Chapter Ninety-Nine: Solve the case quickly
One of them was shot in the chest and fell on his back with a scream of "ahhh
The soldiers immediately panicked and carried out assassination in the Imperial Commander's Office. I have never heard of it for decades since the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Finally, the captain on duty was clever, and dragged the three people into the house in a hurry. There was no chance for Ji Meng to shoot a second crossbow arrow at all.
In fact, Ju Meng did not guess wrong, this courtyard is indeed the courtyard of Zhidu's office and residence, and Zhidu himself is also in this courtyard, and being able to find this place in a short period of time has shown that Ju Meng's assassination level is superb. It's just that he didn't expect that Zhi Du had a quirk and didn't like to sleep in the main room. Zhi Du is a very strange person, and a very important point is reflected in the fact that his behavior is often beneficial to ordinary people.
I don't know for what reason, Zhi Du is at home or in the government office. He never rested in the main room, and in his words, he couldn't sleep in the main room. When Ju Meng came to this courtyard, Zhi Du was lying in the east wing and falling asleep. It was also strange to Meng for his negligence, he only saw two soldiers standing at the door of the main room. But he didn't notice that there were also a few soldiers standing on either side of the wing, and he thought that they were just night patrol sentry posts.
Sometimes a small oversight can lead to total failure. This small mistake of the drama Meng made his efforts tonight to be undone.
The Imperial Governor's Office has become a mess, and some people actually dare to commit murder in the Imperial Governor's Office, the highest judicial yamen in the country. How bold is this, the Han Dynasty has gone through several dynasties since the founding of Gaozu, which is something that has never been done. All the soldiers were dragged from their sleep, and the court lieutenant's office was full of soldiers with torches.
The place where Ju Meng was hiding was surrounded by more than 100 soldiers. The drama Meng saw that he couldn't escape for a few days. I just didn't do anything, and shot a few crossbow arrows to smash the crossbow. He pulled out the bull's ear and wiped it off his neck. He was in a good position, and he cut the artery with a single stroke. As soon as his body went limp, he rolled down the ridge of the roof.
Zhi Du had just rushed out of the house with his clothes on, and he was still greeting people in his mouth.
"Hurry up and check on the King of Linjiang, and surround the courtyard where the King of Linjiang is imprisoned, and you will not be allowed to go without the warrant of your own official."
At this time, he was most concerned about the king of Linjiang, if something happened to this kid in the Tingwei Office. Then he was in big trouble, and Zhi Du hurriedly called someone to take care of the courtyard of Liu Rong, the king of Linjiang.
He was snorting loudly, and suddenly a person fell from the roof. He had a bull-eared knife in his hand, and blood was gushing out from the wound on his neck. Fell to the ground and shook constantly. glanced at Zhidu, who was surrounded by guards. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and he didn't move.
"The people who came gathered the corpse of the thief and made a strict inquest. Go to the roof to find any relics, they are all old prisons, and I don't need to teach you. Also, order someone to search carefully to check if the thief has any accomplices. ”
Zhi Du looked at the corpse on the ground. Speaking to the people around you. Immediately someone was looking for a ladder. Go to the roof and survey. Zhidu didn't look at the corpses on the ground. strode towards the courtyard where Liu Rong was.
Liu Rong's house has only one futon in addition to a floor mat. Zhidu didn't even prepare an oil lamp for Liu Rong. The torches of the soldiers lit up the whole room, and Liu Rong lay lazily on the bed. I saw Zhi Du come in. Immediately one rolled over and stood up. His eyes stared at Zhi Du in a daze, and his body trembled a little.
At this time, if you bring troops to your own place, do you want to ...... yourself Liu Rong didn't dare to think about it, so he just hid in the corner.
Zhidu was relieved when he saw that Liu Rong was fine, and suddenly something on the ground attracted Zhidu's attention. It was half a bun, and when I looked up, I saw that there was still a little stuffing on the wall.
"Did the people from the Yun family send food?"
Zhi didn't say anything, and asked the guard with a cold face.
"Back to Lord Lieutenant, the people of the Yun family have already sent someone to urge before they come."
Zhi Du walked to the front of the bun and picked up the half bun with his hand. The return hand slammed into the guard captain's face.
"What the is this, if something happens to King Linjiang, you're going to die. You're fucking going to have people bring food in, are you living enough? ”
"Slap" Zhi Du became more and more angry the more he spoke, and he shook his hand and gave the captain a mouthful. The lieutenant was scornful, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Seal this room for me, put a mouse without me, and I'll give you a scar the size of a bowl." Zhidu roared angrily, and the guards hurried to find the planks. It didn't take long for a clanging sound to be heard all around. All the windows were nailed shut from the outside, and this time not even a fly could fly in.
