"Your Excellency, something is wrong! Zheng Heihu is dead! ”

At this time, the people who could run out to report to Cai Dao were naturally Wang Er and Ma Liu, the two unlucky ghosts, but fortunately they didn't look at Zheng Heihu this time, otherwise they would really not be able to turn over.

"What's going on? Did you die of illness? Cai Dao got out of the carriage and asked hurriedly.

Ma Liu was young in the end, with flexible legs and feet, and ran to Cai Dao in front of him first, and said: "Lord Chief, we have also heard from the officials who are familiar with this matter, and the specific details are not clear. ”

Cai Dao frowned after hearing this, there was not much difference between what Ma Liu said and what he didn't say.

"Lord Steward, although I haven't seen Zheng Heihu's corpse either, just now, Liu Tongju suddenly ordered the news to be sealed. If Zheng Heihu was just sick and dying, there was no need for him to do so. As far as I guess, Zheng Heihu died suddenly in his cell for some reason. Wang Er came from behind, saw Cai Dao's face, and told his guess.

After Cai Dao listened, his brows furrowed even deeper.

In the raid that night, due to Cai Dao's proper strategy, he prepared several trawls in advance, and they also relied on this to pay a small price and easily take down the evil tiger Zheng Heihu.

Zheng Heihu's injuries, of course, also have their own credit, that is, he and Cai Ban's two iron slingshots shattered the knee of his right leg and the wrist of his right arm, making Zheng Heihu completely lose the ability to resist, and the other injuries were cut off by the orphan adopted by Cai Dao.

At that time, Cai Dao asked Lang Zhong to check with the team, and Zheng Heihu's injury was not fatal, and even there was not much blood left.

Zheng Heihu vomited blood in the lobby just now, so he wouldn't be so angry with himself. It sounds fantastical, but this possibility can't be ruled out, after all, this guy is not a good person, and narrowness is also a common problem for this kind of person.

However, as Wang Er said, if Zheng Heihu died of illness or was angry, there was no need to cover up the news in that sentence!

"My deputy manager, what's going on? It's been this hour, and Liu Tongju still has a court? Cai Dao didn't need to look back, he knew who was talking - Zhao Maid, the king of Yan'an County.

Cai Dao turned around and glanced at it, suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly reported to Zhao Yuyu: "Your Highness, these two officials reported to me that Zheng Heihu died suddenly, but Liu Tongju was actually ready to cover up the news. If Zheng Heihu died of illness, Liu Tongju would not have done so at all. Therefore, Poor Dao boldly guessed that during this time at noon, was there something going on in Kaifeng Mansion, and Liu Tong would not be planning to destroy the corpse, right? ”

"You two are telling the truth!" Although Zhao Maid was small, he was not stupid, of course he couldn't fully believe Cai Dao's words, so he asked these two officials.

"Your Highness, what the two of us said is true." Wang Er and Ma Liuyi saw that it was the king of Yan'an County who asked questions, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down, Wang Er was relatively calm, and he continued: "Your Highness, if Zheng Heihu is not dead, why hasn't Liu Tongju been promoted to the court to try the case until now?" ”

Zhao Maid was anxious, but having said that, he couldn't just lead someone to break in, just now when he was eating, Dean had tactfully admonished him, and his words and deeds in the lobby today were a little arrogant. If he thinks about it himself, it is.

After thinking about it, it was useless to be in a hurry, so he asked Di An beside him: "Guard Di, although it is not good for Lone to send someone in to investigate, now that the incident happened suddenly, I am afraid it is inappropriate to ignore it like this." Lone remembers that when he left the palace, didn't his father say that he would send someone to keep an eye on him, what about people? ”

"Your Highness, the official family said that those people must be people from the Imperial City Division. We don't know them. "Those mice in the secret, Dean can only say that he doesn't recognize them.

Zhao Maid was a little angry, you are a little guard who taught yourself the truth, for the sake of what you said, and you are Di Qing's descendant, Lone gave you this face. He wanted to see if Dean had any good solutions at this critical moment: "Then do you have any good solutions?" ”

"Your Highness, now there are only two ways, one is to send someone to ride a fast horse into the palace to report this matter to the official family, and ask for the will to seal Zheng Heihu's body; Otherwise, he could only send someone to Bianliang City to find Yin Caijing, and only when he came back could he investigate this matter justifiably. Dean casually said both methods.

Cai Dao shook his head secretly while listening, Di'an's two methods are not unsafe, but when it comes to this matter, it is still too slow and too safe.

