Chapter Seventy-Four: Hundreds of Widows Die and Gather Righteousness
Qingque'er may be a descendant of Qi, and Qi Mofeng is also very likely to have a relationship with the Qi family, from the eyes of this Yinying Governor looking at the knife, Li Mi can see it.
However, Li Mi didn't have time to scrutinize these, a little girl in autumn and winter had already annoyed Li Mi, no matter what Qingque'er had, and what the inside story was, Li Mi didn't bother to care.
Because they finally came to Tongli Town in Wujiang County, Suzhou Prefecture, they got off the boat and rested for a while, and then the large army came to Polongqi.
This Po Long Qi is actually a typical Watergate cottage, there is a big river guard in front of the cottage, no wonder it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Po Long looks like a lying pig Po Long, it is named Po Long Mountain, and the mountain is Po Long Mountain.
Fan Rongkuan and Wu Weizhong are the leaders of this time, although Li Mi followed Wu Weizhong, but in the end he was a nobody, and only the knife box he was carrying was more eye-catching.
But looking at it this way, he looks like a pawn carrying a blade for Wu Weizhong, and he is not too abrupt.
At this time, all the officers and soldiers around Po Long Qi were on alert, and as soon as they entered the mountain gate, they smelled a strong and sultry smell of blood and rancidity.
Xu experienced the incident in the cabin, Qiu Dong also kept a distance from Li Mi, and followed behind Wu Weizhong step by step, although she was dressed as a man, her face and posture could be seen to be a big girl with a plump body.
Li Mi had already sniffed out the blood, and before he arrived at the scene, he had already been aroused by the case, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Qiu Dong.
Those officers and soldiers should have been sincerely afraid when they saw that the political envoy and the commander had come in person, but now their expressions were numb, and their enthusiasm was not as high as they imagined.
After entering the cottage, Li Mi understood the reason.
At this time, the cottage was full of officers and soldiers, and the people who caught the fast and the officials were servants, etc., and there were people from each yamen, in addition to the support of Suzhou Prefecture and Wu County, Changzhou County, Wujiang County, etc., there were also the Punishment Hall and the people who commanded the Embassy and even the Command Envoy!
In this cottage, there are almost three steps and one person, five steps and one post, and the servants dressed in gray cloth or black clothes have been mobilized from almost the entire Suzhou Mansion, and everyone covers their mouths and noses with white cloth.
There are also many people who are pale, and from time to time they run out of the Juyi Hall, vomiting profusely, and squirting out of the slices of ginger in their noses.
Among them, there were also many elite soldiers of the guard who had been on the battlefield, but at this time, these sergeants all turned yellow, and their throats were stirring, as if they would vomit at any time.
Although Fan Rongkuan is in a high position, he is a hereditary official, and he did not start from the grassroots level, so he has never seen such a bad murder case, and he is also a little hesitant at this time.
However, Wu Weizhong was a fierce general who crawled out of the pile of dead, and immediately led Li Mi and others to take the first step and step into the Juyi Hall.
This hall is also very spacious, and the threshold is very high, but when you step into it with one foot, your shoes are soaked on the spot, and the soles of your feet are all mud coagulated by blood!
Li Mi looked around, the entire hall was full of corpses that had died tragically, blades were thrown everywhere, all kinds of arrows and hidden weapons were pierced on the pillars on the wall, and there were even tailless pure iron crossbow arrows in it!
What's even more surprising is that the walls were blasted out of holes by solid shells, the debris of tables and chairs floated in pools of blood, stumps and feet can be seen everywhere, and some of them are holding these "parts" in their hands, looking for the original owner, and some are piecing together!
This Shura field-like scene made the Fan family's father and son, who had just entered the door, immediately run away!
Chen Heguang and the officials of Suzhou Mansion also looked at each other, and they had not yet had time to greet them, this political envoy from Jiaxing Mansion had already fled!
Chen Heguang and Song Zhiwei, and even Tongzhi Huang Shiyuan were all present, and there were even six door detectives from Ying Tianfu!
Li Mi was also dumbfounded, he was shocked enough when he heard this case earlier, and when he saw it with his own eyes, he knew what kind of tragic situation more than 100 corpses were!
Although he has excellent psychological quality, he can see such a scene, but in the end, it is inevitable that his stomach will be cold, and his hands and feet will be cold!
Chen Heguang, Song Zhiwei and others came over one after another, and said to Wu Weizhong: "Lord Wu is polite..."
Although Wu Weizhong is the commander of Hainingwei and can't control the Suzhou Mansion, Wu Weizhong is the only remaining veteran of the Qi family's army, and his prestige and reputation are far and wide all over the world, and they respect him.
Wu Weizhong nodded to everyone in return, and then waved his hand and said, "The case is important, don't worry about red tape." ”
Everyone nodded yes, and Chen Heguang and Song Zhiwei glared at him when they saw Li Mi following behind Wu Weizhong.
"What are you doing, why don't you come over and help!"
Li Mi was also frightened by this meeting, and he didn't know where to start for a while, but when he heard the reminder, he came back to his senses, untied the knife box behind his back, and wanted to hand it to Qiu Dong, but found that Qiu Dong was hiding far away from the door, and he had long since disappeared.
Li Mi was about to go out, but he heard Wu Weizhong say: "Confused, Master will help you carry it, and you will do things." ”
Li Mi smiled, and was not polite, handed over the knife box to Wu Weizhong, and walked to Song Zhiwei's side.
Although the two of them behave naturally, like a trivial matter in daily life, in the eyes of Chen Heguang, Song Zhiwei and others, it is jaw-dropping!
