Chapter 588: Humble Murderer
"It's Lord Tang!"
Gonggong Shi greeted him with a smile, pulled Tang Yi to sit down, and beckoned, the little eunuch brought a pot of tea, and Gonggong Shi personally took it and poured it for Tang Yi.
"Lord Tang, the big red robe on the old tree, a few catties of things a year, the emperor rewarded the ancestor with two taels, and the ancestor was merciful, all of them were given to me, how do you taste it?"
Tang Yi took it with a smile, took two sips, and put down the teacup again.
"Father-in-law Shi, if you want to say that the tea is really good, but now give me the elixir and jade dew, and I can't drink it."
Father-in-law Shi laughed with him, "The case is not easy to handle?" ”
"Hmm." Tang Yi smiled: "Gonggong Shi, I want to ask for something. ”
"Speak, ensure that you know everything, and you can't say anything."
"Okay, I want to inquire about Li Bin's case."
As soon as these words came out, Gonggong Shi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Lord Tang, how many years ago Chen sesame rotten grain, what else are you asking?" ”
Tang Yi shook his head slightly, "Gonggong Shi, before Lu Taibao died, the last servant he contacted was from the palace, and Li Bin was assigned to the Lu Mansion back then. ”
"Could it be that Lord Tang suspected that he killed Lu Taibao in order to avenge Li Bin?" Shi Gonggong exclaimed.
Tang Yi shrugged, "It's hard to say, at least there is this suspicion, please ask your father-in-law for some advice, right?" ”
Gonggong Shi's face was full of embarrassment, "Lord Tang, it stands to reason that you shouldn't refuse what you say, but after many years, I don't remember it very clearly, so it's not good to talk nonsense." ”
Tang Yi's ability to observe words and colors is perfect, and Gonggong Shi doesn't know it, but he doesn't dare to say it.
"Gonggong Shi, how much is implicated in Lu Taibao's death, you know it in your heart, I also know it in my heart, if there is no explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the mouths of the people, tucked and hidden, it is better to be single, as for the proportion, I will grasp it."
Seeing that Gonggong Shi was still bowing his head and making no noise, Tang Yi smiled and said, "Gonggong Shi might as well go find Gonggong Mai and ask his old man for an idea." ”
"Well, let's go now!"
Gonggong Shi also felt that the matter was important, and hurriedly ran to Yuxi Palace, and found Mai Fu who was waiting for Jiajing, after listening to his story, Mai Fu did not hesitate, only said: "When it comes to proportion, Lord Tang knows better than us, don't hide it from him, tell him what you want to know." ”
"Yes!"
With McFuku's words, Gonggong Shi also had the courage, and he ordered someone to find out all the files of Li Bin's case and put them in front of Tang Yi.
"Lord Tang, Li Bin was also the person who was the celebrant back then, and all the files of this kind of case cannot be left outside, make an exception today, but you can only watch it here, but you must not take it out."
"I understand!"
Tang Yi gently dusted off the dust, and after opening it, he looked at it carefully, Li Bin's case was not complicated, as the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, he was ordered to supervise the construction of the project, but the prison guard stole himself, and his godson Du Tai and others joined forces to embezzle millions of money and materials.
After Jinyiwei investigated, Lu Bing played Jiajing, took Li Bin down, and found a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, Tang Yi flipped to the confiscated catalog, from beginning to end, it looked.
There are a lot of things, including gold and silver, furs, jade, jewelry...... Dozens of sheets of paper are listed, and they have not yet been written.
flipped all the way to the end, and in an inconspicuous corner, Tang Yi suddenly saw a line, "Thirty-five Buddha statues".
Tang Yi remained silent and said softly: "Father-in-law Shi, can you let me see what I received from Li Bin's house?" ”
Gonggong Shi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Lord Tang, why are you chasing after you?" ”
Tang Yi put down the file and said with a smile: "Gonggong Shi, it's still the same sentence, it's impossible to cover the lid, I know where to find out!" ”
"Cheng, you are not afraid, and our family is not afraid!"
Gonggong Shi stomped his feet, got up and took Tang Yi out, came out of the celebrant eunuch, went all the way to a warehouse, asked for the key from the little eunuch, and brought Tang Yi in.
It's all covered in dust and cobwebs, and I don't know how long no one has come. Tang Yi went to the innermost, and sure enough, there were several Buddha statues placed in a crooked manner, some of them were golden, some were bronze, the craftsmanship was excellent, and the production was lifelike.
Tang Yi's attention was not on this, but stared at the base of the Buddha statue, nine small balls connected together, very eye-catching!
"Sure enough, it's the Jiuyang Society!"
Tang Yi saw this and couldn't help but nod vigorously.
In fact, when the Tianwang Temple was raided, a large number of Buddha statues were found, and on the back of the Buddha statues, the words "disciple so-and-so dedication" were often written, several of which were given by Li Bin, and they were all 35 years before Jiajing.
Tang Yi has never given up the investigation of the Jiuyang Society, he asked people to secretly track down who Li Bin is, but he has no clue. It wasn't until I found out that Xu Caixia was recommended by Li Bin, and then thought of the case back then, that I suddenly woke up, no wonder I couldn't find who Li Bin was! Dare to love him, he came out of the palace.
