Chapter 605: The Murderer

Chang'an City was completely crazy, and the sweat on the heads of Zhi Jinwu and Tingwei Cheng had not been done, and even Jingzhao Yin Jidian was a little frightened. Since the Han Dynasty established the capital of Chang'an, nothing so serious has ever happened. First of all, there was such a big thing in the Su Mansion, and then the manor of Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan County, caught fire inexplicably, and all this has not been sorted out clearly, and there have been murder cases one after another.

The first dead man was Yexianglang Wang Er, when the people of the entire Chang'an City opened the door in the morning and couldn't wait for Wang Er with a painful urination potty, someone was finally in a hurry. traced the streets and places that Wang Er frequented, and soon found Wang Er drowned in a dung bucket. When Wang Er, who was covered in feces and urine, was fished up from the dung bucket with a big hook, the whole person was already soaked, and the stinking onlookers retreated one after another.

No one knows how Wang Er died and why he died in a dung bucket. He carefully examined Wang Er's body and determined that it was drowned, with no external injuries, and the internal organs were intact. Who killed Wang Er? Why did you kill Wang Er? The princes of the Tingwei Mansion and Jing Zhaoyin couldn't guess.

The second dead man was the vegetable seller on the persimmon street in the morning, who begged the old man, and he died more strangely than Wang Er. The old man is a widower, he lives by selling vegetables on weekdays, and he is also a good person who speaks kindly, and has never had a grudge against anyone, but even he is dead. He actually died on the belly of the widow Qian, which made the jaws of all those who knew the old man drop their jaws.

The third deceased was a low-level official subordinate to Jing Zhaoyin. No one had an impression of this petty official. Because he never deals with people, the things assigned to him are completed on time, and when he has nothing to do, he stays in Jing Zhaoyin and goes home on the days of rest. A family of three lived a stable and ordinary life, not bullying neighbors, and not causing trouble, but such a person was killed.

The fourth dead man has some origins, the proprietress of the East City Rouge Workshop. It is said that she is a romantic fellow, and many men have visited her bed. Because of this, the business of the rouge shop is very good, whether it is the big girl or the little daughter-in-law, she always likes to go to her store to buy rouge, and she also hopes to make the men in the world like him.

The fifth dead man, to everyone's surprise, turned out to be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. And the death is the most ugly, not only was his hands and feet chopped off, but his eyes were gouged out. When they saw this child, they all went out and retched for a while, making the scene stinky and unbearable. No one knows what the child's real name is, and he usually lives with his blind mother, who is also well-behaved and capable, and actually supports his mother at a young age.

The sixth dead man was a farmer, because he lived outside the city, and was only found the next day. Not only did he die, but the whole family, including the chickens and dogs, all died cleanly, and some people even found that the two rats who died in the corner also had sword wounds. Whether this family was poisoned to death, or the most powerful poison, according to the estimation of the puppet, there was no pain when he died, because the dead people all had smiles on their faces.

The seventh dead man was a gate guard, so some people speculated that the murderer killed him when he left the city after committing the murder. For he died at the gates of the city, and had nineteen wounds all over his body, each of which was fatal, and died only because the blood had dried up.

These seven people neither knew nor had anything in common, but they were all dead, and they were only two days apart, so the Tingwei Mansion and Jing Zhaoyin had to wonder. Who is the murderer? If they kill innocents indiscriminately, why are there seven of them in the hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City? If the murderer is looking for the seven of them, then these seven people must have some kind of connection, but what is the connection?

Ji darkened his face, looked at the seven corpses at his feet, and turned his head to look at Zhi Jinwu and Tingwei: "Two, how to deal with this matter?" If you don't report to Your Majesty, you and I will be derelict in our duties! ”

Ting Wei nodded: "This case is serious, and it must be reported to Your Majesty." ”

"What about those two things? Your Majesty only gave us ten days, and tomorrow is the deadline for this kind of thing, and I'm afraid that a few of us will do it. ”

"No matter whether it is the end or not, you can't hide this matter if you want to!" Tingwei sighed: "Now that the whole Chang'an has been rumored, I'm afraid Your Majesty has heard about it, if Your Majesty asks about it, losing your official position is a trivial matter, and it is not certain whether this head can resist on your shoulder." ”

Ji secretly said: "This matter is in Jing Zhaoyin, and it is difficult to escape the blame, so I will go and write a recital, no matter what the result, I can only admit it!" ”

Zhi Jinwu and Tingwei also sighed: "It's only like this!" I don't know if it's the god who caused so many things? ”

When Jing Zhaoyin, Zhi Jinwu, and Tingwei were aggrieved by their tragic fate, the victim, or one of the victims, was sitting in Liu Che's Xuan room eating meat and drinking wine. This time Su Renxue was obedient, no matter how many people came with only one jar of wine, or the smallest jar, even if he drank it alone, he would not drink it unconscious.

