Guo Shao was walking halfway to Tokyo when he suddenly heard the report that he found a suspicious body on Ruzhou Road. Wang Pu and others took the criminal Li Mazi to recognize the body.Guo Shao immediately took the people to the place.
Their group rode fast horses, which arrived earlier than Wang Pu and others.
He saw a green-robed county magistrate and a group of servants in the woods. Guo Shao rode his horse over and saw a pit in the forest. New soil was dug out next to it. A corpse covered in mud had been dug out, and it was really placed on a bamboo rack to lift the corpse.
He heard a kneeling farmer saying: Because Caomin delayed going to the neighboring village, he went home in the dark in the second half of last night. After calling here... he saw a lamp on the road, and one of them was hitting something.
Have you seen clearly that person’s appearance?
The farmer said: It was midnight, the grass people dared not come forward to see Ah. They hid in the grass and didn't dare to come out. They thought to wait for him to leave before going home.This morning, I thought something was wrong, so I touched the mountains and forests here to see what was going on.I saw a newly dug soil in a place covered by branches. I wanted to know what was buried, so I dug it open and saw a dead person.I went to the village to report to the hometown fellow...
Guo Shao looked at the corpse, and there were ten strong men with discolored skin on their heads and damaged in many places.
The coroner was cleaning the body of solidified blood and the soil on his head.
Because the farmer said that he saw something moving on the road in the second half of the night last night, Guo Shao had to guess that this person might be Li Xia'er; but he didn't know Li Xia'er, so he had to wait for Wang Pu and others to bring Li Mazi up to recognize the body.
In the evening, Wang Pu and others arrived and asked Li Mazi to recognize him. It was indeed Li Xiaer.
An official confirmed: This person is very important, are you reading it wrong?
Li Mazi said: I have known him for several months. I think it’s good. If I don’t look at my face, I can recognize him even if I look behind him.
Wang Pudao looked at the body and said: It was collected and transported back to Kaifeng Prefecture for the coroner to have a detailed autopsy.
Seeing that Guo Shao was also here, he walked over.Guo Shao did not shy away. He was originally meant to be assassinated by someone, and it was normal for him to care about the progress of the case.He immediately greeted Wang Pu.
Wang Pu said: It was obvious that he was killed and silenced.
Guo Shao said: What Deputy Envoy Wang said is extremely true, and I am afraid that is exactly the case.However, if I look closely, this person's head is covered with scars and seems to be poisoned, but he is not yet completely recognizable. He can still see his face when he is cleaned up.It happened to be asked by the painter to portray the body according to it, but it was more similar than listening to Li Mazi's oral narration.
Wang Pu nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they could not return to Tokyo tonight, they went to the nearby county town to spend a stay.Li Mazi would naturally be under strict supervision, and even Guo Shao sent some personal soldiers to rotate to set up sentries nearby.
Since this matter has been handed over to Wang Pu, and the various yamen in Kaifeng Prefecture were handled, Guo Shao was not inconvenient to intervene directly. After all, he was just an imperial guard general, and handling the case was not his duty.
Wang Pu was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and he did not handle the case either, but because of this matter, he was sent by the emperor to preside over the various departments.
Guo Shao has never been a policeman or an ancient clerk to the case, but even so, he, a person with no experience in handling cases, felt that if this case could be investigated with all his strength, it would be easy to get back on his hands... He controlled and investigated the places where the deceased Li Xia'er was active, and found out his interpersonal relationships... and he suspected that Li Xia'er often went in and out of the Zhao mansion and used the slaves in the Zhao mansion to recognize Li Xia'er's appearance; even if he didn't, if Li Xia'er often went in and out of the Zhao mansion, his name would always be known by the slaves.
It can basically be determined that the main culprit of this case is Li Xia'er; then the relationship between Li Xia'er and Zhao San is cleared out.
Even if this case is not as proof as ironclad, Zhao San's dislike is obviously the biggest... It is a necessary means for the most suspected suspect to be detained and interrogated, both present and present, and Zhao San may find it difficult to defend himself.
Zhao San may be able to defend Li Xiaer, although he had something to do with him, he could not prove that Zhao San was the commander; but this kind of quibbling was useless. During the torture, he must ask him where he was last night and what evidence he was absent... There are other means and ways. Guo Shao doesn't know much about it, but he can be sure that if the matter can reach this point and be revealed, it will be not far from the truth of the case.
Whether others believe it or not, Guo Shao is sure that Zhao San is the mastermind!
According to the motive of committing the crime, only Li Chongjin and Zhao San may have worked so hard; but there are no credible clues that Li Chongjin is related to this... On the contrary, the clues related to Zhao San are simply inseparable and countless!
What else is there to say about this?
But the key to some cases is not how to investigate or whether they have the ability to investigate the case... it is whether others will ask you to investigate.
Unless the emperor agrees, who would dare to search and take people at the house of the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Office?
……
Zhao San rushed back to Tokyo alone. On the way home, he passed by the intersection of Dongshi North Road. He saw that the building opened by Li Xiaer was full of officials.Zhao San didn't dare to get close to see what was going on, so he hurried back home.
When I got home, I felt calm and things seemed to have not yet affected the Zhao Mansion.
But in the calm scene, Zhao San was also very worried and afraid, and was extremely bored.
