Chapter 255: Wave after Wave

Cai Baihu was killed?

Bai Tang frowned: Cai Baihu - last time you caught the military master who made trouble in front of his house?

There was silence in the bustling recruitment office, and panic gradually spread through the crowd.

Quan Hong recognized people. He said with a solemn and polite expression: "Lord Lei will handle the case, and the owner and we will definitely fully cooperate." ”

The corners of Lei Jie's lips hooked slightly, and he said indifferently: "With your words, Ben Qianhu will rest assured." ”

He waved his hand lightly and ordered, "Search!" ”

Bai Tang saw the soldiers rushing to the four corners of the mulberry garden like wolves and tigers, and was furious in his heart: Is this a search?

He turned his eyes slightly, and arched his hand: "Lord Lei's case is like thunder." In the future, when I see His Majesty and the Grand Grandson, I will definitely boast about the methods of the Lord. ”

Lei Jie chuckled. I was very angry in my heart. Cai Baihu is his right-hand man, and he also knows that he is calculating and practicing Baitang. I didn't want to calculate, I lost my life first!

"In this way, this thousand households thank Lian Gongzi."

Although he was not afraid of Bai Tang, his subordinates did not know the details of Bai Tang after all, and there was some hesitation in his eyes.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be polite. It's just that this land of mulberry gardens is rewarded by His Majesty. Bai Tang arched his hand to the sky and said, "Jun En doesn't dare to forget." There is also a gift for His Majesty to move the capital prepared by me and the Duke of Dingguo. Soldiers...... "His eyes were slightly cold, "be careful." ”

Lei Jie squinted his eyes and confronted Bai Tang for a long time, and had to say, "Did you hear it?" Search carefully! ”

The soldier's footsteps immediately became gentle.

Quan Hong hurriedly said: "When our owner first arrived in Beijing, he was disturbed by the homeless people. Or Cai Baihu enforces the law impartially. I don't want to be killed. My lord, but do you suspect that the group of outcasts will take revenge and kill people? ”

Lei Jie sighed: "Wanderers, most likely." I heard that Lian Gongzi recruited many homeless people to work. So come and find out. ”

Bai Tang couldn't help but ask: "How was Cai Baihu killed?" ”

Lei Jie raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Lian Gongzi also has experience in investigating cases?" ”

"I don't dare to say that I have experience." Bai Tang was also not polite, "I have fought a few lawsuits, but fortunately I have never lost." ”

Lei Jie immediately attached himself and asked him lightly: "Lian Gongzi hasn't fought a life lawsuit, right?" ”

Bai Tang's face changed slightly, but he heard the searching soldier exclaim: "My lord, a corpse has been found in the river!" ”

Lei Jie showed a look of surprise, smiled apologetically at Bai Tang, turned over and dismounted, "Gongzi Lian, let's take a look." ”

Mulberry gardens need water. Quan Hong chose a place with abundant water to plant mulberry trees. They endured the horror in their hearts and ran to the lake. Sure enough, there was a female corpse lying on the shore, Bai Tang stopped, turned his head sideways and didn't dare to look more.

Quan Hong whispered to him: "Lei Qianhu came to investigate the case, but another corpse was found in our garden. I'm afraid this is a bit strange. Do you want to call the third master to come to the town? ”

Bai Tang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No." You let Da Xiong go to Shuntianfu to report the crime! ”

"Understood."

Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. What Bai Tang wants to do now is to disrupt this troubled water!

He walked to the shore, restrained his tumbling stomach, and examined the corpse. It was freezing cold, and a thin layer of ice was formed on the woman's body. He frowned and said, "The dead should be less than forty." Although the clothes on his body are fanciful, the materials are ordinary. There is a laceration on the wrist of the right hand. Looking at her skin, she didn't look like a peasant woman working outside. My lord," Bai Tang said, looking up, "the deceased is not a newly relocated homeless person. ”

Lei Jie looked at him sideways unexpectedly, and some uneasiness rose in his heart for a while: he really has a hand!

"Lacerations on your wrists?" Lei Jie looked at it and said, "It looks like a nail strain." ”

"Senho-sama!" A soldier whispered, "Lord Cai's left fingernail has a blood stain!" ”

Lei Jie was shocked, stared at the lake and said, "Go down to the river!" ”

How can the soldier's body resist going into the water in the cold winter? Bai Tang frowned, and five soldiers had already taken off their cotton clothes and jumped into the water.

Bai Tang was busy asking someone to cook ginger soup and take a thick quilt for later use.

