female catcher

Chapter 229
The person who killed Sun Youliang was obviously not the same person who committed the crime in Beijing, and maybe the person who killed the three officials was not the same person who attacked Gu Chizhang.But this is really not important, what is important is that there is a problem with targeting Gu Chizhang, but it is not certain whether he is the mastermind behind this whole incident, because he is too obvious.

Generally speaking, those who charge ahead are not big bosses.

Gu Chizhang was injured, Gu Chizhang identified the murderer, Gu Chizhang saw the memorial, Gu Chizhang privately found officials to investigate secretly, and then the officials died, which means that there is no evidence for death.

All the things were actually said by Gu Chizhang, who used a bitter trick to push out everything behind the scenes seemingly by accident. Even if he is not the main messenger, he must be closely related to the main messenger.

Xia Chu reviewed the whole matter, and said to Chang Qing in a low voice: "Chang Qing, you go and keep an eye on Gu Chizhang."

"Okay." Chang Qing nodded without saying a word.

"If necessary, find a few brothers outside you to help you, don't use people from the government office. The main thing is to see where he goes besides the imperial city and home. In addition, pay attention to whether anyone is looking for him."

Chang Qing thought for a while and said: "It's better not to let outsiders know as much as possible. If you don't keep it right, it will be all over if you leak it. Besides, there are too many people following you and it will be conspicuous."

"Okay, you can do it as you see it." Xia Chu said: "If there is any movement, remember to tell me quickly, don't act rashly."

"No problem." Chang Qing threw up a peanut and caught it with his mouth, crossing his legs and shaking.The fight outside was over, Chang Qing's brother was looking up at him, he waved at him, and the brother left.

Seeing it at the beginning of Xia, he smiled at Chang Qing and said, "You're quite chic, you're in a public office, and you have a bunch of younger brothers outside."

"It's not bad." Chang Qing smiled, and after looking at her for a while, he corrected his expression slightly, "For me, the government office can't be foolish, but the days when Mr. Jiang was here were really good, and later I also felt that , Actually, I really want to be a good catcher." He hastily added: "But if you are a head catcher, let's forget about Zhong Fuming."

"Why don't you do the headhunting yourself," Xia Chu said.

Chang Qing smiled without comment, got up and brushed off the peanut skins on his body, "I'm leaving."

Xia Chu also left the teahouse later, found a quiet place and called Min Feng out.Every time this happened, Xia Chu felt unkindly that Min Feng was like a divine beast that could be summoned.

"Brother Min, can you find out where the three officials who were killed went that night?" Xia Chu asked him.

"You can't find it." Min Feng answered her directly.

Xia Chu was short of breath for a while, and was choked by him for a long time, unable to speak.Thinking about it, if this clue is not important, it should have been found earlier, but there is no trace now, which shows that it is very important.That is to say, it is deliberately hidden, and if you want to ask, you will definitely not be able to find out.

She bit her lower lip and thought for a moment, then bit her lower lip, "Brother Min, do you know where those three officials live?"

"I'll ask." Min Feng put down these three words, turned around and disappeared.

Xia Chu originally wanted to ask if Xiang Qing was found, but he didn't make it in time, so he had to put it down first, thinking that if there was any news, Min Feng would tell him.

She really hoped to find it. Now that all the things are sorted out, there is nothing wrong with the logic, but there is no evidence.On the contrary, the opponent's logic is untenable, but it is all evidence.

The most untenable thing is Jiang Xiyuan's purpose of treason.Take power?If the Jiang family is willing, the power is in their hands every minute!What about Sun Youliang's memorial? He has already escorted him to the capital. If he has something to say, he can't say it until he enters the capital?What kind of memorial to write, just take off your pants and fart!

Damn, it's really stubborn!Xia Chu thought angrily.

Xia Chu went back to the government office to show his face, asked symbolically if there was anything wrong, and if Mr. Zhong's case had progressed, then stole a map of Xijing from the government office and slipped back home.

Min Feng was already sitting in the yard when he entered the door, Xia Chu looked at the door lock in his hand and felt very stupid.This person's execution ability is really not ordinary!While thinking, she greeted Min Feng, "Brother Min is so fast."

Min Feng just nodded.

Xia Chu spread out the map of Xijing on the table, and Min Feng pointed to Changxing Square and said, "The left servant of the household department lives here." Member Uiro lives here."

Xia Chu took a pen and marked these two places, and also marked Fenglefang and Chongdefang where they were killed.The common feature is that, with the central axis Suzaku Street as the line, all three people live in the east, and all die in the west.

"Changxingfang is in the east of Fenglefang, and Jingshanfang is in the southeast of Chongdefang. People will definitely choose a shorter distance to reach their destination."

Xia Chu bit the barrel of his pen, and habitually said while thinking: "According to Yang Yuzuo, the place where these people died should be the first scene, so the possibility of throwing the corpse is ruled out. From this point of view, they go to The place must be in the west or northwest of the city."

Min Feng also looked at the map, and gave a rare hum to show that he was listening or agreeing.

Xia Chu was deeply encouraged, and continued: "It takes two hours from when you get off work to when you are killed. Even if you turn back immediately when you get there, this place is at most within an hour's walk." She roughly calculated , draw a circle on the map, including twelve squares and one west market.

