Final Chapter. 284
The Huang couple were originally immersed in a tragic atmosphere; Suddenly, from the direction of the main house gate, there was a loud noise! When the couple heard the sound, they turned their heads to look, and saw that Elder Guan's hardcore henchman Black Dog, holding an iron sword in his hand, had already crossed the threshold of the main hall and stepped into the inner compartment......
"Someone ...... coming"
Burst!
Madame Huang's sharp voice had just taken off, and a sword as fast as lightning had already pierced through her chest, instantly piercing Madame Huang's heart and blocking all her words; When Huang Jing saw that his wife was killed, he was filled with grief and indignation, and suddenly stood up from the bathtub, and just wanted to speak, but he only felt a flower in front of him and a cold on his neck......
There was only a trace of crimson left in his eyes......
In the early morning of the next day, eight family members of the Huang Mansion, carrying two large coffins with open lids, under the leadership of the old housekeeper Huang De, walked towards the Jiankang Mansion; When the two coffins passed by the gate of the Senate, those senators who were chatting in front of the door also saw a big "yellow" character on the two spirit flags carried by Huang De!
After a few people on the periphery rubbed their eyes and confirmed each other, they immediately shared the news with everyone!
It turned out that Huang Jing, a Gusu pharmacist who took the lead and was in the limelight yesterday, died like this after only one night's hard work! Not only did he not even leave a whole corpse, but he also affected his wife! There is no need to ask about this at all, it must be that they are borrowing the heads of their husbands and wives to demonstrate to us!
Jiankang City, the first good district of Nankang, has a murder case of such a bad nature, and no matter who investigates the case; Huang Jing's status as a senator alone is widely implicated, so it cannot be tried according to the murder case of an ordinary person. According to the consistent style of the three law divisions, it will take more than half a year at the earliest to reach a "rigorous" conclusion. So at this juncture, it doesn't matter who the culprit in this case is and whether there is direct evidence pointing to Guan Beidou.
Because for the number one suspects, Guan Beidou and the black dog, as long as Huang Jing dies, it will be like yellow mud stained with the crotch of his pants, not but!
Fortunately, they did this thing, and it is not unjust to be deducted.
When the Huang family carried the two coffins to report to the official, there was still about half an hour before the start of today's Senate. At this moment, the aged Chen Qingtai had just finished breakfast, and Chen Fu, the young housekeeper in the house, also ran into the side flower hall in high spirits......
"Master, something is wrong! Huang Jing is dead! ”
Chen Qingtai was gargling with strong tea, and after hearing the news, he swallowed the mouthwash directly!
"What? Huang Jing is dead? Didn't I tell you to stretch it for a few more days......"
"Master, don't worry, God is here for this matter! Huang Jing's death has nothing to do with our people! ”
After Chen Fu said this, he pretended to be mysterious and kept silent, his eyes were extremely reserved, and his two eyes looked at his master; And Chen Qingtai also frowned, habitually stretched out his four fingers, and repeatedly knocked on the table:
"Oh? Is there such a strange thing? It's not our people, and it can't be Guan Beidou's people...... Then he can ......."
"Sir! You'd be wrong! Whatever others say is a guess, but the villain can tell you the truth, the murderer is his person who Guan Beidou! ”
"Impossible! When pigs fly! Huang Jing let Guan Beidou not come down yesterday, and he killed people at night? Guan Beidou just can't do business, but his brain is first-class smart...... Boy, boy, don't always listen to the gossip on the street......"
"Master, although I don't have any evidence in my hand, the brothers we planted in the Yellow Mansion to keep an eye on yesterday saw the black dog climb over the wall and enter the mansion! You say, is this a rumor? ”
Hearing this, Chen Qingtai was also dizzy by this sudden accident. He never dreamed that Guan Beidou would break the rules so unscrupulously and carry out such a disgraceful assassination......
After being stunned for a long time, Chen Qingtai added with a fluke mentality:
"Huh? No, you said that our people saw the black dog climb over the wall and enter the house; So in other words, when he entered the house to commit murder, he was not masked? It's unlikely......"
"That's right! It's that dirty and shabby appearance, and it ...... turn to ashes."
"Broken, broken, broken! Hurry up and prepare your horses! ”
Sure enough, when Chen Qingtai came to the Senate, and just got out of the carriage, when he saw the shopkeeper of the King of Huishang, who recognized him as his "godfather" last night, and "patted his chest and packed the ticket" with him, his expression was like two people, and he didn't even dare to meet his eyes, and the whole person squeezed towards the back of the crowd......
was discussing the senators, and saw Chen Qingtai get out of the carriage and just wanted to rush forward according to the usual practice; But just a few steps, he showed hesitation on his face again, neither advancing nor retreating, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.
