang Chengsheng found that the deceased was a student of Songshan Academy, named Bian Wangtian. His limbs were pulled apart by ropes and fixed to the wall, a dagger was plunged into his heart, and he was cut *** another tragedy.
Like Wu Yuanzi, Kang Chengsheng added: "His father's name is Bian Dazhuang. In the academy, Bian Wangtian's grades can also be in the top ten, he is a diligent student, I haven't heard that he will have a grudge against others. The Bian family is next door to the longevity restaurant that Mr. Wang went to before, although the family business is not as good as the An family, the Chang family and the Shi family, it is also a big family. Bian Wangtian is still the only seedling in the next generation of the Bian family, and now he has died so miserably, if I don't solve the case as soon as possible, I will be unable to escape the blame, and I am afraid that the academy will not be able to protect it. Please also ask the gentleman to make more efforts. After all, Wang Congrong is a scholar, and it is difficult to keep Songshan Academy, which is the last thing he wants to see, after listening to Kang Chengsheng's words, he should make up his mind and swear to solve the case as soon as possible.
While speaking, everyone arrived at Songshan Academy, and the ice cellar was close to the north gate of the academy. Entering the large room of the ice cellar, everything was basically the same as what Kang Chengsheng said, and Yuan Zhehao was busy checking the body. Wang Congrong stopped and walked around the room, looked around, and not only found that Bian Wangtian's lower body had been stabbed multiple times, but also found that one of the ice cubes had been patched up by some broken ice, so he asked the officials to pry the broken ice open. After prying it open, Wang Congrong saw a pit like a face, and he felt very strange in his heart.
At this time, Yuan Zhehao had already checked it and said, "The dagger that goes straight to the heart is deadly. As for the time of death, it was too cold in the ice cellar to judge for a while. ”
Wang calmly asked the official to put Bian Wangtian down, and then said, "Lord Yuan still has to catch another mouse, and after killing it, get it here immediately, and see when the flesh and blood of the mouse can be like the deceased." At this time, Yuan Zhehao understood Wang Congrong's intention to let him catch mice, and happily accepted the order.
Wang Congrong said to Kang Chengsheng: "Dean Kang, you have to make a hard trip, let the county magistrate cooperate, and immediately gather all the students, teachers, cooks, and so on in the academy, at least to ensure that everyone does not leave the county and no more people die." As soon as the words fell, Kang Chengsheng and Wu Yuanzi began to order someone to do it. However, they went to invite Wang Congrong to the academy again. After a while, except for Qi Dengyuan of the Qi family, everyone basically arrived. Wang Congrong realized at this time that everyone was coming to wash the dust for him, so he said something praising Songshan Academy. Subsequently, Wang Congrong asked Kang Chengsheng why Qi Dengyuan did not come.
Kang Chengsheng said: "Their family is the big house that we pass by during the day and is being renovated. Qi Dengyuan's father's name is Qi Yang, and he is the leader of the county's wang clan. So, that big tile house is in the most central location of Dengfeng County. He won't let his son come, and we can't help it. ”
Wang Congrong asked: "What about Qi Dengyuan's results?" ”
Kang Chengsheng knew that Wang Congrong would ask this, so he said: "You can enter the top three." Then Kang Chengsheng added: "Qi Dengyuan not only has excellent grades, but at home, he has been able to assist his father in household chores, which is really rare!" ”
Wang calmly nodded and said, "I will definitely let him come to the academy tomorrow." Kang Chengsheng responded.
During the banquet, Wang calmly pulled Wu Yuanzi aside and spoke happily for a while. After finishing speaking, Wu Yuanzi led the officials out of the academy under the pretext of excuse. After the dismissal, as when he first came, Kang Chengsheng led Wang Congrong and Mu Yingchun to the attic in Tibet, which was where Wang Congrong lived when he first came, and it is also the resting place for the two now. After a little chat, Kang Chengsheng left because he wanted to arrange everyone's accommodation. In the private room in the attic, Wang Congrong found books such as "Chu Ci", "Han Fu" and "Tang Poems", and asked Mu Yingchun to read them slowly, and said: "These classics are all beautifully written and fluent. If you talk about easy understanding and artistic conception, it should be "Tang Poems", and Xiaomei will start reading from poetry. ”
Mu Yingchun asked: "When people read, they all start with the Four Books and the Five Classics. As a daughter's family, shouldn't I start with the biography of a martyr and a famous woman? ”
Wang Congrong said: "Those are classics, many of them are things that restrict people, don't look at them for the time being." If Xiaomei is willing to listen, I can tell the story of the martyr and the famous girl in the future. ”
Mu Yingchun nodded and said, "Then why did you read "Tang Poems" first? ”
Wang Congrong said: "Tang Poems, which is closest to us, is very poetic and easy to understand. In particular, some poems after the Anshi Rebellion can still reflect the lives of the people at that time. I think a large part of the eldest brother's attitude towards the people originated from here. ”
Seeing Mu Yingchun nodded, Wang Congrong said again: "Go, go to the inner room to see, appreciate it slowly, if there is something you don't understand, let's discuss it again." ”
Mu Yingchun said: "What? Brother Wang is still afraid that I will eat you? ”
Wang Congrong said: "My meat is a little old, I'm afraid it won't suit your taste." ”
Mu Yingchun understood the meaning of his words and said, "What if I want to eat?" ”
Wang Congrong hesitated, smiled, and did not answer. Mu Yingchun continued: "Okay, I won't tease you, I'll laugh." ”
Wang Congrong said: "Go, there will be guests coming in a while." After speaking, Mu Yingchun went to the back room on the left.
On the bookcase, Wang calmly laid out a blank piece of paper, opened two maps of Dengfeng County, and then polished ink while looking at the maps. After a while, Wang Congrong picked up the pen and wrote on the first line of the white paper: An Xiqing, Seven Heavens, Xishan Tianwang Temple, Growth Tianwang and other words, and connected them with arrows; In the second line, it is written: The words "Chang Zaixiao", "Five Heavens", "East Moat", "Bamboo Prison Cage", etc., are also connected by arrows; In the third line, he wrote: Bian Wangtian, the North Gate Ice Cellar, and the dagger piercing the heart are connected by arrows; Then in the fourth line, it is written: Shi Ru Earth, Yesterday, Nanshan Yama Temple, Fire and Smoke, etc., and also use arrows to designate in turn. After writing, Wang calmly looked at it, and the various phrases were neatly arranged in the corresponding column, and remembered the words of Wu Yuanzi and Kang Chengsheng, so he added their father's name in front of the deceased. Subsequently, Wang calmly connected the four cases, thought together, and fell asleep unconsciously.