"Are they going to the same place?" Min Feng asked.

"Nine times out of ten." Xia Chu frowned and thought for a while, then said, "The three of them all gave up the carriage and walked instead, the places of death were only one room apart, and the murderers used the same method, I don't think there should be so many of them here. coincide."

Min Feng glanced at the map again, and said, "The range is too large."

"That's right." Xia Chu put down his pen and stared at the circle with folded arms.The scope is indeed too large, especially if it includes a West Market, where there are many teahouses and restaurants, and there are a lot of fish and snakes, let alone more than a dozen workshops, even if the light circles out a West Market, it may be useless.

"Brother Min, I think it must be the other party's request that they give up the carriage, so that they can be easily assassinated. Although it is not a big deal to have an extra coachman, it is still a little bit more risky. Besides, if the horse is startled and starts to run, it may be possible. Letting people escape is far less sure than dealing with a walking person." Xia Chu said: "But, it is the other party's consideration that the other party refuses to let the car ride, why are they so obedient?"

After a moment of silence, Min Feng and Xia Chu said at the same time, "Hide your identity."

The carriages of the officials in the capital are marked with identity marks. Firstly, it is more convenient for those who go out of the city to do business. Secondly, walking in the middle of the capital avoids the possibility of being bumped into. When the common people see the official’s carriages, they will flash a little bit, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles. Trouble.Moreover, this is also a kind of official authority.

Xia Chu walked around the yard with his hips akimbo, "If the speculation is correct, then the mastermind behind this scene is not small! Minister, Yuanwailang, these are all high-ranking officials, let them be ordered to return If you want to hide your identity, then the identity of the chief envoy should also be hidden."

In this way, these few dead people were also in that group.What is this called, if you do many unrighteous actions, you will kill yourself, right?Being framed as a victim.It also deserves it.

Xia Chu took a pen and paper and briefly wrote down the situation and rough speculation of the past few days, folded it and handed it to Min Feng, and said: "Brother Min, please pass this on to the emperor. Based on my understanding of the court , It is impossible for me to guess who this master is, and I hope to inspire him."

Min Feng took it and turned to leave. Xia Chu rushed over and grabbed him, "I almost didn't have time to ask, did Xiang Qing gain anything?"

"I'm looking for connections in the rivers and lakes, and I'll tell you if I have any news." After Min Feng finished speaking, he jumped into the room.

Rivers and lakes... Xia Chu secretly sighed as he watched the direction where Min Feng disappeared.It's really turbulent, not only the court, but even the guards and eunuchs can't believe it now.She finally understood what it meant to be intertwined.

Su Zhen was 'investigating the case' with a group of ministers in the Imperial Study Room. An Liang quietly handed over Xia Chu's letter. After he unfolded it, he quickly read it, frowning slightly.

He originally thought that the main messenger of the whole incident was a high-ranking official in the three provinces, people like Liu Shangshu, but if it was what Xia Chu speculated, then the main messenger might not be in the court.

Not in the court, but familiar with the affairs of the court, using people in the court, and the plot is so big...

After procrastinating for a while, Su Zhen said that he was tired and told the group of courtiers to disperse first.As if they had been pardoned, this group of people put down their files and kowtowed to thank them, and withdrew from the Imperial Study Room.

Su Zhen put his gaze on Gu Chizhang, thought for a while, and then raised his voice, "Gu Aiqing stay a step."

Gu Chizhang was walking out, he couldn't help trembling when he heard such a sentence, he turned around and walked back after he stabilized his mind, bowed and said: "The minister is here."

Su Zhen looked at him for a while, smiled slightly, got up and walked down the Long Shuan, and asked slowly after reaching his side, "Is Gu Aiqing's injury better?"

Gu Chizhang panicked and said: "I thank the emperor for your concern, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

"Gu Aiqing doesn't talk much today, what do you think about this case? I want to hear it."

Looking at Su Zhen's gentle smile, Gu Chizhang felt terrified in his heart, not knowing what it meant.Why did I leave myself alone to ask for my opinion, and asked about my injury in a good manner.

Beating drums in his heart, Gu Chizhang could not help coping with it with [-]% energy: "I think... that the emperor's investigation of this case is an act of a wise king. It's just that the Jiang family has no excuses to explain the matter, so don't you know it's not like that?" A guilty conscience. Although the Jiang family was meritorious ministers in the past, their merits and demerits cannot be offset. The emperor must not be merciful to those who are not ministers. If you save the jackals from difficulties, they will cause serious troubles in the future."

"That's right." Su Zhen smiled deeper and nodded, "It's just that I'm suspicious..."

Gu Chizhang's heart was in his throat, but when Su Zhen said this, he stopped talking, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, Gu Aiqing, let's go back first." After speaking, he called An Liang, and left Yu Yu first. study.

The emperor left, and Gu Chizhang couldn't stay in the imperial study for a long time, so he walked out with an extremely anxious heart, feeling his legs were a little weak.

suspicion?What is the emperor suspicious of?What did you say halfway but didn't say anymore?

Gu Chizhang swallowed his saliva, pondered for a moment and then walked away quickly.
