Chapter 317: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Sima Yi said confidently: "Now that the physical evidence of the deceased is available, it is enough to prove whether the deceased was burned alive by the fire." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Cao Pi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Zhong Da is reasonable. Just ask. ”
Ma Teng was secretly happy when he heard this, thinking that Liu Gongzi was really a god, and everything went according to the route he designed.
"The five dead were all burned alive by the fire, and their bodies were burned beyond recognition. ”
"How can I see that the body was alive before it was burned?" Cao Pi asked.
"The deceased had ashes in his mouth, proving that the drunken deceased was awakened by the fire before his death, and desperately screamed to escape and inevitably inhaled the ashes." He replied.
"Reasonable." Sima Yi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly helped.
Cao Pi stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and frowned: "Could it be that Ma Teng used the corpse of a dead man to replace Li Zhuang and hide from the world." ”
Sima Yi was taken aback, secretly regretting that he was talking too much just now, and doubted Ma Teng. He hurriedly said: "There is no way. First, the number of people in Mafu is counted correctly; Second, Yecheng is heavily guarded, and personnel are strictly inspected when entering and leaving; The third is that the people in Mafu are all listed as monitoring targets, and every move is in strict condition. ”
"Your Excellency the Deputy Prime Minister, our people are conscientious outside the Ma Mansion, and they will never dare to slack off, and even when they buy vegetables and rice, they are tracked and inspected by special personnel, and they are strictly guarded, and they are as solid as gold, it is difficult for a small dog to take a step beyond the thunder pool, how can it be possible to transport a few corpses." Seeing this, Xiahou Shang was afraid that he would be implicated if the case dragged on, so as the ruling Jinwu was the first to bear the main responsibility, he was busy.
Then, Xiahou Shang attached to Cao Pi's ear and said: "Zihuan, this matter should not be delayed for a long time, you must cut through the mess quickly, and it will change later." ”
Cao Pi was taken aback and said, "How can you say this?" ”
Xiahou Shang said in a low voice: "The task of taking care of the Ma Mansion is fully responsible for you and the school guards under your command, if you don't deal with it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that Zijian's side will take the opportunity to make waves, and if you join you in front of the Prime Minister, the gains outweigh the losses." Don't let a small thing go wrong. ”
Cao Pi's face changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "What can I do? ”
Xiahou Shang said: "Now that it has been ascertained as a fire accident, and the physical witnesses are complete, it is necessary to report to the court based on facts." In this way, at most, the Yeshi and Zhijingo will be held accountable for their dereliction of duty, and it will not affect Zihuan at all. ”
Cao Pi was overjoyed, patted Xiahou Shang's shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "Boren sees it, so he will follow your words." ”
Cao Pi said loudly: "Listen, this matter is handled by General Xiahou Shang, who is in charge of Jinwu, and I ask for the full cooperation of the division and relevant people." Let the rest of the idlers disperse as well. ”
"Order!" "Yes!" The officials and soldiers present received the order with a bang.
Then, Cao Pi said some words to Ma Teng, comforted the people of Ma Mansion, and then went away with Sima Yi, went back to the house, and continued to find Dai Lishan to relive the old dream.
Seeing this, Liu Chankou and Zhao Yun, who were hiding in the crowd, gave each other thumbs up, looked at each other and smiled, and also left the scene with the rest of the crowd and returned to the inn to rest.
A secret agent of the Netherworld Guard had already reported the burning of the Mafu to Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhi was fighting against Cao Ying, the left envoy of the darkness, and Xiahou Qingyan, the right envoy of the Dark Guard, who was writing poems in the mansion. Cao Zhi's heart moved, so he asked him to continue to investigate.
Cao Ying frowned and said coldly: "There must be something strange about the fire that broke out in the middle of the night!" ”
Cao Ying was born to Mrs. Cao Cao Yin, twenty-five years old, born with skin better than snow, eyebrows and starry eyes, cold and amazing, deep scheming, and a sword of ice and snow.
