(

The main house is a suite structure, divided into a reception hall and an inner room for residents, and when Li Yuntian entered the inner room, he couldn't help but be stunned.

In the inner room, a naked young man fell to the ground and convulsed, half a piece of scissors was "inserted" in his chest, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

On the ** on the side, a woman wearing only close-fitting clothes, fair skin, and a disheveled hair curled up in the corner, holding the other half of the scissors in her left hand against her smooth neck, looking frightened.

"Don't come here, or I'll kill myself!" Seeing that Li Yuntian was coming, the woman's love suddenly became excited, and she moved half of the scissors in her hand to her neck, and blood suddenly flowed down her neck.

"Girl, I'm not in the same league as him." Seeing this, Li Yuntian hurriedly explained in a loud voice, "This official is the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I heard the girl outside calling for help just now, so I came to check on it, if there is anything you can tell this official." ”

"You're the Imperial History?" The woman was stunned for a moment, looking very vigilant, as if she couldn't believe it.

"You see, this is my seal." Li Yuntian saw that the woman didn't believe him, so he took out his imperial history seal letter from his waist and showed it to the woman, only the imperial history seal letter in the capital was tied with a yellow "color" ribbon.

He ...... Is he dead? The woman's feelings calmed down a little, and the tip of the scissors left her neck, and she asked nervously.

Li Yuntian looked down and saw that the young man on the ground had stopped his convulsions at this time, and was lying there motionless, his eyes wide open, and he looked incredulous. [27215671 Ruling Daming Ruling Daming] 272 Ruling Daming 274

Seeing this situation, Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel a headache, it seems that tonight's things can't be good, how can An Yihou give up?

"Miss!" At this time, the girl in the yard rushed in in a panic, and was startled when she saw the corpse of the young man on the ground, and then shouted out to the woman on the ** quite sadly, and the two hugged each other and cried bitterly on the **.

"Let your young lady get dressed, and the people from the Terracotta Division will come over in a while." Li Yuntian couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, turned around and walked out, feeling quite sympathetic to the pair of masters and servants in his heart, they would encounter such a bad thing.

In the courtyard, the big man with the Chinese character face and the other big man gathered together to discuss something with a bloodless face, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

Although the little marquis was killed by that woman, the two of them undoubtedly have to bear a lot of responsibility as entourage, at least they are not well guarded, and An Yihou will take the lives of the two of them in shame.

"You go back and tell the county lord that the lord has something to do tonight, and he won't be able to go back until later." Li Yuntian glanced up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and waited for a guard.

He knew very well that if he left now, the pair of masters and servants in the house would definitely die, although he was afraid of An Yihou, but this did not mean that he would run away and sacrifice the lives of the master and servants in exchange for the stability of the situation in the capital.

Besides, he is now involved in this case, and he can't leave even if he wants to.

After about a cup of tea, a chaotic footstep came from the alley outside, and a team of soldiers and horses of Nancheng who were patrolling the streets hurried to check after receiving the report, and rushed into the courtyard.

"Who was killed?" The leader was a stout chief, who glanced at Li Yuntian and the others in the courtyard, and asked quietly.

"My little marquis!" The big man with the national character face who was discussing something with his companions walked over quickly when he heard this, pointed to the main house with a blank face, and shouted at the chief with red eyes, "Go quickly, arrest that murderous!" ”

"Little ...... Little Marquis? Shi Chang couldn't help but be stupid when he heard this, he just received the report and thought that it was a civilian who died, after all, this is a gathering place for civilians, he never expected it to be a little marquis, and now the situation can be serious.

"Quick...... The murderer was arrested. Then, Shi Chang came back to his senses, waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, and shouted loudly.

"Wait!" Without waiting for those soldiers to leave, Li Yuntian opened his mouth to stop them.

"Who are you? Why do you want to interfere with our Terracotta Division's case? Shi Chang glanced at Li Yuntian, and saw that he was dressed luxuriously, as if he was quite a bit of a talent, and asked quietly. [27215671 Ruling Daming Ruling Daming] 272 Ruling Daming 274

"This official is the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate." Li Yuntian took out the Imperial History Seal Letter and flashed at Shi Chang, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at the big man with the national character face and another big man, "These two people are involved in this murder case, and they will be arrested and sent to the Shuntianfu prison immediately, and they will be detained!" ”

The duties of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division of the Ming Dynasty are to catch thieves, dredge ditches, put out fires, etc., and such life lawsuits must be transferred to Shuntianfu for trial.

"The little one obeys." Shi Chang glanced at the seal letter in Li Yuntian's hand, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, but he didn't expect to meet two powerful characters in this small courtyard one after another, and hurriedly threw his hand at Li Yuntian, and asked his soldiers to arrest the two big men.

"Lord Yushi, the little one didn't know Mount Tai just now, and he collided with the adult, please ...... it" The big man with the face of the national character never expected that Li Yuntian turned out to be the imperial history, and his face turned green in an instant, he was disrespectful to Li Yuntian just now, thinking that Li Yuntian was going to take revenge on him, and pleaded loudly.

"Take it down." Without waiting for the big man with the national character face to finish speaking, Li Yuntian interrupted him, got up and walked towards the main house, the reason why he took down these two big men was because they were involved in the case, as for the fox and fake tiger power of the big man with the national character face just now, he didn't take it to heart.

The two big men were then rudely dragged out of the courtyard by several soldiers and taken to the Shuntianfu prison.

"Miss, have you changed your clothes?" Entering the main room, Li Yuntian stood in front of the door of the inner room and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency can come in." Soon, the voice of the woman who tried to be raped by the little marquis came from the house.

