Chapter 61: Earth Movement

When the child was approaching, Director Fang was still working overtime in the Criminal Department.

In addition to the extraordinarily large cases of fraud in the imperial examinations and the rape and murder cases in Anming Lane, there are also nearly 100 cases of all sizes, which need to be checked by him in the past few days.

As Hongwen's three-year-old Jinke Jinshi, most of the same batch are still working in local counties, but he has been promoted to the head of the criminal department of the sixth grade in just three years, and I have to say that the future is bright.

Among them, there is Shangguan's support, and more of it is his own efforts.

In the words of Master Chu, the squire of the Criminal Department of his direct prefect, said: Xiao Fang is very spiritual and is a good seedling to be an official!

This case of fraud in the imperial examination is the evidence he found through multiple investigations.

The rape and murder case in Anming Lane not long ago was also an autopsy conducted by him and his wife.

stayed up late and squatted on duty, followed the vine to find melons, and arrested the suspect Guo Bei according to the traces and confessions.

In both cases, the evidence was conclusive, and the prisoners also confessed their crimes.

It's just that there is one thing that makes people suspicious, while they admit their crimes, they also invariably say that everything is instigated by Princess Wuxuan.

And today, Princess Wuxuan declared that Huo Xiang, the king of Wuxuan, was the mastermind behind everything, and Lord Fan, the criminal division, really put King Wuxuan into the prison.

Not only that, Director Fang also knew a secret that others didn't know, and at this time, General Zhenguo was also sitting in the prison.

The general of Zhenguo is the pillar of Great Qin, the brother of the old Qin Emperor, and the first master of Great Qin, and the strong man at the peak of the grandmaster.

Although he disagrees with Huo Xiang's politics, but he has not reached the point of being an old enemy, Huo Xiang is in prison, he probably will not visit, and he will not fall into the ground.

From this point of view, at the sensitive moment when Huo Xiang was imprisoned in the prison, General Zhenguo's move must have been instructed by the Holy Lord.

What exactly does the Holy One want to do?

What are you looking out for?

The case of fraud in the imperial examination should be the handiwork of the Xinjin side in the northwest, otherwise no one would be able to command Cao Liqing, the big Buddha, let alone make him willing to commit suicide.

Does the Holy One know the inside story of this? If you know, why would you indulge in these events?

The rape and murder case in Anming Lane seems to have nothing to do with the imperial examination fraud case, but the murderer Guo Bei insisted that it was instigated by Princess Wuxuan, but the two cases were linked together.

But what is the purpose of this?

Huang Shaolan is just an ordinary woman from a family, although she is the concubine of the imperial doctor, and she also had an affair with Guo Xiang's concubine, and the death of one corpse and two lives is really miserable, but aside from these, this is just an ordinary homicide.

In Guo Bei's confession, he said that he was persecuted by Princess Wuxuan, so he squatted at the door of the imperial doctor day and night.

It happened that Huang Shaolan went out that night, allowing him to seize the opportunity.

He took advantage of the groom's inattention to knock the groom unconscious, tied it to the back of the carriage, and then pretended to be a groom and returned to the car, first strangled Huang Shaolan's maid to death, and then raped Huang Shaolan first and then killed him, and then gave the unconscious groom a fatal blow, and finally threw the three of them into the ditch of Anming Lane until they were found two days later.

But Director Fang, as a senior case-handling officer, knew that there were many doubts in this.

Guo Bei claimed that he had no accomplices, but how could he, an ordinary person with no martial arts, do such a big case alone, kill three people in a row, and brave the heavy rain to throw corpses.

Princess Wuxuan has many guards in the mansion, wouldn't it be safer to send someone with martial arts to do it.

Why did Huang Shaolan go by car in the middle of the night when the curfew had been curfew, and she went to the sparsely populated Anming Lane, who was the person she wanted to meet?

But these are difficult to check, because the rain that night was so heavy that it washed away the traces, and it is really impossible to determine where the first crime scene is.

