Chapter 52: Eliminating Harm in the East of the City
Before everyone could react, the bearded man came over and slashed at the old coachman's arm, these two little robbers just wanted to rob some money, so they didn't want to kill, the old coachman who was in severe pain was still holding the fat man's leg tightly, when the bearded man just wanted to make a second knife, Song Lingxi stepped forward with an arrow step, grabbed the bearded man's wrist and kicked him out, the fat man turned around and glared angrily, and slashed at Song Lingxi, Song Lingxi's body dodged to the right on one side, turned around, and kicked the fat man's back with a flying leg, only to hear "Ah" The fat man fell to the ground in response.
Then Song Lingxi slowly picked up the old coachman, and the silk handkerchief in his hand gave him a wound: "Uncle, are you okay?"
"It's okay, thank you girl"
"Ahem, ahem...... Let's go."
The two of them turned around and the unconvinced bearded man pounced with a knife again, because the bandits were attacking from behind, so Song Lingxi and the old coachman did not notice it, and the peony standing next to the carriage had already lost his face with fright.
"Miss be careful"
Hearing this, Song Lingxi pushed the old coachman away, turned around and grabbed the knife in the beard's hand, and quickly wiped the beard's neck, and the beard fell to the ground before he could close his eyes.
"Big Brother ......"
The fat man also showed a sad expression when he saw the bearded man lying on the ground and his hideous old face covered with horizontal meat, and then raised his knife and slashed at Song Lingxi: "You stinky woman, you return my eldest brother's life."
Song Lingxi lowered his waist and did a backflip to avoid this knife, the fat man did not give up and then made a second knife, Song Lingxi raised his hand and grabbed the fat man's hand with the knife and pushed the blade to the fat man's neck, the fat man was forced to retreat again and again, when the fat man leaned against the carriage, the blade was about to cut his throat, the old coachman hurriedly stepped forward: "Girl, don't kill again, this murder is a serious crime."
Song Ling's heart pushed the knife to the fat man's neck artery: "Killing one person is also killing, killing two people is also killing, such a villain is innocent of death"
Back in the carriage, everyone was still apprehensive, Song Lingxi saw that the two pairs of young people were looking down and didn't dare to look at her, thinking about it carefully, where had these ordinary people seen this kind of murderous scene, and it was normal for people to be a little afraid: "I killed the person, if the people from the governor's mansion and yamen ask about it, you can answer it truthfully." ”
As soon as the light was on, the bodies of the two thugs were carried to the gate of the governor's yamen, although they were two gangsters, but after all, they were two lives, how could the people of the governor's yamen sit idly by.
However, the crowd of onlookers didn't seem to be friendly at all, and none of them pointed to the corpse and scolded them, which shows that these two people are really not good at it, and they must have done a lot of things to bully and dominate the market on weekdays.
After looking for people all night, Han Peng was put back to rest at dawn, when he passed by the governor's yamen, he happened to meet the people from the governor's yamen to deal with the corpse, the emperor has always had few homicides at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and this time there were two lives at the same time, looking at the two corpses on the ground Han Peng's occupational disease was committed in an instant, and he was originally sleepy to death, and he suddenly came to the spirit: "Li Zhutou, what's going on?" ”
Li Zhutou raised his head: "Commander Han, the two gangsters in the east of the city usually bully men and women as frequent visitors to the prison of the governor's mansion, and they were killed in the east of the city last night."
"How did you die?"
"was killed by his own knife, the murderer should be a person who knows martial arts"
When Han Peng lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, a faint fragrance came to his nose: "Li Zhutou, what kind of smell is this?"
Li Zhutou sniffed with a confused expression: "Taste? What does it taste like? ”
"It seems to be a fragrance"
"Yes, it's the fragrance, how can there be a fragrance on these two rough people, it is estimated that it was rubbed on the girl of Hualou."
"No, the girl in Hualou relies on the fragrance of her body to attract guests, and she usually doesn't use such a light incense powder."
"Then Commander Han means that this fragrance was left by the murderer?"
"It's hard to say now, most of the people in the city gathered in the area of Sansheng Bridge last night, and it must be difficult to find witnesses if there are fewer passers-by coming and going in the city, it seems that this murder case may not be easy to investigate."
"Yes, but it's really impossible to do a murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven, now we should be busy, by the way, did your princess find it?"
"No, it's just because I tossed around the princess last night and was just about to go home, and the case has to make progress, tell me about it, I haven't had a murder case for many years"
"Okay, then you go slowly"
The old coachman's words made Song Lingxi sleepless all night, the old coachman's son died on the battlefield to exterminate her father's rebels, that is also their Song family indirectly killed the old coachman's only son, and now the pension has not been paid, the old coachman has been injured again, and his family's livelihood is the biggest problem
"Peony, do you remember where the uncle who drove the car last night lived?"
"It seems to be Lijia Village at the end of Dongguan Alley. Why do you ask this young lady? ”
"You prepare some silver taels and you will send it to the old man, he is injured and may need money to see a doctor"
Li Zhutou rode a horse and hurried to Han Peng's house, but Han Peng had been recalled to the palace, and Li Zhutou rushed to the Qi Palace's mansion to find Han Peng, and Han Peng, whose eyes were red, saw that Li Zhutou's eyes instantly released brilliance: "Li Zhutou, is there any clue, the people from your governor's mansion and yamen are really godlike in handling the case."
"The silver ticket of the Qi Palace, which was found on the deceased's body, the fragrance on the deceased's body can be determined to be from the silver ticket"
Han Peng hurriedly took the silver ticket and sniffed it: "It's true, this silver ticket should be placed together with the incense powder for a long time, one hundred taels, such a large denomination is only available to the master, who else knows about this?" ”
"How dare I talk nonsense about such a big matter related to the Qi Palace, and I will hurry up to find you without stopping, do you want to tell the prince about this?"
"Because of the princess's affairs, the prince has been very angry recently, and I guess he doesn't have the heart to care about these things, you can take me to the place where the body was found first."
Coming to the place where the body was found, Han Peng looked around, this place was very secluded, one side by the moat was shaded by trees, and the other side was also a small forest, and there were people far away; "This place is very secluded, who reported the crime?"
"The old Yang Tou couple who are responsible for cleaning the streets in this area"
"In such a secluded place, will they be here to block the road and rob, but they meet a powerful character and are killed by others"
"I think so too, this road is the only way to the east of the city, but this place is not crowded during the day, and there are even fewer people at night."
Han Peng looked at the black mass on the ground and said, "What is this?" It doesn't look like blood."
Li Zhutou took out the knife and scraped it a few times on the black thing, then put the knife down and sniffed the tip of his nose: "It seems to be horse dung, and it looks like cow dung, and the smell is quite strong, it should have been pulled here in the past two days."
