Chapter 57: The Murderer and the Motive

"Back to the emperor, the humble duty was incompetent, and the humble duty led people to search the entire house, only to find some scattered silver taels and a few lower face value silver tickets, added to a piece of less than two thousand taels, and did not find any large silver tickets, nor did Liang Yanyang confess 50,000 taels of silver. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Yang Tao gave a disappointing answer.

"At least 5,000 families have lost their food and clothing for a year." Originally, Xiao Mu didn't have a clear idea of how much 50,000 taels of silver was, but after Wang Chengen's "popular science" just now, Xiao Mu couldn't help but calculate it in his heart, and then he found that it felt really painful......

Luo Yangxing saw the disappointment on Xiao Mu's face, and he understood it very well, after all, the current year is not good, the imperial court's finances are tight, and there is such a large amount of money, and it is natural for the emperor to feel disappointed, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that since this money has not been found, there can only be two possibilities, one is that these silver do not exist at all, and they are made up by Liang Yanyang." But this situation is almost impossible, because Liang Yanyang has no reason to deceive in this matter, especially when he is still counting on being able to save his son's life, how can he confess that the real place where he hid his family lies about the amount of dirty wealth? In addition, Du Lao Liu also confessed that there is such a sum of money, which can be mutually corroborated with Liang Yanyang's statement, and there is no chance of collusion between Liang Yanyang and Du Lao Liu, so it is obvious that the 50,000 taels of silver must exist. But now that the silver has not been found, there is only one possibility, and the money must have been stolen by that Feng Laosi. ā€

After listening to Luo Yangxing's long analysis for a long time, Xiao Mu felt that although his analysis was indeed very rigorous, it was all obvious things, "Maybe this is the occupational disease of professional investigators?" Whether it is reasonable or not, all possibilities must be analyzed first? I don't know if this is the case when the police in my later life handled the case......"

So in order to avoid not being professional enough in front of the "professionals", Xiao Mu still bowed his head slightly knowing that what Luo Yangxing said was nonsense, and affirmed his analysis.

Since so much money was taken away by Feng Laosi, he didn't know if it was too late to chase after him now, so Xiao Mu asked Yang Tao again: "Can you determine the time when Liang Yanyang's family was killed?" ā€

"Back to the emperor, according to the humble observation, Liang Yanyang's family should have been poisoned to death this morning, and the statements of the neighbors can also confirm this, they all said that they had seen people enter and leave this house after dinner yesterday, but the door has been closed this morning, and no one else has come out except for Feng Laosi."

"Oh? Someone saw Feng Laosi go out? When was that? Xiao Mu continued to ask.

"It was seen by an old man who sold steamed buns at the mouth of their alley all the year round, this old man has been selling steamed buns there for more than 20 years, and it can be determined that it is not Feng Laosi and his gang, according to him, the time when Feng Laosi went out was just Chenshi."

Xiao Mu calculated in his heart again: when he first arrived, it would be around seven o'clock in the morning. Since this is the case, it is easy to explain that Liang Yanyang's son was lucky to save his life, after all, it is natural for pampered children to be greedy for sleep and unwilling to eat breakfast.

"So the whole process of the matter is that Feng Laosi poisoned their family's food this morning, killed Liang Yanyang's family, and then fled with the dirty wealth that Liang Yanyang had saved for many years?" Xiao Mu summed it up.

"Your Majesty. And it can be speculated that he fled in a hurry, and did not have time to confirm whether Liang Yanyang's family members were all killed, nor did he have time to carefully search the property in the house, but only roughly rummaged through and took away a large amount of silver tickets. Yang Tao replied.

Xiao Mu thought in his heart, it was already afternoon, and that Feng Laosi must have fled from the city a long time ago, even if the city was immediately sealed and searched, it would definitely not have any effect - except for disturbing the people.

"Well, that's a good point." Xiao Mu affirmed, and then threw out a new question, "It's just that why did Feng Laosi kill Liang Yanyang's family?" Even if he knew that Liang Yanyang was in the Daxing East Window incident, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to kill his whole family in the capital? ā€

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this matter is not difficult to understand." Luo Yangxing opened his mouth to take Xiao Mu's question, "Does the emperor remember the attack on Wang Jingyuan's house yesterday?" ā€

Xiao Mu said in his heart, aren't you talking nonsense, how could I not remember what just happened yesterday, but after thinking about it, Luo Yangxing should not dare to underestimate his IQ so blatantly, he should have a reason for asking, so Xiao Mu Zhengse replied: "Of course I remember." ā€

"Liang Yanyang's family was killed precisely because of the attack on Wang Jingyuan's house." Luo Yangxing continued, "Does the emperor still remember Luo Zhenxing's report yesterday? According to Luo Zhenxing, Liu Laoba and his four assassins had moved to the capital from Wang Jingyuan's family that they had heard about near the Hongyuan Restaurant in Daxing yesterday morning, but just yesterday afternoon, before the people who Weichen arranged to go to Wang Jingyuan's house to protect them arrived, they had already killed them. Excluding the time from Daxing to the capital, they almost found Wang Jingyuan's home as soon as they arrived in the capital, but the capital is so big, how can such a thing be possible? ā€

