At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 357 He Slanders Me
Zhu Qizhen was even more surprised. Since Yuan Bin specifically mentioned this person, could there be something in it?
"What's going on, please explain clearly!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "This guy named Niu Dabao is a well-known gangster in the local area. He usually bullies men and women, and has done a lot of bad things. Two years ago, Ningbo Shipyard was ordered to supervise To build an iron-clad ship, a large number of students were transferred from the Academy of Sciences, these people..."

He paused, and continued: "These people have a more...frank personality, and when someone makes trouble, they naturally won't swallow their anger. It is said... that they fought with those troublemakers, and... they even won... ..."

Hearing what Yuan Bin said, Zhu Qizhen was not surprised.

Peng Qing, the former dean of the Academy of Sciences, and Bei Lin, the current dean, have exactly the same temperament as the master and apprentice, and they both copy guys when they disagree.

Can employees brought out by such a leader have a good temper?
Those gangsters must be used to bullying people on weekdays, thinking that everyone should fear them, dare to go to the shipyard to make trouble, it is conceivable that they will be beaten everywhere.

"Niu Dabao and the others saw that the situation was not good, so they ran away, and suffered minor injuries at most, but after three days, they... died!"

"died?"

"Yes, according to the test results done by Wu, he was beaten and seriously injured, and died of untreated death."

Zhu Qizhen was very surprised: "People from the Academy of Sciences beat him to death?"

Yuan Bin shook his head, and said: "It's not that simple. In the confession that General Shi got, there was a mention of this person, saying that Niu Dabao died of... silence!"

Zhu Qizhen's face became more and more serious, and things started to feel a little strange.

Although the people in the Academy of Sciences are hot-tempered, they still have a sense of severity. When encountering these troublemakers, at most they can teach them a lesson, and they will definitely not beat them to death.

Coupled with the confessions obtained by Shi Heng and Yuan Bin, it seems that Niu Dabao's death had another reason.

That being the case, why did Wu Zuo give the result that he was seriously injured and died?
"Where's the confession?"

Seemingly prepared, Yuan Bin took out a confession from his body and handed it over.

After Zhu Qizhen took it, he examined it carefully.

The owner of this confession is called Ma Duan, and the confession is mainly related to smuggling out to sea. Among them, only a few words about Niu Dabao are mentioned.

It probably said that Niu Dabao got something important, Ma Duan asked him to ask for it, and the two made an appointment to meet at a tavern on the street, but Niu Dabao suddenly changed his mind, raised the price temporarily, and threatened to sue the government.

Ma Duan suddenly became murderous, first he pretended to agree, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness, stabbed him through the back with a single knife, and killed him immediately.

It stands to reason that the other crimes confessed by this person are far greater than the killing of a gangster, and there is no way to lie about this matter. Then why did the autopsy result not mention the knife wound at all, and only said that it was related to the fight in the shipyard.

"You go and find out what happened to Niu Dabao's death? If you can know the real cause of his death and follow the clues, you may be able to find out what secret he has in his hands."

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin bowed out and left the shipyard quickly.

Zhu Qizhen was not in the mood to continue studying the iron-clad ship, but when he returned to his residence, he found Zhang Chun's memorabilia.

However, now he only thinks about Niu Dabao's case. What is the purpose of those rebels sending them to the shipyard?What secrets does he have in his hands?Why is the cause of death given by the Ningbo government completely different from the results found by Jin Yiwei?
If these questions were not clear, where would he have time to read the memorial, he picked it up and threw it aside.

Inadvertently, I saw a few words in the scattered memorials - Niu Dabao!

Zhu Qizhen immediately became interested, picked up the memorial again, and read it carefully.

This memorandum... actually refers to Niu Dabao's case!
However, Zhang Chun firmly insisted that Niu Dabao was beaten to death by people from the shipyard. The case was settled because of Jin Ying's identity. Relying on the grace of God, he will act recklessly.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but admire these literati, they didn't swear at all.

Things are starting to get interesting!

"Come on!"

Hearing the summons, Fan Zhong at the door stepped in and said, "The minister is here!"

"Proclaim Zhang Chun, the magistrate of Ningbo!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Zhang Chun came back, he got the decree, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, it must be his memorabilia that played a role.

In this way, I have the upper hand, and if those people in the shipyard want to sue themselves, the emperor will definitely not believe it.

Sure enough, when he came to meet him, he saw the emperor holding his memorial in his hand.

"What's the matter with this case?"

Zhang Chun hurriedly replied: "Your majesty, this case is the fault of this minister. At the beginning... due to the protection of the guard eunuch Jin Ying, the real culprit has been at large. For the past two years, this case has always been the heart of this minister. Jie, if you don't vomit today, this humble minister...is guilty!"

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Who is the real murderer?"

"According to Wu's autopsy results, Niu Dabao died of serious injuries. It was caused by a fight with some people in the shipyard three days before the incident."

"Seriously injured, what kind of injury?"

"This, this..."

Zhang Chun's heart was a little messy, he didn't expect that the emperor would ask such detailed questions, and he was not prepared in advance.

"...It should have been caused by... fists, kicks and sticks."

"you sure?"

"Weichen... sure!"

Zhang Chun tried his best to recall. At that time, he said it was a fight. He had never heard of anyone using a knife. It should be no problem...

Zhu Qizhen frowned and his face was gloomy, because he didn't know if Zhang Chun really didn't know anything, or he was just pretending to be stupid in front of him.

"Human life is a matter of heaven, there must be no sloppy, I will ask you again, how did Niu Dabao die?"

"It was... people from the shipyard beat him to death!"

"emperor……"

At this time, Yuan Bin came in a hurry and was about to speak when he saw Zhang Chun beside him, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Zhu Qizhen said: "You came just in time, did you find anything?"

Yuan Bin looked at Zhang Chun, and said, "The stalker has already been recruited. Niu Dabao died from a knife wound on his back, which was fatal!"

"what?"

Zhang Chun almost jumped up and said, "Impossible!"

Yuan Bin ignored him and continued: "The perpetrator is Ma Duan. It is said that this person sent money to Zhang Zhifu to suppress the matter."

"Never mind!"

Zhang Chun's face was pale, and his forehead was already dripping with sweat.

Yuan Bin said coldly: "Master Zhang, the assistant of your Ningbo Mansion is outside, why don't you let him go to the palace, and you two confront each other face to face?"

Zhang Chun's face turned from white to blue, and then from blue to green, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

"He...he must be slandering. I usually treat him kindly, but today I am slandering this official. This person has evil intentions. Your Majesty, I beg you to punish him as an example to others!"
