Chapter 252: Visiting Jinyiwei
At this point in the investigation of the case, at least the investigation of the Wei Mansion can be concluded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info it's just that this murderer is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it's really not easy to find.
Jinyiwei's next step was to investigate the people in the capital and ask if there were anyone with suspicious whereabouts or frequent haunts around the Wei Mansion. However, Chen Feng knew that this investigation would definitely not lead to anything.
"Lord Yuwen, in addition to investigating the murderer, please also pay attention to the adults who support the prince, they may also be in danger of their lives. Chen Feng reminded one last time.
Yu Wenzhi looked suspicious, but he didn't ask much, because Wei Zinan was a staunch supporter of the crown prince, and he also supported the prince in the court many times, as well as blamed the king of Han and the king of Zhao.
Yu Wenzhi wasn't sure if this matter had anything to do with the fight for the throne, but he had already listened to Chen Feng's words, and he would immediately report to the commander of the Jinyi Guard. When it comes to the struggle for the throne, whether it is groundless or not, it needs to be taken seriously.
Chen Feng was helplessly preparing to go back, and just as he was about to go out of the gate, all the guards in the lobby poured out, asking who the murderer was.
Chen Feng was depressed in his heart, but he could only continue to flicker: "Please rest assured, I will definitely find out the murderer!"
The old lady was furious, pointed at Chen Feng with a cane and said, "You just promised to find the murderer by shaving your hair, why are you prevaricating us now?"
Chen Feng said with a bitter face: "I'm not prevaricating you, but the murderer is not so easy to find." Now that the cause of death has been determined, this is the greatest blessing. I, Chen Feng, promise here, if I don't catch the murderer, then I will apologize with death!"
The old lady scolded: "The words are nice, who knows when you will catch the murderer!"
The people of Jinyiwei were watching from the side, Pei Yu was a little gloating, Yuwen Zhi wanted to relieve the siege, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know what to say, after all, Haikou was boasted by Chen Feng himself. Therefore, Yuwen Zhi's foot that was about to step out retracted again, and this matter could only be solved by Chen Feng himself.
Facing the aggressiveness of the people in the Wei Mansion, Chen Feng said firmly: "Give me ten days, and I will definitely be able to find the murderer!"
Ten days sounds like a lot, but finding a needle in a haystack isn't easy.
And for the people of Weifu, since there is a deadline, then they can gladly accept it.
The old lady said: "Okay, today's adults of Jinyiwei testify, you are also a concubine, you can't break your word!"
Chen Feng nodded: "Just wait for my good news!"
Walking out of the Wei Mansion, Ah Da and Ah Er followed silently by their side, and Chen Feng already had a headache. Just now, it was difficult to ride a tiger and had to make a promise, but now that I think about it, it is not easy to find the murderer in ten days.
Returning to the inn, hearing that Chen Feng was back, everyone gathered in the lobby.
Chen Feng didn't say the ten-day agreement, so as not to worry everyone, but just told the cause of Wei Zinan's death, and asked Dugu Huang: "Uncle Huang, who do you say among the killers in the rivers and lakes killed people in this way?"
Dugu Huang shook his head: "Although I have heard of some notorious killers, I don't know much about them. Killers kill people, most of the cases are handled by the imperial court, and Jinyiwei should know the most. Since they can't even tell who the killer is, it's impossible for me to know. ”
Chen Feng said: "Since the murderer can't be determined, now we can only explore from the side." We will continue to act as murderers, so as long as we ambush the murderer's target, we may be lucky enough to run into the murderer!"
Dugu Huang said worriedly: "Now we don't know the strength of the murderer, the safest way is for everyone to act together, but we can't go to squat every night, right? ”
Chen Feng smiled: "Actually, it's not low, the targets of the killers are all big shots, and they are staunch supporters of the prince, after all, there are a few such people." Besides, we can cooperate with Jinyiwei, or even Mingtang. They have manpower, and even if they can't stop the killer, they can at least get something out of the killer. ”
"Are Jinyiwei and Mingtang willing to cooperate?" Dugu Huang frowned. In fact, according to his meaning, there is no need to care about the affairs of the court at all, and the most important thing is to enhance his strength.
Chen Feng and Dugu Huang are in different positions, Dugu Huang only cares about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, while Chen Feng has an inseparable relationship with the imperial court, so there is no way to ignore it.
