Chapter 75: Knowing the Benefits
Lu Jinping said: "You can stay in my Datang with peace of mind first, it's rare to come here." ”
Yunzi smiled and said, "I think the same way, so we will wait patiently here, by the way, you go into the house and sit down, sit down and talk." ”
They had already walked to the flower hall in the front hall, and then entered the flower hall and sat down the guests. A Tibetan maid stepped forward to serve tea.
Lu Jinping said to Yun Ying: "I actually came to visit mainly for a case, and a female corpse was found in a grove outside the city. It is likely that he died in homicide or an accident, and when we were investigating, there were eyewitnesses who testified that you saw the vulture that night and you were driving a red carriage running wild in the middle of the night, and this female beggar was passing by and was hit by your car, so I came to verify the matter. ”
With that, he looked at the vulture.
The vulture looked visibly flustered, and looked at her sister pleadingly. Yunzi was a little surprised, glanced back, and said to Lu Jinping: "Are you talking about my brother's carriage hitting and killing this female beggar?" ”
"We have to investigate this matter, and now there are eyewitnesses who have witnessed that you saw your brother hit this female beggar with his car, so I hope your brother can tell us the whole story."
The vulture said, "No, I didn't hit anyone, I slept at home that day." I didn't go anywhere, how could I hit someone! ”
Lu Jinping sneered: "I haven't said what day it is, how can you be sure that you were sleeping that day?" It's clearly talking. ”
The cloud vulture was even more flustered, and he forced his words: "I've been sleeping a lot these days." ”
Lu Jinping said: "Are you sleeping or going out to call friends to drink, we can find out this as soon as we check, I hope to find out that you are not lying, otherwise, the cousin of the Tubo envoy Zan Puqi with Zhu Dan, if it is a person who talks nonsense to his face, it can prove that you Tubo is not sincere in asking for marriage at all, I will report this matter to the court, I am afraid that the emperor will again consider your sincerity in asking for marriage." ”
As soon as he heard this, Yun Zi turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinping and said, "Sir, is this threatening us?" ”
Lu Jinping also looked at her, and said lightly: "Our Tang Dynasty has a letter to what he says, since our emperor promised to make peace, he will send the princess to Tubo, but when you welcome your relatives, if Zampu's cousin commits a murder in the hall, but he is unwilling to tell the truth honestly, then this matter is not a trivial matter, and I must report it to the imperial court." Of course, I would like to believe that this beggar was not killed by you, but you must make it clear where you were at the time, and we will verify it one by one, and we will not wronged you. What we need is the truth. ”
Yun Vulture sneered: "Isn't he just a beggar?" If you're dead, you're dead, and I'll pay him a sum of money. ”
Lu Jinping said coldly: "Aren't you Tibetan beggars human?" ”
"Sir, you can't say that!" Yunzi's face was quite unhappy, "In our Tubo, whether it is a bird flying in the sky or a fish swimming in the river, as long as there is life, we will cherish it, let alone a living person." The beggars begging on the street, we will also give money, and when the beggars are sick, we will also send them for treatment, how can we not be looked at? ”
"But your brother's attitude is not the same as when he tells you."
Yun Vulture knew that he was wrong, so he smiled wryly and said, "I didn't mean that, I just said that if I bumped into her, I would be willing to lose money, that's what it meant." ”
Lu Jinping said: "Are you admitting that you hit someone? ”
"I didn't hit anyone, I said it, I was in ...... for the past few days" He just said this, and remembered that Lu Jinping just said that he would verify, if it turns out that he lied, it would affect his relatives, so he changed his words and said: "Okay, I admit that I went out that day, but I really didn't hit anyone." ”
Lu Jinping said: "I have reminded you that your identity is the envoy of Tubo, and you are a relative of Tubo Zampu, and your status is noble and special, and your words and deeds are likely to affect whether this peace can be successfully successful." Because you are now involved in a murder case, you must cooperate with our yamen in a prudent manner to investigate this case, which I have repeatedly emphasized. ”
Yunzi arched his hand and said, "Sir, please rest assured, if it was my brother who did it, what would it do." Since my brother said it wasn't him, it wasn't him. If the lord insists that it was my brother who killed your beggar in the Tang Dynasty, then please come up with evidence, otherwise please respect our Tibetan envoys, and don't speculate on groundlessness. ”
Lu Jinping said lightly: "Of course I have evidence, at least there are eyewitnesses who have proved that they saw your brother driving your family's unique red lacquered carriage, and hit someone on the street in the middle of the night, can you confirm that it is your brother, is this kind of evidence not called evidence?" ”
"Since you have evidence, then what are you going to investigate, why don't you just arrest someone?"
