Chapter III

"Ah~" With a scream, the crows that landed on the roof were all startled.

When it was just dawn, Wei Zhen was woken up by Wei Zhong. Wei Zhen was very angry about Wei Zhong's panicked appearance, got up and sat on the bed and asked impatiently, "What happened, so panicked." ”

Wei Zhong stood in place and hesitated, tears in his eyes.

"Say!" Wei Zhen chuckled in his heart, and had a very bad feeling.

"Childe is gone!" Wei Zhong knelt on the ground and cried out.

Listening to Wei Zhong's words, Wei Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood. , the body is shaking. Wei Zhong hurriedly helped Wei Zhen first, and instructed the maid to pour a cup of tea. Wei Zhen waved his hand vigorously, and with Wei Zhong's support, he walked towards Wei Tong's room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Wei Tong bare-chested, leaning on the bed, his head drooping, and his eyes wide. His exposed chest was covered with blood, proving how much pain Wei Tong had experienced before he died. Wei Zhen, who was pale, held the door frame with his left hand, his brows furrowed, and a few tears slipped from the corners of his eyes. His body trembled uncontrollably, and his heart seemed to be pierced by thousands of needles. Although Wei Zhen looks down on his son, he is his own flesh and blood after all. The pain of losing a child is heartbreaking.

"Wei Zhong, you go and report to the official!" Wei Zhen relied on the cushion to find a support for his weak body.

"Where to report to the official?" Wei Zhong said cautiously, I'm afraid that there is that sentence that pierces Wei Zhen's heart. Xuchang was the capital of the Han Dynasty at this time, and not only the Xuchang County Order had jurisdiction over it, but also the bad people had jurisdiction over it.

"Looking at Tong'er's purple skin, I'm afraid that he has been poisoned." As soon as Wei Zhen closed his eyes, his mind was full of Wei Tong's tragic situation, "He didn't eat at home last night, he went out to eat with Cao Shuang." The relationship between bad people and Cao Shuang is not ordinary, so let's go to Xuchang Yamen. ”

Wei Zhong quietly retreated and went straight to the Xuchang County Ya Station. Seeing Wei Zhong leaving, Wei Zhen howled and cried, crying like a child, and kept babbling, "Tong'er, why did you go for your father first?" After a long time, Wei Zhen wiped the tears on his face, and his eyes suddenly became fierce, "Tong'er, if you watch from the sky, your father will definitely avenge you!" ”

Zhang Wei, the commander of Xuchang County, heard that Wei Tong died in his bedroom, so he hurriedly rushed to the Wei Mansion with the officials. Such a big thing happened, everything was still business as usual in the Wei Mansion, everyone was doing their own work in an orderly manner, and Zhang Wei secretly admired the family with Wei Zhenzhi. It's just that this is not the time to talk to Wei Zhen about governing the family. As soon as he entered Wei Tong's room, Zhang Wei was shocked by Wei Tong's tragic situation.

"Zhang County's order, if you are not welcomed, please forgive me." The man sitting in the shadow of the room got up and took a few steps forward, the sunlight shining on Wei Zhen's face, looking a little out of place.

The Wei Zhen in front of him is chilling and unfamiliar. Zhang Wei had never seen such a Wei Zhen, and he exuded a vicious aura all over his body.

"Brother Wei's Day condolences!" Zhang Wei comforted Wei Zhen with kind words, and at the same time motioned with his eyes to the head catcher in the yamen to go forward to check Wei Tong's body.

There are many human life cases handled by the head catcher, and he has a lot of experience in autopsy, so he quickly came to the conclusion, "It was poisoned, and the specific poison is unknown." ”

Zhang Wei's face was solemn, looking at Wei Tong, who was already cold, and his heart was in a mess. This kind of case of an official eunuch has always been handled by bad people, but how could Wei Zhen let the county government handle it this time. Could it be that who is involved in this matter? Thinking of this, Zhang Wei arched his hand towards Wei Zhen and said, "I don't know what Wei Gongzi eats?" ”

Wei Zhen looked at a few maids not far away and snorted coldly.

Several maids hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly, "Last night, the son went out to a banquet, and when he came back, he was very drunk, so he only let the kitchen make a bowl of sobering soup. ”

Hearing this, the catcher asked one of the catchers to check in the kitchen to see if he could find any clues about the decanting soup. Soon, he returned from the kitchen and said to Zhang Wei, "I checked the utensils that made the decanting soup last night, and it was fine. There was no sign of poisoning in the bowl containing the decanter soup. ”

The head catcher stroked his chin back and forth, and then asked Wei Zhen, "Who did Wei Tong go to last night?" ”

"Cao Shuang's and Li Jue's." Wei Zhen said very firmly, his face was much gloomy again.

Everything understands why Wei Zhen chose Xuchang County Ya instead of a bad person. It turned out that this case involved bad people, and they all knew what kind of relationship Cao Shuang had with bad people.

"It's just that Cao Shuang's son has nothing to do with Tong'er, but this Li Jue." Wei Zhen sighed, and then hugged his fist towards Zhang Wei and said, "Everything is a certain guess, my son's death is unknown, and I still hope that Zhang County will be the master!" ”

Come on, it's a tough one. Wei Zhen linked the murderer of this case with Li Jue in one sentence. What is the relationship between Cao Shuang and Cao Fu Bayou, how could he not let Li Jue go. Zhang Wei had a dilemma, dealing with Li Jue and offending Cao Shuang; If you don't do Li Jue, you will definitely offend Wei Zhen. Neither of these two ends can be provoked by a small county order of his. If you want to blame yourself, you can blame yourself for your bad luck, and the seemingly beautiful Xuchang County Order, only you know the bitterness in your heart.

