Beiping, Beizhen Fusi;
Tang Jianqiu managed Zhao Prison as usual and sent people to inspect the suspicious person.
It's not an exaggeration to say it's a machine, because it does the same but not completely similar things every day.
Tang Jianqiu has long been accustomed to it, and naturally he will not be merciful towards prisoners who are full of evildoers.
Just when he was about to interrogate the prisoner, a guard in uniform hurriedly came to report:
"Master Tang, General Shen, please come over."
The captain who came to report put on the most respectful side.
He bowed and waited for Tang Jianqiu to give orders;
An idea flashed through Tang Jianqiu's mind. He was no stranger to such a righteous and decisive woman.
"She's looking for me? But what happened?"
Tang Jianqiu clearly remembered that she indeed sent someone to find him at this time in his previous life, but at that time he did not take it to heart and instead asked Zhao Jingzhong to handle the matter.
Of course, you can't act too normal. If you say there is nothing wrong, people will be suspicious.
The captain clasped his fists and replied with great disbelief: "It is said that Vice General Zhou committed suicide with a knife in the barracks. He is now dead. General Shen asked you to go over and investigate."
"What! Suicide?"
Tang Jianqiu stood up from his seat with a sudden movement, his eyes filled with shock.
What Tang Jianqiu couldn't understand was that the deceased was the deputy general, not someone else.
Maybe others would have believed it, but the person who died was the deputy general.
It is said that this man was very skilled in martial arts, so how could he die suddenly in the barracks for no reason? It's really weird.
"Okay, I, the governor, will go over and take a look."
Tang Jianqiu decided to handle it personally, and could no longer be manipulated by others as stupidly as in his previous life.
"Sir, I will take you there." The captain on the side looked flattering, hoping to take this opportunity to attract Tang Jianqiu's attention.
Tang Jianqiu walked out of Beizhen Fusi wearing a red python robe.
Not long after, Tang Jianqiu led people to the Beijing Camp in Beijing.
Speaking of the Beijing Camp, one or two of its origins are worth mentioning. It was from the early years of Hongwu that the country was designated to train soldiers to defend the capital, and the Beijing Camp was set up.
After Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, while observing the old Hongwu system, he also expanded the Beijing camp from the original 48 guards to 72 guards.
After that, three major battalions were gradually established: the Fifth Army Camp, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Camp. These three battalions were collectively called the Beijing Army or the Beijing Camp.
The five military camps, namely Zhongjun, Zuoye, Youye, Zuoshao and Youshao, were renamed to the Dudu Mansion;
After arriving at the barracks, Tang Jianqiu saw the female general and bowed to her without hesitation.
"I've met General Shen."
Tang Jianqiu's cold eyes looked at the woman with a rainbow-like momentum and flying hair.
Shen Hongluan is as graceful as a frightened giant and graceful as a swimming dragon. She holds a spear and guards the military camp.
She was stunned for a moment, then showed the majesty that a female general should have, and raised her hand to signal: "Master Tang, there is no need to be polite."
"Thank you, General."
After saying that, Tang Jianqiu put down his fist-clasping hand, followed closely by several Jin Yi guards behind him.
Tang Jianqiu looked serious, and then looked at Shen Hongluan: "It is said that Vice General Zhou committed suicide for no reason. I wonder if the general knows why he committed suicide?"
Shen Hongluan shook her head. If she had known about it, she would not be so distressed.
"The general doesn't know this, and he has no evidence. I really don't understand why Vice General Zhou committed suicide."
Tang Jianqiu bowed and said: "General Shen, don't worry, please give me some time."
"please."
Shen Hongluan made a welcoming gesture to express welcome.
After that, Tang Jianqiu waved to the surrounding Jinyi guards to investigate the deceased.
Tang Jianqiu circled around the body, and then squatted down to observe the wounds on the body of the deceased.
The blade of the knife penetrated the chest from the front, but the deceased showed no signs of struggle, and the only wound was this one.
That’s the weird thing about it;
Seeing the appearance of the corpse, Tang Jianqiu had already guessed at least seventy-eight points, but he didn't have enough confidence to prove it at the moment, so he concluded:
"Back to General Shen, it seems that this was no accident. Although this man died under his own sword, he did not commit suicide."
