Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 349 A gang? (one more)
Wu Chen also said:

"There is only one daughter in the Liu family. I didn't know that there was such a treasure underground in the Liu family. Now that I know it, why do you think the Liu family married the only woman to someone who could be her father? Perhaps there is no rich old man in her family. A man? And Hao Kui said it was a continuation!"

"It really doesn't make sense!" the expert muttered.

"I deduce that this may be intentional by the Liu family. That is to say, the opening of the Shimen may really be related to the only daughter of the Liu family. As for why it turned into this way in the end, we have to wait for news from Kangshui County."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he took a sip of hot tea and said:

"In a while, you can go down with me to have a look. Most of the snake nests behind the stone gate have been led into the tunnel. I also sprinkled medicine on the stone gate, so there is no danger. I was in a hurry just now, and I only saw that the stone gate was smooth. The surrounding walls are also normal, if the Liu family is here now, how would they open the stone gate?"

"Could it be that two people are needed to open the stone gate, a man and a woman! So the old Liu family couple gave birth to seven sons in a row, and finally gave birth to a daughter before giving up?"

The sophomore asked casually, but Wu Chen nodded seriously, squinting his eyes and said, "It's very possible! But those daughters-in-law who live to the end, they should all go down with their children, and they didn't die immediately after coming up, but they didn't." It has been said that someone has seen this sister-in-law..."

Song Gu slapped his thigh and said:
"That is to say, when they made the layout, their original intention was to hide the lady of the Liu family in order to deal with the underground secret door. However, this little lady really died for some reason, and only the man of the Liu family could not open the stone door."

Shang Gong hurriedly said: "But Erlang of the Liu family gave birth to a daughter. Although she is a little younger, she is also the daughter of the Liu family."

Several people had a 'yes' expression.

"Right now, it's just my inference, and I need to find more evidence. After dawn, please trouble Shangfu Yin to order someone to invite the family of the second daughter-in-law of the Liu family to the county government. Second brother, you go home after dawn, and let the old Prepare a comfortable carriage and accompany Gu You out of the city to bring Gu Zuo back, I think he has been following Chen Zhong, so he should know something."

Song Gu said: "Find out what is hidden behind the stone gate, and find out who set up the scheme behind the scenes, then the case will be considered clear."

Xing Yun hurriedly asked: "Didn't you just say that we should go down and have a look together? This has arranged other things for them..."

"Don't delay, I just came up to take a rest. My mind was a little dull this night. If I don't go down and look at it, I feel uneasy. After reading it, I can sort it out more clearly."

Xing Yun snorted and said, "I don't see anything clear!"

Wu Chen smiled and said:

"That's because you didn't look at the whole thing together. Of course, you don't understand what it means to look at the overall situation. There are many details in the case file that have not been written. Is it because the Yang Fu Yin back then was not careful enough? I don't think so, the more you don't The records are more flawed, for example, when did Hao Kui and Mrs. Liu get married? It is only stated in the file that Hao Kui had a wife and married again, and it is said that there is evidence, but has any of you seen the evidence?"

"What can you tell from this?" Xing Yun asked with a frown.

"It can be seen a lot! First of all, how can Hao Kui not know about the crime of having a wife and marrying again? How can he be defenseless? Especially since he and Zou have been married for a long time, can he not know about Zou's temperament? How? If you are really confused by Mrs. Liu, will you be more or less cautious? In other words, if Hao Kui and Mrs. Liu have been married for two or three years, everything still makes sense, if not? ?”

"They just used Hao Kui to kidnap the Liu family's wife!" Shang Gong said excitedly.

"If the marriage between Hao Kui and Mrs. Liu is like this, the files we see will not be so vague. The reason why it is vague must be because if it is written, it will not stand up to scrutiny when meeting someone who cares. After Yang Fuyin, there were other people who served as the governor of Kyoto. Did the officials secretly order a secret investigation like the Shang Fuyin? If so, then there should be some additions in this case file, but I I've read it, and most of it was written by Yin Yang when he was in power, and there are a few other things added by Yin Shang."

Shang Gong nodded and said: "I know they have checked it before, but they didn't find anything, so there is nothing to add."

"And the longer the time, the more people will ignore the specific time of Hao Kui's marriage with Mrs. Liu..."

Shang Gong hurriedly said:

"I really didn't expect this to come up. If we had the exact time when Hao Kui and Mrs. Liu got married, we could figure out when Mrs. Zou knew about it and when he left for the capital. But there is nothing in the case file. It has been a long time. Wouldn't it be blurry!"

Xing Yun urged: "You've been talking about it for a long time and it's only one, what's next?"

"First of all, it is deduced that the lady of the Liu family may have been robbed by someone in this way, and secondly... those people are very anxious, and they can't wait for the time to match up! The marriage between Hao and Liu is nothing in the capital. It was a bit of a splash, and people asked about it, whether it was the Liu family or Hao Kui, they could be covered in a few words, so there was no such thing as a word in the case file, which gave those people the opportunity to wait for the case to happen. Spreading rumors, the common people will believe them nine times out of ten, and after a long time, they will even believe it to be true, which also paves the way for the death of the Liu family brothers one after another."

"When the brothers of the Liu family start to die one by one, it seems to make sense." The sophomore said.

Xing Yun asked puzzledly: "The Liu family brothers watched their own brothers die one after another, how could they not take any precautions? Especially when there are women and children left, those women just stay in this courtyard waiting to die? "

Wu Chen nodded and said:
"This is another flaw! Normal people don't say what happens in the family one after another, even if only one person dies suddenly, they will be worried. Who can appease this big family and make them die before they have time to panic? Who will help in the funeral? Zhang Luo? Why did the rest of the women and children go back to their mother’s family for help, but the request was only to put the child in their mother’s house? It just so happens that the daughter-in-law chosen by the Liu family seems to be sold by their mother’s family. "

"That's because they took the money!" The sophomore said angrily.

"That's right, money... where's the Liu family's money?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.

Song Gu frowned, leaned forward and said:
"You just said that there are three floors underground, and the upper two floors should be where gold, silver and jewelry are stored. That is to say, when the Liu family's sons were squandering extravagantly in those years, the Liu family had already used the underground Tibetan silver. At that time, only Liu's father knew about this secret door."

Shang Gong said:
"After the old couple of the Liu family died suddenly, the Liu family brothers might not even know the existence of the secret door. The so-called ancestral house should be the lies of those people who lied to the Liu family brothers. If this is the case, those people seem to be related to the Liu family Together."
