Chapter 26 Three Murder Cases

noon.

Six doors in the yamen.

The first arrester, Guo Zifei, stared blankly at the case, the three newly added blank case files on the pile of "Zheng's Husband Beating Case".

"It's over!"

The three new cases are:
"The Case of the Death of Cai on the Wall in the Fugui Tea House";
"The Case of Gou Fugui Poisoned by Salt Transport in Thousands of Miles";
"The Case of Zhang Wushuang's Assassination by Tibetan Soldiers Casting Pavilion";
Three people died.

Duan Cai, the owner of Fugui Tea House, was once the richest man in the imperial city, but since the rise of the Zheng family, he is currently the second richest man.The family also involves banks, cloth businesses, wine shops, paper making, and land transportation.In the middle of the night, he was beaten to death at home.

Gou Fugui, the owner of Wanli Salt Transport, when his concubine was shaking wildly on Boss Gou, Boss Gou suddenly foamed at the mouth and died. At first, he thought it was a horse wind, but later he did an urgent autopsy and suspected it was poisoning.

Zhang Wushuang, the owner of the Cangbing Zhuge, is the largest supplier of weapons for the Imperial Army of the Shenwu Hall. He has almost monopolized the private railway business in the north, and has close ties with the official railway. Because the Zheng family has not set foot in this area, Zhang Wushuang can be said to be a weapon of the imperial city. s King.On the same night, he was stabbed to death at home with a small blood hole in his throat.

The three murder cases seem to be irrelevant, and the causes of death are different.

But if it happened at the same time period, it would be a bit too coincidental.

Guo Zifei, as the number one arrester in the imperial city, his rich experience and intuition accumulated over the years of investigating cases told him that there was something else going on in this matter, and it was not as simple as an ordinary murder case.

This is likely to be beyond the meddling scope of his mere super god catcher.

then,

He reluctantly packed three stacks of blank files and ordered them to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for the higher authorities to make a decision.

At this time, Guo Zifei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little lighter in his shoulders.

……

In one night in the imperial city, three murders shocked the whole city.

Word of mouth among the common people has become more and more exaggerated and bizarre.

How many years has it been since such a bloody case has not happened in the imperial city.

On weekdays, the six doors handle at most minor cases such as assault, disturbance, theft, and adultery.

soon.

The Ministry of Punishment issued an order to prohibit word-of-mouth transmission among the common people, and once found out, they will be severely beaten with sixty sticks.

Immediately, the common people did not dare to speak again, even after dinner.

Inside the palace.

A handsome young man was dressed in gold and silver, with a hidden anger in his eyes, lying on a luxurious soft bed.

In front of him, there were a variety of fruit plates and exquisite pastries.

Beside him, women of various colors were in different postures, half-exposed in cardigans, with enchanting bodies and charming expressions.

"What? All dead? Ridiculous!"

When the young man learned about the murders of Duan Cai, Gou Fugui and Zhang Wushuang, he angrily pushed away the charming girl beside him.

Zhou Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, has black hair and is in his prime.As soon as he received the dossier from Guo Zifei, he secretly thought something was wrong, immediately ignored the rules, and went to the palace's Chinese Linyuan to check the information on the pretext of investigating the case, and by the way, went around and secretly came to see His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment holds a high position and has internal support. It is not difficult to issue documents to himself.

Seeing the uncontrollable ferocity in the second prince's eyes, Zhou Ji couldn't help shivering, and immediately knelt down, lowered his head, and continued to report.

"Bastard! Where's their property?"

"According to the law of Daqian, if the three families have no sons-in-law, step-sons, Gaotang, or son-in-law, the property will be temporarily sealed up, and if no one inherits it, it will be charged to the national treasury. If Your Highness wants to borrow the financial resources of the three families, it may not be easy for a while..."

The second prince's face turned black.

"In addition, there is one thing, although it is not a big deal, His Highness may be interested."

"Say."