Lu Jinping secretly wondered in his heart, this woman's eyes were very different, and she actually saw that her evidence was not enough. Indeed, the fact that eyewitnesses did not witness the collision with their own eyes, nor did they witness the death of a beggar, is not convincing enough.
Lu Jinping stood up and said, "Since the girl has already said that she wants evidence, then I need to look at your brother's carriage and look for evidence, I don't know if the girl will allow it?" ”
"If you want to search the residence of our Tibetan envoys, I'm afraid it's not up to you. At least you have to report to your Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and then consult with the Ministry of Rites and Rites to jointly approve the document before you can search our home. ”
"You don't have the bottom of your heart, and you're worried about finding out the evidence, right? I believe that if it was really your brother who did it, he had enough time to clean up the evidence in the past two days, and I might not be able to find any evidence. I just used this to test it, but I didn't expect you to lose confidence all of a sudden. In this case, as you said, I will report this matter to the assassin history, and the assassin will report it to the emperor for decision. At that time, I was afraid that I would have to do business, and if the emperor knew the truth, I don't know if the emperor wanted to reconsider the matter of harmony. ”
Upon hearing this, Yunzi and Yunhu couldn't help but change color on their faces. This time, they came as envoys to make peace.
Previously, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought for many years, and each other won and lost. However, the people on the border have suffered for many years, and their lives have been devastated, and neither side has received any real benefits. So, after the new Zamp succeeded to the throne, because of his young age, he was regent by his grandmother. This old grandmother missed the calm and harmonious relationship between Princess Wencheng and her relatives in Tibet, and between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, so she decided to send envoys to ask for relatives again in order to repair the relationship with the Tang Dynasty. This time, Yunzi and they came as envoys to make peace with each other, not to cause trouble, if the elder brother really killed someone in Datang this time, it would not be a trivial matter, it would be better to find out. lest it really affect the harmony.
Thinking of this, Yunzi said: "Since the lord said this, then we will also listen to the lord's words, and I also hope that the lord can find out this case as soon as possible and return my brother's innocence." ”
"Whether you are innocent or not, you have to use evidence to speak. Then I have to take you to the stables and see your carriage. ”
Hearing that her sister had promised to let the government investigate the case, Yun Ying's face was even paler, and she didn't dare to say more, so she led them to the stable.
Lu Jinping looked at Yun Vulture's sturdy back and wondered a little, seeing that he was so strong, he thought that he must be a master of art and bold, but he didn't expect to be so timid, he was already afraid of being like this before he checked, could it be that he really killed the female beggar? If this is the case, then this matter is really troublesome, because it involves the issue of peace between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, but I am afraid that it is not so easy to deal with.
When I came to the stable, I saw several horses inside, some napping, some turning back and forth, and several carriages beside them, all of which were painted vermilion.
Lu Jinping asked Yun Ying, "Which carriage were you driving that night?" ”
Yun Vulture said: "This, I can't remember, I drank a little too much that day, anyway, there are only a few carriages in our house, you can check it." ”
Lu Jinping looked at the bulging wheels, and couldn't help but move, the fracture of the deceased's right leg should be a crushing injury caused by the wheels being crushed, which would cause the tearing displacement of the skin surface.
If it is a vehicle run over in modern society, it will generally leave some crushing marks on the skin to show tire pattern marks, and when the wheel rolls over the body, it may cause skin tearing displacement. However, the weight of the carriage in the Tang Dynasty was relatively light, and the wheels of the carriage were relatively narrow and there were no tires, so there were no wheel marks on the skin, which made him not think at once that it was a fracture caused by the wheel.
