Chapter 14: Arrest Zheng Manfu
(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes)
I just took over a murder this morning, and the murderer left obvious clues such as knife wounds and sword wounds, and as a result, at night, a master with a knife and a master with a sword attacked him at night.
It also seems too much of a coincidence.
When these two people confessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Zheng Manfu, another amazing coincidence appeared.
A succession of coincidences is not a coincidence.
Thinking of Zhang Ying, who was related to the Zheng family in the morning, it seemed that she was trying her best to rob the case of the restaurant, which was related to the Zheng family.
Qin Rongshuai felt as if someone was deliberately guiding them and turned his attention to the Zheng family.
Looking at the two delirious assassins who had already been tortured, Qin Rongshuai sighed, "Tie them up and follow me." ”
Ye Bushui immediately found two ropes, tied the assassin's hands and feet to a bamboo pole, and carried the two ends by people, and followed Qin Rongshuai all the way to Lu Wenzhao's house.
At this time, Lu Wenzhao had just finished dealing with Xu Xianchun before stepping into the house, and Qin Rongshuai came over with someone.
"Third brother, what are you ......" Lu Wenzhao looked at Qin Rongshuai and a large group of his men in some surprise.
"Big brother, something happened." Qin Rongshuai smiled bitterly, then told him about tonight's events, and then pretended to be happy and said, "Fortunately, I called the brothers to my house for dinner tonight, otherwise I would really be in the way of these people." ”
Lu Wenzhao thought about it and felt a little puzzled, "Whether it's Zheng Manfu's matter or the murder case in the restaurant, it's all our three brothers who investigated it together, why did they just do it to you." ”
"Isn't that simple?" Qin Rongshuai sighed, "Big brother, you are drinking with the Suppression Envoy, and the second brother is investigating the case everywhere with a group of brocade guards, and only one has nothing to do and goes home alone." ”
"I was negligent." Lu Wenzhao suddenly slapped himself hard, "Third brother, from tomorrow ...... No, from now on, none of our three brothers can move alone, and we must have helpers by our side. ”
"This is no problem, I am alone, and there are so many brothers with me, I think that unless a large number of people are mobilized to attack, I am afraid that I will not even be able to enter the door of my courtyard." Qin Rongshuai thought for a while, "The second brother is also single, it is better to let the second brother join me, the eldest brother, you and your sister-in-law together, we go to the yamen every day to go together." ”
"This is a good solution, ahem, that's my junior sister." Lu Wenzhao was a little embarrassed.
"Then you hurry up and call your sister-in-law over, and those people, I will hand over these two prisoners to you first." Qin Rongshuai said hatefully, "I'll go and meet that Zheng Manfu." ”
From the mouths of the two assassins, they found the address where they stayed, and Zheng Manfu was also among them, Qin Rongshuai did not dare to delay, and immediately prepared to go to their lair.
Holding the waist card of the brocade guard, Qin Rongshuai took his subordinates out of the city overnight and went straight to a farm on the outskirts of the capital.
This is a Zhuangzi under the name of Zheng Yangxing, and the people in the Zhuangzi are all tenants of the Zheng family, who eat the Zheng family's rice and plant the Zheng family's land.
Zhuangzi is not big, there are only sixty or seventy households, surrounded by a two-meter-high earthen wall, only the east and west two doors in and out, the door is closed at night, and there is a vigil keeper at the door.
The night watchman carries a gong, and when there is movement, it will be sounded, and the young people in the village will rise up to support each other. In order to prevent thieves, the young and strong farmers of Zhuangzi still have a tradition of practicing martial arts, which is not tricky, but it will be a little troublesome.
"Let people climb over the wall and bring people out secretly, and it's best not to alarm the people in the Zhuangzi." Qin Rongshuai carefully instructed Qin An.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, this is all the work that the brothers are accustomed to." Qin An nodded, and personally took a few nights to touch it.
I saw a few black shadows like civets touching the earthen wall of the farm, taking out their flying claws and throwing them, and then several people climbed over the wall in two or three clicks, and then disappeared.
After about a stick of incense, two figures slipped down the wall of the farm, and then a large package was slowly lowered with a rope, and the two people below caught it steadily.
Then the rest of the men slipped down the rope, retracted their claws, picked up the big bag, and ran back.
