Chapter 139: The Case of the Bunkan (1)
A government official couldn't listen to it anymore: "Oh, Ah Long, it's useless to tell us, you have the ability to go to the Punishment Mansion to say, but you are really abnormal today, I haven't seen you talk so much on weekdays." Just now, we were asked to come over to see the abandoned courtyard, and we pushed the door to search, and there were all kinds of speculations, so you want to ask for a promotion. β
Ah Long shook his head awkwardly, as if he had been seen thinking: "Hehe, just talk about it casually." Since they have discovered Yue Da, they naturally want to be promoted, but why do you have to do things beautifully in order to get greater appreciation, you don't want to be just a small official for the rest of your life. β
The officials felt that what they said was reasonable, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?" β
"In this way, you, first go to the Punishment Mansion to report the discovery of Yue Da, and a few of us will take Yue Da to meet with the other brothers in the Literature Pavilion first, and go to the Punishment Mansion together, there are more people, and we are not afraid of accidents on the road. The two of you will stay here and wait, and you will not allow anyone to come near here until anyone from the Punishment Mansion has come to check the scene, and you are not allowed to destroy the scene, in case you find any useful clues at that time. Ah Long began to arrange it as he spoke, with a leading momentum.
"Uh-huh, okay." Everyone listened to him as if they had fallen into evil.
After arranging everything, Ah Long followed the escort of Yue Da, recalling the scene just now, his face was filled with joy and a smug smile. He couldn't help but touch the thing in his arms that brought him transport.
Who could have known that he was the person who had been given the tips by the "Northern Moon Zhuge of the Cold Snow Pavilion" in the past January? Everything he does is just a guide, but the road ahead has to be faced by himself. Still, that's enoughβ
At this time, the Northern Twilight Qing was on the way to a private house in a hurry. Late last night, I got news from Mo Sha that Lord Loose Cavalry was hiding in a distant cousin's house in the Beiyue Imperial Capital, and this morning, he was going to leave the Imperial Capital and return to his hometown. Bei Duqing was also in a hurry to block the regular attendant early in the morning, and he didn't know if it was too late.
When he arrived, he happened to see Lord Chang Shi saying goodbye to his cousin, Bei Duqing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lord Chang Shi's hand that was saying goodbye to Shi Li: "Lord Chang Shi is really easy to find, why don't we sit down and talk?" β
The casual rider was obviously frightened, but everyone came to the door, and he also saw it: he should come sooner or later, and he couldn't hide: "Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Four Princes, and the Four Princes please come into the house for tea." β
After entering the house and retreating from everyone, Bei Duqing spoke first: "Lord Chang has just carried the carriage luggage, it seems that he is going to travel far!" β
"What is the matter with Your Highness? Weichen has taken leave to His Majesty, Weichen's family suddenly had a disaster, the child died innocently and tragically in the Wenguan, and the small courtyard was almost slaughtered. He stared at Bei Duqing when he spoke, yes, he knew the relationship between Bei Duqing and Beichen, although Beichen was the prince, but he was also very angry about his family for doing that kind of thing, and naturally he didn't have a very good expression for Bei Duqing.
Bei Duqing smiled: "Looking at the appearance of the adults, I really believe in the matter of the Wenguan, and the assassination that night was all done by my sixth brother?" In a hurry to leave the imperial capital, are you afraid that our brothers will attack again? β
Lord Chang stopped talking, and he was a little angry because of his identity, so he could only hold it in his heart, unable to speak, and angry.
"Lord Chang Shi, you know very well that my sixth brother is a prince, how noble his identity is, his future is promising, and his responsibilities are heavy, and you are just a small five-grade official, and your son is even more mediocre in the Wenguan and has no competitive power. What do you think is such a gap, why does my sixth brother want to kill your son and destroy you? Bei Duqing asked.
Lord Chang Shi was silent, he didn't know why, he couldn't figure it out, but he found something from the Yuchen Palace on the assassin, which was intimidating: "Your Highness, Wei Chen doesn't want to believe it, but the evidence of the assassination that night is conclusive, maybe the six princes have some purpose, they have to take the lives of our scattered cavalry Chang Manmen." β
"Lord Xu!" Bei Duqing raised his voice and slapped the table, "Evidence? The so-called evidence is just a brand, how can adults be so sure, haven't they been hostile to my sixth brother for a long time? Not to mention that it wasn't my sixth brother who did these things, even if it was, do you think he would leave a handle for doing these things? There is no evidence of the Wenguan incident, and the assassination incident, those assassins were not killed by others, and the bones are gone, and the brand still doesn't know where it came from. I also said that the brand was deliberately placed on the assassin by Lord Xu, just to deal with the Six Princes! β
After some threats and speculation, Lord Chang felt hairy in his heart, and he was actually a little afraid, but when he thought of his dead son and the people in the palace who were afraid of the assassination night, he was unconvinced and continued: "Your Highness, don't be wronged, although Weichen is not of high rank, he is not the kind of person who forms a gang to form a feud and argue in vain, this matter is a victim in my house, His Highness is so upside down black and white, I am afraid that it is not angry, then I believe that the sixth prince did this." β
"You-" Bei Duqing was a little angry, because he was too worried about Beichen, what he said might be a little inconsiderate, but there was no way, for the sake of the overall situation, he exhaled and continued: "Lord Xu, don't be blinded, you are a reasonable person, there are some truths that you don't understand, sometimes, it's not a bad thing to suffer losses and submit to softness, your beloved son had an accident in the Wenguan, I also expressed my regret, but these things really have nothing to do with my sixth brother, my sixth brother has always loved the officials and the people, you have been in the court for a long time, you should know my sixth brother's character very well." You're going to have to keep your eyes open. β
Lord Chang Shi held the teacup, thinking carefully about the words of the Northern Dusk Qing, it was not unreasonable, he picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, when he suddenly thought of something, and slammed the cup on the table: "But sometimes, I just know people and faces, but I don't know my heart!" I only believe in the evidence, and I don't doubt the six princes too much for the time being, I wait for the results of the investigation of the criminal palace, if it wasn't for the six princes, I would personally come to the door to apologize, if so, don't blame Weichen. Also, the Fourth Highness came today, if he pleaded for the Six Princes, then do it. I never say anything against my will. Okay, the time has come, Weichen is leaving, Fourth Highness, please! With that, he got up and made a gesture of invitation to Bei Duqing.
