The old lady is reborn

When Li Tubo arrived, he saw a messy room and bloodstains on the floor. Thinking that this girl had just escaped from a dangerous place and was killed, and that it happened in this old house, he felt his heart sink.

Then came deep self-blame, thinking that he could have prevented all this from happening.

Just when Li Tubo was feeling upset, he suddenly saw Wei Jinshu walking out from the inner room. He was injured and walked slowly, but he was still fine after all.

Seeing Li Tubo's expression, she pointed at herself and said, "I'm still alive, but a little injured."

Li Tubo finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What happened?"

“The gangster knew who I was and brought a few people to kill me.

But the prince consort who had a big fight with you last time sent his guards to check on me and rescued me.

Both sides fought and suffered injuries. The gangster withdrew with his men. The men sent by the prince consort also left.

"Huaian, Rong Huaian?"

Wei Jinshu nodded: "It's him, Princess Anyang's consort. He didn't come, but he sent someone to come."

"He also sent a message from his guards to me, asking me to move to another place. I just thought about it and decided that it would be better for me to stay in jail for a while."

"How about that?"

"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. No matter where I live, I can't defend myself. You guys have a lot of things to do now, are you going to split your attention and assign people to protect me?

You guys, like the guards who saved me, haven't had a good night's sleep in days, right? Your eyes are red from staying up all night."

Li Tubo thought about it and realized that Ren Jun, the big boss of Jingzhao Yin, took away the two most powerful men in his team, both civil and military, and sent them to deal with the gangster killer case.

I heard that about a hundred killers were arrested in one go, and many old cases were brought to light.

Rong Huaian sent people to fill in the gap and plug the leak when his men and horses were exhausted.

After thinking about it, he really took Bai Shengxue back to "jail".

Since you are going to jail, just call me Bai Shengxue in prison.

……

Several killers who were originally following Rong Huaian delayed their actions due to disagreements. Later, several gang strongholds were destroyed and even the gang boss disappeared.

After a few people thought about it, even if they killed Rong Huaian now, they would have no place to get paid, so they just left the job there.

……

On the day when refugees entered the capital, the Sixth Prince went against the flow of people all the way. He and a few others finally left the capital, but he was shocked by the spectacular tide of refugees outside the city.

Unlike the refugees in the city who were separated and blocked by roads and houses, the tide of refugees on the roads outside the city was huge.

The six kings were therefore in a state of anxiety as they were about to move forward, and a large number of royal guards suddenly appeared outside the city to maintain order.

When the Sixth Prince, who had something to hide, saw the Imperial Guards, he did not dare to go against their will so as to attract attention.

In this way, the six kings were swept up in the tide of refugees and finally ended up in a farm where they became resettled refugees.

With the idea of ​​making the best of it, the Sixth Prince and several of his followers planned to wait out this day, see the situation tomorrow and then quietly slip away.

That night, I ate porridge and bread with the refugees and slept in the resettlement greenhouses and empty houses.

Surprisingly, everyone was given a variety of quilts and blankets to cover themselves with. The owner of the manor really did his best.

The next morning, the Sixth Prince and his followers quietly got up and left the village in the morning mist, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was very tired from the previous night and many people were still half asleep.

Several people set out for the three disaster-stricken counties.

Compared to yesterday, this road was much easier to walk on, but they didn't walk far before they encountered a road post set up by the Imperial Guards. This road post was used to divert the crowd yesterday, "cutting off" the crowd for a while every once in a while.

The Sixth Prince was nervous inside, but he remained calm and used the household registration of a jeweler.

After the Royal Guards had looked at them, they called their heads over again, and the young sergeant-major looked at them and let them go.

But as soon as the six kings passed the sentry post, they sent someone to report the news.

After being missing for a day and a night without any trace, the Six Kings reappeared in the sight of their pursuers.

……

Song Ying patrolled back and forth on his three farms, dealing with various emergencies, fearing that any problem would not be handled properly, leading to conflicts and inciting riots among the refugees.

In her previous life, she remembered that the refugees were blocked outside the city at the suggestion of the disaster relief officials of the previous life.

Because of the deliberate provocation and instigation of the Sixth and Ninth Kings, and the destruction of resettlement facilities in advance, water and food were not distributed;

In addition, with the cooperation of the underworld, killers were dispatched to kill many refugees, triggering a large-scale refugee riot.

