Chapter 518 Murder
"Old Liu, send someone to follow Wei Shuliang.
Wait until this turmoil passes before sending him on the road. "
The door of the backyard.
A fierce light flashed in Li Jing's eyes.
With his temperament of vengeance, how could he seriously let Wei Shuliang go.
If he hadn't been in trouble now, he would have killed him just now.
As for Wei Shuliang's father, Wei Zheng, he never seemed to take it seriously.
After all, a gentleman can be deceived, even a hypocrite.
……
The next day.
Feng Shu, the magistrate of Chang'an County stretched his waist, and waved the round fan in his hand leisurely.
Compared with the folding fans that have become popular in Chang'an recently, he prefers the round fan with a bit of makeup.
After all, what is good at the top must be effective at the bottom.
There are Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin... these big figures who are afraid of their wives as examples, how many of the capital officials in the Zhenguan Dynasty were not afraid of their wives?
Therefore, even if Feng Shu liked the courtesan of the brothel, he could only hide it in his heart and miss him silently.
"grown ups!
grown ups!
No, something big happened! "
Feng Shu was in a daze when he suddenly heard a thunderous bluff.
Then he opened his eyes very dissatisfied, looked at Liu An with an anxious expression, and reprimanded him: "As a yamen servant, you should be calm when things happen, how can you behave in a panic!"
"I am disrespectful in my humble position, please forgive me, my lord."
Liu An hastily clasped his fists in worship.
Feng Shu snorted calmly, looking like a teachable child.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Liu An shrank his neck when he heard the words, and clasped his hands again in response: "My lord.
There's a big crime in town—a murder! "
"Um?!
Murder! ! ! "
Feng Shu's sleepiness disappeared, and he said with a headache: "Your Majesty has always loved the people like a son, but this murder case is really troublesome.
However, my Chang'an County has a vast jurisdiction, so it is inevitable that one or two people will die.
Thinking about it, His Majesty is also a sensible person, so he will not punish me too much for this. "
"But my lord...
The deceased was not an ordinary person, but Wei Shuliang, the son of an admonishing doctor Wei Zheng! "
"Pfft~
cough cough..."
"What did you say?!"
Liu An said nothing.
Feng Shu suddenly turned over and jumped up.
If it is an ordinary family, he can still use excuses to evade.
Even the son of an ordinary official, he has excuses to escape.
But who is Wei Zheng? !
That is the ruthless person who accused Li Shimin face to face, and he is the number one troll in the Tang Dynasty in Li Jing's mouth.
Once it falls into his hands, the rest of his life may be coming to an end soon.
"quick!
Summon manpower and start immediately!
Don't let that old man Wei Zheng find fault! "
"Follow your orders!"
……
After a cup of tea.
Under the personal leadership of Feng Shu, dozens of yamen servants rushed straight to the brothel in the city.
Feng Shu wants to come.
For the sake of his dedication, Wei Zheng should not place the blame on him.
After all, no one knows whether Wei Zheng, who has suffered the pain of losing his son, will take off his mask in a fit of rage.
Facing this eloquent powder keg, he dared not slack off in the slightest.
"What the hell happened?
How could this Wei Shuliang be killed for no reason? "
After walking for a mile, Feng Shu just thought of asking about the case.
Liu An thought about it carefully, and said close to him, "Return to your lord.
It is said that Wei Shuliang did not return all night yesterday, and spent the whole night drinking and having fun in Yihong Courtyard.
At noon today, the servant girl went in to clean it, only to find that he had lost all breath and had been dead for a long time. "
"How long did you die?!"
Feng Shu frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Hmph!
Wei Shuliang is dead, how could the whore who drank with him not know?
It seems that there is no need to investigate this case again, it must be that prostitute who saw the money! "
Liu An curled his lips secretly when he heard the words, and reminded with a smile: "My lord.
It is said that the prostitute was poisoned by the incense and is still in a coma.
Presumably the culprit must have stunned the five people with incense before sneaking into the room and killing them. "
"Five people?!
Gee!
This doctor Wei has raised a good son! "
Feng Shu smacked his lips enviously, obviously not thinking about the case.