Li Yuntian led the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division to enter, and then was slightly stunned.

The woman was already dressed neatly at this time, sitting quietly on the edge of the **, with long hair and a shawl, elegant temperament, although the delicate and beautiful cheeks were slightly pale, but instead added a strange charm, and her face was full of sadness, which made people can't help but have an urge to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

The maid standing next to the woman was a "touching" girl, and her messy clothes had been cleaned up, but her expression was extremely frightened.

"Arrest them." Shi Chang glanced at the little marquis who was lying in a pool of blood, and said to the soldiers behind him with an expressionless face.

"They are victims, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, those who rape the women are killed, and the killers are not guilty!" Li Yuntian raised his hand and stopped those soldiers.

"My lord, this is the second son of the loyal and righteous wait, if you don't arrest people, you can't explain to the Hou Ye." Shi Chang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly reminded Li Yuntian in a whisper.

"If you arrest people like this, how can this imperial history explain to the laws of the Ming Dynasty?" Li Yuntian knew that Shi Chang was afraid in his heart, so he glanced at him and said lightly, "Don't worry, this matter will be responsible for this imperial history to the end, and the Hou Ye will come to this imperial history if he has anything." ”

"My lord, what should I do if I am so small?" Shi Chang's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, and he smiled and asked for instructions.

"Lock down here, wait for the people of Shuntianfu to come." Li Yuntian groaned for a moment, explained to the chief in a deep voice, and then looked up at the woman sitting on the edge of the **, "Miss, the blood here is too heavy, and it is the scene of the crime, so it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, please wait in the hall." ”

"The people obeyed." Hearing this, the woman stood up and bowed slightly to Li Yuntian, and the maid on the side then supported her and helped her to the hall outside.

In the hall, Li Yuntian inquired about the master and servant, and learned that the two were from Wen'an County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi, the young lady's name was Liu Wenqing, and the maid's name was Zhu'er.

Liu Wenqing's parents died, so she took Zhu'er to the capital in March to join relatives, but she didn't expect that her relatives had moved out of the capital, and she didn't want to go back to Wen'an County, so she bought the small courtyard she now lived in, and bought a tavern for a couple of servants who followed her to run it, and her life was worry-free.

Half a month ago, Liu Wenqing went to the street to buy fabrics and prepare to make a few clothes for winter, but she met An Yihou's second son Gu Xi, and was immediately entangled by Gu Xi, flattering her in every possible way, wanting to accept her as a concubine, but she refused.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xi was so bold that he forcibly broke into the house tonight, and wanted to bow to Liu Wenqing's overlord, but was stabbed to death by Liu Wenqing with scissors.

"Wait for the people from Shuntianfu to come, you will truthfully inform them of the matter, there is a history of the emperor, and you will definitely be given justice."

Knowing what happened, Li Yuntian groaned for a while, and said to Liu Wenqing in a deep voice.

Since sooner or later there will be a confrontation with the people of the Han King, it is better to take this opportunity to make a proposal to Emperor Xuande, reorganize the power system of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and then restrain those nobles, at this time, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.

"Thank you, Lord Yushi." Liu Wenqing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she never thought that Li Yuntian would dare to offend a powerful magnate like An Yihou for such a powerless and weak woman like her, so she solemnly blessed Li Yuntian.

"This is the duty of this imperial history, why thank you?" Li Yuntian waved his hand to Liu Wenqing disappreciably, he felt a little ashamed to say it, this kind of rape of a woman in the capital can be described as a dereliction of duty by the imperial history, and he failed to control the security of the capital.

Soon after, a group of servants from Shuntian Mansion walked into the courtyard quickly, led by a general judge, surnamed Lu, who was on duty in Shuntian Mansion tonight, and was shocked to hear that An Yihou's second son had died, and hurriedly brought someone to check.

Liu Wenqing's master and servant were immediately taken back to Shuntian Mansion, and Li Yuntian also went with him, he was not only the imperial historian but also a witness to this incident, so he naturally had to provide testimony.

For this case, Lu Tongju felt a very headache, if Li Yuntian did not "intervene", Liu Wenqing and Zhu'er would be sentenced to death for homicide, in order to calm Gu Dayong's anger.

But Li Yuntian's testimony, coupled with the confessions of Liu Wenqing and Zhu'er, as well as Gu Xi's confession of the two followers, Gu Xi's forcible invasion of the house and his attempt to rape Liu Wenqing is beyond doubt, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Wenqing does not have to bear any responsibility for killing him.

But then again, after all, the one who died was the son of a Hou Ye, if he let Liu Wenqing go, wouldn't Gu Dayong turn Shuntianfu upside down? He himself will be implicated in this.

"Li Yushi, this case is a matter of importance, and the lower officials can't be the master, so let's wait for the Lord Zhizhong to interrogate it in person tomorrow." Therefore, after getting the confessions of Li Yuntian, Liu Wenqing and others, Lu Tongju smiled bitterly, arched his hand at Li Yuntian, and said helplessly, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of immortal fight, so he had to report the case to Shuntian Mansion to deal with it.

Li Yuntian knew the hardships of Lu Tong's sentence, so he didn't force it, but he took Liu Wenqing and Zhu'er from Shuntianfu and arranged them in an inn to prevent the two from encountering accidents in the Shuntianfu prison.

He had served as the magistrate of Hukou County, so he naturally knew the darkness in the prison, and it was easy for An Yihou's forces to want Liu Wenqing and Zhu'er's lives