Later, they suffered successive defeats on the border and many court soldiers were killed.

Two or three years later, His Majesty, who had lost the support of the people and had no generals or army to support him, died suddenly in the palace. Then he and his children and grandchildren were all beheaded.

The six kings came to power by stepping on the corpses of countless civilians and soldiers. They did not care about human lives at home and ceded land and paid tribute to foreign countries.

The biggest regret in this life was that he failed to save His Majesty. He died from the poisoning by the Third Prince, which had never happened in his previous life. But he managed to overthrow the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince before that.

Thinking of this, Song Ying hesitated for a moment. Perhaps the poisoning of the third prince had also happened in his previous life, but it just happened earlier in this life.

Her Majesty’s sudden death in her previous life might have been the result of the Third Prince being exploited, but she just didn’t know the inside story.

Now the power of the six kings who have fled has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible for them to cooperate with the underworld, so it is difficult for them to stir up trouble.

But when she thought of the underworld, Song Ying still had a little selfish thought. Currently, the two pairs of mother and son in her village both use the household registration of the underworld.

Song Ying hoped that by taking advantage of this large-scale influx of refugees into Beijing, she could re-register the household registration of the two pairs of mother and son as refugees, allowing them to completely get rid of their identities as being from the underworld.

Song Ying was just thinking about it when the village head came to report: "Madam, the prince consort is here."

Huai'an came here to find me, what happened?

Song Ying heaved a sigh of relief after seeing his son. Huai'an came here to "slack off" with his team of guards, two flying eagles and two servants.

"There were several old cases involving the nearby farms, and the work had been completed. I saw that this place was not far from my mother's farm, so I brought my people here.

Please also ask mother to find a few rooms, nothing else to do, just let them sleep."

Song Ying hurriedly made arrangements.

After they all went to catch up on their sleep, he asked Huai'an again, "Is this appropriate?"

Huai'an said: "I have to protect my people. Even the strongest man can't hold on any longer. Eat when you need to and sleep when you need to. If there is anything wrong, I will take care of it."

"You should go to sleep for a while too. Your mother is watching you here. She will call you if anything happens."

On the other side, Ren Jun sent Huai'an out but he didn't come back, so he was about to send someone to look for him.

Zeng Chen leaned over and said, "You've used it and you know it's very useful, right? Can you lend it to me for a while?"

Ren Jun had no choice but to say, "Let's finish the cases we have on hand first."

"Once you guys are done here, won't it be the next step to go to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice?

Wasn't it unkind of you to lend Huai'an to me at that time, which meant that he couldn't take a break and had to continue working?"

Ren Jun: "Just tell me whether you will lend it or not?"

"borrow!"

After waiting for a long time without seeing Huai'an come back, Ren Jun felt that he really needed someone to look for him.

A chief clerk nearby whispered, "Madam Huguo has a manor nearby...it is also one of the resettlement sites for refugees."

Zeng Chen and Ren Jun were confused: "So what?"

"So he might have taken his people to sleep at Madam Huguo's manor."

They both shook their heads: "Huai An can't do this."

The chief clerk spread his hands and thought: If you don't want to believe it, then don't believe it. Last time during the autumn hunting, when Lord Zeng was away, he scared the suspect from Niujiagou. He looked so serious that I believed it was true.

Huai'an is very good at doing his job. He has an excellent memory and a meticulous and sharp mind.

But if Huai'an takes a different approach, no one can match him.

He is not an honest and strict person. The two adults still don't believe it.

The chief clerk could only say, "He handles the files quickly because he hardly ever has to check the records one by one. By the time we finish handling the files he transferred to us, he will probably be back."

No matter how much he didn't believe it, he was still worried about Huai'an's safety. Although he felt that it was unlikely that there was a problem with the guards around him, he still sent people to look for them nearby.

First they arrived at Song Ying's farm. Song Ying felt sorry for his son and wanted him to sleep more, so he placed the person who came to visit him in a place to rest. The person soon fell into a sweet sleep.

After three people who went to look for him had gone without returning, Huai'an suddenly came back with his team.

Zeng Chen was about to speak, but when he took a look at the files being processed and saw that there was no break, he gave up.

Huai'an sat down and began to look at the files again. Then he said "Huh", went to the chief clerk's office and found two files from fifteen years ago and ten years ago. He put them in front of Ren Jun together with the file in front of him from three years ago: "There are some problems with these three cases."