Regarding Su Ren's stinginess, Gongsun He had a lot of complaints: "Who can drink this little wine?" Don't forget, we're all about your life, or you'll probably have no one alive in your family! ”

Su Ren was unmoved, and snorted: "That's because you love to go, I didn't invite you!" ”

Gongsun He rolled his eyes angrily: "You! Listen to this guy's attitude, Your Majesty will be a witness for me, next time even if this kid is dismantled, I will only stand by and applaud. ”

Liu Che smiled: "This matter is really dangerous, the Mo family is so fierce, if they accumulate enough strength, it is possible to enter my Jianzhang Palace!" ”

Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing are now in charge of the guards of Jianzhang Palace, and when they heard this, they hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will definitely protect Your Majesty to the death." ”

Su Ren smiled: "What you say is good, I'm afraid it's really hanging, there has never been a thousand days of anti-thieves in this world, if you want not to be remembered, the best way is to slaughter those who are worried about it!" Who dares to come nonsense? ”

"Hmmm! What Ziheng said is reasonable! Li Danghu rarely agreed with Su Ren's opinion.

Gongsun He's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "I see, those people who died in the city in the past few days are your means?" However, can you guarantee that they are all disciples of the Mo family? ”

Su Ren glanced at Liu Che and said to Gongsun He: "This time you are wrong, I am only responsible for providing information, and there are other people who do it!" ”

"Who?"

Su Ren smiled: "Don't say it!" This will continue for a while, and you don't have to make a fuss. ”

Mo Yu was in a hurry, the Mo brothers in Chang'an were killed one by one and all died tragically, and he was about to cry urgently. These people are all the hard work of the Mo family, from finding to soliciting, and then to a little bit of **, how much effort the Mo family has took, seeing that they are about to be useful, they actually died like this, so he is not worth it for the giant.

Mo Cong was much quieter, and instead of feeling sad that his subordinates were killed, he drank tea and watched the scenery every day. How lucky they were when they escaped from the blueberry field that day, and if they were slow enough, they would have fallen victim. Therefore, such a good life is earned. Mo Cong didn't expect Su Ren to be so ruthless and strong, which was beyond his expectations.

"Giant, you still ordered the rest of the brothers to transfer, right? If it goes on like this, sooner or later, they will be killed, and two more were killed yesterday! Mo Yu stomped his feet anxiously.

Mo Cong didn't speak, picked up the tea bowl, sniffed it, the taste was very good, and the fragrance was fragrant.

"Giant!"

"From the moment of the operation, you should know the consequences, they are waiting for us to evacuate, leaving maybe there is a glimmer of life, as long as we move, we will be targeted immediately, and it is not surprising that we will all be caught and killed."

"Then we can't look like that!"

Mo Cong glanced at Mo Yu: "You are still young, you don't understand many things, we have no way out now!" ”

"Hey!" Mo Yu sighed, sat on the ground, and closed his eyes in pain.

Mo Cong touched Mo Yu's head and laughed twice: "Since the establishment of my Mo family, with the slogan of love, for the sake of the common people in the world, any price can be paid, this time in order to rescue more brothers who were forcibly moved to Maoling by the emperor, even if all the brothers in Chang'an City die, it is worth it!" ”

"Then why do we listen to that Liu Hong's and send someone to Maoling directly? It is much safer to save people from the guards there than in Chang'an. ”

"Huh!" Mo Cong smiled again: "It's different, remember, we are ink people, and we are also ordinary people, and we must not become prisoners!" ”

Mo Yu was speechless, they had been in this farm outside the city for almost ten days, and Liu Hong, who had told them to kill people, had not appeared once. Mo Yu felt that Liu Hong had abandoned them, reneged on his original promise, and was the real murderer of all this. If it weren't for him, the giant would not be so extreme, let alone watch the brothers and sisters in Chang'an City die in vain and be indifferent.

There was a knock at the door, four long and three short, which was the code they had agreed upon. Without consent, a peasant in a coat of smelter entered, with a bitter face and an open mouth to speak, but for a long time no sound was made.

"Say? What's wrong with it? ”

The peasant sighed: "Three more died last night, all of them are our old men, and there are not a few people left in the entire west of the city." ”

"What happened to the brothers who were arrested?"

The peasant shook his head: "I don't know, I am not in the Tingwei Mansion, nor is it in Jinwu and Jing Zhaoyin, I must still be in the Su family's care, I didn't dare to go in." ”

Mo Cong nodded: "Very good, you go and rest!" ”

The peasant bowed and withdrew from the courtyard. This is the last foothold of their Mo family in Chang'an. Like Su Ren, the purpose of this farm was also just in case, but I didn't expect it to be opened so soon. Three more died, plus the two from yesterday, and those from a few days ago, there have been twelve people who have died in no apparent way, and they are all the most central and reliable people in the Mo family.

Mo Cong took a deep breath and said to Mo Yu: "Go find the person who practiced swords with you and tell him that I want to meet Su Ren!" ”
