Looking at the corpses full of corpses in the morgue, a cold aura permeated the space, making people feel uncomfortable, Liu Zongzhou looked at it, and then opened a few corpses and said, "All of them are here?" ”

"Yes! My lord! "The humanity of the leader. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"These are all from the Chu Palace, where are the people of the ghost Jiao?" Liu Zongzhou asked.

"My lord! In that corner, there are relatively few people, after all, they are a sneak attack, and they are well prepared, and the losses are very small! "The humanity of the leader.

"But is there that Wang Biao?" Liu Zongzhou continued to ask.

"Nope!" The leader of the group is very simple.

"No?" Liu Zongzhou frowned, and then said, "Okay!" The official understands, take the official over to see! ”

"Your Excellency, please!" The leader of the team said respectfully.

Half an hour later, Liu Zongzhou led people away from the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, and at the same time took away the corpse and the weapons they had used before their deaths.

After a long time, in the Yazhong of Shuntian Mansion, Liu Zongzhou couldn't help frowning when he looked at the file on the case, the Chu Palace, the Ghost Jiao, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the complex relationship between the three was entangled in Liu Zongzhou's heart, which made him feel depressed, "How could this ghost Jiao think about robbing and killing the people of the Chu Palace, and this ghost Jiao didn't stay in the Jianghuai area, what did he come to the capital for?" Where did they go? ”

After thinking for a while, Liu Zongzhou looked at Nangong Yi, who was frowning on the side, and said, "Nangong Yi, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Nangong Yi saw Liu Zongzhou asking himself, thought for a while, and said, "My lord, I think there is something strange about this matter!" ”

"Tell me!" Liu Zongzhou said succinctly.

"Let's talk about this Chu Wangfu first, even if the people of the ghost Jiao didn't know the people of their Chu Wangfu at first, then all the signs afterwards showed that they must be people of noble status, not something they could provoke, why should they be so decisive? Behind this scene, someone must have instructed him, this ghost Jiao is nothing more than taking people's money to do things for others, since the ghost Jiao is the number one robber gang in Jianghuai, then the identity of the person who can make them do things must be unusual, and that person must have something in the court? You don't need to say this, my lord! Nangong Yi said.

"I understand! You continue! Liu Zongzhou said.

"In addition, why did this person rob and kill the people of the Chu Palace, even if he has a big relationship in the court, he can't provoke the royal family for a treasure! This is a great sin of the Nine Clans! This is a point that Xia Guan can't understand! Nangong Yi smiled bitterly.

"This is also what this official can't understand!" Liu Zongzhou is also bitter and authentic.

"My lord! Let's move on to the next one! Nangong Yi paused and said: "The people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division robbed and killed that little boy, but this little boy spent 400,000 taels of silver to buy a courtesan, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented!" Since he can spend so much money to buy a play, it means that his identity is definitely not simple, I believe that the adults have more detailed information! ”

"He is the only seedling of Wang Fu among the two major salt merchants in Jianghuai! The main messenger behind the scenes you just mentioned may be Wang Fu, but according to the information of the investigation, this Wang Fu usually does things cautiously, steadily, and basically does not do risky transactions, and he himself is not very interested in calligraphy and painting, if he is allowed to take the risk of the Jiu clan to obtain a treasure that he is not interested in, the official thinks that he can't do it, of course, it is not ruled out that there is this possibility! Liu Zongzhou frowned.

"My lord! Forgive your attention! That Wang boy's words are not true! Nangong Yi said with a smile.

"This officer knows! That kid must have hidden something and didn't dare to say it! It could be for self-preservation, or it could be for other purposes! Liu Zongzhou said with a smile.

"My lord! You just said that there are two major salt merchants in Jianghuai, so who is the other one?" Nangong Yi asked.

"Wu Biaotian! This person is different from Wang Fu, according to the intelligence of the investigation, this person is insidious and cunning, unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, and it is also by these means that in just a few years, he has become a giant of salt merchants in the Jianghuai region! The strength should not be underestimated! Liu Zongzhou frowned.

"My lord! How did the two of them get along? Nangong Yi reminded.

"It's possible for you to say that! But now there is only physical evidence, and the corpse can't speak, they can completely deny it, and now the official has ordered the hunt down of the ghost Jiao! Liu Zongzhou said.

"Why didn't the adults send someone to Jiangnan to find the people of the ghost Jiao to investigate whether they were employed by these two people, if so, you will find out as soon as you find out!" Nangong Yi said.

"If they were really hired! What do you think happened in the capital, so how will they deal with it? Liu Zongzhou sneered.

"It's still thoughtful to adults, and now we are pinning our hopes on whether we can find these ghost Jiao people who come to the capital!" Nangong Yi said bitterly, and then said: "Then it's the Hou Ye that Wang kid said!" Judging from the title and the physical evidence found at the scene, it is obvious that the target is Lord Luo! Why didn't you summon me and ask? ”

"Is that Luo Ying that simple? He can completely deny it when he is summoned, saying that someone framed him, as for the physical evidence, he can also say that it was dropped by the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division when they were patrolling, and the blood stains dragged by the bandits when they met the bandits during the patrol, and the key human and physical evidence was not available, which was very difficult! Liu Zongzhou smiled bitterly.

