The presence of these corpses means that another team of envoys has been captured by the people from the Tiger Flag.
This tester couldn't understand why the other party actually asked them to take away all the corpses. In addition, there were actually two survivors.
On the way back, Shi Baihu felt a headache when he looked at the corpse pulled out of the car and the two injured assassins sitting in the car.
For him, these are hot potatoes.
It would have been fine if he had brought him back with him as an ordinary assassin, but he happened to be one of the envoys who lived in the post house. The identity of the assassin was obviously unusual.
At dawn, news spread throughout Nanjing that assassins had attacked the residence of the Tiger-Character Banner envoy.
It was also reported that the assassins were from another team of envoys.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fan Wencheng held the drumstick in his hand and beat the injustice drum outside the government office.
When the drum of injustice is sounded, officials must go to court to investigate the case.
Soon, Fan Wencheng was brought to the lobby.
When the prefect saw Fan Wencheng coming to the court, he frowned and immediately understood that he had encountered a problem.
Without touching the gavel, he asked directly: "Why does Mr. Fan play the drum?"
"Your Majesty, just last night, seven of my soldiers from the Qing Dynasty were killed, and two others were injured. As an envoy from the Qing Dynasty, I came to the Ming Dynasty to seek peace between the two parties, but my life was murdered. I also ask the governor to make the decision for me to avoid misunderstandings between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and to give justice to the deceased so that the deceased can rest in peace." After saying this, Fan Wencheng bowed deeply to the magistrate under the mirror.
After hearing these words, the prefect's forehead muscles collapsed.
He knew it would be troublesome, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.
He didn't need to think too hard to guess that those who dared to attack the Qing envoy team were definitely not simple, at least not someone he, the prefect, could easily decide.
But the case still needs to be tried. At least the cause and effect must be known before the case can be handed over to the higher authorities and left to the people above to have a headache.
Thinking of this, he coughed and asked, "Since there are witnesses, would you dare to ask Mr. Fan if he asked the two injured people who did it?"
In his opinion, since there are survivors, this case will not be too complicated. At most, the people behind it will be more complicated.
"I also asked the injured." Fan Wencheng said, "I heard from the injured that it was too dark at the time and they didn't see clearly who did it, but the person who did it used a firecracker, whether it was the injured or the injured. The deceased had gunshot wounds on their bodies.”
The prefect frowned and asked, "Have you brought the body of the deceased here?"
"The body was handed over to the director of the post house, who has already taken it away and made arrangements. If the governor wants to do an autopsy, he can send someone to find the director of the post house." Fan Wencheng said.
Thinking of the identity of the person in front of him, the prefect didn't bother to blame the other person for not bringing the body, and he didn't want to pursue this trivial matter. At most, it would be more troublesome and let him have a hard time.
"Where are the two injured? Bring them to court!"
Since the corpse was not brought, the prefect must first ask the two injured people who survived.
Fan Wencheng said: "The injuries on the two injured people are too serious. I have asked doctors to go to the post house for treatment. If the governor wants to ask for evidence, he can send someone to the post house."
The prefect's face drooped when he heard this.
As the owner of the suffering, he didn't bring any evidence or witnesses, so he, the prefect, didn't take him seriously.
Just when the prefect was hesitating whether to send someone to the post house, he saw someone behind the door next to him waving to him eagerly.
The prefect knew that something was going on, so he said to Fan Wencheng: "Mr. Fan will go back for now. I will send someone to the post house to inquire and verify the situation soon. If anyone dares to murder the envoy team, I will definitely give justice to Mr. Fan." .”
"Thank you for your hard work, Master." Fan Wencheng thanked him.
Complaining is only his first step. Next, he will find more allies to help him put pressure together.
After watching Fan Wencheng leave, the prefect got up and walked to the next room.
"What's wrong? Didn't you see that I'm reviewing the case? There's something we can't talk about until the case is over." The prefect said with an unhappy look on his face.
The person waving was a staff member of the prefect.
He ignored the complaints from the prefect and said hurriedly: "Prefect, this case is a hot potato and cannot be tried. It is best to push it out and hand it over to someone else!"
"What's going on with this case?" The prefect rarely saw his staff so panicked, and his heart immediately sank.
The staff informed the prefect of the rumors in detail.
"Are you saying that Fan Wencheng really wants to catch a thief?" The magistrate's eyes widened. The other party's shamelessness was beyond his expectation.
The staff member said: "It's hard to say whether the thief is shouting to catch the thief. This kind of thing happened just after the envoys of the Tiger Character Banner arrived. There must be problems with the envoys on both sides. No matter who is right or wrong about this kind of thing, your Majesty, you will do it." It’s not suitable to mix in.”
"Well, you're right. I can't get involved in this matter. I have to find a way to shirk it." The prefect nodded in agreement.
Someone died in the envoy's team, and he was killed by someone from another envoy's team.
On the surface it was a problem between two teams of envoys, but secretly it was related to two different voices in the DPRK and China. It didn't matter who killed whom.
The final outcome of this case depends on which of the two different voices in the court can win. Only the winning one can determine the outcome of the case.
The prefect soon became worried again.
It is not easy to push out such a hot case.
Seeing the magistrate's appearance, the staff knew what they were worried about, and said, "Master, this case can be handed over to the magistrate. He has the support of an auxiliary minister behind him."
"It's not that simple." The prefect shook his head and said immediately, "Who in the court doesn't know that Qian Shoufu is a staunch supporter of the Northern Expedition. If you hand the case to Qu Fu Cheng, it will be like handing a knife to the other party. If people find out, they will definitely misunderstand that I have defected to the past."
The staff was speechless.
Only Fu Cheng can directly push this case to the other side. Otherwise, they can only wait for the court to send someone to take over, otherwise Ying Tianfu can only directly try the case.
After the magistrate stood and thought for a while, he said: "Although we want to push the case out, we still need to find out the whole story before pushing it out. Otherwise, if someone asks me, I will not be able to tell the reason, which will also be troublesome."
The more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved. Being soaked in shit so early in the morning made me sick.
"This case shouldn't be complicated. The student will arrange for someone to find out the whole story, but you, Master, need to make more preparations. Although Fan Wencheng has left, there is no guarantee that he will not come back again. If the case is not solved, the matter cannot be completely over. ." The staff said to the prefect.
