Chapter 7: The Murderer (Part II)
In the dim room, the smell of dampness was not good, and the servant who was trapped in the iron chain saluted Yang Guang, and what was surprising was that he performed a military salute.
"You, a soldier?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, his subordinates served as soldiers, my father was a slave in Dugu Mansion in his early years, fortunately, the master's family can afford to order me to be a soldier, I went to the battlefield in the rebellion of Wei Chi Hui, and later served as a guard in the imperial city after being trusted by Queen Dugu."
The information reported by himself was very simple, but as soon as he heard this, Yang Guang understood the big story this time.
In his early years, his father was a domestic slave in Dugu Mansion, and later became a soldier and became an imperial city guard because of Queen Dugu's recommendation, how could a person who could be an imperial city guard be willing to be a servant of the Guogong Mansion, seeing that he had all his hands and feet, it didn't look like he had nowhere to go after being injured.
He suddenly remembered Queen Dugu, who ordered him to investigate the case in the palace before, and the queen mother who was on the throne may have something to do with this matter.
And the person in front of him seems to have a full plan to tell him, and he didn't say a word about this news in the previous interrogation.
"Wait."
Yang Guang interrupted him, thinking deeply about what the situation was now, it seemed that all the things he had guessed before had to be overturned, if this matter had his mother behind him, it would have nothing to do with love and vendetta or anything, this was a premeditated assassination.
Yang Guang didn't know the motive for the time being, and when he thought back to the second saint arranging for himself to investigate this matter, he suddenly understood.
yes, how can you let others know about this kind of thing?
Yang Guang's eyes were like falcons looking at Bai Lun in front of him, and he asked with a complicated mind.
"You're a murderer?"
"It's me, Your Highness."
very bluntly recognized the name of the murderer.
Long breath of relief: "How to kill someone?" ”
"I am another group of child servants, but because one of these people has just passed away due to illness, because I am not bad, I temporarily filled the position for a period of time before finding someone to fill the position, so I followed Shu Guogong to the inn before, and knew the place where he and Mrs. Liang Guang had a tryst, and this time I hid in the cabinet in the room in advance."
"But I didn't expect that it was not only Liang Guang's wife who came this time, but also another woman, it was too difficult for me to kill three people in a short period of time, and I originally chose to hide under the bed, thinking of taking advantage of Shu Guogong's joy in the water, but I didn't expect Shu Guogong to go to bed but sat in the distance and watched the two women dance lingeringly, I really didn't expect it."
Yang Guang listened to his words and understood that although he followed Shu Guogong to know the location of the tryst, he didn't follow it for a long time, and he didn't know that occasionally they didn't have a two-person tryst but a three-person tryst, and Shu Guogong didn't need a bed.
With common sense, there is no problem with the assassination plan he chooses, if Shu Guogong is an ordinary person, when the two of them are entangled in the bed, he can be killed with one blow when he suddenly appears with his skills, and he can't even make a sound.
But Shu Guogong is not an ordinary person.
"Shu Guogong's position is too far away from my position, if I want to force my move, the other party will definitely be able to react, but I have no choice, I miss a chance, maybe there will be no next time."
"I waited for three quarters of an hour, a full three quarters of an hour, didn't you see what they did, I saw that scene, I can't describe it now, Shu Guogong was naked and twisted and shaking......"
Yang Guang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop his words, and smiled bitterly: "There is no need to repeat this kind of detail, you just know it yourself." ”
Bai Lun, who was a little excited just now, stabilized his mentality: "I waited for three quarters of an hour and didn't find a chance, and Shu Guogong seemed to be tired of it, I was afraid that I couldn't find a chance, so I could only fight, I have been in Shu Guogong's Mansion for a long time, and I know that his personality is extremely timid, and he is easy to get dizzy when he is nervous, so he can only find a chance that I think is the best to attack blatantly." ”
"His mind is on the two women, he didn't notice me at first, but after all, the distance is too far, it is impossible for me to be a big living person not to be noticed, I stabbed Shu Guogong as fast as possible, but I didn't expect that Liang Guang's wife actually rushed out to block the knife for Shu Guogong, I really didn't expect that the two of them were disgusting to play, but the love was stronger than Jin."
Speaking of this, Bai Lun couldn't help but have a trace of admiration for Liang Guang's wife in his heart, at least it proved that she was sincere to Shu Guogong, of course, for the bitter master Liang Guang himself, this is green on green, green is black, and green is shiny.
Bai Lun continued: "I missed a blow, I wanted to continue to shoot, but I didn't expect Shu Guogong to stop me, I thought he was a timid scholar, but he should be a survival instinct at this time, grabbed my hand for a while and didn't succeed, fortunately, Shu Guogong was still sick and unconscious, but the servants also rushed to the door, I had to give up, fortunately, I was mixed in the servants, and the other prostitute didn't recognize me." ”
After listening to this, Yang Guang said: "The process can be said to be round, but it is unreasonable, since you have long been ambushed in the room, why not arrange the incense first, it is not more convenient and simple to do it after you are stunned." ”
"The smell of the incense is big, there are servants outside, and as soon as it spreads, it smells it, and the servants will definitely rush in when they smell the fragrance, which is not in line with my purpose."