The whole action was clean and neat, there was no sound, and no one was alarmed, and at this time, the vigil did not notice it at all, and still walked slowly along the earthen wall in the village.
Qin An walked up to Qin Rongshuai, clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, someone brought it over." ”
"Well done!" Qin Rongshuai showed a satisfied smile, "I'll invite my brothers to have a drink when I go back later." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Qin Rongshuai walked to the side of the big package and untied it, a middle-aged man of about forty, slightly obese, and looked a little like Zhang Ying. took out a portrait of Zheng Manfu from Shen Lian from his arms, compared it, and his appearance was somewhat similar to the portrait.
Qin Rongshuai nodded, it should be this person, and waved his hand, "Take it away." ”
The group took Zheng Manfu back to the city overnight and went straight to Lu Wenzhao's house.
When Qin Rongshuai knocked on the door of Lu Mansion, he found that there were several disciples of Ding Baiying sitting in the courtyard, and as soon as he entered the house and saw Shen Lian was also there, it seemed that Lu Wenzhao moved quickly, as soon as Qin Rongshuai left, he summoned people and called Shen Lian over.
"Third brother, how's the situation?" Lu Wenzhao asked eagerly.
"People brought it." Qin Rongshuai beckoned, "Bring it up." ”
Qin An waited for a few nights to carry a black bag, put it on the ground of the hall, and after untying the bag, he grabbed Zheng Manfu's hair bun and pulled his face so that everyone could see it clearly.
Shen Lian approached him with an oil lamp, looked at it for a moment, and nodded, "Yes, it's this person." ”
Lu Wenzhao slapped excitedly, "Okay, then let the brothers greet you, I want to see what is wrong with this Steward Zheng." ”
Jin Yiwei was established two hundred years ago, and the methods of torture were naturally first-class, and it didn't take long for the pampered housekeeper Zheng to confide the truth.
The killer was indeed sent by him, and he just received an order from the master to kill Lu Wenzhao, Shen Lian, Qin Rongshuai and the other three to prevent them from investigating the case in the restaurant, and he was afraid that the three of them would bite Zheng Manfu.
Zheng Manfu is not very clear, he only knows that the original plan was to send Zhang Ying to take over the case of Cui Bizhong's killing, but the case was not grabbed, and Zhang Ying was killed by three people.
The Zheng family was a little anxious, and sent someone to send a message to Zheng Manfu to gather people and make sure to kill these three people tonight.
"It seems that the case of this restaurant is not simple." Lu Wenzhao sneered.
Qin Rongshuai thought for a while, and suddenly said, "This is not right. ”
"Huh?" Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian looked at him together, "Third brother, what's wrong." ”
"Zheng Manfu must know more than that, let the brothers continue to be sentenced." Qin Rongshuai said with a gloomy face.
"This ......" Shen Lian's two subordinates hesitated a little, "Lord Qin, continue to be punished, what do we ask?" ”
"Don't ask anything." Qin Rongshuai sneered, "I'll see what he can say." ”
"Gotcha!" Shen Lian's two subordinates rolled up their sleeves and then entertained Zheng Manfu.
A burst of heart-rending screams rang out for half an hour, Zheng Manfu continued to spit out information, what embezzled the money in the house, stole Zheng Yang's concubine, and said a lot of messy things, but he just said how many times he urinated in bed when he was a child.
But Qin Rongshuai still had a cold face and asked Jinyiwei to continue the torture.
In the early hours of the morning, Zheng Manfu suddenly said, "I found Zhang Cha, I recruited him!" I've got it! ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and a little puzzled, who is Zhang Cha?
Qin Rongshuai's eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly, he now finally knew why the prince wanted this person by name.
Lu Wenzhao looked at Qin Rongshuai with some doubts, and was very puzzled by his big reaction, "Third brother, who are you?" ”
"Big brother, let's catch a big fish." Qin Rongshuai let out a sigh of relief.
"Do you know this Zhang Cha?" Lu Wenzhao hurriedly asked.
"Yes." Qin Rongshuai nodded, "But this person is dead." ”
"Dead?" Lu Wenzhao was stunned, "Then is there anything wrong with this person?" ”
"Does Big Brother know about the murder?"
When Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian heard this, their faces immediately changed.
