Liu Heng nodded again and again, and Dou Yifang let go.

In fact, from Liu Heng's connivance with Zhu Qianyun, it can be seen that Liu Heng has leaned towards Zhu Qianyun's position, thinking that he had judged the wrong case back then.

But there are some things that can't be decided by feelings, so what should be checked is still checked.

Two days later, Chen Huan finally returned. Liu Heng was almost impatient to wait, and had already sent someone out to investigate.

Chen Huan learned that Liu Heng was in a hurry, and when he entered the capital, he went to the palace non-stop. In Moyun Hall, he met Liu Heng. Without waiting for him to salute, Liu Heng asked about the investigation.

But seeing that Chen Huan frowned, his face was embarrassed.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Back to the king's words, the minister learned after many investigations that when Liu Duan was in Yunzhong County, he did forcibly increase the mansions and fields of the Zhu family in the name of the king's desire to build a palace. But ......"

"Go on!"

"Weichen is incompetent, and when he was about to bring the key person witness to the capital, in an inn, the witness Wu San ...... but he was killed......"

Liu Heng was stunned, turned his head and stared at Chen Huan, Chen Huan was ashamed and lowered his head.

"Who killed the witness?"

"It's still been found, but the murderer has been controlled......"

"What do you mean?"

After the murder, Chen Huan immediately ordered someone to block the inn, and the inn did not leave before and after the crime, so the murderer was in the inn, and there were a total of ten people in the inn.

In addition to the shopkeeper, Xiao Er and the cook in the inn, there are six other people who are suspicious. Three of the six men drank in the dining room until dawn, so they could also be excluded.

Therefore, one of the three travelers who lived alone and had no alibi was the murderer.

"If you can catch the murderer, maybe you can ask who sent him to assassinate Wu San......"

"What about the three of them?"

"Weichen brought it back to the capital and temporarily locked up in Tingwei Prison."

"This king orders you to find out the murderer as soon as possible, and the case of the Zhu family cannot be delayed any longer......"

"Weichen Command!"

Chen Huan was about to retreat, but he stopped again and said to Liu Heng: "Weichen feels that Liu Duan seems to know that we are investigating his previous affairs. ”

"Stand down! ……”

Chen Huan made a gesture and retreated.

After the next morning, Liu Heng asked Liu Duan to be invited to Moyun Hall.

"Wechen see the king!"

"Liu Duan, this king asks you, did you take away other people's fields and mansions in the name of this king two years ago?"

"Why did the king say that?" Liu Duan's face was calm, and he looked like he had nothing to do with me.

"Someone complained to the king that you had embezzled someone else's property."

"Ridiculous!" Liu Duan pretended to be very angry, "The king, you are not afraid of the shadow, the king just sends someone to investigate!" ”

Looking at his sworn appearance, he must be very sure to get out of this case.

In order to make him relax his vigilance, Liu Heng said good words to appease. said that he believed him, otherwise how could he have issued an edict to agree to the Zhu family back then?

Reluctantly sent Liu Duan away, Liu Heng went to the harem, called Dou Yifang to go to Liuli Pavilion together, and informed Zhu Qianyun of the situation.

The reason why he wanted to call Dou Yifang was because he could see that Zhu Qianyun could listen to Dou Yifang's words, although he didn't know the reason.

Liu Heng first came to Yalan Palace, and then went to Huilan Palace with Dou Yifang, and told Dou Yifang what he knew on the way.

"In this way, the key is to find out the murderer of the witness Wu San?"

"Exactly."

Liu Heng and Dou Yifang came to the Liuli Pavilion of Huilan Palace, met Zhu Qianyun, and told her about the situation.

She looked a little impatient, thinking that Liu Heng was deliberately delaying, but fortunately, there was Dou Yifang by her side, so that she would not move her hands and feet.

"Sister, it's okay, this case can't be difficult for Lord Tingwei's ......," Dou Yifang said, "Just wait for a few days?" ”

In addition to waiting, Zhu Qianyun really has no other way.

Dou Yifang was also in a hurry, so he summoned Chen Huan and asked him to explain in detail the circumstances of Wu San's murder.

The location of the crime was a suburban inn, and the time of the crime was at night. It was still raining lightly that night. Wu San slept in his room, and there were guards guarding the door.

The guards heard a voice coming from the house, telling Wu San to open the door and did not respond, and after entering, they saw Wu San's body.

The body collapsed next to the window, which was wide open, and the fatal wound was a blow to the head with a blunt object, but the murder weapon has not been found.

The reason why Chen Huan felt that the case was tricky was that when Wu San's body was found, the window of the room was open, but there was no trace of anyone passing by outside the window.

According to Chen Huan's speculation, the murderer made Wu San open the window by knocking on the window, and then hit him on the head, and then erased the footprints and escaped after the murder.

The problem is how the killer pulled the footprints to the point where they did not leave a trace. It had rained a little that day, and the backyard was muddy, how could the murderer wipe his footprints and escape after killing someone in a short period of time?

After a series of investigations and speculations, Chen Huan narrowed the murderer's nausea to Du Wan, Song Qian, and Tao Wang.

