Chapter 46: The Man Behind the Scenes
"Porcelain shop?"
Li Yaowei and the four of them exclaimed and looked at each other, that is to say, these five porcelain shops selling oil-saving lamps are the most suspicious.
"Lock down these five porcelain shops." Li Yaowei said to the officials of Wannian County, and then turned to Chai Fu and said, "You go and identify it, and see if the person is inside." ”
Chai Fu had seen the suspect, so he directly recognized the person who appeared in Jiahuifang in the second porcelain shop, but the shopkeeper was not there.
"You set the fire?" Sun Huai asked this person.
"Not ......"
"Then why are you there?"
"Someone! Call me! "The county commander of Wannian County, Wu Jiacong, ordered directly. The official came directly to carry this person and was about to start.
Li Yaoyu frowned, it seems that this guy has not done this kind of trick of extorting confessions by torture before, but he doesn't want to care about it now, not to mention ancient times, this kind of thing is commonplace now. He just wants results.
Before he could do it, the man was afraid, "Don't, I say, I say!" ”
"The shopkeeper told me to burn it."
"Where's your shopkeeper?"
"I don't know."
"What's his name and where does he live?"
……
……
When the group rushed to Ma Dahua's residence, they found that his family of seven, plus twenty servants, a total of twenty-seven people, had all been killed!
Twenty-seven bodies lay on the ground in the house, some with broken arms and legs, and the blood stained the floor and walls of the house red.
"Gross!" Li Yaoyu had never seen such a bloody scene, so he ran directly outside the door and vomited, and the meal he ate in the morning was all vomited clean, along with the stomach juice. Although seeing corpses in film and television dramas, seeing and seeing at the scene is not at all the same level of feeling.
"Xianggong!" Seeing that his face was pale and he was vomiting, Wu Yao and Xiao Xuan were very worried, and kept gently patting his back.
……
After rinsing his mouth, Sun Huai and the servants were almost surveyed, to be honest, Sun Huai was not comfortable, although he had also seen murder scenes, but it was the first time that it was so terrible, and the fifth Ming's stomach was also turbulent, the only normal ones were the fifth Yao and Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan didn't go in to see it, the fifth Yao was used to it, after all, she had killed a lot of people.
"It's getting a little weird." Fifth, Ming's brows tightened.
Sun Huai also frowned, and analyzed: "Depending on the situation, someone should have instructed Ma Dahua to burn your newspaper, maybe after it was exposed, or he was afraid that the incident would be exposed, so he directly killed Ma Dahua." ”
"Ma Dahua is also a rich man, and he has no grievances with the prime minister, he can instruct him, presumably the people behind the scenes are not ordinary people." Fifth Yao thought for a moment.
Li Yaowei was still very uncomfortable, but now that he heard this result, he was even more uncomfortable, "I didn't offend anyone, did I?" ”
"Could it be some literati who Xianggong offended before?" Xiaoxuan said. He remembered that in the past, at the door of Du Manwan's house, he lost the face of a few talented people.
"You mean Zhang Wencai, Cheng Daolin, Chen Yi?" Li Yaowei pondered for a moment before he remembered these people.
"What about the power in their family?"
"Cheng Daolin and Chen Yi's father are both six-grade officials, and they don't seem to have such ability. Zhang Wencai's mother is the younger sister of Li Xuandao, the head of the Qin Palace, and she can't talk about much power. And, as far as I know, they are all good officials who are honest and honest. "Sun Huai's father has been an official for many years, and he is Li Jiancheng's adviser, and he knows most of the officials in the imperial court very well.
Li Yaowei disagrees with Sun Huai's idea, a person's good or bad will not be written on his face, and similarly, his ability and power will not be exposed. "Is there any evidence of any findings?"
"Nope. It is also strange to say that if you want to buy Ma Dahua, you should use property or promise any benefits, but so far we have searched and found no valuables. ”
"In other words, the people behind the scenes gave him some promises or conditions." Fifth, Ming answered.
It seems that the people behind the scenes are very likely to be rich and noble, and are they really the families of those people? Li Yaojian pondered.
"It's strange why the people behind the scenes would go to the East Market and bribe a porcelain merchant to set fire? He can do it with any of his men, right? ”
Fifth Yao discovered that something was wrong with this. After she had been reminded, everyone suddenly realized.
"Yes, it's too troublesome, there are more people who handle it, and it's easy to be exposed, just like now, we found it in a day. If the person behind the scenes sends one of his own masters, we probably won't be able to find out at all. Sun Huai clapped his hands and said.
"Is this just a coincidence?" Xiao Xuan muttered.
Fifth Yao shook his head: "There's no way to draw conclusions, I hope it's just a coincidence." ”
"I'm so annoyed, who's so boring?" Li Yaoyu grabbed his hair, his thoughts were completely messed up, confused, and he still couldn't think of any useful information even if he wanted to break his head.
"Brother Li doesn't have to worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, maybe things are not as bad as I thought." Sun Huai comforted.
"At the moment, it seems that he is only doing things against me, not my life." Li Yaowei's only psychological comfort is this, and I hope so, no one wants anyone to be bent on killing themselves.
Fifth Ming thought for a while, frowned and said, "If that's the case, the people of the Merry Poetry Newspaper are very suspicious. ”
"I hope so." Sun Huai nodded, "I don't know much about the background of the Merry Poetry Newspaper, so I need to take some time to investigate." ”
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Li Yaoyu said gratefully, this guy is still quite righteous.
Sun Huai smiled heartily and said, "Brother Li doesn't have to be polite, we are also friends, and if a friend is in need, I will definitely be duty-bound." ”
……
……
"Looks like I'm going to keep a low profile in the future." On the way home, Li Yaowei said with a wry smile. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Too high-profile and too famous, it doesn't seem to be a good thing.
"Don't worry about the husband, just do whatever you want." Fifth Yao smiled and said, the thought in her heart was: With me, no one can hurt you or hurt you.
When he got home, Li Yaoyu lay on the bed tiredly, thinking about today's events, and he never had any clue. However, I have decided in my heart that for the next period of time, I will keep a low profile, keep quiet, and be a poet who is hidden in the city, and I don't want to do anything else. Seeing the fate of Ma Dahua's family, Li Yaowei was scared, if the person who killed Ma Dahua was the mastermind behind the arson of Ma Dahua, then Li Yaoyu really didn't dare to provoke him, afraid that he would involve Fifth Yao and Xiaoxuan.
They are Li Yaoji's women, and they are his only relatives in this world.
Li Yaoji, who was lying on the bed, didn't dare to close his eyes at all, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the picture of the tragedy in Ma Dahua's home would appear in his mind. That bloody scene always lingered in Li Yaoji's mind. Living in an environment where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, but seeing such a bloody and terrifying scene, it is estimated that Li Yaoyu will be affected in this life.
"Xianggong, are you uncomfortable?" Fifth Yao saw his painful expression and guessed that it should be the scene at Ma Dahua's house.
"Hmm."
Fifth Yao let him lie in his arms and gently massaged his head, while Xiaoxuan washed his face with a towel.
It's so warm. This is how Li Yaojian feels.
