Chapter 1616: Cooperate with the investigation
That night, Luo Chong personally went to the house of Hubu Shangshu and took his second son into his own small universe.
There is an island on a planet in the small universe, there are no large beasts on the island, but all kinds of food are quite abundant, this second son has more or less practiced martial arts, and his survival ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and Luo Chong also left him some living utensils such as axes, firewood knives, bows and arrows, fishing nets, etc., maybe after three or five years, he can be put back to the original world.
It's just that by then, the Jin Dynasty is likely to have ceased to exist, and his father can't be a household secretary.
It is estimated that his disappearance will not be confirmed until a few days later, and in the first two or three days, the family will just look everywhere, and all kinds of conjectures cannot be determined as a missing case.
Sure enough, the next few days were relatively peaceful, during which only Wang Zhuoqing, the right attendant of the military department, privately approached Luo Chong once, and slightly revealed: Your request for merit, the emperor deliberately pressed it and did not approve it, and it was estimated that he wanted to see your next table, after all, the threat of the Qingyuan cavalry to the capital has not been lifted.
It means that if the Qingyuan cavalry really came to the capital, regardless of whether it was a siege or a deterrent, as long as Luo Chong could have a better appearance, all the credit could be accumulated together and rewarded at once. In that case, there will be no problem with the official position of the Sanpin general.
Of course, Luo Chong's attitude doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how big an official is, he just treats the capital of the Jin Dynasty as a playground.
On the morning of this day, Shuntianfu sent someone to say that the prefect Wang had asked General Luo to go and that there was a very important missing case that needed Luo Chong's cooperation in the investigation.
There is no doubt that the disappearance of the second son of the household department Shangshu has already been suspected of Luo Chong.
This is normal, don't treat others as fools, those who are specifically responsible for investigating cases do this kind of thing all day long, the key is to see whether they take it seriously.
When they encounter a real big case, their brains are very good.
In fact, it is not difficult to suspect that the second prince has just been appointed by the emperor to marry, and he has the hope of becoming the eldest princess's concubine, and then he disappeared.
The eldest princess resisted marriage three times and twice, everyone in the court knew that there was still Queen Yu protecting her in the past, and she could perfunctory it if she found an understanding, but now it doesn't work, the emperor will not continue to accommodate her, the holy decree, if you don't want to, you have to be willing, and the same is true for your own daughter.
Princess Yongning has no other way, so there is only one way left: let the prospective horse disappear from the head office, the groom is gone, how can she get married?
Although Princess Yongning doesn't have the ability to do it herself, she can instruct others to do it, for example, Luo Dong, who escorted her back to the capital safely not long ago.
Luo Dong, this person, who had defeated the Qingyuan Kingdom's grandmaster-level figure Chain Mountain on Xifeng Lake a few days ago, did have this ability in terms of martial arts cultivation......
Extrapolating from this, it is not surprising that Luo Chong is suspected, but there is no evidence for the time being. Of course, with Luo Chong's unbelievable special ability, it is impossible for mortals in this world to find any effective evidence.
"Suncheonfu?"
Luo Chong does not intend to resist, it is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen to cooperate with the investigation, just go.
The prefect of Suncheonfu is equivalent to the mayor of the capital of the country of the earth world, and the grade is the third grade, which is a whole level higher than the ordinary prefect.
Luo Chong is still only a fourth-grade official, and he is only a local official, so of course Shuntianfu can still be moved.
Luo Chong only took the White Tiger guards and a few personal soldiers and went, but when they arrived at the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, they could only wait outside, and Luo Chong himself was also asked: Please ask the general to unload his blades.
The meeting place is not in the yamen lobby, even if it is not allowed to be formally interrogated, but in the side hall, the prefect Wang is also accompanied by the general judgment and the official, these two are responsible for investigating the case, and there is also a middle-aged man who is not wearing an official uniform, after introduction, I learned that he is the younger brother of the household department Shangshu, who has almost lived in Shuntian Mansion these days, and has been paying attention to the progress of the case all the time.
The meeting etiquette in the officialdom is no longer verbose, and after sitting down, I don't say a few inconsequential opening remarks, and go straight to the main topic behind.
"General Luo, the second son of the household Shangshu Yuan's family was missing in the night five days ago, do you know about this matter?"
When the prefect Wang interrogated, several of them were carefully paying attention to the changes in Luo Chong's demeanor, and if there was a trace of abnormality, it would increase his suspicion.
"I don't know. ”
Luo Chong's expression was indifferent: "I don't even know this person, what does his matter have to do with me?"
"The question now is ......"
Governor Wang lowered his voice and strengthened his momentum in a deep tone: "Someone has seen that you appeared near Lord Yuan's mansion that night. This question needs to be explained by General Luo. ”
Bluffing?
As the so-called thief has a weak heart, if you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will have a little doubt: Is my whereabouts really insightful and seen by some witness?
