Chapter 108: Murder in the Yamen

The brocade guards also pulled out their waist knives with a loud noise, blocking the way of those people. The little black dog also grinned and threatened. Those entourages didn't dare to clash head-on with Jinyiwei, especially the one in front of them, but Jinyiwei had six products and hundreds of households, and he didn't dare to do anything if he was given a few guts, and Wang Tongzhi didn't know anything.

Yang Qiuchi pulled Wang Tongzhi behind the screen. Wang Tongzhi's face turned white with fright, and he stammered and asked, "You...... You want...... What are you doing? ”

Yang Qiuchi reached into his arms and touched something, and smiled mysteriously: "I have a baby for you to open your eyes." He stretched out his hand and stretched out in front of Wang Tongzhi.

Wang Tongzhi glanced at it suspiciously, it was an ivory waist card, and he looked at the words on it in a flash, his body trembled, and he stretched out his head to take a closer look.

Yang Qiuchi slapped the thing in Wang Tongzhi's palm: "Take it and see it carefully!" ”

Wang Tongzhi's hands have begun to tremble, although he didn't completely see it clearly just now, however, he had roughly guessed what it was, carefully took it over, and took a closer look, the ivory waist card read: "Yang Qiuchi, the special envoy of the Jinyi Guard's commanding envoy", turned over and looked, and was so frightened that he almost knelt down, only to see that it was written: "Obey the order as one, and if there is a person who resists the order, cut it first and then play." ”

"Tongzhi-sama, do you see clearly?" Yang Qiuchi asked with a smile, "I'm here to investigate the Jianwen case with Lord Niu Baihu, and Lord Tongzhi suddenly came, I don't know if Lord Tongzhi wants to hide something, or if I don't like my brother Guan Jianwen's remaining party?" ”

Wang Tongzhi was so frightened that his hands were like sifting chaff: "Despicable ...... Humble ...... ...... of lowly duties" said three lowly duties in a row, but he couldn't say the next sentence.

After Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the "Battle of Jingjing", overthrew Emperor Jianwen, and became the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, in order to consolidate his position, he carried out a cruel struggle and ruthless attack on Jianwen's cronies. The cruelty of Ming Chengzu's treatment of Jianwen's cronies is famous in history. Of course, Wang Tongzhi knew that if he was linked to the Jianwen case, not only himself, but also the eight generations of his ancestors would be unlucky.

When Zhu Di invaded Nanjing, the palace had become a sea of fire, and later found a few charred bones, Zhu Di did not believe that Jianwen had been burned to death, and has not relaxed the search for Emperor Jianwen, and sent Hu Ying and others to secretly search for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen throughout the country.

The reason why Yang Qiuchi was personally ordered by the emperor Ming Chengzu and appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard was because Yang Qiuchi successively captured important figures in Jianwen's Yu Party, and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was overjoyed, hoping that Yang Qiuchi could finally capture Jianwen, so he gave Yang Qiuchi the great privilege of cutting first and then playing, so as to eliminate all interference and finally capture Jianwen's henchman.

The official document sent by the emperor to command the envoy of Jinyiwei to be responsible for investigating the Jianwen case has been sent to Jinyiwei and local governments throughout the country. The ivory waist card just now has already explained that this young man is the envoy of the Jinyi Guard, and the official document has already explained that if there is a disobedience to the envoy's order, it will be cut first and then played.

Wang Tongzhi understands, not to mention that he is a small Tongzhi, the princes and ministers who are much older than him, related to Jianwen, I don't know how many Jinyiwei have been killed, no wonder he is scared like a quail in the water.

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Is there anything else that Lord Tongzhi doesn't understand?" ”

Wang Tongzhi was about to kneel down as soon as his knees were weak, but he was pulled by Yang Qiuchi: "My lord, stand up straight, remember, my identity must not be exposed, otherwise...... Humph......"

Wang Tongzhi nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said in a trembling voice: "The lowly position understands, the lowly position deserves to die, I don't know that the envoy is here to investigate the case, the lowly position should be damned!" ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "Okay, let's go out." ”

Yang Qiuchi put his arm around Wang Tongzhi's shoulders, and the two walked out of the screen.

Wang Tongzhi walked up to his brother-in-law and slapped him hard, causing the brother-in-law to sit on the ground. Wang Tongzhi roared: "You bastard, these uncles are good friends of this mansion, drinking and having fun here, you don't give Lao Tzu a good treat, but you also want to cause trouble, don't you let Lao Tzu climb over and kowtow to a few uncles to make amends?" ”

When the brother-in-law saw Wang Tongzhi turn out from behind the screen, he changed into a whole person, and knew that these people were indeed fairy farts--extraordinary, so frightened that he crawled over on his knees with a sad face, and kowtowed again and again to make amends.

