Chapter 291: The Victim (Medium)

Wu Miao walked back and forth in the room with an uneasy face, he had just received the news that the Criminal Investigation Department had found new clues, and was sending someone to a private house in the south of the city to get someone.

Recently, several yamen in Hangzhou have worked together, and even the people of Jinyiwei have been moved by them to start casting nets all over the city to find suspicious people, which already makes him feel bad, and now the other party has really found clues, if those guys really fall into the hands of Lu Zhen and others, won't they also be greatly implicated?

I wanted to kill people with a knife and kill the guy who wanted to get rid of the prince as soon as possible to win his favor, so as to go further. Unexpectedly, the result brought such a big hidden danger to himself.

"This Lu Zhen is really a misfortune, this can't kill him! can still find the Xu family as his backer, otherwise...... "The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, Wu Miao picked up a vase on the shelf, and slammed it on the ground, smashing it to pieces.

This shattering sound immediately alarmed several cronies outside the house, and when they saw Wu Miao like this, they didn't even dare to breathe half of the atmosphere, and they were full of worry when they lowered their heads, and they didn't know what was going on there.

At this moment, a red figure walked quickly from the corridor in front of them, and when they looked closely, it was a captain of the brocade guard, who was also familiar with a few of them, which made their hearts throb even more violently - could it be that someone was caught?

Even Wu Miao hurriedly came out of the door after seeing the person coming: "What did Luo Qianhu say over there?" The tone was eager and dry......

Outside the city.

Even though it was still noon and the sun was just right, there was always a sense of gloom and compassion here, as if something had obscured the light. This made Xu Mu, the secretary of the Criminal Division, feel a little uncomfortable, especially when he took out one of the stiff and blackened corpses from the coffin in front of him, which made his scalp tingle.

Hangzhou, as a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River, generally speaking, there are very few things like being unable to collect corpses. Therefore, the Yizhuang used to house the ownerless corpse has always been idle. But the previous rebellion of the Japanese invaders made this place full of corpses.

A month has passed, the local people of Hangzhou, as well as the soldiers who died on the battlefield that day, have almost been collected away, and now only the corpses of those Japanese robbers are left here.

But the situation of this corpse at the moment obviously looks more special. Xu Muqiang resisted the urge to vomit, and after carefully looking at the corpse up and down, he asked with some doubts: "You said that this is also the corpse of the widow?" But he was not wearing the clothes of a widow, and the texture was quite good. If this official sees it well, this should be the silk produced by me in Zhejiang. ”

"Adults have good eyesight." He nodded and flattered, and then said: "So the little one feels that things are a little strange, since he doesn't look like a wolf, then why is no one claiming the body?" As a result, ......" said, the one seemed a little excited, and took out something from his sleeve in a trembling manner, but it was a somewhat yellowed wanted notice: "My lord, please take a look." ”

Xu Mu took advantage of the candlelight on the side to take a closer look at the image drawn on the notice and the name written on it, and his heart suddenly moved. After looking at the corpse carefully, his mouth opened a lot wider: "He...... It turned out to be Xie Jinglong, the second son of the Xie family, who was on the run? ”

"Exactly. The small one was also a portrait that I saw at the gate when I left the castle at the sun before, and I felt that the painting on it was familiar, so I rushed to confirm it. No, he is really Xie Jinglong. He explained with some excitement, just like a performance.

Xu Mu naturally understood what he meant, and nodded approvingly at him: "You did a good job, this discovery has indeed made a lot of contributions to the government." At that time, the official will definitely show your merits to the court. ”

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness." He hurriedly thanked him. However, his words were not listened to by Xu Mu, because at this moment, the lord had fallen into deep thought-

How could Xie Jinglong, who had not been found before and could only be sent to the sea to catch him, appear in this battle outside Hangzhou? He also fled to the city with the rest of the people, and then died there? Or is it ...... The latter guess is really more convincing, and Xu Mu can't even think about it.

But at this moment, following him, a soldier who had been guarding the side before whispered: "This corpse ...... Marked before I saw it! ”

"Have you seen this corpse? How did you recognize him? Xu Mu asked with some surprise.

The soldier hesitated for a moment before he said, "Wasn't there a lot of corpses outside the city before?" The adults sent us out of the city to converge, and the little ones were among them. At that time, there were still some valuable things on this corpse, and there were some disputes with people about it, so I remembered it. Yes, although his appearance is a little unrecognizable, this dress cannot be wrong. At that time, the label had the idea of moving this dress, but it was only later that I thought it was inappropriate, so I didn't really touch him......"

Xu Mu did not pursue his practice of making money from the dead, this kind of thing cannot be stopped, and he is most concerned about another point: "Then do you remember where he died?" ”

"He died two miles from the Genshan Gate, along with the bodies of two of our brothers and three other Wakos."

