While talking, everyone was noisy and shouting, and they had already taken Zheng Yunming to the front of the Yamen of the deputy capital of Jiangzhou, and the big man brought Zheng Yunming over like a chicken: "I said you write it accordingly!" Master Dutong is above, and today there is Qiu Zhen, the fifth general of the left battalion of the strong and brave army, and all the officers and soldiers of the fifth general's team of 517, and I implore the master of Dutong to severely punish him."

"Don't be in a hurry," Zheng Yunming wrote in front of a case where the sergeant resisted: "And all the five hundred and seventeen soldiers of the fifth general's team, who will be punished?" ”

"Punish that bastard who assassinated our Commander Li! You then write: Master Qingtian, I Qiu Zhen and my subordinates all regard Commander Li as their parents, I heard that you have caught the murderer, please hand him over to Lao Ren, and I will pull off his head as a urinal! Commander Li has always been a good boss of our fifth general, the backbone, without him, we will fight an egg? If the golden dog next time, no, the Mongolian dog will come to fight the Jianghuai land again, don't blame the brothers for losing the battle, and let the deputy commander lose his official position! ”

"This guy actually knows how to threaten, I really underestimate this rough man" Zheng Yunming thought about it a little in his heart, and wrote with a pen: "Xi Zhao is incorruptible, and the Qin people are excited, the Han loses Li Guang, and the forehead is alone, since ancient times, thousands of troops can be obtained but good generals are not easy to get, Zhen and others think that the commander is loyal and brave, and he is the treasure of the army, so why die in the hands of Xiaoxiao?" Now the Tatars are arrogant, and the loyal ministers are lost first, how can they be righteous if they don't kill this disciple? The ministers of the capital are ten times more wise and brave than flying, and they should think about it. ”

"Lao Tzu said such a long paragraph, you just write a few words, okay, come on, hurry up and hand it over to the birdman of the deputy capital!" Qiu Zhen gave an order, and a junior colonel took the paper and hurriedly handed it to the garrison sergeant who was already in a cold sweat at the door. The sergeant seemed to have heard of Qiu Zhen's prestige a long time ago, so he took the paper and hurriedly sent it to the yamen.

Qiu Zhen waited at the door for a long time with his hands crossed his hands, only to see a young man who looked like a Confucian student walking out of the yamen, holding a piece of paper in his hand and saying, "Which gentleman wrote this paper, can you come out and see it?" ”

Qiu Zhen looked the little scholar up and down, and shouted: "It's me who is suing, who is this little scholar of yours." What about Li Dutong? ”

"Huh?" The scholar glanced at Qiu Zhen, shook his head and said, "I'm not asking who the bitter master is, the bitter master's paper has been written clearly, and I am asking who is writing the complaint." ”

Zheng Yunming stepped forward and responded: "It's a student, haven't you asked Mr. Gao's surname yet?" ”

The man replied: "Xia Guan is Zhi'an Fengjun Writing Machine Yiwen Du Shu, who is Mr.?" ”

"So you're a senior! The younger brother Zheng Yunming, counselor of the Jinghu Transfer Department of Xiangyang Mansion, is courteous! Zheng Yunming didn't expect to meet the person he wanted to visit in such a scene.

Qiu Zhen was taken aback, he didn't expect that he could catch a counselor by grabbing a random scholar on the street as a clerk, according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, his crime was not small.

Du Shu was even more taken aback and asked, "You are Zheng Yunming?" When Mr. Sun from Jingshi wrote to say that Zheng Gong's son and I were both studying under the same teacher, I really didn't believe it. When I saw it today, it was really dignified! ”

"I am, I heard that the senior's name has been a long time, and I recently heard that you were seconded to Anqingjun to do business, and it happened that I was passing by here on my way to work, so I came to visit."

"How can that have anything to do with this group of soldiers?"

