Chapter 158: Snatching the Body

The affection on Song Chang's face became extremely serious, why did he have to destroy this corpse? The case hidden behind this corpse is definitely not simple.

Song Chang and Zhang Wu took a cart from the villagers and transported Wei Cheng's body back to the capital on horseback. Because he was worried that he would encounter people who came to strengthen the corpse on the road, Song Chang also asked a village name to bring a message to the yamen and asked the yamen to send troops to help.

When they were not far from the capital, the people from the Yamen came, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. When he returned to the capital, Song Chang ordered someone to protect Wei Cheng's body, and then went to ask the king for instructions.

Zhang Wu also wanted to return home, and the two had a section of the road in the same direction, so they walked side by side.

On the way, Song Chang said the question that had been stuffed in his heart, "Why do you care so much about Wei Cheng's affairs?" ”

Zhang Wu thought that since Dou Yifang asked him to find Song Chang, then Song Chang should also be a person trusted by Dou Yifang, so he told Dou Yifang.

Song Chang lowered his head and was silent, he didn't expect that this matter would involve the harem, and he personally didn't want to have anything to do with the affairs of the harem.

"Brother Song, what's wrong?"

"Nothing ......"

Although Zhang Wu felt that something was wrong with him, he did not ask in detail, but asked his opinion on the case.

The clue that is known now is that Wei Cheng had drunk a lot of alcohol before his death, and he should have been drunk.

Then there were fights with people, and the fatal wound was a blunt object to the back of the head.

Based on these alone, it can be inferred that Wei Cheng had an argument with someone after drinking, and was unfortunately killed.

The murderer was afraid of the crime, so he put Wei Cheng in a cloth bag and threw it into the river, trying to destroy the corpse.

This was Song Chang's initial conjecture, but if Wei Cheng's death was related to the masters in the palace, it would not be so simple, it would definitely be a mess.

Seeing Song Chang's bitter face, Zhang Wu quipped: "I can't imagine that there is a case that can stump you." ”

"Alas......" Song Chang sighed helplessly, he didn't want to tell Zhang Wu the reason, because he didn't want his friends to be involved. But this seems unlikely, after all, his wife is a good friend of Dou Yifang, so he can only smile bitterly.

The two came to a fork in the road and said goodbye. Zhang Wu was a little uneasy, and reminded Song Chang to be careful.

Song Chang quipped: "You take care of yourself first, if you go back so late, your younger brother and sister should be angry......"

Zhang Wu smiled embarrassedly, and rode away after making a gesture.

Song Chang continued to go in the direction of the palace, he was not in a hurry, thinking about the possibilities of this case as he walked.

The drums sounded in the third watch, and the night fog fell. The streets were very deserted, and Song Chang was even more sober at this time.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from around the corner and came straight to Song Chang, who pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked at the person in front of him.

I saw that the man had his head down, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Who are you?"

"Lord Song, can you take a step to speak?"

Song Chang hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

At the end of the gloomy alley, there was a room with a lamp, and the light was faint, like the phosphorus fire of a grave.

"Lord Song, please inside." The man opened the door and said.

Since Song Chang came, he was not stunned, and he walked in. The room was bright and warm. There was a fat man dressed in gorgeous clothes sitting at the table, leisurely drinking tea.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the fat man looked over, got up to greet him, and said, "I've seen Lord Song." ”

Song Chang looked at this person, and only felt that his face was raw.

He knows all the famous people in this capital, especially this person is a fat man, if he is from the vicinity of Jinyang, it is impossible for him not to know such a conspicuous appearance.

"Who are you?"

"Lord Song, sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up, let's talk slowly."

Song Chang sat down, and the fat man immediately poured him a cup of tea, and said as he poured it: "Caomin's surname is Feng, and he was entrusted to discuss a matter with Lord Song. Of course, who entrusted me, please forgive Feng for not being able to tell me, and I hope that Lord Song Haihan. ”

Song Chang was displeased, and said coldly: "What do you want to discuss?" ”

Feng Fatzi didn't answer, but clapped his hands, and the person who brought Song Chang here before dragged out a box from the back room of the room, dragged it to Song Chang, and then opened it.

I saw that the box was full of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jade.

"What do you mean by that?" Song Chang glanced at it and asked.

"A small greeting is not a tribute." Feng Fatzi said with a smile.

"A little greeting gift, you're really generous."

"It's okay!!"

"So can you get down to business?"

Feng Fatzi nodded, moved his body, and sat upright before saying, "Regarding Wei Chengdi's corpse, our host hopes that Lord Song can cooperate." ”

Song Chang couldn't help but wonder if he was one of the people who snatched the corpse.

"How do you cooperate?"

"It's very simple, let's just say that Wei Cheng drowned."

"He's a janitorial guard, why can't he know water?"

"Isn't he drunk, adults can say that he was drunk and stumbled and accidentally fell into the river......

Song Chang took a sip of tea and laughed disdainfully, "It's really thoughtful, did you do Wei Cheng's death?" ”

Feng Fatzi smirked: "I'm cowardly, how can I have that ability." ”

"Maybe you won't say that in prison......"