Luo Chong would not have this kind of worry, unless, that witness was also a chaos powerhouse.
"Lord Wang, don't come with me. ”
Luo Chong deliberately showed a certain amount of annoyance: "In the past few nights, I haven't gone out at all, who can see me appear elsewhere, Lao Tzu directly gouged out his eyes!"
For a military general, such a speech attitude is normal, anyway, in the eyes of civil officials, vulgar and despicable martial artists are almost all virtuous.
"General Luo, don't be excited. ”
Governor Wang's tone eased slightly: "You said that you haven't gone out at night for the past few days, so where did you live when you came to the capital?
"How do I know where Lord Yuan's house is, I haven't been there!"
Luo Chong waved his hand impatiently: "I don't have any contact with the household department, until now when I am a soldier, I have never received a copper plate salary from the household department, and the whereabouts of the second son of his family are unknown, so I can only say that I have done too much for lack of virtue and too many debts." ”
"You!"
Of course, Yuan Erye, the younger brother of Hubu Shangshu, couldn't sit still, and was about to have a seizure, but he was pulled by the general judge next to him, and temporarily suppressed his anger.
Governor Wang was very calm when he arrived, and asked again: "General Luo, as far as I know, you are now living in a mansion of His Royal Highness Yongning on Yuhua Street, right?"
"That's right. Luo Chong nodded.
"That's right. ”
Governor Wang arrived again: "At noon on the day of Yuan Gongzi's disappearance, His Royal Highness Yongning went to that mansion to see you, and then, that night, Yuan Gongzi had an accident. What kind of connection does this have, General Luo, do you still need me to explain it in detail?"
"TD, albeit TD. ”
Luo Chong beckoned: "Since I'm here, I have enough patience to listen to your chatter." ”
"That's you!"
Second Master Yuan couldn't help it, slapped the table, and roared loudly: "You did it, where did you get my second nephew, and now, is it dead or alive?"
Of course, his anger and excitement were probably faked, and the fundamental purpose was to test Luo Chong's reaction.
On the premise that there is no evidence, at least the person who is the most suspicious is identified first, and there will be clearer clues to find evidence.
Or, by following the line of suspects, you can find the missing person. After all, solving the case is the second, and saving people is the main thing.
"Wronged me?"
Luo Chong didn't control his anger with anger, but looked at him gloomily: "Believe it or not, I'll find an opportunity to slap you to death?"
The implication: If I have the ability to kidnap your nephew, I have the ability to enter your house in the middle of the night and kill you old boy.
Second Master Yuan shrank his neck, and suddenly lost his arrogance, after all, he already knew that Luo Chong's martial arts were strong, and he could defeat the chain mountain of Qingyuan Country head-on, at least he was also a super martial artist at the grandmaster level.
Playing with words, none of them are afraid of reading, but if they use violence, who can care about the death threats issued by a strong grandmaster.
Compared with his nephew's life, he cares more about his old life.
"General Luo, don't forget, you are an official of the imperial court, not a thief!"
The prefect of the king reprimanded awe-inspiringly: "It's official now, and we need you to fully cooperate with our investigation, if you have such an unreasonable attitude, tomorrow morning, I will go to the court and directly join you in front of Your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, I'm a little excited. ”
Luo Chong grinned, spread his hands, and pointed at Yuan Erye: "But it's all provoked by this old boy! I am a martial artist, and I don't have as much cultivation as your civil officials, who dares to wronged me, the first thought that flashed through my mind was to kill him." Lord Wang, you're not a military general, don't you understand?"
"Humph!"
Wang Zhifu sneered lightly, and said in his heart I have also dealt with many generals, but I have never seen you so cross.
Although Luo Chong is only a fourth-grade military general, and he is a turtle in a remote area, but standing behind him, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the prefect still has some scruples in his heart.
As an official, the last thing you want to face is this kind of thing, you have to offend people left and right, you will offend the head of the household if you don't handle the case effectively, and if you really solve the case, you will offend Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.
What should I do?
From his standpoint, he can only be as smooth as possible on the general principle of official business, and try not to offend Princess Yongning to death.
The best situation is: do your best to solve the case and save Yuan Gongzi intact, Lord Yuan, the head of the household department, will definitely take the initiative to calm the people, and the emperor will not really punish Yongning ruthlessly. In the end, maybe there is still a possibility that you will not know each other, which will contribute to this marriage and leave a good story.
It's just that looking at it now, this Luo Dong is not a little more arrogant than he imagined, he has soldiers under his hands, he is very capable of fighting, and he himself is a strong grandmaster, such a role is really more difficult to deal with than imagined.
Wang Zhifu even thought that if he was forced to have no way out, he would go to Lord Yuan's house in the dark at night to get a few more lives, and then fly away, wandering the rivers and lakes as a grandmaster and martial artist, and even running to other countries...... If he has to do this, who can stop him.
It's hard!
Even if you know that he did it, what can you do to him?
