This vile tragedy fermented rapidly in Beijing, and soon alarmed the superior king.

In such a peaceful and prosperous age, an innocent person's corpse was openly ruined, not to mention that this person is currently involved in the most important state affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In order to solve the case quickly, the case was only investigated in Jingzhaoyin Yamen for five or six days, then it was moved to Dali Temple, and the imperial court official Han Mochu personally intervened.

Taking over the case, Han Mochu first abolished all the motherboards currently in use in the Mint.Then he will redraw the pattern, contact the mint supervisor to open the mold again, and cast it again.

Then he ordered Dali Temple Zhengqing Guo Ying, no matter what means he used, to compile all the traces of the little steward's actions in the month before he was killed, as well as all the relatives, friends and colleagues around him, into a case file for him within five days. Check out.

Mr. Guo, who was around [-] years old, has been preparing to pave the way for his emeritus and sickness retirement since he suffered the dark loss of Han Mochu for more than ten days the year before last.

With great difficulty, the road was almost paved, and his application for emeritus was all drawn up, and such a thing happened at such a critical moment.

No matter how good or bad he is, he will have no hope of retirement in the next three to five years.

Two or 300 people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple cast their nets out and searched carefully for five days and four nights, fearing that any details would be exposed.

Early morning of the fifth day.

A black-topped round-covered carriage with four drivers stopped in front of the gate of Dali Temple.

Grand Fu Han Mochu was dressed in a lotus-colored cloak with flowing clouds and dark patterns, and an ivory wishful crown on his top. He led the little crown prince Gu Yucheng down from the carriage.

Guo Ying, Zhengqing of Dali Temple, waited here for a long time with two young ministers and four principals in his sleeves, the black and blue sunken under his eyes was extremely deep, and the blood in his eyes almost invaded the pupils. full.Standing on the steps facing the wind in an official uniform with long sleeves, he looked more and more arched, old-fashioned.

"My minister, Guo Ying, has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Taifu Han."

"Master Guo is free." Han Mochu nodded with a smile, took Yucheng's little hand and walked straight towards the gate of Dali Temple, and ordered as he walked: "Mr. Guo, please find two volumes that were revised last year for His Highness the Crown Prince. If you have passed the criminal law, find someone suitable to take him around your lawsuit and teach him to recognize the things here. Are the case files ready?"

"Go back to Taifu Han, the case files are all sorted out, and they are all waiting for Taifu Han in the upper hall." Guo Ying bowed and grinned at the little prince, "His Royal Highness, I will prepare a study for you later."

"Oh! I'm sorry, Mr. Guo." Xiao Yucheng nodded obediently, and his big clever eyes turned for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Yucheng." Han Mochu broke the little guy's mind with just one glance, and raised his hand to pat the little thing's back of the head lightly: "You should study hard in a while, and Yafu will take a quiz when he goes back at night."

"Hmm..." Xiao Yucheng, who was still rolling his eyes just now, suddenly picked up the eggplant, and rubbed his chubby hands pitifully with his mouth curled up: "Cheng'er knows."

"This is it." Han Mochu let go of Yu Cheng's little hand, signaling him to leave with the master Guo arranged for him.

After watching Yu Cheng go away, Han Mochu looked away: "Master Guo, the case is urgent, please lead the way."

Guo Ying nodded hurriedly, leading Han Mochu to the upper hall where the case file was prepared.

On the case table in the main hall of the back hall of Dali Temple, there is a whole large box of neatly stacked case files, which were sorted out by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple with painstaking efforts in the past few days.

"My lords have worked hard for days, sit down. I will tell you if I have something to do."

Everyone sat down as promised, and Qing Guoying, who was sitting at the top of the Dali Temple, also opened his eyes and saw what is the real one-eye ten-line.

I saw Han Mochu holding the case file in one hand, and it passed by like a breeze.Another stylus can extract confusing points on paper.

After these two or three hours, Han Mochu didn't drink tea, didn't speak, and didn't raise his head to give a half-sentence instruction, until Mr. Guo, who hadn't slept well for four or five days, drowsy.

While half asleep and half awake, Guo Ying suddenly heard a summons: "Master Guo, where is the corpse that you filled out?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's Taifu Han!" Master Guo quickly opened his heavy eyelids, helped the official hat that had almost fallen off his head, and hurriedly greeted: "Come... come here... and present Taifu Han's corpse."

Somehow, Mr. Guo Ying Guo felt that he, the official of the imperial court, was becoming more and more like a servant who obeyed orders.

Han Mochu took over the corpse and continued to look through it. Since the case was of great importance, the corpse was filled in with great detail.

In the cadaver, it is written: The deceased was five feet four inches long, shoulders one foot five inches wide, with rounded shoulders, two legs with arcs, shaped like a spindle, black scars on the buttocks, a black complexion, a swollen mouthpiece, and a separation of the head and neck. , After death, he chopped and dismembered the corpse with a sharp knife into nine corpse parts.

They are the head and neck, upper body, chest and abdomen, legs, feet, and arms respectively. The deceased's face has cracked skin and blood, which can be concluded that the deceased had fought with others during his lifetime.

Han Mochu faced the corpse body with the doubts he had just summed up by himself, and the truth of this tragedy gradually became clear.

