Chapter 30: The Wen Family Murder

"The emperor has to learn to get used to it, I'm going to leave Yongchuan soon!" Sima Duanli said slowly.

"It seems that I have to find another adventure buddy!" Mo Li felt that what he said was the truth, and sighed helplessly.

"I don't know what the emperor's new trick is?" After all, Sima Duanli couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked.

Mo Li raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly: "This is inspired by the predation of the praying mantis!" Come on, let's make a comparison here! ”

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the palace: "Your Majesty, the slave has an urgent matter!" ”

Mo Lizheng put on a posture, frowned in annoyance when he heard this, and said reluctantly: "Enter!" ”

The door of the hall was pushed open, and Xiao Fuzi ran in in a panic.

Mo Li had already sat upright, recovering the young emperor who was not evil but strict, and was majestic.

Xiao Fuzi whispered something in his ear.

Mo Li's expression changed slightly: "There is such a thing? Announce him in! ”

Zhen Bei and Sima Duanli glanced at each other, and they both had some bad premonitions.

After a while, a thin middle-aged man in an official robe hurriedly walked into the main hall.

He knelt on the ground and bowed: "Shiqi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, meet the emperor, long live my emperor!" ”

Mo Li frowned and said, "How could the admission letter disappear out of thin air?" What's going on, let's find out quickly! ”

Mistaken in your admission letter?

Zhen Bei and Sima Duanli were shocked when they heard this, this matter can be big or small, if they lost it a few days ago, they would just quietly ask people to go to the academy to ask for two, but it happened when they were about to leave.

At this time, it is too late to send people to Hanmen Academy to take another place, and once the news leaks out, even Zhang Admission's letter will not be well guarded, and this matter will definitely make Yongchuan Kingdom a laughing stock of other countries!

Beads of sweat dripped from Shi Qi's forehead, he stabilized his mind, and said: "Back to the emperor, this thing has always been kept by Lord Lang Wen, who is a member of the staff, and the matter of yesterday's seal was also done by him in the palace!" But, for some reason, Lord Wen didn't put the letter back in the archive room of the Ministry of Rites this time. Moreover, he did not come to the Ministry of Rites today! The officials sent someone to his house to check the situation, only to know that he had been killed on the collapse of the concubine! And those two admission letters are gone! ”

For other people, this admission letter is just a piece of waste paper, and has no other use value, if it is said that they killed people for them, it can't be justified anyway, and the murderer should have another reason for killing Lord Wen!

Mo Li said angrily: "There is such a thing! Can the government be notified to find out who the murderer is? ”

Shi Qi said in a trembling voice: "Not yet, Liu Junshou is sending people to look for Lord Wen's head everywhere......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped.

In the following time, from Shi Qi's intermittent words, Zhenbei finally figured out the whole thing!

This Lord Wen's name is Wen Shan, and the official is a member of the Ministry of Rites.

After finishing an errand from the palace yesterday, he didn't return to the household department for some reason, but rushed back to the mansion directly.

There were guests visiting the Wen Mansion last night, and he inevitably drank a few more glasses of wine, and stayed in his concubine's room that night.

Early in the morning, the subordinates who were responsible for serving him to the court, seeing that they were about to run out of time, had to go over and bang on the door to make the master collapse.

The concubine was awakened from her sleep, only to find that the master did not get up to wash and change clothes as usual.

She called "master" twice, but the other party did not answer, and pushed a few but did not respond, thinking that he had not been greedy for a glass of wine the night before, and slept too deeply, so he went to open the door on his behalf and ordered the people to enter the house to serve.

However, no matter how a few people called, Lord Wen still slept with his head covered and did not move in the slightest, and they realized that something was unusual.

One person had the courage to lift the futon, only to realize that the old man in the quilt had become a headless corpse.

The little concubine fainted on the spot.

"Lang Lang Qiankun, he dared to be so bold as to kill the court officials!" Mo Li was furious.

After what happened, she always felt that the emperor's words and deeds were more suspicious of improvisation!

But no matter what, the emperor was furious, and there was no reason to be indifferent as a courtier.

"The emperor is angry!" Several people present were busy kneeling on the ground and said in unison.

Mo Li took a long breath and sighed faintly: "He Shangshu had another heart attack last night, and he needs to recuperate Xun for half a month, and I have allowed it." Presumably he has already left Xianyang at this time! I'm afraid this case will be difficult to solve in two days—"

Heart disease?

Zhen Bei secretly wondered: That fox was still pestering her to play chess during the day yesterday, and she was sick at night?