Ren Jun took a look at the first one: Fifteen years ago, a blacksmith drank too much at night and fell into a well and drowned.

This man was a heavy drinker and had fallen into a well after drinking too much before. He was seen by passers-by at that time.

Fortunately, after this man fell into the well, he either woke up from the sudden loss of balance or was awakened by the shock of the cold water after entering the water, and he struggled in the well.

Seeing this, passers-by threw down the water-drawing rope tied to the well pole, which was usually tied to a bucket for drawing water.

The man struggled around in panic and actually grabbed the rope, and was pulled up by the crowd who heard the passerby's cry for help.

But he was not so lucky the second time he fell. Maybe it was because he was too drunk or he choked on the water, but no one heard or saw him fall into the water or call for help.

His body was not salvaged until the next morning when someone came to fetch water and found what seemed to be something in the well.

Because he had fallen into a well while drunk once before, everyone initially thought this case was an accident, but the coroner's autopsy concluded that the body was thrown into the well after death.

The case had never been solved until this time when a gangster killer confessed to other cases and accused each other of the crime, bringing out a few words.

The keen interrogator discovered the clues and after continuous questioning, one of the killers finally revealed his true colors and revealed that when he first entered the business fifteen years ago, he accepted money to kill this craftsman.

He thought he was using previous examples and that his killing methods were sophisticated. Later he learned that there were obvious differences between bodies that had been drowned or suffocated before being thrown into the water, and the coroner could easily tell the difference.

But the good thing was that the body was dumped late at night and no one heard or saw it.

The second one: Ten years ago, a night watchman was hit on the head by a thief and died.

Night watchmen usually work in groups of two, one holding a lantern and the other holding a gong. When they announce the night watch, they often remind people to be careful of fire or candles as the weather is dry.

The night watchman's companion was not feeling well that day, so he agreed with the night watchman to take his place and he would take over next time.

The night watchman was the only one on duty that day, and he was familiar with the route anyway.

Later he was found dead under a courtyard wall. It seemed that someone climbed out of the wall and met the night watchman passing by, so he was killed to silence him.

At that time, it was determined that it was done by a thief who acted on impulse.

Nowadays, there are also gangster killers who confessed that the case in Kyoto was not a thief's impromptu act in order to prove that they were not responsible for another brutal massacre in another county.

Instead, he took the money just to get rid of the night watchman.

The third file: Three years ago, an accountant died in his concubine's room.

This is an experienced accountant with many years of experience. His income has increased with his qualifications and experience. His boss pays him a lot of money every month, so he has become more active.

He was already quite old, and he had taken a concubine. He lived a very happy life. He no longer cared about his old wife, and he often slept in the concubine's room.

The accountant died in his concubine's room. One theory is that he took aphrodisiac medicine and died of a heart attack while having sex with his concubine.

Another version is that the accountant liked his concubine and wanted to find an opportunity to divorce her and make her his legal wife, but his wife found out and, out of anger, she took the initiative and made the accountant drink soup that was spiked with ingredients.

After drinking, the accountant went to have sex with his concubine and died in bed. His wife killed two birds with one stone as she got rid of the man and put the blame on the concubine.

But the concubine's confession was that the accountant rarely did that with her, which was different from what was said outside. The accountant was always worried and had a lot on his mind.

Sometimes when I woke up, I still saw him with his eyes open, as if he had not fallen asleep.

The relationship between the accountant and his wife is not as incompatible as people say. In fact, they get along well.

The accountant always ate with his wife, and the two of them would chat for a long time. They never quarreled, and the accountant did not want to be promoted as rumored by the outside world.

The wife's testimony was the opposite. Although the two of them did not become enemies and quarreled every day, they were already relatively speechless.

There was little conversation between the two of them, and having dinner with her was just a formality.

Because their children are already older, they don’t want any trouble to happen between their parents, as that would be too embarrassing.

The coroner's autopsy showed that the accountant had indeed suffered a heart attack, but the cause of the heart attack was that he had taken poison.

However, when his wife and concubine were investigated, there was no evidence that they had poisoned the person, and the source of the poison was never found.

The accountant had no enemies and no money in the family was lost. After ruling out all possibilities, the case became an unsolved case.

Also this time, a gangster killer confessed that he took money to poison and killed the accountant.
