Chapter 201: Murder
But after asking the jailer, when he was on patrol ahead, Ambassador Liu still chatted with the jailer with a calm expression, and he looked happy, but when he came back after an hour, he found that he was hanging from the prison door, his belt was tightly tied to his neck, and his tongue was sticking out of the elder!
Wei Wu frowned,
"My lord, but someone killed him from the outside?"
If someone kills this person from outside, it can't be said that someone in the brocade guard has moved!
Huo Xun replied,
"It's strange that if someone dies Jin from the outside, how can he untie his own belt, and there is no trace of struggle in his limbs, but it is like his own belt is untied and his neck is killed, and he invites people to Jin!"
Wei Wu Shen said,
"If you threaten the life of your family, it's not that you can't let him die spontaneously!"
Huo Xun frowned,
"But when he confessed, Jinyiwei had already sent someone to secretly send their family away, and this matter was personally sent by Commander Mu, and even the official didn't know where to go!"
Wei Wu was also stunned, thought for a while,
"The caretaker brothers...... Bought off? ”
Huo Xun shook his head and said,
"Serious offenders are often imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, and they are afraid that the jailers will be bribed, so the officers on duty are divided into three groups when they are arranged, with three people in each team, and one person is selected from the three every hour to exchange with the side group, and the list of personnel who change the group is randomly selected by the official every day, and there is no certain rule!"
If someone wants to kill this surnamed Liu, it is possible to buy all the people on duty today, but in fact, the people on duty today are also determined by Huo Xun's drawing of lots, that is, even he doesn't know who will be arranged today!
It seems very strange in this way!
Huo Xun to Wei Wudao,
"But because of this, it seems that this official is sure that there is a traitor in Jinyiwei, and he can kill people in such a strict prison, he must be a person who is very familiar with Jinyiwei, and this official specially summoned you back to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
When Wei Wu saw the corpse of Ambassador Liu, he had already vaguely guessed in his heart that Huo Xun would hand over this matter to him for investigation, presumably because this case was tried by himself, and even if Jinyiwei was a traitor, it would not be on his head.
He just thought that Huo Xun was suspicious and didn't dare to use others now, but he didn't know that there was another layer of this, but it was the commander Mu Bin who personally ordered Wei Wu, as for why the commander wanted to personally order Wei Wu, a fledgling boy, Huo Xun didn't know!
At the moment, he was busy clasping his hands into fists and saluting,
"But by your lordship's orders!"
Huo Xun nodded,
"In fact, the focus of this case is not how the surnamed Liu died in the edict prison, the killing of this person must be because of the Yancang case, this official wants you to secretly investigate the illegal sale of salt by the official, as long as this case is solved, the murderer will naturally come to light!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Hmmm! Without further ado, let's go tonight! ”
"Yes!"
Wei Wu knew that this case was very important, and now he couldn't hide from this situation, but now he went to see Mu Bin and asked where Liu Xiaoyi's family was hiding.
Mu Bin nodded and said,
"I guess you're going to ask......"
But just as he was about to speak, someone suddenly reported outside,
"Commander, there is an urgent report!"
Mu Bin thought for a while and said in a deep voice,
"Come in!"
Wei Wu hurriedly retreated to the side and bowed his head, and sure enough, he saw the bright red corner of his robe flashing in front of his eyes, and someone came in and knelt down on one knee and presented a secret report,
"Your Excellency!"
Mu Bin took it and took a look, but his face changed,
"Wei Wu, come here!"
Wei Wu went over as he said, took the secret letter handed over by Mu Bin and looked at it, his eyes narrowed at the moment, and he heard Mu Bin say,
"It seems that there is indeed a mole in my brocade guard!"
But it turned out that Liu Xiaoyan's whole family was killed in the secret place where they were hiding, and even the Jinyi Guard, who was responsible for protecting and monitoring nearby, could not escape the doom, Wei Wu's brows were furrowed,
"Please go and inspect the scene!"
Mu Bin nodded,
"How many people do you need?"
Wei Wu thought for a moment and responded,
"Only the two of them, Wang Xing and Zhong Shun!"
There are many people who move a lot, but they make mistakes!
Mu Bin nodded,
"Go ahead!"
But he personally issued three waist cards for the Jinyi Wei Office, and after Wei Wu put it away, he saluted and withdrew.
turned around and came out to find Wang Xing and Zhong Yi, the two of them couldn't help but lift their spirits when they heard that the case had fallen into their hands, Zhong Shun said happily,
"Xiaoqi, what are we going to do now? But lead people to inspect the scene of the Liu family's death first? ”
Wei Wu looked up at the sky, it was dark when he entered the yamen, and it was already bright when he came out, and he was hungry after not sleeping all night, so he stretched his waist and moved his hands and feet.
"Don't worry, let's go have breakfast first!"
"Breakfast?"
Wei Wu ignored the surprise of the two, but went straight to lead the horse.
"Wang Laosan's buns in front of Chengsheng Academy are the most thin-skinned and meaty, and my mouth is full ......of oil when I bite it, and I think panic when I don't eat it for a day."
