Chapter 19: The Sudden Killing

A stream of warm water fell from a height of one zhang, and Tie Xinyuan sat cross-legged on a chair carved in stone, tilting his head back to accept the water.

On the tall dome, there were small pieces of sunlight scattered from above, flickering, and I don't know if it was because of the dark clouds, or if the swaying locust tree outside blocked the sunlight.

When all the grease had been removed, he walked over the belly stone wrapped in a large blanket, and this time he did not lie down on it, because there were three corpses neatly placed on it.

It wasn't killed by home, of course, there is no need to explore it carefully, and before the government arrives, it's better not to do anything.

Brother Qiao ate the dates one by one, and he didn't worry about it, and when he saw that Tie Xinyuan had finished taking a bath, he pointed to the three corpses on the belly stone and said, "It's all Semu people, and the Semu man who helped you wipe your back just now is also among them."

It's all a cut throat, and the attack is very sharp. ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled bitterly: "We are trapped here, the people from the government should have already come, but they don't know where to hide to watch our movements." ”

Brother Qiao nodded and said: "The gate has been closed, I can't get out, I didn't climb the wall, I'm worried about being shot to death by someone else's arrow, we didn't do it, I don't believe they can frame us?" But how did you manage to keep yourself from screaming out and taking a quiet shower? ”

Tie Xinyuan looked at Brother Qiao and smiled bitterly: "If yelling was useful, I would have called a long time ago." ”

"It is worthy of being the best in my great Song Taixue, and this calmness is enough to be proud of my peers.

The reason why you didn't leave was waiting for the old man to come out? A wizened official in his fifties dressed in a green robe and wearing a sable crown appeared on the edge of the belly stone.

It was just because he saw the corner of the green shirt just now that Tie Xinyuan gritted his teeth and insisted on taking an unforgettable bath next to the dead man, and now, this person came out. Tie Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

There is a hint of yellowish tassel on the crown of his sable cicada, which indicates that he is from the Punishment Division.

The man waved his hand gently, and no more light was spilling from the dome, and through the small holes in the dome, he could even see the stars in the sky.

"We don't do it." Tie Xinyuan came to the small grid to change into his clothes, and then said solemnly to the official.

"That's what every thief who kills someone says." The green-clothed official said quietly.

"You're not a righteous official, are you?" Tie Xinyuan looked at the officials and didn't care.

"How. Isn't it? ”

"If you were a righteous official, you wouldn't call me, a student, a thief.

Only an official like you, who relies on the accumulation of merit and comes up step by step, will hate it from the bottom of his bones and look down on the scholars in Taixue.

You probably don't even look down on your own superiors, right? Tie Xinyuan asked Xiao Fu'er to help him dry his wet hair with a cloth towel, and replied casually.

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, the old man doesn't believe that you can laugh when you reach the Yamen of the Criminal Division."

The green-robed official was obviously a little angry, and Qiao'er gently tugged at Tie Xinyuan's shirt, signaling him not to provoke this guy.

Tie Xinyuan walked in front of the belly stone, looked at the three corpses facing the sky on their backs and frowned and asked, "How many people died?" Is there a person from my Great Song Dynasty?

If not, I will immediately go and complain to the Taixue Mountain Chief about your shameless behavior. ”

The green-robed official said with a smile: "The Criminal Code is a good read. If you can't be courteous to a concubine, you can't punish a doctor, this sentence makes sense.

A few people with colored eyes died, and I can't work to mention the criminal division, but I, the Song people, have seven people dead, and there are relatives of the emperor in the middle, how do you think this official should treat you? ”

Tie Xinyuan glanced at Brother Qiao in shock, none of them expected that the matter would be so serious.

in Tokyo. Whether it's a big cannibal or a lustful man. Or the people of the Western Regions, although they have endless disputes with each other, they never dare to involve the Song people.

The laws of the Great Song Dynasty were extremely selfish, and once the battle of the foreigners hurt the Song people, then the imperial court would only punish all the foreigners and would not ask for any reason. This large-scale indiscriminate punishment will not stop until the Outlanders hand over the culprit.

Now that the Song people are dead, there is still an imperial prince, which makes Tie Xinyuan suddenly feel that he is in big trouble.

The dead royal prince can't be Li Wei, right?

Tie Xinyuan rubbed his cheeks vigorously and said, "Where are the other corpses, can I take a look?" ”

The green-robed official smiled: "What you are in Taixue Middle School is not a system. Do you dare to look at those broken corpses? ”

"I escaped by luck, naturally I want to see the corpse, to see how lucky I am, please make it easier to bring about the execution, I want to find some evidence that it was not our people. It's better to clear the suspicion as soon as possible and go home to extract oil. ”

The green-robed official clapped his hands, and more than a dozen errand servants poured out of all around, the most exaggerated of which were two fat women with their hair wrapped in green cloth, a leather belt around their waists, and an iron chain in their hands.

