Chapter 147: Exploring the King's Mansion at Night
"It's not easy to get evidence, as long as you hold him, you still have no evidence?" Wang Buquan was very satisfied with his 'we', he touched his chin and smiled.
"But I wonder what the county lieutenant is going to do?" Li Canghai asked.
"Of course it's to catch the murderer!" Wang Buquan glanced at him, and said: "As the county lieutenant of Zhengyang City, the county commander is not here, so I naturally have to take on the responsibility of guarding the city and protecting the people." Now that someone is using such cruel means to kill innocent people and blame me, as an official of the imperial court, how can I sit idly by? ”
Li Canghai looked outside the door, it was getting late at this time, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "Do you want to arrest the murderer now?" ”
"Hehe, you don't understand this, the so-called 'soldier is fast', since he learned that he killed someone, he naturally had to act quickly, so as not to leak the news and let the murderer have a chance." Wang Buquan directly defined the merchant as a murderer, and as he spoke, he asked his subordinates to gather the officials and go to arrest the merchant.
Li Canghai casually found an excuse and left the Wang family.
Wang Buquan believed Li Canghai's words, he felt that he was really lucky this time, although the bones were found in the family house, but it was a blessing in disguise, he could take this opportunity to get rid of the people who were against Zhengyang City, this is really a godsend, let him dominate Zhengyang City!
Wang Buquan was elated, but he didn't know that he was falling into the net that Li Canghai had carefully woven for him, but he had wronged this businessman surnamed Lu, and he had to suffer some boards.
After leaving the Wang family, Li Canghai walked straight in the direction of Futian Courtyard.
The Futian Courtyard in Zhengyang City is located in the southwest corner, and the location is very remote, which is where the little beggar lives.
During the day, Di Qing had already delivered him a message informing him of their location.
There are many refugees squatting inside and outside Futian Courtyard, although these refugees are dressed in tatters, but they all have extra steamed buns in their hands, it seems that Wang Buquan and others are indeed carrying out disaster relief according to his previous plan.
Walking cautiously through the crowd, Li Canghai went straight to the courtyard.
There were two cauldrons inside, and there was a burst of medicinal fragrance.
Di Qing took the little beggar and others to administer medicine to those refugees.
"Qing'er, where did this medicine come from?" Li Canghai was a little strange.
Before Di Qing could speak, a person suddenly burst out from the cauldron, this person was dirty, like a coolie who had just been dug out of a coal mine, and when he spoke, he showed two rows of white teeth.
"I promised you what I promised, and I will naturally do it, and I bought these medicines. Don't look at the appearance of these decoctions is indecent, but the effect is excellent, the sick drink it to heal, and the sick people are healthy, but it is a first-class good thing. Would you like two bowls? ”
As he spoke, You Fanglang hung for his life, picked up the porcelain bowl, took a bowl of rich decoction from the cauldron, and handed it to him.
Li Canghai looked at him in a little surprise, "You haven't left yet?" ”
Zhang Hangming wiped the charcoal ash on his face and said, "The thing I promised you has not been completed, so naturally you can't leave." ”
Li Canghai clasped his fists at him, bowed down and said, "Your Excellency not only keeps your promise, but even this medical skill is so skillful, I thank you for these refugees." ”
Zhang looked at him and said, "'Bingyao Snow Lotus' is such a rare thing, you can use it to treat people you don't know without blinking, as a doctor, I should do my best to help these refugees." ”
"Then there's Your Excellency Law."
Di Qing finished distributing the decoction, came to his side, and said, "Canghai, I heard that Wang Buquan's family found a murder case, what is going on?" ”
Li Canghai nodded and told her what happened.
After listening, Di Qing was surprised, and she said in disbelief: "I didn't expect Xiaohuzi to steal something, but it led to a murder case, so have you found the murderer?" ”
"I've locked up the murderer, but there is still no conclusive evidence in front of me, so I just want you to go with me to explore the crime scene." Li Canghai said in a low voice.
Di Qingxing's eyes lit up and she nodded hurriedly.
asked Zhang Hangming to take care of the fans, and Li Canghai left Futian Courtyard with Di Qing.
Wang Buquan led people to find trouble with the businessman surnamed Lu, this was the best time for him to find the secret room, with Di Qing by his side, he could look for clues with peace of mind.
In the Wang family's house, most of the servants who have been busy for a day have rested, and only a few of the guards are patrolling.
"Canghai, there are so many houses, where are we going to look?" Di Qing hid in the dark, frowning slightly.
"I already know the location of the secret room, Wang Buquan is superstitious about magic and has an alchemy room, and the secret room is in the alchemy room." Li Canghai pointed to the house not far away with his hand and said in a low voice.
Di Qing looked in the direction of his finger and found that in front of the house, there were two guards standing there.
However, this was difficult for Di Qing, she quietly appeared beside the two nurses, clapped her hands, and the two nurses fainted directly before they had time to react.
Li Canghai was taken aback, he hadn't made a deployment yet, but he didn't expect Di Qing to have already solved the battle.
Shaking his head helplessly, he hurriedly walked out of the corner.
He pushed the door and entered, and in the middle of the room was a half-human-high Dan furnace, and on the two rows of wooden shelves, various porcelain bottles and materials for refining pills were placed.
Li Canghai swept it, and most of the things he could recognize were some gold and stones such as mercury and cinnabar.
"Canghai, where is the secret room?" Di Qing searched for a while, but did not find the secret room, so he asked.
Li Canghai walked straight to the Dan furnace and carefully observed around the Dan furnace.
From the mouth of the mute cook, he learned that the mechanism was located in one of the Dan furnaces, and after searching for a while by candlelight, he found an anomaly.
One of the three-legged Dan furnaces is much brighter than the other two, and it is a trace of often turning by hand.
Li Canghai stretched out his hand and twisted it vigorously in the middle of the foot, and as the foot turned, the side wall suddenly turned out, revealing an entrance.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then walked in.
Li Canghai was in front and Di Qing was behind, and the two walked all the way down the secret passage.
After several twists and turns, the two came to a secret room.
The chamber was closed on three sides, with an iron fence on the front, and it was more accurate to say that it was more of a prison cell than a secret chamber.
Inside the fence, there are beds, dressers and other daily necessities.
The iron gate of the entrance was locked with iron chains, and judging by the degree of rust on the iron cables, it seems that no one has touched it since it was locked.
Li Canghai took out the dagger, flicked it back and forth from the lock a few times, and easily picked out the lock cylinder.
Pushing open the iron door, the two walked in.
Li Canghai first observed the secret room, where there was a bed against the wall, and opposite the bed was a dresser, on which was a messy rouge gouache.
