Chapter 53: Wen Song's Death
They are all people who practice martial arts, and getting up early has become a habit, and as soon as the sky is slightly bright, everyone has already walked out of the room.
In the name of needing Xiao Chunzi's help to arrest the "Red Fox" criminal, Wu Feng invited Xiao Zheng and the others to go to Fengcheng to meet Lu Qu, and Jingxin Shitai also identified Xiao Zheng as "Xiao He" in his heart, and asked him to go with confidence, and Gu Mansion was taken care of by them.
An Xin didn't say anything more, her pretty face was tense, and she didn't look at Xiao Zheng, looking indifferent to him.
Xiao Zheng smiled at her, and galloped towards Fengcheng with Wu Feng.
At this time, Lu Qu had just finished washing up and was walking leisurely towards the restaurant.
"Lord Lu, it's no good, Jia Wensong is dead! General, please go to the firewood room quickly! ”
The soldier's words almost didn't scare Lu Qu's soul away: "What did you say?" You repeat! ”
The soldier had to repeat it again.
Lu Qu couldn't care about eating anymore, so he lifted the hem and ran towards the firewood room.
Although it was only a few dozen meters away, Lu Qu was stunned and felt like he had run a few thousand meters, and he entered the firewood room panting, and Cui Zhenhai was already standing in front of Jia Wensong's body.
"General Cui, huhu... Finally... What the hell is going on? Why did Jia Wensong die? ”
Cui Zhenhai turned to look at Lu Qu, "Lord Lu, I don't know what's going on, the soldier has already gone to ask for help." ”
At this time, Lu Qu also calmed down: "Can you tell if it was suicide or homicide?" ”
Cui Zhenhai shook his head, "I can't see it, and it's not easy to speculate, he didn't have anything abnormal when we left yesterday, but it is estimated that he should be in a bad mood, and he also knows that he will not escape death, so suicide cannot be ruled out." ”
Lu Qu waved his fist angrily, "Now that he is dead, how can we explain to the imperial court?" Although the evidence is conclusive, His Majesty has not personally tried it, and he has not explained many things. Alas! ”
Cui Zhenhai knew that Lu Qu's biggest credit for going west to Liangzhou this time was to escort Jia Wensong safely to the capital, although he was also responsible, but the main thing was to protect his safety, as for the trial of the case, he could only try to help, and now that Jia Wensong is dead, Lu Qu is afraid that he will return in vain.
"Lord Lu, this matter will also be responsible, after all, it is my soldiers who take care of Jia Wensong, and I will explain it clearly to Your Majesty when I get to the capital!"
When Lu Qu saw Cui Zhenhai say this, he also knew that he meant well, "What is General Cui talking about, since we are here together in Liangzhou, of course we are facing it together, not to mention that I am the Qincha appointed by His Majesty, and the main responsibility is still up to me." Now our top priority is to hurry up and find out how Jia Wensong died, or not Your Majesty, or His Royal Highness the Prince, we can't explain it! ”
Cui Zhenhai gritted his teeth and nodded, he just reported the good news to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday to get the key evidence, and now it's okay, the person died directly, they must find out the reason before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes to Fengcheng, otherwise they really can't face the Prince.
Lu Qu walked back and forth in the firewood room, and Cui Zhenhai stood there without saying a word.
When the husband arrived, the two of them were excited at the same time and asked him to hurry up and conduct an autopsy.
But as time passed, looking at the puzzled expression on his face, the mood of the two fell to the bottom again.
As they expected, he shook his head and didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"Go and find the most famous doctor in Fengzhou City, I don't believe I can't find out the reason!" Lu Qu angrily waved his hand and roared at the soldiers at the door.
After another anxious wait, a soldier ran eagerly towards them.
Lu Qu started the fire directly before he could speak, "You don't need to be polite, just bring it in!" ”
The soldier was stunned, "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has arrived~"
"What?" Lu Qu almost fell to the ground with a stumble, "Too... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived? ”
Cui Zhenhai didn't expect the prince to come so soon, he was really afraid of something.
Just when the two of them wanted to go out to greet the prince, they saw that Wu Feng had already led Xiao Zheng towards the firewood room.
The two immediately bowed down and saluted, "Minister Lu Qu (Cui Zhenhai) to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Xiao Zheng stood in front of the two of them, "Let's be polite, I heard Lord Lu getting angry from afar, what the hell is going on?" ”
Lu Qu straightened up in embarrassment, "Back to Your Highness, Jia Wensong... He's dead! ”
"What?" Without waiting for Xiao Zheng to speak, Wu Feng immediately got into the firewood room through the gap between the two.
Xiao Zheng looked at the faces of the two of them, knowing that they didn't dare to joke about this kind of thing, he immediately followed.
At this time, Wu Feng was already examining Jia Wensong's body, "Judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, it should have been dead yesterday." ”
He came over and looked at Lu Qu, "Lord Lu, what is going on, is it suicide or homicide?" ”
Lu Qu swallowed nervously, and looked at Xiao Zheng carefully, "I don't know yet, but the minister has already sent someone to invite the best doctor in Fengzhou City, and he should be there soon!" ”
Xiao Zheng didn't hold them accountable, and beckoned to Xiao Chunzi, "Xiao Chunzi, look what's going on!" ”
Junko walked over to the corpse and carefully examined his nails, eyelids, and hair and found nothing unusual. He then began to feel the corpse's acupuncture points with his true qi, until he found an extremely small needle eye between his right chest and upper arm.
