Chapter 31: Involved in the Murder Case
Mu Lingyun didn't realize that this period of getting along made her unconsciously rely on Zuo Xiangyang, the master, and Zuo Xiangyang connived at her as an apprentice, maybe more than the love of master and apprentice.
Hearing Mu Lingyun's question, Zuo Xiangyang had just opened his mouth, and before he could speak, a group of people dressed in official clothes rushed in and surrounded the two of them, one of whom said: "The bold and evil bandit actually brutally killed Lord Li, come on, arrest these two murderers for me!" ”
Mu Lingyun was stunned, and asked Zuo Xiangyang with his eyes what was going on. Zuo Xiangyang glanced down at Lord Li's corpse, his eyes quickly crossed a few calculations, and suddenly figured out something, a sneer appeared on his face, and said, "Why do you think that we are the murderers of Lord Li?" We don't have any murder weapons, and the second is not stained with blood, catching thieves and catching stolen goods, and the people who are on the official mission still don't understand this truth? ”
The official who spoke didn't seem to expect Zuo Xiangyang to think of the problem so quickly, and his exit was aggressive, but he gave him two slaps, so that he couldn't get off the stage, and said loudly: "Who are you from Lord Li, you appeared in Lord Li's mansion for no reason, especially at this time, how do you explain, lock up first, if you find out that this matter has nothing to do with you, you will naturally be released!" ”
The corners of Mu Lingyun's mouth twitched, and he didn't resist, it was clear that he wanted to arrest them, and there was no excuse for the crime he wanted to add.
Zuo Xiangyang and Mu Lingyun were imprisoned in the prison of Youzhou Mansion in this way, and the Li Mansion guarded by the officials that night was lit with a raging fire, and the guards and the nearby people worked together to put out the fire, but the fire could not be extinguished, the water was splashed up, and the fire burned even more, and the officials could only watch the fire engulf the Li family, and the corpses of the Li Mansion all over the ground turned into a handful of ashes.
The local people covered their mouths when they saw this scene, guessing that this was a heavenly fire from the sky, so there would be no way to extinguish it, Lord Li's whole family was wiped out, and the rumors of the heavenly fire were even more extensive, which alarmed the imperial court to send officials to Youzhou to investigate, and Zuo Xiangyang and Mu Lingyun, who were locked up in prison, did not know.
In the prison, because there is not enough evidence to prove that Zuo Xiangyang and Mu Lingyun are the ones who destroyed Lord Li, the two who were locked in the prison were treated better than the prisoners, the prison was clean and tidy, although it was simple, but in the end, it was okay, the two of them were still locked up in the same cell, and they had company to chat.
Zuo Xiangyang lay on the wooden bed, looked at Mu Lingyun who was sitting on the chair sighing, and said: "Yun Mu, you don't have to worry, Lord Li's family was not killed by us, sooner or later they will have to let us out, let's enjoy this Youzhou prison, I really live for the first time!" ”
The corners of Mu Lingyun's mouth twitched, she really wanted to throw this master out, she definitely didn't admit that it was her master who was so stupid, "How can anyone like you still like to live in a prison cell, I think you can live here for the rest of your life!" ”
Zuo Xiangyang smiled, and said with a good feeling for himself: "I'm not trying to unravel you, what are you doing so seriously, look at you now, your spirit is tense, your eyes are staring at the door, if you continue like this, you should go crazy." ”
Mu Lingyun tilted his head to look at him, and saw that he was giggling, which was completely different from the seriousness and seriousness of walking darts and being in the dart game, and couldn't help asking, "Master, why aren't you worried at all?" If they want to accuse us, we just say it's useless! ”
Zuo Xiangyang jumped up from the board with a carp, sat down beside Mu Lingyun, and said with a faint trace on the corner of his mouth: "You just read too much of the book, and if you haven't done it, you haven't done it, not to mention that this was originally for us, how could the people behind it let us die." ”
Mu Lingyun's eyes widened, and he looked at Zuo Xiangyang in surprise, with a look of desire for knowledge, he leaned in front of Zuo Xiangyang, and said with a smile: "Master, do you know anything?" Tell me about it! ”
Zuo Xiangyang pulled out a very fake smile for her, and then said, "Hehe, I won't tell you!" ”
Mu Lingyun pulled Zuo Xiangyang's sleeve and grinded, and after grinding for a long time, he didn't see him to speak, and finally sat back in his position angrily, his eyes glaring at him viciously.
Zuo Xiangyang lowered his eyes, hid the look in his eyes, and then pretended to be mysterious and smiled at her, so angry that Mu Lingyun didn't want to see him, Zuo Xiangyang saw that she no longer paid attention to himself, the smile on his face faded by two points, he felt bad from the time he stood at the door of the Li family, he was locked in prison, he figured out a lot.
This is simply a long-planned game, this game is afraid that he has entered the game since he took this dart, and has entered the trap of others, and all the motives are afraid to force his father out of the mountain, Zuo Xiangyang couldn't help but clench his hands into fists.
However, he is not without countermeasures to deal with these, while he calmly accepts to live in Youzhou Prison these days, he is also waiting, the other passerby who takes the official road arrives in Youzhou, if he does not find their joint code, he will definitely find a way to get them out.
