Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 487 New Developments in the Case

Wang Yun actually had a good impression of Niu Tianlin.

The magistrate was naturally terrified when he saw the emperor. After all, many officials may find it difficult to see the emperor in their entire lives.

And after years of hard study, I finally got to this position. If I am not careful, I will lose my hat, and it is impossible to suffer disaster.

Wang Yun passed by here before, but he didn't really pass through Hejian Mansion. He always had the impression that it was a poor and backward place.

When His Majesty was chatting just now, he also said that the Hejian Mansion has made progress in the past two years, which is affirmation of Niu Tianlin's ability.

Since this Niu Tianlin was willing to come to him for advice and peace of mind, whether he said it was a good deed, or to make the emperor satisfied and not angry, Wang Yun decided to be this good man!

"Commander Wang, please let me know, I am very grateful!"

Niu Tianlin said directly.

"The emperor likes people who do practical things, and don't like people who play tricks and make formalities. As for the entertainment, just follow the normal specifications. If there is anything, we will let you know!"

"Thank you Commander for your advice, I will follow your advice!"

Niu Tianlin said happily.

I heard that apart from the Lu family of the queen's natal family, this Wang family is one of the few favored relatives in the capital. Since this person said so, it is absolutely unmistakable.

It is important to have real ability to be an official, but to do it well, you need guidance from noble people.

"By the way, I heard that you are investigating a case recently?"

Wang Yun asked suddenly.

"Uh, yes, there was a serial case here. A clerk in a restaurant beat and killed the shopkeeper, but the clerk and the shopkeeper's wife said that there was a dead man in front of their shop for no reason, and the clerk and the shopkeeper threw them into the river in fear. Today we are busy letting the river workers salvage the corpse, but there is no news yet..."

Niu Tianlin was surprised how Wang Yun would ask this matter.

"master!"

"Master! Are you there?"

What else did Niu Tianlin want to say, suddenly there was a cry in the distance.

"Lin An, I'm here, what are you yelling?"

Niu Tianlin heard the voice of his master Lin An, worried that he would disturb the nobleman, so he hurriedly responded.

"Commander, it's my master!"

Niu Tianlin explained to Wang Yun.

"Master! Master, the yamen servant came back and reported that the man's body was found!"

Lin An trotted over and said in a low voice.

Seeing someone beside Niu Tianlin, he hurriedly fell silent.

"The body was found?"

Wang Yun asked with interest.

"This is Commander Wang, he is asking you something!"

Niu Tianlin poked Lin An and asked him to answer.

"Reporting...Reporting to the commander, it is the serial case in our city. We have been salvaging the corpse today, and we have found it. We will post a notice tomorrow to let people identify the corpse."

Lin An hurriedly replied.

He is not very old, he is a scholar, because of his average family background, he failed several times in the examinations, and he is a distant relative with Niu Tianlin, and he is considered smart, so he works beside Niu Tianlin.

Niu Tianlin has a master next to him, who is older, and Lin An can be regarded as a little assistant at most. Niu Tianlin said he is a master, but he actually meant to flatter him.

"Uh, got it!"

Wang Yun said.

"You handle this case well. This case has a great impact. I see that there are discussions in the streets and alleys. The emperor has heard about it and is quite interested. You should do it well so that the emperor will not ask..."

Wang Yun reminded.

"Yes! Thank you Commander for reminding me! I will go back and arrange the next step!"

……

When Wang Yun went back, he saw Qin Shao flipping through some books, and Wang Yin was also helping to sort out the scattered books.

"You've been peeing for a long time!"

Seeing Wang Yun coming back, Wang Yin joked.

They came out this time with a lot of books, all about so-called technology, and the emperor would study those books when he stopped.

They had two horses for the books.

Just now Qin Shao asked the two of them to help him find it together. Wang Yun searched for a while and said he wanted to have a urinate, but he only came back at this time.

"I didn't urinate for a long time, I just ran into someone on the road."

Wang Yun said truthfully.

"Isn't that Niu Tianlin?"

Qin Shao flipped through a booklet and said without raising his head.

"Your Majesty, you... how do you know?"

Wang Yun asked in surprise.

"How normal! Earlier you told them that we still have hospitality standards here, just look at their fearful expressions. If he doesn't ask for confirmation, he probably won't be able to sleep well tonight!"

Qin Shao laughed.

"Your Majesty, you are really powerful. You really guessed it. That Niu Tianlin was standing by the hut waiting for me and scared me. He just wanted to ask me if I really want to treat you like an ordinary official? I think he is pitiful. I just talked to him a few words, he should feel at ease now! By the way, there is a new progress in the serial case we heard from the sugar seller! The body thrown into the river has been found!"

Wang Yun laughed.

"The body was found?"

Wang Yin asked in surprise, Qin Shao also raised his head, obviously interested in this case.

