Chapter 186: There Is No Escape
"What Master Zhang said is very true," Xu Qinghuan said, "you can't just believe what she says." ”
Zhang Yucong looked at Xu Qinghuan, what tricks was Xu playing again.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "If you can sue people in prison for anything you say, I'm afraid that Da Zhou's prison will already be overcrowded. ”
After saying this, Xu Qinghuan took a step back, she just wanted to lure Mother Wu to say everything at this time, and she would not be needed for the rest of the matter.
Huang Qinghe tidied up his official uniform, stepped forward and said: "What Wu said today has never been confessed in the prison, and it cannot be used as evidence in court, Wu and other prisoners must be separated from each other, and other prisoners should be interrogated, unless what Wu said can be corroborated in other people's confessions, otherwise what she said today cannot be used as testimony," Speaking of this, he looked at Wu, "If there is evidence in Wu's hands, it must be retrieved for examination." ”
Xu Qinghuan and Huang Qinghe cooperated just right.
Cheng Ruhai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Xu Changrong, the waiter, also rushed over, and Cheng Ruhai saw Zhao Yunying not far away, this person has won the trust of the emperor, and he will tell the emperor everything that happened here.
Xu Changrong obviously hadn't figured out the situation in front of him, and reprimanded Huang Qinghe: "You brought the criminal here?" What a big guts, you are a little Shuntianfu general judge......"
"That's enough," Cheng Ruhai glanced at Xu Changrong coldly, and ordered to go down, "Hold the culprit well, and take care of it carefully, so that nothing goes wrong." "This Wu family's confession is very important, and how many people have heard it, if it is not handled properly, it will definitely be set on fire.
Xu Changrong was stunned, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Yucong's face, only to see that Zhang Yucong's face was bloodless, and the whole person was indescribably embarrassed.
"My lords, the time of the last dynasty has already arrived, so it's not good for the emperor to wait for us all the time!"
Everyone looked over and saw a few people coming over, led by Hong Chuanting, the secretary of the military department, and next to Hong Chuanting was An Yihou.
Zhang Yucong raised his head and took a look, only to feel that the two of them were menacing, it seemed that this time he was not punished by the imperial court, and they would never give up.
Zhang Yucong glanced at Zhang Yuci deeply.
Zhang Yuci nodded to him.
Zhang Yucong took a deep breath and couldn't dodge, so he had to go down.
……
Seeing Zhang Yuci and Zhang Yucong walking towards the palace gate, Hong Chuanting saw Song Chengxuan not far away, although he didn't rest all night, but Song Chengxuan didn't have a tired look on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief, Song Chengxuan was indispensable for the next thing.
Hong Chuanting patted Song Chengxuan's uninjured shoulder: "I should have let you go back and rest, and the emperor will definitely ask about those firearms in a while, you know it in your heart." ”
Song Chengxuan's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were calm and composed: "The firearms used by the murderers are similar to the gunpowder cannons of the Great Zhou, with stone shells on the outside and gunpowder inside, which can be ignited, and can be ignited by flint friction and detonated, and its power is recorded in the "Armament Book". ”
Hong Chuanting frowned: "The secret recipes for firearms in the "Arsenal Book" are all kept in the Shenji Camp, and they will never be ......."
Thinking of this, Hong Chuanting understood why Song Chengxuan mentioned the "Martial Arts Book", he almost laughed out loud, or this kid was smart, and he gave him such a big gift without making a sound.
Hong Chuanting stroked his beard: "Yes, this firearm must always find a source, if these firearms have nothing to do with the Zhang family, they have to start from the Shenji Battalion." ”
The emperor installed internal officials in the Shenji camp, and these internal officials were quite trusted by the emperor, and they didn't want to bear such a crime for the Zhang family, so they would naturally prompt the three law divisions to find out about the matter.
In this way, the Zhang family has nowhere to escape.
Hong Chuanting had a plan in his heart, and instructed Song Chengxuan: "You go to the room to listen to the news, if there is a rumor in the court, I will go there to find you." ”
Song Chengxuan nodded slightly, which was acceptable.
