Chapter 733: Another person died.

It's just that although Xiao Sanzi admitted that Zhou Facai was killed by him, he refused to admit that he was in a complicity with the Zhou family.

Faced with this situation, Ye Xing and the others were also helpless.

There was no way, Ye Xing had no choice but to detain the third son first and send someone to closely monitor Zhou's every move, even if he slept at night, he had to send someone to watch it.

And after Ye Xing interrogated the third son, Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince and the eunuch, sent someone to invite him, saying that the eunuch was waiting for Ye Xing and the others in the palace.

Ye Xing didn't understand what the prince Zhu Gaochi asked them to do at this time, but no matter what, Ye Xing and the others still went.

After coming to the palace, Ye Xing found that there were many civil and military ministers standing on the top of the main hall, and those ministers who used to say that they were sick and could not go to the court were also among them.

When Zhu Gaochi saw Ye Xing coming, he asked very enthusiastically: "Ye Aiqing, it has been several days since Zhou Facai was killed, I wonder if you have investigated anything?" ”

Ye Xing didn't understand why Zhu Gaochi, who was a prisoner of the country, didn't care about national affairs, so why did he suddenly care about a murder case?

Ye Xing swept around with his afterglow, and found that Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was secretly happy, and after seeing Ji Gang's villainous smile, Ye Xing had already understood, and it must have been Ji Gang who exerted pressure on Zhu Gaochi, which made Zhu Gaochi think about asking a few of them to inquire about it to see if the murderer had been caught.

Just when Ye Xing was about to say that he had caught the murderer, Xiao Sanzi, Ji Gang suddenly stood up and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the murder case in Jinling is a big deal, and now this matter has passed for many days, if King Daming does not find out clearly, I am afraid it will affect the stability of the people of Jinling, just imagine, if the murderer is still at large, then how can the people of Jinling feel at ease, they will suspect that their family and their neighbors may be murderers, so I am afraid that everyone will be in danger!" ”

Although Zhu Gaochi has always hated Ji Gang, he feels that what Ji Gang said this time is also reasonable, the murder case, after all, it is better to investigate it thoroughly as soon as possible.

However, after listening to Ji Gang's words, Ye Xing suddenly felt that before the matter was completely clear, it was better for him not to tell the matter of the little third son, otherwise if Ji Gang wanted to embarrass himself with this, then he would probably kill the little third son and let himself die without proof.

So Ye Xing arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty the Prince, please rest assured, I already have an eye on this matter now, and I believe that it will not be long before the truth will be revealed, as for the commander and the Lord said that everyone in Jinling is in danger, I think it is a bit exaggerated, it is just an ordinary murder case, how can it be related to a country's major affairs, the prince is now a prisoner of the country, he should ask more about national affairs, such a small matter as a murder case, just leave it to a subordinate like us, you are the prince of the country, you must not lose a big one because of a small one." ”

After Ye Xing's words came out, Ji Gang was angry for a while, but he couldn't say anything, and Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt that what Ye Xing said was very reasonable, as a prisoner of the country, how could he ignore the country's major affairs for the sake of a small murder case, wouldn't he take care of one thing and lose the other?

Or even something that doesn't fit your identity?

As a prison country, there are naturally things that a prison country should do.

So after Ye Xing finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi nodded again and again: "Okay, what Ye Aiqing said is very good, then I will leave this matter to you with full authority!" ”

Nowadays, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty support Zhu Gaochi, so everyone has little objection to Zhu Gaochi's decision.

In this way, after leaving the palace, all Ye Xing and the others needed to do was to continue to wait and wait for the news brought back by those who were monitoring the Zhou family.

But the next day, after Ye Xing and the others got up, some officials hurriedly came to inform Ye Xing that another person had died, and the death was very similar to Zhou Facai's death, with a dagger stuck in his back, which had been tested, and it was the same type as the dagger that killed Zhou Facai.

After hearing the news, Ye Xing and the others were very panicked, if this was the case, then didn't Xiao Sanzi and the Zhou family not kill Zhou Facai, and the reason why Xiao Sanzi admitted to killing Zhou Facai was only because he wanted to take the blame for Zhou?

In a hurry, they hurried to the scene of the crime.

According to the official report, the deceased's name was Wen Wan, a very rich gentleman, and one of his friends Fang Rufeng called him to play early this morning, but when he opened the door, he found Wen Wan dead in his bed.

After understanding these circumstances, Ye Xing and the others had already come to Wen Mansion, Wen Mansion was very large, and it was counted among the wealthy merchants in Jinling, Ye Xing and the others didn't care about enjoying the scenery of Wen Mansion, so they went directly to the room of the deceased Wen Wan.

When they arrived at Wen Wan's room, they found that Wen Wan was lying on the edge of the bed at this time, with a dagger stuck behind his back, and the dagger style was indeed the same as the dagger that killed Zhou Facai.

After examining Wen Wan, Ye Xing found that the deceased only had a wound on his back, indicating that the deceased was indeed stabbed to death by the dagger behind his back, and the room was slightly messy, indicating that the deceased had fought with the murderer before he was killed, but unfortunately his skills were inferior and he was killed by the murderer.

After inspecting Wen Wan's room, Ye Xing asked, "Where is Fang Rufeng, who found the corpse?" ”

At this time, a handsome man with a bookish face but his eyes kept rolling walked in, he first made a scholar's salute, and then replied: "Xiaosheng is Fang Rufeng." ”

Ye Xing looked at Fang Rufeng and asked, "What is your relationship with the deceased, why can you go directly into the deceased's room to find him?" ”

Fang Rufeng bowed slightly, and then replied: "Back to the Ming King, I am good friends with the deceased Wen Wan, good friends who often play together, and the relationship between the two of us is very good, so I don't need to report every time I come to him, this morning I came to find Wen Wan to go to the spring together, after coming to Wen Mansion, I asked Wen Wan's maid Wen Wan if he was at home, the maid said that Wen Wan had never come out, I thought it was at home, so I pushed the door open desperately, but who would have thought that I pushed the door open only to find Wen Wan dead next to his bed, At that moment, Xiaosheng was really frightened. ”

This Fang Rufeng's speech had a smell of crepe, and it was extremely cumbersome, but no matter what, Ye Xing and the others still understood what he said, so after Fang Rufeng finished speaking, Ye Xing immediately asked, "Where is Wen Wan's maid?" ”

At this time, a woman with a slender willow waist walked in from the crowd, she said a blessing to Ye Xing and the others, and then replied: "The slave maid is Young Master Wen's maid bowl." ”