Tang Jianqiu stood up as he spoke, and then looked at Shen Hongluan.
After hearing what Tang Jianqiu said, Shen Hongluan became a little curious.
Although Shen Hongluan had heard of Tang Jianqiu's reputation in the military camp, she was surprised that she could tell at a glance whether he committed suicide.
"Oh? How does Mr. Tang know?"
Tang Jianqiu took Shen Hongluan to examine them together, then walked around in a circle, and explained the reason: "You can judge the strength of the knife from his fatal wound.
He should have been killed by a knife when he was caught off guard or had no resistance. "
The whole audience was shocked when these words came out. Even though they were martial arts practitioners, they didn't notice this. It was really embarrassing.
"So he knew the murderer?"
Shen Hongluan made a bold guess. How could he be killed without knowing it if he was not an acquaintance?
Tang Jianqiu just shook his head. It was difficult for him to make a decision before the results were clear.
"As for the truth, we don't know yet. There is currently no solid evidence to make a conclusion. The official is using a deductive method. Therefore, the official thinks that the murderer should be someone from the camp."
Hearing this, Shen Hongluan's beautiful eyes flashed with confusion, and then she asked Tang Jianqiu: "How can you see it?"
"May I ask General, how is Vice General Zhou's martial arts?"
Tang Jianqiu never asked useless questions. The reason why he said this was to dig out the answer from Shen Hongluan.
In response, Shen Hongluan replied without hesitation: "Not bad, his martial arts is not weak, and he can fight with me for more than ten rounds."
Tang Jianqiu was not surprised when he heard this, he had an answer in his heart;
"So he is an extremely ferocious warrior, so can his subordinates defeat the lieutenant general?"
Shen Hongluan said: "There are not many people who are better than him in martial arts, otherwise they would not become deputy generals."
"If his martial arts skills were not much higher, the lieutenant general would never have been killed with a knife without any precautions."
Tang Jianqiu surprised the people around him with just one sentence. The officers and soldiers in the camp admired Tang Jianqiu even more.
They were too hasty at the time to think of going there, which makes sense.
Shen Hongluan was not stupid, and he quickly understood what was going on.
"General, I understand."
After that, Tang Jianqiu asked another fatal question: "When the general learned about the death of the deputy general, did he find out the number of officers and soldiers in the camp after he arrived?"
Hearing this, Shen Hongluan looked at the deputy commander next to him.
The deputy commander understood instantly, and considering that Shen Hongluan, as a woman, might not be able to say anything, he clasped his fists and replied.
"Mr. Tang, everyone was in the barracks at the time and had not left. However, there were a few people who hurried to the latrine on the way. After a soldier went to the latrine in the middle of the night, he saw Deputy General Zhou lying on the ground."
Tang Jianqiu pondered for a moment, and then said: "It seems that this person is very clever. He can sneak into this military camp and kill people so calmly and maintain his original appearance.
Maybe this murderer is hiding among you and me. "
"Master Tang is indeed unique in his research and judgment of the case. He really wakes up the dreamer!" After hearing this, the people on the side seemed to have woken up from a dream, and seemed to have realized something.
"There are many subtleties in this that I have overlooked. Even though I am ranked in the third rank, I am not as capable as Mr. Tang in handling cases, and his eyes are not as delicate as Mr. Tang. I am really ashamed.
This general believes that this matter should be handled properly by the governor, but how do we know who the murderer is? "
This is the suspicious point of the whole case. Shen Hongluan just wants to know who the person who killed her brother is, and he must not be allowed to escape justice!
Even though he knew that it might be uncomfortable to say such words, Tang Jianqiu still said truthfully: "General Shen, Deputy General Zhou is the commander of the camp, and the people who interact with him are extremely simple.
If there is no clear motive for the crime, there will be no clues, and the case may never be solved. "
Shen Hongluan understood what Tang Jianqiu was saying and said with a hint of regret: "Even Mr. Tang finds this matter difficult to handle? Who should I turn to, general?"
She didn't know who else she could trust besides Tang Jianqiu.
Tang Jianqiu put his hands behind his back, and then told Shen Hongluan the truth:
"General Shen, this town has been handling cases for many years and has handled tens of thousands of cases. Naturally, we have encountered cases that could not be solved unless new evidence was discovered."
