Chapter 69: The Deserted Mansion
readx;? Chen Shuisheng was finally willing to put on his new shoes, because walking barefoot at night was very likely to be injured, which was also one of the conditions for Yang Jing to promise him to act together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was furious when he saw the foreman sneaking out of the manor wall, but this anger quickly subsided, and disappointment followed, and after the disappointment gradually calmed down, he could finally think calmly about why the foreman, whom he regarded as his eldest brother and master, had done such a thing.
"Maybe he's being used, maybe he's a relative of the bad guy behind him, or maybe he's an accomplice of the bad guy?"
Yang Jing didn't know that Chen Shuisheng was thinking about this, he felt Chen Shuisheng's dullness, thinking that he only had anger and disappointment in his heart, but he didn't know that Chen Shuisheng had taken a big step forward in his state of mind, and had learned to abandon subjective likes and dislikes and analyze things objectively.
Although this foreman looks short and strong, his posture is light, and it is effortless to climb over the wall, and he is vigorous, although Yang Jing can't see it, but Song Fengya and Xu Fengwu Tang Chong are unanimously sure that he has practiced martial arts, and his foundation is not weak!
Judging this, let the big guy feel excited and expectant, because Xu Fengwu and Song Fengya are skilled, Wang Dou is a veteran of the pursuit, they followed the foreman unhurriedly, the latter was not aware at all, and after half an hour, they finally came to a mansion in the east of the city.
There was originally a market in the east of the city, surrounded by many shops, and it was also a very lively area, but two years earlier, I heard that a prince was going to be sent to Baling, so the government cleared this area and planned to build a palace.
As a result, the imperial court decree was changed, the prince was not decentralized, and the palace was only half built, and the merchants could no longer get the land back, and it was finally abandoned.
In the past two years, there have also been local large households asking the government for entrustment, and they secretly don't know how much money they have counted, so they want to be able to get this land back, but it is about the royal family, and the local government does not dare to make their own claims, but I heard that the Peng family has begun to lay out and plan to build this place into a palace, so that Yan Guifei can live when she returns to the province.
The foreman was very familiar with the terrain here, and soon came to the abandoned palace, looked left and right, and then got in.
Yang Jing and the others have been following behind, seeing this, Xu Fengwu and Tang Chong Wang Dou scattered in all directions to prevent Wang Buliu from escaping, while Yang Jing took Song Fengya and Chen Shuisheng, followed the foreman, and walked into the manor of the palace.
Although only half of the construction has been completed, the palace has already taken shape, the bluestone foundation is like a huge platform, and the pillars of the main hall rise to the sky, as if supporting the dark sky, because there is no roof, but it is more hideous and majestic!
Yang Jing was not familiar with the terrain here, for fear of losing the foreman, in case he startled the snake and let Wang Buliu escape, this clue would be broken again, so he followed closer.
Fortunately, the foreman thought it was safe, and he relaxed his guard, and did not notice the tracking behind him, and a fire soon appeared in a side hall in front of him.
Yang Jing saw the firelight, and his spirits immediately lifted up, this is very likely to be Wang Buliu's hiding place!
As soon as he remembered that Wang Buliu would play himself around, Yang Jing was angry, and rushed into the side hall with Song Fengya!
The fire was not very vigorous, and on both sides there were wooden shelves, on which hung a medicine pot, which was gurgling, and the smell of medicinal soup diffused throughout the side hall, and on the straw in the corner, an old woman in a blue coarse cloth was lying, and Wang Buliu was giving needles to the old woman!
"Less... Young Master!"
When the foreman saw Yang Jing and the others appear, his face turned pale immediately, and he subconsciously took two steps back, but kicked over the broken bowl on the ground.
In addition to Wang Buliu and his wife and the foreman, there was also a woman squatting by the fire, dressed in shabby green clothes and with long messy hair, looking at the fire in a daze.
The firelight flickered, illuminating the woman's face, although her left face was a little smudge, but it was delicate and beautiful, and she could vaguely see that she was a stunning woman, while the right side of her face was like a burned wax figure, half of her face was drooping, her eyelids were rolled, her mouth was crooked, and her whole face was drooping loosely, which was terrifying!
"Ahh
Although Yang Jing and Song Fengya also frowned, they were not even afraid of swollen and rotten corpses, not to mention that this woman was a big living person.
And both Yang Jing and Song Fengya know medical skills, and they know that this woman who is not a ghost or a ghost actually has a disease.
This disease is called "stroke" in Chinese medicine, and Bell's palsy in Western medicine, facial nerve palsy, and facial nerve paralysis, which is often referred to as facial paralysis.
Facial paralysis is caused by damage to the facial nerve and the inability to control the muscles of the face, which causes the patient to have symptoms of distorted facial expression.
This woman must have been paralyzed for a long time, and she has not been well treated, and the entire right side of her face has been completely deformed, which is why she looks so horrible.
When she heard Chen Shuisheng's exclamation, she raised her head suddenly, but her eyes were staring at Yang Jing deadly, and then she screamed, retreating back like seeing a ghost, and the whole person fell into a state of madness!
