Chapter 176: Snatching the Corpse
"There's one more question."
"Fewer corpses?" Zhao Que thought about it and said the doubts in his heart.
"Fewer corpses?" Li Chen seemed to have sensed the key to solving the case, why there were fewer corpses, it stands to reason that the people in the Criminal Department would not leave such flaws.
"Look, we must find these bodies." Li Chen said.
At the same time, Jiang Wei, Guo Yu, and Wang Gonggong were gathering together in the compound of the Criminal Department.
"The people from the Hanging Mirror Division began to ask, and I'm afraid that there will be something wrong with the remaining dozen or so corpses." Guo Langzhong said.
"The people below shouldn't be talking nonsense, right?" The prince asked.
"The population below us is tighter than the waistband of our trousers, but these dozen or so corpses are not small objects, and the people of Dongshan County are afraid of being seen by migrant workers when they pull the corpses." Jiang Langzhong of the Criminal Department voiced his concerns.
"Some things, if you can't handle them, will always be a problem." Guo Langzhong said.
"I'm afraid that this has to be brought forward by the prince-in-law, the county government and the noble officials below are under the jurisdiction of the department, and the hand of our criminal department can't be stretched out so long, I'm afraid this corpse will not come back." Jiang Langzhong said.
"Okay, then the old man will go, this little county order must be to sell the mother's face." Wang Gonggong said. Now these three people are grasshoppers on a rope, and he can't excuse himself.
"If you want to get the body back, burn it directly." Jiang Langzhong said. This matter could not be delayed, and the prince immediately rushed towards the direction of Dongshan County with more than ten guards.
"These incompetent officials, who eat the people's fat and people's ointment all day long, protect each other from top to bottom. This is drinking the blood of Great Qin and sucking the marrow of Great Qin. In the courtyard, Li Chen shouted angrily.
As expected, from top to bottom, from high-ranking officials to some small officials, they were all unified in caliber. No one knew where the corpse had gone, and when they asked a little deeper, they replied that they might have been taken away by the wild beasts in the mountains.
"Master Hou, or let's be executed." Zhao Que couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"No, the involvement is too deep at this time, and if you torture to extract a confession, I'm afraid that you will fall into the hands of others." Li Chen said.
This case not only involved people in the royal family, but also involved a large number of civil and military officials who shielded them, and the things that were tortured to extract confessions were probably the result of the investigation, and some people would also get out of this excuse.
"Zhao Que, send someone to ask the migrant workers, these dozen or so corpses are not small objects, and it is absolutely impossible to disappear out of thin air." Li Chen said.
"Master Hou, good news, the body should be in Dongshan County." Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhao Que to bring back good news.
On the day of the accident, the people from the criminal department had not yet arrived. The group of technical nerds in the Ministry of Industry are obviously a little unfamiliar with dealing with this kind of thing, and the case happened in Dongshan, and it is reasonable for the people of Dongshan County to take away the body. And when the Dongshan County Yala took away the body, it was not covered up, so there were still migrant workers who happened to pass by to see it. If this kind of thing is not asked, these migrant workers who can't read a single big word may not be able to think of it. But if you ask, I'm afraid it won't stand up to verification.
"Drive, drive, drive."
Zhao Que ran towards Dongshan County with the people of the Hanging Mirror Division, but the prince set off a few hours earlier than him, but Zhao Que's speed was a little faster than this eunuch, and for a while, this case became a battle between time and speed.
This Dongshan County belongs to the direct management of the internal history, and because of its proximity to Xianyang, it is also a rich and populous county. There was a plague in Dongshan Village under his rule, so he naturally sent someone to check it out as soon as possible. Originally, this county order also wanted to make some merit and avoid being impeached.
But it's good that this thing is not mixed, and this mixing is far from being as simple as it seems. Where did these people die of the plague, it was clear that they died of poisoning. Who would have thought that this matter would actually involve the prince. Now these corpses have become hot potatoes, and they can't be eaten or thrown away.
Dongshan County, county government
"Wang Gonggong, the contemptible person is the order of Dongshan County, I don't know what the prince has to do here." Dongshan County Ling said politely.
This prince is the celebrity in front of Liji Niangniang, but it is not a crime that he can be guilty of by a county order.
"I heard that your county yali pulled a few corpses from Dongshan Village, the weather is hot, and it is a corpse with the plague, if the plague spreads, you can bear the blame." The prince said in a voice.
This county order is also a human spirit, and when he heard what the prince said, how could he not know what it meant, so he immediately answered: "The people below are not sensible, let them check the situation, and pull anything to the county yali." It's just that now this case is not something that our small county government can handle, and no one from the criminal department will come to mention the body, so we can only keep it first. ”
"This hall is to help Jiang Langzhong of the Criminal Department to collect the body, and it also saves the county order to be embarrassed." Wang Gonggong said.
"Okay, let's hand it over now." The county magistrate said impatiently.
This county order was also refreshing, and he handed over the body to the people under the prince's hands. As the so-called gods fight, mortals suffer. This corpse is now the bargaining chip of the big guy's game, and if it is placed in the Dongshan County Ya for a day, this Dongshan County order will be afraid for a day.
The prince and his entourage did not dare to delay for a moment, put on a few carriages, wrapped the corpses in straw mats, and loaded them into the carriages. The corpse had been disposed of, and although it did not decompose, it still exuded a disgusting odor.
"Drive, drive, drive." The group drove the wagon and burned the corpse as soon as they left the city.
"Governor, see if it's the old turtle in front of you."
Outside Dongshan County, Zhao Que looked in the direction that his hand was pointing. I saw that the prince had already built a fire platform and was about to set fire to the corpse.
"Damn, let this old turtle get the first place."
"They want to destroy the corpses and rob them for me." Zhao Que gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.
"Ignite, ignite." The prince yelled hysterically.
When Zhao Que and the others saw them, they naturally saw Zhao Que as well.
"Governor Zhao, what are you doing?" Wang Gonggong stopped Zhao Que and the others. Although Zhao Que is Ying Shu's concubine, his official position on the surface is still the governor of the Hanging Mirror Division, and he is still commensurate with his official position on weekdays.
"Bang."
"Rush in, and if there is any obstacle, there will be no forgiveness." Zhao Que kicked the prince out and rushed inside with someone.
Zhao Que didn't know that this old turtle wanted to delay time, and after a while, these corpses might become charred corpses again.
"Stop them?" The prince gritted his teeth and shouted to his guards.
The old turtle could see clearly, although it was a big crime to block the case of the Hanging Mirror Division, as long as the body was burned, the people behind him would be saved. At that time, the people behind him will naturally save his life. If the people behind him are gone, it will be a real disaster for him.
"Bang, bang, bang."
It's just that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. How could he, the more than ten guards, block the Hanging Mirror Banner Envoy who was several times his own, and the fire was extinguished as soon as it was ignited.
"It's over." The prince sat on the ground and closed his eyes, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head.
Loading the body back into the carriage, before leaving, Zhao Que glared at the prince who was sitting on the ground, and said disdainfully: "Old thing, we will still see you." ”
