Chapter 149: Intent
As soon as Shen Nian returned to Dali Temple, the sky had already darkened, and Qiu Cheng was obviously relieved when he saw him: "My lord, there is news that Master Fu has resigned and will return to his hometown in the near future." ”
"Fast, isn't it?" Shen Nianyi sneered, this holy decree is really a bit ridiculous and generous, officials with a little experience know that Fu Renzhai's home is in Tiandu, his parents died back then, if it weren't for the help of others, the family business would have already fallen into the hands of those relatives, where would such a person go to return home.
However, no one in the Manchu Dynasty would raise objections, even if someone would whisper that the sudden resignation of Fu University Scholar was unusual, it would not last long, and soon someone else would have to replace that official position and become the next University Scholar, and the cycle continued until the name Fu Renzhai was completely forgotten.
"Lord Fang Cai is not here, I have already sent someone over to take a look, the mansion of Master Fu is actually empty, and he walks neatly and neatly, I think I have been preparing for a few days." Qiu Cheng scratched the back of his head and asked puzzledly, "Are you in such a hurry, are you afraid that the emperor will regret it and want to take back your life?" ”
"Once you leave the heavenly capital, there will never be a person like Fu Daxue again." Shen Nian said in a deep voice, Fu Renzhai is waiting for a good opportunity to leave completely, as long as he is caught and clenched, where will there be a possibility of a hundred secrets, and when the emperor reacts, it will be too late for any fight.
"He can really afford to take it and put it down, it is said that he only took away some fine softness, and most of the household belongings are placed in the house intact, and the house was personally rewarded by the emperor ten years ago." Qiu Cheng said in surprise, "And Scholar Fu has always been honest as an official, and there are not many people who can take it away." ”
Shen Nian walked straight inside, Qiu Chengcai was shocked to realize that he had said too much, and hurriedly stopped his mouth and followed behind, not daring to say another word.
"Xiao Tang, how is the autopsy?" Shen Nianyi found Tang Churou and asked.
"This man is indeed a man in the army, with the marks of riding a horse all year round on his legs, and he has a good physical foundation, and is good at using guns and sticks." Tang Churou had already turned over the corpse and checked it out, "It's just that he was hit in the throat and couldn't make a sound, I don't know why he had to smear so much blood on the wall." ”
"There must be some clue that we want to leave behind, and we can't find it." Shen Nian raised his eyebrows, "Is there the whereabouts of that golden head order?" ”
"If you go back to your lordship, there is no news coming back, which means that after the murderer took it, he did not make a move." Qiu Cheng replied cautiously, "The news has been conveyed, as long as someone sees this thing, they will definitely take action in time." ”
"Golden head order, golden head order ......" Shen Nianyi repeated in a low voice several times, the golden head order is a token of General Ningxia Sheng who guards the border pass, seeing the order is like seeing the general himself, it is not very time, it is rarely used, as far as he knows, the golden head order has always been used in the army, this person with such an important thing, he didn't even leave his name, and died in Dali Temple without a head.
This news was seized very well, and few people knew about it, otherwise if it was spread, he was worried that it would cause some unstable factors, especially on the emperor's side, Shuntian's ten-year plan fell through, wait a minute, Shuntian, Shuntian!
Shen Nianyi's eyes were shining, if the person who killed He Qihu was sent by Shuntian, then it was very likely that the person who killed this person was also sent by Shuntian, but this person was too good at lurking, and he had been silent in Dali Temple, only waiting for the most critical time before he succeeded in one fell swoop.
"The Golden Head Order may no longer be in the Heavenly Capital, eight hundred miles are urgent, and I will immediately give General Ning a message, so that he can eliminate all the effects of the Golden Head Order, and it will be more safe to invalidate them all, go quickly!" Shen Nian said urgently, without further ado, I hope it's still too late.
Qiu Cheng didn't ask in detail, and hurriedly followed his instructions to do it, but Tang Churou was beside him, and he didn't understand it very well: "What do you mean by the adult, the person who seized the Golden Head Order didn't have the intention of Tiandu?" ”
"We don't know much about the affairs of the army, we only know that the Golden Head Order is a token of General Ning, and it's really hard to say how useful it can be."
The Golden Head Order is guarded by General Ning personally on weekdays, except for the important people in the army who can enter his general's big tent, others don't even have a chance to take a look, but there must be people who are eyeing it, so they want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to assassinate the messenger in the Dali Temple, and then seize the Golden Head Order.
This series of plans is so appropriate that even Shen Nianyi has to admire, Fu Renzhai has set a ten-year plan, and there are definitely not a few shadows that Shun Tian has planted in Tiandu.
The two countries have been at war for many years, and they have damaged each other, if the border pass is not guarded by General Ningda, then what will become of the situation on the battlefield, it is really difficult to say, but one day it can be determined, the Celestial Empire will inevitably be greatly injured, and it will not be like a time many years ago, the border pass territory will shrink inward for hundreds of miles, and those people who have been living in the border pass have all fallen into the hands of Shuntian, not only the people are not happy, it has almost become a human purgatory.
