Chapter 061: The Cui Family's Murder Case
When Qin Xuan heard the shouting, he secretly said in his heart: Duan Yingming is always babbling like this, he has to shout about any miscellaneous and trivial things! Throwing the chess pieces in his hand onto the chessboard, he reluctantly got up and asked casually: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
Duan Yingming gasped and said intermittently: "Dongjie...... Lane 3...... Imperial Doctor Cui Wenliang is dead! ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then thought in his heart: In such a big place, what is there to make a fuss about a dead person, can't he attach so much importance to it just because he is a doctor of imperial history! said casually: "There are tens of thousands of people in Lifang, and one dies occasionally, is it so nervous?" ”
Liu Qingshan, who was on the side, saw that Qin Xuan didn't care, and explained: "Cui Wenliang and Master Cui are in their thirties, and they don't have any diseases, I'm afraid they ......."
Duan Yingming also blurted out: "Yes, it seems that he killed him?" ”
Qin Xuan's eyes widened suddenly. "He killed?"
Duan Yingming nodded fiercely and said, "Well, it should be, Wuhou and Ya Gong have gone a lot!" ”
Qin Xuan spat at the mouth, and said in his heart: I just became a Fangzheng, and I encountered a murder, what is the problem?
Liu Qingshan thought for a moment and blurted out: "Fang Zheng, let's go to Cui Mansion quickly, if Lord Changshi goes first, I'm afraid I will be blamed!" ”
Qin Xuan was puzzled: "What's the matter with Guan Changshi?" ”
Liu Qingshan didn't think much about it, and explained: "Kyoto should be under the jurisdiction of the Yongzhou Thorn History, and before His Majesty ascended the throne, it was the Yongzhou Thorn History. After succeeding to the throne, Xu was worried that someone would misunderstand, so far there has been no Yongzhou Assassin History, if a major event occurs in Chang'an, it is generally handled by the Yongzhou Assassin Governor! ”
Qin Xuan understood what was going on, took Li Qingrui and Liu Qingshan, and hurriedly went straight to Cui's mansion.
When Fang arrived at the gate of Cui's mansion, he saw several martial marquis guarding both sides of the Zhu Gate. Qin Xuan swallowed and foamed, stepped forward and said, "It's Pingkang Fangzheng down there, I heard that there was a murder here, so I hurried here!" ”
A martial artist glanced sideways at Qin Xuan, and said casually, "En, hurry up and go in!" ”
When Qin Xuan walked into the gate of Cui's mansion, a servant stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Qin Xuan bowed slightly, and said calmly: "It's Pingkang Fangzheng down there, I'm here to understand the situation!" ”
The official glanced at Qin Xuan up and down, a little disdainful, and replied coldly: "Let's go, I'll take you to the scene!" ”
The scene of the murder, that is, Cui Wenliang's study.
Walking into the study, the first thing that caught Qin Xuan's eye was the body of Cui Wenliang, who had been dead for a long time. Head west and foot east, lying on the ground. The original plain white undershirt was stained black and blue with blackened blood, and a dagger was stuck in his back. After only a cursory glance, Qin Xuan secretly said in his heart: The dagger is on his back, he definitely killed it, the blood is black, and there must be a poison on the dagger!
When he got closer, Cui Wenliang stared at the door with fierce eyes, and Qin Xuan said secretly: Don't look at death!
Looking closely, on Cui Wenliang's right hand, there were two crooked blood characters: Du Wei! Seeing these two blood words, Qin Xuan's heart couldn't help but move: Du Wei? Who is Du Go? It seems that this murder case is inseparable from Du Wei.
The servant on the side carefully pulled out the dagger, Qin Xuan looked sideways, the dagger was black all over, and even the blood on it was dark.
After looking at it for a long time, Qin Xuan didn't find anything suspicious, so he looked around Cui Wenliang's study. The study sits on the north and faces south, and the windows are quite large, and the light transmission is excellent. Qin Xuan said secretly: The study is bright, and Cui Wenliang must have loved reading very much before his death.
