Chapter Sixty-Nine: Lord Goshi
Li Bao found something strange on the slate, and after wiping it with a handkerchief, he found blood stains, which still smelled of medicine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He held up his handkerchief and said to Zheng Yun: "Brother, if my brother is not bad, this strange thing has a great relationship with the murder that happened in Hangzhou County!" ”
Zheng Yun was excited, if it was really as his brother said, then the case would be solved just around the corner. This means that my brother's life has been saved, and his future has also been settled! He asked Li Bao: "Big brother! What do we do next! ”
Li Bao folded the handkerchief, carefully put it into the deerskin bag, and said, "Go back to Xuanzhen, and find those two officials to understand clearly!" ”
Zheng Yun said: "Okay! ”
The two got on the horse, and as soon as they walked to the main road, they saw Hou Fu and Zhao Cai running over sweating profusely.
Li Bao reined in his horse and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Hou Fu gasped and said, "We are worried that you will not have enough manpower, so we will come to help..."
Li Bao jumped off the horse, hugged his hands and thanked him: "Hard work two, I am also just about to look for you." ”
Hou Fu said: "I don't know Lord Li, what are your orders?" ”
Li Bao said bluntly: "I won't say much kind words, to be honest, this head matter may have a lot to do with the Hangzhou murder case!" Please also ask the two brothers to recount what just happened carefully, the more detailed the better! ”
When Hou Fu and Zhao Cai heard this, their eyes also lit up! Hurry up and recount the story.
Yesterday, the two of them drank and gambled at a friend's house. It wasn't until the morning that he was clean and clean, and then he got up and went to duty.
When I went out, I saw Aunt Jia and others running into the West City Gate with their hair and color. When this group of people saw the official errand, it was as if they had seen the backbone of the main body, surrounded them, and talked about what had just happened.
The two of them didn't sleep all night, and they were noisy by everyone, and when they heard the word "head", they suddenly became energetic!
At that time, although the servants were tolerant, they were pitifully few, and they were not enough to feed the family. As a result, in the process of handling cases, they will accept bribes and make a lot of gray income. For example, if people are detained, if they want to be less tortured, they have to give "foot and shoe money" and "wine and meal money"; If the detainee does not want to be sent to the government for the time being, he or she has to give "grace money" and "buy and lend money"; It was even said that the plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit, and both sides of the court gave the arrest a quick "peace money". If there is a guy who doesn't open his eyes, then the sin of the person concerned is inevitable.
There is money when there is a case, and there is a big case before there is a big money! Lives lawsuit! What a fat pig arch! They didn't care about being on duty, so they went straight to the cemetery with the others.
On the way, I learned about the case from everyone, and only then did I know the passage of the madman blocking the road and shouting 'human head', as well as the passage of the sudden appearance of human head in front of Jialiu's grave.
Later, it was the two of them who saw the human head.
Li Bao lowered his head and thought about it, thinking in his heart that this madman might know something, so he asked, "Two, do you know where he came from?" ”
Zhao Cai said: "This madman has appeared for a while, but I don't know where he came from. It disappeared a while ago, thinking it was running away or dead, but now it suddenly reappeared. But I don't know where I am now. ”
Hou Fu said: "Also, I often hear people say that this madman is a little weird, but he has never seen it. ”
Li Bao nodded, thinking in his heart, now that there are five days before the deadline for solving the case, such a big clue should be reported to the adults first. This is seventy miles to Hangzhou, if you hurry up, you can arrive at night. I want to report the news quickly, and as for the investigation of the case, I can only ask my brother and the two officials.
Li Bao arched his hand and said to Zheng Yun: "Brother, now that the deadline is approaching, the Governor's Mansion has been in chaos, I have to bring this news back immediately, if it is too late, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed." ”
Zheng Yun said: "Brother will go by himself!" ”
Li Bao patted him on the shoulder, took out two treasure bills from his waist, and handed them to Hou Fu and Zhao Cai respectively: "There is not much money here, just treat it as the hard money of the two of you, and bother the two of you to help my brother investigate the case, if you find the whereabouts of that madman, you must be locked up!" ”
Hou Fu and Zhao Cai got the money, and scratched their ears and cheeks with joy, glad that this trip was not in vain. The two patted their chests and promised that they would investigate the case well.
Li Bao said to Zheng Yun: "My own brother, I won't be polite to you." He said and gave him a color.
Zheng Yun understood and nodded. Last night, Li Bao had already told him that the governor's office issued an official document, and those who can solve the case will be promoted to two levels; Those who provide clues will be rewarded with 100 taels of treasure money. Li Bao is righteous, so naturally he will not swallow the bounty alone, compared to the bounty, what is this little money? What's more, Li Bao also promised to give him a good future!
