Chapter 34: Fang Dies
Yu Shi hadn't stayed in his own Chaoxi Courtyard for a while, and the stool under the fart had not yet been hot, Wan Zi swept into the hall of Chaoxi Courtyard like a sudden storm, and said to Yushi:
"Young Master! Captain Lin is here! ”
Yu Shi wanted to walk out of the hall and go to the dormitory, and after asking Wan Zi to invite Lin Chong into the courtyard, she turned around and sat down again in the hall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As soon as Lin Chong stepped into the hall, Wan Zi went down to prepare tea.
After Lin Chong saluted Yu Shi, Yu Shi asked him to say something urgent.
Lin Chong said: "My lord, my subordinates just returned to a compound in the north, and they received this note!" It was said that the shopkeeper of Yunlai Tavern in the afternoon asked him to bring it to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, but at that time, the adults and their subordinates were no longer in the north compound, so they missed it! ”
Yu Shi didn't say anything, and directly took the note presented by Lin Chong's hands.
The note was not written on rice paper, but on strips of cloth, and the strips of cloth used were still tawny satin torn from the robe in a panic.
When she pinched the gray-brown satin strip in her hand, Yu Shi's heart suddenly jumped twice, because she clearly remembered that when she met the shopkeeper today, the robe on his body was a round-necked robe made of gray-brown satin.
The message written on the strip of cloth was simple, just two words - help me!
Even if he had been prepared to die generously, when people faced sudden danger, they still instinctively chose to save themselves, so when the shopkeeper Fang felt the crisis approaching, he chose to ask Yushi for help, but unfortunately Yushi did not know the distress message of the shopkeeper Fang in a hurry at that time.
Yu Shi stood up and asked, "...... shopkeeper Fang now?"
Before coming to the Jade Mansion, Lin Chong first understood the situation of the shopkeeper Fang, and he would naturally answer:
"Dead!"
When Yu Shi heard this, the strip of cloth between her five fingers was slowly tightened, if she said that she didn't feel guilty in her heart, it was her self-deception, but she also knew that the guilt at this time was so redundant.
If you have time to feel guilty, it is better to use this time to catch the murderer of Fang's shopkeeper!
When Yu Shi and Lin Chong both stepped out of the gate of the Jade Mansion, they happened to meet the jade general who returned home from outside, and the jade general looked at Yu Shi and Lin Chong who were in a hurry, and couldn't help asking:
"What's going on? It's going to get dark and you have to go out? ”
The jade general has no official position for a long time, but the jade will be the father of the jade pick, Lin Chong admires the jade pick the most, and even every time he sees the jade general, he will also salute the jade general very politely, although the jade general has been dissuaded many times that it is not necessary to do so, but Lin Chong insisted on going his own way, and the jade pick also said to the jade general, let Lin Chong go.
Anyway, Lin Chong is a junior, and Yu will be an elder, so he has the right to be a junior.
As soon as Yu Shi said this, the jade general was also calm, and Lin Chong was even more calm, and both sides were good.
Lin Chong saluted the jade general as usual on the side, and Yu Shi replied directly:
"Father, there is something wrong with the case in my hand, I have to go out of the house to investigate immediately, if I come back late tonight, my father and Xiaozhi don't have to worry, just rest first!"
After speaking, before the jade general could react and ask for something, the jade pick had already taken the stiff rope of the horse that the subordinates had drawn out from the stable in the house, and one fell over and got on the horse, and then with a soft click, the horse neighed in a low voice and ran quickly.
Lin Chong hurriedly turned over and got on his horse to follow, leaving the jade general with his mouth open and half a sentence in his mouth, staring at the dust rolled up by the galloping horse on the street in amazement.
When Yu Shi took Lin Chong to the Yunlai Tavern on Pinlai Street, the tavern was surrounded by the brocade guards sent by Lin Chong, whether it was the front door or the back door of the tavern, they were all guarded by brocade guards, and no one could enter or leave.
