Chapter 121: Murder for Money
Han Chuang frowned, and was about to speak, but he heard a reminder next to him, "Rhyme!" β
βHi manοΌ Whaβ¦β¦ what's upοΌ β
The little eunuch was stunned, what happened to General Han today, why did he scold people as soon as they met?
I had no choice but to bow to Wen Chen, "Your Royal Highness, the group of entourages you brought killed people, and His Royal Highness led troops to get people, but they didn't hand over the murderer, and the two groups of people were about to fight!" β
Wen Chen's heart sank, and he secretly said that it was not good, this second brother seems to have to get the field back on himself!
For the guard camp led by Dao Jiu, their style of acting, Wen Chen knows better than anyone else, when they fell into Qingcheng, they were all about to starve to death, and when they were forced to rob the road, they didn't kill innocents indiscriminately, how could they take people's lives casually now?
Even if there is, it can only mean that the other party should be damned, and it is definitely not a problem with the protection camp!
Han Chuang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Take me over to have a look, well......, I'm going to give them a sentence!" β
Wen Chen shook his head helplessly, "Wait until I go back to the house to get something." β
After a few moments, he walked out with a three-foot-long cloth bag.
On the street at the entrance of the Feiyun Inn, a large circle of silver-armored troops was densely surrounded, all holding swords in their hands, staring at a group of fierce men in the encirclement with unkind faces!
There were two corpses in the open space next to them, the wound on the neck was deeply sunk, it looked like a knife was killed, the skin was torn off, and the two round eyes were staring at the sky, and the death was like a tragic and terrifying death!
The two women lay on the corpse and wept and beat their chests.
"My family official went out for a while last night, and he was brutally murdered by thieves, it's really a hard life......"
"Master, you just left like this, how should the concubine, orphan and widow live?!"
"Woo woo woo ......"
The bearded Wen Yue had a serious expression, and said loudly to the onlookers, "Fellow villagers, please rest assured, I, Wen Yue, as a prince, will never let go of any bandit who kills people's lives, and now I will arrest them and bring them to justice, and after finding out the truth, I will behead the villains on the street and give you an explanation!" β
The people looked at the corpse that they couldn't bear to look at directly, and their cries were deafening, and the people were angry for a while.
"Kill them!"
"Second Highness must be the master for us!"
Dao Jiu's eyes were indifferent, and he protected his brothers behind him.
Tu Sanqian's face was angry, "Big boss, this is really not Lao Tzu's doing, Lao Tzu ...... last night"
"No need to explain, I trust you."
If he wasn't afraid of causing trouble for Wen Chen, Dao Jiu was confident that he would definitely be able to lead a group of brothers out of the encirclement, so why would he listen to the other party's useless slanderous words?
"Second brother, what do you mean by this?"
A question suddenly came from the back of the crowd.
When Wen Yue heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, finally here!
Turning his head slightly, he saw Wen Chen coming to him expressionlessly, looking at him coldly, followed by General Feng'en Han Chuang.
Wen Yue pretended to be surprised, "What kind of wind blew the third brother here?" β
Then he loudly introduced to the surrounding people, "This is the son of my father who has been exiled for many years, that is, the third brother of this prince - Wen Chen!" β
Wen Chen raised his hand and sneered, "Second brother, don't ask knowingly, let's hurry up and tell what's going on." β
The bearded man's face was displeased, and he pointed to the short man behind Dao Jiu on the opposite side and said, "This guy deceived two foreign businessmen into the inn last night, made money and killed him, and was witnessed by the innkeeper who was hiding in the room, and went to the yamen to report the case this morning, the second brother and I happened to be there, so naturally I can't sit idly by, so bring someone to arrest the murderer, it's as simple as that!" β
"Returning to the Third Highness, this is the murder weapon used by that man to commit murder!"
A silverarmoured soldier handed a ruler-long dagger and a piece of blood-covered clothing in both hands.
