Chapter 400: Relationships
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was very surprised, killing people here, so blatantly, it really made the Emperor of the Apocalypse not expect that the murderer would be so unscrupulous, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at that Zhizhou with a less friendly gaze.
Just now, it was obviously this Zhizhou who broke in with someone, not to mention the right and wrong of this behavior itself, and now it has caused this kind of consequence, which can only show that this Zhizhou is incompetent.
Taking out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently covering his nose, Zhizhou walked into the private room. After confirming that the person was dead, the old man of Zhizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Glancing back at the head catcher behind him, the old man of Zhizhou said in a deep voice: "Let the priest come to the autopsy and issue a notice to reward the murderer!" After saying that, the old man walked out of the room and threw away the silk in his hand.
"This is likely to be the work of Jiangyang thieves, you must do your best to investigate, and you must not slack off in the slightest. Bai Zhutou, I'll leave it to you here, take someone to check it well, and report the results to the house! The old man of Zhizhou had a face like water, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about the case.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse really couldn't help it, what kind of official is this? This man was clearly just dead, and was killed here. didn't investigate people, didn't interrogate, and now he actually wants to leave again, based on these items alone, this is definitely not a good official.
Thinking of what he said just now, Emperor Tianqi ** felt that his face was hot, and he also praised Sun Yuanhua, appointing such an official, where can he, the governor of Shandong, be smart. As soon as I arrived here, there was a murder, and the government actually had this attitude, and this Jining City has reached a certain point.
Suddenly felt that someone was pulling him, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly felt a little surprised, and when he looked back, it was actually Yuan Keli, this old man was squeezing his eyebrows at the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Originally, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was in a very bad mood, but when he saw that face full of wrinkles, he actually squeezed his eyebrows like a child, and the white beard on his lower forehead was pouted, which was really funny and ridiculous.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse signaled that he understood, and Yuan Keli breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief. Nodding his hand to greet a janissaries, Yuan Keli muttered a few words in his ear, as if he wanted the janissaries to do something.
The guards obviously didn't give face, but prepared to report like the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and Yuan Keli on the side was suddenly extremely embarrassed. His lips trembled and he couldn't speak, and his face turned red.
Nodding at the guards, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't ask anything, and said in a deep voice, "You go!" ”
"Yes, Childe!" The Praetorian Guard bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and turned to leave.
Glaring at Li Fang fiercely, Chen Lin came to the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse with a smile, and said expectantly: "Childe, let's go back!" There are a lot of people here, and it's so messy, what is there to put on and figure out how to do it! ”
After looking around, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also felt that what Chen Lin said made sense, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay!" Lead the way, let's go back! ”
The group didn't have the heart to go to the night market, and along the way, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a gloomy face, and no one dared to speak.
After returning to the ship, the Emperor of the Apocalypse finished his dinner and went to the deck. Looking at the river not far away, his mouth was full of wry smiles.
"Yuan Aiqing, what did you let that guard do?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse did not turn back, stroking the railing, and said in a flat tone.
"Back to the emperor, the minister asked the guards to keep an eye on that Zhizhou and see where he went!" Yuan Ke bowed and replied respectfully. The reason why he didn't tell the Emperor of the Apocalypse at that time, but directly looked for the Praetorian Guard, was that he was afraid that it would be too late.
Smiled helplessly, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a slight dejection in his tone: "I just left the palace, I never expected to encounter such a thing. It's really bold to kill people in a restaurant. I, an official of the Ming Dynasty, is really stupid. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Zhizhou may not be stupid, and today's incident is likely to be deliberate." Yuan Keli had a little anger on his face, and he didn't hide it at all, which can be described as ruthless.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse also sensed that something was wrong, but he was so angry in his heart that he couldn't figure it out. Glancing at Yuan Keli, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Listen! ”
"Thank you, Emperor! Today's case is obvious, the people in the restaurant killed someone. That Jining Zhizhou was very active just now, and personally went into the house to check the body, and after that, he walked out and said something that was not clear. Weichen dared to conclude that the reason why Jining Zhizhou entered the house was not because he solved the case and looked at the corpse. If it was to look at the corpse, he would naturally not come out so quickly and do nothing. Then Weichen has to ask, since it wasn't to see the corpse, why did he go in? What made the minister feel even more incredible was the piece of silk in Jining Zhizhou's hand, he was obviously very reluctant, but he had to go in. So what kind of reason is it that makes this Zhizhou must go in and have a look! Yuan Keli's eyes shone with wisdom, and there was a faint hint of excitement.