Wang Tongzhi walked up to the old bustard again and kicked her fat buttocks: "Why don't you go and find a few more beautiful girls to come, so that you can serve these uncles and bring the best wine and food." If you neglect these masters, Lao Tzu will rip off your fat and feed it to the dogs! ”

The old bustard cried and agreed, ran out and ordered the kitchen to re-serve the best banquet, and replaced a few girls, although they were not peerless beauties, but they were also young and beautiful, charming and moving, and Song Zhixian was very happy. However, her daughter Song Yun'er was watching from the sidelines, and hurriedly told Song Yun'er to go outside and wait with Song Qing.

Song Yun'er also knew that girls in this kind of place couldn't come, and seeing that her father and Yang Qiuchi were all right, she was relieved to leave.

After the banquet was set up, Wang Tongzhi frequently toasted Yang Qiuchi, and said: "Brother Yang, the prefect has something to do and went to other places, otherwise, I will definitely invite Brother Yang to have a few drinks." This sentence stunned Song Zhixian and the others, this Tongzhi didn't even buy the Jinyi Wei Niu Hundred Households, how could he come out from behind the screen, he was in awe of Yang Qiuchi, and the sycophants were so loud that even the prefect was lifted out.

Yang Qiuchi waved his hand: "No, we'll leave after we're done." He beckoned to the bustard, "You sit down too, I'll have something to do with you later." The old bustard agreed again and again, and sat diagonally with a crooked ass with a bitter face.

During the banquet, Yang Qiuchi pointed to Chunya and said, "Master Tongzhi, I have taken a fancy to this girl and want to redeem her." You make an offer, right? ”

Wang Tongzhi shook his head like a rattle: "Brother Yang is serious, how dare you take your money, aren't you discounting my life?" He turned his head and called his brother-in-law: "Why don't you go and get this girl's deed of sale!" ”

The brother-in-law said yes without saying anything, and went out with a cigarette, and after a while, he brought the deed of sale of the Chunya girl. Wang Tongzhi handed the deed to Yang Qiuchi with both hands.

Yang Qiuchi took it and looked at it, and handed it to Chunya: "Look at it, is it your deed of sale?" ”

Chunya and Long Zixu both looked at it seriously and nodded.

"That's good." Yang Qiuchi smiled and tore the deed to shreds, "Okay, Miss Chunya, you can go with us in a while, and you will get married when you go back." ”

Long Zixu and Chunya stood up and thanked Yang Qiuchi, especially Chunya, and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Yang Qiuchi a few times. Yang Qiuchi hurriedly helped her up.

Yang Qiuchi was worried about the case, and said to Wang Tongzhi: "I have something I want to ask the bustard, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

"Convenient, of course convenient!" Wang Tongzhi said continuously, but he smiled very reluctantly, and said to the old bustard with an exaggerated face: "Wait a while, these uncles will ask you, and you will give me an honest answer." Do you hear that? ”

The old bustard hurriedly nodded in agreement, thought about it, and whispered: "Master, if they ask about the golden ......"

"No matter what the uncles ask, you will answer me truthfully, there is a half-lie, Lao Tzu will skin you!" The bustard hurriedly agreed.

Wang Tongzhi turned his head and smiled at Yang Qiuchi and said, "Brother Yang, then you are busy, the old man will go first." Something is a word. The old decay is in the prefect's yamen. And he got up and bowed, and went out backwards, and closed the door, and then he departed with all the servants.

Yang Qiuchi stared at the old bustard and sneered: "Why are you so afraid that we will ask about Miss Jin Keying?" Even the Tongzhi of Ning Guofu used it. ”

The old bustard broke out in a cold sweat: "I...... I ......"

"Miss Keying didn't go back to her hometown to save her relatives, but disappeared, right?"

The old bustard wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodding his head, and shaking his head.

"What this Tongzhi Lord said just now seems to have something in his words, right? What's going on? She's afraid you'll say something, right? ”

"This ...... This ...... "the bustard is still spitting."

When Wang Tongzhi hadn't come yet, Yang Qiuchi had already told Niu Baihu about the general situation of the case. Seeing that the old bustard refused to answer, Niu Baihu roared: "This fat pig doesn't say a word for a long time, concealing the murderer, it must be a gang, come here, first beat her up for Lao Tzu, and then put her in prison!" The brocade guards agreed in unison, and they were going to do it when they stepped forward.

