Chapter 42: Mistakes
Outside the door, a little turtle boy crawled in, and said to Lingyu with a panicked expression:
"Girl, send the guests away, there is a murder in front!"
Lingyu's eyes flashed, "Who died?" β
"I don't know the identity, but the little one secretly glanced at it, it's an old man who doesn't take a handle!"
Lingyu's mind was stunned, although eighty percent of the people who died were Wei Cheng, but how did this little turtle man see that the eunuch didn't bring a handle?
Jin Dong also had this question, only to see that his face was pale, and he said coldly, "Didn't the dead person have any clothes?" How can you see so clearly! β
"Not wearing it!"
The little turtle man sighed and said, "Not only did the deceased not wear it, but Ma Gongzi also didn't wear clothes!" β
Horse...... Ma Gongzi?!
At this time, even Wen Chen couldn't sit still, and hurriedly asked, "The young man Ma you are talking about, is it Ma Ruyi, the nephew of the local Taishou?" β
"Back to Gongzi Wen, it's him!"
When Jin Dong heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Lead the way, take me over to have a look!" β
Wen Chen and Lingyu hurriedly followed.
At this time, Wanhualou was surrounded by a large number of officers and soldiers.
"Stop! This place has been sealed off by the government, and idlers are not allowed to enter! β
Jin Dong had a dark face and slapped the official who stopped in front of him, "It's been so many days, I still can't remember the appearance of this official, get out!" β
Only then did the official see that the person who came was the Shangshu who went in and out of the county government every day to check the files.
hurriedly saluted and apologized, "The villain is rude, please come in!" β
Wen and Chen were also able to enter the scene of the crime logically.
Behind the railing on the second floor of Wanhua Building, at this time, there were prostitutes standing in unclothed clothes, looking at the corpses covered with white cloth on the round platform on the first floor with horrified expressions, and there were still faint traces of blood flowing under the corpses.
The entrances and exits were all blocked by officers and soldiers.
At the door, Ma Ruyi was wrapped in a sheet and was lying on the barrel vomiting.
There was also Ma Qingshan, who looked serious, standing beside him.
Jin Dong first walked through the crowd, checked the body, and after confirming that it was Wei Cheng, he walked straight to Ma Qingshan's uncle and nephew.
"What's going on?"
Ma Qingshan looked embarrassed, stopped talking, and sighed vigorously.
How do you say that?
Your student, my nephew, took off his pants and killed the third-in-command of the eunuchs in the kiln?
Ma Ruyi, who heard the voice, suddenly raised his head, and unexpectedly found that Jin Dong was still followed by Wen Chen and Lingyu, and then knelt on the ground with a plop, hugging Jin Dong's thigh and crying bitterly.
"Teacher......, the student is wronged!"
"It's all them! They were instructed by Father-in-law Wei to plot ......"
"Shut up!" Jin Dong hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth and looked around cautiously.
Ma Ruyi is also confused, can this kind of infighting in the court be put on the bright side?
"Ma Taishou, first bring the idle people back to the yamen."
"Yes! Lord Kim! β
While agreeing, he didn't forget to lean over and whisper, "Lord Jin, Ruyi is your proud protΓ©gΓ©, you can save him this time......
Jin Dong let out a long sigh and did not reply.
When the surroundings quieted down, Jin Dong squatted down and patted the fat man on the shoulder, "Say it." β
"Teacher, it's all them!"
Ma Ruyi's face flushed and pointed at Wen Chen and the others and complained, "They teamed up with Gonggong Wei to harm you!" β
"When the student went out, he accidentally bumped into Father-in-law Wei, and overheard him talking with his subordinates about assassinating the teacher, the student was worried about your safety, and wanted to hurry up to report the news, but was discovered by Father-in-law Wei's eagle dog and forcibly took him to the spring house on the third floor......"
"And then?"
"Gonggong Wei tried to buy the students, but the students would rather die!" Ma Ruyi said impassionedly, but his expression immediately dimmed, "I didn't expect Wei Cheng to secretly covet the student's beauty, and secretly put an aphrodisiac in the meal, and the student didn't hold it for a while, and he ......"
