Liu Chengfeng sat in the hall and waited for a while, the most important thing for him at the moment was to call the steward Deng Deng, as long as he explained the source of the tea, all the problems could be solved. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After waiting for a little half a cup of tea, the person in charge has not been escorted to him, Liu Chengfeng can't help but feel a little strange in his heart, although this mansion is not small, but it is impossible for a person to delay for so long. He was about to ask, when a lieutenant staggered in and said, "Great ...... My lord...... Something happened again. ”

Liu Chengfeng stood up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The lieutenant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Steward Deng Deng was poisoned and died, and he was already dead, and before he died, he said...... And said that Mrs...... Madame is so poisonous......"

Madame is so poisonous...... A trace of coldness flashed in Liu Chengfeng's eyes, and then he said, "Lead the way ahead and lead me to have a look." ”

Under the guidance of the captain, Liu Chengfeng went to the firewood room of Mao's mansion, which had been blocked by more than a dozen captains.

Dunden was an old man in his fifties, with gray temples, but at this moment, his body was completely cold, lying on the ground with his head crooked to the side, and black blood spilled out from his ears and nose.

The guy who was squatting next to Deng Deng saw Liu Chengfeng coming in, and hurriedly stepped aside, lowered his head and said: "My lord, just like Lord Mao, this Deng Deng was also poisoned by someone, and the villain checked it, and they should have been poisoned by arsenic." The villain checked it and found that there was still a lot of food left in Deng Deng's stomach, presumably this food had been poisoned in advance. ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded, and then summoned another lieutenant and asked, "When he was imprisoned, did anyone visit him?" ”

The lieutenant said, "Madame has been here before. ”

"Mrs. Mao, Wang's family?"

"Yes. When he came, he also carried a food box and said that he wanted to visit Dunden. ”

Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed, everything in front of him seemed to have been sorted out, the tea was sent by Deng Deng, and after poisoning Hou Mao Tong in Jingzhou, then Deng Deng was poisoned again, and the only person who had contact with Mao Tong was Mrs. Mao. This Wang clan clearly ordered Deng Deng to poison Mao Tong first, and then killed Deng Deng to kill him.

The biggest question at the moment is, after all, the Wang family is Mao Tong's wife, what good will it do her to poison her own husband?

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say: "Come on, go and call that Mao Wu." ”

Since it is the murder of her husband, then there must be a motive, and it is actually very simple to find this motive, that is, to understand the relationship between Mao Tong and Wang, Mao Wu is a confidant in Mao Tongxin's abdomen, and this person must know the inside story.

Mao Wu was found by several lieutenants, he hesitated into the firewood room, saw Deng Deng's corpse, his whole face was pale with fright, his body was a little disobedient and trembling slightly, he swallowed his saliva, and bowed uneasily to Liu Chengfeng, and said, "The villain has seen the adult." ”

Liu Chengfeng looked at him viciously, and said word by word: "I only ask you one thing, how does the Wang family usually get along with the Marquis of Jingzhou?" ”

Mao Wu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Madam and Hou Ye are very fond of each other, respect each other like guests, and the relationship is excellent." ”

Liu Chengfeng sneered: "Really? You're still trying to lie to me? Let me tell you the truth, the eight achievements of this case were done by the Wang family, and the people were also killed by the Wang family, you said that the Marquis of Jingzhou and the Wang family are close to each other, why did the Wang family want to kill the Marquis of Jingzhou? You evil slave, do you still want to hide it? But if you don't tell the truth, I'll have someone take you this day, and I'll say that you're killing the lord, and weigh it yourself. ”

Mao Wu was even more frightened and trembled, and hurriedly said: "The villain is wronged, what the villain said is true, if the adult doesn't believe you, you can ask others, Mrs. and Hou Ye are indeed respectful of each other, if the villain has a lie, the sky will hit five thunders!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Chengfeng just doesn't believe it, and it's strange to say, a couple who respect each other like guests, the wife will kill her husband, Liu Chengfeng will never believe it, but what's the problem?

Liu Chengfeng sneered and said slowly: "Really? I believe what you say, but I only ask you, is there any conflict between Madame and Master Hou? I also give you a word of truth, a dignified Hou Ye is dead, it is not clear, the court is now anxious to find the murderer, if Jinyiwei can't find out any results, in the end he can only use you as a scapegoat, you also followed the Marquis of Jingzhou to see some people in the world, the stakes here must not be said You can understand! ”

Liu Chengfeng was frightened, and suddenly Mao Wu was stunned, and hurriedly shouted injustice, after a while, he finally gritted his teeth, glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and said: "My lord, the villain will never dare to have any second thoughts about my housewife, but then again, now that the Hou Ye is dead, the villain does not dare to hide some things, the villain does know some inside information, but ...... Just ......"

