Chapter 454: Puzzle solving
Out of the teahouse, Xu Rui and his entourage drove directly to Changxing Mansion, and unexpectedly, Xu Rui did not go directly to the front gate this time, but instructed the coachman to drive to the back door.
There was already a steward waiting there at the back door of the mansion, and when he saw Xu Rui and his party coming slowly, he didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, opened the door directly to welcome the guests, and invited Xu Rui and his party in.
In the back hall, the housekeeper instructed his subordinates to prepare tea for everyone, and then stood quietly aside, Xu Rui, who was sitting on the main seat, was not in a hurry, and slowly tasted the teacup.
Cao Siyuan, who was confused, remembered that this Changxing Mansion had never dealt with Xu Rui very well, so he leaned over to Xu Rui and whispered: "Dashuai, what kind of mystery is this in Changxing Mansion, should it be a Hongmen banquet, now An Ge is in their hands......"
Without waiting for him to speak, Xu Rui waved his hand and said softly: "It's okay, if you come, you will be safe, let's wait slowly." ”
"But Ange ...... him"
Cao Siyuan remains to be said.
Xu Rui said lightly: "Don't worry, An Ge is very safe, not to mention that he has survived the initial fright and dazedness, he should have tasted a little taste now, he knows what to do." ”
Hearing Xu Rui say this, Cao Siyuan didn't want to say anything, but subconsciously looked at Lin Shaodong, but Lin Shaodong didn't understand, so he had to shake his head at him.
All this was seen by the old housekeeper standing aside, and seeing that Xu Rui did not look a little anxious, he quietly glanced at Xiao Si outside the door, Xiao Si nodded, turned his head and rushed into the courtyard.
After being transformed by genetic medicine, Xu Rui's five senses were already extremely keen, coupled with the significant enhancement after the breakthrough of the nameless sword technique, his five senses had reached the point of terror, and Xiao Si's footsteps were like thunder on the ground, so he could naturally hear them clearly.
Xu Rui sneered in his heart, but there was no discoloration on his face, and he slowly added a new cup of tea to himself.
After a while, footsteps came from outside the door again, and before anyone entered the door, the laughter like a bell came in first.
"Oh, the champion Hou is coming to Changxing Mansion, and the lower officials are shining!"
As soon as the words fell, a big man who was eight feet tall and nearly sixty years old walked in with a smile, and this person was Yin Qiuhe of Changxing Mansion.
Unlike most other magistrates who were born in the imperial examination, this Qiu He is the son of the Marquis of Liyang, the concubine of Princess Kangtong, the sister of Emperor Hongwei, and a real relative of Xun.
In addition to his noble status, he has been able to sit firmly in the most unflattering Changxing Mansion Yin in the place where the dragons gather for nearly twenty years, which can also be seen that this person's methods are by no means ordinary.
Seeing Qiu He come to the back hall, Xu Rui stood up, hugged his fists at him with a smile and said, "Lord Qiu is serious, this official is here to thank you for your kindness this time." ”
Qiu He happened to walk to Xu Rui's side, and was stunned when he heard the words: "I don't know where the word "thank you" starts with Champion Hou?" ”
Xu Rui smiled faintly: "My family's Ange was framed, thanks to the adult's protection, it was well protected, so I am here to thank you." ”
Speaking of An Ge, Qiu He said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's not a secret, there was some misunderstanding between this official and Hou Ye before, and I wanted to clarify it for a long time, but I have never had a chance."
This time, he happened to encounter such an unbelievable case again, and the official really didn't want to deepen the misunderstanding of Hou Ye, so he sent someone to inform Hou Ye in advance.
This has violated the laws of the imperial court, and it is all that the official can do, and the current case is still confusing, which is very unfavorable to Mr. An Ge, if the Hou Ye wants to let the official show favoritism, I am afraid it is too strong. ”
This was said frankly, although the refusal was tactful, but it was very resolute, Cao Siyuan and Lin Shaodong suddenly felt bad when they heard this, but Xu Rui was unmoved, and still looked light.
"Oh, my lord said that this case is very unfavorable to An Ge, is there a new clue?"
Xu Rui asked with a smile.