I took a few steps inside and arrived at the square table. On the table was an open fold with no words on it. Behind the desk, a chair looks a little old, and then there is a candlestick more than a person high on the left and on the right. Qin Xuan stood on his toes, saw the oil lamp placed on it, and said in his heart: Cui Wenliang is also smart, in this way, the room will be brighter at night, but it is a little difficult to light it.
About half a moment, the entire study was carefully inspected by Qin Xuan. Looking back, he was still squatting beside Cui Wenliang, not knowing what he was doing. He went straight out of the study.
An old man who was nearly sixty years old and a little hunchbacked next to the door trembled slightly, looking very nervous, which attracted Qin Xuan's attention.
Qin Xuan walked up to the old man and asked calmly, "I don't know what the relationship between the old man and Master Cui is?" Seeing that you are so anxious, could it be Lord Cui's relatives? ”
The old man was slightly stunned, and sighed: "The little old man is Cui Kelai, a subordinate of Cui's house, and Lord Cui has neither a wife nor any relatives!" ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, his tone became even more amiable, and said, "Elder Cui is so anxious, it seems that he must be loyal to Master Cui!" ”
Cui Kelai waved his hand and blurted out: "Little Lao'er is naturally loyal to my master, but he is nervous at the moment, but he is worried!" The old man is alone, this time he died, and there is only one subordinate in the house, if the little old man is suspected of murder for money, what should I do? ”
Qin Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Elder Cui doesn't have to worry, if you are not a murderer, you will naturally not be wronged!" Suddenly, thinking of Cui Wenliang being alone, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked casually: "Master Cui is also a bit famous, but I don't know why I haven't married a wife yet?" ”
Cui Kelai sighed and replied, "The old man was worried about the courtesan Caiyun girl of the Huancai Pavilion, so he didn't marry a wife for a long time!" ”
Qin Xuan said in his heart: I didn't expect this Lord Cui to still be an infatuated species! opened his mouth and said: "Lord Cui is too, why don't you redeem Miss Caiyun directly back home?" ”
The old man shook his head, waved his hand and said: "The son doesn't know, Miss Caiyun is one of the four great Oiran of the Huancai Pavilion, how can the old bustard let go, not to mention that my master is not the only one who loves Caiyun!" ”
Everyone has the heart of gossip, and Qin Xuan is no exception, and asked suspiciously: "Oh? Do you know anyone else who likes clouds? ”
Cui Kelai stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and replied helplessly: "This little old man is not very clear!" However, three days ago, my lord and Lai Guogong Du Wei had a dispute because of Miss Caiyun! ”
When Qin Xuan heard Du Gou, he said in his heart: The two blood characters are also Du Gou, so it seems that Du Gou is the most suspicious! Then he asked, "Then your master, have you behaved abnormally recently?" ”
Cui Kelai thought for a moment and said, "It's not anything abnormal, it's just that I have suddenly become obsessed with poetry recently, and I have been thinking about a poem over and over again, and I can memorize it when I hear it!" ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he thought: "Doctor Yu Shi doesn't know what good poems there are?" Check it out! Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked, "Elder Cui, if you remember, can you tell me about it?" ”
Cui Kelai thought back slightly, and blurted out: "The lamp is eight feet high, and it is clearer, and the half-zhang square next to him is gradually brightening." This poem must be carefully tasted in order to unlock the middle bell! ”
After listening to this, Qin Xuan secretly said in his heart: What kind of mess, this is also called poetry? It's a preface and a postscript! Cui Wenliang is also a doctor of imperial history, how can he make such poems? By the way, as a minister, he must go to court every day, so Cui Wenliang should have died last night! Thinking of this, he asked again, "Did you hear any sounds last night?" ”