When he walked to the hall of the inner courtyard, he suddenly saw He's spiritual card on the table. He was shocked again. The woman had a bad relationship with Zhao San before her lifetime. At this time, Zhao San felt a little nervous when she saw her token.
Zhao San hurriedly retreated from the gate again.
He accidentally kicked to the threshold and staggered and almost fell.
The words on the spirit card seemed to turn into a human face, and they were looking at him coldly and smiling.
Zhao San hurriedly fled back to the house where he lived in the yard in front, thinking to himself: Let this matter be over!I don't dare to do it anymore, I'm wrong...
In addition to fear, he was very angry and inexplicably angry.
Later he began to think about the cause and effect of the matter, and kept thinking about asking him to have dinner at night. His heart was already turbulent, and a series of things came and went on many times.
Zhao San slept very badly at night, both worried and worried.
As early as the morning, he didn't go out, and he always felt that his home was still safe.The second brother is so powerful that Zhao San will feel a little relieved as long as he is under the halo of his second brother.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the slave report: I caught a thief this morning!He stole food in the kitchen last night, but he felt that he hadn't stolen money, so he hid in the woodshed and wanted to start a second time!Unexpectedly, we caught him right away.
Zhao San waved his hand and said: What are you bothering me about this?
The slave said: Alang and Erlang both went straight... How to deal with this thief, the young people have to ask first.Why don't you report to the old lady?
Don't bother my mother.Zhao Sandao, he suddenly turned around, the thief hid in the woodshed, and he still didn't leave during the day?How did he come into the yard?
The slave said: The villain doesn't know much.
Follow me to see.Zhao San took the lead in stepping out of the door.
When the two arrived at the side courtyard, they saw two slaves watching inside and outside the woodshed.
When Zhao San walked into the firewood, he saw an old man tied to a bundle of firewood with hemp ropes.
Zhao San looked at it and waved his hand and ordered: Let's wait outside, I will try him first.
yes.The slaves obediently retreated from the woodshed.
Zhao San asked: What are your names?
The old man tied up in big flowers replied: My surname is Dong, and my name is Dong Wujiang... I was so hungry that I came in and stole some food, which offended the noble man.Please give me a beating, don’t report it to the official.I will not dare to come again next time!
Report to the official?Zhao San frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while, but didn't know what he was thinking. At this moment, his head suddenly changed drastically, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know Guo Shao?"
The old man thought about it and nodded: I see that your family is also a family of officials, and Guo Shao is also an official!I used to be a slave in Guo’s Mansion and was kicked out.
Zhao San's face became colder and he sneered: Why were you driven out?
The old man said embarrassedly: He also stole some money from his family.However, Guo Shao was quite kind to others. He took in my daughter and sent me a lot of money... At first, I was thinking about using this money to do a small business and live a good life.But thinking that the money was still high, I ate and drank first, and saw the white and tender skin of the women in the market... I forgot about doing business, but in the end I didn't have any money left, but I remembered that I had no capital in my hands, alas.
Zhao San frowned and said nothing.
The old man said: I tell the truth every word. If you don’t believe me, send someone to Guo Shao’s house to ask.
Zhao San said coldly: What are you asking?Ask if you have stayed at Guo Shao’s house, or if you were driven out by your master, or if your daughter is a slave in Guo’s house?
Dong Wujiang looked confused, as if he didn't understand what Zhao San said.
Zhao San was angry and afraid. He lowered his head and saw a ball of linen falling from the ground. He picked it up, reached out and pinched Dong Wajian's mouth, and stuffed the ball of linen into it.
Then he pressed the cloth in Dong Wajiang's mouth with one hand and grabbed his nose with the other and pinched it.
Dong Wujiang immediately struggled, but he couldn't move all over.He widened his eyes and kicked his legs on the ground desperately.
After a while, the old man stopped moving.
When Zhao San looked at him, he saw that he had his eyes wide open, but his eyes had no spirit and changed color.
This man's breath was really wonderful. As soon as he fell, his eyes were completely different.
Zhao San stretched out his hand, but his eyelids couldn't be wiped, and his eyes were still staring.
He gave up and didn't feel anything about killing someone, but Zhao San felt that he seemed too cold-blooded, as if he had a good time killing someone.
He pulled out the cloth from Dong Wujiang's mouth and threw it away, and saw that there were stolen wheat cakes and other food thrown beside him.
Zhao San immediately grabbed a few wheat cakes, grabbed a handful of pickles, walked to Dong Wajiang, stuffed them into his wide open mouth with all his strength, and cursed, "I'll tell you to steal, I'll tell you to eat, you'll have enough food!"
After cursing for a while, he threw away the remaining food in his hand, turned around and opened the door: Get the water, this thief was choking.
The slave came into the house and took a look and said quickly: No, I'm dead.
Zhao San turned around in surprise, walked forward and reached out to look in front of Dong Wajiang's nose, and said in a daze: He is so dead... he became a full-fledged ghost.
The servant said with a pale face: What should I do? Do you want to report to the official?
Zhao Sandao: A ragged thief, who was the official, took a car and took out the city gate and threw it on the side of the road to make a fuss.
Their group rode fast horses, which arrived earlier than Wang Pu and others.
He saw a green-robed county magistrate and a group of servants in the woods. Guo Shao rode his horse over and saw a pit in the forest. New soil was dug out next to it. A corpse covered in mud had been dug out, and it was really placed on a bamboo rack to lift the corpse.