"Let's continue to practice, I'll go out again and visit Mingtang and Jinyiwei in person. ”
Chen Feng took Ah Da and Ah Er out again, and Mingtang and Jinyiwei looked across the street, but they were also on the way.
When I arrived at the Ming Hall first, Zhuge was in the study, and he was writing comfortably.
When Chen Feng saw him, he put on a bitter face: "Mr. Zhuge , you are idle, I don't know if you have heard about the murder of Wei Shilang?"
Zhuge Zheng didn't look at Chen Feng, and said as he continued to write: "I naturally know about this case, and I also know the purpose of your visit. You are worried that the murderer is someone from the side of King Han and King Zhao, and you are afraid of threatening the crown prince, so you asked me to help track down the murderer. ”
Chen Feng admired: "Mr. Zhuge is like a god, and I hope that Mingtang can track down the murderer together." ”
Zhuge Zheng has always been easy to speak, but this time he refused: "It's not that I don't want to help, but this case has been handed over to Jinyiwei to deal with." The emperor didn't have an explicit order, so it's not good for us to interfere. ”
Zhu Di only handed over this case to Jinyiwei for investigation, and if Mingtang intervened, it would be tantamount to disobeying the will. No matter how good the relationship between Zhuge Zheng and Chen Feng is, it is impossible to help.
"Looks like I'll have to go to Jinyiwei. Chen Feng said that he was about to go out.
"Wait!" Zhuge Zheng stopped him, put down the brush, nodded with satisfaction at the words he wrote, and then looked at Chen Feng, "Jinyiwei has always disliked others pointing fingers at him, and now you want them to assist you, how can they be willing?" ”
Zhuge was personally accompanied, and Chen Feng was naturally happy.
The two of them went out of the Ming Hall and went directly to the Jinyi Guard Command Division opposite. Even if the people in Jinyi Wei didn't know Chen Feng, they also knew Zhuge Zheng, the big guy, and the guards at the door immediately went in to pass through.
After a while, Yu Wenzhi, who had seen him before, came out to greet him. He was surprised to see Zhuge Zheng and Chen Feng together, first saluted, and then said: "The commander is just going to the palace to report the case, and it will take at least half an hour to come back." ”
Zhuge Zheng smiled: "Then let's go in and sit." ”
Except for Yu Wenzhi, everyone in Jinyiwei was vigilant. After all, Jinyiwei and Mingtang often work against each other, and Mingtang Mingshuai came to Jinyiwei as a guest, this is the first time.
Yu Wenzhi didn't refuse, and he couldn't refuse, because the only one who could talk to Zhuge Zheng was the boss of Jinyiwei. Regardless of the purpose of the other party's visit, at least on the surface, pay a respect.
Yu Wenzhi brought Chen Feng and Zhuge Zheng to the conference hall, and personally served tea, and then asked sideways, wanting to know the true meaning of the two.
Chen Feng and Zhuge Zheng were not in a hurry to say the purpose, if they let the people of Jinyiwei know in advance, and then notify the commander, then they would be able to think of a good rhetoric and get ready. If the commander arrives and explains the reason in person, the other party may not have time to think.
The time was punctual, and after waiting for half an hour, three cups of tea were drunk, and the commander of the Jinyi Guards finally came out after a long time.
Lu Shigeng, the second master of the Lu family, and the commander of the Jinyi guard, walked into the conference hall with a long knife on their waists.
"Mr. Zhuge Chen, Chen's horse!" Lu Shigeng bowed his hand when he came in. Don't look at his pleasant face, but the majesty of the superior exuded from his body is suffocating. It's not that he deliberately exudes it, but he has been the commander of the brocade guard for many years, and his martial arts are superb, so he naturally exudes this momentum.
Zhuge Zheng couldn't feel this kind of momentum, because he had already achieved restraint, so it was even more unfathomable.
Lu Shigeng sat on the main seat and asked, "It's rare for the two of you to come to the Jinyi Guard Command Division, and after waiting for this commander for so long, you won't just come to drink tea, right?"
Chen Feng went straight to the point and said: "The commander made the adults smile, naturally we are not here to drink tea." This time, I brought some proposals, hoping to arrest the murderer with Jinyiwei. ”
Lu Shigeng put away his smile and said solemnly: "The murderer you are talking about, is it the murderer of Wei Zinan......'s murder?"
