Chapter Eight: Strange Cases (Six Watches)

After Liu Changqing finished signing, he opened one, took out ten taels of silver from it and handed it to Mr. Bookkeeper, just nodded, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

The bookkeeper looked at Liu Changqing's departing back, and nodded secretly, the kid is very flexible, and he should be able to mix the wind.

Back in the side room, Liu Changqing handed over twenty taels to He Youliang in front of all the headhunters, "Today, junior brother, I will take office on the first day, junior brother will be the east, let Brother He Zhang Luo, everyone get together!"

Twenty taels is not a small amount, you must know that as a fast catch, a month's worth of two or three taels, everyone's eyes lit up, especially He Youliang was even more flattered, waved his hand again and again, saying that twenty taels was too much, Liu Changqing had to pretend to be angry, saying that the rest of the people would not be divided, everyone was happy, there was food, drink and take, who was not happy?

After a period of greetings, He Youliang quietly pulled Liu Changqing's sleeve and came outside, and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Liu, you don't know, the reason why Lord Fuzun let you take office in a hurry is because there is a tricky case that you need to deal with." The previous chief arrest was dismissed and investigated for failing to handle the case, and we were also punished for two months. ”

Liu Changqing said in his heart that the meat drama was coming, but his face was silent, and he asked seriously: "What kind of case is it?"

"Time is pressing, Mr. Liu, let's talk while walking. He Youliang said and led Liu Changqing to the outside of the Taishou Mansion, of course he was going to the Muwang Mansion, Liu Changqing came for the first time, and if he wanted to solve the case, of course he had to investigate the scene.

Of course, it was inconvenient for Liu Changqing to hold a few letters of silver, so he found a money bank on the road and saved them, leaving only seventy taels of silver by his side, and the rest were replaced with banknote prints, which was convenient to carry.

Muwang's Mansion is on the easternmost side of Muzhou Prefecture, and it takes half an hour to walk quickly from Taishou Mansion, and He Youliang explained the ins and outs of the matter to Liu Changqing in detail along the way.

It turned out that more than 20 days ago, the county lord of Chu Chu of the Muwang Mansion suddenly disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the world, and no one knew where he went. Lord Mu used the power of the palace and the state capital to arrest quickly, and the investigation was fruitless for several days. Therefore, Lord Mu was furious and limited the mansion to Lord Chen to solve the case within ten days. As a result, the previous chief arrest still got nothing after the deadline, there was no way, Fu Zun had to bite the bullet and exchange the price of dismissal and punishment for a ten-day deadline, and now two days have passed, and eight days later is the time node, and the hope and burden fall on the new chief arrester Liu Changqing.

Liu Hao wondered in his heart, it stands to reason that the Muwang Mansion should be heavily guarded, even flies can't fly in, why is a big living person gone?

The Muwang Mansion is built in a place near the mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery and fresh air, which is an excellent place for health preservation. The whole palace building is magnificent, and the red bricks and blue tiles are imprinted in the green trees and pines, which makes the environment even more quiet. The courtyard wall is tall and heavy, two zhang high, and the guards outside are five steps and one post, and one sentry in ten steps.

"He Bantou, why are you here again, and what clues are there this time?" The guards guarding the gate of the palace were familiar with He Youliang, and quipped.

He Youliang smiled embarrassedly, pointed at Liu Changqing beside him, and said, "This time, I was ordered by Lord Fuzun to bring the newly appointed President Liu to inspect the scene, hoping to find some clues." ”

The guards looked at the young Liu Changqing, their eyes were full of disbelief, such a young chief catcher, what experience does he have?

It can be seen that the young man's outfit is indeed the head catcher, "You wait a minute, I'll go to the head of Yunshan." ”

After a while, a white-haired old man came to the gate, and He Youliang hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I've seen the head of Yunshan." Liu Changqing also arched his hand as a gift.

The old man looked at Liu Changqing and said, "You are the new chief catcher, come with me, I hope this time you won't disappoint our palace!"

Liu Changqing and He Youliang hurriedly followed, the old housekeeper didn't look young, but his legs and feet were very sharp, and the two of them took a big step to catch up. The old housekeeper led the two to the boudoir of the county lord of Chuchu and left, leaving the two to investigate alone. Along the way, the old housekeeper behaved very calmly, and there was no sadness as Liu Changqing imagined, it stands to reason that the young lady is missing, as a servant should be very concerned and concerned, the maids and servants in their house do not have any grief, could it be that there are many young ladies in the royal house, one more is not more, one less is not less?

The situation that can be found from He Youliang's mouth is that there is only one county lord in the Muwang Mansion, and the princess and the princess regard them as pearls in their palms, and they are afraid of falling off in their hands, and they are afraid of melting in their mouths, and they are very delicate. If this is the case, the behavior of the maid and the servant is incomprehensible.

"Mr. Liu, this is the boudoir of the county lord of Chuchu. We had surveyed many times that day, and there were no signs of prying from the outside, no signs of fighting, everything was intact, not even the windows or the ground outside had any footprints. He Youliang introduced.

Liu Changqing carefully watched the county lord's boudoir, the boudoir was a suite, the outside was the maid's bedroom, and the inside was the county lord's bedroom. As soon as Liu Changqing came in, he smelled a faint fragrance, which was extremely good, Liu Changqing couldn't help but sniff it deeply, this is an extremely precious musk, and there is another elegant fragrance mixed in it, I don't know what it is.

The bed in the lord's bedroom was flat, the pink gauze tent hung down, and the breeze blew like thousands of girls dancing. The bronze mirror on the dresser and the pollen box were all placed, and when they were opened, it seemed that the county lord was applying makeup and disappeared. As He Youliang said, there was really no sign at the scene, everything was so natural.

"Brother He, you go and call the county lord's maid, I have something to ask. Liu Changqing said to He Youliang.

"I'm afraid this won't work, because on the second day of the county lord's disappearance, Lord Mu killed the county lord's maid in a fit of rage!" He Youliang replied.

"Ah! How can this be done? Isn't the prince careless of human life?" Liu Changqing was taken aback, a living life was beaten to death, and the prince probably did not have such a right.

"In the palace, the prince is the sky! Who dares to care? To the outside world, he said that he had died of a sudden illness, and he gave twenty taels of silver to the maid's family. ”

Liu Changqing was even more strange in his heart, the prince lost his own daughter, and he didn't look for his daughter first, but he took a very important witness to vent and lost important clues, which is not logical!

"Then have you ever asked the county lord where he often goes, such as whether he likes to worship Buddha and so on, or if there are any good sisters and girlfriends, and when have they met the county lord recently?" Liu Changqing asked again.
