Chapter 100: Joint Investigation of the Case
[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, March 29, Chenshi, Tsing Yi Wei Nan Anping Division]
Today, after Xu Ke went to Tsing Yi Wei on duty, the first thing he wanted to do was naturally to go to Nan'an Pingsi to investigate the case.
He was about to leave, but he heard a report from his subordinates that Zhang Qianhu of the Qingjing Division was here.
Xu Ke hurriedly went out to welcome Zhang Muye into his office, and the first thing Zhang Muye said when he came in was:
"Brother Xu, yesterday, everyone celebrated for Brother Nangong, why didn't you see you here?"
Xu Ke said ashamedly: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhang, I was not in a good mood yesterday, so I ......"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhang Muye immediately waved his hand, signaling Xu Ke not to explain, and he continued:
"I heard, you want to go to Nan'an Ping Division to investigate Yang Wenyuan's case?"
"That's right!" Xu Kexi said.
"Yesterday, my brothers were all accompanying Nangong Qianhu, and I didn't come over. Why don't I come with you today?"
"Yay!"
The two happily settled on this matter.
In Xu Ke's heart, he originally had a good impression of this Zhang Qianhu. Moreover, his Qingjing Division is also a rather mysterious department in the entire Tsing Yi Guard. Xu Ke heard that the emperor often had some secret tasks handed over to the Qingjing Division, and these tasks were either to investigate people or cases. Then, Zhang Muye should be a master of solving cases. Now, this Zhang Qianhu is willing to take the initiative to help him investigate the case, so he naturally can't ask for it.
So, the two of them left Xu Ke's official room immediately and went straight to Yang Wenyuan's Nan'an Pingsi.
On the way, Xu Ke asked Zhang Muye:
"Brother Zhang, do you also think that King Han was killed by Mingyue?"
Zhang Muye shook his head: "Unlikely!" However, he said: "However, if the emperor is willing to believe it, King Han can only be killed by Mingyue"
"Just because the emperor is willing to believe, will innocent people die?" Xu Ke asked again.
Zhang Muye still shook his head and smiled again, but did not speak.
In a short time, the two of them had already come to the Nan'an Ping Division, Yang Wenyuan's official room.
The guard at the gate said that Yang Qianhu was ordered by Governor Shen to take people out to patrol the city, and he was not in the guard at this time.
So, Zhang Muye ordered the guards to call the chief hundred households of the Nan'an Ping Division to seal up one.
As soon as Feng Bu saw the two thousand households coming over together, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said hello to the two thousand households.
Zhang Muye then ordered: "Xu Qianhu wants to investigate King Han's case, you take us to meet that Mingyue first!"
Feng Buyi hesitated: "King Han's case, my family's thousands of households have been tried, Shen Dudu has already approved, and even the emperor has issued an order, what else is there to investigate?"
Zhang Muye raised his eyebrows, and immediately said in a deep voice:
"If you are told to lead the way, hurry up and lead the way, what nonsense!"
"Okay, good, let's lead the way......" Seeing that Zhang Muye's face was not good, the seal did not dare to offend, so he had to lead the way first, leading Xu Ke and Zhang Muye to the cell of Nan'an Pingsi.
However, Feng Buyi signaled with his eyes, called a guard beside him, and whispered in his ear, and after the guard got the order, he immediately quickly sent a message. Jiuhe Library
Zhang Muye watched the guards rush away, but he snorted coldly and did not stop him.
Feng Bu took two thousand households, walked around the long room and corridor of the Nan'an Ping Division, and after turning around the boss, he walked into the prison area where the prisoners were held.
In Tsing Yi Wei, the South and North Anping Divisions often arrest and interrogate people, and each division has its own cell. The cells inside the Kita-Anheiji Division are called "Kita Prisons". The cells in the Minami Anhei Division are called "South Jail".
For a long time, because the Bei'an Ping Division was in charge of the trial of important cases in the capital, and helped the Son of Heaven supervise the daily words and deeds of all the Beijing officials and princes and nobles, there were many people in the jurisdiction, far more than the other three divisions. In addition, the Son of Heaven often issued edicts to put those ministers who were convicted of words in the "Northern Prison" and severely punished them. Over time, the "North Prison" became known as the "Imperial Prison". Over the past 300 years, the scale of the Imperial Prison has become larger and larger, with more and more prisoners imprisoned, and the torture instruments inside have become more and more abundant. It is rumored that once you enter the Imperial Prison, you will lose three layers of skin if you don't die! Yes, you will look up and down, but when you hear the word "Imperial Prison," you are talking about the change of the tiger's color! As for the "Southern Prison" in the Nan'an Ping Division, very little is known about it......
