Yu Qing didn't understand why Yang Guang wanted to interrogate this person alone, and he was a little worried, but he didn't say anything, and only told Yang Guang to be careful.

The room, damp and dim, was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, the old wooden floor cracked many cracks, revealing the signs of age, the plaster on the walls had faded, only pale remnants remained, a dim candle hanging precariously in the center of the room, and the nearly extinguished flame cast a faltering shadow.

An old wooden table is torn and cracked, with several chain locks fastened to the corners of the table, and a man is chained behind it, restricting his space to move.

Not far in front of him, Yang Guang took a stool and sat down, staring at the man in front of him, looking carefully.

Yang Guang didn't bring Yu Qingze with him during this interrogation, and after confirming that the person was tied up, he didn't even bring his most trusted Wang Yi, and he really came to interrogate alone.

It was an ordinary-looking man, not tall and mighty, and he even looked a little thin, habitually hunching his back slightly, showing his humility in front of the big guys.

"What's your name?"

"The little Zhuang Jun is a servant of the Duke of Shu's mansion."

"In your confession, you said that Shu Guogong and the wife of Yu Guogong also had an adulterous affair, but is it true?"

The servant looked up at Yang Guang, and there was hesitation in his eyes that were not bright, and he said instead: "The little one is telling the truth. ”

"Only you know why."

"Because the small is Shu Guogong's contact, Shu Guogong is very careful about this matter, the servants at home are divided into two groups, he takes a group of servants when he meets with the Duchess of Yuguo, and a group of servants when he meets other people, so it is difficult for both sides to fully know each other's situation, because Guogong thinks that I am young and my brain is flexible, so he asks me to be the contact, and whenever he wants to see the Duchess of Yuguo, he orders me to go to [Yang Chunlou] to find a girl to pass the word and set a time."

"Where is Yang Chunlou?"

"In another inn, the Duke of Guo also has a long-term fixed room here, and he has a tryst with the Duchess of Yu Guo here, and there are always three or four times a month."

Yang Guang sighed that this Shu Guogong is really cautious and bold, this method is more difficult to catch even in modern times when there is surveillance, and how can this guy like a wife as much as possible.

Is it really human nature to like other people's wives?

After turning his mind around, he asked, "Why is it that only you know, there should be a lot of servants in your group?" ”

"Because the prince is more careful in this matter, we all stay outside when we arrive at the inn, and we don't know who the person he has a tryst with inside, but because I am the contact person, I know some inside information."

Yang Guang fell into deep thought, although this servant gave a strong news, but this news was still of limited help to the progress of the case, and the servant team he was in did not involve the side of the case, and there was very little useful information.

Yang Guang condensed his eyebrows and pondered, the scene of the crime was clearly in the inn, and the process was clear and shallow, and the girl's confession was basically the whole process of the crime, but the murder weapon was hidden with the murderer, why did the murderer suddenly appear in the room, and the most important thing was what was the motive?

Modern cases will analyze the motive for killing, except for perverted homicide, in fact, the most important thing in a case is the motive, without the motive there is no case.

Robbery for wealth, vendetta to vent anger, love to kill and revenge, these are the main reasons.

This case obviously does not conform to the concept of robbery and seeking wealth, vendetta and love murder are possible, as a high-level noble, Shu Guogong's enemies must be more than one or two, and there will be no fewer who want to kill him, but in the imperial city, it is still in Shu Guogong's own secret, the difficulty and probability are not small.

The probability of love killing may be greater, after all, Shu Guogong is not authentic, this case involves the wives of two officials in the court, one of whom is still the wife of the Duchess of Guo, so who knows if the others were cuckolded by him?

This kind of thing is a big taboo, and others are not allowed to fight with you?

Yang Guang didn't think that the murderer appeared suddenly, he should be very familiar with Shu Guogong's situation, and he had already hidden in that room.

According to shallow words, it may be one of Shu Guogong's servants.

Yang Guang suddenly thought of a possibility, so he asked the servant: "Do you know who among your servants has a wife, and whether it has anything to do with Shu Guogong?" ”

Zhuang Jun shook his head firmly: "Your Highness, even if we can marry a daughter-in-law, we are all village girls or old maids who are not wanted by the master's family. ”

"Don't tell anyone else about today's affairs, and the affairs of the Duchess of Yunguo are also kept secret, don't reveal half a cent if anyone asks, and I will blame you for any rumors of this matter."

"The little ones get it."

Yang Guang walked out of the room and interrogated, there was still not much useful information, only a bunch of bloody things.

found Yu Qing and said: "Yu Shangshu is not early today, this king will go back to the house first, you let people interrogate the other servants except this servant, one by one, interrogated individually, the direction of the interrogation is who were the servants who went to the inn with Shu Guogong that day, and whether there was a sudden addition." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"If there is a suspect in the trial, I will stop the interrogation and wait until tomorrow when I come and interrogate myself."

