king of war

Chapter 57

Zhang Ying was furious and struggled desperately to cry out his injustice. Lu Jianxing removed his jaw in one move, making him unable to make a sound anymore.

At this time, Lu Wenzhao came out from behind and coughed a few times. Everyone looked over and said, "Just say we are investigating the case. Why are you making so much noise?"

"That...Yin Cheng, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and entertain these brothers. Be careful, let these brothers see clearly the testimony written by Wuchangbo, and don't let others say that we wrote indiscriminately."

Yin Cheng hurriedly agreed, took Zhang Ying's subordinates aside, and asked them to sign and pledge one by one.

Lu Wenzhao looked at Zhang Ying with a smile, "Master Zhang, don't worry, my third brother has always been a kind and honest person, and I will never wrongly accuse you casually."

Qin Rongshuai smiled sinisterly, "Don't worry, brother, I will make Mr. Zhang willingly sign and pledge the confession to make it a solid case."

"Yeah!" Lu Wenzhao patted him, "Just leave this small matter to the brothers. Let's talk about the case."

Yin Cheng immediately jumped up, "Master, don't worry, I will make Master Zhang explain clearly."

As he said that, Yin Cheng smiled and pulled out a sharp knife, and walked towards Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying had been in Jinyiwei for many years, but he knew the methods of Jinyiwei to extract confessions so well that he peed his pants in fright.

Qin Rongshuai frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly stopped Yin Cheng, and everyone else was taken aback, not knowing what Qin Rongshuai was going to do.

"Go find a quick towel and bring a bucket of water." Qin Rongshuai smiled slightly, "I think Master Zhang is a little thirsty, give him some water."

Lu Wenzhao also came to his senses, and immediately said, "Yin Cheng, don't make any scars, making it look like we are extorting a confession by torture. Master Zhang must confess voluntarily."

"Okay!" Yin Cheng quickly prepared everything, had someone hold Zhang Ying down, put a towel on his face, and then started to water.

When the three of them walked to the backyard, Shen Lian began to introduce the scene of the crime, "It should be two people who did it. They should have been waiting for Cui Bizhong in the restaurant before. One killed all the shopkeepers in the hotel with a knife, and the other killed Cui Bizhong with a sword. First, Cui Bizhong's tendons and hamstrings were picked off, ten fingers were broken, and then two holes were punched in the lute bone, and finally his throat was cut off with a knife."

"After committing the crime, the two walked directly over the wall from the backyard, leaving two footprints on the back wall."

Qin Rongshuai was a little strange, "Why didn't these people kill Cui Bizhong directly, but cut off the tendons and fingers first, and the murderer wanted to ask something?"

Shen Lian frowned, "Cui Bizhong came from the palace and worked in Dongchang. He knows too much. It's hard to check this line, and Dongchang won't cooperate with us."

Lu Wenzhao looked at the back wall thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Third brother, what do you think?"

Qin Rongshuai nodded, "I think we have a clue to check, and that is how did Cui Bizhong get here?"

Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian suddenly became interested, and stared at Qin Rongshuai together, "Continue talking."

"Where did Cui Bizhong come from? Did he come from his own house or from the Dongchang yamen? Has anyone seen him go out? Has anyone come to look for him? Did he come to the restaurant by appointment or was it sent by someone? "Qin Rongshuai began to talk eloquently, "He, a father-in-law from the East Factory, must not have come here on foot, so is he riding a horse or a car, and who is the driver?"

Shen Lian slapped his hands abruptly, "That's right, there is no fresh fodder in the stables of the restaurant. No one came on horseback last night. They must have been by car. I'll send someone to check right away."

Lu Wenzhao nodded with a smile, "Sure, third brother, I didn't expect you to have the ability to investigate cases."

Qin Rongshuai was a little ashamed. This is not because he has the ability. This is the clue that Pei Lun found in the investigation of the case in the original book. He just borrowed it a little.

"Wait a minute, second brother, you must ask the coachman if he has seen clearly who is in the restaurant." Qin Rongshuai said worriedly, "If Cui Bizhong came for an appointment, someone will come to greet him at the door of the restaurant, the coachman Maybe I saw that person. Even if that person is not the murderer, it has a lot to do with this case."

"How did you decide that someone would go out to greet you?" Shen Lian was a little curious.

Sweat broke out on Qin Rongshuai's forehead. This... how to make this up?
He is out of words.