Zheng Yun said: "My own brother, what are you polite!" It's important for my brother to deliver the letter quickly! ”
Li Bao and the three of them said goodbye, flew on their horses, and went straight to the Hangzhou Governor's Mansion! I didn't dare to stop for a moment along the way, only rested a little while changing horses, and finally rushed back to the governor's mansion at the next hour.
In the living room of the Governor's Mansion, Hangzhou Lu Daru Huachi Amu Gulang was sitting with a young man who was less than thirty years old.
The young man was a burly man, with a hairstyle combed on his head, big ears, and a beard with sideburns, like a lion. He wore a red brocade braid robe, which shone brightly in the light of candlelight; On his feet, he wore a pair of colorful satin boots, which were rich and luxurious. It looks extremely powerful, but the action of holding a cup of tea is extremely elegant.
Behind the young man stood two monks, one monk and one monk.
The Taoist priest is not very old, that is, in his early twenties, wearing a cyan Taoist robe neatly and neatly, with a golden crown and bundled hair, phoenix eyes and eyebrows, and a spring breeze on his face, very chic.
The monk was a burly lama, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with an angry face and angry eyes, and a huge demon-slaying pestle in his hand.
The young man in the Chinese costume was much younger than Amu Gulang, but he sat on the main seat, while Amu Gulang sat respectfully on the side.
The housekeeper hurriedly ran in, saluted, and said to Amu Gulang, "My lord, Li Bao has come back and made an important discovery. ”
Amu Gulang was in a hurry, and when he heard that there was a major discovery, he reprimanded: "Then what else to report, hurry up and let him in!" ”
Li Bao walked into the hall and bowed to the young man in Chinese clothes and Amu Gulang: "See Lord Yushi, my lord." ”
The young man in Chinese costume nodded very elegantly and returned the salute with a smile.
Amu Gulang glared at him: "What did you find?" Hurry up! ”
Li Bao told everything he saw and heard in Xuanzhen, but he didn't say that he found it by accident, but said that these news were all information obtained through his own visits and careful verification.
"I went to the cemetery to investigate, and although I didn't find a human head, I found blood on the stone platform. In this series of events, the madman is very suspicious, and at the same time, the experience of the woman and the two officials is really incredible, maybe it is a trick, maybe it is a strange technique, but no matter which one it is, the black hand behind it must have an ulterior motive! After Li Bao finished his statement, he also told his analysis of the case. He had already inquired that the Lord Yushi in front of him was the nephew of Prime Minister Chengyou, and sooner or later he would be reused, so he boldly analyzed, hoping to be appreciated by Lord Yushi.
Amu Gulang didn't know what the meaning of Li Bao said so much, so he asked bluntly: "That is, I didn't see the head?" ”
Li Bao hesitated: "It's an adult!" ”
Amu Gulang slapped the table: "Then what's the use of you talking so much!" ”
"Lord Amukoro." Doctor Goshi stopped him.
Amu Gulang hurriedly changed his face: "Yes, what do you command?" ”
Yushi said: "If you don't go to celebrate your father, you will be in trouble." What is the use of not seeing the root cause of the trouble, but only finding the head? ”
Amu Gulang didn't understand his words, but he roughly knew that Lord Goshi was blaming himself, so he casually responded: "Yes, my lord." ”
Yushi asked Li Bao: "Li Bao, where is the handkerchief?" ”
Li Bao took out the deerskin cover from his arms and presented it forward with both hands.
The little Taoist priest reached out and took the deerskin case, opened it, looked at it, and sniffed it again. He said to Yushi: "My lord, it is indeed bloodstains. This taste is the secret medicine of preservatives on the rivers and lakes. ”
Yushi nodded and continued to ask Li Bao: "What do you think the murderer's ulterior purpose will be?" ”
Li Bao already had a plan in his heart, so he said: "My subordinates think that these people dare to assassinate important members of the imperial court, and they do things like gods and ghosts, I am afraid that they are related to traitors!" ”
Amu Guro was taken aback.
Lord Yushi smiled slightly and nodded in praise: "Very good!" Very good! He waved his hand and said to Li Bao: "Go down!" ”
Li Bao bowed and saluted: "Retire from your humble position." ”
Amu Gulang asked, "My lord, is it... Is it really rebellious? ”
Mishi took out a note from his bosom, handed it to him, and motioned to open it for a look.
Amu Gulang looked at it and frowned.
Lord Yushi said calmly: "My uncle has received a secret report that the two major protectors of the Maitreya Sect have sneaked into Hangzhou Road and want to do something wrong. That's why I was sent to investigate the headless case in the name of investigating the headless case, to investigate the rebellion, and once discovered, don't mess with it! ”