Zheng Yunming pointed at Qiu Zhen, who was standing on the side, with the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Xiucai meeting a soldier." ”

Du Shu also laughed and said: "Since the defeat of the Northern Expedition, Li Dutong has gone to the front line in Gwangju, and now there is a deputy envoy Yang Hui Yang in charge, and the two of you will follow me to see you, and the soldiers are waiting outside, don't make trouble." ”

Zheng and Qiu were led by Du Shu and walked all the way to the White Tiger Festival Hall. Along the way, Zheng Yunming talked with Du Shu, only to learn that since the defeat of Duanping in Luo, the Mongols began to hoard food and weapons in Taiyuan, preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the Song Dynasty. Du Gao, a battle-hardened battlefield commander of the Zhi'an Feng Army, was on the front line and tripled the number of detailed work on the front line after his defeat in Luo. Recently, Du Gao has noticed an increase in the number of Mongol cavalry raids, and some cavalry has infiltrated the rear of the Song state's frontline state cities. Therefore, he specially sent his son, Du Shu, who was writing in the middle of the house, to the major generals in the rear to discuss how to support each other in the event of a change.

The two said that they had arrived at the White Tiger Festival Hall, which was originally just a place for the Privy Council to discuss matters, and after the southern crossing, the title was confused, and many generals began to privately call the capital hall where they handled military affairs the White Tiger Festival Hall.

Sitting high above the capital hall is the deputy envoy Yang Hui, deputy envoy Yang is a civilian official, even if he has achieved the high position of deputy commander of the army, he still lacks the prestige of a commander.

"I've already read the letter of request, this matter should have been handed over to the Criminal Prison Department to deal with, but now is an extraordinary time, so this murderer is temporarily imprisoned in the prison of the Prison Division. Li Dutong is currently preparing for war on the front line in Gwangju, and he must wait for him to return from the front line to hear this lawsuit. ”

Qiu Zhen was furious and shouted: "Then when will it take to catch the murderer, why not kill him now!" ”

Deputy Envoy Yang also raised his voice: "How can a case of homicide be decided in a hurry?" Even if he is found to be the murderer of Commander Lee, he must be reported to the Privy Council, and after approval, he will not be beheaded until a specific sentence. Now is not the time of war, how can you be so careless about your life? ”

Zheng Yunming saw that the two were about to clash, so he hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't be angry with the two of you first, it's better to pre-try this case now, if the evidence is conclusive, the deputy envoy also has the right to submit an official letter to the Privy Council, and it is better than Bai and the others coming back for a few months." ”

Yang Hui saw Zheng Yunming's civilian clothes, and said dissatisfiedly: "Dutang is a militaristic land, how can you let people in cloth clothes come in casually?" ”

Du Shu hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the deputy envoy.

When Yang Hui heard that it was the prime minister's son, he took in a little bit of majesty and said: "Since the prime minister's son wants to be tried, let's read the case first." ”

Du Shu picked up the file and sat down beside Zheng Yunming, telling the story of a bizarre public case.

Four days ago, Wang De, the commander of Suzhou, came to the banquet, and the officials of Anqing received him attentively, but Li, the commander of the local strong and brave army, suddenly disappeared during the banquet. The deputy capital of Huaixi, the Yamen, sent people to search around, and found that Commander Li had died in an ancestral hall two miles northwest of the state capital, and his chest was pierced by a sharp blade.

Thousands of strong warriors were only a guest army in the Anqing army, and Wang Fu, the commander of the capital, was reduced to two levels of military attache because of the fiasco in the battle of Luo, and now he is leading the main force to camp elsewhere. Thousands of people in Anqing have become the children raised by their stepmothers, and the soldiers have been restless day and night because they live in a foreign country, and a commander-level figure has died at this moment, and it is difficult to guarantee that these brave people will not do anything out of the ordinary.

The Metropolitan Department decided to solve the case quickly, but just a day after conducting a carpet search near the scene of the crime, Wang Detong, who was a guest, took a few personal soldiers to escort a murderer to the yamen to surrender.

According to Wang De's account, his subordinates' own soldiers secretly saw this person committing murder with their own eyes, and quietly followed the person to find out where he was staying, and then reported that the chief had brought someone to the yamen to bring him to the court.

Attached to the case file were the evidence presented in court, a sharp knife that the murderer used to kill his comrades, and a wax pill, which contained a secret book written in small letters.