Yunlai Tavern has a sluggish business because Zhong Qingchi was assassinated in Beijing, although the shopkeeper did not say it explicitly, but Yu Shi can still guess that someone must have known that Zhong Qingchi is the boss behind Yunlai Tavern, so after Zhong Qingchi was assassinated, he then attacked Yunlai Tavern.
It's just that at that time, the Yunlai Tavern was still not up to the level of that person's poison, so it didn't kill it all, but just used some means to block the tavern's financial route.
But Luo Gong and Yu Shi came to the Yunlai Tavern, and after Luo Gong left, Yu Shi also went to the backyard of the tavern to talk to the shopkeeper Fang behind closed doors, and the man was no longer satisfied with only blocking the tavern's financial route, but directly killed the shopkeeper Fang's mouth.
As for why that person was able to kill Shopkeeper Fang before Luo Gong and Yu Shi found Shangyun to come to the tavern, Yu Shi thought, it was probably because that person didn't know that Shopkeeper Fang would know something about Zhong Qingchi before.
Yu Shi asked, "Where is the body of the shopkeeper Fang?" ”
Lin Chong said: "Next to the staircase of the corridor on the second floor of the tavern!" ”
Fang shopkeeper was lying on his stomach facing down to the ground and died, the fatal wound was from the back to the chest with a sword piercing the heart, feet to the corridor, head to the staircase, obviously Fang shopkeeper wanted to run down the second floor for help before he died, but the murderer pierced the heart with a sword from behind, and was instantly assassinated to death.
Yu Shi carefully examined the fatal sword wound of the shopkeeper Fang, and always felt that this wound was very similar to Zhong Qingchi's fatal sword wound, and she said to Lin Chong:
"When I asked him to perform an autopsy, compare the fatal wound of the shopkeeper with the fatal wound of the attached master."
Lin Chong said: "Yes, my lord! Do you think that these two wounds piercing the heart with one sword may be the work of the same sword? ”
Yu Shi nodded and said, "Yes." ”
After Lin Chong instructed Yu Shi's words, the body of the shopkeeper Fang was quickly carefully examined by the servants who arrived later, and he followed Yu Shi to the lobby to ask the shopkeeper and the other people in the tavern for confessions.
The autopsy results came out quickly, and there were no other injuries on the body of the shopkeeper except for the fatal wound of a sword piercing the heart, as for the fatal wound of the shopkeeper Fang, after careful examination and comparison, it was indeed stabbed by another sword as expected by Yushi.
The time of the death of the shopkeeper Fang was also about two o'clock in the afternoon, that is, not long after he asked Yu Shi to send a distress message, he was killed.
Yu Shi thought about it, and at that time she and Lin Chong were in the alley of Yuerjing Hutong.
The confessions of the shopkeeper and the other helpers in the tavern were also useless, except for the shopkeeper who heard the last scream of the shopkeeper, the others didn't hear anything, and they all ran up to the second floor after the shopkeeper shouted.
Because there were no guests in the tavern at that time, except for the shopkeeper who was still wiping in the lobby, looking at the door of the tavern hoping that there would be a guest coming to the door, everyone else was lazy in the backyard.
Yu Shi asked: "Since there are no guests in the tavern, why did the shopkeeper go to the second floor?" ”
The shopkeeper recalled: "Originally, the shopkeeper was not on the second floor, but the little one remembered that the little one was wiping the table at that time, and the shopkeeper didn't know what was going on, so he suddenly rushed to the lobby from the backyard, and after looking around in the lobby in a panic, he hurried up to the second floor!" ”
At that time, the shopkeeper had just heard another guy in the tavern say that he was going out to deliver a letter for the shopkeeper Fang, and when he turned his head, he saw that the shopkeeper Fang had gone up to the second floor with a panicked face, and he almost rolled down the stairs in the air.
