Chapter 183: Frightened

Yin Zhao Zhiying of Shuntian Mansion took out his official authority, his eyes were like electricity, he stared at Liu Xuan tightly, and knocked on the hall in shock, with a strong sense of oppression, "Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel." ”

However, this did not have the expected effect, I saw Liu Xuan smiling and arching his hand, his expression seemed to be modest, but there was a bit of disdain in his eyes, and he replied unhurriedly, "Lord Zhao, the student is worthy of being a talent in Hangzhou, and he can be regarded as a meritorious person." ”

Zhao Zhiying knew that Liu Xuan was a showman, and the one just now was to overwhelm the enemy in momentum, and the following was the real interrogation. Zhao Zhiying said calmly, "Oh, I see. Then who is your surname, where do you come from, who is in your family, and what is your livelihood? ”

Liu Xuan arched his hand and smiled, "The student's surname is Liu Mingxuan, and the words are straight." Hangzhou people, Hongzhi seventeen years to get the name of Xiucai. There are five brothers and three sisters in the family, and the students are the first. Students don't have a livelihood now, they have a lot of families and all walks of life. ”

Zhao Zhiying was still staring at Liu Xuan, but suddenly his tone sped up, "Since it is a reading seed, why did you make a rebellious move." If it is recruited quickly, this official will definitely intercede with the court to reduce the guilt of your family, if not, then it will show the means of my Shuntianfu Yamen. ”

Liu Xuan's expression was serious, and he said righteously, "Lord Zhao, since the student came to the capital from Hangzhou, he has felt a lot along the way, so he re-studied poetry and books in the house of his father's best friend, and basically stayed at home, how could he do such a big rebellious thing?" As soon as the words fell, Zhu Houzhao was angry and ready to stand up and speak, but Zhu Houwei pulled his sleeve and shook his head slightly, which was appeased.

"Then the decree was read yesterday, why didn't the door open to welcome it?" "Last night was already a child, and I couldn't see the distance clearly in the night, and the people were full of voices at the right time, and I couldn't hear clearly. There were suddenly many people with swords outside the village, how could they open the door at will? ”

"That's the army, you still think it's a thief?" Zhao Zhiying said sharply.

"The students are from the south, and I have never seen such a military uniform." Liu Xuan was still calm, as if an outsider was stating objective facts.

The army of the Ming Dynasty is basically a big red mandarin duck jacket, and the good thing to mix is all kinds of armor, and the blue and coarse cloth clothes of the water and land battalion are indeed unique, and there are still those seen in the Gyeonggi area, and it is normal for people in other places not to see them. However, using this as an excuse still made Zhu Houwei, the inventor of the military uniform, very angry, and secretly made up his mind that in the future, he must find an opportunity to let the land and water battalions run more throughout the country, so that the whole Ming Dynasty can know this simple military uniform.

"In vain, the official asked you, why did the Tianjin Water and Land Battalion still not open the door to greet after the Tianjin Water and Land Battalion revealed their identity, but swords faced each other?"

"Back to my lord, that was when the students had fled into the secret room of Liu's Mansion to be safe." Liu Xuan was still very steady, and his answer was not leaky, which made Zhao Zhiying and Zhu Houzhao frown. It is very difficult for criminals to achieve results without flaws in their hearts.

Zhao Zhiying pondered for a few seconds before he spoke: "Liu's secret room? According to the investigation, there are two secret rooms in Liu's Mansion, why is this, but what do you want to hide? ”

"My lord is aware that although there is a secret room in Liu's Mansion, it is just to hide some yellow and white things. Uncle Liu's business name is quite famous in Jiangnan, and it is not surprising that he hides some in the mansion. Speaking of private collection, there is neither armor nor forbidden things in this secret room, so I don't know what's wrong? ”

Last night, Jinyi Wei was in the aftermath and checked the things in the secret room, but there were no forbidden things in it, and there were no ledgers of letters and fires, yellow rice and white rice, and the three people sitting there knew this news.

"Then why do the family members in your house have so many bows and arrows, this is not allowed to be kept privately by the imperial court, right?" Zhao Zhiying leaned forward slightly and stared at Liu Xuan, as if she wanted to see through his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

However, Liu Xuan didn't feel uncomfortable, and looked at Zhao Zhiying very indifferently and said, "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, people are indeed not allowed to hide bows and crossbows privately. However, this bow and crossbow is more than three stones, and although the bow and arrows in Liu's mansion are well made, they are all first-class hunting bows, and the arrows will lose their accuracy and strength if they exceed fifty steps (about thirty meters). According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing wrong with it, right? ”

Zhao Zhiying wrinkled her nose slightly, although she was still smiling, she could already see the anger in her eyes. "Let's not talk about the Liu Mansion first, do you know what happened in the capital last night?"