Because Li Mi was just a quick arrester a few days earlier, Song Zhiwei and Chen Heguang had the intention of transferring him from Wu County to the Torture Hall.
In their opinion, transferring Li Mi to the Torture Hall is already the biggest promotion for Li Mi, such a subordinate who has just become a fast catcher, can enter the Torture Hall with a case, and put it on any fast catcher, which is a legendary experience.
But Li Mi didn't seem to be too interested, they thought that Li Mi didn't know what to do, but now they haven't seen each other for a few days, Li Mi followed Hai Ningwei's command to make Wu Weizhong come over, and even became Wu Weizhong's apprentice, let Wu Weizhong give him a knife?
What's wrong with this world? Could it be that they missed a few years of time?
Li Mi didn't have anything to do with this, stabilized his mind, sorted out his thoughts, then took a light breath, took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on, and began to investigate.
The Juyi Hall was full of fakes, and the corpses were also clear at a glance, and Li Mi didn't have to look closely, just looked at them at random, and he could see that these dead people were all injured by sharp weapons, and died on the spot or died of excessive blood loss and shock.
Li Mi inquired about the work and sorted out all the information, and there was no doubt about the cause of death.
In ancient times, most of the corpses were examined, and officials rarely touched the corpses themselves, because it was not an auspicious thing.
It was also because this case was too shocking that these big officials covered their noses and came in to take a look, and at this time, Chen Heguang and others invited Wu Weizhong to go out.
First, I also saw the crime scene, and it was convenient to talk when I went out, and secondly, I took care of Fan Rongkuan's face, if they stayed in the lobby all the time, Lord Fan, who didn't dare to come in outside, would be very embarrassed.
After all, Song Zhiwei was the chief official of the Torture Hall and needed to sit in the center, so he had been staying at the scene, and at this time, he walked over to Li Mi and asked Li Mi.
"What do you see?"
Li Mi squatted on the ground, carrying a short knife with horns in his hand, and did not answer, and asked Song Zhiwei rhetorically.
"Song Tuiguan has a general idea?"
Song Zhiwei sighed lightly, rubbed his temples and said: "Song has been an official for many years, and he has seen not a thousand but eight hundred cases, but he has never seen such a strange and murderous scene..."
Li Mi nodded, and then said to Song Zhiwei: "At least the identities of these people need to be confirmed, if they are really the vanguard of the Japanese Invaders, it is not a bad thing..."
Although it is a bit disrespectful to say this, these pirates are all murderous things that do not blink an eye, burning, killing, looting, raping and plundering the coastal people, which is all evil, and these people are guilty of death and cannot be punished.
Song Zhiwei pursed his lips, pointed to the knife in Li Mi's hand and said: "From their belongings, it is not difficult to confirm their identity, these people have calluses on their hands, they should be sailors who have lived on the ship, and they will grind their hands like this when they pull the sail rope all year round..."
"And the pirate kings occupy isolated islands, and they are kings and hegemons, and once they get on the ship, they put their marks on these pirates, and these imprints are all varied, and it is not difficult to confirm their identities."
"Although it has not been classified yet, there is no doubt that these people are confirmed to be the vanguard of the Japanese Invaders, but... You should know that the prefect has joined forces with the royal eunuchs and many other yamen this time in order to exterminate these Japanese robbers and prevent them from invading the interior, and now the vanguard army is killed, but it is not the credit of our others, it is inevitable that it is a pity..."
Li Mi had also thought about this issue for a long time, and he was relieved at the moment: "These widows are going to come and slaughter the people, and if they die, they will die, as long as they die in my Suzhou Mansion, isn't it all the credit of my Suzhou Mansion." ”
Li Mi didn't have much awareness of politics, and he said this casually, but Song Zhiwei nodded thoughtfully, and didn't dwell on this issue, but asked Li Mi.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, but tell me what you found?"
Li Mi took a moment before he spoke: "Judging from the traces of the corpse's knife edges, it is not difficult to judge that these widows should have had an internal fight, my lord, look at it, this yellow-faced goat's beard, the knife stuck in his chest, the handle of the knife is tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope is tied to the wrist of this young man with mung bean eyes..."
"There are also those who are close to Shuaitai, they are all in the same situation, these Japanese robbers are adrift on the sea all the year round, and the sword is the one who saves his life and eats, if he falls into the sea, it will be difficult to find it, because they tie the sword to the rope and tie it to the body and hands to avoid loss..."
"Moreover, these people are all extremely vicious bandits, and the fight is endless, the so-called knife is in the person, and the knife is broken, and the person is killed, all kinds of signs are enough to prove that this group of people died in internal fighting..."
Song Zhiwei seemed to have seen this a long time ago, nodded at Li Mi and said: "The servants also talk like this, you can talk about the doubts." ”
Li Mi thought for a while, and then said to Song Zhiwei: "This suspicion, there are also some doubts, more than 100 people fought inwardly, the scene was tragic, but the two tigers competed, and the worst thing was one death and one injury, and it was not for nothing that the jade was burned and all the stones were burned together, but the problem is that more than 100 people all died, which is too unbelievable..."
"Besides, more than a hundred people fought, swords, guns, arrows, and even artillery and muskets were used, and it must have been very lively, but everyone died in the lobby, didn't there be one or two who escaped? Or crashed out of the door during a fight? ”
As soon as Li Mi said this, Song Zhiwei's face became more solemn, and it seemed right to recall Li Mi from Jiaxing Mansion this time.
