Chapter 200, after dawn, the storm rises
PS: 3000+, the more than 300 words of gaqua, a little cold, the body is the capital of the code word, I have to go to bed early, good night everyone~
The New Year will be in a few days, but the closer it is to this moment, the more it seems that there is no such festive feeling as the New Year in Luoyang City.
There were not a few pedestrians on the road, but the people passing by were in a hurry, even the vendors who set up stalls seemed to have disappeared, and the most common sights on the streets were patrolling groups of officers and soldiers, and the whole city was enveloped in an unusually tense atmosphere.
At this time, it was the beginning of the hour, and the dark twilight was gradually torn apart, and a little light was sprinkled to the world, and it also shrouded the capital in the dawn with a layer of misty gold edges.
At the time of the routine, the Kaiyang Gate of the southern city of Luoyang gradually opened, and the soldiers who opened the gate made fun of each other while yawning.
The south city of Kaiyang Gate is wide, nearly three zhang high, two zhang wide, and very thick, although it is wooden, the solid Cheng dΓΉ is not trivial, if the siege of the city is afraid to use a thousand catties to hit the wood to shake, but there are pulleys at the city gate, with clever breaking force, so only three or four small soldiers are enough to open the city gate.
When the place was completely open, the light outside gradually became harsh and sharp, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while, and when they blinked, they wanted to look up at the sun as usual, but this sight startled them.
Several people usually have a good relationship, and they also have a shiver together at this time, and the scene in front of them is even more chilling than the weather in the early winter morning.
Looking at each other, they nodded at the same time, and then a few small soldiers ran to the hanging corpse outside the city gate to take a look, this look is even more unbelievable, this is obviously a male corpse, look at his corpse is rotten Cheng dΓΉ, dead for more than three hours, the cape covers his face, and his face is not clear to see.
I saw that there was also a white cloth covering his body, and there were several large characters written on the cloth. They know a few words. It's just that the word at a glance made several people's faces change greatly, but they didn't dare to look at it anymore, and they didn't dare to leave it alone, so they had to run back directly to tell the head, and the head's first reaction when he heard the news was not to believe it, and when he ran to see it and confirm that it was true, his face changed greatly, but he couldn't be the master. I had to go and ask my superiors again.
His superior is naturally the captain of the city gate, but this captain of the city gate is also not responsible, and at this time, it happens that Hua Xiong of the Xiliang Army has not left since he sat here last night, and he should be resting in a certain mansion near here at this time, so he continued to report the matter to Hua Xiong.
Because he couldn't see Dong Zhuo last night, he was restless and didn't sleep all night, so that when he got up in the morning, he had two panda eyes that were enough to scare people to death, and Hua Xiong looked quite decadent. But when he heard the news, he quickly washed his face, quickly dressed up, and at the same time asked people to call Dong Yue, who was sleeping in the quilt with a woman in a nearby house, to have something to discuss.
Although Dong Yue was impatient, he knew how big this matter was, if what the city gate commander said was true, he and General Huaxiong might not have a good day today.
He hurriedly dressed and didn't care about the naked and seductive woman on the couch, and followed Hua Xiong under the leadership of the captain of the city gate. Hurried to the city gate. Of course, all the Xiliang soldiers under him have also arrived here, and they have already separated the surroundings. But this did not stop the curious people from rallying around to point and discuss.
Seeing this scene, Hua Xiong's face turned pale, but he didn't speak, but Dong Yue glared at the city gate lieutenant fiercely, and said coldly: "Why haven't you put down the corpse until now, and let people look at it here?" β
The captain of the city gate was sweating profusely when he reprimanded him, and then he went to reprimand the little soldiers: "Why don't you put the corpse down quickly, what are you doing here?" β
A few small soldiers secretly slandered themselves, of course, they didn't dare to resist in the slightest, so they could only silently go up to the city tower to remove the corpse, and there were people below to follow the corpse, at this time, Hua Xiong couldn't take care of the disgusting step forward, the first thing was to remove the long hair of the male corpse, and when he saw that face, he had an urge to vomit, it was really hideous and terrifying, and his face turned blue,
But Hua Xiong can still see this person, this person is Wang Yun, and Dong Yue behind him saw Hua Xiong's expression, and he knew that this person's identity was right.
"How did you die, was it hanged?" Hua Xiong muttered to himself, his heart full of doubts.
Dong Yue stepped forward at this time and carefully checked the neck of the corpse, just now he was tied with a rope around his neck and hung on the city wall, at this time there were obvious strangulation marks on his neck, it stands to reason that Hua Xiong's guess should be the same, but Dong Yue felt that it was not so simple, he couldn't help but think that if this was the case, could it be that Wang Yun didn't struggle at that time?
Dong Yue looks rough on the outside, but he is not reckless, he is very smart and meticulous, he noticed that there may be something wrong with this, and his eyes unconsciously shifted to the white cloth strip wrapped in Wang Yun's naked body, only to see the bloody "Dahan Situ Wang Yun damned" eight big characters in the seal, which is so dazzling in the morning light, but what is even more surprising is that there is actually a line of small characters in the lower right corner of those four big characters, which reads "Dong Zhongyingli", Dong Yue suddenly felt that his mind was in a mess.