At this time, Feng Buyi took Xu and Zhang, two thousand households, into the south prison, and wandered around for a long time, but he still couldn't bring Mingyue's cell, he pretended to be confused and said:
"Huh, where did Lord Qianhu lock Mingyue in? Why can't his subordinates find it......"
"How...... Where is Mingyue Guan, I can't remember?" Zhang Muye asked coldly.
Feng Buyi scratched his head, put on a confused look, and said: "Zhang Qianhu, although our southern prison is not as good as the edict of the northern division, there are also a lot of cells inside. Mingyue was specially arranged by the master of my family and was detained in solitary confinement, and his subordinates really couldn't remember it for a while, huh...... Where is Mingyue's cell?"
"I can't think of it, I'll help you think about it!" Seeing Zhang Muye's figure flickering, he quietly flashed to the opposite side of Feng Buyi, and before Feng Buyi saw it clearly, he heard a "snap" sound, and he had already slapped Zhang Muye in the face. Rao is Qianhu only used half of his strength, and he had already beaten Feng Buyi's right cheek to be red and swollen, and half of his face was painful!
"You!Zhang Qianhu, how are you beating people?" Feng Buyi covered his cheeks, so painful that he could barely speak.
Xu Ke, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Zhang Muye said that he would beat people, and that the other party was still a dignified chief hundred-hundred-year-old of the fifth grade.
Zhang Muye raised his right palm again, sneered and asked:
"Do you remember it now? If you can't remember it, I can help you ...... again."
"I remembered, I remembered, Mingyue's cell is there, and the last one on the right is!"
At this moment, Feng Buyi didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly walked to Mingyue's prison door, while covering his right cheek, he took out the key and opened the prison door.
"Two thousand households, Mingyue is inside!"
Seeing Xu Ke and Zhang Muye walking into the cell, Feng Bu hurriedly turned around and fled as if he was hiding from the plague......
"Brother Zhang, isn't your temper a thousand households?" Xu Ke said with a smile.
"Brother Xu, I can't do anything about it, if you don't give them a little color, they won't have a long memory! Zhang Muye also replied with a smile.
The two of them entered the dimly lit cell, and after slowly adjusting to the light inside, they saw a woman with loose hair and a haggard face, sitting alone on the edge of the bed. She stared at the roof with blank eyes, as if thoughtful, as if in a daze.
"You...... Is that Miss Mingyue?" asked Xu Ke.
"......" The woman was still staring blankly at the roof, as if she didn't notice it.
Xu Ke glanced around the cell, only to see that there was only a simple wooden bed in the room, a small table, a square stool, and a basin stand next to it, and a basin was placed on the basin rack, and there was a square towel for washing his face, and a toilet in the corner, and besides, there was nothing else.
Xu Ke took the square stool and put it next to Zhang Muye, and said, "Brother Zhang, you sit!"
Zhang Muye waved his hand and said, "You are the one who tried the case, you sit!"
Xu Ke saw that there was only one square stool in the room, and at this time, Feng Buyi had fled to the unknown place, and he couldn't call other guards, so he had to bring the square table over again, ready to use it as a seat for himself, but he heard Zhang Muye say politely:
"Brother Xu, you only have to try the case, I'll just stand! This table is not firmly on all fours, be careful to turn it over for you!"
Xu Ke took a closer look at the square table, and saw that a table leg was already missing, he smiled slightly in his heart, and said in his heart that Brother Zhang is really a thousand households in the Qingjing Division, and he is as bright as a green mirror.
Xu Ke lifted the square stool, walked to Mingyue and sat down, he was about to open his mouth to ask, when he heard a messy footstep in the corridor of the cell, and soon saw the door "bang" and was pushed open from the outside. A man with a short figure, a slightly chubby body, thin eyes and a thick nose, a round face with a smile, and a glance at the rat's whisker under his chin, walked in with an arrow, and that person was none other than the thousand households of the Tsing Yi Wei Nan Anping Division, Yang Wenyuan.