How long can it take to destroy a corpse. Judging from Liu Tongju's performance in the lobby in the morning, he is an unusually decisive person, and once he makes up his mind to do something, he will definitely not leave any traces.

Moreover, in this matter, in addition to Wang Er and Ma Liu, the officials and errands in the entire Kaifeng Mansion Yamen will definitely stand on the same front as Liu Tongju. The reason is very simple, because Zheng Heihu was under their supervision, and once he was asked, it was not Liu Tong who was unlucky. Now, destroy Zheng Heihu's corpse, and then report his emergency death to the top.

They could completely say that Zheng Heihu was a suspected case of the plague, and of course the body should be burned immediately.

At that time, even if Song Shenzong personally asked the guilt, it would be nothing better!

In fact, Cai Dao also knows that there is a way, how to find an official in charge of the supervision at this time, and he has the right to go in to investigate this matter, such as officials such as Yushi, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Shilang of the Criminal Department.

But the problem is, this is Kaifeng Mansion, and those officials will definitely not hang out here if they have nothing to do, where can they find officials of this grade?

Just when Cai Dao was entangled, his nobleman appeared.

"Doll, what are you discussing here, what time is this, isn't Kaifeng Mansion going to open a court to try the case in the afternoon?"

Cai Dao followed the sound and saw that it was the old man Sun Jue, and he was a little surprised in his heart, thinking that the old man Sun was no longer working in the yamen at this time, and what was he doing in Kaifeng Mansion. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Sun, hello! How did you get here? ”

Cai Dao naturally cares about this old-timer who cares about him a lot, and he has inquired about what Sun Jue's official position is now. The secretary and supervisor, from the official of the fourth grade, the official position is not high, but he is very close to Song Shenzong. The old man worked hard in the local area for the first half of his life, but he has never been able to become the prime minister, of course, this is not unrelated to the fact that he has always opposed Wang Anshi's changes.

For this reason, Zhao Jian naturally didn't like Sun Jue, he just saluted Sun Jue lightly and didn't say a word.

"Hehe, the old man is naturally here for you? What's the situation, what is the situation in Kaifeng Mansion? Hearing Cai Dao's affectionate name, Old Man Sun accepted it calmly, after all, he and Wang Anshi were friends many years ago, and asked with a smile.

Cai Dao, in line with the idea that a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, roughly told the matter and his own guesses, for fear that his words would not be convincing, and asked Wang Er and Ma Liu to repeat what they had seen and heard.

After listening to this, Old Man Sun's face suddenly became serious, if you really want this kid to say that, this matter is not trivial.

"Let's go, you kid and His Highness go in with the old man and have a look!" After Sun Jue finished speaking, he was about to walk inside.

Cai Dao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Jue's sleeve and stopped: "Grandpa Sun, I'm afraid this is not appropriate!" After all, your official position is not right! ”

"Hehe, doll, don't worry. The official didn't do anything when he went in, let alone go to Xingshi to ask for guilt. Now, since there is a dead person in his Kaifeng Mansion, does Liu Mo dare not let the old man in to take a look? After speaking, Sun Jue took Cai Dao's little arm and walked in.

"That's right!" As soon as Zhao Maid heard this, he patted his thigh excitedly, to put it this way, Zhao Maid's identity is more suitable than Sun Jue.

As soon as everyone entered Kaifeng Mansion, they did not go to the lobby, but directly led by Ma Liu and Wang Er to go straight to the West Prison of the Mansion, where the prisoner was temporarily detained.

Without further ado, they came to their destination. I saw that more than a dozen officials were busy piling up firewood in a small open space, and there was a stretcher next to it, on which lay a big man, who was covered with a rag cloth and could not see his face clearly.

Ma Liu hurriedly stepped forward and leaned over to uncover the piece of rotten cloth, and sure enough, it was Zheng Heihu. Now it should be called Zheng Deadhu.

When the dozen or so officials saw Ma Liu's movements, they knew that something bad was going to happen, so they hurriedly made a color to each other, and divided two people to deal with Ma Liu, and the remaining two people hurriedly ran to the two ends of Zheng Heihu's corpse, and it seemed that they immediately moved his body to the firewood pile. The rest of the people stepped forward to stop Sun Jue and them.

"Daring, what are you doing here? This official is here on the emperor's orders this time, but I want to see which of you dares to make a mistake. "In this era, there will be no sword above the legend of Bao Qingtian, and in Sun Jue's hand is the royal flag given by Song Shenzong, such as I came in person.