Hearing this, Xu Mu slowly exhaled a breath. The mystery in my heart was also solved: "If what you said is true, this person should be a gang of Japanese robbers." Speaking of this, his eyes lit up even more, because he knew that he had found the most powerful evidence that could clear Lu Jin's suspicion.

Both the officials and the people in Hangzhou know the grievances and contradictions between Lu Zhen and the Xie family. Now, this young master of the Xie family who escaped alive is actually a gang of pirates, and judging by his appearance when he died, he should still be the target of the pirates' key protection, and he should be an important person for them. How could Lu Jin, who was the enemy of the Xie family, collude with them?

Therefore, a bold speculation also came to Xu Mu's mind - I'm afraid that all this is the remnants of the Xie family and the Japanese in collusion against Hangzhou and revenge on Lu Jin!

Thinking of this, Xu Mu no longer had the intention of staying, and immediately ordered: "Quickly, transport this corpse back to the yamen, and the official will explain everything to several adults!" ”

Immediately, the body was put back in the coffin, and then it was carried out of the village, loaded into a cart outside the door, and dragged by horses to the city.

In Hangzhou City that day, a rare anecdote occurred. In the past, it was only seen that people carried coffins outside the city for burial after they died, but today there are people who carry coffins to the city......

Somewhere in the south of the city, the area around the house of Sanjin has been surrounded by officers and soldiers at this moment.

Lu Zhen and the others stood outside the encirclement, looking at this silent mansion, but they were nervous in their hearts.

The previous scrutiny did work. It's not that I found a clue, but there is a guy who is hidden in the Criminal Division who wants to escape from Hangzhou City at night.

As a result, as soon as he acted, he was discovered by the people of Jinyiwei who had been on guard for a long time, and he was naturally not Jinyiwei's opponent, and he was quickly captured. Then, there was the routine torture, and the person could not stand the torture, and finally revealed his identity.

It turned out that he was actually a new member who had been being bought and absorbed by the White Lotus Sect, which had been hiding among the people and was about to move, and the purpose of his stay in the Criminal Investigation Division was to monitor all the actions of the officials, so as to report the news and let the people of the White Lotus Sect prepare early. In addition, He Huizhou's death that night was actually what he secretly brought people in!

When they learned of this news, the people of the Criminal Investigation Division were taken aback, and they didn't expect that there were people from the White Lotus Sect watching around them for a long time.

Then, from this mouth, he asked about a secret stronghold of the White Lotus Sect in the city. Therefore, Lu Zhen and the others arranged for the Jinyi Guard and several soldiers from the Yamen to quickly dispatch and surround this place.

It's just that since they surrounded the house here, there has been no movement inside, as if the house has long been empty.

Soon, the people who had already entered the courtyard also came out to report: "My lord, the three entrances inside and outside this house have been searched, and there is no suspicious person!" ”

It's still a step too late! The other party must have been uneasy because of the strict investigation in the yamen two days ago, so he left this stronghold one step earlier. Perhaps, they are no longer in Hangzhou City at this time!

Lu Jin sighed with some pity. Subsequently, some people from the Jinyi Guard found some objects related to the White Lotus Sect from a secret room in the third room of the house-a shrine for the Maitreya Buddha statue, as well as several related scriptures.

With this evidence in hand, it is enough to prove that this matter is indeed a conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect, and the death of He Huizhou, the envoy of Zhejiang, was also the result of the conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect, not by Lu Jin.

Although he failed to catch the real culprit, Lu Zhen could finally breathe a sigh of relief. With these, plus some previous suspicions, as long as they are sent to the capital, it is enough to prove that they are innocent. Moreover, there is also Hu Hu in the court to take care of it, presumably it can wash away the grievances!

After making up his mind, Lu Zhen asked some people to stay here for further searching, and he rushed back to the political secretary with these physical evidences to report everything to Huang Qinru.

And what he didn't know was that not far away, among the people who stopped to watch, Bai Lian, who was dressed in cloth, stared at his back with deep eyes: "I really didn't expect it wrong, this Lu Zhen will indeed be a big trouble for my Holy Sect." This time, instead of putting him to death, he found out our person and dwelling, and this man is indeed terrible, and must be eliminated as soon as possible! ”

When Lu Zhen came to the Political Division, he hurriedly saw Huang Qinru, and just wanted to report the news he had found, but found that Huang Qinru's face was full of helpless sadness. At the same time, Wu Miao also swaggered in, and as soon as he saw Lu Jin, a gloating smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Lord Lu, how are you doing lately?" ”

It's the beginning of a new month.,It's the so-called January at the beginning.,So let passers-by be cheeky and ask for tickets.,Month's and recommended's can be!!!