I think back then when he was not married, he was as reckless as Wei Shuliang.
"In that case, let's find out if Wei Shuliang has any enemies recently.
It took so much thought to kill only one person, the murderer must have a deep hatred for him. "
Liu An scratched his head when he heard the words, and said in his ear, "My lord.
According to the report from the yamen servant who went out to investigate the case, Mr. Wei did have a conflict with someone yesterday.
It is said that there was a fight between the two parties, and Mr. Wei was almost shot to death on the spot. "
"Humph!
In this case, why are you still following me here, why don't you hurry up and get someone!
If you accidentally let the thief run away, you can see how I will deal with you. "
Feng Shu's face was stunned, as if he was possessed by an adult Di Renjie.
Liu An felt a headache when he saw it, but he didn't dare to hide it anymore.
"grown ups.
It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who clashed with Mr. Wei yesterday!
You let the humble official go to get people, and the humble official dare not go!
And even if the lard of the lowly job is fooled, the lowly job at the gate of the palace can't get in either! "
"Plop~"
Feng Shu heard that his feet were soft, and he fell to the ground without any image.
But he didn't seem to notice it, he just mechanically turned his head to look at Liu An.
"What did you say?
The one who clashed with Wei Shuliang was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Is there any evidence? "
"Have!"
Liu An stepped forward to support Feng Shu, nodded and said, "The servant of the Wei Mansion saw it with his own eyes, so I think there is nothing wrong with it."
"Damn!
Why didn't you say it earlier!
Hurry up!
The official is not seriously injured today, so go back to the yamen to recuperate! "
Feng Shu turned around suddenly when he heard the words, greeted the yamen servant, turned around and ran to the county yamen.
If it was someone else, he might investigate it.
But who is Li Jing?
Commonly known as the scourge of evildoers who must be repaid.
Wei Shuliang offended him and was able to survive until that night by luck, which is already regarded as God's mercy.
But what if you know who the murderer is?
He is not a stunned young man who has just entered the official career.
It is necessary to know that justice and axioms only exist when the identities of both parties are equal.
If one of them has a noble status, the other has already been labeled as a perpetrator, even if he is a victim.
If he went to the scene of the crime at this moment, he would definitely be caught by Wei Zheng and treated as a leader and a scapegoat.
He is not a fool, how could he send him to serve as Wei Zheng's spearman.
It's just that he still doesn't know one thing.
Li Jing's actions have always been righteous, and he will even send out people after the incident.
But now, the capital seems to be too quiet.
Did all the storytellers under Li Jing collectively ask for leave today?
……
"Old Liu, didn't you agree to send him on the road later?
You acted so hastily, it really made me very passive! "
East Palace.
Mingde Hall.
Li Jingman casually teased.
He naturally knew that Liu Rong would not make decisions without authorization, and Wei Shuliang's murder must have been done by others.
But what does this have to do with him?
Someone took action to kill his enemy, why should he delve into this person's intentions.
Even if this person wanted to kill someone with a knife, it would provoke a conflict between him and Wei Zheng.
But even Li Lizhi couldn't be fooled by such clumsy tricks, he didn't believe Wei Zheng, an old traitor, would be fooled by him.
"Your Highness!
Don't play if the situation is urgent, His Majesty ordered that the case be solved within three days.
If there is anything wrong, I will take the blame on you! "
Liu Rong was dejected and before he could speak, Liu Jishu reminded him anxiously.
Hearing this, Li Jing sneered, curled his lips and said contemptuously: "Isn't it just that my palace plotted against Li Gaoming, so the father is so persistent.
If Bengong scares the little fat man again, wouldn't the emperor want to beat up Bengong himself? "
"Ouch!
Your Highness!
Before the big event, you can stop for a while. "
Liu Jishu had a headache on his face.
Li Jing smiled slightly, waved his hand calmly and said, "Why should you care about small things.
Since the thief wants Ben Gong to fight Wei Zheng, Ben Gong will help him.
As long as you have enough bait, do you still have to worry about the fish not taking the bait? "
