Volume 5 Jiangnan 480 Temple Chapter 478 Tuiguan Wu Tieyi (II)
A few bloody clothes, a few axes and saws, and weapons were placed on the table.
Wu Tieyi picked them up one by one and looked at them carefully, then he looked at Cao Xudong on his side, and another of his right-hand men, Xu Ge, who caught the head: "What do you think?" ”
"These things were taken out by the humble hand from the wall next to the gate in the northwest corner of Hanshan Temple, and there is indeed a dark hole where these objects can be hidden, and the dark hole does seem to have existed for some years." Cao Xudong replied truthfully.
Xu Ge also added: "There are also these clothes, tools, weapons and other things, which look like they are often used on weekdays, not like they are specially used to plant stolen goods." ”
"So, you think this clue is indeed credible?" Wu Tieyi rubbed his hand at the edge of the axe, and the gaps on it were a little prickly.
"Yes, especially that dark hole, it is impossible for Sun Ning and a few others who have only arrived in Suzhou for the first time to arrange or find it. Only I, a native of Suzhou, who is close to Hanshan Temple, and even a monk in Hanshan Temple, have the opportunity to open such a hidden hiding hole in the wall. ”
Cao Xudong's statement was also recognized by Xu Ge, and he then mentioned again: "The Su family is the great Tanyue protector of Hanshan Temple, and the courtyard where they retreat in the temple is also close to the northwest corner......
"This is far from being called evidence, and it is not even a clue that can point to the Su family. You and I just talk about it in private, in front of others, don't mention it indiscriminately. Wu Tieyi suddenly frowned, glanced at Xu Ge and said in a deep voice.
He knew very well why Xu Ge said this, because he had prejudices against the Su family.
In the past two years, as the power of the Hao clan in Jiangnan has expanded more and more, and the power of the government has continued to shrink, some of the gentlemen in various families have become increasingly arrogant, and they have done a lot of things to bully men and women.
In Suzhou City, the three eldest and youngest members of the Su family are even more notorious, and there have even been cases of killing each other's husbands on the street in order to occupy a certain woman.
At that time, it was Xu Ge who came forward to handle the case, but he was not caught, but he was almost trapped in the Su family and couldn't get out.
Thanks to Wu Tieyi in the end, he personally came forward and used both soft and hard measures to save the head catcher, but the previous murder case had to be resolved.
As a result, Xu Ge is grateful to Wu Tieyi, but he gritted his teeth at the Su family, and has been looking for an opportunity to bring them to justice. And isn't such a shocking case a great opportunity right now?
Seeing that Xu Ge still didn't think so, Wu Tieyi said seriously: "It is indeed a fact that the Su family has committed many injustices, but this matter is very important, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, otherwise it will only let the real murderer go unpunished and make it difficult for the deceased to look at him." ”
These words made Xu Ge and the others both of them stunned, and hurriedly saluted: "I understand my humble position!" ”
"These things alone are naturally not enough to determine the murderer, but one thing is certain, that is, the team of soldiers guarding the northwest corner gate at that time is the real internal response. Can anyone find it? ”
Faced with Wu Tieyi's inquiry, Cao Xudong immediately replied: "My lord, I have carefully checked the records at that time, and the people on duty at the northwest corner gate at that time were five people from the Fengzi Battalion's Guizi Brigade, the Third Outpost, and the Fifth Army. Their commander, named Zhang Lei......"
Wu Tieyi was still very satisfied with Cao Xudong's accurate answer, and immediately nodded in approval.
But then, his brows furrowed slightly: "Fengzi Battalion? Wasn't the soldiers and horses of the Dingzi Battalion stationed in Hanshan Temple stationed in Hanshan Temple that day? ”
The Suzhou official army now has a total of five battalions, namely Feng, Ding, Yun, Xiao, and San, plus one battalion of the garrison, a total of 30,000.
This soldier and horse in the south of the Yangtze River is already a lot, at least Hangzhou only has three battalions, and Jinling, which is more important, only has six battalions and one garrison, with less than 50,000 troops.
Wu Tieyi, as the central figure of the Wu family and an official of the state government, naturally knew everything about this, and as soon as he heard the report, he quickly saw the problem.
"Lord Hui, at that time, there were two brigades of soldiers and horses in the Dingzi Battalion who happened to accept other errands, so I changed it slightly and let the two brigades of the Fengzi Battalion replace them."
"And then it was such a coincidence, but it was at the northwest corner gate that changed people that someone took advantage of the loophole!" Wu Tieyi sneered.
If there were only five or six points of doubt about this clue before, now this doubt is about to come to eight or nine points!
If one is a coincidence, and two or three occur at the same time, then it can only be explained that someone is manipulating the control.
After a while, he asked again, "Has anyone found it?" ”
"My brother is still looking for him. In the past two days, there was no training in the army, and most of the soldiers and horses of the battalions were released. ”
In addition to the garrison in northern Xinjiang, the officers and soldiers in other places can only be regarded as semi-professional, except for several drills a month and military orders, the soldiers in the army are generally not much different from ordinary people.
As the saying goes, in wartime, for the soldiers, always for the people. After all, in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is impossible to always have a big mess, so the soldiers and horses naturally do not need to train diligently, and they have to come up with more money to support.
"Find them as soon as possible, if there are not enough people, I will arrange them." Wu Tieyi said, and said, "Remember, we must use our own people, and we must not leak the news, especially the people of the Su family......"
"I understand that the few people under my command who are close to the Su family have not let them interfere in this matter."
"Hmm, Xu Ge......"
"Humble duty."
"You let your credible brothers also keep an eye on Chunfeng Lou, if what Sun Ning said is true, the case of killing Wang Er and them may also be able to find some clues."
Wu Tieyi's arrangement made Xu Ge's spirit even more lifted, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and agreed.
He knew that when he gave these orders one by one, he actually regarded the Su family as the real murderer behind this case. The next step is to find out the real evidence and flaws, and then tell them to the public.
His wish for several years was finally coming true, and he was naturally very excited and energetic, and after receiving the order, he was already in a hurry.
Seeing this colleague leave, Cao Xudong looked at Wu Tieyi again, and said worriedly: "My lord, will you bring unexpected trouble to you and the Wu family by doing this?" ”
"Hehe......" Wu Tieyi smiled calmly, and then slowly exhaled, "Since I was a teenager, I have wanted to judge the case and prison, return the truth and justice, and let those who commit crimes be punished by the law!"
"But over the years, after all, because of family reasons, I have sometimes reversed black and white to confuse right and wrong, which I often regret. But this time, hundreds of innocent people are already involved, if I can't handle the case for them fairly and arrest the culprit, how can I still have the face to wear this official uniform?
"You just have to let it go, and I'll take care of the rest!"
