Chapter 308: Longzhou County Case III
Someone had already walked out and came to the scene to kill someone, and he couldn't take the blow.
There are also people who know that they have blown it, and they will have the capital to show off in the future.
Song Qing and the others also walked out, and soon they had already opened outside the troupe.
"My lord, this thing is terrible, I think it's murder, what do you think?" Song Qingdao: "This is murder, and this guillotine has been transferred, but Song still has a suspicion, that is, this troupe did this deliberately, and its purpose was to kill this person."
"But the real reason, we don't know yet, if we want to know the truth, we can only find it little by little.
Someone had already gone to protect the official, and Song Qing and the others were sitting outside, wondering. What should the yamen do for a while, but they waited for a long time, but they heard someone cursing.
"It's too late, the yamen won't come out to investigate the case at all, they claim to wait until tomorrow.
Song Qing was speechless, and he didn't care at the moment, so he and the two of them found an inn on the street, planning to stay first, and wait tomorrow to see how this Zhizhou should deal with this matter. After paying the room money and shouting that the food was finished, they moved in, and Song Qing kept guessing about the murder just now.
There seems to be a thought in my mind telling myself that there are too many people who have offended officialdom here, has it caused dissatisfaction among some people?
For example, in this Longzhou City, the power of the Zhizhou here is much greater than that of the Zhixian County, who do they want to design to kill, but they are not ready to capture?
However, Zhizhou has countless ways to deal with them, such as directly closing the drama troupe and not allowing them to sing.
But why murder? Or maybe they have aroused the suspicion of their peers, so they did it deliberately.
Song Qing didn't know either, now he could only look for clues little by little, and all of this had to wait until tomorrow.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, everyone finally came to the opposite side of the troupe, and then finally saw someone from the yamen coming over, and the leader didn't know if it was Zhizhou, wearing official uniforms, and they quickly walked in.
Song Qing sat outside and watched, this matter must have been framed by someone, and at the same time, he was also a member of the troupe because outsiders couldn't go backstage at all.
"My lord, do you think that all the people in these troupes will be taken away? After all, everyone is going to be a murderer.
Song Qing didn't know, this matter completely depends on how this Zhizhou Lord tried the case, if it was changed to Qin Shui, he could still be serious and careful, if it was changed to another Zhixian, it was estimated that he had arrested a person casually, and then tortured into a trick.
Soon, a group of people came out of it, and they took a fat man, but he was not the head of the class, and I don't know who it was.
Is this the murderer? Song Qing didn't know that even the immortal trial would not be so fast, this person was undoubtedly wronged.
Zhizhou and a group of officials took this person to the state yamen, and it seemed that they were going to try the case.
Song Qing looked at their departing backs, and wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, forget it.
He said to the lieutenant general: "My lord, do you think this fat man is a murderer?" I guess it's unlikely, because Zhizhou is too powerful, and he arrested people in less than half an hour. ”
Song Qingdao: "Don't say that you are suspicious, even Song is suspicious, otherwise, Zhizhou will investigate this fat man, and I will go in and investigate the rest of the people in the troupe." As he spoke, the crowd walked inside, but unexpectedly, they were stopped.
"This guest officer, I waited for a murder yesterday, and today I refused to enter the interior, and at the same time refused to allow others to enter, the guest officer should leave.
Song Qingdao: "You misunderstood, in fact, Song wanted to go inside to help you investigate yesterday's murder, but I can't hide it, Song was also in there at the time, and he was very clear about the situation."
This person was shocked? Help yourself investigate the case? What are the identities of the three people in front of you? Didn't Lord Zhizhou already arrest the murderer? For.... Why did three more people come?
He shook his head, the curator had already explained that he would refuse anyone to enter, he didn't dare to stop him at all, and continued: "Several, you better leave, I wait for the class master to explain, I don't allow anyone to enter today, I'm really sorry."
Tang Yueyue said: "Why don't you get oil and salt?" Let's put it this way, our lord is the criminal officer of the Criminal Department, and I learned yesterday that you had a murder here, so I came to help you today, but I didn't expect it to be.....
"Miss Yueyue, don't be rude."
This person was shocked, he didn't expect that Song Tixing had already come, you said that anyone who has not heard of the emperor can understand it, but who can not know Song Tixing?
"My lord, are you really the criminal officer of our criminal department? How do I.... Why don't I want to believe it?"
Song Qingdao: "If it's fake, no matter how bold I am, I don't dare to pretend to be someone from the Criminal Department, don't you say?" Okay, you better go and help us find your class master, just say that Song is here. ”
He immediately ran out, not daring to slack off.
