The seventieth chapter of the third volume of the emperor's prosperity chases the murderer
Bang! Bang! Open the door, open the door! A thunderous voice started in Qingzhou, and it was late at night, and many sleeping people nearby were suddenly woken up, and they couldn't help cursing, and turned over and fell asleep again.
Fang Yanqian was also woken up by the knock on the door and shouting, jumped up from the bed, and after hurriedly getting dressed, he hurriedly walked out of the door, asking as he went, "What's the matter?" ”
The door had been opened by the family, and the person who was banging on the door just now flashed in, and when he saw Fang Yanqian, he hurriedly said: "My lord, it's not good, something happened, something big." ”
"Don't worry, you speak slowly." Fang Yanqian recognized that this person was the Qingzhou Mansion he sent out to see the Lujiazhuang Courtyard to catch cattle and catch heads, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
"All dead, my lord, Lujia Village is all dead."
"What nonsense, everything is dead." Fang Yanqian frowned, there are more than 200 households in Lujia Village, nearly 1,000 people, how can they all die.
Niu Zhutou realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly changed his words: "My lord, all the people in the courtyard of Lujiazhuang are dead." ”
"Let's go, take the official to have a look."
Fang Yanqian immediately took only a few guards and ordered to go out of the city, if it was usual, except for the assassin history after nightfall, no one could open the city gate, but since Fang Yanqian got the information that the assassin might have something to do with the Lu family, Wei Yi re-entrusted Fang Yanqian with important responsibilities, Sima originally had the power to take charge of military discipline and law enforcement, and now Fang Yanqian has mastered more than half of the soldiers and horses sent abroad, and he can enter and exit at any time at night, but he doesn't have to bother with the assassination of the Shi Mansion.
Lujia Village is nearly twenty miles away from Qingzhou City, and when Fang Yanqian and others rushed to Lujia Village, the sky was already slightly bright. Last night, more than a dozen people were killed in the village. The people of Lujia Village were so frightened that they couldn't figure it out, and there were also some bold people who gathered outside the gate of Lujiazhuang and pointed inside, and more than ten officials in the village had sealed off the scene.
"Your Excellency. My lord. Seeing Fang Yanqian coming, the officials who were guarding the courtyard of Lujiazhuang saluted one after another.
Fang Yanqian didn't care about asking the officer, and immediately pushed open the door and walked in, and suddenly a strong smell of blood came.
"My lord, please inside!" The cow catcher made a gesture of please.
Fang Yanqian informed the courtyard and strode into the main hall under the guidance of the official to catch the fast. I was stunned when I saw the scene in front of me, the hall was full of corpses, the whole ground was covered with blood, and the most cruel thing was that there was a person hanging on the wall in a large zigzag, and the four sharp knives that supported the person's weight pierced the limbs of the person on the wall respectively, staring the person firmly at the wall, and the sharp knife could be inserted into the wall to support the weight of one. It can be seen how powerful the murderer is.
Fang Yanqian checked it, and this person had no injuries except for the injuries on his limbs, and it was very likely that he died of excessive bleeding. Seeing Fang Yanqian staring at the person on the wall without blinking his eyes, the cattle catcher and other officials secretly admired. You must know that you have suddenly seen so many corpses, and the methods are so cruel, even some noon workers who have dealt with corpses can't help but vomit, this Fang Sima Wen is from a scholar's background, but he is very bold.
"My lord, this person is Lu An, the person in charge of the Zhuang Yuan, and when we found him, his body was still warm, but he was already dead, so he didn't take it down." Niu Catcher explained.
Leaving Lu An's corpse, Fang Yanqian's eyes scanned the entire hall again, the tables and chairs in the middle of the hall had fallen to the side, and there was a half-gnawed roasted whole sheep on the ground, the sheep was covered with blood, the two wine urns next to it had been broken, and there were still traces of wine on the ground, but now it was dry, counted, there were still four wine bowls on the ground.
Fang Yanqian couldn't help but have a scene in his mind, last night Lu An and the other three were sitting in the hall, drinking wine in a big bowl and eating roast mutton, and suddenly rushed outside into a team of murderers, the Lu family Ding resisted, but he was not an opponent at all, and finally the other party killed all the family members, and tortured Lu An, and waited for Lu An to die before leaving.
No, Fang Yanqian looked at the corpse in the room again, only to find that a corpse was different, this corpse was lying alone not far from the table, although he was also wearing the clothes of the family, but he could not see the scars, and the hands were particularly thick and powerful, Fang Yanqian squatted down and touched the palm of the man's hand, his thumb and index finger were thick calluses, but the rest of the place was extremely smooth, not like a pair of family hands at all, but more like a soldier who had been holding weapons for a long time.
Fang Yanqian was immediately interested in this corpse, and ordered, "Turn him over." ”
The two officials forcibly endured the nausea and flipped the person over, this person's face was calm, and there was greasy and minced mutton on his mouth, except for the blood stains in his nostrils, there was nothing suspicious, Fang Yanqian dipped a little blood stain on his hand and put it in his nose and smelled it, except for the smell of blood and wine, he couldn't smell anything.
