Chapter 20: The county is killed
The group walked through the front yard and came to the inner house where Lin County Cheng lived. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhang Zhixian is walking back and forth outside the house. He is sighing: The passing year is not good, I didn't need to personally judge the case last year, why this year's fatal cases, one after another!
Everyone saw Zhang Zhixian and hurriedly saluted Zhang Zhixian.
Zhang Zhixian said: "No need to be polite, Wen Hao come and help this county to see if Lin Xiancheng was killed by the people of the White Lotus Sect?" ”
Zhang Zhixian, Shen Ze and others came to the inner room of Lin County's living room.
The crime scene was well preserved, and it seems that Zhang Zhixian and Cao Dianshi couldn't see the way, but they didn't dare to move the scene easily.
Shen Ze stepped forward to check, only to see that Lin Xiancheng was dressed quite neatly, with a blood hole in his left chest, sitting paralyzed on the edge of the bed, his eyes were wide open, with incredible surprise in his eyes, and there was a large pool of dried blood under his body.
On Lin Xiancheng's clothes, a lifelike white lotus flower is drawn, looking at the delicate but indescribable bewitching.
Cao Dianshi explained on the side: This white lotus is the symbol of the Tang Sect of the White Lotus Sect.
Legend has it that every time the Tang Sect of the White Lotus Sect kills someone, he will draw such a delicate white lotus flower on the deceased.
The White Lotus Sect is a folk religious organization that has been repeatedly banned in the Ming Dynasty. Since the Ming Dynasty descended from Emperor Taizu Hongwu, the emperors of all dynasties have severely cracked down on and suppressed the White Lotus Sect, but the White Lotus Sect has repeatedly revived.
The Tang Sect of the White Lotus Sect is a sect of the White Lotus Sect that spreads throughout Shandong. According to legend, it was created by Tang Saier during the Yongle period.
During the Yongle period, Tang Sai'er of the White Lotus Sect called himself "Mother of the Buddha" and went down to earth, and once led the congregation to raise things in the southwest of Yidu County, Qingzhou Prefecture, and the momentum was huge, once conquered many important cities such as Qingzhou, Zhucheng, Anqiu, Juzhou, Jiaozhou, etc., and swept half of the mountain ~ East, and was later suppressed by the Yongle Emperor with heavy troops, but the "Mother of Buddha" Tang Sai'er was finally nowhere to be found, and the officials and soldiers could not find it.
Gao Feng, the ancestor of Gao Ying's family and the commander of Qingzhou Wei during the Yongle period, died at the hands of Tang Sai'er's team. Therefore, after Tang Sai'er was defeated, the Qingzhou Wei led by the Gao family severely cracked down on the Tang Sect of the White Lotus Sect in Qingzhou Mansion, and tried his best to eliminate the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.
However, the Tang Sect of the White Lotus Sect is still repeatedly banned, and it is still scattered in Qingzhou Mansion and even in various parts of Shandong.
Cao Dianshi explained the origin of the Tang Sect of the White Lotus Sect, and gave Shen Ze a brief account of the results of the people in the mansion they interrogated.
According to Cao Dianshi's interrogation, it was learned that Lin County Cheng had a wife and a concubine, and this room was the living place of Lin County Cheng's wife, Qin. Lin Xiancheng rarely came to Qin's room to sleep, and most of the time he would sleep in the room of his concubine Feng.
Lin Xiancheng generally gets up every day within this half an hour, and at the beginning of the year, this half hour is used to wash and eat, and then go to the county government to order Mao.
Because Zhang Zhixian is more strict under the rule, every day at the right time, he will be on time in the second hall of the county ya.
The maids of the Chengnei Mansion in Linxian County all slept in the outer side compartment of the master's room all night, in case the master summoned them at night. The maids on duty usually get up early at the third quarter of the first month, ready to wait for the master to get up, and summon them to serve at any time.
According to the maids, the Qin family has the habit of getting up early to worship the Buddha, and this morning Mrs. Qin Yin went out at two o'clock, saying that Lin Xiancheng slept late last night, a little tired, and may get up later.