After a long time, Zhang Wei made a choice, after all, human life is at stake, and this case has to be handled. If it really doesn't work, you have to report it. Zhang Wei left the Wei Mansion with the capture and went straight to the Cao Mansion.

Seeing Li Jue being taken away, Yuan Lie and the others were very worried. Originally, everyone thought that this matter was over, but with the end of last night's banquet, who knew that Wei Tong would die at home this morning. Cao Shuang frowned, standing in front of the window and recalling last night's scene. Zhang Wei made it very clear when he left, Wei Zhen suspected that Li Jue had a grudge, so he poisoned Wei Tong, and it had nothing to do with Cao Shuang. Cao Shuang knew very well in his heart that the best solution to this matter was to abandon the car and protect the handsome. It's just that doing that, Cao Shuang can't help it, and it will also chill the hearts of the brothers outside.

Yuan Lie and others stood in the courtyard, waiting for Cao Shuang in the house. Yuan Lie looked at the resourceful third Yang Shen, only to see that Yang Shen was also looking at him, shaking his head helplessly. Yuan Lie and Yang Shen both thought of what was the best way to solve this matter, but then Li Jue would definitely die.

When the seven of them were meditating, the door suddenly opened, and Cao Shuang walked out of it, his face a little more tired. Looking at Yuan Lie with a sad face, Cao Shuang smiled, "What's the matter?" This thing is wilting, what will I do in the future? ”

Seeing Cao Shuang and Cao Shuang so relaxed, several people also had smiles on their faces, and they also had confidence in their hearts. At Cao Shuang's suggestion, several people left Cao Shuang's courtyard one after another and went out to inquire about the news to see if they could help Li Jue.

"Let's go to the bad house!" Cao Shuang had a straight face and set off with Yuan Lie towards the bad mansion.

On the way, Yuan Lie wanted to speak, but was blocked by Cao Shuang, "Don't say anything, I will definitely save Lao Qi." If it was to persuade me to give up saving him, it would be needless to say. ”

Yuan Lie nodded and followed behind Cao Shuang without saying anything. At this moment, his heart was full of emotion, Cao Shuang brought them together to let them play and read with him, but Cao Shuang has always treated them as brothers for so many years, and has never treated them as subordinates.

After entering the bad mansion, I first passed through the Nanya, and happened to meet Guo Ai who was about to go out here. Seeing Cao Shuang coming, Guo Ai hurriedly greeted him, and just wanted to salute, he was supported by Cao Shuang, "You are a bad person Guo Shuai, I am just a white cloth, don't mess with the rules." ”

As he spoke, Cao Shuang took two steps back and saluted Guo Ai, "Guo Shuai, be polite." ”

Guo Ai was a little embarrassed, but he had developed a cheeky face over the years, and he smiled slightly and arched his hand, "Childe is polite!" ”

The two passed by like this, saying nothing. A sneaky bad guy walked towards Beiya, and all this was seen by Cao Shuang.

From the moment Cao Shuang stepped into the Beiya, Qi Fei came out with a group of unscrupulous officials, and saluted in unison, "Participate in the son!" The voices of these people were loud, and their eyes drifted to Nanya from time to time, which made the bad people in Nanya very unhappy, and these people in Beiya were clearly provocative.

"Qi Shuai is polite." Cao Shuang smiled slightly and bowed back.

Qi Fei and other bad people made way for Cao Shuang and asked Cao Shuang to enter the lobby. After taking a seat, Cao Shuang smiled and said, "Qi Shuai has a good way of governance!" ”

Cao Shuang had something to say, why couldn't Qi Fei hear it, he smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, thank you for the compliment." ”

"I've heard about the same case." Cao Shuang no longer talked nonsense with Qi Fei, and went straight to the point. Cao Shuang didn't expect that Qi Fei, who was once upright, would now become so thick-skinned. He just forgot that those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to Zhu are red.

"I sent someone to see it, and I died of poisoning, and I couldn't find out what kind of poison it was." Qi Fei returned to Cao Shuang's question seriously. Zhang Wei had come to him a long time ago, hoping that bad people could help. This case involved Cao Shuang, and it was within the jurisdiction, so Qi Fei sent someone to take a look. I heard that Wei Tong was poisoned, so Qi Fei sent a master of poisoning, but he also didn't have any clue.

Cao Shuang nodded in disappointment, intuition The temples on both sides of his head were swollen, and his eye sockets were very painful.

Out of the bad mansion, Cao Shuang looked at the clouds in the sky, he knew that this matter was difficult. Wei Tong had dinner with Cao Shuang and Li Jue before his death, and he died of poison after the meal, and Li Jue also had a conflict with Wei Tong, so it is inevitable that Li Jue and Wei Tong's deaths will be linked.

"Let's go, go see Lao Qi and verify some things." Cao Shuang sighed and walked slowly.

Regarding Li Jue's character, Cao Shuang is very clear. Sex is as fierce as fire, and jealousy is like hatred. If he really wanted to kill Wei Tong, he would never disdain to poison him, but would choose to face to face. But Cao Shuang must verify whether he was poisoned or not, after all, impulse is the devil.
