Chapter 63: The bait has been thrown
Bo Zhi's face was full of indignation, obviously unwilling to let this matter be done like this.
Wu Chen spoke, "The bones are gone, even if we interrogate Wu Cheng in person."
Without evidence, he could have shirked it.
Moreover, the corpses did not necessarily die unexpectedly.
The Baicao Street fire case has killed many people, and it is the most important case at the moment.
Since the Criminal Department has already intervened in this matter, we don't need to ask about it anymore. ”
Bo Zhi was angry, secretly hating that he hadn't taken the evidence earlier.
But in front of Wu Chen, she didn't dare to say anything more.
Wu Chen is different from Xiang Yueqing, he obviously has a kind face, but in front of him, Bo Zhi always feels a little frightened in his heart, and he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Although she didn't understand what was going on either.
was angry, Bo Zhi was not in the mood to stay in Wufu, and went out to find wicked people to vent.
But the strange thing is that the guards who followed her today were replaced.
Ke Yi didn't come?
Bo Zhi felt even more uncomfortable.
In the Wu Mansion, Xiang Yueqing listened to Wu Chen's words and looked surprised, "Enter the palace?" Closed? ”
Obviously, the case has no beginning or end.
Even if there were some speculations, there was no evidence at all.
Wu Chen actually said that he wanted to enter the palace to face the saint and close the case?
Aren't you afraid that the monarch Bo Geng will scold him for not doing things well?
"Hmm." Wu Chen's expression was very calm, "The lady is now the envoy of Huoyang Wei, come with me to face the saint." ”
Xiang Yueqing instinctively wanted to shake his head.
She didn't want to do anything she was scolded.
But then it occurred to me that Wu Chen might have another purpose in doing this.
It's good to check it out.
……
The Ministry of Punishment is in prison.
The court official was about to interrogate the criminal Wu Cheng, but saw Jian Hong, the general of the Red Wuwei, break into the court.
A group of guards surrounded the people.
The face of the squire of the Criminal Department sank, "General Jian is here, and the lower officials should be welcomed."
But now is the opportunity for my criminal department to try the case, what is the reason why General Jian suddenly broke in?
How? Could it be that General Jian thinks that managing the security in the city is too idle?
Can't even meddle in the affairs of the Criminal Department? ”
"The Red Wuwei and the Criminal Department are naturally well water, not river water."
Jian Hong glanced at Wu Cheng, who was kneeling in the hall, and said unhurriedly: "But such a coincidence, this person Wu Cheng is an important witness in a case I handled.
I'm sorry, Ma Shilang, please hand this person over to me for trial by Chi Wuwei first, and then decide whether to return it or not as appropriate. ”
The face of the squire of the criminal department was extremely pale.
When Jian Hong was the general of Huoyang Wei before, he was arrogant and unstoppable, and no one took it seriously.
Now that he was kicked out of Huoyangwei, he became the general of the Red Wuwei, and he caught up with the Bai family, and there was no one in his eyes.
Thinking of this, the squire of the Criminal Department spoke up, "General Jian may not understand the situation yet.
Wu Chengnai was the main culprit in the arson case on Baicao Street in Dongshi, and His Majesty was furious because of this.
The headquarters is ordered by the Holy Decree to investigate this murderer, if General Jian wants someone, please go and ask the Holy Lord for an order! ”
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant.
The head of the Criminal Department and the commander of the Red Guards glared at each other, and no one wanted anyone.
At this moment, a strange sound came from the hall.
Everyone saw that it was the criminal Wu Cheng who was holding his throat with both hands, his flushed face was full of pain, his eyes were round, and he was foaming at the mouth.
There was a strange sound in his throat that looked like something was rolling rather than coughing.
Everyone was still in shock, and Wu Cheng had already rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
"What's going on?" The face of the squire of the criminal department changed greatly.
One of the officials stepped forward to probe Wu Cheng's snort and neck vein, and then hurriedly said, "My lord, the criminal is out of breath!" ”
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was in an uproar.
The faces of the squire of the Criminal Department and Jian Hong were extremely pale.
What the squire of the Criminal Department thought was that the prisoner died before the trial of this case began.
How can he explain to His Majesty?
What Jian Hong thought was that he had just brought Chi Wuwei's people to the Criminal Department to dignitaries, and Wu Cheng died.
This time it's really a big pot!
The lack of heart has become a heart.
……
Yaoling Palace.
Xiang Yueqing stood in the temple, looking at his nose and nose, and his nose and heart, quiet like a pillar.
