Chapter 47: The Commander's Resentment
By the time the old steward understood that this group of brocade guards would not come to arrest them and send them to prison, Qin Lin had already commanded the rest of the army to pry open the coffin sealed by the long nails.
Liu Wu was a delicate girl before her death, with fair skin and good appearance, but unfortunately she was lying quietly in the coffin now, her clothes were disheveled, her face was swollen, her facial features were distorted and showed a hideous expression, her open mouth seemed to tell the grievances and resentment of the deceased, and the part of the neck that was not covered by the collar was deeply scarred in her eyes, extending to the back of her ears, but there were not many bruises on the strangulation marks.
This is clearly a fatal death!
Liu carpenter sat on the ground with his head in his arms, Liu Fengshi cried and threw himself into the coffin, gently rubbing his daughter's cold face, but this time, the lively and lovely daughter would never smile and coddle with her mother again.
Her cry was terrible: "My son, which god has harmed you......"
Liu Hua pulled his mother away from the coffin and looked at Qin Lin without saying a word, the meaning of the plea was self-evident.
Qin Lin nodded, from the moment he opened the coffin and saw the corpse, he was destined to find the real murderer.
The old steward stood up with the support of several personal soldiers, slowly walked in front of Qin Lin, looked him up and down, and snorted in his nose: "This handmaid and the maids seduce the little ones in the family, several people are jealous, and they can't think of hanging themselves, it is the chief manager who is very kind, does not publicize her ugly thing, and also promised to help the Liu family burn and bury the silver, hum, even you Lord Shi dare not be rude to my master, you are just a school captain, this manager advises you to know each other, don't set yourself on fire!" ”
Qin Lin squinted his eyes and ignored him: "Who are you?" ”
The old steward straightened his chest: "I am the commander of the embassy, and Wang Cai is." ”
Wang Cai? Why don't you call it Wangcai! Qin Lin waved his hand angrily: "Hello Wangcai, goodbye Wangcai!" ”
Wang Cai grabbed Qin Lin's collar angrily: "Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink!" ”
Qin Lin sneered, gave Wang Cai two slaps with a very fast split, and then grabbed his gray hair, pulled it to the side of the coffin and pressed it down, almost putting his face on the corpse, and roared angrily:
"Mud Horse opened its eyes to see clearly, this is a suicide by hanging?! Do you hang yourself with a rope behind your ears? There is no bruise on the mud horse's neck with such deep strangulation marks! Lao Tzu hangs you up and tries it, and you see that there is wood at the bottom! ”
Everyone was confused, and they didn't understand why Qin Lin suddenly went crazy.
Jiao Chengzuo, who came along, explained to Master Zhang: "Master Yu, all those who hang themselves have obvious eight-character marks on their heads and necks. This is because the body of the hanged person is suspended in the air, and the weight of his own sagging makes the rope deeply strangle the neck, and the stranglement force on both sides is large, and the rope is relatively deep into the flesh, and there is almost no trace of the rope when the force is not stressed at the back of the neck, so the traces left by the neck of the hanged person are like a figure of eight.
Anyone who is strangled to death by others, the rope tightens the whole neck, and there are strangulation marks on the back of the neck, and the two paintings of the eight characters intersect, so it is written on the record of clearing grievances that the intersection of the strangulation marks of the hanged person is his killing, and the eight characters are suicide. ”
I see! Not only did Zhang Gongyu nod yes, but everyone also understood why Qin Lin was like this.
The chief manager, Wang Cai, was pressed into the coffin by Qin Lin, and the corpse dangled in front of his eyes, so frightened that his legs were weak, and he couldn't even scream, and he was trembling.
Qin Lin still didn't let go of this evil slave, and beckoned Zhao Yiming: "Come on, this guy still dares to say that this is a suicide by hanging, and the brothers will find a tree to hang him up to see if there are any such scars." Yes, Lao Tzu paid for his life, no, even if he paid for Miss Liu's life! ”
Zhao Yiming agreed, and a few soldiers went to get a rope to build on the tree, while Han Feilian commanded the others to force the few personal soldiers to stop, unable to move.
When the chief manager of Wang Cai heard Qin Lin's shout, he saw the remnants of the army throwing ropes into the trees, and he was so frightened that his urine was about to flow out.
He is obedient, in this life, except for flattering and commanding Wang Jinxian, he is flattered by others, where have I seen today's group of brocade guards, who are stunned and don't want to die!
"The villain doesn't know anything, he doesn't do the villain's business, last night was the young master's yard tossing all night, and today he carried the coffin out," Wang Cai said this, and suddenly the hand that was pulling his hair loosened, and his heart hanging in his throat returned to his place slightly, holding the coffin with both hands and panting.
After a while, the invincible Wang Daguan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Lin repeatedly: "Sir Mingjian, the villain has never done anything bad, and Miss Liu's death has nothing to do with the villain!" It's not clear whether it's a suicide or a murdered villain, just take out such a coffin and hand it over to the villain, you have to resist your fate, ask the chief to find the real murderer, don't wronged the little one! ”
Seeing that Wang Cai was deflated, everyone was secretly relieved, especially Zhang Gongyu, who nodded and smiled with a few dark beards: Wang Caigou looks at people low, and sometimes he doesn't even buy the account of the state government.
