Chapter 81: The Case of the Broken Corpse of the Qinglou (3)
In the Yamen of the Tangyao Valley, in the living room, Chu Xiaofeng listened to Hao Dawen's words and stood up in shock. The lord of the state capital here actually let the corpse be killed by people, what a deep hatred it must be, so that one person can dismantle another person. He frowned, and said softly: "As far as I know, the state capital yamen should be in Jidusk Town, which is nearly thousands of miles away from here. ”
"My lord doesn't know, the name of the deceased state lord is Zhang Sheng, and his hometown is in our Tangyao Valley. For some reason, more than ten days ago, he suddenly came to the Tangyao Valley, saying that he was aware of the people's feelings. But as soon as he arrived here, he lived in the Drunken Dream Building, and never came out at all. Hao Dawen said with disdain. Everyone is a humble gentleman in front of them, but in fact, they are all greedy and lustful. When he despises others, he ignores himself, isn't he Hao Dawen also this kind of person.
"What day did you learn he was killed?" Chu Xiaofeng frowned and said lightly. He didn't want to care about this matter, but he was afraid that it was the conspiracy of the Yongle Sect's traitors, so he had to ask clearly. In case the Yongle Sect rebels come back and wantonly kill the officials of the Great Zhou, he himself will find a way to notify the imperial court to take precautions.
"At noon three days ago, I received a report from the old bustard of Zuimenglou, saying that Nangong Ren, the eldest young master of the Nangong family, had killed someone. When I arrived at the scene, I learned that it was the state lord who had been mutilated. Hao Dawen said honestly. The lord of the state capital was killed on his own chassis, and if he couldn't find the real murderer, then he would be blamed, and he would have to be beheaded.
"Nangong Ren? Is it Nangong Shuo's son? Chu Xiaofeng's brows furrowed even tighter, no wonder Nangong Shuo fell ill, it turned out to be for this matter, if I helped his son clear his grievances, then the favor that their Nangong family owed me would never be repaid. Chu Xiaofeng was thinking about this case while thinking about it.
"Adults also know the people of the Nangong family? Hey, if only others were okay to say. But I and Old Man Nangong are good friends, so this matter is difficult to do. Hao Dawen saw that Chu Xiaofeng seemed to know Nangong Shuo, and immediately complained of bitterness.
How could he have a bad relationship with the old man Nangong, because the Nangong family had already sent someone to send a thousand taels of silver, so he was so embarrassed. I thought that Xu Liang would take people around to see if there were any suspicious people, just catch a few to be scapegoats, and after receiving the money and doing things, he could give an explanation to the above.
"Hehe, do you think the murderer is not Nangong Ren?" Chu Xiaofeng was amused in his heart, he naturally understood the stakes, and said secretly: This guy is really a slippery head, he is definitely suitable for mixing in officialdom, and in less than ten years, he will definitely be promoted to the fifth grade, but his clever mentality is absolutely unacceptable. If you add a little **, maybe it's a talent.
"Don't hide it from your lord, it can't be Nangong Ren at all, when we arrived at the scene, he was still asleep! When he got closer, he was full of alcohol, apparently in excess. Just ask, how can a drunk person dismantle people's eight pieces? Hao Dawen said categorically. He also asked the turtle man on duty, that night Zhangzhou Mansion and Nangong Ren met in the Drunken Dream Building, the two hit it off at first sight, and they talked about it late at night.
"Well, you have a point. What do you say? Chu Xiaofeng nodded and asked casually. Qinglou brothels, the flow of people is relatively large, if you check one by one, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. If you can first understand the murder weapon of the murderer, there may be some clues to be found.
"Foolishness? What is it? Hao Dawen was confused and asked suspiciously.
"It's the autopsy! Don't you have one here? Chu Xiaofeng said angrily. How could a yamen not have a pretence!
"You're talking about the person who examined the body, we really don't have such a person here." Hao Dawen replied curtly. Seeing that Chu Xiaofeng's face was not good, he hurriedly added: "In the Tangyao Valley, there are many famous doctors, and even many people are imperial doctors in the palace. But they are all very noble, and they will not do an autopsy at all. Therefore, in our decoction medicine valley, although there are many doctors, they do not do anything. ”
"Well, I see." Chu Xiaofeng stood up and took a few steps forward. It's a bit of a difficult problem to deal with. Although he is proficient in acupuncture, after all, his knowledge is limited, and it is impossible to see some of the symptoms of the deceased.
