The two immediately ran over, "My lord, what's wrong with the Queen Mother and you?" Do you want you to investigate Zhu Zhi'an's death?"

Song Ci nodded, "Miss Yue, this matter is really right by you, it is true, in fact, the Queen Mother wants me to investigate this matter, Song is still a little high-minded, after all, my Da Song also has some hope, right?"

"Hehe, you see that we adults are happy, he hasn't been so happy for a long time, it's really rare!"

As they walked ahead, they soon saw Wencheng Wenwu standing outside an inn, waiting.

"My lord, we have already chartered this inn, after all, we have hundreds of people, and we have traveled a long way, and the soldiers have been walking for half a month, and they are already tired."

Song Ci nodded, and when everyone entered the house, there was a woman waiting for Ci Hou, more than thirty-five or sixteen, and her appearance was quite gorgeous.

Seeing Song Ci appear, she immediately said: "The folk girl has seen Lord Song, and I have heard of Lord Song's prestige for a long time, that is a Qing official who can be compared with General Yue Fei and Lord Bao in my Great Song, it can be described as Song Qing!"

Song Ci helped her up, and when she looked at the other party's face carefully, she was moved, "Girl, please get up quickly, Song is an important member of the imperial court, these are just Song's duties, they are nothing." ”

Lian Shi looked at Song Ci, she has not married so far, she runs this inn alone, because it is close to the palace, the security is very good.

Unconsciously, the two of them turned red, and this scene was seen by Xiao Xiangyue

Under her arrangement, Song Ci entered the house, and Qin Yue said in the house: "My lord, we have already seen your thoughts, you must know that it has been a few days since the death of Madame, and you have not renewed the strings, in my opinion, you may wish to consider this boss lady."

Xiaoxiang also echoed, "Yes, my lord, how good is Miss Yue, look at it, the adult is already in his thirties and about to be forty, and there is no one to take care of her life on weekdays, or will this matchmaker be handed over to me and Yue?"

Song Ci also didn't expect to be seen through, and he was extremely embarrassed and embarrassed at the moment.

"Okay Miss Yue, don't mention this in advance, let's not think about this matter for the time being, we still have important things to do, first of all, you go to Wencheng and ask him to call those ten people to me."

"Yes, sir."

"And Xiaoxiang, you go to find Wenwu, and then take someone to Lord Lu's mansion and bring Zhu Zhian's body to Song, I will conduct an autopsy today."

"Yes." They walked out at the same time.

Song Ci sat in the room, and if he didn't do it, he would work hard for a year, and at this moment, he was a little unaccustomed to investigating the case again.

Soon, Yue and Wencheng came to the house with these ten Zhu Zhi'an's people, and their hands were tied to prevent sudden murder during interrogation.

Song Ci in the room looked at them and immediately drank coldly, "Bold traitor, do you feel that you have the face to see us today?"

The sudden cold drink made their bodies subconsciously take a few steps on their hind legs, and they were not lightly frightened.

Zhu Zhi'an's deputy general is also among them, he is an important person, how can he be missing at this moment?

Zhongquan said in shock: "My lord, you are not allowed to be Hu, we are all running errands, how can we become traitors?" Besides, it is Zhu Zhi'an who is responsible for carrying out the development with the Jin people, what does it have to do with us?"

"Nothing to do with you? Then Song asked you, how long have you been with Zhu Zhi'an? What kind of person is he on weekdays?"

Vice General Zhou walked out, his face was dark, and his timidity had not disappeared from his bones, which was very scary.

He trembled and said, "My lord, what if..... If you answer truthfully, I don't know if it will be considered a meritorious service?"

Song Ci said: "If you belong to the truth and don't do anything to hide it, then I am willing to give you a chance to be lenient, provided that you have not done anything wrong."

"My lord, I have been on the border for ten years, but I haven't even killed a single person, what can you do in Xia? Are you?"

Song Ci thought to himself, as a soldier, is it too ridiculous to have never killed anyone, and at the same time, he is still an old man of ten years.

"In that case, then you tell Song, what are you doing under Zhu Zhian? At the same time, all the actions of the other party over the years will be revealed, otherwise, Song will never spare you.

"Yes, sir." Vice Zhou will continue: "In the border, the position is second only to Zhu Zhi'an, and in the next is his lieutenant, but unfortunately, it's just an empty name."

"You're a lieutenant?" Song Ci's eyes lit up, "Since that's the case, then you should be, I think why the emperor summoned Zhu Zhi'an back to Lin'an, you should know, don't you?"

Vice General Zhou already knew about it, and he already knew it when he was imprisoned in Lu Youfu, where did he dare to hide it at this moment?

"Lord Song, I know that you are the previous criminal officer, and at the same time I know that I can't hide anything from you, so now, if you have anything to say, just ask, anyway, if you know it, you will definitely say everything."

