Although it has only been a long time since the hour was seen, the city of Hangzhou has been completely quiet, except for a few teams of officers and soldiers patrolling the night, there are no pedestrians to be seen, even those lights that could be illuminated everywhere in the past are all gone today, and the whole city gives people an extremely depressed and uneasy feeling.

There are only a few important yamen, which are still brightly lit at the moment, and from time to time, there are still clerks and errands hurrying through them with documents and other things, reporting the relevant news they have just received to several adults in time.

After the documents on the whereabouts of the Japanese invaders were sent from the front, one of the scribes did not dare to slack off, so he quickly took it and went to Lord He's public room in the second hall, where the lights were still the same, and He Huizhou was lying on the desk, as if he was taking a nap.

Like these people, Lord He has been staying in the yamen to deal with affairs large and small since he learned of the invasion of the Japanese invaders yesterday, and has never really rested at all. Although he is in his prime, this continuous hard work still makes him a little unable to support it, so it makes sense to rest on the desk for a while while there is nothing to do.

The scribe, who understood this, visibly hesitated when he came to the door of the house. However, when his eyes fell on the information in his hand about the appearance of the Japanese Kou fifty miles west of Hangzhou City, he still took a deep breath, walked into the door, and bent down to salute: "My lord! ”

He Huizhou seemed to be sleeping soundly, and he didn't have any reaction when he heard him call. This made the scribe have to step forward and shout a little louder: "My lord, there is an army to report!" ”

But as a result, He Huizhou, who was lying on the desk, was still motionless. This made his heart move, this kind of disturbance, even the people who were usually asleep were awakened, not to mention that Lord He was just taking a nap, and he still had things to do in his heart. There were doubts in his heart, so he couldn't help but step forward, gently shook He Huizhou's body with his hand, and said with some concern in his mouth: "My lord, but I am sick...... Ah......" After pushing He Huizhou's body, his greeting became an exclamation, but he saw that He Huizhou's body was actually pushed to the side by him, and at the same time, he also saw a short knife inserted in the other party's chest, as well as a large area of blood that had already soaked his chest!

This was really beyond the scrivener's expectations, and after a moment of stunnedness, he screamed loudly: "Come on! There are assassins! The sharp and eager shouts immediately pierced the quiet night sky and alarmed the people in the Criminal Division.

When everyone heard the sound and hurried over, what they saw was the corpse of He Huizhou lying on top of the bookcase, and the scribe standing beside him, trembling all over, and no longer knew what to do. Everyone's hearts were shocked, and a few of them even showed fear on their faces, and the dignified procurator was actually assassinated in the public house of the Punishment Division? And it's on this night of a Japanese invasion!

"You mean really?" Because there was a knife on his neck, Wu Miao only dared to swallow his saliva carefully, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "He Huizhou is an envoy, are you really sure to kill him?" ”

"Father-in-law, you are still a eunuch, and it didn't fall into my hands." The man smiled contemptuously: "Don't talk about the two of you, it's that Huang Qinru, as long as we want to, we can put him to death." Okay, I won't say much about this kind of thing, I just want you to put the charge of killing He Huizhou on the body of the government to sentence Lu Jin, this is not a difficult thing, right? And as far as I know, you've been thinking about dealing with him before, and this time we created such a good opportunity for you, you won't refuse, right? ”

Wu Miao was silent for a moment before finally speaking: "Our family can help you, but ...... It's not easy to frame him. ”

"Well, we have our own arrangements. Okay, the time is almost up, presumably someone from the Criminal Division has already found He Huizhou's body, father-in-law, you should also prepare. As he spoke, the man put his sword away, and the man stepped back.

Just when Wu Miao breathed a sigh of relief, this person added coldly: "Father-in-law Wu, I can find you today, and it is not difficult for him to get close to you in the future." So you'd better do what I want this time, or ......" After dropping a threatening sentence, the man jumped out of the back window and disappeared into the night.

Wu Miao saw him leave, his legs were only weak, and he sat down on the ground at once, and his right hand was still touching his neck, although the skin was not even broken, but the feeling of the sharp blade just now had always remained there, making the hairs on his body stand upside down.

After a long time, Wu Miao got up, and then shouted outside the door: "Someone!" ”

The door opened, and an attendant stood at the door and respectfully asked, "What do you command?" "What happened inside just now, he who was guarding the door obviously didn't know anything.

