Chapter 454: The Seriousness of the Matter
Gongsun Jian's words seem to have some truth in the first grade, but after all, it's just nonsense.
Everyone understands this truth, but understanding is different from doing.
"Cut."
To Gongsun Jian's slight disappointment and no surprise, Gu Ling'er on the other side directly rolled his eyes when he heard his words.
Seeing this, Gongsun Jian didn't bother to worry about a little girl's family, and hurriedly looked at Liang Bang beside him.
The other party instantly instructed, and hurriedly ordered the catcher in his yamen to lead the way in front.
The deceased's name was Hong Xian, the boss of Lin Buzhuang, the magistrate of Dan County, and there was a married couple in the family and a concubine in Xinna.
In addition, there is only one son, and the people are not very prosperous.
When he first came to Hongfu, Gongsun Jian couldn't help but sigh that Dan County is Dan County, which is much richer than Tianyuan County, where he served as the county commander at the beginning.
Just this inconspicuous cloth village owner, the house alone has hundreds of square meters, more than a dozen people, just the furnishings in the hall can buy Gongsun Jian's house in Linlang County.
At this time, several masters of the Hong Mansion in the hall were already in place.
After all, they are not stupid, the old man is dead, if someone disappears, then don't want to clear the suspicion on your body.
Sitting on the main seat is a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face who has a good body, and it can be seen that this woman was also a beauty when she was young.
Just at a glance, Gongsun Jian saw that this woman was Hong Xian's wife, Lin Shuyun.
I have to say that the women who can marry into the wealthy families in the county are not ordinary, and this name alone is much better than the women that Gongsun Jian met in the past.
Sitting on the left is a young woman about twenty years old, with a melon seed face, dressed more energetically than the dignified and decent Lin Shuyun.
The one who can sit on the left, Gongsun Jian understands that this person is Chen Lingmei, the concubine newly recruited by Hong Xian at the beginning of the year.
To be honest, Chen Lingmei and Lin Shuyun, two women, as long as they are normal men, will choose the former.
After all, she is young and vibrant, far more pleasant than Lin Shuyun.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the old husband and wife have no feelings, or have any major contradictions, otherwise, with the current atmosphere of the Great Zhou, few people will take concubines.
After all, there is only one wife in today's official family, and the emperor does this, so the people below will naturally follow suit.
So much so that in today's Great Zhou world, more than ninety percent of those who marry a wife are married.
There is also a reason why this is the case, the Great Zhou Taizu may be because of the difficulty of women, so he discussed with the ministers and set the law that if the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious, it is possible to reconcile.
After hundreds of years of history, even if you marry a divorced woman, no one will say anything.
Of course, although there are some women with a majestic and evil spirit, most women cherish their reputation, after all, this Great Zhou is still an ancient society after all, and most of the labor is still based on physical strength, so although the status of women has improved, they are still in a weak position.
It is precisely because of this that when she learned the news of Gongsun Jian's refusal to marry, Gu Linger left the palace in a rage and came to Linlang to find Gongsun Jian's revenge.
In Gongsun Jian's mind, Hong Xian may have had a major conflict with Lin Shuyun, so that he dared to admit Chen Lingmei into his door at the beginning of the year.
It's just that what makes Gongsun Jian a little strange is that since the relationship is not harmonious, why didn't Lin Shuyun leave?
Immediately, Gongsun Jian looked at a young man sitting on the right side of the hall. Don't think about it, he must be Hong Chengyang.
Perhaps because he inherited his parents' genes, Hong Chengyang is more handsome, at least Gongsun Jian thinks he is much more handsome than himself.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Jian was quite depressed, after all, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, the word handsome seemed to have nothing to do with him.
The three people in the hall saw Gongsun Jian and his party walking in, and quickly stood up to greet them.
"Lord Liang, you must find out the real murderer for my family!" The first to speak was Lin Shuyun, who had a sad face.
"Mrs. Lin, don't worry, this official will definitely find out the real culprit." Liang Bang said to Lin Shuyun with a smile on his face.
However, then he thought of Gongsun Jian beside him, and quickly changed his words: "With Lord Gongsun here, he will definitely help you find the real murderer." ”
The smile he smiled when he saw Lin Shuyun, and Gongsun Jian was a little surprised in his heart.
"Could it be that these two have any unusual relationship?"
On the other side, seeing Liang Bang mentioning Gongsun Jian, he suddenly asked with some curiosity: "Who is this Gongsun Lord?" ”
"The head of the criminal department, Gongsun Jian, Lord Gongsun." First, Chong Gongsun Jian showed a flattering smile, and Liang Bang hurriedly answered Lin Shuyun's question.
As soon as these words came out, the people present were directly stunned, and Lin Shuyun on the opposite side directly saluted Gongsun Jian, and said with great grief: "Lord Gongsun, you must find out the real murderer, otherwise my father-in-law will not be blind." ”
As the so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Gongsun Jian can break through the prestige of Linlang, so don't think about it, it is definitely not easy for ordinary people.
"Mrs. Lin doesn't need such a big gift, this official, as the head of the Criminal Division of Linlang County, will definitely avenge the grievances of Master Hong."
An old man saluted himself, Gongsun Jian didn't dare to bear it directly, so he hurriedly returned her salute.
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Gongsun Jian still has to do enough etiquette for older people, at least on the surface.
What's more, Da Zhou has always been generous to others, if Gongsun Jian dares to directly accept Lin Shuyun's gift today, then it is not surprising that tomorrow the entire Linlang will be rumored everywhere that Gongsun Jian, the head of the criminal department, does not understand etiquette.