"Wait......" Jin Dong raised his hand in confusion, "You said Wei Cheng coveted you...... Good looks? β
When Ma Ruyi heard that he didn't believe it, he hurriedly argued, "Although the student is a little fatter, he can't stand the foundation, you should understand his mood at that time!" β
Jin Dong sneered, I really can't understand......
"Then how did Wei Cheng die in the end?"
When Ma Ruyi heard this, a terrifying memory came to his heart again, and he couldn't help but lie on the barrel and vomit again.
It took a while to regain calm.
"The students were worried about the teacher's safety, and they hated Wei Cheng even more, and when the anger was unsettled, the teacher's past teachings were still in their ears, so they avenged the teacher in their own way!" Ma Ruyi is a serious way.
Wen Chenqiang, who knew the truth about this matter on the side, couldn't help but smile, Lao Tzu didn't believe that you would think of Jin Dong's teachings when you did that, eighty percent of your kid had already taken refuge in Wei Cheng, and when he was talking about wine, he accidentally fell for it!
But now that there are people who are willing to serve as witnesses and take the blame for themselves, why not?
So he took a step forward and bowed to Ma Fatzi, "Ma Gongzi is benevolent!" β
"Ma Gongzi is as evil as hatred, eliminating harm for the teacher, abandoning the ego to protect the overall situation, such a fearless spirit and courage, let the admirer of the five bodies fall to the ground!"
Alas......
It's just that Jin Dong's overall situation has been preserved, but Wei Cheng's Daju has not been saved......
Even Wen Chen, who was the culprit, didn't expect that Wei Cheng would die so badly in the end.
Seeing Wen Chen agree, Ma Ruyi stood up with a loud voice, pointed to his nose and complained, "It's all you guys who want to murder the teacher!" β
"Come on, arrest these two for me!"
"Wait!" Jin Dong got up and pressed his arm, sighed and said softly, "Ruyi, Wen Gongzi and Lingyu have already notified the assassination of the teacher in advance, and they are also forced to be helpless, and they abandon the darkness in time, and they can't blame the two of them for this matter." β
"What?" Ma Ruyi's expression froze, and he thought about Wei Cheng, the old eunuch, for a long time, and the people under his hands all rebelled? !
What is it to take the offense you have just suffered?
"Teacher, you can't just listen to their side of this matter, you must investigate it clearly!"
"Ruyi rest assured, the teacher will give you an explanation."
Jin Dong glanced at Ma Qingshan, who was not far away, "Ma Taishou, don't publicize this in advance, everything will go according to normal procedures, and now settle down and go back to rest." β
Ma Qingshan's face was happy, it seemed that Jin Dong still remembered the master-apprentice relationship, and did not intend to embarrass his nephew.
"Yes, my lord, the next official will do it!"
Seeing the two away, Jin Dong squinted his eyes and glanced at Wen Chen.
"Did you do this?"
Lingyu's shoulders trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Wen Chen said with the same face as always, "Lord Jin can't slander Xia, although Zai Xia has the same heart as Ma Gongzi, he has a pure heart to eliminate harm for the people, but at the time of the crime, Zai Xia has been following Lord Jin, and there is sufficient alibi evidence!" β
"It's the same with little girls......"
Lingyu timidly echoed.
On the side, Wen Chen measured the head slightly and sighed secretly.
It was this sentence that made Jin Dong realize that something was wrong, and Lingyu was too anxious to leave himself out......
However, Jin Dong didn't seem to have the intention of delving too deeply, just coldly dropped the sentence "It's good to do it yourself", and then threw his sleeves and left.
After that, the government seized Wanhualou overnight, because Ma Ruyi had admitted that Wei Cheng's death was done by him alone, and the drugging was also done by the old eunuch himself, so Ma Qingshan did not embarrass the girls too much, but just took them back and locked them up overnight, and then released them again.
It's a pity that just because of the appearance of stockings, the smash hit Wanhualou was ordered not to open, and the womanizers in Qingcheng also lost their inner comfort harbor.