An Yihou stood next to him and looked at Song Chengxuan all the time, his eyes were slightly dilated, and he didn't know when he had fallen into deep thought, until Hong Chuanting called him, and the two of them walked towards the palace gate together.
Hong Chuanting said: "Why are you so unkept, is it because of what happened last night that you were scared?" ”
An Yihou said "en", but it was not all, and Song Chengxuan's attitude towards An Yihou's mansion, he often sighed in the past that Wei Wang Ye was actually a person with a pure heart, and Song Chengxuan also had such a mind under his cold appearance.
Ever since he was suspicious of Song Chengxuan's identity, he felt more and more that he was similar to that child.
If this is the case, he should be happy for Prince Wei, he finally has a bloodline in the world, Qing Huan is right, he can't expect everything he did back then to be forgiven.
Can...... Being able to watch the son of the deceased regain the banner is already something he has always dreamed of.
Thinking of this verse, he was grateful and guilty.
……
Except for the people in the Shuntian Mansion and the Yamen of the Criminal Department who stayed to clean up the mess, the rest of the people left one after another.
Xu Qinghuan said a few words to Chang Niangzi, without the interference of the Zhang family, Chang Niangzi can help the old man of Shuntian Mansion to do things, this time the firearms matter made the Beijing Yamen busy again, first of all, the body of the murderer must be found, this alone makes everyone have a headache.
"Miss Xu."
Xu Qinghuan raised his head when he heard the voice and saw Li Xu in a cyan official uniform.
Li Xu's eyes flashed with clear brilliance, his lips were slightly hooked, revealing a soft smile, looking modest and gentle, his coldness and majesty were slowly revealed after he arrived in the northern Xinjiang.
In his previous life, as his official position became higher and higher, his whole person became more and more ruthless, and he would always handle all affairs rationally and not allow himself to make any mistakes.
The staff members of the family praised him every time, and several gentlemen said that if this continued, they would have nothing to do.
Staff members often want to solve people's doubts, and Li Xu seems to rarely fall into emotions and can't extricate himself, so naturally he doesn't have to ask anyone for help.
Xu Qinghuan responded, "Master Li." "No more words.
Li Xu said: "Miss Xu has found out the truth of this case, which is really admirable. ”
Xu Qinghuan said: "It was the imperial court that investigated the case, I just found some clues and told the yamen truthfully." ”
As he spoke, the people in the yamen brought the portrait of the murderer: "The murderer suddenly appeared, and many people did not see it clearly, although he found the head of the murderer, the head was also blown up to the flesh and blood, so we can only draw a rough picture for the people who saw the murderer to identify, whether it is similar or not." ”
Xu Qinghuan looked at it carefully: "It looks like this." ”
Yacha breathed a sigh of relief.
The portrait is a man with prominent cheekbones and thick eyebrows, but his eyes are a little fierce, presumably the people of the yamen brought personal emotions into the painting.
A murderer with a firearm is naturally different from ordinary people.
But most of the time they seem to be just ordinary people.
Li Xu said: "Is this person tall? ”
Ya almost nodded: "According to the inspection, it is true." ”
Li Xu looked at Xu Qinghuan: "Miss Xu has determined that this case is related to Wang Yun, and Miss Fang will recognize the murderer at a glance, do you remember that I once told Master Xu Wu, I suspect that Wang Yun secretly let go of a businessman who was transporting smuggled goods." ”
Li Xu is still so smart, he can guess the overall situation from a small matter, Xu Qinghuan said: "I heard the fifth uncle mention it, and I happened to see a tall person appear, so I made this guess." ”
Li Xu still looked at Xu Qinghuan with a smile, obviously he didn't believe it, but he didn't show the slightest doubt: "I heard that this firearm was transported to Dazhou by smuggling ship, and I think everything is arranged with the Zhang family to buy and sell private goods, then the businessman wants to do this, he must understand the joint between the Zhang family, the Sun family, and the Yan family, and there must be someone to pass the news to the businessman, the Yan family used to be pirates, and they know the things at sea very well, and it just so happens that the Zhang family needs people to serve them, so help the Zhang family, The Sun family's buying and selling of illicit goods is the best choice to get close to the Zhang family.
I guess this is how the eldest lady thought about it, and found the traces left by the murderer. ”