Wen Chen's eyes were slightly cold, he didn't look at the murder weapon, stared at the bearded man and asked, "Second brother won't know that they are my people, right?" β
Wen Yue raised his eyebrows and deliberately raised his voice, "Third brother, what are these words?" Even if they are your people, can they kill innocents indiscriminately and take people's lives at will? β
"Aren't you smearing your father's face! With so many people here today, do you want your second brother to go through the back door for you? β
When the surrounding people heard this, they became even more angry.
"The prince can condone his subordinates to kill people? We are not convinced! β
"The prince has governed Jingzhou for many years, and he has always been iron-faced and selfless, when has this kind of thing happened?!"
"Second Highness, you can't bend the law for personal gain and ruin the reputation of the prince!"
Wen Yue raised his hand, "Don't worry, today's matter, this prince will definitely give a satisfactory explanation to the people of Lincheng!" β
"No matter who the murderer is, I will never let it go, if I find out that someone deliberately instructed his subordinates to seek money and kill him, even if this person is the brother of this prince, I will never let him go!"
As he spoke, he looked at Wen Chen with ill will.
Hillbilly, fight me?
What my father values most is the people's heart, and now the people of Lincheng are on my side, and the human and material evidence is conclusive, see how you quibble!
Wen Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the slightly chubby middle-aged man standing behind the bearded man.
"You're the shopkeeper? Come out and speak! β
The fat man's body trembled, and he stepped forward in small steps, "The villain has a lot of money, and I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" β
was still waiting for Wen Chen to ask, and the shopkeeper confided out the words he had prepared in advance.
"When the villain was last night, he felt an urgency to urinate in his sleep, so he went out to relieve himself, but he didn't expect to see the man downstairs having a quarrel with the two deceased."
"The man said that he was short of money recently, and wanted to borrow two money from them to spend money, but the two refused, so they were brutally murdered, and the villain saw with his own eyes that the man used this sharp blade to cut the throat of the deceased, and then dragged him into the backyard and hid in the bushes!"
Wen Chen nodded and waved his hand towards the door of the inn, "Tu Sanqian, come here!" β
The man answered, and stepped forward in a puff.
"Did you kill these two?" Wen Chen asked.
"Naturally not, Lao Tzu was busy with business last night, how can he have spare time to kill!"
"Who can prove it?" Wen Chen glanced at Dao Jiu and the others.
"The shopkeeper, no one has proved it!" Tu Sanqian's expression was inexplicably a little flustered, and he hurriedly blocked Wen Chen's sight, "Lao Tzu didn't kill it, he didn't kill it, what else do you need to prove?" β
"Third brother, that's how you tried the case?" Wen Yue sneered, "Which murderer will take the initiative to confess his crime, if you try it like this, you won't be able to ask why in the next life!" β
"Come on, take down the felon, go back and interrogate it properly!"
"No!"
The two silver-armored soldiers stepped forward to clasp Tu Sanqian's shoulders.
Wen Chen's face changed, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but he heard a timid voice from behind Dao Jiu.
"I ...... I can prove that Brother Tu didn't kill anyone last night, and he was with me all night......"
Wen Chen was stunned for a moment, and looked back, why did this voice sound so familiar?
But I saw a thin and thin figure squeezed out from behind Dao Jiu, with a fair face, delicate facial features, but two mustaches stuck to his lips, and he was dressed no different from the man next to him.
The corners of Wen Chen's mouth twitched, and he slapped Tu Sanqian on the back of the head, "You can just step on the horse and walk by yourself, and you still kidnap my technician?!" β
The person who stood up was Tu Sanqian, who thought about it day and night when he was in Qingcheng, and offered his hospitality every day!
Along the way, Wen Chen didn't find that there was a woman in the team, no wonder Tu Sanqian has been so peaceful recently!
The man scratched his head in embarrassment, "Aoyagi, she volunteered to ......"
