Liu Binhua's death is insignificant to others, and the fox friends and dog friends who are familiar with him are naturally a little regretful, and since then there is one less wronged person who goes to the kiln to eat and drink and pays the bill, and his heart is slightly unhappy; And for those who have suffered from Liu Binhua, they are secretly happy: God has finally opened his eyes, and this scourge also has a time of heaven's curse.

But everyone didn't believe that Liu Binhua hanged himself, even if the companions who followed him said in unison that they saw Liu Gongzi hanging himself on the southeast branch, everyone would never believe it; How could such a person who 'loves life' and lives a good life seek death by himself? On weekdays, eat and drink, go to kilns, gamble money, listen to dramas and beat people, how moisturized is the life, and seek death? Isn't that a joke?

Some people give this explanation: the hanged ghost possessed or hit the evil may also die in a daze, the old people often say, it is easy to hide ghosts in the peach blossom forest, if it really touches the dirty, it is also providence.

Xia Zhu didn't believe all the suspicions of the outside world, and he was experienced enough to believe that it was a premeditated murder; It's very simple, the companions said in unison that Liu Binhua followed a woman into the peach blossom forest, and the companions found out that Liu Binhua had died and turned around to look for the woman, but they were already missing the person with the car, which shows that the woman has a great relationship with Liu Binhua's death.

This is the first suspicion, the second is the white silk that Liu Binhua hanged himself, Xia Zhu recruited Liu Binhua's maidservants and maids to torture him severely, and everyone said in unison that Liu Gongzi didn't bring the white cloth before going out; The companions didn't see Liu Binhua running to a shop on the way to find death, which showed that Bai Aya belonged to someone else.

As soon as the two suspicions are combined, it is not difficult to conclude that Liu Binhua was lured into the peach forest by the woman, and the killer in the ambush strangled him. This was soon confirmed, and a discarded carriage was found fifteen miles outside the corner gate, and although there was no clue to follow in the carriage, it was enough to prove that the murderer was afraid that someone would recognize the carriage, so he abandoned the carriage outside the city.

Xia Zhu was in a deep mood, although Liu Binhua was his nephew, but since the death of his sister and brother-in-law, Xia Zhu adopted him at home, and in his heart he has regarded him as a son, and in the future, he plans to let him change his surname to inherit the Xia family; This death, the bamboo basket is empty, and I am afraid that I will be dead.

These are all trivial things, after all, I still have a daughter, and a few young concubines, looking for some home remedies, and then nourishing and nourishing, maybe I can give birth to a boy and a girl; What Xia Zhu is worried about is that for more than ten years, no one knows his name, and his nephews have been assassinated, which is obviously someone who has put a black hand on his head.

Xia Zhu preferred to believe that this was a vendetta caused by Liu Binhua's own misconduct, and in order to prove this, he used a large number of officers and soldiers to investigate and arrest those who had a close relationship with Liu Binhua on weekdays, and did not hesitate to use torture to force them to confess.

It's a pity that those people are not fools, how can they confess to killing Xia's deputy privy nephew? If you don't move, you may only die yourself, once you can't stand it casually, everyone in the family will die, this is a clear thing.

Xia Zhu's name is notoriously ruthless in the capital, many inexplicable cases of smashing corpses and destroying the door, rumors are all committed by him, originally in the northwest, Xia Zhu is notorious for being strict in commanding troops, and the soldiers who have violated military law are beheaded to give a pleasure, but he has to be tied outside the tent and frozen to death, and he will be scalded to death with hot water in summer, which is outrageous. However, because of this, the soldiers under his command are strictly disciplined, and few dare to mess around.

Xia Zhu worked hard for two days, crippled seven or eight people, and made no progress; These people have nothing to do with Liu Binhua's death at all, and they all have alibi evidence, but things are much more complicated.

Xia Zhu had to think about this matter deeply, if it weren't for Liu Binhua's own enmity, then the assassination of Liu Binhua could only be aimed at himself, and he was afraid that he would not be able to succeed in killing himself, so he killed his own nephew Liwei.

Who could it be? Political opponents? Revenge on the families of people they have killed before? If it is the latter, then it will be difficult to investigate thoroughly, and the number of people he ordered to kill is not a thousand, but hundreds, and many people don't even know their names, how can this be checked? If it is a political enemy, it can only be that his acceptance of the post of deputy privy envoy this time has caused the dissatisfaction of some people, but in fact, the ministers of the DPRK and China almost unanimously elected themselves to this position, and even Yan Shu seconded it, and Xia Zhu knows Yan Shu very well, even if there is a pimple between the two, Yan Shu is not the kind of person who assassinates others behind his back, although this person is an old fox, after all, he is still a scholar, and he has strict restrictions on his words and deeds.