Liu Chengfeng heard Mao Wu's voice: "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to say it, I will naturally not teach you to be embarrassed, after this incident, I will give you a sum of silver, which is enough to make you go away from home, and you will never be involved in the rights and wrongs of this Beijing master again." ”

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little excited at this time, if this Mao had something to do with King Ning? As Mao Tong's most trusted confidant, will Mao Wu know the inside story, if he does, then not only will Mao Tong's case be overunderstood, but King Ning's case will also be revealed.

Mao Wu said gratefully: "Lord Xie." Then the villain said. The Marquis of Jingzhou committed something when he was the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. So this time, I deliberately said that I was sick and returned to Beijing, just to plug this hole. ”

"Something wrong? What's up? ”

Mao Wudao: "In recent years, the imperial court has gradually increased the military salary to the border town, in addition, it has also specially allocated a batch of firecrackers, so that the nine sides of each set up a Shenji battalion, adults must also know that the cost of firecrackers is extremely high, and at that time, the demand for firecrackers is also very large, such as North Korea, in the purchase of firearms, the commercial bank is open to supply, but the price is too high, so the North Koreans thought of a way, want to buy some firecrackers from Liaodong and Jiubian privately, Jingzhou Hou Jian is profitable, I ate lard for a while, and I was blinded, but I sold a batch to ......"

Liu Chengfeng's heart couldn't help but sink a little, it turned out that what the Marquis of Jingzhou committed had nothing to do with King Ning at all, but involved the theft and sale of arms and corruption.

"Originally, it was okay to steal and sell some firearms in the border town, but in fact, eating military salaries and selling weapons has always been the case on the Jiubian side, and everyone has long been accustomed to it. The problem lies in the Ministry of War, recently Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, wrote a book, saying that he wanted to inspect the results of the Shenji Battalion in various towns, and he wanted to send a patrol to the nine sides to inspect, and my marquis was anxious when he heard the news, so he hurriedly returned to Beijing, saying that he was sick, but in fact, he wanted to come back and open up the joints. ”

Liu Chengfeng squinted his eyes, he naturally understood what Mao Wu meant, the so-called opening up the joints is actually the relationship between the military department and covering up this matter. It's no wonder that Mao Wu refused to leave Beijing, presumably because the joints had not been dredged, and he could only sit and wait for death after going back, so he could only spend time in this Beijing division.

After all, although the crime of stealing and selling firearms is not high, but after all, he is a meritorious service, once it reaches the ears of the emperor, it will become a deception, and it is not easy for the ancestors to earn the title, which Mao Tong can only make this decision now.

"Actually, Lord Mao's joints have been opened, but the patrol of the military department put down his words, and he can't cover up the theft and sale of weapons, and if he wants to get through the tricks, it is impossible to simply dredge in the military department, the only way is to find a scapegoat, that is, when the time comes, all the blame will be put on the heads of others, and Lord Mao is in Beijing, and this is what he has been planning."

Liu Chengfeng nodded, he understood what Mao Wu said, Liu Daxia asked to test the Shenji battalions in various towns, he must have made up his mind, the officials below can fool him, but they will never dare to reverse right and wrong, so the theft and sale of arms will definitely be exposed, so to fill this hole, it is not to refer to the deer as a horse, but to plant it to others.

Mao Wu swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and continued: "After Master Hou comprehended it, he ...... Poop ......"

"What?" Liu Chengfeng urged, and until now, Liu Chengfeng didn't know why the Wang family had the motive to kill Mao Tong, which made him a little impatient.

Mao Wudao: "If you want to plant a, you must have the right person, not everyone can plant it, and the quartermaster in Shanhaiguan is the general Wang Fen, if you really want to plant it, the only way for my marquis is to buckle this basin on Wang Fen's head, just ...... It's just that this Wang Fen is the queen of Luzhou, and he is also ...... He is also the brother of my wife. ”

Liu Chengfeng suddenly understood, Mao Tong wanted to plant the blame, the object of the planting was the people of the Hou family in Luzhou, in fact, this is also normal, once people are forced into a dead end, who will care if you have in-laws, presumably the Wang family got the news, and finally the news was transferred to Mrs. Mao's Wang to know, although the Wang family and her husband are respectful, but Wang Fen is her brother after all, her husband doesn't even say hello, he wants to put his brother to death, in this case, only God knows what Wang will do.

After all, the combination of the Wang family and the Marquis of Jingzhou was originally the result of the reconciliation of the big families. Now that such a big crime has been planted on the head of the Wang family, not only Wang Fen's crime is unforgivable, but the entire Luzhou Hou Wang family will be implicated, does the Wang family still have a choice?

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help sighing, the case has been investigated until now, and it turned out to be this result, which really made him unexpected.

He shook his spirits, his eyes flashed a trace of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Go and find the Wang family!" ”
