Noon.

Inside the six doors.

The first god arrester, Guo Zifei, stared at the case in a daze, and on the stack of "Zheng's Husband Beating Case", there were three new stacks of blank files.

"It's over!"

The three new cases are:

"The Case of the Death Wall of the Fortune of the Rich Tea House";

"Wanli Salt Yungou Fugui Poisoning Case";

"The Case of the Assassination of Zhang Wushuang in the Tibetan Soldier Casting Pavilion";

Three people died.

Duan Cai, the owner of the Fugui Teahouse, used to be the richest man in the imperial city, but since the rise of the Zheng family, he is currently the second richest. The family is also involved in money villages, cloth industry, wine shops, paper ties, and land transportation. In the middle of the night, he was beaten to death at home.

Gou Fugui, the boss of Wanli Salt Transport, when his concubine shook wildly on Gou Boss, Gou Boss suddenly foamed at the mouth and died, at first he thought it was a stroke, and then he did an urgent autopsy, suspected of poisoning.

Zhang Wushuang, the owner of the Tibetan Soldier Casting Pavilion, is the largest supplier of weapons for the forbidden army of Shenwutang, almost monopolizes the private iron business in the north, and has close ties with the official railway, because the Zheng family has not set foot in this area, Zhang Wushuang can be said to be the king of weapons in the imperial city. On the same night, he was stabbed to death at home, with a small bloody hole in his throat.

The three murders seem to be unrelated, and the causes of death are different.

But if it happened at the same time period, it would be a bit too coincidental.

Guo Zifei, as the first god arrester in the imperial city, and the rich experience and intuition accumulated from years of investigation told him that this matter had another inside story, and it was not as simple as an ordinary murder case.

This is very likely to be beyond the scope of his mere super god catcher.

thereupon

He reluctantly packed three stacks of blank files and ordered someone to send them to the Criminal Department for the decision to be made.

At this time, Guo Zifei breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his shoulders were a little lighter.

……

In the imperial city overnight, three bloody cases shocked the whole city.

The word of mouth among the people is becoming more and more exaggerated and bizarre.

How many years have there been no such bloody cases in the Imperial City.

On weekdays, the six doors deal with small cases such as beatings, troubles, robberies, and adultery.

Soon.

The Ministry of Punishment issued an order that the people were forbidden to spread the word of mouth, and if they were discovered, they would be severely beaten with 60 rods.

Suddenly, among the people, they didn't dare to say anything, even after tea and dinner.

Intrauterine.

A handsome young man was dressed in gold and silver, with a hidden anger in his eyes, lying on a luxurious soft collapse.

In front of him, there are a variety of fruit plates and delicate pastries.

Around him, all kinds of women were in different postures, with cardigans and half-exposed breasts, with bewitching postures and charming expressions.

"What? All dead? Absurd! ”

When the young man learned of the bloody case of Duan Cai, Gou Fugui, and Zhang Wushuang, he angrily pushed away the beautiful girl around him.

Zhou Ji, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has black hair and is in the prime of life. As soon as he received the file handed over by Guo Zifei, he secretly ignored the rules, and immediately ignored the rules, and entered the palace Chinese Lin Yuan to check the information on the pretext of investigating the case, and by the way, he went around in circles and secretly came to see His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

The secretary of the criminal department is in a high position, and he has internal responses, and it is not difficult to issue documents to himself.

Looking at the irrepressible ferocity in the eyes of the second prince, Zhou Ji couldn't help but shiver, immediately knelt down, lowered his head, and continued to report.

"Bastard! What about their industry? ”

"According to the rules, if they have no children under their knees, the property will be sealed and filled into the treasury."

The second prince's face darkened.

"In addition, there is one thing, although it is not a big matter, but His Highness may be interested."

"Say."

The second prince sat back in the soft collapse, kneading the warm and fragrant meat beside him fiercely, and his movements were rough, which made the women feel painful, but they didn't dare to say more, but they still forced a smile and took the initiative to meet them.