According to the maids, Lin Xiancheng got up at the third moment of Yinzheng, because at that time, Lin Xiancheng asked the maids to prepare warm water for food and clean noodles. But after the maids were ready, Lin Xiancheng never summoned them to serve.
The maids waited until the second quarter of the first month, Lin Xiancheng still did not let them in to serve, the maids were afraid that Lin Xiancheng would delay the time of the Shangya, so they dared to enter the room and shouted Lin Xiancheng to get up, but as soon as they came in, they saw that Lin Xiancheng had been killed.
It seems that Lin Xiancheng should have been killed within three quarters of an hour from the third quarter of Yinzheng to the second quarter of Mao. If the time period is more accurate, it should be within these three moments, and the maids were killed in the short time when they left the outside world to prepare for food!
Shen Ze took a look at Lin Xiancheng's room, there was no trace of a fight at the scene, the assassin should have stabbed Lin Xiancheng with a knife, and Lin Xiancheng was powerless to resist.
The assassin should have driven directly to Lin Xiancheng's bedroom after the Qin family and the maids left, and when Lin Xiancheng did not react, he stabbed him to death in the chest, and calmly drew a white lotus, so he quickly escaped, this ...... It seems that only a master, a master with very high martial arts, can do it, maybe only a demon in the White Lotus Sect who knows the demon method can do it.
Shen Ze looked at the murder weapon handed over by Cao Dianshi with a white cloth, a very ordinary dagger, and picked up the corpse compartment filled in carefully and looked at it carefully.
According to Cao Dianshi, it seems that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect did have a motive to kill Lin Xiancheng.
It turned out that Lin County Cheng was in charge of the errand of detecting the remnants of the White Lotus Sect in Yidu County.
The county magistrate is the second official and the deputy of the magistrate, so basically the things that the magistrate can manage, the county can manage.
Although the county is the second-in-command of the county government, sometimes it is really not as good as the miscellaneous officials who have specific responsibilities such as the main book and the canonical history!
Because in the officialdom since ancient times, the most taboo thing for the first leader is for the second-in-command to overstep his power!
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, except for a few very strong or hard-line county officials, who can seize part of the power in the game with the magistrate, most of the county magistrates will generally receive a share of the idle in order to avoid suspicion and avoid power conflicts with the magistrate.
Lin County Cheng is in Yidu County, and it is the errand of the White Lotus Sect remnants in Yidu County!
Because the activities of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect are hidden, it is not easy to detect the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, so this errand generally does not do much, and it can be regarded as an idle errand.
However, the activities of the White Lotus Sect have been rampant in Yidu County recently, and last year, Lin County Cheng really cracked a White Lotus Sect and took more than ten remnants of the White Lotus Sect. After finally reporting to the imperial court, all the remnants of the White Lotus Sect were beheaded for public display. The imperial court also specially commended Lin Xiancheng's political achievements.
Because Lin Xiancheng smashed the White Lotus Sect again, it seems that it would not be an exaggeration if the remnants of the White Lotus Sect hated Lin Xiancheng so much that they assassinated him.
The scene showed that it seemed that it was really the remnants of the White Lotus Sect seeking revenge and assassinating Lin Xiancheng!
However, Shen Ze faintly felt that things didn't seem to be like this!
Shen Ze searched carefully in the room again, hoping to find some clues.
After a careful investigation, Shen Ze noticed the gold-painted screen next to the bed! This screen just blocks the commode and the bed, the style is very exquisite, but it is very ordinary, it is a style commonly used by large families, and there is nothing surprising in itself.
Shen Ze turned the screen and saw a beautifully made commode. Shen Ze saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he wanted to turn around, but suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and took two steps forward and lifted the lid of the commode to take a look.
Gao Ying has been paying attention to Shen Ze's expression, and she found that Shen Ze had a sudden look flashing the moment he lifted the toilet lid.
Shen Ze turned to Zhang Zhixian and said, "Lord County, can the student interrogate the people in the Cheng Mansion of Lin County again?" ”
"Naturally!"

PS: In ancient times, an hour was eight quarters of an hour, four quarters of an hour at the beginning of the first quarter of the year and four quarters of the hour each, also called the first four quarters and the next four quarters. Another hour is two hours, and a quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes.
