Chapter 49: Another Murder
"Kill people?"
After listening to Mu Tianjiao's story, Yue Su was surprised in his heart, the murder should have been caused by a traffic accident, but after hitting and killing someone, he was afraid of taking responsibility, so he just left, why not even let go of a child?
In this year, the people's hearts are still simple, there are old ladies on the street who fall, and the big guys are all rushing forward to help; When a traffic accident occurs on the street, except for some bullies, the perpetrators will come forward to help and take the initiative to treat them. How can anyone kill a child after hitting and killing someone?
After thinking about it for a while, Yue Su probably knew it in his heart. Horses are quite expensive, and those who can afford to ride horses must be rich people, and these ordinary people, who avoid rich and powerful people, how dare they offend, so the suspicion of deliberate murder is very low. Needless to say, the perpetrators must be rich and unkind. But it's a little wrong to think about it, if it's an ordinary bully, it's not fake to bully others, but it's not so bad that you kill a child because you hit someone, and there was no monitoring in that era, what can a child understand, unless the child knows the identity of the perpetrator, and the perpetrator is worried that the child will report it. With this attitude, Yue Su asked, "Does that kid know the origin of the other party?" ”
Mu Tianjiao shook her head slightly and said, "I asked the kid, and he said that he didn't know the other party's coming." By the way, it's just that the child said that when he fell to the ground, he vaguely heard someone shouting the little prince. ”
Little Prince!
As soon as he heard this, Yue Su's heart was shocked. Don't say it's him, even Zou Jiaren, who was sitting on the side, also "chuckled" in his heart. He sat beside him, his eyes staring directly at the ring below, but his ears were always listening to the two of them. Around Kaifeng, there is only one prince, and that is King Zhou. Zou Jiaren knew this, and of course Yue Su also knew.
"Little Prince...... Little Wang Ye ......" Yue Su muttered to himself in his heart, but soon understood that the reason why the perpetrator wanted to kill people must have revealed his identity. A nobleman of the clan who kills someone in the city is nothing, and no one will take care of it. But if it's outside the city, that's a different story. Don't say anything else, if you don't ask for a decree when you go out of the city, and don't say that you don't kill or don't kill someone, just a foreign vassal leaving the fief without a decree is enough for you.
Mu Tianjiao saw that Yue Su didn't speak, and thought that he didn't mention it anymore because he knew that the other party was the prince and had a concern, or because he knew that he couldn't do anything to the other party.
Yue Su didn't speak, and she couldn't continue. He changed his words and said: "Lord Yue, I heard that the Longmen Grottoes are the best in the world, and when we are free, let's go up and have a look." ”
Then Yue Su didn't pick up her stubble, and after a while, he suddenly said: "What about the prince, the horse hit and killed someone, and he was already at fault first, but he didn't repent, but instead intensified, intending to kill people and kill people." The person who was killed was still a child, so inferior to a beast, the ministry didn't know it, and since he knew, how could he ignore it. ”
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Where is the child now?" ”
"The child is sleeping in the car." Mu Tianjiao saw Yue Su getting angry, but her tone became gentle.
"Take me there." After Yue Su finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Mu Tianjiao hurriedly stood up, and then followed. Jin Chan and the others hurriedly followed, Ruan Aoyue and the other female dependents stopped sitting, and when they saw Yue Su getting angry, they all wanted to see what was going on.
Wang Linhe, who was on the side, didn't know what to do, and turned his head to look at Zou Jiaren, wanting to see what he meant. Unexpectedly, Lord Zou also stood up and walked down. This time, Wang Helin could only keep up.
Yue Su stepped down from the stands, but before he could take two steps, he heard thunderous cheers from the surrounding stands. "Yes, yes!" "Absolutely!" …… Seeing the enthusiastic cheers, Yue Su couldn't help but look towards the ring. I saw a boy in white, standing in the ring with a graceful demeanor, and opposite him was a scholar in a green robe. The green-robed scholar arched his hand at this time and said, "Brother Zhang's talent is quick, and the younger brother admires it." ”
"Brother Wei's talent, the younger brother also admires it very much, it is a fluke to be able to show Brother Wei's absoluteness." The man in white said humbly.
The literati are like this, they are always sour. The green-robed scholar didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the ring. But at this moment, I heard an "ah" cry in the ring, and the man in white fell to the ground on his back.
Seeing this scene, many of the people present exclaimed, Yue Su was also stunned, and then rushed directly to the ring. Jin Cicada and Tie Qiu did not slack off, and hurriedly followed, and the guards and errand soldiers also ran towards the ring.
Because of the proximity of the prefect Shi Tong, under the escort of the officials, he was the first to enter the ring, let the messenger test his snort, and the messenger squatted down, and then said: "My lord, the person is dead." ”
"How...... How could this be......" Shi Tong was startled. At this moment, Yue Su rushed into the ring and asked, "How are people?" ”
"Back to my lord, people...... People died. Shi Tong hurriedly replied.