However, Qin Lin's vigorous and resolute methods, although Master Zhang envy him, he can't learn it, and the scholar pays attention to slow and slow walking, grace and generosity, how can he be so fierce and violent?
Master Zhang shook his head again, and his own person also read the call, and others didn't hear what he said clearly, only Niu Dali, who was close, vaguely heard the words to persuade people with reason.
"Let's go, let's go to the command envoy!" Qin Lin greeted the brocade brothers.
Zhao Yiming is a military surplus after all, and he lacks confidence: "Brother Qin, don't you ask Lord Shi?" ”
Qin Lin laughed, and Han Feilian also laughed.
After a while, Zhao Yiming patted his head: Hey, of course you have to let Lord Shi leave it clear up when you go to make trouble, please tell Lord Shi, hehe, is he going to make trouble with you, or is he stopping you from going? Didn't you embarrass Lord Shi?
The coffin was not opened just now, Zhang Gongyu had to stay out of the matter, and now that it is confirmed that he killed him, he has the confidence to raise all the officials and the people to command the envoy together.
The west belongs to gold, the elephant of the soldiers, and the command is in the west of Qizhou.
A few of the soldiers who were standing at the gate of the yamen saw Jinyiwei and the eldest master of Benzhou coming murderously from a distance, and they all frightened the boss: Don't be the commander to make the chief do bad things, Shangguan sent Zhizhou and Jinyiwei to pick up the seal, right? It has always been the commander of the envoy to appoint the commander of the envoy or the commander of the same knowledge, this time it is unprecedented, the magistrate and the Jinyi guard came together, didn't he commit the Qin case?
Thinking of this layer, he immediately shouted all the way in with fast legs: "The master is not good, woe to you!" ”
Zhengsanpin Qizhou Wei commanded Wang Jinxian to sit in the yamen and discuss with a group of servants, pacification, experience, and governors to welcome General Deng's army, repairing ships need to arrange a number of military craftsmen, how much hay and black beans are needed for horse feed, how much rice and white noodles are needed for people, and how many buckles can be obtained after this errand, how much to send to the military department and the commander of the embassy, and how many can be put into his own pocket...... Just as he was on the rise, he heard his own soldiers shouting indiscriminately, and Sai Ruyan hit his head with a thunderbolt in the sky, and he immediately became cold.
came back to his senses and hurried out of the yamen to see what was going on, but he saw a few of his own soldiers sent out in the morning in the middle of the crowd panting and carrying a coffin. Most of it was the handmaiden's business, as soon as a few ordinary people called, Zhang Gongyu was timid and afraid of making a civil uprising, so he brought people to me. ”
When he saw Zhang Gongyu coming out of the sedan chair, Wang Jinxian strode over: "Zhang's parents are happy, and it is interesting to carry the coffin to go shopping on a hot day." ”
Zhang Gongyu pointed at Qin Lin and Han Feilian: "The life and death of the people under his jurisdiction are the responsibility of this official, but this time it is a matter of Jinyiwei, and this official is just at the right time, and by the way, he will seek justice for the people under his rule." ”
Wang Jinxian looked at Qin Lin and Han Feilian, and said in his heart, a young lieutenant, a small flag, dare to find my Zheng Sanpin command envoy, isn't it Shi Wei's tricks?
Jinyi Wei is extremely powerful, and the guard is far inferior, Shi Wei, a hundred households, can fight against the commander; But Xiaoqi and the lieutenant are really too far apart.
He snorted in his nose and looked to the side, meaning naturally that the two of you are too low in rank to be qualified to talk to me.
Qin Lin smiled, took out a document from his arms and handed it to Wang Jinxian.
Wang Jinxian was so angry that he trembled all over his body, and he wanted to have a seizure, but in the end he swallowed his anger and accepted the document.
Because Qin Lin took out the Jinyi Wei driving sticker (function = letter of introduction + arrest warrant), the driving sticker of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and the civil and military officials did not accept the same protest when they saw the sticker!
If it is a Qingliu civil official, if he wants to resist the decree, be beaten by the court rod, and get his name cleared, the emperor may not give him this opportunity, forget it, the lord just won't beat you, and make your own self boring; But if the generals resist the decree and obediently Long Dong, do you want to be Han Xin or An Lushan?
Wang Jinxian's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip, but his words were extremely stiff: "What is the business of the two of you here?" It is ordered to take Wang to prison, please take out the holy decree and read it; It's Beizhen Fusi who wants to arrest and ask, and please show Lord Liu's order. ”
Qin Lin smiled: "Where is Lord Wang?" Your old man is loyal to the country, as long as you don't commit crimes and don't indiscriminately kill people, we will never dare to arrest and ask without authorization. ”
Wang Jinxian trembled with anger when he heard this, knowing that the young Jinyi lieutenant was secretly stabbing him to kill the people, but the other party did not say it explicitly and could not open his mouth to refute.
"Under the secret order of the Fusi of Beizhen," Qin Lin said neatly, "I, the Qizhou Jinyi Wei Hundred Households, want to ensure the safety of the army under the command of General Deng Zilong Deng during the recuperation period in Qizhou, and prevent the White Lotus Sect rebels from causing trouble. The maid of your mansion suddenly died at this moment, and my Jinyi Wei has reason to suspect that it is related to the White Lotus Sect rebels, so this matter must be thoroughly investigated, just in case. ”
Wang Jinxian's face was blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let you check!" ”