However, these are enough, Fang Yanqian revised his judgment, last night Lu An drank and ate meat with the three of them, and suddenly one of them bleed from his nostrils and fell, and the other two found that Lu An was poisoned in the wine, so they resisted, not only killed all of Lu's family, but also deliberately tortured Lu An before leaving.
"Niu Catcher, who first found out what happened here?"
"My lord, it's the village of this village."
"Get him."
"Yes."
It was an old man in his sixties, who trembled at the moment, raised his head and did not dare to look at the corpse on the ground.
"Old man, how did you find out that something happened to the Lu family?" Fang Yanqian tried to keep his voice as low as possible, for fear that the old man would be frightened again.
"Back to the adult, the little old man lives nearby, when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the screams from the Lu family compound, the little old man heard the voice of the young master Lu, as if he was in great pain, the little old man wanted to check, but the cry of the young master Lu made the little old man afraid, the little old man really didn't have the courage, and when the young master Lu stopped screaming for a long time, the little old man had the courage to come over, only to see the door of the Lu family break open, and when he came in, he found that it was like this, almost hacked the little old man to death, and hurriedly informed the official."
"So you haven't seen the murderer?"
"Nope."
"Okay, you go down." Although he didn't get anything from the village, Fang Yanqian was not disappointed: "Inform it, the murderer can't go far, take Lujia Village as the center, search for the two men wearing the clothes of the Lufu family within a radius of twenty miles, especially the pharmacy and the place where Langzhong is located, the murderer is very likely to be poisoned, send someone to inform the assassin Shi Mansion, the assassin has already appeared, let the assassin quickly send additional troops." ”
—
"Yes!" Several pro-soldiers strode away, and after a while, there was a "sting, stinging" from outside. With the sound of horses' hooves, Fang Yanqian's personal soldiers had set off according to his orders.
Fang Yanqian's order made several catchers look at each other, and the bull catcher couldn't help but ask: "My lord, how do you know that the murderers are two people, and they will wear the costumes of the Lu family." ”
"No, that's what he told the official." Fang Yanqian pointed to the corpse of the blood eagle and said: "Actually, the murderers are three people, this person is an accomplice of the murderer, but he has died here, so naturally there are two people left, why are he wearing the clothes of the family, the official also saw it from him." ”
As for why the three people were the assassins who assassinated the prince, of course, it was because of the earlier suspicions, but the Lu family was powerful, and Fang Yanqian naturally wouldn't shout nonsense until he found real evidence.
Lu Wei got up early in the morning and was boxing in the garden, people of his age couldn't sleep even if they wanted to, his spirit was very good today, mainly because he was happy in his heart, there were successors to the Lu family, and his grandson Lu Chong's plan yesterday could be tried.
"Master, master, it's not good." Lu was just about to retract his fist when a person outside the door shouted and broke in.
Lu Wei had already heard the voice of Lu Fugui, the head of the Lu Mansion, and was very surprised in his heart, and shouted: "What are you panicking, didn't you go with Young Master Sun to do something?" ”
Lu Fugui gasped heavily: "Master, I'm ...... I...... Young Master Sun and I had just left the city, but hundreds of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared behind us, and when we saw Young Master Sun, an officer told us that we had a murder in the village of Lujia Village in the northwest, and the young master must assist them in the investigation. ”
"Homicide." Lu was shocked, Changbai Sanying was in Lujiazhuang in the northwest of the city, if the government caught the three people, everything would be closed: "Do you know what murders happened and how many people died?" ”
Lu Fugui shook his head, he only got a half-claw of information from the officers and soldiers, how could he know the details.
"Quick, immediately send someone to Lujiazhuang, get the details of the situation, and send someone to keep an eye on the Thorn Mansion, and report back if there is any trouble in the Thorn Mansion."
"Obey." Lu Fugui hurriedly ran down.
Lu Wei stayed in a daze, scolding Lu An in his heart, how could he get someone's life, and let the government know, he couldn't imagine that Lu An was dead.
"Someone, someone." Lou yelled.
Several family members hurriedly responded: "Master, what are your orders?" ”
"Go, call the eldest young master over."
"Yes." Soon after the family went down, Lu Zang hurriedly came to his father's side and said respectfully, "What is the matter with the father calling the child?" ”
"You immediately prepare five hundred taels of gold to send to the house."
Lu Zang was shocked, five hundred taels of gold is not a small amount, the value is more than 10,000 yuan, and it is also an extremely painful thing for a family like the Lu family to take out so much gold at one time: "Father, why did you suddenly give so much gold to Fang Fu?" ”
As soon as Lu Wei told the housekeeper Lu Fugui what he had just reported, Lu Zang sat on the ground and muttered, "How is this good?" ”
Lu Wei's face showed a look of disgust, this son is the mud that can't support the wall, now that his grandson has been taken away by the official army, he can't help but think of his cousin Lu Xun in his mind, but he immediately expelled Lu Xun from his mind, and he can't send the handle to Lu Xun's hands.
