Chapter 43: The Motivation Behind It

Xie Fanghua's face changed, and he immediately stepped forward to check the old man's pulse.

But when she got closer, she found that the old man was exhausted.

She raised her head and said to Qin Zheng, "The person is dead!" ”

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, "Why?" ”

Xie Fanghua said, "It stands to reason that this kind of hypnotism I use cannot kill people." When the words fell, she glanced at Li Yun, "Even if you are old, you will not die." Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

Xie Fanghua looked at him and said, "Unless, this name and this matter are secrets that he can't say in his heart, under the struggle, he can't vomit, he can't get up in one breath, and he is exhausted." ”

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows.

Xie Fanghua pursed his lips, looked at the old man on the ground and said, "His words are frightened, and his face is frightened, which shows the deep fear in his heart, and the consequences of saying it are more difficult than death." ”

Qin Zheng sneered, "I want to see what other things in the world are more terrifying than death." After the words fell, he stepped forward, approached another old man, and asked him, "Answer me, who promised you that as long as you pull Lu Yong off the horse, you will support the heirs of your clan to go up?" ”

The old man said, "Yes...... Be...... It's ......"

I didn't say anything for a while, but there were large beads of sweat rolling down my forehead, and my face became more and more frightened.

Xie Fanghua immediately said, "If you don't stop, this person will also die." ”

"Death is death!" Qin Zheng's face was gloomy, and he grabbed the old man's collar, "Say, who is it?" If you don't say it, I will condemn you Fan Yang Lu clan for conspiracy behind your back and cause trouble in the military camp, and punish the nine clans of Fan Yang Lu clan! ”

"Don't ......," the old man screamed in horror.

"Say!" Qin Zheng looked at him fiercely.

"Yes...... I don't know who he is......" the old man grew in fright, "he is very powerful, he is dressed in black and masked, he can't see his face, he has a bowl on his body, and there are small worms in the bowl, as long as he puts it on the person's body, it can drive that person to do what he wants......"

"When did he find Fan Yang Lu?" Qin Zheng grabbed him by the collar and didn't let go.

"Yes...... It was ...... last year," the old man said.

"When was last year?" Qin Zheng asked again.

"This time last year......," the old man continued.

"Fan Yang Lu doesn't know who he is? How dare you block the lives of the whole clan? Qin Zheng asked again.

"Lu Yong is a white-eyed wolf who can't feed his family, back then, for his phase, how much did the clan bother him, but what about him, what has he given to the clan for so many years? Not only did he not help the clan, but he also stepped on the shoulders of his fellow clansmen and enjoyed the glory and wealth...... the old man said.

Zuo Xiang Lu Yong couldn't help it on the side, and was furious, "I also have to ask what the clan wants me to do all these years?" I eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king's things. Country before home. What about the elders of the clan? You want me to use my power for personal gain. No man is content. I have taken care of it more over the years, if it weren't for my care, Fan Yang Lu's family would have withered and had no interest, and it would have been over. ”

Qin Zheng glanced at Lu Yong and said lightly, "Zuo Xiang is too excited!" ”

Zuo Xiang choked, and Tie Qing was speechless.

Xie Fanghua glanced at Lu Yong, thinking that the contradiction between him, the left minister, and Fan Yang Lu's family that was exposed today seemed to be irreconcilable. Otherwise, it would be impossible for these old men of the Fan Yang Lu clan to want to step on Lu Yong and find another candidate, cooperate with others behind their backs, and engage in these conspiracies. He has lost all his face.

"So, you don't hesitate to take the lives of a clan to drag the left minister off the horse?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "The lives of a clan can't compare to the official position of Zuo Xiang?" ”

The old man shook his head, "That man said foolproof ......"

"A good one is foolproof." Qin Zheng sneered, "Why do you believe him?" Just how many bugs does he have? ”

When the old man heard the insects, he immediately showed a look of horror again, and for a while he seemed to be negotiating with heaven and man.

"If I don't say it, I will convict Fan Yang Lu and kill all the people, and the left minister will still be the high left minister, and he will not be implicated in the slightest." Qin Zheng grabbed him by the collar again.

"I ...... I believe him...... It's because ...... It's because ......" The man kicked his leg a few times, but there was no sound.

Qin Zheng let go of his hand and looked at Xie Fanghua.

Xie Fanghua glanced at it and said, "I'm out of breath." ”

And they died, and another one died.

There were five people from the Fan Yang Lu clan this time, and now two have died. There were three people left lying on the ground.

"If they're all dead, they'll have to be checked!" Qin Zheng grabbed another old man's collar, "Why do you believe that he can drag the left minister off the horse?" Give Fan Yang the benefits that the Lu family wants? If you don't say it, I'll kill you right now. ”

The man was terrified, "Don't kill me......"