"When Niu Tianlin came to look for me, one of his subordinates came over and said that the river worker had found the body in the river, and it is estimated that a notice will be posted tomorrow for people to identify it."

Wang Yun explained.

The reason why Wang Yun mentioned this matter was because he saw that Qin Shao was looking at some documents of the Hejian Mansion. He obviously wanted to stay here for a few days. Since such a big case happened in the city, he would naturally pay attention to it.

……

The next day, when they woke up and had breakfast, they heard the sound of ding ding bang bang outside.

Wang Yin went out to check, and it turned out that the body was found in the river, and it was placed in a square in the vegetable market, so that people nearby could identify it and see if they knew it.

Qin Shao originally wanted Niu Tianlin to accompany him to check the situation of the river in Hejianfu today. Seeing this situation, he went over to watch their trial of the case.

Although Wang Yun told Niu Tianlin yesterday that there is no need to worry about the hospitality, but knowing that the emperor is concerned about the serial murder case, he didn't fall asleep all night.

This... the emperor wants to personally supervise him to review the case, this matter... this matter is more nervous than the entertainment...

He is so miserable!

Being watched by a boss at an on-site work exhibition is no different from an on-site supervised exam. This...

Niu Tianlin not only asked people to post a notice, but also offered a reward of 20 Yuan Ming coins to come and identify him.

The amount of 20 Yuan Daming coins sounds small, but in this small town in Hejian Prefecture, the purchasing power of these 20 Yuan even exceeds the price of 20 taels of silver, the amount of the reward is actually not small.

With the government's attention and heavy rewards, someone soon recognized the swollen corpse.

"My lord, this villain recognizes this person. This person should be a second-rate descendant from Qianjie!"

Someone came up to recognize someone.

"Uh? How did you know that? The body has been swollen with soaking water, and you can't see its face. How do you know that this person is the Sun Zhuo you know?"

Niu Tianlin was too nervous about this case. After all, two people had died now, so he directly set up a table in the square to investigate the case on the spot.

"My lord, the villain sells pastries on this street. This Sun Zhuo doesn't do anything serious and often fools around. Everyone in the neighborhood knows him. Everyone knows that Sun Zhuo has a characteristic, and that is his feet. There are six toes on the bottom. The villain obviously looked at the corpse. Although his face is ugly, he has six toes on both feet! And that Sun Zhuo has not been seen for several days, and he often wanders in the street. Two days ago, his old lady asked someone to inquire about Sun Zhuo, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask."

The person who came to report to know the corpse was indeed a pastry vendor on the street.

When he said that the corpse had six toes, the crowd immediately started talking.

Many people expressed their acquaintance with Sun Zhuo, a well-known bum in the neighborhood. His family used to be fairly well-to-do. His father left him two grocery stores, but this guy was lazy and sometimes gambled. Sixty old lady can't control him at all.

In less than a few years, the two stores were almost wiped out by his eating, drinking and gambling. He still likes to drink, and when he gets drunk, he will go crazy on the street. In summer, he often lies barefoot on the street, Because there are not many people with six toes, many people are very impressed.

These days, it is considered unlucky to have too many toes, and this guy eats, drinks, and gambles in a bad way, and no one is willing to match him. He is almost 30 years old and still single.

"It's Sun Zhuo. It is true that he has six toes on both feet, and his height is about the same!"

"That's right! I remember that when I saw him a few days ago, he was wearing this blue cloth dress. Although the clothes were soaked in water, he was still recognizable."

The crowd talked a lot, saying that this person was Sun Zhuo.

Niu Tianlin simply sent someone to bring Sun Zhuo's old lady over to identify her.

As soon as the old lady saw the corpse and checked her toes and clothes, she burst into tears and said that it was her son Sun Zhuo.

The toes are the same, the clothes on his body are still made by himself, and one pocket is torn. She just used a piece of red cloth as a lining to sew it on a few days ago, and the piece of cloth is still there.

According to the old lady's account, this corpse is undoubtedly confirmed by Sun Zhuo himself!

Everyone began to wonder how Sun Zhuo died.

According to the confessions of the shop assistant and the proprietress, the corpses were placed at the entrance of their shop, and they threw them into the river. They probably did not commit suicide or fell into the river after drinking to die.

Wu Zuo came soon and opened the body for an autopsy.

"My lord, this man was strangled to death with a rope!"

Wu Zuo reported back after examining the corpse.

"Strangled to death with a rope?"

The crowd was amazed.

Niu Tianlin asked Sun Zhuo's old lady to come over again, and asked Sun Zhuo what happened before he disappeared.

"My lord, old man... I'm really sorry for my dead old man for not being strict with my children!"

Sun Zhuo's old lady cried and cried.