"So, someone showed them the way?" Xiao Mu listened to Luo Yangxing's analysis, and seemed to understand a little, "The one who showed them the way was Feng Laosi who was lurking in the house where Liang Yanyang's family lived?" ā€

"Emperor Shengming, in Weichen's opinion, Liu Laoba and the other three assassins went directly to Feng Laosi when they arrived in the capital, and learned from Feng Laosi about Wang Jingyuan's residence in the capital, so they were able to kill the door so quickly." Luo Yangxing slapped another sycophant, and then continued to analyze, "It can be said that they went to Wang Jingyuan's house to attack with the intention of succeeding, but in the end, the attack was not successful, and the four of them failed to get out, and all of them were killed." ā€

"And then?" Xiao Mu felt as if he was just a layer of window paper away from the truth, so he asked eagerly.

"At the beginning, it was Hu Yun who went to visit by chance to block the assassin's attack and save the lives of Wang Jingyuan's family, although there were some Jinyi guards who were ordered to take care of them near Wang's house, but they didn't know in advance that the Wang family would be attacked, and Wang Jingyuan's family was able to be safe and sound in the end. Despite this, the whole process is very thrilling. Luo Yangxing said a little dry, but he didn't dare to ask the emperor for a cup of tea, so he had to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then said, "But Feng Laosi didn't know this, he thought that Liu Laoba and they would definitely hit the Wang family with one blow, but as a result, their attack failed, and they all died." In Feng Laosi's opinion, it must be that the government has known about their actions in advance, which naturally makes him very frightened, and he doesn't know how much the government has learned, and he is worried that the transaction behind Liang Yanyang will also be exposed, and he himself may be arrested at any time, so he took the risk, killed Liang Yanyang's family members, and escaped from the capital with Liang Yanyang's belongings. ā€

Luo Yangxing's analysis logic was very strict, and he explained Feng Laosi's motive for committing the crime, and Xiao Mu was also stunned after hearing it, so that several things from yesterday to the present were finally connected.

Immediately, Xiao Mu sighed again: "It's really a creation to make people, we already know what happened behind Liang Yanyang, Feng Laosi's killing people is also in vain, it's just to increase the guilt." But we don't know who he is, and if he doesn't do anything, we don't suspect him. ā€

What the emperor said was that Liang Yanyang had done so many illegal things, and in the end, a family member was killed, and the family property that he had hidden for several years was also taken away. But he was quite honest after he was caught, and he confessed everything behind his back truthfully, and as a result, his only son was lucky to save his life. In this way, it seems that all this is providential. Yang Tao also followed Xiao Mu's words and sighed with emotion about the truth of "heaven is good for reincarnation", and Luo Yanghe and Wang Chengen, who had been listening quietly on the side, also agreed.

"Now that Feng Laosi must have already fled, and if he wants to find out the identity of the person behind them, it seems that he still has to make a fuss about Du Laoliu. As for the thick stack of things you brought, since they are useless, I won't look at them. Xiao Mu finally summed up, and then ordered, "Luo Yangxing!" ā€

"Wechen is here." When Luo Yangxing heard this, he must have the emperor's will to give it to him, so he quickly knelt down and listened to the emperor's will.

"I ordered you to personally bring someone to Daxing to interrogate Du Lao Liu, and be sure to find out the results within three days!"

"Wechen obeys." Luo Yangxing replied.

"Arrange the affairs of the capital before leaving, although Feng Laosi ran away, maybe there are other cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the capital. There's nothing going on here, you all go down. Xiao Mu commanded again.

"Wechen understands." Luo Yangxing agreed, and then left the hall with Yang Tao. Holding the thick stack of Du Laoliu's confession in his hand, Luo Yangxing also had a hint of happiness in his heart: this is the best, otherwise, if the emperor sees what is written on the paper to peek at the "glorious" deeds of the widow taking a bath, he will definitely be furious.

"Lord Luo, it's the first time I've seen such a thick confession, I don't know what is written in it? Can you also show the lowly position? Leaving the main hall, Yang Tao also noticed the confession in Luo Yangxing's hand and asked in a low voice.

"It's all useless nonsense." Luo Yangxing replied casually, and then tucked the confession back into his sleeve, "It's nothing to look at." ā€

"Okay." Although the emperor and Lord Luo both said that the content of this confession was useless, Yang Tao, who couldn't see the content of the confession, still couldn't suppress his curiosity, and scratched his heart and liver uncomfortably, "Since it's useless, why can't you show it to me?" ā€

If Xiao Mu and Lin Yi also saw this scene here, they would definitely be able to understand - Yang Tao is also a Virgo born with obsessive-compulsive disorder!