Lei Jie said lightly: "The soldiers under my command practice three dogs in summer and three nines in winter. Not so delicate. ”

Bai Tang also said lightly: "It's just a matter of raising your hands." ”

The lake is not very large, the deepest part is only two or three meters. But the soldiers searched for half an hour, and on the way they changed people and went into the water. Finally, someone floated ashore with a small package, and quickly covered it with a quilt, but his lips were still blue from the cold: "My lord, please look." ”

Lei Jie opened the package, and there was a bloodstained knife inside!

"Your Excellency!" The soldier said excitedly, "Lord Cai just let the knife stab him to death!" ”

Bai Tang frowned and said, "An autopsy is needed to determine the murder weapon." My lord, let's send it to Shuncheonfu and hand it over to Lord Yin for investigation. ”

Lei Jie put away the knife and said coldly: "Joke." Can the Shuntian Mansion manage the case of our military department? ”

Bai Tang shook his head: "It's true that Shuntian Mansion can't handle Cui Baihu's case, but the deceased is just an ordinary woman." It should be handed over to the Shuntian Mansion for disposal. ”

Lei Jie said slightly angrily: "But she is the murderer of Cui Baihu!" ”

Bai Tang smiled: "Do you have conclusive evidence that she is the murderer?" ”

"After examining this knife, you will know if she is a murderer!"

Bai Tang still shook his head: "How can a weak woman kill a strong Cai Hu with a knife?" How did he flee to the outer city and drown in the river? There are many doubts here, my lord. According to the law, whether she is a murderer or not, she should be handed over to Shuntianfu for investigation! ”

Lei Jie's face was extremely ugly: "Yi, law? ”

Bai Tang turned his head sideways and asked with a smile: "Exactly." Besides, the identity of this woman is unknown, and the cause of death is unknown. Shuntianfu can issue a notice to recruit people to identify the body, and there are also indignant autopsies. If you are not at ease, you can try the case with Fu Yin. ”

Lei Jie spat out a turbid breath and said toughly: "In the affairs of the army, it is not the turn of Lian Gongzi to intervene!" On the contrary, it is Lian Gongzi, there was a murder in your mulberry garden. According to the law, it should be sealed. After the case is closed, it will be dealt with! ”

Quan Hong and Bai Tang changed color together: closed garden?

Joke! If the great mulberry garden is sealed, won't his weaving workshop, silkworm room, and engraving workshop all have to stop?

Lei Jie ordered: "Immediately expel the unrelated people and others, and close the park to be investigated!" ”

The white begonia is weak and unstoppable. When he regretted not calling Xu San, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Lian Gongzi." Don't come unharmed! ”

Bai Tang looked back at the visitor in surprise and cheered: "Lord Zhong! ”

Parents! When Bai Tang saw Zhong Zhaoyang at this moment, he only felt that he was really close to his parents!

Zhong Zhaoyang accepted his salute with a smile and said, "This official was ordered to go to Beijing first to take over Shuntian Mansion. Unexpectedly, before the butt was hot, I heard that someone had reported the crime. I didn't expect that the person who reported the case turned out to be you practicing Baitang. He glanced at the corpse, frowned slightly, and said to Lei Jie, who was pale: "This is Lord Lei Qianhu Lei." ”

Lei Jie pursed his lips, his heart surging like a tide.

Before Zhong Zhaoyang came, Shuntianfu and the military department were neck and neck. One is in charge of the small population, and the other is in charge of a large garrison. But his appearance represents the retreat of the military forces - how can the military department confront the court?!

He suppressed the unwillingness in his heart and arched his hand: "Lord Zhong has worked hard all the way. ”

Zhong Zhaoyang smiled: "The responsibility lies." He gestured, and the two people behind him immediately went to the corpse to examine the body.

Ray Jie took a step forward and stepped back.

"My lord, the deceased may be the murderer who killed one of our army's hundred households."

Zhong Zhaoyang raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "There is such a thing?" Then you have to check carefully. ”

He replied, "Yes." ”

Bai Tang let out a long sigh of relief. With Lord Zhong here, if you have the backbone, oh no, that is, you have found a backer with thick thighs!

Zhong Zhaoyang saw that the river was full of people who were probing their brains, and some people had obviously different expressions. With a slight movement in his heart, he asked, "Does anyone recognize this deceased?" ”

Everyone immediately bowed their heads and did not dare to squeak.

Zhong Zhaoyang smiled and said, "The deceased soaked in water, and his appearance has changed a little. It's okay to admit mistakes. There will be no inquiry. ”

After saying this, a woman finally came out and said: "My lord, the women look at her, a bit like Zhen!" ”
