48 The sword of the dead body was found
saw that "Bi Changming" slowly shook his head and replied: "I don't know, it's a little weird to talk about it." At that time, the 'Tang Xiaoyue' died under the 'Seven Evil Poisons', and I had carefully examined it, and it was indeed dead on the spot, and there was no possibility of survival. Because he came to me to discuss this time, he sneaked into the mansion quietly, and no one else knew, so I planned to quietly send his body out of the Bifu and go to the back mountain to bury it, so as to cover up the matter, but suddenly I heard a movement outside the house, and it seemed that someone was secretly checking. So I hurriedly rushed outside the house, but I didn't see anyone, and now I know that I was bumped into by Aunt Chun who came to change the bedding......" When he said this, Aunt Chun screamed again, and shouted to herself: "You are not the third son...... No...... You're a murderer!"
Bi Changming sighed, and then said: "I couldn't find anyone at the time, and I thought I heard it wrong. But after this toss, it was inconvenient to transport the body of 'Tang Xiaoyue' out of the house for a while, so he had to temporarily hide the body under the bed and erase the traces of the fight in the house one by one. Then I searched around the mansion to see if anyone had really bumped into the fight between me and 'Tang Xiaoyue', but I still found nothing. I put my mind at ease and went to the back mountain of Longdong Mountain alone to choose a place to abandon the corpse, and then went back to the house for dinner, thinking about staying until the dead of night, and then discarding the corpse of 'Tang Xiaoyue'. At that time, I went back to the house to fetch the body, but I found that it was empty under the bed, and there was any 'Tang Xiaoyue' there? At that time, I was so frightened that my face turned pale, and I thought it was a corpse, so I searched everywhere in the room, but I couldn't find the body of 'Tang Xiaoyue'. β
When Xie Yixiang heard this, her heart suddenly moved, and she interjected and asked, "In this way, you have already discovered that the body of 'Tang Xiaoyue' is missing around the time of Hai. This was before the murder that night?" Bi Changxiao nodded and said, "Not bad. β
You must know that if what "Bi Changming" said is true, then there are only two possibilities why "Tang Xiaoyue's" body disappeared: one is that "Tang Xiaoyue" did not die at all, so he left on his own; second, an insider quietly removed the body while "Bi Changming" was out. However, "Bi Changxiao" personally confirmed that "Tang Xiaoyue" had died at that time, and his body was now clearly placed in front of everyone, and he did die under the "Seven Evils" of the Tang Sect, so it would only be the second possibility, and someone in the know secretly removed the body.
In this way, the headless corpse that everyone saw in the "Dragon Yin Pavilion" that night is also very likely that someone is suspicious, chopping off the head of the corpse of "Tang Xiaoyue", and has never disguised a scene where "Guan Gong appeared and killed King Heng"; that is to say, the corpse that night was actually the corpse of "Tang Xiaoyue" in the front hall at this moment. As for General Nasa's testimony, the results of the autopsy made by the Chengdu Mansion, and the identification of the corpse of King Heng's concubine, etc., maybe it was someone Li Dai Taozhuang, who brought a headless corpse top bag that was extremely similar to King Heng's age and body shape, so as to confuse the eyes of the world.
At that moment, Xie Yixiang asked Aunt Na Chun if she had also informed others about the situation of "Bi Changxiao" killing "Tang Xiaoyue", but Aunt Chun just shook her head vigorously, repeatedly saying that "Bi Changxiao" was a murderer, and it didn't seem like the person who stole "Tang Xiaoyue's" body. At that moment, "Bi Changming" added: "I couldn't find the body at that time, I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and then I heard that the house was gradually in chaos, and someone came to pass it, saying that there was a murder in the 'Longyin Pavilion'." I was terrified at the time, thinking of the movement outside the house I heard in the afternoon, and thought that someone had deliberately moved the body of 'Tang Xiaoyue' to the 'Longyin Pavilion', but I didn't know what the other party's intentions were. I was thinking about it in the house, so I delayed a lot, so I arrived late. β
Xie Yixiang was disappointed in her heart, it turned out that "Bi Changxiao" had already had such a conjecture, and the corpse in the "Dragon Yin Pavilion" was naturally not "Tang Xiaoyue", but she made a look of sudden realization on her face, and immediately asked: "I see! Later, when you went to the scene of the murder of the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion', was the headless corpse in the pool of blood the lost corpse of 'Tang Xiaoyue'?" It is also the headless corpse in the front hall at this moment?"