"There is news from the household department that the Zheng family's tax evasion case has been raised."

"Eyebrows? What's the eyebrow? He Zheng Loyal Martyr wants to collect money, how can he use such a trivial trick as tax concealment? Hmph, however, the people don't need to know this, you order someone to release the rumor that the Zheng family's tax collection is huge, and the palace needs three days, and the whole world must know about it. Once it is confirmed, it will be difficult for the loyal martyr to protect himself. Even if that Shi Wentong is dead, there is still a backhand on my side of the household, and if the person surnamed Ke is not interested, he will still favor my good royal brother...... Hehe. ”

"The ...... of the palace" Zhou Ji opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when the second prince waved his hand again and interrupted him.

The second prince said: "Even if Duan Cai, Gou Fugui, and Zhang Wushuang die, as long as the household side can succeed, the palace has its own clever plan, and it can be used to absorb the Zheng family's property at a low price, even if my royal brother and brother find out, I can't help it!" ”

"Tell Your Highness ......"

"As the so-called soldiers are fast, you can suppress these three murders for the time being, and don't let the household department seize the three industries! Even if you don't have to check, it must be my scheming royal brother who did it! ”

The second prince waved his hand impatiently, and the soldiers were very fast.

Now that the emperor is critically ill, if there is no accident, the next emperor will fall into the hands of one of the three princes. Now is the time to stand, and the earlier you stand, the more you end up getting.

Although the second prince has a violent temper, he is ruthless and can be called a hero.

In contrast, the eldest prince looks forward to doing things, and the third prince is submissive, so Zhou Ji stands on the side of the second prince.

He admits that he has an element of gambling.

So Zhou Ji stiffened his head and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, the minister is brave, there is something to report." ”

The second prince's eyes narrowed: "Say!" ”

"This matter is about the Zheng family, the matter of the loyal martyr marquis hiding taxes, and it may be slightly different from His Royal Highness's clever calculations."

The second prince opened his eyes.

Zhou Ji's expression was a little more strange: "The household department thoroughly checked the Zheng family's account book, and finally found ...... Zheng did have tax evasion. ”

"What?" The second prince's eyes lit up, and his breathing stagnated: "How much is hidden?" Could it be, is there really 50 million? ”

"Not fifty million." Zhou Ji stretched out his five fingers and said helplessly: "It's 50,000, just 50,000 taels." According to the law, he was to be punished with fifty thousand dollars in taxes, thirty rods, and to be imprisoned pending trial. This loyal martyr, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out for a while! ”

Second Prince: "??? ”

……

Dizi No. 1 Prison Camp.

Inside the Alpha Prison.

"Master Zheng, this... Not okay? ”

Scar Lao Liu was holding an arm-thick stick, raised high, and was about to fall.

The household department first handed over the ironclad evidence of Zheng Xiu's "tax evasion of 50,000 taels" to the criminal department, and a herald came to the criminal department.

After all, this is an ironclad crime, and the six departments are all staring at it, and they can't do it if they don't fight.

When the herald of the Criminal Department came, when he saw the layout of the prison, he was so angry that his beard trembled wildly, but as soon as he remembered Zheng Xiu's identity, he knew it in his heart, and called him a bastard, saying that he was going to send people from other prison camps to whip him.

When Scar Lao Liu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "This is Lao Tzu's territory, you let others fight?" Didn't you take my scar in your eyes? ”

"Hmph, little prison errand, ridiculous! Who do you think you are? ”

The sixth brother smiled coldly: "Hey~ easy to say!" My sixth scar is a distant cousin of Concubine Zhen in the palace! Dear distant relatives! In that sentence, blood is thicker than anything! Hmph, to put it mildly, my scar sixth can be regarded as half of the emperor's relatives! If you are bold enough, you can send someone to the palace to ask how many times Concubine Zhen's sign has been turned over this month! ”

The herald suddenly stopped talking and squeezed out a smile: "...... Then there is Lao Liuye, you do it yourself. ”