Seeing that his subordinates were all suppressed by Sun Jue, Liu Mian suddenly appeared out of nowhere, urging his subordinates while blocking Sun Jue and them: "Old man Sun, you are just a secretary and supervisor, why do you dare to care about the affairs of my Kaifeng Mansion." If this person has a plague, even if the official family is again, the official must burn him immediately, otherwise, if the plague is raging, you will not be able to bear this responsibility. What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up! ”

"He can't afford it, that lonely can ......" As soon as Zhao Miao's words heard Liu Miao's words, he only felt that the blood was gushing up, and he was ready to come out.

Unexpectedly, he was covered by Cai Dao, blocking what he was going to say later, little ancestor, do you really dare to say anything?

Things are often good and bad, even if everyone knows in their hearts that Zheng Heihu is not infected with the plague.

However, Cai Dao and Sun Jue can say this, Zhao Maid can't say it, in case there is a plague in Bianliang City for other reasons, it is very likely to affect Zhao Maid's future succession.

Dean glanced at Cai Dao gratefully, and said in his heart that this kid is really clever! In order to thank Cai Dao for this action, he also stood up and said: "Liu Tongju, whether Zheng Heihu died of the plague or not must be investigated by professional people before he can be counted." You've talked to yourself enough times today. ”

Liu Mian glanced at Dean disdainfully: "Hmph! Even if you are a martial artist, do you dare to stop this official from doing things? ”

"You ......" Dean was choked by Liu Miao's words, but he was helpless, who let the military generals have no human rights in the Great Song Dynasty?

"He can't do it, it's always okay for the official to come forward!" Key people always appear at critical times, and Cai Jing suddenly appeared in Fusi West Prison at this time.

After saying this, he didn't pay attention to Liu Miao, but ordered: "Come here, pass on the autopsy." ”

Soon, he cowered and came to the Fusi West Prison, in fact, he had already experienced the corpse once, so he naturally knew the details. Fortunately, Liu Mian hesitated at that time, and he was busy destroying the corpse just now, so he didn't let him fill in the corpse grid. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain even if he had ten mouths of evidence on paper.

After seriously examining Zheng Heihu's body, and after confirming it again, he reported to everyone: "Back to all the adults, after a small examination, Zheng Heihu was poisoned to death, and with Xiao's many years of experience, this poison should be arsenic." ”

"Hmmm! Once you've filled out the corpse compartment, you're ready to go down. After listening to the testimony he made, Cai Jing had no anger or joy on his face, said lightly, and then ordered: "Come here, take care of all the officials who are guarding Zheng Heihu at noon." Sun Jian Si and Liu Tongju, let's enter the palace immediately! ”

At this moment, Liu Mian had collapsed to the ground like mud, and if he couldn't still hear the panting, he would have thought he was a dead man.

As soon as Zhao Maid saw him like this, he laughed shamefully, and ordered the two guards to step forward and pull him up, preparing to follow Cai Jing back to the palace.

Everyone left, and Cai Dao naturally left Kaifeng Mansion.

Just now, Wang Er and Ma Liu's voice was too loud, and the people who wanted to see the excitement in the afternoon also knew the news, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. However, the people at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion were scattered.

Cai Dao didn't know how Cai Jing got the news and rushed back, and he didn't want to delve into this matter now. Now, he only knows one thing, and that is that this case has reached this point, and it has gone beyond the scope of influence of the case itself, and everything has nothing to do with him.

didn't even lead to another foreshadowing buried by Cai Dao, and this case is so understood. The master behind Zheng Heihu, although he adopted Tongtian, but he was a little unscrupulous, which attracted the attention of Song Shenzong, presumably for a long time, he or they didn't care about blatantly coming to find trouble for themselves.

Of course, there is another great event.

Cai Dao's second main quest has completed another small step, and he can put the plan into action when Zheng Xia, a big fish, enters Beijing.

This small step refers to Liu Milling.

In fact, when he saw Liu Mian for the first time, Cai Dao learned from the system that this judge was actually an official of the Fuqing department. Now, he has invisibly killed another official of the Fuqing department.

I don't know when Zheng Xia will be able to return to Beijing, after learning that his juniors were killed by a doll in less than half a month, Cai Dao really wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of expression would appear on his face.

With a happy mood, lying in the middle of the carriage, Cai Dao and his party slowly drove along the royal street towards the direction of the nursery school.

No one thought that this royal street almost became Cai Dao's burial place
