Volume 4 Tang Poetry Murder Chapter 10 The Third Dead
Su Zhuo watched Zhuo Wu leave, and he still couldn't feel at ease. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He said goodbye to Liu Wentian and walked towards the inn. Warburg Pincus must still be waiting for him, and the next plan also needs him to do it. Of course, the most important thing is to get a good night's sleep and recuperate.
Thinking so, Su Zhuo unconsciously quickened his pace. Passing through Guangdefang, I saw several officials on the street looking for a Taoist priest surnamed Liu. But this square is close to the downtown area, and there is no Taoist temple at all, let alone any Taoist priest. Su Zhuo faintly felt that this method was inappropriate, but it was difficult to come up with any good way for a while, so he had to let Liu Wentian toss, hoping that this would deter the murderer a little. And now the matter of Warburg Pincus has also reached a critical juncture, and there must be no mistakes.
Back at the inn, Hua Ping also didn't sleep well all night, and was waiting for news in the room. As soon as Su Zhuo saw him, he said, "Hurry up and pack up and get ready to get out of the city!"
Hua Ping was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing out of the city?"
Su Zhuo said: "Wang Cheng, the general of the Right Martial Guard, has been practicing in the school field outside the city recently, if you want to bring down Changshi, you must invite him back!"
Hua Ping was puzzled: "How do you know that the general is Wang Cheng? and you know that he is now in the school field outside the city?"
Su Zhuo smiled: "If you want to do something, you must first understand who you are facing. As soon as I came to Chang'an, I investigated all the people of the right guard. ”
Hua Ping sincerely admired, but doubted: "But how can General Wang listen to me and return?"
Su Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "As far as I know, Wang Cheng is a rough man, and he has always grasped the big and small. If you tell the truth, he will ignore you. But if someone wants to lead an army to rebel, he will definitely rush back in the starry night! You should go to the school field now and reveal the news of Liu Zhong and the others' intention to lead the troops to rebel to Wang Cheng, and you must let him rush back before noon tomorrow!"
Hua Ping was taken aback and said, "Liu Zhong wants to rebel?
Su Zhuo snorted and said, "I let him rebel, he naturally has to be obedient!"
Hua Ping was a little worried, and said: "Su Zhuo, this kind of thing is not fun, if you get into trouble, your life will be lost, you have to be cautious!"
Su Zhuo sighed and said, "I take care of it." It's just that if you don't do this risky move, it's hard to deal with the dignified governor of the governor's history. ”
Hua Ping patted Su Zhuo on the shoulder, and got up and went out. Su Zhuo stayed alone in the house, let out a long breath, and suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness hit him. As soon as he lay down on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep was full of nightmares, and I slept very unsoundly. Su Zhuo suddenly woke up from his dream, and when he looked up, he saw that it was already dark. There was no light in the house, and I couldn't see my fingers. He gasped for a few breaths, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more apparent.
Su Zhuo got up, didn't go to light the lamp, washed his face with cold water, and hurried to Guangdefang. At this time, the time is coming to an end, and it is forbidden to travel. Su Zhuo did not have a pass certificate and was stopped by the guards at the fangmen.
He hurriedly asked, "Isn't there a right-street envoy who patrols Guangdefang?"
One of the guards said, "Oh, you're talking about them." I patrolled quite hard yesterday, but I can't do it today, so I'll probably find a place to sleep now. ”
Su Zhuo's heart jumped, and he secretly screamed that it was not good. Suddenly, a childish scream streaked across the sky, shattering the silence of the night. Su Zhuo was taken aback and blurted out: "It's from the east of the fang!"
The guard was also startled, and was a little at a loss for a moment. Su Zhuo said to one person: "You go to the right street to report to the embassy, 100,000 are urgent! Leave two people here to guard, and the others will come with me!"
Su Zhuo's order went down, and there was a majesty of his own, and the five or six guards consciously obeyed his arrangement. Su Zhuo took three or four people and headed straight to the east. As soon as he ran into an alley, he saw a drooping child running in front of him, shouting as he ran.
Su Zhuo hugged him and asked, "You shouted just now?"
The child cried out, "Dead...... Dead ......," he said, pointing his hand back.
Su Zhuo picked him up and ran into the house he was referring to. The garden gate is open, the courtyard is fresh and elegant, and the furnishings are simple. There is a large iron furnace in the courtyard, shaped like an incense burner, and there is a fire burning inside. The hall was wide open and empty. One man was lying on the ground, with blood gushing from under him.
Su Zhuo put down the child and hurriedly stepped forward to check on the man. I saw that the man was already out of breath, and the wound on his chest was constantly gushing blood. He said in his heart: "The corpse is still hot, the wound is spurting blood, the murderer has just committed the murder, and he must not have gone far!"
He ran out of the hall, stood in the courtyard, looked around, and flashed several escape routes in his mind: This place is located in the southeast corner of Guangdefang, and outside the back wall of the courtyard is the fang gate, guarded by guards; he came from the direction of the gate just now, but he didn't see anyone; there is no alley on the left side of the house, only from the right side! Su Zhuo blurted out: "The right side is a dead end, chase quickly!"
Several guards hurriedly chased outside, and when they saw Zhuo Wu running in with a frightened face, a group of officials followed from afar. As soon as Zhuo Wu entered the mansion, he saw that someone was dead again, and blurted out: "It's over!"
Su Zhuo chased to the alley on the right, but who knew that the alley was empty, and there was no one at all. He was stunned and looked around blankly, and the surrounding walls were very high. If the murderer escaped over the wall and into someone else's yard, he would not be without movement. And this is a big mansion, there must be servants or domestic dogs in the courtyard, why is there no warning at all?
Zhuo Wu took a group of subordinates, worried in his heart, and asked Su Zhuo: "Master Su, where is the murderer?"
Su Zhuo shook his head slightly, and said, "Let's spread out and look for it first......" and fell into deep thought as he spoke.
Zhuo Wu hurriedly ordered everyone to search, and he said angrily: "It's all my fault for being lazy!" I thought that if I brought all the Taoist priests surnamed Liu back to the mansion during the day, it would be fine, who knows...... Alas......"
The neighbors around heard the commotion and were awakened. Many people lit lamps and came out with their clothes draped to see what was going on. Not long after, Liu Wentian also came with a group of people. As soon as he entered the door, he complained, "Didn't you find all the Taoist priests surnamed Liu?
Zhuo Wu hurriedly stepped forward and echoed: "Yes, we don't know what's going on......
Liu Wentian snorted and said, "Are you lazy again and didn't inspect properly?" He knew everything about his subordinates.
Zhuo Wu was speechless. Su Zhuo didn't know what was going on with them, and looked around. I saw that the hall was empty, simple and neat, and there were no traces of fighting. The deceased was dressed in a Taoist robe, which had been soaked with blood beneath him.
Su Zhuo turned the body over, and the man was stabbed in the chest, and at a rough look, it was consistent with the wounds of the first two deceased. The deceased had a cut on his right index finger, and the wound on his finger had solidified. And as expected, there are also two lines of poetry under the deceased:
Thousands of miles long to move to the country of Yelang,
Three years and long wind sand!
Liu Wentian stood aside, gasped, and said hatefully: "This murderer still made a move!" But we have already brought back all the Taoist priests surnamed Liu, who is this person?"
Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "Although this person is wearing a Taoist robe, he is not a true Taoist priest!"