Luckily, Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian didn't ask any further questions, and the three of them returned to the lobby, where Yin Cheng hurriedly greeted them, "My lord, Zhang Ying has been recruited, this is his confession, all of them have been signed and signed, and the testimony of other brothers has also been prepared." ”

Lu Wenzhao nodded, drew out his knife, walked up to Zhang Ying, cut Zhang Ying's neck with one blow, and said loudly: "The traitor Zhang Ying tried to assassinate Shangguan, but resisted arrest with a weapon, and was killed on the spot."

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect Lu Wenzhao to act so viciously.

Lu Wenzhao looked around the audience and found no objection from the crowd, so he nodded in satisfaction, "Finish the file of the case, and I will report the case to Mr. Xu in person."

As soon as Lu Wenzhao and Qin Rongshuai returned to Fusi, Beizhen, they saw a palace eunuch waiting for them.

"The prince's oral instructions." The young eunuch stood in front of Lu Wenzhao and whispered, "The prince said that Mr. Lu is very loyal and efficient in his work. His Highness is very satisfied. He knows all the grievances you have suffered, so you must hurry up and get the job done. "

As he spoke, the little eunuch took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and put it in Lu Wenzhao's hand, "This is a gift from the Crown Prince to you, Master Lu. You must keep it."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness. Your Highness is a thousand years old." Lu Wenzhao looked excited, with a look of gratitude and wished he could not immediately put on a posture, "Your Highness has shown me a kindness, even if I am broken into bones, I can't repay it. In case, please report to Your Highness, my father-in-law. You should do your best to serve His Highness the Crown Prince, and then you will die after devoting yourself to death."

After giving a red envelope to the eunuch Chuanzhi, the little eunuch left with a smile on his face.

Lu Wenzhao looked at the little eunuch's back expressionlessly, and said thoughtfully, "I heard that the emperor has been ill recently."

Qin Rongshuai's heart tightened, "How's the situation?"

"It's said that it's not very good." Lu Wenzhao sighed, "So this errand must be done quickly."

"Understood, leave this matter to me." Qin Rongshuai immediately said, "The people in the yamen are no longer available, and the second brother's subordinates may not be very reliable, so it's best to hurry up and get my people in."

"Let your people come to collect the badge tomorrow morning." Lu Wenzhao said lightly, then turned around and went to report the case to Xu Xianchun.

Xu Xianchun didn't mention Zhang Ying's murder, but kept praising Lu Wenzhao for his ability in handling affairs, insisting on dragging him to stay for dinner.

Shen Lian led people to handle the case, and Lu Wenzhao was left to socialize again. It was almost dark at this time, and Qin Rongshuai had to find food by himself after a busy day.

When passing by a food stall, he bought a lotus leaf chicken and some braised snacks. Qin Rongshuai hummed a little tune and walked home.

As he walked, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if someone was following him. He didn't panic, pretending not to notice, and continued walking back to his home.

After entering the house, he lit the candles, put the bought lotus leaf chicken marinade on the table, and began to boil the wine, listening to the movement outside while eating.

Unexpectedly, the follower of him was very patient, quietly lurking around without moving.

After a long time, the lights in the house went out.

A few black figures suddenly jumped out of the secluded alley outside the house, and the lead one made a gloomy voice, "See clearly."

"See clearly, he is the only one, no one else."

"Tell the brothers to be quick when they do it."

"Don't worry." One of the subordinates around gave a strange smile, "I will greet this Lord Qianhu in a while."

"This man is from the frontier army. He must be very capable. You should be more careful."

"Boss, you are worrying too much. No matter how high your kung fu is, you are still alone. With so many of us, are you afraid that you won't be able to win?"

"Well, let's go."

A few black shadows jumped over the wall of Qin Rongshuai's house with agility, and opened the courtyard door lightly. In an instant, more than a dozen men in black rushed into the courtyard, and even a row of figures squatted on the roof.

These people tiptoed to the door and listened carefully. Seeing that there was no movement in the room, they gently pried open the door bolt with a knife and rushed into the room.

As soon as these people rushed into the inner room, a dazzling light suddenly lit up. The light was so bright that it was like a scorching sun, and the people in black covered their eyes one after another.

Oops?

Counted?
What is so bright?

The people in black were shocked, and they were about to turn around and run when they heard Qin Rongshuai shout, "Fuck, how do you adjust the brightness of this searchlight?"
