Chapter Seventy-Four: The Death of the County Order
Chang'an in the middle of the night is particularly cold, although it is spring, but there is a hint of chill in the air. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info occasionally from a distance to hear one or two beatings, accompanied by the barking of dogs to break the silence of the night. Zhu Mingyang carefully observed the corpse on the ground, but saw that the wound on the corpse was very strange, but he couldn't tell where it was strange. Zhu Mingyang settled down again, looked at it suddenly, and found that this corpse was very familiar, and he slowly broke the corpse's face slowly.
"It's him!" Zhu Mingyang was surprised. The corpse on the ground was Lord Du, the commander of Huayuan County, and Lord Du's eyes were staring at Zhu Mingyang, and it seemed that he was also dead. I didn't expect this evil county order to have today, it seems that the wicked have evil retribution, but the time has not yet come, Zhu Mingyang smiled coldly, and wiped it lightly on Lord Du's face, and the copper bell-like eyes finally closed.
"Who's where?" At this time, a man's inquiry voice came from the darkness not far away, the voice was very small, but it was very clear in the middle of the night, as if it came from hell, which made Zhu Mingyang shudder.
Zhu Mingyang didn't answer, and looked at the voice, a thin figure carrying a lantern came from the darkness, like a ghost fire on the grave of June. When I got closer, I found that it was a watchman, holding a gong the size of a plate, and his expression was also very frightened.
"This is? Kill! At last the watchman saw the corpse on the ground, howled in great fear, threw the lantern and gong in his hand and disappeared into the darkness.
In a short time, a group of officials came galloping from afar with a flock of torches. There were a lot of people, and the torches in their hands lit up the entire night sky, as if it was daytime, and also illuminated Zhu Mingyang, who was searching everywhere, and the corpses on the ground. A slightly chubby man walked out of the official service, and the red official mansion was very dazzling, and Zhu Mingyang was even more sure that this person who looked like a civil official must be a feudal official.
"My lord, it's him! He killed! The husband pointed at Zhu Mingyang and said firmly.
"Take it for me first!" The civil servant rubbed his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
After receiving the instructions, the officials swarmed up like flies and surrounded Zhu Mingyang tightly.
"I don't know why the adults are arrested! Which paragraph of the law of the Tang Dynasty was violated. Zhu Mingyang stood up and asked confidently.
"Humph! Do you dare to deny all the stolen goods? I ask you, but the people of the earth died at your hand? The civil servant asked habitually, in a loud and powerful voice.
"I said no, do you believe it?" Zhu Mingyang asked with his eyes glared and said coldly.
"You villain, seeing that Lord Ben did not kneel down and confess his guilt, but questioned the official, and when you arrive at Jingzhao Mansion, you will be able to taste all kinds of torture tools." The civil official seemed very angry when Zhu Mingyang asked him like this.
"Don't hide it, this person really wasn't killed by Xia. First, if I had been killed, would I have been stupid enough to stand here and wait for the adults to come and arrest me? Second, if this person was killed by me, what was my motive for killing this person? Vendetta? Murder and overkill? In the end, the man died by the sword, but with a sword under it, and the adult could immediately ask for a wound. Zhu Mingyang patted the soil in his hand and said slowly.
"Hmmm! There is some truth in that, since you keep saying that you are not a murderer, then who are you? Why is it here late at night? The civil servant thought for a moment and asked.
"Xiaguan is Zhu Mingyang, the assassin of Yongzhou! Entrusted by His Majesty, he is investigating the violation of law and discipline by Lord Du of the former Huayuan County! After speaking, Zhu Mingyang handed over the fish talisman in his hand.
"It turns out that you are Zhu Mingyang, the old man is really clumsy. The old man is Yin Liu Yan of Jingzhao Mansion, and it is really a blessing to meet Zhu Gongzi today. Zhu Gongzi can help His Majesty find a miracle doctor, it is really a blessing for me! Unexpectedly, Childe was so young that he had such a contribution. Liu Yan laughed, with a hint of joy on his round face, waved his hand at the officials, and obediently dispersed around Zhu Mingyang's officials, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
"This is what my generation should do, compared to the daily work of adults, the lower officials are really like ants." Zhu Mingyang said respectfully. Di Renjie once told himself that he would rather suffer losses than be left and right, and be a low-key person. Moreover, in terms of grade, Liu Yan is the second grade, but he is the fifth grade, so he has to compliment him, anyway, it will not be wrong to compliment him. Thinking of this, Zhu Mingyang deliberately bent over and made a gesture.
"Good, good, good! is modest, and he is really a hero out of a teenager. I don't know how Zhu Gongzi's case has changed? Liu Yan showed a sincere smile and asked with concern.
"Don't hide it, the one lying on the ground is the former Lord of Huayuan County, but I don't know who killed him, and the lower officials are still at a loss!" Zhu Mingyang shook his head vigorously and frowned.
"Huh! My lord! This man's wound was very strange, just like the corpse of the last broken temple. At this moment, there was a sound of surprise from the side of the corpse.
"Broken temple?" Zhu Mingyang asked suspiciously.
"Here's the thing, half a year ago, there was also a murder case in Chang'an, several homeless men were killed in the broken temple of Chang'an City for some reason, and I know that the case is still unsolved! Ay...... I didn't expect this to be another life, and I didn't know how to explain it to the Criminal Department. Liu Yan sighed vigorously.
"Lord Liu, I believe that this case must be related to the case of the broken temple, so I ask Lord Liu to hand over this case to the lower officials to be responsible for handling it!" Zhu Mingyang thought for a moment and said to Liu Yan.
"There is a son to handle this case, and the old man is relieved. If the son needs anything to handle the case, the old man must do his best. In addition, the officials of this Jingzhao Mansion are ready to be sent by the prince at any time! Liu Yan said with a pleasant face.
"Thank you, Lord Liu, for your accomplishment!" Zhu Mingyang saw that Liu Yan had accepted it, and hurriedly thanked him.
"Zhu Gongzi is really out of sight, they are both doing things for the emperor, regardless of each other. It's not early today, I'll go back and rest first, and I'll do everything for you. Liu Yan returned the salute with fists with both hands.
"Be careful, the lower officials won't send it!" Zhu Mingyang said politely.
"A few of you follow Zhu Gongzi and assist Zhu Gongzi to solve the case, and the others will go home with me!" Liu Yan stretched his waist, yawned, gave a few words to the officials, and then disappeared into the night with a part of the officials.
After Zhu Mingyang watched Liu Yan leave, he took a torch from the official next to him, and then the light of the torch continued to rummage over the corpses on the ground. A homeless man with a ruined temple? Master Du? Zhu Mingyang was brought into deep thought by these irrelevant things. Suddenly, he thought of something, dipped his finger in the ground, and looked into the distance......
