Chapter 96: Discovery
(Everyone is welcome to join the group, group number: 770873186)
After a careful search of Xu Mingda's mansion, Chen Xiaoting found a total of more than 300 taels of cash, which did not need to be recorded.
After he himself took a hundred taels, he gave the remaining two hundred taels to his men, and the wounded to give them more.
It is said that he has only been a small flag officer for a few days, but through various previous experiences and the means of dividing the silver now, the captains have really accepted him as a young flag officer.
Although Chen Xiaoting also left a hundred taels for himself, in the eyes of the captains, this is all as it should be, at least much more generous than Wang Youtian at the beginning.
Although he appeased his subordinates, the important matter was not over yet, and the bodies of Xu Mingda and several killers would definitely be brought back.
After digging a pit and burying the other corpses in the courtyard, Chen Xiaoting took the six corpses and hurried to Fucheng.
On the seventh day of October, the weather was sunny, but the temperature was a little lower.
Chen Xiaoting entered the 100 households in the morning, and he was in good spirits when he went out, but when he came back, he looked embarrassed.
It may be that Zhou Wenzhu of the hundred households wants to be questioned, so Chen Xiaoting did not let the captains disband, and strictly ordered them to keep their mouths shut.
"You're saying that by the time you arrived, Xu Mingda had already been killed?"
In the lobby of the hundred households, Zhou Wenzhu's face became very ugly, and the deaths of successive key people made him very passive.
Chen Xiaoting bowed and stood, and said, "Lord Hui, when we arrived, the killer had just finished committing the murder, and he was being blocked by us!" ”
"Is there a living mouth?" Zhou Wenzhu asked.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting said helplessly: "My lord, I am incompetent...... Failed to catch alive! ”
Although he said that he was incompetent, Chen Xiaoting still explained: "My lord, these people are all dead soldiers, and they don't want to die in a fight, and the lowly people can only beat them with all their might, who knows that these people have committed suicide by taking poison!" ”
Zhou Wenzhu's face was cloudy, and it was conceivable that he was definitely in a bad mood at this time, so Chen Xiaoting didn't dare to say more.
After a long while, Zhou Wenzhu asked, "Is there anything suspicious about the murderer?" ”
Although he knew that Chen Xiaoting would take the initiative to say if he found something, Zhou Wenzhu still asked.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiaoting said: "Back to my lordship, I checked the murderer's clothes and weapons with the captains...... And nothing was found! ”
"Even the face of the murderer was destroyed by themselves with sharp blades, and it was difficult to see ......"
Zhou Wenzhu's professionalism surprised Zhou Wenzhu, and things became more and more confusing, and he felt that the position of the hundred households under his ass was not so easy to sit on.
But at this time, Chen Xiaoting continued: "My lord, in fact, my subordinates also have a discovery...... The corpses at the scene were all cut throats and forced to die, which was almost the same as the White Lotus Sect's method of murder in the city! ”
Hearing this, Zhou Wenzhu's expression couldn't help but be shocked, and the information about the White Lotus Sect's crime suddenly appeared in front of him.
This incident shook the city of Guangde at the beginning, and the children of the gentry were killed repeatedly, and Wang Youtian was also killed by slitting his throat at that time.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wenzhu couldn't help but be furious, why is there a figure of the White Lotus Sect everywhere, what does it have to do with them this time?
"Don't spread this matter anymore, so as not to mess up people's hearts!" Zhou Wenzhu said in a deep voice.
But in his heart, he had already made up his mind to dig out the White Lotus Sect traitors in Guangde Mansion.
In fact, Chen Xiaoting still has an idea about this, but he got the news from Chen Benliang that the most prestigious Chen family in Guangde Mansion had colluded with the White Lotus Sect.
However, now Chen Xiaoting can't say anything about it, because he doesn't have any evidence.
The longer he stayed in Guangde Mansion, the more Chen Xiaoting knew Chen Benxian's energy, this was a big man who wanted to give him some face in the two Guangde Mansions.
Moreover, Chen Benxian and the White Lotus Sect have colluded for so long without being discovered, and they must be very clean in dealing with it from beginning to end, and they will not leave a handle on people.