He paced lightly in the hall, and suddenly, a person flashed in his mind - Nangong Ren. He was born in the Nangong family, his family is knowledgeable, and he is also a doctor, plus he is involved in this case, if he wants to ask others for help, others may shirk it, but he, he will definitely not shirk.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiaofeng asked in a low voice, "Where is Nangong Ren now?" ”
"My lord, Nangong Ren is now in prison." Hao Dawen hurriedly responded. He also wanted Chu Xiaofeng to be involved in this case, if that was the case, he would not have anything to fear from above. There is Lord Qincha pressing the formation, and there is no worries at all.
"Bring him here for me, I have something to ask him." Chu Xiaofeng sat back on the chair, picked up the tea on the side, took a sip, and said softly.
"Wait a minute, I'll do it right away!" Hao Dawen was ecstatic in his heart, it seemed that Lord Qincha really planned to participate in this case, which couldn't be better. He hurriedly turned around and went out, ordering someone to bring Nangong Ren up.
That is, half a cup of tea, Hao Dawen's voice came from outside the hall: "My lord, Nangong Ren brings it." ”
"Let him in." Chu Xiaofeng commanded softly.
"Squeak", the door was opened, and a young man in prison uniform, unkempt, walked in timidly. When he saw Chu Xiaofeng's face black and hideous face, he was even more restrained, standing at the door and not daring to go forward. Who knows what this adult in front of him is doing? What to do in case you eat people.
"Come to me." Chu Xiaofeng saw Nangong Ren standing motionless at the door, thinking that he was cowardly, and said as calmly as possible. Nangong Ren was afraid, but what he was afraid of was not his official title, but his black carbon.
"Spare your life! The little one didn't kill! Please let me go. Nangong Ren suddenly knelt on the ground and howled loudly, he thought that Chu Xiaofeng was going to sentence him.
"Get up and speak! I know you didn't kill people. Chu Xiaofeng shook his head, although Nangong Ren is nearly eight feet tall and has a strong physique, he is a child at heart, and he cries for his father and mother when he is a little afraid, it is really useless!
"Really?" Nangong Ren stopped crying, raised his head, and asked weakly.
"Of course it's true. However, although you didn't kill anyone, this matter has something to do with you, are you willing to make meritorious contributions? Chu Xiaofeng walked up to Nangong Ren, helped him up, and asked in a low voice.
"I am willing, if you have any commands, please say it. No matter how much money it is, my father will give it to you. Nangong Ren listened to Chu Xiaofeng's words and hurriedly said "cooperatively". Chu Xiaofeng was speechless for a while, what kind of nonsense he said, he felt that he was asking for money.
"Listen to me first." Chu Xiaofeng turned around and walked back to his seat, and said with a smile: "How are your medical skills?" ”
"Answer, although the villain's medical skills cannot be compared with his father, he is also outstanding. Although my father often scolded me for not being angry, I felt that my medical skills were definitely better than ordinary doctors. Nangong Ren said with a somewhat gloomy face. No matter how hard he tries, in the eyes of his father, he will never be able to compare to Miss Liu of the Liu family!
"And how much do you know about the human body?" Chu Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with a fine light, it seems that the Nangong family has a lot of talents.
"What do you know about the human body?" Nangong Ren raised his eyebrows, he didn't understand why Chu Xiaofeng asked like this. He pondered for a moment before he stubbornly said: "In the past, the villain was ignorant, and in order to study the effect of medicinal stones on skin, bones and muscles, he once dug a grave once, and also studied the dead man for a while. Nangong Ren clenched his fists, his palms were sweaty, he decided to gamble, and it was a big deal to be imprisoned for a few days.
"That's great!" Chu Xiaofeng laughed when he heard this, lowered his voice again and said, "I want you to go and examine the body of Zhangzhou Mansion, are you willing?" ”
