Chapter 80: Destroying the Evidence
"Who dare?" Bao Xuan was also out of the way, remembering his father's explanation just now, although he scolded himself, but Bao Xuan also knew that the only thing he could fight for now was time.
Suddenly, Feng Manlou asked, "Master Juren, do you remember this official?" ”
Bao Xuan was stunned for a moment, he was still tense just now, why did all of a sudden, the tone of the wind full of buildings came to a 120-degree turn?
Bao Xuan said, "My lord, what do you want to do?" ”
Feng Manlou said with a smile: "Don't do anything, now Ling Zun is probably going to destroy the evidence." The official had already expected that you were delaying time here, so why shouldn't the official? I'm afraid that now, Ling Zun has been taken down! ”
Bao Xuan was doubting Feng Manlou's words, but he heard a voice behind him say, "Xuan'er, look at our house!" ”
It was Bao Ping's voice, and the two people behind were Sun Hu and Wang Ying. It turned out that just now, before Feng Manlou came in, he let the two sneak in secretly. It's not that Feng Manlou knew that this would happen, but that Feng Manlou heard the movement inside outside.
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, after seeing his father being arrested, he still couldn't help but want to come to the rescue, and Bao Ping seemed to have guessed Bao Xuan's thoughts, and said: "Leave me alone, take care of the family, I'll be back soon!" ”
Sun Hu stepped forward and handed the things in his hand to Feng Manlou, who flipped through it, but saw that it was an account book, only to see that a few pages were missing from it.
This is a book of accounting records, which records in detail the payment of river workers, which have been used from eight years ago to the present. However, some of the above fund flows are completely missing, and they should be the missing pages.
Where the money went, it was obvious that Bao Ping was going to destroy it.
Sun Hu said: "My lord, when Wang Ying and I went in, this old boy was burning this account book, and we couldn't rescue it, so we only rescued these ones!" ”
The Bao family's house has no place worth staying in, Feng Manlou looked at Bao Xuan and said, "It's good to do it yourself!" ”
Bao Xuan's age is so much older than Feng Manlou, and when he heard people say this to himself, he felt very uncomfortable, but why did people say this to themselves, this is status.
In the Great Song Dynasty, only being an official could be regarded as having status. Even the former Bao family had a status in Yuhang, but they were arrested by the people of the yamen who said that Bao Ping was taken away.
This stimulus let Bao Xuan know that only when you are an official can you have status, and only when you are an official can you have a way to make money.
Dong Chao said: "My lord, let's go!" ”
Feng Manlou froze in place, constantly thinking in his mind, why did Bao Ping destroy those account books, it stands to reason that the destruction should be his own, but it is the account of Dian'an and Jiang Yufeng that is destroyed, there must be something wrong with it.
Why did he destroy it, it was nothing more than to protect the two masters, but just to protect the two masters, what good did it do to himself, was he waiting for the two masters to save him?
After thinking about it, I thought it was very likely! Since the two of them can get an official position in the imperial court, there must be some way, and there should be a way to save a Bao Ping.
At this time, I suddenly saw the fire in the city, and the fire was blazing, and it had burned half of the sky.
Zhao Ziliang looked at it and said, "It's not good! The direction of my home! ”
Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Sun Hu, escort the prisoner back to the cell, you must be strictly guarded, and you will not leave an inch!" ”
At this time, the rest of the people followed Zhao Ziliang's footsteps and ran in the direction of the fire. When I arrived at the scene, I found that the entire scene had been lit with fire.
All the surrounding houses were damaged, and people ran out of the gates, crying outside. In the face of this raging fire, Feng Manlou only felt that his heart was already boiling, and he burned down a whole row of four houses at once, and the arsonist was really unconscionable.
Feng Manlou hurriedly organized the officials to put out the fire, and quickly dismantled all the flammable materials connected in the middle of the houses that had not yet been burned but were about to burn, and now there was no point in rescuing.
After being busy for a while, the fire was finally controlled within a range, but the burning houses could not be rescued at all, although there were still many people with wooden basins, barrels and other large water, trying to extinguish the fire, but it was completely ineffective.
This night, Yuhang City was burned down like this. The raging fire could be seen throughout Yuhang City.
And at this moment, he saw that Zhao Ziliang was crazy, wanting to rush in like a fire, and shouted loudly: "Melan, Melan, where are you?" ”
The voice is sad and desperate! Feng Manlou couldn't help but look at him twice, he didn't expect this man to be such an amorous person.
If it weren't for everyone to hold on, it is estimated that this Zhao Ziliang would have run in.
They must have deliberately planted this fire in order to destroy the ledger. It's just that this murderer is too cruel, you can just go in and take the ledger, why do you have to burn down the whole house?
Feng Manlou faintly felt that behind the scenes of this fire, there seemed to be some hidden secrets!