The three of them confessed that they were sleeping when they were pacified, and because they were all in their own rooms, no one could prove it.

After listening to Chen Huan's speech, Dou Yifang also felt quite tricky.

It would be of great help if you could go to the scene of the crime and have a look. But now it's not possible. Since you can't get to the scene, let's build a scene.

Dou Yifang found Liu Heng and told him what he thought, Liu Heng didn't say a word, and immediately ordered someone to build an inn that was the same as the scene of the crime according to Chen Huan's intentions.

It only took three days to build the inn, and Dou Yifang entered the inn and confirmed to Chen Huan that everyone lived.

The inn was built in an open space behind the gate of the palace, and the civil and military officials who came in to the court could be seen along the way.

Liu Duan had long known that the king was investigating the case of the Zhu family, and on the day Chen Huan went to Yunzhong County, he sent someone to secretly monitor Chen Huan's every move.

He used to be the county guard of Yunzhong, and although he is now an official in the court, it can be said that it is still his territory there.

Before Chen Huan arrived in Yunzhong County, he ordered people to hurry up and spread the news in advance, so that the people over there could destroy all the evidence.

But he still missed Wu San, Wu San was his follower, and Wu San knew everything he did. It's just that he didn't expect Wu San to betray him.

Angry, Liu Duan decided to get rid of Wu San, so he sent killers to follow Chen Huan all the time. In a suburban inn, the killer is the killer.

But Chen Huan reacted quickly and quickly took control of the inn, leaving the killer with no chance to escape. was also brought back by Chen Huan and locked up in Tingwei Prison.

Now that the inn has been built, the civil and military officials who came to the court will stop when they pass by, look at this humble inn, and talk about what the king's intentions are to build it, and whether there is any political implication.

I'm afraid that the only person who knows what this inn is used for is Liu Duan, and every time he passes by, he will have a chill down his spine.

Dian Keqing Wei Yin saw that his expression was not quite right, and asked him if he was sick, but Liu Duan shook his head impatiently and walked away.

Now he can only pray that Liu Heng can't unravel Wu San's death, and the killer in prison also knows very well that he can only survive if he doesn't recruit, so he won't take the initiative to confess.

In the court, someone asked about the intention of building an inn at the palace gate, Liu Heng smiled indifferently, his smile was mysterious, and said, "Tomorrow, please watch a performance." ”

Performance?

The ministers looked at each other, trying to get some information from others, only to find that everyone else looked equally confused.

"Let's not talk about politics today, let's talk about something else! ......" Liu Heng said.

The ministers were even more curious, the suspicions of the inn had not yet dissipated, which was another puzzle, could it be that something big was going to happen recently?

"Let's talk about lies! ......" Liu Heng glanced at the ministers, "Is there anyone among the secretaries who hasn't told a lie?" ”

Ministers, you look at me again, I look at you, I don't know why the king suddenly asked this. This anomaly really disturbed them.

Seeing this, Liu Heng explained: "You don't have to be nervous, you are just chatting normally today." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone gradually relaxed and began to start the topic. If anyone has not lied, there must be none.

It also leads to some interesting facts: the general Wang Xin is a strict wife, Wang Xin is a good drinker, in order to prevent her husband from drinking, his wife controls his pocket money.

In order to have money to buy wine, Wang Xin secretly hid his private money. Later, his wife found out about this and was scolded.

He said this himself, which caused a burst of laughter in the court, and immediately made the atmosphere relaxed.

Wang Xin was not convinced when he saw that everyone was making fun of him, and said: "What's ridiculous, I don't believe that you people who have families don't hide their private money." ”

As soon as these words came out, some of the ministers stopped laughing, but no one felt embarrassed or embarrassed in the conversation, and the atmosphere was like a group of drunk men chatting.

Then there were a number of ministers who told the lies they had told, but most of them were not important lies. Everyone enjoyed this kind of relaxed pilgrimage.

Only Liu Duan was uneasy in his heart, and he was silent all the time, but he smiled from time to time.

"It seems that everyone has lied, but lying is not a good thing after all, and I hope that Zhuqing will say less in the future. Prudence in words and deeds is the way to do things. Liu Heng concluded.

"Remember the Word." The ministers replied in unison.

Everyone thought that they were going to retreat from the dynasty at this point, but Liu Heng said again: "There is another kind of lie that cannot be said......

When the people saw that he had become serious, they stood and listened.

"That's bullying!" Liu Heng continued.

"The ministers don't dare." The ministers bowed their heads and said respectfully.

Liu Heng looked around at everyone, "Don't dare? Maybe!! Remember, if people don't know what they don't know, as long as it's a lie, someone will find out one day! ”

"Ministers remember ......"

Finally retreated, and the ministers walked out of the front hall and gathered together in twos and threes, talking about what Liu Heng meant by what he said just now.

Do you think they lie too much, or warn them to tell less lies, or that someone is cheating the king.

Wang Xin was puzzled and came to ask Prime Minister Zhang Cang, and some ministers also gathered around Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang said: "The old man doesn't know, don't speculate, maybe you'll find out tomorrow." ”

Everyone nodded, only to see Liu Duan hurrying away.