Glancing back at Yuan Keli, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also felt a little surprised in his heart, this old man was actually so interested in solving the case. Looking at the way he talked eloquently, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ** wanted to ask, are you Di Renjie? Where is Li Yuanfang?
Seeing that what Yuan Keli said was reasonable, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also thought about it involuntarily, and boldly speculated according to the criminal investigation TV series he watched in his previous life: "After Jining Zhizhou entered, his eyes were still focused on the corpse, if he didn't observe the corpse for the purpose of autopsy." Then there is only one possibility, he is determining the identity of the deceased and whether he is really dead. ”
"The emperor Shengming, Weichen also thinks so. After discovering that it was someone he knew who died, and also confirming that he was dead, Jining Zhizhou couldn't wait to leave. Where he wants to go at this time, that's a very interesting thing! Yuan Keli had a gloomy smile on his face, like a child who had succeeded in his prank, and his white beard was pouted.
I really didn't expect that Yuan Keli, who was a handful of years, would have such a bad taste, which was really unexpected. The Emperor of the Apocalypse was still trying to say something, and a Praetorian guard strode over, without the slightest expression on his face.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse and Yuan Keli glanced at each other, and their faces showed a look of interest, maybe this is how their money came from.
"See Change!" With respect on his face, the guard saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said in a respectful tone. Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse signaled that he would be exempted, the guards said to Yuan Keli on the side: "I've seen Lord Yuan!" ”
"I've seen it, I've seen it! Come on, where did the old man of Zhizhou go? Yuan Keli couldn't wait to pull the guards over and asked eagerly.
The guards were slightly stunned, and when they saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodding at him, he said expressionlessly: "Jining Zhizhou went back to the state yamen directly, but there is nothing abnormal." ”
"That's not right! How could this be! Yuan Keli frowned tightly, brushing his beard, looking unclear.
However, later a person came out of the yamen of the state capital, sitting proudly. The little one asked around him, and they didn't know. Later, the younger one followed this proud son, who belonged to a wealthy merchant in the city. I asked the people around me, and the rich businessman's surname was Lin, and he was a big local family. The guards didn't look at Yuan Keli's face, and still said unhurriedly.
Staring at the guards viciously, Yuan Keli can't wait to eat him at this time, talking loudly!
Waving his hand to signal the guards to go down, the Emperor of the Apocalypse found that Yuan Keli still had this side, like a fighting.
"Okay, Yuan Aiqing! Now that the results are in, you can move on! Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought it was fun, he was not in the mood to play now, so he changed the topic.
"Yes, Your Majesty! After confirming that this person was dead, that Yongning Zhizhou couldn't wait to go back and inform this rich man. This rich man Lin has also been waiting in the governor's mansion, indicating that the dead are very important. And this person's death, the rich man Lin and the governor of Jining all knew. Afterwards, Jining dealt with it vaguely, and when he left, he also mentioned the Jiang Yang thief, obviously trying to hide the person who killed him. Yuan Keli's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, his eyes stared at the ink-black water, and the expression on his face was appropriate and weird.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse no longer looked at Yuan Keli's face, and he was also pondering the ins and outs of the matter in his heart. What pressed on the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not this case, but another word, that is, salt!
When he was in the private room, the Emperor of the Apocalypse faintly heard the conversation between the two people, and there was a very crucial word mentioned in it, that is, salt. Unlike later generations, salt was not a good thing, but in this era, salt was a very profitable industry. If you really want to compare, in this era to do salt trading, it is like with the boss of a coal mine.
However, because salt was controlled by the state at this time, there was a more lucrative business in it, that is, private salt.
"There is one thing that Weichen can't figure out, what can be used to wear these people, the deceased, Jining Zhizhou, the big family surnamed Lin. What is the secret here, it seems that it is difficult to find out the reason for this without finding out the identity of the deceased! Yuan Keli frowned tightly, his face was puzzled, and he said a little dejectedly.
"Salt, it's all because of salt. Before the man died, I faintly heard the deceased talking to another person. I vaguely heard them mention salt, salt brought in by boat! The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a bit of slaughter in his eyes, but his voice was calm.
Yuan Keli seemed to want to say something, but he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the river not far away, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, look!" There's a boat on fire there! (To be continued.)
