Chapter 27: Opening the Coffin and Performing the Post-mortem (1)
Ni Poyu was depressed for a while, this case solving is really not, the palace guards are good at it.
The four-wheeled carriage drove all the way to the prefect's yamen.
When he came here the last time, there was Murong Shanshan in the car making trouble, so Zhu Shaochen didn't pay attention to it.
I can take my time this time.
Zhu Shaochen carefully looked at Kaifeng Mansion.
In fact, the scale of Kaifeng Mansion is quite large, covering an area of dozens of acres alone.
The mansion is also full of buildings, and there are dozens of mansions of the county kings in Kaifeng City, but most of them are not as big as him.
I saw a certain official sedan chair from a distance, and I saw that Lu Zhifu just got down from the official sedan chair.
"Lord Lu, meet again." Zhu Shaochen saw from afar that he was just about to enter the Yamen Gate. Hurriedly stopped him.
How is this Third Highness again, Lu Zhifu thought to himself.
The last time it happened, it had already been written, and the yamen of the prefectures and counties helped him inspect it.
In the end, it was their royal palace itself that caught the people. Don't you think we are doing something bad and want to scold us? No, you have to push him back.
"Your Royal Highness, I don't know what's going on. Xia Guan heard that Zhu Lunchang had already been captured by the guards of your palace. Lu Zhifu said.
Where did Zhu Shaochen know, but what Lu Zhifu was thinking about was that he would be in trouble.
"This palace came to thank your lordship, and this matter is thanks to the jurisdiction of the Lu Governor's Mansion over the prefecture and county, so Zhu Lunchang was captured."
Governor Lu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It's not about going crazy. These clans are the most unreasonable.
Zhu Shaochen continued: "However, when the palace came today, there is still one thing to ask the prefect. ”
"Your Highness said it directly." Governor Lu does have some opinions about the clan.
This is the second time they met, and he is a little unkind to Zhu Shaochen. But it's no wonder that many of the bad things in this Kaifeng Mansion have something to do with the clan.
Not to mention the casinos, most of the backstage where the money is put are also these princes.
"Governor Lu, what I want to talk about is the case of Zhu Lunchang. After the guards of my palace captured Zhu Lunchang. Zhu Lunchang made it clear that he escaped because his wife and children were captured by Jiang Fu, the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion. So my palace guards came to the door, rescued his wife and children, and went to the door to find that the door was locked, and Zhu Lunchang's wife, Zhu Zhang, had already hanged herself. The boy also nearly starved to death. According to the child, before the incident, Jiang Fu entered Zhu Zhang's bedroom, and after an argument inside, he went out and locked the door outside. ”
"In this way, just take this Jiang Fu." Governor Lu heard that Zhu Lunchang's wife and children were arrested, and this Jiang Fu was so frustrated and involved human life, so he had to be cautious.
"Lord Lu, after this, the guards of the palace secretly sent someone to find this Jiang Fu for a long time. Nothing was found. This Jiang Fu has not been seen for many days. Zhu Shaochen continued.
"There are many doubts in this case at present. However, the palace is meddling, and it is inconvenient for the lower officials to investigate a large number of them. Your Highness is here to transfer this case to my Kaifeng Mansion and let the lower officials deal with it? Governor Lu asked.
"But with this intention, this palace originally planned to let this case be handled by you, my lord. It's just that I didn't know enough about adults before, and I was worried that adults didn't want to make extraneous branches, so I never came to find adults. ”
Zhu Shaochen also explained directly. This makes it easier to solve the problem.
"Recently, I asked others about adults, and I knew that adults are honest officials and good at prison affairs. Therefore, I must ask the adults to investigate this case. ”
Lu Zhifu thought about it, if it was an ordinary case, he would push it, and if he didn't accept this case, he would have an uneasy conscience.
"Your Highness, since you say so, then this official will take over the case. The official asked his subordinates to wait and check first. In addition, at the scene of the crime, I hope that His Royal Highness can take the official over to have a look. Lu Zhifu said.
"Lord Lu, this case is all in charge of my personal guard Ni Poyu, and I will let him lead the way." Zhu Shaochen replied.
Zhu Shaochen asked Ni Poyu to cooperate with the Lu Governor's Mansion with full authority, and Ni Poyu told the Lu Governor some details of the case.
Zhu Shaochen invited Lu Zhifu to get into the car together, and Lu Zhifu called a few headhunters to ride horses to follow.
Zhu Shaochen asked Ni Poyu to show the way to Jiang Fu's courtyard.
Lord Lu walked all the way and found that this place was indeed remote, and not many people usually came during the day.
After a while, I arrived at the other courtyard and got out of the car.
Governor Lu said to the group of headhunters: "You show your hand to Your Highness and let them see what we do." Don't let this official lose face. ”
The head of the crowd hurriedly replied.
Governor Lu didn't go in the door himself, just waited outside the door.
Zhu Shaochen was also observing this Lord Lu from the side.
Not long after, a head catcher came to report and found a piece of tongue under Zhu Zhang's bed, which was suspected to be a human tongue.
The catcher took a pair of chopsticks and came out with the tongue.
Looking at this piece of tongue, it is already rotten and maggots. There are also small white worms crawling around on it. Zhu Shaochen almost wanted to throw up.
This Lu Governor didn't feel disgusted, I saw him push away the insects one by one, and then took out a white cloth from the government's pocket. He wrapped the tongue in a cloth and put it in his bosom.
Looking at Zhu Shaochen, he felt sick again.
Governor Lu obviously saw Zhu Shaochen's disgust, and he said casually: "It's okay, after the lower official brings it back to the mansion, it will be handed over for embalming." ”
"Your Highness, where is the body of the Zhu Zhang family?" Governor Lu thought for a moment, and then asked.
"I'm afraid I've been buried by the guards of the palace." Zhu Shaochen replied.
"Confused, confused! With such a human life, you are even buried directly. You ......" Governor Lu wanted to scold. But this young man is the one he can't scold and rude.
"Where to be buried. Let the guards lead the way, the official is going to open the coffin for an autopsy! Lu Zhifu said.
"Open coffin autopsy?" As a modern person, Zhu Shaochen doesn't think it's anything, but he doesn't know what others think.
"Brother Po, lead the way. He was buried only yesterday. It doesn't matter if you dig it up. Zhu Shaochen said to Ni Poyu.
"Yes, but Your Highness, if you open the coffin for an autopsy, do you want to call Zhu Lunchang together? After all, this is his wife. Ni Poyu asked.
Governor Lu grabbed the conversation and said, "No need, just a few of us will go quietly." So as not to startle the snake. I don't know if there are people watching the house we are staying in now. If there is, I'm afraid it has already alarmed the other party. But be careful in everything, and the less people know, the better. ”
"Then let's go as soon as possible."
Ni Poyu was also worried, and hurriedly got into the driver's seat of the carriage.
For Ni Poyu to grab the driving position this time, Lu Jiao'er was not aggrieved at all.
As soon as he heard that he was going to dig a grave, he was already reluctant to go. This is to disturb the rest of the dead.
The group left Kaifeng City, and Ni Poyu drove it, and they arrived in a while.
As soon as they arrived at the grave, several headhunters were busy. Some people even carry grave-digging tools with them.