The scene in front of him was also something he didn't expect, he saw Hua Xiong in the same shock, obviously he was the same, but he reacted faster than Hua Xiong, deliberately covering the sight of the city gate lieutenant behind him, seeing that Hua Xiong looked back and there were doubts in his eyes, he knew that if he didn't make it clear, General Hua might make him look good, so he leaned into his ear and whispered: "Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, whether it is really related to Xiangguo, but this matter is very important, and it must not be seen by others at present, otherwise it may be unfavorable to Xiangguo." β
Although Hua Xiong didn't think about it so much, Dong Yue said it so clearly, but he understood, so he didn't ask anymore, but remembered something, so he asked Dong Yue: "Then what should we do now, bring the corpse and cloth back to Xiangguo?" β
Dong Yue was also thinking about it, but it was not Hua Xiong's question, but the cause of Wang Yun's death, he knew that the Third Duke's Mansion itself was very close to Kaiyang Gate, almost separated by a gate street and a piece of dwellings in the middle, it was not difficult to carry a dead body through such a distance and then hang the corpse at the city gate at night, the difficult thing was to avoid the detection of so many city gate guards, especially last night, there were Xiliang soldiers roaming and patrolling nearby, if Wang Yun died before being hung on the city tower, this can explain why the defenders on the city tower did not hear the movement, but how did the murderer escape the eyes and ears to do this?
Dong Yue was a little puzzled, but he had an answer to Hua Xiong's question, and he said to Hua Xiong: "This matter should not only be reported to the Xiangguo Mansion to know, but also reported to the Marquis of Yangting." β
The Marquis of Yangting is Li Ru, and his fiefdom is in Yangting in the western suburbs of Luoyang. Dong Yue is also an old man in the Xiliang Army. It's just that he is more judgmental of the situation, so he is not called Li Rujun like Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong naturally had no objection, Dong Yue's words were in line with him, and he didn't know if Li Ru was still in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, and it was necessary to go to the Yangting Hou Mansion to report.
β¦β¦
In the Xiangfu of Maolong Garden, Li Ru saw the corpse and cloth strips brought by Hua Xiong in the lobby, Hua Xiong told Li Ru in detail about the matter, and Li Ru just nodded. But he was carefully observing the scars on the corpse's neck and the expression on the hideous face.
He suddenly raised his head and asked Hua Xiong: "Zijian just said that Dong Yue thinks that this Wang Yun did not die by hanging, but had another cause of death?" β
Hua Xiong was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly: "Not bad." β
Li Ru asked again: "Then has he lifted this strip of cloth?" β
Hua Xiong scratched his head, and his face was puzzled: "What do you do when you lift the strip of cloth, who can see the old man's body?" β
"So to speak. This Dong Yue is a talent. β
Hua Xiong was speechless, he didn't expect Li Ru to come to such a conclusion after watching it for a long time, and hurriedly asked, "So this Wang Yun was not hanged?" β
"Of course it's not hanged...... Li Ru had already stood up at this time, he thought about it for a long time, and finally left here, and he wouldn't say a word to Hua Xiong as to where he went.
Hua Xiong wanted to follow, but he was afraid of being reprimanded back, so he looked at the corpse wrapped in strips of cloth and suddenly asked, "Then how did this Wang Yun die?" β
In the distance, Li Ru's voice came back: "Lift the cloth and take a look?" β
Hua Xiong suddenly didn't want to know. But curiosity kills the cat. Li Ru's footsteps gradually faded away and dissipated, and then looked at the surroundings anyway. He itched in his heart again, thinking that the military advisor would not lie to himself, and although he was not rare to see, he was not afraid to look at the old man's body, thinking of this, he lifted the corner of the cloth slightly, and his face suddenly darkened, and he really saw something that should not be seen, so old and so capital, Hua Xiong couldn't help but complain in his heart, and then remembered the "business" and quickly lifted it again, stunned.
Sure enough, it wasn't hanged, a wound on the chest was so big, even if it wasn't a fatal wound, it would have to die if it bleeds too much.
At this time, Li Ru had already returned to Dong Zhuo's room and reported the matter to Dong Zhuo in full.
"Who did that?" Dong Zhuo just finished listening, and then shouted loudly.
Wang Yun actually died at this time, it was simply the most fucked up thing, and without Li Ru's reminder, he could think of many possibilities and consequences at once.
Li Ru said: "Father-in-law, as soon as this Wang Yun dies, I'm afraid the situation will be very unfavorable to my father-in-law." β
Dong Zhuo had already calmed down at this time, thought of something, and when he heard Li Ru's words, he blurted out nonchalantly: "Death is death, what does it have to do with me, anyway, I didn't let you do it." β
Li Ru said in a deep voice: "How can my father-in-law prove it?" β
Dong Zhuogang wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of something, and then the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, and his face became gloomy, as if it was brewing before a storm.
Li Ru sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's Confucian's miscalculation, I didn't expect this Lu Fengxian to dare to make such a move." β
Dong Zhuo didn't believe it, "Did Lu Bu do it?" β
Li Ru said: "It doesn't matter who did it now, what matters is the father-in-law's response." Originally, we planned that after the storm ended, we would take advantage of the fact that my father-in-law was seriously injured to show weakness, and at the same time, we would find a good reason for Wang Yun and Xun Shuang to find a good reason to do so, and we would make outsiders have nothing to say and achieve the goal, no matter what, Wang Yun should not die at this time. β
He took a deep breath and continued: "What's more, father-in-law, if Confucianism is changed to Lu Fengxian's perspective, then the murderer should have been ambushed at this time, and it is more likely that all the unfavorable evidence related to it will point to the father-in-law. β
Dong Zhuo stood up, so angry that his body was trembling, "Lu Fengxian ......"
Li Ru said: "Ru personally went to Lu Mansion to have a look." β
Dong Zhuo stopped him and wondered, "Shouldn't Lu Fengxian be in the Bingzhou military camp at this time?" β
Li Ru said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, then Naru will wait for him to come back in Nafu......" (To be continued.) )
