Chapter 457: Jin Zhuyu Disappears and Cracks the Strange Case (4)
"Back to the king, last night, there were several courtyards in the city that were stolen and lost a lot of gold and silver!" The queen came to the side of King Wu of Qin and said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Oh! Such a trivial matter is handed over to Xianyang Ling to deal with! King Qin Wu really didn't expect that what the queen said was such a thing, he didn't raise his head, and he was still busy reviewing the copy.
"King! This stolen courtyard includes the mansion of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General Meng! The queen said:
"Now that the general is in Bashu, he is in danger of the world, if he knows that this mansion has been stolen and I ignore it, wouldn't it..."
When King Qin Wu heard this, he immediately had a wit, quickly put down the music in his hand, raised his head to look at the queen, and thought, "The reason why I urged Meng Shuo to return to Xianyang as soon as possible is not because I miss it so much, but because of this national event, naturally I can't fake others for a long time."
Now that Bashu has been decided, the court has not yet been able to send officials to Shu, and the real power of Shu today is Meng Shuo, who has a heavy army, and the reason why he promised to appoint Chen Zhuang as the king of Shu that day is just to balance Meng Shuo'.
"Yes! The general is in Bashu, born and died for Daqin, and there was a sudden change in his family, if we don't pay attention to it, wouldn't we be ashamed of the previous general! Someone quickly Xuan Tingwei entered the palace. ”
"No!" The little eunuch beside him turned and left.
When the queen saw that King Qin Wu Yingdang was awakened in a few words, she was happy in her heart, and then stood up and brought a cup of tea to King Qin Wu Yingdang.
"King, please drink tea."
"Thank you, Queen, if it weren't for the queen today, I would have almost missed something big again!" King Qin Wu said gratefully.
The queen smiled slightly:
"It's all within the concubine's share, why should the king say thank you, oh! Later, the concubine will go to the house, take a look at my grumpy sister, the person who just delivered the letter, at the moment in the garden thunder, if there are three long and two short, I can't bear it! ”
"Haha... The queen is right, if something happens, it's not easy to explain it to the general! The queen should go and take a look! ”
Waiting for the lieutenant, it is naturally not the pleasant face of the spring breeze in February, and he has to be scolded like a storm, and he is in a high position, and in Xianyang City, it is really a dereliction of duty. Tingwei was silent, did not dare to make a mistake, and cautiously accepted the reprimand of King Qin Wu.
In the end, King Wu of Qin Yingdang ordered Ting Wei to say:
"The case must be solved within ten days, if it is a day late, come and see you!"
"No!" When the court lieutenant received the order, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and ran out of the palace in a gloomy manner, and went straight to the official office to arrange various affairs. The theft incident in the house was already full of turmoil in the city at this time, and the homes of dignitaries and nobles, gold, silver and jewelry were looted.
There are many speculations, and there are all kinds of versions, some say that they are guarded and stealed, some say that they rob the rich and help the poor, and more say that they are committed by Jiang Yang's thieves, and they are spread for a while.
Everyone's attention was attracted to this, whether it was ordinary people or dignitaries, they were all paying close attention to the movements of the imperial court, wanting to see if the imperial court could recover these gold, silver and jewelry.
"Xianyang Order! This case will be solved within seven days, if it can't be solved! Hugh blames my men for being ruthless! Ting Wei said angrily in the official office, majestic and scared to death.
Xianyang Ling couldn't cry or laugh when he heard such an order, but the official level crushed people to death, and since the court lieutenant had an order, he didn't dare not copy it.
"No! Subordinates obey! ”
After Xianyang Ling returned to the palace, all the officials in the yamen were gathered, including Xiang Shou.
When Xiang Shou tossed and turned, he thought that he finally had the opportunity to fly the dragon in the sky, but in fact it was not the same thing at all, he was overjoyed, but there was no improvement at all, but fortunately, the Empress Dowager Mi coordinated from it to send Xiang Shou to the yamen of this Xianyang Order to do things.
Xianyang Ling sat in the palace, very magnificent, many officials, caught fast and trembling to stay under the court, as for the things that were rumored outside, everyone knew it.
But at the moment, there is no way at all, so I can only wait for the arrangement of Xianyang Ling, Xianyang Ling saw that everyone was stunned, he was annoyed, and said:
"Xiang Tou, if you can't solve the case within one comparison, then don't blame the official for offending! Thou shalt not be able to protect your head! ”
Although Xianyang Ling knows the foundation of Xiang Shou, but now his life is almost gone, who cares about this.
When Xiang Shou heard this, he suddenly felt that the five thunders were on the top, and the investigation tasks undertaken by the arrest were all time-limited, which was called "comparison", generally five days was a "comparison", and three days for major homicides were a "comparison". Once a "comparison limit" has passed, those who cannot solve the case will be punished if they are arrested quickly.
"How can you solve such a big case in the past five days!" Xiang Shou said unconvinced.
"In his position to seek his own government, let him do his duty, although the relationship between Xiang Tou and Gongzi Yingji is extraordinary, but today's matter is actually an order issued by the King of Qin himself, and we are powerless. Five days later, if Lord Xiang can't solve the case, you and I will lose our heads! Xianyang Ling said helplessly.
When Xiang Shou heard this, he was speechless with anger, and thought, 'It seems that in five days, I will die here!' Seeing that Xiang Shou was standing still and not moving, Xianyang Ling asked:
"Catching heads? Do you have to wait here for five days? ”
"Humph! Walk! Xiang Shou angrily led the arresters to investigate the case. Investigating the case is not easy, and several houses were stolen overnight. And these houses are all deep mansions, heavily guarded, but I didn't expect that there was no trace at the scene, and there were no clues to solve the case.
Seeing that there were no clues, Xiang Shou could only arrange for his subordinates to catch them quickly, and investigate them door to door, and for a while, the entire Xianyang City was disturbed.
It is said that the prince of Chu Xiong was hunting across the horse, and the depression in his chest was somewhat relieved, and he rushed back from outside the city with Duanmu ruthlessly, and the horse galloped, and it didn't take long to catch up with the funeral people.
Prince Chu ignored Pegasus, but at this time, Duanmu ruthlessly looked at it carefully, and it was really good, and there was no difference from what Prince Xiong Heng said.
It stands to reason that everyone should kneel in three steps and knock in five steps, but these people in front of them just came in a hurry, and they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and they looked very nervous.
But when the two came closer, everyone saw that it was the two people they met on the mountain, and they were relieved, and some people were still smiling ruthlessly at Duanmu. After the horses pulled away from everyone for a while, Duanmu ruthlessly caught up with the prince of Chu Xiong Heng and said:
"The prince really didn't guess wrong, these people must have a treacherous plot!"
Prince Chu Xiong Heng smiled slightly:
"Whoever goes out of his way and is unreasonable will be treacherous! Let's go, go back to town! The two men urged their horses into the city. Not long after entering the city, he met Zhu Yidao who was waiting, and the prince of Chu, Xiong Heng, saw Zhu Yidao waiting on the street, and knew that there must be something to report, so he immediately turned around and gave Duanmu a ruthless look, Duanmu ruthlessly understood, got off the horse, and followed Zhu Yidao into the deep alley.
"What's the matter?" Duanmu asked ruthlessly. (To be continued.) )