She said that because she had only Sun Zhuo as her only son, she was always spoiled and spoiled, and she developed a lazy character.

The two stores in the family were eaten and gambled by her son, and she was so angry that she wanted to jump into the well. Her son Sun Zhuo finally didn't bury the last bit of conscience. On a good day, she will marry a daughter-in-law and a fat grandson in the future.

A few days ago, Sun Zhuo went out to look for a job, but it was hard to find a job.

One day the son came back in a panic, the old lady asked him about his situation, the son was really fine, and he didn't go out for several days.

Later, I went out for a trip and came back with a very happy expression. I also brought back a lot of Ming coins and bought a lot of good things.

Mrs. Sun was a little worried, and asked where the money came from. Sun Zhuo said that he got it from a business with a friend, and told her that he would not worry about running out of money in the future.

Mrs. Sun was worried, worried that the money had not come in the right way, so she followed her son to the street, saw him going to the West Street Market with two men, and thought that her son had really taught his friends, so she was relieved to have help.

"Do you remember what those two looked like?"

Niu Tianlin asked excitedly.

"Basically, I have some impressions. I heard that my son called those two people Han Boss and Han Lao Er, and the voices should be local people."

Mrs. Sun said.

"Call the artist over here!"

Niu Tianlin directly ordered his subordinates.

……

"This Niu Tianlin seems to have a knack for solving the case! Such a talent can actually enter Dali Temple in the future!"

Qin Shao watched Niu Tianlin's trial and had a pretty good impression of him.

Send someone a message that this case has some clues, and ask him to accompany him to inspect the river embankment.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty really said that?"

When Wang Yun delivered the letter, Niu Tianlin asked excitedly.

"Can I still tell lies?"

Wang Yun was speechless.

"No! No, the commander misunderstood! The officer is a little too excited. Tomorrow... Tomorrow I will work overtime to try this case, and find the murderer as soon as possible. Today, the artist has drawn the general appearance of the two people. If they are locals, It shouldn't be hard to find, and the truth will definitely be revealed by then!"

Niu Tianlin promised.

"Well, you did a good job. This case has some twists and turns. Your Majesty said that you handled the case well. If you can close the case in two days and find the murderer, then maybe you have a seat in Dali Temple!"

Wang Yun uttered the last sentence, and Niu Tianlin was stunned, and he went straight out...

……

Niu Tianlin's luck is really good.

On the second day, before the portrait of the suspect was posted, one person came and surrendered himself!

The person who came to surrender was Han Erer who lived in the alley of Donger Road, Xida Street, and his surname was indeed the right one.

The second Han was trembling when he surrendered, but he became limp as soon as he arrived at the gate of the government office.

Qin Shao was already surprised when he heard Wang Yin say that Niu Tianlin had started the trial early in the morning, but he was even more surprised to know that someone turned himself in.

This speed seems to be faster than the monitoring and solving cases in the previous life.

If it was in the previous life, the people who committed this kind of murder basically fled, and there are still people who surrender themselves these years.

Not wanting to read those brochures, Qin Shao simply went to the back hall of the government office to listen to Niu Tianlin's trial.

Niu Tianlin was trying the case at the front, and when he heard that the emperor was in the back hall, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement. He knew that the emperor was concerned about this case, but thinking that the emperor was behind him, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

"Dangxia Han Er, why did you come to surrender? Hurry up and tell me one by one. If you confess, I may save your life. If you dare to hide a little bit, you will know the consequences..."

Even though Niu Tianlin was excited, he still slapped the gavel hard, which made Han Er shiver below him in fright.

"Big... my lord, little... Xiaomin didn't kill people on purpose, didn't kill people on purpose..."

Han Er said with snot and tears.

"Who did you kill? Why did you kill? Hurry up and tell me one by one!"

Niu Tianlin shouted impatiently.

"It wasn't the villain who killed it, it wasn't the villain who killed it, it was the villain... that Sun Zhuo who was killed by the villain's brother, no! My brother was also forced to kill, that Sun Zhuo deserved to die! He deserved to die, and we too were killed Forced... We were also forced..."

Han Er collapsed to the ground, shouting hysterically.

No matter how Niu Tianlin asked, he kept repeating those few words, obviously frightened to the point of madness!

"My lord! You can't continue asking like this!"

Lin An stood aside and said.

The original master Wu Min was getting old and was not feeling well recently, so Lin An had been helping Niu Tianlin all along.

"Then what do you say?"

Niu Tianlin was also very anxious. Originally, Han Er had already surrendered and the case was about to be clarified, but he couldn't ask the situation in his current state.

"My lord, didn't he say that his brother killed Boss Han?"

Lin An reminded.

"Go and send someone to arrest Boss Han, don't let anyone run away!"

Niu Tianlin gave orders immediately as if enlightened.
