Wang Pu personally ordered the official of the left hall of Kaifeng Mansion to be in charge of evidence collection and process inference in Tokyo for the case of assassinating a high-ranking military general of the forbidden army. This official is very powerful, and he is a well-known prison official in Kaifeng Prefecture; His father did this, and his son inherited his father's job very professionally, and no matter who was the emperor in his family, he always did prison lawsuits. The case was cleared up in two days.

The magistrate calmly reported in front of Wang Pu: "The facts of this case are not complicated, and the person who is most suspected is Zhao (deliberately withheld his name)." The lower officials first pushed Zhao's crime process, and Deputy Envoy Wang listened to whether there were any omissions:

Zhao first fell in love with the daughter of the general Li Chuyun, but because Li Chuyun was unwilling to marry the Zhao family, Zhao sent his accomplices Li Xia'er and Li Mazi to secretly investigate the movements outside the Li Mansion; However, he found that the lady of the Li family had dealings with Guo Fu, and booked an inn near the Datong Temple in Taimur Shandong. decided that Li Niangzi and General Guo had a personal affair, and they were jealous and hateful. Zhao had already investigated General Guo's trip to Datong Temple, so he had the opportunity to commit the crime.

and determined that as soon as General Guo died, his subordinate Li Chuyun would be forced to join the Zhao family, and he could marry Li Niangzi. And because General Guo and Huainan Jiedu made Li Chongjin have always had a gap, he wanted to leave clues at the scene to divert his attention and get rid of the involvement.

With such a motive, Li Xia'er and Li Mazi recruited more than ten people from Xuzhou to set up an ambush at the Datong Temple Inn. That night, he lit a ** bucket and threw it into the room from the back window of General Guo's room and blew it up. He was not killed, and shot him in front of the door with an ambush bow and crossbow, wounding General Guo, but the assassination failed.

Li Mazi and one of his accomplices were arrested. Zhao was worried that the matter would be revealed, so he killed Li Xia'er, who was an accomplice with him...... The post-mortem test was the poison of arsenic, and the fatal was a serious weapon such as an axe to the skull. After extinguishing the mouth, bury it by the side of the road......"

After the official said, he said: "What Fang just said is the inference of the lower official on the facts of the case. From the evidence at the scene and the confessions of the criminals, it can be confirmed that the case was indeed committed by Li Xia'er and Li Mazi; It can also be ascertained that Li Xia'er and Zhao (3) have frequent contacts and often go in and out of Zhao's mansion.

Li Xia'er has a great relationship with Zhao, and there are three evidences: first, Li Mazi's confession; Second, the oral confession of the East Market, the kiln gambling house, etc.; Third, several servants of the Zhao Mansion unanimously confessed, confirming that there was a person named Li Xia'er in and out of the Zhao Mansion, which coincided with the portrait...... Deputy Wang envoy don't worry, the lower officials did not arrest the people of the Zhao Mansion, but only sent people to ask them outside in a friendly manner, and they said it voluntarily. ”

The magistrate continued: "If the human and physical evidence is found to this point, generally speaking, you can take the person. However, because the matter involves the Zhao family, there is still one place in this case that cannot be corroborated: although Li Xia'er has dealings with Zhao, there is no testimony or physical evidence that can confirm that Li Xia'er is influenced by Zhao. As for Zhao's motives, it is only an inference from Shimonoseki...... To confirm that Li Xia'er is dead, unless...... Unless Zhao Kuangyi is arrested and let him confess in person. ”

Wang Pu said: "No need. You have done a good job in investigating the case, you can be fair and reasonable, and you are not biased, and the official will definitely report this matter to the official's family. ”

The official hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kind words in front of the official." ”

……

Zhao Kuangyin came out of the inner hall, first went back to the front of the hall to see Zhao Hongyin, and then the father and son no longer went straight to work, and went straight home. Zhao Kuangyin invited his father to sit in the main hall of the inner courtyard, and ordered all the slaves and maids to leave the courtyard, and then took out a file submitted to the emperor in the left hall of Kaifeng Mansion from his arms and handed it to Zhao Hongyin.

"Father, please take a look at this first." Zhao Kuangyin said.

Zhao Hongyin "coughed" a few times, took a sip of tea, and began to read the file. The old man's face gradually changed color, his fists clenched, and his knuckles turned white.

At this moment, Zhao San entered, bowed his head and bowed: "Father, second brother, why did you come back so early today?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin's black face really couldn't change color, but he didn't speak very happily, and he didn't pay attention to his brother. Zhao Hongyin suddenly slapped his palm on several cases, and the teacup on it shook directly, falling to the ground and falling to pieces with a "bang".

"You beast!" Zhao Hongyin stood up and slapped it over. Zhao San didn't dodge, he was hit by a beating, and the five guides on the left side of his face quickly swollen. Zhao San screamed in pain, hurriedly covered his face with his hand, and fell to his knees with a "plop".

Zhao Kuangyin saw that his brother was beaten by his father, and knelt on the ground to admit his mistake, so he immediately spoke, and hurriedly persuaded: "Father is angry, sit down and take a breath first, don't worry." ”

Zhao Kuangyin helped his father sit down, turned around and said, "Third child, you don't seem to have stayed at home overnight on February 28, where did you go?" ”

"Ruzhou." Zhao Sandao.

Zhao Kuangyin asked again: "What are you going to Ruzhou for?" ”

"I saw a friend named Wang Shun." Zhao San replied.