Chen Xiaoting even dared to guarantee at this time that he said that Chen Benxian was a traitor of the White Lotus Sect at this time, and Zhou Wenzhu would only think that he was crazy.
At this time, Zhou Wenzhu also stood up and said to Chen Xiaoting: "Go, accompany me to see the corpse!" ”
At this time, the corpses were all in the courtyard outside the hall of the hundred households, guarded by Zhao Ying and others, just waiting for Zhou Wenzhu's inspection.
When Chen Xiaoting accompanied Zhou Wenzhu out of the lobby, the captains outside all knelt down on one knee and said, "See the Lord of the Hundred Households!" ”
Zhou Wenzhu ignored these people, but went straight to the corpses lined up, and ordered: "Blaze it away!" ”
After hearing this, Zhao Ying and the others hurriedly got up and opened the wrapping corpses, which were already stiff at this time, and the corpse spots looked very scary.
After carefully looking at the wound on Xu Mingda's throat, Zhou Wenzhu recognized Chen Xiaoting's guess even more in his heart, this was indeed the hand of the White Lotus Sect.
Because when Wang Youtian died, Zhou Wenzhu deliberately observed Wang Youtian's corpse, which was the same as Xu Mingda's wound in front of him.
After standing up, Zhou Wenzhu glanced at the body of the black-clothed man on the ground, and said, "Take it all out and dispose of it!" ”
After Zhao Ying and the others received the order, they immediately got up and started to move, and soon the body was carried out.
Standing in the courtyard, Zhou Wenzhu looked up at Zhao Ying and the others who were far away in front of him, and his face was thoughtful at this time.
Chen Xiaoting stayed aside, silent and silent, he guessed that he was going to be sent on an errand again.
"Sancai is the fifth master, Liu Guan is dead, Xie Ping is missing, Zhang Wu doesn't know if he asks San...... But there is one more missing! Zhou Wenzhu said slowly.
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but move, he was indeed one person missing.
"The civil strife of Sancai is not simple, and there are more people behind it than we imagined, why did Li Wen choose to stay out of it?" Zhou Wenzhu's expression was not good.
Li Wen, the leader of the three talents and the fourth, although he did not participate in this time, this is just a doubt.
After Zhou Wenzhu said this, Chen Xiaoting had a sense of sudden realization.
Oh, yes...... Why did Levine choose to stay out of the matter, and what made him choose to remain silent in that situation at that time.
Li Wen...... Looks like this person knows something! Zhou Wenzhu's tone was not good.
Chen Xiaoting seems to know what he is going to do!
Sure enough, I heard Zhou Wenzhu say: "Xiaoting, you take someone to Li Wen's house immediately, I hope he is not dead!" ”
"If you're not dead, bring it to me, and the official will ask me personally!" Zhou Wenzhu said in a cold tone.
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting knew that even if Li Wen was not killed by the killers of the White Lotus Sect, he might not be able to get out of Jinyiwei's prison.
Although he looked a little tired, Chen Xiaoting still said without hesitation: "Let's go!" ”
Zhou Wenzhu couldn't help but face Chen Xiaoting, and only listened to him: "I've worked hard for you this time, don't worry...... This official will definitely ask for credit for you! ”
I ask for credit for myself from the Lord of Chinohe...... It's strange to hear that.
Now among the 100 households in Guangde, the two chief flag officers are parachuted in from the thousands of households, and Zhou Wenzhu must be uncomfortable with this.
Although he is valued by the adults of thousands of households, if Zhou Wenzhu is really unhappy, life will never be better.
So Chen Xiaoting said: "The adults are serious, and the humble position cannot share the worries of the adults, how dare you speak out...... Occupy the position of a small banner without an inch of merit, and be afraid of being afraid of living up to the high expectations of the adult's promotion! ”
This sentence put the credit for promoting him to Xiaoqi on Zhou Wenzhu's head, which is a statement by Chen Xiaoting.
The meaning in it can only be understood, of course Zhou Wenzhu can understand it, I saw him pat Chen Xiaoting on the shoulder, and said: "You have the ability to entrust you with such a heavy responsibility, this official can rest assured...... You can do it boldly! ”
In these few words, Chen Xiaoting expressed his loyalty to Zhou Wenzhu, and Zhou Wenzhu also expressed his trust in him.