In this way, Gongsun Jian's career development is even worse.
After hurriedly returning Lin Shuyun's salute, Gongsun Jian hurriedly looked at Liang Bang on the side.
"Lord Liang, when did the deceased die?" Gongsun Jian asked softly.
After all, in front of the family of the deceased, Gongsun Jian is not good at talking loudly about the deceased who has died.
Over there, Liang Bang naturally understood that Gongsun Jian meant to ask him to call the man to report the time and cause of his death.
After all, Gongsun Jian is a county official, although he has been here for a day, but he doesn't know Gongsun Jian, so he doesn't ask Liang Bang, who do he ask?
So he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to call him over.
"My lord, the deceased died in the room at noon today, but his reason is really strange." He touched his long beard with a strange look and said.
Danxian is an elderly man in his fifties, and there is obviously an apprentice-like person following him.
"What's this strange method?" Without waiting for Gongsun Jian to ask, Liang Bang on the side asked reasonably.
"It looks like a knife wound, but it also has traces of poison." After a slight hesitation, he hurriedly told what he had discovered.
"Why did you end up dying?" Liang Bang hurriedly asked.
"First he was wounded by a knife, and then he caused poison hidden in his body, and finally he died." Relying on his own experience, he made the inference.
"That means the deceased died of poisoning?" Liang Bang said a little depressed.
After all, in the end, he died of poison, so let's just say it, why do you have to go around the corner?
"Lord Liang's words are wrong, if there is no knife wound, maybe the deceased will not be killed directly, so the cause of death can be said to be killed by a sharp weapon, or it can be said to be poisoned." Regarding Liang Bang's words, he obviously didn't agree very much.
Liang Bang was directly trembling with anger by these words.
"Isn't this still poisoning to death?" Liang Bang somewhat admits death, after all, although the knife wound is the cause, the fatal is the poison.
As soon as Liang Bang said this, the old man over there suddenly blew his beard angrily.
In the face of the county order, he will not be stunned at all. After all, he has full confidence.
Just with that full head of silver hair, even if the county guard came, he could say a few words.
Seeing that there was about to quarrel here, Gongsun Jian on the side hurriedly stood up to play a round.
"Dare to ask, can there be a difference between these two causes of death?" Gongsun Jianwei weiwei hugged Qi Zuo and hurriedly asked.
Although Gongsun Jian's question seemed a little stupid, Gongsun Jian himself felt that the poison and knife wounds were likely caused by the two of them.
Otherwise, just one thing can kill Hong Xian, so why do you need to do more?
"Who is this?" Seeing Gongsun Jian asking, he looked at Liang Bang with some curiosity.
At this time, Liang Bang saw Gongsun Jian standing up, and naturally knew that it was not the time to lose his temper with the old man, so he hurriedly introduced the old man.
"This is the head of the Criminal Division of Linlang County, Gongsun Jian and Gongsun Lord."
"Lord Gongsun?"
The old man was obviously a little confused, Gongsun Jian naturally knew about it, shouldn't it be in the county town? How did it appear in Dan County?
"Master, Lord Gongsun came yesterday." The little apprentice on the side saw that his master was a little confused, and hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.
"Lord Gongsun, please forgive me for my disrespect, I didn't know that you came to Dan County, otherwise I would definitely go to see you."
With the apprentice's reminder, the old man woke up in an instant, and then said such a sentence that he didn't know whether it was true or false.
Of course, regardless of whether this is true or not, but since it has been said, Gongsun Jian must respond.
"The old man is wrong to say this, it should be me who is going to visit you, how dare you come to me?" Gongsun Jian hurriedly said something with a smile.
After all, he is still working on the case at this time, and this is not the time to talk about family life.
"Old man, dare to ask if the deceased was first hit by chronic poison, and then because of the poison burst out due to a knife wound, and finally died?" Gongsun Jian hurriedly asked what he was most concerned about.
Over there, I was still thinking of talking to Gongsun Jian about a few light old things, but when I heard Gongsun Jian ask about what he cared about the most in this life, he quickly changed his mind and thought about the situation he had just observed for a while.
Only then did he stroke his beard and said with a smile: "My lord, the deceased is indeed what he said now, he was poisoned first, and then he was stabbed. ”
Obviously, when facing Gongsun Jian, Lao Qizuo had lost the dissatisfied attitude towards Liang Bang just now.
"Maybe this old man knows something, right?" Seeing this, Gongsun Jian echoed in his heart.
Fortunately, he still understood that he was not going to take Liang Bang down today, so he quickly turned around and looked at the three masters of the Hong Mansion who were present.
"Mrs. Lin, has Master Hong offended anyone in normal times?" Gongsun Jian asked.
After all, the system has not given him a task yet, and Gongsun Jian doesn't know who the real murderer is.
Over there, seeing Gongsun Jian asking herself, Lin Shuyun quickly restrained her grief, and after thinking for a while, she said: "My lord, Lao Hong is a businessman after all, and it is inevitable that there will be some competitors in ordinary times. What does that make me say? ”
In the end, Lin Shuyun was obviously a little embarrassed.
Hearing her words, Gongsun Jian understood that his question was not detailed enough, so he hurriedly asked again: "Mrs. Yang, what kind of enemies did Master Hong have when he was alive?" ”
"Although Lao Hong is dominating the mall, he still understands the truth that the mall belongs to the mall, so there is no one who has much hatred at all." After thinking about it for a while, Lin Shuyun hurriedly said.
