Chapter 41: Homicide
Poor Zhou Rui'an bothered to prepare the beauty, no one appreciates it when she enters, and it's not, Su Yiming looks at it with relish, although he is not a womanizer, but everyone has a love for beauty, he just appreciates, appreciates.
Su Liangyi turned his head and saw his grandson's eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he scolded Zhou Ruian in his heart, this scheming guy!
Jiang Qingyue didn't know anything about these tricks, she was eating her elbow with her head down, this elbow was really delicious!
As time went on, it was strange that the Tatars did not act, as if they did not care about the insults of that day, and even these days were peaceful, and there was no disturbance of the past.
The soldiers at the bottom began to spread that the Tatars were frightened by Jiang Qingyue, so they didn't dare to come, but Su Liangyi and the others knew that this was not the case, the Tatars did not act, and they were brewing a bigger conspiracy.
So the barracks did not let their guard down, but strengthened their vigilance.
And at this time, strange things began to happen frequently in the city, and the first thing to happen was the beauty knee.
The line of beauty knees, you can see some clues from the name, this is a green building, and it is the only green building in Liuzhou.
Even if Liuzhou fights all year round, there will be no shortage of men who are looking for fun, and the beauty knee has no competitors, the family is dominant, but the beauty knee has not lowered its style because of this, and the beauties in the building are all talented and good-looking.
When Zhou Ruian first arrived in Liuzhou, Huang Qingye flattered Zhou Rui'an and specially dedicated her to a talented and beautiful woman who was a girl in the city, who was the Oiran of the beautiful knee.
This time, it's also with the girl in Allure.
A dead body was found in the girl's room, dead.
"After I finished the performance that day, I went back to the room, at that time, about just after the child, my mother wanted me to go out to toast, but I was a little uncomfortable, my mother took pity on me, so I let me come back, I just pushed the door open, I saw him......" Allure said at the end, a pretty face became pale, it was a little shaky, with a breath of pity I see.
Jiang Qingyue's eyes softened, and he said softly: "Don't be afraid, girl, we will definitely find the murderer, in the next few days, I will send guards to come over to inspect, and I don't dare to come again." ”
Allure showed a slight smile, and it was really as stunning as the name: "Thank you for your kindness." As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked shy.
Jiang Qingyue comforted her a few words in a warm voice.
Zhou Rui'an looked at Allure expressionlessly, and his face became blushing under Jiang Qingyue's comfort.
One person died in the Qinglou, even if ten people died, they couldn't reach Zhou Rui'an and Jiang Qingyue, but the identity of the person who died this time was very special, and it was Qian Tiande who died.
Qian Tiande is none other than Jiang Qingyue when he first entered the barracks, Qian Tiande was her top boss, and at that time, Qian Tiande sent four brothers to trouble her because Jiang Qingyue had never bribed him.
It was a little greedy for money, ambitious, and very stupid, and he was later implicated in Huang Qingye's corruption case, but he was still a little smart, and he had not been in contact for a long time, after Huang Qingye was arrested, he was only removed from his post, but he was not implicated.
But Jiang Qingyue didn't expect that such a person, who even avoided the corruption case, would end up dying in the Qinglou in such a cruel way.
Yes, in a very cruel way, Qian Tiande was almost killed by the five horses, which was even more terrible than the five horses, his body was covered with scars, and the blood on his body was almost dry.
On the day Allure found the body, his body was placed behind the curtain, blocking part of it, and she didn't see the panorama, otherwise she would probably be scared out now.
After all, Qian Tiande is a member of the Divine Brave Army, and the person of the Divine Warrior Army actually died in the Qinglou, and at this time, it spread throughout Liuzhou the next day, and the officers and men in the army should not approach women This is the headline military rule.
Think about it, the Tatars have just plagued their villages and farmlands and killed their people, and as a result, the soldiers who are supposed to defend their homes and countries are having fun in the green building, what should the people think?
So Zhou Ruian couldn't sit idly by, he personally came forward to investigate the matter, and even transferred Jiang Qingyue over, it was not easy to call Jiang Qingyue, and the second prince would not let him go, but Zhou Ruian did not let go of this opportunity, under the pretext that Qian Tiande was Jiang Qingyue's subordinate, she couldn't sit idly by, so she snatched people over.
The second prince was still angry about this, but Zhou Ruian didn't take it seriously.
As a result, as soon as Jiang Qingyue came, he began to comfort Allure, it was too difficult to describe Zhou Ruian's mood at this time......
What should he do if the object of his confession is always good to others? Seeing Jiang Qingyue on the verge of death, Zhou Ruian squinted his eyes and began to think.