Song Chang's words instantly cooled the atmosphere.

Feng Fatzi laughed dryly: "Song Da is really good at joking......"

Song Chang said with a very good look: "I, as a person, have never joked with criminals. ”

Feng Fatzi's smile froze, "Lord Song, have you thought clearly?" ”

As he spoke, seven or eight people came out of the fog, all of them burly, still holding knives in their hands, and the blade of the knife was dazzlingly bright in the light.

Song Chang's face was not afraid and he was still calm.

"Lord Song, I don't want to say it a second time...... "Feng Fatzi had a smile on his face again, a smug smile, as if everything was under his control.

"Me too......" Song Chang smiled coldly and suddenly lifted the table.

Feng Fatzi didn't expect him to make a move, so he avoided it, and fell to the ground, pressed by the table. Just as he was about to climb out, he suddenly felt a sinking on his body, and after entering, a sword that was also bright and dangling was erected next to his head.

Capturing the thief and capturing the king, Song Chang couldn't help but understand this truth, and he used it very easily. He stepped on the table with one foot, holding a sword to Feng Fatzi's head.

Say to the man who was about to rush up, "Stop, or I'll kill his dog!" ”

The killers were stunned for a moment, and then they pounced again. Song Chang suddenly realized that he had captured a fake "king".

Song Chang was furious, killed Feng Fatzi, and then raised his sword to deal with these killers. These killers were determined to kill him, and they were ruthless.

Song Chang was invincible, and he grabbed the road while parrying, and there were several more wounds on his body, so he broke out.

The horse left outside was gone, and Song Chang could only escape with his legs, and the killers were in hot pursuit. At this critical juncture, Song Chang stumbled and fell to the ground. The killers saw an opportunity and jumped on it.

Suddenly, an arrow shoots out of the darkness, knocking out one of the killers. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other killers picked up the injured killer and retreated.

Song Chang looked in the direction where the arrow was fired, and it turned out to be General Gao of the patrol battalion, and he was finally relieved.

This time he was able to save a life, thanks to the messenger from the Han Court.

The Han court came with an envoy, and the guards of the capital were more strict than before.

Gao Zhen recognized that the person on the ground was Song Chang, and immediately dismounted to help, "Lord Song, how can you ...... I'll take you to the doctor right now! ”

Song Chang shook his head, "No, I'm going to enter the palace......"

Palace.

Liu Heng heard that Song Chang was injured and asked to see him, so he rushed over and came to the meeting hall in the outer court.

When Liu Heng arrived, someone from the palace had already invited the imperial doctor to bandage him. But because he had no clothes to change, he was still wearing bloodstained clothes. When Liu Heng saw it, he was shocked.

"We're looking at the king......"

"Song Qing, hurry up and be exempt!"

Song Chang felt struggling to stand up, so Liu Heng immediately went up to help him and helped him sit on the chair.

"Song Qing, why is this?"

Song Chang told the story of his attack, and Liu Heng was furious when he heard it.

"I can't imagine that there are such evil things under the rule of the capital of my country, these people are really bold and reckless, and they have no king's law!"

"Weichen implores the king to issue an order to find out about the murder of Wei Cheng!"

"This king will definitely be, Song Qing, how are your injuries?"

"I can't die, I still want to catch those rabbit cubs!"

Seeing that he could still talk and laugh, Liu Heng was relieved, and that night, he arranged for Song Chang to rest in the study of the council hall, and sent several palace people to serve him.

The next day, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Liu Heng ordered all officials to cooperate with Song Chang to investigate Wei Cheng's murder case.

Whelan Palace, Liuli Pavilion.

Wei Muyu tried every possible means to conceal Wei Cheng's case, and even did not hesitate to hand over his handle to Queen Chen, but what was the result?

Not only could the case not be hidden, but the king paid special attention to it. She felt an unprecedented defeat, she was very angry, and then she turned her anger on the palace maids.

The ground was covered with fragments of cups and teapots, and the palace maids knelt in a row, still beaten by Wei Muyu with a whip, and the wails continued, even the butterfly leaves were not spared.

Chang Shun came to the Liuli Pavilion with apprehension, and heard the cries of the palace maids outside the pavilion, knowing that Wei Muyu was angry, so he turned around and left.

I thought in my heart: This master's temper is really getting bigger and bigger, and if he continues to follow her, will it be a blessing or a curse?

On the other hand, in the Chunyan Pavilion of Youlan Palace, Dou Yifang was really happy when she heard that the king was going to thoroughly investigate Wei Cheng's case, she didn't want to see Wei Cheng die unjustly.

I don't know what happened to Qingluo...... What a grief she would have been if she had known about it.

Thinking of this, Dou Yifang couldn't help but feel sad again, and even more sad was the light lotus, duckweed and blue clothes.

They can be said to be four people who are very destined, and they came to the Dai Palace on the same day and were divided together to serve the same master.

Although they did not kowtow, their relationship has long been like family and brothers.

They only want Qingluo to return to them safely, and for this, they are willing to give everything.
