Chapter 259: The Imperial Guard with a Sword
Found in the morning by the servants of the dead.
Hearing screams and noises, Di Ying went over there.
The courtyard where the deceased lived was also quite large, with two empty carriages parked in the courtyard, and boxes of goods piled up in the courtyard and on both sides, leaving only a passage more than one meter wide in the middle.
The wings on both sides of the courtyard seem to be inhabited by servants who carry goods. Now the men were all shut out, and they were looking nervously into the courtyard, all of them looking very nervous.
In front of the courtyard gate, a man who looked like a steward was blocking them.
Obviously: this man knows how to protect the scene of the accident.
Di Ying also stood at the back of the crowd and looked into the courtyard.
This is not under his jurisdiction, and he cannot overstep his bounds.
However, before waiting for the government to come, Di Ying simply walked around the courtyard first.
No suspicious traces were found.
He glanced at Peng Liang.
Peng Liang avoided the crowd around the main gate of the courtyard and quietly swept up the roof of the main house from behind.
It came down a little later.
He whispered in the adult's ear, "The murderer should have entered the deceased's side bedroom from above." The roof tiles show signs of being turned. However, there were no footprints, they were all wiped away.
The side bedroom was not messy and there was no sign of rummaging through things.
The deceased had a pair of scissors in his chest, and the part of the grip and the mark on it were ...... And state specialty.
There were no signs of a fight in the house, and the expression on the deceased's face should have been nothing but pain. He may have been asleep when he died.
It's just that there is one thing that is very strange: there are a few dried apricot blossoms on the body of the deceased. ”
After listening to this, Di Ying's face sank.
What Peng Liang found out, Di Ying's first feeling was: The murderer came for himself!
His hometown, Jinyang, is most famous for scissors.
Di Ying's grandfather and father are all good scissors.
Moreover, apricot blossoms are also one of the famous scenic features of the state.
It may not be unusual for the scissors of the state to be sold all over the country and appear here, but with the addition of apricot blossoms or dried apricot blossoms, this must be related.
Di Ying doesn't believe in coincidences.
His instincts told him: the kidnappers had appeared.
But the kidnappers didn't intend to hand over the man obediently, but killed an innocent person and left a message in this way, just to test whether he had arrived at it.
Or rather: the kidnappers are not willing to hand over people like this.
The people of the rivers and lakes want to be famous, if they just hear that Master Di has arrived, and hand them over unscathed, they will be regarded as cowards and jokes.
But it's a little scary not to hand over.
That's why it's like this.
After Di Ying figured it out, the fire in her heart jumped up.
He thought that the other party was not necessarily a Jianghu person, and he also thought that the other party might receive the news that he was coming, and would throw flying knives, arrows, etc. to bargain with him.
It may even be possible to make a direct request.
But I just didn't expect that the other party would verify and embarrass him by killing innocent people!
Di Ying was angry.
Be angry at yourself for your carelessness.
He should have thought that a person with no bottom line who could kidnap Zheng Xiaoqiang's family and approach Zheng Xiaoqiang's replacement would not be able to do things in a measured manner!
Is this afraid of him Di Ying?
This is clearly a provocation!!
It was he who overestimated the weight of his reputation!
What he originally thought was that once he knew that he was coming, the people would definitely provide clues to the kidnappers.
In this respect, the people are better than any scout.
But the kidnappers responded in this way, and Di Ying hit him hard.
Di Ying felt that her stomach hurt a little.
At this moment, the official arrived.
Di Ying leaned against the wall and motioned for Peng Liang to go and negotiate.
Peng Liang noticed that the adult's face and body didn't seem to be quite right, and looked at the adult worriedly. As soon as I wanted to ask, I received an order from an adult.
I had to turn around and block the officials before they entered the courtyard.
As soon as the head of the state division saw that someone dared to block his way, his eyes immediately widened, and the knife with the sheath in his left hand was raised, and his right hand was pushed over with a palm.
There was a voice in his mouth: "Get out of the way!" ”
Peng Liang frowned, and a trace of impatience flashed in his starry eyes. I raised my hand and wanted to touch it in my arms.
Behold......