Jiang Qing is more upright and upright? After comforting Allure, he walked over, "Lord Shizi, what do you think of this?" ”
"The murderer's methods are very cruel, and the possibility of vendetta cannot be ruled out," Zhou Ruian said, looking at Jiang Qingyue: "I remember that this person used to be your superior, what do you think?" ”
Jiang Qingyue nodded: "It's really like a vendetta, since Huang Qingye was arrested and brought to justice, Qian Tiande was implicated and lost his office, I heard that his life in the army was not very easy, so he came to Qinglou to have fun, but what I learned is that this Qian Tiande, although he has a bad character, will also ask for property from the soldiers by virtue of his position, but it should not be to the point of such hatred." ”
Zhou Ruian nodded in agreement, "What else?" ”
"Have you seen the shape of his wound, it is a vertical cut but in the shape of an arc, this weapon ......" Jiang Qingyue looked solemn: "It is formed by the weapons of the Tatars." ”
Because the Tatar soldiers had always lived in the steppe, they were better at using weapons such as scimitars, which were more convenient for dealing with cattle and sheep, and only later began to use ordinary swords after they went to the battlefield.
Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue glanced at each other, both of them had a bad expression, if it was really a Tatar, it must be for revenge, the Tatars had not acted before, and they still felt strange, it turned out that they had changed their path.
Think about it, the soldiers of the Dajing Army were killed, and they died in such an undignified place as the Qinglou, how do the people of the world view the Dajing Army? This is also a blow to Dajing's image.
Zhou Ruian looked at Jiang Qingyue and snorted lightly: "It's okay, it's finally colorless and makes Zhi dizzy, I still remember the purpose of coming here." ”
Jiang Qingyue glanced at him suspiciously, she always remembered it.
Forgive Jiang Qingyue for not understanding Zhou Ruian's 'complicated feelings' just now.
Jiang Qingyue had a headache: "If it is really a Tatar, it means that there are already spies sneaking into the city, maybe he will still commit crimes, and I don't know how many people ......"
As soon as Jiang Qingyue's words fell, Luo Bei hurriedly walked in: "My lord! Another soldier was found killed! ”
The soldiers who were killed this time died in the gambling house, and like Qian Tiande's death, they were extremely cruel, and the deceased was abused before his death.
killed two people in a row within two days, Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue's expressions can no longer be described by that, this murderer is simply too deceitful!
Such a blatant succession of crimes is simply a provocation!
Zhou Ruian still hates iron and steel, first the Qinglou and then the gambling house, the death is extremely undignified, Luobei only found out after the investigation that Qian Tiande is a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, and he has a habit of abusing women, and the girls in the Qinglou don't treat him very well, but they can't stand him from giving silver.
The soldier who died in the gambling house was also a gambler, and prostitutes and gambling were prohibited in the army, both of which were extremely serious military regulations, but the soldier still took the risk to gamble, according to the investigation, he came to join the army because he lost all his belongings, and he was angry with his mother.
These situations spread throughout Liuzhou in just half a day.
Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue were now confirmed, the other party must be a Tatar traitor, and the two murders slapped Dajing fiercely, and also made Dajingjun's face be trampled underfoot.
It's not over yet, it's like he's addicted to the game, and the killer kills a third soldier, this time in the jar, and his blood fills almost the entire jar, needless to say, it's a drunken soldier, and he's also bad.
For a while, the people in the city talked a lot, and the prestige of the Dajing Army fell to the bottom in an instant, and many soldiers walking on the street would be pointed at by the people and discussed.
In this case, Zhou Ruian had no choice but to strictly grasp discipline again, but the effect was minimal, and it did not save the face of the Dajing Army.
In the big tent, Lin Zheyuan frowned deeply, and said to Zhou Rui'an: "Lord Shizi, I have already sent someone to start investigating, but the location of the crime is all in a mixed place, even if a stranger appears, it will not attract the attention of others, so until now, no suspicious suspects have been found." Luo Bei went to check the strangers who came in and out of the city a few days after the crime, but there were no too important clues, there were so many people in the city, maybe this spy had already left? ”
And the city gates could not be closed, which would only cause panic among the people.
"Now the rumors outside are very ugly, if you don't think of a way, I'm afraid that the majesty of the Dajing Army will be swept away." Lin Zheyuan continued.
"The murderer won't leave."
"He's not leaving."
Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue said in unison.
Lin Zheyuan had mixed feelings in his heart, was he showing his affection? Thinking of the scene he saw that day, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Qingyue.
Zhou Ruian said happily: "Qingyue and I really have a heart. ”
Jiang Qingyue almost exploded: "I'm just a reasonable speculation, it has nothing to do with having a heart!" ”
Zhou Ruian looked at her with a conniving and pampering expression, with a 'everything you said was right' expression.
Lin Zheyuan felt so tired, this, is this considered flirting? Those soldiers, although they are all innocent of death, but in the end the death is too tragic, but these two people still look relaxed, obviously not taking the death of these people to heart.