Xiao Junzi looked at the servant next to him, "Bring a knife." ”
He was stunned for a moment, and quickly handed his scalpel to Xiao Chunzi.
Without a knife at the eye of the needle, Xiao Chunzi raised the knife and cut a hole directly in the heart of the corpse.
Lu Qu shuddered and turned around and didn't dare to look, but Cui Zhenhai and Wu Feng looked at the knife edge one after another, and saw a silver needle stabbed diagonally above the heart, and the tip of the needle had already entered halfway.
Xiao Chunzi threw the knife on the board and turned his head to look at Cui Zhenhai, "General Cui, where did Jia Wensong die?" ”
Cui Zhenhai immediately called the soldiers who were guarding and asked him to point out to Xiao Chunzi, "He sat in the corner with his head down, we always thought he was asleep, so we ignored him, and when we called him to eat this morning, we found out that he was dead." ”
"And when was the last time you spoke to him?"
The soldier thought about it for a moment, and then said the last time he communicated with him, "It seems that yesterday at lunchtime, we called him to eat, he just frowned and shook his head, did not speak, and then we ignored him. ”
Xiao Junzi walked towards the place where Jia Wensong was sitting pointed out by the soldier, sat there gently, and looked in the direction of the pinhole towards the plank of the firewood room, which happened to be a window.
He came to the window, looked at the tiny pinhole in the window, nodded slightly, and said his judgment, "The needle came in from the window, and then pierced the acupoint in his right chest, and pierced his heart with the flow of blood, and then died. ”
Not to mention Lu Qu and Cui Zhenhai, even Wu Feng heard of this method of killing for the first time, "The needle flows in the acupuncture points of people? And then a fatal stab in the heart? ”
After receiving an affirmative reply from Xiao Chunzi, the three of them widened their eyes in shock, "It's incredible!" ”
Xiao Chunzi looked at Cui Zhenhai, "This person's martial arts are extremely strong, judging by his mastery of silver needles, he should also have a lot of attainments in secret weapons and medical skills!" ”
Cui Zhenhai rolled his eyes, "What do you mean?" So when exactly was he killed? ”
Xiao Chunzi calculated, "Judging from the speed of the needle flowing in the human body, it should have been stabbed the night before yesterday." ”
"The night before yesterday?" Wu Feng thought for a while: "At that time, the minister was still here!" At that time..."
When Cui Zhenhai heard this, he punched the wooden stick next to him, "Those fifteen Shadow Divisions!" ”
Wu Feng also recalled, "At that time, we only focused on the number of people in the Shadow Division and ignored their positions, could it be that someone took advantage of our inattention at that time and laid a black hand on Jia Wen?" ”
Xiao Junzi denied their speculation, "Judging from the skills of those fifteen people, they shouldn't be able to do it!" ”
"Is that someone else?!" The increasingly complicated situation made Wu Feng a little confused.
"Interrogate that Qingmao, let him take you to his residence to check the situation, Xiao Chunzi, you also follow, so as not to run into that master!" Since it is uncertain who did it now, we can only start from Qingmao's clues.
"Well, that Qingyou shouldn't know that Qingmao has confessed, sooner rather than later, let's set off immediately!"
After Wu Feng and Xiao Chunzi left, Xiao Zheng and the three of them did not stop here.
When they came to the hall, Cui Zhenhai and Lu Qu gave Xiao Zheng all the evidence they had found about Jia Wensong.
Xiao Zheng didn't rush to read those letters, he first picked up the account book, and then played with the two tokens repeatedly, and it took a full two quarters of an hour before he opened his mouth and asked Lu Qu, "What does Lord Lu think about this case?" ”
Lu Qu had been waiting for Xiao Zheng to ask, and when he saw that he finally spoke, he immediately wanted to get up and answer, and saw Xiao Zheng motioning for him to sit down, and sat down again, "Your Highness, originally Weichen just thought that this was a corruption case caused by the disaster, but at present, it seems that this place was already rotten before the disaster, and it was enough 12 million taels of silver, how could this be gathered overnight?" Alas! Jia Wensong, a damn corrupt official, really disregarded the trust of the imperial court in him! ”
"There's one more thing I need to tell you two..."
When Xiao Zheng told him about the red fox yesterday, the two of them were silent for a long time before they recovered from the shock.
"Your Highness, this... This Jia Wensong seems to have a big plan! ”
Cui Zhenhai also deeply agreed, "Lord Lu is right, corruption plus intelligence organizations, then it is not an ordinary crime, what kind of conspiracy is someone secretly arranging!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness, Wei Chen thought that this matter must be investigated to the end, Jia Wensong was just a chess piece if he couldn't get it, and now he was killed!"
Of course, Xiao Zheng knew that Jia Wensong had been killed, and he could let such a powerful master come forward to kill him, so it can be seen that Jia Wensong must know some important information, and now he can only wait for the information from Wu Feng's side.