The only possibility is Pang Ji, I heard that this time he also wanted to serve as the deputy privy envoy, but later I heard that Lu Xiang recommended himself, so he never mentioned it again; Could it be that he holds a grudge and takes revenge?

Xia Zhu quickly overturned his conjecture that Pang Ji would not do this, although the two were not good honey blenders, but both of them were Lu Xiang's people, Pang Ji completely relied on Lu Xiang's recommendation and protection to gain a firm foothold, at this time, he could not make such a stupid move.

After ruling them out one by one, Liu Binhua's death seemed to have suddenly become a mystery, knowing that someone had murdered him, but he didn't know who did it.

In the middle of the night, Xia Zhu, who was sitting in front of Liu Binhualing, was dazed, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he thought of a person: "Could it be him?" Calculation and calculation, how can this person be missed? ”

But soon he denied himself: "How can he have the guts to argue with himself? He didn't dare to borrow a few guts. ”

But there was another voice in his heart: "It's hard to say, the stubbornness that this person showed that night was very worrying, and he humiliated him that night, and his nephew Liu Binhua also killed him several times that night, it is hard to guarantee that he will not have murderous thoughts, and this kind of fledgling stunned young man can't be guessed by common sense at all, everything is unpredictable." ”

After thinking back and forth several times, Xia Zhu suddenly saw the two white silk on the coffin, and suddenly he understood that this matter was very likely to be done by him.

Liu Binhua's way of dying is the same as Xiao Buckle who died in the room that night, he was also hung up like a suicide, but when he ordered Xiao Buckle to be strangled that night, he was hanged alive, and Liu Binhua was strangled and hung on the treetops, and there is actually no difference between the two.

What's more, that person had witnessed Xiao Kou'er being hanged on the beam of the house that night, and the method of killing Liu Binhua was so similar, could it be that this person did it on purpose? If it is done on purpose, it is to leave a metaphor, implying that he did it, this is a demonstration to himself, if this is really the case, this kid not only has a plan, but also clearly argues with himself.

The anger in Xia Zhu's heart reached its peak, but he warned himself that the more angry he was, the more he couldn't lose his square inch; Even if the facts are as he suspected, in the absence of evidence, he can't easily make a public move, because Su Jin is not something that can be accused and framed casually, there is a big tree of Yan Shu behind him, unless there is full evidence, otherwise he will not only have nothing to do with Su Jin, but will cause a commotion.

The more he got to this time, the more excited Xia Zhu became, and his innate desire to fight with others was as fascinated as a drug addiction.

Xia Zhu thought carefully for a long time and worked out a preliminary action.

……

Su Jin has been in a very happy mood for the past two days, and the pleasure of revenge has made him feel good, last night he personally went to Yuzhang Tower in Pinghu South to see Xia Siling, but as the dead ghost Liu Binhua said, it was heavily guarded, and there were people guarding inside and outside the building, so he really couldn't get in.

It seems that Xia Zhu is going to treat his daughter as a prisoner! Su Jin could only give up, and then find a chance to communicate with Xia Siling in the future to comfort her, and now it is the seventh day of the third month in a blink of an eye, which is the day of the exam, and Su Jin can no longer be distracted to think about this matter.

On the morning of the sixth day of the first month of March, Su Jin had just finished exercising in the backyard, took a warm bath, and was still asking Huanniang and Rou Niang to help him take care of his hair, when Xiao Sui'er jumped in like a deer, and shouted repeatedly: "Son, Son, Son, guess who's coming?" ”

Su Jin frowned and said: "I was startled early in the morning, and I was startled, and even Huanniang and Rou Niang were scared by you, and they tore off a few of my hair." Who's coming? ”

Xiao Sui'er's eyes flashed and said, "Hasn't the prince been talking about them these days?" ”

Su Jin stood up abruptly and said with great joy: "Is it really them who arrived?" ”

Rou Niang said angrily: "Don't move, just got it done, and it scattered again." ”

Xiao Sui'er nodded and said, "It's the prince who has arrived, waiting in the front hall." ”

Su Jin urged repeatedly: "Hurry up, how can you make them wait for a long time, you want to kill me." ”