Jiang Qingyue said solemnly: "Now it is basically certain that this is a retaliation action carried out by the Tatars, from the point of view of the means of killing, the murderer is an extremely cruel person, but now the dead are just some ordinary soldiers, this is just a small means of revenge, he will definitely have a more important goal." ”
Zhou Rui'an agreed: "Yes, if it is just a few soldiers, this revenge massacre is too anticlimactic, judging from the development of things, the murderer must be an extremely smart, bold and cruel person, so he committed three cases, without leaving the slightest flaw, such a person will definitely not be willing to end like this." ”
"Yes, this murderer is a very conceited person, he made such a fuss, and when the whole city was under martial law, he continued to kill people, maybe, the murderer was very complacent about the panic he caused, he would not be willing to stop like this." Jiang Qingyue said, "He will definitely continue to commit crimes!" ”
"If he is allowed to continue to commit crimes, won't it encourage his arrogance? 100,000 troops stationed in Liuzhou, and they are still killing people so arrogantly under their noses, if they are not caught, the reputation of the Dajing Army will be completely ruined! Lin Zheyuan said anxiously: "Now the soldiers in the army have begun to panic, and those soldiers who have some minor problems are terrified, always worried that they will become the second dead, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that there will be deserters......
Those soldiers who dare to violate military rules will not be much better in character, and maybe they will really defect in order to survive.
If there is another large-scale desertion incident in the Dajing Army at this time, then Dajing will have no face at all.
"The top priority is to catch the murderer so that he doesn't commit another crime." Jiang Qingyue said.
But how easy is it to say? There are so many people in Liuzhou City, who knows which one is the murderer? And in addition to the city, there are many deep mountains outside Liuzhou City, and now the weather is getting warmer, even if the murderer is hiding in the deep mountains, he will not worry about eating and drinking.
"If it goes on like this, morale will be low, and the Tatars will send troops again at this time, and the situation will be very dangerous." Lin Zheyuan said worriedly.
Lin Zheyuan looked at Zhou Rui'an and said anxiously: "Lord Shizi, you have to think of a way!" ”
Zhou Ruian pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "You say, if the Tatars want to take revenge, what do they want to do the most?" ”
"What do you want to do the most? Of course, it's to find Qingyue to take revenge and defeat Qingyue, right? Lin Zheyuan said: "Qingyue challenged the Eighteen Tatar warriors alone, and he did not win the Qingyue in the way of wheel warfare, so that the name of the Tatars who were good at fighting was swept away, and a tooth for a tooth could only be corrected for himself by defeating Qingyue." ”
Zhou Ruian smiled silently.
Lin Zheyuan was a little inexplicable, wasn't he right?
Zhou Ruian looked at Jiang Qingyue, Jiang Qingyue pondered slightly, but the corners of his mouth hooked: "No, their target, it won't be me," After a pause, she met Lin Zheyuan's gaze: "It's the second prince!" ”
Zhou Ruian laughed all of a sudden.
Jiang Qingyue said: "The status of the second prince is noble, this is ten I can't compare, the last time the Tatars visited the military camp at night, the purpose was also for the second prince, they were later stopped by me, which is equivalent to destroying their plan, so only if the second prince is successfully taken away, this can be regarded as real revenge!" ”
Lin Zheyuan suddenly realized, and then saw Jiang Qingyue and Zhou Ruian glancing at each other, and a smile appeared on both of their faces.
Lin Zheyuan suddenly had a bad premonition, and always felt that these two people seemed to be going to pit the second prince again.
Jiang Qingyue is also very helpless, she doesn't want to, she doesn't want to always be alone with the second prince, she actually has a good impression of the second prince, this person is good, after being saved by her, she will ask for credit for her, this time she was promoted thanks to the second prince.
But what could she do? In order to catch the murderer, I think the second prince will agree!
Zhou Rui'an and Jiang Qingyue joined forces again to pit the second prince.
Jiang Qingyue went to see the second prince, and the second prince also asked about the case with great concern, and Jiang Qingyue understated it.
"I'm already preparing to start arresting, but it's just that some of my subordinates are defeated, and Your Highness doesn't have to worry about such a trivial matter."
This domineering and leaking appearance is simply too secure.
Jiang Qingyue glanced at the second prince again and again, and the second prince said: "Qingyue has something to do, you can be outspoken!" ”
The second prince attaches great importance to Jiang Qingyue, in addition to being because she once saved him, there is also an important reason, Jiang Qingyue has a high prestige in the army, especially the recruits, who greatly respect her, so of course the second prince must be kind to her and recruit Jiang Qingyue, which is also the meaning of the queen's mother.
Therefore, the second prince's attitude towards Jiang Qingyue has always been excellent, and it is definitely not what Zhou Ruian thought.