She came back to her senses again and found that the emperor's eyes were falling on her.

Seeing that he looked at her meaningfully, he turned his anger into joy and said: "I almost forgot that Gu Xiaogongzi was here, and it is only fitting that this case will be handed over to you!" Gu Zhenbei and Sima Duanli obey orders! I want you to solve this case as quickly as possible, get back the admission letter, and don't miss the time for admission! ”

Regardless of whether the disappearance of the admission letter of Hanmen Academy is related to Wen Shan's murderer, it is indeed an urgent matter to find out Wen Shan's whereabouts yesterday and find out the letter!

Zhen Bei and Sima Duanli said in unison: "Obey! ”

Coming out of the palace, the two went straight to the Wen Mansion.

Wen Mansion was full of people talking about it in the morning, and on both sides of the vermilion gate, there were several officers and soldiers with silver spears standing.

Zhen Bei and the two peeled off the crowd and walked over, but were stopped by officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the two of them were well-dressed, the officers and soldiers led by them did not dare to slack off, and politely explained: "Son, please stay, there is a murder in the Wen family right now." Lord Liu has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave the mansion at will until the matter is investigated! ”

Sima Duanli lit up the token, and the officers and soldiers hurriedly saluted silently and stepped aside.

At this time, the lifeless and desolate scene in the Wen Mansion was completely devoid of the noise and excitement of the past.

The people held their breath one by one, and their steps were brisk and hurried back and forth.

Lord Liu has received the emperor's dictation and returned to the palace, and the one who stayed in the Wen Mansion to assist in the investigation of the case is still Master Chen, whom Zhenbei had seen before.

"Two sons, the villain is polite!" Master Chen arched his hand, his eyes were fixed on Zhen Bei, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, "Master Gu, we meet again!" ”

In the case of Master Wushan, Zhen Bei's investigation ability made him extremely respectful!

"Master Chen!" Zhen Bei bowed her hand and saluted.

In the distance, there was a heart-rending cry of a woman, and the heart of the people felt compassion.

Master Chen sighed regretfully: "It's Aunt Liu!" When she saw the death of Master Wen, she fainted in fright, and the poor surprise actually moved the fetal gas, and even the child in her womb was not saved, and now she just woke up not long after...... Two sons, but you want to go over and see her? ”

Zhen Bei groaned: "Aunt Liu, wait for her mood to stabilize, it's not too late!" We still want to go to the scene of the crime and have a look! ”

She paused slightly, and looked at Sima Duanli: "What does Brother Sima think?" ”

Sima Duanli scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Brother Gu, it's good for you to make your own decisions here!" It's okay for me to dance with a gun and a knife, but I can turn my brain to solve the case, and I can't do it if I am killed! Hehe, if there is any errand work, brother Gu, don't be polite, just tell me! ”

Zhenbei glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Okay, I will!" Master Chen, please lead the way! ”

Master Chen hurriedly bowed down and said, "Two of you, please!" ”

Aunt Liu lives in a separate courtyard isolated by flowers and bamboos, and the courtyard is full of exotic flowers and plants, and the design is unique.

Lord Wen's body has been moved to the courtyard, and the blood-stained brocade quilt on the collapse has also been removed.

A young man and a woman dressed in plain clothes were kneeling beside the corpse, whimpering and weeping.

"This is Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen!" Master Chen introduced the two of Zhenbei.

Zhen Bei fixed his eyes, the man looked like he was about twenty years old, with a medium to thin stature, a hooked nose and thin lips, a pair of triangular eyes under the eight-character eyebrows, and a sad face growing from the sky.

At this moment, he was frowning his eyebrows, staring at the ground with his triangular eyes, not so much crying as he was thinking about something vaguely.

On the other hand, the woman beside him kept wiping her red eyes with a handkerchief, looking sad.

"Mrs. Wen, Mr. Wen, mourn and change!" Sima Duanli pushed others with himself, and couldn't help but say sincerely.

"Who are these two?" Wen Gongzi's train of thought was interrupted, and after glancing at him in surprise, he looked at Master Chen inquiringly.

"This is Sima Gongzi, this is Gu Gongzi! They came specifically to investigate the case! ”

"It turns out that the government has changed people." Wen Gongzi muttered, "So, Lord Liu won't meddle in this case anymore?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Wen. From now on, Lord Wen's case will be handed over to these two sons for investigation! Master Chen said patiently.

For some reason, at this moment, Zhen Bei always felt that this Wen Gongzi seemed to be relieved.