The two didn't know why he had to rush to Chengsheng Academy to eat steamed buns, but Shangguan's order could not be violated, so they had to obediently follow to Chengsheng Academy, and when they arrived, Wei Wu asked the two to sit down in Wang Laosan's steamed bun shop first, but he found an excuse to go out, waiting for the carriage of the Han Mansion at the corner, and when he saw Han Zhongyang whipping the horse from a distance, the carriage flashed and opened the curtain when it was close, and the person rushed up.
In the carriage, Han Qi and Tao Li saw that he didn't raise their eyebrows, Tao Li was already surprised now, glared at Wei Wu hatefully, raised his hand and knocked on the wall of the car spontaneously, Han Zhong stopped the carriage, and when Tao Li went down, Wei Wu went over and pulled Han Qi's little hand.
"Third Miss, I'm going out on an errand, I'll leave after saying goodbye to you!"
Han Qi saw that his expression was slightly dignified, but he was less relaxed than the banter on weekdays, tilted his head and thought about it,
"But what about the case of Marquis Shouning and Marquis Jianchang?"
Wei Wu nodded, leaned over and whispered,
"The little official who confessed to this case died in the edict prison, and the whole family was not left last night!"
In this way, according to the hour, I am afraid that it is the hands of both sides at the same time!
Han Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and grabbed his hand with his backhand.
"Be careful!"
In the previous life, these two uncles of the country, until Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, were still alive and well, and they were still flying as usual, and in this life, they did to kill the whole family in order to kill the mouth, and it was not difficult to kill one or two brocade guards!
Wei Wu nodded and took her little hand and kissed her,
"Third Miss, take care!"
Han Qi nodded, watching him lift the curtain and go out, Wei Wu got out of the car but stepped in front of the car window in two steps, sure enough, he saw Han Qi lift the curtain, looked out worriedly, and saw him standing in front of the window, he couldn't help but blush, Wei Wu grinned at her, revealing a mouth full of white teeth,
"Third Miss, don't worry, I'll be careful!"
Han Qi bit his lip and nodded, the little white teeth bit his lips red and turned white, Wei Wu wanted to go up and stroke it, but he was in the way of this street, so he had no choice but to harden his heart and turn around and walk across the street, and when he arrived at Wang Laosan's bun shop, he shouted at Wang Laosan, whose waist was like a bucket,
"Wang Laosan gave the master twenty meat buns, and he wanted to pick the biggest one, which was as white as your mother-in-law!"
Wang Laosan has been used to messing with them for a long time, and when he heard this, he laughed and scolded,
"Mother-in-law can be your mother, stinky boy!"
Wei Wu and that Wang Xing and Zhong Shun had breakfast, and then they went out of the city, and the whole family of Ambassador Liu was taken to a village residence not far from Beijing by Jinyiwei, because of the murder, the local yamen has sent someone to seal the house where the murder occurred, but the people of Jinyiwei had already sent a letter over, and ordered to wait for the people in Beijing to come to check, and the dead bodies were not allowed to be moved, and only a few officials were sent to guard.
These officials have also seen the miserable situation of the house before, and now a few people are guarding the outside of the house full of dead people, and this place is a little biased, even in the summer, they can't help but feel the cool air in their vests, and they can't help but come to one place and scold secretly,
"Damn, why haven't the people of Jinyiwei come yet, it won't take half a day to attract flies in such weather!"
This is just in June, the weather is getting hotter, slow to say that the house is full of dead bodies, that is, the town sells pork from time to time with cold water to wipe the pork, but also only sold for half a day, the second half of the day to throw away at a cheap price, to stay in the sun for a whole day, in the evening is for the dog to eat, the dog is not eaten!
The officials were complaining, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and everyone was immediately refreshed.
"It's coming!"
This car really saw the arrival of the three horsemen, but they were only dressed as ordinary warriors, but they were all born with extraordinary appearances, and their bodies were also very tall, and the one at the head was very young and the most handsome.
The young man who had the head turned over and dismounted, and came over and said,
"Everyone, Jinyiwei is handling the case!"
But with a flip of the hand, the waist card was shown to everyone, and everyone immediately nodded and bowed, and the head of the team pointed to the inside.
"Three adults, everything inside is still the same, don't dare to move the slightest!"
"Hmm!"
Wei Wu nodded, threw the reins of the horse to one of them, and walked in first, as soon as he pushed open the half-hidden main door of the hall, the stuffy air mixed with a faint smell came to his face, Wei Wu had already prepared to take a handkerchief and tie it at the back of his head, and block the smell.
When I entered the house, I saw blood all over the ground, and it was the time when the flies were growing, but because the yamen had expected this earlier, they closed the doors and windows of the whole house from the outside.
The Liu family has a total of 12 people, all arranged in this small courtyard by Jinyiwei, and the time of death should be at dinner last night, six people in the main hall were hacked and killed, the corpses were everywhere, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table overturned.
Two people fell to the ground in a pool of blood, both of them had their throats slashed and bled out, three of them lay on the table, stabbed from behind, and one woman fell on the threshold leading to the inner chamber, the back of her neck was slashed, her head was almost cut off, and blood gushed out from her neck and spurted to the floor of the inner chamber.