Wu Chen is reporting to the monarch Bo Geng: "The rumors of the water ghost in Ninghua Palace are related to Shen Liangdi's death in the water, and Xiao Liangdi's illness in the water.
If you want to eradicate the rumors, I'm afraid that Ninghua Palace will have to be rectified up and down.
But Weichen thought that this move was inappropriate.
The ground is blocked too much, but I am afraid that the rumors will be even worse.
In fact, as long as Xiao Liangdi recovers from her illness or asks someone to do a ritual in Luoyuan, those nonsense rumors should be dispelled.
As for the nursery rhyme outside the palace......"
Wu Chen and Xiang Yueqing glanced at the monarch Bo Geng at the same time.
Bo Geng's complexion did not change much, but when Wu Chen said the word nursery rhyme, his body obviously moved, and his expression became more focused.
Sure enough, what Bo Geng cares about is this nursery rhyme.
Wu Chen continued: "Wechen found out that this nursery rhyme originated from a madwoman from a merchant in the East Market, who gave birth to a stillborn baby a year ago and then went insane.
Her husband Jiao Chuan has confessed that the madwoman did not give birth to a stillborn child, but a healthy baby girl.
But Jiao Chuan was greedy for money and sold his daughter to Jia Zhi, the shopkeeper of Anxiang Pharmacy on Baicao Street in Dongshi. ”
"White Grass Street?" Bo Geng was puzzled.
Wu Chen replied, "That's exactly what Your Majesty thinks, the source of the fire on Baicao Street is from the Anxiang Pharmacy.
Jia Zhi, the shopkeeper of Anxiang Pharmacy, and his relatives and associates, a total of eight people, were all buried in this sea of fire.
The Criminal Department also took Wu Cheng, the arson culprit, back to the Criminal Department for interrogation this morning. ”
Bo Geng's brows condensed slightly, "What is the purpose of Jia Zhi, the shopkeeper of the Anxiang Pharmacy, who bought Jiao Chuan's daughter?" ”
"Jia Zhi's rhetoric to Jiao Chuan is to find a baby for foreign businessmen and prepare for adoption." Wu Chen replied.
Bo Geng shook his head, "Even if you want to adopt a baby, you also look for a baby boy, why do you want to find a baby girl?" ”
"Weichen also has this doubt." Wu Chen said: "It's just that Jia Zhi, who connected with Jiao Chuan, has died in the sea of fire.
And the person behind the real purchase of the baby girl, he didn't know.
It just so happened that when Princess Quan was chasing evil on the outskirts of the city, she found a large number of baby bones in a deserted house, and asked Weichen to investigate.
Weichen ordered someone to investigate the head of the deserted house, and only then did he learn about Wu Cheng.
And it was such a coincidence that Wu Cheng was the culprit Wu Cheng who set fire to the Anxiang pharmacy this time. ”
Saying that, Wu Chen knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Weichen is ashamed."
The witness, Jiao Chuan, was unable to bear the punishment of his subordinates, escaped at night, crashed into General Jian's patrol, and was personally taken back to Chiwuwei.
The bones of the baby in the deserted house on the outskirts of the city were dug up overnight and disappeared.
When Wei Chen ordered someone to bring Wu Cheng back for interrogation, the Criminal Department took him back one step earlier.
Wei Chen knew that the fire on Baicao Street was very important, so he did not dare to ask for someone easily, so he came to ask His Majesty for advice. ”
Xiang Yueqing looked at Wu Chen, and threw himself to the ground in admiration.
This guy is a good pot in one hand.
Can Jiao Chuan escape from Wu Chen's palm so easily?
I'm afraid I didn't deliberately set up a trap for Jian Hong, right?
As for Wu Cheng, he said that it was a request, but Xiang Yueqing didn't believe it.
Huoyangwei's position takes precedence over any other organization.
As long as Wu Chen wants the person, even if it is the criminal department that has been ordered by the Holy Order, he must obediently offer it.
This guy ......
What's the bad water in your stomach?
At this time, the chamberlain An Huai hurriedly entered and said, "Your Majesty, the waiter of the Criminal Department has come to ask for the guilt." ”
"Please?" Bo Geng asked, "What crime please?" ”
An Huai replied: "It was said that Wu Cheng, the arson criminal in Baicao Street, committed suicide in court, leaving only a letter of repentance.
And also...... It is said that when Wu Cheng committed suicide, Jian Hong, the general of the Red Uguev, was making trouble in the court, so that the criminal department could not take care of it, causing Wu Cheng to commit suicide without help. ”
Xiang Yueqing sighed in his heart.
Wu Cheng actually died?