Bi Changming was slightly stunned and blurted out, "Naturally not." Just as the results of the inspection by the servants, the headless corpse in the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion' that night was a man in his thirties in the prime of life......" Xie Yixiang immediately interrupted him and asked, "You have to think clearly before answering." β
Hearing Xie Yixiang's question, everyone present immediately understood what she meant, it turned out that Xie Yixiang still planned to prove that the deceased was not King Heng, so as to make a decision on the case and exonerate the Bi family. The identity of "Bi Changming" was embarrassing at this time, and in front of everyone, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and he couldn't speak. It just so happened that at this moment, General Song, who had gone to search the "Fengwu Pavilion" before, had already strode into the front hall, and snorted coldly: "Good guy, look at what I found in the 'Fengwu Pavilion' old Song!"
As soon as the words fell, two soldiers walked in after General Song Shen, each holding a wooden plate in their hands. The two soldiers showed the contents of the wooden plate to the public, a parrot robe embroidered with dark green flowers, a green soft hat with scarlet red tassels, a large black fake beard, and a pair of iron combat boots more than three feet high.
When everyone saw these things, they didn't need General Song to explain and knew that they were props used to dress up as Guan Gong, it seems that what Zhao Ruoregret said before was true, and someone did pretend to be Guan Gong in the "Fengwu Pavilion" on the night of the murder.
I only heard General Song Shen say with a smile: "In the land of Sichuan and Shu, especially in the area of Chengdu Mansion, there are often miraculous things about public apparitions. If they are traitors, they will often have their heads cut off in the middle of the night, and when it is dawn the next day, these heads will appear on the offering table in the nearby Guandi Temple, and many people have witnessed the murder in the middle of the night is Guan Gong, who is armed with the Qinglong Yanyue knife. It is said that this manifest Guan Gong is extremely burly, and his steps are extremely heavy, listening to the sound of footsteps, he also weighs two or three hundred catties, but it turns out that it isββ"
As he spoke, he pointed to the pair of iron combat boots that were more than three feet high, and sneered: "It turns out that this person who pretends to be Guan Gong, as Mr. Zhao saw, is actually a woman, or a person of short stature, so he will wear such a pair of iron boots." Look, the soles of these boots are about a foot thick, and they are obviously used by the people who are dressed up to increase their height, which is why their footsteps are so heavy. β
Everyone immediately carefully looked at the pair of iron-cast combat boots in the hands of the soldiers, and nodded one after another, and General Song concluded: "So judging from this pair of iron boots alone, the woman dressed as Guan Gong that Mr. Zhao saw in the 'Fengwu Pavilion' that night was not only the murderer of King Heng that night, but also more than eighty percent of the possibilities, and Guan Gong who often appeared in Shu. β
As soon as these words came out, the entire front hall was in an uproar. Here, Xie Yixiang has just forced out a murder case of "true and false Bi Changming", which led to the scandal of the engagement of brothers and sisters between the Bi family and the Tang family. However, General Song was still unsatisfied, and said loudly: "Not only these things, do you guess what else I found in the 'Fengwu Pavilion'?"
Hearing this, Xie Yixiang was suddenly shocked in his heart, could it be that General Song had really found King Heng's head after a search in the "Fengwu Pavilion"? If this was the case, he had no hope of making a fuss about his "identity as King Heng". But listening to the sound of footsteps outside the front hall, two soldiers walked into the front hall one after the other, but they carried a long knife in. When everyone saw this long knife, they were immediately shocked in their hearts, and several people stood up in fright, and said one after another: "This ...... This is Guan Gong's Qinglong Glaive Knife?"
I saw that the long knife in the soldier's hand was ancient, but it was at least hundreds of years old, and the whole body was glowing with a red halo, about eight feet long;
The butler of Nafu stepped forward for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "It's weird, it's weird! This knife ...... Isn't this the original Qinglong Yanyue knife in the hands of the statue of Guan Gong in the front yard? But it was lost many years ago, so we invited the long knife used by the old master in his life and put it in the hands of the statue of Guan Gong. β
Xie Yixiang suddenly realized that when he first entered Bi Mansion in the morning, he was almost injured by the long knife in the hand of the statue of Guan Gong, and Bi Changxiao explained at that time that the original Qinglong Yanyue knife in the statue's hand had been lost for no reason, so it would be replaced by the blade used by Bi Wuzong back then. Unexpectedly, this long-lost Qinglong Yanyue Knife has actually reappeared now, could it be that the murderer of Shu who pretended to be Guan Gong's manifestation, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife used was actually the knife that had been lost in Bifu?
Sure enough, General Song immediately laughed dryly and said: "This Qinglong Yanyue Knife is the murder weapon used by Guan Gong to manifest the spirit, and it is also the murder weapon of the night murder in Bifu, and it is an important evidence of this case. Since Steward Fu is willing to come and claim it, it couldn't be better!"