Liu Rong was so frightened that he shrank in the corner of the wall and trembled, Zhi Du glanced at it and turned back to the guards and said, "Check your people carefully, and find out the people who sent the food to Lieutenant Ben." If you don't find out tomorrow morning, then you don't want to be a lieutenant. ”
When the sun rose over the horizon, the court office that had been chaotic all night finally stopped. There was a human head hanging in front of the door of the court lieutenant's office, and the bloody facial features were indescribably distorted, and at first glance, it was that he had suffered great pain before being executed. This guy is the one who gave Liu Rong the buns, Liu Rong didn't expect that just half of the buns he ate could make people feel different. Dou Ying's inside line in the Tingwei Office was also cut off.
Zhi Du looked at the confession in front of him, and then looked at the fragments of the crossbow on the desk. Although the drama Meng was very broken, the people of the Tingwei Office still found many fragments in the corners. It is almost possible to restore this broken crossbow.
On the back of the arbalist, there is a tiger-shaped rune, small but clear. A smile appeared at the corner of Zhidu's mouth, and the smile on the zombie's face was more ugly than crying. The subordinates of the surrounding Imperial Lieutenant Office all fought a cold war, and every time Zhi Du laughed like this, some people were going to be unlucky. I don't know who is so unlucky today, the blood in the yard has not been washed yet. I've already killed a person this morning, and I don't know if the lieutenant will kill someone else.
"Come on, take these two things. The official is going to Weiyang Palace. ”
Weiyang Palace, Chengming Palace.
Liu Qi knew the news of the overnight trouble in the Imperial Governor's Office early in the morning. Yesterday, I took the medicine of the Holy Hand of the Imperial Doctor, and finally let him sleep well. I didn't expect to hear such news early this morning.
Looking at the confession in front of him, and the remnant of the crossbow.
"Ahem, ahem...... Yes...... cough cough cough ......"
Liu Qi coughed loudly again, and raised his hand to stop Qiandu who was walking over.
"So it has been proven that Wei Qihou did this?"
Liu Qi's face flushed, and he lay on his back and leaned on the throne. His eyes looked straight at the caisson above the main hall.
"Back to His Majesty, all the evidence points to Wei Qihou. In particular, this confession and the remains of the crossbow can be said to have both human and material evidence. And then there's ......"
Zhi Du hesitated, he didn't know what the consequences would be if he said the name.
"But it doesn't matter, I'd like to hear worse news."
"The assassin who infiltrated the Imperial Lieutenant's Office is Ju Meng."
The popularity of the heroic drama Meng is much higher than that of Zhidu, and there are many people who have seen it. It happened that there was a subordinate official in the Tingwei Bureau, who was a person from Heluo, and it was even more coincidental that he had also seen Ju Meng.
"Drama Meng, is the one who stabbed Liu Biao in Rudong Ouxing? Okay, hide in Nanshan all day. Drinking and having fun with some strange people from the three mountains and five mountains, I really think he is a free man. This is really a biting dog that doesn't bark, and it makes such a big noise for me without making a sound. ”
"Qi Xià, it has been ascertained that Meng infiltrated the Yun family and killed one of the Yun family's servants. After changing the clothes of the servants, he entered the court office with the two servants who fetched food for the king of Linjiang. Kill two more officers and change their costumes again. lurking in the courtyard of the lower officer, intending to assassinate the official, fortunately, the body was found by the patrol sergeant, and a warning signal was issued in time. But the minister's scribe was still assassinated by Ju Meng.
The minister thought that it would definitely not be as simple as assassinating a scribe when Ju Meng infiltrated the court office, and I am afraid that the target of his assassination was Weichen. Now several corpses, as well as clothes, are sealed as evidence in the Imperial Governor's Office. Please also ask Your Majesty to show you how the minister should handle this case. ”
Zhi is a master of the prison, and in just a few hours, he has figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
"Wei Qihou, let it go first. He did this just for the sake of his student, and I'm afraid he still had a different mind. Then I will cut off this thought for him, and the King of Zhidu Linjiang will be disposed of in your court office. Make it secret, don't show your feet, otherwise the Queen Mother will blame her. I'm also embarrassed, you know. ”
Zhi Du was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Finally about to deal with this hot potato, His Majesty finally opened his mouth to deal with this difficult uncle.
"No, the minister will do his best to serve His Majesty."
Zhidu gave a deep salute and walked out of the Chengming Hall backwards.
"Qiandu, arrange the frame. I'm going to go to the Immortal Palace, and I've collected all these things, like a conjuring spirit. ”
Liu Qi glanced at the confession again, shook his hand and threw it on the ground.
Changle Palace, the Hall of Immortals.
"Mother, tell me how to deal with this matter. Wei Qihou actually invited the ranger to assassinate the court officials. This is the Dou family, and if you change to someone else, I'm afraid that you are already in a different place now. Today, my son came to ask my mother what she should do. If you give a word, your son will also go to appease the below. Overnight, the state's highest judicial yamen actually made such a fuss, and this spread like something like this. ”
Liu Qi sat in front of the Queen Mother and recounted Zhidu's words as they were. Waiting for the Queen Mother's reply, the people of the Dou family did not dare to move lightly, even if he was the emperor. It's up to this old lady to have the final say.
Since the emperor said it, the old body summoned Dou Ying in to ask for an understanding. If it was really him, the old man would definitely give His Majesty an explanation. (To be continued......)