The head catcher saw that he pushed down, but he didn't push the person away, and when he was puzzled, he saw the other party's manual again.
Immediately took a big step back, pulled out the knife from its sheath, the tip of the knife went directly to his throat, and shouted: "Obstruct the government's case, and still want to commit murder with weapons, and take down the head of Ben!" ”
The yacha immediately came up hula-la-la, their blades unsheathed, and their mouths also shouted: "Hold your head and lie down, lie down and lie down!" If you dare to act again, beware of your life! ”
Unexpectedly, the words were shouted out, but I saw that the people who were surrounded were still touching their hands in their arms, and they didn't even give them a superfluous look.
This can make the headcatcher angry.
He swung his knife and slashed at the opponent's hand, which was still moving.
This knife and head catcher are shot with hatred, and they feel that they have the momentum of thunder, and they are bound to unload the opponent's hand, along with the entire arm.
"Bang!"
Flew upside down in an instant.
He also knocked down two yacha by the way.
The four-legged head catcher, how did he not understand how he flew out.
He obviously didn't see any movement from the other party, why, why was he sent flying instead.
It was only then that the feeling of abdominal pain came.
The head catcher made an "ouch" sound, and instantly curled up in pain. I don't know where the previous power has gone.
And the two yacha who were pressed by him were even more miserable, "humming and chirping" and couldn't move.
It felt like the sternum was going to be broken.
The rest of the officials did not see the man make a move, but they saw the misery of their own people. Suddenly, they were so frightened that they all took a few steps back.
But the loser doesn't lose.
In his mouth, he shouted: "What a fierce thief! If you kill someone and don't run away, you still dare to beat the official here, and you are stubborn.
Tell you, this is the boundary of Wenzhou City, I advise you to put down your weapons and surrender obediently. If you dare to resist again, you will die without a place to be buried. ”
Peng Liang glanced at them, moved the foot that had just kicked someone, took out the identity token in his arms, held it in the palm of his hand, and lit it up towards them.
"Is this called a murder weapon?"
He asked mockingly.
Then straighten the body, solemnize the voice, and use internal force to reveal the sound.
"I am Peng Liang, a guard with a knife in front of the emperor and a third-grade guard. This case has been handed over to Lord Di Yingdi for disposal, if you want to forcibly obstruct it, you will not be spared! ”
The reason why Peng Liang put himself in front of adults is because he has the highest status now. Although the adult's reputation is high, his identity is only a county order of Pengze County, Jiangzhou.
It is a taboo in officialdom to interfere in other people's cases beyond the jurisdiction of the identity of foreign states and county magistrates. And I can't get involved.
Even if it is the history of Jiangzhou, when he comes to the boundary of Wenzhou, he can only be a guest, and he cannot meddle in anything in the host's house.
Want to get involved? Okay, you have to discuss with Wenzhou's assassination history and ask for the other party's consent, support and cooperation.
Otherwise, stay where it's cool.
But the guards with swords in front of the emperor are different.
Such an identity means that they are His Majesty's personal guards, which shows that the official does not worship and does not let the king meet. Compared with Jin Wuwei and Yu Linwei, they are all higher.
Even if they are actually protecting others, nominally, they are the most trusted people of His Majesty.
Think about it: you can carry a knife in front of Your Majesty.
Such a person, even if he beheads someone in front of the temple, has the right.
For example, when they are in charge of defense, they can immediately draw their swords and slash anyone who is suspicious of their words or actions in the main hall.
It is not even necessary to apply, and it will not be pursued afterwards.
In other places: even if it is a first-class official, a national prince, a prince, etc., as long as they feel that there is a suspicious person, they can immediately drag it down for strict interrogation.
Although you can't dispose of someone secretly, it's still easy to ask the other party to take off a few layers of skin.
And will not be held accountable!
So there are only thirteen people with such an identity.
There are three around Di Ying: Peng Liang, who is in the third grade, Nie Bo and Fang Bin who are in the third grade.
The remaining ten are all by His Majesty's side. And they have been following His Majesty for many years, and it is easy for no one to see them. And Liu Liu said at that time that he was a guard with a knife, but in fact, he borrowed Peng Liang's name to scare people. Anyway, no one dared to test whether he was real or fake.