On the third day after Mu Lingyun and Zuo Xiangyang were imprisoned, the Qin Cha, who was sent by the imperial court to decide the case, arrived, inspected a Li Mansion that was destroyed by fire, and gave a report based on the report, and the Lord Qin sent Mu Lingyun and Zuo Xiangyang to interrogate, "Who is in the court?" ”
Familiar sounds!
Mu Lingyun looked up at the man in the blue official robe sitting under the hanging plaque of the mirror, his eyes widened, and after a while, Mu Lingyun calmed down his mood, and the lord Mu Lingyun who was sitting above the public hall recognized that it was Jiang Ming, a powerful subordinate of Jin Shaoming, who had seen her once from afar when she was in the palace.
Jiang Ming is Jin Shaoming's subordinate, how did he become the minister of the Qin Mission? Does it mean that Jin Shaoming is also in Youzhou?
Mu Lingyun couldn't help but panic, she didn't want to see Jin Shaoming now, and she didn't want to be found by him, when she saw him, she would always involuntarily think of the lost child, that kind of heartache.
Suddenly a hand grabbed her arm, Mu Lingyun looked down, she saw the concern in Zuo Xiangyang's eyes, gave him a faint danger, and turned her head to collect her emotions.
The tacit understanding between them attracted the attention of Lord Qincha above the public court, seeing Mu Lingyun, who was in a somewhat strange mood, Jiang Ming's eyes changed a little, so familiar, he had never seen this person, how could he be so familiar, his hands rose and fell, and he knocked on the table in shock, "Who is in the hall, report your name!" ”
Zuo Xiangyang straightened his waist and said: "Below is Zuo Xiangyang, the head of the Liangcheng Weiyuan Dart Bureau, and next to him is my apprentice, Yun Mu." ”
When Jiang Ming heard Liangcheng, the eyeballs in his black eyes burst out with a dazzling light, Jiang Ming remembered that there was a news some time ago that the princess had appeared in Liangcheng, but it was a pity that Liangcheng was in vain.
Jiang Ming calmed down the strange emotions that came out of his mind, picked up the file and glanced at it, and asked, "On the day when Lord Li's family was wiped out, why did you two appear in Lord Li's study?" ”
"Lord Qiyu, I am the head of the dart, we appeared in Lord Li's mansion to naturally send darts, all the way from Liangcheng, just wait to Youzhou to hand over the things to Lord Li, we can retire successfully, how can I come to Youzhou to see Lord Li who was wiped out, and then we were caught in prison by the official, my lord, we are wronged!"
The corners of Jiang Ming's mouth twitched, and the two people standing in the hall had ruddy complexions, thinking that they didn't let them fall well in prison, shouting such a big grin, it was the first time he had seen it, who came, the young dart head of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, was not rumored to be ruthless, he was a very serious person? What's going on? What he saw or was it fake??
Jiang Ming coughed, and asked with a straight face: "What are you betting on?" Can it be handed over to Master Li? ”
Zuo Xiangyang looked at Jiang Ming with an idiot look, and wanted to ask him if he was stupid, so he said with a cold face: "My lord, the things I bet on belong to the secrets of my dart bureau and cannot be revealed to outsiders, and besides, when we met Lord Li, Lord Li's family died, and the things were naturally still in our hands." ”
Jiang Ming received Zuo Xiangyang's eyes, his face was not very good-looking, and he said sharply: "Zuo Xiangyang, are you still very arrogant?" Do you know that now that you have become a prisoner, this attitude is not afraid that I will sentence you to death? ”
Mu Lingyun pulled Zuo Xiangyang's hand, and when he looked at himself in a slight stunned manner, she opened her mouth and said: "My lord, the pure one is self-turbid, and the one who wants to add to the crime is useless, if the adult is really a wise person with a clear heart and bright eyes, he will definitely clear our grievances, if it is really as you said that we will be punished with capital punishment, I am afraid that you are covering up the real murderer behind the scenes, what does it matter if our master and apprentice die, I am afraid that the black gauze hat that the adult has struggled for a lifetime will fall off." ”
Jiang Ming was choked by Mu Lingyun's tirade, and pointed at her for a long time before he held back a sentence: "Sharp teeth!" ”
Mu Lingyun smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment!" ”
Jiang Ming was half dead by their master and apprentice, thinking that when he was on an errand in front of King Ming, where had he met such an arrogant person, he waved his hand and asked the officials to put them back in prison, out of sight and out of mind, and drove away the two troubled people, Jiang Ming began to think about Lord Li's murder case, and was convinced in his heart that the two of them were not murderers.
Looking at the report of the inspection, the murder weapon was determined to be a spear, who didn't know that Weiyuan Dart Bureau is the head of the spear Zuo Guangji is a spear heirloom, and the one-handed Lieyun marksmanship dares to make the people of the world surrender, Jiang Ming's brows are tightly locked, this person is afraid that he is going to those two arrogant masters and apprentices.
Since Jiang Ming knew that the people behind the scenes were going for them, he naturally would not sit idly by, mobilize people to guard the prison, and no one was allowed to go in, and on the other hand, he seized the time to track down the real culprit behind the scenes.