The old bustard howled like a pig: "I say! I say! Wang Tongzhi has a younger brother, named Wang Fushun, who is in the silk business, very rich, he likes Miss Keying very much, and wants to redeem her as a concubine, but Miss Keying is unwilling, and the shopkeeper Wang feels very embarrassed, so he beats Miss Keying in the drunken Ying Building. ”

Later, Shopkeeper Wang looked for Miss Jin Keying a few more times, but Jin Keying didn't even want to see her, and Shopkeeper Wang was very angry and told others many times that he wanted to kill her. Soon after, Miss Ke Ying disappeared. The king's treasurer didn't know where he had gone. Later, Master Tongzhi instructed us that if someone came to ask about Miss Ke Ying, we should report it immediately. That's why I ......"

This dog officer, sure enough, he is behind his back! Yang Qiuchi secretly thought, maybe it was with the acquiescence of this Wang Tongzhi that Wang Fushun forced the marriage to fail, and he was angry and embarrassed, so he sent someone to secretly follow her, and killed Miss Ke Ying while she was in a secluded place. Yang Qiuchi asked, "Do you know where he went?" ”

"I really don't know, uncles, I'm not lying, I haven't seen him in a year or two."

Wang Tongzhi's younger brother also disappeared after Jin Keying's disappearance, it may be that he absconded for fear of crime, this Wang Tongzhi told people not to investigate Jin Keying's disappearance, so it seems that it may also be instructed by Wang Tongzhi, at least to cover up, Yang Qiuchi regretted a little that he agreed to this Wang Tongzhi to leave just now, Wang Tongzhi may have absconded at this moment, and he has to go to the prefect's yamen to find Wang Tongzhi immediately.

Master Jin recorded a confession to the bustard and drew a charge. The old bustard said fearfully: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't say that I said it, otherwise, Lord Wang will not spare me, then I will die." ”

Yang Qiuchi patted her fat face: "You are so fat, cut off a few catties of flesh, just to lose weight." Hey, hey, hey. He said to Song Zhixian and others: "Let's go, go to the prefect's yamen to find Wang Tongzhi." ”

Yang Qiuchi and others came to the yamen of the prefect of Ningguo Mansion and asked the men to report it, saying that several uncles who had just been in the Zuiying Building came to look for him. Yang Qiuchi and the others were a little surprised when they heard the commotion in the prefect's yamen. Niu Baihu said: "Let's go in!" ”

A few people entered the yamen, grabbed a panicked soap and asked, "What's going on in the yamen?" ”

As soon as Na Soap Li saw the outfit of Niu Baihu and others, he knew that it was Jinyiwei, and hurriedly replied: "Wang Tong knows him, he is dead!" ”

Yes? Yang Qiuchi and the others were shocked, Fang was still in the Drunken Ying Building, why did he die now? The first concept is: kill people and kill mouths!

Niu Baihu said: "Where? Take us there! ”

The soap Li took Yang Qiuchi and them around a few courtyards, shouting as they walked: "Don't mess up, don't mess up, everyone!" The uncles of Jinyiwei are here. Several people in official robes heard the shouting and hurriedly ran over and bowed down, most of these people knew Niu Baihu, it turned out to be a small official such as Ning Guofu's general judgment, pushing officials, experience, governors, and Zhaoma, and the chief was killed in the yamen, they were like headless flies at the moment, and they didn't know what to do.

Niu Baihu asked only to know that a pusher went to Wang Tongzhi to send an official document, as soon as he entered the door, he found that there was a lot of blood on the ground, and he looked inside, and found that Wang Tongzhi was lying on the ground, surrounded by blood, and ran out and screamed in fright. At this moment, the cattle hundred households came.

Yang Qiuchi asked, "Has anyone else ever gone in?" ”

"No, as soon as I found out, I let the soap be at the door." The general judge said. He didn't know Yang Qiuchi, but when he saw that he came with Niu Baihu, and he was relatively close, and he might also be a person from Jinyiwei, he replied respectfully. After speaking, the general judge took out a sweat towel and wiped the sweat on his head, and his face turned white with nervousness.

It is no wonder that the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and deputy mayor of Ning Guofu was killed in the office building, which is shocking enough.

Yang Qiuchi said to Niu Baihu: "Lord Baihu, you are waiting outside, and I will go in to investigate." Niu Baihu nodded. Seeing that Niu Baihu agreed to this sentence, he didn't dare to say more. Song Yun'er originally wanted to go, but this is no better than Guangde County, it is the boundary of other people's land, and she doesn't dare to run around at will.

Yang Qiuchi took the little black dog into the room. I smelled a strong smell of blood. This room was very large, and next to a large, messy long desk in the middle room, the thin Wang Tongzhi was lying motionless in a pool of blood. There were large blood marks on the front and back of the official robes, covered with messy holes, at least a dozen of them, and a little blood flowed out of the holes.

This murderer is really vicious, he has stabbed so many knives. Looking closely at the ground, there were several bloody footprints, and a crumpled sweat towel was thrown next to it, and there were obvious traces of wiping blood on the sweat towel. A knife was thrown under the long table, and there was blood on it.