Seeing this, Wu Miao was naturally a little dissatisfied in her heart, but at this time, she could only press it down for the time being: "Find someone to go to the Criminal Division to take a look, if there is any chaos there, hurry back and report it to our family." ”

"Ah......" This person obviously couldn't keep up with Gonggong Wu's train of thought, and looked at him in a daze, with a confused face. Wu Miao didn't have the heart to explain too much to him, just waved his hand: "What are you doing here, why don't you go quickly?" ”

"Yes, yes......" The man finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly ran out, arranging for the people below to rush to the Criminal Division to investigate the news.

At this time, there was already a mess in the Punishment Division. Many officials, scribes, and servants were standing in front of He Huizhou's public house with pale faces, looking at a servant in the yamen who was looking at Lord He's already somewhat chilled body.

Some people kept glancing at their colleagues around them, but as long as they met someone, they quickly dodged away. Everyone felt a trace of panic and uneasiness in their hearts, Master He died in the yamen, and it was very likely that the murderer was also someone in the criminal department.

As long as the thought of a colleague beside him actually assassinating Master He in secret, the fear in everyone's hearts became even greater, and many people even subconsciously distanced themselves from the others, as if the assassin would suddenly stab themselves again.

Just when everyone was standing in front of the door nervously, poking their heads into the door one by one, a majestic voice suddenly sounded from behind: "What are you doing?" Why don't you get back to your errand? ”

When everyone turned around, they saw Lord Huang, whose eyes were red and bloodshot, and his face was extremely gloomy, striding in accompanied by several guards. As soon as they saw that it was him, everyone didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly turned around and left after giving it over.

"No one is allowed to leave the Criminal Prosecution Division without authorization, and those who dare to leave will be punished as murderers." Huang Qinru added another sentence. These words made the hearts of these adjutants of the criminal department mentioned it again, and after agreeing in a low voice, they quickly returned to their public houses.

Huang Qinru stood in front of the door, looking at the corpse of the colleague who was discussing countermeasures with him two hours ago, and was stunned: "Brother Shunxing, I didn't expect you to ...... Don't worry, I will definitely help you find the murderer, and Hangzhou will definitely be in chaos! After a slight loss of consciousness, he quickly regained his composure, and his eyes fell on the man who was inspecting the corpse inside: "What did you find?" ”

"Lord Hui, Lord He, he was stabbed in the heart and died, the murderer is not only a good player, but also should be familiar with Lord He. Because Lord He was completely defenseless, he was killed by his sword, and he didn't even alarm the others on the side. ”

Huang Qinru took a deep breath, and then stepped into the room. But after all, he was not good at judging the case, and although he looked at it carefully, he still didn't find anything.

At this moment, a slightly sharp and feminine voice also sounded from outside: "Lord He, Lord He, you go slowly, I, Wu Miao, am late!" ”

"Huh? How did he get here? Huang Qinru couldn't help frowning when he heard Wu Miao's voice. As a civil official with a serious background, he naturally rejects eunuchs like Wu Miao.

However, the identity of the other party is here, and Huang Qinru is not easy to ask someone to stop him, so in the end, he can only look at Wu Miao's face full of sadness, and he staggered to the door: "Lord He, you died so miserably, our family must find out the real murderer for you!" As he spoke, he didn't care that there were still people from the political envoy Si Yamen on the side, and Huang Qinru was still standing there, so he waved his hand: "A few of you, hurry up and go in and search to see if the murderer has left any traces and clues!" ”

Several men with fleshy faces and shiny eyes immediately walked into the public room, and without waiting for Huang Qinru and them to react, they pushed the puppet aside and rummaged through it by themselves.

"Gonggong Wu, what are you doing here?" Huang Qinru finally couldn't help it, and asked loudly: "Something happened to Master He, and someone from the Criminal Department came to investigate, did you bring someone here to be a bit arrogant?" ”

At this time, Wu Miao couldn't see the panicked look just now, only to see him squinting his eyes and staring at Huang Qinru without giving way: "Lord Huang, what you said is wrong. Now that the person was killed in the Criminal Division, then everyone here is suspicious, how can they be allowed to investigate the case again? Therefore, our family hurriedly brought people here, they are all good at investigating cases in the East Factory, so naturally they will not miss any clues, and they will judge impartially! ”

What he said also made some sense, so that Huang Qinru couldn't refute it for a while, so he could only stare at the other party hatefully, guessing in his heart what this eunuch was thinking.

At this moment, a Dongchang fan suddenly shouted: "What is this?" ”

Huang Qinru hurriedly looked back, and saw that this man took out a waist tag from the hem of He Huizhou's robe, and there was still half of his shoe print on it. But even so, everyone can still see clearly what words are carved on this waist card - Hangzhou Mansion Judgment Hall!