Tang Yueyue was still a little unhappy, "My lord, you said that this is also strange, why do people now say that he just doesn't want to believe it?" You have already said that you are a criminal officer, how can you be so presumptuous?"
Song Qing chuckled, "Miss Yueyue, maybe they don't want to believe it, but it's nothing, if it's Song Mou and me, I guess I won't believe it." ”
"But my lord, in my opinion, this class leader is very powerful, no matter who comes, shouldn't he come out to take a look? Is that reasonable?"
Song Qing didn't want to explain more, when such a thing happened, this class leader didn't want to see people, but he actually understood, after all, there were still many things to deal with.
Soon, the head of the class had already come, and it was the person who played Lord Bao last night.
He had already heard his subordinates explain, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so when he came to him, he simply knelt down with his legs and opened his mouth at this moment.
"My lord, are you really our criminal officer, Lord Song? My lord is wronged, I waited here to work hard and honestly to open a theater troupe, who would have thought that such a thing would happen.
Song Qingdao: "Class master, get up first, since Song is here today, I have to find a way to help you uncover the truth of the matter, there are many people here who are inconvenient to speak, I don't know if you are willing to take a step to speak?"
Soon several people moved to a hut, and then Song Qing closed the door with his backhand.
"Class master, you should first introduce the development of your drama troupe over the years, even if Song wants to know, don't you have to start from scratch?"
He nodded, and then opened his mouth, "My lord, to be honest, our opera troupe was actually established five years ago, when we were all friends who liked to sing opera, we gathered together, that is, we sang along every night, and it would be best if we could earn some money for tea."
"So, we rehearsed for a while, and after we had a tacit understanding, we raised money to rent a shop on the street, and I waited for a few to try it first."
"But my lord, it doesn't matter if you don't sing, you are startled when you sing, there are many audiences who like us to sing, and after the night, we calculated that in addition to rent and other expenses, we actually earned twenty taels of silver in one night.
Song Qingdao: "The first time you sang opera, and you still have this income without a reputation and reputation, it's actually pretty good, by the way, where has the class owner been, have you been running the troupe all the time?"
"Yes, sir." He kept nodding, "After we have sweetness, we plan to set up a drama troupe, and I am the head of the troupe, so it will not be long before our business is getting better and better, and in the entire Longzhou City, it has become a drama troupe that almost everyone knows." ”
"This person is afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, because of our growth, other theater troupes have almost no business, so let's do it, Liangzi is like this, my lord, do you say that we have offended too many people, and then someone deliberately framed us?"
Song Qing can't answer this question at present, anyway, things have come to this point, what can be met is that in this case, someone did replace the fake guillotine with the real one.
"Class master, can you tell me about this case, apart from this, has anything happened before? For example, someone is beaten for no reason, or falls and hurts something?"
"My lord, you are really right, this case is really there, and at the same time, more than once, I said my lord, who did you say did it?"
"And is it really a peer? After all, peers are enemies, and as soon as our troupe falls, they become a dominant family, don't you say, my lord?"
Song Qing was also thinking about this problem, he had a lot of worries in his heart, things had come to this point, and the case had become more and more obvious that someone had deliberately stopped it.
"Class master, can you tell Song, as far as the current Longzhou is concerned, in addition to you, how many opera troupes do we have? How far are these troupes from you?
The head of the class pinched his fingers and calculated, and then said: "My lord, I can't hide that in addition to our theater troupe in Longzhou, there are seven or eight large and small theater troupes, and the nearest distance is less than five miles away."
"My lord, could it really be that they committed this case? This is too ruthless, you say that your skills are not as good as others, why should you be ruthless? Whoever lives only once, don't you say?"
In this case, Song Qing still can't figure out the current situation, the fat man was taken away, I don't know what he has to do with this case?
"Class master, can you tell me who the fat man who was taken away just now in this case was playing when he sang last night."
"He used a guillotine, and the deceased was beheaded to death by him at that time, but he didn't know that the guillotine had been transferred, and the wooden one became real, so he could only say that the murderer was too bad.
Song Qing was silent for a while, "Then how many people are there in your troupe?" Whether it's in front of the stage or behind the scenes, you carefully calculate one and one counts. ”
The shopkeeper tilted his neck, and after a long time, he spoke, "My lord, there are seventeen of us in total, two of them are makeup, one is cooking, and there are cleaning, and there are thirteen people who sing, including me." ”