The old man was furious when he heard this, and stood up, Zhao San hurriedly covered his face when he saw this, and said in horror: "Father, you ......" The old man scolded: "You dare to deceive, the government has already found out what you have done, and even the official family is alarmed!" You don't want to think about who you can deceive with that little ability, ah? Dare to lie, Lao Tzu broke your dog's legs! Ahem......"

"Father, be at ease. Let me ask. Zhao Kuangyin picked up the file on the ground, patted it in his hand, and said to Zhao San, "This is not a court, and outsiders are not there." The third brother told his father and second brother what he had done, and we could help you find a way. ”

Dad was beating and scolding there, with a terrifying anger on his face; The second brother is kind of persuasion, but he has a black face but pretends to be "red-faced". But Zhao San was unmoved, and admitted that he wanted to be taken by the second brother to kill his relatives in righteousness to show his loyalty?

Zhao San is very aware of everything he has done before and recently...... It's not that you made a mistake, you just admit it and you'll be fine; None of them should be forgiven casually. So he insisted: "Second brother, brother really doesn't understand why ......"

"Lao Tzu really raised you for nothing! Why did you give birth to a ......" Zhao Hongyin said this, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and with a "poof" sound, even Zhao San, who was kneeling far away, was splashed with blood.

"Father!" "Father!" The brothers hurriedly stepped forward to hold on.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't care about Zhao San's matter, and when he saw that his father was already unconscious, he hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Go and call someone to find Lang Zhong. ”

Zhao San was also in a hurry, hurriedly got up from the ground, ran out of the door, and shouted: "Someone!" Come! The slaves and maids in the inner courtyard were all shouted out by Zhao Kuangyin, and no one answered for a while. When Zhao San ran to the door of the cave, he saw a slave and maid come up to answer.

But they are all maids, and they can't do things. Zhao San hurriedly ran to the front yard, called the servant and said, "Go find Lang Zhong!" Go and call a few more people. ”

The slaves hurriedly ran to the stable to get their horses, and when the horseman Dong Er saw this, he asked, "What happened?" The servant replied, "San Lang wants to invite Langzhong, but I don't know what." Looks like a rush. ”

Dong Er hurriedly said, "Then I'll take a few fast horses to the front yard to get ready, so as not to take a lot of time." ”

"Go, go!"

Dong Er led the horse into the door of the front yard, and the porter asked, "What are you doing with the horse coming in?" Dong Er replied: "A few people came to the stable just now, and asked me to bring them, saying that it was an order from San Lang, and I wanted to hurry up and invite Langzhong." ”

After hearing this, the porter said, "Hurry in, I heard just now that Ah Lang fell ill and fell unconscious." ”

Dong Er led the horse and walked in quickly, but saw that Zhao San was still standing in the front yard calling someone. At this time, Zhao San turned around, covered his left face with one hand, frowned and asked, "You horseman...... What did you call it, and what did you do with the horses? ”

"Didn't someone come just now and say that San Lang called to lead the horse over, saying that Ah Lang was sick and wanted to invite Lang Zhong?" Dong Erdao.

Zhao San scolded: "I told them to go straight to Langzhong, I didn't ask them to lead the horses, they were a bunch of straw bales!" You're still stunned, take it away! ”

"Yes, yes." Dong Er said busily, his face was very white, and his expression was a little strange. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned to leave. But when he looked back slightly, he saw that Zhao San had turned around to talk to others, his back to him, and there were no slaves near him...... The slaves in the vicinity were driven out of the house to find Langzhong.

Dong Er frowned and hesitated slightly, and finally put his hand into his arms, his hand began to tremble slightly, and his expression became even more strange.

Finally, Dong Er suddenly pulled out a rusty short knife from his arms! I don't know where it was dug up, but the knife was full of rust, and only the tip of the knife and the front half of the knife had been sharpened.

He rushed forward and stabbed Zhao San in the back. "Ahh Zhao San screamed, and when he looked back, Dong Er had already pulled out the knife and stabbed Zhao San in the face again.

Zhao San covered his face with one hand and bled like a pillar, turned around and ran, but his eyes were covered by blood, and he immediately hit a tree trunk, and one stumbled and fell to the ground. Dong Er caught up, twisted Zhao San's bun, and waved his hand to frantically slash him in the face and neck more than a dozen times. Zhao San's entire head was blurred with flesh and blood, and he kicked on the ground.

Dong Er's last knife aimed at Zhao San's eyebrows, but stabbed it into Zhao San's eye socket and deeply into his eye socket. Zhao San didn't move, Dong Er gave up the rusty knife, got up and ran.

At this time, the slave who rushed to hear the sound saw Dong Er's face was stunned with blood on his face, and screams came from all around.

At last a man shouted, "Call the soldiers in the foyer!" ”

Dong Er had already galloped to the horse, turned over a horse, and rode the horse to the east, where there was a side door. Dong Er has worked in the Zhao family for three years, and he is very familiar with the place, so he opened the latch of the side door and rushed out.

As he ran, he took off his coat, wiped the blood on his hands and head and face, and threw the bloody clothes to the side of the road. The people on the street were rushed by his fast horse, and then the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind him. Dong Er knew that there was an official shop at the opposite corner of the street, and with such a loud battle, he must have encountered an official business when he rushed to the street. At this time, he saw a small street next to it, and people came and went on the street.

Dong Er directly abandoned the horse, jumped down, ran towards the crowd, and ran along the streets and alleys in a panic, but when he saw the narrow opening in that place and the gap between the houses, he drilled inside.