Qiu He shook his head: "Presumably Master Hou already knows, this case is so complicated and bizarre, it can be called a strange case through the ages, and the current situation is that Xu Ange was invited to the teahouse to talk to the deceased shopkeeper Peng."
The two entered the house one after another, Xu Ange ordered the guards to guard the door, and no one approached the room during the period, but when the messenger came to the teahouse, he found that Xu Ange was holding a murder weapon, his face was full of panic, and the shopkeeper Peng, who was talking to him, fell in a pool of blood and died.
After the on-site investigation of the officers and the examination of the deceased's body, it has been determined that the room was the first scene of the crime, and the deceased showed no trace of resistance, and it was obvious that an acquaintance committed the crime.
This official has been adjudicating the case for so many years, and according to the past experience and the evidence in front of him, this case is clearly that Xu Ange and the shopkeeper Peng had a disagreement during the negotiation process, and Xu Ange was angry and killed the shopkeeper Peng while he was unprepared! ”
Seeing that Qiu He had the intention of sitting on Ange and killing people, Cao Siyuan and Lin Shaodong suddenly frowned, and their hearts rose to their throats.
Xu Rui said calmly: "In this way, this case is simple and clear, but I don't know if the adults know that the teahouse guy once said that this morning the shopkeeper Peng entered not the Tianzi No. A room where the crime occurred, but the Dizi No. A on the first floor, and An Ge and a few people went not to Tianzi A, but Tianzi B, how to explain this?" ”
Qiu He said: "This is the strangeness of this case, if there is no testimony, then this case is an ordinary murder of anger, but once this testimony is released, all possibilities of the case will be blocked, and the official is also very embarrassed." ”
"All the cases are likely to be blocked? Not necessarily......"
Xu Rui shook his head: "My lord forgot another detail, only half a pillar of incense was in the house, and the servants of Changxing Mansion had already arrived, was this too fast?" If Changxing Mansion has such efficiency in every case, I am afraid that Jinyiwei and Dongchang will be disbanded. ”
Qiu He's face sank suddenly when he heard this, and the two tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and shot out a cold light: "Is Master Hou saying that my Changxing Mansion framed Xu Ange?" ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be so nervous, I heard that your Changxing Mansion will also send an emergency messenger after receiving a report, but if according to what your Excellency just said, this case is an angry murder, then how can the reporter know?" ”
Qiu He's face changed slightly, he opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but Xu Rui continued: "So someone must have framed this case, but I didn't say that it was Changxing Mansion, so Lord Qiu shouldn't sit down, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, Qiu He sneered, leaned back in the chair, glanced at Xu Rui and said: "I forgot that the last time the murder case that caused a sensation in the government and the opposition was detected by Hou Ye in one fell swoop."
Hou Ye is talented, and he has also made great achievements in investigating and handling cases, since this is the case, it is better for Hou Ye to say, who is the murderer, and who wants to frame Xu Ange? ”
Xu Rui chuckled, took a sip of the teacup, looked at Qiu He playfully, and said, "Lord Qiu Zhizhu is in his hands, and he already knows everything, so why pretend to be confused?"
Didn't the official already thank the adult for his return when he entered the door, since the adult had the heart to save my family's Ange, why did he play Tai Chi at this time? ”
Xu Rui's words made Lin Shaodong and Cao Siyuan confused, and they didn't know what kind of trick he was really playing, but Qiu He's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he forced a calm laugh.
"Hou Ye's words are not understood, although the lower officials really want to settle their past suspicions with Hou Ye, but if they really use their power to help Hou Ye's family get rid of their crimes, how will they face the saint?"
As he spoke, Qiu He clenched his hands into fists and arched his hands towards the sky.
Xu Rui smiled faintly: "The official also saw that Lord Qiu couldn't be the master, so he had to make a false deal with the official, since this is the case, then let the person who is the master come out." ”
Before the words fell, Xu Rui suddenly stretched out his hand, and the broken blade leaning on his side suddenly flew out of the scabbard with a "cang" sound, only to see his right hand grasp and turn, and the sharp long sword was suddenly grabbed by him in his hand, and lightning slashed towards Qiu He's neck.
"Dashuai!"
"Xu Rui, you dare!"
Seeing this scene suddenly, Lin Shaodong and Cao Siyuan were suddenly shocked, Qiu He's pupils were one, and his face suddenly turned pale.
