Wei Sijia was still discussing with Yang Wei and Yang Zaisi how to help Wei Shi deal with Su Youzhi, when the attack and killing came.
I have said before: Yang Zaisi is a court broker. He was active in various mansions and around various officials of the imperial court, and he was like a fish in water and prosperous.
And what about Yang Youzhi, who also has the surname Yang, but has no relationship with Yang Zaisi? He is a chamberlain eunuch who is born with great strength and prone to killing, and his allegiance is to the prince.
Yang Youzhi had always been very wary and wary of Webster, which made Webster feel uncomfortable all over. Therefore, Wei Sijia, who was deeply trusted by Webster, invited Yang Zaisi to discuss a way to win over Yang Youzhi.
He didn't want to get rid of Yang Youzhi.
After all, Yang Youzhi won the emperor's heart and was a strong supporter of the East Palace.
If Webster wants to be an emperor, he must first ascend the throne. At this point, Webster's mind was clear.
In other words: Although Webster and the prince each have "ghost" conceptions, they also have the same ambition and must first win the throne.
At this time, Webster would not be stupid enough to demolish the foundation of the prince's wall first. Otherwise, they would both end up together.
Webster could only win over Yang Youzhi. Otherwise, she will worry that the other party will become an obstacle to her ascendancy in the future.
If such a terrible person becomes her resistance, she will definitely not get what she wants.
But while Wei Sijia was still fighting with Yang Zaisi, she only heard the sound of killing.
There was great chaos in the Duke's mansion.
That night, there was really chaos everywhere. It frightened most of the people in the city who heard the commotion and quickly closed their doors, blew out candles and pulled out wax, and were on guard and trembling with fear.
The capital city is prosperous, lively and at the feet of the emperor. But also because we are at the feet of the Emperor, various unexpected situations may occur at any time.
People and dignitaries in the metropolis who have experienced various incidents are very frightened and worried when they hear unusual noises.
I am afraid that I will be harmed by the fish in the pond.
Especially the dignitaries, they were still afraid that His Majesty might suddenly issue some secret order, which would cause such a big commotion tonight.
Your Majesty is the only one who can dispatch such a large number of troops, right?
But I didn't hear the sounds of soldiers running on the street or shouting for a ban. Only those screams echoed through the long silent night.
The metropolis tonight is destined to be sleepless.
…
Di Ying, who was still in the canyon outside Chungzhuang Village in Luozhou, also stayed up all night.
He stood by the campfire, sorting out the ideas and clues for each case one by one.
In Cangyang Village, another village separated by a mountain from Chungzhuang Village, there is also a case where it is not easy to trace the clues.
Thirteen years ago, there was a family named Wu, and everyone was killed.
Wu Yongchang’s parents, eldest brother, sister-in-law and two children, Wu Yongchang’s 14-year-old brother, Wu Yongchang’s wife and three children. A total of twelve people were all hacked to death at home.
Among them: Wu Yongchang’s wife was violated after her death.
His sister-in-law did not.
Except for the blood-stained hatchet, no other suspicious clues were found at the scene.
As a result, the case was shelved.
The Wu family is actually a big family, with many relatives scattered throughout Zhangjing County.
The official of Zhangjing County was also Wu Yongchang's uncle.
After the case happened, the relatives of the Wu family made a fuss in the state government office for a long time, but in the end they could only cry out helplessly.
Even the state government could not find out whether Wu Yongchang's family had offended anyone.
No, to be precise... Wu Yongchang's mother was friendly with everyone, but she also offended everyone.
how to say?
His mother, He, was a very fierce and fierce woman. But warm and kind. She could talk and laugh with everyone.
But he is the kind of person who will fall out whenever he wants to, and when he does, he can scold someone for eighteen generations.
Afterwards, people were still furious, but she was able to greet them cheerfully, as if nothing had happened and nothing had happened.
Such people make people feel helpless and give them a headache.
avoid? How to avoid a village or a county?
I can only greet her superficially, that's all. Not moving around much is just a means of self-preservation.
However, He is capable and enthusiastic. When someone needs help, he will definitely lend a hand.
This makes people neither close nor far away from her.
And Wu Yongchang is a very smart person.
He went around looking for business. Although it was all trivial and small business, it also made the family's life easier.
His house is the tallest, largest and most magnificent in the village.
The two-story building is built against the mountain, conspicuous and showy.
The so-called building on the mountain means carving out a large platform on the highest mountain in the village, near the top of the mountain.
Then a house was built on this platform. Behind the house is the mountain wall, and the interval between them is the natural patio.
Standing on the verandah on the second floor of his house, I really felt like I had a panoramic view of the mountains and the scenery.
Also because the Wu family has many relatives with good abilities, and Wu's father himself is smart, the official road leading from the county to Cangyang Village winds around the Wu family, and then around. Go around to another county.
This means that the number of people who can pass through the Wu family is huge and impossible to check.
"Sir, could it be that the murder was due to money?"
Xie Jing glanced at the case in the master's hand and started to stir the charcoal while asking.
Inside, there were a few sweet potatoes that he had just buried.
When Di Ying heard Xie Jing's question, he sighed softly and replied: "I can't tell. The record in the case is relatively concise. It only said that the Wu family was disturbed and property was lost.
But to what extent is the chaos exactly? How much property was lost? I couldn't record it in detail.
The government also speculated that the murder was due to financial reasons. After all, if he killed his whole family, and no one could find such a big grudge after all the searches, he was just doing it for money. "
"Then these thieves are too brave, right? In the early morning, it's time for every household to get up and make breakfast. Everyone in the Wu family should also be up, right?
Are you going to kill someone? Or next to the official road? Could it be that a passerby gave me a favor because I was short of travel expenses? How many people must be the murderers? "
Xie Jing curled his lips and then asked.
After hearing this, Di Ying also lightly twirled her fingers.
While thinking about it, he replied: "I can't say. But I speculate that there should be only one murderer, and he is a person from Cangyang Village."
Xie Jing: "...Do you want to be so miraculous? You can deduce so many things based on this ridiculously simple case record?"
"(Chili peppers, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. have not appeared in real history and have not yet appeared. However, this book is fictional and can be made up randomly, so...hehe, borrow it.)"