Yang Guang frowned: "Purpose? What purpose? ”
"I originally intended to fake the murder scene, and faked it as a martyrdom between the two parties because of emotional entanglements, so that no one could find out."
"Why pretend to be like this?"
Bai Lun looked at Yang Guang and was silent for a while before he said: "Shu Guogong is idle at home, often discussing the government and politics, drinking with friends many times, and offering an evil Bodhisattva from the Western Regions in the house, cursing the two saints every day, which is a great crime of disrespect. ”
"What's the gaffe?"
"Your Majesty's throne was only obtained by him and Zheng Yi's recommendation, Your Majesty just got a big bargain, but now it is a rabbit and a dead dog, he and Zheng Yi are in mourning, and they are at home."
Talking about the emperor in private, yes.
But if you find out, you can't.
Yang Guang had already roughly understood who was behind Bai Lun, and also understood the purpose of killing Shu Guogong.
"Who sent you the hand?"
"Your Highness still doesn't understand?"
"You say it yourself."
"The subordinates are ordered by the queen."
No wonder this guy has been fearless since he came in for interrogation, he is not worried about the exposure of the fact that he is the murderer, he is doing things for the second saint, and he has confidence, as for whether he has left a back hand, Yang Guang does not know, it is useless to ask, people always have to leave some means in order to save their lives.
Yang Guang now finally fully understands why his father and queen mother specially arranged for him to investigate this case, this matter must not be investigated by others, once the matter involved in the East Window incident, the royal reputation will be too damaging.
As for Liu Fang, he can only say that his luck is really good, there is a woman blocking the knife for him, and his life is still a fluke.
It is normal for a meritorious man like Liu Fang to be dissatisfied without being taken seriously, and there have been many such people and things in all dynasties.
What Yang Jian is doing now, if he is left to the historian to write it, it is likely that the new emperor will ascend the throne and harm the old ministers.
The famous Liu Bang in history did this, Zhu Yuanzhang did it, and other emperors did it more or less, but no matter what the reason for the historians and scholars was, he would only say that you killed the old ministers and were ungrateful.
Human nature is complex, and people at different times may change from your ally to a sworn enemy, from a good person to a bad person, and it is never possible to generalize.
Liu Fang has changed from Yang Jian's help to a bomb that may detonate at any time, he is dissatisfied with Yang Jian's arrangement for him, Yang Jian also understands that Liu Fang and Zheng Yi do not regard him as the object of real loyalty, and it is impossible for Yang Jian to reuse such a person.
The two of them may have kept their hands behind to prevent Yang Jian from unloading and killing the donkey, so Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo actually arranged their own eyeliner in the house of the two, if there is a good and reasonable way to let him die, it is undoubtedly the best choice.
Bai Lun's choice this time is actually right, the wife of Shu Guo's public and private officials, the two killed each other because of love entanglements, such a conclusion is too embarrassing, no matter which side will not make a big deal about it, the matter will be over, and simply solve an unstable factor.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, it is Liu Fang's life that should not be extinguished, and after this incident, Liu Fang must be more cautious and difficult to find another opportunity.
"After this incident, how did the queen mother arrange for you?"
"Shang Wei was arrested and put in prison, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother should have been afraid of being exposed, so they didn't send anyone to contact me, but when I saw His Royal Highness the King of Jin presiding over the trial, I understood that His Royal Highness should be the two people sent to talk to me, just looking at His Highness's situation, His Highness should not have known before."
"I will verify what you say, as for what happens next, you are in prison, don't say a word of superfluous words."
"You'll be given a separate cell, so you stay first."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Yang Guang walked out of the room with a gloomy face, and Yu Qing waited outside.
"Your Highness, what's the situation?"
"He's not a murderer, he's just responsible for contacting another line, he's been interrogated once, and the retrial has no effect, it's been three days before and after, I'll go to the palace first to report the current situation."
"Your Highness has worked hard."
Yu Qing saw Yang Guang go to the imperial city, but he felt that it was extremely easy to follow Yang Guang to do things, and he didn't need to do many things, even including interrogation, but he understood this matter from the beginning, why the two saints wanted to send King Jin to take charge, that is, there were some things that he didn't want others to know.
There are some things that you should not inquire about.
Yang Guang came to the gate of the imperial city, worried and did not enter the palace, he looked at the tall palace wall, and his thoughts were very complicated.
Now the case has actually been sorted out, but it is even more troublesome when it is clear.
Who will bear the name of this murderer?
