Volume 1 * Saint Ming Kai Chapter 39 * Akisawa (4)
This series of actions made Qiu Di and Xu Zhifu have no time to think, and after the murderer was captured, the Qianlong Gang was relatively stable, and it is estimated that they were busy with their weapon forging again, and Qiu Di at this time was waiting for this Xu Zhifu's verdict on this Kunlun slave tomorrow.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, someone knocked on the door in front of the palace, this Xu Zhifu was angry all night for last night's events, and he hadn't slept yet, someone came to disturb him so early, just to let him out of anger, so he rushed to the gate with his subordinates in a hurry, and asked the officials to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Governor Xu's mansion blurted out and scolded the people outside before he could see the faces clearly: "Which bastard, did you want to die when you came to the mansion so early?" ”
You must know that the quality of the officials in the officialdom is not so good, coupled with the matter of the concubine of the Xu Governor's Mansion last night, it is reasonable for this Lord Xu to blurt out and scold the bastard.
Changyu, who was standing at the door at this time, said with a smile on Shen Cheng: "What is it that makes adults so angry early in the morning." ”
Xu Zhifu saw that the people outside were Zhuge Changyu, who had saved his life twice, and he hurriedly explained: "It turned out to be Mr., forgive me for being open-mouthed, I thought it was a guy who didn't know what to do, Mr. please come inside." ”
Changyu walked towards the back hall of the yamen with Governor Xu's mansion, and asked with concern on the way: "Your Excellency doesn't have to blame yourself, presumably after your lord learned the news last night, he couldn't rescue Mrs. Zun in time?" ”
When Governor Xu heard this, he paused in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, he almost forgot that someone had sent him the news last night, and when he heard Changyu ask, he knew a thing or two, so he thanked him: "It turns out that the person who sent me the news is Mr.'s person, Mr. really takes care of me very much, and Xu has nothing to reciprocate." ”
"Look at my lord, what are you talking about, Chang Yuzhi came to Jingzhou to establish a gang, and after getting acquainted with the adult, he treated the adult as his own person, if it weren't for this Qiu Di having an elder brother who was a general in the capital, I would have sent someone to vent my anger for the adult."
Xu Zhifu listened to Changyu's words, and also happened to talk about his heart, this Qiu Di was originally just a local tyrant here, nothing remarkable, I was afraid of the people behind him, that was a first-class general, he could demolish his mansion with his fingers, and he still had some foundation, if this Shengming Society couldn't get along with Qiu Di, it was estimated that this Shengming Society could make news in this realm overnight.
"Sir's words are exactly what I scruple about, this Qiu Di is now clearly bullying me." Governor Xu shook his head and said helplessly.
Then the two came to the back hall, Xu Zhifu ordered his subordinates to wait outside the door, Changyu called Shen Cheng to wait outside the door, speaking of the back hall is quite simple, it looks very similar to the appearance of Qing officials, in the back hall in addition to the door on the right side of the steps placed on a coffee table, four chairs, on the left side is a passage and a wall, there is a landscape painting on the wall, quite simple.
After the next person came over to serve tea, Governor Xu asked, "I don't know if Mr. came here early in the morning, if there is anything important." ”
Changyu didn't rush to say, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "I heard that the adults have caught the murderer of Qiu Ze." ”
"I caught this, it was obviously sent by someone else, if it weren't for this Qiu Di's urgency, I really want to interrogate it carefully."
This Lord Xu is not a foolish official, listening to Changyu say this, he knows that Changyu is here for this Kunlun slave, on the one hand, he wants to clear himself of the suspicion of a faint official, and on the other hand, he wants to pretend that he is forced to be helpless, judging from the fact that he speaks so hard, he cares about Changyu very much, after all, he still needs this Changyu at the moment.
Changyu, such a smart person, naturally heard the meaning of Lord Xu's words, so he asked: "Since the adult is forced to be helpless, I have a plan, which can not only find out the real culprit, but also help the adult to vent his anger." ”
When Governor Xu heard this, he immediately became energetic, and he was worried that he would not be able to teach this Qiu Di a lesson, so he asked: "What is the plan of the gentleman, you might as well say it directly." ”
"Judging from the traces at the scene, I have already guessed who the murderer is? It's just that I still want to see Akizawa's corpse and confirm my guess. Changyu pretended not to know anything about the matter.
"Because the murderer has not yet been decided, the body is temporarily placed in the coroner's room in the backyard, sir, please come with me." Governor Xu stood up and pointed the way.
"Lord Xu, you're sure you haven't touched anything on the corpse." Changyu asked as he walked.
"No, except for the corpse, the clothes on the rest of the corpses have not been touched."
"Didn't you find anything out of it?"
"Except for Akizawa's tattered clothes and multiple injuries on his body, the rest were not found."
Changyu thought to himself, it's good that he hasn't touched any clothes, and as he spoke, he came to the coroner's room, fortunately, it was just like spring on this day, and the corpse had not yet stinked, and the two officials were guarding at the door, and when they saw Lord Xu coming, they made a salute, and then Lord Xu ordered the two officials to open the door, and Lord Xu and Changyu both covered their noses and walked into the coroner's room.
This Qiu Ze's body was covered with a white cloth, Changyu deliberately walked around, opened it here to take a look, opened it there to take a look, walked to the head position, and when he opened it to see, he pretended to find something, and shouted excitedly: "My lord, come and take a look." ”
There was nothing strange about this Qiu Ze except for a red turban on his head, and Lord Xu didn't understand it after looking at it for a long time.
"My lord, I guess you haven't understood yet, let's go back to the back hall first."
Lord Xu also wanted to know what was wrong with the place Changyu was pointing to, so he took Changyu back to the back hall.
After the two sat down, Changyu asked, "I don't know if you can find that this Qiu Gongzi is wearing a red turban on his head." ”
"Is there anything you need to ask?" Lord Xu looked unclear and asked suspiciously.
"Of course, many people may not have noticed that in the place where Qiu Gongzi was killed, there was a cowshed that collapsed, and when I asked the people in the west of the city, they all said that there were cows in the cowshed before."
"What does this cow have to do with the death of this autumn boy?"
"This adult, you don't know, this cow is the real murderer."
"What?" Lord Xu asked with wide eyes, saying that it was unheard of for cattle to kill people.
"Of course, this has to be said more clearly, it can be said that this autumn boy committed suicide."
"Suicide, Mr. should be cautious in what he says, if you let this Qiu Di know, you have to dismantle Mr. into eight pieces." Governor Xu reminded.
"My lord, don't worry, I am naturally deliberate, if my lord believes me, I will acquit that Kunlun slave today, and then bring Qiu Di to the western suburbs of the city, I have my own arrangements."
As soon as Governor Xu heard this, he immediately became emotional, and said: "Sir, you are asking me to dig my own grave, if I am not guilty of Kunlun Nu, then I can only wait for death." ”
Changyu smiled and comforted: "My lord, don't be excited, didn't I say before that I would help you vent your anger, if you let Kunlun Nu go like this, you will definitely make Na Qiu Di angry, and then you will follow my plan to find out the real culprit and make Na Qiu Di speechless." ”
"Sir, that's true."
Changyu nodded, indicating that it was true, although Governor Xu didn't know what medicine was sold in this Changyu gourd, and he didn't make it clear the connection between the red turban, the cowshed and Qiuze, but from the point of view of Changyu saving his life twice, this Changyu is not a person who talks nonsense, he must have Zhou Xiang's plan, you might as well promise him first, and see what he plans later.