Bei Duqing pretended not to see it, and still drank tea leisurely by himself, it seemed that he had to come up with a killer idea: "Lord Xu wants to know that your son was killed in the Wenguan, but what is the reason?" β
Hearing this, Lord Chang's eyes widened slightly, and he had a bad premonition, so he had to continue to sit down and said, "I want to hear it in detail, I want to know, what happened to my son in the Wenguan when the rules and etiquette have always been in place?" β
"Hmph, according to the investigation at the Bunkan, some witnesses said that several people killed in the Bunkan were involved in the same thing that was the most suspected-"
"What?"
"Do you really want to listen?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Now in the matter of the Wenguan, Yue Da is the most suspicious person, and Yue Da and the people who were killed had a conflict before. Zou Fuzi of the Shangshu Bureau brought a handsome-looking writing attendant, and one day he got lost in the literary hall, and happened to be stopped by your son and those who were killedββ"
"Don't say it, Weichen doesn't want to know." Lord Chang suddenly stopped Bei Duqing's words, he probably knew that the next thing must be bad for his son, although his son died, but the family style and disciple training are still there, there can be no unetiquette, nonsense.
"Your Excellency just said that you would like to hear about it, and you regretted it so quickly? Before I finished speaking, your son and the men saw that the attendant was handsome, and that the master was not by his side, so they put their hands on the attendant and verbally insulted others, and then Yue Da stopped them, and they gathered a crowd to make Yue Da and others do it. You say that your son has good rules and etiquette, humiliates others at will, speaks evil deeds, gathers crowds to make a commotion, and disturbs order, how can you count these? If these things spread out of the Punishment Mansion, what should the adults do? Looking at the changes on the face of Lord Chang Shi, Qing was white for a while, and Bei Duqing actually had a hint of resentment, he knew that the person who was humiliated by the son of Lord Chang Shi was a dignified Beiyue National Teacher, who was the person on the tip of Beichen's heart, and when he first heard the people of the Wenguan talk about it two days ago, Beichen was angry and had not eaten for a day.
"This ......" After listening to the waiter, the Chang Shi had already crushed the teacup on the table, and hit the table with a punch and a punch, how could this be the case with the son he carefully taught?
"Don't you believe it? Do you want to go to the Criminal Office to inquire about the case? Stop saying I've wronged people. β
"Your Highness, the Punishment Mansion has sent a message, Yue Da has found it, Lord Punishment Priest, please go to the Punishment Mansion immediately." At this moment, a sound sounded outside the door. The corners of Bei Duqing's mouth hooked, this Yue Da appeared just right, knowing that this matter was urgent, he got up and said: "Your Excellency may wish to go to the Punishment Mansion with me to take a look and ask for an understanding, and also, my sixth brother's token for the summons of the private guard specially placed here for the purpose of protecting the family of the Scattered Cavalry Chang Shi was stolen and used by someone with a heart, it is really audacious!" β
Lord Chang was shocked, how could he not understand the meaning of those words, but he really wanted to protect the six princes-
Yan Yan followed the Northern Dusk Qing to the Punishment Mansion, his heart was extremely entangled, and he didn't know how to choose: should he believe that the Six Princes would protect him, or to protect his family reputation?
Yue Da was escorted to the Prison Division with shackles by those officials, and the news instantly reached the ears of those people, and they all hurried here. Since Lord Si Xing was the main person in charge of this matter, he naturally wanted to interrogate Yue Da personally. But when everyone arrived at the trial hall of the Criminal Prison Division, they found that Yue Da couldn't speak, how should this be tried?
Su Bingsi felt that this matter was not so simple, and searched for Yue Da in the literary hall for two days but was nowhere to be found, why did he suddenly find him today, and it happened to be when Beichen was falsely imprisoned? Looking at Yue Da, who was held on the ground and couldn't speak, he could only whimper and look aggrieved and excited, he commanded the forbidden army on the side: "Go, call a few imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital, take my token and ask for it, be sure to call those with the most seniority." β