Cui Kelai shook his head and replied, "Last night, the house was calm and quiet, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. The little old man also got up this morning and asked the master to prepare to go to court, only to find that the master had died! ”
After chatting with Cui Kelai for more than half an hour, a man dressed in an official robe and walking with a high toe led several officials into the courtyard gate. Liu Qingshan, who was on the side, softly reminded Qin Xuan: "Fang Zheng, that big-bellied poop and white-faced person is Lu Chengqing, the eldest of the long history!" ”
Qin Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Got it!" ”
When Lu Chengqing passed by Qin Xuan, he glanced sideways, saw Liu Qingshan following behind Qin Xuan, and said casually: "You are the new Pingkang Fangzheng?" ”
Qin Xuan bowed his hand and said, "Lord Hui, the humble position is exact!" ”
I saw Lu Chengqing's face pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Hmph, I don't know how you managed Lifang, only a few days after taking office, there was a murder!" ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he said in his heart: What does such a big murder case have to do with my small Fang Zheng, if it is a dereliction of duty, it should be your dereliction of duty! I thought truthfully in my heart, but I couldn't show it on my face, so I bent down and replied: "If you know your mistakes, you will be careful in the future!" ”
Lu Chengqing was addicted to official addiction, and seeing that Qin Xuan's attitude was not bad, he nodded and said: "Well, it's good to know your mistakes, and you will have to worry about it in the future!" Okay, let's go in and have a look! ”
Qin Xuan replied, "Yes!" ”
Walking into the study, the servant on the side walked straight and saluted Lu Chengqing: "Lord Qiyu, I have checked it several times, and it has been determined that he killed him!" ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he smiled in his heart: I'll go, it's so obvious, I know at a glance that he killed him, and I checked it several times, you are really stupid!
Lu Chengqing's face showed a hint of seriousness, and asked, "Tell me in detail!" ”
He nodded and replied, "Yes, my lord!" It was confirmed that it was caused by a dagger covered with a highly poisonous crane top red, which went straight to the heart! ”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded slightly, and said secretly: Some skills can actually see what poison is!
Lu Chengqing's brows furrowed unconsciously, and he turned his head to ask the official on the side, "Have you found any clues?" ”
The official Shi Li said: "Lord Yu, there are two blood characters on the right hand side of Lord Cui, although they are a little crooked, but they can still distinguish the word 'Du Gou'!" ”
Lu Chengqing suddenly looked sideways and exclaimed, "Du Wei? But Lai Guogong Du Gou? ”
The official bowed his head and said: "I don't know about the humble position, but it is indeed the same as the name of the Lai Guogong!" ”
Lu Chengqing also found that he had just a little Meng Lang, and he was almost manipulated, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Well, what other clues are there?" ”
The official said slowly: "The lowly party has only been investigated, and Lai Guogong and Master Cui have had a dispute over the courtesan Caiyun of the Huancai Pavilion!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Chengqing nodded, and said, "Tell me in detail!" ”
"Three days ago, Master Cui, as usual, went to the Huancai Pavilion to look for Caiyun. never thought that Caiyun was drinking with Lai Guogong that day. After Master Cui learned about it, he was angry for a while, so he rushed into Caiyun's boudoir and quarreled with Lai Guogong for a few moments. In the end, under the persuasion of Caiyun, I gave up! The official spoke clearly and said 1510.
Lu Chengqing nodded slightly, and asked again: "When did Lord Cui die?" ”
"Back to my lord, after about ugly time, before Yinshi!" He hurriedly replied.
Lu Chengqing turned his head again and asked the officer, "Have you ever asked Fang Ding, were there any idle people waiting around last night?" ”
The official said calmly: "The humble official has already asked the Fang Ding on duty last night, and no one has appeared near the Cui Mansion since last night!" ”
Seeing Lu Chengqing ask this and that for a while, Qin Xuan's heart moved: Lu Chengqing, can't you ask one by one? Do you have to show off your official position?;