Jiang Qingyue said: "Recently, because of this murder case, there have been rumors in the army, and the last general thinks that if it goes on like this, it will affect the morale of the soldiers, so I hope that when the murderer is caught, His Royal Highness will come out to encourage the soldiers and boost their morale." After a pause, she continued: "His Royal Highness has a noble status, and he is willing to come to Liuzhou to endure hardships, and the generals in the army generally love and support His Highness. ”
These words were thought of by the scholar to Jiang Qingyue, Jiang Qingyue was entangled when he heard it for the first time, but he still gritted his teeth and said it, she had a cold temperament, her face was expressionless, and there was a convincing power to say such things, and she always felt that it was impossible for a person like Jiang Qingyue to sneak around, and what she said must be true.
The second prince was very moved, and without hesitation, he jumped into the pit that Jiang Qingyue dug for him with his own hands.
Soon, the news of the arrest of the murderer spread, and the murderer was a spy sent by the Tatars, whose purpose was to sow discord between the military and the people, slander the Dajing army, and affect the situation of the war.
When the people of Liuzhou City saw this statement, they gradually calmed down, and suddenly thought of the cruel scene when the Tatar army attacked the city, and at that time it was the soldiers of the army who protected them, and there was really no reason to follow the enemy to scold their own people.
For a while, the rumors about the Divine Warriors gradually subsided, and the anger of the people was transferred to the murderer who was caught, in order to severely punish the murderer, Zhou Ruian decided to publicly execute the murderer, in order to comfort the souls of the killed soldiers in the sky, and the second prince personally supervised the beheading.
The second prince appeared in person, no one doubted the authenticity of this murderer, and the people were happy to have the opportunity to witness the prince's demeanor.
Liuzhou has been fighting all year round, and it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to come here, but it is comforting to be able to meet the son of the Son of Heaven.
The place of execution was in the vegetable market in Liuzhou City, where there were the largest number of people, and on the day of the execution, the honor guard of the second prince left the barracks and entered the city.
Before the time for the execution came, the second prince went to a nearby inn to rest, and the entire inn was cleaned up because of the arrival of the second prince, and there were guards inside and out.
In the room, Lin Zheyuan looked at Jiang Qingyue: "Will the murderer really come?" Will he know it's a trap, and what if he doesn't? ”
Zhou Rui'an's expression was relaxed, and his eyes kept falling on Jiang Qingyue's body.
"If you don't show up, you will behead the fake one, and you will be a death row prisoner left and right, and you will be innocent of death." Zhou Ruian said lazily.
Looking at Zhou Rui'an's casual look, Lin Zheyuan was in a hurry, "Qingyue, did you say the murderer would come?" ”
Jiang Qingyue said without hesitation: "He will!" After a pause, she explained: "Before, there were rumors in the city, and the murderer must have been very proud of the panic caused by himself, at this time we said that we had caught the murderer, in the murderer's opinion, this is what we have to do with him, so we have to find a fake one to save face, but also to calm the rumors and calm the army's heart." ”
"That's what we do." Lin Zheyuan said.
Yes, Jiang Qingyue found a fake murderer, and this is indeed the purpose.
"But the murderer will be very angry, what he has done, he will be offended by others, he will feel offended, obviously he did it, but it is on the head of others, he will not tolerate it. Moreover, if he stands up, he can expose our lies, and when the time comes, let the people know that we have not caught the murderer, what can be more powerful than this to hit the prestige of the Great Jing Army? Jiang Qingyue said, "What's more, I also found a reason for him to come." ”
She brought the second prince as bait, so she didn't believe that the murderer didn't take the bait!
Lin Zheyuan couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, but he sighed in his heart, in order to find the murderer, these two people actually let the prince be the bait, which is really bold.
Su Yiming sat on the side with a helpless face, he didn't agree with this plan, he was one of the few people who was really worried about the safety of the second prince, but there was no way, others were soft-spoken, what they said didn't count, he couldn't stop it, so he had to come over and watch the second prince in person.
"General Su, do you have some eyebrows about the murderer? Such a person, ruthless, cautious and bold, looking at the few soldiers he killed, he should be very burly and tall, is there such a person among the Tatars? Lin Zheyuan asked curiously.
Su Yiming hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and then said, "Yes, yes, it's just ...... It's just that I think it's unlikely. ”
"Who is it?" Jiang Qingyue also wanted to know.
Su Yiming didn't sell Guan Zi, and said: "He is also a prince of Tatar, the fourth is called Tuoba Gang, Tuoba Gang's biological mother is humble, and he is not valued by the King of Tatar, but when he was ten years old, he killed a wolf alone on the grassland, and the King of Tatar knew that he took him to his side to raise him personally, and he valued him very much, I heard that the King of Tatar intended to let him take over the throne, and he has been regarded as a thorn in the side of the Queen of Tatar. ”
