Chapter 277: Incisive Words
Shi Min suddenly reacted and said, "Your Majesty, do you still want me to be the commander of the patrol battalion?" ”
"There is no one to replace you for the time being, so naturally you are here!" Shi Hu glared at Shi Min. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Not ......"
At this time, Lu An came to report: "Your Majesty, the commander of Wenda is back!" ”
Shi Hu asked, "What about people! ”
"Men are waiting outside the temple."
"Xuan!"
"Yes!"
A moment later, Wen Cang walked in with an old man who was close to the age of sixtieth birthday and had gray hair. As soon as he entered the main hall, the old man seemed to be very nervous, he didn't take a few steps, his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground and shouted: "The villain greets Your Majesty!" ”
"Step forward! I can't see clearly. Shi Hu slowly got up and instructed the old man.
The man hurriedly got up and walked forward for more than a dozen steps, but was stopped by Wen Cang with his raised hand and said, "Just kneel here." ”
The old man nodded and knelt respectfully on the ground.
"I heard that you have been working in Dali Temple for nearly forty years? Have you also examined Guo Yue's body in the patrol camp? ”
The old man nodded respectfully and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the villain Hu Fu has been on an errand in Dali Temple for more than thirty-six years. The body of the deputy commander of the patrol battalion, when it was sent left and right when the ugly time, the villain looked at it carefully. ”
"Why is the situation you recorded different from the record submitted by Xiao Li, the supervisor of Dali Temple?"
"In this autopsy, the villain did not directly participate, but just kept working on the side, as for why Lord Xiao came to a different conclusion from the villain, there is no way to know......"
"Guo Yue's severed limb has traces of repeated slashing, you said that it was caused by the murderer's knife skills and arm strength, but Xiao Li said that the traces of repeated slashing were most likely deliberately done by the master of the knife, in order to cover himself, what do you think of this statement?"
Hu Fu hesitated a little and said, "Uh...... The villain didn't dare to say ......"
Shi Hu slapped the table violently and scolded: "Bold! In front of me, I dare to speak! ”
"The villain doesn't dare to ......"
Seeing Hu Fu's timid and frightened appearance, Shi Min understood something, so he muttered a few words to Shi Hu in a low voice. Shi Hu suddenly realized, cleared his throat, and said, "Don't worry, say it boldly!" I'll keep your family safe! ”
As soon as Hu Fu heard Shi Hu give such a promise, he hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "Villain, thank Your Majesty for your great kindness!" ”
Hu Fu straightened up and said slowly: "The villain took a closer look at Guo Yue's body on the side, according to the villain's judgment, Guo Yue's fatal wound was the knife in the neck, and this knife was cut down by Guo Yue without defense. In addition, if the knife edge of the limbs is rough and the knife is sharp, even if the knife is deliberately concealed, it will not be able to achieve that the knife does not fall in the same position, resulting in the flesh and bone at the incision being eroded, because when the knife is released, the force and the position of the knife will be difficult to deliberately conceal due to the instinct of the person who uses the knife. His Majesty and Min Gongzi are both martial arts practitioners, and their comprehension of swordsmanship must be more refined than that of villains, and such a rough wound is definitely not left by a master with a knife. ”
"How do you know that the knife on Guo Yue's neck was cut when he was unprepared?" Shi Hu was a little puzzled.
"Back to Your Majesty, Guo Yue's body has the wounds left by the cane, and those who have been tortured with canes must not be able to lie down, but can only lie on the bed. The angle and position of the knife are exactly the direction from the back of the head to the throat, so it can be judged that when Guo Yue was cut, he was still lying on the bed with his head down. If Guo Yue knew that the other party was going to kill him, then even if Guo Yue was injured, it would be impossible for him not to struggle, but if Guo Yue struggled a little, it would be impossible to leave such a knife edge, and it should be more reasonable to cut off from both sides of his neck. ”
Hu Fu's analysis made Shi Hu and Shi Min impressed by this old man, and all the evidence was here in Hu Fu, and the most reasonable explanation was obtained.
"Xiao Min, is the situation he described consistent with what you saw?" Shi Hu asked.
Shi Min nodded.