"If you go back to the adults, the students don't know."

Zhao Zhiying smiled, "In that case, come on, bring people up." Suddenly, a jailer ran quickly to the lobby, his face was pale, he looked at Zhao Zhiying and the master and others in the hall, and shouted in his mouth, "My lord, firmly." Zhao Zhiying frowned and squinted his eyes slightly, "What's the panic, say it well." ”

The jailer knelt on the ground and bowed his head as if muttering, "My lord, all seven people who were sent to prison this morning are dead. "The lobby was quiet, although it wasn't loud, but it was all heard.

"What? You repeat? The master next to Zhao Zhiying shouted. Zhao Zhiying sat in the chair a little depressed, and her momentum dropped a lot. The two Zhu Houzhao brothers also stood up, with shocked and angry expressions on their faces.

The jailer was so frightened that he slammed his head on the ground, and cried out in a broken jar, "The seven prisoners brought this morning found all dead when they went to pick them up. ”

Zhao Zhiying's eyes that had lost focus re-condensed, and looked at Liu Xuan, who had a calm face and no waves, and a little anger and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Since Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, the power of the gate lords has been greatly reduced, and the strength of the court and the local government has also fallen to the lowest point. However, the strength of the family with several generations or even more than a dozen generations and the strength of the officials who have risen from the bottom by virtue of themselves are still heaven and earth, and the strength and resources in all aspects are not the same. Let's not talk about the affairs of the Fuwang Mansion in the capital, it is not because of discipline or anything that those families in the Liu Mansion dare to fight to the end, but because these people are the dead soldiers specially cultivated by the big family, and they are specially designed to do some unsightly things for their masters. And the power of big families in officialdom, Shilin, and even businessmen is unimaginable. Zhao Zhiying has been the Yin of Shuntianfu for more than three years, but there are not many henchmen of this Shuntianfu Yamen, and he also knows that most of the others do not belong to the same force. Zhao Zhiying doesn't want to take care of these and can't manage them, because he is a rogue official, and he will leave in another year or two, so he can't do it. But today, he began to be a little scared in his heart, besieging the Fu Wangfu and assassinating the prince would happen, and within two hours of being sent to prison in the morning, all seven people died. For such a sensitive matter, if he didn't stand in line, he might die one day without explanation.

These seven people can be said to be very important, because they are not from the Liu Mansion, but they have contact with the family members of the Liu Mansion. Although the means of passing notes and loading things in the goods are very secretive, they still did not escape the sight of Jinyiwei, and in this operation, they also pulled out the eyeliner liquid that Liu Fu hid in the villages around the capital, about 30 people, and there were only seven left in the process of resistance, which was still sent by the stunned. These thirty people are the contacts who communicated and directly assassinated the Fuwang assassins, once they confessed and came up with strong evidence, then Liu Xuan would not be able to escape.

Zhao Zhiying turned his gaze and asked the jailer, "Where is the head of Ding?" "The jailer's head is lowered" and the head of the cell killed himself. Zhao Zhiying still expected it, and sighed slightly, "Take the prisoner down." Find out what's going on in my Shuntianfu prison. Retirement. After speaking, he bowed to the two Zhu Houzhao brothers with a gloomy face.

Without human evidence and no physical evidence, this case is indeed untenable. Seeing Zhao Zhiying's situation, the two brothers nodded in acknowledgment to Zhao Zhiying's salute.

As soon as Zhao Zhiying took a step, Liu Xuan spoke, "Lord Zhao, if there is no human and physical evidence, how can you see that the student is the murderer, and why do you still say that the student is locked in prison." Please also ask the adults to be aware of everything and return the innocence of the students as soon as possible, otherwise the students will have no face to go home if they are dirty. When the time comes, please give a rope to the students, so that the students can break themselves here, so as not to insult the door. The people in the lobby were all staring at Liu Xuan, but Liu Xuan was not uncomfortable, his words were righteous, and his expression was also a natural reaction after being wronged. Zhu Houwei also has to praise in his heart, this acting skill is amazing.