Xiahou laughed lightly and said, "Sister Ying, you are too hearty. Yecheng is not without fires, and it is normal for Mafu to have a sudden fire. What's more, the Weiwei Mansion is in charge of Cao Pi's school guard, what does it have to do with our Netherworld? ”
Xiahou Qingyan is the maiden niece of Xiahou Yuan's wife, who grew up with Xiahou Yuan's family and became Xiahou Yuan's adopted daughter, twenty-four years old, with a skin color that deceives frost and snow, has plump breasts and fat buttocks, is charming and cute, has a passionate personality, and is jealous and hateful.
Both women did not like the sinister and lustful and ambitious Cao Pi, and were like-minded with the upright and dashing Cao Zhi, because of their high martial arts, outstanding ability, and repeated miraculous feats, Cao Cao recommended Cao Zhi to be appointed as the deputy commander of the Netherworld.
Cao Zhi groaned for a while, and said: "Sister Qingyan, Sister Ying is thoughtful, the safety of Ma Teng's family is related to the war in Xiliang, and the fire in Mafu is not trivial, and it cannot be taken lightly." What's more, Zihuan once pursued the fire phoenix Ma Yunlu, and the guard of the Ma Mansion was in charge of the school guard, maybe there was something greasy in this, and he could get Brother Pi's handle. ”
Cao Zhi stood up suddenly, his eyes burned, he clenched his fists, and said categorically: "Sister Ying, Qingyan, you are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, secretly and secretly investigate, if there are any clues, come and report immediately." ”
"Ordered. Guardian. Cao Ying and Xiahou Qingyan were very excited, and they took the order to leave.
That night, Liu Chan, who returned to the inn, slept very deeply and soundly, and arranged Ma Yunlu and the five of them in the other two rooms that had been opened in advance.
Early the next morning, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the owner of the Fulai Inn and the shopkeeper, after the morning exercise as always, Liu Chan and the others returned to the Fulai Inn for breakfast.
Back in the guest room, Wei Xiaoqi came and reported to Liu Chan the information from Wei Wei. It turned out that although Cao Pi, the head of the school guard, asked Xiahou Shang to close the case and report it as soon as possible according to the normal fire situation. However, the deputy commanders Lu Hong and Zhao Da, who broke the sword, believed that they were Cao Cao's relatives and cronies, but secretly dispatched troops to conduct secret investigations. It is estimated that Cao Zhi's side will not stand idly by, and also send secret agents, and the situation is a little tense.
After discussing with Zhao Yun, Liu Chan felt that he had to leave Yecheng, a dangerous place of right and wrong, that day. Immediately asked Xiao Qi to go back immediately to convey the order to Wei Wei, Ma Yunlu's five identity documents must be completed before lunch, and all personnel must evacuate Yecheng before closing the city gate after dark.
After Wei Xiaoqi left, Zong Pre and Yan Yu came to report that Boss Lu of the Fulai Inn intended to transfer the inn. After many inquiries from them, they found out that this Boss Lu was a person from Jiangdong, a distant relative of Lu Meng, because his mother was critically ill and Yecheng's taxes were high, Yousi often extorted money, and it became more and more difficult to do business, so he had the idea of transferring the store and going home.
After discussing with Zhao Yun, Liu Chan felt that the opportunity was rare, and decided that Zong Pre and Yan Yuchu would take down this shop as the secret base of the Ye Cheng Division, the director of the Military Intelligence Office. At the same time, in case the rescue plan is broken, you can kill two birds with one stone, and throw the black pot of rescuing Ma Teng's family to Jiangdong Wugou Mansion to carry.
Zong Pre and Yan Yu acted according to the plan and immediately discussed with Boss Lu. Boss Lu was in a hurry to make a move, and when he saw someone taking over, he was even more overjoyed when he saw that someone was a guest in the store. After negotiation, the deal was finally concluded at a price that was satisfactory to both parties, and everyone was happy.
According to Liu Chan's meaning, Zong and Yan Yu asked Boss Lu to leave Yecheng immediately before the sun set today, and pay the money immediately after handing over the deed.
Boss Lu promised to come down, and immediately packed up his luggage with his family and men and left Yecheng as soon as possible.