"It's okay if you don't kill you. Say. Qin Zheng asked again.

I said...... Say...... He said...... "The old man struggled for a moment, kicked his leg and died."

Qin Zheng frowned, let go of his hand with a cold face.

No one spoke in the camp hall for a while, it was obviously summer, and I felt that it was extremely cold.

Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to the other old man, grabbed him by the collar, and said coldly, "I want to see what kind of person it is today, which makes people so scared." ”

Xie Fanghua stretched out his hand to stop him and said softly, "It is estimated that these two people are dead, and they can't ask anything anymore." Why don't you ask something else? ”

Qin Zheng looked at her.

"For example, the murder of Imperial Doctor Sun, the case of the organ boulder, the case of the siege of wolves, and the death of Lord Han." Xie Fanghua said.

Qin Zheng nodded and asked, "Did you kill Imperial Doctor Sun?" ”

The old man shook his head, "No. ”

"In addition to sending Lu Yi to the barracks, what else did Fan Yang Lu do?" Qin Zheng asked again.

"Waiting for Lu Yi to die, after Lu Yi dies, Fan Yang Lu will find the person who killed him to pay for his life...... the old man said.

Qin Zheng's face was cold, "What else?" ”

"I didn't ...... There is no ......," said the old man.

Qin Zheng looked at Xie Fanghua.

Xie Fanghua said, "This can only be done, we can't let these five people die, we must keep two." ”

Qin Zheng nodded, withdrew his body, stood up, and looked at Zuo Xiang, "How does Zuo Xiang think this matter should be handled?" ”

Zuo Xiang Lu Yong had calmed down at this time, and bowed his hand to Qin Zheng, "Since Lu Yi's death is none of Li Yun's business, Li Yun should be acquitted." But the death of Imperial Doctor Sun, the organ boulder case, the wolf siege case, and the death of Lord Han must be investigated clearly. ”

Qin Zheng nodded, "Zuo Xiang thinks, next, what about such a check?" After all, it's about you at this time. ”

Zuo Xiang's face was not good, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given full authority to the little prince, and the little prince can investigate as much as he wants." If the cooperation of the official is required, the official will naturally spare no effort. ”

"Fan Yang Lu's ......" Qin Zheng took two steps, turned around, and said, "These two living people, wake up later, and leave them to Zuo Xiang to deal with." In addition, you can dispose of these three dead people as well. ”

Zuo Xiang immediately said, "The little prince is in charge." After all, I am a relative of the same clan of the Fanyang Lu clan, so I should always avoid suspicion. ”

Qin Zheng smiled, "The left minister doesn't have to avoid suspicion, in ancient times, there was a righteous killing of relatives, which was loyal to the monarch and patriotic." This case was not hastily closed because this hypnotism made them say something in their hearts. Always wait for all the cases to be investigated, and only after the truth is cleared up, can you ask the imperial uncle to surrender the crime. ”

Zuo Xiang bowed his head, "In this case, these uncles should be handed over to the lower officials." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Qin Zheng said to Xie Fanghua, "Wake up the remaining two people." ”

Xie Fanghua nodded and woke up the two living old men on the ground.

After the two old men woke up, they looked around blankly, then looked at each other, and then looked at the three old men lying on the ground, all of them showed panicked expressions, "You guys...... What have you done to us? ”

"Zuo Xiang stay and explain!" Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to grab Xie Fanghua and walked out.

"Little Prince!" The old man of the Fan Yang Lu clan shouted.

Qin Zheng didn't hear it, and took Xie Fanghua out of the camp with an umbrella.

Outside the camp, he stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go there and have a look." ”

Xie Fanghua looked at his hand, and saw that it was under the window of the room where Han Shu was, she nodded and followed him.

The two of them went to the window and looked at the wall in front of it for a moment.

Qin Zheng asked, "What might you see?" ”

Xie Fanghua shook his head, "There is no trace." ”

Qin Zheng said in a low voice, "The hundred hidden guards that Qin Yu put here, do you have any way to find out people?" ”

Xie Fanghua pursed her lips and thought for a while, "Because the hidden guard has been cultivated since childhood, his mind is unusual, and even more, the royal hidden guard is even more powerful than the ordinary mansion hidden guard, and can resist hypnotism and the like. Hypnotizing them is not beneficial. What's more, a hundred people ......"

"Naturally, your hypnotism can't be used anymore, and it will wear out your body." Qin Zheng stopped her words.

Xie Fanghua looked at him, "It's better to call those hidden guards out first, and we'll take a look." ”

Qin Zheng nodded and shouted softly, "Moonset." ”

The moonset came out in response and stood behind Qin Zheng, "Little prince! ”

"Call out the hundred guards." Qin Zheng commanded.