According to the record in the case file, the young master's surname is Tang, his name is Wu, and he was born in Yongping 20 years ago.Both parents died when he was six years old, and only a distant uncle took him to live.When Tang Wu was 19 years old, Enke failed the rankings, and his family donated his official career, and went to the Beijing Central Mint as a small craftsman in charge of making molds. Because of his diligence and intelligence, he was promoted to a manager seven or eight years later.

After Tang Wu's death, due to Han Mochu's order, everyone related to him was interrogated.

The man who claimed to be Tang Wu's uncle was a small businessman who sold flowers and trees in the Fusang country. Colleagues around Tang Wu can all confirm that this man would often take Tang Wu out to eat and drink, and would also share a lot of clothes and shoes with Tang Wu. Tang Wu is also quite generous with regard to money and food, and often distributes silver to his colleagues.

After investigation by the Ministry of Household Affairs, it was found that this person had actually passed away more than 20 years ago, but for some reason the account had not been canceled. Over the years, the local officials in charge have changed three or four times, and now the local people have even recovered the bones of this person. .

And the identity of this man who appeared next to Tang Wu after Tang Wu's parents lost both, and supported him until he was 19 years old, no one knows.

In other words, it was this man who claimed to be Tang Wu's uncle who killed Tang Wu's parents in order to adopt Tang Wu, an orphan, for his own use.

As for why he wanted to kill a couple of unnamed common people and take away their children...

Han Mochu stared intently at the word "Fusang" for a long time, and suddenly had a deduction in his heart.

The dead Tang Wu was short in stature, with narrow shoulders, a sunken nose, and his legs turned out like spindles, all of which are unique to the Fusang people.

Fusang and Dazhou face each other across the sea, and there are often economic and trade exchanges, and there were constant conflicts in the old years.

Because of the sea in the middle, the people of Fusang did not really submit to Shangbang Dazhou, and they did everything in order to obtain the rich products in Dazhou.

Perhaps many years ago, the real Tang Wu and his parents were killed by several Fusang people of unknown origin, and they have been replaced since then.

Slowly, a Fusang child who grew up in the capital was sent to an important legal institution in Dazhou to steal everything about Shangbang Dazhou.

Thinking about it, they were able to live in peace until this time when Han Mochu decreed to mint new coins. Maybe it was because Tang Wu could no longer achieve what his country wanted him to do, maybe he had a disagreement with his country, or maybe it was because the spoils were not evenly distributed... …

But in any case, Tang Wu's tragic death was just a signal.

I still remember that Mr. Yi Wei once said when Han Mochu was young: "The country of Fusang is small but has wolf ambitions. If one day the country becomes strong, it must be destroyed."

Over the years, Han Mochu armed Dazhou with firearms and became one of the most powerful countries in the world.

In the inland land, Da Zhou has almost no rivals.

However, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has been no other coastal defense force except for a navy of the Linjiang Navy.

Expeditions in the open sea have always been the shortcoming of Dazhou's coastal defense.

Previously, Gu Xiu emptied the national treasury and flattened most of Luocha's territory for Han Mochu, and Han Mochu used some extraordinary means to replenish the national treasury again.

If Fusang is really in trouble at this time, in order to protect the peace of the Great Zhou, it is necessary to empty out the treasury, and the chances of winning are no greater than when they fought against Rakshasa.

On this matter, he had to go back and discuss with Gu Xiu as soon as possible, so that he could make a decision as soon as possible.

Thinking of this moment, Han Mochu closed the case file in his hand, rubbed the Jingming acupoint between his eyes, and blinked lightly: "Master Guo, according to my deduction, this case was committed by bandits in the suburbs of Beijing. Tang Wu When he went out that day, he went to a remote place, and the bandits robbed and killed him for money, so you close the case."

"Yes! Taifu Han!" Guo Ying blurted out a sentence, but after thinking about it later, he felt wrong, and then said again: "Taifu Han, after the on-site inspection by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it seems that he has no money..."

"Master Guo, I want you to close the case." Han Mochu stood up from behind the table, and flattened the long sleeves on both sides: "Where is His Royal Highness now? I'm going to take him back."

"Yes, yes, Taifu Han, I understand." Guo Ying didn't understand, he had a hundred incomprehensions in his stomach.

Previously, this Taifu Han used to be such a thunderstorm, but now it just blows past like a gust of wind.

If they were really bandits, how could they mobilize the crowd like this?

The case was judged at Jingzhao Fu Yin's place, so how could it fall into the hands of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and him?

But now, he can only pretend to be confused with a full stomach.

At the same time, the young prince Gu Yucheng was visiting the large prison cell where his Asian father Han Mochu once lived in the prison behind Dali Temple.

When Han Mochu came to pick him up, he was holding the pillars on both sides of the prison and looking out eagerly. When he saw Han Mochu, he immediately stretched out his little hand through the fence: "Yafu, Yafu, Cheng'er wants to stay here for a night today. I want to hear stories about ghosts in prisons told by adults."

Han Mochu stood still and raised the corners of his mouth towards the mischievous little guy: "Cheng'er wants to live here, but it's not possible to live here for only one day. If he wants to live here, he can only live all the time, and he can't be accompanied by anyone. What do you think?" ?”

The little prince trembled when he heard this, and hurried to the wooden gate: "Yafu Yafu, Cheng'er has changed his mind, Cheng'er wants to go back to the palace!"