After all, Zheng Yunming is a rookie who is completely ignorant of criminal investigation, if Song Ci is here, he can see the flaws on the spot. But Zheng Yunming pretended to look at it for a long time, and he didn't see anything strange about this bloodstained knife. What's the use of pinching the handle carefully? He didn't even know how to use wax film to get fingerprints.

After reading the murder weapon and reading the secret letters, they are just ordinary army numbers, garrisons, and defense maps, and this kind of daily intelligence letters, the border generals of Song and Jin receive no less than dozens of letters every year, and there is really no special suspicion.

"It doesn't look like there's anything suspicious, hmm" Zheng Yunming muttered, he is not a reader who likes detective reasoning serial schemes, in the real world, a murder case is often extremely simple and straightforward, and there are not so many murderers behind the scenes waiting to be revealed.

Qiu Zhen's eyes widened, and he said, "Since there is no doubt, drag this bird out and cut it as soon as possible!" ”

Yang Hui was also annoyed, "How can it be so easy, since the murderer was caught, he has completely denied all the charges, even if he is executed, he will not let go, how can such a case with no confession and only evidence pass the review of the Privy Council?" ”

"Slow and slow," Zheng Yunming said slowly, "It's better to bring the murderer to the court now and listen to his words." There is a way to listen to both the clear and partial belief is dark, please put me in this convenient. ”

Du Shu also said: "Since he took this guy, he has been unwilling to tell the details. It's better to ask him here to see if this guy really has any grievances. ”

Liu Hu couldn't refute the faces of the two civilian officials, and immediately ordered his own soldiers to bring the murderer in prison to court.

After a short time, the soldiers pressed a big man wearing shackles to the hall.

Zheng Yunming was shocked when he saw it: "It turned out to be you!" ”

Qin Wu was also taken aback when he saw Zheng Yunming: "How come the official is also here?" ”

"It's a long story, especially for your case" Zheng Yunming unfolded the folding fan and shook it slightly, "Anyway, how can you be regarded as a murderer?" ”

"Hmph, needless to say, I offended Wang De because of something, and I was framed by him and became a prisoner here."

"How much do you know about the killing of Commander Li?"

"Where do you know that when I was resting in the inn, I was led by Wang De's people to break in, and I was directly tied to the official office, and these people couldn't get me, but there was a girl who followed me, and it was not very convenient to walk, so they simply took it and then took it to do some care."

Yang Hui heard him openly say that he wanted to escape from prison in the capital hall, his brows furrowed, and he shouted: "Don't avoid the serious, this murder weapon is something you carry with you!" Tell me, it wasn't you who killed, how do you explain the murder weapon? And this wax pill book, did you also get it out of thin air? ”

Qin Wu responded unhurriedly: "I have already told the adults, I lost this knife when I was in the inn, this wax pill book is obviously fabricated by others to frame Gao, if the adults don't believe it, Qin has no good explanation!" ”

Qiu Zhen shouted: "There are human and material evidence, this guy is just quibbles!" Hurry up and give the order, and I will personally be the executioner to cut off his dog's head! ”

Yang Hui couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped the table suddenly: "Just you, Qiu Zhen, know everything!" Believe it or not, the Ponturado will kill you with a single order! ”

Zheng Yunming hurriedly came to the round: "The adults and the general should rest first, let's call the personal soldier of General Sun Zheng, who saw the murder with his own eyes, and listen to what he has to say?" ”

Yang Hui looked embarrassed: "That person is from the Huaidong Military Division, and I am afraid that it is not so easy to find after a layer of relationship." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zheng Yunming said: "Tell my scholar Xian'er to go with the soldiers with one thing, keep it, and obediently hand over the eyewitness." ”

Of course, the brocade belt given by the emperor was not something that could be disobeyed by a mere system, and the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Envoy Division brought the pro-soldier who claimed to have seen Qin Wu kill people with his own eyes.

As soon as the man saw Qin Wu standing in the hall, he immediately fell down and began to tell while crying.

(On the 4th, a chapter was cut off because of a power outage, and I apologized to the officials)