"Ahem...... Colleagues need not be alarmed, the murder of Senator Huang and his wife in the middle of the night is already known to the old man. Presumably, everyone has their own speculations about the reasons in this case, so I won't repeat them; The old man only said one thing: As long as the Council of Elders still has a place for my Liangjiang Merchant Gang, then no one can cover the sky with one hand and run rampant! The lives of the Huang brothers and their wives will not be given away in vain, and the murderers will also pay the price of blood! ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Qingtai threw up his sleeves and stepped onto the bluestone steps. Although the opening time of the Senate had not yet arrived, the two soldiers at the door looked at each other and did not have the courage to stop each other......
Huang Jing's death also reminded all Nankang officials: although this Di Ting is also a business group in name; But their main business is all dirty work that can't be put on the table. Even if there is no Song Xingzhou, the big Buddha, it is still not a mountain that they can shake!
Besides, although everyone knows it, Huang Jing died under the black hands of Di Ting because he was a "bird" once; But first, there is no direct evidence, and second, there is no love for fate; In addition, it will take half a year for the three legal divisions to straighten out the case and make a judgment; So today's Guan Beidou is still the acting president of the Elder Church who holds great power......
It's just that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it.
So, since Guan Beidou and the black dog entered the venue, everyone used their fearful and detached eyes to wander over the two of them repeatedly......
"Your Excellency, you came early, did you sleep well last night? Poor Dao is an outsider, and it was not convenient for your colleagues to drink last night, so please don't blame you...... Ay? What about Senator Huang? Did you drink too much and oversleep? ”
Guan Beidou had a sneer on his face, and while pretending to speak, he slowly walked behind Senator Huang's chair and rubbed the back of the chair repeatedly, as if touching Huang Jing's neck.
There was silence in the venue......
Guan Beidou sneered again, turned his head, pointed to a female senator on the outermost part of the Gusu Business Gang and asked:
"This girl...... Yes, it's you, may I ask the girl's name? ”
A woman with an ordinary face looked surprised, and hurriedly stood up and replied:
"I ...... My name is Mei Sang, and my family has been raising silkworms for three generations...... My grandfather was sick...... I... I can write......"
After saying this, Miss Mei, who was incoherent, timidly raised the paper in her hand and a jujube pen used by civilians.
"Good, good! Since Senator Huang is "hangover and not waking up", then Miss Meisang will fill the position of counselor, right? Elder Chen, I wonder if this discussion violates the constitution of the Council? ”
Chen Qingtai frowned, and replied according to the script:
"Anyone who is qualified to participate in the council can sit in the position of counselor, as long as no one in the Gusu business group clearly raises an objection."
"Well, in that case, then Miss Mei please sit down as soon as possible, and let's start the discussion as soon as possible."
Guan Beidou walked to his chairman's seat and sat down, just about to speak, only to hear Chen Qingtai cough heavily, and then looked at his "godson" Wang Shopkeeper; Instead of speaking, the other party turned around and pushed open the window, pretending to breathe in fresh air, obviously not wanting to participate......
"Ahem! Ahem......"
There were two more heavy coughs, but the other party turned a deaf ear like an iron heart; And Guan Beidou raised the corners of his mouth, and said to Chen Qingtai, whose face was as black as charcoal:
"Although it is the height of summer right now, Elder Chen is old, so be careful of the heat and steaming! Black Dog, send Elder Chen a Mental Qi Clearing Pill. ”
As soon as the words fell, the black dog took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a black pill from the bottle, and stretched out his hand in front of Chen Qingtai......
Suddenly, everyone cast their eyes on this elixir, waiting to see how Chen Qingtai would respond.
In fact, the Wang shopkeeper of the Huizhou Merchant Gang retreated from the battle, which was expected by Chen Qingtai. And he had already thought of a way to deal with it, so he came out to pick this head and question questions about Huang Jing's murder case; But now that he hasn't spoken, Guan Beidou has given himself a problem first!
Will he take this medicine or not?
Guan Beidou blatantly killed Huang Jing and his wife last night, and successfully scared off the second pioneer general "Wang Shopkeeper"; Now under the pretense of being a Taoist priest, he has sent a pill, whether it is poison or good medicine, who can say well?
If considered from a normal point of view, Huang Jing is just a small senator; And the reason why he was able to sit in the position of Su Shang's counselor was only because the Shen family was under house arrest. is such a small role, Guan Beidou will be killed, and he can't make too many waves at all.
But Chen Qingtai is not only the leader of the Liangjiang Merchant Gang, but also the patriarch of the Chen family, the head of the Minjiang River! Although the children of Fujian and Guangdong are generally short, black and thin, they seem to be inconspicuous; But their fiery personalities, fierce folk customs, and mutual unity and trust are engraved in the blood of the same ancestry! Chen Qingtai has such strong strength support, how can he be comparable to Huang Jing?
It is true that Guan Beidou dared to kill the Huang couple, but did he dare to poison Chen Qingtai?