Yueluo glanced around, nodded, snapped her fingers lightly, and a hundred black-clothed people appeared in four clicks, all of them were masked in black, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Qin Zheng held an umbrella and looked at them through the rain, "Last night, you were guarding here, but did you see someone in front of this bed and killed Han Shu with a golden needle?" ”

The hundred people shook their heads in unison, "No." ”

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "If not, where did the golden needle come from?" ”

Hundreds of people shook their heads in unison.

"You were there last night?" Qin Zheng looked at the moonset.

The moon fell and his head fell, and he was also puzzled, "Back to the little prince, I was there last night, and I really didn't hear any movement in Lord Han's room?" ”

Qin Zheng swept around the hundred people, and then turned around and ordered, "Come on, call out the soldiers who were on duty on the periphery of this camp last night and stand up in turn." ”

Someone answered and went down.

In a short time, five hundred soldiers stood in a row.

Qin Zheng pulled Xie Fanghua, held an umbrella, and walked towards the five hundred soldiers, walking in rows.

After walking in front of all the soldiers, Qin Zheng turned back and waved his hand to a general, "Let's all go down!" ”

The general retreated with five hundred soldiers.

Qin Zheng looked at the hundred hidden guards in the rain again, and waved his hand at the moonset, "You guys should go down too." ”

As soon as the moon set and waved his hand, the hundred people also retreated. He didn't retreat, and said to Qin Zheng, "Little Prince, these hundred hidden guards are responsible for guarding the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince. Sent by His Royal Highness, he has followed His Highness since he was a child. Lord Han's death must be unrelated to these people. ”

Qin Zheng looked at him, "So, you come and tell me, who is it, under what circumstances, can escape the sight of a hundred hidden guards and five hundred soldiers, and kill Lord Han silently?" ”

Yueluo looked at the room where Han Shu was, the heavy rain was still falling, and he was puzzled for a while.

"It rained so hard in the middle of the night, even if there was no thunder and lightning, there was always a loud noise. Therefore, some subtle movements may not be audible. Xie Fanghua said, "It's just that if these hundred hidden guards are okay......" she paused and sneered, "The golden needle pierced into Lord Han's vest can't be the golden needle by itself." ”

At this time, Li Muqing suddenly walked out with an umbrella and said, "Maybe, is it the wrong direction for us to consider?" ”

"Huh?" Qin Zheng looked at him.

Xie Fanghua also looked at him.

Master Han opened the window, looked at it, then closed the window again, and then went back to bed. These are just manifestations of the murderer's creation. Perhaps, the answer is to go to the room where Lord Han is, for example, the dark room, and then other mechanisms. Li Muqing said.

"You're right." Qin Zheng nodded, "The hundred hidden guards are Qin Yu's people, and they are not decorations. ”

"Yes, maybe I was arbitrary. Even if it is inferred that Lord Han opened the window and his clothes were damp, it may not be the golden needle that was shot at that time. Xie Fanghua said to Qin Zheng, "Let's go to Lord Han's room again." ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said to Yueluo, "You come in with me too." ”

"Yes!" The moon sets and bows its head.

The group returned to the camp together.

After entering the camp hall, the three dead old men had been covered with black cloths, and the other two old men knelt on the ground with a discouraged face, crying and pleading with Zuo Xiang. Zuo Xiang's face was very ugly.

Qin Zheng glanced at it, didn't speak, and pulled Xie Fanghua straight to Han Shu's room again.

After coming to Han Shu's room, Qin Zheng said to Yueluo, "Remove Lord Han's body from the bed and check it around." ”

Yueluo nodded, moved Han Shu's body underground, and began to inspect the room around.

Xie Fanghua also followed the moonset, from the bed board, to the wall, to the ground, and even moved the big bed, all the utensils in the room were checked, but no clues were found.

Qin Zheng's face sank.

Li Muqing was also puzzled, "It's really strange." ”

Xie Fanghua stood in front of the window again, opened the window, looked out of the window, and after half a sound, said, "There must always be a motive for killing." Someone killed Lord Han, what was the motive? ”

Qin Zheng suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Xie Fanghua continued, "For example, Imperial Doctor Sun was killed and I was intercepted, all because Lu Yi's corpse wanted to die without proof before destroying it, and framed the Li family of Zhao County. And what is the purpose of framing the Li clan of Zhao County? It was Fan Yang Lu's clamoring to compensate for the appointment, and it was a big fuss, so how could he pull the left minister off the horse? Also, what about Lord Han? Even if the prince said that he would hand over the case of the Criminal Department to Lord Han, Lord Han had not yet started to investigate the case. Why was he killed? ”

Qin Zheng frowned and pondered.

Li Muqing thought for a while and said, "Lord Han must have a reason to die, so he killed him." ”