Yu Qing didn't understand why Yang Guang wanted to interrogate him alone, but he could withdraw from these messy things, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he responded in one bite.

According to the shallow confession, if you can find the sudden extra servant, even if the secret murderer is caught, this kind of case with eyewitnesses is not very difficult, if it is not too shallow and panicked, and does not remember the appearance of the other party, maybe you can recognize it at a glance and close the case.

……

Yang Guang dragged his tired body back home.

But it was Xiao Menglan's hesitant eyes that greeted him just when he went home.

was happy at home and eating melons with good sisters, but suddenly ate it on her husband's head, no matter who it is, can this be good?

Yang Guang himself instructed Xiao Menglan to have a good communication with the noble ladies in the capital, and Xiao Menglan also tried her best to do it, but at noon today, the noble lady suddenly came and shouted that it was not good, and the news that King Jin bravely broke into the Qinglou and jumped into the water to save the prostitute came in, and Xiao Menglan was calm, and she couldn't hold back.

Yang Guang also knew that he had to go through this matter, and the little couple retreated and sat down in the room, the lights were burning.

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Xiao Menglan said, "Your Highness is busy today, let's rest early." ”

"Don't you ask me what happened today?"

"Your Highness doesn't say it, if I ask, I'm afraid of upsetting Your Highness."

took Xiao Menglan's hand and said, "Is this jealous?" ”

"I'm not jealous, but no matter whose husband this kind of thing happens, I have to explain a few words."

Yang Guang told Xiao Menglan about today's events from beginning to end, including his going to Yunya Pavilion to find someone and hijacking Nanxi.

finally sighed and said: "The Nanxi girl was caught and held hostage in order to protect me from scuffling with the woman called Qianqian, and may even encounter accidents. ”

Xiao Menglan looked at Yang Guang with eyes like torches, and Yang Guang could see the questioning look in her eyes.

"That Nanxi girl has seen it in the auction hall before, knows the accident, understands human feelings, and walks among the dignitaries and nobles, although today's appearance proves her innocence, but Your Highness, such women are not allowed to enter the house, otherwise the queen mother will not like it."

Xiao Menglan's face was resolute, and what she remembered now was Yunluo's matter.

There is Yunluo's experience in the past, for these women outside, you have to carry hundreds of hearts and eyes to guard, Queen Dugu taught her the best way is to prevent trouble, this Nanxi girl is a lovely person and knows how to please men, just in terms of appearance, Nanxi girl is slightly better than Yunluo, if compared to the means of thought, maybe this Nanxi girl is better than Yunluo.

It is definitely a scourge for herself to keep such a person, but she is not to the extent that she says that she will kill people at every turn, so she can only use the name of Queen Dugu to warn Yang Guang.

"Menglan, don't worry, I can carry it."

Xiao Menglan is actually still angry in her heart, but her personality determines that she doesn't like to make trouble.

Can you carry it clearly, do you dive into the water to save people by yourself? Heroes save beauty, are the guards around them all eating dry food? She could clearly perceive that Yang Guang was a little thoughtful about this Nanxi girl, maybe not much, but definitely a little, after all, that woman was indeed good-looking, and charming, how many men could bear it if she really threw herself into her arms?

……

Early the next morning, Yang Guang had to set off to investigate the case again.

As soon as he arrived at the Jingzhao Mansion, Yu Qingze greeted him and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the murderer has been found." ”

"Oh? Is it so fast? ”

"It is true that according to the direction of His Highness, the interrogation resulted, although the servants of the Shuguo Mansion were flustered at the time, but now they have calmed down and interrogated and said that there was a different group of servants who appeared at that time, because the Guogong was attacked, they were busy saving people first, and no one paid attention at that time, and the person was temporarily transferred to this group for a few days before, and no one reacted at first."

Things seem to have come from the original, and after the mystery and mystery have been peeled off, it has become simpler.

Yang Guang was very curious about the reason why the other party wanted to assassinate Shu Guogong, and even said: "Just like yesterday, I will interrogate it alone." ”

"It's ready, Your Highness."

Yang Guang paid special attention to the murderer, and after letting his guards inspect the entire place, he surrounded him tightly and walked into it by himself.

The same chain as yesterday, the same table, but with a different person.

The person in front of him is not much different from the servant yesterday, and if I want to say it, the whole person is more refined.

After Yang Guang closed the door, he asked, "What's your name?" ”

The person in front of him saluted respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness, little Bai Lun, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

Yang Guang looked at him in surprise, because he was good.

Great Sui military salute.