All the insiders except Guo Bei have died.

If you want the Imperial Doctor and Princess Xuan to be hostile, it is unreasonable.

Because the imperial doctor was originally at odds with Princess Xuan, it didn't make much sense to put the pot of Huang Shaolan's death on Princess Xuan's back.

What's more, in addition to fraud, they could not find evidence related to Princess Xuan herself and these two cases.

The slander and bending that Master Fan planned before was a move by the saint? Or is it the fault of some people? Or maybe it's just a lazy government to close the case as soon as possible?

Is it Guo Xiang? Is it Fan-sama? Is it Gao Tingwei? Is it the general of Zhenguo?

There is also the possibility of his boss Lord Chu and Xinjin in the far northwest.

Director Fang can only be sure that he is not involved in this matter, and in addition, it is possible for the DPRK and China to be large and small, or it is the result of multi-party wrestling.

It was a big brain, and Master Fang took a deep breath, feeling that he needed a little spiritual comfort.

He quietly looked around and pulled out a handwritten book from his bosom.

"The saint is impermanent, and he takes the heart of the people as his heart."

"A pure heart is the root cause, and the straight way is a strategy."

This is a few sentences on the first page of the "Ke Gong Case", Ke Gong is a famous minister in the world, he is selfless, wise and decisive, and dares to provoke the people to apply for grievances, known as "Ke Qingtian" and "Ke Gong".

After the collapse of the Wei State, the old Qin Emperor personally visited Ke Gong's residence, but unfortunately Ke Gong had already traveled far away with his family and did not know where to go.

Since then, there has been no news of Ke Gong, and there is only a beautifully compiled "Ke Gong Case", several autopsy records, and a few poems of Ke Gong.

After reciting these famous sayings and aphorisms of Ke Gong repeatedly, the inspired Fang Principal felt that he was alive again, and he could read a few more cases.

Ke Gong is his role model and his idol, giving him endless motivation.

Anyway, he is a six-grade petty official, just do his own thing.

Let the case be investigated, and as for whether the leaders above agree with it or not, it is not up to him to decide.

Director Fang spread out a booklet again, which said that the scholar of Guozijian reported that the dine-in steward had withheld supplies and gave them shoddy vegetables and leaves.

And so on, whether it's big or small, the principal of the case has seen not a hundred but eighty.

He thought for a moment, raised his pen and annotated it above, to the effect that this matter should not be handled by the Criminal Department, and should be handed over to the Guozi Prison Counseling Office for trial.

After writing it, he stamped the official seal of his boss Master Chu, and a set of them skillfully made people feel distressed.

"Boom!"

There was a violent shaking, and the official seal held a long red seal, staining a large piece of the booklet.

But Director Fang didn't have time to take care of these things, so he hurriedly ran outside with the shaking.

"The ground is moving!"

"The ground is moving!"

Director Fang shouted and ran, ran to the empty field of the compound of the Criminal Department, and colleagues who were working late at night like him rushed from all directions, and their eyes were all palpitating.

"What's wrong with Shangjing? For the first time in thousands of years. ”

"Alas, this source seems to be close to the suburbs of Beijing, I wonder what happened to the people over there?"

"It's an eventful autumn, the flood in the south has just subsided, and there is a fight in the north, and now there is a ground movement in Shangjing, is there something big going on."

"Shhhhh

The officials whispered anxiously, and waited for about a quarter of an hour before the violent roar faded away.

After another half of the tea time, there seemed to be no abnormal sound, and several officials looked at the already deep night, planning to leave work and go back to appease the next family.

At this moment, a small servant hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stay!"

Followed by the servant was a group of black-armored forbidden soldiers, led by a commander with a saber.

He pushed the little servant aside, glanced around, and shouted:

"No one is allowed to move, it wasn't the ground that moved just now, but the black powder buried by the thieves, which blew up the prison!"

"The whole city is under martial law, and Lord Shangshu has been summoned to the palace to meet Your Majesty, so you should wait for the news here."