Song Ci nodded, "Since this is the case, then you, Zhu Zhi'an colluded with which officials in the imperial court, that is, you gave all the military salaries given by the imperial court to the Jin people, and which other adults knew about these things?" In short, my lieutenant general, there won't be only one Cao Lihong!"

Vice General Zhou had a bitter face, and he kept weighing it in his mind, but there was no result after all. "Lord Song, although he is a deputy general, Zhu Zhian has never told me about these things, and all the things are written between him and people in the court, and he doesn't know anything about it."

Song Ci was silent, he didn't know how much of this person's mouth was true, and he didn't know how many were false, but Zhu Zhi'an and his accomplices were true.

Song Ci was also not polite, and snorted, "Come on, I'm going to torture me, Song doesn't like to try the case like this, but there is no way, this person has a hard mouth, for the sake of Da Song, I have to do it." ”

Wencheng Wenwu immediately walked over and took out two ropes, one of which was tied to the beam.

"My lord, since this person is unwilling to tell the truth, then we will directly let him hang himself, and when he is about to die, we will put it down and continue to interrogate, and so on and so forth, until he tells the truth."

Vice General Zhou fell to the ground all of a sudden, and his head was smashed out of a bag, it was too scary, he couldn't bear this kind of pain

At the same time, there was a sour smell coming down from him, and he peed his pants.

Seeing this, Song Ci continued to ask, "Lord Adjutant General, at this moment, how long do you have to hide it?" If you continue to be hard-mouthed, Song really wants you to taste the torture of this Great Song!"

With the support of the soldiers, Vice General Zhou was set up, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand at all.

"Lord Song, in.... I really don't know anything in the next place, if I know Zhu Zhi'an's accomplices, how can I.... How can we let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions?"

Seeing him like this, Song Ci also believed a little, and then looked at the rest of the people, "Among you, if someone reports it and is confirmed by Song, when this case is over, I will definitely give you a way to live, regardless of the previous suspicions, how about it?"

Everyone was silent, they didn't know it, every day at the border, they were sleeping, eating, eating, sleeping, they hadn't fought for a long time, and their weapons were about to rust.

"Lord Adjutant General, since you don't know anything, then Song believes that you are, but do you know where Zhu Zhi'an was killed? No, you can't even tell the difference!"

He hurriedly said: "My lord, but I know this, do you want to go over to investigate the case?" In the next, in the next willing to take you there!"

Song Ci nodded, "Wencheng Wenwu, let everyone except the deputy general go, they are all soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty, it's just that they followed the wrong generals, and they don't have any major crimes, the crimes are Zhu Zhi'an, Cao Lihong and others." ”

"Yes, my lord, but what if they want to follow us?"

Song Ci thought for a while, "It's okay, if they want to, you can just accept it, but you can't barely know it, right?" At the same time, we also took a good look at this lieutenant general, and we couldn't let him escape, otherwise, we would have no chance. ”

Wenwu left, Song Ci and the others were also preparing to rest, they had to hurry early tomorrow morning, Zhu Zhian was killed on the way, even if he used the carriage, he had to work hard.

Soon, Xiaoxiang and Wen Cheng dragged Zhu Zhi'an's body downstairs at this moment, when Song Ci learned the news, he immediately came downstairs to take a look, under the white cloth, it was Zhu Zhi'an's body, some days, if it hadn't been placed in the shade, it would have already stinked.

Song Ci lifted the white cloth and saw that his body was already cold, like ice, and at the same time, there were dozens of wounds on his body, and the arrows had already been pulled out, and these wounds were big, and the fatal wound should be in the Adam's apple, where it was broken, causing him to die of not being able to breathe.

But it is also possible that he died of excessive blood loss, so many wounds are enough for him to drink a pot.

looked at the surface of the corpse, and then Song Ci looked at its head again, there were no wounds, the color of the eyelids and tongue tips was normal, even if other parts of the body were also examined, this person was not poisoned to death, nor was he hit by a heavy object, but indeed died by an arrow shot.

The murderer was very patient and waited on the road he had to go, or maybe there was an inner ghost in Zhu Zhi'an's team, so he .....

But Song Ci didn't dare to guarantee this kind of thing, and he could only infer it casually, and he had to go to the scene to investigate the specific situation.

"My lord, this Zhu Zhi'an has been dead for a month, since he has seen the body, can he be buried? I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, sooner or later his corpse will stink.

Song Ci responded, "Wencheng Wenwu, you take some people and drag the body out of the city for burial, we can't put it in the inn, after all, it will affect other guests." ”

"Yes, my lord."

Song Ci already knew that the murderers must be Tang Huo and Wu Xi, but everything pays attention to evidence, and some people will be dissatisfied with suspicion alone.