From the emperor all the way down, until the people who have no direct contact, no matter who they are, they don't want to see such a tragic scene again.
Why didn't he think about it earlier, he only thought that the man would have to make waves in the city after taking the golden head, but he didn't think about it at all.
"Then, if it's too late......" Tang Churou probably thought of something similar, and couldn't help but shudder, "My lord, this messenger has been dead for two days. ”
"Yes, I've been dead for two days." Shen Nianyi's voice was still very calm, so that the people around him would be reassured, "If Jin Touling is taken out, then the murderer will definitely remain in Dali Temple." ”
"That means the murderer is more than just one person." Tang Churou was terrified when she thought about it, it didn't matter if there was one thief, there were actually accomplices.
Shen Nian nodded a little, there is indeed more than one, the murderer will never dare to leave the Dali Temple, and the one who can kill people silently under his nose, this line is not easy to pave, and he naturally wants to keep it without giving up, so the golden head order must be passed on and given to others, two days is not too long, eight hundred miles of urgent military report, not everyone can do it, and the call of the golden head order has to wait for the right time, he hopes that he will not be late.
"My lord, the thief must be investigated!" Tang Churou almost gritted her teeth and said, she has always had a soft temperament, but this time the incident touched her bottom line.
"The thief is also waiting for news." Shen Nianyi sneered, "Soon, the fox's tail will be revealed." He whispered a few words in Xiao Tang's ear.
Tang Churou's eyes widened suddenly, and then she nodded again and again: "My lord, I just hope that it is not my acquaintance." ”
"I think so, too." Shen Nianyi nodded with certainty, "Maybe it's just the most inconspicuous person." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I did it?" Tang Churou asked softly.
Shen Nianyi's gaze coldly crossed her shoulder, looking at the door of the morgue behind her: "If I suspect you, everyone lying behind that door will protest." ”
Tang Churou playfully stuck out the tip of her tongue: "Since the good things between my lord and Miss Sun are approaching, I actually laughed at us." ”
"Isn't what I'm telling the truth?" As soon as Shen Nian heard this, he didn't know why, he was actually very comfortable in his heart, these people in Dali Temple had followed him for many years, although Sun Shining came late, and he was not a fellow believer, when he participated, he didn't feel out of place at all, and he seemed to be born to get along with them.
It seems simple, but it is actually very difficult, those officials in the court, who does not say that the group of people in Dali Temple, are all extremely difficult to get along with, and even the people in the criminal department avoid them.
"Miss Sun's injuries are better?" Tang Churou also knew that Sun Shining had suffered a lot in order to help solve the case, but she didn't complain in person, let alone pestering adults, such a good character can be regarded as commendable.
"With Dr. Zheng's assurance, I believe in his medical skills." When Shen Nianyi talked about Zheng Ronghe, he glanced at Tang Churou intentionally or unintentionally.
Tang Churou hurriedly found an excuse, saying that she had to go back to the victim's house to see the details and clues, and left as if she had fled.
Shen Nianyi smiled and shook his head, Xiao Tang really said that it was good to do anything, as long as Zheng Ronghe was not involved, but a temperament that could not be swallowed could scare a bold woman facing a room of dead corpses into the corner, and it was also a thing arranged by God.
The smile quickly retracted, and Shen Nianyi felt that it was necessary to see someone again, if it was just his illusion, then it would naturally be better.
When I arrived at the inn, a familiar junior came up: "Lord Shen, but you are looking for the proprietress?" ”
"yes, what, she's not here?"
"Yes, yes, it's just that she went back to Lord Shen's side, and when she came back, she was sick, and she was not lightly ill, and she burned so much that the whole person was confused, if Lord Shen didn't have anything urgent, she would come over to talk another day?"
"Since you're sick, can you ask the doctor to come and have a look?"
"I've seen it, and I drink medicine a few times a day." Xiao Er's eyes flickered, "But it's not good." ”
Shen Nianyi would never let go of any detail, and when he grasped it, he understood three points in his heart: "Take me to see her, if it doesn't work, I'll find another doctor for her." ”
"Lord Shen, she is a woman, she is sick and haggard, and she really doesn't want to see anyone." Xiao Er seemed to be afraid that Shen Nianyi would insist, so he sighed heavily and said, "Lord Shen, although I found a little girl to serve, but the proprietress is lying all day long, untidy, it is always inappropriate to meet like this, your old man said that it is like this?" ”
Shen Nianyi was not angry or smiling, one hand was pushed away at Xiao Er's shoulder, obviously he didn't spend much effort, but the person stumbled and fell backwards, it was really verbose, he wanted to see someone, even the emperor might not be able to stop him, and with such inferior means, he wanted to cover it up.