"Your Majesty, you can take a look at the file submitted by Lord Xiao, the description of Guo Yue's death should be consistent with what the villain said, but the conclusion is different."
Shi Hu hurriedly flipped through the file submitted by Xiao Li, and in the beginning part, the record of Guo Yue's death was really consistent with what Hu Fu said.
"I can't imagine that the little Dali Temple Supervisor has a talent like you." Shi Hu couldn't help but praise.
Hu Fu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Villain, thank Your Majesty for your compliment!" ”
"Then according to you, will it be the Min Gongzi or his subordinates who killed Guo Yue in front of him?" Shi Hu asked deliberately.
Hu Fu replied without hesitation: "No! ”
Shi Hu glanced at Shi Min and said to Hu Fu, "Are you cowardly and dare not tell the truth?" ”
Hu Fu put his forehead on the ground and said: "It's not that the villain doesn't dare to tell the truth, but the villain thinks that it won't be Min Gongzi or his subordinates." ”
"Why?"
"The villain thinks that the fatal wound on Guo Yue's neck was a sudden attack by the perpetrator when Guo Yue was defenseless, so it won't be Min Gongzi or his subordinates, unless ......"
"Unless what?" Shi Hu asked.
"Unless the perpetrator and Guo Yue have known each other for a long time, and Guo Yue is unsuspecting, it will be difficult to say......"
When Shi Hu heard this, Hu Fu already roughly understood what he meant, so he shouted: "Hu Fu." ”
"The villain is here!"
"You are worthy of being a Lingshi for so many years, and you are very insightful in analyzing problems, I think what you said is very reasonable, let's say, what reward do you want?"
Hu Fu hurriedly replied: "The villain doesn't need any reward!" ”
"Don't give a reward? Then I will give you an official and a knight! ”
"The villain is not rewarded for nothing, Your Majesty's grace, the villain does not dare to accept it." Hu Fu said, kowtowing solemnly.
Facing Hu Fu, who didn't want fame and fortune, Shi Hu felt a little strange, and said with a smile: "Everyone else dreams every day that I want me to add him to the rank of knight and give him gold and silver, but you don't want anything, it's really strange!" ”
"The villain said these things just because the villain did this business for a living. This person is already dead, and if the truth about the cause of death is not revealed to the world, I am afraid that the dead will not be able to be at peace under the Nine Springs! ”
"You've impressed me! But since I said that I will reward you, you can't take it back if you don't joke, right? ”
Hu Fu was stunned for a moment, kowtowed again and said: "If Your Majesty really wants to reward, the villain doesn't want gold and silver, and he doesn't want to add officials to the knighthood, just let the villain's family leave Yecheng safely, so it's fine." ”
When Shi Hu heard Hu Fu's request, he became even more puzzled, and asked, "Leave Yecheng?" How? Stay in Yecheng to eat and drink, don't want to? ”
"The villain's words today are quick for a while, but they offend the powerful. The villain's family is cheap, like ants, staying in Yecheng, I am afraid that it will be even more impossible to live in peace, so the villain begs His Majesty to allow the villain to take the family and leave Yecheng quietly, and the villain only wants to be safe. ”
Hu Fu's plea surprised Shi Hu, he didn't expect that the person in front of him with a mediocre appearance and shabby clothes would be so different.
"Lu An!"
Lu An hurriedly stepped forward: "The slave is here!" ”
"Send someone immediately to take Hu Fu's family to settle outside the city."
"Slaves obey!"
"And! Go to the inner mansion to get some silver taels and send him out of the palace! Reunite him with his little family! ”
"Yes!"
When Hu Fu heard Shi Hu's arrangement, he immediately burst into tears of gratitude, kowtowed again and again, and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! ”
Shi Hu waved his hand at Lu An, and Lu An retreated with Hu Fu in a playful manner.
Seeing Hu Fu's departure, Shi Min's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, he looked back at Shi Hu, and before he could speak, Shi Hu ordered: "You go back for the time being, I will send someone to investigate the matter of the patrol camp in detail!" ”
Shi Min originally thought that Shi Hu would discuss something with him, but when he heard Shi Hu send him away, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Grandson retire!" ”