"Dead?" Yue Su said suspiciously: "Good and dignified, how can you say that death is death?" ”
"The lower officials don't know." Shi Tong said, turned around and shouted: "Spread the work, pass it quickly." ”
Today is the Longmen Club, and no one expected that something would happen, so the government didn't follow. Seeing the summons of the adults, the servants were dumbfounded, and one of the officers said weakly: "My lord, I didn't come, but I have sent someone to find him." ”
After getting this answer, Shi Tong's face was difficult to look at, after all, Lord Yue was in front of him, and no one had an autopsy, which was really a bit dereliction of duty. At the moment, he shouted: "Don't ride back yet!" ”
"Yes!" The messenger received the order, and was just about to turn around and leave, when he heard Yue Su say: "No need, the headquarters is here with a servant." Jin Cicada, call our pretends. ”
Yue Su's guard of honor naturally has to be equipped with everything, there are medical officers with the army, and there must also be servants.
Jin Cicada called a guard and told him to hurry up and shout. By the time the work arrived, there were already people gathering around the ring. After a while, he got up and said, "Lord Qiqi, there are no injuries on this person's body, and there are no signs of poisoning, so he should have died of sudden heart disease." ”
"How could it be so coincidental?" Yue Su didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but believe it. Because he witnessed it with his own eyes, the boy in white had just been fine in the ring, and suddenly screamed and fell down, if it wasn't for some heart disease, it wouldn't have been.
Regarding Yue Su's questioning, he just hung his head. Yue Su personally walked to the corpse and examined it carefully, but he really didn't find any clues. I took the silver needle and pierced it into my lower abdomen, and after taking it out, there was still no abnormality. Even so, Yue Su had nothing to say, no matter how he said it, judging from Gongzi's previous performance, there was no possibility of external injury. Let the people of the academy collect the corpse by themselves, and he led people to Mu Tianjiao's honor guard.
In a carriage, Yue Su saw the child, the child looked very afraid, and when he saw the living person, he immediately curled up to the corner of the car. It was Zhu'er who stepped forward to enlighten and said that Yue Su was not a bad person, and he calmed down.
Yue Su asked, and the child's answer was basically consistent with what Mu Tianjiao said, and the only clue was the sentence "Little Wangye".
When such a case occurred, Yue Su had no intention of staying here any longer, and immediately ordered to return to Kaifeng. Let the guards say hello to the prefect of Kaifeng, and leave with the surname of Etiquette and King Fu. As soon as he left, Zou Jiaren and Wang Linhe couldn't stay any longer, and after resigning from King Fu, they left together.
When Yue Su left Longmen Mountain for about an hour, the square under Longmen Mountain became agitated. Because, the body of the man in white changed, and his face turned from white to black, showing obvious traces of poisoning.
Lord Yue left in a hurry, and the officials in Luoyang, headed by Shi Tong, were too late to be happy, how could they invite him back again. Isn't it just a murder case, what is it, the prefect can still try it. In the world, you are not the only one who will judge the case.
In a small bright hall, Wen Tian sat expressionlessly on the chair below, while Han Lian and Zimei stood respectfully behind him. I didn't know what Wentian was trying to write, so I sat there silently, holding a folding fan in my right hand, and repeatedly tapping it on my left palm.
After a while, the boy walked in, his face was full of reluctance, and after he came in, he casually bowed his hand to Wen Tianyi and said, "Uncle Tian." He walked over to the upper hand and sat down.
After sitting down, Childe said again: "I have something to do, Uncle Tian, what did you call me to do?" ”
Wentian said indifferently: "Did Childe get into trouble again last time he went out?" ”
Childe smiled casually and said, "They should have told you, it's the little prince who killed someone by riding a horse, what big deal can it be." ”
"Childe are sure everyone is dead?" Wentian looked at Childe.
"Do you still need me to say this? They could see clearly that the man was killed on the spot, and his son was also killed by my people. Childe said absentmindedly.
"Really?" Wentian chuckled lightly and said, "That old man just sent someone to send an urgent message, saying that the child was not dead, not only did he not die, but he was also saved by the county lord of the Qianguo Mansion, and now it has fallen into the hands of Yue Su. ”
"What!" When Childe heard this, he was so frightened that he almost didn't jump up, his eyes widened, and he didn't have the indifferent look he had before.
Wentian just looked at the son now, without saying a word, after a while, it was the son, who rubbed his chest and said: "What can I do even if I don't die, half-grown child, what do you know, we are going out in civilian clothes, how can he know our identity." Yue Su is not an immortal, how can it be found on our heads after such a long time. ”
"It stands to reason that this should be the case, the child doesn't know the identity of the son, but he overheard the sentence 'little prince', in Kaifeng City, only King Zhou's family can be called the prince. If you follow this clue, you can't find anyone. Wen Tian said lightly.
"What can this be, even if he knows that it was the 'little prince' who did it, does he Yue Su still have the courage to go to the palace to arrest people?" Gongzi said with a smile: "Uncle Tian, I see that you and your father are too nervous, which makes Yue Su frightened. ”
"The master and I really scared Yue Su, it has only been how long this Yue Su has been governor of Henan, and he has already won the title of 'Yue Shaved Head'. He killed so many people, and the court not only did not reproach him, but also just crowned him as the crown prince Shaobao, what an honor. How many courtiers are afraid that they will not have this honor in their lifetime. What can the palace do, don't you dare to arrest people when he Yue Su? This thing should be done in the city, but it is a pity that it is outside the city, not to mention anything else, just a foreign vassal leaving the fief privately, plotting against the wrongdoing, is enough for King Zhou to drink a pot. When Yue Su takes someone, he will not be able to confess you, and he Yue Su may not dare to kill the prince directly, but it is still easy to kill you. ”