The second prince sat back in the soft bed, kneading the warm and fragrant flesh beside him fiercely, his actions were rough, causing the women pain, but he didn't dare to say more, still forced a smile, and took the initiative to meet him.

"There is news from the household department that the Zheng family's tax concealment case has already begun."

"Prospects? How can there be any clues? He is a loyal Marquis of the Zheng family who wants to collect money, so how can he use such petty tricks as hiding taxes? Hmph, but the common people don't need to know this. You ordered people to release rumors that the Zheng family has a huge amount of taxes hidden. This hall needs three days, and the whole world will know about it. Once it is confirmed, the marquis Zhonglie will not be able to protect himself. Even if Shi Wentong is dead, my household department will still have someone to follow. , I still prefer my good brother...hehe."

"Dian..." Zhou Ji opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but the second prince waved his hand again, interrupting his words.

The second prince said: "Even if Duan Cai, Gou Fugui, and Zhang Wushuang are dead, as long as the household department can get it, the palace has its own clever plan to collect Zheng's family property at a low price. I don't want to!"

"Report to Your Highness..."

"As the saying goes, soldiers are precious and quick, you put down these three murder cases for the time being, don't let the Ministry of Households seize the three properties! Even if there is no need to investigate, it must be my scheming brother Huang who did it!"

The second prince waved his hand impatiently, the speed of the soldiers is so high.

Now the emperor is critically ill, if there is no accident, the next emperor will fall into the hands of one of the three princes.Now is the time to stand, and the earlier you stand, the more you end up getting.

Although the second prince has a violent temper, he is ruthless in handling things and can be called a hero.

In contrast, the eldest prince looked forward and backward in his work, while the third prince was submissive, so Zhou Ji stood by the second prince.

He admits that he has an element of gambling.

So Zhou Ji bit the bullet and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, I have the courage to report something."

The second prince half-closed his eyes: "Say!"

"This matter is about Zheng's, Zhongliehou's concealment of taxes. Maybe there is a slight discrepancy with His Highness's clever plan."

The second prince opened his eyes.

Zhou Ji's expression became a little weird: "The household department thoroughly checked Zheng's account books, and finally found that... Zheng did hide taxes."

"What?" The second prince's eyes sharpened, his breathing stagnated: "How much is hidden? Shouldn't it be, is there really 5000 million?"

"It's not 5000 million." Zhou Ji stretched out five fingers, and said helplessly, "It's 5, a mere [-] taels. According to the law, [-] is tax concealed, [-] cane punishment, and sent to prison pending trial. This loyal marquis, I'm afraid it will be a moment After a while, I can't get out!"

Second prince: "???"

……

Dizi No. [-] Prison Camp.

Inside the A prison.

"Master Zheng, this...isn't it good?"

Scar Six was holding a stick as thick as his arm, and it was about to fall.

The Household Department first handed over Zheng Xiu's "5 taels of hidden tax" to the Ministry of Punishment. A herald came from the Ministry of Punishment.

After all, this is a crime with solid evidence, and the six departments are staring at it.

When the herald from the Ministry of Punishments came, he saw the layout of the prison and was so angry that his beard trembled wildly. But when he thought of Zheng Xiu's identity, he knew it.

When Scar Liu heard this, his brows stood erect, and he scolded angrily: "This is my territory and you let other people fight it? Are you not paying attention to me, Scar Liu?"

"Hmph, little warden, it's ridiculous! Who do you think you are?"

Brother Six sneered coldly: "Hey~ easy to say! My Scar Lao Liu is the distant cousin of Concubine Zhen in the palace! My dear distant cousin! That sentence, blood is thicker than what! Liu can be regarded as half a relative of the emperor! If you are brave enough, you can send someone to the palace to ask how many times the Holy Majesty has flipped the sign of Concubine Zhen this month!"

The herald was at a loss for words and forced a smile: "...then I will have to do it myself, Mr. Sixth."