After two hours, the fire burned everything that could be burned, and then it slowly went out, and the people around the fire were able to approach the fire and use wooden basins and barrels to extinguish it.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that the fire was completely extinguished.
Feng Manlou walked into the scene with everyone, and a group of catchers outside were on guard.
Although there was a fire, the ground was made of stone, and it was still possible to separate the layout of the room. Under the leadership of Zhao Ziliang, he walked into the scene of the Zhao family's house.
After Zhao Ziliang entered the door, he only cared about his wife, and after a while, he finally found Jiang Yulan's body in the bedroom.
The corpse had been scorched and began to curl, Zhao Ziliang looked at it carefully before he said, "This is the cheap!" ”
When all the corpses were gathered, Wu De had already gone to the autopsy.
Wu Decai had already been invited by Feng Manlou, inspected it in detail, and said: "My lord, these corpses have already been burned beyond recognition, but they can distinguish between men and women, a total of six corpses, including three men and three women!" ”
Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment and said, "What? There's one more corpse, and it's a male corpse! ”
When Feng Manlou heard this, he asked, "What did you say?" One more? ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "Yes, there are a total of five people in the villain's family, one is a cheap one, and the other is a maid in the cheap one. There is also a maid who calls, and the rest is an old janitor, and a subordinate who does some rough work! ”
"Can you tell which corpse is extra out?" Feng Manlou asked.
Zhao Ziliang said: "It should be possible! The old man who guards the door is a hunchback! And that subordinate, although he has more strength, but oh his head is bigger! ”
It seems to be really distinctive. Soon, the superfluous body was found. The other corpses, Feng Manlou didn't pay much attention to them, but this extra corpse!
Why is there an extra corpse and who is he? After experience, I only know that this corpse is a man, a little more than five feet tall, and it should be one meter seventy-five, which is considered a relatively tall height.
Wu Decai said: "My lord, this corpse is a man, and the knuckles of his fingers are somewhat damaged, he should be a person who knows martial arts!" ”
A person who knows martial arts, if he went to Zhao Ziliang's house to get the account book, why was he killed again?
Could it be that another person killed him and took away the ledger, in order to extinguish the mouth, so he set the fire to him, and the purpose of the fire must be to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces. In other words, this person is the person he has ever met.
Someone you've ever seen, and who knows martial arts? So who should this person be?
After a day and a night, I didn't close my eyes, Feng Manlou only felt very tired, and now my head was still groggy, no, I must take a rest, and if I continue like this, I have to get neurotic!
Sometimes I think that whatever the dam is, as long as he repairs it himself.
It doesn't matter what life and death book he has, he can't get it, but after thinking about it, it still can't be done, this life and death book has his own name, and he still has the responsibility to get it. I fell asleep in a daze.
Before returning to the yamen, Feng Manlou had already fallen asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dark. Feng Manlou was surprised for a while, remembering that he had just fallen asleep at dawn, why is it dawning again now?
Feng Manlou hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun!" ”
Xiao Yunfeng ran in in a hurry and said, "Young Master, what are your orders?" ”
Feng Manlou asked, "What is it now?" ”
Xiaoyun said: "Young master, you don't know, you fainted on the way back to the Yamen, Lang Zhong came to see it, and said that he was too tired and needed to rest." I didn't expect the young master to sleep for a day and a night! ”
"What? One day and one night? Feng Manlou panicked for a while and said, "Quick, quickly call Xue Ba in!" ”
Xue Ba had already been waiting outside, and the first thing he said after coming in was: "My lord, Yan Yanchang is dead!" ”
Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, dead?
"How's it going?" Feng Manlou asked.
Xue Ba said: "The subordinates have already asked people to protect the scene, and they have already experienced the corpse, so the subordinates will ask someone to take a look!" ”
Feng Manlou decided to go to the scene on the spot to have a look.
A fire burned the evidence in Zhao Ziliang's hands, and a burst of fire protected the criminals behind him. Now, Yan Yanchang's death may be the only breakthrough.
When Feng Manlou was about to go out, he found a familiar figure, it was Zheng Shulin from the lime mine, Master Zheng!
Seeing Feng Manlou coming out, Zheng Shulin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, I can be regarded as finding you." The villain has been waiting here for a long time, and these officials just don't report to the villain! ”
Feng Manlou asked, "What's wrong?" Did you tell you to burn the raw meal? ”
Zheng Shulin said: "Yes, my lord, after those things were burned, they were black, and we added water, but they solidified into a ball, and they were very hard, much harder than lime!" ”
"It seems that our cement has been successfully developed!" Feng Manlou said. This is the only gratifying news in the past few days.
Zheng Shulin asked, "Do you want to use this thing called cement to build a dam?" ”
Feng Manlou smiled: "Exactly! But how about the quality, we have to see again, and maybe it needs to be improved. In this way, you go back first, the official has some things to deal with, and when it is done, come to the mine to have a look! ”