"Lord Tang, until now, our family is not hiding from you, although our family, as well as the old ancestor, Huang Gonggong, do not believe in this thing, but many people in the palace worship Buddha. Those of us who have no roots, this life is over, so we beg to be able to give birth to a good family in the next life, most people don't know anything, Lord Tang, you can be merciful! ”
Tang Yi nodded, "Father-in-law, please rest assured." ”
Coming out of Xiyuan, Tang Yi went directly to Lu Bing's mansion and gave the order to everyone in the Lu family to come over. Not long after, Lu Bing's wife, aunt, and wife, as well as many children, and the steward all arrived.
Far away, I heard a muffled cry.
"Master, why did you leave us behind!"
"Master, without you, we are all bullied!"
……
Everyone was crying, Lu Bing's eldest son Lu Yi had a black face, puffed out his cheeks, and jumped up when he saw Tang Yi.
"Lord Tang, Your Majesty asked you to investigate my father's case, instead of looking for the murderer, but tossing our family, what are you going to do?"
The third lady also said: "That is, our Lu family has been inherited for hundreds of years, poetry, books and etiquette, and there will definitely be no villains, Lord Tang, you have wasted your efforts!" ”
Tang Yi's face was pale, he was really fed up with these stupid people of the Lu family, they didn't know the situation at all, Lu Bing was dead, and he still thought he was the uncle!
Lu Bing's death, there is no conclusion that makes all parties happy and convinced, and their Lu family will always be suspicious and unable to straighten their backs. Dongchang will overpower Jinyiwei, and then those dead eunuchs will let them understand what it means to have no eggs under the nest!
"Lu Gongzi, it's okay to say anything, if you don't want the official to investigate the case, you can replace it with Yuan Heng to investigate, how did he deal with you a few days ago, don't you need the official to say more, right?"
Lu Yi was asked all of a sudden, and his little face was red and white, which was very ugly. He is a son-in-law who is in the nest to put it bluntly, and when Lu Bing and Tang Yi have a relationship, they are unscrupulous, but when they meet a more ferocious one, they are directly honest.
"Hmph, I really don't deserve to be Lu Bing's son!" Tang Yi said mercilessly: "Which of you is familiar with Xu Caixia, is there anything unusual about her?" ”
Tang Yi asked three times in a row, and the Seventh Lady stood up timidly.
"This adult, Xu Caixia believes in Buddhism, and is still very pious, burning incense and chanting sutras every day, and going out of the city every two months to release life and accumulate merits. Some time ago, the concubine had a headache, and she also said that as long as you invite a Buddha, put it in the room, and **** worship, you can be protected from all diseases. ”
"Oh? Did she say where to ask for a Buddha statue in the past? ”
"Listening to her, it seems to be, it's the view of clouds and water. It's just that the concubine didn't believe it, so she didn't invite. ”
Tang Yi was silent for a while, and immediately said, "Send someone immediately to copy the Yunshui Temple." ”
"Yes."
Jin Yiwei and Shuntianfu joined forces to act, and the efficiency was naturally needless to say, in almost half a day, the Yunshui Temple had already been taken down, and all the people inside were arrested, and a large number of Buddha scriptures were also searched, and the content was similar to that copied from the Tianwang Temple.
Obviously, this is another stronghold of the Jiuyang Society.
During the search, a secret room was also discovered, and the officials rushed inside, and found a woman, unkempt hair, like crazy, saw people rushing in, and shouted: "Dead, Lu Bing is dead, I killed it, I killed it." ”
"Take her to your lordship!"
The officials escorted her to the Lu Mansion, and almost everyone recognized her as the missing Xu Caixia.
"You said you killed Lu Bing, is there a reason?"
"Yes!" She said simply: "Lu Bing is my enemy. ”
"What do you have against you?" Tang Yi asked.
"Hatred? He killed Gonggong Li. Xu Caixia looked hideous, stretched out her claws hard, as if to grab something, and several officials hurriedly held her down, lest she hurt anyone.
"What is the relationship between you and Gonggong Li, why do you want to help Gonggong Li take revenge?"
"Li, Father-in-law Li is a good person, he saved me, he saved me twenty years ago, he died in the hands of Lu Bing, I want to avenge him!"
Twenty years ago!
When Tang Yi heard this, he was stunned in his heart, and couldn't help but think of another thing. It's just that when it's still time to ask, he continues to ask: "Xu Caixia, Lu Taibao is heavily guarded, how did you kill him?" ”
"I, I put arsenic in his water, the most poisonous arsenic, and if you drink it, you will bleed to death! Lu Bing drank it all, he must have died very miserably, bleeding from the seven orifices, rotting his intestines, and bitten by thousands of ants, he suffered retribution! ”
Xu Caixia raised her head and laughed wildly, Lu Yi stood next to her, furious. suddenly pounced in front of Xu Caixia, grabbed her clothes hard, and shouted: "You killed my father, I want you to die!" ”
Lu Yi used both hands, and Xu Caixia rolled her eyes for a while. The officials on both sides hurriedly pulled with their hands, who knew that Lu Yi's kid was quite strong, but he didn't let go.
Xu Caixia's face was purple, and a trace of black blood suddenly flowed from the corner of her mouth, glowing with a foul smell. Lu Yi subconsciously let go of his hand, only to see blood spurting out from the corners of Xu Caixia's eyes and nostrils, all of which were pitch black.
In a few moments, her body fell straight up.
Tang Yi was so angry, he kicked Lu Yi aside, and beckoned a few people from the Jinyi Guards to come over to check, they looked at it and shook their heads one after another.
"My lord, before she was caught, she should have taken the poison, and there is nothing she can do."
There is no proof of death, could it be that such a humble little person poisoned the dignified Lu Taibao? Tang Yi didn't think it was a bit ridiculous! (To be continued.) )