When Tie Xinyuan saw the two women, he immediately pointed angrily at the green-robed official and said, "When I took a bath just now, were these two sluts also present?" ”

For the first time, the green-robed official arched his hand and said: "You are too handsome, and people with colored eyes can't distinguish between men and women, so it's also safe to find a female prisoner."

Rest assured, the official has warned them not to talk nonsense, otherwise they will die with a cane! ”

Tie Xinyuan glared at the two female prisoners with meaty faces fiercely, and said to the officials: "Let them go back, it's enough for me to stay." ”

The green-robed official smiled: "There are three male corpses here, each of them is fat and strong, and they were killed by a sharp blade with a throat cut, to be honest, this official doesn't believe that you, a weak student, can have such skills."

Three years ago, the battle of Changsong Bridge, more than ten splashes of the Qiao Daguan with a whistle stick on the sky and no door, and finally they could only kneel and beg for mercy, each person obediently suffered ten whistle sticks, and no one dared to stay in the basket alley again, it was really majestic, so majestic! ”

Brother Qiao let out a long laugh and said, "In that case, how about a certain family stay and let my younger brothers leave?" ”

The green-robed official shook his head and said, "If the case is not solved for a day, you will not be allowed to leave for a day."

Tie Xinyuan, don't you want to see those broken corpses? Then go and see it, just don't spit it out. ”

Tie Xinyuan stopped the angry Brother Qiao, took out a handkerchief and tied it to his nose, made a gesture of invitation to the green-robed official, and followed him out of the steaming room.

When I came to the patio, it was really dark outside, but seven or eight lanterns and a dozen fireballs lit up the courtyard like the day.

The light that leaked from the dome when I was bathing should have come from these lanterns.

Tie Xinyuan forcibly went to see where Li Wei lived, but followed the footsteps of the green-robed official and walked into the door of a flower hall.

There were four corpses lying in the flower hall, all of them were Song people, and they blasted away the flies that landed on the screen door, and Tie Xinyuan walked in with the green-robed official.

The green-robed official retracted his hand into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Look at how powerful this knife technique is, it cuts the throat cleanly and neatly, but I don't understand why the thieves and prisoners cut five more knives on their bodies after they are already dead, exposing their hearts, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys." ”

Tie Xinyuan glanced at the corpse and walked out of the flower hall, took off his handkerchief and asked, "Aren't these people related to Sun Yangzhengdian?" ”

The green-robed official laughed and said: "Tie Gongzi still knows some things, Deng Ba is this kind of death, and that case was also taken over by my Sun Ze, and it has not been solved for a long time, and Shangguan has already heard a whisper." ”

"In that case, you will solve the case, what are you going to do with a few of us young people who have been sleeping all night?"

Sun Ze shook his head and smiled: "The last time Deng Ba's death was a headless case, there was only such a corpse, plus Deng Ba's family was all over the world, how do you want me to solve the case?"

This time is different, when the old man first came in, he not only found more than a dozen dead people here, but also found eight big living people, although they all slept and hated to death, after all, there were living people in the place where the crime occurred.

Naturally, the old man will lock off this place and wait for you to wake up and see how you will face the dead body.

As a result, it was really unexpected, among the eight of you, one of them would take a slow bath, washing very seriously, and the others actually ran to look at the corpse.

What do you want me to think? You don't care about the panic and panic that ordinary people should have, that fat man actually lifted the short skirt of the corpse to look at the lower body of others, and compared the size of the guy, which really made the official feel ridiculous. ”

After Sun Ze finished saying a long list of words, he stared at Tie Xinyuan's eyes and said word by word: "This official really wants to know what you group of people are doing?" ”

Tie Xinyuan opened his mouth and said, "I'm a Taixue ......"

"Shut up!"

Sun Ze roared angrily, pointed to the corpses in the flower hall and asked, "Will the person who can keep his face changing when surrounded by corpses be a good person?" ”

"We are stupid and bold ......"

"Shut up, if you dare to prevaricate this official again, you are a scholar and an old man who can't hold you, do you think that the old man's little splashes can't do anything?

Under Miki, give what you want, and make it clear as soon as possible, so as not to regret it in the future. ”

Tie Xinyuan sighed, pointed to the next room and said, "Since it is a group of dead people, there must be one next door, let's go and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he pushed open the screen door, glanced inside, and said, "Khitans? ”

"Cui Yan, the deputy envoy of the Liao State for the New Year, was stabbed three times in the body, the knife broke his heart, and the four orchids all died of broken necks."

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "No wonder you are crazy, Cui Yan's guards are also dead, right?" ”

Sun Ze said with a gloomy face: "The four Liao State guards died with a broken neck, without exception. ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled bitterly: "In this way, I think our group of people are very suspicious." ”

Sun Ze pushed open the last door and pointed to the poor corpse inside and said: "Li Wei, the nephew of His Majesty's biological mother, was stabbed in the body, this knife cut his eyes, and the blade entered the ...... of his brain."

Tie Xinyuan didn't listen to Sun Ze's nagging, but leaned down and carefully confirmed Li Wei's identity, and sighed: "This annoying guy is finally dead." (To be continued.) )