"My lord! Xia Guan has a suggestion! Nangong Yi thought for a while.

"Say!" Liu Zongzhou said.

"My lord! Whether it is the Chu Palace, the Five Cities Terracotta Division, or the Jianghuai Salt Merchant, it is very difficult for us to move at present! Nangong Yi analyzed.

"Humph! I know! But this official is not afraid! Your Majesty! I will definitely support this official! Liu Zongzhou said.

"My lord! That's not what Xia Guan said! The lower officials understand that the saints are wise today, and you are also outstanding! It's just that the officials of this case think that our Shuntian Mansion is not easy to handle, and it should be directly handed over to the Criminal Department for trial! Or adults can write to His Majesty to suggest that the three divisions be tried! The imperial court will definitely make the best disposition! Nangong Yi persuaded.

After listening to Nangong Yi's words, Liu Zongzhou couldn't help frowning, and then Nangong Yi said again: "My lord, there is another reason why Xia Guan said this!" ”

"What reason?!" Liu Zong was stunned.

"My lord! This Chu Wangfu will definitely go to the court and ask the court to make decisions for him, this is related to the face of the royal family, Your Majesty will definitely let the three divisions conduct a triage, why don't we submit it now? Also, what if we can't find those ghost Jiao people, the search of the Marquis Mansion also needs the approval of the imperial court, and I believe that in the end, the imperial court will also decide to review it by the imperial court! Nangong Yi said.

When Liu Zong heard this, he immediately fell into silence, he began to sort out the thoughts just now, the slightest clue and Nangong Yi's words, and then he seemed to think of it, and suddenly his eyes widened, and then he sighed and said, "You're right!" ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Nangong Yi said respectfully.

"You get all the files in order! And all kinds of physical evidence have been sorted out! Liu Zongzhou commanded.

"Yes! My lord! The next official will handle it! Nangong Yi took the order and left.

After Nangong Yi went out, Liu Zongzhou looked at the triangular relationship on his paper, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's complicated, if this ghost Jiao official can't find them alive in the end, then in addition to escaping, he will be killed, and in Jingshi, he can mobilize manpower to rob and kill a bandit gang of such strength in such a short time, it is indeed not an ordinary person!" All kinds of possibilities give the official a headache, so let's throw this hot potato to them! ”

Half an hour later, Liu Zongzhou entered the Daming Palace with the scroll and met Emperor Chongzhen.

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! Liu Zongzhou said respectfully.

"Aiqing is flat!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Zongzhou said respectfully.

Chongzhen looked at the last Confucian master of the Ming Dynasty, medium height, emaciated face, with a goatee, clean and tidy official mansion, Chongzhen thought that if he got rid of this official mansion and put on a modern Zhongshan suit, he would live a modern knowledgeable professor! Chongzhen's favorite thing to look at is his eyes, which are dazzling, and it seems that there is a brilliant starry sky of knowledge inside, attracting people to explore.

"Cao Huachun! Throne! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Zongzhou saluted respectfully.

"Why did Liu Aiqing suddenly come to see me today?" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty! A few days ago, the Shuntianfu Weichen has investigated the ins and outs of this matter, according to this result, Wechen thought that it was more appropriate for His Majesty to let the three or four conduct a trial of the case, so he came to inform His Majesty, this is the file compiled by Wechen and the analysis made by Wechen, are all on it, I implore Your Majesty to take a look! Liu Zongzhou said and presented the dossier,

Cao Huachun smiled and then presented the file to Chongzhen, Chongzhen took it, and then looked at it carefully, and after a while, Chongzhen closed the file and said: "Aiqing's analysis is very good, I am very satisfied!" This case really needs to be triaged by the three divisions, which is more appropriate! I'll make arrangements! ”

"Your Majesty is wise! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! Liu Zongzhou said.

"That's right! I heard that Aiqing is interested in doing studies? Chongzhen said with a smile.

Liu Zong was stunned, but still said, "Back to Your Majesty!" Wechen has this hobby! ”

"Not bad! If you have time, you can tidy it up, get some works and take a look, and it should be useful in the future! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"What! His Majesty the Emperor wants to see his own works? Liu Zong was stunned, but he was still happy: "Weichen has the order!" ”

"Aiqing, do you still have something to do?" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty! Wechen has no play! Liu Zongzhou said respectfully.

"Then stand down! Aiqing doesn't have to worry about this case, and don't mention it to anyone, understand? Chongzhen said.

"We're in command! Wechen retires! Liu Zongzhou made a big salute, and then withdrew.

Watching Liu Zongzhou retreat, Chongzhen said: "Cao Huachun! I'll leave it to you, herald! Let the three divisions conduct the triage, and Zhongxingwei will assist in the investigation! ”

Cao Huachun took the file with a smile and said, "The old slave has the order!" ”