Yang Jing was confused, he had never met this woman, why was she so afraid of herself? Could it be that Yun Gou'er had created some kind of evil? But if this was the case, Wang Buliu should have known, and he would not have revealed the news to Yang Jing.
When the foreman saw this, he immediately became nervous, hugged the woman, and kept comforting her, who was like a wayward child, unable to calm down.
Wang Buliu was obviously not too surprised by Yang Jing's arrival, he slowly stood up and said to Yang Jing: "Please take off your official uniform..."
Because it was an arrest operation, Yang Jing wore an official uniform, instead of wearing a black night uniform like Song Fengya and others.
Sure enough, after Yang Jing took off her official uniform, the woman looked at Yang Jing with a frightened and confused face, and finally quieted down.
Yang Jing's eyes looked the woman up and down, and found that she was barefoot, and she knew it in her heart.
First, they went to Wang Buliu's residence to arrest Wang Buliu, and found the embroidered shoes that had been left behind in his house, thinking that they should have belonged to this woman.
Wang Buliu nodded, as if grateful for Yang Jing's understanding, and then walked back to his place and said to Yang Jing and the others: "The place is very simple, and there is nothing to entertain your lords, just sit down." ”
Wang Buliu's bearing is also admirable, such a calm and wise old man is really difficult to associate with a ruthless serial murderer.
Yang Jing was not polite either, and sat down on the edge of the fire, while Song Fengya and Chen Shuisheng protected his left and right.
"Know why I'm looking for you?"
"Know a little. ”
"Then why are you running away?"
"Hey... I knew that Lord Yang would definitely find the flaw, but I didn't expect the adult to chase me here so quickly, I was not afraid that the adult would arrest me, but I was afraid that even if the adult found out the truth, he would not be able to catch the real culprit, let alone punish the real culprit..."
Wang Buliu sighed, which made Yang Jing feel a little displeased, he snorted, raised his head and said: "Although Yang is not talented, he is also willing to uphold justice for the people on this side, punish evil, promote good, eliminate violence and peace, Mr. underestimate Yang!"
"Heh..."Wang Buliu smiled disappreciatively, and then continued to Yang Jing: "Then the little old man dares to ask Lord Yang, will Peng Liancheng be executed? Except for the unlucky county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, and the teaching, Yan Lichun has not even been involved in the slightest, is this how Lord Yang punishes evil and promotes good?"
Wang Buliu had to say that he was an old fox who specialized in scheming, and he suddenly hit Yang Jing's sore spot, Yang Jing was also speechless about this, and it took a long time before he lowered his head and sighed softly: "Yang is just a criminal case pusher, and it is my duty to solve the case, but the trial is the meaning of the top, and I am powerless below..."
Seeing that Yang Jing was so lonely, Wang Buliu shook his head lightly and said: "Lord Yang's words are wrong, you ask Miss Song beside her, what would she do if her father, Scholar Song encountered, such a thing? Thinking that when the old Song Pavilion was just an official, I don't know how many powerful people he had offended, otherwise he would not have been in a corner of peace now, and would retire in a small place like Baling..."
When Song Fengya heard this, she was also proud, but Yang Jing seemed to have figured out something, and said to Wang Buliu: "What Mr. said is that Yang has been taught..."
Seeing that Yang Jing was so humble, Wang Buliu finally nodded with satisfaction, and then bowed to Yang Jing and said: "In today's officialdom, there are not many characters like Lord Yang, and the little old man was also greedy for life and afraid of death at first, so he thought about escaping. ”
Yang Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wang Buliu's statement, and asked in a good time: "Old man, you should know the identities of the three women in the city gate, right? ”
Wang Buliu said before that he was afraid of the prestige of the supervising adults, and he didn't dare to look at the three kiln sisters, but as a man, how could he hold back such curiosity, besides, with his ability to observe words and colors, if he wanted to sneak a few glances without being discovered, it was absolutely no problem, and he never forgot the faces of people, and it was impossible not to recognize the three kiln sisters!
And after seeing this crazy woman with facial paralysis, Yang Jing was even more sure that Wang Buliu knew the identities of the three women, and he also vaguely speculated why Wang Buliu left fingerprints on the three women's bodies!
"Why didn't Lord Yang ask me if I was a murderer?" Wang Buliu asked a little playfully, with some expectation in his eyes.
Yang Jing also smiled: "It's not clear whether Du Kefeng is a murderer, but the old gentleman is definitely not a murderer." ”
Wang Buliu leaned forward and leaned in: "How can you see it?"
Yang Jing: "Because the murderer hates women, and the old gentleman never abandons his bad wife, he risked the danger to let this foreman come to me to steal medicine, and the old gentleman also took in this girl, which does not meet the characteristics of the murderer." ”
Wang Buliu nodded noncommittally, while Yang Jing continued: "If Yang's inference is correct, the old gentleman not only killed those three women, but also treated those three women, is it right?"
Now Wang Buliu was finally surprised, he never thought that Yang Jing would know this, you must know that God knows this matter, he has never told anyone!