Realizing that there was something missing, Tang Jianqiu added: "General Shen, the top priority now is to stabilize the morale of the military."
"General, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Tang!"
"General Shen, you're welcome. I will do my best."
Under Tang Jianqiu's gaze, Shen Hongluan walked out of the tent and gradually walked towards the place where the soldiers gathered.
When I saw the soldiers lined up neatly one by one, it was magnificent and mighty, like a waterfall, unstoppable!
Shen Hongluan let out a sweet shout: "Brothers! Last night, the deputy general was assassinated by a spy who sneaked into the camp and died heroically. Now the Zhending infantry is temporarily commanded by the deputy commander.
All brothers must be more vigilant and strengthen their training! In the future, everyone will strive to be the first on the battlefield, kill the enemy bravely, and avenge the lieutenant. Do you understand? "
"yes!"
The voices of the soldiers were like thunder, traveling far and wide.
Tang Jianqiu couldn't stay long, so he walked out of the tent and walked to Shen Hongluan.
Look at that pretty lady again, looking forward to the brilliance.
Her movements are as graceful as willows blowing in the wind, and her face is full of ice.
People can't help but think of: After learning the Eight Formations of Xichuan, the mandarin ducks hold military talismans in their sleeves. This is because the woman is willing to accept it, so why should the general be her husband.
As if aware that Tang Jianqiu was looking at her, Shen Hongluan raised her eyes to look at him, only to find that his gaze was different from before.
In the past, Tang Jianqiu mostly looked at her with impatience or indifference. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Tang Jianqiu's eyes had become complicated.
Not just out of debt or something else, he always felt that Tang Jianqiu was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.
"I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Tang today."
"General Shen, you don't have to be polite."
Tang Jianqiu treated everyone with an indifferent face that had nothing to do with him. He would only treat the people around him slightly better.
"Master Tang, you should be careful about the people around you. Now that you have taken the position of governor, you should understand that there will always be people who will covet your position.
Just like this group of brothers, on the surface they will obey my orders, but in fact they have strong opinions on me because of their status as women. Sometimes the people who hurt you are often the people who trust you. "
Shen Hongluan knew that saying this might be useless, but she still wanted to tell Tang Jianqiu so that she could be on guard.
Tang Jianqiu in his previous life couldn't listen to the great truths Shen Hongluan said. He just felt it was unnecessary. It wasn't until his death that he regretted not listening to her words.
Some people really don’t deserve to be cared for, because they are just white-eyed wolves who can’t get enough to eat!
Tang Jianqiu bowed and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you so much, General Shen. Tang will definitely keep it in mind!"
"Master Tang, do you think it's because they don't accept my position as general, or because they just can't see women becoming generals!"
Shen Hongluan frowned, anger flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen Tang Jianqiu's tragic death in his previous life.
"...This has been the case since ancient times. Men have the highest status, and women in the Han Dynasty have the highest status. In the Ming Dynasty, the overall status of women is not low, but they cannot go out and walk around at will.
In their eyes, women only need to support their husbands, raise children, and reproduce offspring, and they should not be exposed to the public, especially not to become military attachés. Their muscles are very indecent, and even if they become successful, it will be difficult to convince the public. "
What Tang Jianqiu said was nothing more than a criticism of those who always held the dregs of feudal ideas.
This is a constraint on women, and he always believed that Shen Hongluan deserved a better fate.
"What kind of person do you think this general is?"
Shen Hongluan was very curious. If one day she became a person who only knew how to kill and beat, would she dislike her?
"You only need to know that no matter what you look like, I will definitely marry you. That's enough."
At that moment, the wind picked up, blowing their hair, and their eyes met, as if time had frozen, and they were the only two people in the world.
The two of them just looked at each other in a daze, as if they could see the end of time and the end of the world.
He knew very well about Shen Hongluan.
There may be someone more suitable for her in this world, but he only wants her.
She is enough for this life;
"Tang Jianqiu..."
Shen Hongluan almost lost her mind. It was not until today that she realized that Tang Jianqiu did not hate her as much as she thought, but that he was not good at words.
However, regardless of the love between the children, the case is more important now, and the cause of Vice General Zhou’s death should be investigated!
